A Fortune TO a Teto.aler.

Three years ago, when the Washlngtonlan
standard was first sci up in our City, apoor, de-
graded, piliable druukard, who apparently was
close on the borders of dishonorable grave heard
the message, and became one of the first con-
verts. He has ever since been most devoted
advocate Of Temperance, and has managed to
keep his family from actual suffering by his con-
slant industry and fIugality. BY the last steam
ship from England he received information that
an estate of $l50,O00 had fallen TO him in that
country, and he went out in the Great Western
on Saturday to take possession of it. Lie gave
a parting address to his Washingtonlan brethren
on Friday evening, cxhoring them to be faithful
and ardent in tho good cause. lie will return to
this City TO pass the remainder of his days
n The bitterness Of the Loco.Focos against
the present Wing Tariff, in those sections OF the
country where temporary interest does not hold
free expression in check, amounts almost to a
monomania. AT a recent meeting Of the De-
mocracy' of Charleston, S. c.. Judge Hugcr, in
the language Of South Carolina paper, came.
forward, and in speech, of which it. would be
chile and logical manner, the gross injustice and
oppression to The South from the iniqutous pro-
tectye system Hc illustrated the manner In
which the South was impoverished and the
North enriched by the unequal operation Of the
system; and showed that, IN addition to the tax
that was paid to the Government, the consumer,
of the South paid indirectly and necessarily a
much larger tax To the manufacturer o, the North
that the chief, among the causes that contTi-
bu,ed TO impoverish the South, Is the TACT, that
almost the whole amount drawn from II by The
nnera,jon of the tariff was dshursed in other
uuarters-,hls acting drain upon the wealth
and energies of the country without yielding Ill
