it will have its influence. They per

is the cause of all munkind. It is a j
cause in which every mail should feel

When I look around among mankind
and see daily the misery and woe that
shrouds the brow of the intemperate, 1
shudder at the very thoughts of it.—
I low can we remain idle, when we see
our fellow-men m such a perilous eon

a helping hand ? Should we not “warn

“Tile License System.”
The Nos. of “Pro Bono Publico,” under
the above caption, and to be found on our
I first page of this issue, we very earnestly
recommend to the calm and deliberate at
tention of all our readers. There are more
! articles from the same pen, which w e de-
I sign to transfer to our columns as opportu- j
! nity may offer. Let all who desire that the j
: truth may prevail, give an impartial reading i
to these articles,
Augusta.
Some of the citizens of Augusta, at least,
appears to have become awakened to a sense
of the evil effects of the License system,
and the necessity of a reform. In looking
over the proceedings of the City Council,
i at a regular meeting on the 2d iust. ive find
j the following item, which is published for
! the information of our readers. W r e trust
that the petition of the two hundred and
! sixty citizens, in the portion of the city des- j
( ignated, will he favorably regarded by the j
; Council, and that it is the precursor of what is 1
soon to come in the whole length and breadth
of the incorporation. Augusta has been j
burthened long enough by grog-shops;
’ there has been a sufficient sacrifice of men ;
and money to the ineloch of intemperance,;
fostered by the license system. The tears
; and groans of the* widow and the moth- i
er, are heard in every street in favor of the
prayer of the petitioners, and it is confident
ly hoped that grog-shop rule is near its i
jend :
“The petition of 260 citizens residing i.i!
that porfion of the city hounded South by I
South Boundary or Gwinnett street, West
by the Western boundary line of the city, j
North by the third level of the canal, and !
L'tst in part by said level and in part by j
the Savannah road or Twiggs street, pray-!
ing Council to -Refuse to grant License to j
Retail Spirituous Liquors any where within |
the limits Specified,” was read and received, j
Mr. Maharrey moved to grant the prayer
of the petitioners.
Mr. Conley moved as a substitute, that
the above petition be referred to tire Police I
Committee to report, which %vas accepted j
by Mr. Maharrey.
Mr. Foster moved tint no license to re
tail be granted within the above specified i
fines until after the tvporloftbe Police Com
mittee, w hich motion was carried.
The applications ofL. A. Ford and Albi- ’
on Allen lor Retail License No. 1, were
read, and being located within the limits I
above specified were on motion, laid upon ;
the table.” 1
“Watc-limau, tell us of the i
Sight.”
Among the “signs of promise” to the
friends of the Temperance Reform, we
chronicle with pleasure, the fact, that many j
ot the political papers of ilio day, which have
hitherto pronounced the Reform a ‘humbug,’
or steoa as lookers on in dignified silence,
have recently changed their attitude, so far
as either to speak kindly of the enterprize,
or to become its open advocates. And
what to us is still more significant and
gratifying, is the further fact, that here and
there may be found one of these journals, i
avowedly in favor of the enactment of laws !
to restrain the retail, or license system.
We have been led to these remarks, by j
the appearance of an Editorial in the Au- ;
gusto Chronicle & Sentinel, of the 7th
inst., under the head of the “Vice of Intern-!
P l ranee, in which the doctrine of “ abatin' y i
the nuisance, by prohibiting the sale at re
tail of intoxicating drinks,” is openly and i
boldly avowed.
Put this article with the recent petition of
two hundred and sixty citizens to the City ‘
j Council, praying that no license to retail i
intoxicating drinks be granted within their |
limits, and the friends ot the Temperance
Reform in Augusta, and indeed, throughout!
1 our State, have abundant reason to “thank
tied, and take courage.”
The following is the article from the!
“Chronicle & Sentinel:”
“The Vice of Intemperance, —The alarm-!
ing increase of intemperance and the extra-!
I ordinary amount of crime and vice growing
out of it, are creating a profound sensation
in the minds ot the lovers of order and mor
j ality throughout the land, and every where
people are canvassing in their minds the
means to be adopted of abating an evil of
so great enormity. That it is a nuisance of
extraordinary enormity, no candid, unpreju
diced man, whose opinions are otany value,
and who has taken any pains to observe the
course ot events and the amount of crime
resulting from intemperance and drunken
ness, can or will pretend to deny. It be
comes then the highest duty of the citizen,
I patriot and philanthropist, to deliberately in
vestigate and calmly resolve upon the most
j available means of abating such a nuisance.
I hat they have the power and that it is their
duty, we entertain no more doubt than we
do of their power to abate any other nui
sance, and we all know that they have plen
ary power to abate many nuisances not one
hundredth pan so destructive to life, liber
ty: and the good order, peace, dignity and
morals ot society, as that of intemperance.
W e have been led to these rein irks, by
reading the following extract from the Pre
sentments of the Grand Jury of Cass coun
ty. Similar sentiments had previously em
anated from a Grand Jury ,-fthe -am. coun
ty. and also from Mour. , e . The
question presented is of grave importance,
and must sooner or later be met try the peo-
I'lc, to he decided upon its merits. L-t
them reflect deliberately and dispassionately,
weighing carefully the subject, in all its
bearings, and then make up their deei ions.
If they”are patriots and philanthropists they
i can arrive at but one conclusion, to abate
, the nuisance, by prohibiting the sale at retail
of intoxicating drinks.
We are not unmindful of the fact that the
; utterance of this sentiment will excite a
mong the demagogues of the day and the
| ale-house politicians, no little clamor. We
i are prepared for all this. VVe have surveyed
! the whole ground. We have watched with
hi deep anxiety the progress of drunkenness,
and the daily increase of crime the imme
diate consequence of it, and we are prepared
to do ou r duty, our whole duty to the coun
try and our fellow beings, in an earnest and
honest effort to rid the country of the evil.
Then follows the extract from the Pre
sentments of the Grand Jury of Cass county,
requesting their “representatives in the next
Legislature to promote the passage of an
act submitting to a vote of the people the
question, whether or nut it be their will to’
haven law enacted suppressing the retail of
spirituous liquors in this State.”
Tiie item below is clipped from the Pre
j sentnients of the Grand Jury of the new
| County of Gordon, for Sept. Term of the
Superior Court. While we approve the
Presentment, we think the Jury could have,
with great propriety, gone a little further.
Is not “nine-tenths” of the “excessive use
of intoxicating liquors” to be traced to the
License system, which legislation has fixed
upon the “good citizens?” Tire most of
the Grand Jury are strangers to us, and how
< far their “influence” is exerted “to arrest the
prevailing vice,” w r e are not prepared to say.
We have not met with many of them at our
! temperance Conventions, and find but few
:of their names as patrons of the Banner.— ;
They may, nevertheless, be active friends of
the temperance reform, and at the Conven
tion to be held at Aatlanta, next year, we do :
hope to meet with many of’them and have
their aid and council in devising schemes to
rid the State of the “prevailing vice;”— ;
“We greatly regret the No. of true hills
we have been compelled to find and express j
our decided opinion that ninetenths of the,
crimes committed are from the excessive
use of intoxicating liquors, and We do roc-1
ommend our goon citizens to use their ut-[
most influence toarrest this prevailing vice.” :
‘S o ull persons Concerned !
The subscribers will say to the public,
that on and after this day, no liquor shall
be brought to or drank at this place. And
all persons underllie influence of liquor, arc
respectfully requested to keep away no.il
they arc capable of behaving themselves i..
a proper manner. We respectfully request
persons to bear in mind this request, us the
above shall be strictly adhered to.
BEAZKLY & WILLIAMS.
Woodville, Oct. 7.
Upon a visit to \\ oo Ktlie, a few davs
>mee, we found the above notice conspicu
ously posted upon the Store door of Messrs-
Beazelv &■ W illiams, who have recently
commenced a mercantile business there.
It is stated that it has been the practice of a
lew rowdies, to purchase spin s at a dogge
ry establishment or two, in the neighbor
hood, and then visit, Woodville so-r the pur
pose of showing off; and that scenes any
thing else but creditable to those engaged
in them, have been frequently witnessed.—
The stand taken by Messrs, li. & W. is
creditable to them, and we doubt not will
be advantageous in the end.
A correspondent a3 Hockey Mount, Meri
wether county, informs us, that about the:
time of the late session ot the Superior
Court, an old citizen, J T , who is a i
professor of religion, and who is in the con
stant habit of stimulating freely, in a drunk
en spree, fell out with his aged wile, and
with his Negro whip, severely lashed the old
lady. The wife finally made her escape j
and reached a friend’s house, who assisted ,
her in getting to the Court. She stated ;
the case to the Grand Jury, and a true 1
bill was found against old Jerry. The j
Judge immediately sent tlie Nheritf in pur
suit of the delinquent, who was brought in- |
to Court, put upon trial, found guilty, and
reqoirei. to surrender half his property to
the support ot the old lady, and to pay the !
State a tine of five hundred dollars.
It is further stated, that a doggery-keep
er has located himself about 10 ‘miles N.. E,
ot Greenville, in the neighborhood where the
event related above occurred, and that
drunkards are manufactured there by scores, j
Our correspondent thinks it an uphill busi

have received a good long letter from
‘Uncle Dabney” at too late a period for this
uvek’s Danner. It shall appear next week.
‘ Uncle Dabney says:—-‘Say to Sharon i)i

an appointment for me, on Friday, the 22d
Oct. provided a conveyance meet me in
Griffin, at Hilly Freeman's Cold Water
House on Thursday n'mln before, to carry
me to Sharon early on Friday morning.
-Sav to the brethren at Bartlesville, who
invited me through the h.-t Banner, that
Providence willing, I will be with them and
public ou Saturday the 23d of Oct., and will
expect to spend the Sabbath there.”

Glade !>ivisiou.
Then* are but few Divisions in the State
that are in a more prosperous condition, or
. which have accomplished a more thoroinr'i
reform than Glade Division in Oglethorpe
county. Accounts given from time to time
! in the Banner of its successful efforts, have
I no doubt been observed by our readers.
The Banner has a general circulation a
lining its membership; and last week wo
had an order, accompanied by the cash, for
ten copies, for gratuitous circulation.
The brethren of this Division know how to
work, and they do not stand idle.
We are a little curious to know what
| will he the course of a professed friend of
the Temperance Reform, who lives sotne
; wln-re not far from a line between this and
Augusta, towards the “Chronicle & Senti
nel,'’ for advocating legislation to abate the
liquor traffic. Wonder if lie will demand a
discontinuance of his Supscription, for fear
he may aid that paper in ruining the Tem
perance cause! and we wonder iflie will try
ami induce others to withdraw their sup
port from the “Chronicle &. Sentinel,” for
this unpardonable sin? Will some friend
keep us posted upon the subject l

We refer parents and guardians to the

Academy, with great pleasure. The health
and pleasant locality, the moral character of
the neighborhood, and the accomplished gen*

ins itution worthy the patronage of the pub*

Jludisou female College.
A friend has forwardt and us the Address
of the lion. Wm. li. Felton, of Cnrter.-viile,
i delivered at the annual commencement of
the above Institution, on the 29. h July last.
The Address is chiefly in illustration of tiie
position, “that the intellectual improvement
ot the sex exerts a controlling influence up
on public morals, and i* a sure ind, x of na
tional greatness;” which is enforced in
! chaste and eloquent language.
lim printing is trout the pr, *.ss of the
I “Madison Family Vistor,” and is creditable
, to the prof.ssion.
We have been sending the Banner
to the address ot “.Mrs. F. .U. Jones,” at Eli*
banks’ p, Columbia county, since the
j first ot March last. V, e have learned this
week that there is no p. r.-ou of that name
in the neighborhood, o u hope someone
i will inform us upon the subject.

“A Costi-v Rost*:.—A married lady on a
. visii to New York was arrested on Friday,
;at Greenwood Cemetery fur a violation of
! the rules for tile government of th ,t enclo
sure. Ilcr offence was the gathering of a.
.rose from one of the trees which a.torn the
i ground, and being seen to do so by oil- of
I the wardens of the ground, she was taken,
into custody, in pursuance of the positive
general orders of the trustreex- .Security
was immediately given for the- appearance
of the lady to answer the charge, and she
was released.
Subsequently an effort was m do by tho
lady’s friend, to induce the company’s offi
cers to withdraw the charge. To this, how
ever, they could not consent, con-istentlv
with their course in previous iu.-tonoes, Lift
they interceded with the jus,ice before
whom the party were summoned to make
die punishment as light as poss ble. When,
the case was called, a tine of live dollars was
imposed, that being the minimum, allowed
hy the law, while il may be increased to ti -
ty dollar*,accompanied by imprisonment.”
The above paragraph is going the
rounds of our exchanges, and we insert it,
in the hope that it may catch the eye of
some whose rude hands have so disfigured
and desecrated the trees in the Fenfield bu
'3 big ground, dedicated to the memory of
j the departed ones. Whether such nets arc
result ot thoughtlessness, or something
worse, they are alike objectionable.
