Accident to the J. M. Niles

Un last Monday the steamboat J. M. Niles, while descending the Falls at Don-' isville, fiite Indiana struck the rock and began to leak rapidly. When it was discovered by the captain,.the boat wis steered for the Indiana shore, but -he was filling with water so rapidly that not much headway was made, when she struck. again and swung round. At this time one of the barges she had in tow. with all the passengers on board, broke loose and, parted from the wreck just in time to escape the (ailing chimneys; the boilers and deck freight was alhhrown into the river by the boat striking; the cabin then floated off with enme passengers or. hoard. No lives were lost. The two barges, with the hull, was saved h\ the Franklin Pierce and landed at New Albany.

Tl:c Sons ol Temperance.

The organizations of Sons of lempernnee are doing a great work throughout this county and State. They may be considered as standing at the head of the nruhihitory law movements no nr going on throughout the country. 'l'hcy generally are the best men in ih&porotminily. ami many of them have j-ibored earnestly for many yfiars, in promulgating a Knowledge of temperance principles, and - ip holding up to public view dtp ruinous effects ol intemperance,.

The order, in this county, is in a very prosperous condition; in point of number and influence, the order is gaining ground daily. The initiation fee" is only Sl.and the dues only five cents per week; si* thru every person of 18 years and upwards, possessing a good moral character, pi ay become a member without allowing too heavily upon their purse.

Cotilrovei-t Tliem,

Wc understand that some of the opposcra of temperance doubt some of the facte we Lava . been r giving for the last two nr thice munth-f, in regird to'the ruinous effects'of intoxicating liquor upon the human system, as well as the fads given in regard to the taxes caused by liquor. , We would say, that if the facts given are not true, lei them be contradicted and published. We will gladly publish any defence the opposers of temperance may puke, if a re sponsible person is the author. Sj bring along your defence, gentlemen: the people always {ike to hear loth sides.

Teini>craiice Convention.

In accordance with the recommendation of the Stale Temperance fJonyemion, the people of this county have decided to hold a Temperance Mass .Meeting at All. Sterling, on Saturday; March. 1 1. Owing to the way the canvass was going on )n this county, the time recommended by the State Convention was passed by unheeded. Let it be borne in mind, then, that a general Mass Temperance .Meeting will be held at Ml. Sterling. - Ladies as well as gentlemen arc invited to attend. Much business of importance will be transacted at this meeting and a general attendance is expected.

(£7* We call attention to an article from Prof. Larrabcc, Superintendent of Public Instruction, on the subject of the special School Tax—from which it will be seen thatthe School Law is valid, and that dip taxes will fme to be collected. The article may be found on the first page.

We have received a communication on the sime subject, but it came too late—it will appear next week.

A Good PJalform.

Some cl the temperance men about .Alt. Sterling have adopted'the following platform»lo-wji:

Resolved, That no prohibitory law will satisfy the Temperance sentiment of this Slate which dues not contain the principles of seizure, confiscation aqJ destruction of liquors |i'ept (or illegal sale. Resolved, Thai the principles fqr which we contend are and have been recognised by all civilized Governments, as well as the Divine Government, as fundamental to the existence and well being of Society. Resolved,' That attached as we am to our respective political parties, we have no disposition to interfere with their organization; bnt we distinctly declare, that we will not vote for any candidate for the legislature ‘of any party who is not fully committed in favor of the principles avowed in the two preceding resolutions. olutions adopted at the Slate Convention.

We the undersigned, citizen? and voters of Switzerland conniy, Ind., pledge ourselves that we will be governed in our actions and voles by the sentiments set furih in the above resolutions, as taken from those adopted at the late State 1 etn* perance Convention.

If the prohibitory law men in every heighborhcod in the county would do likewise, it would diown the aspirations of several politicians in this region.

[For the Weekly Reveille. ••Facts tor Tux Fayt’is.-’

And wliai think the tax payers of the facts! Are they willing u> fool such a bill every year, and make no complaints about it! Or will they net. by voice and by vole, protest against it as needless and unjust 7 A (tired lax of SMG3, in a population of-!3.0C0. is no inconsiderable assessment upon the honest industry of Old Switzerland. Site should see to it that a tax of nine cents to each Inhabitant or upwaids of fifty cents .to each lax payer—counting 2300 tax payers in the county—is levied for some useful purpose. If it is.not, she should immediately demand a release front it. -

The committee —a.coramillcc of intelligent, responsible men—say that pauperism and ciime arc the direct occasion of it. "And What is their producing cause! The liquor traffic, They are part of ihfc handiwork of a small aristocracy of our citizens —as vile as it is small—who are engaged in the disreputable business of relating liquor, to ijicir fellow men- But is not their trade, in the main, full of moral and social blessings to the country, and are not pauperism and profanity, profligacy ' opd 'crime,"connected with it merely by accident and only as excep nuns to the general rule! No, It is not only linked with these evils, hut with vices of all kinds, sizes and colore, here and everywhere, always and inseparably. Like every other tree it "biings forth fruit aftef its kind,” and its fruit is as biller as gaol, and as poisonous as the Upas. Its very shads i 8 deadly, and no plant possessing ifie least moral beauty, can flourish beneath or around it. It is productive of such nnmixed evil that good men are every where crying opt for the Maine Law axe and mattock to uproot and destroy it. They are tired of fencing around it with old fashioned license laws, or of trying to girdle it with the little dull, broken-handled hatchet which our last legislature gavp us, and now they are determined to dig it up, root and branch, so that it shall no more impoverish the soil or pollute the atmosphere of our State.— And have they not a right to do it! Surely, the facts published by the committee warrant and call for the striking of a speedy and deadly blow'. Since the past and present testify that the tree and its wretched and abundant fruit always go together, they may—they ought to demand the destruction of the former in order to prevent the latter. A small company of citizens have no right to entail such a hurtleq upoq others for the sake of their own profit. True, the lax is not oppressive by reason of its amount. — Neither was the }ea tax, which our finefathers would not pay. And why not! Because, in the manner in which it was Itsvisd, it was unjust. And is qol our liquor tax as qnjqsi in purpose a? their tea tax was in manner.

A* Americans who lovo the principle oj'"no taxation withoqt representation," wo will pay the liquor lax in accordance with the law which our representatives have made us. BuV'we ought tl the same lime in it and ask protection at tbpir hands. I us an iq/raciion of jo si rights to license or even allbwi few men w mskrptupers and criminals, and then cornper ibe whole'community to share the expense of keeping and'convicting, thorn. Such has been' the principle of legislation upon this subject; but .such not long continue to be. A reform is at people will it, and will

hareit. Prohibition is now the policy, bdO prohibitory law the question; and

who can doubt how it will be ultimately settled? Liquor sellers are trembling tike Belteshaz?ar, as they seejheir doom pen* ned by the unseen hand ot public Sentimcnt, in the fearful words, "you are weighed ip the balances ami found wanting.” Temperance men are hopeful and confident of success. They written in their hook ot resolutions 1. That we need a prohibitory law. 2. That we can execute it, 3. That we will have it.

May they toon be copied from the honk of resolutions, and recorded in the "Book of Acts.** CLINTON.

(Correspondence of the Reveille. LETTEIt FUO?l WASHINGTON

Washington, Feb. IQ, 185-1.

Messrs. Editors:—We now have still another amendment to the Nebraska Bill, presented by Mr. Douglas, the effect of which is to acknowledge the powgr to exist in the Territorial Legislature to legislate upon all needfuls objects, which will include the subject of slavery, and consequently that question like all others nf a local nature, will be left to the peopie themselves in their ty,, to decide whether there; shall, be slavery or not in their borders. The amendment declares that it is, “The true "intent and meaning of this Act, not to "legislate slavery into any Territory or "State, or to exclude if therefrom, bpl to "leave the people thereof :perfectly free to "regulate their domestic affairs in their "own way—subject only to the Constitution of the United States. 1 * This amendment will do away with much opposition, as U is so self-evidently just in itself, at t|te same time it will admit ol but one construction, a plainness which did not exist before this amendment was adopted. The debate upon the subject is now progressing and the excitement is considerable, bill it is thought nothing to what it will be when the.bill comes up for consideration in the House; then i|is feared wilt be witnessed al) the bitterness and-hostility which existed between the two sections of the country ip 1Q50; but [ hardly think it can ho worked up to so high a point.' An effort will be made to put the bill on its passage without permitting much latitude to debate; however much I am opposed to the gag which is usually resorted to by the majority, in this instance 1 think it would be best for the country that a vote, be taken on it at is early a day as possible; for no matter what amount of debate is had, or lime consumed in the consideration of the subject, the result will be the same; and if brought to a speedy vote, much precious lime may be saved thereby, Contrary to report, Mr, Everett, ol Mass., has de~ dared his opposition to the Bill, in a speech replete with rhetorical skill and beauty of diction; yet it Is conceded that he did not maintain his high reputation as a statesman, or) this subject, failing ak he did to successfully answer Mr. Douglas' arguments.. Messrs. Chase and Wade, of Ohio, and Smith, of Conn-, have each delivered speeches against the measure; the former gentleman, it is admitted, has made the most powerful effort as yet, and has covered nearly the whole opposition to the measure. Gen. Houston, of Tcj(as. opposes the Bdl, and bases his principle objection to it on the grounds of infringement of treaties with the Indians inhabiting a portion of the territory. It is anticipated that a vote wilt be had in the Senate this week upon this all absorbing subject, The recent treaty contracted by Mr. Gadsden, our Minister to Mexico, is al present a mailer of much interest and curiosity. It is understood to have been sent to the Senate, confidentially, a lew days ago, with several suggested amendnteuis by the President. The confir idenijal manner in wh;ch it was receiv* iedjby Honorable Senators, may be in? ferred from the fact, that the New York ■Times, a daily newspaper printed in New York city, of this datp, contains the printed confidential message and the amendments, together with the treaty entire. The discussion without will be conducted in secret session, and if ratified by the Senaie. will be rcturned.to Mexico, as amended for tho concurrence of that government. It promises to secure to an American Company the right of way across the islhmuss of Tehauntapec for a Kail Boad, It also gives to Mexico 615, 000,Q00, for a lelinquiehmeut of their title to a portion of her domain, including the disputed Messilla Valley; and abrogates an article of the Treaty of Guudalupe Hidalgo, by which the United Stales agreed to protect the frontier of Meiico against the inroades of the Savages, and op a failure to do so was liable to ioderp-'. nifi Mexican citizens and others Tor any loss which .they might incur through the Indians, which it is. thought wonld ambonl to many millions of dollars, Already we have aeen a protest presented to the Senate against the ratification of this treaty by two distinguished lawyers of this city, are the attorneys of some pCfstms who have been collecting claims for dam-

ages against the United Stales, growing out of a ufglect on our part to protect thp Mexicans a* provided in the treaty of flidalgo.. What effect the piolest will have upon Honorable Senators, cannot "now be told; it is to be hoped the treaty wpl be ratified, as it is considered highly advantageous to our country..

A circumstance occurred in Executive sessjon nf the Senate yesterday, which has created quite a stir in the political circles; that was the rejection of George N. Sanders, as American Consul to London, to which place he was appointed last Fall, and immediately entered upon the discharge of the duties thereof. Air. Sanders is a native of tlpt portion of Kentucky contiguous to your county, and has many acquaintances in your town,' The cause of his rejection is probably two-fold—his connection with the Democratic Review, in 1852, through which many of the most prop in cm men of the Democratic parly were assailed in a most uncalled for manner, and his recent conduct as an American Consul, in writing letters for the New York Iferptd, upon the subject of Europeaffjfolitics. thereby compromising the dignity and position of the office he held under American Government. These are said to be the cause of his rejection.

. Rumors have been afloat for a day or two, that a difficulty haiLarjsen between ihe Cfotoq newspaper proprietors and the Pres|uenl, wfitch has caused considerable excjlement in political circle?; but. like many of the rumors that are started every day, there is po foundation in fact for it. h had ltowever spread to such an extent iharihe Vfiion came out this morning in a denial of ilie any misunderstanding between- them and the President.

Quitea.npyel petition was presented in the House last week, from a lady who had served as a soldier in one of the Missouri regiments of volunteer in the Alexican war, for Which service she asks that she be allowed the bounty land offered by Congress to soldiers- in that war. It appears that she concealed her sex, and remained in male attire, performing all the duties of a soldier with promptness and (jdelily for a period of eight months, when it was discerned she was a woman, and she was then honorably discharged. Her petition has been promptly, granted by. Congress, and a warrant fop IQO acres of land allowed her. - ‘.
