Bath to Rockland, Belfast, and

ATLANTIC ROUTE.

Having been repeatedly called upon for the
facts ia the case, recently published over our
signature, and being totally unable to procure
and furnish copies of the paper in which those
facts were published some two months since,
we have thought best, briefly to make con-
densed statement Of the leading particulars,
with few passing Suggestions as they may
occur, and beg that. the friends of the enter
prise will not withhold, each his indiUidual e.
fort, TO enlarge upon and explain the matter,
till the whole people thoroughly understand
the exact state of the case. We write not an
essay, but barely give you the text, and few
prominent heads of what might be long and
highly interesting discourse.
We have certainly, by this time, become
aware Of the very great importance OF free
and rapid transit to and from Europe, all wealth
ers /; of the absolute necessity, under the pres
ent aspect of things, that our General Govern
ment shall reach with facility, and grasp with
strong hand the whole extended line OF our
now defenceless seacoast. We are told, that
in time of peace, we should "PREPARE. -
This leads US to the first fact, one of most I'M
minent magnitude as say the diplomats-THE
fact, that The whole seacoast of Maine, Port
land to Calais at least,) has not solitary de-
fence of any kind that cannot readily be
"turned;" nor the least available means for
rapid transportation Of ''men, munitions and
stores a distance of not less than 200 miles
But this is only war ''clause," yet none
the less, of the most vital consequence TO every
man, woman, child and Railroad in our good
State of Maine.
Let US briefly examine the rival routes, sup
per" and slower" side by side, and pick out
the difference honestly, and put what facts we
find fast upon record
First, as 10 comparative length. We shall
consider, for the present, Portland and Calais
as the two termini of the line, and commence
with the Upper Route Line.

E- The following letter from Gen. Pierce
we have not seen before. The Hartford Times
says Of it, that it is another modest hint on his
part that he greatly desires to pass along as
quietly as possible, and to remain as free from
molestation at Washington, as the nature Of
his duties will permit. The anguish of his
heart at the recent terrible calamity that has
deprived him Of bright and only boy, is most
feeingly expressed in the words which he uses
as an excuse for declining public reception
in New York.
Concord, N. H., Feb. 5.
My DEAR SRI have the honor to receive
your letter of the 4th inst, and with it copy
of the proceedings of the city authorities of
New York, inviting me To accept the hospital
tiles of the city, on my way to the seat of gov
eminent.
beg you to communicate to the mayor, and
the coordinate branches of the city govern
meut, for their marked kindness and proffered
hospitality, my grateful Acknowledgements.
Under other circumstances it would have
been extremely pleasant to avail myself of the
opportunity gracefully rendered, to exchange
salutations with the citizens of the great empo-
rum of our country, and to thank them for the
decided manifestations Of partial judgment with
which, but few weeks since, they were pleas
ed to honor me.
But, with weight at my heart, which has
well nigh disqualified me for the discharge Of
pressing duties connected with their interests,
am snre they will hardly expect my consent
to anything like public reception on my way
to Washington. Suffering to some extent from
the want of usual health and elasticity, need
repose, and have full confidence that my
friends will considerably accord to me, as fan
as practicable, seclusion.
With much respect,
Your obedient servant,
FRANK PIERCE.

CoNNEcTIcUT.-The Hartford Times says
the wings Of that State are preparing for the
Spring elections by trading on the Maine law.
1t appears the wings in that State know how
10 trade on moral questions as well as their
brethren in Maine. The Times says, /" last
spring tho wings, surprisingly enough, took an
open stand in favor of the Maine law. But
they did so in business sort Of a way, just to
increase their stock in trade. While some of
their candidates made written pledges, they
were drinking toddies straight along, day by
day. But they wanted votes. They were,
however, looking at one side only-the side Of
gains. But there really was another side-the
side that despises hollow hearted professions,
and mere political clap-trap. On this side
they lost and lost far too heavily for their
gains"
Wing logic on the Maine law in Connect
cut may be inferred from the following extract
from a speech made by wing senator at late
jeect of questioning candidates was up when
Mr.. Train, the wing senator, remarked, in op-
position, that it was a g mere question Of eape-
diency. If temperance men would get right
men nominated, and mol publicly question them,
the wing party would vote for them as mat
ter of course, while on the other hand an at
tempt publicly to commit the candidates, acould
drive of many men WITHOUT Ceiling an equira-
lent from Maine la,O men," What martyrs
these wing moralists are!

And we are very glad to have this testimoni-
al of your kind regards. Our contemporary Of
the Tribune in this city, which you know is a
wing paper, but very miscellaneous since the
election, volunteers an explanation on the post
office advertising, and very coolly remarks, in
effect, that the question with the post office
department is not what paper has the largest
circulation, but what paper has the largest cir
culation IN a certain locality. That is the prin-
ciple, the Tribune intimates, upon which the
Times got the advertising. Now put this dec

PuZzlinS q Doctor.

L. NJ an army surgeon, was very fond
OF joke, (if not perpetrated at his own ex-
pense,) and had, moreover, a great con-
tempt for citizen officers, who were renowned
more for their courage than their scholar
ship
One day at mess, when the decanter had
performed sundry strange and novel peram-
bulatlons of the table, Captain S., a brave
and accomplished officer, and great wag,
remarked to the Doctor, who had been yerv
severe in his remarks on the literary def
cheney of some of the new officers

"No, that's not the way; try again-it's
your last guess"
'C,G,g,h,t."
"Ne, that's not the way; you've lost the
wager"
"Well,' said the Doctor, with much petu-
Iancc VI manner, NOW does he spell 1t =!
why, he spells it CAT" replied s., with
the utmost gravity, amid the roars of the
mess.
Almost choking with rage, the Doctor
sprang to his feet, exclaiming:
captain S., am too old man to be
trifled with in this manner!"

been reported in the city. The corporation
l,s provided place where indignant vic
Tins Of this awful disease can be attended
n without endangering the health of the
city.
It's supposed by some of our citizens
that it is the duty of the police officers to
see to the removal of patients but we are
unable to find any law that required this
service of them. If such law exists it
should be repealed; for the reason that
there would be no better way to spread the
disease than by sending persons to attend
it, who are obliged to mingle with the citi-
sens as much as police officers are.
EaH The watch house on Saturday and
Sunday nights contained the following: II.
B. Tyler, drunk and disorderly; Ann Caho
and Susan Matingly, drunk and disorderly,
sent to the work house; Thomas Mcbride,
