An over-issue Of Corn.

Mr.; L. b; Terrell has presented us with
something of a prenomenm in the way of a
yield OF corn, which grew in his garden
There were thirteen ears all covered with
one shuck, each fully developed with fine
large grams; This roasting-ear was not only
a remarkable curiosity, but proved a delic.
ious commodity on our scanty board. for we
had corn soup, corn pudding, corn boiled and
corn roasted, all from the product of one
stalk. What the omen of the over-issue is
we dare not predict. We trust that it is nei-
ther a prototype of an addition of thirteen to
the family of friend Terrell, nor the ~forerun-
ner,of such a famine as was foretold by Jo-
sepn n the Interpretation Of Phaoah's dream,
wherein a stalk Of corn was the mysterv-
We rather believe that this remarkable veg
etable is a prelude to the returning of the
good old days, when corn sold in the West
at thirteen cents per bushel. So mote it be.

1t is a most undoubtsd fact that DR.. Sanford's
Invigorator or Liver Remedy, is one of the grea-
test discoveries made in medicine the past centu-
ry. 1t has been a study of the DR.. during twenty
years practice to find what particular organ,
when diseased. caused the greatest number of ills
or pains, and his conclusion is, that the liver is
the greatest regulator of the system, and the
most llahte to disease, willis if kept fr IN disease,
Is a preventative of Dyspepsia, Jaundice, general
debility, &c, while last, but far from least, we
mention consumption ; for our experience is, that
more cises OF consumption occur from diseas ed
hver, than from all other causes put together.
Taxing this to be a correct hypothesis, we have
but to hni a remedy with which to corr ect the
liver, and we hasea cure for nearly all the diseas-
es We are subject to by simply using a preventa-
tive. That the Invigorator is such a remedy, is
beyond doubt to all who try it, for its virtues are
such that for all complaints arising rom liver de-
r~angements, it is an unfailing RENE y, while as q
family medicine, for all diseases of the stomach
or bowels. which are caused in a greater or less
degree by liver arrangement. 1t is the safest,
surest, and most eficaeious remedy known. See

Correspondence of Spirit of the Age.
Judge Evans. of South Carolina.

X. r. SPRINGS, Aug. 10th.
| had the pleasure, yesterday. Of forming
an acquaintance with the eminent statesman
and distinguished son Of South Carolina,
whose name heads this paper, and found him
more than all that my pre- conceived notions
of Southern chivalry had painted him. One
would not be long in recognizing in Judge
Evans the true and easy independence of
the South Carolina cotton planter. He very
forcibly reminded me of what | have read of
the character Of the ancient English Barons
80 urbane and condescending in converse
ton with his interiors, His politeness is not
of that constrained and sycophantic kind,
which we SO often see exempliied in would
be great men, but seems to be a natural char
acteristic of the man-springing sponta-
neously from a warm and generous heart. He
is one of Natures own noblemen.
Judging from his appearance, one would
not take Judge E. TO be over fifty. or at most,
sixty years of age, yet he told me that he
was in his seventy first year. He certainly
his age we'll. He is on his way to
the mountains Of Western Carolina, where
he designs spending a few weeks in recruit
ing his health-having recently recovered
from an attack of the fever. Long NAV he
live to enjoy the ust plaudits of an honored
constituency. and to be a pillar Of strength
to his loved State! A. j. G.

For the Snirit.nf the Are

For the optrit.ot the Age.
Mn. EDIroR Though now late for such
a Communication. yet | hope you will allow
me to say a few things, through the Spirit of
the Age, concerning the celebration by Skee-
nah Division and friends of Temperance in
the neighborhood, on the 4th of July last
At an early hour there were quite a respecta-
BILE number collected at the church; and at
the appointed hour James B. Addington
read the Declaration of Independence in a
perspicuous aud becoming manner. The
p~atriUtic address was delivered by II R.
Kinsey. ESQ. Mr.. KS address was we'll
arranged, well delivered and abounded with
appropriate facts connected with the achieve
ment of our glorious national independence.
We bad besides, an acceptable Temperance
speech from Geo. w. Angel, who though
quite young, with study and prudence, com
bines in himself the promise of usefulness.
Mr.. Angels speech was followed by Rev.
John Mcdowell on the same subject, who
gave us a forcible array of facts, showing
total abstinence to be an important item in
our civil economy.
The Division was then presented with a
beautiful copy Of the Bible, by Miss M. Wikle.
on behalf Of the Visitors of the Division
This was done in a graceful and appropriate
manner; and was responded to by the w. P.
ID. L. MeDowell) in a gallant and very
handsome manner. | then closed with a sort
Of general exhortation on stricfnine whiskey
and kindred subjects. 1t was a proud day
for Skeenah Division though the opposition
is becoming warme and warmer with every
public demonstration We have. l have how
ever, the utmost confidence in the business of
the cause, and in its Ultimate triumph.
1t affords me great pleasure to see our ma
tional anniversary so generally and appro.
priately observed by the friends Of Temper
anee. Itaugurs well for the national fidelity
OF the friends of total abstinence, and affords
us some encouraging suggestions. My OBJ.
serVatl0n for more than twenty years has
convinced me that a direct or indirect sane
uoning OF dram drinking on the part of the
church, shuts out the light of heaven and
works evil and only evil to genuine spiritual
religion. 1t cannot be otherwise.
Allow me then to PROFOUND a few questions

BO- The Fifth Annual Exhibition of the
North Carolina State Agricultural Society,
will be held in this City ia October next,
commencing on the Goth. and continuing
four days. An unusually large crop of wheat
having been produced the present year, and
the prospect for an abundant corn crop be-
ing very good, we anticipate an extraordin-
airy large number of visitors, and we trust
that the articles for exhibition will be more
numerous than ever before. Every farmer
should feel an interest in, and endeavor to
contribute something to, the Exhibition.-.
The list of premiums is large and liberal,
and worth competing for, even in a pecunia,

Children have you ever thought in what
q beautiful world you livel how God has
placed you amid gardens and groves, and
pleasant meadows. and beautiful streams of
water what a glorious sun shines upon you;
what soft breezes fan you what a vast va
riety Of delicious food is furnished you what
delightfulhom are given you /; what friends
are yours what balmy sleep comes over
your weary limbs and what a joy and hap
piness there is in every moment of your
healthfal frame; and whence should come
misery in such a world7-for misery there
is aye, among the young as well as the old.
Who has not seen the young man. born to
great riches and pleasures, the joy of his
father and mother, surrounded by every de-
light, cursing and swearing, and making
himself and every one around him perfectly
miserable. What a contrast did he present
to the inheritance Of which he might have
been the lawful pOssessorf And what, amid
go many delights, brought woe and wounds
into his bosom2 Alas it was the wine
cup. This was the serpent in the garden
this was the sting among the flowers. Go
to the prisoners cell go to the asylum of the
insane go to the poor house and ask what
broug't the wretched inmates thereH Two
thirds Of all will say, it was drink that early
blasted our joys. Oh, winel thou essence
of the evil spirit, when wilt thou be ban
ished from earth Come dear youth come
away from all temptations of the wine cup.
The pure drink, in which the birds and the
beasts and the fishes revel ; the beautiful
fountains which bubble up from the earth /;
the streamlet coming down from the noun
tain the broad river on which ships sail to
the ocean the sylvan lake lying smooth and
peaceful 10 the valleys, all beckon thee to
ways Of purity and peace. Daniel and his
companions would not defle themselves with
the wine which the king drank. The kings
wine defles, and maddens, and destroys, as
well as the wine Of the lowest of his subjects.
The happy boys walking forth in all the pu-
rity Of Gods creation, would keep them
selves happy and pure. How wise were
theyf The spring has gone; the last month
Of sumner has gone and soon, autumn will
be here with its precious fruits. So let it be
with life. Mar not your beautiful days and
hours with sin lest, your end be bitterness
and gall.

answered in the affirmative, then let me ask
another question of vast magnitude: Can a
christian man or a christian church remain
silent upon these subjects, and by silence in
directly sanction these evils, and yet be guilt
less in the sight of AUST God, and escape
the fearful retributions Of the future?
As the subject Of these questions involves

and as the veal or woe Of our country aud
the church hang upon this, 1 hope some of
