Temperance. , •*. Under* this. head the Reveille of last week has'an article which rends very much Hko "tho sober second thought.’' It does not advocate total abstinence, or prohibition, hut “some, restraint" upon the "liquorlraffio,” that will"roociva tho endorsement of a majority of tho people;’* for "without this approval of the masses, no law can be tuccestfuUy enforced in this country." There is common sense in this language. Its' doctrine is practi* cable. It ia precisely, the ground that has heen ’tsken fay all common ten « temperance men from the ‘ commencement of the : temperance reformation, up to this time. But ten years ago the .tomperonco fanatics and temperance politicians wooed and wed, and though professing total air etmenee, they brought forth Maine Laws —Ecarchji.seirurc, confiscation' and destruction. Their fruits were seen everywhere/ north and south,.cast and west. — But thank God, reason has'resumed her throne in many an honest head that had been crazed by the New York, Tribune and its aiid.fialolitcs. ;. * : ; \

• Since the above article ou Temperance was written, a sad event has.happened in this Town. Yesterday ( Sunday ) about 4 o'clock, some ten or fifteen boys, from ten to fifteen years of age "made ap a purse", and sent orieof their natfiber to one of-our grogshops (we are cursed with three) and bought several quarts of bad whiskey, upon which most of. tbeui got intoxicated, and several of them quite drunk. One.of them, named Albert Driver, died this morning about 10 o’clock. Ho was ten years old lost November. The older boys got the whiskey encouraged, and even urged tho younger ones to drink; Albert did not speak after five o’clock last night. A Coroner's Inquest is now sitting, which will report, I suppose, in detail, the facts, above stated. This is a sad lesson on grogshops, and however' painful. Will do more' to 'dry them up than'all the temperance lectures ever delivered in the place, . Before the passage of the Maine law ; there was not a doggery in Town, or any place where men, much less hoys, could get liquor on {Sunday, or by 'the small, on any day. Sinn: the passage of that law wo have had three nearly all the lime. But I will do two of the Town groceries‘the justice to I do not believe they would sell to drunkards or hoys on any day of the week. But Jacob Ilorrisckar (I don’t know whether this spelling of the Sir name be right or not) it seems has no scruples about selling on Sunday, or any other day, to anybody that can furnish a half dime, or more. This little one-horse town has a had name abroad, arid not a very good one at homo, but it really is no worse than other little river towns, between Pittsburgh and Louisville. Much ‘ the larger proportion of tho people are intelligent, industrious and respectable, and regret the gross depravity of the few, whoso bad characters ought not to bo taken, at homo or abroad, as the rule, hut as the exception to the rule, as they are in all other places, t*. 1

We understand tho Seneca County Bank at Tiffin has closed Its doors.

Many banks have failed recently, which have hot yet been noted in the Bank Nolo Reporters. In this list are the Rhode Island Central Bank, tho Fanners* Bank of Wickford, the Tiverton Bank, the War wick Bank, the Arcade Bank, at Provi deuce-—all Rhode Island institutions; and tho following banks are .-refused by. the Eastern brokers; Bank of Middletown; .Warren County Bank, Fanner’s ami Drover’s Bank, and Honesdalo Bank—all of Pennsylvania; in addition to which are the Bank of Kanawha, Vai, Mercantile Bank, llarlftml, Ct., the Merchant’s Exchange Bank; several of tho Maryland banka, Farmer’s Bank of Saratoga, North American Bank, Connecticut, the Ontario and Fort Plain Banks ol Now York, arc held in doubt. - The public should beware. A dispatch from Now York states that the "Sackcti’a Harhor.Bauk” was thrown ont in that city. ■ *?.• The Agricultural Bank of Tennessee is thrown out everywhere, and is looked upon as nearly worthless. : NewYocr, Ang. 29; —At wood & Co., hankers,! with largo Western connection, have failed.

The -Agricultural Society. The Cookyry vs. Tmt Tows.

In May aadJubo Inst, when the question of a separation of the Ohio and Switzerland was being agitated, the Revkiua: advocated a dissolution, but did so in mild aiid.gcu* erous terms, using no abusive or insulting language, and making no charges or insinuations against nuy of those con* nccled,with the Society. It w|ill also, be remembered that others pursued a dilterant course, and thereby not only defeated the object they had in view, but cicatcd a feeling of enmity and bitterness against Yevay, in the minds of scores of persons throughout.the coiipty. These men were dictated to, and told that evay was determined to have a I 1 air ofjher oun, and attempts were made to intimidate the members of tbo Society living in the hack and upper portions of the county by language someth ing like litis: V IajI noman date vote against a dissolution,' etc., etc. And furthermore, the fanners were represented and published as a class of persons "who make the eagle •squeal' Itfafi Idling it past thmigh their hamh." Again, it was said and published, in regard to the failure of the scheme of tho dissolution of the two counties, that •‘*heu at last the vote was taken on tho “original resolution, a person couldn’t **«e it, it was so beclouded.

The Revei lle admits (hat if the "liquor traffic he right and proper,there should be no' other; restraint placed upon it than that placed upon merchants and dealers in other .articles of traffic; if the liquor traffic lie wrong it is not right for the Stale to hccomo a party in it, and for a certain sum of money allow and encourage, the wrong.—And it is well known that thus far the Maine law, or other laws ot prcliibiiicn, have failed to accomplish the gratifying results anticipated by the warmest, friends of the movement. Of the' many Slates adopting a prohibitory jaw, we beHovc not one retains such nn act upon its atdlnlo book," V I think this Is a mistake. All the Now England.Staicp;^exceptMaine/ and perhaps New •Hampshire, util! retain the Maine Law, upon their statute boobs, and perhaps some other States, though it has every where been repudiated bylhe Courts or tho people. Or .both. It. is tiow nowhere enforced.-' Public opinion is so openly and so unmistakably and so overwhelmingly* against it that where it has riot yet been repealed it is a dcad letter. Politically it "is as dead ns Julius CjuEarV—"twice dentt. and! plucked up by the roots," Sambo repudiates »t at the north, and Sam spits in its lace at the south. What then con be done to further the cause of Temperance and humanity ? The answer is plain. "All men note adflirt the necessity of placing some restraint upon the liquor traffic.” Yw, and they aticays did admit it. But, there is a wide dilfurcnce between the Maine; law, and "some restraint.” Well, what restraint are all.men in favor of?- What nil men are in favor of can bo pone. What.then is it?. Answer;—All men are in favor of prohibiting grog shops.— tho hells on earth, and under the earth, where drunkards are manufactured, and robbed of their health, reason, anti money., This ’ whs the design of the law pf 1853, which is now in force. Under that law there was not a grogshop in the county, arid they wore rapidly going out. all over tho Stated, This is a pretty good-law*. , It has some faults, and needs some amendments, which experience will suggest arid make. A law tbit should declare all grog shops public nuisances, and subject them to the laws that abate, public nuisances, would kill every ouo in the State/in one year. It would, perhaps, bo necessary to define what would constitute a grog shop, something after this fashion, vis: " A place where intoxicating liquors are sold or given away to bo drank in or about tho premises, or sold at all in any quantities less than a quart, except .for medicinal, mechanical, or culinary purposes." Licensed hotels selling to their.guesls, to bo excepted. Iq addition, it would be ji roper to punish drunkards. The law need not contain more than, three or four short sections. • :
