Exporter, of that city, gives the fol-

"The Sons of Temperance and the
Younger Brothers turned out in pro.

but great beauty. After trayersing
the principal streets, they repaired to
the Fair Ground. There, as we un-

several highly interesting addresses.

which they were indebted to the kind.

EEThe Rhode Island Maine Law

EET The Rhode Island Maine Law
went into effect on Monday last, July
18th, 1859, and the Massachusetts,
Maine Law, on Wednesday, July 2lst,
1859, and we may anticipate some
considerable excitement, for it ap-
pears from the present indications Oi
things in and about Boston, that there
will be strong resistance by the Rum
sellers and their party, to the enforce
ment of the law. On the other hand,
there is band of freemen in the old
Bay State, who are united in principle
and feeling, standing ready to aid in
executing their glorious Maine Law.
We shall anxiously await the result

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.

feyery Son OF Temperance IN Ohio,
in good standing with his Division,
would procure one new subscriber TO
the Organ, what list il would have,
and what tremendous influence for
good it would EXERT Or should every
officer of a Division send tne name
each, for the Organ, its present circu-
lation would be more than doubled,
and its influence increased more than
three fold These would be very de-
sirable results for the Organ folks, and
equally SO for the ardent supporters of
the cause. And how easily could the
''good time coming" be hastened upon
us ! A little exertion is all that is
wanting. Every "Son" should con-
slider it a part Of his creed, to increase
he circulation Of the exponent and ext
FOUNDER of the principles he processes
to hold sacred. As has been truly re-
marked, by contemporary, every true
Son and friend Of the cause, should by
his ACTS prove his faith and friend

of Acknowledgements would present a
more imposing appearance than it has
for several weeks past.
Again we are compelled to thank
our indefatigable Agent, Bro. A. W,

gan. He is determined to occupy the

pie on temperance, and never fails t.

take it upon himself to procure atlea'

BALTIMORE, Nov. %.

The U. S. mail steam ship Crescent City
Capt. Davenport, has arrived at New York
from New Orleans, ria Havana.
When she arrived at Havana she was per-
mittcd to enter the harbor, and her officers
were treated courteously. The passengers
and mails were landed, but Mr.. Smith, the
Purscr, was not allowed to go on shore, and
Captain Davenport was informed that his
vessel would not again be suffered to enter
the port if Smith was on board, to which
Capt. Davenport replied that Smith would
return in her, and that the Spanish authorities
would be held responsible for their conduct
should they attempt to exclude his ship.
This Intelligence has caused great excite
mcnt in New York, more especially as Capt
Davenport has given it as his opinion that he
expects to be resisted in attempting to land
Ir,sscngcrs and the mails on his next trip.

cy"Thc glorious principle of Free Land
to actual settlers has been agreed to by the
Legislative and Executive Government OF
Canada, and will presently be applied. A
tract of twenty four millions of acres, lying
mainly north east Of Lake Huron, in the IL
ttude of the American mining districts of
Lake Superior, though with wilder climate,
will, as soon as surveyed, be thrown open 10
the landless in gratutous tracts of lGO acres.
Alternate sections will thus be given away
without price, those lying between them be-
ing reserved for sale to cover the expenses of
surveying and opening the country to immi-
grants. We had hoped that our country
would be the first to adopt this great idea,
but Canada is ahead of u.s. The United
States will, we trust, not be far behind.

his thirst with half pint of whiskey. In.

Chief Engineer, published in the Charleston

for the entire report this week, but give All
extract below. The Engineer, after tracing
the route, with great minuteness and detail
up to the Rabun Gap, and proving its prac-
ticability, continues
"From the Rabun Gap TO tho Tennessee
line, the course Of Survey was directly down
the valley of the Tennessee river to point
beyond the Smoky Mountains. From re-
ports made me by the Engineers, who prose-
cutcd that Survey, and on which | have en-

have not estimated or surveyed ms before

The whole distance Of the line from An
derson to the Tennessee line by actual inca.
surcmcnt is one hundred and forty-seyen and
one third miles. What it is from the Tonnes
acc line to the point of connection with the
East Tennessee and Georgia Railroad, We
cannot know, not having surveyed it; but it
will probably be reported in short time by
the Engineers now surveying that portion OF

charge:
Young man! keep your eye peeled when
you are after the women. If you bite at the
naked hook, you are green. Is aprctty dress
or form so attractive! Ora pretty face even.
F'lounccs, boy, are of no sort ofconsequcnce.
A pretty face will grow old. Paint will wash
of. The sweet smile of the iirt will give
way to the scowl Of the tcrmagant. The
neat form will be pitched into dirty Calico
Another and far different being will take the
place of the lovely goddess who smiled
sweet smiles and cat your sugar candy.
Keep your eye peeled, boy, when you are
after the women. If the little dear is cross
and scolds at her mother in the back room.
you may be sure that you will get particular
fits all round the house. If she apologies
for wiping dishes, you will need a girl to fan
her. If she bushes when found at the wash
tub with sleeves rolled up, be sure, sir, that
she is of the Goldfish alistocracy; little breed
ing and less sense. II you marry gal who
knows nothing but to commit woman slangh-
ter upon the piano, you have got the poorest
piece of music ever got up. Find the one
whose mind is right, and then pitch in. Don't
be hanging round like n sheep thief, as
though ashamed to be seen in the day time,
but walk up Ikea chicken to the dough and
ask for the article like q man."

surcs are dead, their authors and supporters
are demonstrated numb heads. The cause of
freedom can't be killed. Doughfaces are
doomed. The ProvsO is terminated into
life, the Baltimore platforms are set part as
the nations spit box, and hope for plundcrcd

Freedom are almost doubled, its moral re.
