Mr.. Editor: Although your readers are semi
monthly informed that Temperance Society
exists in Camden, great number of them may
suppose we are dragging out a miserable eXs-
tence, because we do not exercise our privilege of
publishing in your columns, an account of the
progress we make. Last Saturday evening, the
Society met agreeaby to appointment. Quite
number were present. and among them several
whom weare not yet permitted to take by the
hand as Washingtonians, but who doubtless wish
well to the cause hoaored us with their pres
ence. Already have the founders Of this Socie-
ty realized more than they anticipated at its for
NATION. At every meeting we receive an acces-
sion to our numbers, ,sand no doubt all who were
present at our last meeting felt that our pros
poets are indeed cheering, and that the banner
{viz: freedom from all that can intoXlcate) which
is destined to wave over this nation, is unfurled,
urging the friends of freedom to rescue our fell
low men from bondage more CALLING than the
Russian serf endures. Let US then, follow up
what has been so well begun, and if many who
ought toptake the lead in this good work stand
aloof from us, let their apathy animate us to
greater eXertlons.

LIABILITIES OF BANK DIREcToRs.-A case Of
considerable interest was decided last week in
the Supreme Court of New Jersey. The action
was on a promissory note, given by the defendant
to the Morris Canal and Banking Company. 1t
was an accommodation note, and was either to
be taken up when due by the company, or, if the
defendant had to take it up, the company was to
furnish him with coal to the amount. The plain
tiff was director of the company, and in the
course of his private dealings, the note was en-
dorsed to him before it canc due.
at appeared, however, that the note was made
over to the plaintiff as collateral security for a
debt which had been otherwise paid; and the de-
fendant contended that the note was held, there
fore, without consideration So adjudged by the
Court, the defendant being allowed to produce
the books of the company to prove the fact on
the ground that they were the plaintiffs own
books, he being director, or, as it were, part
ner in the firm, and therefore chargeable with
knowledge of, and assent to, what the books
contained"
"Another point raised for the defendant was,
that the plaintiff must be held to have construc-
tive knowledge, although he might not have had
actual knowledge, of the fact that the note was
given for the accommodation of the company,
and was to be provided for by the company at ma
turty or coal furnished to its amount. So dec-
ded, in favor of the defendant; and as it appeared
that the company had neither taken up the note
