you, then | entreat you not to shrink from
aiding in this great moral reformation, but
reflect that influence is a powerful engine

the usages of society, the use of spiIitasus
lquors-that seductive habit which has
numbered among its victims the brightest
ornaments of human nature. Then the uni
ted voices of myriads yet unborn shall bless
you, as being instrumental in r~eseuing them
from the chains of that tyrant, whe, in his
march to dominion, stalks over the rufus of
genius and the crushed hopes of domestic
life.

press on, fair ladies, and may the heavens
glow with eternal beauty over your heads, to

United States in 1850, spent the enormous
sum OF one hundred million Of dollars for
liquor, at least one-third of that amount
must have been paid eut by the southern
States. Since that time the increase Of
population, the present high price of all
intoxicating drinks, and the increased
quantity consumed, must now cost the PEG.

The people are already complaining of
hard times, heavy taxes and the high price
of the necessaries of life. Would it not be
better to relinquish their p~otations, and
appropriate the cost of them to the sup

ruin. We heard an eminent Divine, a few
weeks ago, remark in the Pulpit, that there
were more men in hell than on earth and
we verify believe drunkenness consigns a
majority of them to that place of woe and
destruction. j. M. J.

A LAuDABLE ENrERrRIsE-A party Of gentle
men started few days ago, under the auspices
of Mr.. T. F. Hersey, to explore the valley of the
Solomon, and thereby bring more to the notice
Of the Railroad Company its advantages as a
route for their road. That there exists on the
Solomon inexaustible beds of coal is confidently
asserted by every person who has travelled over
that country, and this party, with such an ac-
complished geologist as our townsman, Doctor
SEYMOUR, will definitely settle the matter, and
rescue from obscurity such requisites to hapri-
ness as is claimed this country possesses. 1t is
a praiseworthy object, and we hope it may be
eminently successful. He that would throw cold
water on such an enterprise is too small-souled
to be called q man.

not approve of this use of the Sabbath. 1t is
impossible for the General to be here any other

deemed the exigencies, and the cause sought to
