SteambOating on MOOsehcad
Lake,

A correspondent of the Bangor Wing, thus
describes the steamers on Moosehead Lake =
A fine steamer plies upon the lake, making
regular excursions from Greenville to the north
east Garry and back, stopping at the public
house at Kineo, % miles up, twice week, on
Tuesdays and Fridays, and as much oftener as
there are passengers enough to make it an OBJ
ject, thus affording opportunity for viewing the
entire scenery of the Lake. She is called the
Moose Head, displays conspicuously the real
antlers of her namesake, and is commanded by
Capt. Thomas Robinson, an intelligent, trusty,
and good-humored young Canadian, who has a
pleasant answer for all questions, and is per-
fectly at home in the navigation of the lake.
The steamer, which was of course built here,
is $50 feet keel, 80 feet wide, draws feet
of water, has an engine of 60 horse power
and averages about ten miles per hour Her
busiest seasons are in the Fall and Spring,
when the lumbermen are proceeding to and
| from the scene of their operations, and re-
quire transportation for themselves and thei1
supplies.
| There is also a steam tow-boat on the Lake
for the purpose of towing the timber cut to the
kennebec outlet. On the days when the steam
or does not run, travellers may obtain passage
to kineo in a staunch sail-boat, of which there
are two-one commanded by John Tyler, a
capital fellow, who knows every rope in this
little ship, and every rock on his route. This
is pleasant way of travelling enough uith Q

The Adjournment of Congress-,

Congress has finally adjourned, after a lengthy
session of about fen months 1t has not only
been one of the longest congressional sessions
ever known to our country in time of peace.
but undoubtedly one of the most exciting. Il
embodied in itself the inherent elements of
dlscord-sectionalism and reckless demacog-
ism. In its councils were also found the first
statesmen the country-Cass, Calhoun, Clay,
Webster and Benton gathered together, as it
were, TO meet portending crisis, foreshadow-
ed by the events of the preceding year.
The campaign which resulted in the elcva-
ton to honor of General Zachary Taylor may
be said TO have given birth to an heroic age, in
which sudden feeling of reverence, or graft
tude for the military exploits of heroes who
had won honors in their country's cause seem.
ed to predominant over every other considera-
ton. Political principles everything was
made subservient to the popular feeling, and the
result is that administration was brought
into power irrespective of any particular ad-
ministration, and irresponsible in itself.
Under this state of affairs, congress assem-
bled, and the weakness of the administration
was made apparent in its futile attempts to get
the organization of the branch. An opponent
of the administration was elected speaker, and
congress was no sooner organized than the fell
spirit of fanaticism began to show itself. The
questions growing out of the slavery subject,
being of the most momentous character, occu-
pied the principal time of the session-their fl.
nal adjournment more than compensates for all
the consequent delay-and although much il
left undone, it cannot be denied that the recent
session of congress has accomplished a great
work. But two months will elapse ere con-
gress will be again in session-when harmo-
