Temperance Lecture.
We take'pleasure in announcing that the
celebrated lecturer, Mr. Edward Carswell, of
Canada, will deliver an address upon the sub?
ject of temperance in the Court House on to?
morrow (Friday) evening. The public are
respectfully invited to attend, and we feel safe
in assuring the community that a rare enter?
tainment is in store for them, as Mr. Carswell
has been highly complimented by the press
wherever he has appeared before au audience
in this State, and in his wonderful style of
argument and illustration is said to rival the
world-renowned John B. Gough. His mingled
wit, humor and pathos entrance his hearers,
while the moral sentiment embodied in his
lectures, together with the powerful logic in
which he deals, tend to convince the mind and
ennoble the action of those within reach of
his influence. We trust that a large audience
will greet the distinguished orator, and espe?
cially hope that the fair sex, by their presence
and encouragement, will give an impetus to
the cause of. temperance, and assist in arrest?
ing the tide of dissipation and demoralisation
bow sweeping over the land, and the tearful
effects of which are to be seen alntost daily in
this community.

The last number of the Camden Journal
announces that its editor and proprietor, Mr.
John Kershaw, has relinquished its charge for
fie present into the hands of his father, Gen.
Joseph B. Kershaw, who will conduct the edi?
torial department. While extending earnest
wishes to the recent editor, whose ability and
tact have been signally demonstrated in his
brief journalistic career, we give a hearty wel?
come to his successor, and congratulate the
State upon his entrance on an important field
of labor. In bis salutatory, Gen. Kershaw tersely
announces the Hue of policy on which the pa?
per will be conducted, and which receives our
unqualified assent, viz:
"We shall endeavor to hold, in morals and
politics, a just conservatism, intolerant of false?
hood, treachery and corruption, just to friend
and foe, temperate in censures of those who
may honestly differ from us upon public ques?
tions, but fearless and firm in denouncing the
wicked purposes and devices of unscruplous
and selfish demagogues, who seek their advance?
ment regardless of the welfare of the State.
"Recognizing fully the vast changes of policy
incident to the revolutions through which we
have passed, and admitting the axiom that ac?
complished revolutions become laws, we shall
not contend against the inevitable, or struggle
for the introduction into questions of the day,
of truths,- which, however valued as sacred
vindications of our part, have ceased to exist
as practical issues.
"We are quite aware how difficult it is always
to repress the utterances of passion and preju?
dice, even when contending for justice and
moderation, but it shall be our effort to repress
the former, in ourselves, while we rebuke them
in others, and shall, at all times, seek to pro?
mote the latter by precept and example."
? An effort is being made to establish a
cotton factory at Erwin's Mills in Abbeville
Couuty. Several men of capital and kuown
euergy arc interested in it.
Our Baltimore Correspondence.
Baltimore and its Trade?The Inauguration of
President Grant?The Military Display and
the Grand Procnswn?Inaugural Ball, dec,
Baltimore, March 4,1872.
Mr. Editor: Baltimore has been unusually
quiet for the past month. Merchants are busy
receiving and arranging their stocks in the
various branches, preparatory for the approach?
ing spring trade. Within the past thirty-six
bours, however, the streets and hotels have
presented a lively appearance, thronged with
visitors and soldiers from all points North on
their way to witness the Inauguration. Train?
have been passing through the city every boor
on the B. & O. Bail road, heavily loaded with
regiments of soldiers from Philadelphia, Pitts
j burg, Boston, New York and other cities, North
and West.
In company with several other gentlemen
from the city, I left on the 5.20 train this morn?
ing, which carried sixteen crowded coaches at
that early hour, and arrived at the capital in
due time for the grand occasion. Working our
way through the already thronged streets, we
(reached the Metropolitan Hotel, on Pennsyl
j vania Avenue, where we were served with an
J elegant breakfast. The day was a bitter cold
one, and the wind blowing from the north-east
made it more disagreeable. Nevertheless, we
determined to take a glance at some of the
public buildings. After visiting the Smith?
sonian Institute, Patent Office, United States
Treasury, and lastly the memorable spot where
President Lincoln was assassinated, when we
were warned by "music in the air" that the
time had-arrived for the procession to start
from the White House, where it had been form?
ing. We then made for the Avenue, down
which it would pas3 to the Capitol. This thor?
oughfare was now filled with thousands of
shivering people. Every door, wiudow and
elevated place where a view could be gotten
was jammed. The Avenue, from the President's
house to the Capitol, was most elaborately deco?
rated with flags, streamers and insignias.
The first and second divisions of the proces?
sion consisted of military, including the cadets
from West Point, the Midshipmen from Annap?
olis, United States artillery on foot and a bat?
talion of Uuited States Marines, the Old Guard
of New York, Company A of the St. Louis
National Guard and several volunteer organi?
zations from this city.
The third division, consisting entirely of
United States troops, were commanded by
General Upton, U. S. A., aud the volunteer di
vision by Colonel Wm. G. Moore, of the Wash?
ington Light Infantry. The fourth division,
following the President, was under command
of Colonel John M. Bacon, and included five
bands of music.
The fifth division, commanded by Colonel R.
S. Smith, consisted of the Second Connecticut
Regiment, the Fifth Regiment National Guards
of tihe State of New York, the Third Regiment
National Guards of New Jersey, aud the Fifth
Maryland Regiment.
The sixth division consisted of colored troops>
who, with their bauds of music and drum corps,
presented a highly creditable appearance. The
remaining part of the procession was*divided
into six divisions, and included various officials
of the civil branches of the general and the
local governments.
The civic portion of the procession was
massed by Deputy Grand Marshal William
Dickson. The Chief of Police, with a large
mounted s-imad, preceded the march, dressed in
bright, new uniforms, and kept the immense
crowd which thronged the avenue from en?
croaching on the line of march. The pro?
cession altogether?civic and military organi?
zations?numbered at least 12,000, and made
an imposing display.
Nearly every organizatiou in the march was
accompanied by an effective bniss band, and
the route was enlivened by excellent music for
a space nearly two miles in length, causing the
spectators for the time to forget the intensely
nipping atmosphere and clouds of sharp dust
driven by the winds against their faces.
At the centre of the third division, was "The
President and the President-elect," as the offi?
cial programme designated Gen. Grant, accom?
panied by Senators Sprague, Logan and Bayard,
in an open carriage, drawn by four splendid
mouse-colored horses, with gold mounted har?
ness, and a portly liveryman. Surrounding
the carriage were the President's Mounted
Guard, a volunteer organization. Next fol?
lowed a close carriage, containing the Presi?
dent's family. Miss Nellie, with the usual
curiosity of girls of her age, was peeping
through the glass window, and I would take
her to be quite pretty, from a passing glance.
Next came the old veterans of the Mexican
war, in an ambulance, bearing their dilapida?
ted old banner at the head. There was now an
unbroken line of infantry, with glistening bay?
onets; well mounted cavalry aud rumbling ar
tilery?all handsomely uniformed, and each
with its band of music and flying banners,
which made a very imposing impression. One
banner noticed particularly by the writer was
an old United States flag, completely riddled |
and torn in strips by bullets, bearing the words
of "Gaines' Mills" on it. I suppose that youi
as well as many other eld Confeds., remember
too well that place.
The President was repeatedly cheered by the
dusty crowd, which he received with an un?
covered head. The Capitol was so througed
from early morning that it was impossible for
any one but a celebrity to approach near
enough to see or bear any of the ceremony
which took place there. At two o'clock the
procession began to return to the White House,
the President at the head. On arriving there,
the military were marched in various parts of
the city, where they were entertained. Thou?
sands of people continued to rush to and fro
through the streets during the rcmaiuder of the
eveniug.
The Inauguration Ball was to be the next
grand com?ng together, for which an immense
building, 150 feet wide by 300 feet long, was
erected purposely for the occasion, at a cost of
$40,000, being lighted with gas and heated with
flues, and every arrangement to make it a suc
j cess. The centre hall was the ball-room, beau?
tifully decorated with evergreens, flags, stream?
ers and insignias, and gas jets made to repre?
sent many figures. On the right was a large
aud commodious supper room. The supper
was in comparison with the other extravagant
preparations, and was conducted by a caterer
j from New York. On the left were numerous
roouis?President's private reception and dress
ing room, cloak room and others. At the op?
posite end of the granci entrance was a rostrum
for the President, Vice. President, members of
Cabinet, &c. During ".he evening many per?
sons were presented to the President. Among
the most noticeable at ;he Ball, was the Japan
Minister, escorting a lady in full dress of her
country. The Cadets from West Point were
also conspicuous (except Smith). The atten?
dance of army and naval officers in full army
dress was large. Very many members of Con?
gress and Senators weri present. (Did not see
Elliott and lady.) Music for the dancing was
furnished by the West Point, Naval and Ma?
rine Bands, stationed in different parts of the
hall. Whilethe elite were feasting and dancing,
the still lingering crowd were entertained in
front of the Treasury Building by the firing of
cannon and explosion of magnificent fireworks
nntil a late hour in the night. Being now fa?
tigued with the proceedings, we took our de?
parture for the Monumental City.

For the Andcrwn Intelligencer.
The Teeth-No. 2.
The second or permanent teeth are thirty
two in number, including twelve not found in
the temporary set, the six year molars consti?
tuting a part of this set. The period at which
they appear cannot be definitely stated, but the
following table will give the average time and
order of their eruption: #
First molars.5 to 6 years.
Central Incisors. 6 to 8 "
Lateral ".7 to 9
First bicuspids. 9 to 10 "
Second tf .10 to 11 "
Canines...11 to 12 M
Second molars.,.12 to 14 "
Wisdom teeth.17 to 21 "
It must be remembered that the eruption of
the second teeth begins while the first set is yet
in the mouth. If the child has never had any
teeth extracted, these t eeth are supposed by the
parents to belong to ths first set; and so, if de?
cayed shortly after the?r eruption, no attention
is paid to them, because it is thought they will
soon have to make room for their successors,
and before the mistake is discovered, the mis?
chief is irreparable.
Usually between the seventeenth and twen?
ty-first year the third molars, or wisdom teeth,
are erupted. There is generally but little in?
convenience attending their appearance, but
occasionally, when the jaws are crowded and
there is not sufficient i oom for them, there is
considerable swelling and pain, and sometimes
sore throat, difficulty o? swallowing and severe
constitutional disturbance. Under these cir?
cumstances, lancing the gums and constitution?
al treatment may be necessary, and in extreme
cases, even the extraction of the tooth.
The deposit, called tarter, which collects
more or less about the teeth of all persons,
differs very much in appearance, quantity and
character. In different individuals, it is black,
brorrn, green, yellow, or nearly white. Its
presence is more or les s hurtful, according to
its character and quantity. In some cases itti
influence is exceeding pernicious, causing the
gums to become swollen, inflamed and spongy;
suppuration occurring about their margins,
followed by their recession from the necks of
the teeth. The gums become so sensitive that
the use of a tooth-brush is exceeding painful,
and on this account there is no effort made to
keep the mouth clean. The tarter accumulates
rapidly, and the result: s the destruction, more
or less speedily, of the alveolar processes, and
the loosening of the teeth until they drop out.
These, however, are not the only results: the
breath becomes feted, the secretions of the
mouth are vitiated; indigestion, loss of appe?
tite, affect ions of the eyes, pains in the ears,
headache, neuralgia, and general derangement
of the health lollow. That derangement of the
digestive functions, and consequent impairment
of the whole economy, may result from a dis?
eased condition of the mouth, is too well estab?
lished to require an argument. The presence
of decayed teeth and roots, ulcerated or suppu?
rating gums, accumulations of tarter, etc., must
necessurily vitiate the secretions of the mouth,
and cause irritation, me re or less severe, of the
mucous membranes of -.he stomach. The ex?
halations from a mouth so diseased may, and
no doubt often do, produce an injurious effect
upon the bronchial tul es and lungs, and may
even be the exciting cause of consumption.
These being facts, it is wonderful that so
many otherwise intelligent people neglect their
teeth, paying no attention to the condition of
them, until an exposed nerve speaks with a
voice that will not be silenced, announcing the
mischief which has teen allowed to proceed
unchecked. If, then, we add the probable
preservation and usefulness of the teeth' for
speech and raastieatioa till advanced life, the
favorable impression made upon the general
health by the ability thoroughly to masticate
the food, the comfort of a pure breath and
wholesome saliva, and the agreeable effect pro?
duced upon others by the exhibition of a clean
and healthy mouth, surely we have enumerated
euough reasons to induce all to pay that atten?
tion to them, upon which their appearance,
preservation and usefulness depend.

? Charles Edgar Perkinson, better known
in the South as "St. Maur," died in Buffalo,
N. Y., on the 19th of February, in the 28th
year of his age. St. Maur was a native of Peters?
burg, Va., and was respectably connected. He
died of consumption.
? Trains are now running upon the Air
Line Railroad from Charlotte to thirteen miles
West of Spartanburg. The road is nearly all
graded, and as soon as the bridges can be built
the track will be laid from several points at
the same time, viz: From Spartanburg West;
from Greenville East and West; from the Blue
Ridge Railroad East and West, and from
Gainesville, Ga., this way. It is expected that
the road will be completed in June.
? The report of the Stale Treasurer of Mis?
sissippi, recently published, shows that the
expenses of the State Government for the past
year were, in round numbers, one million three
hundred and sixty-five thousand dollars, which
is nearly a million of dollars in excess of the
disbursement before the war, when the proper?
ty basis of the State was four times what it
now is; that the taxes are largely in excess of
former years?and thai the condition of her
finances is growing from bad to worse.
? At the request of the Chief Signal Officer
of the Army, Prof. Tyndall, now in Europe,
has consented to superintend the device and
constructiou of au electrical instrument, to be
used at the signal stations of the army, for the
making'of regular and simultaneous observa?
tions of the electrical conditions of the atmos?
phere. It is hoped, from the immense rapidity
with which electric changes manifest them?
selves, a system of electric observation of
approaching storms, far in advance of any
hitherto had, may be established. 1

Washington News and Gossip.
Washington, March 9.
It is supposed that the debate on tbe.Cald
well case will continue two or three days, as
four or five Senators are prepared to make
speeches. The debate will be under the man?
agement of Senators Morton and Sherman, of
the Committee on Privileges and Elections.
This is different from any other case of dispu?
ted election ever considered or determined by
either house of Congress. There are no pre?
cedents in American parliamentary law in
relation to the buying out of an opposing can?
didate and his followers to secure an election
to Congress, and, therefore, this case attracts
much interest, particularly among the political
lawyers.
Not only are there many personal applica?
tions made for offices, but numerous letters are
received daily by the President and the several
beads of departments. The mail brought more
than 100 letters to Secretary Fish. It is known
from official sources that there will be compar?
atively few changes, and these for satisfactory
reasons to the appointing power. Most of the
time of the President, during last week, was
occupied in responding to congratulations of a
large number of visitors attending the inaugu?
ral.
Minister Meyer will soon leave Washington
for Japan, but will return in the fall.
It is held by the Post Office Department,
that the recent decision of the Attorney Gen?
eral, that double postage should not be collected
at the office of delivery on the unpaid postage
of letters partly prepaid by at least the full
rate, does not apply to mailablc matter of the
third class, viz: Pamphlets of occasional pub?
lication, magazines, unsealed circulars, book
manuscripts, &c.
Washington, March 10.
The Supreme Court, to-day, in Humphrey,
et al., vs. Pegues, from the Circuit Court of
South Carolina, decided that the Cheraw and
Darlington Railroad Company, in South Caro?
lina, is, by the laws of the State, exempt from
taxation; and that the law of 1868, enacted to
repeal this exemption, is void. The Court say
it is too late to raise the question whether a
State has the power to bind itself against im?
posing taxes, for it has been held in this Court
that a State has the power to bind itself in re?
linquishing the taxiug power, and such a pro?
vision of exemption is a contract which the
State may not subsequently impair. The cases
involving same priuciple were decided in favor
of anti-tax.
The diplomatic corps, in full court costume,
called on the President to-day, to congratulate
him on his inauguration. Many of them were
accompanied by the ladies of their families.
Several ladies of the Cabinet officers' housholds
were present, and nearly all the members of
the Cabinet were in attendance.
The Republicans met in caucus, after the
adjournment of the Senate, this afternoon, to
consider the demand of the Democrats for in?
creased minority representation on the commit?
tees, and after some discussion, the matter was
referred to a sub-committee of five, for a report
at an adjourned meeting to-morrow. The sub?
committee consists of Stewart, Conkling, Scott,
Wright and West. The caucus reconsidered
Saturday's vote, regarding the case of Patter?
son, and decided not to take it up for consider?
ation in the Senate?no action being possible,
for the reason that Patterson is no longer a
member of the party.
General Dent, for the past four years in
charge of the reception room at the White
House, has been ordered to his regiment. W.
H. Crook succeeds Dent.
In the Senate, CaldwelPs case was discussed,
but no action had.
? The Abbeville Press and Banner says :
"Judge Cooke and the people of Abbeville seem
to have been mutually pleased with each other.
The Judge expresses himself as highly gratified
with his reception here, and he was certainly
the recipient of hospitalities from our citizens
which arc not often extended to strangere. He
has impressed himself upon our community as
a courteous and affable gentleman, as well as a
faithful aud efficient officer, and we hope that
a better acquaintance will strengthen the sen?
timents of mutual regard and esteem."

? The example of France and Spain is be?
coming contagious. The question of a federa?

most sensible form of government.

NAPOLEON XXTTT.
Sensible to the Last.
A colored gentleman calling himself NAro
leon 23rd, alias N. B. Gaillard, called at the
"Little Man's" Store, a short time ago, to make
inquiry about the "Stolen Hat," and wanted to
know what Nigger stole it; and upon being
informed, and receiving an introduction to
"Huhbard's Nigger," immediately proposed
? trade for the Hat. The Nigger offered the
Hat for one dollar, as it cost him nothing; and
without a half dozen words Napoleon took the
Hat on credit, and thought he was better ofF
than the "Nigger," for he got it honestly, and
the Nigger stole it The truth is, Hubbard is
a little afraid that his Nigger will sell all hia
Hats, as he don't care what they cost Hcbbard.
He thinks it right to sell at some price. .
Napoleon was so well pleased, he bought
something else, and that seems to be the way
they are all doing.
