| TIE Dam ACROSS THE KENNEBEc.-
We find in the National Egis, the fol-
lowing description Of the dam across the
Kennebec, which has been rendered
altogether useless by the late freshet:
"Three or four years since compa-
ny was formed for the purpose of raising
the water OF the Kennebec river, crea-
ting On immense moving power, and
erecting manufacturing establishments.
A dam was thrown across the stream
about a mile above the beautiful VIII
lage Of Augusta. The rolling part in
the centre OF the river, six hundred feet
in length, was built Of hemlock logs
from one foot to three feet in diameter,
locked together and we'll secured with
iron bolts and treenails, and the inter.
sticks filled with heavy stone. The base
was l26 feet thick, the top was capped
with stone, and the upper slope loaded
with ballast and gravel-the height
above the bed Of the river was AZ feet,
above the level Of ordinary high tides at
the foot OF the dam I6 g feet. On the
! "Sot oioS W 10 u IoCh VI UhSSIbc
ry, about l3 l.2 feet above the Top OF
the rolling dam. AT each end were
sluices Of heavy stone work, by which
the water was TO be drawn into canals
and carried along the banks below TO be
poured on the wheels OF machinery
The whole length Of tho dam with its
abutments, locks, and sluices, could not
have been less than about 1000 feet
II raised pond about Is miles long, Of
the average breadth Of 100 feet, and
from 10 TO Is deep. The cost Of the
structure was very great; it has been
estimated from 100000 to 100000.
Extensive saw mills had been built on
tho west side Of the dam, to manufacture
lumber hoated down from the northern
townships. The plan was similar to that
by which the waters of the NIcrrimack
have been turned from their bed to opc.
rate the vast works at Lowell. Had il
been successful, in the capital Of Maine,
another city OF corporations, with its
streets Of manufactures and miles Of
operatives might have been reared to
rival the great workshops of production
in Massachusetts"

LEcToR OF New York ?-The attempt
Of the Globe to make an exclusive Wing
of the late Collector of New York, since
his defalcation Of a million or more, is a
failure. The Baltimore Patriot has been
examining the records Of the Senate,
and it finds that every Wing Senator in
the Senate voted against confirming the
nomination. The following is the re-
cord Of the transaction:
On the l4th of January, 1880, the ap-
pointment was sent to The Senate for
confirmation, and was imme ediateIy met
with decided opposition.
On the 25th Of March, 1880, MIR.
SanfoId, Of IN. w. presented the me-
mortal of Jacob Vanderpool and others,
praying that his nomination might not
be confirmed and OH the same day,
Mr.. Holmes, of Maine, presented the
representation Of Gerrit Forbes, on the
saline subject, which were both referred
TO The committee on Commerce.
The Journal Of the Senate Of March
90, (page 44O, is as follows:
The Senate resumed the considera-
ton Of the nomination of Samuel Swart-
wout. On the question, Will the Sen
advise and consent TO this appointment
1t was decided in the ailirmative-yeas

yeas and nays being desired by one
fifth of the Senators present, those who
voted in the affirmative are

TIE JARVIS DIVORCE CASE
DECIDED

| This highly interesting and exciting trial
has Just been brought to a close. Yesterday,
at q O'Clock, Mr.. Belts, for the respondent,
commenced his argument, but gave way be.
fore he had concluded his remarks, OH &C.
count of indIsposition. Mr.. Sherman com.
mcnccd soon after 10 o'clock at l2 an
adjournment took place till o'clock, and at
g, Mr.. Sherman ended one of the most bril-
liant displays of that oratory for which he is
SD distinguished. The audience had in
creased beyond the capacity of the hall to
hold them, very large proportion being fc.
males, who take sides strongly, as well as
others.
This morning, at the opening of the Leg
sla,ure on the part of the House, Mr.. Curtis
chairman of the committee, made n very in
teresting and able report, blaming both par.
ties, and at the same time exonerating both
from any thing that could seriously affect
the character Of either, which he followed
with highly gifted and feeling speech, set.
ting forth the facts rs they appeared before
the committee, in n clear and forcible man.
ner. Many of their acts, he thought, ought
E"ver to have come before the public, and
they ought TO 60 home, make up, each make
concessions and be happy--which every

of attainment. DR.. Brownell, another Of the
committee, followed rather blaming the pc.
titioner; he said the facts were not proved
us set forth in the petition, and that divorce
could not be granted. Mr.. Foster followed
with his views, which were against the grant
ing divorces in any case.
Mr.. Dutton next followed, in an able and
impartial speech, for the acceptance of the
report, which was that a divorce could not
be granted, that Mrs. Jarvis be allowed tu
Withdraw her petition, and that the parties
might be rcconciled and yet live happy. lie
made strong appeal TO the House, on ac-
count Of the young family, who would lose
if the petition was granted, much Of that kind
protection which they needed.
Mr. Clark, from Saybrook, the native town
of Mrs. Jarvis, was next up. lie wen,
strongly for the petitioner, and was followed
by Mr.. Brooks, of Meridcn, in a short speech
of great good sense, hoping the House would
accept the rcport-deprecating the evils
growing out ofthc granting ofso many divor.
ces as had been allowed by the Legislature
now in session, and sending the parties home
there to settle all their difficulties. lle knew
nothing against either of the parties, and as
nothing had been proved against the moral
character Of either, he thought that if the
offcous in,ormcddIpg Of friends would cease,
they might yet become models for those in
the lower walks Of life.
Tho previous question was here called for
by Mr.. Ellsworth, Of East Windsor, after a
Few sensible remarks on the length of time
which had been occupied in this case. The
question was sustained, with little or no op.
position, aud the report accepted.

UNION or the OPPosITIoS =" What

"celebrated English statesman, " what
"evcr factions may arise, let the friends
"of liberty lay aside The groundless dis
"tinCtions which are employed to amuse

"ance the cause Of their country, and
'they will confirm The good, reclaim the
"bad, vanquish the incOrrigible, and
"make the constitution triumph even
"over corruption"
These lessons are full of wisdom ap.
plicable to the present condition Of the
great party in opposition to the Federal
administration. The result Of the re-
cent election in VIRGINIA demonstrates,
that a sincere and cordial cooperation
Of the WHIGs and CONSERVATIVES
through bout THE Union, will be adequate
to the overthrow of the corrupt cabal
now in power ut Washington. 1t is re-
duced to mathematical certainty that
Mr.. VAN BvREN cannot be reelected,
unless the parties in opposition are false
to each other and to themselves. We
must abandon prejudices and'partialities;
looking only to the one paramount object
Of all good citizens and honest men.-
We must not suffer ourselves to be d.
vided by the intrigues Of our open ene-
mics, nor by the intrigues Of ambition
and aspiring men in our own ranks
Local excitements, personal prejudices,
individual piques and passions must be
merged in the great common cause -

"ore-We must resi- gu all passions save
"our purpose-WE MUST BEHOLD Nc
OBJECT SAVE OUR COUNTRY ~
The selection of their Presidential
candidate is now a topic full Of interest
ard full of peril to the Who's. lfthere
is any man in their ranks TO whom the
eyes Of the country are turned by com
mon consent, as the successful champion
of constitutional liberty as the advocate
and excmplar of the great principles for
which the WHIGs have been 40 long
cont ending if the common voice Of n
grateful and intelligent people hail any
individual as their delvcrer, and claim
to circle his brows with the laurels Of
their certain triunph-that man will be
unanim ously selected by the National
Conve ntion as their candidate, and will
be elected by the people, President Of
the United States. Such man there
must be in our ranks. II is for the peo.
pie TO hume him-a people not unob-
servant Of the course Of our public men,
not unable to appreciate their merits, not
ungrateful for the tolls they have shared,
and the services they have rendered -
n people, that will not be guilty of that
idle and childish fckleness that is to be
caught only by new names, and that
would select candidates as the sex Sc
Iect their dresses, looking merely to the
latest fashion "a people that will no,
abandon their just preference and their
settled opinion, to soothe disappointed
pride, to cOnsumrnate far-reaching in
irigue, to crafty individual resentment,
or to nggrand'ze unscrupulous ambition.
