Potato Rot.-FRUITFUL subject! All
your contributors for January and February
seem, upon this subject, to come to the con-
clusion, Cat least all who came upon the
subject at all to any conclusion) that it is
an epidemic for which no positive remedy
has as yet been discovered; and that the
cause is not known to certainty; yet all
seem to think that TOO much moisture has
much to do with it. After all the theories
which are as various as the tongues of Babel,
making '"confuson worse confounded," ]
am still confirmed in my own views, pub
lished year ago, and am further confirm
ed in them by the sensible articles on this
subject in your last few numbers. Physi-
clans cannot agree as to the cause that ex-
lists, and achere it exists, that produces cho-
iera. But their sagaci,y, close observation,
and science, have found out ameiora,ing
preventives, and medicines that either palli-
ale, or remove the disease when it makes its
attack. Why should the agrcul.uris. no.
do the same Thing with this horrid disease
that brings upon the human family SO much
want and misery? 1t is worse than chole-
ra, for i, is contagious; it is infectious, and
is hereditary. 1t will have its day for sea-
son, as scourge, and then perhaps like the
cholera pass away for years. But, should

terrific effects? AssuredIy. Now The first

For the Port Tobacco Times.
TO MY DEAREST CHARLOTTE.
Oh! Charlotte dear, feel 'squedeegious,'
This heart of mine goes pit, pat, pit;
Of single life I'm growing tedious,
And love has thrown me in a fit.
Could but have the full assurance,
That you your love would give to me,
My feelings would be past endurance,
Till | was welded unto thee.
But now. alas Pm sadly doomed
To live in doubt and dark despair;
My finer feelings all are gloomed,
And | for life have little care.
When first thy charms, to me revealed
Thy great perfection, sweet Charlotte,
NY fate forever then was sealed
That joyous hour ne'er forgot.
How happy would I with thee be!
In some neat cottage near lake,
Where linked in love, our spirits free,
Would ne er each others hearts tOrSake.
Yes! all the ills of life combined,
Could never make me wretched then;
A consolation so refined,
I'd have in thee, my dove-my "hen."*
IT'S vain, alas! fear indeed,
For me to entertain the hope,
That perchance, can e'er succeed,
Unless thou wilt with me elope.
cannot say thou lov'st me still,
Yet hope will whisper-Perhaps it's so;
Then meet me by the babbling rill,
And we will to the altar 90.
But should by thee be refused,
Farewell, oh |! earth, and all thy charms,
This heart shall never be abused,
Come death, with all thy dread alarms.
Truly, your heart-sick lover.

DEAR TRIBUNE:-Accompan l send
you list of vessels built at this place during
the past year. Cyrus Cotter, Esq, Deputy
Collector, has very kindly furnished me with
the list Damariscotta has. think, surpassed
any other place of her population. The total
counts Mirty-niae vessels, making in all ten
thousand, four hundred and .ftty-one tons. if l
have figured it correctly.
The place has improved much since I was
here last. Many new and beautiful stores have
been erected, together with large number OF
dwelling houses, which has given the place
quite Gifted appearance. Damariscotta will
become of age next March, and intends to set
up business for herself. We may soon expect
that she will petition for charter. May she,
unlike her namesake, not be subject to ebb-
tides, but enjoy continual flood, until all
within and about her become rich, as reward
for their industry and perseverance. John M.
Adams, Esq, of Portland, delivered lee

A Sensible Girl.

Some years since young lady remarkable
for maturity and good sense, daughter of a
distinguished lawyer and member of Congress
from Worcester county, was placed at young
ladies' boarding school in the neighborhood
of Boston. Her unaffected manners, and
sprightliness of character, soon attracted the
attention, and won the affection of many Of
the young ladies, who were full of their kind
offices, until one day they inquired of each
other the occupation of their fathers. Our
fair friend, psrceiving the drift of their en-
quiries, gave them to understand that her
father was shoemaker when many of them
were struck with horror at her low and vul-
gar origin, and change was at one percepti-
BILE in their conduct towards her. She how
ever, though fully understanding them, re-
NAMED quiet. After a while, the father Of
the young lady visited the school. AS he
was good looking man, and as they observed
that the principal and others treated him with
great Difference and respect, the scholars We're
led to inquire of their instructress who he
was, and what was his business; and on being
that he was member of Congress, they were
filled with amazement and Immediately made
the attempt to renew their attentions as for
merly, but it was too late; she looked on their
conduct with such perfect contempt that
they were obliged to keep at respectful dis
lance, while those who had treated her with
kindness, without regard to her fathers sup
posed occupation, were ever after her favorites.
May the time soon come when modest worth
shall be standard of respect whether the
Individuals rich or poor, learned or unlearned,
member of Congress or humble shoemaker.

DR.. Coolidge's Trial.

The great interest that the public feel in the
trial of DIR. Coolidge, which is to commence
the 25th of this month, and the desire we
have furnishing our subscribers with what
ever is interesting to them, at the earliest mo-
ment, has induced us, at considerable expense,
to secure the services of an able reporter to
report exclusively for us. We shall, there
fore, be able to give, in all probability, the re-
port of the trial to the public, through the
columns of our daily, sooner than it appears
in any other paper. Those of our friends who
are anxious to see the report of the trial as
soon as possible, had better order the daily
We shall strike off extra copies to supply
those who may wish them. The full report
will also appear in our weekly; those, there
fore, who have not, but who intend to SUBJ
scribe for that, had better do SO at once, if they
would have the numbers containing the trial.
which, doubtless, every one will wish to pre-
serve.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.

NAShlNGION, vai u
SENATE.-The Ten Regiment Bill was called
up in order. Mr.. Crittendcn moved to amend
by striking out all after the eracting clause,
and inserting provision, authorizing the Pres
ident to accept the services of thirty thousand
volunteers. He considered the number now
in Mexico sufficient to carry out the plans of
the Secretary of War. Half that namber had
conquered everything opposed to them.
He wished to give the President authority
to call out all he asked for, only when abso-
lutely required by the state of affairs in Next
co.
He would not consent that Congress should
be held to take the responsibility of adding
positive force of ten regiments to the regular
army.
The additional men which had been asked
for, would increase the military force OF the
United States to between ninety and one
hundred thousand men.
Mr.. Jefferson Davis addressed the Senate in
opposition to the amendment.
Mr.. Calhoun made some objections to the
amendment and it was finally negatived-

Later from Mexico.

Accounts from Mexico states that the Brit
ish Consul, who left Vera Cruz recently for
Queretaro. carried dispatches from the British
government to the Mexican government, urg-
ing the necessity of making peace with the
United States. The council OF Mexican gov
eminent assembled at Queretaro had broken
up. They left the question of peace or war,
to promising to sustain the govern
ment with means to meet its expenditures.

Graduates from the War.

There are said to be great number of young
men, in Washington, who have returned from
the war, to seek Office or some public position.
They are distinguished for their stories, their
mustachios, hair and habits-the last of which
are none of the best. The longer continuance
of the war will furnish swarms of these human
locusts, mostly untitled for any respectable &C.

serve.

This politician, who is determined not to be
outbid by any of the Woodburys and Buchan-
ans who are striving for Southern votes, has
lately published a letter in the Union in favor
of the acquisition of territory and against the
Wilmot Proviso. Mr.. Cass, it is said, in 1916
spoke highly in favor of the Provso, (not in
Congress however, but after the session had
closed and regretted that the vote had not
been taken on it in the Senate; and yet, for
the sake of office, he is willing to oppose what
sacrifice the interests of his constituents and
trample on the rights of the North. He sup
poses doubtless, that he can do this with i'm
punity he believes that the Northern people
are slaves enough to party to bear anything,
yield anything, but he may find himself mis-.
taken. The manly stand taken by the New
York Barn burners should lead him to fear
that while he is exerting himself to secure the
vote of the South there is danger of losing the
North. If we have not mistaken the spirit of
a portion of the New York Democracy, they
will see their party totally annihilated before
they will aid in placing in the Presidential
chair such tool of the South as Cass is likely
to prove. Nor is that spirit confined to New
Yord alone, it is spreading all over the North,
among the intelligent and honest portion of
the party. The time will come and that soon,
we verify believe, when politicians will find
that the people Of the North must have some.
thing besides promises and professions of love
for Democratic principles to satisfy them

to the institutions and principles of the North.
