10 The result Of the late election in this
county, astonislicd our Union friends more
than il did the fifc-eatcrs. Bets Of two to
one, were offered by the fiepds of Colonel
Stewart, but il was only occasionally that
a sab could be found to take bets, even
when the lrc-eaters offered to give so
votes. A Union friend has permitted us to
make the following brief extract from n
letter he received from one of the most
prominent Union men in this county.
"Rest assured that we are stretching ev-
cry nerve to its uttermost tenure Tor the
Union but all we eau do is TO make y
firm stand for Vcntrcss. To say nothing

FOR THE SPIRIT OF THE AGE.
A SUGGESTION TO DIVISIONS.

1t frequently happens that, beyond the
usual routine Of business, there is not much
to interest. Familiarity with the usages of
the Order, beautiful as they are, has a ten
dency to detract even from the charm that
interests them. A want of interest is mani
tested, and consequently there is not a full
attendance. Here is a fruitful our Of de-
lection from our ranks, and some literally re-
turn to their "wallowing in the mIre -
To remedy these evils, | would suggest that
a Committee be appointed to select some
member Of the Division, or of a n%eighboring
Division, to deliver an address, or to read
an essay on Temperance, or on some kin
bred subject. This should be done once in
two weeks, or at least once a month. SIEVE
raj advantages would follow.
l.. The great object of shielding our
selves from the evils of intemperance, would
be more likely to be secured. The unfor-
tunate inebriate, who has commenced a life
of sobriety, needs ''line upon line" in the
fearful struggle for freedom. Let him hear
from one of his brethren, of the incalculable
evils of the destroyer-let the subject be
presented in all its varied forms, and pressed
upon his consideration land it willhave a pow
erful influence in confirming him in the right
way.
2. This plan would secure a better atten-
dance. Those who feel their weakness, and
need to be strengthened, would naturally re-
sort to the place where they are most likely
to be benefited and encouraged. But the
very fact that, a neU speaker is to hold
forth, will induce many to attend. They
will be curious and anxious to hear whar
hiS-memher can say /; what view of the sub
; ject he will take, and what impression hi
will make. Here, then, a new interest i
, walked up, and kept up, and the Division
prospers.
8. This plan has intellectual advantages
One object of the Order is, to elevate on
/ characters as men" The composition AM
/ delivery of addresses and essays, will stim
ulate members to think, and study and rea,
on the subject, and much information wi
be gained and distributed. Many an Other

n our usefulness. It tends to enlighten an
e strengthen the mind, and to the impartatio
e of the knowledge we gain. Men may b
