The Cowpus Centennial.
We attended the Cowpens Centennial on
the 11th instant. Arriving at Spartanburg
on the night of the 10th, we found every hotel
crowded, and thousands of people lounging
about the hotels and walking about in the
streets who could not find shelter. The cars
goi:g to and returning tron tle celebration,
were orowded almost to itiffocalion. On the
morning of the 11th, nbout day breaL, the
artillery commenced firing salutes, and by
sun rise the whole town nid encanipnents
were aroused and the stieets soon became so
crow 'ed as to rendler pedestrianism very
difficult. At 10 o'clock A. Ml. the military
review took place, Which was quite a success.
At 12 M. the orations were delivered. Geni.
Hampton spoke first, represent ing file Sout1
ern States. lie was followed by Mr. Iliggin
son of Massachusetts, representing the New
England Statcs, who ill t urn was followed by
Mr. Franciso f New Jersey, represent ing Ihat
and New York States. We were not able to
secure a position niear enough to hear le

was nlveiled ly four t een young Indies, when
the crowd began to ,lisperse, and many, in
fact all wlo could crowd iito the cars left for

ixv. Liz. AvoIR--I1 Dear B1rother: In
ninswer to your request, I will give you rho
clearest, statement, I am able to make of the
present aspects of the "Mlaine Law" in
Maine and Vermont, and of tihe chief grounds
oftarguinent by which the wisest and ablest
defenders of lie law maintain it. Of' course
it has many advocates that are neither ivise
nor able, as every similar cause will have.-- (
We shall not, concern ourselves with such' i
in tle two tates of Maine and Vermont, I
fle prohibitory law, so generally called "the t
Maine Law," is intact, and is conferring ines-,
timable blesnings upon those States. The 3
law in general ie as well exuted as any oh, t,
er law. In some cities, as in Augusta and I
Baingor, it is viohited inl a shaiefiii manner- I
Thicie are many reasons wily those places 3
should have a tinajority of drinking or drunk- i
en people. Let, a city have at ilij maority of 11
lieves, aiil gooo.-nnatured relatives of ltieves, I
wlo cai't bClr to IILVe aniybody puniished, and I
tie law againist theft, would be laxly executed, I
aspecially it lie olieers are thieves or thievish. n
But inl I lie 11ouiitry (owns aund villages. amnoig L

With a firm grasp and steady hian1d. It shows I
1o sig1s of weaikening. 'IThe great liqpior in, s
erest of' lioston, con rolled by imeii of great !I
ivealth and small morads, is spending money s
it, every accessible point to weaken it. I
That they uiteceed inl making some drnmk
.rds, I 1d1iit. The law does not Iilertake e

Middlebury, March 12. 1881.
Of the character and rellability of the au
thor of thebabove letter, the Southern Pres
byterian Review editorially says:
"The author of this letter Is the Rev. Cy
rus llamlin, D.D., for many years a mis7on
ary to tke Armenian people, and President of
Roberts College, Constartinople, desi ned
for their enefit Circumstances beyon 1'
control, in (lie providenice of God, kept him
from returning to Constaninople. and he Is
now tle! honored President of Middlebury
College, Vermont. A most acceptable article
from him on the Maine law appeared in tills
Review for July 187R. Being solicited to
report the real state of public feeing in that
region now, touching the eperation and ef
fects of (lie Maine law, (about which unfavor
able reports have been very sedulusly circu
lated amongst ourselves,) it ha- pleased him
to do so in the form of a letter to one of u1s.
Perhaps this form of communication my draw
the mAre attention from our readers to his
testimony. Dr. Hamlin is both a good nnd a
great man, and lhis name must carry weight
wherever lie is known to any position which
he advocates We accept without qualifica
tion his testimony to tie exceedingly great
advainages derived from the prohibitory laws
of Maine and Vermont, and we earnestly
wish thai. all our State Legislatuires would
come to adopt thg same expedients against
Oie drealful vice of drunkenness.''
The temperain(e people in North Caroli> a
are making a vigorous campaign and exp'ect
to carry tle election in favor of prohibition in
the election which takes place in August.
