The congressional Temperance Move

WAsuINaTox. D. g, Feb. y. -.

WAsHISGroS. D. c., Feb %. 1867.
-hsssTs Editors Of the Free Press,
The Congressional temperance movement
IN Washington promises to lead to most CRAFTY
ing results
No such meeting has ever been held in the
national capital as that which assembled last
Sunday evening in the hall Of the House of Re-
presentativCs. to organize a congressional tenn
perance society.
1t was oue Of the events Of these event
fal times. Thousands were turned away.
Every available spot which gave even room
to stand upon, in the galleries, upon the fsor.
and the very doOrways, was occupied. while
dense lines Of anxious rnen and women exte, ded
back from every door sloug the corridors. The
speeches were short. brilliant. ami effective.
That Of Governor, nov Senator, Yates, Of Hi
nois, was particularly touching. His bold and
determined stand against intemperauce, his
avoEsl that heneeforth be never would touch a
drop Of liquor Of any kind, and his frank state
ment Of the effects Of drinking upon himself and
others, deeply novel the audience. Only those
who heard it, can fully appreciate the effect Of
the speech. 50 much did it depend upon the
manner Of delivery. Mr.. Yates has magnetic
power over an audience rarely equalled. Hesi-
tAtingly. as if struggling to master the emotions
Of his own soul, he began. in tremulous tones,
when suddenly a fash of eloquent thought cleo
trifed the audieree, and be vas relieved
By an Outburst Of applause. The Sen
ator, whose fine appearance and graceful
figure, no less than his brilliant public SER
vice, justify the pride CT his friends. proceeded
in clear, ringing voice, and with deliberate
and distinct utterance, through speech Of three
quarters Of an hour, scarcely sentence Of
which WAS not spplauded. Shouts Of laughter
and stiied sobs and tears. Of his auditors, f1l-
lowed in continuous succession. The only face
upon which there were no smiles, no tears, was
that Of the speaker. he seemed moved by
a calm, mighty energy as be depicted the fear
ful havoc and degradation Of intemperauce.
beautiful and touching letter from his wife gave
special interest to the speech and profoundly
moved the audience. As be closed be was pre-
seutel with basket Of beautiful flowers, and
left the platform amid long continued applause.
The Esr upon this fearful evil promises to
beeOEl, fashionable in Washington and Senator
Wilson Of Massachusetts,. president Of the Con-
sressiolal Temperance Society, labors steadily
to bring men Of all parts into his organization.
In this good work be is gratefully assisted by
their wives and families. Another meeting is
to be held on Sunday evening next, st the same
place. when a similar scene may be anticipated.

Of Pennsylvania to be held at Harrisburgh.

Of State snd Speaker of the House, Is hailed
with much satisfaction in this quarter.

The Poets portrait of Himself-from Whit

And one there was, dreamer born,
Who, with a mission to fulfil,
Had left the MUSES. haunts 10 turn
The crank Of az opiniou-mil,
Making his rustic reed Of song
weapon in the war with wrong,
Yoking his fancy to the breaking plough
That beam-deep turned the soil for truth TO
spring and grow.
Too quiet seemed the man to ride
The winged Hippogrif Reform;
Was his a voice from side TO side
To pierce the tumult Of the Storm
A silent, shy, peace-leving man,
He seemed no fiery partisan
TO hold his way against the public froWn,
The ban Of Church and State. the fierce mob's
hOuniing down.
For While he wrought with strenuous will
The work his hands had found 10 do,
He heard the fitful music still
Of winds that out Of dream-lsnd blew.
The din about him could not drown
What the strange voices whispered down;
Along his task field weired professions swept.
The visionary pomp Of stately phantoms stepped
The common air vas thick with dreams
he told them 10 the toiling crowd;
such music as the woods and streams
Sang ia his ear he sang aloud;
In still, shut bays, on windy capes,
lie heard the call of beckonIDg shapes,
And, as the gray old shadows prompted him,
To homely moulds Of rhyme he shaped their
legends grim.
He rested COW his weary hands,
and lightly icoralized and laughed,
As. tracing on the shifting sands

THE PRINCES ALExANDRA.-Thec cable re-

the Princess Alexandra was suffering from
an attack OF rheumatism was speedily fol-
lowed BY second report, that the worthy
lady had been safely delivered Of daughter.
IL is seldom that rheumatism is so quickly
routed. The Princess was married TO the
Prince Of Wales on the 10th of March, 1868.
The first child, Prince Albert Victor, was
born on the Sth Of January, 1864, the Sec
ond child, Prince George Frederick, was

THE POSTAL REGISTRY SIsTEx--Neu regu-
lations are soon to be put in force BY the Post
Office Department for securing the safe trans
mission Of registered letters. Such letters will
be inclosed in large envelopes Of stolt paper
each constituting Of itselfs sort Of pouch
the mail agents, railway post Office clerks, or
other persons employed by the department, viii,
in each case, give receipt for the package
taken, in book the postmaster is to keep for
the purpose. Then the agent or clerk will de-
liver the package at the post office to which 1t is
directed, or, if that is of his route, to another
agent, who will convey 1t onward, invariably
taking receipt for it-so that every man who
receives a package gives his signature for it,
and he is held directly responsible for its safety
until it has passed out Of his hands; the
signature Of the receiver Of the letter completing
the chain Of evidence which must always ae-
company the transmission.
Under such system there will be some
value and responsibility to the registry sys-
TEN, as there has not been hitherto.
