ty. In noticing the progress of the building of

Sir. Lambert was the contractor for the frame

TEMPERANCE On Thursday night last, the
Rev. r. Whitaker editor of the Friend of Tenn
peranse, Raleigh. N c., delivered a. temperance
lecture at the Baptist church in this city. A
large audience was present and the lecture was
well worthy of the sunect. Many of the re-
marks of the reverend gentleman were humorous
and all entertaining The fearful and startling
exhibit made of the cost and consequences of in
temperance was calculated to arrest the attention
of the most thoaghtless and enlist the sympathies
of FL in the great ciuse with whose interests the
lecturer has so fully identified himself: The
discourse throughout evinced careful study of,
and familiarity with the subject, and the earnest.
ness and zeal with which he advocated his noble
work, together with the vividness with which he
portrayed the evils, crime, and all the train that
wait on drunkenness, showed that the speakers
heart as well as his talents were enlisted in the
grand crusade.
After the lecture paper was circulated though
the audience for the purpose of securing names
for admission TO the various total abstinence or
ders of the city. WI do not know how many en-
rolled themselves, but trust not few

that the Supervisors of Rockbridge, have
unanimously determined to issue the bonds
of the county for the amount of its subscrip-
ton by the 10Th lust, and that the prospect
is the counties Of Botetourt and Roanoke
will do the same 1t will then only remain
for the bonds to be presented ready for de-

FRUIT-Mr. John H, Newcomb, gate: keeper
at the Western Lunatic Asylum, says that the
peaches are not killed, and that white frost in
the dark of the moon rarely ever effects them.
1t is noticeable fact that fruit with seeds, such
as pears, apples, always bloom after the tree has
put forth its leaves, and that fruit with stons,
such as peaches, prun1s, SC. bloom just as the
leaves begin to corte out. The seed fruit is the
more lender in the bud and the leaves protect it
from the weather. We have not Heard that the
peach crop has Been materially affected by the
weather Us yet.

THE FIRST GUN.-The first gun for the
Legislative campaign was fired of last Mon
day. aud the person who did the work was a
colored gentleman named Dyer Wayt, we'll
known in the city. In passing the Court
House. we discovered that Dyer was terrif
ically gesticuating, moving to and fro on the
pavement with all the grace of regular
stage actor, with hat eff, and earnest speech
addressing four or five tender limbs of the
law, who evidently admired the forensic ef-
fort. lie discussed finance, personal and
general, the State debt &c. and presented his
platform. and ia doing it with all the skill of
practiced debater, he was reminded by
an incidental passer-by that he ought to pay
his debts before presenting himself for the
sufrages Of the people: He relorted that if
ouly those who paid their debts were to be
candidates for the Legislature the county
would have to be "raked with a fine tooth
comb" to find them. This cutting repartee
brought down the house, or the pavement;
and being convinced that Dyer was rising
statemah, the coming man and brother, we
left him still noratpg.

New ORLEANS, April -, JS53.
Hon. George III. Wiltidms, Attorney Geaerdt.
Matters are quiet in the state except in fol-
or five parishes. My commune alton 70 Gene
raj Emory requ, sting that troops be sent 10
these remote parishes was with view TO pre-
vent any possible outbreak. The statement
that issued commissions TO iusion officers in
Grant parish or 10 any other than those irst
commissions is untrue. The state taxes are
being collected rapidly, tax re. ring breaking
down. Collections during the past thirty DAYS
exceed the collections for the same time of any
previous year. The amount of taxes and Ii
censes coll cted in the city during the first
quarter of 1872 were sl3S 900. The amount col
lected Tor the first quarter of 1873 is S25I, Ola.
We collected but little during January and
February, owing TO the political difficulties.

About seven hundred Crispins are OH the strike

without werkmen. The Crispins say that their
strike is not for higher wages, but for recogni-
ton as an order by their employers. The Inn
mediate cause of the strike was the refusal of
the employers in one factory to confer with a
committee OF Crispins who desired to enquire
the reason for the discharge of one of their
members. The manufacturers assert that the
strike was in consequence ofa refusal of their
association to comply with the demands of the
