The Expenses of Intemperance.

The expenses growing directly and indi-
Fectly, out Of intemperance, have been repea-
tedly presented before the people by the press,
the lecturer, and by other agencies, in such
a strong light, that the conviction must have
become mistaken that no other power exists
SO fruitful of ~pecuniary burthen- One of the
earliest arguments employed against the sale
and use o fliquor was that Intended to increase
public expense, and that argument has never
been dropped, neither will it ever cease to be
presented. So far from becoming diminished
in its strength, it is gaining by every years
Development
We have been led to consider this subject
by some remarks made by a member in Con-
cord Division meeting a few evenings since.
We ask those who are inclined to think that
i~ntemperance is not much of an evil,-those
who are participating in their intoxicating
beverages,-those who are engaged in the
sale of liquor,-to look at the facts which we
present below.
: There are upwards Of counties, in North
Carolina-say so. Let us admit there are 10
grogshops in each county-and in many there
! are double this number-this will give US
r 800 grog shops. Put down the sales in each
at $3 per day-the very smallest kind of an
a average-and we have s 2,400 per day spent
in these grog shops for liquor. There are
365 days in = year-Sundays included-whicf
latter day, to our shame be it spoken, is fire
quently the largest sales-day of the liquor
, seller-which at the above small and reason
able estimate, an aggregate of eight humdret
and segenty-sir thousand dollars, spent adnu
ally in North Carolins, for the support of the
liquor traficl!!
= Now this sum is over double the who'll
amount of taxes collected for the support G
. our State Government; and our people ar
constantly complaining of heavy taxes, whe
they quietly submit to a seif-imposed tax {
more than double the amount over which "
II grumble so much.
This sum is largely more than enough
ct pay the interest of our State debt and in II
ere years would pay the entire ~debt-princip

me North Carolina to look at these startling fac

~ We have long since made it a rule to
discard all Enigmas whose solution is the
name of private individuals, and especially
the names of ladies. The publication of such
frequently gives offence, and, in ourjudgment,
are highly unbecoming. We are willing to
publish a few Enigmas which are of a ehar
acter to test the skill and knowledge of our
young readers in Arithmetical, Geographical
and Historical matters-for such are ealcua-
ted to improve the mind, and cause them to
bring into practice important lessons they
have learned at school such, for instance, as
the Enigma in ~Trigenometry published last
week: but such as have no merit except the
mere combination Of figures and words, we
have not room for.

Enemies to the Cause.

The true friend to any cause, is not DIS
mayed and turned aside from it, because OF
opposition or ridicule. He only asks him
sHf-"amI right ?'-and if his conscience
approves, he swerves neither to the right or
left, but valiantly and constantly contends
asfor the faith that is in him." And this
should be the case, emphatically, with the
friends of the Temperance reform They
should be determined, enthusiastic and uni
ted. Our opponents, the liquor dealers and
their allies, are always alive, active and thor
roughly organized in their warfare against
1.-THE Temperance measures and if we would
not be overwhelmed, we must be found at
all times with our armor on. The true friend
of temperance feels strong when he has adop-
ted a course of action based upon principles
of eternal truth. He sees, through the gloom
of the conflict upon which he has entered,
the brightness of the full day of victory
And what reform has ever been suggested,
from the time the Ephesians mobbed the
apostle Paul to the present day, that did
not arouse fierce opposition?
But there is one class of enemies-who
come under the guise of Jriendship-thath has
always done more against the advancement
of temperance principles than any others
We allude to the timid, the popularity hun
tiers, and those guided by expediency insteat
of principle who ~hesitatingly approve, bu
doubt the proprietg of every step taken b,
temperance men for the suppression of il
temperance.
With open enemies the friends of Ten
perance can cope; with them the issue
made up. But lukewarm f~riends-tempe
ance men in the abstract, yet practical adv
Gates Of intemperance-these who give Il
T hand of friendship, but are ready to betrs
with the kiss of a Judas-are the worst en-
| mics of the cause. They, who profess a {
sire to see the present traffic in temporal al
D eternal ruin arrested-who acknowled
that evils, almost unlimited in degree a
o number, flow from the dramshOp, as wa
a from a perennial fountain, yet doubt the
i pediency, question the right of legislating

The End of q Man of Genius.

Charles Cassiday died recently in the Poor
House of Sumner county, Tenn. The Editor
of the Asheville, n. c., News, says-We re-
member poor Cassiday well, though only a
" wee bit Of fellow" when he was enjoying
the meridian strength of one of the brightest
mtellects ever bestowed on fallen humanity.
He was the author of the best portion of
"GuRn's Domestic Medicine" a very popu-
lar book in the South and West. For this
work he received about as much in the way
Of pay as would keep him moderately incl
low" while he performed the job. From the
proceeds of the sale of this book Gum has
lived a prince for a quarter of a century,
while poor Cassiday dies q pauper! But Tor
love of the aceursed " fire water" the name
of Charles Cassiday would have lived among
| the brightest of the age.

TEE Moss RosE.-"T The angel who tends
the flowers, and in the silent night, distils on
them the dew, slumbered one day in the
shade of a rose bush. When he awakened,
he thus spake with a friendly countenance (:
Loveliest Of my children, l thank the for thy
refreshing Incidence, and for thy cool shade.
Couldst thou still ask for some additional
favor, how gladly would | grant it, 'Adorn

TnE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH.-Since the
failure 10 lay the Submarine Cable directly
across the Atlantic it remains TO be seen
what can be done in going round the ocean
by the way of the North of Europe, Iceland
and Greenland A grant is said to have
been made TO 7. p. Shaffncr, of Kentucky,
for landing the cable, and its necessary con-
nection over the Territories of Denmark,
Norway, Sweden and Russia, with promise
of all the material and necessary aid for
the sure and certain communication to aud
from all nations. The route by land pre-
sents, it is said, 10 greater difficulties than
the present Newfoundland route, and the
greatest single stretch of submarine cable
does not exceed six hundred miles, which is
as long rs any experiment has yet proved
that circuit of electricity can be transmit
ted through conducting wire with intense
~ sufficient for practical telegraph purposes.
Ii is urged that line like this would have
the advantage that, if any single section
should fail, it would not destroy the remain
der of the line. Another route isacross our
own Territories to the Pacific, thence through
the English and Russian possessions to Beh-
rings Straits, and across TO Asiatic Russia.
Even if Submarine Telegraph be set down
| as failure there, the door is thus still open
for connecting the two hemispheres.
Some do not despair of success in laying
the cable by the direct route across the
ocean. They think with continuous cable
coiled on reels, and on o single large vessel
like the Great Eastern, for instance--sail-
ing from Trinity Bay, New Foundland, to
valentia Bay, Ireland. There is still a
| chance of success

H~One of the principal objections to the
use of envelopes is that there is no way of
establishing the connection between the en-
velopc and the enclosure, and proving that
the post mark on the envelope gives the
date where the letter was mailed. This is
often important, and the post mark is the
only way of proving the mailing and ident =
flying the letter. Ii would be convenience
if the government would furnish writing
paper stamped in the same way that envel-
opes now are; so that the same sheet might
bear the communication, the superseI1ption
and the date of mailing, without the neces-
sity of using the separate stamps.

Judge Eckles is man of decided char

ders materially changed, he contemplates
resignation, and return home. Governor
Cummings is pleasant man, but is unfortu-

drinks so much that he is often unfit for
