v misery ? Upon the fiend s'who deal out This soul
destroying poison to mankind, and the unrighteous
lawgivers who 1 upport them in the practice, and
“quote scripture for the deed?” Despair not, lone
and suffering one; thy hoar of retribution will ar
rive. “Vengeance is nunc, saith the Lord,” and the
judge of all the earth will do right.
“You Can’t Force Men to be Moral !”
‘Morally and physically, man is a free agent, and
any law seeking to control his volition is an insult
offered to his dignity and understanding.”
This idea is extremely rich, grand, gloomy, and
peculiar—the individual who first got it off should
be immortalized with a full sized statue done in pew
ter. Our opponents here, as on every other point,
knowingly and wilfully mistake the issue entire—
simply because they are unable to “face the music.”
Forcing men to be moral i ’ out of our line of busi
ness ; we know as well as you, that men are like
hogs; you may tole them, but you cannot drive them.
Yes, you may tole a sore-eyed drunken gentile with
bottle of mean whisky, even into a slaughter-pen,
but as to driving him you might as well attempt to
avert the coming storm by r ailing the ten command
ments to the mast-head of a ship. No; we can’t
spree you to be moral, but we can force you to ob
, scree morality. YY e have numberless enactments
upon our Statute-Books to that effect, which none
dare repudiate. Such are the laws against Sabbath
breaking, bigamy, &c. The power of the govern
ment is called into requisition to enforce the great
cardinal principles of every religion, no matter what
may be the nature of it.
Primarily, laws are not intended to reform, but to
restrain. The law takes no cognizance of motives
and affections, but of acts. It denounces no penal
ty against hate as an abstract emotion, but when it
ultimates itself in the violation of another’s rights,
in murders, assaults, and maimings, the law then
recognizes and punishes it, —it steps in with its co
-4 creive power and restrains , not reforms, the wrong
doer, —it may, in a measure reform by restraining
him, but that is a secondary result. Every law upon
our Statute-Book is coercive, but honest and law
abiding citizens see no hardships in this. They
are not prevented from arson, burglary, and homo
cide, by fear of penalties; for in all these things they
are a law unto themselves. But the wicked, the
revengeful, and the malignant, are restrained, and
it was for these that the penalties of the law were
designed; and if a man who persues an unholy traf
fic, the legitimate tendency of which is to impover
ish the country, produce idleness, crime, and de
bauchery, and to impose heavy pecuniary burdens
upon the people, may not be coerced, then is civil
government a failure, and the right of the citizen to
protection a delusion, and all the inmates of our
State prisons are entitled to exemplary damages for
loss of time, defamation of character, and restraint
of liberty. If our opponents will show us that this
position is untenable, then we agree to abandon all
coercive legislation as unphilosophical,—but until
- you do it, we beg of you, for heaven’s sake, not to
whine so much about “legislative morality,” “fine
and imprisonment,” “coercion and persecution.”

Gov. Wise on Bachelors.
Since it seems to be generally understood that
Mr. Buchanan is the first choice of Governor Wise
for the succession, some of our YVhig friends ate
having .a bit of fun at his expense. They charge him
with inconsistency, and adduce in proof the extract
below, from a speech of his in Congress:
“But Mr. Speaker, there is a certain class of men,
who, put them where you will, in any situation in
life, will piddle —l mean old bachelors. I will never
henceforth, support any man for the Presidency
who will appoint a bachelor to any office of honor or
profit, and especially of responsibility. An old bach
elor, sir, is an old withered fig tree —he is a vis iner
ti.ae! Old bachelors are too near akin to old maids!”
It was rumored through the country last winter
that Gov. Wise had become insane, and after seeing
the above, we do not think any one could entertain
the least doubt of it. The man who could openly
perpetrate such a libellous sentiment respecting two
of the most respectable classes of society, must not
only have a very weak head, but also a very bad
heart. We know not the cause of the Governor’s
unhappy alienation of mind, but we suppose it or
iginated where a great many such cases do. We
suspect him to be a hen-pecked husband. Poor fel
low ! we pity him. *
Old Bachelors, Look on This.
Single Blessedness. —Sheet-iron quilts—blue noses
—frosty rooms—ice in the pitcher—unregenerated
linen —heel-less socks —butjonless shirts coffee
sweetened with icicles —gutta-percha biscuits—flab
by steaks—corns, coughs and cholics—aloes, misery,
(fee., &c. Bah!
And then on This.
Matrimony. —Hot buckwheat cakes —warm bods
—comfortable slippers—smoking coffee—round arms
—red lips—ahem!—etc, etc. —shirts exulting in but
tons —redeemed stockings —boot-jacks—happiness,
ifec., &c.
Are not the two pictures enough to pursuade all
Bachelerdom to strike out on a sparking expedition
apd hunt up a companion? If not, then let them
alone for they are jined to their idols. The convin
cing argument in the picture is ‘ darned ’ socks. Show
u§ a man, without a wife, now a-days, who has a
pair of socks with no holes in them, and wc will
show you a pair that's got neither toes nor heels.
Our “chum” at our elbow, who exults in his free
< dom, hunches us in the side and indignantly ob
serves —“stick your finger in whose eye ?”
We received the following letter from the far-off
regions of Arkansas, which we hope our friend will
excuse us for publishing. It always affords us pleas
ure to know that our humble labors are appreciated,
and this pleasure is heightened wheir it comes fro n
a source which we know is uninfluenced by preju
dice. If each of our friends would make an effort
t(> extend our circulation, they would enable us to
give them a paper which would be indeed worthy of
their support.
Dear Sir: —Your valuable paper is a welcome guest
at our fireside. It diffuses joy and mirth through
the whole family circle; each one is eager to read
its contents. Its precepts have taught my children
to look upon drunkenness as the greatest of all evils
and I thank God that it has had such a happy effect.
I wish it could find a place in every household
throughout our ’and, I feel bound to give my en
couragement to a journal which has for its object
the accomplishmentot so noble an end. Your paper
has shown itself to be a firm supporter of the cause
It has espoused, and its new appearance and renew
-Ug energies, promises much towards accomplishing
the end aimed at lam well pleased with the alter

his support and influence. Enclosed you. will find

,niUc celebrated Addison s:qid many years ago,
tWine heightens iiidinefence into love, love intojeal
£ o|rsy, and jealousy into madness. It often turns the
good-natured man into an idiot, and the choleric in
to an assassin. It gives bitterness to resentment, it
makes vanity insupportable, and displays every lit
tle spot of the soul in its almost deformity.’ ”
And he might have added, it rouses ail the fiend
ish p&§s}on§ of njan’,B nature, imd arrays theta in
deadly hostility against his fellow man. It builds
’
poor-houses, jails, asyltfms* and penitentiaries, and
fills them with their wretched and degraded inmates.
It generates every species of iniquity, which broods,
over our land, paralysing the progression of Chris
tianity and civilization. It coils like a serpant about
the soul of man, and drags it, howling and'hissing,’
into the lake of damnation.
Morning—Sunrise Something - New-Glo
r ‘ rious.
Sv\.eot.is the breath of morn, her rising sweet,
V* ith cliarm of earliest birds.”
Mira bite dictu, ’ wehavebeen an eye witness up
on ‘sunrise;” a radiant and transcend ant spectacle
in the diorama of nature seldom enjoyed bv ourself,
and so far as we are able to testify, a scene seldom
occurring. We arose with fevered brow from our
sleepless pallet after suffering-the -excruciating tor
tures of having spectred visitants to watch over our
dreams, and sallied out into the open air, and O,
what feelings of mingled astonishment, joy and grat
itude did we experience! We were in a different
sphere from our accustomed one. Gleams of morn
ing had laked the eastern verge of heaven with sil
very tincture—nature seemed clothed in a greener,
fresher, and more cheering robe—liquid jewelry
hung in glistening tapestry from every bough and
leaflet—the little feathered choristers hymning the
unwritten music of nature, caroled sweeter matins
—the breezes stealing through lovely jasmin bowers
and rosy chaplets hung out by flora, bore to our nos
trils sweeter aroma—under an ebullience of internal
joy we unconsciously joined in the diapason of praise
ascending to God.
Old Phoebus at length arose from the lap of Thetis
and
“Came dancing forth shaking his dewy hair
And hurl’d his glist’ring beams through gloomy air.”
Ashe arosein boundless majesty and looked aslant
the dew-bright earth, flecked darkness retired from
the face of nature —the owl hunted its tower—beasts
of prey that roam at night, sought their lairs—and
wandering ghosts trooped home to church-yards.—
While looking upon it we could but exclaim, after
the manner of “Byron’s Manfred,” Most glorious orb!
Thou earliest minister of the Almighty, which glad
dened on their mountain tops, the hearts of the Chal
dean Shepherds till they poured themselves in ori
sons ! Thou Material God! and representative of
the unknown who chose thee for his shadow! Sire
of the seasons! Monarch of the climes, and those
who dwell in them!
With senses ravished with these new. scenes in
creation, we wandered along until we seated ourself
beside a clear and inviting spring with waters as
blessed as that with which the bvely Clare cooled the
fevered brow of the dying Marmion. At a little dis
tance pearled a gurgling rivulet winding its way to
its ocean home—beyond was spread out a lovely
landscape, carpetted with rich green sward, and sur
rounded with little hillocks damasked with roses,
lillies, honeysuckles and woodbines—a, landscape as
beautiful as ever Tempe spread for lo’s dreams—the
little songsters all sang eloquently in the deep for
ests —the goldfinch filled the hollows with its calls—
the little wren chirruped its mellow plaint—the
thrush musically mimicked the whistling plonghboy
—the bluebird sweetly chattered upon a distant de
cayed limb—the fretting jay flew by squealing as if
mad at something—the woodpecker roared upon a
dead tree —the cock robbin, sitting beside her last
year’s dilapidated nest, sang a sweet, simple song of
sorrow —the breeze wafted to our ears the sympa
thetic moaning of a heavenly dove—memory wan
dered back through the chequered pathway of the
past and dwelt upon myriads of happy’ scenes; it re
surrected from the grave the familiar forms of many
loved relations, and near and dear friends, and em
braced them as in the days of “Lang Syne.” We
saw the familiar form and grey heirs of a beloved
old father, as he would call us from our playful gam
bols to embrace us in his arms —a sweet sister with
countenance lit up with the radiance of heaven, who
would always imprint an affectionate kiss upon our
brow when bidding her farewell—a tender babe, un
acquainted with sorrow, gently sinking, without a
murmur, from the bosom of an affectionate mother
into the arms of its God. With senses thoroughly
intoxicated, and a soul “lapped in an Elysium” we
fell a lileless corpse against a tree, in which posture
we remained until aroused by the ringing of the
breakfast bell and an empty stomach.
Eccentricity of manner is so often allied to great
genius that some very great fools have been thought 1
to possess talent, because they were unlike the rest
of the world in their actions, a
Eccentricity was always very disgusting to us from
the very fact that in nine cases out of ten, it is the
result of affectation. There is however no form of
it so disagreeable as that which some persons exhibit
in order to gain the reputation of being talented. It
is a strange, and certainly a very lazy ambition
which would prompt a person to desire such a repu
tation, without ever doing anything to deserve it,
though what it can avail any one, we have never
been able to discover. We have known persons who
were overrated, and they were always .objects of our
commiseration. To possess a reputation for genius,
which none of his actions over have or ever can jus
tify, must to a sensible person, be a very embarras
sing position. Some people, either from want of
good taste or good sense strive to impress upon oth
ers an idea of Jheir originality by looking, speaking,
and acting in a manner different from-every one else.
Strange to say, they frequently succeed. They may
possess talents ; but like the ghost of Hamlet, they
“come in such a questionable shape,” that we always
doubted their existence. *

have used your Pain Killer for a number of years, for
bowel complaint and burns, and in fact for pains of
all kinds, I think it pre-eminent. I have had sever
al attacks of dysentery, one very violent. I was at
tacked at three o’clock in the morning, and at sun
rise I was not able to get off t; y bed, I sent and got
a twenty-five cent bottle of your Pain Killer, which
I commenced taking according to directions, and at
6 o’clock in the evening my bowels were regular,
and I was up and moving about, although somewhat
weak. I would recommend all similarly afflicted to
avail themselves of your invaluable medicine.

COTOOSA SPRINGS, 1556.
THE roiling year again brings round the season
when we have been accustomed to welcome
our many friends and patrons to our delightful wa
tering place.
Grateful for past favors, wc will strive to merit the
continued approbation of those to whom we have
hitherto been indebted, as well as the favorable con-
Gderation of those who have yet been strangers to
the
* AHATOGA OF THE SOUTH.”
We have never commenced a season under more
flattering auspices ; our Orchard promises to yield
an abundance of fruit, and our supply of Ice, already
housed, secures us against any possible deprivation
of that very necessary luxury.
We have engaged the services of superior MUSI
CIANS, and those who delight in the “concord of
sweet sounds” will be abundantly gratified.
We allow, and are always glad to encourage, all
kinds of innocent and healthful amusements, desir
ing to make the time pass happily for all.
The medicinal virtues of our many and varied
MINERAL WATERS are now too well known tore
quire an extended description. In addition to the
Red, YY hite, and Black Sulphur Springs, many of
them combined with Iron and Magnesia, we have an
inexhaustible well of the purest Freestone.
>v o must be permitted to a word to those to
whom Cotoosa ever offers her gladdest welcome; we
trust that the bright eyes and merry faces that have
so often honored us with their presence, will again
visit us : especially for these shall we use our best
endeavors to make “the pleasant summer time” pass
joyously.
Our accommodations are very extensive—we have
many pleasant cottages separate from the main Ho
tel, where families can be as quiet and retired as in
their own homes.

PLANTATION FOR SALE.
HP ME undersigned offers for sale a good Planta
-1~ turn, containing about Four Hundred Acres of
Land, lying on the Oconee river, directly on the
“ ori( l between Greenesboro’ .and Scull Shoals, and
eve miles from Penlield. It will be readily recog
mzed as the plantation formerly owned by John
Oolclough, Esq. The tract contains about one hun
dred acres of superior bottom land, and about the
-aine number of acres ol wood land, well timbered.
The soil throughout is rich, and with a moderate
amount of labor, will yield from six to seven bales
of cotton to the hand.
My reason for selling is because I am of the opin
ion that a different investment af capital will be more
profitable.
Any person wishing such a plantation will doubt
less find it to Ins advantage to call upon the under
signed, or his overseer, living near the premises, and
make an examination for himself.
All the necessary improvements will be found on
the premises, and in tolerably good order.
Terms —One-half cash; the other half, good notes,
with security, payable within twelve months.
