MOR&MREMGWOS
What Sustains the Liquor Traffic.
The iollowing extract is from a discourse
delivered by llev. (jr. L. Foster, pastor of
the Presbyterian church in Ypsilanti,
■oiichigan, occasioned by the murder of a
wile by her husband, while under the mad
dening influence of strong drink. After
u vivid presentation of the enormous bur- I
dens entailed upon society by this fruitful
cause of immorality, poverty and crime, be |
very properly inquires: 'Who is responsi
ble for the existence of the traffic in any
community V
'1 have reached the inevitable conviction
that what sustains the liquor traffic here,
and what hinders the successful enforce
ment of law for its suppression, more than
anything else, is the general undcrstindimj
that tie traffic has the support, the counte- j
nance—at least the leave to in-, of a compar- ;
ativeh/ few of our most respectable and in- i
1 fluential citizens, among whom are inclu
| ded, to their shame, or glory, too many of
the members of the legal profession. Those
to whom I allude are not distinguished gen
• orally for their intellectuality, nor yet for
j their moral power, eL/e they would not be
willing to stand so near the tide of non
! cotnmittulisni in respect to a moral evil;
! nevertheless they have great influence.
I Some of them have considerable social and
| momentary influence. Some of theui came
here for the sole purpose of making mor
ey. and they have caved intensely lor not
ing else, not seeing how intimately connec
i ted moral worth is to all other wotths. —
Some of them have a commendable spirit
'of enterprise in some directions. They
j are generally, of a quiet, mind-their-own
business 8(01111" —so much so that they seem
to be perpetually saying: 'Am 1 my broth
j er's keeper V Some of them have become
! so related to this traffic in securing official
j positions, that they can in no manner op
• pose what Las been one of their chief sup
porters.
Now, such as those, are the cause of the
; existence of this traffie here, and hence the
cau-e of its evils. Their course encoura-
ges those engaged in the traffic, and dis- j
I couriges those desiring and seeking its |
i overthrow. This audience knows very well
that if it were proper, I could name abut
fa seore of men who, coining cordially and
decidedly to the help of others, could quick- j
ly drive tjjis enemy of all good from among j
us. Whether they shall continue to occu- !
py their present position remains to be j
; seen. But if they do, 1 will most deliber- 1
ately and publicly charge upon them the i
chief responsibility of sustaining among us ,
| a business that brings forth poverty, pau- i
perism, sorrow, adultery, and murder, as !
its legitimate fruits. If any shall be often- j
ded at this plainness, they shall be respon- |
sible for that. Am I become their enemy
because I tell them the truth? Nay, in
deed : —and if any of you are in doubt
whether you stand among these condemned
ones —you may be sure that you are inclu
de i—lor to stand where you are in doubt
is to stand where you are condemnable.
Oh, if the day will ever come when some
of these quiet, uiind-their-own-business
men shall wake up to the fact that their own
sous have been ruined by that about which
they have sought to be so non committal,
they will greatly wonder how they could
have been so indifferent; how they could
have dreamed along so careless of influen
ces that have blasted their brightest hopes
and disappointed their most confident ex
pectations. If the day shall come when
some of these shall learn that their daugh
ters are affianced to young men whose hab
its have been formed under the influence
of saloons and billiard rooms; and if they
shall be compelled to go pn to learn that
life-long alliances have been forrued with
such as are passing through the progressive
stages ot inebriation, how can they ever
forgive themselv.es that they were so care
less as they now are, of the moral influen
ces surrounding tlieir homes!
Oh, they will 'mourn at the last,' when
mourning will be a poor atonement for
past indifference, and a poor pledge that
it shall not be increased to a dreadful an
guish- Say, what father would welcome
the place of that father, who was recently
summoned from hig quiet home, to look up
on the murdered form of son or daughter ?
What juother would be in her place who
thus looked upon the child she had borne?'
Business Men.
The road along which the man of busi
ness travels in pursuit of competence or
wealth is not a macadamized one, nor does
it ordinarily lead through the pleasaut
Hceues and by weil-springs of delight. On
the contrary it is a rough path, with " wait
a bit" thorns, acd full of pit falls, which
can only be avoided by tho exercise of
watchful care and cirouinspection. After
each day's journey over this worse than
corduroy turnpike, the wayfarer needs
something more than this. He requires
solace and he deserves it. He ;s weary ot
the dull prose of life, and has thirst lor the
poetry. Happy is the business man who
can find that social spirit and that poetry
at home. Warm greeting from loving
hearts, fond glances from bright eyes.
The welcome shouts of children, the thou
sands little airaugementg for our comfort
and enjoyment that silently tell of though! ul

and expectant love; the gentle ministra
tions that disencumber us into an old easy
seat before we are aware of it. These and
like tokens of affection and sympathy con
stitute the poetry, which reconcile us to the
prose of life. Think of this, ye wives and
daughters of business niGn. Think of the
toils, the anxieties, the mortifications and
wear that fathers undergo to secure for you
comfortable homes, and compensate them
lor their trials by making them happy by
their own fireside.
Forever w th the Lord? —A few more
trials —a few more tears —a few more days
of darkness—a few more days of troubie,
and we shall be forever with the Lord !
Thus wrote one about two weeks before ho
entered into rest. His life was such that
there can be no doubt but that he desired
to be forever with the Lord, and that his
desire is being gratified. Reader, do you
desire to be forever with the Lord ? Could
you enjoy his society? Could you bear to
have his eye upon you? Why then are
you so far away irom him now? You do
not needlessly keep away from the friend
whose society you desire. If you are con
tent to live so far from God here, will you
then. I a-k you, delight to be forever with
liiin hereafter ?
Let us be Joyful. —A little mirth mixes
well and profitably with both business and
philanthropliy. 11 ow stupid life would be,
both in labor and in leisure, without that
gayety within us which responds to the
cheerfulness and beauty around us Nay,
its main currents run al! the deeper, as
well as fresher and purer, for the light rills
of joyousness that laughing and flashing,
flow into them. The rivers would stagnate
into pools if the rivulets ceased to play.
Philosophers and men of business save
their souls alive, and keep their intellects
fresh and healthy, by mingling their mirth
fulness of youth with the soberness of age ;
and even fun and philanthropy are ullen
found in the same character.
Loss of the Conna' gat
Mr. 11. Whittell, ft .New fork. a pas
senger in the Connaught, fui nishes the loj
lowing statement as to the loss ut that tine
steamship:
Passing the circumstances of the voyage
froiy Gal way, which port we left at 5 P. M.
of the 25th tilt, until about 8 P. M. ot
Saturday, the Oth wist., lie says . W liile
heading westwardly, the wind blowing a
northernly gale, the ship begun to roll to
the larboard with a singular motion, going
far down and keeping that way a long time,
which caused some alarm. Meantime the
captain was heard giving orders about steer
mg, manning the pumps, \c. Firemen
under lea of tiifi paddle box were observed
whispering, and there were other manifes
tations that something was not right. Con
siderable water was observed through the
grating. The engine was soon after stop
ped for a while. After strenuous exertions
by Captain Leitch and crew, the ship right
ed and the wheels commenced turning,
when the passengers became more compos
ed. The sea was rough, the wind blowing
what sailors call an ordinary lull gale.
Most of the passengers turned in, but passed
a restless niirbt.
Sunday 8 A. 51.—The ship began to j
roll with staggy motion similar to the even- j
ing previous. The captain and crew could !
neither tack or wear the ship. Soon after
the engine stopped, and sh;a£) could not j
be raised in the boilers. The ship
rolled frightfully to the larbord, and the
pumps were manned, and gangs of men
commenced bailing with buckets. At 10
o'clock is was reported that the water was
not gaining, but, on the contrary, that the
pumps and boilers were gaining on the
leak, and if the wiud would stiffen would
reach Boston that night. But these hopes
were changed to extreme terror, when
the word was passed round in low tones
that, 'The ship was on tire!' accompanied
by the smell of burning wood.
The fire appeared between the decks.
Gangs were immediately formed, with
putnpsand buckets, to extinguish the flames,
taking the water from the sea and passing
it in buckets. As the fire gained the sai
lors began to slacken work, ail eyes staring
around the horizon in hopes to see some
means of safety. Several false reports of
a vessel in sight were made, but at last
we discovered a sail to the northward, and
soon after another to the westward, both
very low down ; but it became plain at one
o'clock that both were nearing us, and the
vessel steering north had three masts, and
the one west only two.
We soon found out that the latter was
passing, while the other still neared with
out showing any sign that she noticed us,
which kept ua in extreme anxiety and
doubt until she bore directly lor us, evi
deutly showing that she observed the steam
er's flags of distress, which had been hois
ted since midday. When we commenced to
steer away and launch boats, which was a
very difficult job, the ship lying almost on
her side in a trough of the sea. By this
time the fixe hud cut off all communication
with the saloons. The first quarter boat
| lowered wag struck by the counter and lost,
which caused hesitation about launching
the others. But the worst of our fears
was that supposing the boats should ride
the sea, which then showed signs of mod
erating. whether we could safely launch
and fill them with passengers,
There was no chance of remaining GO
board but a short time, the fire making
such progress. "he flames were momen
tarily expected to burst out and sweep the 1
decks, the fire gangs having given up all
hopes of extinguishing them, but continu
ing to apply wet blankets, etc. The side
0! the ship was then so hot, that when she
rolled it would hiss and make steam of
the sea water. The gallant little Yankee !
brig sailed alongside and hove to, seeing
our deplorable situation, and showing ev
ery sign of anxiety for us; but we began
to think it would be impossible to stow all
our number on board, she looked so small.
We have since ascertained that she was
only one hundred and eighty tons burthen.
Captain Leitch made all haste to get us in
to the boats, which was extremely difficult,
being lowered one by one with ropes.
Captain Leitch stood by all the time, coiu
i inencing with tbe women and children,
but with all the exertions that could be
made, when the sun went down only about
20(J had been gut on board the brig.
('apt. Wilson, of the brig, said, 'This
is a lioriih.D affair, to see tbe sun going
down and so many people yet ou board, the
wreck settling down and burning up. I
will do all in my power to save them.'—
Seveial of the boats' crew on reaching tbe
brig refused to return, when Captain Wil
son said, ' I will go almost alongside, and
take a hawser from 011 board, and then you
will be in little or no danger, 1 must get
every one from the wreck.' This he did,
which had the effect of giving confidence;
and by great exertion, all were got 011
board the brig by 11 o'clock P. M.
Capt. Leitch and hisfir-t officer remain
ed on board until almost surrounded with
flame, and until every person was saved,

him to come away. Ibe Humes were shoot
ing up t'nc masts, throwing a strong and
melancholy light oyer the sea. Captain
Leitch reached the brig just at midnight.
Scarcely a parcel of baggage was saved, the
trunks and even money of the cabin pas
sengers being left below during tfis confu
sion and aiurm which called them on deck
in the morning; after which communica
tion was cut off bv the water and flatngs.

A Citizen of Illinois Whipped to Death
in Texas.
The Chicago l'ress and Tribune has a
letter from Mr. Frederick Amthar, who
was recently driven out of Texas on some
frivolous pretences. lie gives the follow
ing account of the horrible whipping of a
young inau ac Henderson, in that State,
which resulted in death. He says:
'A young man from Illinois, by the name
of Evans, come tu Henderson, and while
there was incautious enough to say that he
thought free States were preferable to slave
States, and that he thought slavery was
wrong. These statements, as far as I heard
them, he made in the mildest manner, and
that only when pressed into the subject
by the young men about towu. lam sat
isfied that he never said or thought of
saying anything, except when conversation
on the subject was forced upon him. I had
but a slight acqaintance with the young
map, but 1 told him that he ought not to
allow himelf to be dragged into talk"rig on
the topic. Hut he was uot careful. In
December last, this young man was taken
out by a njub, without a trial of any kind
and whipped to death. The Henderson
New Era , a paper published in Henderson,
justified the infamous murder,on the ground
that Evans was a common thief, an Abo
litionist, &c. I was shown the whip which
I was informed had been the instrument of
his death. It was covered with blood I
also saw what I was informed was the dead
body of" Evans, about three-quarters of a
rnile from town. It was so decayed and
swollen that I did not recognize it. The
hogs ..nd buzzard* were eating it. it tiad
never been buried!'
The Yehme Gericht in Kansas.
A letter to the St. Louis Republican,
from Leavenworth, K. T , under date of
October 4, gives the following account of
a terrible work of a secret 4 igUuacc < om
mittec :
The death of A. C Ford, a lawyer of
Denver City, at the hands of the Secret
Vigilance Committee, is generally known,
but the manner and circumstances have
not before been made public, owing to the
secrecy in which his executioners saw tit
to veil their doings. The following is from
reliable authority, and is. no doubt, true:
Ford, at the time of his death, was a
passenger in the Kx press coach, 0:1 his way
to this place, either to as-ist in defending
young fjordon or to appear as a witness
for the defence. When about six miles
from Denver, the coach was stopped by a
number of men in disguise, and Ford was
ordered to get out. He complied, and the
coach went on. After it was out of sight,
his captors told him their purpose, and
started with him away from the road, to
wards the bank ui the river.
Ford icsisted thorn, and showed fight,
wheii the leader ordered his men to pre
sent arms, and in a moment several guns
were bearing point blank upon his body,
when lie concluded to submit and proceed.
They carried him a few utiles to the hank
of the river, when lie was told to prepare
to be shot. Ford, seeing they were in
earnest, requested one of them to attend
to some directions concerning the disposi
tion of his property; ami also to t ike his
watch and leave it in the hands of acer
tain person in Denver. The reply to the e
requests was that they would attend to m>
business for him. 'J'hut fhe\' would leave
his body with everything upon it, but they
would pin a paper to his clothing contain
ing any directions he might wish to leave
In a few moments after this conversation
lie was shut, and the party mounting their
horses disappeared in the direction of
Denver. When Ford was found, his watch
was untouched, and upon his coat was pin
ned a slip of paper with the words 4 Exe
cuted by the Vigilance Committee.' His
body was perforated by six buckshot and
one large bullet. The Vigilance Commit
tee hud indubitable evidence that he was
connected with the large band of burse
thieves and murderers, who infested the
country, lie hailed from Council Bluffs,
lowa, where be hail considerable property.
In that place he bore a very fair character

The Dungeons of Naples.
Naples, Sept. 11.—One of our greatest i
objects of interest is now the easily-won j
Castle St. Elmo. '1 he whole population
of Naples, male and female, seem hent on I
j erformirig a pilgrimage to that shrine of j
their patriot martyrs, and yesterday lwent |
up myself with a party of friends. We
first walked through St. Martin's marble j
church and monastery, where our Garibal- j
dian red shirts, 1 dare say, boded little good
to the white-cowled monks who gazed at j
us as we passed, tall, stately, and motionless; I
so that we at first mistook them for statues. 1
—good Carthusian monks doing penance !
in a marble paradise, bound by vow to a |
perpetual silence, and affecting an easy un :
concerned air, though in their heart of!
hearts probably trembling not a little for j
the visible and invisible treasures of which .
thgig sanctuary has been time out of mind
the repository.
From the marble cells of the monks to
the iron dungeons of the victims of Castle '
St. Elmo the transition is but short, but j
the contrast is appalling. The stone steps ;
wind down six floors, and at every floor, •
room was made for about-haif a score of vie ;
tims. Some of the miserable cells had !
windows; but, as the view from the hill
over the loveliest panorama of land and sea
would have been too great a solace to the
lonely captive, the window was latticed over
by thick wooden bars, not intended to pre
vent escape —for from that height only a
bird could attempt escape —but simply to
rob the poor recluse of the distant view ol
his familiar scenes, lu the lowest floor
there is no window to the dungeons—only
a little wicket in the door opening outward
ly for the gaoler to communicate with the
prisoner if he has a mind. 1 hat wicket
would be opened one moment in the morning
to let in a little bread and water; then t)ie
wicket would fall to, and for twenty four
hours all would be darkness inside.
I do not like to witness honors, much
! less to dwell upon them, else I could tell
; you of 3 loop-holes we were shown,
through which the sentries coui i shoot the
prisoners in their ceils and their beds. I
could repeat the instances of wholesale es
j ecutious of Swiss and Sicilian mutineers of
which St. Eiuio has been the theatre, and
of which the world never knew anything.
The caitiffs who were bur yesterday in the
: King's pay are eager to promulgate abroad
the infamy of his doings, and 1 have no
; doubt Sr.. Elmo will soon Lec.ilie the su'r.-
S ject of books or pamphlets yuling u l.t
