STEAMER VANDERBILT.

The Charleston Courier Of The 10th inst contains
IN article on the steamer c. Vanderbilt, from ich
1t appears that the steamer was considered sea-
worthy BY the Port Wardens at Wilmington, and a
ship carpenter who examined her on tho lith inst.
and proceeded in her to Charleston so Judge Of her
condition in seaway," but unseaworthy bY the
Port Wnrdens OF Charleston and tho master OF the
line ship 81. ALLEN. The Courier remarks that
the tribunal of public opinion vii, give decisive
answer in regard to the senworthiness OF the boat.
and that that opinion will sbe expressed by avoiding
the boat as IN unsafe one until she is put in .horough
and complete repair" q II
a card of some OF the passengers han appeared in
the samo paper corioborating the opinion of the
Charleston Port Wnrdcns on the unse awo,thincss
Of the beat. ~ q. ii
Though great credit is due to tho WILMINGTON
Kali Road Company for the enterprize and energy
they have manifested in the prompt, regular and
secure conveyance of the mail and passengers TO
Charleston it is evident that their sea line is exposed
TO the unavoidable dangers of navigation, even if
their boa's are fully scaworthy.
The recent failure Of the mail, the danger of the
passengers, and the expression of their opinion to
that effect consequent on tho alleged unse.uorthi.
ness OF the Vanderbilt, form a new incident in ia
vor OF the proposed connexion by Rail Road Of tic
Camden branch road with Wilmington BY such
c"nnexion, tho detention Of tho mail and risk of hu
man life will bc almost entirely avoided The pub
i'o, then, cannot fail to look upon this measure MS
one Of great importance and interest both in pccu.
mary and humane point Of view.

Temperance at the Vest.

An Ohio correspondent Of the N. Y. Evan.

The cause of Temperance at the West is
assuming q new type, and in some respects is
more vigorous than ever before. AT the same
time it is more restricted in its operation,
since at present it embraces oaly the male
members OF the community. refer now to the
Sons Of Temperance. The Daughters Of

other order. The " Sons number already
| some seventy-tive or hundred Divisions, "
and in these are found the hest men in the
State. As for the secrets Of the order, they
| may scandaiiZe some weak conscienccs, and
yet it must be acknowledged that they have
! been very efficient in rescuing Incorporate
men. The fact that the order has property,
and that il uses this 10 aid all members who
may be in distress, gives greater hope Of per-
petual efficiency, thaa could be expected from
the old organization. In cur Uwn Town, q
number Of men have united with this order
whose only fault was intemperance. In Co.

bers have increased to hundreds. and the great
es' activity characterizes their efforts.

they have been froz.n. b fore you allow
them to feel the effects of fire. plunge the

Thus treated, the most hardy will re-
cover irnmediately-others will lose their
leaves or oven die down 10 the very
ground, and some are so tender that the
slightest frost will kill them; but gcne>
rally they will put forth with fresh vigor
after season Of rest, and gratefully re-
pay your care. Water spar;ngly until
