CAPT. BUCK.-We some time since described
the wreck of the Baltimore schooner Tybee, on
her way to Savannah, and the trials of the pas
sengers, officers and crew. The Jacksonville
Fa.) Republican, of the 9th ult., verifes our
account, in a narrative communicated to the ed
itor by Captain Buck himself, and concludes BY
saying: 1--WE are happy to find Captain Buck
and family in safety at the point of their origin
al destination; but regret that Capt. B., who il
in delicate health, experienced much physica
suffering from the misfortune of which he wa
one of the sharers."

"a Reems Creek Division, in Buncombe
county, celebrated its first anniversary last
week. It's members have erected a nice, CON-
modious Hall for the meetings of the Division,
and the cause is fourishing in that community.
Perhaps no Division in the State has had more
violent opposition with which to contend than
has this; yet through the indomitable perse-
verance of its members, it has advanced and
taken such a hold upon the good will of the
.virtuous, intelligent portion of society, that il
can now defy the malice and traducings of its
enemies.
They have built their fame of honor
On the corner stone of right,
All the virtues will shine on her,
In the glory of their might.

~ We assure our brothers of the New
York Organ, that we had not the most remote,
idea of CHASING that journal among the enc
mics of the South, in a recent number of our
paper, in which we spoke of Southerners pat
ronizing certain Northern publications, thus
{ giving aid and comfort to the enemy We
have often spoken in terms of commentator
of the Organ, and we here, again, ~reiterate our
convictions of it's excellence and it's freedom
from anti-southern fanaticism. We nave new
er seen anything in it that should place it I'M
der. the ban of the South, but, on the contrary,
have read with pleasure strong rebukes to the
fanatics of the North. But, while we say this
much with pleasure concerning the Organ, we
do say that there are many papers and periodi-
Gals of the North, and which are circulated in
the South, that are our worst enemies and to
these, and such as these, we alluded, in our Op-
position to their circulation in our midst-and
we are sorry the Editors of the Organ should
wish to place themselves in this category. We
have not done SO neither are we 8 ashamed of
the sentiment hitherto advanced by us, con-
corning our 8 enemies at the North. We think
the Editors of the Organ should be ashamed
for thrusting themselves in such company,
where they do not belong, so far as we have
seen. We say again, the New York Organ is
not of the class reprobated in our former arti-
Gle, and we are astonished at the personal APP
pIication the Editors have made OF it. We do
not take back, nor are we ashamed of what
we have heretofore said on this subject but
on the contrary re-endorse it, rerbGtim, ct lit
erdtim.

B RESPONSES.

The proposition to enlage our Paper upon
condition of our list being IinSTe 1000
subscribers. seems in a fair ~
IZed. Large accesslons have already been
made-our friends in Tarboro' have added 20
names to their large list at that place-Aver-
ashore has sent us 8, and a great many others
s., 3, 2 and l. We assure all who have thus
kindly and promptly responded to our appeal.
that their friendship is highly appreciated,
and we shall endeavor to return their favOrs by
presenting them with a paper worthy OF their
support. To our friends in Edgecombe, par
tieularly, we feel that an acknowledgement OF
our gratitude is peculiarly due. The Order OF
the Sons Of Temperance is but little over a
year old in that County, yet its citizens are al
ready far ahead of many others where it has
been established for several years; and there
are but two or three counties in the State in
which we have more subscribers than in Edge
combe. Another such list as we received last
week, will place her in the van.
We hope all friends of the cause will give
us their aid in reaching the fUe thousand sub
scribers We are aiming form that event, we
intend to enlarge our paper and greatly i'm
prove it in every respect. Let all who want a
good Southern family paper, send on their
names.

4 VALUABLE I~NvENrIoX.-A correspon-
dent of the North Bridgewater Gazette dcs-
cribcs an experiment tried on the Boston and
Providence railroad track, for the purpose of
aecertaining if letters can be sent 20 a distance
by means Of atmospheric pressure. To test
the practicability of the theory, there was
laid for about one mile a pipe, through which
the paper or papers were to pass. l am told
that those who have experimental are of opin-
ion that communication can be given in this
manner from Boston to New York in four
minutes, and that they are quite sure of sue
cess.

- We are asked the question: Can the
for membership of an expelled indi.
vidual, be entertained in a Division before the
six months prescribed BY the Constitution has
expired? We answer-Clearly not. See
Sec. 6, Art. Z, Cons. Sub. Div, and Sec. Is,
Art 10 DIDO. To admit one expelled before
the expiration of the six months, would be a
violation of these provisions.

Early this spring, a hoy came to the
school-room, who lived six miles off. He

children about here. | ven to him and
asked him if he would become a scholar
He lived too far off, and hadOnly come over
to see what a Sunday School looked like,
and if he liked it he would come again. On
the next Sabbath he came again, and was a.
mong the first there, and he had brought a
mother boy with him : to see.' Well, on the
next Sabbath four of the family, and others
out Of same neighborhood, were there. I got
them to spell a lesson. This boy was SO
pleased with our school, that he vent home
and persuaded his ~neighbors to have a Sab

two out of twenty can read, and only one
professor of religion is among them, who
can pray in public. This boy has learned to

From history, heh2 | thought you was
10 prove it from the Bible, and I'll have
nothing TO do with any society which
the Bible does not authorize. Now can
you find in the Bible anything about
the Sons of Temperance
You cannot find the plan of the Order
laid down in the Bible, Of course if you
could, the probability is, the Order would
have been instituted long ago; but the prin-
ciples of the Order you will find laid down
in a variety Of ways, and in various places,
from Genesis to Revelation. The princi-
pies of the Sons of Temperance are from
God, the plan is the work of man. By re-
ferring to your Bible, you will see that God
has given us rules for Temperance, Benev-
olence and Brotherly Love- and has made
it a duty incumbent on US to carry these
principles into practice and by referring to
the. history Of Alcohol, about the year 1841,
you will find the origin of the Order of the
Sons of Temperance. The Order has nc
claims to divine origin, any more than the
Aimitive Baptist Church, or any other de-
hoNa-tion.

1t is designed to make it equal to any Weekly
sheet in the Union for its general interest. In
tone and sentiment, it is Southern--its conductors
are Virginians. and they hope to merit and re-
ceive the encouragement of their feow-citizens.
They enter upon no mere speculation in their en-
terprize, nor are their views and opinions shaped
merely to catch the popular breeze. From edu-
cation, from position, from association, from in
terest, from choice, they are Southern men. Their
defence Of Southern rights is a defence of them
selves and all they hold dear;-that it has been
warm unremitting, and as far their capacity al
lowed, vigorous, no man who has read their sheet
will deny. To doubt that it will continue to be
so is to presume that the principles and ideas
which have been instilled into them from their
BIRTH can be eradicated at period Of life when
men rarely change their views. They, at least,
know it to be impossible.
