Virginia

Many of the citizens of this Stase express
the opinion, that whatever step Virginia may
take in the present crisis of affairs, North
Carolina win follow. If this be true, it is a
matter of deep interest to our people to be
advised of the proceedings Of the Virginia
State Convention now in session. We there
fore gather the following items from our Yir-
GINA exchanges
Since the reception Of Lincoln's Inaugural
address, some of the strongest Union men in
the Convention, such as Goggin, F~lournoy and
others, have introduced resolutions-some for
resuming her powers delegated to the general
governmental and declaring herself independent,
and then calling a convention of the slave
states to determine upon measures for pro-
lection and a new constitution. Others,
declaring that Virginia viii repel all attempts
at coercion towards the seeded States. and
requesting the cooperation of the border slave
States in affecting a plan for uniting with the
South, with the hope of restoring harmony
to the Union, and Of reforming the Z. S. up
on the basis of the Constitution modified to
protect the rights of persons and Ns-r~~y~-
territory in all time and that in the event Of
a separation Of Va from tie Z. S, the gov
eminent property in Va. ought to be resumed
by her, &c, &c.
1t is said that rapid changes in public ser
timent are taking place in Virginia, ma that
"in the Convention there are GO Immediate
seeessionists, and the number is hourly III
creasing; whereas but a few days since there
were but Al s~ecessionists, all told"
A letter writer says-"The Seces,iouiS'
dealt the Inaugural some hard blows, all,
this feeling was apparent among the people
:. but a majority of the Union men oppose hast,
action, and may perhaps prevent an ord name
of secession"

Won,an's influence.

A very heavy responsible " rests apon the
female sex at this peculiar crisis IN the tenn
peranee enterprise, for t is an absolute fact
that the celebrating forces, which if properly
used, would give an irresistible force and im-
petus to the success of its principles, area
their command. So long as the VI tucus and
respectable young lady admits the company,
and receives the attention Of young men who
sip the flowing VINE. and drink from rnvrTsa-
dening bowl, 50 long viii young men drink,
and become the drunken husbands and faith
ers of the Rext generation Let but the la
dies declare that the use of strong drinks shall
debar the young men from their society and
favorable regards, and they will do more
to redeem the present generation from a
~drunkards grave, than a thousand lectures
could accomplish. Ladies, will you discharge
the solemn responsibility, or will you choose
husbands whose habits will sooner or later
embitter your days?

BGF The Author of a work entitled "A
Life for a Life" says in one of its many ex-
cellent passages-"I have been thinking how
horrible it must be to see anybody uncared
for, drunk the honest eyes dull and mean
ingless the wise lips jabbering foolishness;
the whole face and figure, instead of being
what one likes to look at, takes pleasure to
see in the same room, even-growing ugly,
irrational, disgusting-more like a beast than
a man. Yet some women have to bear it,
have to speak kindly to their husbands, hide
their brutishness, and keep them from ma
king worse fools of themselves than they can
help. | have seen it done, not merely by
working mems wives, but lady-wives in draw
ing-rooms. I think, if were married, and |
saw my husband the least overcome by wine,
not drunk maybe, but just excited, silly,
otherwise than his natural self, it would near.
ly drive me wild. Less on my own account
than his. To see him sink-not for a grea,
crime, but a contemplate, cowardly bit Of
sensualism-from the height where my love
had placed him to have to take care of him
to pity him-ay, and might pity him, but
think the full glory and passion of my low
would die out, then and there, forever"

Southern Congress.

By intelligence from Montgomery, where
the Southern Congress is in session, xelearn
that the propositions of the Washington Peace
Congress will not even be taken into conside-
ration there and in no event will the rule Of
Lincoln be submitted TO.
The permanent Constitution Of the Confed-
eracy is now being elaborated, III order to
submitted to the Congress and TO the States.
1t will provide that South Of Kansas and Of
Utah slavery shall be established beyond the
power of Congress or of the Northern States
ever to abolish it, or in any way TO interfere
with the rights it %confers.
The idea which has prevailed to some ex-
tent IN South Carolina, that only slave States
can be admitted to the Confederaey, is repu-
dated by the controlling men, and by the ma
jority Of the Congress. The Constitution will
provide for the admission of Gse States, Of
course with suitable guarantees -
Full powers win be given to the. Congress
to levy duties on imports and exports. The
tariff recently enacted will Immediately be
amended, and will probably be made to i'm
pose an export duty of one per cent. on cot
ton, tobacco and rice. The duties on most
imports viii be fixed at ten per cent, and
these rates will be made to take effect on Jan
uary /, 1862.

The 6nyention Election.

Returna< Aen received, Official and
reported, fronk rs of the 81 counties in the
State, which return rs Unionists elected and
81 Secessioniss. The counties to be heard
from will probably return 8 Union men and
l Secessionist-givin the Unionists 80
members, and the Secessionists 80. The
Unionists seen to have made a clean sweep
west ofthe Blue Ridge, by electing Union men
in every county.
Between " Convention" and "No Conven-
tion," the vote is very close. Seyenty-four
counties foot up only 800 majority for Con-
v~ention, with ale following counties to hear
from-viz: Alexander, Cherokee, Jackson,
Macon, Stanly, Tyrrell, Watauga and Yancey
nearly all Of which, we think it may with
confidence be stated, will give majorities
against a Convention. We think there is nj
doubt about the people having refused to cal
a Convention, by perhaps one or two thous

P. S.-Since the above was in type, ",
learn that the official returns from all but tw,

into consideration what steps North Carolin
ought new to take. Another Convention wi

A Weekly Family News paper.
Is It A Necessity.

The Order of the Sons of Temperance, or
Temperance organization, is a necessity
in the land It's protecting shield is needed
to protect the young from the snares and
temptations that every where beset them;
and its beacon1fres are needed all along the
dark stream Of intemperance to light the per
ishing victim back to hope and life again.
o. how many hundreds and thousands of
sober men are there now in this land, who
might nay, aOouM hare been d~runkards, had
it not been for the lessons of total abstinence
they received in the Division room, when
they were in the slippery paths of youths,
and just stepping out on the busy, perilous
theatre of active life There are hundreds
and thousands this day, pursuing the various
professions and filling honorable and useful
positions in society, in state and church, VINO,
but for this institution, would now be wal
lowing in the mire Of intemperanee, or rottng
in drunkard's graves. But they were saved
from the evils of inebriety by early uniting
with the Sons of Temperance.
And how many thousands are there, who
utter Thanksgiving and praise to God from
warm and grateful hearts, that ever this Order
was instruction. it has snatched them as
brands from the burning and restored them
to their family, society aud to the world, and
converted them from vile ulcers on the body
poliG, to honorable members of community
and given them toAthe church as useful and
valuable members.
Such an Institution then is blessing to
, any community in which it is located, and all
, good citizens should labor to keep one in ex-
istence to bless the people among whom they

How to Prosper.

One of the most efficient and practical
means of securing the interest of Sons of
Temperament the work Of the Order, is to give
him something to read concerning it. And
especially is it important that he should read
a Temperance newspaper. 1t is highly es-
sential then, that the Deputy G. w. p, or
some other member of the Order, should
strive to get every member of his Division to
subscribe for one. 1t is almost impossible
for a Division to become dull and unpro6ta-
BILE. by its members staying away from its
meetings, if they are regular readers of their
Temperance paper. 1t keeps their pure
minds stirred up by way of remembrance"
as st. Paul says, and when the time comes
round for>the meeting of the Division, they
not only do not forget ii, but they feel inter-
ested and love to go. And with such mem
bers, the cause cannot lag or falter.
We have a case in point :-Jonesboro' Di-
vision in Camden county, subscribes for 10
copies of the Age, to be gratuitously circula-
ted and besides these there are 35 copies ia
ken by individual members /! What is the con-
sequence? Why, just what one might expect
Ithas the largest number o~fmembers, (thougt
located in the country both male and female
and is accomplishing a greater amount o
: good, and doing more faithful service to tn
! cause, than any Division in the State.
; Let those Divisions that are complainini
of the Order, and the lukewarmness of thei
! members, read a lesson of wisdom from thi
example, and 60 and do likewise, and simila
! results will follow.

Persuasion and Law.

One of the most difficult tasks in the world
is to convince some of our Temperance friends
that moral suasion and legal enforcement are
directly and intimately connected; that one
is the commencement, the other the fuller and
more practical development of the reforma-
ton that moral suasion is to the law what
steam is to the locomotive the former drives
the engine and the other draws the train after
it. Moral suasion prepares the public mind,
and beingthus prepared, it resolves itself into
law, and the law, when properly enforced
drags out of the community those miserable
dens of pollution where, by the sale of bad
whiskey, wicked men destroy humanity by
wholesale and retail, and who but for the aid
of law manufactured by moral ~suasion, would
still go on making paupers and criminals, for
the sober men who sympathise with the as
sumed rights ofthe rum-seller as well as those
who would pillory the traffic, to take care of.
The whole object of moral reform is to en-
tighten the public mind and elevate the pub
lie sentiment on the Temperance question,
and just as soon as that point is attained by
the people, the blossom, moral s~uasion, is more
fully developed into the glorious fruit of legal
enforcement.
