One of the mutt striking cawk of presence of mind nltd self- possession of which ?? have atiy recollection, came to light on a trial which look place some yearn since in Ireland. The story looks like a Action, font we have reason to believe it quite true. A woman traveling along a road, to join her busbind; Win) whs a soldier, and quartered at Alhlone, was joined by a pedlar, who was gpti*g the Miiiie way. T'.ep entered into conversation during a walk of aonte hour* ; fcut aa the day i*egan to wane, they agreed "that they should atop for the night at a house of entertainment, ami pursue their pediatrian journey the next day. The reached an hum. oie inn, situated in a lonely spot by tbo road Me, and fatigued after a long daj'*s walkMkey were glad to Ami themselves under the t shelter of a roof. Ilaving refieshed them . selves with the substantial supper set before them, tbey ciproceed with to retire. They were shown into (he traveler's room, and t? rest in their respective beds, a ' Pedter before retiring bad called the Jaatlord aside and given into his keeping the pack, which b? had unstrapped from his back till the morning, telling him that it cotiifjned a considerable sum of money and rotieh valuable property. They were not long in bed before the pedlar fell'into a sound sleep; but the uuor woman, perhaps from E^^ened^rtth"l i i? hand*1 as? y sue loataiuiy rccogniitd in him one of the youngest men she had seer below?eon to the landlord. He advanced with stealthy step to the bedside of the pedlar, and watched him for a few seconds. He then went out, and entered, again with bis brother and his father, who held in bi* hand a large pewter basin. They went on tiptoe to the bedMile, a here the pedlar lay in a deep sleep. One of the }'oung men drew out n knife, and while the father held the basin so as to re ceivc the blood, he cut the poor victim's throat from ear to ear. A slight, half audible groan, and nil was still, save the cautious movements of the party engaged in the fatal deed. They brought in with them a large ' sac!' into which they quickly thrust the un I lesisting IkhIv. The poor woman lay silent- < Iv in her bed, fearing that her turn would come next. She heard low muttering among < the men from which "he soon gathered that i tiny were debating whether they should murder her tim1 ...J - ?

One of thein said that be was mire that she was fust asleep, and that there wan no occasion to trouble themselves more; but to make sure of thi* being the case one came to the bedside with the candle in hi* hand, and the other with a knife. She kept her i*}es closed as if a sleep, and had such complete con tnnnd over herself as not to betray in her countenance any sign that she was conscious of what was going on. The candle was passed close to her eyes; the knife drawn aeioss close to her throat, she never winked nor showed by any movement of featuten or of limb, thnt she apprehended danger. So tho men wbispeied tliat she was soundly asleep?that nothing wa6 to be feared from her, and they went out of the room, removing the seek which contained tho body ?>f the murdered man. How long must ihat night of horror have seemed to the |xx>r lone woman?how frightful wan its stillness ami da:kness. The prei-enee of mind which had so astonishingly enabled her to act n part to which she owed her life, sustained her through all the trying scenes whieh she had yet to pass. She did not hurry front her room at an unseasona bie hour, but waited until she heaid all the family astir for some time, she then went down, ami said she believed she had overslept herself in cou<equ*tic? c! being greatly tired, i? Miq nsfcvd where the pedlar was, and wm j t<?ld that he was in too great n hurry to wait I for her, but that he had left a sixpence to pay ( for her breakfast. c Shu snt down composedly to that meal, * and fore oil herself to partake with aptmrent s appetite of the food net before her. She appealed unconscious of the eyes which, with I deep scrutiny, were fixed upon her. When I the meal wn? over, site took leave of the fam- * ily, and went on her way without the least s n]>jK?aranee of discomposure or mistrust. She I had proceeded but a snort way when she was i joined by two strapping looking women. I One looli wa* sufficient to convince her that I they were the two young men, and one I thought assured her that she their power, and on' the very verge of dent met ion. They walked by her hide, entered in con vernation, naked her where nho was going, and told her that their road lay the mine way ; they questioned Iter as to where ahe had lodged the night before, and made most f minute tiKpiiiie* about the family inhabiting 1 the house of eiitninim-nt. Her answer* were x quite unembarrassed, ar.d ahe said the |teoplo c of the hou.se had appeared to be decent and civil, and had treated her very well, for ' two hour* the young men continued l>y Iter aide, conversing with Iter,and watching with 1 the moat scrutinizing glance* any change in * her countenance, and n?king questions w hich. ' had she not been fully self-possessed, might t have put Iter off her guard. It waa not till !

Ilia father and mother, who wete quite old, were too tuuch wedded to the land of their birth to leave it for one wliere they must, for * time at leaat, be strangers, and chose to remain, that the turf of their native land might be spread above them when the vital spark had fled. Aa a last comfort to the Uocliuing grand parents, it was agreed to leave with them the oldest child, a boy some ten years of age. This arrangement made* the rest of the family emhaiked, and were soon upon the soil of Ameiiea.

How their wealth was accumulated no one cared to ask; they were wealthy, that was enough ; and ^ although a mystery hung over them, it detcrred no one from their company. The jt father was never found at homo during the day, and the wife, when he had gone, teem w i-d troubled, ami was suro to give some c Evasive answer, and then abruptly change j, the topic of conversation.

I fiii)irrnntt Slbbrrsa. i To the People of South Carolina. Fellow Citizens : ?Fourteen years have conio and gone since, as the organ of the . State Temperance Society, 1 addressed you I ??n the great question of Total Abstinence j f 0111 nil which can 'intoxicate!' In that ' lime what changer, have, taken place! The Washington Reform and Moral Suasion : were theories which grew louder and loud! er, in every temperances circle. They were | things of but a day?the Washington lteI form perished ; Moral Suasion has been renI do.red almost powerless by the fact that those who most need suasion, th? mann/ucturers and vendors of intoxicating drink, w ill not listen, and, like Demetrius, the silveismith, they cry out against the followers oftemjier ancc, as lie did against Paul at EphesUs. saying, "Sirs, ye know that bv this crafj (the making or celling of intoxicaliugdriiik) "wc have our wealth.*' "Moreover, ye see and hear not only* here, "but almost through all America the men Cary, White, and others have "turned turned away much people," saying, that there should be no in ! utxicmtng unitK "made with hands." and that none should be wold or drunk, "no (hal not only this one craft in in danger to be set at nntight," but also that the "great tem| lo" of temperate drinking "should be despised, ami her in-tgniticence should be den iroyed whom all" America "and the world worshipped!." This persecuting cry here, as in Ephesus. has filled the people with wrath, nml they are made to cry out "great is the makiny ar.d selling of intoxicating drink f and they are ready, if not Lo lay their hands on the devoted Reason era of Temj>erance, Moral Suasioniata you may call them, nt least to circulate all falsehoods of and concerning (Item, as for instance of Cary, when he wh? reja?sing from liis labors in the bosom of blown family at College (I ill, Ohio, uthnt he had been adzed in Alabama, and incarcerated aa an Abolitionistor of White, while he was rou.-iug the people more and nv?re to temperance, that lie was given over to intoxicating drink.

Uncollect, n.ends, iisst the State Tem pennies Society whh first organized in 1S29. that at it!* head sat the noble, venerable, and revolutionary form of the patriarch ofColnnt hia, Col. Thomas Taylor, lie and his society have long since passed away. But does not his pure and child-like spirit, abide in Aotne. part of Columbia? lias hia mantle descended from the chariot of fire, upon no inhabitant of hia own town. In 1838, a new State Temperance Society was organised, and Chancellor Job Johnson was piaoed at its head. In 1841, the undersigned was called to the Presidency, wl ich he ha* ever since occupied. In 1842, *3,'4.'6, *0, '7, '8, *9, V>0 and *61, it canied the banner of temperance, total alattinenec, all over ' 'the State.* Why did it cease to do so in ' *52, '63, '54 '551 For two reasons: 1st, the people bocame weary in well doing; the total abstinence organisations generally per i iahed from tire want of attention. A few glo i rious exceptions such as the ilead Spring S?> i ciety, Newberry District, sod the Chsrleston Mariner's Washingtooisn Total Abstinence Society remained. 2<1,otherorganizations,the Sons of Temperance and Reca bites, it was supjiosed might supply the place of the State Teinperunce Society, and its subordinate Total Abstinence Societies. But in vain : their work, noble and useful as it is. could not and did not meet al! vl.v*ca of men, women and children. Iience it became necessary to organize the Stalo Temperance Society. This was done on tlie 6tli and 7ih of August, inst., at Greenville; and now brethren and friends, people of South Carolina, we claim I your aid to give the State Temperance Society its (or utvr prominence and uw/tUrteit by concerted action on your part. This presents our second hend. Td you, therefore, we say let there be no divi?ion among temperance people. Every order and organization are respectively entitled to be represented by sending up delegates (as many as you please.) to the next meeting of the State Tein|>eraiioe Soeiely, m Columbia, on the Tuesday after the fourth Monday in November next.

Have you forgotten how nobly it sustained the temperance cause against all comers and goers? It shed light in every daik spot in South Carolina. Even the Ibiar Patch, where one of the young men of the Theological Seuiibary was threatened to be rode on n rail for soliciting subscriptions, received its light, ; and organized a Total Abstinence Society.

I.Hr we not need a temperance family newspa j?er ? What are two dollars per annum in comparison with it? My friend Andrew Wallace, of Columbia, used to tell me that the Temperance Advocate on the day of its is-ue was that first called for by qpch of his children. We want just such a paper now. Our families, wives and children are no poh itician?; they earc precious little about the fiery articles, wherewith our papers abound ; but they care and feel foi that which is tomake them happy here, which is to dry up the fountains of intoxicating drink. They are stretching out their hands for a Temperance Family Newspaper, to bo full of Temperance, Knowledge, Science, Art, History^ past and present. Moral Tales, Religion, and News. Such a paper sustained by one editor at Columbia, and a corresponding editor in every District, city, town and village, will be the organ of every order anil association of Temperance, and will also be emphatically the People's Organ/ Who will sulwcribe for such a pa|>er * Let every friend of Ternirerance, every Son, every Cadet, and every Itecabitc answer the question by taking np' stibscrip'ions and sending the result to the undersigned.

At present, we n*k from wise, virtu-* ous, and patriotic Legislators a law which shall prohibit by the severest sanctions "Me manufacture or sale of intoxicating drink, to be drunk at the place iohcre made or sold." This, it seems, cannot l?e consistently denied. The law now permits a distiller to sell without a license spirituous liquors manufactured from the growth, or product, of his own plantation, in quantities of and above a quart, provided it l?e carried away from the same plantation ; and the 11th sec*' lion of the Act of '49, directs that under a license to sell by the quail, liquors cannot bo drunk nt the place where sold. Wo ask this principle to l?e carried out.? At present, we ask no more! Before its effect* will fall all distilleries, grog-shops, and taverns; and then to all South Carolina, "softer and in her right mind" wo will say, prohibit the manufacture, and sale of in toxica ting drink, except for mechanical and medicine' purjtoses."
