ness, the destructive depravity of the other, that
even at this short period, after the eyes of the
people have been opened and their understand
ings enlightened on this subject, there should be
any necessity for the watehfulness of temperance
organizations that there should be any opposit-
ion in a christian land to this h~eaven-born enter
prise, ever distributing good and counteractfng
evil? But so it is; and it proves to us the for
midable nature of this deep-seated malady in the
moral system; it evidences the power of this gi
gantic hydra, and the fearful tenacity of its de
moniac grasp upon our country. It gives {
warning to temperance men and temperance so
%eieties, to stand fast to the enterprise, to perse
we're in the good work, and continue to strength
en- themselves, SO long as a semblance of opposi
ton remains in the land.

The last Milton Chronicle states that Edward
P. Hawkes., Esq, of that place, was accidentally
drowned, on the 2sth ult., in Dan River, while
engaged in bathing. The deceased was a native
of Massachusetts,, but had resided in Milton for
the last twelve years. He was a young gentle
man of polished education and a high order Of
talents, and was much beloved and respected by
all the community, He had charge of the Mil
ton Male academy for several years but had
been engaged, for the last six years, in the mer-
camille business, which he also had recently a
handoned, and was making preparations to GO
West to teach school. His body had not been
found. He was a member of the Order of the
Sons of Temperance, and the Division at Milton
nobly resolved to continue the search for the
body Of their lost brother until it was found.

CONSTITUTIONAL VETo UPON RUM.-The
light Of ~teetotal truth and reason, is OCCASION
ally seer breaking through the eloudso of num-
ocratic darkness and error, in various parts
Of THE country. Winconsin not long since
proclaimed by provision in her new consti-
tuition. that the sale of Intoxicating drinks
should no more be licensed, or sancti6ed by
law in that State, and now the great State,
of Ohio, in population and wealth, the third
in the Union, initiates the noble example Of
her young sister, by inserting the following
veto upon the rum traffic, into the Constitu-
ton, which her State Convention has recent
" revised and adopted, viz -
mo license for the traffic in intoxicating
liquors. shall hereafter be granted in this State:
but the General Assembly may by law pro
vide against evils resulting therefrom."
Thus the Legislatures Of these two States
have no power to plant but have ample DOW
err to cut up by the roots, the evils Of intoxi-
eating beverages. We commend these facts
to the consideration of the Legislators of N.
Carolina, and other States of the Union.
The spirit of the age" IS becoming less and
less alcoholic, and laws, as well as aconstitu-
tons" must be made more and more in con
formity with the same.

EPISCoPAL

The convention Of the Protestant Episco-
pal Church ofN. Carolina, assembled at st.
Johns church on Wednesday last. Moth
ing of interest occurred until the afternoon
session of Thursday. The committee Of in
vestigation appointed some II months since
to inquire into the ecclesiastical course Of
Bishop Ives, having offered their report, Mr..
Z. r.. Mallett introduced a resolution to re-
commit the report to an increased committee.
This gave rise to a very animated and spicy
debate upon the point Of order, in which Mr..
Collins, Mr.. Mallett, Mr.. Haughton, Mr..
Strange, and Mr.. Badger participated. The
resolution was withdrawn, and Mr.. MaIlett
moved to dispense with the reading of the
report, which motion was very ably debated
by the gentlemen above named, and by Mr..
Hines and the Rev. Mr.. Smedes. The mo
ton was lost by a vote of20 to 7 of the cler-
Icy, and 9 to 0 of the parishes, there not be-
ing a concurrence of both orders.
The doors were then closed and the spec
tators prohibited from hearing the reportread
by a vote of32 to 80. At the latest hour
at which we heard from the Convention, the
! doors had not been ~re4ePened. DIR. Mason
Oh 1sdlelg0 was IN the Cnalr.
Fayetteville C~arotinian, 3Ist alt.
The attendance upon the Convention was
: much more full than has ever before, we be-
lieve, been known IN the Diocese.
This was caused by the troubles which
e have occurred within the last three years in
regard to an alleged Romish tendency in the
a teachings and practices ofthe Bishop and some
IS of the Clergy,-ehiefy or altogether those
J. brought here from other States. The Bishop
has made to this Convention a full and mos
emphatic retraetion Of all those offensive doe
! trines al dpractices, which he attributes main
y to violent diseases, which prostrated hi
! mental and physical system.
While we write TINS, ION Monday,1 a pro
= position IS pending to appoint an assstan
Bishop.
'y P.S. The resolutions in regard to an As
sistant Bishop have been withdrawn, and
OF satisfactory arrangement Of all difficulties ha
been unanimously agreed to, under circun
in stances of impressive soIemnity.
on The Convention is still in session.

DEATH OF REV. J. B. BUXTON.

gence of the death of the Rev. Jarvis b. Bcx-
ton, rector Of St. Johns (Episcopal) Church
in this place. This unhappy event occurred
on Friday morning the S0th msi., at half past
8 o'clock. He was taken sick ON "Wednesday
morning. Mr.. B. removed hither, we believe,
from Elizabeth City, and took charge Of this
church in May. 1881, a few DAYS before the
destructive FIRE Of the 18th May Of that wear,
in which bis church was destroyed. By his
active exertions, it was speedily rebuilt At
any time this event would have been mourn
fully affecting TO his numerous friends and to-
the community, but at this particular ~junctnre
it has cast over every one a melancholy gloom

FIRE.-Early on Friday morning last the
citizens of this place we're startled by the cry
of fire. 1t caught in the smoke house of Mr..
John C. Moore, on Fayetteville Street, and
was soon communicated to the kitchen, which
were entirely consumed. The dwelling houses
and those contiguous to it we're saved only by
the greatest exertions; and from the fact that
it was a clear morning, scarcely a breath Of
air stirring.
We understand that Mr.. Moore lost all his
bacon and provisions, but succeeded in saving
his household and kitchen furniture.
1t is believed to have been the work of ar

on a hot morning, that the poor dew-drt ps

allowed to glitter on the flowers, like other
happier dew-drops, that live the whole ofthe
day through, and sparkle in the moonlight,
and through the morning EDWARDS to noon
day. 1.-THE sum- said the child, has chased
them away in his heat, or swallowed them up
in his wrath.p Soon after came rain, and
a rainbow ; whereupon his father pointed up
wards, "See,' said he, there stand thy dew
drops gloriously rosetta glitterng jewelrfy in
the heavens /; the clownish foot tramples on
them no more. BY this, my child, thou ar
taught, hat what withers on earth blossom:
