To Members of the Grand Division.

Major Wilder, President of the Raleigh and
CASTOR Rail Road, has kindly rendered Rep
resentatives to the approaching session of the
Grand Division, the privilege of travelling
over that Road on the usual Return Tick
et' system. They will procure Tickets at
the Station they get on, paying full price
for them. These Tickets they will retain,
and their presentation to the Conductors on
their return home, will pass them over the
Road without extra pay. In other words, it
amounts to allowing Representatives to pass
for half-price each way.
Application has been made to the Presi-
dents of the North Carolina, and the Will
mington and Weldon r. R. Companies, for
similar privileges. At the present writing
they have not been heard from but we feel
confident they will kindly accede it, as in the
case of the r. & G. r. r.
And now what binders a Uery large dele
cation from being present at Greensboro on
the 3Oth inst? We feel confident we will
have it. A letter from Charlotte tells us we
will have some 80 or 40 Representatives from
the Divisions in that county alone. Let us
meet by hundreds, andinfusing new zeal and
: energy into each other, go forth to battle
anew and with redoubled vigor in the cause
of Temperance cause, the prosperity o.
which is so essential to the individual hap
. nineSs of nnr pnnpln, and tho wolfaro of oar
common country.
z. &-Since the above was in type, w
e have received the reply of Hon. w. S. Ashe
= President of the Wilmington Road, in which
e the Return ticket privilege is cheerfully
awarded our delegates, over his road.

More Licensed Shons.

We see by the proceedings of the last
meeting of the Board of Commissioners,
that another batch of licensed grog shops
has been chartered for the city of Raleigh
making, we believe, something like a dozen
now acting under seal of the State, to do their
work of desolation and death upon our citi-
zens and visitors. We understand the plea
now is-that it is Lot right to make o mon
opoly of the business in favor of a few ; but
that "all should have it who come recon-
mended according to law, and are proper
persons" Well, perhaps, there is some equal
ity in this view of the subject for certainly
grog selling is too high and respectable a
business to prohibit a free born citizen from
engaging in it, if he desires to do so. But we,
hope it will end a little worse than the Kill
kenny cat fight did. They, it is said, de-
voured each other all but their tails. In this
case, may they eat up each other, head and
tail. Now won't the liquor flow up Fayette-
vile and down Wilmington streets this win
ter! We shall mark the progress of things
and report, by the Sd Monday in January
next.

- For the purpose of elevating the lit
erary tone and character of our paper, and
adding to its interest, We have determined
upon securing the services of one of the best
writers in the State, as a regular weekly Con-
tributor, for the ensuing year-prouided the
number of subscribers we shall obtain be-
tween this time and the close of the year, will
justify us in the heavy outlay of money such
an arrangement will make necessary. We
shhll.keep this proposition before our readers
for several weeks, and hope before the year
closes, that we shall be able to announce that
we are fully justified in entering upon the ar
rangement. We hope the friends of the pa
per will exert themselves to largely increase
the number of our subscribers. tt.

Wife's influence.

Judge O'Neal in the Yorkville Enqui-
rer, tells the following of Judge William
Smith of South Carolina:
"He had the rare blessing to win the
love of one of the purest, mildest, and best
women, whose character has ever been
present to the writer. He married Mar
garet Duff. In his worse days she never
upbraided him by word, look or gesture,
but always met him as if he was one of
the kindest and best of husbands. This
course on her part humbled him, and made
him weep like a child. This sentence, it
is hoped, will be remembered, was the
language of Judge Smith to the friend
already named, and to those who knew
the stern, unbendiug public character of
the Judge, it will teach a lesson Of how
much a patient woman's love can accom-
plish. He was at last reformed by an in
stance of her patient love and devotion, as
he himself told it:
"The evening before the Return Day
Of the Court Of Common Pleas of York
District, a client called with fifty notes to
be put in suit. Mr.. Smith was not in bis
oficc-be was on what is now fashionably
called a spree-then a frolic. Mrs. Smith
received the notes and sat down in the of
fee to the work of issuing the writs and
processes. She spent the night at work
Mr.. Smith Sin riotous living At daylight
on his way home from his carousals, hC
saw a light IN bis Office, and stepped in
and to his great surprise saw his amiabl'
wife, who had just completed what ougb
to have been his work, with her head or
the table and asleep. His entry awok,
her. She told him what she had done, an
showed him her nights work-ffty writ
and processes. This bowed the stron
man, he fell on his knees, implored be
pardon, and then and there faithfully pre-
missed her never to drink another dro
while he lived. This PROMISE says ID
friend Col. Williams, che faithfully kept
and said the Judge to him from that da
everything which l touched turned to gold
His entire success 10 life,' says Col. Wi
liams, he sa. down to his faithful observant
of this noble promise
"No better eulogy could be pronounce
on Mrs. Smith than has just been given
the words of her distinguished husband
The reformation of such a man as Villa
Smith is a chaplet of glory which few "
men have been permitted to wear. To t
people of South Carolina, and especially
York District, certainly no stronger arg
ment in favor of temperance, total abs
nence, need be given"

For the Spirit of the Age.


Mr.. EDITOR We attended a celebration
held by Jacobs Fork Division at Grace
Church, in this County, on yesterday, and
had hopedto meet quite a concourse of people,
both of the friends of temperance and also of
its foes. But as the weather was exceeding
ly unfavorable, comparatively a small num-
Der were in attendance. However, on arriv-
ing we found few of Cardinals proud Sons
aud nAASA4A~AY ~aoit;~s 60 hear o0n1otfIipg
said on the glorious temperance cause.
1t was much to our regret and also much to
the disgrace of a near neighbor, that we were
forewarned not to hold our meeting in the
new Church. 1t appeared that some of the
church officers had neglected to secure the
title to the land on which their new and hand
some church edifice stands, and as the cloven-
foot will stick out when an opportunity pre-
sents itself. so in this case, it was exhibited
in all its frightful deformity. Duty plainly
showed the way, and we marched into the
old church, and having arranged it's dilapida.
ted seats and brushed it out with the branch
es of trees, we sat down and listened atten-
lively to an eloquent address by Rev. Mr..
Dixon, of Shelby ; and also from Rev. Mr..
Ingold, Pastor in charge.
Whilst our speakers were performing theil
duty faithfully, we could not help but look
over our small and attentive congregation ant
consider them as true to the cause Of temper
ance as any sons and daughters of this Bibl'
land. We also were obliged to think of thu
man who had said IF the Sons of Temper
ance hold their meeting in the new church,
will not make a title to the land on which i
stands" If that man does not ask God for
new heart in this life, he will find it too lat
when he comes before the Judgment seat
Christ. "When the wicked reign, the peopl
of God mourn"

THE BAPTIST STATE CoNvEETIoE.

Met in this City on Wednesday last. A
large EumDef~of Delegates were in attendance,
representing, we believe, nearly every por-
ton OF the State. Besides the Delegates, a
great many Visitors were present. The Con-
yentional Sermon was preached on Wednes-
day night, by Elder Thos. FL. Pritchard-l
from our Lords Gospel-"Ye are the salt of
tue earth. The sermon was a fine inteIlec-
tual effort, and abounded with christian lib
erality towards all enterprises designed for
the spread of the kingdom of Christ and the
PRONUNCIATION of the glory of God. Mr.. p,
though a young man, has already made his
mark as an elegant pulpit speaker; while his
humility, his high christian character, and
his studious habits, give evidence of a still
greater usefulness, in his ripper years, to his
Church, and the.cause of christianity in gen.
eraI.
On Thursday night the Dedication Sermon
was preached By Rev. DR.. Burrows, of Rich
mond Va, in the splendid new ediice now
nearly completed. The text was taken from
Isaiah, and was in these words-"I aciU gIo-
rJy the house II my glory 1t was indeed
a grand effort For ~eloquence of language,
oratory in delivery, and exalted sublimity and
piety in concskion, we have rarely heard
this ssrpe9
AT the concTdN6nof the sermon, Elder T
Il. Skinner, Pastor, gave a brief history Q
the circumstances that gave rise to the bull
ding of the aew Church ediice-its progress
&C., and stated that some S., 1000 above wha
had already been subscribed, would be r.
quired to complete all the fixtures, &c. /.
subscription was then taken up to make u
the deficit, but we have not heard the amour
raised.
On Friday night the Educational Societ
held a meeting. Averylarge congregation W.
IN attendance. Interesting addresses were d
lIVered by Prof, Wingate, Elders Jones ar
Bradford and DR.. Burrows. A ~co!lectic
was taken up to defray the expense of ed
eating INDECENT young men for the ministr
to a handsome amount, but we did not he
the precise sum.
We had not the time to attend the busine
meetings of the Convention, but learn til
