When l came up to the spot, I lbunU that the crowd consisted of a parcel of Idle jTel- lows,'iho were diverting; themselves at tle ex penie and with the foolery of a miserable IooKlnc urctch", who la t stretched before them, so drunk -'as upto lc able to standi" Hut though unable to ; . tunl, he still was profuse in vulgar and profane language t he swore' that he was a gentleman, and as well raided as the liest of them. I in quired concerning him, and received for answer, luat be was from an adjpininjj county, and a ha bitual drunkard I Debased mortal," said I and walked on. ' I had scarcely proceeded more than another square, before I met a good looking jounjj man, apparently .not mordtharr 17 or 18 years of age, reeling and staggering from one tide of the pavement to the other. I stood fixed with amazement ; but followed, with my eyes, his zig zag course, until he stumbled into a house of decent exterior, and disappeared. At that moment a gentleman approached me, whom 1 fcccostcd, and the following dialogue passed be . tween us. I shall call him Citizen and myself stranger. Stranger Is it possible that the young man - - can be intoxicated? Citizen Yes, sir, he Is drunk again. Str Ajjain ! why, is he in the habit of using ardent spirits to excess 1 ' Cit. Sir, he-never fails getting drunk when ever he can obtain spirits enough - to make him so, which oftcirJuppens every day -Why, sir, I hove frequently teen him unable to walk before 8 o'clock in the morning. Str.- Alas ! what can the unhappy youth prom- iso himself ? what can he expect to come to ? - liow .wretched must he be when he reflect t upon his conduct! Cit Sir, he never tejtectt he never think : he is a habitual drunkard! Tl . , Str. You must perceive, sir, that I am a stranger here ; you will, therefore, excuse me for troubling you with a few more inquiries This, fir, is the second habitual drunkard I have seen in your streets in rhy walk of a few hundred vards. Pray, sir, is habitual drinking very com won in your town, and the country hereabouts ? Cit. Nothing more, common!', it pervades every class of the community; - If you wilt look into what is called the higher circles, you will find it very prevalent there : For instance, a set (I young fvbows about town will get together, drink until they are shamefully intoxicated, and ittfn Cill it taking a Jrulic .L Lhave known it to happen thit their fi lends had to send for them. tnd put them to bed Will you believe it, sir, I have seen some of these characters attend balls and parties in this disgraceful plight. At other times, they . will go to such sober, but soon be come so blue (as they call getting drunk) as to vKger in their movements. " r a Str. Stop, sir, I fear yu are sporting with the credulity of a stranger. I have oftentimes heard my futn(i Dr. Judith Morse talk about the tlissi nation of southern young men1; but, surely, these young men cannot be so deprived of all sense of propi lety, oi uiame, and of decency, as to appear in puuuv,, mm uciorfrne,iaaies, in mat aeousmg condition? Jlesi'les, sirI should suppose they w6uld not be permitted to enter decent comnanv ; 1 should suppose the managers of jour balls would have them turned out tf the room as soon a thejMnade their unnearanre.

I came from a part of the country v here tliiii;;t au managed in a very different stylo. In the liit place, habitual drinking U by no means common, even among the lowest classes of society. If u young man, such as you have been dcsciildng. was to show a propensity fur strong drink, he aouhl lose Ms character at once ; he would be excluded from all (decent toi iety, and no one would trust hlra for a single cent i In the next place, If such characters would mako their ap pearance at a ball, the managers would jiistantly make the servants turn them out of the robin.

J stmavcik. The foregoing are serious charges againKt the morals of some of our citizens. .We are of opin ion that the description is too highly colored but some of our readers know best. Is it true Is it half true r If ft is, we uddress ourselves to the sober reflections of these thoughtless sons of folly, and bid them stop before it is too late be fore they pass the moral Rubicon, hen there is no returning before they become fixed in habits that will disqualify them for all usefulness in life Hut if they will not listen to the warning voice and will still hurry on to ruin, it beebmes the real citizens of the place those that have some respect for the good name of their town the heads of families those that would save the mor als of their children from the influence of pcrni cious and corrupting examples it becomes these, by common consent, to produce a re for- i. i :..: .i: mauon lx sucn as mcc uuue iu uiacuumc nancing all excesses of the kind : Let them cx elude from decent society, from their families, from their parties, and not admit to tbeir balls, the votaries of idleness and intoxication. To the ladies, too ; to the matrons ot families, we ad dress ourselves : Have you daughters growing or crown ud ? Teach them to escape the prcs ence of those who have no shame, no delicacy of feeling ; who breathe the fumes of intemperance. Remember, drunkenness first destroys all sense ; next, all principle. Hon. PasjrriM Mbllkv, Senator in the Congress of the United States, has been appointed by the Governor ami Council of Maine, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Uiat State. TOBACCO, It is awe rtained, that upwards of Eight em Thoutand Ilugtfwadt ij Tobttcf have been received already this season at the different Warehouses in this plare. Refore the first of October, at which time the shipping1 will expire, we doubt not the number will cx ceed 2u,000. In this computation, the tobacco brourht down the Appomattox Canal is not included i which be ing inspected above, is merely brought here for sale ; ami we have known, in the course of the seswm, one house to receive through tills channel in a single day, the con signment of 500 Mult. "W'e lmve no data ly which to as certain the whole extent of the canal commerce ; but it is already considerable, and is daily becoming1 more so. The whole of tlus vast amount of produce brought to 4he Petersburg market, and either sold for cash, or bartered for necessary poods. And what U doubtless the most nleasine circumstance to the planter, is the promp titudc with which the business of buying and selling is conducted. The moment th tobacco is inspected, the mirchascrs arc unon the snot, and tho seller realizes its 1 . i value uninediatclv. -Many Bhips have been despatched from our port in the course of this month and last, freighted with tobacco, cotton and flour j and there are now between fifteen and twenty loading for foreign ports.
