The Rise akd Pkogkess of the
Independent Order of Good Tem
riiARs. At the request of a member of
the Order in this city, who furnishes the
manuscript, we publish the following in
regard to the rise and progress of the
Good Templars in this country. The
Order in the city now numbers nearly
three hundred, and is daily receiving
accessions:
The Independent Order of Good Tem
plars had its origin in 1851, in central
New York, whera it sprang up, anel
rapidly spread out and planting its roots
here and there, deep in the soil, a:.d
sending its life-blood from town
to town, crossing over into the Key
stone State on one side, and the
Queen's dominions on the other,
and soon finding its way across
the broad prairies of the "West, it
reached the great Father of Waters,
taking no time for repose- it was borne
swiftly down the bioad waters fo the
sunny clime of the South, thence, across
the wilds of the trackless West, to the
sands ol the Go.'den State.
Nathaniel Curtis, Esq., One of the
earliest trophies of Washingtoniauism,
Garey Chambers, Esq., Rev. II. P.
Barnes, Dr. C. S. Miles, and Rev. D. W.
Bristol, were among the first active
movers and officers, during the first
four years of its existence the last
named being the author of our Ritual
for the Initiatory and higher Degrees.
In May, 1855, Representatives from ten
Grand Lodges, which at this time had
been organized, namely : New York,
Pennsylvania, Canada, Iowa, Indiana,
Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, Illinois
and Ohio, met at Cleveland, Ohio, and
organized the Right Worthy. Grand
Loelge ot North America, which was to
be the supreme head of the Order au
thority up to this time exercised
by tlie Grand Lodge of New York.
At this time were adopted a
Constitution anel By-Laws for its gov
ernment, annual sessions appointed, and
other business transacted necessary to
set in motion a great and wide-spread
body, which has already done a world
of good, and is destined to achieve
signal triumphs for Truth and Ternpcr
auce. Annual sessions were held each
succeeding year, at such places as were
selected, each Grand Lodge sending
representatives in proportion to its
membership. The first presiding officer
of the R. W. Lodge, was the Rev, Jas.
M. Moore, of Keutucky. In 1858, Simeon
B. Ch'isei Esq, of Pennsylvania, was
elected K. W. G. Templar, was re elected
from year to year, until the last session
in ISG'3, when Hon. S. D. Hastings, of
Wisconsin, was chosen. He held the
office until 1 80S; when the present in
cumbent, J. II. Orne, of Massachusetts,
was chosen. At this session, in addition
to those already named, we had Grand
Lodges in Minnesota. Wisconsin, Kan
sas, ' California, Massachusetts, Maine,
New Hampshire, Vermo'nt, Rhode Is
land, Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland,
District of Columbia, West Virginia,
Prince Edward's Island, Nova Scotia,
Oregon and Washington Territory, Ten
nessee, Nebraska, Idaho and Colorado ;
and prior to the warol 1851, flourishing
Graud Lodges also existed in Mississip
pi, Alabama and Arkansas, the total
membership of the Ordei in 1SG3 being
about four hundred and fifty thousand.
It has now upards of forty Grant!
Lodges with a membership of over
halt million people.
" . PLATFORM.
This Order takes the broadest grouud
upon all questions connected with the
.Temperance reform, and yet, as it
seems to many, the only consistent po
sttion for any one to assume, who
wishes to save or to be saved, or to asL
sist in the great work of pushing. to
the wall the most giant evil that ever
cursed the earth.
The following 13 the platform, as
adopted at the annual session in 1859:
1st. Total abstinence from all intoxi
cating liquors as a beverage.
2d. No license, in any form, or under
any circumstances, for the sale of any
liquors, to be used as a beverage.
3d. 1 he absolute prohibition of the
manufacture, importation and sale of
intoxicating liquors for such purposes-
prohibition by the will of the people.
expressed in due form of law, wilh'the
penalties deserved for a crime of such
enormity.
4th. The creation of a healthy public
opinion upon the subject, by the active
dissemination ot truth m all the modes
known to an enlightened philanthropy.
5th. 1 he election ot good, honest men
to administer the laws.
Gth, Persistence in efforts to save in
dividuals and communities from so
direful a scourge, against all forms of
opposition and difficulty, until our suc
cess is complete and universal.
The Good Terriplars are pledged to
tocal abstinence for life, a feature not
in all temperance pledges. They make
the pledge of total abstinence the es
sence of the whole thing, and upon this
hinges their work in every department
of the reform ; and hence to restrain
men from breaking it when once made
is their great end and aimi. ,
Thus stands written upon their colors
in golden characters, 4,Life long is the
Good Templar's Pledge."
As an educator, this Society chal
lenges competition. That there is u
real vitality in it, as a forming and temperance-nurturing
institution, which
none other can lay claim to, is. becom
ing: trenerallv acknowledged. Ministers
of the Gospel and Missionaries, in their
public letters to the religious press and
reports, have alluded to them and their
meetings as a most efficient instrument
in improviug the habits and tastes, mor
ally and socially, ot whole neighbor
hoods; and hence their Order becomes
the handmaid of Religion in the culti
vation of the heart.
The limits we have assigned burselves
in this brief history of the rise and pro
gress of the Good Templars will not aU
low us to speak of all the desirable
leatures that should commend this order
to the temperance and christian public,
as an instrument to push on the great
work of humanity. The Order began
its existence in this State in August,
1872.
Colonel J. J. Hickman, of Kentucky,
came to the State in lugust, and
delivered a lecture at Metropolitan Hall
in Raleigh, and organized the first
Lodge in ihe State with eighty chartered
members. Colonel Hickman organized
a grand Lodge for North Carolina
at the State Capitol.
Rev. Dr. Pritcbard was elected G. W,
C. T., for the State. There are now
filty Lodges in North Carolina with &
membership of three thousand, men and
women of influential character. The
Order is lapidly spreading in the Old
North State. The banner of ''Faith
Hope and Chairity," now waves in proud
triumph from the mountains to the sea
shore.
THE RECENT FLOODS,
SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE CROPS.
THE F RE SHE T IN TUE TAR.
The Roanoke on the . Rampage.
DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY.
E fleets of the Inundation.
From every section of the State
gloomy accounts reach us concerning
the devastations caused by the heavy
freshets in our rivers, their disastrous
effect upon the farming operations, the
destructions of property, fcc. &c.
From the East, West and central
counties, we hear the same repoits, and
ic is beyond our power to form any
idea ot the hundreds of thousands dol
lars of private property which have
been destroyed.
From an intelligent, gentleman who
reached this city from Louisburg yester
day, we learn that the classic Tar has
been cutting some fantastic capers, and
has been overflowing its banks to such
an extent as to carry dismay to the
hearts of the farmers who vainly im
agined that they could this year reap
abundant crops in its fertile low
grounds. Our informant, who is & very
prudent gentleman says Franklin
county alone will sustain at least a
los3 of one hundred and fifty thousand
dollars by the recent floods.
A gentleman just from Halifax re--ports
even greater damage along the
course of the turbulent Roanoke. The
water rose higher in that river than was
ever known before. Not even that la
mous individual, the "oldest inhab
itant," ever knehv anything like it be
fore. The damage to the crops is very
great, and will reach several hundred
thousand dollars. He gives us some
details which will serve as a
sample for the rest. Not a plan
tation on the Roanoke from ' Wel
don to Hamilton but has been more
or less damaged) in some instances the
elacu lges to individual farmers footing
up thousands of elollars. Near Weldon,
the plantations of Col. N. M. Long, Col.
John Long anel John Long, Jr., have
sustained serious losses. These gentle
men had each several hundred acres in
cotton, corn anel . oats, which were un
der water lor several days. At Halifax
Ferry the water rose in the storehouse
and destroyed $2,500 worth of goods.
At Pollock Ferry, crops were drowned,
houses washed away, &c. At Polenta,
tlie valuable plantation of Major John
B. Neal, of Norfolk, of the' firm of Jno.
B. Neal & Co., was completely submerg
ed. The cabins for the hands, the over
seers' houses, and the gin house were
badly injured, and a crib containing
four hundred barrels of corn was sub
merged and it is thought the corn will
be ruined. All the Scotland Neck
plantations, lying in the vicinity of the
river, came in for their share of the dis
aster. At Hill's Ferry, ou the- planta
tion formerly owned by Maj. John Do
ver eux, of this city, the dwelling was
raised four feet and a half above' the
ground. The stock on the plantation
were saved by being taken in the house
and kept on the first floor, while the in
mates sought protection on the second
floor. One vast expanse of water spreael
from the Ferry to the highlands, a dis
tance of several miles, between which
points not a foot of laud was visible.
What effects this tremendous deluge
will have upon the crops cannot ot
course with certainty be predicted, but
the farmers are low-spiriteel and
gloomy, and . some of them have
almost despaired ot doing anything.
They certainly . have some cause for
elespondency; but the Roanoke farmers
are not the men to give way in the
midst of untoward calamities, and we
trust they will strive to make the best
of their unfortunate situation.
From the West, the accounts are
equally as distressing. The Yadkin
has been higher than at any time since
1825, and hay,, oats, corn, fodder, live
stock and houses have been floated
down its swollen current, while the
growing crops ot wheat, rye oats and
corn have been sadly and in some
instance? irretrievably damaged.
Work to be Commenced at Once.
A special meeting of the Executive
Committee of the State Agricultural
Society was held in thi3 city yesterday
morning, and we are pleased to state
that everything is in readiness to go for
ward with the work upon the giounds.
The Committee have employed a most
efficient Superintendent, who will have
the buildings erected under his immedi
ate supervision and by labor employed
by the Committee, the Society thus be
coming its own contractor. The Exe
cutive Committee, now that the niott
serious difficulties have been overcome,
will move forward with an earnestness
that will guarantee the grounds being
in readiness before the time of holding
the Fair.
The Building Committee will meet
to-night in the office of the Secretarv.
A Kentucky Rogue Captured.
Sheriff Tweed of Madison county noti
fies Gov. Caldwell of the capture and
commitment to the iail of his county
of B. V. Peck on a bench warrant is
sued by Judge Henry. Peck is charged
with having stolen a horse and a gold
watch in Kentucky some four years
ago The Governor of Kentucky
ha been notified of the arrest.
The entertainment or lecture at Tuck
er Hall last night, given by Mr. W. II.
Barnes, of New York, was well atten
ded, notwithstanding the inclement
weather. We will give an account of it
to-morrow morning.
Tiie Strike. On yesterday no new
developments came to light in the pre
sent tea-hour strike going on in this
city. According to agreement, the
strikers held a meeting at Metropolitan
Hall last night. At 8.30 P. M. the
meeting was called to order by the
Chairman, Mr. Coates. Mr. B. Bar bee
acted as Secretary.
On motion a Committee of three, con
sisting of Messrs. J. L. Forrest, J. W.
Dixon and James II. Harris, colored,
was appointed to confer with the
contractors in regard to the preseut
movement. The Committee was direc
ted to proceed to the Mayors office to
confer with said contractors and' report
as soon as possible. The Committee,
as directed, proceedeel to the Mayors
office, but found none of the contractors
present.
After waiting some half an hour and
none of the bosses having put in an
appearance, the committee returned and
reported in accordance with the facts.
A resolution .was offered raising a
committee of five to wait on the, con
tractors and get from them each a writ
ten statement as to whether or not they
will accede to the. demand for the ten
hour system, and if they are not wil
ling to comply at once," at what time
they will elo so.
Mr. Si 1 Bryan offered an amendment
requesting all mechauics in the city to
suspend work until this matter is finally
settled.
The resolution and amendment crea
ted a long debate.and at the hour which
this is written, (11 p. m,) no conclusion
had been reactied, and the discussion
bid fair to continue for some time long
er, therefore our report must close at
this point.
P. S. At a later hour the Conven
tion adopted the resolution and ad
journed to meet again to-night.
The Regatta at Norfolk. The
Norfolk Virginian and Journal of yes
terday contained interesting accounts of
the boat-race for the championship of
Norfolk and Portsmouth, between the
Seaboard Club of the latter city and
the Chespeakes of the former. The
weather was unfavorable, but large
numbers ot exciter! visitors from both
cities turned out to .witness Lhe contest.
The river was filled with boats, large
and small, and hundreds of ladies turn
ed out ar.d adeled to the interest of the
scenes.
We clip the following from the
Journal's Portsmouth reporter :
"At 4 J o'clock P. M. the word " go "
was' given when the Chesapeakes got
the start about a half-length, but before
Fort Norfolk was passed the Seaboards
gallantly shot ahead and kept so
through the race. They made the run
three miles in 18 minutes and 55
seconds, the Chesapeakes in 19 minutes
and 25 seconds, thus reaching the stake
boat 30 seconds in advance of their
competitors.
The Seaboarels were neatly uniformed
in reel flannel shirts anil blue pants,
with white handkerchiefs bound around
their heads, and could be easily discern
ed ahead on the home stretch, when
cheer after cheer greeted them from the
boats aud Hospital shores. After re
maining a short time on the Norfolk
side to receive the prize thiu nobly won,
they returned to their boat house on
Swimming Point, where an anxiou3
throng awaited them. Boquets lrom
the ladies were literally showered upon
them as they approached the wharf, and
prolonged cheers were given by the
men, which was lollovved by handshak
ing and many hearty congratulations
on landing. &o lejoiced were the
friends of tlie club that immediate steps
were taken to raise a handsome fund
for a sumptuous feast on Friday night.
