Desiring to extend the circulation ot the 5 Banner, and to procure the means of giving it anew dress and otherwise improving it. we will give a copy of Harper's Pictoriai ( Bible —worth Twenty-five Dollars—th< most splendid edition of the Bible ever pub- ! lished—to the Agent who will procure the | highest number over one hundred of New j Subscribers to the Banner, between this | date and the 4th of July next. 35F” Subscribers ordering their papers ! changed to another Post Office, are espe j cially requested to be particular to state tin ! office to which the paper is now sent. Our correspondents must exercise a little patience. VVe are, for the pres ent, unable to use our hand, from that troublesome affliction, flesh and bone is sometimes heir to, called a felon. The Ratification proceedings of Clarke County, and at Cedar Town, with some other communications, wii! appear in our next. An Argument against drink ing- DeKalb Superior Court is progressing at Decatur, Judge Hill upon the Bench. We understand that there are only seven in jail for murder, and only about fourteen or fifteen in all, who are confined oil criminal charges. Rum presided at the perpetration of all these offences. The above paragraph from the At lanta Republican, presents one of the saddest pictures that can be imagined of disorganized morals in a land of civ ilization and Christianity. If it be in deed true, that “Rum presided at the perpetration of all these offences,” it presents the strongest oi all reasons for abolishing the rum-traffic. We are willing to submit the case without ar gument. Gentlemen oftlie Jury ! The Grand Inquest of the Sute ! People of Georgia ! What say you, “Guilty cr Not Guilty ?” Upon your conscience answer and vote. Per Centra. VVe copy below, from the Augusta Constitutionalist, an argument for diinking and sustaining the License Law. The Cousfitutimialist is a lead ing paper in the Stale and one of the ablest, and though wo take opposite sides on the L'quor Question, Col. Gardner is one of our good ti iends. A s a matter of courtesy we publish the ar gument t> has presented and entreat our friends and opponents to weigh ii well. VVe think it puts the case ot the opposition in its strongest view, and have no doubt it will excite the admira tion of those whom it does not convince. Here then is the argument oi the Con stitutionalist : An Argument for Drinking — “Now Inx you fellers, who's the best, citizen, him that supports government or him ns doesn’t? Why, him as does, in course. VVe support guvernuieiit, every one ns drinks supports guvernuieiit, flint is if lie linker at a license house. Every blessed drop of licker that be swollers that is taxed to pay the salary of them nr officers, such as Mayors and corporations, the Constables, Presidents and Custom-house gentlemen. ’Spose we was to quit drink—why guver.i rnent must fail; it couldn’t help it no liow. That’s the very rezitii i drinks. J doi ‘i like grog. 1 mortally hate it. it I fullered my own inclination, I’d rather drink butt-r ----tnilk, or ginger pop or Dearborn’s sody water. But 1 tickers for the good of my ; country to set an example ot patriotism and vircliuous self-denial to the rizun genera tion. Judge HlcCluie and Intemperance Judge McClure, of Pennsylvania, in a charge to the Giand Jury recently, spoke of intemperance and crime in the following emphatic manner: The court lias been in session since October Term, without intermission, despatching the criminal business oi the County. I have kept a docket and tabic of contents, cause, time, &c., in my own way, collateral to and independent of the usual records of the Court, and with out wearying your patience with the process I have gone through, I will give you the results, which is that, had it not been for the use and abuse of ar dent spirits in Alleghany County,every case on the October calendar would have been disposed of in one week (and the district Attorney confirms this statement) with the utmost ease, and the cases would have been of a trifling nature. There would not have been one case in the Oyer and i er miner. I.shall cease to prate any more to Grand Juries about this omnipotent parent of crime, alcohol. Isa century of imbecile legislation have not sufficed to convince reasonable men; if crime and poverty before their faces has failed to convince; if a ceaseless drain upon theircharity, from destitution, caused bv drink; if their increased taxes, it men’s eyes and ear., will not convince; ORGAN OF THE SONS OF TEMPERANCE AND STATE TEMPERANCE CONVENTION if the evidence of our senses will not enlight-n our understanding, in this behalf, and cause in the community coi responding acts, prompted by duty and common sense, then, to talk upon this theme longer here, is lime thrown away. If society chooses to indulge in this i costly luxury ot woe, and in the causes that produce it, I have no more to say, for society has the power to select its own peculiar enjoyments, and indulge itself therein. Its right to do so is more ! questionable. Which is the Worst ? A liquor seller in a heated discussion about the Maine Law, exclaimed,— “These Temperance men carry mat ; ters altogether too far. We never com .pel men to buy or use liquor, but if | they are fools enough to do it, it is their look out, not ours.” “Sir,” said a by-stander, “Do you say a man is a fool who buys and drinks i liquor to excess ?” i Said the liquor dealer, “Yes, any ! man is a fool ;o do it, I don’t care who • ! he is!” “Well, sir,” replied the by-stander, “I will not dispute you. But if the man who drinks is fool enough to spend his time and money in a way that is ruining his property, character, health, happiness, family, soul and body,—what must he the character of the man who will take advantage of his folly, be. cause he makes money by it? If the one is a fool, is not the other a knave ?” Selected. Cargo of Ladies for California. —The French Sonsonatte arrived at Valpariso recently with a cargo of two hundred : ladies for California. The young ladies quite enlivened tile sreets of that city ! a few days, undone or two soft-hearted citrangeros tried hard to induce some of them to remain, but it was no go. The ladies said that, having come so far, they were determined to see tlu elephant. The New Ritual. —We learn from the Kentucky New Eia, that the com miUe of the National Division on the New Ritual, alter another sitting, and amending the work previously compiled, resolved to issue tne new Blue Book witi.out further delay. The i work will he ready in a few days, and j applications for it must be made to M. W. S. F. A. Fickardt, Bethlehem, Pa. | Hence it appears *hat no further op ■ j portuniiy is afforded for suggesting , changes, or getting the question con jsideied in N tional Division, before . | introducing the ritual, as some have desired. Mrs. Fillmore. —The Tribune in speak ill o of the decease of this estirna | hie lady says, that Mrs. Fillmore was not de.sigtied by nature to dazzle in a i ball-room nor to win admiration from (casual observers; nor did she find de | light incro.vdsor display. Few however, can have known her without being im | pri ssed with the, blending in her char acter of good sense with high principle, I or rdined womanly feeling, with active ; beneficence. Asa wife and mother, j none couid he more exemplary; as a | Christian, few have more happily com bined earnest piety with unaffected hu militv. Her death leaves avoid in the In tier society of Buffalo which will : nut soon ho filled—riot to speak of the narrower circle to which it is irrepar-l aide. An extraordinary Man. —On Satur ! day last, an old revolutionary hero, ; nan.ed John Skin O’Brien, was admit ted into the House of industry, in Moya tnensing, with his wife and five of his youngest children. Mr. O’Brien was 1 born in the Oneida tribe of Indians, in j the State of Massachusetts. His motli !er was a daughter of a chief of this tribe, and his father a son of the Emer ! aid Isle. At the age of twelve years he was sent to Europe to be educated as | a physician, where he remained until he was 22 years of age. He was in Paris at the time General La Fayette was prepaiingto embark for the A met . icau Continent, to join in the revolution. 1 Young O’Brien then formed the res olution to return to his native land and 1 engage in the struggle for liberty. He j joined tiie eastern division of the army under the immortal Washington, in the capacity of surgeon’s mate under Dr. Comstock. He was engaged in nearly (all the battles of that eventful period, during which lie received two wounds i from balls in the chest, and also one from a bayonet. In the war of 1812, he again entered the army, and commanded a company : lof sharp shooters under Wilks, Pike; and Brown. He will be one hundred years oj ege on the 3 I of April, 1803, and is me father of thirty-one children, all of whern are said to be living. His intellect is unimpaired. He stands over j six feet in height, and is very athletic. His face is rather handsome, and the lower part thereof being wreathed in the frosts of a hundred winters, gives him the venerable appearance of a pa triarch indeed. His y ngest, child, a daughter, is only about eight months old. Honor and riches are two wheels upon which the whole world is moved; these are the two springs of our dis-: content. A Strong Position- — Gentlemen of the Jury: There are four points in this ch o. Di the first place, we con tend ihut we never had the plaintiffs horse; second, that wepii l him for the use of the horse; third, he agreed to let us Use tin horse for his keeping, without nnv charge; and fourth, that his horse is a jackass. Reputation, honor, and preferment, are gained, retained, and maintained by humility, discretion, and sincerity, with which, till a man be accommoda ted and accomplished, he is not esteem ed as a worthy member in a Common wealth. Ratification Meeting in Carrollton on the sth Saturday in April, (30th and last day,) 10 o’clock, A. M. The friends of the measure adopted by the Anti-Liquor Traffic. Convention, held at Atlanta, on the 22nd February last, will meet in Carrollton at the time specified ; several gentlemen will address the meeting.

Whereas we h ve been informed, by our Sister Society ot the sad bereavement, which she has sustained by the death of her highly esteemed member, Felix YV. Janes, j le il Resolved, That tve cordially respond to (the sentim nts of regard, which she has expressed for her deceased member; that we, too, deeply feel the heavy hand of Pro vidence in the afflicting dispensation, and most tenderly sympathize with our Bister, in the irremediable loss which she has sus tained. Resolved, That, with the deepest feelings of sadness, we unite our sympathies with her’s, for the mourning friends, who have been deprived of an interesting and warm hearted associate, and for the afflicted fami ly, who have lost an amiable and affection ate relation. And, that, while we look up, with wounded hearts, yet becoming resig nation, to the infinite wisdom and good ness of its Author, we cannot but shed the j tear of sorrow over this mournful dispen sation.
