Correspondence of the Eastern Times.
Chances at the Legislature.

George w. Chase, member from Danville,
is "a years of age, although his appearance
would indicate a more advanced age He is a
lawyer, and has practised his profession in
some of the Southern States, at one time being
located at Baton Rouge, the residence of the
late lamented President. He has good natu-
raj abilities, and at times speaks with effect
He has an active brain, which he sometimes
him active. He could hardly pass through
the world IN silence.
Major Nathan Weston, Jr., of Orono, is a
son of Judge Weston, of Augusta, lawyer
by profession now, although he has held a
commission in the regular army and served in
some of the Mexican battles, under Gen. Tay-
lor. He is but about 80 years of age, and a
very estimable, promising man. He has had
some experience in legislation-is an excellent
legislator, and is prominently talked of for the
Senate-which body he would make a valua-
BILE member of, and think be credit to Pc
nobscot County.
Another lawyer from Penobscot County, is
MIR. John Burnham-who is not wholly lost to
notorlety among the great men of the House
MI b. Is man of slight frame, but of un-
doubted talent, and Of that nervous, excitablo
temperament as TO be easily aroused. He is a
thin, spare man, and has voice as smooth and
soft as that OF almost any 'fair ladye." He
maniiests much zeal and interest in the inyes-
legations into the Insane Hospital aiIairs-a
little more, think, than the public or the ne
cessity of the case, calls for. The occurrence
of one incident, connected with this inves,ipa-
ton, is to be regretted, to wit an attack IN
on Hon. Ruel Williams by Mr.. Burnham.
which, to say the least, was undeserved, if not
unprovoked. The publication Of Mr. 3's re-
marks in the Bangor Democrat, drawn up, as
they must have been, by himself, places the
affair in a not rnuch more enviable light. Mr..
BIS zeal, directed in a proper channel, and
not prompted by sinister motives, could not fail
OF being productive of much good.
DR.. Putnam Simonton acquired reputation
for Legislative acumcn the last session. which
he has much augmented since. He is ready
debater, and an interchangeable worker-a scien-
tifc, as well as thoroughly practical man.
Among the prominent wings Of the present
House, Noah Smith, Jr., of Calais, must not
be omitted. He Is very respectable mer-
chant, 40 years of age, of quick, nervous tenn
permanent, and most fluent speaker. He can
dispose of joke as readily as any other man,
and his mirthful sallies may be well denomi-

During the thunder storm of Friday after-

Do not have any metal, nor metallic implement

Our Congressional Nominee.

That staumch and able democratic sheet, the
Belfast Republican Journal, in speaking of
Congressional nominations, thus fatteringly
alludes to the Lincoln and Oxford candidate,
Hon. CHARLES ANDREWS -
"We learn that Charles Andrews, ESQ.,, of
Paris, has been nominated by the democrats of
Oxford and Lincoln, as their candidate to be
supported in the coming election. We trust
that in view of the importance of sustaining
our democratic strength in our national legisla-
ture, onr friends in this district will not fail to
secure the election of Mr. Andrews. He is
admirably qualified by his natural abilities, to
which have been joined industry and study, as
well as much legislative experience in the ca
paclty of legislator and Speaker of the House,
to do honor to his constituency in the office to
which he has been nominated candidate"

The next proposition is, that failing in the
first, they will insist on 36deg sOmin, with re-
cognition of slavery south of that line. This is
too impracticable to succeed, or even unite the
Southern votes in its support.
The third, in relation to the boundary Of
California, if insisted on, will not be likely to
defeat the till and it is not impossible that the
next packet will bring an application on the
,ari of Southern California, for such division
in which event, it would probably be grant,
d.
The other resolutions it is believed, will not
ait ct the position of things, or prevent the ad-
Iustment of these disputed questions. which
have so long paralizcd the national councils,
md agitatcd the public mind.

Flowers and Rural Taste.

Nature has been prodigal of her floral gifts
to our beautiful state, and every one who has
taste for rural establishment, must feel an anx-
iety to improve what has been SO beautifully
bestowed. LEIGH HUNT has somewhere re-
marked, that he never observed flower adorn-
ing a window, without attributing superior
degree of taste and mental refinement to the
occupant, however humble might be their resi-
dence in other respects. Often do we see large
farms, exhibiting all the evidences of superior
cultivation, and apparently every effort made to
obtain as many dollars as possible from every
acre of land. This is perfectly commendable.
But when we turn to the cause. often large,
newly painted, with green blinds, and tidy en-
closures exposed to the hot sun, without sin
gle tree or shrub to mitigate the fervd heat of
the noon-tlde rays, and give charm to the
scene, or impart lovelness to the spot-with
Haunting briars and thistles incumberinr and
defoming the yards, we are led to regret the
absence of that refined and delicate taste SO
essential to give beauty and elegance to every
mansion in the land.

attendance upon which is so necessary to the
thorough organization of our forces. Let the
Caucuses be called in season, and sufficient no
tice given that there may be general ''turn
out''-for we look to our primary meetings. as
affording to the people the means of speaking
and acting for hemselres. If the people would
but turn out to the Caucuses, and make the
nominations, they would never have any occa-
sion, much less disposition, 10 bolt regular
nominations to this principle, above all
others, must we look for the success and per
