ring, mackerel, cod or salmon, because they
come from Maines But in fact the principle
of prohibition does not come from Maine, it is
of the growth of South Carolina; for here
prohibition is found on our statute book be-
fore Maine existed, and as applied to temper
ance, it was contended for here in 40 and Al,
long before the Maine law.
The writer, however, acknowledges that he
detests that ultraism which is arraying our
country in sectional hatred. He has always
thought that Yankee was just as good man
as he was; however he utterly condemns the
madness which is there goading the people on
to their own ruin, and possibly that of the
county; but still this will not make him reject
that which he knows to be good, because it
comes from the land of the down East!
There is great Inconsistency in thus sneering
at prohibilory law, because it comes, as is
supposed, from Maine! The writer asks those
who thus object, is it wrong to educate chill
dren in the land Of steady habits? Isit wrong
for Southern man to own stock in North
ern railroad-does Mst smack of a higher Ian !?
Certainly not! 1t is good investment, tat
dividends follow, and the fortunate holder will
not say, say! this, howeuer, sn,acks too much
of the Yankee-of the higher law-and in a
spirit of high-toned, chivaric patriotism, will
not have them." If he did, we should think
he would be very much like that foolish mau,
who, because he was fishing for cat fish, would
not have a trout which he had caught 81
am gone eating" said he, land wont have
trout" and suiting the action to the word,
he flung the fine fish back in the river.
The writer has no disguise he acknowledges
frankly he is for the Maine law, with suitable
notifications to make it enforchle under our
constitution. Still he wouldn't claim just now
an enactment beyond the prohibition of the
sale of Intoxicating drink at the places where
sold! The great object before him is to close
the grog-shops no0 and forever. Then be
would ask the people to take another and a
greater STEP that is the total prohibition of the
sale Of Intoxicating drink. except for mechani
Cal and medicinal purposes.
So much for the beginning; the writer will,
when he has leisure, more fully explain the
principles and working of prohibitory law.

Mexfcans ON the Rio Grandn.

The Washington Sentinel publishes the fol-
lowing extract from letter received by gen.
teman in that city:
BROWNSVILLE, July IL, 1854 :
q, Dear Friend-Our place is crowded with
Mexicans from Matamoras and other places,
who have voluntarily exiled themselves. A
mong them are some persons OF note from
Tampico and other places in Timaulipss. All
that prevents an outbreak at this moment on
the whole of the opposite side of the ne is the
simple fact, that the different leaders cannot
agree among themselves as to what plan Of
operations is to be pursued after Santa Annals
minion Wol is driven out Of the country. Two
weeks have already been spent in consultation,
and as write, the only point on which they
are all agreed is to declare war to the knife
against his serene highness and all the scois
who hold Office under him.
Saltllo, it is affirmed, is in open rebellion,
and Ampudia, who commands in Nueva Leon
has abandoned Monterey and retired with his
forces into the citadel of that place. This can
give you al idea Of what is trsnspiring in that
section of the country.
As to how matters are in Matamoras, you
can we'll imagine, when mention the simple
fact, that on the 9Th inst. the imported Mexi-
can Woll, who commands in that place, issued
an order, which is being rigidy enforced, that
not only has the men to get Il passport in Or
der to cross over to this side, but also the wo-
men and children who of course undergo reg.
ular examination at that office before pass is
given them. The consequence is, that the wo-
men have become the most violent opponents
of Santa Annas government
The Indians have continued their depreda.
tions between this place and the Nueces, and
our. citizens complain most bitterly against the
general government; and our own State gov
ernment comes in for share of their deep
curses. IfGovernor Pease wishes to preserve
bis Riogrande popularity, whatever that be, he
will have to call out Texas Rangers.

ed by every ceremony prescribed by law. But
as in the body of the work there are many
passages that offend good morals, overthrow
laudabIe customs, violate the laws, and destroy
the duties most essential to society, virtue is
thereby exposed to the most dangerous attacks.
"But, say some, the author of these 70.
mances have nothing in view, but to represent
vice punished, and virtue rewarded. Granted.
But will the greater number of readers take
notice of these punishments and rewards r.
Are not their minds carried to something else
Can it be imagined that the art with which the
author inspires the love of virtue can overcome
that crowd OF thoughts which sway them to
licentiousness? To be able to inculcate vir-
tue by so leaky vehicle, the author must be
a philosopher Of the first rank But in our
age, we can find but few first rate philosophers
"Avoid such performances where vice as
sumes the face Of virtue; seek wisdom and
knowledge, without ever thinking you have
found them. A man is wise, while he contin.
ues in the pursuit of wisdom; but when he
once fancies that he has found the object of
his inquiry, he then becomes fool. Learn to
pursue virtue from the man that is blind, who
never makes step without first examining the
ground with his staff.
"The world is like vast sea; mankind like
u vessel sailing on its tempestuous bosom. Our
prudence is its sails, the sciences serve US, for
oars, good or bad fortune are the favorable or
contrary winds, and judgment is the rudder ;
without this last, the vessel is tossed by every
blow, and will find shipwreck in every breeze.
In word, obscurity and indgence are the pa.
rents of vigilance and economy; vigilance and
economy, of riches and honor; riches and hon
or, of pride and luxury; pride and luxury OF
impurity and idleness; and impurity and idle.
ness again produce indulgence and obscurty.

The CHOLERA AT NIAGARA SUSPENSION
BR1DeE-HoRRiBLE DIscLosuREs.-We learn
from the most reliable source that the ravages
of the cholera at the Suspension Bridge on,the
Canada side, have been worse than heretofore
represented. Our informant visited the scene
yesterday, and found that almost every soul
capable of moving had deserted the vicinity,
leaving the dead without burial. He disco,
vered in one shanty woman so far gone as
to be. unable to move, and dead body-her
child, seven years old-lying 10 bed by her.
side in an advanced stage of decomposition. 2
In another house, he found two merA one
dead and the other dying, without succor. The
latter died shortly after. All three of these
bodies he inferred with the aid of a lad EN-.
ployed at the Telegraph Office In yet another
shsnty, he found three unburied bodies, so
much decsyed that he could not venture to re-
move them. This morning he set fire. to. the
shanty and consumed the hodies.
We learn as a reliable fact, that several bo.
dies, only partially copsumed, were to day be- :
ing rooted up and devoured byaa parcel of hogs
which had found their way to the spot. We
can firmly rely on these horrible statements,
whatever may be said to the contrary

A CHILD KILLED BY PANTHER.-We
learn from the Abingdon Virginian that little
daughter Of Mr.. Barker, living in the lower part
of Washington county, Va. was killed few
days ago by panther. Mrs. Barker had sent
the little girl to spring for water The child
staying longer than was necessary, the mother
went in search of her. Near the spring she
found traces of blood, and short distance be
youd. portion of her chld's body. A few
steps from the place where the remains of the
child were found, a large panther was discover
ed in tree. The unerriug rife of one OF the
company, who were promptly out in search OF
him, so soon as the monster was observed,
brought him to the ground.

CABBAGE WoRMs.-John Farrar, one of the
most practical farmers in the State, says, these
destructive insects may be destroyed in the fol-
lowing easy and simple way:
Break off large leaf from the bottom Of
the cabbage, and place it on the top upper
side down. Do this in the evening and in the
morning you will find near or quite all the
worms on each cabbage, having taken up their
quarters on this leaf Take off the leaf and
kill them or feed them to the chickens andplaee
the leaf back if there be- any more to catch.

The abolitonists recently held grand con.
vention Worcester, Massachusetts. An in
cident occurred on this occasion which seems
to us to illustrate the moral character Of these
bodies. While Rev. ]. Pierpont was address
ing the meeting in all manner of high faiutin
terms, DR.. Abner Phelps, Of Boston, who was
upon the platform, discovered that his wallet,
containing notes and some thirty dollars in
money, had been distracted from his pocket.
He turned and seized the person standing near.
est to him, who happened to be Mr.. Vice Pre-
sident Clark, and proceeded to search his pock.
cts for the lost wallet. This (says the Boston
POST excited good deal of merriment, and
Mr.. Clark laughed heartily at the operation to
which he was subjected. The doctor did not
recover his property.

SOUTHERN MANuFAcTUREs-Th Albany
(Ga.) Patriot recommends the establishment Of
factories in in that section of the Union for the
fabrication of coarse cotton goods. The editor
remarks: "There is not probably, in tie United
States, a section where the manufature ofcoarse
cotton would pay better than inthis. We have
abundant and cheap water power oil round inyi.
ting US to its use" Let the people ofthe South,
in Georgia and elswhere, where the same facil-
tiles as those mentioned above are abundant.
engage in manufactures, and they will build up
powerful breakwater against abolition aggres,
sion. The South must look to its own internal
development If it wishes to Conquer peace"
