THE FRUITS OF LIQUOR.

A fracas, which may result fatally 10 one Of
the least individuals concerned in il, took place
yesterday evening, at Walkers refectory. cor
ner of Sixth street and Pennsylvania avenue.
A company of boisterous young men, excited
with liquor, entered the cellar, and attacked,
without provocaiion, another person, by ask
ing him if he was in favor Of Polk. (Another
account states that The first mode taken to breed
a row, was by asking him if he was Mid
shipman or Navy officer.) He however an
swered in the negative; and was Immediately
attacked He defended himself with chair.
and knocked down three of his assailants.
but was in his turn knocked down. A
person with whom he had been in conver-
sauon, assisted him, and was also attacked
Benjamin Young was stabbed twice in the
abdomen, and once in the ribs after he was
down, apparently with a dirk knife, and one
of the wounds is declared to be very danger
Gus, if not mortal. He was stabbed by one
J. Robinson, who is now 10 custody and COM
mitted. Aswe are informed, said Robinson.
when running from the cellar, exclaimed q
have given him three good digs in the ribs -
and the hearers thought, at first, he meant
with his fists, until, by the profuse bleeding of
the wounded person, they saw the whole
truth. We understand that all the parties
were, to degree, intoxicated; but The assail-
ants had been previously drinking at another
cellar.
Comment is unnecessarylat this stage of the
proceedings, except that the Establishment
where the occurrence happened, is "highy
respectable" LEGAL, and LICENSED groggery.

Correspondence of the Columbian Fountain.
ALEXANDRA, Feb. %, 1S46.

ALEXANDRIA, Feb. %, lS46.
Mr.. EDIroR IL attended yesterday evening, a
Temperance meeting, held under the direction OF
the United Brothers of Temperance of Association
No. A, and had the pleasure Of seeing quite large
and respectable audience collected to encourage the
little band in their efforts for the regeneration of the
inebriate. The President of the Association not
being present, VIM. VEITcH. Esq, an honorary
member of the Order, filled the chair. The exer-
cises were opened by the Recording Secretary, Bro
RicHARD L. CARNE, Jr,who addressed the audience
for almost half an hour, in explanation and defence
of the principles upon which the Order is based
He alluded especially to the charge Of its being se-
cret society, 10 frequently urged against it by those
who have never been at the trouble of examining its
principles and proved conclusvey that if the ohiec-
tons can be sustained every Legislative, executive
or ecclesiastical body in country must partici-
pate in the odium which these gentlemen attach 10
it,. In conclusion, he called the ladies to sustain
the. United Brothers Of Temperance in their exer-
tionso propagate the principles Of total abstinence,
and assured them that if such encouragement were
given, glorious and triumphant victory must ensue.
d The Rev. DR.. REEsE next rose and in an address to
which feel myself incompetent to do justice urged
upon the audience the necessity Of total abstinence
from all that can intoxcate. DIR. r., in the course
Of his remarks, alluded to the regalia worn by the
new Orders of Temperance men, characterzlng it as
mark Of weakness in human nature, to allow itself
to be attracted by gaudy trappngs, not regarding
much the holiness Of the cause as the pomp and
splendor of its advocates As this remark is cacu-
latedto leave wrong impression on the public mind,
il would be well to state that the members of these
Orders assign their reason for wearing the regaa
!, that it is the distinguishing mark of temperance
man, and that public appearance in it exhibits him
before the community in his proper position, as one
who has enlisted in the temperance army, and whose
i talents, exertions and influence pledged to tha
cause DR.. r., at the conclusion Of his address,
which occupied about an hour and quarter in the
delivery, called the ladies, who present in
large numbers, to come up in aid of the cause, and
thcy nobly responded to the call by adding twenty
five jewels Gas he gallantly called them,) to the
crown which adorned the brow of the members of
the Order in Alexandra. Al the conclusion Of the
exercises, eleven more names were added to the
pledge, making thirty-si1 for the days work.

DUTIES OF Law MAKKRs.-L Legislators
should make stringent laws against all traffic
IN ardent spirits, but not in advance of public
sentiment. The public should call for such
laws and should insist upon their being made.
And the public spirit could not more earnestly
be supported than by the incubation Of religi-
GUS doctrine. He would have the church take
care Of itself, and the preachers work unceas-
ingly tor reformation and regeneration.
The people are sovereign--legislators and

"go," and they will go. Every man, woman
and child is bound to speak. II is this silence,

The Kingdom OF Heaven is not for the
drunkard. There is nothing more antagonist

demoralizing to the body and the mind, and SO
long as man refuses to abstain totally and en-
tirely from all use oft in every shape, sol
emn and truthful participation in the blessings
Of Christ cannot take place. Men who are
drunkards often pretend to have religion, but
they frequent the tavern more than The church,
they utter more oalhs than prayers; the Billie

pose that such a statement will gain credit in
anyquarter ofthe country, much less in myown
city. And sdpposing the list to be an assump-

cluded therein rather than grave statement
Of facts, by absolute knowledge, have the
confidence 10 believe that you will most cheer
fully correct the error as far as am concerned,
when inform you, that on the day the vote
was taken, and two subsequent ones,I was
confined to my bed by severe illness. Had
been in the House, my name would have
been recorded in the affirmative. have rea-
son to believe also, that several other members
who intended to vote in favor Of the resolution
did not reach the House in time to do 50, as ii
was decided at a very early period Of the
morning ho,r--but they are Of age, and must
speak for themselves. am Of your opinion,
that such as were in their seats, and did not

the Temperance cause, which Heaven forbid
