warm weather sets in, to have plenty
of saw dust or cut straw on top of
the ice, and as it melts on the sides
of the building, fill the space with
the saw dust or cut straw. This, of
course, is essential. But there will

and any other neighbor, who will
help to draw the ice IN winter, have
all they want in summer. Keep out
rain, keep the air from getting to it
underneath, keep the top and sides
covered, and if the ice is fifteen feet
high, it will keep. The sun may
shine and the winds blow on the

harm. But do not forget to put in

Keep Holy the Sabbath.DaY.

This, Mr.. Editor, is the oft-repeated
injunction Of Scripture. The conduct
of Jesus emphasized this injunction.
The history and prosperity of Chris
tianity has been intimately connected
with its faithful observance. For some
years the tendency has been towards
the disregard Of this holy day. The
tide of advanced ~ thought would
sweep it away entirely. A few weeks
since the matter of checking this ten
dency was the subject of conference
and deliberation among the ministers
of this city. But / fear that, in the
excitement and zeal spriDging out Of
the discussion Of prohibition, the Sab
bath is receiving a blow in the
house Of its friends. | cannot
conceive Of more complete secu-
larization Of the Sabbath than to
have discussions on that day as to the
wisdom OF unwisdom Of any govern
mental policy upon which men may
justly hold opposite views. But"
says one, /" this question has a moral
SIDE" What question of any impor-
,ance has not? Who will catalogue
for the people the subjects that are
holy and those that are not? Messrs.
A. and Il. assure US this present ques.
ton is fully in harmony with the spirit
and objects Of the Gospel. Soon, very
soon, Messrs. c. aud D., equally sim
cere men, will contend that the great
moral question Of labor and honest
wages is Of the same godly kind.
Open the door beyond the clear pro-
visions of Scripture, and soon it will be
here as in New Orleans and Cincinnati.
Keep the Sabbath for the pure Cos
pel-that Gospel which has no uncer-
tain sound-about which there can be
no two opinions honestly entertained.
Preach that in our churches and on the
Sabbath, and place temperance, virtue,
and all Christian graces within the
soul by the power Of the Word, and
then the rich fruitage of faith will be
seen in the conduct Of the citizen,
whether at the polls or elsewhere. |

my brethren. (. HARRISON.

Aprll Il, 1850.
To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
fyou can spare the space from the
pressure upon your columns incident
to the discussion Of the all-absorbing
topic, Shall Richmond be wet or
dry?' | ask that you will kindly give
this corner in your paper. Oar peo-
pie are watching with great deal Of
interest the progress of the fight upon
the question Of local option raging in
your city. Here the cause OF temper
ance has many earnest advocates so
has the wet side; but it seems to be
conceded that no vote will be asked for
in this county at present. Many of us
have vivid recollection of the ire
ireshing" Inequalities extended to US
in Richmond in times past.
Our farmers are busily preparing for
large crop. 1t seems to be their en-
deavor to make quantity overcome the
shortage in prices.
The unprecedented low price Of to-
bacco greatly depresses our people, in
many instances the net proceeds of the
whole crop being insufficient to meet
the expenses for the fertilizers.
Notwithstanding the stringency of the
times, our county is not without pro.
gress and enterprise. There are sew
eral large tobacco warehouses at Smith
vile, Brakes Branch, and Keysviile.
Recently a good many settlers of the
bIight.tobacco section have boush.
lands and permanently settled in this
county.
