FATHER MATTHEW.

FATHER MATTHEW.
This great Apostle of Temperance has at
length arrived in the United States. lie came
over in the ship Ashburton, and his reception
at Castle Garden, by the city authorities of
New York, was all that his friends could de-
sire. We take the following from the N. Y.
Herald
"Fathew Matthew enjoyed excellent
health all the way, and his spirits were
remarkably good. He was only sea
sick for the first day or two. He looks
right well, though, when going on shore,
he appeared a little nervous and cx-
cited
He offered Mass and addressed the
people every Sunday during the voyage,
and on the Sunday before last he ad-
dressed the passengers on the subject of
temperance, when he administered the
pledge to I5O He conciliated the affec
ton and good will of all on board-even
of those who did not adopt the tcctotal
principles.
We take the following from the Abbevillc
Banner
"LooK Our-We have been requested to
warn the public against two persons who arc
travelling through the District selling Linen
Table Clothes and other articles. Their con
duct has been such az to excite the suspicion of
all with whom they have had any dealings, in
consequence of their familiarity with servants
where they stop and the impertiuent questions
they ask them rs to the treatment they re-
ceNc at the hands of their masters. They
nre after no good, let us keep am eye on them.
The same persons, we understand, were at
this place some time since. They went to n
house to stay all night and were directed to the
tavern They said they had Linen for sale and
the next morning denied having any. They
went from this place to West Union, where
they sold some of their articles. 1t is time that
we should look well to those who are trovol-
ling through our country-men on honest busi.
ness VIII not regard it, others have no right to
complain.

GENrLEMEN: By the good providence
OF merciful God, am now here, in the
enjoyment of a reasonable portion of
health, after fatiguing journey AZ my
own conveyance to Marietta where the
gathering of the temperance people of
Georgia took place on the 9th of last
mcnth-a proud day for the friends of
the cause. The different organizations
were well represented. Only four dele
gates from our State: Rice Dulin, of
Charleston Col. Allen, of Abbcyille, Col.
Edwards, Of Srartanburg, and myself.
The procession and Annual Address
took place on Thursday; the procession
supposed to have been half mile lonp:
about 1000 Sons of Temperance, one
hundred Daughters of Temperance, and
at least one hundred Cadets and Cold
Water boys, with banners spread TO the
breeze,-of all the banners, that of the
Daughters greatly surpassed in size and
beauty.
Col. Wigfcld, of Madison, delivered
the Annual Address, an excellent nro-
duc'ion, but too long for his physical
strength. After him about half dozen
Cadets and Cold Waters boys did great
credit in advocating the cause. The
President, Judge Lumkin, then addressed
