From ..le Md. temperance llGEalu.
WHAT EAvE TEMPERANCE SOCIETIES DONE
This question is very often pat to the
friends of Temperance, by persons who are
intemperate in their habits, and sometimes by
persons who are not really temperate, but not
Incorporate.
We will tell such persons what Temper
aacs has done, and ol the other hand, what
Iateanprrancc has done.
It will be remembered, that not above ten
wears aco, when visitors entered your doors,
your decanters were set before them, with
the choicest of wine and spirits, thereby o.
ferng poison to them under the name OF
wine cord.als, whiskey, rum, gin, &c. Is TINS
done now. No. When the chimney sweep
and his mls.er visited you, TO perform Their
services, gin or other liquors were set before
them, and if there were none OF those liquors
in the house, YOU set out for them, thus set
ting an example to your children, deleterous
in its effects as that of deadly poison, besides
Offering POISON to the sweep-master and his
bows. Is this done now! No! On your
chiIdrcn's birth days you must have good
barrel of cider or beer tapped, and let your
children and their associates get "r,ght down
funnv,' as the "down east" SAYING Is. is tins
done now. But seldom.
In making these statements. We nave shown
that Temperance has done something IN al
terinr the customs of our people, and, besides
doin@ t!.s, it has made many mre'ched family
happy! made many drunkard's wife to weep
tears of joy! saved many poor drunkard
from ruin in this and the other world to come
and Temperance Societies, by their opera,
tions, have convinced many dealers IN, and
manufacturers o. the "accursed poison, OF
the immortality of their trade, and caused them
to abandon it for "beter or worse NOW,
VIC would ask such persons, has not temper
ance done something for us " None put
those ;iready degraded in the eyes OF the
world, will dare deny the assertion.
Now we will proceed to give YOU bret de-
tail of what Intemperaace has done. lntem-
perance has been the death Of many hundreds
of persons, and thus rendering their wives and
children paupers! 1t has bllghted their fair
est prospects in this and tine world to come
and finally, those persons thus left have sunk
into premature graves, unprepared, and un-
blessed.
A drunkard's grave! All, mel "a fear
full looking for of the wrath to come" 1t has
been expressly said by our Lord and Saviour
"No drunkard shall inherit the klngdcm OF
Heaven" P.P.

The Cincinnati Wing, of June 18th says,
in illustration of Mr.. Senator Ew1NGs pre-.
diction, for which he has received unmeasur-
ed abuse:
The number of steamboats, now out Of &C.
tive employ, on the Ohio river, between Lou
sville and Pittsburg alone, is estimated at one
hundred and tcenty:fre; and the Pittsburg
Bulletin, a thorough Van-Jack print, gives a
list Of torty-one, laid up at that place. We
have been informed by steamboat captains.
that there are more than fifty, at the wharf
and vicinity. The Pittsburg editor is com.
PEELED to acknowledge this "solitude" and
"dreary waste" as follows:
1--WE are sorry to say, such is the limited
business now done in the forwarding trade
that there is'but poor prospect for those boats
leaving our wharves with the usual profitable
freights.'

JUNE, Cti, 1901.
Dear Sir:-Bclicving that an account Of
the late events here on indubitablc authority
(as the country is flooded to my knowledge
with stories and exaggerations respecting
occurrences in Fla. } will not be unaccepta.
bic, | have determined to employ my ear.
Hest convenience since arriving at this post
in giving you hasty sketch.
Making every allowance for the cunning
insincerety and ignorance of moral oblIga-
tons which mark the Indian character sill
it was the general impression in the Army
and elsewhere. that the war was termlna-
ted, and hat the Indians would emigrate,
although they might consult their own con.
vencncc as 10 the precise period. The
Governor of the nation had come in, with
several very influential, chiefs; they sold
their property, their cattle and ponies, min
pled pcaceable with the Whites and Creeks,
EXPRESSED their entire willingness to EN-.
bark whenever the General desired it, and
rave o.hcr indications Of submissiveness.
The chiefs who were still out, sent runners
frequently, declaring their wish to come in,
and that in good time they would do so,
but their people were wild and timid, and
not easily assembled, and that their proper.
tv could not be collected in day, besides
the mpossibiiiy of moving rapidly large
number of women and children. For ma.
nv reasons they were believed,the principal
of which is that the head chiefs were in our
hands we thought and the others would not
renew the war, while these were hostages.
Gen. Jesup is the only person who has
believed the Indians deceitful in all their
professions and his belief was founded on
secret Information which is now just be.
coming known. 1t seems that the Mi.co-
su.cas for some weeks past have had their
war dances, gave up all thought Of ever
emigrating and resolved to force the chiefs
at Tampa into rupture with the whites.
They sent runners to Mcconope ordering
them to join them. which he refused to do,
saving that he had pledged himself, and he
-would not violate his word. At length
on The lst INST, some of the Miccosucas
came to the Indian Camp and held coun-
ell with the friendly chiefs; the result of
which was that they still refused to 60 out
and on the next day visited the Gcni. ill.,
formed him ofwhat had passed,and said they
were afraid the Miccosucas would compel
them to break the peace; he desired them
to remain at Tampa that night, designing
may be to move their camp next day and
to afford them protection, but they deemed
this dangerous, being more afraid to separ-
ate from their people than to renew hosti-
ties with the whites. At this period Maj.

TIL, steamboat Florida, Capt. Hebbard' ar
rived Yesterday from Black Creek. up to
the day of her leaving (22D nothing in addl'
ton to what we have already published IN
relation to the war, had taken place:
We lear rom passenger, that 1t was the
general impression, that all hostilities for the
present would cease-that the Indians had all
left and fled to the Everglades, South OF Fort
Mellon and Lake George-thrt they have
a large Quantity of c,rn planted, in addition to
the very liberal rations which they received
from Government, with ammunition; being
more than their immediate wants required,
have doubtless laid it by in readiness for the
next attack.
The insuficiency of the Government force,
it is said, will, at this time, prevent any etec-
tive move being made nntil the fall, when they
will be brought out to arrest the depredations
of the Indians, who are but waiting for the
whithes to harvest their corn, when they will
again renew them.
Really we feel for the people of Florida
This accounts for Gen. Jesup's request to be
