To the Editor of the Temperance Banner.
Sir: —The County ofGwinftotf htvv
sometimes been called the political ba
rometer of the State, but low much,
more honorable to point the way in the
glorious temperance reformation—to
rear aloft the immaculate banner, —
charge the enemy into the ditch, and
show no quarters till the cause of God |
and humanity triumph. You sir, ap- j
pear to have strong confidence in the
moral courage of the good people of
Georgia. You are evidently right.—
We are all ready, aye ready, and only j
wait the word “advancp guns load
ed—bullets in our mouths—and flints
picked. What County will next come
to the rescue? What County did 1
say. rather let me ask what County ‘
will not come ? Who so base as to de- i
sert at this critical moment of trial, the
drunkard’s forlorn, lonely, and desolate
wife, and number the tears and count
the sorrows of her helpless progeny ? ■
Who would not prefer to be a volun- j
teer under the snow white banner of
the fair Anna Frances, to being the j
bearer of the crimson (lags of Cleopat-1
sa, and Joan of Arc ?
I give below an extract from the pre
sentments of the Grand Jury of Gwin
nett, which I fully believe entitles it to
the appellation of the Banner County.
But the best of all is, the extract was
sanctioned bv a unanimous vote of the
body. GlVii IT 1N CA PITALiS :
“The number of presentments that
have come before this body during the
present term of the Court, together with
the daring robbery recently committed
upon an old and defenceless citizen, in
dicate an alarming increase of crime.
We, therefore, earnestly request all of
ficers who have in charge the preserva- |
tion of” the. peace and good order of the j
community he urged to extra vigilance
in ferreting out offenders against the
laws of the State, and endeavor to check
the excessive immorality which is
countenanced by a large portion of the
community. And in tracing the cau
ses which lead to the commission of so I
n uch crime, we come to the conclusion j
that the sale and use of spiritous liq-1
uors, is one of the most prolific sources !
of this evil; —•the tralfic and use ofj
them is socially ami morally wron", i
and injurious to the community, us well j
as dangerous and prejudicial to the j
good order and peace of society. We i
have had before us during the present j
term of this Court, several melancholy ;
instances of its unhappy etide's upon I
tiie promising youths of this county, j
■who, after having been first influenced j
with alcohol at those pauper factories,\
which aie located on the streets of the j
town and highways of the County, and !
under its influence are led to the liou- j
■sos of debauchery, and thence an open j
road to degradation and ruin—furnish-!
iug our County Jail as well as the Stale i
Prison, with wretoln and inmates.
‘ Therefore, we conclude that any
system which is u tin rally productive of
so much evil, ought to be, by all men,
abandoned, and by law prohibited.

A fault of Juvenile Speakers consists in
extreme fondness for the display of 4ly
ferlutin’ words. They seem to think that
the ‘summum honum’ of a popular speech
is attained when they have elicited from
their mental habitation an illimitable con
catenation of bombastic diction, whose es
sence is immateriality—an abstract intangi
bility or an intangible abstraction, ending
ju the profound researches of transcenden
talism.

A gentleman on whom we can rely,
informs us that he has now in his em
ploy five men, who, for the year pre
ceding the nineteenth of July, were
known ns drunkards, and had not in the
time performed a single week of un
broken labor, but who since that time
have been steadily at work, and have
carried to their families, every Satur
day night, the wages of their week’s
toil. Let the rum organs put that in
their pipe, ond then see if they can’t
hunt up a case of drunkenness some
where, brought about by the liberality
of some of the rumselling gentry.—
Providence Advocate.
The rumsellers never complain a
word against a law which sends a
drunken man to jail. That same law
is fulfilling as legitimate a purpose
when it sends the man who sells to jail.
Iff wrong to get drunk, it is wrong for
the wretch to sell to the drunkard,
jt makes a difference whose ox it is
that gores —don’t it, gentlemen of the
toddy stick?— Era.
The Boston Commonwealth says
thai-a rum seller in that city dropped
dead while a drunkard’s wife was re
monstratiug with him for selling rum
to her husband. ‘'Wo unto him that
giveth bis neighbor drink.
“ ; Tis strange,” muttered a young
man as he staggered home from a sup
per,. “how evil communications cor
rupt good manners. I’ve been sur
rounded by tumblers all tbe evening,
and now Pm a.Jumbler myself.”

the Stonington Railroad Companies

ORGAN OF THE SONS OF TEMPERANCE AND STATE TEMPERANCE CONVENTION
For the Temperance Banner.
We oftor hear planters boasting of ma
king six, eight, and ten b igs of cotton to
the hand,and when one speaks of making a
“fine crop,” it is understood that lie has
turned five or six bags or more per hand, j
Occasionally an old planter will take the j
liberty of enquiring of one of these fine
cropers how much corn lie has made, but
seldom venture further. Now it is this ve
ry eroneous idea, that a large number of
bags constitute of itself a fine crop, that is 1
so fatal to all improvement in planting, and
so ruinous to overseers. What does it
avail a planter to make ten bales of cotton
to a hand, if ho has to buy corn and moat.
If his mules break down, his negroes de
crease, and his lands go to nothing?
My idea, about a fine crop, is, first an
increase of negroes; second, enough made
on the plantation, of meat and corn to feed
every tiling abundantly; third, an improve
ment rather than a deterioration, in the pro
ductive quality of the lands; fourth, mules,
horses, fanning utensils and fences nil in
first rate order by Christmas; and then as !
much cotton as can be made and gathered i
under these circumstances. And 1 will j
venture to assert, that no planter will j
thrive in the lons run who does ni t make I
crops of this sort. A fine crop refers who
ly to a fine cotton crop,—you can hear
planters and overseers boasting on nothing
else but the cotton crops; they boast of
nothing but cotton at the court ground,
at the road working, and at the different
churches infact, at every public gathering
they possibly can get too. As soon as a
planter employs an overseer he goes about
and boasts on how many bags of Cotton lie
will make, and never say any tiling about
how much corn and wheat and oats and
rye and barley and hogs he will raise, it is
cotton all the time. No wonder then, that
the overseer desires to have the entire con
trol of the plantation. No wonder he oppo
ses all experiments; or if they are persisted
in, neglects them; presses every thing at
the end of the lash; pays no attention to
the sick, except to keep them in the field as
long as possible, and drives them out again
at the first moment, and forces sucklers and j
breeders to the utmost. He has no other
interest than to make a large crop of cotton.
And if this does not please you and make
you increase his wages, he knows men that
will increase them. I wish to see Overse
ers reformed; but planters must I fear re
form themselves. If they could only be in
duced, when overseers apply to them for
places, to ask the following questions and
engage according to their answers. I be
lieve it would if the plan was universally
adopted and kept up for five years, do more
good to improve agriculture than five hun
dred Cattle shews, as serviceable as I think
them to be.

promptly and fully?

“Speaking of signs,” an intelligent
paragraphist adds: “the sign only points
|to the pass r-by, who might learn, by
close observation, all the information
lit could give. It don’t go abroad. It
j can’t hunt up customers, and modestly,
or with boldness, make them acquain
ted with that which is for the interest
of both parties. Newspapers can do
\ this.—They do it every day, and every
hour of the day. They do it not only
in the front of your place of business,
i where stands your old
i they go into hotels, are IntMiDservetJ'TTq
! all observers. They talk to travellers, j
Jon canal and steamboats—in cars and j
’ and coaches. They peregrinate the !
country. They go into private fami-!
lies, talk with the old folks, arouse the’
attention of the daughters, talk largely j
to the sons, and bewitch the children.
They are ever active, ever talking, ever
exciting, and teasing you to come and
see. While the old sign is hid by the
darkness of night, newspapers have no
rest, no sleep. They are— uoom'erl^ff 1
perpetual talk and toil.
Setting Glass without Putty.—
The method of setting glass without
putty, recently invented, is- the. follow
: ing :•
The window sash is made entirely of
wood the permanent. The inside is
framed in such a manner that the parts
can be readily removed for the pur.
pose of inserting the glass which is
placed between slips of Indian rubber,
which, when the pafis of ‘.he sash are
replaced, causes the glass to be perfectly
firm. The moveable parts ot the sash
are secured to their place by a knoo
screw, which make a pretty finish.
The advantage of this method of set
ting glass must be obvious upon a mo
ment’s reflection.
