A w~ell-merited Compliment.

The Biblical Recorder (Baptist) of this
City, pays the following well-deserved tribute
of respect and confidence to the Rev. VIM.
E. Pell (Methodist) who has been the Pastor
of that Church for the last year, and is reap
pointed to that service for the succeeding one.
1t is really refreshing, in these days of bitter
sectarian bigotry and animosity, to record
such testimonials of Christian charity and
affection from one denomination towards an
other. Nor is the compliment Common place
or undeserving-but is emphatically aprro-
pirate to Mr.. Pell-a mar whom we believe
to be truly Sin love with all his neighbors,"
and capable of recognizing the image of his
Master, wherever seen or under whatever
name it may be borne. Weare confident the
Bishop fulfilled the wishes of our entire COM
munity, in appointing Rev. Mr.. Pell to labor
with us another year. But to the extract
from the Biblical Recorder:
By the decision of Bishop Paine. who pre-
sided with so much propriety and dignity o.
yer the late Methodist Conferences, the Rev.
VIM. E. Pell has again been stationed at the
Methodist Church in our City. We ale pleas
ed with this disposition of our brother in the
ministry, though our UNCONVENTIONAL views
are different in some respects. By his emf
nently social qualities, and his gentlemanlv
department., he has gained numerous warm
hearted friends and become endeared to all
who have enjoyed the pleasure of even a
sli ght acquaintance. He has a large share
of the Spirit of his Divine Master, and we
feel confident that his labors during the en-
suing pastoral year, will be blessed to the sal
walton of many souls. Let brotherly love
and Christian affection continue. Let all the
Denominations he at peace with each other,
and God will assuredly bless the foolish.
ness of preaching" to the saving of his dying
yet immortal creatures.

Our CITY.

During the year now nearly expired, there
has been no licenses granted for the retail
of Intoxicating drinks in the City of Raleigh,
the consequence is, we have now but one IL
censed liquor shop among US, it having re-
ceived license from the Board of Commission
ers of last year, and whose term has not yet
expired. Every unprecedented observer must
admit it has been a year of unusual quiet
and sobriety in our communicates drunk
enness seen on our streets, very few, if any,
cases of public disturbance or breaches Of
the peace-temptation has in q great meas
ure been removed from betraying and en-
sharing the young-and upon the whole, our
citizens have reason to be grateful on account
Of the marked change our streets have exhib-
tied in these respects. Can it be possible
there is n single respectable citizen who wish
es a return to licensing grog shops, or hand
some Saloons, for the benefit of the seller, to
the detriment of the community in which
they reside? We trust not-surely there
cannot be.
We do not pretend that intemperance has
been entirely unknown in our midst. We
} believe many who were refused license nave
continued to sell the poison, in greater or
smaller quantities-we believe our slaves have
been corrupted, that law has been ~trampled
under foot-that officers have not discharged
; their duty, and that liquor has been drunk to
= a most Injurious ~extent-but under existing
. laws we cannot expect to arrest the evil en-
tirely-yet the withdrawal of legal protection
n has accomplished much, and if persevered IL
. another year, will effect even more good
We record with pride this improvement in
k and high position taken by the Metropolitan
e City, and hope another years exculpation Of
: the license system will be persevered in
h leading to the total destruction of the system
y throughout our good old State.

Tracts for gratuitous distribution.

As we have before informed our readers,
at the late session of the Grand Division, a
subscription was commenced, to raise a fund
with which to purchase Tracts for graz
tuious distribution among the people of the
State. Quite a handsome amount was then
and there bed butSas it is desired
every County shall receive some, it is hoped
each one will send on contributions to the
fund-as according to the amount contribu-
ted will be the number sent, each contributor
receiving the full value of his contribution in
Tracts and of course none but contributors
will be entitled to them.
The funds have been placed in the hands
of A. NJ. German, Grand Scribe, and to whom
other contributors can direct theirs. Those
who subscribed at Wilmington, and have
not paid, las we'll as others who may desire
to subscribe) will please forward such amount
as they desire, as soon as possible, in orde
that the Tracts may be ordered Immediately
The larger the amount sem for, the cheape
the rates at which they can be procured.

Stand Firm.

We join our gallant brother of the Cayuga
Chief in the hope that, in the struggle at
hand, nc Son of Temperance will bring dis
honor upon shettriplc emblem, his solemn
obligatfns&ogA manhood.
We know that some Divisions have fallen
away. There is an element in the human
mind which Graves the novel and new. They
love the excitement of change and turn eager
ly to every new war-cry which comes upon
the breeze. We love the old war-cry and the
old banner. Stirring associations are clus-
tering around the Red, White and Blue. We
love the Order-its glorious Past, its living
active Present, and the promise of its Future
It's great heart beats soundly to-day. Those
whoare banded together, have MAIDEN no "short
enlistments." The true and tried men are
left-men who will stand by their colors in
every conflict.
Of all the organizations of the temperance
reform, the Order has been the most effective
1t is still to be the "old guard" of coming
struggles. It has secured such trophies anC
performed so much in creating q right sen
teHiHfe#tt in the pubfvmfnd, it will ever 0ccup,
a bright page in the history of the temper
ance enterprise. It's work is not yet done
In the enforcement and ultimate support of
prohibitory law, it is to be a strong RICH
arm.
Then close up brethren of the Order. Oh
zeal must be kindled anew and the flame VI
on our affairs burn with a brighter light i
day to come. Let the influence of the Divi
ion Room vibrate in the outdoor stru ggle.

The following extract of a letter from Da-

we have received on this subject:

A North Carolina Tract.

There is nothing so much needed at the
present crisis in our State, as q short but
concise and comprehensive Tract, exhibiting
the effects of the liquor traffic in North Car
DINA, in a social, moral, monetary and polit-
zeal point of view-we do not Of course mean
by the latter term what is commonly under
stood as politics or party linos-but the ex-
penscs to government IN the way Of taxes,
punishment of crime, loss of labor, &C., all
which fall upon the industrious, ~tax-paying
portion of the community to meet. Our peo-
pie must have the matter brought to their
own doors, consciences and pockets, before
they can realize the startling truths which
such an exhibit would develop.
To this end, we beg some friend in each
county, to furnish US, from the records of the
Courts, what is the amount of taxes raised
for the support of Common Schools, keeping
up the public roads, poor-houses, &C., each
item taken separately-also what the taxes
are on every species of taxation-what the
cost Of prosecutions for offences committed
through the influence of Intoxicating drinks,
expense of Jail fees paid by the county, at
~torney's fees, jurors, clerks, &c. in a word,
every thing of a character to enable us tc
r would be taken off from the people, if the Ii
: quOr traffic was abolished. We want tn,
5 facts and figures derived from the Record
0 and we beg our friends in every county t.
furnish US with the desired information.

Metropolitan Female Seminary.

We call the attention of our readers to
the advertisement of this school to be open
ed in this city on the second Monday in jan
uary next. Mr.. Mcdowell has been long
and favorably known as the Principal of the
Milton Female Seminary, and we trust his re-
moval to Raleigh may be attended with COM
plete success.
We take the following from the N. G.
(Milton) Democrat:
Mutton FEMALL AcADEMY.-We learn that
the Rev. Archibald Mcdowell, the able and
efficient Principal of this Institution, has re-
signed his situation and will open in the City
of Raleigh, in the month of January next, a
Female Seminary of high character. His
leaving US is source of universal regret, and
we can truly say that he carries with him
the best wishes of our entire community fol
his success and welfare in the important DO
sition that he will soon assume at the Capt.
tol of our State.
Ii energy of character urhanity of man
nerS-1hristian department and talents of
high order, well suited for the vocation b.

vs. The Wilmington Free Press gives the
following strong endorsement of the Gap
peal" issued by the late State Temperance
Conventions:
The powerful and convincing Appeal to
the People of North Carolina" which we
presented to our readers in our last issue, de-
serves and will doubtless receive, if it has not
already, the careful peruss9 Of every candid
man. The ability which eharacterizes it
throughout is observable in every sentence ;
and the calm and truthful doctrine which it
inculcates must be admired by all. We do
not express half our feelings when VIC say we
are pleased with it. Nor are we alone in the
opinion that it Will have a tendency to open
the eyes of many inVeterate enemies, who
have heretofore been proof against every
other appeal. 1t ought to be printed in let
tiers of gold and posted on every pine, oak
and hickory tree from the sea shore to the
Tennessee line. Documents Of this class
must and will do good. They emenate from
sources eRtitaed TO respect; and however much
Ill natured men may labor against them, they
have an influence. That influence must ex'
hibit itselfin SOM shape. 1t may come ir
collision with adverse influences: but it viii
prove over towering ; and it will work silently
surelyand powerfully. 1t will gather strength
and increase an force, concentrate its power
until like the waves of the sea, it will breal
its boundaries and sweep in one r~esistles
flood over every impeachment. Give the ad
dress one hours attention, if you please.

HoNEsTY.-An honest man will give you
what for what, be you behind or before him.
He does not merely wish for men to consider
him honest, but he desires that it may be said
in heaven of him that he is an honest man.
From an infexible rule of principle and NOR
al rectitude he never swerves. Such a noble
man we love and honor. There is a moral
grandeur in his actions. Would to Heaven
there were ten-fold more such characters in
this time-servin degenerate, selfish century,
We have been led to this thought by falling
in with this stray waif:-
All are not just because they do no wrong,
But he who will not wrong me when he may,
de is the truly just. l praise not them
who in their petty dealings pilfer not;
But him whose conscience spuFns a secret fraud.
Where he might plumber and defy surprise,
Ills be the praise, who, looking down with seorn
On the false judgment of the partial herd,
Consults his own dear heart, and boldly dares
To be (not merely to be thought) an honest man.

Gv@ If any of our farming friends feel anx-
ious to know what they shall do with their
apples, if they do not convert them into CT
der and brandy, we take pleasure in telling
them that a farmer who deals in facts and
figures, as we'll as fine stock, has written to
the New England Farmer that he had fed out
more than 200 barrels of sweet apples to his
mich cows, and that the increase in the guam
tlty and richness of the milk paid him better
than any other use to which he could have
applied his fruit.-The writer further states
that he is raising trees annually, for the pur-
pose of growing apples for stock. Another
important statement of his is, that since he
has fed apples to his cows, there has not been
a case of milk-fever among them.

Rr The man who should crop the ear of a
neighbours sheep, would be punished. If he
has a license, he may deface manhood until
its W mother would not recognize it, with
perfect impunity. The farmer need not fear
losing his animals yet his children may be
inundated by inches at his very hearth, and
he looks in vain for redress. The author of
the accursed work turns with scorn from his
remonstrances, and points to his silent part
ners-the State and the people. The whole
weight of government is against him when
the interests Of his child are at stake. 1t
