THE TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT.
We have received the following circular
from Rev. S. Lander, in reference to the pro-

ment throughout the State. He has already
sent out large number of headings Of Pc
tition for state prohibitory law, and, as will
be seen, will be glad to send out more where
ever they can be used to advantage:
Please allow me space to report to your
readers that up to this time l have had the
pleasure of sending out 54l5 headings of a
petition asking our Legislature to pass law
totally prohibiting the manufacture and sale
of ardent spirits as beverage in our State.
These petitions are in more or less active cir
culation in nearly every nook and corner Of
our Commonwealth; and l am almost daily
receiving encouraging reports from the vsri
Gus sections of the field.
l will be glad to send out as many more
headings as can be used to advantage, and to
receive occasional reports Of progress from
those engaged in the work. ...

pa| In A., one of Florida seaport towns,
there lived in ante bellum days, wealthy but
very eccentric old gentleman, who, on one oc.
casion, being quite sick, awoke his wife in the
middle of the night, with tremendous uproar.
To her anxious inquiry as to the cause of his
excitement, he testify replied that, che had
not thought much about his illness, until be
had just happened to remember that, in case
he should die, the toaUn could not afford decent
coffin in ,uhieh to bury him." That man was
bilious. A few doses of Hills HEPATIc

him to forget that there were such things as

about so by 200 feet. Their offices
are complete in every detail. About
so feet of the Park Place front is
partitioned off for the counting

handsomely and substantially fitted
up. Beyond the counting room the
walls on both sides are covered from
floor to ceiling with pigeon-holes for

of the room are number Of alcOveS,

A DISASTROUS SYSTEM.

1t is about time that some Of the more in
fluential Southern journals were agitating
the question of the abolition or disuse Of
the prevailing credit system in the cotton
districts of the South. We notice that the
VicksbHrg Herald has touched upon the
matter and what it says is not only en-
inently correct, but such philosophy as
should govern everywhere where the abuse
exists. The custom is doubly disastrous
from the fact that it is universal, and the
entire surplus profits of the planter are
eaten up by time, nothing else. Any in
telligent man knows that goods cannot be
sold as cheap on time as for cash, and
every article, purchased by the farmer under
mortgage ON his crop, is simply an ar
ticlo for which he has paid two prices Liv-
ing is high enough in this section, in all
conscience, under the most favorable cir
cumstances, but when interest and long
profits are superadded it is astonishing that
our farmers increase their earthly stores at
all. There is no injustice in the system on
the part Of the merchant, for it is but right
that he should demand bonus for his ac-
commodation and long waiting, but it is
great misfortune and source Of loss to the
planter, The subject should receive the
careful attention of the class whom it most
affects and IL possible be rcmedied. 1t is
not always practicable, il is
true, TO obviate the necessity OF
mortgaging the crop and buying on long
