GEN. RlLEY.-That able and fearless lecturer
on Temperance, Gen. RILEY, of Rochester, N. r.,
visited our town last week and delivered two ex-
cellent addresses-one at the corner of Jefferson
and Main streets, and the other inthe
al Church in the evening. In the afternoon he show
ed that intoxicating liquors never did, as bever.
age, any body any good. He pointed out, in class
es, those who used it and those who did not, and
showed which were and were not contributors to
the building up of society. One worse than threw
away his earnings, by giving it all to the dealer in
liquor; the other paid his to the various tradesmen
and audable professions to shelter, clothe and feed
his family and minister to their moral social and
intellectual happiness He told story illustrate
how while the palates Of the lovers of strong drink
were tickled with the beverage, the vender was oh
solutely SHINING them alive, by taking their mon
ey for what did them no good.
In the evening he nobly plead the cause of the
worse than widows and orphans, who were attach
ed to the unhappy inebriates. He placed the friends
of temperance and these women and children on
one side, and the maker and seller Of intoxicating
drinks the other, and then argued from the great
law OF our republican government, the greatest
good to the greatest numbers that the few should by
some stringent measures be deprived Of the privi-
lege Of prey and getting rich on the misery Of the
many. His evening speech occupied two hours and
was listened to with profound attention. We hope
his visit may give a new impulse to the cause of
temperance. We are glad to learn that in connec-
ton with the late temperance demonstrations, ten
new candidates for membership, were proposed to
one of our divisions alone last Friday evening.
How many propositions have been made to the 9TH
er divisions we have not learned. Would that we
could here as did in Madison, the sellers of
intoxicating drinks, in the ranks of the Sons of
Temperance.

Col. STEVENSON is out in the California papers
on Col. BENTON. The letter Of Col. b. he says
contains many false statements. He has produced
many public documents to prove his position. He
accuses Col. Fremont, Benton's son-in-law, with
having charged government for two thousand cattle
as rations for the soldiers, when those same cattle
are alive and grazing the rich fields ofcaifornia

Our Commissioner to the Sandwich Isands-Mr
Ten Eyck-has got himself into trouble. The gov
eminent sent agent to California and because the
ruling power did not consult and make him the chan
mel of communication, Mr. Ten Eyck took offence,
published several abusive articles in the Sandwich
Island News against the government and its officers,
and hauled down the American flag. We shall have
to 60 out there, after ALL to settle the difficulty if it
is not soon healed up.

LyMAN's GAUGE.-The superiority of this guage
is acknowledged by all who have tried it. It has

one Of these guages attached thereto. Those best

WHERE ARE THE Locos9-The recent election in
New York shows that loco foco stock is getting be-
low par. Long before Old Zach's first term expires
the loco foco party win be nowhere. The leaders
Of that party have heretofore deceived thousands of
the honest and confding foreign-born population,
into the belief that il the Wings got into power they
would have king on the throne just they had in
Europe, and that their liberty would be taken from
them. The charm is al last broken. They now see
that they were deceived by these loco focos-that
Wings having the power are the friends of liberty.
This opening ofther eyes is the secret Of the great
wing triumph in New York.
