STATE House, AUGUSTA.
Wednesday, March l3, 1889.
Colonel Charles Jarvis, our temporary
land agcn', who has command Of our forces
on the Aroostook, arrived here last evening:
lie left h s encampment, which is at present
%rar tn mouth Of The Aroos ook, and about
80 m les from tue l,ne OF the Sat-, on the
9tr In>l MOI appreIrndmg any a ack

New Brunswick, Colonel Jarvis has is.
charged uSoul 400 OF his men. Those that
remain are engaged IN constructing boom
across the Aroos.ook, for the purpose &:
stopping the timber tina; may come down.
Col. Jarvis visits Angus tins time, learn,
o communicate to The Executive some To-
cal Information he has obtained, and TO
recommend that the forces, to be retained
on the Aroos,ook territory, should be en-
ployed IN constructing roads.
General Ilodsdon has been ordered 10
The Aroos. ook. HIS head quarters will he
OIL the Aroos:ook, at The mouth Of The Pres.
que Isle, and about ten miles from the en-
campmcnl of CO.. JARVIS. The Kenrrbec
troops are ordered TO No. 4, on The Ar os.
took TOAD. and here to awail for orders from
General 1ods1on. Tne detachmen,s from
the Ox,ord and Cumberland divisions are
yet here. l understand they will remain
here until there has been some action by
the Legislature on the Governors mes
sage.
lav' no doubt the Legislature will sus.
tam the views of the Governor. and .au'i'or-
ize him to keep Il sufficient force on thu dis
puted territory. TO prorct the timber from
depredaiions. Ii Sir John Harvey co,sen:s
to this. and it is generally supposed here
that he will, there will then be IN end TO
our prescht difficulties.
The reported appointment of Mr.. CAL
houn rs special minister 10 England is not
believed here. His appointment would not
be- at all acceptable to this State. Our go
pie arc unanimous in the opinion that the
selection should be made from Maine or
Massachusetts. So far MS have heard any
Individual named, Mr.. Webster, is the deci.
ded favorl c. 1t is understood that our
Governor and Council are unanimously IN
his favor. Will the President disregard the
wishes Of Maine on this subject!
Gen. Scott is yet here, and | learn will
remain several days.
We have had II in mind, for several days
past to correc. the general impression,
founded on The repeated deman IS of Gov.
erno7 Fairfield for the withdrawal Of the
British troops from the disputed terr'ory,)
that Sir John Harvey has forces Stationed
there. The truth is that he has none to
Withdraw. Not one of his "myrmidons"
has set foot on the disputed ground, as we
have known I'll along. and as is now declared
in TIC following cxrrac, from letter, dated
ST JOHN, N. B. 9Th inst.
"Wed not believe that the State of Maine
can act 50 madly as 10 drive our countries
into rulnous war. There is not, nor has
here been as yet. one armed man from our
81 e sent within the dispa ed territory; nor
" II there be if the Stale of Maine recall her
armed force. We trust altogether 10 the
tirmness of your General Government, in
restraining Name from any acts that would
;end to bring the two countries in collision. !"
The Halifax Nova Sco,an says that one
wing of the 22d Regiment was under
marching orders tor New Brunswick.
From the Boston Courier.
From HaHfar-Ila'ifax papers 10 the
afternoon ofthe 7,h inst. have been received
bv the schr. Adele at this port.
The Nova ScotIan Of the 6th says -
"An express arrived this morning from
Canada. We learn that Sir John Colborne,
at the earnes, solicitation Of Sir John Har-
vev, has ordered the ll,h regiment 10 the
Madawaska Territory" ~
The tone Of the Nova Scotan is far less
clustering THAI some oilers of The Halifax
lpapers. In az auicI,, reviewing the boun.
slary gus, ,on, sad tnc measures which have
been adopted by both sides, in relation
thereto, it says :-"sr John Harvey, and
the authorities of the U. States, are at issue
on what would be thought mere matter
of fact, capable Of almost instant adjust.
ment, but which, in the intricacy which fire.

may be knotty problem.
