S~ECTIoNALIsM FAILING.-The Abolition con-

ern Convention of radicals at the South, have
both proved a flash in the pan this year.
From these signs we hope that the p~estilent
game of sectionalism is about played out, and
that both factions will be put down by the
sober, CO nservative people of all sections.

Progress Of the Order.

New DUIsIoS.-The Grand Scribe issued
last week a charter for a new Division. TO be
located at Jackson, in Craven County. The
application was signed by twenty gentlemen.
With such a beginning, we may fully calcu-
late upon a large Division there, whose in
fucnce for good will tell powerfully in that
community. Success to them.
LoursBURG We learn from the Eagle that
old Washington Division celebrated it's ami
versary recently in grand style. The Sons
paraded in large numbers, an able and elo-
oucnt address was delivered by Rev. T.. P.
Ricaud and at night a grand party was given.
Il was n great time. We did think some Of
our friends there would nave given US an ac-
count Of the celebration, but they nave not.
Surprising! Who's to blame?
LIScoLN CoUNrY AT the last term of the
Superior Court held in the Comfy Of Lin
coin. I was a member Of the Grand jury
We passed upon sixty-fVe bills ofindictments
sixty Of them were the fruits Of liquor
four of them for selling contrary to law, the
balance for fights and ARRAYS caused by the
use Of strong drink. Notwithstanding, ]
think the cause of Temperance is going on
successfully. South Fork Division, No. 243,
is increasing, so are some Of the sister Divis.
ions in the County. There was an act passed
Mt the last session Of the Legislature of the
State, prohibiting the sale Of spirituous Ii
quors within two miles Of Catawba College
located at Newton, provided a majority o
the legal voters within the corporation wer,
in favor oft. Two weeks ago the Election
was held in Newton, and the law was sus
tanned by a majority Of eight. Thank Coz
for the success; and may the blessing Q
Heaven rest upon the heads of the good cit
2ens of Newton, and the time be perpetual
prolonged, that ardent spirits shall be KEEP
away from that place. j. 9.

pointments ahead of us. There is a genel
