~ The citizens of Fort Pickens, in
Abbeville County, held meeting OH
Monday night last, and adopted resolu-
tions denorncing the murder of the Vir-
ginus crew, aud urging the President to
avenge the outrage.
@ Peter Gadsden, colored, was burnt
to death in his house, on Luther Book
hart's plantation, near Doko, Fairfield

certained that Gen. Ryan had made a
contract with the Cuban Insurgents, by
which he was to receive 500, 900 in gold II
he should succeed in landing his men
and arms in Cuba. If this is true, it
takes the, romance out of Gen. Ryan's
case. A patriot is one thing and aspecu-
lator another. A hero for pay has never
been regarded with a great deal of ad-
miration.

The Lien Law.

There is "a proposition before the Leg
islature to repeal the Lien Law. If the
people were ont of debt, andhad on hand
a sufficiency of corn, oats, forage, &C.,
with which to make the next crop, 1t
might perhaps be proper thing to abol-
ish the Lien Law. But under the present
circumstances, when SO many are re-
duced to almost absolute want, from the
low price realized for their cotton, and
have neither supplies, cash, nor credit,
we think it would work very injuriousiy
to the poor man, and the farming inter-
ests of the country, to abolish this law,
at this time, which was enacted as much
in the interest of the poor man as for the
protection of the merchant. Therefore,
we are by no means an advo-
cate of the. present Lien Law, yet we
hope, for the good Of all, that our Legis-
lature will not repeal this law for another
year at least.

Legislative Proceedings.

j
Both Houses of the Legislature adj
iourned the extra session, sine die, on
Monday night, the Oath instant. The
Senate passed resolution of thanks to
its President, R. II. 3Gleayes, and other
officers of the Senate for the faithful and
impartial discharge of their duties du-
ring the session. The House passed a
similar resolution of thanks to its Speak
er, s. j. Lee. This was all that the House
should have done had they acted like
honest conciencious men; but in addi-
ton to the resolution of thanks voted
the Speaker, they then, by vote, deliber-
ately robbed the Treasury of six hum
dred dollars and placed it in the hands
Of the said Speaker, over and above his
salary as allowed by law, simply as a
gratuity, for tha faithful discharge of his
duty. Oh, if these Legislators would
only be gust before they are generous there
would be no occasion for reputation or
high taxation.
The regular session of the General As
sembly commenced on Tuesday, the
25th. Itwas mere formality, of course,
but the ordinary routine in the organi-
zation of the two houses was gone through
with.
A committee was appointed to notify
the Governor that the General Assembly
was organized and ready for business.
The Governor replied that he could not
give his regular annual message until
the heads of the different executive de-
partments made their reports to him,
and that he did not believe that the said
reports could be had until at least the I'd
of the next month, or ten days from the
present time. Thereupon both houses
agreed to take recess until Tuesday,
the I'd instant, at IL M.
The correspondent of the Neaos &
Courier says:
One can understand how the House
might take recess, for that body has
passed the bill to raise supplies and the
bill to adjust the public debt. But the
Senate has done neither the one nor the
other, and by their action in adiourning
at this time merely prove that the extra
session was farce and humbug. The
legitimate objects of the session, outside
the counteraction of the mandamus in
the case of Morton, Bliss e. Co., were un-
donbtedly the fixing OF the annual rate
of taxation and the adjustment of tho
public debt. The Senate has not pre-.
sumed to touch either one of these sub
jects so far, and is taking weeks recess
without having even entered upon the
two main objects Of the extra session. 1t
looks very much as have heard charged,
and by the Republicans. too. as if the
extra session had been only dodge to
swindle the people out of more money,
and thus furnish the means to certain
high State officials in these trying finan-
cial times to keep their heads above
water.

The Temperance Cause.

A Batesville correspondent, under date
of the 18th ult., to the Temperance Ad-
oocate, says:
iN1. Editor. Remembering the promise
made in your Office, that | would send an
(" occasional note" to the Adpocate, / offer
a few sketched observations relative to the
Temperance cause. Our Division, | am
happy to state, is in healthy and pros.
pe1ous condition. We have scarcely had
a meeting without bringing into our order
one or more. The influence that has rad
lated from our Division, and the good 1t
has surely accomplished, car be told only
in eternity a i,
We are also pleased to note that several
other Divisions have risen up around US.
with a large and active membership ewho
take. delighted interest in the Temper
ance Reform and we hope that the in
tluence, which can be fels from one to the
other, may be an incentive to greater dill
gence in the noble spirit exhibited. Our
Division and community was delightfully."-
entertained on Saturday evening, 18th
inst, with addresses from Drs. w. H. Tin
mernan and l.. A. Purvis offspring Grove
Division, on the subject of Temperance.
We would fail in our duty to ourselves if
we omitted to spend a few sentences upon
each of these interesting discourses. Or.
Zimmerman, endowed with fine faculties
of research, drew forth fem the medical,
financial and criminal calendars of the day
precise. statements, clearly cut definitions
and arguments which are weighty and
powerful. The discussion was to US in
teresting, but to some degree painful
painful because it brings to mind the
baneful and blighting effects intemperance
is transmitting upon our race.
DR.. Farvis, with his natural style of hu-
NOR and oratory, would at times excite to
its highest point the risibilities of his au-
lence, and at others would gain theil
wrapt and silent attention to his fighty
steps OF eloquence. We congratulate tia
Temperance cause that it has such able
supporters and advocates in our own State
We are forced to the conclusion that j
each Division, or several Divisions, woulc
have public demonstration at least once
o quarter, it would be one of thesmightest
levers we could bring to bear toward thf
advancement and final victory of the tenn
perance warfare. The great object We
Should have in view is, to keep the mind:
