Temperance INeetiag.-Last Monday
evening there was larger audience out
to the Temperance Meeting than there
has been on any of the recent occasions.
Presbyterian Church did not afford
seats for all that were present.
Rev. Mr.. Marble, of Waterloo, deliv-
cred most interesting address, which
was listened to with marked attention.
The occasion was enivened by really
the best music, we believe, that was
ever produced in Cedar Falls by home
talent-and that is saying very much.
The choir was composed Of fifteen or
twenty of the best singers Of the place.
We think the Committee on Music
done themselves proud"

Il NeU Bridgc.-At the recent meet
ing of the Board of Supervisors an ap-
preparation of $5,O00.OO was made for
the purpose of building new bridge
across the Cedar River at Cedar Falls.
This appropriation was made with the
provision that the pier, and abutments
should be Of stone. Caleb May, Il. b.
Carpenter and A. Alinc, were appoint
ed q Committee to superintend the
work. No plan has yet been adopted.
Considerable has been said about build.
ing after the plan of the railroad bridge
"A Howe truss. The Committee is now
corresponding with various parties in
regard to material, work, &C. The
bridge will be located below the present
one, more nearly straight with NIain-st.
and thus afford the use of the old bridge
for some time after the commencement
scf work on the new one. Subscriptions
will probably be collected from our citi-
-zens to sufficient amount to enable the
Committee to build bridge that will
be permanent in it's nature and credita-
bic in its character. We trust there
may be no exhibition of parsimonious-
ness in this important matter. rra
The Supervisors also appropriated
$5,0oO.O0 for the building of bridge at
Wateslao; and we are informed that
the people there propose to add 0,0o0
to the amount, and have bridge that
will be right. The example is worthy
of imitation on the part of the people
of Cedar Falls. ...s s. .gs.r.gg
The question of replacing the bridge
across Dry Run came up before the
Board, and was postponed for definite
action until the September meeting
We trust the matter may not be put off
beyond that time, 80 the absence of the
bridge occasions serious Inconvenience

Eighth of January.

This day, the anniversary Of th,
Battle of New Orleans, at which tim,
Gen. jackson, that sturdy old hero
punished the British, is to be cele
brated by the Copperheads of this
State, in Columbus, by putting in
nomination candidates for the Fail
Election. From Coppcrhead papers
VIC learn that the object of holding the
Convention on that day, is to see it il
is possible to iniIuse some Of the in
domitable, never ninching spirit OF
Jackson into the broken ranks OF thai
party. 1t is joke for that party to
hold their Convention at the time
above indicated, tor it is very hard to
see what possible connection there IL
between the Hero of New Orleans
and the Copperheads. Yet if he had
been living during the rebellion, it
is possible and probable that there
you'd have been hempen conncc
ton between two. "By the Eternal" J."
etc, etc, .
We hate to see the memory of Gen
Jackson and his achievements dis.
graccd, still if they meet for the pur-
pose of imbibing some of his unswerv.
ing Unionism, it is all right. The good
Lord knows they have need enough
of II:
AS regards the candidates that
will be nominated on that day we
simply pity them, the poor innocent
lambs to thus be meekly led out to
laughter.

Is Slavery Abolished?

From recent reports from the
South it seems that the people do
not think it is. One case in partic-
ular has been presented to the Hous e
and it has bocn resolved to investi-
gate. The following is an adver.
tisement of the sale of slave:
PUBLIC SALE.-The undersigned
will cell at the court house door, at
the city ofAnnapolis, at IL o clock,
NJ, on Saturday, Sth of December,
1866, n negro named Richard Harris,
for six months, convicted at the DC
tober term, 1866, of the Anne Arun.
del County Circuit Court, for larceny,
and sentenced by the Court to be
sold as n slave. Terms of sale-cash.
WILLIAM BRYAN,
Sheriff Anne Arundel County.
Dee. 8, 1866.
This occurred in Maryland, short
distance from Washington. If such
a matter is allowed to pass without
a severe penalty to the perpetrators,
of what use is the Civil Rights Bill
or any Of the sacred promises of
protection to the colored man?
The negro must be protected in
the South. or he must be given the
ballot that he may protect himself.
