TEMPERANCE ADDREss.-O Friday night

TEMPERANCE ADDREss.-On Friday night
last in the M. E. Church South, of this place,
Mr.. Jas. w. Baldwin, on behalf of Staunton
Council, No. Al, Friends of Temperance" de-
livered well-conceived, methooical. and inter-
esting address. Astounding with good doctrine and
wholesome counsel. In the language of Saint
Paul, he spoke ''the words of truth and sober
ness" The address was of character, in tenn
per, matter, and manner calculated to do much
good, and we hope that such will prove to be
the case. Next to church membership, with
young men especially, membership in one OF the
temperance organizations is the most important
it furnishes them with a safe refuge from the
dangers of ''the alI-pervading destroyer" which
annually Stays its thousands and tens of thou
sands and inflicts woes unutterable upon count
less families, which otherwise would be blessed
with happiness and prosperity. Intemperance,
though not the greatest sin, is the greatest evil
that afflicts our country. 80

Rnurhonism Defined.

"Bourbonism" in politics, saying:

SON. IN the face of every effort to divide TIE
Radical and reinforce the Conservative elenen s
of the country, represent class which. had it
possessed any power or influence, would have
kept Tennessee to this day fast in the clutches
of Brownlow, and prevented the late substan-
ta triumph of free ideas in Missouri, They
call their wretched and ridiculous buster 'pliI-
ciple" 1t is one half cant and the other half
ignorace. when thoroughly mixed, is what we
call Bourbonism.

Public Free Schools.

The Free School system. In many places, has
pro, ed successful in rome places 1t has been
the reverse Whether. in our midst, 1t will
meet with success and The approval of our peo-
pe remains to be tested By practical experience
We have no ether alternative than to put the
free schools into operation; to encourage them
to the extent of our power, and endeavor to
reap all the benefit we can from them. The
tax to support them has been assessed, and
will have to be paid and, although it Is not
sufficient to support the number of schools
contemplated, the plan of the trustees to raise
the amount sufficient, by private subscription,
should be encouraged, as it seems to De the
most feasible one, and one which will secure all
the benefits of the institution, without discrlm-
mating in favor of any particular section of the
Township.
To the greater portion of the people the pub
lie free schools will be blessing, because their
tax will not amount to one-tourth the tuition of
a single child and this class, (whose tax will
be small, but who have children to educate, J
should contribute literally towards raising the
additional sum necessary to carry out the pro-
pramme of the trustees.-V Va Herald Fin
CASTLE.
THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS The State superin-
tendent of education informs us that the initia-
tory steps towards the organization of the pub
lie schools have been taken throughout the
Commonwealth 1t requires time, however,
to get them successfully at work. The follow
ing counties take the lead SO far: Carroll,
Floyd, Alexandria and Augusta. Floyd has
com pleted the preparatory census, Carroll has
its schools in operation. Augusta will have
seventy five schools in operation by the 1st of
January, and Alexandria has doubled the State
appropriation and subscribed Literally for
