sPARTANBURa RAIL ROAD.

We are glad to learn that the peopla of
Spartanburg are manifesting SO mach zeal in
the projection Of Rail Road to their Village.
On saie-day last the books were opened by the
Commissioners, for subscriptions to the Spar.
tanburg and Union Rail Road, and at an early
hour the subscriptions, including village and
country, amounted to 80 thousand dollas.-
The Village alone (says the Spartan) has sub.
feribed $4,000, and will increase that sum to
100000 We believe the road is to run by,
Union Q. H. and connect with the GreenviItc
d Columbia Rail Road near Broad River. So
that the latter will derive very little benefit
from the junction; but 50 much more win bo
the advantages to the stockholders in spar

the nature Of Temperance Associations
generally and more particularly on the
nature andspurposes Of that organization
known as the Sons Of Temperance.
About 4 12 o'clock the Division form
cd IN procession under the direction Of
their Marshal, and accompanied by
number OF our citizens, and by all the
ladies, marched in admirable order TO
the Court House; where they had the
pleasure of listening to the lecturer, Mr..
kHrriJ who in a brief but eloquent and
forcible manner explained the ends that
were proposed by his Order, and the
means that were to be employed in the
accomplishments those ends. 1 should
fail to do justice to the man, or to the
orator, were | to attempt to give even an
outline of his discourse; suffice it there
fore to say, that all the objections, which
ignorance, prejudice or interest had ever
started, and many had been started, and
urged, with the furious zeal of iIliberal
minds, We're dispassionately discussed and
werfully--inesistably answered.
The heart of the speaker seemed TO 20
out in gratitude to God, for the almost
miraculous rise of Temperance associa-
tions in this country, where in the short
space of half century, their numbers
have grown from tens to thousands of true
and loyal men, strongly united in the
bonds of brotherhood: animated by one
proud and ennoblipg feeling, and march
ing bravely forward, disciplined and
irresistible host, TO battle in the cause of
humanity.
All that was good, for religion, and all
that was bcautiful-for the ladies, every
where smile sweetly upon the Sons
were enlisted on their side; and it was
this consciousness--the consciousness of
having the appreciation of the good and
fair, that would be their support in the
hour of adversely, and in triumph their
richest reward.
After the lecturer had concluded his
remarks, Col. GRIsHAM. consented to adj
dress the meeting; and then did that
veteran of Temperance, whose hair has
grown gray in supporting this great
cause, with the honest zeal of conviction.
place in vivid colors, before the minds of
his audience, the dark and darnning sins
Of lntempcrance; and as he spoke of all
the accumulated evils of drunkness, of
The sins that could blacken and sink the
soul, and of the misery that must follow
hem, as death follows disease, the low
~ailings of heart broken'wives. and the
cries of starving children, seemed borne
IN the breeze to the ears of the listeners
While ever and anon the laugh and the
,urse, would seem to burstfrom helis and
houses Of debauchery, and to mingle
with the low sounds of woe.
And then with moist eye, from the
nournful scene his words had called up,
he speaker pointed his hcarer to the
green fields, and blue hills that forever
sleep in the mellow sunlight of peace
md happiness, in that beautiful land
where he would have all men to dwell.

THE CHOLERA

The Yazoo Democrat of the 10Th ult. saws
from Wednesday evening to Thursday evening
there were five five deaths with the Cholera
in this place. The epidemic has abated, and
we hope will soon disappear entirely.
We understand the Cholera has greatly
abatcd iii 81. Louis since the fire.
1t has made its appearance in New York,
and first proved quite fatal, there being 8
deaths out Of IL cases, On the a2d ult there
were only 8 cases reported, and the Physicians
disagree as 10 whether it is the genuine Asiatic
Cholera,
1t has also commenced its ravages in Cincin-
natt and rumor says many of the citizens are
leaving for the country. Dr. Drake who is an
extensive practitioner of that place, tells them
tha the disease is not contagious, and those
who escape to the country arc more likely
to be i'll than if they remained at home"
The Cholera has also made its appearance in
Kanawha county, Va, at the Salt Works, and
most Of the worlomen have abandoned them.
We make the following extract from the Co
lunbia Telegraph, written from the same
county, giving the following recipe for the
