OF the progress of our Order in other St,tes
which we copy, feeling assured it will be read
with interest by our readers. 1t Is indeed =
matter Of great rejoicing to read these sionc

We have recently published encouraging ac-
counts from Virginia, South Carolina. Ten.
nesse and some portions of Georgia and AIN
bama. In our own State, in many portions
the work is advancing finely. God grant that
we may soon have to report a glorious revival
all over the State, in every town and neigh
borhood.
WIscoNsIN.-The State Temperance So

to revive the cause and reorganize the Tenn

Brown, Esq, the eloquent orator and gallant
editor of the "Chig:" The selection is a
capital one for no man in this Union writes
and talks Temperance to please our notion so
well as /. W. Brown. We regret. however.

n PENNsYLyANIA.-We are indebted n broth
or Nicholson, G. S. of Pennsylvania, for the
following very cheering letter from the Key
stone State, dated Philadelphia. April 18th:
Editor Of Firginia Conductor: Dear

Son Of Temperance, got into my box and was

from the city, and another in the city. To-
day G. W smith andP. G. W. p. Foust go

New YoRK.-Unmistakable signs of pro,
gress arc manifested in New York in favor OF
Temperance, and the recent report of the G
=. W.. p. for the Eastern part of the State gives
az US reason to believe that the Rip Van Wrinkle
nap OF the Temperance army is at an end
; and henceforth they intend to battle with ;
spirit and determination worthy of the cause
- which they profess to love. Corrupt legisla
ton and an Subscriptions judiciary have for
time forced drunkenness upon the people o
that State, but the second sober thought o
ter the honest masses will consign the actors il
TINS Ubiquitous liquor intrigue into that meri
ted obscurity, which their treachcrv so richl,
merits.
New ENGLAHD.-The Boston Visitor an
the Hdtne Journal give abundant evidence i
ton their well-filled columns of correspondent
bit and editorial natter, that New England is do
ing ing her whole duty in the Temperance refoI
and nation. Mass achusetts, we think. is at tbi
so time leading the van of the fight, closely an
mn vigorously followed by Maine, New Hamr
Ie shire and Vermont. Connecticut is playinl
IN the laggard, whiskey and politics being some
oeen what in the ascendant, though strong effort
Gay will doubtless be made this year to wheel he
into the Temperance line. Push on the co
di- umn, good friends. Let the war cry be utt,
