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.

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.
