The Editor Of this paper, for some
time past, has been railing out bitterly
against the temperance cause and
temperance men. He has manifested,
in an eminent degree, the fury and
spleen of his animosity to this great
reform, with a veracity as pliable and
elastic as a thunderbolt on elliptic
springs. He finds no difficulty in
making language tell the most strange
and monstrous absurdities about any
thing that may excite his attention.
No party is stranger to his slang,
but that which conforms to his "high"
notions Of perfection; no enterprise
exempt from his withering epithets,
but such as meets his appreciation and

to reduce the Organ to fifteen cents, Ito clubs

merely for the purpose of increasing our
list of patrons. We print and send out this

This circulation will do an immense service
for the cause, and if it was increased to
twenty thousand, our usefulness wOuld be
twO-fold. We urge our friends to keep the
ball in motion.

In this State, the friends of govern
mental protection from the greatest
curse that ever scourged the human
race, have drafted a prohibitory
liquor law, and submitted it directly
to the people, for their consideration
and approval; and when the Legisla'

every woman who approves the principles and objects
Of this Society," and wishes to promote its interests
consider herself member and see to it that her town
and county are represented
Business Of importance is to come before the meet
ingi in addition to which, reports we trust will be
presented from all parts Of the State; and short ad
dresses from Mrs Gage and others may be expected.
The present is an important crisis in the progress
Of the Temperance reform in Ohio, and while there is
great reason for Encouragement and hope there is
heed that every lover Of the cause should put forth
nnWonted energy in its behalf at the present time.
Woman's Suferings from intemperance are mani
fold and immeasurabe; none have greater induce
ments than she to labor for its oVerthrow; and it is
conceded by ALL that woman can do much to aid this
noble enterprise. Let us, then, have full meeting
and free consultation to our future mode Of action
and we will hope before another year has passed, to
disband with Maine Law triumph.

addressed two meetings in Fulton county
and my sentiments were enthusiastically re-
ceived. On reaching Saratoga, ! found it
quite difficult to secure quarters, so great
was the multitude of visitors. The num-
Der at this most fashionable watering place,
is greater this season than at any former
period. 1t is accounted for by the exces-
sive heat in the large cities. Of course
those who come to the Springs, do so for
variety of reasons. Some who are broken
down in health, are here, with the hope of
restoration, but the great majority come to
see and be seen, display fine clothes, dance,
firt and kill time. The Goldfish aristoc-
racy" are decidedly the most numerous
class. Moustachied dandies, with more
hair than brains, flourish with those of the
opposite sex who have nothing to recon-
mend them but external accomplishments.
"The rigging is worth more than the hull"
in all such cases. OF course, Champagne is
in demand. Such creatures could not live
without stimulants, and their lives are no
blessing, and their deaths would be no loss.
Among the distinguished personages here,
would mention Father Gavazzi, the italian
patriot and orator. This afternoon / had
the pleasure of hearing him in the grove
near Congress Spring. A stage was erected,
and seats were provided for a number, yet
majority of the large audience were COM
PEELED to stand. Father G.. is over six feet
in height and fine proportioned, dark COM
plexioned, very fearless expression of coun-
tenance, aud about 50 years of age. A long
flowing robe of black, with large cross
wrought in the breast, was the only dress
visible. He speaks English very imperfect
ly, yet it is readily seen that he is an i'm
passiOned orator. His subject was "Civil
and Religious Liberty" He demonstrated
that civil liberty was possible only where
the Bible was in the hands of the masses,
and where religious freedom was universal.
He insisted that Catholicism was wholly
autagonistic to Republican Institutions, and
utterly at war with civil and religious liber-
ty, and warned us of the danger of Danish
ing the Bible from Common Schools. If he
visits Cincinnati, as doubtless he will, l
predict he will command considerable at
tention.
The State Fair is to be held here this fall,
and the temperance men are preparing to
have protracted meeting of four days dur
ing the Fair.

Immediately cannonaded by the whole
magazine Of his wrath, and scorched
and singed from stem to stern BY the
burning missiles of his ihvective mind.
Only few days ago, because two
northern papers made misstatements
in regard to Gen. Cary's politics, one
calling him "freesoiler' and the
other democrat" he was awfully
put out, and, to relieve himself Of the
disagreeable sensation it gave him, he
Immediately turned in and gave pub
licity to ''lie,' in comparison with
which, theirs, boiled down to the
very quint-essence Of ''mendacity,"
would ''whiten into virtue"
He charged in wholesale terms upon
Gen. Cary, that he is a most ultra,
uncompromising "Whig;; J" that self
promotion is the chief end and aim of
all his labors, and that he is crafty,
INSCRIPTIONS demagogue. Now, we
brand these statements as unqualified
" base and calumnious, the bastard
ofsprings Of a heart always pregnant
with the vilest, mercenary motives.
We now say, once for all, that Cary,
though he has acted with the Wing
party heretofore, is resolved and de-
termined to support no other than
strictly nMaine Law" ticket at the
coming election and we also state,
knowingly, that he seeks no "ofice'
in the gift of the people. Now, if
Mr.. Enquirer can smell out any loop
hole of demagogism in that, he de-
serves reputation for keenness and
profundity of intellect, such as is
very seldom possessed by men. Quite
recently, he and the "Times" have
been engaged in regular bulldog
tussle, the matter in controversy be-
ing, which came out first in opposi-
ton 10 the Maine Law, each claiming
that "honor." Oh! what a boon
when gained; what balm to a phi
lanthropic mind The thought of
having been first to "oppose" the
salvation of his fellow-men. And yet
these papers have devoted columns in,
vindication Of their claims to this
wonderful" priority of statement,
and in endeavoring to render the tenn
perance movement repulsive and
odious to the people. But we cannot
help believing, if their readers credit
one-half the miserable maledictions
they have pronounced upon each
others characters, the temperance
cause will be but slightly injured by
anything they may say about it. In
this valiant squabble between these
two city journals, we believe the
Enquirer" has finally borne off the
palm. He wandered back into the
mist of years, and raked forth from
the rubbish of his past follies, state
ment in reference to the Maine Law
that entirely outstripped anything the
Times" had ever thought of. Hea-

Fatal Railroad accident!

We are called upon by resident OF Waynes-
borough to record the first Railroad casualty in
Augusta county. On "Wednesday last the arrival
Of the Locomotive in Waynesborough created, as
might have been expected, an unusual excitement
in that usually quiet village. The Engine was
placed upon the track, and remained blowing Oft
steam for some time before starting. This strange
noise attracted together perhaps the entire poPu-
lation Of the place, and when the Engine start
ed the excitement became intense. The outside of
the crowd pressed heedlessly upon those standing
close to the track, and ceased not until they actu-
ally forced under the crushing wheels of the Lo-
comotiye an unfortunate individual "a avorite dog OF
the corporation, and the poor fellow was instantly
and cruelty killed. "a bad beginning makes a
good ending" and as this is the frs, we nope 1t
may be the last and the worst accident ever to
happen in Augusta. An Investigation proved, as
usual, that <'no ore was to blame" The misfor-
tune is attributed solely to the inexpcrience the
sufferer himself, who seemed altogether ignorant
of the dangerous character of the object Of mach
public curiosity he had so frequently gone out
with the otker eitizens TO see the arrival of Ele-
plants, Stages, &c., that he had become quite too
careless for such an OCCASION We trust the sad
lesson may not be lost. Alas poor TRAy!!!

The appearance of the first Iron Horse" at
Rockfish Gap, is quite an event in the history Of
Augusta county, and significant of greater things

naturally reminds us of old Gov. SpoTswooD's
expedition which brought him to the same place,
nearly century and a halfago, at the head of his
adventurous band, the "Knights of the Golden
Horse Shoo"-the discoveries of Augusta county

another hundred years hence some greater inven-

that has superseded old Gov SPorswoOD's horse

Coming Over.

We are glad to perceive from the speeches of
Secretaries DAVIS and GUTHRIE during the recent
sojourn Of the President and suite in Philadelphia
that the President and his Cabinet are 'coming
over" to the Wing policy in regard to internal
improvement by the General Government. Sec
rotary DAVIS, apparently with the appreciation OF
the President, takes strung ground in favor OF
national Railroad from some point in the Missls-
sippi Valley to the Pacific. This was favorlte
measure of Mr.. FLLMoRE's Administration, and
was strongly recommended to Congress by the
late President in his Message and BY MIR. STUART
in his annual reports. The Democracy then re-
garded the measure as an invasion of State rights
and unconstitutional. But as Gen. PIERCE has
"come over" to Mr.. FmLMoRE's views, of course
all constitutional scruples will vanish on the part
of the Democracy. What does our representative
Mr. LErcHER say2 We respectfully invite him
also to ''come over"
