The HOMESTEAD BILL.-The WASHINGTON
Star thinks the Senate will. SO moIify the
Homestead bill now under consideration in their
chamber as that it will not absolutely giue the
land away That is, so that it will require some
return from actual settlers at some fixed neriod
for what they arc to receive in the shane of
public property. Ii this is done, the Star takes
1t tor granted that there need no longer be
question as to the probability of a vote upon it.
Although the price to be- charged may be very
small, the principle of securing some return for
the land donated will be conserved. The gene
raj Impression is, that the President entcrtains
no disposition to dcmur to the action of Con.
gress IN enactlng homestead bill which shall
conserve that principle, be its other details

TO the Friends of Temrersrce.

The present is an important period in the
history OF the Temperance Reform in our coln-
try. The crisis has apparently come, and the
friends are buoyans and sanguine, while foes
are quallmg before. the mighty. front OI Prohi
bitten: The movement has recehtlyassumed a
ase-,hitherto unknown to man,--hence, thou
sands oil well-meanlng persons stand hesitating
whether to join in the onward march of the
cause or stick to the .fogyism of former years.
They stand perplexed and confounded, knowing
not what course to take. The work has come
upon them so suddenly and unexpectedly that
they are not prepared to act. They are still
cropping in the darkness of former vears-there
is still mist before their eyes which obstructs
clear vision. There are a number of men,
who, If they knew the power of the mighty
engine which is propellng the temperance
cause, would fall into the ranks and act a noble
part,-their motto is, "as our fathers did. 50 do

tons IN their own vicinity, but are not CONVEX
