The proceedings of the meeting in Camp- 1
j bell county, we trust, will be a spur to the !
j friends of the February Convention, in eve- \
ry county in the State. J’tm ■qiirit exhibit
ed by the citizens of Campbell, is very j
much to our liking; and the of the Li- :
cense system irt each county, should at once |
adopt measures to have a full representation
at Atlanta on the 22d of February. There
is no time to spare; tiie object in view is of
j the first importance, and the friends of law
! and order in every part of the State, should
see to it, that a representation worthy the :
occasion should be timely appointed.

The letter of J. Reneau, in relation to .
’ the “Knights of Jericho,” will appear iti our
j next.
i yTh License Law,” by Amiens Pubiici,
is under consideration. The great length
of tiie article is an obstacle to an early in
sertion. Why not divide such essays into
three or four numbers?
“All is vanity,” a poetical article, shall
appear.
The articles by “Plow Boy” need more
correction than it is in our power to bestow.
“Spctntor” is u tder consideration. The
| article is too long for an early insertion,
j YVe coincide pretty much vv itfi “Spectator”
in the view he takes x>f the “Flournoy Pe
* ‘ition.” YV e are among those who believe
I that the movement of Mr. Flournoy never in
jured the temperance reform, in any way
whatever. That it was rather a benefit, and
I (hat this will be manifested in the battles
yet to be fought.
Some other articles are laid by indefinite
ly.
“Castigator,” in reply to “Investigator,”
is inserted in a previous column, and a
promise is made for another article upon the
subject. Our correspondent will not be
offended w ith us for suggesting, that per
sonal allusions should he avoided, and we
hope in his promised article, this hint will
he remembered. Thu article of “investiga
tor, was somewhat reluctantly admitted
into our columns—not because vve thought
his positions unanswerable—but rather
from the apprehension, that it would call
built a discussion that would occupy too
much space in our columns at a time when
it was needed (or matters of more impor
tance, and more suitable to the taste of
out readers. VVc hope our friends will not
permit the communication of “Investigator”
to divert their time and attention from the
gtf.it cause which they profess to love, par-!
ticularly at a time of so much importance
as the present. YVe did not agree in the j
opinions of the writer, and so expressed j
ourself at the time of the publication of bis
article. But vve are over a free press, and
because we do not accord in sentiment with
a writer we never think that isolated fact, a
sufficient reason to exclude him from our
columns. YVe do not think either of the
institutions rejected by “Investigator” likely
fall or suffer material injury by his com
miunication; and therefore, their friends
“should"not Uc greatly disturbed.

T &'legislature of Vermont has passed a
to the Maine Liquor Law.—
■j/Thv vote in the Senate on the passage of I
the Bill, was 18to C; in the Hou-e the vote
was much closer, owing, ns it is said, to par ,
ty influences. Tiie Bill is to be submitted to
’ the people at a special election in March next,
when,it is believed, it will be largely adop
ted. Four of the six New England States I
have enacted prohibitory laws in relation to j

A mass meeting of the Sons of Temper
ature in San Francisco, was held by moon-
I light, on the 21th October.
The following, bv Rev, M. C. Briggs, is
| a strongly drawn but truthful picture of
what may be found here as well as tiiere.— |
I He was speaking of rum’s influence on Leg-;
| islators and Judges, and the duty es voters !
I to withhold support from such.
“Arid that he might call ou! the senti- j
I tnents of his auditory on this poin t, lie sum- |
uionet! before their imagination an aspirant I
for a Judgeship, with tottering step and I
trembling hands, with bloated, carbuncled, j
brandy-scorched visage, the scalding rheum |
dripping front .his swollen, bloodshot eves, j
and the amber of tobacco oozing from bis
filthy jaws, from which he mutters Billings
gate profanity and obscene belchings from !
carrion lungs. When all minds had be
come sufficiently disgusted with this faithful i
picture of real life at the ballot-box, lie I
said, —‘Now I will hold him by the ear i
j while you vote for him. Will you do it?’ j
j The response of ‘No! no! never!’ which j
[came up from the congregation, ‘like the
j ‘ “ice of many waters,’ was thrilling in the |
| extreme.
j “Jle urged tiiat vve should elect sober
J legislators, that we may obtain sober legis
! laiion; that we should place upon the
! Bench sober Judges, that vve may obtain
sensible decisions in matters of right; that
i vve should see to it, that all offices of trust
j and responsibility shall be tilled with tem
perate, judicious men—men of integrity—
men free and pure from this taint of the bot
tomless pit.”

We arc indebted to our friends of Tun
nel! Hill Division, for a list of Ten New :
Subscribers, for a beginning of the New i
Year. The friend Who forwarded the list i
assures us that all the f riends of temper
ance in itis part of the State, go for the
Maine Law—they are forming ranks for the
battle, and expect to put the license system
to flight, in 1853. Our best wishes attend
the brethren of Tunnel! Hill Division and
we trust tit: ir desires may be fully realized.

Dear Reader :—Though absent from tj^ e
scene of my labors in pci on. I have not for
gotten you, or unmindful of the Banner. —
(Distance is comparatively nothing, as long
,as “Uncle Sam’s waiting boy” is in exfolfl
! cnee. How soon is the news conveyed!
from one section of the country to another!
1 was pleased in observing—in my journey
from Greenesboro’ ti Augusta—that the
j telegraph line from Augusta to Atlanta is’
| nearly completed ; thus the two cities will
;be brought in a few flays, almost—so to
j speak—in speakidg distance.
Augusta is quite improved. The great
freshet we had s. me time since, lias, 1 think,
proved advantageous to the city. It looks
neater, and the streets are more cleanly than
they w ere some time back. I must not for
get to say a word in reference to the “United
States Hotel.” It In : undergone a tlior
\ ough repair; in fact, the interior of it is al
most remodeled. One in entering it, would
scarcely recognise it as the old stand. If I
am not gaeatly mistaken, it has changed
hands. One thing, however, I regretted to
j see, viz: The bar-room , with its sparkling
j liquors. Leaving this out, and it is the best
Hotel in the eiiy. 1 was conducted to a
comfortable room and bed for thc-i%tdiii
Early on the following morning, I tons
j the cars at Hamburg for Charleston. There
j is quite an improvement on this road, in
avoiding the “incline plane,” at the town of
Aiken. Aiken is still the breakfast house
for this line. A few hours ride, an i vve
were ii the “Queen ffity .of the South.”—
We reached Charleston in time for dinner.
! forbear giving the reader any description
of the eiev, for it would swell out this let
ter to too great a length.
The following day I sp ..tin the city.—
It was rather unpleasant, as it rained most
ly the whole day. I had the pleasure of
dining with niv much estev med friend, the
Rev. E. T. Wixki.fr, C. K. S. B. P. S. and
Editor of the Sen: hern Baptist. He has
been very ill this fall with the yellow fever,
but is now quite well and hearty.
The next day 1 took the Steamer fl’ji.
Skabrook, for St. Lukes. This boat makes
a weekly trip from Charleston to Savannah,
stopping at all the intermediate landings,
viz : Beaufort, Portrayal Ferrv, Hilton
Head, Biuffton, and jjfavanimii. She leaves
Charleston every Friday at 9 o’clock A. M.,
and in returning leaves Savannah s>n Sab
bath night at fit o’clock P. M. She has
excellent State rooms and splendid accom
modations on board. * r
The day was very unpleasant—cloudy
and hazy, but no rain. We had a very
rough sea on Charleston bar, and indeed, af
ter vve bad crossed, for we had to contend
both against the tide and wind. While fair
ly out at sea, the white capped breakers can
be seen lor miles. I; is, indeed.a most mag
nificent and imposing sight, to stand upon
the deck of a noble sea boat, and view the
breakers as they rise apparently “mountain
high,” earning von in one moment far
•
| above the surface of the waters, and in the
j next, below its surface. The expression of
j the Psalmist, literally applied, “I am come
into deep waters, where the Hoods overflow
j me,” is applicable at such a time. De.fr
j reader, such 1 ) assed through a few days
j since. If your I lood lias never been made
{to curdle, it w< uid have done so, or its cir
culation would have stepped forever, a few
days since after crossing Charleston bar. I
forbear to speak of sea-sickness, &c.
V\e readied Beaufort in safety at night,
and'saw nothing blit the lights of the town
as we appro:died Re wharf. I can give
you no account of any of the places on the
river, as we passed them all at night. Wo
j reached Boyd’s L uidin . ibout 3 o’clock
J the morning, and there I found a vehicle
waiting for me, which 1 took iumiediataly,*:

Ckawfjhu Cos., Due. 2j 1852.
Dear Bra Brdutly, —Enclosed, I
sena you two dollars, one of which you
will please place to the credit of A. G.
Slappv, an I tiff? othei to your humble
| servant, D. Bigelow. To all the sub
i scribers who ItrtjVe setfi on money to the
I Banner, which lias fallen into dishon-
I est hands, this proposition is made by
one of their number, viz: That we re
l>ay the dollar. ■ My conscience tells
me (and that “soovot monitor,” enlight
ened by the Holy Spirit isa sureguide)
that it is morally right, that it is but
j observing “tK. Golden Rule” of the
: bleftseiLSaviour, “Do unto others, &c.”
Moreover, the Banner is richly worth
j twice the subscription price, to all who
diligently read it, and even if it were
not, we shill only lose erne dollar, while
our brother Will losft hun/lrv/lo
wui ■•'•uiiiwi win lose nunarcas.
Besides, vve shall gain and enjoy tli ft
.sweet consciousness, (which money
cannot purchase.) of having performed
a beneficent action, of having done as
we would be dor-o. by. What say you,
brother subscribe,, shall we suffer our
biother to 10,0 hundreds, and ourselves
tbesweet. luxury^of a just and benef
uent action, when, by re-paving our
d ? l,ar, we shall lose nothing in'a pecu
mary point of view? YVe trust not
lours truly,
