we'd, that, to exhibit striking and impress
sive illustration of the great results of our
system of internal improvements, it be rec
commended to our fellow citizens Of the west,
that the first boat designed to proceed from
Lake Erie to New York, be accompanied
by bark Canoes Of Indian construction,
manned by voyageurs and the natives of
the Upper Lakes, in their usual and appro-
pirate costume, so that the union ofthe for

The Editor of the Portland Argus has
recently resumed his editorial chair, after
a pleasant journey of four weeks through
an interesting portion of Maine. We
make the following short extract from an
article in Tuesdays Argus, giving some
account O: his experience
al have returned better pleased with the
state than when left home, and have a
higher opinion of its wealth, its resources,
and prospective improvement, than had
before entertained. The route most of
the way was new to me, and must say, al
though have been more or less in tbir-
teen of the United States, have never
seen a more interesting and fourishing
portion Of the country, of like extent, than
Is found on the banks of fthe Androscoggin,
the Kennebec, the Sheepscot, the Damas-
Gotta, the st. George and the Penobscot
rivers, taking in the towns of Brunswick,
Topsham, Bath, Wiscasset, New Castle,
marlborough, Thomaston, Belfast, Cas-
tine, Bucksport, Bangor, Hampden, Nor
ridgewock, Watervillc, Augusta, Halo
,,. ...zm I'D Gardiner. The pleasantness Of
the prospect the grcster part Of the way
was in considerable degree abated by
Che thick smoke, occasioned BY the fres
running in the woods, which often obscur-
ed tue more distant landscapes and some
times confined the view within the circle
Of a mile. ] never before saw'the country
for so great an extent, so perfectly enve-
lopcd in smolte.-The drought has been
very severe; the crops Of wheat and pota-
toes haze suffered extremely, and the fires
have spread extensively in the woods, de-
stroying much timber, and IN some places
The dwellings of the inhabitants. Several
families were burnt out at Maxficld, about
thirty milos above Bangor, some account
of which was published in the papers two
or three weeks ago. was told that the
fire run at that place with such rapidity,
on cleared land as well as in the forests.
that the inhabitants we're in great danger
oflosing their lives, and some were oblig-
ed 10 wade into the river os far as they
could. holding their children in their arms,

SNoKE.-The smoky atmosphere which
enveloped this town and vicinity, from Fri
day to Tuesday, is said to have proceeded in
a great measure from the low lands in Bel
grade and Sidney, where the fire has seized
upon the peat they contained, and burned
in some places to the depth Of nearly ten
feet.
The late smoky atmosphere appears to
have extended as far south as Washington.

DESHFS TRIAL.

The second trial of Isaac B Desha has
taken place at Cynthiana, KY. and lasted
from the 2lst ult. to the night of the 2i;h
when the jury retired and in half an hour
returned a verdict ofguity. Judge Brown,
who presided, on motion of the counsel, on
the ground that no evidence had been sub
mitted to the jury proving where the mur-
der was committed, promptly granted ne,c
trial 1t is said the frivolous pretence on
which the Judge acted has excited the as
tonishment of his friends g. the Indignation
of the public. Gov. Desha, the father of
the accused attended through the trial. A
mother version says an informality in the in
dictment, was the ground Of the new trial
being granted, the prosecuting officer having
neglected to name the county in which
the murder was committed. If this last be
tue the alleged cause is sufficient.
M. DB CHArTELUx. Mr.. J. Brennan,
of Kingston n. Y. proposes to publish the
marquis de Chattelux's travels in North A.
merica, 1880 to 1883, in two large evo. VOL
umes, Of more than 300 pages each, at So
per set. The marquis was second in CON-
mand of the French troops under the count
de Rochambeau, during the last four years Of
the revolutionary war, and travelled, very
generally, through the United States. His
work abounds with anecdotes and sketches
of persons and things, and is very interest
ing to all who wish to be made acquaint ed
with that important period of our history.
BRADDocK. II was very generally
thought, at the time, that this unfortunate
leader was killed by one of his own men.
The person who committed the deed is
believed to have been named Fosset, who
lately died in Pennsylvania, at a very ad-
yanced age, and always asserted that he
had shot the general. The reason assign
ed was, that Braddock, HIMSELF had killed
his brother, short time previous, for some
real or supposed, disobedience Of orders.

From the Medical MfelHgencer.
FLANNEL.

From a review OF the different sub.
stances worn next the skin, it would ap-
pear that wool has greatly the advantage
over the others. Flannel, by its gentle
stimulus on the skin, has the bene6t ial
effect OF keeping the pores in state the
mos, favorable to perspiration. In fam
mel, the discharge by perspiration pro-
ceeds uniformly; but not SO in linen,
when soiled with the moisture of the
skin. The different effects Of flannel
and linen are particularly percep,ible du-
ring brisk exercise. When the body is
covered with the former, though perspi-
ration be necessarily increased, the per-
spired matter passes off through flannel
into the atmosphere or air, and the skin
remains dry and warm. II the same
exercise be taken in linen shirts, perspi-
ration, as in the former case, is indeed
also increased, but the perspired matter,
instead Of being dispersed into the atmos-
phere, remains upon the linen, and not
only clogs the pores, but gives disa-
grceab!c sensation.

MISSOURI FLOUR.

Major Bollinger shipt on board the
Stubenvilie about the middle OF August
a hundred Barrels OF Flour, for the port
of New.Orleans. On It's arrival IN that
city it was inspected, and passed as Su-
perGue. A large quantity OF Flour from
Baltimore arrived there al ne same time,
but without injuring the sale OF the Mis-
souri, Flour; as it was considered equal
10 the Baltimore Flour, and sold as high.
The Tobacco sent from Missouri has
been esteemed the best in the market
where it arrived, and was sold--and we
anticipate a favorable reception OF our
Cotton in the Orleans market. The
cotton raised in this County and Perry is
rather short staple-but it is very fine,
white and clean.
