Spirit of the age. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1849-1865, 1850-09-06

Us In entering upon our second Volume,
we have determined to abandon the practice Of
publishing long Addresses, &C., except in cases
Of rare merit and excellence, and then in bro
ken doses in order that our Paper may every
week present a varied and agreeable repast to
our readers Most addresses present but the
RECOMMENDATION of the evils of intemperance
and the blessings of temperance, having no
marked novelty sufficient to induce general Pc
rusal. When delivered, they strike and please
the hearers, surrounded as they are by the en-
thusiasn and pomp of display; but when re-
duced to the dull, leaden page, lose much Of
theif charms. Hereafter, then, all such matters
sent to us for publication, must be subject to our
own pleasure, whether to publish entire, or on
y to make such extracts as we may deem most
advisable. We shall endeayor to deal fairly by
all, and give offence to none. That ALL will
be better pleased with this arrangement, VIC
think the sequel will clearly show.
These remarks are made with no invidious.
ness towards any we have heretofore published
and as we have none on hand now, they eannoI
apply III this respect to the future. To NEE
the general wish of our subscribers, and pro
mote the cause in which we are engaged. are
the only motives by which we are prompted il
the matter. i

WHAT m - D0Nr

When We commenced the publication Of the
Divisions of the Order=of the Sons of Tempep
ance in North Carolina. Since that time, they
have increased to more than 10, and are week
ly increasing. Then, they were known to a
small portion of the State only; now, they are
scattered throughout our entire borders, there
being but few Counties which do not feel its
renoyating influences. Now, we have an ar
gument in behalf of the Order which we had
not then-iti is the club Of Hercules, which none
can resist. A tree is known by its fruits. Ex-
pellence tests every inst mtion. Look at the
effects which have resulted from the spread of
our Order throughout the country. Where dis
order, disturbances and drunkenness before pre-
vailed, peace, harmony and concord have been
substituted. Ruined husbands and drunken
sons have been reformed, and made kind faith
ers and loving brothers. The smiles of pros
perity and happiness have taken up their abode
where the blighting and desoIating breath of in
temperance had poisoned the social atmosphere.
The hurricane had swept the land, but the spi-
rt Of renovation follows 10 repair the ruin
The ocean storm had lashed the waters into bill
lows, but the Sons Of Temperance pour the Of

and debauchery prevailed, now tell by thei

e The Editor of the Lincoln Courier SAYS,
IN speaking of the shortncss of the grain crops
in that region " We shall have to send to E.
gypt for corn, if the '%stillers continue to use up
the old corn, while 50 many are on the point Of
starvation. Hundreds of bushels are weekly
bought and sold for this purpose, whera many
are threatened with starvation
We suppose the "'stillers,' and buyers and
sellers Of Lineoln, are something like the fell
low met with by a traveller though the great
Miami valley. Looking out upon the luxuri-
ant waving grain, which promised a most album
dant harvest, the traveller inquired what they
would do with such an immense profusion Of
corn. eOr replied the "'stiller," 1--WE guess
