The UTLEY GUs.-We are glad to hear
that a sufficient sum is.now nearly raised
for casting a six FOUNDER of the cannon in
vented by Mr. Grey Utley of N. C. Supe-
rior judges pronounce it a very superior gun,
capable of doing rapid execution at a long
distance. We believe, ourselves, if few of
these guns, oflarge ealibre, were now in the
service, they would execute wonders. The
attention of the Legislature is called to it.

q Some of the Northern papers speak
of the battle between McCuiloch and LION
as "a victory TO the northern arms" Upon
which the New York Post remarks:
"A victory which costs such a man and
such a General as Lyon, and is followed by
a retreat, and then a second retreat, belongs
decidedly to that class of which a renowned
General said that "a few more such victories
would ruin him"

A Weekly Family News paper.
Not to be Overlooked.

While public attention is so universally
and almost exclusively directed to the great
revolution now in progress in our country.
it is a~llimpoTtant that it should not be SO
absorbed as to cause other great interests to
be neglected. Parents have children in the
army, for whose safety and comfort they
very justly have the most extreme solicl-
tude. We have not o word to say against
this worthy and material feeling, but would
promote it by all means in our power. But
they have children at home whom they
should feel and care for also. Now to the
object of this article:
Your sons at home are exposed to a foe as
deadly to their health and lives as malaria,
exposure or musket and cannon balls. 1t
is the love of intoxicating drinks. The ques-
ton comes up what can be done to save the
young from becoming victims to this temp
ting but deadly vicef Can anything be
done efectually to save thems We believe
that much can be done, and ought to be at
tempted. 1t is the imperative duty of pa
SsASc IN od tiiC lit nave lllLu6UCE over
the young, to guard and protect them as far
as possible against the temptations of the
intoxicating glass. If boys are allowed to
drink spurious liquors, however sparingly
or cautiously at first, they will, perhaps in a
majority of cases, become inebriates and
~drunkards. Hence parents should never al
low spirituous liquors to be used by their
children ministers should be faithful in
their private intercourse as we'll as in the
pulpit, in exposing and opposing the use of
spirits as a beverage churches should he
strict in their discipline, and carry out the
scriptural doctrine on this point; and all the
friends of humanity, whether influenced by
religious principle or not, should by precept
and example, set themselves firmly against
the use of intoxicating liquors.
While we admit the Importance of tenn
; perance lectures and temperance papers to
ditfuse light and keep the attention fixed on
this monster evil, we confess that we look
with still greater interest and hope to proper
examples to be set by the heads of families
before their children. Such examples woulG
be the most potent power against intemper-
ance. While some, whose parents never
allowed them to drink spirituous liquors
might become inebriates, there is very little
hope for those whose parents, by precep
and example, have taught them to drink.
If there is any subject in which parent:
:, ought to feel deeply anxious, it is in prevent
ing their children from forming a taste o
= fondness for alcoholic liquors. So long al
= children are furnished with sweetened dram
so long will the country abound in drunk
u ards. 1t is of little avail what other inhu-
ences are brought to bear.

furious reports were in circulation in North
Carolina affecting the courage, &c, of Lieut..
Col. Leach, he is out in the Standard de-
nouncing The SANDER and the fabricator in
the bittereSt sort of terms. And TO Col
Leach's letter is affixed the folio Sing Card,
signed by the Commissioned officers of the
Regiment:
CAMP RHEET, (near Manassas junction
August 10, 1861.
As commissioned officers Of the 18th Rec.
iment n. Z. Volunteers, it affords us pleas
ure TO contradict the report now in @cireula-

showed a want OF bravery in the battles of
Bull Run and Stone Bridge. of Thursday
and Sunday. the 18th and 2lst ult. and "a

both days, bore himself bravely and gallant

Gown the entertainments and speaking words
OF cheer and encouragement to the brave
soldiers.

IN the evening, when the first news reached
us on the left, he gallOped off in that direc-

from other regiments and after we were mr..

wing, ne overlook and joined US at the edge
OF the old held, one mile and a half from
Mltcneils Ford, where we were stationel-
And II Is utterly false that he was arrested
Tor want OF bravery. We likeais e take
pleasure IN stating that 1t. Col. Leach has
discharged his duty as a gallant officer. and
is generally beloved by the Regiment.
In connection with this Islander, the Fay
e~tteville Observer says:
Wehave been amazed to hear, by letter from
a correspondent, aohO has been circulating
THESE reports TO the prejudice Of Col. Leach.

at least who has re;ailed them ought 10 be

than thus to strike her, through a eslumny

When he consents to leave Office and go in
to battle himself, he will acquire a right to
~crIticise the conduct Of Col. Leach, but even
then he should be careful that be is guilty
OF retailing no foul Islander.
And our remark il, that whoever It be to
whom the Observer aliudes, his name should
be given to the pubic, and then he be kicked
out of the office he disgraces. We have no
idea who is alluded to.

@Alas-how light a cause may move
Dtsscnsions between hearts that love !
Hearts that the world Is vain had tried;
And sorrow but more closely tied
That stood the storm, when waves were rough,
Yet In n sunny hour fall of,
Like ships that have gone down at sea,
When heaven was all tranquility.
Atomething, light as ARA look,
A word unkind, or wrongly taken
Oh love, that tempests never shook,
a breath, a touch like this hath shaken.
And rnder words viii soon rush in
To spread the breach that words begin;
And eyes forget the gentle ray
They wore In courtship's smiling day
And voices lose the tone that shed
A tenderness round oil they said;
Til faet declining, one by one,
The sweetnesses of love are gone,
And hearts, so lately mingled, seem
Like broken clOuds-or like the stream,
ThaGanANlna lQn the xpnuniain's brow.
het, ere u reach the plain below,
Breaks Into floods, that part forever.
Oh you, that have the charge Of Love,
Keep him in rosy bondage bound,
As In the Fields of Bliss above,
He ats, with fowrets fetter'd round:
Loose not a tie that round him clings,
Nor ever let him use his wings
For eY'n an hour, u Minutes flight.
VIII rob the plumes of half their fight.
Like that celestial bird whose nest
IL found beneath far Eastern skies
Whose wings, though radiant when at rest.
Lose all their glory when he fiesI
Some difference, OF this dangerous kind
by which, though light, the links thar bind
The fonde u hearts may soon be given:
some shadow In loves summer heaven,
Which, though n heecy speck at first.
May yet IN awfnl thunder burst

Recommendation IS y 6iM before
the Legislature to abolish the State Cony en-.
ton, which is to become a law, or not. as the
people may decide at the ballot box. Now.
it strikes US that this way of legislatins has
been decided by the authorities as unconsti-
tional. We remember very well that when.
some years since, the Temperance men of
North Carolina asked the Legislature to pass
an act for restraining the Ubiquitous evils of
the liquor traffic, to be referred to the peo-
pie for ratification, we were told that such an
act would be unconstitutional, as the General
Assembly had no authority for shifting leg.
~islatiye responsibility from their shoulders to
those of the people and that it had been so
declared by the Supreme Court wnh reference
to an act passed for the establishment Of a
Pe%nitentiary, to be a law or not, as the ma
jority of the people might determine at the
polls. Other decisions of a like nature were
brought forward, and we were ruled out for
asking for the package OF an uae0ngtu ution,
al act.
We heard the other day, one of the very
members who urged this objection to the
Temperance memorial, vehemently adyoca-
ting the bill to abolish the Convention, the
law to be contingent upon the ratification of
the people. We have nolhfog to Go with the
political phase of the question, but in tie
name of the thirty thousand citizens who
signed our Temperance memorial, we would
like to ask, ifit was unconstitutional in oul
case, is it most equally so in this? If the
position taken agains: our memorial was cor
rect, does not the present movement involve
the Legislature III committing an uneonsti
%tutional act, and then call upon the people t
sustain them in it? We should ike to know.

La,e., from Richmona.

A Union spy, who left Washington
some three weeks ago for Richmond, left
the latter place on Wednesday last and
has reached Washington. He brings i'm
portant intelligence which he Immediately
communicated to our government He
says the greatest excitement prevailed in
Richmond and throughout the South, re-
specting the naval and military expedi-
tions, along the entire southern coast
The troops from the States most exposed
signi6ed their determination to return
home, and large numbers had already
started In Richmond, a few days before
he left, much difficulty was experienced
in queling rebellious spirit among sew
cral regiments from Georgia, South Caro-
lima and Louisiana, They we're restrain
ed ouly by positive promises from jeff.
Davis and the Secretary of war, that
sufficient number of troops should be dis
patched from those states to protect not
only the states, but to drive the internal
Yankees from southern soil. He states
that preparations are being made to re-
move the capital from Richmond. The
Virginians, however, were indignant, and
wore threatening divers things against
their Congress. There seemed to be, he
says, very general feeling among the
southern people to abandon Virginia en-
tirely. and allow her to fall into the hands
of the federal government They regard
ed it as too expensive to keep an army on
her soil. The rebels hope now is, judging
from what he heard them say, merely to
keep our army from advancing into the
anterior from their coast landings.
