Il thiuk that it is needful that
something should be said that
would have tendency to reform
our community--to tear out from
the b. SONS Of some WHO have coiled
Within their breast: the most dead
ly serpent in existence. 1t is of
no use for Us to go back and read
the history of past years 10 6nd
ont the many evils this serpent
has been guilty OF. For We can
see its evil influences around us
ever day-almost in our own
doors ready to sling US with it's
deadly poison if we but touch it.
| allude, of cour sc, to malt liquors.
What has intemperance done for
our country And what is it
still doing? We may answer
these interrogatories by asking
what has it not done2 We see
that many of our brightest men
are being led captive by it. We
see that many lofty intellects have
been dragged down from the sub
lime field of philosophy, to the
lowest depth Of degradation and
the ioulest haunts of shame. In.
temperance bas annually des
troyed many thousands of our
fellow men, consigning them to
drunkards' graves, and seriously
multiplying widows and orphans.
Il las filled the jails and peniten.
tiaries of the United States with
criminals, who have sacrificed
character, society, and friends for
strong drink. 1t has loaded the
country with tax Of millions for
the support of its paupers. 1t
has palSied the industry, destroyed
the morals, degraded the charac-
t r of our country. 1t has caused
more trouble and trials than wal +,
famine or p silence. Aud is there
any good thing in it TO counter
balance these alarming effects ?
1t destroys labor and also domes
tic happiness, and ruins the wealth
and prosperity of our country
We think it is time that public
opinion should awakened aud
take such steps as will be most
likely 10 terminate this evil
Petersburg has taken one step to-
wards reforming the habits OF this
community, (Which it needs bad.
ly;) that is 10y organizing a lodge
of Good remplars, which was
done a few nights since. Many
have signed the pledge OF total
abstinance, and no many more
will follow their noble example.
The pledge they signed to drink no wine
Nor brandy red to turn their head,
Nor whisky hot that makes the sot
Nor fiery rum to turn their homo
Into hell where none can dwell;
Yes, here they sign perpetual hate
To everything that can intoxicate.
The fair ladies of our country
should lend them their helping
hand, for as the glorious reforma-
tion advances it dries up the foun-
tains of their grief, and turns
their tears OF bitterness into tears
o. joy and gladness. Then let ali
who have not thrown their inhu
ence in this good cause, cast their
mite, however small it may be, in
to the kcale of the Temperance
reformation. Uuder what king
will we fight? PHILoX,

Another Mammoth Cave.

The discovery of anew Mammoth
Cave" ia Kentucky is reported. II close
to place called "Split Rocks, in Boone
county, and Is causing much excitement.
The local papers say that the neighbor-
hood has been the resort for picnics for
year,; and yet, until July 18th, ult., it
has remained entirely unknown. The
cave, 50 iar as explored, is said to be
more than two miles long, and il contains
single chambers no less than 100 feet in
length hy 40 in width and 20 in heigth.
Limestone forums the entrance and gen.
orally the sides of the cave, while the
roof consists of kind Of heavy shale.
The walls are often incrustcd with iron,
and manganese, interspered with shining
crystals Of gympsum. Pendent from
the ceiling are beautiful stalactites. the
growth of ages and these in some Of the
halls, extend quite to the floor, thus con-
stituting imposing ranges of columns.
Ii il probable that most interesting ac-
counts will soon be made public Of arti-
cles found in the cave. Already arrow
heads. tomahawks, and other utensil',
bearing marks of the hand of the red
man, have been discovered, and there is
strong probability that further researches
will add largely to the relics thus at the
outset stumb ed upon.-Obseuer and Re

Tae Polit,raI Atmo-rI,crc.

Within the last few weeks the political
atmo9herc has been greatly stirred. The
strifthas been greatly aggravated, and
thos.who are foremost in the fight have
beer greatly slandered Greeley and
Bren have received their share of the
ahee, and so have the Hon. Charles
SINNER, Trumbull, Gratz Brown, Blair
al all others who have identified them
slyes with the Liberal party. Of course,
lis abuse has come from the Radical
,arty. 1t could have come from no other
source, md the cause Of its coming is
found IN the fact that those men-deter-
mined not to be overridden by the party
10 power, have set their seal against be-
ing dictated to by those who would make
mere party slaves of them. All honor
10 the bra &c and gallant men who, rising
above party influence, have determined
not 10 be made slaves Of.
The time has come when men deter
mine to rise above and break the shackles
of party which have long bound them,
and we rejoice to know that such is the
fict. The war is now over. The ami
mosities which were engendered during
that long strife, have, in great measure,
died away. 1t is not right that We should
longer indulge them. bpt rather, and far
better, that We should forge, them. The
time has come, that we, the free people
of this country. should form new party
for the purpose of defeating the corrupt
party now in power. The election of

Of free government is in his election in
