don Thursday morning,-and reaches must all parts of the county, the same day. The latest news, both by telegraph and mail, is always found in its columns, together with the Markets, Stale and County news, ami we occasionally receive an original and interesting letter Com Washington City, givipg the business going on there m a tangible and authentic shape. In undertaking the task of firmly establishing an independent newspaper here, we have many difficulties to contend with, We have from some quarters, we regret to say, met with open and hostile opposition: from other directions we liava been denounced and misrepresented; but, as a general thing, otir enterprise has received the cordial support and good wishes of the public generally. The prejudice that has. heretofore existed throughout this community, against the. paper here, is fast dying out. When the paper came into our hands, it was. circulated almost entirely among ihe members - of the democratic party, and* owing to ils strict parly bias, received its support almost entirely .from that party —buCit gives us pleasure to stale, that the paper circulates now among whigs ns well as democrats: among the bards as well as softs; in fact, the circulation is becoming general throughout the county, which shows plainly that the enterprising and industrious people of this community will patronize their county paper, if conducted upon the platform of INDEPENDENCE.
Owing to the generous support we arc receiving from the good men of all parties, and being confident of the, continued and increased suppprt.of .citizens of this and the surrounding counties, wo have con • eluded to greatly enlarge the paper at the expiration of the present volume, so that it will compare favorably with any paper in the State/ We would -like very well to be able to put it in hew and plain type, but that will depend upon the substantial encouragement we receive previous to that time. It lakes a great deal of money to pttrehasa new presses and new type, but if all those wno owe us for subscription (o this and prcvions volumcs would come and pay up, we would be able to make the contemplated improve then is vyilb ease. It is to the interest of all our readers to have it enlarged, and we hope, therefore, that every person who is indebted to the office will call and settle widiin three months from, this time; and should any friends, having die money to spare, be willing lo pay for the next volume a little in advance, we would deem it an especial favor.
Although trie expenses of the office will be increased to almost double what they now.are, there will be no advance in the subscription price. Printing paper is constantly advancing in price, as well as labor, flour, meat, coffec—in fact, every thing we use is getting higher, but we cannot, raise the price of subscription and advertising.
To persons living in the back part of this county, and in iiipley county, many inducements areoffered fur them to subscribe for the licvcitU. Dy it they will receive later markets and news than by any other channel. It circulates free of postage within Switzerland county, A subscriber living in this county, although lie may get Ilia paper at a post-office out of the enumy, is entitled to receive the Reveille free. Out of the county; the postage is thirteen cents a year. The price, where neighbors club together, is §1 per atjnum.

Primers desiring new materials would do well to call on them, on Second street, between Sy corpora and Broadwayi‘ Cincinnati, Ohio.
(Kr.We are indebted to Mr. Wm. B. Sullivan, the gentlemanly clerk of the steamboat John G. Cline, for late papers during the past weak. The Cline is running m connection with the Wisconsin, in the Madisomand Cincinnati line; She is new, and we think.she is a good boat to (ravel on. ;,

Advance Payments.
Experience leaches us that advance payments are ihe only sure basis upon .which to conduct a public newspaper.— Seeding out papers all over the in.many instances to persons unknown to □9, we frequently lose a whole year’s subscription, which takes off ihe profit of many subscriptions. At the low price we furnish the paper, it hardly pays the expense of publishing it. even if we get all our dues—and when we lose a part of it. every one must see that it is a losing business.
Advance payments arc better for both patrons and publishers. A subscriber can sit down by his pleasant fire and read his ,ywn paper with a clear conscience, while if he is reading tho publisher's paper, bis conscience is uneasy.
At the expiration of the present volume we purpose adopting the cash principle entirely, so far as subscription is concern-ed-regarding it as the only sure plan of conducting the printing business. No paper will be mailed from the office until paid for,'and at the expiration of the time paid for,* will be slopped, unless another payment ts made.

[For the Weekly Reveille. Facts for Tax Payers.
The undersigned were appointed to ex* amine the County Records and ascertain the expenses to the County, occasioned by Intemperance, directly or indirectly,— We find it difficult to ascertain the full amount of expenses; hence we hare taken only those items that can bo relied on and that cannot be called in question, prefer* ing to underestimate, rather than over estimate. '
The figures that we present arc laken from the Auditor’s Hooks, and cover a period of *l* years, from Jan. Ist, IS-U), to Doc. Ist. li-53. i We give the whole expenses of certain items, and the proportion of them caused by intemperance, directly and indirectly, from the best information we can get.— Even the proportion that we give is found to be less than in cuuniies where the exact facts can be obtained. We submit the following expenses;
Criminals £1,050,62; 0-10 caused by Intemperance, making - - $073,56. Paupers 3,91-1,43; J caused by Intemperance, making * - - - 2,935,33 Grand Jurors, 1,023,36; caused by Intemperance - ... - - 1,033,36
liailiDs, $60,C0; I caused by Intemperance, making - - - - - 215,00 Coroners, 383,64; j caused by Intemperance, making - r 97,16 Total $7,266,03, for-4i years; caused bv Intemperance, §5,242,91. Average expense for one year, §1,165,09,
The above criminal expenses do not cover the expenses of boarding our prisoners abroad, which'is no small item,— Also, in the Pauper expenses, no account is taken of the rents of the Pour Farm, which should be added to the current expenses. It is not meant lim three-fourths of the poor are intemperate, but that more than three- fourths of them have been brought into that.condition by the intemperance and idleness of those on whom they were dependent.
All the Grand Juror's business is not caused by intemperance, but in (he above estimates no account is taken of petit juror’s fees in trying cases caused by intemperance, which will more than make up the deficiency. In the above estimates,’ no account is taken of Court expenses, specific allowances, and • witness fees, which are generally unpaid. We have not.even alluded to the enormous private expenses, where the numerous poor are supported by the charily of friends,s—lawyers 5 —lawyers fees and other expenses attendant upon the higher courts, and also the numerous cases'bclore' Justices of the Peace. The expenses which we present, 105,09,) we believe to be lar below the real amount, and they must be yealry met by lire honest (ax payers of Switzerland county. How long shall these things continue?

[Correspondence of the Reveille. LETTER FROM WASHINGTON.
Washington, Feb. 1, 1831.
Since my last communication, events of an interesting and exciting nature have transpired.' Instead of the contemplated debate on the "Nebraska Bill,” which was to have commenced on the 23d ultimo, Mr. Douglas has introduced amendments to the original bill, by which, instead of one—two territories arc created —Nebraska and Kansas. The rpa»on assigned for this change, is that within the limits of the bill as first reported, was included a part of die Cherokee country, and which met with decided opposition from the Texan Senators; the amendments further contain a direct averment ihai'the Sib section of (he act prepaiatoiy in the admission of Missouri into the Union, whereby slavery was forever excluded from all that pari of Louisiana north of 3G deg. 30 mm., and not included in Missouri—"was superceded by the principles of the legislation of 1850, commonly called the Compromise Measures, and is declared inoperative.”
The only difference between the amendment of Senator Dixon to the ’original bill, and dial of Senator Douglass, is that the former admits, by implication, the existence and efficacy of the provisions of the Compromise of 1820, and aims at their repeal; whilst the latter declares it has no vitality, and has already been substantially repealed by the Compromise of 1850.
Should this bill pass, it will virtually repeat die Missouri Compromise of 1820, and restore the Government and Territory of the U. S. to their original position, and abolish that odious line of demarcation be* (ween the North and South, This was the tendency of Gen’l Cass’s Nicholson letter. It is useless to deny the power of Congress to legislate on slavery in the Territories; moral right of that body is denied, to touch the subject out* side the District of Columbia. It is contended (bat the framers of the Constitution df the U. S. intended to leave the subject of slavery a local question, to be governed entirely by local authorities, and Congress would be following the .spirit of the Constitution by leaving (he question of slavery in the several Territories open to the action of the Territorial Legislatures.
Sucti is uiulcistood to be tl)c view of the bill of Mr. Douglass, and should it pass such will doubtless be the effect of its operation. Adopt the principles of this bill as a fundamental law, so far as is possible by Congress, and it would at once put an end to the introduction of slavery into National Politics. Have it understood that Congress is not to legislate on the subject, in any event, and the country will be restored to its original harmony on this subject. Destroy (lie Missouri Compromise amt it will be an end of all need of Comptomises oa the slavery question, which cannot be compromised, in fact. It is contended that those who opposed the admission of Missouri as a slave Stale were wioog, and the Compromise, with Ihitt wrong, has been the source ol all the mischief which ha? resulted from throwing the.question of slavery into congressional debates.— Repeat this Compromise, and place the question back in its original position, and the Politics of the nation will once more assume an exalted and comprehensive sphere, and the people of (he Union wilt know “no North, no South, no East, no West, but one common country and one common brotherhood.** There seems to be little doubt but the bill will pass the Senate; it will command the support of every southern State fexcept Delaware, Texas, pan of Tennessee, and North Carolina,) and of California, Indiana, Illinois, New Hampshire, and New Jersey, and probably one from Pennsylvania. It is said that Mr, Everett, of Mass., will support the bill, though not certain. Many will hesitate before they cast ilieir influence for or against it; being no political measure, it will receive the support of both Whigs aod tyemocrats, and vice versa. It will no doubt rouse all the anti-slavery feeling throughout the country, unless the debates will show to the peeple that the passage of the bill will in no wise increase slave territory; and many believe this wilt be the case. On Monday last, Mr. Douglass delivered .the opening speech upon his Nebraska bill, and such a speech has not been heard in the Senate since the memorable days of 1850. by Clay and others. He has gained for himself a reputation,'as a powerful and accomplished orator, rarely surpassed. He hasouistiiped the fondest anticipations of his friends, and completely overwhelmed his opponents; his reply to the circular of Chase, Sumner and other abolitionists of the Senate and House, was scathing and triumphant; he did not leave them a plank whereon to stand; and then his remarks upon the fads and figures of his bill, were most conclusive; so completely. did he vindicate the justice and sound policy of bis bill, that it is conceded to be unanswerable. Mr. Chase who had prepared himself to reply to Mr. Douglas, was reluctantly compelled to ask to have the further consideration of
the bill postponed to Friday next, before
he can venture a reply. _ Whatever tnayj [be the fate of this hilt, certain it is Mr. 1 fPuuglasa’s fate as to the future, as a pol-; 'itiejan anti a candidate for the Presidency, idcpcnds upon it; if it pais ti he will most 1 certainly ho the next President; if it'fail, j ht's political death is no (ess certain. r I cannot refrain from relating a good i anecdote of Col, Benton, in connccuon j with the "Nebraska Bill.” Being at a dinner parly,'the conversation turned upon that subject; a gentlemen remarked to the Colonel, that he had not heard an expression of opinion from him on Mr. Douglas and his bill—"aid no, gentlemen,*' said the colonel. “1 have not; lie reminds me of an old farmer who had an unruly bull, gentlemen; the bull had a habit of jumping very high, aud running at people, beanies other disagreeable and troublesome tricks; so one day the‘old farmer went out to shoot the bull; his negro man enquired what he was going to dot "Going to kill the bull," replied he; "going to kill the bull, eambn,” Whereupon sambo rejoined, “what for yongoiug to shoot the bull, massat dat aim no use, he jump so high he break his neck," (rom which every one concluded that the Colonel is opposed to the bill, and is disposed to leave Air. Douglas to bis.fate. M- Bodisco, the" Russian Minister, died on tiro 33d ult., and was hurried on the 25th, with great pomp and ceremony. The President, Secretaries, Congressmen, the Diplomatic corps, and a multitude of citizens, attended the funeral. His .remains were intered in the Georgetown cemetery, ;.Hls widow is an American lady, with whom he became enamoured from her gteat beauty; she was the daughter of a poor widow, lady: he, the accredited Representative of the most powerful: government in the world; she had seen but about sixteen summers,—he had weathered about fifty five Russian winters; she was all grace and beauty: he the very personification of ngliness, U is said that his first meeting with .her was on a wet and stormy day, when on his way home in his splendid carriage, with his Uvcted servants in attendance; he overtook Iter on her return, home from school, on foot, and embarrassed with the rain and mud; he ordered his coachman to stop and took her-up and carried her to her moth* era door; he was struck with her beauty, aud resolved to marry her, if he. could; his wealth and importance no doubt being his principle recommendations in this instance. lie leaves six children; the eldest, a boy, is now in Russia, whither his wid--oiv, it is said, will go. Miss Lucy Stone, the‘celebrated lecturer ,on ••woman’s rights,’- lias been here lecturing. She did not succeed in drawing such crowded houses as-she did out west. I did not - hear her, but am told she is a fine speaker, rather attractive, I suppose from the fact,, that she dresses in the "Bloomer costume.** 1 must confess that my.prejudices against that costnine has been pm to the test sincc l have seen Mrs. Miller, the daughter of the; Hon. Gerrit Smith, of N, Y„ attired in that style, and contrasted it with (he manner in which the elite and fashion of this city dress, when'attending.the levees ol (he President and his cabinet officers. This costume" is far preferable, to the shameless low neck , and bare arm fashion with which the ladies now dress, both in point ol neatness and appropriateness; and yet some of these—-bare neck, and arm ladies, would cry out shame if a lady were to be seen dressed op a la JUoomer —but there is no accounting for tastes, , The mission of the Pope’s nuncio. Be* dini, to this country is being directed to another channel, it is now understood that his visit to this country, had more in it than simply an interchange of goodfteU mg 1 on the part of the Pope with the President, and it is generally understood that he has made some efforts' lo gel our Gov* etument to recognise him as the representative of the Pope, as a spiritual ruler. It is stated that he presented himself as the representative of the "Head of the church, * and that Mr. Marcy promptly informed him that we in this country do not know any "Head of the church.” Bedini left, much disappointed that he did not receive the official recognition he desired, and he even threatened to visit on our representative at Rome retaliatory measures for .the want of proper respect shown his SoVreign,:The Pope, by our Government. *"■

The Militia Obce More.
Messrs. Editors! — Not long since I sent you a short article on. the' subject of the new law, for the reorganization of the Militia ol this State, in which—ill-ad-vised man that 1 ventured to insinuate that our Stale Legislature had acted like men who fell they should do something (or their per diem allowance of $3,00, and that the Governor might
have vetoed such a law without very dis-
astrqtta consequences.
Immagine how small 1 must.have fell, when lately taktng op a CHicicnaii £nquirer 1 found that the subject I had treated with so much levity,-was one of vast importance. An election had taken place in Cincinnati; a Brigadier General ol Militia had been elected, - 1 am sorry 1 have not the paper by mt*. or 1 would give you the Editor’s remark?, verbatim. But' he tell? ns that, notwithstanding the important day was pregnant with the fine of empires, jet the sun actually rose'at its accustomed hour—that (lie day passed off quietly; but, when the grand result was given, an election had taken place and Major had received 1 19 voles, and Capt. 18 votes;.majority for Major , one vote—that immediately on this, he had with trembling haste worked off a large edition of an Extra and char let ed a nine-boiler horse-ferry boat, to carry the news to all the world and the rest of mankind; blow the tonjon— strike the hogag—the country is safe. This reminds toe of training days of old, as described in Salmagundi: Panta ra rare braysjhe trumpet; rubadub roars the drum; hurra, shouts the ragamuffin, * :
Messrs. Editors, one feature of this new Milida Law; is that it was concocted by a Court Martial, and 1 ’ wonder what our Supreme Court (which has just decided that neither corporate authorities or the people have any right to forbid the dealing out of. poison to stupified inebriates) to this bill of pains and penalties, as drawn up by .a few martinets! Be that as it may. I sliall never again attempt to shoot folly ar it flies. Our town, in spite of all 1 can say, wilt be turned into a camping ground, to'the great delight of keepers of doggeries and little boys. , So rub up every rusty old gun—same is getting scarce in the woods—but nevertheless you must attend, armed and equipped, as the law directs—fur what is utility, except to an -Utilitarian.

Mr.’ Olds also urged the importance, of acting on tills bill, in order to meet ;lhe disturbances at Erie, He spoke only as the chairman of the Committee on Post Offices, and said he kriew nothing of the merits of the question at issue; between Pensylvania and the Railroad Company, and hail no feeling either way. except that the mails shoold not bedetained. * Air. Ritchie observed that it was doubt* ful whether Congress had the constitutional power to act on the subject. There are already laws in existence fot punishment of obstructions of the mails, but the intention or effect of this bill was not to protect the mails, but under this cover to assume the 'attitude that where (her is a fundamental invasion of a State, ty a mail company, without a charter, and an attempt be made to remove this evil, it would be construed into a criminal offence by the bill now belore House.
The patlof the railroad track taken up belongs to a fraudulent cumpauy, as decided by the supieiue Court of Peusylvania, and the Circuit Court of the United States.

He said during a debate fn 1850 on Compromise acta, the idea was never broached, or hinted at by either Southern or Northern men, friend or opponent, that lhc Missouri Compromise in .any way was superceded or effected. < The late "distinguished ' Senator from Kentucky, who reported the bill, never advanced in debate, in committee, in die Senate, or-in convention, in or out of (he Senate, any such idea; although tlie Sen-, alor from Illinois had vainly endeavored lu bring i the dead in support of his position.. He appealed ip all who' were in the Sen. ate during those'memorable agitations of 1850, .whether they had (ben or since, un- : til this bill wan introduced, ever dreamed that Missouri’s' compromise.was repealed by the’acl‘pr Itso.
