THE TEMPERANCE cAusE-GENERAL ITEMS.
MILFORD, DEL, Sept. 20.-Rev. Thomas L.
Poulson has been down, for the past week,
laboring with the Good Templars. and we think
that the temperance question has been pretty
well agitated On last Thursday evening he adj
dressed large audience in the M. Z. Church,
and we think that it was the best temperance
address that we ever heard. On Sunday after
noon he addressed the Sabbath School, with pic
torial representation, and on Monday evening,
he spoke to crowded church; in fact there
were many who could not get into the church.
The Good Tempars turned out in regalia, and
made a grand display. 10 sum it all up, we
think that his three addresses were the best ever
delivered in this town, and he left no stone I'M
turned. The Good Templars have the tenn
perance question fairly laid before the people,
and If the citizens will not now take hold OF it,
and help redeem our town of intemperance, they
have no one to blame but themselves, for if n
band of Good Templars ever labored for the
cause it has been these Of Milford, but yet it
ranks still hold themselves aloof from this good
cause.
Several of our citizens have moved to your

The Horrors Of War.
tFrom "Frederck the Great. In IIarper's Monthly
for Octoberl

tFrom "Frederick the Great in IIarper's Monthly
for Octoberl
War is cruelty" said General Sherman; .'and
you cannot refine it," No man of refined
Christian sensihilities said the Duke of Yelling
ton, should undertake the profession of n
soldier" The exigencies of war often require
things to be done from which humanity revolts.
WAR said Napoleon L.. !" is the science of bar
barians." One of the principal objects of
Frederick in this pursuit Of the Aistrians through
Bohemia, was to lay waste the country,s utterly
destroying its roads and consumingits provisions
that no Austrian army could again pass through
it for the invasion of Sesia. Who can imagine
the amount of woe thus inflicted upon the
innocent peasants of Bohemia !? Both armies
were reduced to the necessity Of living mainly
upon the resources of the country in which they
were encamped. Their foraGing parties were
scattered in all directions. There were frequent
| attacks of outposts and bloody skirmishes, in
which many were slain and many were crippled
| for life. Each DEATH each wound. sent tears,
| and often lifelong woe, to some humble cottage.
There are sometimes great and glorious objects
to be objects which elevate and ennoble
a nation ora race-which warrant the expenditure
| of almost any amount OF temporary suffering.
| 1t is not the duty of the millions to suffer the
| proud and naughty hundreds to consign them to
| Ignorance and trample them in the dust. In this
| wicked world, where kings and mobiles have ever
| been SO ready to doom the masses of the people
| to ignorance, seryitude, and want, human rights
| have almostnevermade any advances but through
| the energies OF the sword. Many illustrious
| generals, who. with sadlened hearts, have led
their armies over fields Of blood, have been
among the most devoted friends and ornaments
of humanity. Their names have been enshrined
| in the affections of grateful millions.
But this war into which the Prnssian king had
SO recklessly plunged all Europe was purely IL
war of personal ambition. Even Frederick did
not pretend that it involved any question of hu-
man rights. Unblushinsy he avowed that he
| drew his sword and led his hundred thousand
peasant boys upon their dreadful career of car
mage and misery simply that lie might enlarge
| his territories, gain renown as cOnlneror, and
make the world talk about lin.

The French seems to be fighting with courage
and resolution, around Paris. We had news by

Joinville, yesterday, in which the Prussians were

butte great importance to the engagement which
occurred at Vessoux yesterday. The Prussians
suffered much from the French artillery hidden
in the woods. The battle lasted nearly all day.

LET ALI UNITE FOR REFORM

In a campaign, resting so entirely upon State
issues as does the present one, all good men
should be able to unite in favor of Reform. At
times in the past when parties have differed on
great National issues, they naturally drew lines
Of division on those issues clean down into State
and local politics.
But, at present. the sky is calm above and
around u.s. We can look at home. We are al
lowed ample opportunity to examine our local
affairs. We find them in bad condition, with
depressed credit, deprecated bonds, empty
treasury, and few monopolizing men fattening
themselves and their relatives among the ruins
of the public prosperity.
VIII not all join to remedy this disaster:
Will not every good citizen of Delaware unite
in overthrowing the close corporation of poll
ticians who are responsible for this condition of
things' Is there single man, outside of the
direct circle OF influence, which the patronage
welded by the Saulsburys exerts. who does not
see that ii is ruin to our public interests to allow
them to brood over and prey upon the whole
State?
Three classes, at least, Of the citizens OF Della
ware, are imperatively summoned to this work.
They are

3. The independent masses OF the Democratic

LEIPsIc, Kent. Co., DEL, Sept. 20.--The long
looked-for rain has at last come, and plenty of
it, too. The farmers in this neighborhood are
about done saving their fodder and owing to the
long spell of dry weather that work has been
performed with much advantage. The corn crop
is believed to be little better than that of last
year. Although the time for seeding wheat has
fully come there is yet but little of that crop
sown; true, all necessary preparations have been
made, and now the rain has come we may expect
that large crops will soon be in the ground
Peaches are about gone, and although it is be-
ievcd that embezzllng has been extensively
practised at the other end, there is strong talk
in favor of more new orchards next year.
The "Whte Mans Party" appear to have
Sheriff Oh the brain. On last Saturday they
held their Hundred meeting at the Squire's of
flee, in this town. turning out strongly in favor
of Samuel Hargadne, ESD, whose agents were
sent ont until quite knot were gathered.
Mr. Hargadirie managed some how or other to
have the packing all his own way. The following
are his delegates ex-Sherif Collins, John c.
Wilson, Jacob Sem, and George w. Spicer.
The last named, it appears, had charge of mat
tiers, and to the annoyance of some of those who
are not after the Deputy Sheriif's office, made
himself very ollcious
After considerable whispering candidates for
Assessor and Inspector were agreed upon, riz,

[From the Philadelphia Post September 20.l
The New York Times treats the question ably.
It said yesterday -
ssThere can be no question that the Republican
party are to gain, ia the approaching political
campaign, an important German vote. We hear
on every side that the German-Americans, who
have hitherto been members of the Democratic
party, have become Disguised with the course of
the Democratic leaders and journals on the
Franco-German question, and are coming over
in large numbers to the Republican side. 1t is
well understood by them that the leading organs
of the Democratic party have assaulted the cause
Of the Fatherland' with every weapon of
sarcasm and abuse The World has never ceased
vilifying the motives of the Germans and using
every possible argument to draw American sym.
patty from the Prussians. The Republican
journals, on the other hand, have almost unani-
mously sympathized with the struggle for
German unity. From the beginning they have
condemned the means which Louis Napoleon
used to acquire power, and the oppression he
has exercised over free thought and personal
liberty"
The reason why Democracy sympathzes with
Napoleonism why the Republicans at once and
the free thought of Germany need not be now
rehearsed. Germany" says the Times, EN-
bodied to onr minds the freer ideas of the age
freedom of thought and constitutional progress;
its army was a citizen army, and its strength,
like our own, lay in popular education. Its
Teutonc virtues were our own pains-taliing
industry, pure family life and the courage
which, though not often brilliant, grows firmer
from disaster" These also are reasons why
German-Americans must act with the Republican
party, and not with that organization which
| advocated Imperialism in Europe, for half a
century protected Slavery in America. and in our
recent war aided the enemies of the Union itself.
