MAINE.

BOSTON, AUG. /.
We have few additional votes on the
question Of the Separation of Maine, but
il is not necessary to detail them. The
question is incontrovertibly settled by
an immense majority; and from the
unanimity which prevails in Maine, we
may safely anticipate, that after the Esd
inst. (the last Gay for receiving the
votes his excellency the governor will
issue his proclamation, announcing the
fact of the affirmative decision of the peo-
pie on the question, and directing them
to proceed to the choice of delegates to
meet in convention in Portland, on the
l lth day of October. This convention
will then form new constitution for
Maine, and make formal application
to the congress of the United States TO
be admitted into the Union, as an indie
pendent state. The constitution agreed
upon will be submitted to the people,
will be adopted by them, and returns be
made of their approval prior to the first
of January, 1920. Provision will then
be made for the immediate choice of a
governor, senate, and house of represen-
tatives. These will be organized, the
admission of the state into the Union be
voted by congress, and Maine will be in
the exercise of sovereignty, as an indie
pendent state on the 18th day of March
next; consequently will have no voice
in the election Of governor, lieutenant
governor, and senators of Massachusetts
on the first Monday of .Ahru next

A SILVER MINE.

The following information respecting
a silver mine somewhere in the neigh
borhood of Baltimore, was verbally COM
municatcd by a person who, it is be-
lieved, knew the facts. From his re-
presentations to the writer, it is sup
posed to lie to the eastward of this city,
not farther distant than 20 miles, but
probably within 10 or 10 miles. 1t is
stated, that one had been found or
years ago, at the side of hill, in an
opening from which a small spring of
water issued, which has since been near
ly closed up by an old stump or piece
Of wood, to prevent any person discover
ing the ore. That, in August, 1917, at
the time of the great rain and wind, an
old tree blew down on the hill above the
spring, at the roots of which there were
found some pieces of nearly pure virgin
silver; end there were evident SYM
toms that the hill contained great
quantity Of ore. The rocks or stones on
the hill are tlinty, mixed with some
chrystolizations. The hill is partially
covered with whortleberry bushes and
other small shrubbery and few old

In this city last week, 90 persons were

by fever, and that too of the ordinary
kinds, are very few, only five having &C.
Cured the past week.
We have observed in the marine lists
from various ports, that considerable
quantities of SPECIE have flowed into
our country for two or three weeks past.
Several arrivals, mentioned day, have
brought that invaluable article.
General Brown has issued division Or
ders, expressing his satisfaction at the
excellent state OF police and discipline in
which he found the troops at the posts
on the western lakes, which he has re.
Gently visited. He particularly comph-
ments captain Pierce, at Greenbay, un-
der captain Whistler; and assures major
Baker, whose command he could not
visit, Of the entire confidence in the high
order of his post.

A gentleman from Middlebury relates
to us an event which has excited no small
degree of surprise. Sometime last week
body of earth, some distance below the
falls, between Mildlebury village and
Weybridge, containing about acres,
together with dwelling and some other
buildings thereon, precipitated itseIffrom
a side hill, some distance, into the creek,
and so completely damned up the water
that the creek became nearly dry below,
and the mills all stopped at Vergennes.
The water, however, after rising about
Is feet, found its way through, in diff
ferent direction from the usual channel.
There was family living in the house,
which, we are happy to find, though very
muchtrightened, werenotmaterially hurt.
The buildings were completely demo
iishcd.

very crooked chestnut or chestnut oaks.
The old tree which blew down is still
lying on the hill. The gentleman upon
whose estate the ore was found, is We
ry old man, whose hair is white, OF con-
siderable wealth; he is unacquainted
with the fact that any ore has been found
ON his land-he has (or had not long
since) five children; one of his sons has
been married and has lost his wife. The
hill is supposed to lie near the road, III
an open, poor, rocky part of the country,
near a run which would answer for a
small mill seat during part of the
year. Some of the ore has been sent to
the mint at Philadelphia, and it is said,
would yield seventy per cent. If
such mine exists, the discovery Of it at
this time would be benefit to the nation
as we'll as to the individual owner, who
may probably ascertain its situation
from the above description.

A number of patriots are daily arriv-
ing and departing for the Texas expedi-
ton. They are all in good spirits, and
look like robust country fellows. Gen.
Long is now encamped few miles be-
low the Sabine river, and has upwards
of 500 men with him, well equipped.
Yesterday news reached here that 500
men had arrived at Galveztown on their
march for Texas to join Gen. Long.
1t is said they have been sent there by
DR.. Robinson, formerly Of Natchez. 1t
is generally believed that the expedition
will succeed, provided it be managed in
a right manner. Some of our most re-
putable citizens have offered their GER
vices to assist the patriots. 1t is very
automatically reported that 500 or 1000

Some considerable agitation was ex-

de Cuba, reporting that some serious
disturbances had taken place with
the ***s**.; that they had assembled in
number about 500, and demanded their
freedom, and the possession of a certain
tract of land, and that the governor had
capitulated to their terms. The cause
of such proceedings on the part of the
s*ss***, as well IS the pusillanimous &C
quiescence of the governor, | am totally
Ignorant of:-for you may readily con
ccive the wise policy of our government
in smothering rumors SO pregnant with
the most awful results. 1t is said some
troops are about to embark for that
place, and by others that some have al
ready gone.
