THE NEW LiqUUR LAW. Very few pe.rsuna express themselves en tirely pleased with the new liquor law, but certainly in many respects it is an improve ment upon the ,- jug law" ol last year. The difficulty in this subject of temperance has never been so much for want of law to re strain drunkenness as Irom the lack ol a prop er enforcement of the law. Certainly thete now exist many salutary laws 10 check the evil in this respect, il there shall only now be enough moral force in public opinion to enforce them. For under our American re public thia moral force is the power behind the law, without which the statutes must re main a dead letter. The bond demanded by the tenth section of the new law will he very much objected to by many persons; but wjkran see no harm in il beyond what is contained in the other porlion of the law. For the otner sections impose penalties severe enough against vio lators ol lite law, and it seems to us that if they were properly enforced there would be no additional safeguard in the tenth section To him who violates no part of the law, its penalties and bondt have no terror. The 29th section strikes upon K princinla that seems 10 receive atlhistime an increaa ing share of favorable attention from students of ethics and jurisprudence.—lt punishes the drunkard himself; and il man is to be treat ed as a free and responsible moral agent, it is certsiolv high time that he who willingly makes a nuisance of himself should suffer for the crime. In some casea il.e liquor sel ler is doubtless a wilful accessory and tempt er to the crime, bat lately the power of the law has been turned almoat entirely against the vertner, and has treated the drinker as if he was hardly a morally responsible being. The mental aberration and depravity ol the drunkard may appeal to tbe protecting sym pathy of our senliineni, but so might the ab errations of ignorance, idleness and itching malice; and the offender must be held re sponsible for allowing himself to fall into this depravity. In almoat every criminal, habit ual indulgence in some evil passion has nur sed it until it grew to b the master of its vic tim; but he is not the less in fault for the formation of the evil habit, or else every criminal would justify himself against pun ishment. Morbid and sickly 'sentiment has bad too much to do with our laws, and cool deliberation an.d reason too little. It is ibis error that m akes them as changeable and fleeting as t'ne wind. Tbe Until to tbe number of taverns will bs another source of complaint, and does not teem to be founded on any correct principle of political economy. That a business so very liable to abuse should be conducted on ly by sober and correct men is a reasonable enactment ; and that a business in which so mmy evils exist should be hedged around with strong safeguards and penalties is sure ly proper, and it a demand of social security. But these guards should be strong, and then sufficient; and within them there should be fair, equal and open competition to all who will observe the law. The duty of constables will require them to state definitely under the new law wheth er there are violations of it in the several dis tricts. If the design of the act ia fairly car ried out, repeated violations cannot happen with impunity as they now do. Il will be well for conetablea la examine the provision of the new law which relates to them. It appear* pretty clearly that the whole of our county ia to serve ae one district in limiting the number of tavern li censes, and that each township shall nor be a separate district. If Iha for.ner method ol .apportionment is adopted Columbia county mig'ht have 37 taverns, which is about the n u,Tiber licenssd in 1854. But if the latter meihU'f i adopted the number of taverns would bs.' cut down about one-third. Upon thC "hole, we think the law about as nooo end generally satisfactory Bl conlil have best: expected where there are so many varying mind* to commit. It ta baa ed mainly npon Mr. Browne's bill, and there if enough stringency in n U> realrain moat of the evila of the liquor traffio which now ex tat j and enough of liberality to furnish no ex cuse for the moat dangerous and ahameful illegal traffio which ex-ated during the paal year. A Ntw SCHOOL. —We hope thSt all thoae intereated will give attention to the adver tisement of M'. Eaten, a young gentleman who cornea among ua to open a select Eng- , lish and Classical School.

By tha Texts correspondence of the publio papara we learn that iha Indiana have lately been committing nnmeron* depredations and outrages upon tha whites in tba vicinity of Fort McKavell. A scouting party under Captain Oakes, who is a son of Judge Oakas of Moniour oounty, Pe., sat oui lately from Fort MRSOU to punish tha saragisy For sev eral days they followed a trail jntbout suc cess—bet on the evening of 9a Bid they were more fortunate. Tney discovered an Indian encampment whioh proved to be northern Camanches—a tribe never known tn ask or to give quarters. At the time our friends surprised them they were dressing a deer. Capt. Oakes immediately charged up j on them, but not before the chief of the par ty had given warning by the shrill war whoop. He fought with savage desperation, but the fiat had gone forth, and be fell before hit camp fire. Several others were mortally wounded. Five escaped, but we have no doubt they will be overtaken. Sergeant Reis and Private Ktthn were severely wounded. They were sent home with an escort, while rest of the command continued tbe pursuit. They passed McKavett a few days since on their return to Fori Mason, bearing with them the trophies of their victory—.everal fine horses, and the bow, quiver and arrows ofihe slain warrior. As'his has been the fir>t successfu4 scouting expedition of the Second Cavalry, thpy will doubtless be hail ed with loud acclsmstinns by their comrades. Kail ttond Law. In a trial at Harrieburg, in the case of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, sued for injuries sustained by a person who rail his wagon in the wey of a coming train, ibe Court charged that if by the exercise of or dinary alcill and care the plaintiff could have avoided the injury he received, or il his con duct contributed 10 produce it, he is not en titled to recover, even though the defendant was also gttihy of negligence. Whilst it is right and proper for the Cumpany to give warning at the crossings of the approach ol a train, it it also the duly of a travaler, 10 use p.'oper caution before attempting to croaa the tra.tk. This is a good law, and good sound common tense. Land Warrants. The Department el Washington have issu ed 112,794. The applications received a mount to 242,000. Thete will be some wait ing for those who are last on the list, though 170,000 have bean examined, and 150,000 of the remainder, it is said, will be suspend ed for further proof. These cases require much more cars and lime in examination, and the issue from the Department will de crease from one-third to one-hall. The pres ent supply of wurrants will consequently he soon exhausted, without the possibility of iis again occurring—should there be more than the usual demand, prices must go higher than they have ever done.

Yours truly, The tale Clerk of the House in Congress. —lt has become so much the rule latterly lo look for delay and dispute in the settlement of the accounts of retiring public officers, at Wash ington, that it aflord* us much satisfaction to notice the exreption in the case of one of onr own citizens, Col. Forney, late Clerk of the Hou.e. The Wahing:on Evening Star says: "Col. Forney, within an hour after receiv ing an inforual report of adjustment from tbe office of FwetCompttoVer, finally closed his accounts, by simply transferring to the Uni ted State* the balance standing to his credit on the book* of the Treasury, there being not one cent of difference between bissiatement as rendaretl and that of the Department. Hi. disbursements covered transactions running through four years of official service, and embraced the expenditure of over two mill ions of dollars, under aboul seventy different heads of appropriation. On the Ist of April he was informed unofficially of the adjust ment of the final account, and within an hour after, he closed by making the transfer stated above. Thia promptness reflect* much cred it indeed upon Col. Forney, and bia chief (and financial) clerk, Mr. MoKean."
