Dinner at Sit. Sterling’.

pn t S?lurdsy we bad the pleasure of greeting a Urge number of our Temperance friends at Mt. Sterling/ At about lit o’clock the people began ipga%r,aml at 11, A. M. the meeting was organized by palling Ralph Cotton, Eaq., to the Chair, and. appointing ■' 0. 'S. Waldo, Secretary. The President clearly stated the object of the meeting, after which several addressee were delivered; first, by Key, J. B. Sparks-and in such a manner as gave general satisfaction to the Temperance hearers, and would go a .great way towards making even those who associate with grog sellers feel contemptible and mean.

The meeting was next addressed by GgoaoE McCullough, Esq., in a »eiy able and concise manner, in hi* usual earnest and determined manner. The meeting was pejt addressed by Rev. J. Brockway, who entertained the audience for about forty minutes, in a strain of reasoning' characteristic) of thft man. IJe went on ip depict in glpwing colors, the business of the whisky seller, and gave many good reasons for total prohibition in this Stale.

The next speaker was Ralph Colton, Esq,, who gave a short and spicy speech, which told on the heaters; after which an excellent dinner was served, and wp can vouch that all present done ample justice to the eatables; and the best part of all was, that all passed ofl well, and every onp seepied to enjoy themselves well. — No one was drunk—neither indeed could they be, lor there is nothing to make people drunk with in Sit. Sterling—pure cold water is the only beverage prepared for the use of mankind. If we may judge of the cause by the way ladies turned out on this occasion, we can say that it is in a prosperous condition. Saturday was a cold and disagreeable day, yet there was a good turnout. The meeting was closed by a Temperance Song from the choir.

Our friends at Ml. Sterling are doing well in the way of sending us subscribers. May success attend them.

T<) pur Fi lends,

That we may the belter be prepared to tight thp battle at the approaching election, and that we jpay be always on the alert and ready for skirmishes during the canvass which is fast approaching, we propose that the vigilance committee in each township shall organize themselves, (they have already done so in Jefferson and Cotton and appoint the times and placed of their meetings, the names of speakers, etc., and fmward the same for publication at an early day. It is desirable that the organization should be complete* and that we should have efficient men and women in the service. It ts necessary that we should understand one another, and the more cflcc tually to do this, it is necessary that we have a medium through which to commitpirate pur wishes and intentions. We propose to make every Minister.of the Gospel, every School teacher, the Sons of Temperance, and all Temperance Socities, Postmasters, Farmers; and all good men in this county, our agents—and urge upon them the necessity of each and every family in the county having a Temperance paper.

Temperance principles need but lo be promulgated, to ensure their introduction into every family in the county. If men will will not take it themselves, make up s club and send for the paper and give it to them, for there are some who cannot be reached by the lecturer, and consequently may be unacquainted with the signs of the limes. If it could be so arranged that every family in the county can, fur this year, have the Reveille in their house, there would be a great many more Temperance men next year. There are about twenty-five hundred families in this county, and of ibis number, we are satisfied that if the question were put to them to-day, of enlire prohino prohibition, that at least fifteen hundred would go for prohibition. We must organize, and the sooner the better. i,et us hare this matter in such a shape . that the noses can be counted.— Det each township committee divide themselves off—one or two for each school district—and get every man’s name, and ascertain his posiiion on the liquor and school questions. By this means we can ascertain to a certainty how the thing stands; and when this is completed, you will be ready for action, and not before. That the people arc determined to put this evil down, is well known (0 politicians, and it stands us in hand to send none but good and true men to make our laws.

Blot and Loss of Life.

We learn that a terrible riot took place on Friday last, says the New Albany 7Vjbunt, among the laborers on the Ohio aod Mississippi railroad, shout-seven miles from Lawrenceport, Lawrence county ImJ. It seems that the Irish were divided into two factions—the Munster, men and the Leinster men, who as usual were very jealous of each other. Pa Friday last the Munse; men, num-

i beriug some fort/ or fifty, undertook to drive away (be Leinster- men, instating that they should not work on the road. 4 terrible fight ensued in which many were seriously wounded, and a number of ‘houses burned. During the riots party of the Munser men proceeded to a board' ing house kept by an American named Driskell. and demanded that some Leinster men who were there should be given up. A parley ensued in which an Irish* man struck at Driskell with an axe, who immediately attempted to shoot the Irishman but failed,- his pistol having missed fire. A nephew of Driskell then pulled out a pistol and shot the Irishman dead. They then escaped from the roub by breaking a hole through the back part of the house.

Ten of t hose engaged in the riot were arrested, arid are now lying in jail at Bedford to awaif their trial. The leader of the mob escaped.

Tb? Swiss Land.

Col- Denton declares, and upon conclusive authority, that the centra) pari of the Rocky had territory enough to make 9 mountain State double the size of all the Swiss cantons, with everything as grand in scenery, amf without [he.draw* backs of its avalanches, glaciers and poll!* Th® point dr portion to which he refers, covers the hp*d waters of the South Platte the Arkansas apd the Pel Norte and supplies the springs of the East Fork of the great Colorado of the West,—Grass is abundant, water is plenty. The facility of (raveling oyer the country is better than the mountain region of Virginia or Tennessee. Charles W. McClanaham, of thi Old Dominion, writes thus about this “Swiss Land.” ' “Qn (his line almost (he entire route can be settled, as all the land from Missouri to Bent’s Fort is rich and very fertile, equal to the best lands of Missouri' and Illinois, pnd no land can beat the Sierra Blanche for grass; even to the very summit it stands as thick as the best meadows; many acres would mow at least 4 tons par acre. Then come the large and beautiful valley Si. Louis, said to be one of the most fertile in New Mexico; indeed fine land is upon the whole route, and the climate such that stock can live all winter npon the grass.”

(Kr The destruction of the clipper Great Republic, by the last conflagration in New York, is justly considered to be a public calamity. The Tribune says she was not only one of the moat beautiful ships ever built, but her extraordinary magnitude, and the anticipations connected with her had caused her to be regarded with something of national pride and interest. The opinion was very generally entertained that she would outstrip at) competitors, and carry off the palm from the world, and her loss just as she was aboul to start for the prize, sends a shock far beyond the limits of the commercial class, among the great public of those who are in the habit of watching the progress of industry and enterprise in every department. Besides she waa a scientific experiment. We were to learn from her whether the speed of ships increase, in proportion to their size, or whether our builders have already reached the maximum of velocity; as welt as the bounds of safety and economy, in nautical consiruction. In Europe, too, where her fame had already gone, her coming was anxiously looked for. and her untoward fate, will be regretted. .It is a consolation that her spirited builder and proprietor was insured, and will not bo a sufferer by the event. The cost of the ship could not have been far from $240,000. The insurance on (he vessel and freight, it known to be $260,000, and it m ay be more.

Froip St. Domingo.

Advices from St. Domingo state that a French war steamer had compelled the pominicun government to pay 93,000 for having expelled two French Haydens from the country; and that the French had demanded from General Santana the dismissal of his cabinet and the appointment of another more in accordance with the French interests. It watt thought at SlDomingo that Santana would be deposed thiough French influence, and the exPresident reinstated as dictator. Great excitement existed there.

Closure oCfienincky Distilleries

The Louiivxlle Courier reports at least 50 per cent, decrease in Bourbon whin key. Id Harrison coonly alone the amount of last year’s distillation was about 16,000 bbts. This year it will not be mors than 10,000, The Courier makes the encouraging Inference as to me cause, that the people seem to be get* ling an aversion to lbs traffic, and a disposition to condemn loose who engage in it. Nearly all the distilleries in the county hare closed up, or been converted into other pnrposee. Otberi will follow the same course as soon as the present season is over.

[Original.] Ood in Hla Works,

Upon every page of the great volume nf nature, we hnd inscribed the sublime truth of the existence cl a God. Alt nature wears the stamp of s benificenl Deity. Who upon visiting the wonders of nature, can for a moment doubt the existence of the Almighty. There is not an atom in the universe, but that proclaims the divinity of its great Master. Whether we survey our own beautiful planet, and aee the variety and harmony of its pans, or whether we contemplate the infinitude of worlds which roll above us in such harmonious regularity and precision, and behold the millions upon millions of heavenly hosts, marshalled out in bright array in the starlit firmament, we see the infinite wisdom, power ami goodness of the divine Architect, by whose, almighty decree they were moulded from nothing into being. Well may the sweet singer of Israel exclaim, "How manifold are Thy works, 0 God—in wisdom Thou hist madu.them all. The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmamentshoweth his handy work.* 1 The unfolding flower, the foliaged tree, the grassy meadow, the velvet lawn, the verdant hill and dale, the illuminated cloud, the vivid-lightning, the rolling thunder, the murmuring brook, the majestic river, the placid Jake, the blue and boundless ocean,' the rising sun, the moop and stars, ire all faithful witnesses of (he existence of the Deity. And these are not the only evidences wo hare of supreme power. The creation of man Is a stronger then these. Could any other power, save that of the Almighty, have ererted anything to compare with man! See h°w wisely the.difletent parts of his body have beep arranged, and hpw harmoniously they, work .together, Could any rational being, after serious reflection, ascribe these things io chance, and aay, •‘There js no. God,” Surely not. It were as well to opeakof the wood, iron, &c., falling together, and thereby const fueling a steamship, without the aid of man; as to talk of (his grand tfniverse coming into existence without the power of the Almighty. Vbrily, "The fool hath said In his heart there it no God.” M.

One Glass ol Wine.

We find in Harper's Magazine for April, a very interesting .history of the birth, parentage, anil rise to power of the present Emperor of France, Included in that article, we also find the history of “one glass of wine,’'as follows: '■/. - But there is another parly who repudiates the claims of the Bourbon, and espouses the cause of the Orleans branch of the family. The Duke of Orleans, the eldest son of King Louis Phlllipe, was the inheritor of whatever rights his royal father could transmit. He was a noble young man—physically and intellectually noble. His generous qualities had rendered him universally popular. One morning be invited a few companions to breakfast with him, as he was aboutto take his departure from Paris to join his regiment. In the conviviality of the hour he drank a littoo much wine. lie did not become intoxicated. He was not in any respect a dissipated man. His character was lofty and noble. But in that joyous honr he drank a glass to much. He slightly tola the balance of his body and of his mind. Bidding adieu to companions, he entered his carriage. But for thal extra glass of wine he would have kept his seal. He leaped from the carriage. But for that extra glass of wine he would have alighted on his feel. His head struck the pavement. Senseless and bleeding, he was taken into a beet-shop, and died. That extra glass of wine overthrew the Orleans dynasty; confiscated their property of one hundred millions of dollars, and sent the whole family into exile. How true it is that the trafic in intoxicating beverages not only brings misery and sorrow to the poor, but also to the wealthy and affluent. It spares not the high nor the humble. It dishonors the gray hairs of age; it turns sll beauty to corruption, and conquers the might ol the brave. The king on his throne, the wealthy in his palace, the beggar in his col, all feel the devastating influence of its airoco sweep. Look not upon the wine.

Perjury.

The Jhneriean Law Register has this decision in a case of Perjury arid comparison of handwriting by (he jury: “The defendant was indicted for perjury, alleged to have been committed by him on the trial of an action in the County Court, by swearing that the signature to a document was not in his handwriting. The judge of the County Court made the defendent write his'name in Court, and impounded the genuine, as well as the alleged forged signature: Stmble, that on the trial for perjury, the jury might look at and compare the two aienatures.

Sinope—The Scene ol the Naval Conflict.

A strole on the shore to see the place and sketch it from the circling beach, agreeably filled up a lung luvely evening. The aun bad retied his bloodshed eyes behind a dark brink of clouds, learing lurid lints of purple and yellow to pc trade earth, air, and water. The wind, hushed;, the bay, as.frozen over; the town, ailont as steep or'death, not even one twittering bird to break the heavy stillness of our walk; fishermen drawing their nets languidly, pendent sails wooing ‘ the breeze in rain, and lazy oars unimproved along boats 1 sides; all Sinope the enibmlirifentof calm repose in its highest ideality. .The temples, palaces, and pm liens, creeled by a powarful line of kings, hare been level-, ed with the dust .
