To Correspondents.

On our return home, we found a large num-
Der of Communications awaiting our decision
as to publication. Some of them had no re-
sponsible name accompanying them of
course they were discarded under our rule
The writer's of all such whether prose or
poetry will understand why they do not APP
pear. We uW not publish any thing with
out a responsible name accompanies the arti-
Gle.
EsgFeat many were about school examina-
tons. We publish some of them to-day, but
could not get all in, and it will be too late to
publish them hereafter. Some of them par.
took too much of the character of advertise
ments to admit of free insertion, unless the
schools were found in our a lvertising columns
We are always glad to give our advertising
schools i notice. in our reading columns, but
it is asking rather too. much to give room fol
s1puffs' of schools that have never advertised
in the Age.
We have devoted a large space to our Cor
respondents to-day. And we nave otner
filed for insertion, but could not get all in thi
issue.
Some we have been constrained to declin
inserting, for reasons satisfactory to oursel1
If writer's are not willing to allow us the priv
Ilege of accepting or rejecting their articles
we hope they will not send us their effusion
for publication in the Age. We are thankft
to our friends for their favors, but we mus
be allowed the privilege of deciding on the pre-
Ipriety of publishing or Withholding them.
Do not write to us to return any rejecte
communications. If rejected, they are at one
destroyed, and hence it is out of our power
return them.

What Does He Mean?

Recently, a smart specimen of j~uvenility,
signing himself "Schoolboy" and dating from
Franklin S. and M. Inst, Duplin County,"
sent you a communication gratuitously, in
which he gave you and your many readers a
glowing description of a picnic celebrated at
Mrs. Sylvia Sutton's mill in Sampson county.
Relative to the picnic l have not a word to
say. But since this '~literary gem" has made
its appearance and been perused, some ofthe
more sensitive ladies that composed that par
ty have become offended at a portion of it,
and have have requested me to ask school
boy" for an explanation, which | presume he
possessing the requisite qualifications of a
g~entleman-will readily give. In speaking
of rowing the young ladies over the pond, he
said, and some Of the young ladies being cery
timid and hGUing a decided Gntipdthy to u N
ceremOnious ablutiOns, 1T toas a most glorious
chance to make them promise tohat they aoOuLd
OtherSoise haze shrunk from and blushed eUen
to think Of"
Am under the impression that the ladies
have placed a mis-construction upon tina
portion of "Schoolboy's" communication a
bove alluded to, which, of course, a ~satisfac
tory explanation from him will remove
Now, sir, tell them what you meant. Ifyol
refuse to do this Immediately, you may com
mence making preparations for the reception
of a most unmerciful tongue-lashing from tn
offended fair ones, which I can assure you
from experience, will not be productive
the most delectable or agreeable sensations

TIME.-What a blessed order of nature it.
is that the footsteps of time ar~einaudible, and:
noiseless, and that the seasons of life like,
those of the year, are so indistinguishably
brought on in gentle progression and are so.
blended, the one with the other, that the hu-
man being scarcely knows, except from a
faint and an unpleasant sensation, that he is
growing old!
So day steals into night through the GRIM
son curtains of twilight. So the golden gates
swing round n~oiseless as the portals of heaven.
Even the beat Of the heart is mufaed, that we
may not know how fast it struggles out
From the binding of the oak to the rolling of
the world, there is no clink in the machinery.
There is nc noise save Of helpless waves,
or the rent air groaning with the lightning's
bolt, or now and then the play of volcanoes
valves, or of the puny cries of insects, or of
men, in all this world of ours. The past is
dumb-the future silent, and the present
makes but a slight ripple, like the trailing of
q steamer on a quiet sea.

SAVANNAH, Ca, June, 1859.

Mr.. EDITOR Being notified by the "cross:
mark" that my subscription will soon expire,
| take this opportunity of renewing it; not.
only from the fact that | love the temperance:
cause, but also | like occasionally to hear the:
good word from the "Old North State" where,
l spent several years acquiring an education
and there is no paper, the spirit of which
l like better than your spirit"
We all need a prompter-I do at least. IF
We go into a neighborhood where any vice is
practiced by a majority of the citizens, and
there is no cry against it, though there may
be those who disapprove yet do not speak
out, and we settle Town among them, we are.
very apt after a while to get to the point
where, to say the least Of it, we will look up
on said vice with some degree of allowance.
This is especially the case with intemperance.
How easy it is to think, when we associate
with q certain class, that taking a social glass
is not mush harm. after all. Hence we re-
quire faithful monitors, such as good news
papers and men of true principles to tell us,
of our danger.
| am a strong advocate for Temperance,
though | seldom bore an Editor or any one
else with expressing my views and fearing
that your patience is already tried with the
length of this article, l will close.

The Hopeless Lunatic.

There she is at the CRATE Of her narrow cell,
pale, haggard, her glossy hair still in ringlets
though disheyelled, her seant garments tat
tered, looking steadily with intense gaze at
the long pathway which leads to the Asylum,
as if in constant expectancy of some loved,
yet long absent one. Listen to her melan-
choly wall as her eyes still peer in the dis
lance, ''he don't come-he don't come p
~Frantically she swiftly PAGES her cell, shrek
ing still, she don't comet" What heart so
hard as not to be touched at such a picture!
What curse SO shocking, so blasting, as the
doom of the hopeless maniac. What stroke
so crushing to poor human nature.
That same ruined, wrecked spirit, was, per-
chance, once the idol of a fathers heart
Young, gay, beautiful, but alas too confiding;
she trusted herself to the sworn honor, the
undying constancy, the plighted love of the
monster seducer. The hour of their crime
sealed her fate. He swore to be true, but his
very baseness made him fee from the victim
of his passions, never to return. When rea-
science dashed her guilty soul, she still barred
! her torn bosom to the storm, and said 'he
) viii come; ?. but when hope fed and no faint
r footstep was heard, no dim outline of her
base, cruel murderer was seen, madness seized
her frantic spirit, and she shrieked, 'he don't
q come" Ten long years have passed, and
/ still from that cheerless cell, the bitter val
e goes out, 'he don't come-he don't come"
If hers be a hopeless doom, what must be
the fate of her murderer? Can hell heat al
too hot a place-can anguish be too bitter
too agonizing-can eternity be too long, fo
the guilty wretch, who sealed the fate of tina
poor girl?

Celebration.

Mr.. EDITOR On last Saturday we had a,
Celebration or rather a demonstration at Nor.
Out. There was a very good at
tendance of the citizens of Mecklenburg.
considering the throng time in crops. About,
8 o'clock the members of Pineville Division.
with a number of visiting brethren, held a,
meeting for the purpose of arranging neces-
sary preliminaries, Bro. J.. G.. Wilkinson.
County D. G. w. P, presiding. At the close
of the meeting the members of the several
Divisions assembled at the store of Messrs.
Mendlas & Hemmershlag, where they were
called to order and formed into line by Rev.
+. Q. Harris, Marshal of the day, and from
thence we marched to a suitable stand in the,
grove prepared for the occasion near the
school house where Pineville Division holds
its meetings-Pineville, Steele Creek, White
Hall, Rock Island, Sharon, Big Springs, Meek
lenburg, Pleasant Hill and Mallard Greek Di-
visions, and Charlotte Section of Cadets be-,
ing represented.
After an appropriate prayer by Rev. O. A.
Darby, and singing an Ode, the Rev. Mr..
Chambers was introduced by Bro. G. w.
Campbell, who entertained the audience with
an able, eloquent and appropriate address up
on the subject of Temperance. He was fol-
lowed by Mr.. B. G. Presley in a few very
appropriate remarks. The audience was then
invited to partake of a Picnic dinner, which
was soon in readiness, and every body SEEM
ed perfectly willing to do justice TO the good
things set before them. After we had salts
fed the cravings of the inner man, announce
ment was made that there would be more
l speaking. The audience was invited back to
the stand, when Rev. O. A. Darby gave us a
; speech that pleased every body except old
Alcohol and his adherents, whom he handled
: with gloves off and sleeves rolled up, and es-
pecially that little low down establishment
, down by the Rail Roads
After the speaking was over the Division

the Division. TIL Division then adjourned
$ the crowd dispersed, and I think every body
went home well pleased. A.

Home Again.

We are again at our post, after a pleasant
from the wearing and confirming duties
of Editorial life. We left home quite unwell,
but have returned greatly refreshed and in
vigorated for the s. aties before US, and
with a more - sasyesr glorious
cause, than we have ever felt. We kept our
readers advised of our doings during our alb
! sence, and therefore have nothing now to say
but announce our safe return home, ano
pledge our unremitted attentions to our rea
ders to cater for their entertainment. TIL,

every where in the State, and we would lik
to see a corresponding increase of subscriber

Young Men at College.

We have several times recently alluded to
the habits of young men at College, and to
the prevalence of intemperance among them.
We do not single them out, because they are
worse or more liable to the charge of intern
perance than others nor is it because we
feel less concern for their welfare, and would
thus expose them to public censure. Far
from it.
We feel perhaps more deeply interested in
the welfare of young men, than almost any
other class of society and there is a special
reason why we should feel so in our educated
young men. Youth is the season oflife, most
beset with temptation and most liable to re-
ceive good or bad impressions. This is SO
generally true, that experienced educators
can generally form an idea what the man will
be, from the boy of fifteen or sixteen. At
are developed, and the habits become more
or less fixed. To the young too, we look for
the future of our country and race and as
the educated have the greater power of fash
iOlilIS CilC LldtlOn il tic d III dSCOIudiCC
with their own wills and tastes, it is all i'm
portant that they should receive the right bias.
If it be true then, which seems generally
to be conceded, that a large portion of young
men who graduate at the Colleges of the coun-
try, are seriously injured and many irrecov-
erably ruined by incorporate habits, it be-
! comes a matter of the most serious moment,
t as we have said before, to parents, guardians
and educators, to enquire into the u of
this, and remove it if possible. Many boys
! contract the habit, no doubt, of drinking be-
e fore they are removed from home-others are
induced to take the first step while at the
boarding school, and many after they enter
College.
But in the face of the most stringent laws
under the eye of the most watchful and ex
emplary Professors, and a positive prohibito
Try law that liquor shall not be sold within
two or three miles of the College Campus, i
may be asked how they get the liquor? Why
: with school boys, where there are means an,
n a will, there is a way. There are many mel
mean enough to risk the penalty of the law
who for the sake of gain, will prowl aroun,
our Colleges under cover of darkness and fur

nish any amount Of liquor they can get pay
for. If it cannot be obtained nearer, those
who have pockets full of money can get it
and do get it, if they have to send ten, twenty
and thirty miles for it. We should not be
surprised if this city furnishes from 800 to
$1,000 annually in intoxicating drinks to the
students at Chapel Hill. We do not know
it positively, but we have some well grounded
suspicious, to fear that it is so. Would that
ace knep 1T Wds not so how gladly would We
| publish it on the house-tops.
Now, the matter narrows itself down to the
this point. No laws however stringent, no
eve however watchful, no distance that is con-
trollable, can prevent young men, who have
tasted and become enamored with intoxicating
liquor, from obtaining it at any risk or cost
If thev are furnished mith the means TO bay at
Here perhaps is the root of the evil at all the
Colleges. The institution, professors, villa
gers, and the vendors of intoxicating liquors
are blamed and abused by parents for the ruiz
of their sons, when, however much may b
attached to some of them, ten fold more mus
fall on the heads of parents for the loose an
extravagant manner in which their sons ar
supplied with money or credit, while passin
throughthe College course.
1t was an opportune suggestion made b
the Board of Examiners recently at the Un
versity, which advised parents to reduce IL
supplies. 1t would cure a thousand evils ar

Educational Convention.

The State Educational Convention met at
Newbern, On the 14th instant. The attend
ance was large. Gov. Ellis, and Ex-Gov.
Swain, were there. We notice in the pro-
ceedings, the names of a considerable num-
Der of distinguished gentlemen. The opening
address was delivered by Rev Baxter Clegg,
of DIN. Several other interesting addresses
were delivered, during the sitting of the Con-
~vention, and an essay, by Mrs. Della w.
Jones, was read. The press was represented
by w. W. Holden, M. S. Sherwood, c.. c.
Cole, Mr.. Yates, Mr.. Loring and Mr..
Dunn.
Immediately after the adjournment of the
Convention, those visitors and delegates who
desired it, were accommodated with a train
to visit Morehead and Carolina Cities, Beau
fort and Fort Macon, on the shores of the At
lantic. Many availed themselves of this OPP
portunity, to look, for the first time, on the
heaving, restless pillows of old oeean-as i'm
pressive a sight to those who have never
seen it, as the towering mountains are to
those who, for the first time, gaze upon the
giant forms of the everlasting hills.
We clip the above brief notice from one of
our exchanges, and regret that the crowded
state of our columns to-day, prevents a more
extended one. A young friend who was
present has promised to give US a full account
of his trip for our next numbers embracing a
running account of what he saw on the. way,
as well as a notice of the Educational Con-
~vention.
We have met with the worthy President
of the Convention, W. W. Holden, Esq,
(who well deserves the compliment of being
placed at the head of the Association on &C.
count of the lively and enthusiastic interest
he has always manifested in its behalf,) anG
d he informs US it was one of the proud day!
for North Carolina, being the harbinger of
o still brighter day in the Educational Interests
of our good old State-already ahead of mos
of her sister States in this essential qualifca
ton for greatness and success. There wer
near 800 delegates in attendance, embracing
N a large proportion of the talent, wisdom an,
experience of the State. But our Correspon
u dent will tell US all about it next week.
