TEMPERANCE REFoRM.--A little more
than year ago, there was man in Jer'
sey CITY, who, after having suffered all the
horrors of Delirium Tremens, and being
destitute ofevery comfort of life, with a
wife and family dependent on him for
support-despair and death staring him in
the face-was prevailed upon to try the
efficacy of the Temperance Pledge. He
signed it. One hundred and fifty dollars
was loaned him. for the payment of which.
In one year, the temperance men became
responsible. This man rose from his bed
of sickness-commenced business, and is
now keeping small store. Success atten-
ded him. The loan falling due. he was
prepared to meet il and has paid it off, to-
eether with the interest. The gentle man
who made the loan. offered to let II remain
without security. mo-" said the once
miserable but now happy man, do no
want to borro money, | have enough o

ISLANDER REEUIED.

A few DAYS since, we paid meried compli-
ment 10 the Justice OF The New Orleans Tropic,
(Whig,) in reiuling, as what it 'beleved 10 be
vile SANDER" The following charge of the Colum-
bia (Tenn.) Observer against Ro. J. Walker, the
Secretary of the Treasury:
"Some years ago, two gentlemen, we learn, OF
this county, sold property 10 the amount OF several
hundred dollars TO man in Mississippi, and took
his note for The same II was found necessary TO
bring suit upon this note; and TO that end il was
sent TO an attorney in that State. The lawyer
mslaid the note, and could not find it, Alter
which the creditors made affidavit TO the effect
that they had received such note; upon which,
and the affidavit Of the attorney, suit was brongh
but The man who had purchased The property APP
peared in court, and swore that he had never puT-
chased the property, given his note, or had any
dealings with the men, his creditors. The note,
as described in the alfidavils was found and pro-
duced."
Mondays Washington Union thus gives the
finishing blow 10 the fon assault
"The editor oflbe Tropic is right, and deserves
our thanks for bringing this SANDER to our no.
tice; Tor otherwise, it might never have reached
and probably the accuser never intended it To
have reached-the person assailed. We are au-
lhoriZed 10 pronounce the whole statement 10 be
utterly false and nnfounded No such sale, from
the two gentlemen referred 10, 10 Mr.. Walker,
was ever executed; no such note was ever made
by him. by virtue Of any such sale; nor did he
ever make any affidavit denying such sale, or OF
the execution OIL note which he is alleged TO
have given therefor"

Episcopal CONVENTION took a necessa-
rily briei notice in our last of the assembling in
this place Of the Annual Convention of The Pro.
les,ant Episcopal Church Of Virginia. The ses-
sion was brought 10 a close, late on Saturday
night, after The transaction Of no business OF more
than ordinary interest. The religious services
were frequent and highly impressive, not only
in the Episcopal, but in The churches OF other de.
nominations, The use OF which had been kindly
rendered About 20 clergymen, and nearly as
many Lay Delegates, were in attendance. On
Sunday the communion was administered 10
about 400 persons. The religious services were
brought to an effective termination on Sunday
night by a very eloquent and powerful discourse
from Bishop Johns, and an admirable valedicto-
nv address To the clergy and laity By Bishop
Meade, whose feeble health, We regret 10 learn,
prevented him from preaching.
The number ni strangers brought to the place
ON this occasion was very large, and the effect OF
these annual re. unions of citiZcns from various
parts Of The Stale, independent of religious edit
cation, mus, prove highly salutary.
The weather. with slight exceptions, was de-
lshful, and we have heard of no occurrence
whatever, 10 mar The enjoyment of the occasion.
The reputation Of our tuwn for hospitality sui
tered in no degree The houses seemed elastic,
and 10 be endowed with an unsupported capacity
of accumlnodalion-thus verifying the adage,
that "where there is a will, there will be way"
We are requested 10 say, that the Convention
adopted Resolutions OF thanks TO the several re-
lgious denominations for the use OF their respec-
tive houses Of worship kindly tendered and 10
the citizens, for their unbounded hospitality.
The Convention adjourned 10 meet on The third
Wednesday OF MAY next, in Petersburg.
