gather the following items:
"Of Madeira discovered no shoal cor

Lieut.. Wilkes thus concludes:
Thus, sir, we effected the examination
Of the supposed position of even shoals or
dangers, which occupied their places on
the charts much to the alarm of navigators.
And | sincerely trust that the result of our
endeayors and diligent seach, with the OK
egtions hitherto made by others, will be
sufficient to cause them TO be obliterated
from the Charts, as there are already real
dangers sufficient to awaken the watchful-
ness ofthe navigator, without his being
harassed with imaginary ones"

THE TELEGRAPH.
B AT H M E.:
THURSDAY MORNING. APRIL 4,
PEACE DECLARED.

Inv u IAIlGOs
The reader will observe III this paper, the
correspondence which has passed between
Gen. Scott, It. Gov. Harvey and Gov.
Fairfield, in relation to our Boundary affairs.
BY this agreement, Sir John, abandons his
threat to expe our troops, and leaves Maine,
in possession of the ground she assumed,
when she undertook to drive off the tres
passers, so far as the Aroostook Country is
1t must be borne in mind,
however, that Maine makes a very large
concession, in conserving not to disturb the
possession and jurisdiction, as claimed and
exercised by Sir John, over the Madawas-
ka section Of the territory,-or in other
words over an undoubted, and extensive
portion Of The Sovereign State of Maine.
By this agreement, we freely yield 10 Sir
John, temporarily at least, what we have
hitherto, righteously, we think, denied. We
must confess, we do not very much admire
the means by which this affair, has assumed
its present aspect We have always justi-
fled Gov Fairfield, in not communicating
with Sir John, respecting driving off the
tespassers, because we could apprehend
no reason for it, as in the case of Gov
Kent, respecting the running of tho line,
&c. and on the other hand we thought, il
might prejudice, our claims, and place US
in an humiliating position. According to
our views, however, the course alluded to,
would have beer far better, than the stipu-
latons, which Gov. Fairfield, has just a.
greed to, in as much as it have saved all
the attending trouble and immense expense,
accomplished just as much, and perhaps
more, and under TIE same course of man
agement, commenced and recommended
by Gov. Kent, would have brought tho
question to final settlement, as soon, To-
say the least, as can now be expected by
rejecting men, after the late extraordinary
admissions.
In regard to this business, we lay all
parry MOVIES aSluc,-We WISH 10 Spfdk, as
all American citizen-a citizen Of Maine.
1t may be we have erred in our conclusions
above but we think, after careful cousid-
Grafton, our readers will agree with us, that
we do not gain any essential advantages by
the stipulations referred to. The substance
OF the whole matter is simply this we
grant TO Sir John the jurisdiction and pos
session, for the present, Of that portion Of
the territory, which is of the most conse-
que'ice to the British provinces, and which
is oar just property, as clear as MONDAY,
beyond the shadow of doubt, and to which

forward no plausible claim whatever and
lie in return, very graciously condescends

SCHOOLS.

Wenolice by the last Providence (R. ~
papers, that the inhabitants of that city
have recently voted by large majority, TO
establish High School. The vote, on tho
question, was as follows,-in favor 572--
against, 255.
This subject, has excited a good deal Of
interest, in almost every place, where tbs
permanent success and usefulness Of schools
has been literally appreciated. We are
glad to believe that our citizens are Begin
ming to take the subject into serious con-
sderation; and we trust, that something
viii be done 10 elevate Our schools, and
place them upon some permanent and sys-
tematic basis.
The following scraps, which we have
from high authority, as will be seen, may
serve to fix the attention Of our friends. to
the subject BY and by, we shall prepare
"a more extended view of the system alluded

A year ago, Mr. Saltonstall, then Mayor
of Salem, wrote TO gentleman of Provi-
dence, strongly in favor Of this school sys-
tenn, especially Of The High School, of
which they have two,* classical and an

body of the citizens feel deep interest in
the schools, and are very sensitive on the
subject they never complain of the ex-

extending acts Of 1887 were unconstitu'lon-

ton of the New School General Assembly,
in 1888, being an act Of resistance to an
unconstitutional act, was right and proper.

turned with verdict in favor of the plain

NORTH EASTERN BOUNDARY The fol-
lowing extract from the Eclectic Review,
published in London, February LIST, 1889,
shows that there is no universally establish
'ed opinion in England, in favor either Of
the validity of the British claim, or Of the
great value of the territory claimed.
1.-THE northeastern boundary line has
been subject OF national controversy, ever
since the treaty of Client in 1914: From
the period of the definitive treaty of peace
in the year 1888, thirty years before, a
question on that topic had never arisen.
Nor would any disputed claim have ap-
peared to this day. had it not been ascer-
tained during the war of l8 l2 to 1915, that
no land communication between Quebec
and Halifax existed, except through the
northern part ofthe State of Maine, unless
by route so Gil cuitous that is is equiva-
lent TO non intercourse. A claim, the:e-
fore, was commenced, for all that portion
,of the country which thus formed barrier
10 nearly direct route between Canada
and New Brunswick.
sTwo facts ia this connection are re-
markable. The whole contested territory
at present is not worth good farm near
London or Boston,-au the treaty which
defines the boundary is just as evident as
water flowing tits natural course. A more
easily decided question can scarcely be
proposed, because the current of water is
both visible and tangible"
Now it is therefore cheering, that the
British periodicals coalesce with the judg-
soenf and feelings OF American citizens Of
this topic, and strenuously urge the main
ssnanee OF concord
