A GOOD REcoMMENDATIoN.-The Nat. Div.
adopted a resolution recommending more
frequent public meetings under the auspices
Of the Order, for the enlightenment of pub
lie sentiment in the principles of the Tempe
ranaa- aansA-tha- aaVAnAAMAnkaf the oraEn-
ing effort of our glorious enterprise in the
universal adoption of a Prohibitory LIQUOR
Law, whereby the farther dcpredations by
the liquor traffic upon the best interests of
humanity, in time and eternity, may be stay
ed, and the favorable presentation of the
claims of our Order to the attention of our
citizens, as the pre- eminent instrumentality
whereby this great conservative measure
shall be attained-and that these meetings be
held as frequently as the exigencies of the
cause may require in different localities"
We trust this important recommendation
of the n. D. will be heartily endorsed and
faithfully complied with by the members of
the Order every where.

to this is expected to be completed by Christ
mas. The distance from Goldsborough to
the Neuse is twenty-five miles, an engine,
it is expected, will be put on when the iron
is laid to the river. The distance from the
river to this point is about twenty-six miles.
The Company will take charge of the Road
to the Neuse, or will be entitled to do so, aE
ter the LIST January.
We learn that the iron for this, the lst Di-
vision, which extends from Goldsborough to
about six miles above Raleigh, is of the heavy
I pattern, and looks as if it would do excel
lent service.
Gov. Morehead, the President of the Com
pany, passed through this place on Wednes
day last, on his way to Beaufort. We un
derstand he has recently purchased the iror
for the I'd Division, which extends from tn,
point mentioned, above Raleigh, to the Gull
ford line. We do not know the price he il
to pay for the iron.
1t is confidently expected that the RoaC
will be completed from Goldsborough to thi
place by May or June next w~hereupOnther
will be such a celebration as was never wit
messed in North Carolina. Every body a
bove here will then talk of Wilmington an,

So we go. Weare speaking of things as the
are. But seriously, Wilmington will hav
the advantage of Norfolk by about forty-fv
miles-the distance from this point to th
former being about $50, and to the latter
bout It's miles. We can breakfast in Ra

And when the Road shall have been col
struced to Beaufort, we shall be nearer
that by railway than to Norfolk, by some 8
miles.-Sdndard.

so amended the Constitution Of Subordinate
Divisions as to reduce the initiation fee to

MELANCHOLY Academia correspondent
writes US of a distressing occurrence which
took place in the lower part Of Cumberland
county on the night ofthe Goth ult. Ayoung
mar named John Robertson Faircloth was
burnt so badly that it resulted in his death.
Mr.. Faircloth was returning home from his
work in the night, with a hand torch, and,
we suppose, intoxicated. He left a neigh
bor's house where he had been indulging,
and had a jug of cider with him, and it is
supposed got down and caught fire. His
clothes were entirely consumed, burning his
legs, thighs and abdomen. He lived until
Saturday evening, when he expired, leaving
a wife and two children.

gGF We notice in some Of our State papers,
a braggadocio article upon the failure of the
Prohibitory law in the State of Ohio. Well,
it is true rum and satan have triumphed IN
the great empire State of the West-but,
though defeated, the friends of humanity are
not conquered in that great Commonwealth.
They will rally again, and victory will yet
perch upon their banner.
But, while we mourn the fate of the cause
in Ohio, the glorious success in Maryland
and Pennsylvania encourage US to persevere.
We have given in another place an article
from the Baltimore Clipper, relative to the
cause in Maryland, which says the Legisla-
ture of that State will sanction a prohlbitory
law. and the people will sustain it!
Pennsylvania too has done nobly. Tenn
perance men will be in the ascendantin the
next Legislature. The Lancaster City Express
says there aoiU unquestionaLly be a majority 1"
both Houses IN ffaror Of submitting the Ld0
to the People, which is all its friends asked for
in the late election.
The great battle was fought in New York
on Tuesday last, and from the Returns re-
ceived, it is rendered certain that Prohi
} bition has signally triumphed, and the mex
r Legislature will give the people the law!
Verify, the day-star of promise shinetl

Bsg- Total abstinence will never do"
says a swelled head wiseacre; parents should
make their children acquainted with intoxi-
eating beverages in order to crafty their Gu
riosity and cause them to fear the effect of
such articles on the human system" This
is logic with a vengeance. According to the
same rule, children should be slightly litten
by snakes and mad dogs in order to make
them fear and shun such dangerous beasts
and reptiles. 1t is the same argument.

neg, In the great press of business on our

scribers from our indefatigable friend and

having noticed an account of the big Beet
spoken of as being raised in Lenoir, writes
us that he saw one in the garden of Mr.. John
Kittrell, in Gates county, about the 18th of
August last, which measured 334 inches in
circumference, being 104 inches larger than
the one from Lenoir. The length of the Gates
Beet was not ascertained, as it was in the
garden growing at the time.

p- 1t is a fact worthy of record, that the
of town and county are supported
by the patronage of young men. Cross the
Threshold of one Of these dens Of ~iniquity,
nine-tenths Of the crew holdingth the coun-
ell of sin, are young men-the flower and
hope of the land. You SEE but few of tie
old there they have passed away to the
grave before the wrath of the demon seourge,
and youth and manhood are filing their pla-
ces. They. too, will soon go down to the
grave, and no stone or flower shall mark the
lone spot where they sleep. This fact calls
loudly for the conservative arm of freemen,
to interpose its strength and stay the black
tide of moral ruin that sweeps its seething
waves across our beloved land. The record
of other States prove that Prohibition is the
only measure capable of restraining and de-
stroying this fruitful mother of iniquity.-
That this is a truism, is proven by the con-
duct of grog-sellers themselves they have
always been ~valorous advocates for moral
%suasion, but as for legal prohibition they arc
" agin it." The shoe pinehes, and they cry
out! Prohibition is the strong man in the
Rcform-the unshorn Samson graphing the
pillars of Gazaand shaking the Temple of Ini
guilty and its throne of skulls Friends o
humanity, cease not in the strife-with ca
ger hearts and willing hands stir Hill an
vale with the war cry against the paren
scourge, until the land and the people are r,
leased from the tyranny of the Rum Traffic.

who has been at l~Ionlula for many years,
and who has shown himself a friend alike Of
the King and the people, has been removed
from has efHee as minister of finance, and +.
w. Allen, late United States Consul, appoin-
ted in his place. A decided step has been
taken by the government, it is stated, towards
the annexation of the Islands to the United
States. The French and British Consuls had
protested.
The truth is, these Islands have been for
several years practically under the protec-
ton of the United States. Two years since
the French endeavored to force brandies into
the Islands free Of duties, and otherwise TO op-
press the native government; but they were
met by stern policy on the part of our gov
eminent, and compelled to withdraw their
demands. The United States ship Vandalla
was stationed for months in the harbOr OF
Honlnla, with Instructions to fire into the
French vessel in case these French preten-
slons should be attempted to be carried out.
