HONOR TO THE BRAVE; The Old soldiers of Cumberland County will be truly gratified to learn of the,pas• sage of the bounty land bill by both branches of the National Congress.— The vote in the House was 135 yeas to 39 nays—an overwhelming majority.— The bill gives one hundred and sixty acres of land to every person who served in our wars not less than fourteen days since_ rpo as well as to those •who were engaged in actual battle for a less period. The widows or minor children of sol diers are to receive the benefit in case of death of the persons so entitled. The widows of officers and soldiers of the Re volutionary war are entitled to the bene , fit of this act, and also the volunteers of the invasion of Plattsburg, in September 1814, the volunteers at the attack on Lewistown, Delaware, in 1812 -13, and chaplains who served in the several wars. The provisions of the - bill iii full; as"i passed Congress, will be found on our first prge. NEW LICENSE LAW. On Thursday last in the House of Re presentatives, the bill sometime since in troduced by Mr. Cummings, to restrain thellraffic in intoxicating liquors by abol ishing all licenses of places for retailing, passed in Committee of the whole. A Har risburg 'correspondent, however, thinks that a bill so nearly prohibitory in its h•tracter is not likely to pass, but that a stringent license law, like that propos ed by the Senate Committee, will meet with the most general favor. This bill adopts the machinery of general aws, requiring all who would sell under five gallons, to take licenses from the t:ourts in all parts of the State, after full advertisement or their application, and subject to objection and contest by their neighbors, and the decision of the Court, after hearing all parties, as -to the occa sion of-granting the license. All are to be put under bond, with warrant of at torney, to enter judgement for a faithful• observance of the law, the license fees are increased three-fold, and none can sell under.a quart who aro not licensed to keep an inn, and at least six rooms , and twelve beds for the exclusive use of travelers. In the city of Philadelphia, where the free sjstem now exists, there will be besides the gen'eral provisions of of the laws of the State, a hoard of three appraisers, to be appointed by the Court,' composed of, three temperate and repu table appraisers, in no manner interested in the liquor•busineas, whose duty it will be to inquire into the fitness of the ap plicant, and without whose'Jeirtificate Lis application cannot be made.

The project was only killed by the resolute' spirit evinced by several Senators.— Among these Mr. Clayton, of Delaware, in the debate on Thursday, hit the friends of the proposition to modify the revenue laws some very hard blows. He justly remarked at one time that it was highly inexpedient to introduce, within three days of the termination of the session, a matter' which would require properly at least a month's careful deliberation; and intimated pretty plainly that there had lately occurred in the country a political revolution lihich indicated that the pol 'ley of subordinating American to foreign interests, whether in reference to the in dustry of the nation , °E....otherwise, - had had its final and irreversible doom pro nounced. And when attacked . by Sena= tor Mason, for uttering this unwelcome truth, Mr. Clayton delivered a sentiment' which will - doubtless be received all over the country as a manly andlaithful ex pression of the patriotic emotions of the Popular heart. He told Mr Rusk and Mr. Mason, who had taunted him with his 'Americanism, "You'll find out \vitt-- irc the next fourteen mouths whether there is an American party outside of De laware. And you'll find very shortly, .whe , ,her there is any such in Virgin ia. You talk of Disunion. If you sen ators, yon and each of you, and the Re presentatives in the other House, should resolve here, 'that the Union should be diSsolved,the groat -body- of- the -people are so attached to the Union, that the; -would come - here and hang•you all, 'or else throw you into the Potomac." • This was a noble, a glorious conviction, spoken like a generous and heroic Roman would have enunciated it in the' Capital; and we mistake the genius of the masses of our native population, if it does not thrill through their - sous like the accents of an inspired prophecy, BENTON IN A HUFF !—Col. Benton's last lours in Congress were not very creditable to his dignity. A Washing correspondent says, at eleven o'clock, A. M., Mr. Benton, who had not been seen in his seat before since midnight appear ed at the bar of the House, raving like a maiac, and protesting against the fur-, ther use of his name, declaring- that the 33d Congress had terminated, and that no man had a.. right to treat him as a member of it. Amidst deafening roars of order, he yet managed by force 'of lungs to make himself heard in the threat that ho would bring an action of trespass against the clerks, if they persisted_ in calling his name in the yeas and nays.— Mr. B. then disappeared, leaving on th minds of his late associates the imprssiori that the unfortunate gentleman was part ly or wholly deranged. The New Hampshire Election takes place 'on the 13th of . March, and more than usual interest attaches to it, since, in addition to the Governor and other State officers and members of the lower house of Congress who are to be /chosen, the Legislature, now to be elec ted, will have the choice of twdmembers of the United States Senate, ,to fill the seats vacated by the death of Messrs Ath erton and Norris. .

A number of bills establishing new •Batiks are already in progress of passage through our State Legislature., A strong combination of interest is arrayed by the large number of applications for charters, and the disposition of the.

So in France, besides the general opposition among the Romanist , clergy themselves,- the official promulgation of the new dog ma depends in some way, it appears, upon the sanction of the Emperor; and he, so the latest accounts gay, hesitates to exer cise his authority in the matter, for fear the palpable absurdity of the doctrine and the ridiculous scandal that will fol low its announcement, may excite an open rebellion among the " faithful" in es . his empire. • Xl63 — The Washington Sentinel declares authoritatively' that Judge Douglass'will not under any circumstances be a candi date *for' the next Presidency.

BlitiAtt, Esq.—No event, for a long period, has caused mote general and deep feeling of sorrow in our/ community, than the death of our Well known and esteemed townsman, WILLIAM M. BID DLE, Esq. He died on Wednesday hist, at the residence of the Hon. C. B. Pesaosr, in Philadelphia, whither he had -gone r few weeks before in bad health, though with no serious apprehensions on 'the part of his friends ()fits terminating fatally. The sub• seqnent developement of disease of the heart, gave sad token that Death's triumph was at han.l. On Friday last hid mortal remains were brought back to our town amid gene ral manifestations of sorrow. The loss Of such a citizen as Mr. Biddle, "whose com manding diameter, whose joyous spirit and cheerful countenance,enlightened, animated and brightened every circle in which he ' moved," must be long and deeply felt. Mr. Biddle, although he had attained the highest rank at the Bar; - kimed at no prominence in public life. Officidl'Alistinction, he- neither sought nor desired. Ardently, devoted to . his profession he was distinguished tint only for ability of the highest stamp, but for -a high-toned probity and'integrity of characte r which will ever remain as a shining 'exam ple. Of his personal character, his genial nature, his rare companionable qualities, we may not adequately speak. Those who have lost the enjoyment of these will truly feel that "The earth whieli holds him dead Rears not alive a nobler gentleman." His funeral was attended on Saturday last by .his brethren of the Bar, the' Faculty'and Students of Dickinson College, and a vast concourse of c'tizens SPRING !---The weather for a few days past has been delightfully in 'accordance with the poetical idea of spring-time. It won't do to be cheated into the expectation that there will be no more "cold snaps" how• ever. The present month, though crony - logically the beginning of spring. is in fact in these latitudesohe t;ii)se of winter. In merrie England, the spring weather begins a month earlier than. it does with us, and a• bout The time that vegetacan' here is develo ping signs of life, it is theelp the full vigor of early growth. March ereabouts is com monly the most , Jisagreable of the twelve, cold and high winds beihg prevalent to the very close, and sometimes far into April ; and not unfrequently we have gevere'snow storms in the latter month. On last Easter day when the peach trees were in blossom, there. was considerable fall of snow here a. bouts, which did much damage to the fruit: THE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY—The meeting yesterday was well attended and af forded ample proof of the enthusiastic feel ing which animates our country friends in reference to the new Agricultural Society.— , The\formation of the society is now a fixed fact, and energetic measures have been ta ken to put it, in active operation at onco.— For this purpose sufficient funds are to be raised for the purchase of a permanent loca tion for the annual Fair, the erection of tlio proper buildings, &c. This is right. No course could have been more wisely adopted to give i the society a permanent character and standing.
