Literature in the South.

We are glad to believe that a better day is
coming for the development of Southern Lit
erature. The want of appreciation and the
small profits accruing to those engaged in
literary pursuits in the South, have been the
cause Of the small advance which has hereto
fore been made. The public mind is working
up to the subject, and we hopeto see the day,
when the literary labors of Southern men
will be suitably rewarded
The superior facilities of the North for the
production of literature hitherto has led even
Southern authors to patronize Northern pub
fishing houses; but the necessity for this is
growing less. Whenever the Southern mind
is turned as intently as it should be to the
support Of its own productions of equal merit,
we may hope a rapid progress in the fields of
literature. Heretofore the artistic finish of
Northern productions, however dull, or prof
ltless, have given then the ascendancy in the
market. Until the South becomes the equal
Of the North in this respect, we cannot hope
fully to compete with her. 1t is SO in peri
oulcal as well as IN more Solid forms Of litera-
ture.
Let the South establish publishing houses,
fully competing with the North, and then we
shall be on an equal footing in the contest for
literary fame. The results of this conflict
will be a purer and better literature, and the
benefits will be mutual.
But the South must support its own. Great
improvements are going on in our periodical
press-more are needed, but they will be eff
fected whenever Southern patronage demands
it. Hitherto, every thing Northern has -four.
lshed, while some of the best enterprises o.
Southern efforts have utterly failed. WHY
is this? Simply because the idea has prevail
ed that nothing Southern can equal those o.
the North. Let the South be true to herself

Complimentary.

The following complimentary notices from
some of our exchanges, we confess, are high
ly gratifying to our feelings, not only on ac-
count of the praise bestowed upon the appear
ance of our paper, but especially of the en-
dorsement Of the press as to our faithfulness
and zeal in conducting the Temperance organ
OF the State. We have endeavored to dis
charge our whole duty in advancing the in
terests of the great moral enterprise commit
ted to our charge, and the highest reward we
can receive, is the appreciation of our efforts
by our brethren and those wishing well to the
cause.
We are publishing a large weekly paper
devoted to Temperance, pure Literature and
the diffusion of general information among
the people-at the low price of one dollar
to clubs of five and upwards-it is publish
ed at the South, and at as low rates as any
Northern journal, and ought to receive a very
extensive patronage. May We not ask every
friend to Southern literature and Southern
enterprise to aid in extending its circulation ?
Hear what some of our brethren of the Press
say of us:

The bell struck one! There was one more
crime written by the Angel of the Golden
Book of Remembrance against the name of
Edmund Rowand. There was one more tear
of sympathy dropped by the sorrowing angels

arbors of honeysuckle, yet the same pale face

righteous vengeance.

REVIVAL OF RELIGION IN GoLDsBoRo'.-The
Goldsboro' correspondent of the Newbern
Progress, of the 18th inst, says:
The extraordinary revival of religion in this
community still continues. 1t is confined
almost exclusively to the NJ. E. Church, al
though the services in that Church are large
ly attended by members of other denomina-
tons friendly to the cause of religion
About so persons have been admitted into
the Church, many of whom received baptism
on last Sabbath, some by immersion and 9TH
ers by sprinkling, at the hands of the pastor,
Rev. R. S. Barrett. The baptism by INNER
sion was administered at the river, and was
witnessed by one of the largest assemblages
of people that ever met upon those banks.

~ A case is under investigation, a
the Detroit AdUertiser of the 18th, in the po-
lice court of that city, involving the right of a
man to take back the presents he has made a
girl when she says she won't have him, and
is getting ready to marry somebody else. A
young man who had disposed of about seven
ty-fve dollars worth of jewelry in this way,
during a three years courtship, is on trial

and seizing the property, when he had dis
covered it was to adorn another mans wife.

~ Alcohol is a slow poison, which heats
the blood, infiames the stomach, weakens the
nervous system, impairs the mental faculties,
and renders the body loathsome to the sight.
But not half the benefits of cold water have
yet been told. 1t is mans natural drink
quenching thirst better than other liquid
and seldom requires caution in its use. 1t
agrees with the bowels, promotes digestion,
gives an appetite, and assists nature in all her
functions. Finally, it neither makes a man
sick, nor in debt, nor his wife a widow.
Boys, the habit of using alcoholic bevera-
ges is often fatally contracted in early life
Remember this, and drink only man's natural
beverage, abjuring the poison.

The CHARLESTON CoNvExT1eN.-Now that
our State Conventions are over, the centre of
attraction next seems to be the National De-
mocratic Convention, which is to meet in
Charleston, S-O3pn the 26th Of April. The
qu'd muncs are beginning to declare with dis
tlnctlve accuracy as to who Will be the win
ner IN that race. Some assert most positive
ly that Judge Douglas viii receive the nomi-
nation, by reclamation, on the second ballot.
Others say that Douglas stock is falling, and
that Dickinson, of New York, is sure to be
the man. And yet others declare that Mr..
Hunter, of Va, is getting the inside track and
will be the winner of the purse.
We see no mention of any North Carolinian
for the Presidency, but they give her two
chances for Vice President, viz: Mr.. WINS
low, of the Cape Fear District; and Mr.. Sen
ator Clingman.
Time alone will determine whether either
of these, or some other men win be the nom.

Early RISING :

Oh. Halls Journal of Health, is generally
a very reliable and skillful instructor in the
department of hygieae. It's suggestions may
be received and practiscd upon with safety,
but generalreaders need to be guarded against
the interpretations, captions or annotations of
the newspapers, upon the very plain and prac-
teal prescriptions of that Journal.
We were recently somewhat startled at a
caption put by a newspaper editor to a very
sensible paragraph, which we found upon
reading il. 1t ran on this wise, '~'protest
against early rising" and at once we observ-
edthat the protest was prosessedly from Dr.
Halls journal of Health Thought we, is it
possible, that the wise, the great and the good
OF this world, for 10! these thousand years,
have been in error as to the heaNhiness and
utility of early risinga How did it come
about, that it has remained a secret to the
world, until the nineteenth century, for DR..
Hall to enlightensmankind, that early rising,
was a pernicious- and unwhelesome practice ?
But when We read the article by the DR., we
saw it was Anything else but a protest.
