Railroad Hotel. —This house, at Social Circle, is the best eating hogse on tire Georgia Railroad. Mr. Spenc er, the energetic, gentlemanly proprie tor, is a nice man, and knows how to keep a good hotel. That is the place for a hungry man to stop if he wants a good square meal, of the best the mar ket affords. Mr. S., is going to a heavy expense to beautify his lot back of his .house, as well as to prepare luxuries for hie- guests, by building several beautiful fish ponds, planting trees, &c. He is going to have a beautiful, as well as comfortable place to spend the summer.—Eeporterjb Old Carolina' Bitters. —A few weeks ago the Rev. L. A.

He is said to have repeated these experiment on an unhappy reptile for the last fif teen years. He thinks the same"pro cess may be successful in regard to hu man beings, and the Government is to give him a condemned criminal, whom he will put asleep for two years. When the man is finally waken up, he will be pardoned. Furthermore the Professor has been led to|believe that'some of the Egyptian mummies arc only sleepers,, tlieir naps having deen prolonged by the loss cf the secret-of their preserva tion.—Exchange. Nonsense! Our Paper.—We send a copy of this issue to many whose names have not been handed in as subscribers, with the hope that they will be pleased with the Witness and subscribe.

When nature would put her brand, her mark of trans gression upon those who violate her laws, that Cain-like, wherever the trans gressor wandered, even the stranger might read the decree of the high court against the victim, nature's treacherous servant exercises his delegated pow er to make her decision appear revers ed. The herald of the Cross, whose high mission should lead him to the sacred precincts of calvary, may be found-in his mitred robes, reveling in \seduc tion’s hall; or in broad daylight, giv ing his sanction to gross imiivoralify, and sealing with the authority of priestly office, unholy and adulterous alliances. The blush of the modest maiden has been supplanted by the hold effrontery of the harlot; and the sanctity of the marriage bed has been sacrificed as an offering to appease the flame of carnal sensuality. The merchant, who a few years ago was scrupulous to see that his weights and measures were correct, and his wares were genuine, now is accounted successful as he can best deceive the unwary customer. The mail of short finances, who, to-ihe-day appointed, was strict to bal ance his account, now first delays, then evades, then denies, and finally, under show of legality, defrauds his creditor to the amount of confidence reposed. The farmer, whose profession form erly was a badge of honor, and a secu rity to credit, is now as skilled in petty deceit as the clerk who has been schooled to forgery, and whose con science has been innured to perjury. The press, the mightiest of them all, the fourth estate of a realm, has made its powers subservient to corruption. Tt is no longer the utterance of free thought; hut its every type is the pur chased minion of ambitious party.— Obscenity is the chosen retrrnit of its artists; vulgarity the spice ofrits col ! umns. Slander, the burden of its mes sage, and falsehood the nucleus of its disquistions. j The heart sickens at the scene of : the universal vassalage of man's high ll\*' v( % to tlgL vices of the times, w SOCIAL CIRCLE ITEMS.

Judge Ilutehins was for a number of years Judge of the Su perior Courts of the Western Circuit of this State, which position lie filled with ability and distinction; and was much loved by all who knew. him.

Let some one iheu.-h neighbor- ) hood take a list immediately and 7r<> round and ask every man t tibscribe. Raise all 3-011 can by subscription and report the same to “Witness office” and if it is not enough we will help to the extent of our ability. We will give Twenty cents on each subscriber at those places, towards paying for the mail. So now make a strong effort, and remember that every five cash subscribers for tlie “Witness” adds one dollar to the subscription for the Mail. In the aggregate you get five hundred subscribers to the Witness, we will give one hundred dollars towards suppty ing your mail.

[For tins Southern Witness.] Drunkenness. Drunkenness has been known, in some form, from the earliest history of man and exists in every known j eomit rjv It is one‘of the evils, tvhleoj ma!*-chooses to bring upon himself.; Authors and temperance lecturers have j assigned Some sup pose it to be the Ibyc? of cheerful com pany, distress of •miud^ian gUfspirits. —whilst that is brought bv iitmyging commencing wijgi the morning dram, "Soon the same before-dinner, again be fore supper—it is “good to keep a cool summer, nieeessarv, “to keep him warm in wiptejL”** Many arc the excuses, which canine found, after appetite foi strong drink lias once been formed, —soon fr<jm habit they find the stimulanlffiM'Ossan- before the usual business otj/axo day ‘can be at tended W. lhrWemesis, thoifgh lame still caches her victim,which makes us think the gods dflfeally, “Make scourges pleasant yie6s” Many circumstances may lead to a 1 man’s getting drunk once in his life, and for which he may be excused’ But drunkenness, as a habit, is closely al lied to «.infidelity—yet it is no loss! strange than true tlvit many men daily], drink intoxicating beverages, whofel names are upon the church books oft God upon earth. What,an x to the young, jjim an’l'i|jpTS of the land! J In common language, We say such at man is ‘as -drnnlrfcKVbrute.’ This isfi a strange abuse otjfciguagc, and false]] as to the brute tri%kiwho in this parV ticular is, and ever has been man's su-1 perior. I have rtever seen but outran-r . . . \ K'\ imal intoxicated, and he afterwards! disdained to touch the article (though f he was particularly fond of it,) in L which ho was so badly swindled. Man alone is capable of transgress ing every law, natural or divine, by boldy turning himself to lick up the dust of '* m | who becomes a drunkard erects a tem ple to vice, which superstructure rests on infidelity. A man a drunk-,| ard is not nc-ccssarily conSpellcd to g®£ down and wallow in the mire, but a 1 daily dram-drinker is that far a drunk- j ard. We are commanded to break no law, but he who worships in the tem ple of litifceliujs, built by his'own bauds can keep no law. Bacchus acknow ledges no worshippers who do not re- j nounee all other gods at least while in I his presence. Besides, no man can ] worship two masters—he will love one and hate the other—and it is especial ly true with those that would give their all for a drink. This is the most unhallowed ground upon which man can walk, and the Deity marks every step through it with vice in all its most heinous forms so that this crime is seldom found alone. Instead of drunkenness being j a cloak or excuse tor committing a crime, it is tiie cause, therefore a dou ble offense. The man who daily drinks his dram to the extent of feeling its effects, is not so clear-in judgment nor so bright in his intellwt as fae our that touches not “when it gives its color to the cup.” % * That form of drinking known as'tak : ing a “spree” or on a “bender” is said jiby well-informed medicine men to be tli'e most dangerous mode of drink i ing. But I forbear—it belongs to man's most sacred calling to point out and warn of its heinous consequences in this world, and more especially in that to come. To punish the offender for crimes committed whilst under its in fluence, belongs to the civil law. It is a prevalent opinion that per sons once in this habit cannot leave it off without danger. This is a grave and mistaken error, and let no man, surrounded by weeping and most like ly' needy dependants, weeping over his folly, console himself with the notion that however much he may repent having formed such a habit, that ho ho longer has tire power to retract, to quit without injury, lie should, and may safely quit, or else woe be to the wretch who, despite every endearing entreaty and caressing invitation to the contrary, he continues to sink low er and lower, his “sprees” become more frequent until he becomes the torment of liia family and friends—the indig nant scorn of the stranger—the cruci fier of lus own body—his conscience and every faculty of the mind seared as with a hot iron. Nor stops the de vouring foe until he has destroyed*nl! moral faculties and leaves the filthy body goaded with resolves. But for titude lias fled never to return to re turn. I saw recently the statistics of drinking in the United States, and it claims that 25,000 of tfte brightest and stoutest men annually fall victims. Its ranlcs are recruited from the young men just' branching out upon the world. Let it not be said I color the picture too highly'. If you, reader, 1-feel in reading, as I do in writing, y'ou would agree with me, that were it pos sible to banish drunkenness from the world it is worthy martyrdom at the stake. If it is not impioffe. then* to speak, what praise, wliat glory would fojjknv would mus did stake to save such a host of sinners? But thou, Mightiest, such is not thy righteous providence, thou hast infus ed light into each one by which lie shall walk in the light of day', but stumble in the gloomy' shades of night and answer at the mighty' day each one for the deeds done in the dark hours of conscience. Let .every one to choose course, burnish bright tj}es?s®3Cience—like the brass, it rustetltand -passetli away. Blit the stendyxiiractice of^mprance and vir tue shall this faculty of the mind brass, myc dura ble than antT when "fine' bells of death shall ring in the ears—its mes senger at thj| bursting heart, This light shall rfoffbc extinguished.

For many years before his death, his fortune was ample and it was on ly his fondness for the old harness, in which he had worked so courageously and success fully, that, caused him to toil on the behcii, or appear at the bar. lie was appointed Judge of the Western ' Circuit by Gov. Johnson, in the year 1357,t0 fill a vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Judge Jackson. The wisdom of the selec tion was soon manifested in the vigorous administration of the duties of his oftiee. Subsequently, lie was twice elected by the people to the same position, and was onee | appointed by' Gov. Brown,’ with the ad vice and con-entof the senate, lie was on the bench during the halcyon day's preced ing the revolution, during Hie stormy' times of the South’s death-struggle for liberty, during the first vears of her bitter biuuilm tion and drstrsW. No more to re strain the lawless, to promt the helpless aiul to encourage the patriotic.

Afflicted with forebodings cf evil to betide the future of state, and warn ed by increasing feebleness, to seek repose ; he has held aloof from the politics of the day. ! The distinguishing characteristic of J udge Hutchins' mind, was sound common sense. ; This was clear, discriminating, profound, i His memory was singularly retentive and accurate. On the bench, he was distin guished for executive ability' and decision. Ho judge was more prompt to decide, or more skill ful in giving reasons for his decis ion, or more tenacious of the decision when i ' made Indeed, if he had a fault as judge, it j was impatience of argument after lie was ready to anoirticelifcfdecision-. To clear the docket of his courts, lie, worked early and late. Members of Grand Juries, Sherrills, 1 Clerks and others will remember calling ' upon him at night in liis room, finding him , too feeble to sit up, but stretched upon a pal let, deciding intricate eases, or granting or ders, which did not require juries, to save the time of the country. He was never 1 known to spare labor ill- the discharge of professional or official duties. The highest praise that can lie awarded . to any man, is to say of him after death,that ! His virtues alone am remcuib erod. This 1 may be spoken of Judge Hutchins. If he had faults, a gratfhl people, deeply indebted to him, will never-speak of them, but will cherish with pride and affection the memo ry of his many virtues, and of his gi-eafincss in private life, at the bar and on tne bench. f RW At the Drug-Store may lie . j found all kinds of Fresh Garden .Seeds.
