ICT Harmony Division, Sons ol Temperance, Alexandria, have added forty members to their list within the last six weeks; the Division numbers 1 JO good and true teetotalers, and nine petitions for membership were presented last Monday night. Potomac Division, of Georgetown, also increases rapidly. It is only about three months since this Division was instituted, and it now numbers about one hun dred members. Equal Division, of the city, receives weekly additions, and its members are determined not to be outdone in devotion to the cause. Timothy and Chrystal Fount Di visions are doing a fair business, we under stand. We think the members of this Order could extend our circulation in their respective cities and neighborhood, and we believe it to be their duty to do so. Attend to it, brothers! While on this subject, we have a word for the United Brothers of Temperance. Al though in infancy, you are a prominent band in the great cause. You already number about three hundred out-door workmen in this city; and the position you occupy in the cause, gives you a decided advantage over other associa tions, to place the Washingtonian on solid ground. We expect your undivided support in advancing total abstinence principles. See to it, brothersthe cause expects every man to do his duty. 9jT To-morrow afternoon, (Sunday,) the U. Brothers of Temperance, of this city, will visit Alexandria, and hold a public meeting in that city. The Brothers are requested to meet at the hall of Association No. 1, on C street, at one o'clock, P. M. The Junior Association, recently organized in this city, will meet at the same time and place. Military Visitors.?The Dauphin Guards, from Harrisburg, Pa., purpose visiting our city next week, on the invitation of the National Blues. They are expected to arrive on Tues day, and will, should they reach here on that day, visit Fort Washington and Mount Vernon in the steamer Columbia. We are informed that the most ample arrangements have been made by the Blues and others of our military to give them a fitting reception. They will quarter at Fuller's City Hotel. Southern Military Visit.?The Northern Volunteers, Capt. Taylor, a company of fine, tall, soldier-like looking men, arrived in New York on Thursday of last week, from S. Car olina, and were received and escorted to their quarters by Capt. Vincent, commanding the Light Guard, and afterwards to Lafayette Hall, where they partook of a sumptuous re past. Our Naw?The following is the total number of vessels efficient for actual service: Gulf of Mexico, 11; Pacific Ocean, 10; Brazil, ?3; Coast of Africa, 4; East Indies, 2; Medi terranean, 2; fitting for sea, 7; under exami nation, 4; making in all 44. The aggregate of guns carried by these vessels is at least 1100. ANOTHER ALLY. We have received the first number of the " Western Washingtonian, and Sons of Tem perance Record," published in Cincinnati, Ohio It is a neat little sheet, and we wish it suc cess. The Order, whose principles it will ad vocate, is rapidly advancing in that State; we consider it the duty of members to support and disseminate the doctrine of Total Absti nence throughout the world; and the most effectual way to accomplish this, is to give to the temperance papers in their neighborhood a hearty support. We hold no party can be successful without an organ, through which to disseminate its principles. AND ANOTHER! * We had just put the foregoing notice in type, when we received another new ally, pub lished in Providence, Rhode Island, called " The Pledge." This sheet is published by Daniel B. Dons, and devoted to the general cause. We extract the following from its columns: Every person at all acquainted, or observant of matters and things in our city, cannot but be struck with the dreadful and certain issue which awaits many of our young men, from their constant exposure to the use of strong drink. It seems almost a miracle, for a young man of generous and easy disposition, however well educated he may be, whose heart has not been under strict moral culture, to pass on and not be ruined. And in view of this fact, many persons have sent their sons from the city for a time, in order to take them from those deadly influences which surround them here at home. Dreadful, indeed, must be the state of so ciety, where parents are compelled to expa triate their children, to avoid the snares of the rumseller. On whom does the responsibilty rest for such a state of things? Certainly, on each and every person whose influence is not with the temperance cause. U* By an advertisement in the Baltimore Sun, we learn that the surviving Defenders of Baltimore, in 1814, contemplate visiting this city on the 12th September?the anniversary of the battle at North Point. Come along old chaps, we shall be happy to see you; we had the honor of belonging to the 27th, at that time, ourself. The New Orleans Picayune, of the 21st inst., states, that Maj. Gen. Lewis, of the First Di vision of Louisiana militia, responded to the call of the Governor for railing two regiments of infantry and two of riflemen, for service in Texas. The requisition will be complied with, without a resort to draught. Captain Foroo, and company, ninety odd strong, embarked for Texas on the 21st. in the steamship Alabama. Major Gally's artillery, with shot, cartridges, and field pieces, were ready to move on the Other commands of volunteers are fast Juung np, for the same destination. OOMMIXiriOATIONS. " Commingling stream# from pure toe-total Springs. For the Washingtonian. Messrs. Editors : I feel well assured thai any information on the subject of Temperance, to which you are so ardently devotedly, will be well received, and find a ready and wide circulation through your most excellent paper. I will state, for your information and the tem perance public generally, that the good and glorious cause of temperance is still on the in crease, scores upon scores in this city and neighborhood having recently signed the pledge of Total Abstinence. I have been a strict ob server of the rise and progress of this blessed cause, and I am quite sure I speak the truth, when I say that this Heaven-born cause never was in so flourishing a stale as at present. No sirs; just let any unprejudiced person examine this cause, and csntrast the most flourishing by-gone days with the present; then we had much excitement, and many signed the pledge and run well for a season, but did not hold out to the end of the race; yet we will rejoice that a goodly number have proved faithful?yea, they have borne the burdeu and heat of the day?the day of trial and persecution. And now this blessed cause is based on a founda tion that may not be moved by rum-sellers, rum-drinkers, or wicked men combined ; and now we mean to stand on the top of our 1 em perance "Pisgah, and view the land?the promised land "?a land free from the curse of Rum. Let us see how the matter stands. Let us but look over the reports from all parts of Christendom, and even over savage tribes, and hear what report says. Thousands upon thousands, yea, hundreds of thousands of our fellow men are coming up to the standard of duty, and the cry is still they come. Sirs, we have abundant cause to rejoice, and do re joice; and the prayer of every friend of Tem Derauce should be that this great moral and heavenly movement may roll on, until all man kind shall be gathered under and around the banner?the pure white Banner of Total Ab stinence; theu indeed shall the glorious day arrive, foretold in the word of the Lord, when the lion and the lamb shall lie down together, and when a young child shall lead them. Why, sirs, just look at home, what has been done, and what is still doing ? In Washington city we have three divisious Sons of Temper ance, one in Georgetown, and oue in Alexan dria ; and four Associations United Brothers of Temperance in this city, and others about to be established in Alexandria, Georgetown, Tennallytown, and other places, with more than three hundred members. You will allow me here to state, that the United Brothers, and other temperance men and women, held another glorious public tem perance meeting at Tennallytown last Sab bath. The meeting was large, and most ex cellent order prevailed, with one or two excep tions. There is, I believe, but one rum-seller in the place, and he, with his wife, who (as we used to say of some people) is a buster, at tended the meeting, and in this case, as in some others that I have known, the Grey Mare is the better horse. The Lady Rum seller?pardon me, Messrs. Editors, I did not mean any insult to the fair and better portion of God's creatures, when I said lady rumsel ler?I only wish to say of this person, that ought to be a lady, that she so far descended from that retired modesty of angel woman, as to be found openly before a large crowd of la dies and gentlemen, at the door of the house j of God, disturbing a temperance meeting. Oh! tell it not in Gath?publish it in the streets of Washington! You will remember, that a few weeks ago this same lady and gentleman had a great blow-out on a Sabbath afternoon, when the son of this mode.il lady had well nigh lo?t his life, by a stone thrown at him by one of their rum customers. But notwithstand ing all this bustle and bluster, it did not deter our champions. The meeting was addressed by the following Brothers, in a manner, and in a spirit that told well for the cause, viz: L. S. Beck, W. Moreland, Mr. Hilton, J. Wilson, and Rev. Mr. Smith ; a number of temperance odes and hymns were sung with good effect In proof of the good done, something like 25 signed the glorious declaration of indepen dence, and the best of it is, that many of them were lovely women. The Brothers have ap pointed another meeting, to take place at 3 o'clock P. M. on Sunday 7th September, to which the United Brothers of Temperance, Sons, and all other temperance men are most cordially invited to attend. It is hoped that at the next meeting the friends of Temperance will come up strong. The members of the Tennallytown Total Abstinence Society, and all others wishing to become members, are respectfully invited to meet at the Church in the grove, at 2 o'clock P. M., for the purpose of reorganizing the Society, and for the elec tion of officers for the ensuing year. It is most ardently hoped that the members, and all others feeling an interest in this good cause, will come up to give us their aid. Yours truly, A Reformed Drunkard. rdf The JUNIOR ASSOCIATION OF U. BROTHERS OF TEMPERANCE, No. 1, will meet on next MONDAY evening, at half-past 7 o'clock, at the Hall of the Northern Liberty En gine House, instead of Saturday, as appointed at the last meeting. This association respectfully in vite all young men between the age of 14 and 18, who wish to become members, to hand in their pe titions to some of the members. DAVID P. KURTZ, ' Preset J. U. B.T.

"Variety is the spice of life." A Southern Adonis, no way celebrated for his personal attractions, on completing a some what protracted toilet one morning, turned to his servant and inquired: " How do I look Caesar?" " 'Plendid, massa, 'plendidwas ebony's delighted answer. " Do you think I'll do, Caesar?" (Giving him a piece of silver.) " Guy. massa, nebber see you look so fierce iu all my life; you look jist as bold as a lion." " Whyi what do you know about a lion? you never saw one, Caesar." "Nebber see a lion, massa!

Land near.?"Can vou see land ?" inquired one of a party, who, from birtli, had shunned the acquaintance of soap and water. " Yes, sir-ree," replied a wag, withdrawing his eyes from the encircling horizon, and pla cing them on the interrogator?" Yes, sir, I see your face." ! The animated dirt mizzled. The rum bottle is the devil's crucible, in which he melts down all the fine gold of man's nature. The Temperance people of Doylestown, Pa., have organized a stock company?shares five dollars each?to establish a Temperance house in that place. A most excellent move. A Rich Town.?New Bedford contains 12,000 inhabitants, and its valuation $12,000,000, be ing $1,000 to each man, woman, and child. An inebriate of Philadelphia, named McA nulljr, on Wednesday, so injured his wife by beating, that she was taken to the hospital, and he then attempted to cut his own throat, in which he was very nearly successful. A low bred Woman.?One who stays at home, takes care of her children, and never meddles with the business of her neighbors. Species almost extinct. A sailor being summoned to give testimony before a court, was questioned by the judges as to his religious creed: " Are you an Episcopalian?" " No, sir." " A Catholic?" " No, sir." " A Methodist?" " No. sir." " What are you, then?" " I'm captain of the foretop, sir." j Butcher Killed Himself.?A butcher in Fulton Market, New York, on Saturday night about 9 o'clock, was cutting a piece of meat, when his cleaver slipped from the block and glanced into his body, in the lumbar region. He ran for a physician, but before he reached the house, he fell dead. The name of the un fortunate person was John Van Rapp. The Cleveland Herald, in giving an account of a public execution, states that " hundreds were present in women's clothes." Never was there a more deserved sarcasm. A man tried to pawn his wife the other day for half a dollar. Mr. Moijeyman told him he had better take her to a junk shop, and sell her for old junk. Great Mechanical Dexterity?It is stated of a tailor, named Metzgar, residing in a flourish ing inland town of Pennsylvania, that in one day, from from sunrise till eight o'clock, P. M. he made eleven pairs of pantaloons, two waist coats, and a round jacket for a little boy. He was obliged to keep a bowl of ice-water con stantly by him to cool his needle in. Deci dedly the fishiest yet. The Cincinnati Enquirer says, an old man, aged sixty, on the canal, was knocked down and kicked by a drunken son, against whose | evil practices he was remonstrating. The same paper furnishes the following: I Shocking.?1 Oh God! let me go home to my child!'' was the exclamation that rang in our ears night before last on 8th street, in the loud and clear notes of a woman's voice. Some poor creature was in the hands of the watch men,1'who had found her wandering in the rain, realing under the effects of liquor, and unwil ling to be conducted to her abandoned home and family. She showed the vestiges of a fine looking woman, and was, as she declared, the mother of three small children.

He says a gang of men had assembled at a drinking "house, and a quarrel and fight ensued. So desperate was the conflict, that every man in the party had his eyes gouged out, and when none could see where to strike, they would get down to the floor, feel round till they had found an eye, then replacing it in the socket, would take a squint through it, and " go at it again."
