the ground that the people are christidnized.-
They can support their own religious institu-
tons, and are at this moment actually engaged
in planting the standardRf the cross in distant
islands Of the Pacific. They are then quail
fed Cor annexation in religious point of view.
The fact that the business and commercial
concerns of the islands Gre managed principal
ly by Americans who constitute the majority
of the foreign population, and the fact too,
that the Sandwich islanders are Aner1cdn'sed
as well as christianizeA, bearing to the United
States the interesting and binding relation of
offspring TO parent, speak out in emphatic
tones, the propriety, na:uralness and necessity
of annexation.
We know the ere of Hfllibusterism, is
raised at this project; and we notice the
"Boston Traveller, "a quasi religious paper,
joins in this cry, while at the same time the
incapacity of the present government Of the
islands is acknowledged, and the King is
charged with drunkenness and imbecility.-
But this is expected. The old idea of fixing
stakes and bounds;;sto republicanism and its
blessings, has friends in these days as well as
in old federal times.
Let the Hawaiian group come in, and let
the stars and stripes wave over those beautiful
islands of the sea- They are located on the
great highway ofsOur Pacific commerce, and
already form thegreat central point for our
vast whaling feet of the North Pacific ocean.
They are soon, too, TO bear the same relation
to our East India commerce, and become a
kind of half way depot for our mail steamers
between the western terminus of the great Pa
cifc Railroad and Australia, China and Japan.
Let them come, as they ~iH come, voluntarily,
peaceably and naturally- because it is best for
them, and let France and England protest as
usual against what they cannot prevent.

Railroad Troubles.

Our Portland friends are waging bitter
railroad warfare, The 0lumns of the Adver-
tiser and State Of Mains have been loaded
down with CONTROVERSIES articles as to who
killed, not cock robin, Int the York and Cum
berland railroad. Tho health of one of the
managers in that concern has been seriously
impaired by the editorial articles in the Ad-
vertiser--a wonderful Instance Of the power Of
the press. 1t is still more wonderful, howev-
er, that Carter's pen should be SO fatal to rail-
reads and SO harmless IN politics. We never
heard of the first instance of his impairing
even the digestion of \ political opponent
The hale and hearty appearance of Holden Of
the Argus, is proof enough of this.
But our neighbors arr in trouble at another
point. Since the Atlantic and St. Lawrence
Railroad, that darling nhild of Portland, went
into the hands of the Britishers, John Bull
has put on his dignity;and cut off all the dead
heads who were understood to comprise about
quarter of Portland This has caused ire
mendous futteration among the small stock
holders who used to have standing invitation
to ride about once a month. And this is not
all. A British official has come down from
Montreal to rectify the manners of the Yankee
attaches of the road " The conductors are to
have little more polish on their dickies, and
the depot master at the Danville Junction is
threatened with walking ticket, because,
says the Lewiston Falls Journal, he had not
taken off his beard for three days.
Here in Bath, where everything connected
with railroads is as smooth as a summers
sun, and the X. & r is coming money, we
cannot but be surprised at the troubles of our
Portland friends. The best we can do at this
time is to extend to them the hand of commits
seration-over the left.4

THANKSGIVING.

To-day, Thursday, we presume our readers
are aware, is the day appointed By the Gov
ernor for The celebration Of The old-fashioned
harvest festival We presume every arrange
ment has been made for the occasion, and Ia
blesloaded with delectable things will feast
the eyes and palaces of everybody in this COM
monweallh. 1t Is good TO look at the bright
side of things once in a while-to smooth
down the wrinkled face and light up the coun-
tenance with joy and rejoicing. This is abso-
lutely necessary for the physical well-being
of The Yankee rage, race singularly bent on
sacrificing the delights of reason and the flow
of soul to business. application and worship of
the almighty dollar. We need something to
soften down the sternness and asperities of in
tense business devotedness, to dissipate the
mists that obscureNhe sunshine Of life, TO aid
digestion and develop the physical man.
When our Pilgrim ancestors established the
Thanksgiving festival, they doubtless mad no
adequate idea of its importance to their poster
ity. We treasureahe custom as relic of the
past but il is really TO the present and the
future that lis valuesis and is to be known
Their hard and stern religion demanded a day
of relaxation-our every day life, not our reli-
gion, now demandsit. This they did not fore
see-we have foundzit out by experience
'agsF history from thesday of the first establish
ment Of the time-honored custom, has demon
srated that it was founded 10 the wisdom of
the past for the goodrof the future, and that
directing Providence designed it to meet the
wants of coming generations.
We then, to-day, may escape from the tolls
and cares Of life and give ourselves up 10 the
abandonment Of making ourselves and others
happy Let the tribnte of thanksgiving and
praise ascend to the Author Of all our bless
ings, that He has given US a country and a
home in land fOwipg with milk and honey
that here we have the bible, the richest and
most widely extended means Of education, glo-
rious institutions fOF;ihe religious, moral, So
cial and intellectual advancement of the race,
and government ofcivil and religious FREE
DOM, that has had no counterpart since rebel
lions man was driveN from the Garden. Con-
secrate the day TO dong good and getting good
as intelligent, social benevolent and JOYOUS be-
ings. "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God
with all thy heart sAl soul and strength, and
thy neighbor as thYs&lf.'

A Fast Mail.

The iron horse is altogether too slow in
movement to satisfy thewants of the present
age, and the world wants the mail bags car
cried as fast as the messages Of the telegraph.
Science is ready to aid in concentrating the
result. BY late invention, it is proposed to
convey not only intelligence, but thA letters
and newspapers that contain it, at the rate of
one thousand miles per foar'N< fasteJ if de-
sired. The subscription to the stock of this
new wonder, which is alled the atmospheric
telegraph has been actually eofAGenced,
and the capitalists of Boston arc-calledeupon
10 do their part in getting up the COMPANY for
the CONSTRUCTION of a line bAween that city
and New YORK 49,
The atmospheric te1egraeh company pro-
poses to lay an alright lube, 2 feetsfA diane
ter, from Boston via Springfield to New York.
BY steam pumps of large size the air will be
exhausted from this tube at the rate of its
whole capacity in Is minutes, and hence, by
the external pressure as a propelling force, a
load will be made to travel through it in the
same time. A model was exhibited, on a
small scale, at the late mechanics fair, that
worked to charm. But there is still some
doubt whether a load feet in diameter, and
proportionally heavy, can safely be sent
through tube 24O miles long with the same
rapidity. Going at the rate Of one thousand
miles an hour, packet of letters might get
set on fire by friction or get smashed into the
middle Of next week by bringing up against
some unforeseen obstacle in the tube, and then
the question would be, scjere, on the tube line
shall the lost mail be found
The great question is, how to abstract the
air and make perfect vacuum in the tube
1t is calculated that l8 pumps Of ten feet d.
ameter and twelve feet stroke, would discharge
the air in fifteen minutes. Then the mails are
to be put in, and it is presumed they will fur
nish specimen of 'going ahead never
dreamed of by that locomotive individual, Da-
vid Crockett. We shall not be surprised to
find this enterprise in the full tide Of success
full operation in year or two. In this ad-
vancing age, it is best to be open TO convic-
ton on all subjects, and not stand hugging old
landmarks as the world rushes on.

SUICIDE IN JAIL. We learn from the Port
land Argus that ArnOlf Wentworth, Of Greene,
in this State, was brought before the u S.
Commissioner on Wednesday last. charged on
two complaints with forging certain papers for
the purpose of obiaininssa back pension of some
$4,000 from the United States. He waived an
examination, and was bound over in the sum
of $4,000 to appear at cburt Thursday. In de-
fault of bail he was comnitted to JAIL. Thurs
day morning we ate his breakfast as usual, and
about nine O'Clock askedfor razor to shave
himself, previous to APPEARING before the Com
missioner. An officer entering the cell short
time after. found him lying upon his face dead,
having cut his throat from ear to ear, severing
the right jugular arsery4 Mr.. Wentworth was
about IS years Of age, and leaves family.

Mdryland.

The democrats ar Maryland have elected
their Governor by aPopular majority Of about
Four THOUSAND, add gained ttco members Of
Congress. This may be taken as fair evidence
that the administrator Is not very unpopular
in Maryland. The Washington Union records
the victory and its influence as follows:
1.-The Hon. L. WATKINS Lgon has been chos-
en- by the discriminating and enlightened cleo
tors of the state to fltthe Office of governor for
the next constitutional term. This is a most
suspicious and gratifying result. Mr.. Lyon
is gentleman of commanding talents, tried
patriot, an answering democrat, and an able,
eloquent and sincere Friend of the administra-
ton of President Fierce. Throughout the
canvass which has just closed so gloriously for
Maryland and the onion, the governor elect
calamity bore aloft the democratic banner, and
sustained with ability eloquence and zeal, the
avowed. the enunciatgd pulley of the national
administration. Mr.. Bowie, the competitor of
Mr. Lyon, is worthy gentleman of very re-
spectacle talents, and deservedy one of the
most popular men Of the whi5 party. In ev-
cry county of the state which he visited the
policy of the President and his cabinet was as
sailed by him. This was Mr.. Bowie's strong
card but the advocacy of the course of the
administration by Mf. Lyon carried conviction

wv IMPORTANT DIvoRcrs CASE. A divorce case
ofunusual interest was tried during the recent
term of the Supreme Judicial Court at Wiscas-
set, in which Charles fCrockett was libelant,
as Susan R. Crocket, libellee. The parties
have lived together as man and wife for many
years, and have married. children. The libel
was founded upon alleged improper intercourse
between the latter, and one Sheldon Dunton,
Of Rockland. The Mirror says, it appeared in
evidence that the saidsDunton was secreted in
the house of said Crockett by the said ibellee,
and that sundry letters of an amorous charac-
ter were written bysthe said Dunton, and
which fell into the hands Of the libellant, and
appeared in Court. The Court decreed d.
vorce. Dunton was summoned as an evil
dence, and after giving the same, he was ar
rested and committedsto Jail, to await trial on
the charge Of adultery. he
