awoke him, presented him with his restora tive bottle, and carried him on his back to the convent. The boy was restored to his rejoicing parents. When age had diminished the strength of this sagacious animal, he was sent to Berne, in the hope that he might tranquilly end his usefully employed days. His old age was, by kind treatment, rendered as comfortable ns possible, and after his death, his body was carefully buried, and his skin stuffed to imitate nature; and thus he stands with an action resembling life, decorated with his collar and bottle, in the museum ol Berne. ®lfa* I MUST HASTEN HOME. I must hasten home, said a rosy child, Who gaily roamed for hours; I must hasten home to my mother dear— She will seek me amid the bowers; If she chides, I will seal her lips with a kiss, And offer her all my flowers. I must hasten home, said a beggar girl, As she carried the pitiful store Os crumbs and scraps of crusted bread She had gathered from door to door; I must hasten home to my m ther dear. She is feeble, and old, and poor! I must hasten honfe, said the ball-room belle. As day began to dawn; And the glittering jewels her dark hair decked Shone bright as the dews of morn; I’ll forsake the joys of this changing world Which leave in the heart but a thorn. . I must hasten home, said a dying youth, Who had vainly sought for fame— Who had vowed to win a laurel wreath, And immortalize his name; But, a stranger, he died on a foreign shore— All the hopes he had cherished were vain. . lam hastening home said an aged man, As he gazed on the grassy sod, Where oft, ere age had silvered his hairs, His feet had lightly trod; Farewell! farewell! to,this lovely earth 1 am hastening home to God !

It is a disease principally- confined to the gentler sex, and for this reason 1 propose to notice it in the Visitor, trusting that .should the welcome messenger find one so afflicted it may bear healing on its wings Though the diagnosis be somewhat difficult. I hope I shall be able to present the subject in such a light that even those who are ap proaching “the last stages” may look and be healed. I allude to the Broken Hearts. A young lady (jt never attacks one “of a certain age”) falls in love; weeks, months and years in sparkling stream widens and deepens and every day more obstinately re fuses to “run smoothe.” Passions-swollen, it rushes on regardless of every opposing barrier. Reason, duty, nor religion avail to check its increasing violence, ’till the foaming torrent clashes into an infinite abysm of hopeless disappoint ment. The fair girl pines in gloomy des pondency and refuses to be comforted be cause he is not. The last link is broken and in all the abandonment of her grief she cries . “like a lilly -That was onto mistress o i the field I’ii my nead and perish.” Sometimes they go off in the first acute paroysm, but usually the diseases assume a chronic character. How changed is the once lovely creature. Leprous grief has blanched the rosy cheek, the healthful buoy ant form has changed to an etherial lain shape, and the iev touch of sorrow has chilled the gushing tide of life. Sorrow preys upon its solitude, “she never tells her love, but lets concealment like a worm in the bud prey on her damask cheek.” Slowly and sadly she sinks info the grave and her Epitaph is “Died of a lingering ill ness.” There is no fancy sketch, but a reality too real. Where are we to look for a preventive ? In the nursery, r.ot the school room. It is a mistaken notion that education begins in the school room. If it be delayed till then, the sweetest buds in the tree of knowledge will never burst their envelope. ‘Patience’ is the first lesson, “he may learn it at the breast” and the habit of obedience and trust may be grafted on his mind in the cradle. The only true foundation for happiness and usefulness must be laid at home. ’Tis then the character must be formed and the im press of virtue and truth, be stamped on the yielding mind. Fashion in its excess—the hollow courtesies of life—the cob web lines of etiquette, constitute a poor nutrition for the youthful mind. But above all. true sen timents of morality should be early instilled in the expanding heart, as the only safe guard in the hour of temptation and solace in the gloom of sorrow. If the young lady sulfer.> her whole affections to be centred on an earthly idol, she has no resource in dis appointment. If all the best feelings of her heart are entwined around her lover, no wonder it is broken when he proves faith less—the fall ng oak carries with it the clinging ivy Mercenary considerations too often influence the parent, and the child torn from the object of its love is sacrificed on the altar of mammon. But by far the most fruitful cause of this disease is to be found in the trashy literature of the age. The thirsty mind drinks in streams of natn bypamby sentimentalism till it is drunken with misnamed love, an unholy desecration of the purest of Heaven’s gifts to man.— Thence is the progression downward—the spell of the charmer is on her —reason is up in fancy, “in a fine frenzy rolling,” and the light of true wisdom eclip- by the tinsel web of imagination. Un nofeed are the real objects of charity a rouid her, she sees only bright images re flects by the Kaleidoscope of phantasy. But sWi her sweet dream is broken—the rainboV tints have vanished—ihe tempting apple wttn and dust and ashes is her por tion. away with life to a suicide’s grave. \ may be said her heart was bro ken. but has broken it herself. Tell me not, that s\ cannot help it, that, the mind cannot iea\ | C ould as easily disbelieve the immortaky of the soul. There is a doctrine t&Ufr hv amrte. thflt frail nninra ia too weak to bear up under an incubus of sorrow; that the over charged heart con veys its consuming fluid throughout the physical frame, and the patient dies, under the fires of unrequited love. What is there in such a sentiment, consonant with the no blest feelings of our nature ? Where the deep impulses and lofty aspirations that should teach us to toil on and yet hope ? Where the patient resignation and holy confidence in God, that in every misfortune meekly replies— “ Thy will be done.” Oh! ’tis an awful crime to love the creature and forgetthe Creator;* a frightful risk to sus pend our existence by a rope of sand; rather than the indissoluble chain that links the soul to Heaven. What a fearful prostitu tion of our talent to squander all on one fa vored object ? But even though the mind may be paralized by a sudden shock, has it no recuperative energy ? No reaction from a rude contact ? Then are the sophists of antiquity and physiologists of modern times sadly at fault in reference to the capacities of the human mind. As truly as the victim of mania a potu, the victim of mania a more, by unre strained indulgence. brings death upon her self. J. A. D. Marion, Tenn. AUTO BIOGRAPHY OF A WILD ROSE. BY ESTELLE. 1 first blossomed on a sunny knoll, where fair sisters stood around in delicate, beauty and daises and blue-eyed violets peeped out from beneath the long grass—they tossed their heads merrily and fairly danced in glee, as the southern wind whispered all day long. his tale of love into their listening ears in low sweet murmurs, like the dying ca dence of some faint sad melody. The green leafy boughs rustled pleasantly above our heads—we bathed our laces in the sparkling stream as it hurried on singing a bubbling lullaby, and we were happy in our fairy home. The wild birds warbled their hymns of praise in clear silvery chimes, and in the quiet night, when the god of day had with drawn his beams and they were hushed to rest, then the bright stars came forth and looked down on us with their own beautiful smiles I—the night winds came sweeping on healing our parched petals with their sooth ing kisses, hud we caught the tears of the sad and silent night and held them lovingly on our bosoms where they shone like the purest pearls, when the sun arose and flood ed hill and dale with his rosy light. By and by there carne a maiden among us with light step and merry gushing laughter--—at first we gazed spell-bound upon her lovely fea tures iind thought her an angel from-hea ven, she was so beautiful 1 Her voice was sweeter than the sighing of the evening ze phyr, and smiles ever dwelt upon her coun tenance like the sunshine on the rippling stiearn! Every eve we waited impatient ly; we scattered fragrant petals over her pathway and greeted her coming with a cloud of incense : and she too seemed to love us, for here and there she would pick a violet or a butter-cup, or press her rosy face down close to ours. One day there came a noble youth with her—his form was tall and erect —his brow broad and high and bis dark flashing eyes were lit up with hope and love ns he gazed down on the sylph-like be ing at iiis side. He poured out his soul in love for her, and while he spoke in a low musical voice her face was radiant with joy. One eve they lingered late, till the stars winked their bright eyes knowingly at us and the light faded from hill and vale.— At length he stooped down and plucked me from mv bed of pale green moss and twined me in her golden ringlets. I cast a farewell gaze ai my companions as the lovers depar ted. We entered the little wicket gate where they bade a loving good-night and the maiden tripped lightly into the cottage. She pressed me to her ruby lips, then smi ling placed me carefully in a vase of fresh water. The next eve the old walls were decked up with wreaths of woodbine and honeysuckle. They placed me in a garland with some of my sisters from the deli and laid It gently on her brow. Then came the holy man of God and they pronounced the sacred vows that united them forever. She looker! too pure for earth standing there in her spotless robes of white, her azure eyes beaming with love and joy, while the noble being at her side, gazed proudly down on his beloved. I sighed not for my woodland home, never dreaming of sorrow. But alas! I have not done ! Ere another eve had la ded into the mystic past, a wail of anguish went out from the hearts of those that loved her! The angel maiden lay drooping, dy ing, like her bridal wreath ! In vain her husband bent, in heart-rending agony over his beauteous bride 1 the summer zephyrs gently lifted the silken curls from her lilv brow, and scattered pale rose leaves there; but in vain ! —her spirit had fled from earth to its purer home above, and all was still 1 They laid her on a sable bier, and sprink led flowers on her pillow, and once more 1 lay carelessly amid her shining hair.

Text : ‘‘Let wuihen adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shainfet'aeedncss and sobriety; not with broidered hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array, but with good works.”— St. Paul. . The buxum, bright-eyed, rosy-cheeked, full breasted, bouncing lass, who can darn a stocking, mend trowsers, make her own trucks, command a regiment of pots and kettles, feed the poultry, chop wood, milk cows, wrestle with the boys, and be a lady withal in company, is just tiie sort for me, or any other worthy man to marry. But you, ye pining, mopping, lolling, screwed up, wasp waisted, putty-faced, consump tion-mortgaged, music-murdering, novel devouring daughters of fashion and idle ness; you are no more fit for matrimony than a pullet is to look after a family of fourteen chickens. The truth is, my dear girls, you want generally speaking, more ilotrty, and less fashionable restraint; more kitchen and le1& b g ertion and less sofa ; more pudding* ami less-piano; more frankness and less mock modesty; more breakfast and less bustle. Loosfn yourselves a little; enjoy more lib erty; die not restrained by fashion; breathe the pure atmosphere of freedom, and be comevomething as beautiful as the (de l ol nature designed you should be. MRS. BAAYTON’S PASTY. “Dear me, William, I wish we could have just one party this season, if no more,” said Mrs. Ray to her husband, one evening after he had returned from the fatiguing labors of business : “Mrs. Bray ton has another party next, week ; tmd only think, its her third one this season.” “Wefl, rny dear,” replied Mr. Ray. “the question to be considered is, whether we can conveniently spare the money fora par ty. \ou know the expense of one got up in good style is very considerable.” “I am aware of that,” said Mrs. Ray, “but if Mr. Bray ton can afford three par ties in one season, why cannot you afford one ! Surely, your income is not so much less than his.” “No,” was the reply, -but there’s the mys tery ; for, from my knowledge of Mr. Bray ton’s income and expenses, I am convinced that he cannot well affo>d even one party this season, much less three, which it seems he will have had when the next comes off.” “Weil, I should think you might gratify me once,” said Mrs. Ray, bursting into tears, (these were her most potent persuasives.) ‘ l think it’s a shame. There, now, 1 have said it. I think it’s shameful treat memos a devoted wife like me.” “Mary.” returned her husband seriously, ‘*i( I, as I atn at present situated, were to grat ify your wishes and incur the extra expense of a large party, 1 am positive that 1 should have to fail soon, and close up my business; and how Mr. Brayton can keep on in the way he lives without, going by the board, is more than I can account for.” “1 don’t care ; you are too close in your calculations and too fearful of mishaps,” re plied his wife, her tears breaking forth afresh. “For my part 1 feel almost discour aged with trying to be like other folks. 1 think that a husband who will not indulge his wife sometimes in her most cherished and ardent wishes, is guilty of meanness.” “I am very sorry, my dear wife, to have you think thus ©fine,” was Mr. Ray’s reply, “but I think I can yet find means of con vincing you that my ideas are correct as to the propriety and necessity of my present course, and as to the danger of Mr. Brayton’s method of proceeding. Until then, l fear you will continue to think ill of me.” Mrs. Bravton’s party came of in superb style, and in just two weeks from the day on which it took place, Mr. Ray handed his wife a paper containing the following.an nouncement ; “Fm lure. — We understand that <>ne of our heaviest merchants, Mr. U; S. Brayton, failed yesterday. His liabilities are said to be very great. He has left town for parts unknown, taking with him what ready mon ey he could command. Wc wish to avoid being uncharitable in our remarks, but from what we have seen we are compelled to come to the conclusion that nearly all ofour late failures have been caused, directly or indirectly, by extravagance on the part ol the merchants and their families, not except ing that of Mr. Brayton.” Mrs. Ray read the above, every word of it, and probably understood it, for she said no more to her husband about parties that year.

My Dear Brother Jones: —l see by the Ci usader, you have been to Jelferson coun ty lately, at the request of the Baldwin Rai ford Division. lam glad to hear you are able and willing to labor in the goo*d cause, xou have been long in the harness, and hope you may e spared much longer, and your labors abundantly blessed. Some of your friends are very desirous to see and hear you here; we are in a cold state, our people are unstaide. We go more for excitement and influence, than principle! And what shall yve do’ Give up the contest? Idly wait for a revival? Or shall we redouble our diligence, buckle our armor on, and de fy the hosts of aliens ! lam for the battle We are able to go up and possess the <r no d land in spite ol Giants and the sons of Anac! The people of Georgia ought to have fought the battle on Flournoys’ petition--and on alboccasions since the people were ready, but their leaders were weak and faint hear ted ! Two years ago we were to all. ap pearance far before our South Carolina brethren ! Now they out-strip us very far. Their Grand Division, which met at Ben net tsville. had a large collection of repre sentatives. Gen. S. F. Gary was there, and made quite an impression. He went to Charleston and spoke several times. The Mercury (not a Temperance paper) says, (the editor.) Gen. Carv, the Temperance Lecturer, has been here; made several speeches; we never heard him until last night in the Hibernian Hall, which was crowded to overflowing. He held the au dience ii perfect silence for two hours—at die close asked how many present would join tlie Sons, and over two hundred names were immediately given in. Would that he could make such an impression in Savan nah. Macon, Columbus,*'and other cities of Georgia. But our Temperance men are not Aaron and Iler’s. All full of very good resolutions, but never put them in practice. Our leaders are too timid or too vas cillating, if the people could be got to speak out, a very different influence would be felt.. Let us try before the meeting of the Convention, to get up local district or county meetings, have delegates appointed to go to the Convention, which meets in Atlanta on the 4th Wednesday in July— take a large delegation camp there, as we ou! when you and me first met, My dear brother, we must have an efficient organi zation—there is no bond of union in the Convention, I consider it militia. I have tried the Rechabites, the Nazarites, the Knights of Jericho, the Sons of Temper ance. 1 think myself somewhat posted up on the subject, and if the Sons cannot do the work we must get. something better than Alliances or Leagues, on these organizations. I he sons have gone down for want of work, apathy killed them, those who had enlisted in excitement and pleasure as soon us the novelty was over, they considered the work done !

We appeal to all those who take a heartfelt inter est in the subject of Temperance, to begin to bestir themselves in regard to sending a delegation to the Animal Meeting in Atlanta, on the 4th Wednesday in Jul next. It is incumbent upon the leading Temperance men in each eountv to excite the mat ter, and we do beg of them to see to it in time.— We must have a large attendance. The battle is to be fought again, and we must begin to muster our troops, and get more enlistments. Let the leading o-en in each county who have the subject at heart, agitate a meeting of all favorable to the cause, and have delegates appointed to Atlanta. We trust a word is sufficient to arouse you in this matter. Greenesboro Commencement, The week of bustle, confusion, dust-choking, and fantaslics, in theyoung city of Greenesboro has pass ed. It was truly a lively and interesting time, there having been a large number of visbors in attendance, much larger than ever belbre. Trie Examinations were conducted on Monday, Tuesday and Wednes day, all of which vve were informed gave complete satisfaction. We were denied the privilege of hear ing the Classes examined, but our acquaintance with the discipline and thorough course of instruction through which a young lady passes in this Institu tion, warrants us in saving that the knowledge she has acquired of her text Books, at the end of a term of study, is as thorough and extensive as at any fe male seat of learning in the Southern country. We were present on Thursday morning at the Com mencement Day Exercises, and we do not know that we were ever more agreeably entertained on a sim ilar occasion. The Exercises were introduced with prayer by Rev. J. W. Ileid, of Philomath, after which seve al of the young Ladies sang a beautiful chorus, accompanied by Prof, Lenncau on the Piano Forte. Pres. Axson then proceeded to l ead in a clear, dis tinct and most happy style, the Compositions of the Graduating Class; of which the following is a pro gramme : Miss Lizzie Fleming, Education. A-vna C. Randolph Earth's Benefactors. u Louisa E. Castles Home Influence. A. E. Blvtue, Pcncer o f Kindness. “ Virginia C. Duncan, Hope. Louisa N. V\ led, Obligations of a Coun try to her Warriors, Statesmen, and Philosophers. In each of these Compositions there was a visible, chaste and dignified tenor, and a breathing of moral eloquence indicating a high degree of intellectual culture. In some of them there was a touching pa thos ahi eh stirred deep feelings in the bosoms of many auditors. Though we condemn the practice cl singling one for a notice to the neglect of others, vet me must mention Miss Virginia C. Duncan’s < Composition as one which seemed to be the native OHtgushings of a heart not unacquainted with the af flicting dispensations of Providence. She painted in beautiful colors the influences and consolations of “Hope” in this world, and then portrayed the Christian’s hope of better and purer inheritance than belongs to earth. It was the balir of gilead upon the wounded spirit. “Joy of the desolate, light of the straying, Hope, when all others die, fadeless and pure, Here speaks the comforter in God’s name, say> ? Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot cu The Compositions were all good. After the m.. ing of them, the Rev. Dr. Hoyt, of Athens, a • her of the Board of Trustees, made some remarks j relative to the financial condition of the College. His remarks were made in a pleasant mood, and were -well received; we trust they maj go great lengths in stirring up tho delinquent patrons of the Institution. Rev. Mr; Jones, of Liberty county, who had been chosen to deliver the Oration, then proceeded to the execution of the task. His theme was, “the influ ence of the Bible upon mankind.” lie dwelt large ly uppails influence on man as a social being, showing that it was the basis of the moral code which has been established to regulate and govern man as a social and religious being, and that the Bible is the ag nt by which rnan is elevated above the brute cre ation. In establishing these propositions he cited countries where the light of the Book of God is not permitted to shine, showing that the moral condition of them was far. short of that which should charac terize human beings as rational creatures. The Bi ble led to a strict observance of marriage obligations.* In proof of this'lle referred totho-e people who have tried to live without it. Among them all was con fusion and anarchy; horrid passions reigned with un limited rule—parental authority was set at naught, and marriage contracts were violated ad libitum. lie then descanted upon live influence of the Bi ble in elevating the female sex. We must forbear giving a more lengthy synopsis of the speech. It was throughout a fine production and he made a happy ppplication of it to the circumstances attending the occasion of its delivery. Prof. Axson then proceeded to deliver to the mem ber? of the Graduating Class, their diplomas, accom panying them with a parting address, which we pro nounced the most chaste, timely and elegant of any thing after the order we ever heard. It produced a deep impression upon the entire congregation. He is indeed an accomplished man, and under his ad ministration the Greenesboro College must acquire great caste both at home and abroad. U night the Concert, under the direction of Prof. Leurnau came off, which attracted the largest and most brilliant audience we have witnessed for a long time. It was a general remark, that so large a nutn- Wr of handsome ladies could not be gotten together in any portion of Georgia. The programme con tained a large assortment of select music, comprising pieces from Mozart, Rosini, Beethoven, Hullah, War ; melink and other distinguished authors in the musi j cal world. There was to some extent a want of a- J daptation in the music to the audience, which is a j tailing in all our College Concerts. The crowd was | so dense that there was no seating them, and there ! was necessarily great confusion, and it was impossi j ble to enjoy the scientific selections which were be i ing discoursed. We regretted very seriously that 1 there had to be such confusion mixed, in horrid dis cord with the performances. We trust this Institution of female training may Houri h prodigiously, and become a great Mecca of learning for the rising female generation of our coun try. Soda Fount—Greenesboro. The carrot-nosed Paddy may sing, “Och, an its the liberties of this blissed counthry that we love,” as he turns up his bottle of “split-head.” The cor pulent Dutchman may wheeze, “I loves de liberties f dish coonthry so mooch, cos dc peoblc (loos nk so mooch goot viskey,” as he stirs his mug of \ Or the frog-eating Frenchman may chime >y gar sir, I loves de American peoples cause . have so much liberty to sell de brandy and de wine, and de whiskey,” as he stands behind his bar rinsing his glasses and bottles ; but give me the lib erty of taking a cool bubbling draught at friend Wal ter Griffin’s Soda Fount.

We publish this week in our columns of selected matter, an article showing the absurdity of drinking healths. Not less absurd is the hypocritical excuse some men have of drinking for their health. There are very few really delicate or sickly persons who find it necessary to drink for their health. They are mostly those whose rudely laces and robust frames give a direct lie to the assertions of ill health. Were not the subject of too serious a nature to admit ofjesting, it would be really amusing to notice the theories which they advance with respect to the medical properties of liquor. They seem to think it a catholieon, destructive of every disease to which flesh is heir. Diseases, the most opposite in their nature yield to its power. In Summer they take it to make them cooi, in winter to make them warm. Ah, how many have drank for their health, until they become the victims of a disease more dreadful than fever’s wildest ravings or “consumptions ghast ly form.” They drank for their health , until they died a drunkard’s death, filled a drunkard’s grave, and found an eternal abode in a drunkard’s hell. “Catch lion’s cubs and play with them for kittens. Dig pit-falls and say they are resting places. Raise whirlwinds and call them music, earthquakes and say they are but dances. But do not drink poison and (‘all it drinking health.” * “Consistency, Thou art a Jewel.” | No one will regret, it is hoped, that “Retrospect,” of last week, and “Memento” in the present number of the Index, has so gently chided those whose “su perfluity of naughtiness” at the last, and some other Conventions, proved such an annoyance to some who sat by them in the house, and also to those by whom the house was so kindly tendered. If Providence spares our life, we intend to furnish whoever may have the Index in charge with the piece of “Memen to,” and so much of that of “Retrospect,” before our next Convention in Augusta, as refers to that great impropriety which too oflten prevails of defiling Cod’s Sanctuary with puddles of tobacco. Brethren, \ ou won’t do so any more, will you ? Certainly our good friend of the “Index” docs not reyret that the chiding was a “ gentle ” one. If ho is about to turn against Tobacco, and like the Royal James, give it a counterblast from his pen, we shall know not what to look for next. We havo long re gretted that he should indulge to an inordinate ex tent in such an unmitmterial practice ; but the a bove remarks, which manifest a spirit of utter cou j ue inuation for the “superfluity of naughtiness” give ■is reason to hope for a radical Ye form. We serious ■ fear however, that he adopts the language of the ouplet, now the right and I approve it too, .idemn the wrong, and yet that wrong pursue.” . tie visits of the Editor of the “Index” to our Sanctum are always welcome. But then ho always leaves his Tobacco behind him—on our floor. * SfcfcT’ We invite special attention in this issue to the advertisement of E. J. Green, intended for Teachers. Gen. S. F. Cary. This able and devoted advocate of Temperance has been Lecturing for some time past in South Car olina, with the most marked success. Wherever } u has been, he has inspired tho friends of the cause with new hopes, aroused i hem n action, „nfl s ,. li{ terror to the hosts of the enemy. Sublime as i> i}, ( . theme which forms the whV lou den of his son- it acquires an increased sublincty from Ids masterly efforts. With a son’, k- ordy alive do the woes and sufferings of his fellow men, a Drill** imagination and the highest power.- of -argument, he is f„]j v prepared to stir the deepest feelings of the human heart. All who have beard hirn, have been com pellcd to acknowledge his power. Even the political H Press, which in respect to Temperance, is ever ready to raise the cry, “can any good come out of Naza reth ?” have been compelled to yield him merited 1 tributes of praise for his entrancing eloquence, and clear logical skill. W e clip the following notice of him from the “Rising Sun,” of Newbury, S. C. Wo have seldom had the good fortune to listen to as intelloctufd, eloquent and interesting a lecturers* Gen. C try On Thursday night he held his audience wrapt in delight over two hours. The lecture was mote argumentative than any we have ever heard, in fact it was a series of lucid arguments ami happy illustrations. Ilis denunciations of the liquor deal er were withering. 1.1 is descriptions of the miseries physical and mental of the drunkard, were pathetic then terrible. He persuaded many that the best use for a whiskey cask was to knock both ends out and make a telescope of it. IBs argument on Friday on the constitutionality of the prohibitory law was clear, plain, and enforced with great power. But we object to one thing. L annoys us exceedingly for any stranger to come into our town and advance arguments that we canuot answer. This man has done it. We have tried to an swer them to our own satisfaction—we failed. We wish it done. If any person about town or else where can do it, he will lay us under obligations by furnishing us with the reply V we will publish it. We invite any one that can do it, to enter the lists. Our columns are open tot >em. Were it not for the shameful lethargy of the friends* of Temperance in our State, we too might have a chain pi n in the field, who could successfully set his lance at rest against every foe. We inigut secure the servic sos a Lecturer who has been alrea dy tried, who 3 ieffls a precedence to none, in love for the cause or devotion to its interests. For it sake, he entered the arena of strife, amid all the fui v of a political contest, and fur six months, toiled un ceasingly for humauit3* and truth. And now he G ready and willing to go forth again, to leave the fond endearments of home, and for a compensation, which would barely cover his expenses, canvass the length and breadth of the land, pleading that cause which he has once so cdoquently plead, in view of an ex ample of such hci.de, such martyr-like devotion, how can the Temperance men of Georgia, manifest sue) an apathy or lukewarmness for the causer Whc. are the Six Thousand, who amid the scoffs and de rision of their fellow-men, and the strenuous oppo sition of unscrupulous demagogues, dared to vote us their consciences dictated ? Can they not speak and act in the present emergency ? We ask of you no great or costly sacrifice. We wish to see that spirit of zealous devotion which you once manifested, and which made you reckon any sacrifice as but small, if it did but accomplish its object. A small sum from each of you, a very small one, would enable 3-ou t put into the field a Lecturer, who we candidly be lieve, would make an entire change in our prospects. He would move over this valley of dried, bleaching hones, and with a prophet touch arouse them to ac tivity and action. His warm, fervent, glowing el# queue*- would stir into a flame the latent tires of en thusiasm, and Temperance men would see anew light dawn upon their cause. When all the auspi ces are so favorable, why do tvc everywhere see this want of interest, this unfeeling indifference ? If this state of things continues, we may as well give up all hope. Long periods of indifference, with a fitful effort now and then, can never give us a triumph over the Rum power in Georgia. We want labor, patience, zeal, and those exercised continually, with out ceasing. Action alone, constitutes the glowing cross, which proclaims to us the prophetic words of encouragement, “i?y this conquer.” * “Remember Sumner.” In the kennels of black Republicanism, the howl has commenced, and we shall never hear the last of it. Simmer’s broken temples will he carved upon parian marble, and his blood-stained shirt will be hung up in the archives, or laid away in an alabas trite for luture generations to look upon an gnash their teeth in rage} and around the bleeding statue those biack-hearted cohorts will assemble in multi tudes ami life a yell of agonizing worship to their martyred Saint, i hoy have long since been wanting 3 martyr, cud now they have got hint. Sumner is hound to become u Free-soil Saint, and the blood of his vile and corrupt cranium upon the floor of the Senate Chamber will serve as a speculum in which his following Republican colleagues will see h:s gas ping visage, and their keen indignation will never cease to bubble and seethe. The cry of “remember Sumner” will ring in our ears for days to come ; it will be a standard cry for marshaling their rebel troops. The Cayvtja Chief lets off thus, “the North has hem long suffering, but she will not endure qui etly such an outrage. Her voice will be heard in trumpet tones; and the cry oi” Renumber Sumner”’ shall he as the lierv cross of the highlands to wake up and rally her hosts.” We beg of the Chiefand some other of our Northern rampant “nigger wor shippers” to hold in their horns, before their corpoieal engines explode. We think it advisable to cage Col. Brewster of Massachusetts, before he ‘dabs’ ;dl of'our ‘Southern States’ to the hud-hone with a boicie [ knit'e. hi his speech in Fanenil Hall, Boston, he : said: j “Under the flag of our country floating over our | National Capitol, a Senator of Massachusetts had j been cloven down by a dastardly coward. He trus- I ted a voice would go forth from tanucil Hall to night that would shake the country from battlement to foundation, (cheer,; He knew not what course otheis may take, but as for him givehim liberty or give him death. (Enthusiastic applause) He alsoquo loathe remark of \\ ehstor, that there was a blow to give as well as to take, and “il it comes to that fellow-citizens, 1 say let it be war to the knife an<l the knife to the hilt,” (Terrific applause.) Now don't they whine? We think Brooks had bet ter go on and Wore’ Brewster down before he butrh or* all the Southern States with a dirk. 1 his alfair is to ? lamented, for there is nothing to be gained by it, at tuc South, but on the other hand much to he lost. hhe meetings of approbation whit art- being held in some of the Southern States, aim the presentation of canes, and pitchers, to Breaks as ti .-tm.onials or approval, wo seriously condemn, for tuc aggravation of crime is never productive of any .'*■(l, ami we would like to hear of an end being put m Mich meetings, We disapprove of such public mauife-vlioi'is, while at the same time we dont be ;uvi diruuks struck a lick amiss. .1 Xcie Dnt<s.~Ov\T old friend, the Pain Killer, has come out in an entirely new drew, which greatly improves its appearance.
