DR.. Coolidge.

The Thomaston Recorder publishcsa letter
from DIR. Coolidge, in which he gives Mr.,
Young credit for kindness manifested towards
lin while on the journey from Augusta to
rhomaston, and also since his arrival at Thorn
,stOn.
The following is an extract from the letter,
giving an account of his feelings while par
taking of the last meal he is probably ever to
,artake of, outside of the walls of prison:

fellow creatures, should be on his journey to
that place, to experience, as it were, death an
life! But alas, it was so and believing 1t to
be Dtspeasation of Providence, sat and par
took of the bounty sat before me. as my last
social meal here on earth. After getting well
rested we then started, and at this time. and
III the afternoon, it rained hard, but my friend
Mr. Young took all means in his power To
keep the raging storm from me, even to expos

we reached Thomaston, which was 2. nj.
at is due noe to say that MY. \ Dung treated

kindness that was in his power-such sympa-
by and kindness IS can only spring from
noble and generous heart. His conversation

emove the gulf of distress and sorrow that
ny heart was beating in. Not only that day
lid he treat me as kind and afectionate
brother, but since my stay here he has visited
ne with the same atfectionate feelings. and
made me presents which has contrib u,ed to

fzv The editor of the Skowhegan Clarion
makes lame defence for expressing the wish
that DR.. Coolidge would commit suicide. His
reason for wishing so, as far as we can discern,
is because lie does not believe capital punish
ment is right, and he had rather Coolidge
would kill himself than die by the hands of
the executioner. The opponents of capital
punishment would not probably like to have
the editor of the Clarlol understood as ex-
pressing their sentiments,

THE PEACE PROPOSITION AND
NEWS FROM MEXICO.

The New Orleans papers contain lengthy
articles from their correspondents, aud
exchanges from Mexico, Specializing upon
the state OF the country, the prospects OF
peace, aud the distribution Of the Ameri-
can army; the details of which are interes-
ting in some particulars, but too lengthy
for cur columns.
Divisions yet seem TO pervade that peo-
ple--factions ind pronunciamentoes though
powerless, seem 10 be the order Of the day.
In the face of this, however, there is no
doubt that the party most in favour, have
by their commissioners concluded some
kind of ire atty of peace with Mr.. T rist and
Scott, which has been forwarded 10 WASH
ington, Though informally negotiated by
these men, who have no authority 10 act in
that capacity, a just and honorable treaty,
will receive the appreciation Of the whole
Country. The country wants peace, but
she wants that peace upon honorable terms.
While it is clearly in our power to dictate
terms of peace to that implacable people,
a sense of our strength, and position to-
wards Mexico and the world, should pro-
cure one, securing the rights of our citizens,
the honor Of our country, and justice to
Mexico.
The proposition forwarded, has been sub
mitted to the Senate, and will be acted up
on soon.
In the army news We see il stated that
"the Important town Of Orizaba was cap
tured by Gen. Lane, at the head of a noun
ted force under Col. Hays aud Major Polk,
on the 26th January"
The trains leaving Vera Cruz had had a
few brushes with the guerrillas.
