P. WHITE.


W. have heard very little from Bro. White
since he left for the East. Owing to the break
ing down of the Cars, he failed to reach his
appointment at K~enansville, and not meeting
with a conveyance to Bear Marsh, a disap-
pointment was occas oned there also. He met
his friends in Onslow and Jones, the particu-
lars as to his success, we have not received
At Newbern he spoke on the night Of the 22d,
to a very large audience. The effort is highly
spoken of by the Newbern papers, and from
them we learn a dozen or more names were
handed in for initiation into the Order. Ow-
ing to there being no conveyance sent for him
from Beaufort, he did not visit that place. We
regret this exceedingly but Bro. w. has no
conveyance of his own, and it's essential to his
visiting a place that he be furnished with means
Of doing SO, or similar disappOintments viii oc-
cur again. We know the brethren of Beau.
fort expected to pay the expense Of Bro. w.
iftaken by public or other conveyance, but we
fear he was not apprised of the fact, as we can
not think he would wilfully have disappointed
them.
P. S. Since the above was in type, we
have learned that large numbers were pre-.
vented from attending Bro. White lee.
lures in Onslow and Jones, owing to the rum.
ocracy having circulated the report that be
was sick in Wilmington, with the small pox.
Notwithstanding, a considerable number
were added to the Divisions in those Coun
ties. At Kinston, large crowds attended
upon his lectures and much good was eiec.
ted. At Grecnyille several influential mel
were brought into the Order, and the names
of 81 Ladies procured for a Union of tn,
Daughters. He spoke in Washington Oh
Saturday last, but we have not heard thu
result.
His failure to go to Beaufort from New
bern, was owing entirely, 6Bso. w. assure
us) to bis being unable to procure a con
veyance.

GAMBLING.

At the commencement Of the winter We
warned young men of the danger Of being
entrapped in the gambling dens which were
then established in our City ; but some heed
ed not the warning, and suffered pretty So
verely. There are others who seem to have
formed a certain sort of friendship with pro-
fessed gamblers, and even speak symPathi-
zingly Of their many generous and noble
qualities. Alas they may find out, but
too late, that the thorough gambler Is
incapable of friendship. affection OF love
nay, these things are incomprehensible to
him. they are utsounds without significance
to his distorted and depraved perceptions
He has no faith in anything but Elsehooa.
no reverence for anything but gold.
But, as a cotemporary remarks, the mere
loss of money and time occasioned by this
odious pursuit, is but as a drop compared
with the ocean Of moral and social evil that
it involves. Who can picture the sorrowfof
the father and mother, the brother and sis-
ter. over the infatuated victim Of this terri
bic vice. Who can paint the anguish Of
the devoted wife. as she sees him around
whom her very heartstrings are enkHinsd.
day by day becoming slienated from his
home-as the eyes which once beamed upon
her with love and sympathy, dare not now
meet the appealing glanees Of her own
With sinking heart. she marks the hagzard
cheek, and hollow eyes; she traces the foot
prints Of care upon his pale brow, and feels
that be is whirling more and more rapidly IN
the vortex Of the Maelstrom, which viii o
ve~ntually engulf all she holds dear IN It's m
~satiate abyss. But the heaviest retribution
falls upon the poor victim himself. Once
subjugated by the fascination Of this odious
|. pursuit, he swiftly pursues bis maddening
t career till friends, fortune. reputation and
character, all are lost-lost forever. For
there is ne iedemptiOn for the ruined gambler.
Society shuns him-he feels that It's blight
and ban Is upon him. andhe feels too that Be
deserves il. His own selfrespect is gone, be
dare not assert his claims to manhood and
: equality with his brother men. for he knoKl
that the indulgence Of this debasing vice ha
: deprived him Of almost all that constitutes
man.

on earth is to act with an elevating pow

ANOTHER TEMPERANCE ESSAY.

We have just published for the Author, Rev.
John G. Averitt, an Essay on the Evils Of
Intemperance, and the Remedy" which we
think, either as a literary composition, or a
treatise e~mbodying much strong thought and
reasoning, not inferior to most of the produc-
tons we have read on the prolific subject of
Temperance. And not among its smallest re-
concentrations, We regard his position con-
corning the Order of the Sons of Temperance,
as being the great agency through which the
evil soforcibly made manifest, is to be rene
did. The objections to the Order are thor
oughly refuted, and the Author ably vindiea-
ties it from most of the false aspersions which
are heaped upon it. We hope it will be ex-
tensively circulated and read. Those DESTROYS
of procuring copies, can be supplied, by adj
dressing Rev. John C. Averitt, ForestvilIe,
Wake Co, N. c., on the following terms; Sin
gle 0 10 cents, so cents per dozen, 81 for
so copies, and 81 per hundred. None are
left for sale at this Office.
