Sealing the Pledge.

When the lips of beauty become enlisted in
the cause of temperance, the mission of the
lecturers is well nigh over. Who would no,
take temporary pledge if sealed by such
ceremonials as the Charlottesville Je6ersoniaa
describes in the following melting paragraph
How can the flavor of whisky punches, or even
the far-famcd Virginia mint juleps, compare with
the sweets so freely rifed from the ruby lips Of
the yet more seductive daughters of the Old
Dominion! Are those books open for more
signatures? We only ask for information. The
JeGersonian says;
"Without disparagement to any other part OF
the glorious old Commonwealth, we think the
delegation from Petersburg were fit representa-
tives1 of the old Cockade, and we doubt whether
our brother Drinkard was ever kissed by so
many pretty ladies in one day, ns he received
last Monday morning just as the cars were about
leaving. He will soon bear off the palm from
Henry Clay, if he meets with similar success
elsewhere"
The poet evidently anticipated brother Drink
kard" in the aspiration which he has reduced to
a reality: y.-
"But leave kiss within the cup
And | III not ask for wine"
Though compared with the grosser stimulant
the lines of another might well apply;
I" That raises mortals to the skies,
This brings the Angels down."

A Sign Of the Times.

Every one knaws that during the notification
missionists seek to assimilate, the present
struggle for life and liberty there existed in that
State an Union party---a minority distinguished
for the high character and ability of its members,
whose devotion to the Union then was i'm
measurable. But the aggresslons of the North
have roused up to righteous Indignation these
true lovers of the Union, and the revulstion of
their sentiment Is as striking as it Is complete
The following statement from the (FaGfeld S,
c. Lerald) shows where that serried phalany

Sufficient returns have been received to de-
termine the question as to which party will have
the asceudency in the next Legislature, which
meets on the 25th November next. There will
be Democratic majority on joint ballot of from

The attempts of certain pugnacious paci-
fcators at the South to arrest the progress of the
resistance movement, reminds us irresistibly OF
the feat attempted with equal audacity, by the
hero of the following anecdote, which we find
in an exchange:
AN EQUAL MATCH" We never saw a more
forcible exemplifcation of the sublime and ri
diculops,' than we witnessed to-day, while stand
ing on the railroad bridge at YorkvIle, watching
the approach of n train from the city. Onward
came the fiery dragon of steam, with snort, and
rumble, and roar, while country dog, on bank
near by, was watching it with a dilating eye.
As it neared he gave short quick bark, and
1 went forth to meet the foe.' He rushed down
the bank, and, as if he were merely seizing va
grant pig, was about to take the locomotive by
the ear, when we heard single scream, like the
top nate Of II fiddle, and then all was still The
train swept on, and while we were thinking,
/ supposing it had been a man there came
limping slowly up the hank our four-footed
brave When he reached the bridge, he looked
after the train, fitting into distance, shook his
ears, and said, in as plain English as ever a dog
spoke in the world, ain afraid made liuie
mistake in challenging that fellow. didn't ex-
actly know his breed And after licking his
fore-foot, he lmped away, a sadder and wiser
dog
SO will the Southern movement sweep mn es-
tcally along-and so will its assnilauts limp
away from the contest, sadder if not wiser for
the heavy fall they will encounter

passed away forever, and the man who should
attempt to revive them would deserve and will
receive coat of tar and feathers for his pains.
We say to our friends abroad that we are one,
and more than that, we are ready. The contest
upon the Southern question has been fought
here, and the battle won long since. Submis-
sionists enough to make mile posts between
Charleston and Columbia, can scarcely be found
in the State. Indeed, so rare would be q speci-
men of this kind, natipe born, that we doubt
not, Banum could make as great fortune
by his exhibition, as that of Tom Thumb.

THE WIFE OF KOSSUTU.

Al the time when all was lost 10 the
lIungarians and Zach had to seek his
own safety in flight, Gov. kossu.h and
his lady, who accompanied her husband
throughout the war, thought il best TO
seperatc, in order that one Of them, if
possible, might save their lives, for the
sake Of their children, who had been
left under the protection OF their grand
mother. The governor determined 10
remain with his brave officers, still with
him, and to share their fate. Madam
X. informed her husband, and female
friend the wife Of an officer, where she
would endeavor to seek safety; and AS
every moment was precious this lady
clothed herself as beggar; her hus-
band gave her his signet ring. and the
seal OF the government Of Hungary.

commenced her sad and faiiguing jour-

Thus, she continued on, until she
