Mr.. Editor:
A writer in your last paper, who signs
himself "a Temperance Man." objects to being
called I" JanGiie," yet he uses the following
language in relation to the proprietOrs of the
Courier:
But wish 10 call their special attention 10
their consistency. II they would come out and
confess their fondneSs for the creeter," and
fight under his banner of the sItlA and cross
bones, would respect them better.
Now sir, suppose the writer Of the above is
acquainted with the prOprietors Of the Courier,
what would you call this attempt 10 produce the
opinion that they are lovers of the ercetcr &"
In other words, that the course they are taking
is prompted as above indicated? Is it true ?
Are they whisky drinkersP Or rather, are
they not temperate, Industrious, worthy citizens
as any in the community? Are there two more
SOP Have they not been called on over and
again to discuss the propriety OF applying the
principles of the Maine Liquor Law to this
city3 And is It right thus TO assail aud attempt
TO injure two young men who are Just entering
upon the duties Of life and struggling against adj
versity to make an honest living? What would
you, pray, sir, call this attempt9
But suppose the writer is not acquainted with
them-whAt plea can he set up for this attuck Z
BY what name will you, will this community
(sGrr taRaiieS) call this assault? Has it one
feature of charity, yea OF common forbearancC
about ite Is it in Christian spiritP Is it the
way to discuss principle to enlighten the pub.
lie mind or rather does it not show too clearly
spirit Of intolerance; disposition to crush al
who differ with the writer9 Now, sir, Object
TO this sort Of discussion. Let us have open
fair, honest discussion, and not abuse of thes,
who differ with US, and thus may the publ,
mind have "Ggki," and pure results ilow there
from. A TEMPERATE MAN,

Monroe across Lake Erie, in the fine Lake

other day. from Buffalo to Albany, by railroad
another day; and from Albany to New York,
by Hudson river steamboat, another dav-an
awful trip, taking five days, where it should
have been only three. shall wait day or so
for my insides to get settled, after the iolting

walk to and fro across the room, thirteen hours
out Of the twenty.fOur; not day passes but
they walk twenty-five or thirty miles, without

pull it out straight. Their faces and eyes are

gi"The Quincy Wing is down en- the Illinois
Journal Cor expressing some doubts US to the
sincerity Of the Central Military Tract Railroad
Company in their promises TO complete the
Northern Cross Road from Meredosa to Clay
ton. The Journal editor is not the only doubt
or, we opine.
The Wing reads the Journal lecture for, as
It asserts, siding with outsiders against a city
in our own StOte,-The Wing, like many others,
is too much inclined to the idea that railroads
as indeed all other improvements, are only TO be
constructed rorlthe benefl,,of cites. The wants
Of the country troversed by the roads in question
are entitled 10 some consideration, we think.
In what will the country, the regions Of pro-
Guotion, be most benefited, is n question Of more
Importance than as TO whose town lots are "a
increase most rapidly in value.
| We are pleased Ia learn from the Wing that
the prospect of the extension to Quincy is NOR,

have an additional western outlet TO the MsSi,'

CONCORD, Jan. %, 1858.
General Pierce returned to Andoyer this forenoon,
where he will spend the Sabbath. Both of the New

While here, the softs and hards took social game of
whist together at the Eagle The hars beaten and
paid for oysters-sewed, fried roasted scoloped raw
and in the she Il, besides the iixings.
Although for while had it that cabinet mem
ber fer New York had been agreed between them it Is
pretty certain that they only arrived at conclusion
to the superior quality of Gbsons oysters and the
ct ceteras Though willing to sup together they posi-.
lively refused to talk with each other concerning cabinet
making
Gen. Pierce it is said declined to see either of the dele
cations parately-consequeny in order to procure
an audience they compelled to unite. The mis-
sion ia understood TO have effected nothing, and New
York must therefore stand back while longer.
Hon Daniel Dana, Of Syracuse, arrived this forenoon

other New York brethren.

state of great alarm and confusion, by loud, heavy
rambling noise, bearing evidence of considerable
wreck OF matter and crush OF glass, threatening the
tunibling down OF the capitol. rush was made
for the door leading to the rotunda, where the alarm
Of " the terrified was soon quieted by the discovery
that the weight Of the snow on the skyight3 of the
dome had crushed that structure, and together with
the glass, had abruptly descended in volume or
avalanche upon the head of General Washington
about one hundred feet below. The magnificent
statue of the father Of his country, however was not
injured 10y the weight of the matter that fell upon it,
but stood unmoved, amid the wreck that sur
rounded it.
