Prof. stillman's Testimony to Tenn

NeYef, perhaps, has there been SO
striking j testimony tosthe beheft

That remarkable man, after fifty three
years df labor as professor in this
ancient University pbssideshaying ed
tied sixty-three volumns of the Jour-
nal Of Science, and travelled extern
ssiYely in all the countries Of Europe,
resigned bis Office. In announcing his
retirement, he used the following re-
markable, languages: lie said that he
'had iustlaid down his commission as
aateacher in that college, after the la
bou of filty-three years. He thought
twas time 10 dolit. Not that he was
conscious Of decreptitude either in
body or mind--for here l stand,'
said he, 'erect and, in perfect health,
with my eye undimmed and my natu-
= raj force unabated'- his whole
appearance justified the remark k-'but
there is a time for ceasing my, con-
nection with this beloved institution,
and that time l think has come. Gen
tlemen, said he, if | owe my vigor
of body and mind to any one course
under Providence, tits the cold vater,
inside and out, to total abstinence from
alcohol and tobacco, and he took oc-
casion to exhort his hearers to like
abstinence from these destructive
stimulaqqtys, # they wis wished Cd to enjoy a
% Now if any. additional weight of
opinion in favor Of our great cause
were needed, surely it is here supplied,
and by one whose motives are far re-
. moved above all. suspicion. From no
one could such astatement come with
more weight of authority. Sdllman
is recognised everywhere as a bright
star in the hemisphere of science, for
he ranks with the Faradays, the Her
shells and the Brewsters Of the age
Can testimony, we again ask, be more
valuable? Away, then, at once and
forever, with the can't Of those who
advocate moderation, and misquote
scripture to support their declarations.
One fact like this from the lips Of Still
man is worth as much, ifnot more to
the temperance cause, than the most
elaborate essay, or the most popular
lecture.

It's generally admitted that almost
every act of insubordination on ship
board, has been occasioned by the
spirit ration, and therefore it has been
urged that it was not only ridiculous,
but inhuman for government to furnish
it, and allow its use, butts it not found
, by the records ofall our criminal courts

A SHORT AReUMENT.-7I beg leave
to propose a short, clear, and strong
argument, to prove the divine inspira-
ton Of the Scriptures, The Bible
must be the invention either aof good
men Or angels, bad men or devils, or
Of God. 1t could not be the invention
of good men or angels, for they nei-
ther would nor, could make book,
and tell lies all the time they were
writing it saying, Thus saith the
Lord" when twas their own inyen-
ton. ,..''F .'.S 3,1..'3 ',s't@ .i.'.. f..1
1t could not be the invention of bad
men or devils, for. they would never
make q book which commands all duty,
forbids all sin and condemns their souls
to he'll to all eternity. Ia therefore
draw this conclusion, that the Bible
must have been given by Divine in,
sSsratiop.-Jobn WeSRey.

The Intellagencer discourses upon the
industrial progress of the State ofGeorgia,
showing briefly what she is doing for the
cause of agricultural improvement and in
railroad building. The same paper pre-
sents further extracts from the able and
interesting letters of the accomplished la
DIV whose family letters from Europe have
so frequently graced the columns of that
journal. They have fairly earned for the
writer literary reputation of which al
most any protested American literateur
might be proud.
The Unions leaders, upon Gov. Howell
Cobb's present political labors in Georgia.
Well may the organ of the Administra-
ton compliment him highly, for the ala
Gritty and ability with which he has thrown
himself into the breach to check the late
discomfort of his Union party friends with
the manner in which the Administration
divided its patronage, has been already of
immense advantage to those in power.
With his influence in the scale of the dis
contented in New York, their position
and labors would threaten serious danger
to the success of the policy of the present
Executive. His refusal to countenance
Democratic opposition to them is of more
| value to them than even that of Genera,
Cass; inasmuch as he has so much
longer future before him. The same pa
| per again scorches the National Democrat
for what it pronounces to be its disingen-
| uOus course towards the Administration.
The Sun is still without editorial.
The Clipper discusses parties and
Factions" The editor, if we can draw a
definite conclusion from his remarks,
thinks it possible that in view of their
scarcity of members in the next Congress,
the Wings may sell themselves to either
faction of the Democrats. This is sheer
nonsense. The Wings have definite and
fixed principles, which are applicable tc
any measures that may be agita:ed in the
national Legislature. They have never
failed to regulate their speeches and votes
on those principles, contending for them
in all cases with a determination which
has greatly benefited their country, and
Won for them the respect and fear of theil
opponents whether in OF out of power.
