Belfast Post Office, Seff 2, 1914.
The Enemy have taken Castine and

In addition to the above, passenger in
the Eastern stage that arrived on Saturday
evening, reports that he saw the command

tine, from whom he learnt that on Thurs
day last, British force, composed of men
of war and transports, with 5000 men land.
ed at Castine and took psaceable possession
of that place-I'he regular troops, consisting
of abou, $50 men, finding that the British
were landing in their rear, apparently with
the view of cutting off their retreat, blew up
the fort, and made good their retreat to
Bucksiown.
The British respected private property
sent flag to Belfast and informed them
that provided they made no resistance, they
should not be injured, and Immediately
despatched 600 men 10 take possession of
the place.-The gentleman further informs
us that a sloop of war, 2 briggs and two
smaller vessels, one of which was supposed
to be bomb vessel, went up the river with
the view Of capturing the Corvette Adams,
which is repairing at Hampden-where
Capt Morris is said to have SO guns
mounted. Should this be the case the force
tina. has gone up will be inadequate to
destroy the Adams.
Ye authors of the war, behold the
situation you have brought the coun-
try into.

Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday were
the days OF election for representatives to
the state Legislature and to Congress. Mr..
Duysl our present representative To Con-
eress, declined a reelection. He was not
in high favor with administration, Tor he
would nor support any measure, merely be-
Cause the President recommended it. He
would, undoubtedly have been elected, had
he offered Gen Wllion, * Benz Hardin,
Esq were the two candidates. Hardin has
been accused OF the abominable sin OF Fed
eralism. Walton Is man who, it IS be-
leved, would in tue language o. this Coun-
try, "trsck full aud fair :" that is, would,
ike dutiGul child, do what his father the
President should bid him. Hardin was
elected by majority OF between 400 and
500 voles. He is a man OF about so years
of age, of sterling integrity, and very res
p ctable talents, and as independent as DIR.
Johnson. He has sufficient ability TO have
confidence in himself, and Sufficient integ-
rity andindependence to speak and act &C
cording to the dictates ot his reason and
judgement, unbiased by Presidential recon-
mendation, and unawed by popular Glamour
con i Ter his election as real triumph of
principle.
he term Federalism is not half SO great
bugbear in Kentucky as it was two or
three years ago MIR. Rowan, a man Of
exalted talents, and commanding e!oquence,
who has been an open and avowed Federal
ist for or 8 years, offered for the Legisla
ture in Is IL and obtained hardly $50 votes !;
last year he was barely elected, but this
year he had more than 40 votes more than
any other Candidate. The other two mem
bers Tor this County, do not think Mr.. Mad
ison infallible, his cabinet wise, or his Mea-
sures efficient.
Kentucky has been ruled by faction at
Lexington, who have but too successfully
attempted to give tone to the political senii
meDts Of the State bu, that faction, thank
God, is loosing its influence.

SHORT ROAD TO-PEACE.

. The idea of a New Road to Peace
suggested in a late Boston Centinel,
takes well even among many of Mr..
Madison's quondam friends. 1t not
only has the recommendation of be-
ing new, but it is. a very short one
also. BY a law Of the u. S. it is
provided in case Of the death or re-
signation of the President. and Vice
President, the President pro TEN. of
the Senate shall execute the duties O!
Chief Magistrate for the time being.
Now as Congress are to convene in
a few days, let the present incum-
bents in the Offices of p. and V. p.
resign-give them, if thought best, a
pension of $4,000 and $4,000 per
ann. for the remaining two years, and
let the Senate elect the Hon. RUFUS
KING, President of that body pro
tenn. and he becomes, by virtue
thereof, Chief Magistrate OF the In
ion, of course. Then with a proper
Cabinet, there is no doubt but that a
speedy & advantageous Peace would
be negotiated.

From the accounts it appears the force
which captured Wasi.ington,did not exceed

Ross who served under Lord Wellington

they had no intention vi making any per.

more natural advantages than this for defensive

c,iizans. with some pecunisry aid, this hsrbor
might easily be rendered impregnab.e 10 any
naval force Of he enemy. Let the new Battery
forthwith be completed and furnished with II "a

continue the works by q Covert wsy from FISH
Point to Fort Burrows. All this can readily be
done if the same spirit continues which ANNA.

hsbitants OF Westbrook is worthy the example
of all. When the country comes forth, let moi
