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.

INDIAN DEPREDATIONS.
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.

Everybotly *ho can resd should procure
a ropy of this bonk. There are few books
that we have ever read that have caused us
to laugh more hfcrtily than the one now be
fore us. The M ijnr is s veritable Yankee,
and gets into more scrapes than anyone else
we wot of ; while the way he has of relating
his adventures would pu! a broad grin on
the granite front of the Astor House. Dar- I
ley's illustrations are inimitable—the artist I
having caught the very inspiration ot the
Major himself. Major Jones tells his own
story in his own way, and it is at broadly
Yankee as the most lacetiouscould desire.
The Grain Trade of the West is a subject of
a good deal of discussion in the papers.—
Some of the Western papers say ttiat there
is comparatively little wheat in store nn the
railroads and canals of that section of the
country. The price of seed wheat in the in
terior of Illinois is considerably above the
maiket, spring wheat for seed and milling
bringing from SI 20 to SI 50, and the supply
furnished is barely sufficient to meet home
consumption. The stock of corn, on the
other hand, is represented as being quite
heavy. At Louisville the ptice of corn has
declined materially, causing to speculators
serious losses. Holders have in great meas
ure ceased shipping, as the price in foreign
markets would uot warrant the coat of trins

TRom DELAWARE.
Ml4rn*D(flaroh 26, 1856.
Ms. WEAVER —Dear Sir, —In my last I pro
possd lo drop tone hint* M to the way in
which emigration should take place, or that
emigrant* should come into thia peninsula.
And in the first place I remark that no one
man or family coma alone to fettle in
thia eouniry. Jyjnoi right that one family
thonld crop Ao ran Alone Into *uch an abye#
of incoropatibilitli and inCongenlmlitlev aa
will be found here. Several families, at least
three or four, should come together; and it
would be better that a dozen or more should
come together,-embracing'tha various trade*
necessary to the comfort and convenience of
a community. In this way much unpleas
antness, and some imposition may be avoid
ed. Let it be borne in mind that a good,
energetic brick-maker should be embtaced
by any company coming here to settle. Then
a grist, or saw mill should absolutely be pur
chased or built for the special benefit of the
company. You have men in your neigh
borhood, sir, whom I could name, abundant
ly able to lake these departments in hand,
and I am satisfied they would have to travel
far to make a better investment in that way
than they ran make here. There are great
forests nf oak timber here and in Sussex
county, and further aonth much pine anti ce
dar. Tne lumber, is very high—•
about the rimaai in Philadelnhia. But all
these matters should be looked into by indi
viduals competent to judge, and determine,
'before any purchase is made by any such
company. As 1 have suggested—come and
see.
But, sir, there is one aspect in which the
country should be viewed by those who con
template settling here, and which is not gen
erally considered—l mean its moral and reli
gious condition. I remark then, in this con
nexion, that Methodism is >he prevailing sys
tem of religion ikrnughonl the entire penin
sula. Here the Methodiata have it all their
own way. Here and there a public congre
gation of Episcopalian* and Presbyterians
barely preserve their identity in the midst of
the dominant and prevailing sect. But let
not our Metbogist brethren suppose that here
is just what they want-i-ju*t what will suit
them. thlr flaitsring unction-R
your soul." I tell you, I charge you to come
not here with the thought of settling down
and identifying yourselves with the masses
that press so uniformly—l had almost said
so heavily—upon almost every mile of this
beautiful plain. I say, let the emigrant ol
whatever denomination, coming here, bring
companion* enough with him, and money
enough, to rentier him independent in all re
spects of the natives.
The best land in this peninsula can be pur
chased at from 810 to SIS, and well set with
oak, and within ten miles oi navigation.—
The water ol thia country is aa pure asjn
the valley of Fishingcreek. Every article
produced, above what is necessary for home
consumption, finds a ready market.
Your men of capital would do well to vis
it Delaware and see for themselves the in
ducements that are- hare held obi lo those
who have capital to invest, or sons to settle
and provide with farms. To all, I would
say, who have the disposition to embsrk in
this kind of adventure anywhere, come and
see this country, and consider the induce
ments and advantages it presents.
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."
The " Kiko or Aloikm." —According to
the news from France, ibe expected "event"
ao Interesting to the Ernprees and Locis Na
poleon, (a over, and the child's name it-
Napoleon Eugene Louis Jean Joseph. The
crowd stood outside, as at an expected spec
tacle, with gaping mouths, waiting for the an
nouncement, and the Empress, between the
throes of labor, exhibited herself at (be win
dow. A hundred and one guns were fired
when that "blessed baby" with five christ
ian names was ushered into the world, and
two hundred thousand francs were voted to
be distributed to the poor. The Jitile fellow
is therefore inaugurated under very favorable
circumstances, as the Itsir expectant ol im
perial nd,': o '*! which he niJ" or may not
reach. Similar manifestations have been
made over other imperial babies, but the
hopes which gave expression to them were
never realized. Nothing absolute can be
predioated npoo anything so uncertain aa
French popular opinion.
