Junft 20. I am happy to inform you of au event of a very thrilling character which recently took place in Murfreesborough. Intemperance had, not long since, develop-eu itseU a very painful manner. The sympathies of many being aroused, a meet- lIISo was called forthe-pur-i fl P'uasive means to. free this Pnnm.

These gentlemen who were engaged in the traffic were earnestly requested and effectively importuned to desist from it. I am happy in being able to state that they yielded to enlightened public sentiment and to the wishes ot their lellow citizens, bv promising at once to desietfrom the practice.

In honor of the cvjnt it was determined to make a bonfire of some of the YVhiskev. This was appointed to take place at night on tho lawn of the Chowan Female Culk'jre In stitute. At tho hour appointed, the bell of too Institute rung by the young ladies themselves, announced that the time had arrived. The b'ls in the town immediately followed. The citizens from all parts' of the village assembled amid the ringingofbeil3 and the booming of cannon to honor with their presence that event, which commenced the triumph of the cause of humanity and virtue in Mur-freesboro'.

The members of the Institute met the citizens from the village, to unite in tho common iubile3. It was a joyful and enthusiastic assembly. The old and young I were there. The fair young ladies of tho In- stitute, graced, the assembly with their pres- ence and enlivened it with their song. In the i midst 01 the spectators arose the lurid flames from the whiskey casks, and "fully rose," as though reluctant to como in such immediate contact with its foul fumes.

After tho assembly had been addressed in very animating strains by ministers of the gospel, all retired to their homes highly delighted that so fruitful a source of evil as the tramo in ardent spirits was removed from our midst-May no one ever more attempt to practice in this village, that, against which the citizens have so fully and harmoniously expressed their disapprobation.

Whilst the news of discoveries of Copper in various counties of North Carolina is creating quite a sensation, not one word has been said about the prospects in Surry. Go where you will and when you will, cvt ery man you meet has his pockets literally filled with rocks, and at every gathering is amusing to see the people collect in groups and inspect the contents of each other's pockets, or at least, those who were a little fortunate in choosing the material from which their pockets wero made, as a great many have lost valuable rocks from the wear and tear of pockets.

J.STEWART, vVtTfcy f.l: BOND." t. i 1 FOR'TrtE SPIRIT OF THE AGE. EDiToinYou haVe not improved by the lecture Dikos gave you, but drive on at thsame speed, amfchave called in anoth- er to aid y6u in jour Enterprise of disturb ing the orderof and encroaching on the nrerogatives of the monopoly. You and the Re Doub do not seem know that North 'Carolina' in her legislative-enactments has'selccted the Liquor-sellers to teach' morality, and goodness, and has guarded their rights more solemnity, than any other claskof teachers she has ssen fitrtb'employ; What teacher In. schools, re-rigion, or politics has she recommended by oath or at least.

by two "creditable witnesses. She requires it is moral and intellectual qualifications in her teachers of public schoo3, but wh'ons required to set before. tho commit tees of examination upon oath that they know these men to be of good moral character I The committee of course can judge of the intellectual qualifications, but has she sworn any of them to dojusVice in this matter She has and does look to the grog shops for her teachers of morality' and expects men employed by her to be of that character. She allows, ihem to" deliver lessons on morals over the whole State, bating a faw Heaven-forsaken like Chapel Kill and Wake Forest. places These places need of course no lessons of that kind.

They are so abandoned I.suppose in the estimation of our such instruction 3 would be lost upon the dwellers in these places. From these and some other facts, I will make several deductions. 1 That the leading interest in North Carolina is that of the Liquor Monopoly. 2. That the great idea of Legislative power and privilege in this State, is the right to make drunkards.

3. That the citizens of North Carolina are not entitled to equal protection under her laws. Now sir, with those grave deductions before your eyes, will not. you and your Jsand cease your agitations You mean to tear a-way the great rights of the land, do you Then curtail liberty and spoil this grand monopoly, and place the good citizens of North Carolina on a level. Your Sub-Editor, ends with a lesson of rebellion against the order of things and says "To your tents Israel." How dare he talk after this fashion, not having regard to, rights of the monopoly nor the fear of the liquor interest before his eyes.

What right has that grand lecturer of yours to be talking about the rights derived and secured from that Old Book the Bible, and its author, in tbe face of the dignified legislators of North Carolina and her imposing teachers of goodness and morality which she guards with so much solemnity What are you going to do, with the traveling public They must be accommodated. Every body travels now-a-days. Such men as St. Paul, who teach home duties, and inculcate the propriety of having a care for the household and the training of children are antiquated. They who live at home and attend to their own affairs, are nobody, and those papas that think their boys and girls should be withheld from the liquor circle, are not entitled to the protection of laws and the respect of citizens, Your temerity is such, I do not hope to cure you when vou show so Jittle tear, lest the miglity; Miller of Caldwell may fiill on you ana Srma 3 0U 10 P(nvuur liju must uu ui uy mis iiwu iJiiviii 1 i.

Gleanings fromour Correspondents. A correspondent Eglantine, Wilkes thus writes: "Our Temperance Society was formed ii 1851, and has been in a prosperous condition ever is 54 males and 62 females whole number 116.
