The County Press,

We greatly fear ihanhe-people of-the great weal do not patronize; as they might and could,‘ if they chose to .do so, their county newspapers—papers which,.above all others, : emy citizen should subscribe and pay' for, ami patronize by advertising and subscribing for friends and ■ distant relatives. In many " instances, persons have said to'; hS,' very kindlyV 'T would like to take my county paper, and would like to sec it prosper—every man should take his county paper, for the local news, is*c., —iuf I take the “Commercial,” and two or three other papers, and I can’t afford In take any more.”

Objections siihijar to/ litis are continually byfarmers and, others, when solicited to patronize their'local papers—and it is such actions as' these that cause such small and weakly papers to be published throughout the entire West. If the money that is yearly sent to the, East for large, stale and second-handed sheets, which Hood the west, carrying along the poisonous and immoral stories of fancy and falcelibod to almost every fireside in the country, nqd imparting the 'must dangerous doctrines to the minds of the young—if (his money ’was invested in our local papers, soon every county might boast of a large and ably conducted journal. A good local paper is of mote real value.to a family than a half dozen eastern sheets. A 'Subscriber,remarked the other day—‘>My children read your paper just as soon as it comes; while they hardly look at the 'Dollar Papcr.V" ' A paper is .worth more to a family, where,(here is children, than a quarter’s schooling.

If every man would but view ibis subject in its proper light; we are confident that our home papery—these messengers of news, morality, temperance ami'virtue '-would be much better supported.

Important Decision,

The Supremo Court, decided, Friday last, at' Indianapolis,'that portion of the liquor law submitting the question of “license or no license” to a rote of the people to bar unconstitutional, The effect of tins decision will be to permit all who may give the required bond to deal out poison in quantities to suit purchasers.

,Ji is a Utile strange ihal ilie smart men .—lawyers, doctors,<s*c. —who arc elected ami paid S3 per Jay, for passing ami regulating tows for this Stale, cannot attend to their duties without violating the Con* etitution.

The-Tehferas'ce CuAitr.-'-The State Temperance paper, formerly known as the CAar/, has been placed in the hands of R. ft, Stewart, Esq., by the committee appointed by the Grand Division for the. purpose. - Mr. S. is recommended ns a gentleman, and an able writer, and lias had experience in the publishing business, and will matte a paper worthy of extensive patronage. The .name is to be changed, the paper entarged.'at the price of $1 per year— entirety too ehtap. We presume Jt will' be published at Indianapolis, as heretofore, . P. S.—Since the above was-in type, wo have received an extra ••Cliart," stating that the new paper will be called the Temperance Union t ami the first number issued December 91st, at Indianapolis,

Accident.— rßev. T. M- Eddy, now of Drookvilie, Ind., met with an accident in Lawrenceburgli, a few days since. - He had come in on the cars and was going down die river. The steamboat Emma Dean was lying at the wharf, when the evening line boat cams along side; and as Mr. E. was running across the Emma Dean to get on the other boat, ho fell into her hull through the hatchway, which was open. The fall sprained his shoulder and oihcrwise.slighilj injured him, so that he was unablo to continue his journey. He went to.rhessnjidence of a physician and had liis -Kfgtifle^ dressed, so that he was able Jo TpusifjfflJme, in a day or two, .

Bible Presentation.— The friends of Temperance, of Lawreneeburgh and vicinity, recently presented Col. B. Dumont with a splendid ropy of the Holy Bible. The presentation ceremony was one of much interest. Rev. F. C. Holliday delivered (he presentation addressj and Cob Dumont, the donee, responded in a happy manner. Addresses were also delivered by Rev- J, IV. Sullivan, Samuel Osgood. Bsq., and.Rev. Mr. Davis.

Thomas J. Lewis, charged with shooting his cousin, Ed. A. Lewis, has been acquitted at Dinwiddle. Va. That he shot him there was no doubt, bin it was done on suspicion of improper intimacy with his wife.-.The Petotsbutgh Express says the result in this and similar cases in Virginia, settles this question —that no man who has even strong grounds to suspect that ins marital rights have been invaded, and slays the suspected invader of those rights, will ever be harmed (or so doing by a court o( justice.

[fCT- At the late term of the Court of Common Picas in Hillsboro County, N. 11., a man was tried for biting off another’s nose, last Thanksgiving Day. The Jury decided he should pay for the delicious mouthful thus obtained, the sum of 870,42, This may, therefore, be considered as the legal value of a man’s nose in IVeW Hampshire.

OCr We learn from the Vicksburg Whig of the Ist, that the total number of deaths at that place for the past three months was 440. Of these 300 were from yellow fever, and 50 from other causes.

(For the Weekly Reveille.

. Messrs, Editors:—The following address was presented and-adopted by the. World’s Temperance Convention, recently held in (few York, and as it is a production worthy of being extensively read,' and pondered by all, 1 ask. you to publish it in the ficveille. p. s. s.

ADDRESS, Frqm the Committee appointed to Report •* An Appeal to tlie Young: Itlcu of Hie Age." -

Five and twenty years ago, the men to whom this appeal is addressed were in ihetr cradles, or were -lisping their first lessons at a mother's knee. But during the next quarter of a century, the moral destiny of tho world depends upon them. The strong hands of the veteran? are, one by one, palsied by the touch of age. The voices that have sung out for God and truth are slowly passing inlo the harmo. nies of a better world. Upon your shoulders the ark of reform is henceforth to rest—in your hands tho torch of human progress is to be, borne onward. Among the sacred (tilths bequeathed to your charge is the Tcmpcraece Reformation. It owns an existence no longer than yours. Thirty years ago, this movement was restricted to a few earnest spirits, who, farther up the mount ot progress than their followers, had canght the rays of the early dawn before it had gilded the plains below. The first national organization against alcohol, was established in IB2G. Since then, the history of the Temperance reform has been a history of healthy progress—the steady movement from the unknown out into the known and well established. The first local society, with its primitive pledge against the use of ardent spirits alone —the subsequent adoption of the total abstinence principle—the Washingtonian movement —the foundation of beneficial orders like the Sons,of Temperance—the creation of political “Alliancess*’—and the enactment of laws for the entire prohibition of the deadly Ira Hie, are but the successive stages of a mighty revolution, each related to the other, and each looking to a common end. An abstract principle once confined to a few sagacious minds, has since walked into the halls of legislation, and in five sovereign States it now'" sits upon the bench of Justice, crowned with the majesty.of Law. The God of love has stood by the history of this reform from its cradle; and has guided it onward through its most critical periods. To the young menof our time it Is committed, both as a trial, and as a trust. What is it that God and humanity demand of us? What is the great question lor our practical solution! - tj-i.— -.*- gicaily err, uiai question simply 1 is—shall we, by Jehovah’s help, destroy the traffic in intoxicating poisons, or shall they destroy us r Shall we Uy alcohol m Aij grave, or permit him to lay a myriad of our comrades in their own? ShallVe consent to have the brilliant inf 1 ♦ teliects amonjr ds still longer extinguished? Shall we-permil the fair bride of to-day, -to become tho desolate widow of to morrow! "Shall we stand idly by and see the noblest of our brotherhood go down to darkness and the wo mb? Shall we suffer this 1 monster wrong to fling its hideous shadow athwart the rays that fall from Calvary itself? Or shall we, hand in hand, join in the death-grapple with the hydra? The destiny of millions hangs upon our answer.

The determination of this question tiemanils great plainness of speech, as well as earnestness in action. ‘Let us learn to speak right out. The press that is silent on this topic, deserves a place in (he cel' tars of Herculaneum. The legislator who has not studied the code of “prohibi*. lion,’* is unworthy of the seal he encumbers. The orator is to point his shafts, the voter is to aim his ballots, and the pht* 1 lanihrnpist is to direct his prayerful efforts, straight towards this, as the gtand moral! question of the age. In this warfare for humanity, we ‘‘have need of patience."-*. Wilberforce toiled through one whole generation before the British Parliament declared the slave trade to be a piracy. Opinions grow slowly. Let us put our trust in truth rather than in majorities.— The "prohibitory" law movement.was not long ago in a minority of one; but the Lord of Hosts stood wt'h that man. and together they, were an over match for ail that wete against them. Galileo, with his telescope, and Celumbos with his compass, each stood up against the world; hut they both, at last, brought over the world to their positions. May it not be also that before this century, closes, the law of Maine may become the law of Chiistendom! We hare learned from the past not to be intimidated by the oposilton of numbers. Popular sentiment breaks forth lp-day, like a mountain torrent, and swells into sudden, inundations, but tomorrow the channel is dry as summer dust, .Truth, on the other, hand, is like the unsounded ocean, when deep calleib unto dqep at the Jehovah. “And if the. weight of ignorance or prejudice copies down to veil it for a.time, it is still there,.beatjog pu with (he same victorious pulse, and wailing for the day.’V * Comrades in this glorious warfare! wc

are compassed about with a great cloud of witnesses. Humanity beckons ns on* ward. We tread upqb ltte.il us t ofliefoes as we advance. While-robed L<Jve, float* ing in mid*air before leads id the conflict; The .shouts'- of hbo -tfanaoroed are in nur tents, and the voice of praise makes music amid our banners. Let us' press forward with pur age. Let us weave a burnished link ip the history of our country. ■ I.cl us He down to our rest nearer the goal of human perfection.— Let os find 'iri~cur toils an etcr : exciting stimulus—an ever, fresh delight. So shall our posterity bo. cheered, by filial sup which shall shine with a seven-foldlustre,as the light of seven days, v ' : . . , /i

Though we arc* bnTlwo or three/ : \ ■ Sure of triumph we should be; 11 We our promised land shall see, ! - Though the way seem long. Every fearless wurd we speak / .

SENATOR RRiatlT's POSITION.

Xliia geniie man’s hostility to the Admin* iMralion lias been well known to. all in Washington ever _ since the patronage of the General Government in Indiana was divided out. Indeed*-even long before that look pl&M—that is/ immediately after it was concluded that Governor McClelland should be called to the bead of the Interior Department—the Senator became (to the knowledge of hundreds who saw behind the curtain} evidently dissatisfied with the turn things seemed*to be taking. U will he remembered that he was, perhaps more vehemently urged for that position than either, of the twenty-fire or thirty gentlemen whose friends kindly volunteered to select for . Pierce by long odds the most suitable man for the place. But he was not a very thorough ami-ad-ministraiionitc aa far as we c*n learn until after the Indiana patronage was divided out. Ilia, friends received a full share, (is true; one or two appointments were made from the other wing' on the solicitation of Governor Wtight and Senator Pettit, it is presumed, which wire notoriously : extremely offensive/ to the lion. Senator B, Ail Washington rang with accounts of dissaiisfacuon^ with them when made^‘and we have‘never yet heard of the'first wbrd from him sounding ns though he had become'reconciled to this Executive action over his opposition. Thus, the stale of his settled feelings being appreciated, no .one here 1 is astonished to find in the N. Y. National Democrat and Herald strong calculations per telegraph, that he will prove io be in opposition at the opening of the session. We have nojdea however, (hat hs will take a vehement position in debate against the President. For" in Vhe first place, lie has been,’emphatically, up to this time, one of the strictest Democratic party men uow in public life, all his instincts being notoriously in strict accordance with (he general policy of the-Administration. In the next place, his colleague, Mr, Peitli, who, when in the {louse, was admitted m be among the readiest and able speakers of the body, though not famed for effectiveness in carrying - his points, will like nothing better than to. find v him (BJ ••cutting up” after such a. fashion. We venture to assert / that if Senator Bright essays any thing like a championship of those professing Democrats who desire to war on the Administration, Senator John Pettit will prove not only to be .as able ready and adroit as ever in debate but ten times as discreet in his’ legislative statesmanship as when formerly in public life at Washington.- .
