our cause, has never lost heart has never

Poisonous LlonoRs.-The scenes wit
messed in our streets daily, are almost
enough to sicken the heart of the patriot
and the christian. Drunken men are
picked up in the streets and on the door
stills, almost as plentiful as hlackbeirieS 4
in their season. If we chose to go into
an examination of the cause of these
scenes, we could readily find it in the
quality, not the quantity, of the liquor
| dealt out to them. We would find it of
that quality which a kind man would not
give to his sick beast, for fear of producing
death, and yet it is measured off to human
beings in poisonous doses, which tell fear
fully upon their constitutions and their
passions. Its hard to decide which is
the most culpable, the man who swallows
this poison at dollar a glass, or the ven
der who sells it. Both are largely GRIM
inal. An examination of q bottle of this
liquor yesterday, divulged the fact, that
there was three parts composed of fiery
turpentine and spirits, doctored with a
little of the genuine mean article and 9th.
er substances to hide the smell and taste,
but not the effects of the former. We do
not mean to say that the respectable sa-
looms of the city keep this miserable stuff
on hand. 1t is only the lower class, where
the cheaper article is manufactured, that
it is to be found. What a crying sin !
What a blemish upon the fair reputation
of the citY.-Petersburg Express.
The above discloses q most lamentable
state of affairs in our ~neighboring city Of
Petersburg. We think that the exhibit
ton of such scenes are sufficient no
only "aLnost enough to sicken the hear
of the patriot and christian" but ough
altogether to produce that effect. Ans
not only so, but the guilty vendors o
such poisons ought to be ferreted GU
and made to imSibe freely of that wit
which they dose others. This is perhap
the severest punishment that could b
inflicted upon them.

Look Out for the Thiey es.

On Saturday or Sunday nightlast some
thieving villains entered our Press rooms
and stole therefrom the valuable Leather
BANGS that connected our Press and En-
CINE. The Bands we're some four or five
inches broad, very thick and heavy and
together by copper eyes. It was of the
very best Belt Leather and would now
sell for four OF five hundred dollars. We
will give any reasonable reward for its
return to us, or for any information that
may lead to the detection of the thieves.
And We cab upon all leather dealers and
workers to have an eye out for any such
that may be offered for sale, either in this
city or elsewhere. 1t may possibly be
cut up into short strips to avoid suspi.

er it can readily be detected.

GoNslsFENr.-A "Peace meeting" was
recently held in a neighboring county.
Among the resolutions adopted was one
denounceing the Confederate tax act, and
resolving not to pay it. As the chairman
who presided at this meeting has never
paid a tax of any kind during his life,
we feel bound to commend this resolution
as being decidedly consistent.
