OF Temperance In Washington
Conversion of Mr.. Marshall, the DIstin-
guished Kentucky M q.

The cause of temperance is making rapid pro-
gress in Washington, but no conquest has equaled
that of the Hon. Thomas F. Marshall, a representa-
tive in Congress, from the State of Kentucky This
event, which will gladden. many hearts, took
place Friday, when Mr.. Marshall signed pledge,
drawn up for him in the House of Representatives,
by the Hon. Mr. Briggs OF Massachusetts,. In the
evening he attended meeting of the Temperance
Society, in the Lecture Room of the Medical Col
lsge, and made public acknowledgment of the
sep he had taken, and, in pathetic strain, de-
tailed the moving and immediate In his Pc
culiarly eloquent style this gifted man drew APP
palng picture of the loahsomeness Of drunkenness
and the debascment Of the form which God made
In his own image; but its effects went beyond
physical, to the intellectual part of man, contem-
plation of which had alarmed him, and hence his
public abandonment Of the cause of so many woes.
Never has the of temperance brought to its
aid so brilliant an intellect and his eoquence, now,
doubtless to be partially diverted from political par
tsanshp to the cause of mans moral elevation, will
find ample room and verge enough for its highest
flights TO charm and allure others from degradation
to the pathway of social happiness and intellectual
advancement.

DEAR SIR
AS regards matters and things in this our tack
woods city," il is impossible to give a general re-
view; conse quenty shall take the most prominent
in expectation Of your notice, should no matter of
greater importance (Which with you is not Unusually
arrest your attention. The weather is quite disa-
greeable winter in every shape and form magma
bic has visited u.s. This day is very beautiful, how
ever-the heavens as serene and cloudless es in
midsummer, and nothing remains TO testify to old
winters appearance amongst us, except the cen
gealed masses of mudded snow which cover the
streets
great anxiety prevails respecting the operation
OF Legislature In lis present session. and that Of
the Governor elect (who is 10 be inaugura,ed on
Monday nexD on the currency question. The pre-
sent Governor, in his Message to the General Az
semby few days ago, has strongly recommended
the compusion Of the banks to redeem their issues
in specie. That is exactly right. If suspension is
good, they have enjoyed it long enough. Then all
the rotten concerns will have to show their deferm
ty. Breakers, tremendous shoals of breakers, are
ahead and to the dsmay Of Bddles" and small
thieves, will shortly show themselves. Sc, friend
Bennett look out for shipwrecks, or more properly
bank understanding, crashing, explosions, busi-
catlons, suicides and thousand ct ceteras, by the
wholesale There is nothing than that one
half the banks will go by the board. We expect a
blow up ia our Institutions,
The winter of finance-for that too has its sea-
sons-has set in here rather for the worse Our
Mayor and his clique Of abettOrs fine, when late,
that his skill in that science has proved TO
the business community. For, having collected the
issues of our citizens in the private banking BUSH
ness, he opened field for the foreign " shns" which
come TO town, with the power Of locomotion; they
are as drugs-the one halt of them worse than
Jacksonville Bank notes. Little Biddle would find
no difficulty in circulating his stuff here. The rail-
road notes of Baltimore about 10 l2t per cent
discount. McLanes fnanciering will be tested
shortly. The direct tax will be under consideration
tomorrow at Hagestown. A meeting Of the
Washington couRty farmers for that purpose has
been called
In conclusion, I recommend to your care the wit
nesses in the Wiley case, from the Frederick Coun-
ty Bank, viz: the Cashier and two directors Di-
rect your frown on any down easter who may at
tempt TO practice on their good nature. Don't look
for Republication from Maryand-that's out of the
question.
