Col. C. E. R. Drayton, who was present by invitation, was then re- onested by the Moderator to address tlie gudicnce, which he proceeded at once to do at considerable length, and was listened to with marked atten tion. He was followed by Mr. D. H. Cro-land and Rev. J. D. Peacock in earliest, spirited and eloquent address es after which the following resolution was offered and unanimously adopted: /f««ofpcrf. That in our opinion it is tlie duty of ail Christians to throw the weight of their influence against the manufacture and sale of ardent spirits. From the tone of the discussion and the general feeling of interest exhibit ed by the delegates to the union meet ing, it may be safely asserted that the Baptist denomination of Aiken (’min ty are keenly alive to tiieirduties and responsibilities on this great question, and that they mean to discharge tlj.e/n with emphasis and distinctness. They regard tlie temperance question as a burning issye affecting the vitality and usefulimss of th«*Church, to such an extent.that it is both a crime and a folly t*» ignore it, and while they ap prove ami encourage tlie use of moral suasion at every favorable opportuni ty, they insist that the protection af forded *hy tlie law, to an occupatioi which entices the young from path- of sobriety to misery and ruin, and drives out peace and happiness and love from tbe domestic fireside, must lie torn down and the sale ot liquor,as a beverage, forever prohibit ed, ami that it he eon-igned to its pnper place on the druggist s shelf us a narcotic poison, fitouly for medical purposes. The seeojd question .re lating to tlie finances of the church was ably discussed by the Rev, J. C. Browne, who had been appointed to open tlie discussion, in his usual lucid and eloquent style, •everal inpor- tant suggestions were made by the speaker which met with tlie cordial approval of tlie delegates. Mr. Browne was tlie only speaker on this impor tant question and at the conclusion of his address, ns the hour was late, tlie usual committees were appointed and other routine business tranacted, after which tlie* meeting adjourned. On ttundny the* Union assembled in the church and a large congregation was present. After the 8unday-8chool exercises a praj'er meet ing was conduc ted Mr. D H Crosland assisted by Rev. D. Peacock and J. Cliff Hclley. An essay by the Rev. H, W.

At the conclusion of the ser mon the congregation was dismissed with the benediction and thus ended a most agreeable and instructive meet ing. The community of the White Pond section is one of the most improving ami prosperous portions of Aiken County, and tlie citizens generally are as hospitable, genial and gener ous as can he found any where in this State. The Rev. J. C. Browne and the Editor of Tice Aikjcn ItKcoiMiKK were handsoruly entertained by Messrs. H. W. Seott, Preston Harley and J. It. Mosely who left nothing undone that could make our visit agreeable, amPto whom we take pleasure in expressing through and the affair was a kind of love feast at the expense of the House: Tne debate that has l>eeii inaugura- in the senate over Die admission of Dakota, promises to lie long ami in-j teresting. The question has become I a party one, and the bill will puss the .Senate by the Republican vote. The Democrats count upon beating tlie bill in tlie House. They claim not to base their opposition upon a denial of tiic mg)it of Dakota to statehood. They admit that in population, wealth etc., tlie territory is entitled to be come a State: hut they assert that the people of Dakota have not couplied with the legal preliminaries. It is probable aeomprniise will he propos ed in the Senate looking to tlie admis sion of Montana, which is a Demo cratic territory, along with Dakota. One plan suggested is to admit Dako ta, Montana and Washington Territo ries. Dakota is Republican, Montana Democratic, and Washington is doubt ful politically. The proceedings of the lower House of Congress so far.' this week, have not been marked l»y of importance nor by any important debates. Routine husuies and petty wrangles have filled its record. Tlie demand upon the time of Con- grossiuen made by their constituents are such .that most of them are under the necessity of employing clerks Theduticsof these clerks are, mainly, to look after pension and other claims. It is now proposed to employ 825 ex tra pension clerks, (there are just three hundred and twenty-five mem bers iu the House,) one to be assigned to tlie business of each Congressional district; under the direction of the Representative of that district. Many members do not favor tuis plan, how ever, and prefer to d-val with tlie mat ter iu the old way A Congressman’s Jot i? a perfectly easy one, as will be seep by some sam ples of information they are expected to furnish their constituents. A West ern member remarked, holding some freshly opened letters in his hand, •‘If there is anything in Die world that my people do not write to Con gressmen about, I would like to know what it is. Here is a letter from a citizen in my district, who requests me to write to tlie American minister at Rome to send him .an Italian queen bee.

Baku- Ticket-Agent. Perhaps very few of your many readers remember the cold snap which visited this county, this month fifty the. j years ago. Opr friend tlie venerabfe i Mr, Steodnian of your town doubtless { recollects it coining upon ussuddeniy j on one Friday night, the day follow- 1 ing, was known as the cold .Saturday. The instensity of thjs spell was of short duration. The cold snap which we have just passed through was un- precddetited for this latitude in its severity, lasting over a week, ice forming to tlie depth of many inches. Savannah River and Steal Creek pre sented a singularly pictuesque appear ance, ice formed in wavelets a# the water riflied and was grandly beauti- ture than the last. An utter disregard for the wishes of their constituents seems to have pervaded tlie Assembly. Not only on tho local option question and the census did these wise legisla tors disregard the wishes and express ed will of the people, but in other measures, notably the Lien Law. Whose interests did they subserve? Whose will did they obey in tamper ing with the law hi the manner they did? Aud why amend the law as it stood? It may be answered that the law as it was, was subversive of the interests ofthe farmer. How so? Did it give the merchant undue »d- vantageb Then tlie farmer had n i one to blame but himself. Did it im poverish tlie country? Then tlie pres ent law has not bettered tlie situation. The present law i? certainly a nui sance. Was it the intention of the Representatives of tlie people'*to dis gust the people with tlie lien law by inserting a starvation clause in it? it' this was their object, they certainly hit tlie nail on the head. Or was it a pieceof class legislation? intended for a certain class of our citizens, whose broad acres »o longer bring them the desired income, with cotton at eight cents and labor at $8 and $10 per month, f suspect the latter to be as near a solution of the problem as we are likely to guess.
