WooDvILLE, N. c., June 7, 1858.
While the whole State seems to be at this
time excited on the subject of temperance,
this section is not unlike other portions but
perhaps we are laboring with more zeal in
the cause than in many other parts /; and that
not without effect ; for opposition is not as
great now as it has been. | think we
our success more than any thing else, to the
efforts of the ladies of this section. A few
days since our Division was invited by the.
ladies of Durant's Neck to come down and
help them do something in the cause of tenn
perance, for they wereresolved that a society
or Division should be formed in their neigh
borhood that their fathers, brothers, hus-
bands and 6saur should be saved from drunk
enness, to which their temperate drinking
would LEAD them.
We met at New Hope Church. and were
entertained with an address from Brother G..
Copeland. The speech made such an i'm
preston on the congregation, that at it's close
the ladies arose from their seats and with
pencil and paper went through the cOngre-
CATION to every man who was not a Son of
Temperance Except one fellow who stole a
Son of Temperance regalia and put it on to
keep them from him which shows that when
the ladies work, men nave either to skulk or
surrender at discretion) to get their names
for a society or Division. Twas told they got
some twenty or more names, among which
were some who had violently opposed the
cause heretofore. The whole congregation
was then invited out to partake Of many gooC
things which the ladies had prepared.
Our Division that night had eight proposit
ions for membership, we have GO members
now, a good house which belongs to US, an,
money in the Treasury with which to aid GU
sick brothers but we find from experienc,
that when men do not drink alcohol, they ar
not sick much.
As regards the %prohibitory law, I think m,
sentiments and those of the whole Division
to be: that we will vote for no man for any of
tice whatever, that we know is opposed to tn
passage of a law that will entirely abolish th
sale OF ardent spirits as a beverage. Thet tel
gallon clause is not approved Of here, eithe
by liquor sellers or Temperance men, bu
the entire prohibition, SO as to place ever
man on an equality. R.

believing that every attempt direct or indirect

HeA- John Cameron, Esq, formerlyo of Hills
boro,' has issued Proposals for publishing a
paper at Beaufort, N. c. to be called "The
Halcyon and North Carolina Intelligencer."
He says in his Prospectus:
The Intelligencer will be emphatically a
NORTH CAROLINA journal, exerting all its in
Auence for the advancement of UER interests,
and yielling an ardent support to EVERY
measure of Internal Improvement calculated
to render AVAILABLE, and profitable, those
immense internal resources, Of which nearly
every day presents some new Development.
In politics, the Intelligencer will be DEcr-
DEDLY WING, but by no means q mere parti-
san sheet. Political discussion will find it's
own proper time anil place; but there are
interests at the present time, whose claims
upon the energies of our Citizens are far SUI
perior to those which any mere NATIONAL
PARTY can possibly present. Party has had
it's day everything has beon sacrificed to it.
Though worn proudly as a badge of distinc-
ton, it has proved a collar and Il chain, TIE
ING down the strength of the State, and check
ingheradvancement. Theefort, then, should
be on the part Of all, to chang, if possible,
this PARTISAN ZEAL, into an anxiety for
State az grandisement. This will be emphat
cally the aim of the Intelligencer, and upon
THIS avowel policy, tif presenting no other
claim it would frankly request the patron
age of every North CArolinian.
