A SIGNIFICANT FAcr.-During the past
year, there have been incarcerated in the
Albany Panjtentiary, for various offences,
one thousand persons, male and female. OF
this number, all but Twenty-Five have been

downfall t. drunkenness. OF these twenty
five, fifteen acknowledged to the physician of
the prison, that they have habitually used
intoxicating liquors to the amount of from
ha,fa pint 10 q pint daily, and this they call
moderate drinking! When the connection
between the use Of these poisen5 and the
crime that scourgas our land, is so glaringly
evident, trEy is it that every friend of virtue
does not demand the suppression Of the poi.

At q regular meeting Of Reems Creek Di-
vision, No. 1913, Sons of Temperance, the fol-
lowing preamble and resolutions were unan-
imously adopted, to wit
WHEREAS, The practice of candidates treat
ing, and every way, so far as their influence
extends, encouraging the drinking and vend-
ing Of ardent spirits, is fraught with the
most dangerous as we'll as demoralizing ten
denotes, and whereas, we believe the time
has fully come, when all temperance men,
patriots and philanthropists, whether con-
nccted with any temperance organization or
not, should speak out boldly and fearlessly,
both in public aud private, that their where
abouts may be known Therefore,
Resolred, That we, individually and collec'
lively, from this day forward, will not, under
any circumstances, knowingly vote for, oil
encourage the election Of any man to M
Office Of honor or profit, who drinks spiritu
Gus liquors himself, or encourages others t
do 50, treats to them, or suffers another to dC
so for him.
Rssoicei, That while being a Son of Tenn
p%erauce, or not being one, shall have no in
fhueuce whatever upon our votes, hat we will
not support any man, nor encourage other
80 to do, to represent us in the Senate 0
House Of Representatives, who will not put
liciy declare himself in favor Of Il "prohit
-itory Law" until such n law is passed.

ADVANCE Is BREADsTUFFs.-Thore were q
few days, (about three weeks ago. when APP
bearances indicated n loss Of about half a
dollar a barrel on the large quantity of Flour
held on speculation. Since that time every
arrival from Europe has brought news of an
advance, until it is now evident that q profit
of perhaps half n dollar, instead of a loss Of
that much, will be realized.
There is an admitted deficiency in France
and England, which, as the Baltic is closed
by ice till the Spring, must be supplied from
the United States. Spectators in those coun
tries profess confidence that such supply viii
be ample, and that consequently prices can
not rule materially higher than at present.
In New York, wheat has gone up to 81 O5
and Flour to 50.

A PooB SAMPLE OF SYMPATHY FOR TUR-
KEY.-We give to-day further foreign news
iron the English papers to the 3lst ult. The
most important item is the statement that the
combined fleets have not entered the Black
Sea, as we were led to believe oy the last ac-
whether authentic or not we T%cannot say,
says that the demand on the part of the Porte
for the aid Of the English ard French fleets
in the Black Sea, which was conveyed in the
official note addressed to the English and
French ambassadors at Constantinop!e, brought
by the papers previously received by the Bal
tic, and already given in our columns, has beer
refused. Turkey now knows the value Of The
boasted sympathy of England and France.

THE BALLOT BOX.

THIS periodical is devoted to the specific pur-
Il pose of bringing about in North Carolina the
abolition of the Traffic in Intoxicating drinks By
Legal Prohibition. 1t is filled with Facts, Argu-
ments, Essays, Items, Poems, Editorials, &C., &C.,
all bearing upon this one subject. It is intended
to be just such q paper as should be put in the
hands of every voter in the State. The publisher
has been fortunate enough TO secure the services of
Rev. DR.. Deems, as Editor. His position as Grand
Worthy Patriarch of the Sons of Temperance, in
North Carolina, his extensive acquaintance with
the prominent Temperance men in the United
States, the vast mass of material at his ommand
and his devotion to the cause, are sufficient guar
antees for the character of the Press.
A Specimen No. was issued the first Of January.
It's rapid sale, the powerful impression it has pro-
duced upon the public mind, and the voluntary en-
enlargement received from sources of the highest
responsibility, have induced the subscriber to make
arrangements to issue it as a periodical. The pre-
sent crisis in temperance movements in North Car
DINA demand such a publication. To give it the
largest possible circulation it is put at the follow
ing low prices, per uolume. A volume consists of
twelve numbers, it being proposed to bring it out
monthly, unless the public interests demand q
more frequent issue:

The LATE FATAL DUEL IN ALABAMA.-We
have already noticed the fatal result of the
duel that was fought in Pickens county,
(Ala.,) or the I'd instant, between DIR. f. W.
Irby and DR.. FAINT, both of Noxubee county,
Mississippi, in which DR.. IrbY was shot
through the heart at the first fire. The Col
umbus Miss Argus has some particulars
concerning the affair, which invest it with
painful interest. We know nothing of the
merits Of the difficulty; but there is some
thing unusually slddening in the contempla-
ton of an old man being supported to the
field of motal combat aud yielding up his life
a sacrifice to the so-termed code Of honor
The Argus says:
The weapons were duelling pistols, and
the distance thirteen and a half PAGES. DR..
Irby, who was killed, was a most estimable
gentlemen, a member elect Of the present
Legislature of Mississippi, and the difficulty
arose out of some misunderstanding in the
late canvass between himself and his anita
gonist, who was a candidate for the same
station. Both gentlemen were Democrats
and members of the chsEeh. We are told
that the affair would nave taken place long
since had it not been for the extreme If
health of DIR. Irby, who was conveyed to the
ground ofeombat in a carriage, and wa scar
cely able to stand up without support at the
time ofthe fatal occurrence, the like ofwhich
f we hope never again to be under the necess
'ity of chronicling.'
