"Greater extension of Education, Religion, and
Morality"
Is the fourth blessing of the Prophet, arising
from Dsunion. And it is so near an axiom that
there is only shadow Of proof admissible. But
in proof of the first we lay down the proposition
that the more colleges, schools, and institutions
we have the greater will be the extension Of Edu-
catiol,-and that number will be greatly enlarged
by Disunion. See the vast number of students,
male and female, from the South at Northern col.
lpges Say that there are one thousand students
from the South at the North yearly-and we sup
pose medical law, and literary there are more
allow an average expenditure of $500 for each
and we have fire hundred ihousand dollars, ex-
pended BY til. South at Northern cblleges-this
would build yearly and fill the professorships OF
five colleges in the Sou,h-sending out yearly t'ro
hundred and fifty young men, classical scholars
But you must observe this rule works according
to geometrcal progression, each Of these gradu-
ates would have his crce-each would have his
profession to adorn-each would add a new Iustre
to southern lilies letters, andeach engender in the
minds of many, love of Education. The SCI
ences, which are subservient to we'll organized &C.
nius-and cumulative to genius in return-would
by being improved and heightened, throw all i'm
petus back in the cause OF Education. But how
would it a fleet Religion? We answer. as did the
Lnlher Secession, Thai threw purer gospel into
the hands of Literary Germany-that scattered it
like the morning light over benighted Europe
This would throw the Bible upon the wings of
commerce we spoke of in former number, and
herald the glad tidings of Peace, wherever the
footsteps of man roam or his spirit feels want.
As we before observed, cotton, the result of slave
labor, has sent the gospel to more of the heathen
world than all Abolitiondom combined.
With the mighty aid of that extended education
which above we have shown would follow Dis
union, and the fifty millions that we now pay TO
support an abolition government, reserved :or our
treasury, we would have an o1lHipotrnt lurd so
far as human wealth could make il. NJ home
there would be ar extension Of religion. There
would be no prejudice against this or that den2m-
ination, for fear they lea"ed little toward sub
mission. We would not feel anger rising in our
bosoms, when we saw a stranger rise in the pul-
pit, and whisperingy ask, 81 wonder if he is not
Yankee?' for the simple reason that they would
not come amongst us then, unless they came to
remain. and become naturalized. AT home and
abroad there would then be greater extension Of
Religion And if Of Religion and Education, Mo-
rality would follow as matter of course. And
were the most tame hearted of all submssonist
to ask us what good would follow Dsunion, would
he not be fully satisfied to he told a"greater ex-
tension OF Education, Religion and Morality"

DISCUSSION.

Last Tuesday, during the recess OF the Court,
Mr.. Watts, Of Montgomery. and Col. Gayle, OF
Dallas, addressed the citizens Of the county up.
on the Southern question.
Mr.. Watts, was the champion Of the acquies.
cents, lediu speech Of two hours, endeavorlng
to prove that it would be better for the people
of; the South to submit to tie late action Of
Congress than to break up the government, or
rather, that there was no cause of complaint
upon the part of the South. Mr.. Watts is an
ingenious speaker, but this thing of trying to
prove that the South has not been wronged by
the late action of Cougress, is altogether an
uphill business with him, before a Southern
people having Southern feelings. 1t was, as
our friend Hardy Of the Guard says of him,
even with the help of prompfer, like pulling
the kart up the hill. Mr.. Watts labored hard,
dealing sometimes in the fanciiul but never d
cheer could he raise. 1t was all farewell bro.
ther Riggs.
Col. Gayle replied to Mr.. Watts, and en-
deavored to show by course of reasoning as
strong as facts could make it, that the institu.
ton of slavery would be abolished throughout
the United States, in less than five years. The
facts and arguments presented by Col. Gayle
were unanswerable. The Col upon this. as
welLas npent other questions, is no small an
tagonist and he handled MIR. Watts with de-
gree of severity which seemed to be particu-
larly gratifying to the crowd. He met with
frequent hearty cheers throughout. Submis-
sion speeches, such as Mr.. Watts, won't do in
the patriotic county of Lownds, and it is use.
less for men to preach such doctrine.

CONGRESS-

The Senate has been chiefly engaged on the,
civil and diplomatic appropriation bill, IN FIX
ing the mileage of members from California,
&c, and on Executive nominations.
The House has had under consideration the
appropriation bills, and among the various items
we notice that a proposition was made, in dis
cussing the Naval appropriation bill, to abolish
Aogging in the navy. Mr.. Evans, of MaryTd,
moved to abolish the spirit ration, very correctly
arguing, that if this was done there would be n o
necessity for the abolition Of the Aogging. The
proposition was agreed to in committee Of the
whole.
Mr.. Venable moved further to amend, by
adding provided, also, that neither wine nor
ardent spirits shall be used by the officers on
board ship whilst in actual service, except as
medicine" Mr.. ". said he was opposed to feed
ing Jack with one spoon and those with but
tons and epanlettes with another; and then de-
stroyed an the good he had done and said, by
declaring that he was in favor Of letting Jack
have his greg and the Jogging too. Several
other members uttered the same disreputable
sentiment.
We regret to hear men upon the floor Of
Congress taking the side of cruelty and drunk-
~enness; we fear the pertinacity with which
they cling to the latter, but augurs too strongly
their own love for the critter; but ifthey had
to feel the lash, for the many disgracefA acts
committed IN the House, they would know bet
ter how to sympash;ze with poor Jack kGn-
not be proved that stripes or grog ever yetmde

Philanthrophy and reform, who would advocate
either. We think the q MILDLY" and the Cap

much of the cruelty on sEp-board is owing X
drunken commanders. Win those who speal

try it!
P. S-Wes see by our last Washington pa
pers, that when the bill as amended in comils
tee of the whole, abolishing Rogging and grog
was submittedtO the House, the grog restriction
was stricken o1l, but the Roeging was abolished
, Well this IS one step IN the work Of reform, an,
We do not despair Of the other.

THE p%RUNKARD,s WIFE.

Above all others, woman has the highest
personal interest in the success Of the tenn
perance cause, for upon none has the curse
of intemperance fallen more heavily. The
sanctuary Of home, which she seems peculi-
arly fitted to adorn, is the field in which she
must reap most of her earthly ~enjoyments.
How awful then must it be when that little
sanctuary is invaded by the demon rum, and
profaned by the drunkard's presence. IT'S
not the drunken husband, son, or brother,
who feels all the keen torrents Of such a
home. No, it is the wife, mother, or sister,
who knows all the trials and affection that
cluster there. Though the man drains the
cup, still the dregs at the bottom are left for
the woman. He can 20 into the world for
companionship and comfort, she must find
hers in solitude at home. The excitement
furnished by public amusements and plea
sures are open to him but for her, there is
no relief save that found in tears ct her own
lonely hearthstone.
1t is not alone from these circumstances
that her keenest sorrOws arise. Cold and
hunger, poverty and sickness could be en-
blurred, if they were all ; but there are others
that she will tell you, exceed these. Il is
loss Of the compromising of him who had
promised to protect and defend her. To
have the consciousness that he for whom she
had left home, friends, and fortune. and a.
round whose heart she had entwined the most
sensitive feelings Of her nature, was becom-
ing a senseless brute. Give her a compan-
ion whose feelings are not destroyed by rum
who has pure and warm affections, such as
first won her from the parent roof-and she
will patiently bear the loss Of everything
else, But tear these off the domestic altar.
and what has the world to give her in ex
change for them. Nothing, absolutely moth
ing. The freshness of her heart viii withel
| and die-she viii mourn over the crushed
hopes and blighted prospect. and life viii b.
. endured rather as a ~providential affection
than as the source Of happiness.
