We had the plea sure of participating with Recall Division, No. 57, Sons of Temperance, at their celebration on Thursday Inst. This Division it one of the six Divisions in tiiis District, and U located at Fountain Inn. Its meetings arc held at the residence of Col. Wm. McNrkly. Although the day was rainy, nnd exceedingly unpleasant, we were gratified to find many persons in attendance, inelnding a goodly number of ladies. Go where we n?ny, In any portion of the District or country, and we find woman ardei.t ly attached to the cause of temperance. She animates the friends of the cans* by her presence, and cheers them by approving smiles nnd words. No matter if it docs rain, or if the ronds he muddyr or the day cold, she is sure to attend the meetings iu behalf of temperance. It is the wives, and mothers, and sisters, who suffer most from the evils of intemperance, rather than the poor inebriate, and may Heaven send it# richest, blessings upon her prayers and lalairs. So long ns woman continues the ardent, nnd hopeful advocate of cold water, its friend* have reason to conthme, with unnlmted seal, to labor in its behaK Notwithstanding it Jinrl heen ruining ?" the morning, and th? elnndii continued to have every appearance of rain, the S^nnof Temperance, comprising the members of Uecab Division nnd dele gales from Eiioree, Enterprise mid Antioeh Di* visions?headed by the daughters of Temp? runce ? formed procession, under the eonnnnnd of Mr. Tiwu \s W.

Hte straight forward earneetccss cannot fail to bring converts to the fold. At Uio close of Mr. br* wart's speech the crowd wore addressed by Dr. W. L. M.

The name* of several gentlemen were procured as memtwrs of the Division, and also the nnnics of several ladies ns Daughters of Temperance.-?

It Is our sincere opinion that there is a growing din|M?sition on the part.of our people to ro gard the efforts of temporanoe men more favorably than heretofore. This has not been the result of speeches by distinguished advocates, but of the stondy and upward growth of tein|>er*nce principles. Long niny it continue to be the case. " * Corn Boor.

Its progress has been rapid in the last twenty years. It is the great centre of the tobacco trade of the United States. It. has the largest flouring mill perhaps in the world. It has long been famous for its mills, and has now manufactories of various kinds, not the least is the Iron business. Hie .lames River affords wi tor power almost unlimited. It still tlows in its beauty and .grandeur as in tbc days of l'ocaliontas; its "fulls, dotted with beautiful islands, their "bright creation," still unsoiledby the hands of men. Richmond is a beautiful city. The famous Shocoo Hill is covered with streets and beautiful houses, and its Main Street, on the slope near tbc river, lias magnificent i-tore*, hotels and banking bouses. It abounds !u fine chnrcli buildings. The Raptistinterest, I i believe, is predominant in the city. The cnpitol j y.Muiro is on uneven ground, beautifully laid out in | I tre.'? grass. In the controls the Stale House, j n bullt'o^ constrnetcd in ?I?e latter part ?>f the Inst centntj , ,'ftera model furnished by Jefferson| It is not n very elegant building, compared ' with ninny other c.' 'tols, bnt is good enough, ! sml much better befUtiuJ republican chnrneter of the State than the million State House in the course of construe *?n *n South Carolina, which, when hnilt, I bogle..'*** 8nywill be one of the most massive and complete monuments of State folly and extravagance 'n the United States, perhaps in the world, demand- i ing, for all time to come, a burdensome tnxntion to pay the annual Interest on its costs. Just ' think of it! One linlf our State taxes are to be j taken every year to pay interest on the huge I pile of granite in Columbia, for a house for our I extravagant members to occupy three weeks in the year! That building ought to be stopped in its progress, till times hereafter afford means for its gradual finish. The burden should not all be thrown on this generation. The people should sustain no man who goes for npplyiug any more ' money to that object at this time. The mate- ; j rials are not perishable, nnd can wait forty years j , to oe nmsneu. The famous Iloudon Statue of Washington, I made nndef the direction of the Virginia nssem- . j bly in 1788, when the hero vmi 6f? year* old, ; j stands in the Center of the State Ilonse, surround- | | ed by an iron palisade elevated on a pede?tnl 6 j or 8 feet. high. It is the only just representation ' I of the figure and face of Washington to he seen, I | except its eopy in the old Hall of Representative;" ' i at Washington City. The pictures and engrav j j ings tlnit.,we commonly see of Washington, utter- i I ly fail to give the fine expression of his features, ! | especially 'about the mouth. His statue, wlileh is ; an exact mould of firs person, taken after the j ! old method, shows him to be the truly majestic . I and noble specimen of form and feature, unsnf- J | passed, perhaps unrivalled, hy mortal man, in : ! expressing trne greatness, force and dignity of I clinraeter. On beholding hisfaciiinile in marble, I one does not wonder at the sajing. handed | down to us, that no man could approach Wash{ iegton with levity and familiarity, and that Ids pres<*nee always inspired an awe and respect incompatible with such irreverent feelings. Lord Byron's description of the Apollo Belvidere, with the change of a word, would apply to the statue of Washington; not "beautiful disdain," but beautiful seiwn'Vy, majesty and might, flash their full lighting* " from his countenance. In one of the nigt)*s stands a fine bust of Lafayette, expressive of his benevolent and enthusiastie character, hut it it the- face and head of a crri-al follower, but not the leader of a revolution and founder of an empire like thnt of Washington. Virginia has been slow to ornament her eapitol with the busts and paintings of her great men. The other niches are unoeenpied still. In the State library, there iej9.fne picture of John Randolph. and an indifferent one of Judge Marshal. A superior portrait of him may be neen in the city hall. There i? a magnificent brontts crjuestrian statue of Washington in the capitol sqtmre. It is colossal, and has a grand and impoaing effect. On the )>aae of the pillow on which thin atatuc la elevated, ore two fine etntnes, one of Jefferaon, the other of Patrick Ilenry. Both said to l?e .very good likciieeeea Jeffeison would be readh 1y rocffgoiaed by the travelers from iu resemblance to the numerous representation* of him to be ?e -n in books and prints.

J ' M 1*; But now, Richmond, with its numerous and nitmentioned attraction^ its enliglitoncd, social, hospitable nn.l liberal citizens, must be hastily left. On Wednesday morning. May 1JA, the great tuas? of delegate* to the Convention departed, the majority to tholr hom?v a few only extending their tMvrl further North, inyeclf, with souie Greenville friend* among them. Wo left Richmond about six in the morning, taking the railroad for A-pita Creek on the Potomac River. "The slashes of llaoover," as fur a* we eutita see on the rattroad, are not very fertile.----The country is very level, and affords one in stance ofngreat man, who liod a good deal of poetry lnhls eloquence, arising from a dead level. We nasMd bv lTp<wtBi-!/<i?Kn?? Rhnppahnmuick, both associated with th? histo ry of Washington and his family. W? were scon on ihe broad bosom of old Potomac, with ita historic memories too numerous to recur to. The day was not favorable to dreams of the post, we gloomy, rainy sky and chill Northeaster blow ing in our face* ami curling the river into mimic ocean waves, "feelingly by pervunded us" of the present, and M of whnt we were." We passed by Mount Vernon without the usual ringing of the stcombout bell. The passengers being at dinner, all to whom Mount Vernon was n new sight, vent out and look n look at the house peering through the trees on the distant bank of the river. We reached Washington about 2 o'clock. The approach to the city is magnificent. The capitol, in its vast proportions aud unfinished dome, i* conspicuous for many miles before reaching the city. The unfinished monument to Wash ingtiin, 170 feet, high, also stands apart and distinct us one of the first objects catching the view as you approach. There has been a cessation of work on this inoiftltnent,, but it is soon to be resumed and earried up to 600 feet, according to the plan. It. will be a sublime structure when finished, and contain blocks of stone and marble from every Stutc in America, and from several foreign States, besides blocks contributed by numerous societies, institutions?literary, benevolent and mechanical?most beautifully sculptured and lettered, according to the devices of the countries and societies contributing them. Some of the blocks are from nnciont temples nud ruins of the old world, thus typifying the fact ll.nf nil n..,l ?-s ' * ? miu rrgi<iui ur uiv enmi snail Honor the name of Washington. The enpitol, with its new extension, when completed, will be, perhaps, the finest building in the world. The hnll of the Senate and of the llouae of Itopresontatives arc both complete, and many of the committee and other rooms and passages. It seemed to nic nothing in the way of nrehiteetuml richness, elcgnuce and beauty can exceed the inner glories of the building, glittering in the eye and imagination like n vision of Solomon's temple, as beautiful as marble ami beaten gold nnd fresco painting can make it. The capital, I was told hy on intelligent friend resident at Washington, occupies about five acres of ground. Whilst looking through a main p-issiige in the building, lie remarked that it was seven hundred feet long. The building is com.It ? r on.- ?- - - j i'iuoi. mr rnircrs nrc or iron, ami tlie floors and the stairways of marble, richly variegated; lint no verbal description is sufficient for such tilings, and 1 will not attempt it. The walk", trees, grass and fountains of the enpitol Si]nare, at Washington, arc delightful. The lamented Downing had something to do in their arrangement, as well as in laying out the grounds of the Smithsonian Institute. A neai little monument is erected to him in pnrt of the College building. There nrc some fine paintings in the old hull of the enpitol of Gen. Washington and others. That of lite signer* of ;'u? Declartion of Independence is also here, prim, ii.'uiatures of wliieli are familiar. A fine bust of kvsi *usko stands by the copy of Houdon's Statue of Washington. Ilere is also to be seen n (minting intci.^ represent the baptism of Pocahontas. 1?.- ?*?inling being desigae<l to be national, 1 suppose, iWc all alliances of religions matters with the State, is a corruption and compromise of truth.

The day after our arrival, we had the pleasure of mnking a call on Gen. Cass, Secretary of State, at his office, and also on President Buchanan, at tliu White House. Gen. Cass received a? as he does all visitors, witli great courtesy; and being in hi* office alone, we were gratified with a brief and interesting conversation with thin dirtin guUliod Statesman. Tho European war had not tiion broken out. lie ?*id he looked its occurrence as inevitable. He gave us some reininnccnccs of Wnshington City. He had seen it fifty years ago, and was, when a boy, about ten years previous { ' that time, n traveler in the neighborhood, bvfo. o the birth of the city.? Ovneral Chm whs born )D the year )1H. In unswer to an inquiry of one ot our number,' he stated llint he iiud seen Oen. Washington, when on a tour in New England. He was a t?cre ehrht, however, Out renicinhers tlie appearance of (Jen.

(Jen. h one of the very few great meu left in the United Htutes, who were Itorn nl>out the close of the Revolutionary War, and who, in respect to time and virtues, formed connecting links with the race of lieriK'i* ami Statesmen of lliat epoch. Calhoun, Webster and Van Iiurcn were horn in llie same year with him. Can. Co*?, like Cccsar, unites the character of the soldier, orator, scholar and Slatesutun. Whilst Calhoun and others maintained .the war measures of 1&12 in Congress, he fought its buttles in the field, and siuce, in the days of the Senate's greatest renown, when Calhoun, and Webster, aud Clay, Wright and lien ton, and other intellectual elephants tilled that arena, he was classed among them, ami was, hy no means, the least of that class.

These, Indeed, are so ladK?p?*s?bir among the elemenia of the well.bred lady not only an her own aoeount, but also by reason of their extcrnel influence?that too fnuch attention cannot be paid to them. H These remarks have bos* suggested by the writer s observation# for several months in South Carolina, where, be it pleased to say, be has noticed* more general attention to thteal liUU poiuU, than he has observed elsewhere. It would seem, that, in South Carolina, these nj>nciidazesliave roallv become an M Institution." and tho writer lms dwelt with so much pleasure, upou the fact, tliat St hu insensibly led him into tho following speculation: In tracing the power of example in nil matter* pertaining to ha hit* of personal tidiness, It i* not difficult to imagine tlint the moral character Is often much infiuenc ed by it. Thi* might be deduced from otir own pereonnt feeling* of uneasiness when thrown into the company of other* who arc remarkably nice in their habits, if we ourselves he not equally so. Wo habitually and Instinctively associate in our mind*, a degree of refinement in the feefings and moral perceptions corresponding with the external appearance of the individual in thi* particular; and, although we may occasionally err in our judgments upon such occasions, we still have till* advantage, that our respect Is always engaged on the right tide, and our good nature improved by dwelling npon the evidence, though the faet may not in nil cases be proved by it. But so convinced is the writer of the moral and intellectual advantages of attention to the teeth and nails by both sexes, that he will venture to suggest that this form a stipulation in all marriage contract*, to he stated thus : " And we. the contracting turtles, do further mutually covenant, promise and agree, to and with each other, in consideration of the premises aforesaid, Ac., Ac.," (the lawyers will supply the rest,) and he will venture to nffirin that this contract, if properly enforced, will greatly magnify connubial felicity. It vonjj correct ninny linbits of the men that are calculated trt tarnish the tectb and impair the breath, and in some parts of our country, at least, would convince the ladies that no female complexion can be improved, nor her teeth much more engaging, nor her ambrosial breath more aromatic, by chewing tobacco, nor hy filling lite mouth with snuff, and stirring it about with a stick. At any rate, as every valid contract must have its inducement or " quod mm* not quid come. me anjurnuon oi I lie use ol tobacco on both sides would supply * sound bnsis for (he gcnerul engagement# of the parties above referred to. KAPPA. BV RKQl*E#T. Prof. Blaokie's Opinion of Modern Greek The discussion of the question as to the tdeuti ty of the ancient and modern Creek in this country, has called forth a letter on (Ids subject from the distinguished Professor of Greek, in the Kdinburgti University, John Stuart Blackte.? "This gentleman," says the Boston Courier, "is known to the literary world by his vaiious and learned contribution# to the leading periodical# of Orent Britain, and by hi# admirable translation of vEschylus into rlnglish verse, lie is a man whose opinion is one of th? highest author, ilie# on any matter pertaining to lihcrul education. He is a poet and prose writer of great elegance, and we may add, In referenoc to the par ticubir subject now in hand, he lias visited Orceee, and has personal knowledge of the benefits to be derived from an acquaintai.ee with the living tongue of the Hellenic people." Prof. Btnckie, in his answer to the question, " whether modern Creek ought not to receive some special patronage and distinct recognition from the British Univer#ity," says: "We have no longer tho old objection to con tend with. the modern Greek is a new language ?not Greek at all, in fart, any more than Italian, French, Portuguese and Spanish are Latin. Thia objection, raised by pedantry and supported by ignorance, can no longer be brought forward with any plausibility. now that Trieonpi'a Claaaica) History of the <>reek Revolution, com posed in the living language of the Greeks, has been for several years before the British public." Among the reasons urged by Prof. Blackie for th? t^ndy of the modern Greek, are the following, w?'t<,h ^cnr directly upon the question of Bildicnl tra^elt-'to "rquainilng themselves with tha language oi" th" New Teutnmcut as it is now spoken. 8. Specially, it introdini?* tba student of christian theology, hy the most natural and easy door, into the lire and spirit of the Orei?r chnrch, which hangs together by the closest lionds with the early Christ ian cliureh; (all Cbrtetu n churches, in fact, were originally Greek;) and brings the modern Protestant into a sympathetic connection with the most important theology of the ante Lutheran ages of Christianity. 7. Hut the grand argument in furor of the study of modern Greek, aud which ought U> be alike irresistible n clerical Oxford and in religious Kdinburgh, is, that thu peculiar variety of Hellenic epeech it the true and most direct key to I the peculiarity? of the A'iw Tretatnenl dialect.? j That our theologians are not fullv or at all tv>? | of this fact, 1 nuii>t in charby suppose; otherwise I their neglect of the living Greek dialect is not excisable. For mys?lf, I can only state it us a mutter of feet, that it was occupation with modern Greek urwspnpcra, liturgies and sermons, that first opened mv eyes to the peculiar character of the New Testament style ; and/ attribute any accurate kuoteiedge i'tal / have of the phiMot/y of the Hatred volume, to toy rjtee'al etudy oj fotiern Greek, and to no other eauee. A he New Testament language is modern Greek ir. th l>ud ; the modern Greek is the style of the New Testament in blossom." This indorsement, from such authority, of the wisdom of the Bible Union in sendiug I'rof. lluckett to Greece, will be gratifying to the friends of revision.??V. Y. Chrietain Obeereer.
