TEMpERANcE-MARIoN SocIETY-SpEEcH
OF Mr.. JOHN HAWKINS, THE CELEBRATED
TEMPERANCE LECTURER. | have noticed for
some time past, and with regret, that the
efforts which were formerly made by many So
cieties to push on the blessed cause of Temper
ance, have been suffered to flag, and that less
interest is now manifested by the citizens Of
Baltimore IN the success of this great and en-
nobling enterprise. Surely this ought not 10
be said of US, and ought not so to be. The
Marion Society, q meeting of which we at
tended on Wednesday evening, deserve great
credit for their efficient zeal and honest deter
mination to push ahead, and if seconded by
the combined efforts of the other associations
in the city, will no doubt do much, during the
present winter, towards difusing life and ami
nation amongst the friends of Temperance,
and stir them up to renewed exertion. ] have
heard before of the "great reformed" as Mr..
Hawkins has been termed, but having never
listened to an address from him, | was induced
to attend the meeting aforementioned Mr..
II. appears to have taken hold Of the enter
prise i'll the only true and proper spirit, by
which we may hope TO make reform permanent,
and that is, in the spirit of the philanthropist
and Christian His address proved him, to my
mind, to have at heart, and deeply too, the re-
formation of the unhappy and disgraced inc
briatc, and the comfort and prosperity of his
suffering family. The avowal of his condition
and the bodily and mental suffering which in
temperance once subjected him to, enlisted the
deep sympathies of his audience, and few who
listened to his recital of such plain and unvar-
nshed statements all who knew any thing
of tho evils of intemperance readily recognized
them as vivid and graphic facts, -could restrain
their tears look upon Mr.. Hawkins as an
eloquent and practical advocate in the great
cause which he has espoused, and as man
calculated to do thousand times more good
than all the fne-spun and nicely-worded lee
lures on intemperance that could be written.
Mr. Hawkins, have been told, intends extend
ing the field of his labor to the great West
and sincerely hope, that wherever he may
proclaim the objects of his glorious mission,
his exertions may be crowned with success,
and his spirit cheered with the evidences of
Divine approval. Yours, sc. G.

WASHINGTON, Dec. b, 1914.
In the Supreme Court, yesterday, Reverdy
Johnson, Esq, as counsel for Andrew Aldridge
and others, plaintiffs in error, concluded his
very able address to the Court, on the interest
ing case which has been under consideration
and argument since the opening of the Court.
This being the day appointed for the hearing
Of motions, the business in the Supreme Court
was not of an interesting character The
Court will not, as am informed, continue their
sitting on Saturdays. 1t is expected the Court
will remain i'll session until March.
The Circuit Court for the County of Wash
ington, which was adjourned until this day,
was again adjourned by the Hon. Judge Nor
sell, until next Tuesday. The Hon. Chief
Judge Cranch is still presiding in the Circuit
Court for Alexandria county, where the pro-
tracted and important will case, which has &C.
cupied so much time, remains yet unfinished.
1t is supposed by some Of the learned counsel
who practice in our Circuit Court, that as Judge
Ihruston still continues sick, and as many of
the lawyers will have to attend the Supreme
Court, there will be postponement OF all the
cases in the Circuit Court until the March
term. 1t is supposed, moreover, that there will
be an alteration in the time of holding the
Circuit Court, SO as to avoid the present COLI
sion with the Supreme Court.
The Capitol is quite dull to-day, in conse-
quence of the adjournment in both branches of
Congress until next Monday.
The Swiss Bell Ringers attracted another
crowded and fashionable audience last night, q :
the Washington Assembly Room. Tonight
another crowded house is confidently expected
Every one who has heard these wonderful per-
formanccs is much delighted with them.

FIRE AT DEXTER, MICHIGAN. A letter Of
25th New, from Dexter, to the Detroit Free
Press, says:-"Y esterday, about l O'Clock, a
fire broke out in a cabinet shop, occupied by
Henry Vnce, and swept off all the buildings
on that side of the street for several rods
Seven stores besides cabinet shops, shoe shops,
tin shops Sc, were swept by the board in less
than | l-2 hours. But very little of either
goods or houses were insured; the loss cannot
be estimated clearly by either owners or citi-
zens. The stores occupied by Messrs. D. c.
Wildwood, Hays, Swift, Shepard, and others
were consumed, sustaining a great loss"

SATURDAY MORNING, DECEMBER

Mexico or the Pacific Ocean, would no longer
leave our title to the Oregon Territory bar
rem or untenablc claim. Its possession and &C.
cupancy would thenceforth not depend upon
the naval superiority on the Pacific Ocean.
Troops and supplies from the proectt Ne
braska Territory would be able to contend for
its possession with any force coming from the
sea. Natural distractions in the navigation of
the Columbia river would enable settlements
gradually to approach the coast, in defiance (f
it should come to that of any navy in the
world. The time, indeed, might not be dis
tant, when these very settlements would supply
all the elements which might be needed, of ma
val strength, to give us our nate raj and proper
position on the Pacific Ocean. In carrying out
these views, | would recommend an appropria-
ton of 100000 for erecting the military posts
from the Missouri river to the Rocky Noun
tains.
Eighty-nine thousand two hundred and eigh-
ty Indians have been transferred by the United
States west of the Mississippi; making the
whole Indian population west of the river, and
contiguous to the United States 254 ,O92; indie
pendent of the numerous wandering tribes,
whose numbers cannot be ascertained. 81
l93,629 will be required by the Indian Bureau
for various objects. The Secretary considers
the improvement in some of the tribes so "a
pid and extensive, that he suggests the propr-
ETY. of Incorporating them with ourselves, and
extending to them the blessings of our institu-
tions; and this idea he enforccs at some length.
He refers to the disagreements between the
different bands of the Cherokee Indians, and
has appointed three agents to inquire into the
causes of dicontent, &c-and he concludes by
recommending the erection of additional build
ings, for the safety of the records of the de-
partment, and the more convenient despatch

HIGHLY IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO. We
learn from the New Orleans papers that the
English trigate Spartan, Capt Elliott, arrived
at the Southwest Pass on the 26th ult., from
Vera Cruz, bringing important dispatches for
the English Government as we'll as for our own.
The Bee says the affairs of Mexico begin to
wear a portentous aspect. An instruction has
broken out at Gandalaxara, Guiana luato and
San Luis, sufficiently serious to require the
personal attention of Santa Ana. The move
ment was headed by Gen Pareotes, who calls
the President to an an account for the enormous
sums of money expended during his admins
tration. Our information on this subject is de-
rived from letter dated Mexico, the 10th No
vember, from highly respectable and unques-
tionable source Santa Ana had raised an ar
my of 10000 men, and proceeded towards
Guadalaxara, for the purpose of quelling the
sediton. 1t is rumored likewise that two ad-
joining provinces had joined the movement,
but the last mail which had reached the city of
Mexico failed to corroborate this intelligence.
1t would appear, says the Picayune, from
such of the published correspondence as we
have seen in the Dia1io, that on the 3lst ult.
Governor Shannon addressed letter TO the
Mexican Government protesting against the
proposed invasion of Texas by Mexico, and
especially against the manner in which the in
vasion was to be made. To this the Ministet
of Foreign Affairs replied-(we have not seen
his communication -denying the right of the
United States or any foreign government to
interfere in the internal affairs of the republic.
Gov Shannon in answer, characterzes the
Secretary's letter as being grossly offensive, in
asmuch as it charges the United States, its
government and people, with falschood trick
cry, intrigue and designs of the most dishonor-
able character. Gov. Shannon alleges that
the note of the Secretary is so gross in its cha
racter, so offensive, that he can only demand
that it be at once withdrawn.
The Mexican Minister replies with the ut
most warmth. He treats the earlier part of
Gov Shannon's correspondence as being super
cilious and offensive, justifes all that he has
himself written, protests that the Mexican
government has done, and is doing, all that it
can to prevent rupture with the United
Statos, but that affaiRs have reached such
crisis that it is necessary for his government to
speak out plainly before the world. He there
fore declines to withdraw the note

TO TRAVELLERS

AND THE PUBLIC GESERALLY.
n eaa~Ta An Article appeared in the Americas
Republican ofyesterday morning, with
ksEasSnfssssR- the signature of LEMUEL G. TAY-
LUR annexed, which, notwithstanding the scuruIisy
Of style, demands Some notice at my hands, in ednst
quencc of the unjustiiabe attack made upon me,
divduay, therein. Having no desire TO submit my
professions OF zeal in the public service to other test
than that Of practical experience, shall not essay
any unnecessary statements of facts but leave gF
position TO such defence as the udicous purtiSn0
my feiow-citiZels will afford me, under so unpsu-
voked and unwarrantable an assault. True, il is IA
assault by the pen alone, but it strikes at my integrity
Of purpose, and is offensive to honorable sense
of proprcty, than attack upon the person. 1t eY5t
mates, too, from professor of Christianity, fase
which would impart some weight to it, but that the
low and indecorous language in which the malice az
abuse is couched by the writer abundanty shieds
me from its influence, and leaves the venom raHkiHs
in the bosom of the man from whom the mssive spe&-
have no desire to retort upon this self coRsttl1ak
censor of my pursuits, but leave him, with my feeiiuE
undisturbed, to the calmer reflections of his auE
mind satisfied that he must find therein, if not at ti
hands Of insulted public, that reproach for sa-
tuitous an imposition upon the creduly of this
munity as its audacty deserves.
