"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 ex-
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 $50. He conciliated the affec-
ton and good will of all on board-eyen
of those who did not adopt the tectotal
principles
We take the following from the Abbeyillc
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 as 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-
ceiVc mt the hands of their masters. They
are alter no good, let us keep an eye on them
Inc 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 aud
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 travel
ling through our country--men on honest busi-
ness will not regard it, others have no ricbt 70
complain.

GENTLEMEN: By the good providence
OF merciful God, am now here, in the
enjoyment of reasonable portion of
health, after fatiguing journey in my
own conveyance to Marietta: where the
gathering of the temperance people of
Georgia took place on the 9th of last
month--a proud day for the friends of
the cause. The different organizations
were well represented. Only four dele
gates from our State: Rice Duln, of
Charleston, Col. Allen, of Abbcyille, Col.
Edwards, of Spartanburg, and myself.
The procession and Annual Address
took place on Thursday; the procession
supposed to have been half mile long;
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. Wigield, of Madison, delivered
the Annual Address, an excellent pro-
duction, but too long for his physical
strength After him about q half dozen
Cadets and Cold Waters boys did great
credit in advocating the cause. The
President. Judge Lumkin, then addressed
the audience, about 10000 persons, in a
speech of which it would be impossible to
give youa description. | have heard him
