THE DEAD MOTHER.-'Twas dark and lower
ing afternoon that we stood beside the confined
form of the poor dead mother, whose lamp OF
life burned out so quickly, leaving a widowed
husband and two mOtherless babies to mourn her
early loss. Life's ftful CLEAN was over with her
now, and she slept "the sleep that knows no
waking" Sorrowng friends had robed her frail
form in garbs of spotless purity and garlanded
her hands around with Springs fresh flowers
The beautiful trust and simplicity of chldhood's
years had gone with her through early woman
hood, and at its close her love for the flowers,
those silent Messengers of the Great Eternal's
goodness, was yet so strong and pure that among
her last requests was the one that they might be
with her still through the valley and shadow
OF DEATH" even down into the graves dark
home of clay. Yes, lay her gently away to rest,
with all these sweet perfumes about her, for she
loved them in life, and pcrchance they may help
TO hallow her tomb.
And tits well 10 fold the wax like hands so
quietly over the still and pulseess bosom that so
long has throbbed with all Consumption's bar
rowing pains, for her slumbers are so sweet that
no childish prattle lisped by children dear, or
husbands words of love can wake her now.
Sleep on, thou angel dreamer, and when the
curtains of the Great Hereafter shall be drawn
aside, for us to go hence, we shall hope to meet
thee, robed in purer white, and garlanded with
yet purer flowers than decked thy burial brow.

That Mighty Evil.

The Dashaways and Good Templars Of this city
are doing much for the benefit of the community.
They have rescued many from the jaws of death
-snatching them as they hung on the impending
whirl of the fatal maelstrom. To wholly erad-
cate the evil of drinking would seem to be an
impossibilty- the practice has become almost
part of civilization itself; and the use of sim-
uants is, unfortunately, too often sanctioned by
the example of those who are among the greatest,
and wisest and best of our modern men, In fact,
it would almost that the affairs of the great
world depended upon the processes of disillation
and fermentation. The great majority OF our
public men-our leaders'i in the State and Nation
al legislatures-are, we are sorry TO say, addicted
to the use of ardent spirits They speak under
its influence, and legisate under it. Keeling
Senator's uphold the pillars of State, and stag
gerng Representatives decree the destinles OF
the nation. Drunken traitors threaten treason in
the halls of the National Capitol, and drunken
patriots confront and deDounce them. Presi-
dents messages insprited by old rye and
Ministers Of rival powers negotiate solemn treat
les with bottle of brandy or Burgundy as arbi-
traitor between them. Nor is this all. Through
all the ramlficatons of society the evil extends
It's false inspiration is visible in the rudest as
well as the most refined of the social circles. The
breath of the demon is upon the lips Of the gay
waltzer in the dance and his subtle spirit is too
often seen in the flush that climbs to beauty's
cheek. The clerk behind his counter, the judge
upon his bench, the writer at his desk, the labor
er at his task (though this latter class not SO
much as the others,) all betray to a greater or
less degree the hectic of the fever in their veins
1t is eminently drinking generaton-we may
say drinking world, for there has been no peri
cd to which the mind runs back, in which the use
ofntoxcating draughts was not known. Scarcely
an island has been discovered in the sea in which
the inhabitants have not from time immemoral
concocted their stimulating beverages; and there
never was found race Of people upon either con-
tinent without some sort of prevalent stimulus.
Is, then, this appetite natural to humanity, and
coexistent with it ?-the poison of that serpent
tooth with which the devil bit the earth from
its BIRTH" and which still infuses itself through
the veins of Adams descendants, from genera
tion to generation 1t is well known that this
appetite may be transmitted, and that children
have been born with an Unsuitable thirst for spir-
ituous liquors, which has exhibited itself at an
astonishingly early PERIODS r. Evening Journal

War Against North Carolina.
The Norfolk Day Book. saws

The Norfolk Day Book SAYS:
The schooner George NJ. Smith, left New
York, on the Sd of April, witha regular
clearance, bound to Wilmington n. G., with
an assorted cargo of merchandise. Ten gun
carriages were on board, shipped by Cooper
& Pond, of New York. The schooner put
into Hampton Roads in distress on the 25th,
Thursday being short If provisions. The
steamtug Young America, of this city, being
in the Roads in search of a schooner bound
to this port, which she had been sent TO tow
up, observing the sign Is of distress bore to-
wards her, and was fired into hy boat of
the Cumbe, land, then ON her way TO the
schooner, which was soon followed 0y a shot
ted gun from the Cunt erland which struck
the tug near the sta, boa,d how, without do
ing any serious damage No thanks to flag
officer Pendergrast The steamlug was then
ordered alongside of the frigate and is now
heldas p ize, with her crew.
Tue schr. George NJ Smith was also sciz
ed and is now detained a. Old Point as a
PRIZE OF WAR, by flag officer Pendergrast, Of
the United States Navy, with her crew and
cargo.
The ground of this extraordinary seizure
of the schooner and steamtug, AS OFFICIALLY
AvowED, Is that gun carriages shipped from
New York to North Carolina on the sec nd
of April, were articles coRtraband Of acar,
which subjects the vessels in which they
were found, to seizure and confscation by
Lincoln's government, as also any vessel pro-
ceeding to relieve her distress in the watel s
So. Fl seems from this proceeding, that in
| tho iadpamant af haI officer PeaaerrTdst,
/ that as early as the I'd OF April, state Of
war existed between the late government Of
the United States and the State of N'rth
Carolina This " i'll be news even TO the
monster at the head of the government for
on the 18th Of April, he called OF tic Old
North State for her quota of men aid arms
| to defend him.
We hope this intelligence will spread like
wild-fire through the old North State, and
rouse her people from the mountains 10 the
low lands to do battle tor her lb"rti 5 under
the banner of the Confederate States.
