Public Drunkenness Indiotahle.

1t will be remembered that last week a
Correspondent of this paper announced Judge
Persons charge to the Grand Jury of Union
county concerning public drunkenness. A
Correspondent of the Salisbury Waterman
gives the following, from Mecklenburg coun-
ty:
Mr. EDITOR: 1t may be of some interest
to the people of North Carolina to know, that
we at last have a Judge who declares the
LGw to be sufficient to protect the commu-
nifty against the evils Of Intemperance, or at
least against public drunkenness.
Last week, at Mecklenburg, l had the Pile a.
sure of hearing the charge of Judge PERSON
to the Grand Jury. 1t was a charge unusu-
ally clear to the common understanding, and
met with unqualified appreciation from men
Of all parties. On the subject of public drum
kenness, he said,-that persons might drink
az priUGte as much as they pleased-even to
intoxication, and the Law did not, or ought
not, to notice or take hold of them. But
when they get drunk and appear in public,
such exhibitions shock public decency, are
dangerous to the public order, and are against
public morals. Nor, said he, is it necessary
that a man should thus exhibit himself a do
zen or half dozen times, until the public pa
thence is exhausted towards him, before the
Law takes hold of him. 1t is sufficient if he
does so in a single instance. He is liable to
an indictment as a public nuisance.
Such views seem to me to be highly just
and proper. | believe it is understood to bt
Law that if a person makes a single improper
exhibition of his person in public, it is indie
table. What can be more repulsive to com
mon decency, more injurious to good morals
or more dangerous to the public peace, thar
to see a man, or a number of men, drunk AMI
still drinking-at one time wallowing in thu
dirt on your streets and pavements and a
other times, furious with intoxicated madness
staggering through a crowd, cursing and
swearing, and offering to fight any or all VIII
are present ? seeing the same Law that pro
tects the public against the one, can protec
it against the other evil.
My sole object, Mr.. Editor, is to call genel
al attention to this view of the law, as hel
by Judge PERSON, in the hope that our othe
Judges will also lay it down in their charge
to Grand Jurors; and that the Peace Officer
Of the Country will attend to its execution
Very respectfully, yours, &C.,

The DISCIPLES ADVOCATES the title of
a new religious monthly periodical published
at Kinston, by the Bethel Conference of
the Disciples of Christ" whose organ it is
1t is edited by Rev. John 7. Walsh.
The known ability Of the editor, added to
his extensive acquaintance with Biblical his
tory, his industry, and his interest in the
cause, as shown in the productions of his pen,
and his efforts in the pulpit, eminently quail
ify him for the position assigned him. His
experience as a religious editor, of several
years, will add to the interest of the Disciples
Adc0cdte.
The periodical itself is very neatly printed,
by n. S. Richardson of Goldsboro', and con-
tains 80 pages, in good clear, plain type, on
a fine quality of paper under a neat and ap-
propriate cover.
If the Denomination and others do not sus-
tain it, the fault will mott be either in the ability
and zeal with which it will be conducted, or
the excellence with which the mechanical de-
partment is executed. This is a hint, take
it-and the paper too. 1t is only 81 for the
gear.

'EsTRANGERos"-the Weldon Correspon-
dent of that excellent paper, the Petersburg
Express, communicates the following items
/ learned to-day through a very pleasant
gentleman from Murfreesboro', that the Far
mers' Bank at Elizabeth City, will resume
specie payment in a very short time. He
travelled with a gentleman, CDR. Warren, I
think he said,) who was taking some forty
thousand dollars in specieyse the Bank. This
will no doubt be gratifying intelligence to
some of your city readers, but mind, | would
not mislead them, and | therefore give only
the information | received.
A large number of your readers will be graf
flied to learn that Bishop Pierce has consen-
ted to preach in Weldon, but fearing that he
may not be able to do so on the 18th, he has
appointed Sunday the 29th as the day, and
will preach at II o'clock, a. m, on that day.
There will be a large concourse of persons in
attendance, and it is likely the spacious din
ing room of the Whitfield Hotel, will be bor-
rowed of Mr.. Happier for the occasion.
The Bishop designs spending several days
in Weldon and its vicinity, on his return from
the Virginia Conference, and the foregoing
announcement of a sermon by him, is made
with his knowledge and by his consent, so
that there need be no doubt of it.

THE FALL OF DELHI.-Weh have already an
nounced that Delhi, the strong hold of the
Indian mutineers. has been assaulted and car
ried bv the Europeans. This mails bring full
accounts of the. stoTsning and ultimate cap
ture of the city, but they are entirely too
vol1minous for our columns. 1t may be
stated in brief however, that the assault was
commenced on the morning of the 14th of
September; Monday) the siege train having
previously reduced the bastions and curtain,
against which its fire was directed, to crum-
bling ruins. The attack was made in four
columns. of which one, composed of the Cash
mere Contingent, was repulsed. The others
were successful. An entrance was effected
at the Cashmere gate to the North of the CT
ty. and an advance was made along the ram
parts to the Cabulgate, where an ineffective
resistance was made by the mutineers. The
next day the British commenced firing on
the magazine. and stormed that position on
the 10th, wednesday, capturing with it 125
pieces of cannon The official dispatches end
at this point, but intelligence in which full
reliance was placed, had been received to the
effect that, after three more days Of fighting
the British troops, or the 10th, took entire
possession of the city.
The loss of the British In killed and wound
ed is stated at 500 men, including so officers.
The slaughter among the mutineers is believ-
ed to have been great, but 40 estimate is gi-
ven. A large number escaped out of the CT
ty, among them the Reelhi and his
two sons,vdisguised in9 fhes. The.
English cavalry had moved forward to inter
rupt and destroy the fugitives.
In his order for the assault, Gen. WILSON
stated that no quarter Should be given to the
-o-4soooro l,4 4lo4 III A. uo11n aud ohil
dren should be spared.
Scinde, it was reported, was raising Ii, 5000
men to intercept fugitiyes.
ANOTHER RAIL RoAD AccIDENT.-Just as
we were putting our paper to press this NOR
ming, we learned that Mr.. Mathew Crawford,
Commission Merchant of this place, was kill

Many ladies suppose that a high
forehead is essential to beauty, and
hard have been the tortures inflicted
by them to get rid of the natural COW
ering OF hair which grows down too
far on their foreheads to suit their
ideas of taste and beauty. The razor
has been frequently applied to make
a high and smooth forehead, and de-
pilatory powders extensively used to
kill the roots of the hair and produce
the same result. A writer in an ex-
change holds the following very sem
sible views, backed up with good au-
thority:
The notion that high foreheads in
women are indispensable to beauty,
came into vogue with phrenology.-
Not long ago, many " fine lady"
shaved her head to give it an " intel
lectual" appearance, and the custom
of combing the hair back from the
forehead probably originated in sim
liar manner. When the somewhat
peculiar fact is considered that a great
expanse of forehead gives a bold,
masculine look, ana that from irons
(forehead) comes the word effrontery,
it will not be wondered at that the an-
cient painters, sculptOrs and poets
considered a low forehead a charming
thing in woman; and, indeed indis-
pensable to womanly beauty. Horace
praises Lycoris for her low forehead,
and Martial commendS the same
grace Of feature as decidedly as he
praises the arched eyebrow. Nature
a higher authority still, has distin
guished many of the most beautiful o.
the sex in the same way.
