WELLS & COLL, 267 Main street.

APPEAL TO LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.
Can it be possible that any citizen of
Memphis has not heard of the Sons of
Temperance We think not. Then the
question may be asked, why is it that so
little interest is manifested in its success,
when it has, ever since its organization,
been admitted the wisest institution for
the accomplishment of its object ever
presented to our fallen racer If there
is one individual, male or female, who is
so unfortunate as not to have father,
mother, husband, wife, brother, sister,
son, daughter-no family-no love for
themselves-no desires for happiness in
this life, nor in the life>to come, such
alone can ever hope to be excused, when
they remember the fate of the drunkard;
and to this class we would say, let the
name of temperance be forever blotted
out and let them unite their efforts in
favor of King Alcohol. Butte return to
stern realities. With all the gloom hang
ing over our once happy land, by wars,
pestileuce, famine, all combined, free
us from this king of sorrows, alcohol, and
freedom is ours. Oh, We faithless, never
claim to be friends to the widows and
orphans, or to yourselves, and make no
sacrifice for the success of this object;
show your faith by your works; resolve
to do something in this extreme time of
need; remember the King is Staying his
thousands daily. Now is the time to
work; enroll your names as champions
of temperance for all time to come, and
YOU will he rewarded here and hereafter,
One solemn reflection, while starvation
is at the door Of thousands. Would it
not be wise to reflect upon this mon
strous subject2 Ask the question: Is
there not money enough spent in this
city daily for poison to buy meat and
breadi Yes; add to this wood and
coal. Awful thought And you can
hear from those who have large families
that they have neither wood, coal or
money; and those men are daily drink
ing; may be seen staggering along with
two props to hold them up, reach the
dear wife and children and nothing to eat,
While we have abundant reason to feel
thankful for our political prosperity, we
can never hope to find relief financially
until men learn wisdom-lire sober.

Cable dispatches from Barcelona, Spain,
via London, report that the whole country
is in an excited state. Martial law has
been proclaimed in the province of Cata-
lonia The latest dispatches received from
the scene of the war in South America at
Lisbon deny the report of the capture of
Ascunsion by the Brazilian feet, and
states that after the battle with the Para
guayan gunboats the feet returned to Gu
rupaity.
The situation of General Lopez is not so
critical as has been reported. The Para
guayans claim that their gunboats obtained
decided success over the Brazilian iron
clads in the recent naval fight. The cas-
ualtics were heavy on both sides, but no
accurate report has been received.
The Earl of Cardigan, who died in Eng
land few days ago, was the leader of the
celebrated charge Of the Light Brigade at
Balaklava.

CRIsrIELp.-This place, formerly called
Somers' Cove, is the southern terminus of
the Pcninsular Rail Road. 1t is situated
on little Annamessex river, about five
miles from its mouth This river empties
into Tangier Sound. 1t is navigable for
large vessels and affords harbor for hun
dreds of boats. The first building erected
was depot for the cars, situated on a
long platform or pier, extending midway
the river. At or near the depot, erected
also on piles, stand three large oyster pick
ling establishments, two well stocked
stores, ticket Office, custom house, and
other minor edifccs. There is, also, an
engine house, three hotels, drug store
dwellings, &c. Town lots have been laid
out and are selling rapidly. 1t is a fact
that no business has ever been started at
Crisfeld that has not met with success
Indeed it is aptly styled thu Chicago of
the Eastern Shore.
