from well-informcd sources, that while
they are indisposed to take advantage of
the weakness of Spain, the President will
take prompt and sufficient measures TO
vindicate the rights of The owners of the
ship, and to obtain instant PREPARATION for
the outrage perpetrated on them, without
submitting to the delay incident to negc-
tIatIon with Spain concerning the affair.

Increa sing the Price of Newspapers.

The great and increasing advance in
the price of paper, compositor's wages.
and nearly everything else connected with
the printing business, has led to tie in-
crease ofsthe price of subscription and
advertising by many publishers; while ga
number of others have it in contempla-
ton. and will be compelled to consum-
mate tiff this upward tendency is not soon
arrested. For ourself, all we ask is
prompt payment at our present low pri-
ces. We calculate to do business enough
to make a living at that. The Morgan
town Mirror says:
"Our brethren Of the Press in every
direction, are waking up.to the necessity
of raising the price Of their papers. and
securing more promptly their hard earn
ings. We too, are thinking profoundly
on the subject, and will give the result Of
our cogitations in a week or two. Mean
while we beg that our readers will pom
der we'll the following paragraphs :"
ADVANCE IN THE PRICE OF NEwsPA-
pERs.-Owing>to the advance in the cost
of printing and paper, the journalists of
New York and Boston have determined
upon making proportionate increase in

We can but ask ourselves ifany parents, hav.

place a child in such perilous position.
Oh, no, it would seem that poverty in its

From The Penfeld [Ga.l Banner.

Mr.. Eaitor-Having just been admitted in
to that grand and glorious Order, the Sons of
Temperance, feel while the fire burns within
my veins must say word for the cause,
which is productive Of so much good. Oh!
what train of associations passed before my
mind, while passing through the initiating So
it brought of those who had fallen victims to
the curse Of intemperance! How ptied the
drunkard's fall, and wept over the inebrlate's
grave! while wasted health, desolated homes,
squandered fortunes and heart.broken wives
passed rapidly before me. There is no such
thing as forming a correct idea Of the wretch
edness and ruin that attends the life of the
wine bibber. Enter the chamber where every
thing bespeaks the wealth that might grace an
Eastern palace; the rich and beautiful hang.
ings over the windows, make a perpetual twi'
light in the room, but dim as the light is, there
We can see thai sorrowful group gathered
around the bed of the invalid. Observe the
bloated appearance; his lips parched with fe.
yer, his corrugated brow; he raves wildly and
incoherenly; it is enough to thrill our natures
with nameless dread, as he gives utterance
to fancies of fevered brain. Monsters, of the
most hideous forms, glide before him, and
seem really to bear him away to those dark
tabled regions which are pictured so vvidly
before him; he hears unearthly sounds, and
feels as if life was, battling fiercely with death.
The physician bends over him with deep so!ici-
tude, and, with grave countenauce, pronoun-
ces it case of delirium trenaens. This is the
young man in the prime of life and must he
be given up to die an early and unnatural
death, caused by the use of ardent spirits? No!
God forbid, that one who is fitted to fill high
station in society, should drown the talent Civ
en- him by his Creator, in the wine cup.
Yet another scene, widely different from the
one above. Leave tho mansion Of the rich
man, and enter the cot of the poor inebriate,
Gfhe has ANY, How can we describe the
scene, when the oratory Of the country has fail
ed in depicting the misery of the drunkards
homeg The doors are falling from their hinges
windows broken, and every thing bespeaks
desolation. Turn to the forlorn wife, mother
and children, and read the tale of woe depicted
on their countenances! You may recollect
when that vile stood at the altar, in her bridal
robes, when there were none fairer and happier
than they! But, alas how changed woe has
set her impress indelbly on that brow, and
the chldrens' faces wear shape Of habitual
sorrow! As you stand there, contemplate the
scene! you see the once happy and dignifed
husband and father, stagger to the door-he is
coverd with rags-aud one glance will tell you
