To the ladies he turned -in co-nelusion, uind soli cited their- powerfulinflucuce in. the cause, as those who of all others have most to gain. or to louse. Had not each one of them a father, a husband or -a brother, or per chance, one dearer than a brother,- that by her influence or example she might win to a life of sobriety and virtue ? They might all be sober men now; but were they not surrounded by dage'rous and powerful temptations? na thoughtless moment she might ofTer the firstglass, and thus give her sanction to drinking. That fisrt glass. offered by the band of beauty and incocence, has often proved the "ruin of an amiable and beloved 'husband or brother. The full force of example-who can.estimate ; and where the ladies have taken an active interest in the cause, there has it met its most abundant success, for they are ever irresistible. EDGEFIELD C .

Another has been established in the same district 7 miles east of the Court House, called Sazby, of which Edmund Miller. Esq.. is Post Master.

The Greenville Mountaineer states that Enoree P. 0. is at Van Patton's Shoals, on the Enoree river, about 20 miles from the villages of Greenville, Spartanburg, und Lautrens, and is on the route from Greenville to Woodruff's. Mr. Culpepper.-The Temperance Advocate says: " We are gratified to learn that this gen tleman will visit various portions of the State, as a Temperance Lecturer, under the authori ty-of the Executive Committee of the State Temperance Society " Connecist.-The Whigr of this 8'tate have succeeded in electing their candidat-e for Go vernor, and a majority of both Houses of the Legislature, thereby securing the election of two Whig U.

Reveue.-The amount of duties at the N!ew York Custom House during the quarter ending on the 1st inst., was $15,731,5R4 37, being more than the estimate of the Secretary of the Trea sury flow all the Custom- Houses of the coun try. Postages.-The following are the rates of Postages recommended by the Post O'flice Comn mittee in the House of Representatives: All under 30 miles 5 cents. All under .100 miles .10O 'All under 400 miles 15 " All over 400 miles 25 ' 'rTe only difference between the above rates andthe present ones is their adaptation to the . Fedetal cudrency. Brick Mfaine.--A new machine for making pressed Brick, has beer invented by Messrs. Baker & Giu'ord, of Troy, N. Y., capable of pressing from eight to .ten thonsand brick per day, wvithsthe services of one man and two boys. The Bricks wherr they leave the machine are .ady for burning. Arrical and cption:of Mr iiagC ares ton.-The Patriot of Sit lide 'It states.'that Mr. Clycriivedlsre about69'clock. .re. parations. were made for his reception in "i tlauner becmning his public character. in King, from-Ge'orge to Wentworth-streets; sev eral beautiful arches fornLed of Evergreens and Flowers-ice thrown across-King street, with enIblnmatieaevices. Mr Clay was received at the UpierDepositaiy by the Whig Coilt mittee of Arrangements, where be entered a handsome Barouche, drawn by four splendid horses, and a procession being formed of per sons in Carriages and on Horseback, it pro. :eeded. down King to Broad down Broad to fleeting Street, and up Meetingstreet to the New Theatre, where tVi Clay was received by the Committee of reeption, the Chairman )f which, the venerable Revolutionary soldier, Dr. William -Read, addressed him in..elnquent terms, welcoming his arrival and ten duriing to him the hospitalities of thecity. Mr. Clay-re plied at some length, but we must defer to another opportunity any notice of his remarks." road Commissioners Duty.-We, some time since, called the attention of the Commissioners to the law relative to the butting up of " Guide Boards and Mile Stones," throughout the dis trict, thinking, that a word to the wise would be enough, and that the work had been ere this completed, and. paid for ; we were some what surprised, upon perusing the Greenville M1runtaineer, of the 29th ult. at finding the fol lowing editorial remarks upon the negligence of duty on the pact of the Commissioners of thisand Abbeville District, with an ext::nct from the law annexed. -r% e would advise our Com missioners to set abunt the work immediafely, as travelling editors, like candidates. have very little mercy upon negligent officers. and they may, should some ill natured editor loose his way, be nulted into damages. From the Mountaineet. Guide Board and Mile Stones.-We know of nothing which gives the traveller more comfort and satisfaction, when passing through a sec tion of country he is unacquainted with, than for the road to be properly supplied with correct Guide Boards and Mile Stones. These remarks were veryforcibly biought to our mind, a few weeks since, whilst journeying upon a main market road through Abbevillo and Edgefield Districts. In those Districts, there are no Guide Boards at many important forks of roads (as we learned to our cost, in one instance, at least) and a large number of the Mile Stones are either incorrect or so unintelligible as not to give the traveller any information at nil. Similar complaints are made in the upper Dis tricts of this State, but not to so great an ex 'ent. In order to remedy these evils, our Le gislature passed a very saltury Act at its last session, from which we republish the following extract, and hope Commissionets bf Roads will pay particular attention to iti " Every Commissioner of Rodds. in his re spective road division, shall cause nll the roads in his division to be posted and nuihered. ned at each Fork f said Roads a pointer declaiiu, the direction of such Roads; and any Commis sinner failing oir neglecting to do so. shall be liable to pay the sun of tti dollars foe each aid every such neglect, to be recov,-red by in dictment in the Court of General Sessions of the District wherein the same occurs, to he paid when collected, to the Treasurer of the Board to which such delinquent belongs: Pro sided, no Commissioner shall be liable to said penally who puts up said pointers at such time as he works his road division." Swindling.-We have been shewn a hand bill, (says the Charleston Courier,) dated Lan caster. (Pa.) March 30, describing the person of a swindler named Martin Light, or Lisghtt, who obtaine'd-from various persons some $1600 and for whose detection a reward of two butn dred dollars is offered. The description is as followi. "Light is about 28 or 30~ years of agre. re mtarkably.- broad aiid rotund ~shonhleered, very fiurid comnplexion, with a cut on his upper lip. iwo teeth out in front, which are sonmetimers replaced by artificial oes. light or sandy htair. slightly pita marked, five feet five inches high, very strongly made, and somewhat bow-legged. lIe speaks Germiani finently; carried mn the milling husiness extensively five miles froti Lancaster, at Peter's Mill, itt Mautor township.

Annexation and the Texans.-Our read ers may have seen it- stated in the papers, that there was but one member of the late Texan Congress, opposed to atnex ing that territory to the United States. It is dow said that the painful anxiety he evinced upon gthe subject, his earnest and serious opposition to the measure-aroused the curiosity of members, when on inqui ry, it was ascertained that he was a native of the United States. and ran off to Texas, under circumstances which might warrant the arrest of n fugitive from justice! Camden Journal. A very severe hail storm passed! through the country, some four or five miles west and north of this place. on Friday night last. Its cotrse was from south-west to north:west.

Mr. Seabrook is desirous to make the sale of the work pay the expenses of publication and thus avoid the necesity on the part of the General Society of the State ofdevo. ting any part of their fuuds to this purpose. The work has met with the most unquali fied praise every where, and there is not s doubt that every planter in the State would be glad to have a copy placed within his teach.

W D. JENNIN1GS, T. F. KEITH. March 27 if9 OdBLTIARY.. Died at the house of Dr. i. T Minis. ii thit Viilage, the 25th of .March last. Mr. Datuit W.I TIB F.Ts. in~the'39th yeai of hid age. Mr. Tibbets wasna nativeof Prospect, in thc State offlaine, and had been a resident o this Village for abuomir yeara, duringa %twhi time his uniform, amiable and exemplary de portment and benevolett disposition had gained the confidence and esteem of all who knew him. Death under all .:ircunstanees is painful and listressing, in cutting aaiinder the closest tiet of friendship and affection. But the circum stances attending the death of this excelleni man were peculiarly affecting to his family and numerous-friends, and has filled umany a heart with the deepest anguish. The morning ol the 25th March found him healthy, active and :lteerful, and able to ptosecute his daily work Ele was employed in painting the root of a house., It was Saturday evening, the labor rs the week and of the day were almost clos and he was about to retire from his daily Ia bor when the ladder on which he stood way disengaged from the top of the roof, and he ras precipitated to the grotnd. He was .carried into the house of.Dr. Mims, where he was attended by skillful physicians, who were immediately called in, and receited all the attention that kind friends. could be stow. At first, hopes were entertained that his injury was not serious, but those hopes were soon disappointed; in a few hours he breathed his last. How mysterious to man are the ways of God. How unsearclable are his judgments and hit ways past finding nufl lie who was a few days ago healthy, active and vigorous, and laboring to suppoi t himself and family dependant on him, now sleeps in the cold grave. The :writer of these lines has knotwn air. Tibbets since he has been a resadont of ont Village. and has often dontersed with him on the subject of religion. and is happy to be able to state for the consolation of his relatives and friends, that he has been for some length 01 time greatly concerned aboat the salvation of his soul. and desirous to become experimentally acquainted with the'plan of salvation. And during the shd-t period he was permited to live after the fatal aceident, he was earnestly engaged Il prayer to God for rneruly, and there is good reason to believe that He who never turns a deaf edr to the eardest jirayers of his areattres, hearkened to the voee of his suppli ations. The day after his death being Sabbath. a tneral serarotn was preached in the Methodist Church over his remains, and at the close of he service they were conveyed to the village burying groid by a numweroafs company of relatives and friends, and deposited in the grave, where they will remain till the morn oh the resurrection. He nas left an afflicted wife and one little Itild to mourn their loss.
