The days, weeks and j months of which it was composed, have slowly roll ed away and sank into the relentless waves of the past. The events which marked its course, the plea sures and troubles which it brought, have passed, and no vestige of their existence remains. Nature has passed through the mysterious changes of the seasons, and again presents herself in the sombre vestments of winter, affording the eye no evidence that another Year has passed. The forests appear as bare, tho fields as drear as they have. looked at the. closo of all other years. Other years have brought the same nipping frosts, to strip the trees of their Summer verdure; tho same wintry winds to howl in mournful cadences among their leafless branches, tho same skies veiled in mantles of sable clouds.— Upon the tablets of memory alone has it left its inef faceable impress, and there alone can wo appeal for tho assurance of the lapse of time. There, 1855 will live forever. True, wo can name no extraordinary events which will render it memorable in individual history. Mankind have steadily pursued their rounds on the treadmill of life; Pleasure has had its enjoy ments, and Fashion its forms, and amid this universal excitement, individual experience has been lost.— But each one can for himself recall some thrill of joy, or :-tomo pang of sorrow, which has left an impression on the mind which will never bo removed. Fondest hopes have be-sfc blighted, the most cherished antic ipations disappointed, and Grief has “pressed the life from out youu; hearts.” Many who hailed the year’s dawn in all tho eagerness of excited hopes, now rest in tho quiet of'tho grave. The ravages of disease, tho storm on tho ocean, tho shock of tho earthquake, fire and sword hav e swept away thousands from tho sac-a 0 the earth, and consigned them to their final j abode. The world knew not thc-ir names, lives and fortunes, and mourned not for their deaths. But all these events have left their impression on the indi- j vidual heart, and made the past year memorable us j the era of its affliction, Tho year just ended, has brought to pass events in j our country which will render it long to bo remcm* j bered. During that time, political excitement reach-! cd a height seldom equaled, and never surpassed.— | From one extremity of our land to tho other, the j wiki fury of Party Hpirlt raged unrestrained, Tho 1 ambitious demagogue, burning with pretended aval I for hifi country’s welfare, ranged to and fro. making 1 spec-chea,” and practicing the wiles of polit j ■1 intrigue. But this, though “full of sound and j a “ signifies nothing. All has past, leaving noef* | 18 an memorials of its existence. Hor has tho past year been wanting in events of! Mcient interest, to mark it in the world's history, i Bnkind have moved on deadly in the march of i HFproveAent; discoveries have been made in art i nod science, and civilization has rapidly advanced. I Yfar, too, has signalized it above other years. The j Eastern war, with its dreadful sufferings and horrible j conflicts, will long serve to render this year memo- j rrtble in the annals of the world. The tablet of memory w ill long retain tho Irapres-1 .-.ion- which this year has made on its surface; but j it cannot bring back one event, recall one misspentj hour, revive ft single experience. While then we ; dwell with melancholy pleasure on its joys, while wo j strive to f rget its sorrows, wo should glean from its i experiences rich* lessons for tho future; lessons of j wisdom, patience, and prudence, which will make us | wiser and betior for-long years to come. * j The Ngw Ye*?. The rolling course of Time has brought ns to the beginning of another year. The festivities which marked the close of tho departing year have ended, and all classes have again resumed their labors and cares, with renewed energies. Everything wears an appearance of liveliness and animation, as if to har monize wish the season. The bustle and confusion attendant upon the many changes which are made, render it a period of unusual activity. To multi tudes, it is indeed a New Tear. They have entered upon new vocations, are surrounded by new circum stances, and must form new associations. Hope ; sheds on them her benignant rays, and pencils bright pictures of success and happiness for their future.— Animated by prophet voice, they joyfully press on to the discharge of their several duties. Even those who move on in the same old course, without change catch the inspiration of sympathetic go to their daily toils. Far be tiuxtteinpt. by any sage reflections, to cool i the ardor of this universal zeal. We would rather encourage and promote it. Wo would that through out the voar, all may have those incentives to action which now animate them. Earnestly wishing that their fondest hopes may bo realized, their brightest dreams prove true, sso bid each of onr readers a hap py Now Year. * Mill Burnt. Mills belonging to Mr. Jesse Vcazcy, Hkferro county, were entirely destroyed by fire of the 17th ult. At the time, they were B't extensive repairs under the superiutend- Wt W. Reid, of Greenesboro. The circum- Ki.h< rase leave no doubt of it** having been hr, incendiary, but no clue, whereby he has a* yet bean discevsred. * Extras. \\ q Bend out a number of Extra copies of our pre sent Gsue to persons not regular subscribers, hoping that they may be induced, by our enlarged and im proved appearance, to subscribe. Our Paper now affords a larger amount of reading matter than any in the South, for the same price, and wo are deter mined to spare no labor in our efforts to make it worthy of public patronage. We hope a large num ber cl our friends will give us their names, their in fluence and encouragement. ~ Newspaper Laws. W t> request each of our Subscribers to road care fully the standing Notices, to be found in the first col umn on our first page, viz: Rates of Advertising, Legal Advertisements, Legal Requirements, and more particularly the Law es Newspapers. We have been “art back” more than once, by hearing j subscribers complaining that their paper did not stop when their aultacription ran ovit. We further request j persons ordering their papers discontinued, to giro ! such orders at the time, or as near to it as possible, ! when their subscription expires. Stop Papers.--Settle Arrearages. Persons ordering (heir papers discontinued, most \ invariably pay up all thoir dues. We shall not strike [ off anr subscriber’s name who is in arrears. ! 1 —— To the Students—At Home, We would request the Students of onr College, while they are circulating and perambulating throughout various portions of the conr.try during their vacation, to remember us in their travels.— Mako a few stump speeches in our behalf, and circu late onr new sheet with prodigal hands throughout all those portions of country which you may visit. \ We take the privilege of appointing each one as ; an Agent daring the vacation. To our Contributors, Several valuable communications have been una voidably crowded out of the present issue. They will appear at the earliest day possible. Our friends will pleaeo remember that “brev-tv is the soul r>; wit.” In our fast age, communications must be short if they are intended to be read. * - ——- Reply to Student By special request we publish, in this issue, a re ply to the article of “Student,” which appeared in our last Banner. Death of Mr. G. P. Niekslsan. It is with deep regret that we announce tho death of our highly esteemed and worthy citizen, uncle George P. Nickelson. lie died in Greenesboro on New Year’s morning, at Mr. Wilson’s Hotel. Isis death is rendered more lamentable from tho fact that no ono saw him expire. He was found dead lying in his bed, and no ono could tell how long since dis solution had taken place. It is sap posed that he died in a fit G. J. H. Prior. We have heard with sorrow of the death of the j above named gentleman, a few weeks since, at his j residence in Morgan county. He had been elected | Principal of tho Preparatory Department of onr Uni- j versity, for which position his attainments amply | qualified him. He was highly respected for his rr.or- \ a’ worth, and won tho love and esteem of all with ! whom ho associated. Wo much fear that, the Pru- i dentiai Committee will find difficulty in supplying j the vacancy occasioned by hk death. * ! Judge Cone’s “Liquor” Bill We take pleasure in publishing tho “Liquor'’ Bill; which Judge C-one has lately introduced in our Leg- j islature, to which me invito the attention of readers, j in another column. It does not aim at an entire ’ prohibition of tho Liquor Traffic, nd of course fails i to come up fully to what we do ire. It is, howroe,! very good, so far eg it goes, and meets with our hear ty approval. It would doubtless, greatly diminish this horrid trade, nnd ameliorate the condition of so ciety to an incalculable extent. By it, far more than # moiety of tho miserable dramshops which disgrace our land would be put down. The shameful riots which attend our elections, and attach each lasting odium to oar country towns, would, to a great ex tent, bo avoided. We sincerely desire that tho Bill may pass; bnt wc much fear that many Legislator?, who hold their office by the franchise of drunken men, will not proto so unfaithful to their constitu ents as to give it thc-lr support. Wo aro happy io see a men of such high standing nnd eminent abili ties as Judge Cone, vigorously taking hold of this important- subject. * Town Commissioners. Messrs. W. B. Johnson, P. Robinson and L. L. An drews, were- elected the Board of Commissioners, in our village, on the 7th inst —. —-. CassYille College Burnt. We learn from the Index that the fine Male Col lege just upon evo of opening, in Cassville, was en tirely consumed by fire on the 4th inst, Loss esti mated at SIO,OOO. Dentistry. Notwithstanding pork is going at 8 cents, and wheat at $2 per bushel, we must have good teeth.— Nothing is so indispensable to pleasant breath, a fine appearance, a “clean” head, to rnanducating bread crust, and eroding beef's flesh, as a nice set of sound ivories; and wc would especially request those w hose teeth are becoming shackled, to call on Drs. Coe & Latimer, Wilson’s Hotel, Greenesboro, and they will put them in fine repair. We recommend this firm as high-toned gentlemen, and experienced hands in ail that pertains to their profession. See their advertisement in this paper. Grapes—Southern Banner. Our old friend, and cleverest of all human flesh, I)r. Frank Hill, of the Athens Banner, acknowl edges the receipt of some delectable California grapes, from a friend, and, after surmising that the fellow who, on one occasion, refused - grapes on the ground that he never likod. his wino in pills, would have made these an exception, and then speaking of, and encouraging, tho culture of grapes in the United States, he significantly inquires where is John Seals and tho Temperance Crusader ? We answer loudly and emphatically, Here, ejecting from our mouth tho saliva, (created by his grape ac ; count) at a knot hole in the floor. When you como 1 to eating grapes, you can put us down for “four | chances,” hut when you come to taking “wine’in | pills,” and rot gut from “egg shells,” tee aint in : , “Excuse me.” Where does friend Francis take his? ; perhaps from a private aperture in a “Holy Writ,” or from an amphora of “vanilla syrup,” found under : a soda fount slab. Will you alw aye have the “h — h Index. We welcome our old friend and Teacher, Rev. T. D. Martin, to the Editorial corps. His first appear ance is very creditable, indeed. He takes hold with the proper spirit, and from evidences so fnr manifest ed by him, wo feol warranted in saying, the Organ of the Baptist denomination will not suffer in big hands. . Madison Family Visitor. This staunch, facetious, and popular family jour nal comes to us this w eek accoutred in new and beautiful attire. Wo trust the improvement in ap pearance is indicative of progress, and heartily wish our old friend, Benj. G. IJddon, all the success im aginable. County Eleotions, On Monday, tho 7th inst., F,. L.

Its columns are filled with a number of original Articles on a great variety of topics. It is gotten up in a stylo of ele gance and taste, and reflects great credit on the j*oung Ladies by whom it is conducted. We would encourage them in their efforts, knowing that it must boa source of great improvement to them. Marietta Collegiate Magazine. The above is the title of a very handsome journal published by the Stu dents of Marietta College. Its columns aro filled with a number of original articles, both in prose and poetry, which are very readable. It is in ovory re spect very creditable so tho young men by whom it is conducted. Youth's Cabinet. The January Number of this Magazine presents quite a number of pleasing and at tracting topic? for the young folks. The Publishers have made Severn] improvement* in its appearance. Besides a fine portrait of the editor, it contains many other well executed illustration?. Geoffrey Moncton, or the faithless Guardian, by Mrs. Morbdhr. Dewitt A Pavonport, Publishers.— Those who have read tho former productions of this talented authoress, will find that she fully sustains her reputation in tho present work. It is an inter esting find instructing romance, getting forth in strong colors the evils of the social syßtem in Eng land. Tho plot is artful, and keeps curiosity con stantly awake, but would doubtless be more pleasing were it less complicated. Tho characters are nu merous, accurately drawn, ami well supported throughout the work. No reader of fiction can fail to dorive pleasure from tho perusal of this work.
