Written for the Smyrna Times.
To the, Friends of Prohibition on the
Peninsula.

This question has frequently occurred to me
Why do not Temperance men manifest more
interest in the Temperance press than they do
You will find men loud in their denunciation of
rum-selling and rum-drinkng, wondering why
it is that the principle of Prohibition is SO hard
to instil into the minds and consciences of men,
when these very men leave the most powerful |
means of enlightenment--the presto take |
care Of itself! In the political world, party
partlzans know the value of an orgaa,- and |
make all the exertion in their power to extend
the circulation, and consequently the influence
of the particular paper advocating the princi-
pies OF their party hence we rarely find
political paper in want of sufficient number
of subscribers to give it generous support
But, with the Temperance press it is vastly
different. Notwithstanding the immense im-
portance of the subject, its advocates seem to
think the press of no value to its success, and
large majority OF them never read a paper
devoted to the cause, but subscribe, read, and
pay tor-and that too, willngly--those of po-
lltlcal cast. Now, is this consistent! Ought
not all true Temperance men use their utmost
endeavors to promote the good of their cause
In every way they can! And pray, how better
can they accomplish the desired end than by
subscribing for, and inducing others to subscribe
for good temperance paper! | cannot con-
ceive how. Now, the times" is the only
paper of this character published on this Penin-
sua, and it will, think, be conceded that,
apart from its character as a temperance paper,
no better family paper is published within the
above mentioned limits-it is we'll filled with
the news of the day, and has numerous cores.
pondents from different parts of the country,
whose writings are worth more than a passing
notice, and added to this, its strictly moral tone
renders 1t peculiarly acceptable to parents who
have children old enough to read-for they
need never fear their children finding therein,
either as an advertisement or otherwise any
thing of demorallzing nature.
would, therefore, appeal to all good tem-
perance men to aid the Editor in his underta king
and thereby help the cause Of suffering human.
ty. There is, verify believe, scarcely village
ON the Eastern Shore of Maryland, or in the
State of Delaware, but what would, if an effor
was made, send ten or mere names to add t
the subscription list of the "SMyRNA TINES.
Come, gentlemen, let US not be behind mere
partgzans, but let US put our shoulders to tn,
wheel and see what can be DONE |, for one
will do all that can. Who will help Am,
we shall see in what locality our cause bes
fourishes.

= Cold WEATaER.-Atter a cold December
aiid mild, open January, We are likely to have
severe February. The great body of snow
which has fallen, and still remains at the north
and northwest, gives promise OF cold nights and
piercing Winds The cold has been increasing
for several days, and this morning the rher-
mometer stands at degrees above zern which
is intensely cold for this climate. A shaving
nOrtheaster is driving the light flakes of snow
in confusion, which now measures two or three
inches, with promises of greater depth.
Early this morning. while muslng upon the
distress and suffering which the cold weather
will cause, We heard the lone chIrp of blue
bird--the harbinger of sprng-attracted hither,
no doubt, BY the genial sunshine of the previous
week. For a moment the joyousncss of OPEN
ing spring fitted across our mind, but it wa.
only tor a nOment-tor upon thrustIng our head
out Of the door, and sallylng into the AIR, then
shivering in the breath OF Old Boreas, we sought
the curling blaze with inprecations upon the
sllly bird and its false prophecies.

IJnsreSs.

We did suppose that in the House of Repre-
sentatives, at least, the Pacific Railroad Bill
would be passed, and it did pass but was re-
considered, sent to select committee, and it is
in all probability, buried for the present year.
The French Spoiliation Bill, which has from
year TO year for near half u century engag-
ed the attention of Congress, has again passed
the House, and it is thought will pass the Sem
ate, receive the approval ofthe President and
become a law-although many of these claims
have probably passed from the original suffer-
ers and are held by spectators, there are still
many of the actual losers and their defendants,
who will if this bill is finally passed obtain tar
dy justice. A few weeks only remain of the
session and much is yet to be accomplished
In the Senate the bill for raising volunteers
for fighting the Indians, has been for time
the most exciting subject, proposition in the
bill! for employing Indians to hunt and fight In
dians, GREETED good deal of feeling, and an
opposition creditable to the Senators. Gen.
Cass eloqucntly opposed this project, he said
that when in the war of 1912 our Government
was forced to employ the Indians, it was with
great reluctance they did so, and not until the
British had for length OF time employed them
against us, and openly paid them for American
scalps. He trusted that we should never again
be compelled to resort to such a course. Gen.
Sam Houston, who has been much with the
Indians, and knows them we'll said he believed
that more could be done with them by Commits
siOners of the proper kind, than by fighting
them with volunteers. The project ofemploy.
ing Indians was abandoned. The rage fol the
extension of territory and acquisition of new
countries, seems to have died away. The en-.
terprise to Central America is not Govern.
ment matter, but private affair COL Kinney
and bis associates are actively engaged in theil
preparations, and it is expected will very soon
start on their expedition. They profess tc

Curtail vour Expenses !

The present strlngency in the monetary
world, and the probability that the crisis is not
yet passed, present no very pleasing prospect;
and it behooves every one, therefore, to apply
the emphatic language which graccO the head
of these remarks, to his own individual case.-
Now, indubitably, we shall be doing our read
ers a service, by reminding them that the as
sortInent of Watches, Jewelry, Silverware and

SuDpressing Bribery.

An effort is now being made to suppress
bribery at our elections. This should be done.
for mere politicians are VIGOROUSLY corrupt
This was particularly the case at the last elc,.-
tlon-hundreds Of votes were bought at five
and ten dollars each. A correspondent of the
Milford Beacon, among other things, makes
the following suggestions to the Legislature:
1. "Restore to the statute book that act or
section containing the obligation to be admins
tered to candidates, that they have not directly
or indirectly bribed, &C., since the passage OF
this act. That will stop our class.
2. "Make it the duty of the election Judges
to reject any ticket that has any mark upon it
other than the proper names of the candidates,
title of the party. &C., any other mark being
considered PrimG facie evidence that the vote
was bought, and therefore illegal; and further,
that the tickets of all parties shall be printed
upon white paper, and the tickets of each party
as nearly as may be, of uniform appearance.-
That is, if the ticket of one party has on it an
eagle, all the tickets of the same party shall
have on them an eagle; any tickets printed diff
ferently for the same party should be sufficient
cause for rejection. Tickets SO rejected should
be sealed up in package BY the judges, num-
bered and placed in the ballot box, and be sub
ject TO an examination by board of canvassers,
composed of upright, henest men, chosen from
each party.

Mr. HoFFEcKER-RcSpecf Sir 1T has

Thomas ROlley, young man who was respect

IN stack of corn fodder in n field, in order to
get shot at the crows which we're towering
around after the corn, unfortunately either
struck the hammer of his gun against some-

where about the spine. Mr.. Rolley got up,

to-day about IL O'clock, when he departed this

prepare for death. But his reply was, "my
misery is so great that don't see how can

him; he replied, II don't know-I should have
to disturb you-my pain is so great"
1t is to be hoped, however, that after left
him, he fed for refuge to the strong hope in the
day of trouble. mention the above only to
warn others to be also ready. "Leave not to
the mercies Of an hour the vast concerns of an
eternal scene"
Mr.. R. has left an aged mother, a sister, and
other relatives, to whom this sad affection
sPeaketh. Very respectfully.
