"J Dispatches read from Columbia Inform us i that the dispensary forces of York have or- i ganlzed to defeat Senator Brioe, author of tbe ** C1 antl-dlspensary law, known as the Brlce act. \ Tbe saloon element see spooks and they are ? ' alert watohers. ^ If the prohibitionists, the saloon men, and t tbe blind tigers will now organize to sustain t him, the question may be properly settled. ' While the defection ot the prohibitionists ] from tbe dispensary and their Joining forces ? with the lloense people may defeat the con- t trol of tbe liquor traffic in York, and possibly ( In the State, It Is better lor the dissatisfied * elements to make their fight. The Press and c Banner bas no sort of doubt but that me aib- i pensary law Is the best that bas yet been 1 tried, bat being a Democrat, we think tbe ) ? majority should rule, even tbougb tbat ma- < Jority brlogs on tbe evil of frea liquor and 1 unrestrained lawbreaklng. Tbere are mas; J [:,[ good people wbo are bonestly opposed to J tbe dispensary. Tbe prohibitionists seem to think tbat with tbe dispensary done away wltb, all our troubles will end, and sobriety i and anlverslal peace would reign supreme. Those wltb wbom they are allied In this j campaign are equally honest In their belief tbat with tbe dispensary destroyed all their rlgbta to keep open bars will be restored, when every man can spend his money for lntoxloants and then drink to bis heart's content. Those] of our fellow-cltlzens who, In the > .years tbat are past, ever dreamed of probl bltloolsts lining np witn me oarroom auvu. | estee,will please bold up ihelr hands. Heretofore, prohibitionists bave thought that tbelr motives were the highest and tbelr alms were the purest. We know this to be true, and It is possibly true yet, but the Idea of a prohibitionist standing upon a lloense - platform is something new under the Bun. K ?? The Old Barn Burner's Son. Father Sherman, son of the great destroyer f of the property of the South, has occupied attention from newspapers for the last few days. It seems that this Rev. Father by tome means seoured a military escort to accompany him over the country that wat aesoiaiea oy am wiuvr ueu.ouciiuau, At tbe Sooth has more reason to bate old Sherman than any man la the Northern army, it seema that good sense, good mani~ . sen, or good behavior would have restrained the bod from such an exhibition of himself.

'olnt<* ol* Intercut Along Boat Line from Waitiiugtou toXorlOllt. dltor of Press and Banner: Within tne past few days I bad the pleasure t going from Washington to Norfolk, by oat, en route for Abbeville. There are so lauy points of Interest along this route that brief account of the trip might be interestig The boat on which I took passage belonged a the Norfolk and Washington Steamboat Ompany, and was one ol the largest and best urnlsheU boats in the service. It left the ?harf at Washington al 6:30 o'clock, Bailing at on the placid Potomac, as the soft caresstig shadows of the evening deepened Into light. The setting sun brought out In bold euef Arlington, in all its colonial splendor, rownlng a perfect mountain of green that loped gradually down to the river's banks. LUIS properly, COUUSCHiea 'iy me reumui iovernmeni, was converted lutoa cemetery, lore iban sixteen thousand Federal soldiers iow sleep about tbe liome of ILie South's ;reat nero. Scai geii' does Arlington fade from view vueu Alexandria is pointed out to tbe truvtier. This is tbe second oldest existing city n tne Uulted States, and it Is said thai lit ippearance Has uot materially changed sinct nedajs wuen Washington made one of tut >usy orowu thai walked lis streets. The lotel at which Washington stopped, Is still landing aud is used lor the same purpose fbecnurcli in which he worshipped Is mere ind is in appearance not unlike tne ohurcnee u towns of this size today. There too ma; >e seen the Braddook House In wnicn firau lock was entertained the night beiore nt naried on his 11.-fated march for Fort Du juesne. By the time the boat has reached Mt. Verjon, mgbt has settled down on the waterB md only the dim outlines of tbe boat landluj jan oe distinguished by the pale moonlight Vlt. Vernon has all the appearance of suet jiegance as might be commanded by in* most prosperous In tbe early days of tne He public, but In point of beauty and oiaguifl jence, as compared with Arlington, there n lust tbat dlflerence that the march of iltut would evolve. After a ride of about Ave hours, at Poln i ih> aiaomar ikavom tta? PnLomao ant sails out Into the Chesapeake Bay one ol tin most beautiful sheets of water lu tbe world Sir Walter Kalelgb sailed over ibis earn obannel for tbe first time in 1585. Tbe next point ol Interest aud near tbe end of tbe Journey Is Old Point and Fort Monroi located tbere. About two hundred yard from tbe boat landing at Old Point, Is tb Cbamberlln Hotei; perhaps tbe largest, a well as one ol tbe most splendid hotels In tb' United Stales. Tbe dining room wltb fulij 2000 square leet of floor space, expends uu over tbe waters of tbe bay. A dance pavillui under the same roof Is entirely out In tbi bay. Tbe pariors, which are In Ibree apart ments, capable of belog thrown Into one, an about 200 feet by flf y feet. The entire build Ing is in keeping with tbe magnitude of suci parts as are mentioned. A large piece o ground, some Ave acres on tbe side of tb< hotel, Is fenced In with what appears at somi llltle distance to be a spiendlu Iron picks fence. Closer Inspection reveals the fac that every picket Is an old muBket' barrel With bayonet fixed on tbe barrel above tin upper rail. The posts are all old cannon The gnn barrels were gathered from ibe batm He da of tbe late war. From tbe hotel, Fort Monroe Is an eas; walk. Iia frowning guns and elevated banki of sand catch tbe eye of tbe approachlni traveler far out at sea. It was here tha President Davis was confined and subjectei to those unnecessary humiliations that caiiei down toe everiasung eunuuy 01 tuo huuiuch people on lis perpetrators. Fort Monroe li the largest tort lu America, covering as It doe some eighty acres of land and fronting th< water on two sides. It Is the Bhape of an li regular hexagon, and like the old Spanls! port, Is surrounded on the land side by i moat about one hundred feet wide. Old Point Is about fifteen miles from Nor foili. To see the Intervening country to bes advantage, one should for a time quit thi boat here and take a trolly car, going ihrougl the towns of Phoebus, Newpoit News am others. Newport News has the largest dock yards in the oountry, in whleh are employe* over 7000 workers. Two new Uovernment battleships, tbi North Carolina and the Missouri are belnj oonsiruoted there now; wulle several largi American vesnels and a Qerman mac of wai are In the large dry dooks undergoing re pairs. The entire crew ol typical Qermani are quartered there while this vessel Is un dergolng repairs. The trolley line from New port News to where you again take a boat loi Norfolk, near the mouth of the James Rive; runs through a most beautiful trucklnf reeioD ; and the same Is true of the utretcn o country from the opposite Bide of the Jamei to Norfolk. There are miles and miles o beauti, cabbage, and other vegetables. Norfolk Is a city of about 70,000 Inhabitant! and If natural advantages count for anything it snould some day be one of the largest oitiei In (he United States. Just opposite Norfolk is Portsmouth, a oltj ol about 20,000 inhabitants. Tbe Governmen navy yards are located here, In which severa ihousands are employed. Anchored out a Bca here, as well as at Fort Monroe, are som< of the government's largest battle ships tha well looked tbe part of "defenders of thi Nation." Tne battle Bblp Oiympia, Admlra Dewey's flag ship at Manila, is In tne drj dock at Portsmouth undergoing an overhaul Ing. There are several slight dents In he armor, made by tbe toy guns of thi Spaniards. There Is tbe bridge on wbloh th< admiral stood when directing the battle. Norfolk and Portsmouth are conneoted bj ? line of ferry boats running every twelv< minutes. If there is any objection to tbe trip frorz Washington to Norfolk by boat, it Is the fac that much of tbe way Is made in the nlgbt rhe 6ectlon of country passed during thi night, however, Is least interesting or all thai Is passed. And then there are always two oi Lbree young married couplet, and parties o poung people. To such, in tbe glow and ardoi y yi utbful love, where would be th~ pi asurc }f a boat ride, robbed of the soft moiunghl that coaxes to the quiet undisturbed chat on leek. In deference to theie, we of coursc peleld our prosaio Idea of traveling on y Id he day time, Subscriber.
