We claim to be as temperate in j the use of whisky as any man living, and we heartily join in any comtmndablework In' thecauseof temperance, but we shall never! join a crusade to persecute those vliosecon> btions will not enable then> to set* as wc do.! J-Vr our own part, we aie inclined to the; opinion that there ure entirely too many di-j rect personal assaults upon liquor dealers,! imd too little attention lias been paid to the warning of our people against the treat dan- j ger attendant npon even the moderate use of whisky. The way to aUvunce thecause of! temjierance Is to instil that moral conviction upou tiie mind and heart which will guard us ' from becoming a victim to that sin which > doth so easily beset us. Last year from every scctlon of the State there was a demand for a ! law against the carrying of concealed deadly weapons, but in r.o instance have we seen a denunciation of the dealer in such weapons. Timv ?u.vntfii their enercies entirely to the! necessity of an ab Ucnu-nt of a most demonil- j1 i^ing piactice, and iiow If th?* Iricu-.lsof ten)- : r pcranee will devote their energies to the a;l-j v.incenient of a c.iuse upon the success of; Which the prosperity of our country so much I depends, they will no doubt have the pl'-as-j ? lire of enjoying the fruition of their fondest i hopes. Let them cease to abu-c those who | differ in opinion front them, and above all, let these worse than idiotic tirades against I whisky dealers st? p. It In the practice of ] tippling that we are to preach against aud e not the man who sells the whisky. j j.( "We think the ladies of every section of the J j, county should send their petitions to the Ilep-' rcsen(atives in the Legislature, appealing to! J them for the enactment of a law prohibiting J ( the sale of whisky in every part of the State, i I and we think there are very few member* of j " the General Assembly who would disregard ii such an appeal. At the last meeting of the!?' Legislature many good laws were enacted, l ^ and we have 110 doubt our Representatives j ji would enact t!ie prolilbltory la'.v?if we only j!l asked them to do so. Let those who are real- < j! ly in earnest In their patriotic desire to bene- j e fit every citizen in the Stale, set to work in a j proper way to efl'ect this purpose. V>'c have| t ample time to discuss the matter, and we veil- j 1: ture the assertion that if this persecution of P* the liquor dealers is slopped many of thein | > will Join the temperancc cause and be .as anx- j ious lor a prohibitory law as the most zealous j j" advocates of temperance. Many men whoseli I whisky indisputably are good citizens, and in I *7/?!%: many matters pertaining t?? the public wel-j^ -- *{'v jrtro nro zealous and patriotic.

SAVANNAH RIVER AND IIAKBOIt. The Appropriations ? What Has Bcenj Done and What is to bo Accomplish- j ctl -Lighting the River. I [Savannah Xeu>3.] We nrc plci.sed to lay beforeour renders, this nomine, .>ome definite lnfortnutioii In refcrnee to ttie impropriation# made by Congress orilieilvor untl harbor of Savannah at the ii'esession. Theie were so many amend-1 uents to the severnl bills that It was difllcult o know exnetly what had been passed or that not. Ilcuinc yesterday that Colonel K. '. Anderson, who has always taken meli a Ively interest in all that coneernsour hai bor,; nd who Is probably better Informed in re-1 ard to its condition and needs than any one I u Georgia, had received some definite inforuation, we called upon htm to ascertain the] talus of affairs. He hud Just received a letter roin Senator Drown on the subject, in which t was stated that the sum ol had been pproprlntcd for liRhtins the river,and S&i.OOO I jr improving the harbor, a portion of w hich j ittersum is to be expended forlhe work ol j uttinguway the projection at Fix Island and! lie payment of damages for the land taken, j loth those appropriations were increased over lie original amounts reported, and this was) ceomplished through tne aiduous eltorts of; enator Hrown, Jlon. James II. Hloilnt and | urImmediate iepr< s. ntatl vc, lion. John C. ."icliolls, and other friends. The appropriation for lighting the river is j onsidcred sufficient for tl.c purpaso, und this rnpoitant work whl he commenced very l%rx% f ii vtilor t hp rlirpofion r>!' th<* Nat ioilttl ,l;:ht House Board at Washington, and will I completed in lime to be available lor next j car's cornmcrce.

Is. however. gratifying to kuow that the! rork will soon be commt need. lu this cod-j ie?-tion we may state ? singular fact, showing | iow little Savannah has been favored In lhl?| es;>ect. The total amount of appropriations [ ip to January l(i, 1SS1. for lighting of Delaware iver, from Philadelphia lo the t'apes, was Sl,1!>,ITwhile the total amount up to the amc time for lighting theSavannah riYcr was inly SN.i.U'l", and yet the exports alone of Sauntiah for the year lssa wcre$H>.7-ln,(K)!>, grcaty in excess, we are Informed, of the comae: ee on the Delaware, l'hls demonstrates learly that the pert of Savannah is certainly iot esa-tlng In seeking appropriations. With regard to the appropriation of SW.000 or the Improvement ol the l>arhor, our city Is! o be congratulated, as the original approi?rl-| tlon was only Sii.OOO. and it was increased to ] his amount only through the energy and per-1 Isteneeof Senator Hrowu and representatives j Jlchollsaml Hlount, whodciived valuable In-j orniatioii. facilitating their labors, from Col- i ir.el Anderson, who was in Washington for! ometime. Tills appropriation will bo expended under j he direction of General C| A. Gil more, and lie work in progress will be continued with i^or. From the sea bnoy to the Knoll chanlel. near where the old lightship lay, there is ilenty of water. The tlrst obstruction is met j ,t this point, which will be at once improved, t was here that the Sobastaeook and Thomp-i on were sunk during the war, aud a shoal has hereby been made. The hulls of thc.so vos-l els are sunken In the mud, and we under-1 tand will have to be blown our. This Is ihej Irst material point to receive the attention of i he engineers. Another point requiring deep- > nlng is what is known a* Horseshoe Flats, bove the oyster bed?. While theappropriaIon Is not sufllclciit to make the entire lmirovemeuts desired, yet much can be acconi- j l'shcd, and by next season onr harbor will be reatly improved, allowing vessels drawing j Inetecn feet to come up to the city on ebb! Idc. Another interesting matter is the following, I ,hlch Senator Hrown had incorporated antl | assed, and the benetit of which work is readly apparent: "And the Secretary of War Is hereby direct-! d to cause to be made examinations and sur- j eys, or both, and estimates of thecost of fur-' her Improvements necessary to bo made In lie Savannah river and haibor to Increase (he j optli of water In said river anil harbor from j he b:ir up to the city to twenty-two feet, nnd i r> make an estimate of the cost of widening he channel of the Savannah river opposite he city to Mx hundred feet uniform width iith the balance of the channel."

DRUNKENNESS AS A SIX. t s F Its Eiril Effects Upon the Pnblic Wei- jfare?It Should be Opposed by Chris- t tianily, not Fanaticism. The Rev. \V. H.

The vice of In- i teniperanco Is now* a great national sin In . America, sub verting law anddcstroylngcount- 1 less lives and wrecking the happiness or many homes. It is a sin against God and the soul. Whilst communities nrO guarded by enact- . ments to protect thom from murder, theft, yet v drunkenness Is not considered as a crime. The laws have not stopped the perpetration of \ crime, yet wholcsomochccks have been placed j by th?'m upon criminals who are puulsbed or Imprisoned for violation of law. , The duty of the State Is to protect the happl- f ncssor the family; drunkards should be ltn- , prisoned: civil rules should be rigidly cnforc- . ed as to the regulation of thesulootm, restrict- r ing the manufactureof spirits,as the facilities ^ of obtaining drink area great temptation. , Legislation should be enforced and the barkeeper and liquor dealer should not be allow- . ed to have things their own way,and the mor- v al Industrious citizen should not be taxed to . maintain polit e regulations against criminals . froin drink. Thereare two vlewsof drunken- . nes*?one regarding it as a dlBeasc, the other as a sin. The treatment under the first view . Is to turn the drunkard over to the doctor, i But the corn et view Is to regard it as a sin ; It Is so regarded by God's word, where It I* reck- . oned with the most atrocious crimes. Asa sin | ( it must be met by moral agencies and civil , law. Heventy millions arc annually derived ( by the Unlieil Bitten revenue tax on lhjuorn. i Seven hundred million dollars are engaged In j its manufacture, yet only per cent of this Is paid to the operatives. L in North Carolina last year eight millions L of dollars was spent In tho manulacturo and | ( sale of Uguors, one million was spent In the j. causcof religion. Nostatlstlcs of Kouth C.'aro-'j, Una could be obtained, but the showing would ; j not be much better, if aDy, thau that of the Old North State. No fanaticism should bo attendant upon tho real In chocking Intemperance. Tho use of t wine, beer andulo should be encouraged. The i Christian can indulge In moderation In the use ; t of these. St. I'aul commends the use of wine, I to Timothy, and wine U not accursed as It Is I ] used In the most sacred offices of tho Church, and with the approval of our Saviour. If wo ( pity the drunkard, lot us soo'.he his sorrows j ] and show him a better way. The Influence of i women, the total abatlnene, pledge, the lnebrlute asylum have all fu..ed. The Church is | the only reformatory of any avail, and this Is .' of Divine appointment. It a man cannot In-1J dulgeor Is notable to resist temptation, then j total abstinence Is his duty. Thegraceof God 1 will give him strength to resist. "Bo not All-1 { ed with new wlno, but with the Holy Spirit," these will never seek the bowl. J ] Rev.

Ton years experience In tho use of a crosscut frw has proved to me tha I have been working under many disadvantages until reccntly. My wish Is for all to know the great advantage of a plan which I puisue. Tako a new saw that has never been set, placc It between two boards cut to fit the saw; clamp it tluht on a bench or vice, take an iron wedge, tile one corner to suit the set of teeth when finished, then take a small hammer, hold the wedge with the left hand, strike the tooth lightly with the hammer until at the right place; then turn the wedge on the opposite ' sldo nnd on tlic next tooth, nnd set 11. in me name wny; now then you rcnch the third the most Important tooth in the saw?have it perfectly strnlulit; puns on to the fourth tooth, set it lis you did the first; turn the wedge, set the ' fifth tho other wny ; leave the sixth tooth r h< might; nnd so on until you finish. Now tnke your Hie, dress the two teeth us you d?i ' the common saw; tiie tiiird file perfectly J sunlight and square?leaving It about on&twentieth part of one Inch shorter than the o'.hers.

Th..t is the f j evidence. Uf all those that are avowedly Christians, ' J many aie liiought to be faithful christians because they I are such zealous Workers. God forbid that 1 should i say one sii glo word to throw a shadow upon activity, I wiilcb very olten u the very method of niorul and j spiritual >tl>i but 1'aui say, "Though u man is to full I of zeal that lie will go io me extent of dying f r the I cause In which be labors, giving his body io be burned, if he bas not love, which is the lirot and crowning gin '! ly. lie is nothing.''

Men have tried to otuuiit out the very spark which wimjnst the element that sympathy | nret ed. One of the Very qualities which God tiixant mould carry ram th.ough ihe world easily has uniortuuateiy been disowned in the religious disciple. It Is not the exuberance of feeling, but the quality which is Important. In life the power of producing emotion may be In tome men very rmall) but lb? quality of emotion Is right, and thoir nature Is such that tliry can respond. Do yon suppose that a little string strained m oil a vlouu is able to bring out ?ueh a body of sound us the largest string strained on the double bass viol, nevertlielcs.*, its sound is Just as good and Just as ruur in Its place. And persons who overflow with feeling are | not nicssariiy better th.?n those who do not. They ! may be more uvelul, and they may bo happier but they ! are not necessarily bettei; and so far aa evidence is j concerned, the mere etUux of l'oeling, the generation i of it or the outpouring of It is not evidence. Nunc I persons have fcuilng, they cannot help themselves; but i Ills no mora eredlt to theui than It Is to u hydrant to ; j glvu lorth water, ; A great man/ ill In k. religion to be rigor of conduct circrjtsi'EcTiux, WATcurx'Lxxgs. i Te*, there is u gieut deal of that In u; watchfulness li ! j nul religion. liesl cure in judiiitf as to what Is rigbt 11.11 a wrong, and a strong endeuvor to do what is right, 1 j lire a pnrt of religion, but tbi-y ure not tbe s>>lu ele' uneiils of rtllglon, A wan may have them and not bo ' a truly Christian man. Indeed, I have sometimes i thought that, useful us a man with them may be as ' an adjuvant to tbe community's conscience, und as an ' auxiliary to tbe law, bo sometimes Stands as far from ' Christianity as a man possibly can do. Our Muster ' has tunght and tbe anoslle has taught that f?r a |ust I j mug scarcely an) body couid bo found to die; but for a ' good man perhaps some one might be found willing to " die. That Is the argument of the apo tie. A rlgoi* II ously lust man always tries to do right; und the eon ' | sclelillous reeling which tciuaiea mm ib u very uooie i one,and la not to be dissuaded from; butas an evidence ' of urn) Christian religion mere conscience, althougn i it is an elemeut of it, Is not the very center anil heart ' of it. Ills too aug'ilur, too ciuel Jor that, j That which constitutes the lest of whether you are | | a Christian or not Is the absolute quality autl quantity of love, und of joyjoy Jot. Hear It, ye Puritan; it Is the l?ve that Interprets, radiantly la) log the path all the way to the throne nf our God, taking away fear?for perfect love casteth out fear, and It is joy, that cannot be borne hulf lo well anywhere e'ae as In the bosom of lov-; and It is pcace, carried up through ' all the stages of excitement to Its utmost? IT IS THIS* THAT CONSTITUTE RF.L1QI0.'* and when tbo sou) is niot>t nearly Impalpable, when ft is least as?oclated with the flesh, when It It In its very highest mood*, they are lis witnesses. These j together with long suffering, gentleness, goodness i' (which I suppose Is the nearest to good" nature, only there is more in goodnature tnan to mere goodness) ' faith(the Imagination working in spiritual affairs). I meekness, temperance (perlNCt selfO'iitioI), are the ' eveldence that a pusoii who possesses them Is a ' Chlrtlan, and they are evidence that a child can ! understand. Every step of what is called 'growth 1 lu Christ1' In a man Is the grawth of these qualities. Now hi regard to these qualities, you will remark ' that they are called "nir rntirr or Tim Bpinrr." I This figure is felicitous, not simply ns showlngthe i origin of theBe qualities, and the causation which produced them(the action of the mind of God upon tbe human concclence and the human affection), but i also as showing the acual states of cvtlutlon through ; which men's experience goes. i You know that if you examine the peach-buds today. If you cut the blunt, heavy ones across, you will, find blossmms laid up In them. It is there. And Just exactly so men have In their moralities a sort of germ bml that may be developed into something a great ' denl mote than a dormant bud. When April aud .May ' i iLii.ll corns-, then will come out those blofBSoms. They are not goud for anything except to bo beautiful.

When a person Is In good health, and under kindred Influences, he seems to himself and to all around about hltn to I * II inore sweet, more b.aiitifni. more lovely; but the J) steadfastness of these qualities, the permanence of them, the mingling ol one with another, aud the overflowing of all forms of goodness? tiiiw'c aite the work or idccatioh.

No man reaches them except by g?tii|f * through a process of development, as fruit goes V through a process of development. * Wi II, Is this an encouragement or a discouragement to _ you?

I know that persons arc busy, and that they have the consolatory hopo Hint somehow, just before they leave the word, they will inukc their p.acc with God. Moft ungenerous, most dishonorable, inoht in- an Is such a bargaining with one's self as auainsi a God who lovrs as our God lotes. Hut then, consider. Suppose you do save yourself. The Scripture speaks of being snv' ed "So as by Are." A man comes in with his ejtliudn-s all burned off and Lis clothes wrinkled and scorrhed, niul what Port ut limn Is he? Hi* may have saved his life, but his beauty Is all gone. The Idea iif escaping Into heaven In this way! The apostlu Peter speaks of nun thiit do great works, and ubouiid In them, o# OOI.TO ItOttK TO KEAVCN: of all the gates as being thrown f pen. and of I hero beI iisj nil exceeding abundant entrance given to them. It mean* rather, thata gr at chord rriuinph will be given to them, and that nil heaven will jmur out upon the highway to receive them. I remembei th" morning that I first came back from Enland, anil Killed up this most renowned and beautiful harbor of the world. How Irish thu green fields on either side looked! how sweet the air was! how 1 rail lent everything wemed! and how one familiar feature after another in the city appeared 1 There was my own home luminous on the banks; they did not know that I was coming; and tnv heart rolU.l over In perpetual silence of music all the time. I was coming Dome; and that was a GLORIOUS CNTP.ANOK FOR TI1K WKART OLD SlltP that bus buffeted the waves for many a day; and that is the way a man will goto heaven If ho is living a ( Christian life.
