Cadets OfTempcrance.-On sa,ur-
day the 23d Of February,a very handsome BAN
ner was presented to tho Section Of Cadets in this
place, by the young ladies Of Mr.. & Mrs. Bur-
wells school. The ceremony Of presentation was
very interesting, and took place in the chapel Of
the Caldwell Institute. The flag was presented
in behalf of the ladies' by the Rev. Robert Bur-
well, who delivered an admirable address to the
section. Twas received BY William J. Kirkland
in behalf Of the Section, in very appropriate adj
dress. Addresses were afterwards made by Free
derrick N. Read, cadet, and the Rev. L. X. Will
lie. We believe in the system Of bringing in
young recruits to the temperance army, and hope
that the partiality Of the ladies will give fresh
impulse to the section in this place.

The people Of the South, SO far from
regarding disunion as "inevitable, /"
look confidently for an honorable and
friendly compromise of existing difficult
ties, by which the links that bind Sate
to State will be rendered stronger than
adamant. So far from echoing the gull
ty aspiration that disunion is inevita-
ble," they would consider such an APP
palling consummation as blasting evil
dences of Almighty wrath, and could
contemplate it as the first Of those huge
downward leaps by which nations are
precipitated from prosperity and pow
or, to feebleness, degradation and con-
tempt. Thus believing, the South
stands prepared to support the Union,
even while exacting due respect fer her
rights. She is not to be driven out Of
this Union, but will maintain and up
hold it, in all its integrity. and with all
its guarantees. N. o. Bee.
A gentleman of Brunswick County,
writing as on business, takes occasion
to make some observations on political
topics. He will, we hope, pardon us
for transferring part Of his letter to our
columns. After an expression of his
views aversed to the meeting of a South
'crn Convention, he says:
al believe that the excited feeling
which exists in the country is really the
only impedimentin the way of an homo
rable and amicable settlement Of all the
matters in controversy between the
North and South. Only let reason and
common sense be substituted for pas
SIGN and prejudice, put all the Cling
mans of the South and the wretched ia
natics of the North in mad houses,
where they properly belong, and a very
speedy settlement would be effected,
entirely satisfactory to the great body
of the people of each section.
81 have been much gratified at the
stand you have taken on this question,
and only regret that Others in your
community, actuated no doubt by the
purest motives, have been induced to
take different course. | may be mis-
taken, but firmly and religioasly be-
lieve that the only safety to the coun-
try, and particularly to the Southern
section, is insavoiding unnecessary ex-
citement, and clinging resolutely to the
Union" WILMINGTON Chronicle.

On last Monday, Mr. Powell, the Wing can
dldate for the Legislature, addressed the people
of Amherst county. The Democratic candidate
Col. billiard, was present, but did not reply and
this course he pursued after the Democracy
had propounded intcrrogatories to Mr.. Powell
which he promptly answered The speech ol
Mr.. Powell was brief, but in it he did fall Justice
to the cause of which he is an advocate His
speech was manly and jealous vindiclton oi
the principles OF the Wing party, and his trl-
umph was complete. 1t is to be hoped that the
Wings of Amherst will not be inactive. They
owe Mr.. Powella Jealous support and in Justice
10 themselves as well as to him, this support
ought to be given. We arc glad 10 learn that
the friends ofMr. Powell are active, and they
need only continue so TO secure his election.

THE BLUNDERs OF TIE GREAT.

The shade of difference between mailman and
genius, has been thought to be but slight. This
is conclusion which is based upon the actions of
men of genius, and when resting upon portion
of these acts, does not seem to be incorrectly
based In fact, genius is seldom endowed with
sound judgment and discretion, hence ii is not
often the parent of practical schemes. 1t seems
10 be wrapt mp in mind and almost unified for
the physical world into which it is thrown In
teect is its sphere, and when it roves beyond its
confines, it seems to grope its way. 1t can teach
sound philosophy, frame beautiful theories. The
world applauds its philosophy and admires its the
cries But vet man OF genius is lost to the pIac-
teal transactions of every day life; commit them
to him and he is throw into new element, and
proceeds as awkwardy as child and in many in
stances as Silly as an idiot. This is the course
of genius, and hence it is that genius and indi-
gence are SO often united. Strange as it may APP
pear genius may succeed in winning fame, and
his name will descend 10 remote generations;
and yet this very genius will fail to secure the
means of sustenance. A genius may be rich In
fame, yet die in want.
But the evils OF genius do not stop here. While
ii is true, that exertion develops intellect, it is
equally trde that over exeron destroys its force -
impars its power. Genius is endowed with an
ambition, which prompts it to effort. And, uh-
fortunately, this ambition is often great man s
most potent foe. 1t is spirit which seeks notor-
ETY.; but having foundit i, does not abate, but aims
higher still, and seeks to soar above that which it
has gained. This ambition, tending to produce
such result, induces man to seize hold of those
means, the employment of which will result in
his elevation; and being an influence, which does
not permit man to be content with his present
condition, ii is ever urging him to greater actv-
ty and energy. Men of genius, forgetful of all
aims, save the acquisition Of fame, are too often
led by the power Of ap4r+on. Hence it is that
we often see genius cxerting its power TO its ut
most limit making an eXertion, which though it
may develop its latent power ovcrasks the en-
ergles of the mind, and impairs, by fatigue and
mlghtiness of effort the strength of intellect The
last moments of the great are, therefore, not I'M
frequently those of arrangement. Over exertion
otinteect often forces TO tell the sad tale that
tough the posseSSor of genius is still among US,
'he force and power of his intellect have de-
parted. 1t is possible however, for men of great
intellect to make over eXertions and yet escape
'lIs fatal effect, but it is impossible to make over
EFFORT and not feel the hand Of destruction. Over
EFFORT invariably impairs the power of the intel
ec'' and its effect is visbly traced in the produce
lions OF the mind. Such productions will be Wis
iohafv schemes, and contain conclusions based
upon false positions. The mind, under such cir
cumsances, seems to be unable to grasp truth
ana frame any thing Of practical natuIe. The
