The JUDeE OFF THE BEscH.--Dropping in at
the afternoon performance of the circus company
yesterday, we saw the Judge Of one Of our courts,
surrounded by several little folks" admiring the
feats of the "tumblers," and laughing heartily at
the jokes Of Mr.. Merriman" the clown. How
different his aspect was there to what It was sew
era days since, when, seated on his judicial bench
with "eyes severe and beard of formal cut, full Of
wise saws and modern instances, bis looks we're
scanned by the unfortunate prisoners seated be-
fore him In the court room, awaiting with anxiety
their doubtful destination.

NEW MILITARY CoMrAsY.-An artillery company
is being formed in our city, which Is to be drilled
as infantry also, and its ranks are being filed up
at rapid rate. With company of artillery at
tached to the military now organized, our regiment
will then be complete. Captain John Reese, late
commander of the Hghlandcrs, is spoken of as
the captain Of the new corps.
Our volunteer soldiery should meet with every
encouragement from our citizens, as We do not
know at what timo their important services may
be called into action. Success to the fremen and
volunteers, say we, and may they always meet
with that encouragement and success which they
SO richly deserve.

The Scourged Cities.

The adyices from our sister Cities, Norfolk
and Portsmouth, continue to be of the most
heart-rending character. In addition to the
yellow fever, which is Staying its hundreds,
we notice that the small pox has broken out
In Norfolk-some II or Is cases having oc-
Cured.
We are pleased to see that Rev. Mr.. Wills,
who was reported dead, is recovering and in
all probability will soon be able to engage
again in the sacrificing duties which well nigh
cost him his life.
The yellow fever has broken OUT in Suffolk.
Mr.. Thomas Riddick has died of it, who had
not been to either of the infected cities. The
greatest CONSERVATION prevails, many citi-
zens having left the place, though there was
no other case in the town.
On the 9th there about so burials in Nor
folk, and Ii in Portsmouth. On the 10th, 80
deaths in Norfolk, among whom were six
physicians, and Is deaths in Portsmouth.
Among the deaths We noticed those of Mrs.
Smith, wife Of Rev. Aristides Smith, of the
Episcopal Church Mrs. Eskridge, wife Of
Rev. Vernon Eskridge; Mrs. Walters, wife
of B. B. Walters, who died a few DAYS pre-
vious.
The latest intelligence may be found un
der our News Head. All the Newspapers il
both Towns have been suspended.

With very much pain we announce the death of
Mrs. MARY JANE GoRMAN, the beloved wife of
MIR. A.. M. German, the editor the Spirit of the
Age. Our sympathies are with our brother in his
bereavement may he find comfort at the hands of
Him who chasteneth whom he loveth.
We thank our fair friend, the accomplished
Editress Of the Petersburg Kaleidoscope, for
her kind sympathy in our sad bereavement.
Long may she be spared a like affection
may a long and peaceful career attend her
and him whom she delights to honor.
And when death come, may it come
Gently to one of gentle mould, like thee,
AS light winds wandering through groves Of bloom,
Detach the delicate blossoms from the tree.
We shall also long cherish in our heart of
hearts the many warm expressionSof SYM
pathy and coincidence we have received from
a large circle Of Correspondents. Oh how
sweet are the soft words of kindly sympathy
Like the sweet melody which family fingers
+ Upon the wind-harp's strings at close of day,
When gently touched by evenings dewy fingers,
1t breathes a low and melancholy lay;
So the calm voice of sympathy me seemeth
And while its magic spell is round me cast,
My spirit in its clustered silence ~dreameth,
And vaguely blends the future with the past.

huntsville High School.

We have received a Catalogue Of the Officers
and Students Of the above named Institution. 1t
is about the neatest Catalogue that we have seen
at our sanctum but no marvel, it t0as printed by
q thorough going temperance man, at the Spirit Of
the Age Office, Raleigh, ". c. We are glad to see
that the School is doing well. There were in atten-
dance, during the last session, 62 males, and q fe-
males-totai, SO.

of this School, and Principal of the Male Depart
ment. John II. Calfee is Principal of the Female
Department. James III. Hensley and William C..
Bowman, the Teachers in the Primary Department.
This we believe to be an efficient Board of Instruc-
tors, and will, with the aid of an energetic Board
of Trustees, (such as it has) make the huntsville
High School a blessing to many especially to
Yaney county, in which it has its location and at
such result we shall rejoice.
We copy the above for the purpose of call
ing public attention to an Institution worthy
of their patronage, and also to thank our
friend of the Herald of Truth" for the com

the progress and condition of this Division,
and lays claim to the title of the Banner
Division in the State. He says Hopewell
Division has not met with less than thirty
members, and more frequently fifty are in

Bro. Picket, Of M~ecklenburg Div, before an
audience of over 500 ladies and gentlemen /;

A poor but industrious mechanic had been
laboring for years to accumulate sufficient
money to purchase a homestead for himself
and family. On returning home each Sat
urday night he would place his weekly sala-
ry In his wife hands, and request her to lay
1t by. A few months since, knowing that he
must have saved q couple thousand dollars
by his industry and frugality, and learning
that a piece of property was for sale in the
upper portion of the city, which would be
an advantageous investment, he called upon
the owner, and it was offered to him at a
bargain.
OverJoyed at his good fortune, he hasten.

glad news, and asked for the money to close
the purchase. But alas there was no ioy.

FOREIGN NEws.-The Asia has arrived with
seven days later intelligence from Europe.
Her war news consists merely of the details
of the previously reported battle ofTchernaya,
which official accounts make out as a decided
victory for the Allies. Mrs. Bodisco, widow
of the late Minister from Russia, who comes
direct from st. Petersburg, says the Allies
burnt at Sweaborg a very large pile of steam
boat wood, and that this was the extent of
their triumph there. There is nothing of
importance from the seat of war.

THE a DIVISION.

The next session of the Grand Division,
to be held in the Town of Charlotte, begin
on the 23rd of October ensuing. 1t will
be seen from the Proceedings of the Sons of
Mecklenburg county, that they have COM
menced making arrangements for the enter
tainment of the members of the G. D., ina
manner commensurate with their well known
hospitality and Gberality and we feel con-
fdent in saying that everything in their DOW
er will be done to render the visit of their
guests pleasant and comfortable.
And now, members of the G. D. and of
the Order at large, let us resolve to attend
that session in large numbers-let us go
there fred anew with high and benevo-
lent principles-let US there kindle a flame
whose light and genial heat shall be seen
and felt throughout our beloved State. The
time has arrived when we must FURNISH up
our armor, rally with enthusiasm and alac-
rity around our NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. for their
spread and maintenance-or we must retire,
~vanquished from the feld;I and give way to
those men and agencies who will carry the
cause forward to success and triumph.
The cause of Temperance is one owned and
approved of God. It cannot fail, or miss of
securing those ends for which He has de-
signed it. Men may fail-men may prove
r~ecreant to the high purposes contemplated,
Associations may fall short of their duty and
thereby fall into disrepute, be scattered and
t riven, and lose the appreciation of high Heav-
en- by their unfaithfulness-but the CAUSE
!, will not, can not fail, for it is one of the i'm.
mutable principles of the Religion Of the
; All-powerful God, andmust and will triumph
If present agencies and appliances are I'm
faithful or incompetent, He will remove then
and place in their stead those that will carr,
out His exalted purposes. Let us then re
t solve to do, and then perform our duty, 0
h else get ont ofte cay, before we are thrus
aside and visited with His sore displeasure
But we trust that the gathering at Chal
y lotte next month, on the spot consecrated b
Is the high resolves and noble deeds of our Rev
IL dictionary ancestors, will be such as will il
: fuse new life and energy into the Order, an
start us again on the high road to prosperit
and success.

Shall they be Withdrawn?

The restraining and saving influences ex-
erted upon society by Temperance Associa-
tons have been manifest in every communi-
nifty where they rave existed. Thousands
are living, grateful witnesses Of their power
g to succor and to save" those who have fall
len unde the baleful, blighting, ruinous eff
fects of Intemperance. Thousands Of happy
homes, and twice ten thousand joyous hearts
and cheerful voices well the praises of Tenn
perance, for the restoration of comfort and
peace to the freside, and the bestowal of
plenty and the blessings of educational and
religious privileges upon them. And even
those who have not united with these Asso-
ciations-those who have stood aloof and
watched without intermingling in their be-
~nefcent and saving operations-have felt
and blessed their restraining influences up
on society at large.
These things being acknowledged, then,
the question arises-Shall these blessed and
blessing influences be withdrawn-shall the
restraints exerted and the saving power
manifested by Temperance Associations-be
given up, and the rayages of the destroyer
of the peace and welfare of society be al
lowed to rayage community unobstructed?
| This is a question that comes home TO every
. citizen. 1t appeals to the heart of every
? father and mother, who must feel and know
: that the safety and happiness of their chill
dren are involved in the momentous issue
e The young man and the middle aged, who
] are exposed to the inroads of the fearful vice
of intemperance, are deeply interested in the
n solution of the interrogatory. The matron
d and the maiden should look with fearful APP
prehension upon the issue, as in it may be
lie involved the fate of their present and future
Up partners in life, and those who may come
Id after them.
ed Who, then, is ready to advocate or desire
of the total abandonment Of the Temperance
We Associations? Surely, not one, who has the
dy happiness and well-being of society at heart.
'e- Doth it not, then, behoove all such to labor
ed to sustain them, or for their revival, in the
ice event Of those In their community being i'm a

ese surely it does. Let us beseech you, then, by
the welfare of your own home and freside,
by the interest you feel in your neighbors,
an by your love for your fellow-men, 90 to wori
