He was greeted by many , friends (no doubt), but there was no public reception. There had been a melaheholy affray at Hampden Sydney College, Va., between two students, E. A.

The Missuiippian says that after a long and in- terestino- discussion of ten davsj the following amendment exempting a portion of slave property from sale under executions, passed the Senate of that State by 20 yeas to 5 nays: Y "Exempting one slave to be selected by the debt or, if he have more than one; and should such debt or wish to retain a female slave, then all the chil' drcn of such female, upder the age of twelve years, shall likewise be exemp ted." r We have, in full, Moirlay's proceedings of the Gen eral Assembly. The Western Extension bill, after various amendments bv the Senate, was referred to a select committee of five, consisting! of Messrs. Gor- rell. Coleman, Hill, Eaton and Cherry. . . The Wilmington, Charlotte and Rutherford road ' bill was considered in the Commons,1 and several amendments offered and changes made. . Mr. Meares nolcft at some leneth in advocacy of the bil'. It was i - : r ( " , covenes ana inventions; accounts oi battles, de scriptions of battle-fields and fortifications; epis tolary correspondence and, in fine, every thing which may possess historical value.

President bwam s intention, in addition to the early collections indicated in "the foregoing paragraph, to prepare, or secure the services of com petentj)ersons, to prepare sketches of the history of the different counties; and for this purpose he invokes the co-operation of; enlightened and patri otic citizens in every county. He himself, as we ga ther from the letter to which allusion has been made above, is opening a correspondenco with the Histoii" cal Societies of South Carolina, Virginia and Geor gia, and. contemplates a visit for free conference and personal research, to Richmond, Charleston and Sa" vannah in May or June, next , and hopes by an in terchange of ideas and papers to be able in due time to obtain all the information that can be found on this side of the Atlantic. . , The. State is fortunate in procuring the services of a gentkmon so eminently qualified for the duty to be perfoimed, and which with him.' will, truly be a labor of love ; and in this connection we may also , ordered to be printed.

The first q'ues- ! tion was on striking out ayes 4G, noes 65. ; Mr. Erwin moved to strike out the 2d section ayes 50, noes 55. The bill to amend the Charter of the Cape Fear Bank, after considerable discussion passed its second. and third readings in the . Senate. , The bill to incorporate the Southern Air-Line Rail Road Comnanv. passed its last treading in the Commons. A bill in relation to a change in the law of evi dence, (repeals,.an act of 1852 admitting copies f wills without probate filed in the Secretary's office as evidence in Courts also passed jits last reading in the Commons. ; We notice that the Raleigh Standard is . quite zealous in its advocacy of the Western Ex tension, having already made it the subject of one or two extended and elaborate leaders." t We believe this is the only measure before the f General Assembly, except the famous Mexican Pre amble, which the organ of the dominant party in -the Legislature and the State has vouchsafed to ad vocate. If President Swain receives the hearty co-opera tion of gentlemen in the different counties, rs he de sires and expects, there can be no doubt that he will obtain a vast amount of materials in relation to the history of bur State an amount not less exteri sive and authentic than those at the command of any of our sister States. We trust tha he may meet with the. fullest succc :s in thisimpbrtant undertaking- , ,'--'' iBythe.way, as somewhat germaine to the matter in hand, we would inquire what has become of the Historical Society of Wilmington, established some months since?" .. . .

A re you temperate or intemperate ? A temperate di inker is considered by drunkards as belonging to their class; But, you say you only drink out of respect to your iiiends. Have you thought that if your friend loves to drink he needs no encouragement; and if a total abstinence man, you do him no favor. It i voluntary with yourself, because you love to drink hence, you are in the greater danger.

Ladies, your influence to suppress intemperance is only se cond to that of an ove: ruling Providence. But, you-say you are independent of society and at liberty to act as you pier se. 'Yet ever one .is de pendent oil society and every one accountable to so ciety. Our faiUng to" feel or to acknowledge this dependence or this obligation does not, in .the least degree, diminish its force, or in any way release us from its imperative demands. And if this be our relations in, social life, and these its demands, how much more are we amena- hle to the high mandate which rays "Love thy neighbor as thyself?" Do-I love my neighbor when I. by precept and example lead him into temptation? Does not my brother's blood cry against me? How shall l as an individual extricate myself from the re sponsibility?

Think for j'ourelf think for your family, your neighbor, your friends. Think of your influ ence on society in general. Compare temperance, with intemperance.. Count the cost of becoming an advocate of temperance and, if need be, deny yourself. If your habits endanger your own or your family's" safety or reputation, abandon those habits.
