A telegraphic dispatch to the New York Times, says that the President has given orders to the commander OF Fort Moultrie to surrender that fort to the South Carolina traitors should they attack it. If this report is true, it would be an open act of treason, and should be punished without delay. II Mr.. Buchanan has really ordered the surrender of Fort Moultrie, he should be Immediately impeached by the House of Representatives, his Office de- clared vacant and himself tried for treason. Such an act would render the treason of Burr, or even Arnold, respectable.

EDITOR ADVERTISER: Permit me through the columns of your paper to submit to the Good Templars and friends of temperance in Nemaha, Richardson, johnson, Pawnee and Gage counties, the fol- lowing recommendation of the Con- gressiOnal Temperance Society: believing that the habitual use of intoxicating liquors as a beverage causes poverty, suffering and crimes; that there is safety alone in total alb stinance, and that the personal pledge and cooperative effort tend to secure and maintain such abstinance, the Congressional Temperance Society suggest and recommend to the minis teTs and to the churches, to all tenn perance organizations and the philan- thropist and patriots throughout the land, to hold simultaneous meetings in their several towns, townships and city wards, on the 22d of Febru- ary next, the birthday of Washington, and unite in the organization of Union Temperance Societies, based on the simple pledge of total abstinance from all that intOxicates, and to adopt prac- ticable measures to have such pledge presented to every man, woman and child over ten years of age. There are millions of members of christian churches and public schools, and mil lions of those whom it is believed might be pursuaded to pledge their faith, truth and honor wholly to alb stain from the use of intoxicating drinks; and this Society believes if a concerted, vigorous and persistent eff fort were made to that end, One-third of the nation would, within a few months, be thus pledged and en- rolled" 1t is to be hoped that the friends of temperance in the above counties will consider the importance of the sug- gestion and act in accordance with its recommendation and as but one tenn perance organization exists in this dis trict, viz. The ''Independent Order of Good Templars, /" it is earnestly de- sired by the Grand Lodge of Nebras- ka, that all existing lodges be revived and new ones organized in every town and precinct.

MoRRis AND WILLIs's HOME JoURsAL. The prospectus Of the new volume Of this beautiful and altogether unique fam lily newspaper has been published for some days past, and we now take the pleasure of editorially calling the atten- ton Of the public to it, far and near. In everything that can distinguish fan cy from hummery, genius from medioc- rity, and sparkling originality from in ane twaddle, the Home Journal is as far superior to the great body of the Amer ican weekly press as the stars are above the city lamps. The exquisite. versa tile and inexhaustible genius of N. p. Willis, and the perfect taste, sound ex- Perience, and admirable judgment Of George p. Morris, are exclusively devo. ted to enriching the pages Of the Home Journal, while they have naturally drawn around them brilliant group of contributors, both men and women, to Wuoii " ih hl hoiiOi W 20 ioT'l III nuCii distinguished md widely trusted com panionship. A minor but particular ex- cellencc of the Home Journal is the freshness and raciness of its selections In this labor the editors are continually opening unworked literary piacers, bring ing up only the riches, and purest Jumps, and then passing on to oihers--leaving he scrappng, cleaning, digging and washing for crumbs, to- those who come after. We need not refer especially TO the different attractive fc ttures Of the new volume, as they are very perspicuous y setitrih in tie prospectus, which, we trust. everybody will read. After that, send your name to Mcssrs. Morris and Willis, and secure the most elegant, at tractivc, and valuable family weekly journal ever established in America Day Book.
