TIB The matter Discussed in all its Bear Inffu, and its moral, Social, and B ligious Status Considered. TnE Observer has beenasked by several of its friends and patrons to copy the following, taken from the New York Journal of Commerce, in reply to a letter written from Thomasville; N, C. Here it is : Thomasville, 5. C, May 7, 1881. Editor of the Journal of Commerce: Thfl T.pcialature of North Carolina at its late session passed a bill to prohibit the manufacture and sale of spirituous limmrs. which ia to be submitted to the people on the 5th of August next for their ratification or rejection. Now I wish your opinion on the following Pinv'ould it insure to the benefit of a State situated as North Carolina is, either financially, morally or religious ly, while adjoining States are untram- meiied, to nave a prouiunui v iw i 2. Which does the greater evil to our common country, financially, morally, or physically, tobacco or spirituous liquors? x . . 3. Does not the temperate use of spir its promote longevity ? 4. What States have had or now have a prohibitory liq uor law ? Anti-Fanaticism. Reply I. We have often given our opinion as to the effect of such sumptu ary laws. If the cause of temperance was tnereoy promoieu, uu wuum re main the serious question whether such an abridgment of the liberties of the people, if thoroughly enforced, would not endanger more vital interests than the law is intended to conserve. But a a a m attar nf fant. and in spite of the public statements of the orators of that school, the prohibitory law has never in an v statu promoted the cause of torn nv ran P.ft. 2. The immoderate use of intoxicat ing drinks does far more evil we think than thP.nsfiof tobacco: but the diffi The "Hub Pnnch " has Utely been introduced, and meets with marked popular favor. It is Warranted to Contain only the " Best of Liquors, United with Choice Fruit Juiees and Granulated Sugar.

Willis, from Mrs. M. A. Washington, of Ma con, Ga the daughter of Col. Ham mond : On the evening of the 16th of Janua ry, 1781, uen. morgan issued orders to lave twenty-iour rounds or Dans pre pared and ready for use. A general or der, forming the disposition of the troops, had also been prepared and was read to cois. Jt'iCKens and Mccan, Maj. Jackson and the author of these notes, in the course of the evening. No copy was ever aiiorded to eitner of tnese officers, but the author,, in the course of the same evening, made tne following notes upon them, then fresh in his memory, rne order commenced in substance thus: "A a the enemy seemed resolved to force us into action, the numbers and spirit of this little band of patriot sol diers seem to j usury tne uenerai in ine belief that they may be met with confi dence, defeated and driven back. To prepare for which, the- ioiiowing order will be observed: xne ironc line win do composed of that part of Col. McCall's . . . . . . regiment of South Carolina state troops who have not been equipped as. dra goons, under the command oi maj. Hammond; the Georgia volunteers, commanded by Lient, Col. Cunning ham, and the jNorth Carolina volun teers, under the command of Maj.. Mc Dowell. Col. Cunningham win taise part on the right, Maj. McDowell on the lett of the line, souinwesi or me road, upon the rising ground beyond the valley in front, three hundred and fiftv yards in rear or this cantonment or camp, with the left resting upon the road. Maj. Hammond win tane parr, on the left by Capt. Dendy, of the the Georgia refugees. "The second line will be composed of the Conti nental Regiment of Maryland troops, commanded by Lient.-Col. How ard ; on the left of the second line, fall ing back one hundred yards in tne rear, a continuation of the second line,or third line will be formed, advancing its left wing towards the enemy, so as to bring it nearly parallel with the left of theCon ti nental troops, upon the second line. The Virginia militia, commanded by Maj. Triplet, with the South Carolina militia, dommanded by Capt. Beaty, will form on the right of the second line ; the left, nearly opposite to the rierht of the second line, one hundred yards in its rear ; the right extending towards the enemy, so as to De opposite to or parallel with the second line. The main guard will hold its present posi tion, and be commanded by Col. Wash- ington s calvalry, with sucn or coi. mc call's regiment of new raised South Carolina State treops as have been equipped for dragoons, will be a reserve, and form in the rear of Col. Pickens, beyond the ridge, one or two hundred yards, and nearly opposite tbe main guard, north of the road." This is not meant as a correct report, of the general order, but as nearly so as the menory, influenced by sucn events, could be expected to retain. Another Account of the Battle Col. Hammond's account of the bat tle as given in a letter to a brother offi cer, was published -in the Courier in 1858, by Dr. A. L,. Hammond, coi. Ham mond's son, and is as follows : Guilbert Town, .

TnE Observer took the prohibition side of the Question which is now be fore the people of North Carolina, be- ? o mnral nr reliffious point of Va ujj au 1- view, there was nowhere else for it to stand. There are some persons on that side who are very extreme in their ideas, but The Observer does not belong to that school.
