Mr.. EDIToR:-This is proverbially
quiet place. We have not much news
that will interest the readers of the
American, but still, they may be willing
TO read few lines from our locality -
We are citg-a city of 1000 inhabit-
arts, quiet, orderly, Industrious citizens
"a city of broad clean streets, lined
with good dwelling and business houses,
ornamented with shade trees, and alive
with busy men and handsome women,-
and such children!! The children of Ri
sing Sun never were equalled.
This is a remarkably healthy place as
well as quiet. Our Physicians have as
little to do as our Lawyers, Our min
listers commend US for our good morals
but Task us severely for our wan. of piety.
They think they are right and perhaps
they are. We are church going COM
munity, we work for our living and pay
our debts, but it is fact we do not do
all that is enjoined upon us from the
pulpit. There is an establishment here
that is areproach to our town-city 4
mean. That is a vile distllery, situate d
right at the Steam Boat landing. A con-
Germ that rolls out forty barrels of whis-
key per day--lorty barrels Of tears and
groans--of infamy, anguish and death.
The doleful hum OF its machinery seems
a mockery Of the stifled groans of widow
hood and its destruction of corn, deri-
sion of the orphans cry for bread, while
the black smoke ascending in heavy
clouds from its furnaces reminds one o.
"the smoke If their torment that ascend
eth up for ever and ever" understand
God is blessing our distillers with heavy
losses, and it is to be devoutly hoped
that they will soon break up as did their
predecessors, and be led to repentance
that their souls may be saved. SO mot,
il be.
We have two papers in our town al
you know. Either is a credit to the
place. Mr.. French, the Editor of tn,
Republican is a man Of indomtable ell
ergy. Mr.. Graft, Editor of the Pennan
is young man, but bids fair to beco me
an honor to the corps editorial. Now
Sir, unfortunately, these gentlemen ar,
at loggerheads. And there are not
few o 1 their friends who are seriously ap
prehensive that these brother-in- law ed
itors, are about 10 afford another X
Kenny Cat story. A quarrel is Away
disgusting, Mr.. Editor, and we are sur
prised that intelligent gentlemen, sucl
as Messrs. French aud Graft, when they
talk and think of catering to the publ,
taste, do not bear il in mind.
Ii we dare we would say kindly t
! these gentlemen "see that we fall not on
by the way for We are brethren.
Yours in Faith Truth a. Temperance
| JESSE.
We have noticed, with much regret I'll
course of the editors alluded to by OF
correspondent. When newspaper ed
tors obtrudc their personal quarrels up
on their respective readers, they deser'
10 be starved out. We would not alo'
such papers to enter our family. Ed
+ tors have no more right to parade the
: private wrongs and private spites befol
0 the public, than other people, aud "
hope to see the time, when all such ed
tors will BIO brought to their reason !
the prompt dlseontnuance Of their pr
! pers. They are a nuisance In any con
( munity. We have cut OF from our o.
|, change list some papers that thus abuI
. their readers. We have yet borne wit
4 tho Rising Sun papers In hopes the goo
y sense Of the editors would correct Il
i fault alluded to by Jesse En-. AN.
