Extract Of a letter from Guilford County:
About n year ago, we formed q Temper
ancc Society at Barnum's Chapel, in GuAford
Co, and at the annual meeting which came
of some three weeks ago, the secretary made
his report which was as follows; | take it
from memory 1--WE have had 81 to join, 4
have been expelled, 4 have moved, and one
died, and the society is now IN a hourishing
condition. At the last meeting we had an
attentive congregation of young people and
some three or four signed the pledge. Now,
when you take into consideration that this
society is in a quarter of = mile of Florence
Division, S. Of T., and that the Sons take but
little interest in it, is not this doing we'll, con
sideriug two or three Of US have to do the
talking, and it in a stammering way

Luckily OUT OF HI.

The conclusion of the treaty brought about
through the mediation Of President Urqulza, be-
tween President Lopez and Mr.. Commissioner
Rovljn. appears TO have given us position aud
character in tho countries bOdering on the waters
of the Plata which ii is to be hoped we may be
able TO maintain Considering the very bad odor
for several years past Of the name and policy Of
these United States Of America among all our
Spspish-American neighbOrs, we certainly have
reason to be thankful to Mr.. Bowlin, or rather to
President Urquiza that instead of carrying death
and desolaton among the Paraguayans, and making
our name still more feared and detested, our naval
officers have only been called upon to eat, drink
dance, and exchange compliments and congratula-
tons: and that on the La Plata at least, we have
ceased to be regarded as wolves proving about to
seek whom We may deyOur.
The accounts which were sent home OF the mill
tsv strength aud the alarming preparations for
defense made by Lopez appear to have had their
origin in the same lively Imagination which placed
formidable military force at the disposal of Brig
ham Young, and lined all the passes into the Valley
of the Great Salt Lake with Notifications almost
impregrable The people of Paraguay seem, IN
fact in a military point of view, scarcely more
formidable than We're the MOrmOns; and nobody
who reads the account Of the condition of Paraguay
given by Mr. Commissioner Bowln himself, can
help conciding in the opinion expressed IN letters
written home from the feet, that to have made war
on people so weak helpless, inofenSlye and
happy would have been in the highest degree crlml-
nal and disgraceful Lopez himself, on closer
acquaintance does by no means turn out to be the
tyrant and oppressOr he has been often described.
As to the enormous wealth of which he
has been Represented to be the possessor that
story has originated from confounding the public
revenues which pass through his hands with his own
private property But even those public revenues
do not amount to anything extraordinary. The
entire population of Paraguay does not eXceedtour
hundred thousand people, almost exclusively OF
pure Indian blood, and in industry or production,
not for moment to be compared with an equal
number of our own people. The public revenue Is
mainly derived from monopohes of some of the
principle articles of produce, the President being
not only the civil ruler but the chief merchant also,
which easily accounts for the quarrel into which
he got with Mr. Hopkins, who seems TO have
aimed at setting up for himself and his Company
sort of commercial rivalry with the Government.
We trust that the good feelings which the get
ting rid of us without bloodshed has excited will
not be dissipated with the fumes of the wine drunk
at Urquizas banquet, and that in this distant part
OF America at least We may succeed IN maintain
Ing a character for moderation and magnauimity

! The canvass in VIRGINIA, as between the rival
candidates for Governor, appears quite animated,
! though its result cannot be doubtful Opposition
candidates for Congress have not even been sug-
gestcd in more than half the districts. The Legs-
atye contest looks more life-Lke, but We think
there are Opposition candidates for not more than
two-thrds of the seats to be filed. OF course, the
result can hardly be a matter of speculation.

which should be- regarded az "the ordinary sup
plies The Secretary Of State asked for $500
this year, and received $1,000, which ought to
be- enough, since under the administration Of the
State Department by such men as J. c. Spencer,
Christopher Morgan, and Henry s. Randall. the
regular appropriation Of $4,000 sufioed; and it is
TO be remembered that in those days the Depart
ment Of Public Instruction was also under the
control and it, administration formed part OF the
regular duties Of the Secretary OF State. Had Mr..
Tucker, the Secretary Of State, complied with the
resolutions introduced into the Assembly by Dir.
Rutherford, a Democratic member from this city,
and given the information desired by those resou-
ticns 20 the duties and pay Of his clerks, the
public could have judged for itself as to whether
there Is necessity for more money to pay clerks IN
the State Department. He chose to defy the resO-
lutOns Of the Assembly because, TO have given the
information would possibly have revealed the fact
that q number of clerks while drawing pay from
the Department, have been for months absent from
their post, serving the party by editing its shabby
newspapers, and otherwise.
