arouse his fellow citizens BY public
speaking and various other means,

variety Of opponents to the Name

if we are defeated, twill be owing to
two main causes. First, political par

the sake of the cause, and they are
continually crying out. it is a whig
trick, or q democratic trick. When
democrats arc prominently active,
they CRY out to the wings, beware Of
a locofoco cheat! When wings are
foremost in the cause, then the cry is,
look out for awhig trick. Don't be
entrappedl Now, party lies must not
control temperance men in the com
test, for if they do we shall be beaten,
and the enemy knows this well. But
the second thing to fear, is the abom-
inable system Of LIES that are every
where and every day promulgated
about the Maine Law, and the objects
of those who advocate prohibitory
law in Ohio. To counteract thes'
falsehoods, join together in bands

You ask, how is the Maine Law re-

great favor by very large majority

Knights Of Temperance: New Order.


For a long time have many Sons
of Temperance had in contemplation
the erection of a new Order, bearing
the above name, the membership of
which should be composed Of Sons in
good and regular standing at the time
Of joining. and had been thus for one
year previous. The objects of the
proposed institution are to strengthen
the fraternal relations Of the brother
hood by pledges to each other, the
adoption Of modes ofrecognition, and
the promotion Of the great cause of
temperance and of virtue. 1t is ia
tended more especially for the young
Sons, as we wish to awaken their
chivalric feelings and arouse their
dormant energies.
The fees and dues may be regulated
by each society, so as to meet its ex-
penses, and we wish to have it par
ticularly understood, that this is not
iHtendt d for a beneficial institution as
regards cash benefits. Meetings will
be held monthly. It is designed that
there shall be three degrees, viz: Red,
White and Blue, with regalia for
each, forming, in the whole, a beauti
full "symbol Of our Order" and an
appropriate and expressive emblem of
our object, which is, acor upon The H..
quor traffic. Thus have we endeav-
ored, briefly, to explain the objects of
our proposed institution.
Brethren, what think you of it?
Young and chivalric brethren, what
Think yow of it? To you do we ap-
peal. Shall we have an Order COM
posed Of the good and the true Of our
present noble institution Of those who
have adhered to the "three great prin-
ciples on which we rest" Let the
response be ayei Let it come from
the east and the west, from the north
and the south. Wherever the tri-col-
cred banner waves, from thence let
the response come.
For the present, the undersigned
will answer all postpaid letters from
brethren wishing ginformation. Though
there be but one brother favorable in
aDivision, let him write and become
acquainted with our plans of opera.

p. S. Since the within circular was
printed, we have been handed a pam.
phlet report Of the proceedings Of the
Ohio Railroad Convention, held in
Columbus, December 9TH and 9th,
1859, published by oder Of the Con-
vention. Rule No 9 is in these words:
"Persons attending Agricultural
Fairs Conventions called for reli-
gious, literary, scientific or other pur-
poses-State or national excursion
expeditions, at half first class passen-
ger fare; provided, that the number of
persons attending such conventions, or
going on such excursion trips, and
applying for tickets, shall not be un-
der forty"
We wonder that any company, with
this rule before them, could have in
terpreted it to mean that forty dele
gates should be found upon any one
train. We suppose that it has origi-
mated in a mistake, but as the practi-
cal operation has been to nullify the
general intentions Of the Railroad
Convention, we trust that a uniform
Interpretation Of the rule will at once
be adopted, to the effect that the
number in attendance at the Conyen-
ton shall be the contingency on which
the fare is to be reduced, instead Of
the number on any one train; and
\ this, if the companies require it, can
be certified by the officers Of the Con-
' Yeption. .s,.r, IN, ~ g.r8.

ment which may be depended upon
on this occasion; and they would most
respectfully suggest, that if the COM
panies think it expedient to adopt any
contingency as a condition Of a reduc-
ton Of fare, it should have reference
to the number in regular attendance
at the Convention, rather than any
number happening to be on any one
train at the same time. We most ear
nestly hope, however, that a certificate
of membership will be the only con-
dition required; andwe thinkth will
greatly promote the interest Of the
company themselves. If desired, the
committee will furnish every conduc-

lNsTISCT THE BEAyER.-lndians and noun
taineerS from every locality where the beaver
ahounds. report he fact hat these animals cnil-
trary 10 their movements for the last seven wears
are now raising dams around their ancient habi-
tatlons more than foot above their common
height; and that they have commenced their
work earlier IN the season, by at least six weeks
than ever before known. From this fact which
is apparent and undsputed, many anticipate an
early commencement, and large quantity OF
rain. and OF course snow, upon the mountains
the coming winter, than any previous one
since the discoyery OF gold iii California Er-
change.
SO we think. But friend of ours, who de-
lights in turning to ridicuie the most able deduc-
tions, and happily conceived speculations ac-
counts for this sagucious conduct of the beaver
in altogether another way. He says that he is
clearly of the opinion that the beavers discover
ed that their ancient habitations were inadequate
to protect them from the water last winter, and
hence have determined to protect them by an
additional dam the approaching rainy season.
He believes it is more reasonable to suppose
them capable of learning from experience than
of peering into the future. On the other hand,
we reason why a beaver may not be pos
sessed of superior weather-wisdom to men.
Every one familiar with the history of the bea-
yer knows that he is superior to man in one re-
spect. He saws logs with his teeth, and makes
"a capital dam with his tail. Who ever heard of

Weaveryille.

We had the pleasure of spending few days
last week in this Hourishng mountain town. the
county seat Of Trinity County. And no,with-
standing our favorable ideas Of the place, gath
cred from the letters of Adobe" and other cor
respondents, we confess that that the reality
surpassed our most sangaine expectations In
every respect Weayervlle is one OF the most
lively, elegantly bnilt, and pleasantly laid out
mining towns that we have visited IN any portion
of the mines The town is we'll supplied with
good hotels aud restaurants, stores filled with
extensive assortments of all manner Of goods,
and elegant saloons for resort during leisure
hours In addition, her citizens unsurpassed
for hospitality, numbering some of the choicest
spirits whom it has been our good fortune to
..fall among in this vale of tears.
In company with Mr.. HELEN, Secretary of the
Trinity Mining and Water Company, and seve-
raj other gentlemen, we rode ont as tar as the
saw-mil npon the race, some FIVE miles from
town, for The purpose of examining portion of
this gigantic work. That part of the race which
we passed over was certainly executed in an
admirable manner, according to our poor judg-
ment.
We are glad to state that this work Of such
vital interest to the prosperity of Weavervile is
now in fair way to speedy completion. Mr..
HELEN is ssnguine that they win be able to sup
plv the miners around the town with water suf-
fcent to run 500 toms in IL the course of three
or four weeks.
We also visited sykes Deep Hole" about
half mile abQye town. They have aireudy
penetrated to the depth Of more than five hun
dred feet from the surface, and found gold all
the way DOWN. The intention is TO go on down
until the precious ore exhibits itself in chunks,
which we trust will be ere long.
We were particularly struck with the great
excellence of the waller used for drinking pur-
poses in Weaverville. In this respect the Wea-
vervilians are blessed. We were equally i'm
pressed with the fact that many of our acquain-
tances there were wholly unaware that their
drinking water possessed Of any peculiar
excellence, numbers OF them never having prac-
tcally tested its quality in undiluied state.
They are ALL however, convinced that, for mill
ing and mining purposes, i. is possessed Of con-
siderable utility. We trust that it will be con-
venieni for us to visit WcavcrvIllc many times
