Ladies may be admitted tc the Division meet
ings, will, we think, prove beneficial. Ofal
those who have suffered by the curse of Al
cohol, WOMAN has far more claims upon our
sympathy, than all other parties combined.
To Woman, therefore, let us extend the grasp
of f~raternal sympathy, and open to her the
doors of our p~hilanthropic association. Her
influence in our Divisions will be great. Let
us not value it lightly nor carelessly throw it
aside.
There are many other matters, which might
be mentioned as likely to conduce to the well
being of our Order. Among these we might
urge the brethren to carry the interests of the
Division with them, during the Week. Let
your friends and acquaintance know, by
your actions, that you have the welfare Of
your fellow man at heart. If you see a young
friend, who has been tempted to partake of
the intoxicating draught, "run, speak to that
young man." and you may be the means in
the hands of Providence, of saving that young
man from a life, a death of shame.
With these remarks, which well up from
a heart OVERLOOKING with desire for the perpe-
tuity of our noble institution, and the welfare
of our fellow man, we ask your attention to
a single thought:
Look at the moral sublimity of the specta-
Gle afforded by our Order, as, with its hum
dreds of branches, wide spread over the fair
face of our beloved land, you behold the week
ly congregations of clear minded, intelligent
freemen, reading at every meeting a lesson
of Union, of LOVE, PURITY, and FIDELITY
Setting aside the single principle of Temper
ance, there is a virtue in these little congre.
cations of surprising value to the peace and
general welfare of the community that gives
them birth. They have a calm solicitude
for the endearments of social life, that imper
ceptibly leads the soul to higher and holiel
aspirations. They stand as the vestibules Of
the very temple of God, lighting the mind
onward to a self publication, and inspiring
purer and higher conceptions of our relations
to each other, to mankind, and to our Crea
tor.
The principles of benevolence are nowher,
so efectually taught as in a Division room
we each appear there as the giver and re
cipient of a common bounty. If pouring i
into other hands, its burthen is easy, for 9th
ers share it with us. If, providentially, tn,
receiver, it comes from a common store t
which we have each contributed. By littl
and little the sweet lessons of kindness an,
charity find access to our hearts, and we ar
made better and purer by lessons so gent,
instilled, that we are imperceptibly brough
to the love of the Master whose instruction
we are following.
Under the blessing of Heaven we hav
heretofore prospered. By the same blessin
may our future course be a proved career t
ultimate triumph, if we but make proper us
of the means vouchsafed to us for that pul
pose. We have planted a standard aroun
which may rally the true friends of tn
Pledge. It's purity, its spotless preservation
rests mainly with us. Let us be true to ou
selves and the cause, and all may yet be well.

[Letter from Hon. John Minor Botts, Of F~irginin.l
RICHMOND, july 9th, 1855.
Hessrs. WA. s. Beers Dc Co., Genfs.-Considera-
sions of duty to the afflicted alone prompt me to
tend you this voluntary testimonial to the great
value of " Cdrter's Spanish Nurture" for that al
most iucurable disease, Scrofald.
Without being disposed or deeming it necessary
to go into the particulars of the case, 1 can say that
the astonishing results that have been produced by
the use of that medicine on a member of my own
famiiy, and under my own observation and super
intendence, after the skill of the best physicians
had been exhausted and all the usual remedies had
failed, fully Justify me in recommending its use to
all who may be suffering from that dreadful mala-
dy.
/ do not mean to say that 1t is adapted to all
constitutions. or that it will afford the same relief
in all cases; for, of course, I can know nothing
about that-but from what I have seen Of the eff
fects, would not hesitate to use it, in any and
every case of S~crofula, with persons for whom I
felt an interest, or over whom L could exercise in
fuence or control. Respectfully yours.

OAK CRY GuARDs.-This company, COM
manded on the occasion by Lieut.. r. S. Tuck
er, paraded in our streets on Wednesday eve
ming last. Owing to the fact that many of
our citizens, who are members of that Com
pany, were away, the number of muskets
turned out was less than usual. But the
skilful manouvreings, the noble bearing and
the soldier-like appearance of this corps,
were more than sufficient to compensate its
friends for the modification a failure in num-
bers might have produced. Capt. Harrison,
we learn, was too unwell to command.

Yours as ever,
SAMUEL +. CARY.

We think the frank and patriotic senti-
ments avowcd in this letter will meet the APP
probation Of the people Of the South every
where and if such were entertained by the
people of thefree States generally, we should
hear nothing Of the mad spirit of fanaticism
and ~disunion which threatens to dismember
our <Srious confedoracy. Gen. G. occupies
precisely the ground which all true national
mon Of the free States hold, and which we
Of the South insist upon, viz: let rs alone =
We hope oil will do Gen. Cary full justice in
this matter, and it is all we ask.
We have said and published thus much as
n simple act Of justice to a true, conservative
mau-one who has often been denounced and
yilifed by abolition fanatics, because he
would not lend himself to their mischievous
schemes. The South will not show her in
gratitude to such n man by misrepresenting
him when he comes here to labor in the pure
and philanthropic cause of temperance.

A Word Of Defence.

A short time since, the Raleigh Standard
made mention that Gen. Samuel r. Cary was
put in nomination for the Office Of Governor
Of Ohio, in the Convention that nominated
Chase, free s%oiler, thereby, by implication,
seemingly identifying him with the abolition
movement in that State. When Gen. G. was
in North Carolina last spring, seeing his
name mentioned in the Ohio papers in con-
nection with political official station, he au-
thorized us to state that he could not and
would not accept Of any. 1t will be remem-
bered that we did so. As soon as he return
cd home in June, he published q Card in the
Cincinnati papers, positively refusing his
name in any such connection. Knowingthese
facts, and knowing his views, farther, on the
abolition question, we addressed him a letter,
advising him Of the innuendo accusation by
the Standard, and asking to give us the his
tory Of the way his name was brought before
that Convention. In a Postscript to a letter
dated Aug. 22d, he uses tho language follow.
