The laucntabc effects Of too great indul'
geuce 10 the use of Intoxicating drinks have
increased 30 alarminely Of late that the friends
of temperance have been stimulated to re-
newed cxcrions. They arc now pushing their
crusade at every available point, aud arc re-
ceiviDg effective reinforcements. Gen. Sher
man yesterday issued general order 10 rela-
lion to dismssals from the army for intemper-
auoe. 1t says the President desires it to be
made known to the army that he cannot be led
to uuderratc the magnitude of the evil which
the crime alluded to is likely to produce in the
public service. No person addicted to it can
expect to be entrusted with any responsible
duty, and person that canrot be trusted had
better not be continued in Office. 1t must there.

Senator Hoar has introduced bill in the u.
S. Senate to apply the proceeds Of the sales OF
the public land, and amounts received from rail
roads indebted 10 the United States to the es
tablishment CT 40 educational fund. The money
received is to be invested 10 four per cent bonds,
and to be appoItioncd by the Secretary Of the
Treasury to The different States and Territories.
We hope this bill or another one with the same
apparent object may pass. The retention By
the Government of the public laods is constant
incentive to fraudulent efforts to obtain it. and
there certainly never was time when the
States stood 10 greater need of it. The great
difficulty Virgioia is now 10 with regard to her
public debt is occasoncd by the immense sum
she has to raise Annually to pay the expenses
