Lewiston and Topsham Railroad.

From the report of John Read, Engineer,
employed to survey and locate the Lewiston
& Topsham R. R., we learn that the whole
distance as measured from one terminus to the
other is Is ga miles. Estimate Of expense,
based upon ready cash prices, and including
running furniture and taking the price of iron
to be $40 per ton, $473, 63g 80, equal to $25,
26O 90 per mile. The Report concludes as
follows
Your enterprise commends itself to the ship
building interest at Bath, Brunswick, Tops
ham, Bowdoinham, Richmond and adjacent
towns, as it will open TO it the most direct
communication with the great lumber regions,
but just made available by the opening of 9TH
er roads. And if the citizens generally in the
towns above enumerated, would place them
selves in position to reap all the advantages
which the most direct communication with all
the Railroads in the State can yield, they have
but to make sure of this link, which seems
only wanting to complete the great chain that
is revolutionizing the business of the State by
bringing into close proximity regions hereto
fore remote. H4t Fii
In conclusion, gentlemen, | will say, that
the feasibility Of your route, the many advan-
tages to be derived from the construction Of
your road, and the business prospects present
ed, give evidence that it would be good pay
ing road to the stockholders and the enter
prise commends itself to the attention of bust
ness men and capitalists, in all the-towns
have enumerated, especially to those in Lew

BATH, FEBRUARY %, 1864.
Nebraska Territory.


Senator Douglas bill for the territorial or
ganlzation Of Nebraska, now before Congress,
seems to create considerable excitement at the
North. This is caused by the declaration
that the Compromise measures of 1850 render
imperative the Missouri Compromise.
Although we believe it to be bad policy to
disturb old compromises, the means of peace
and calm after storm of excitement and dam
ger, yet, as we have before stated, Mr.. Doug
las proposition that THE PEOPLE of State
should make their constitution, is cardinal
principle of American democracy, and history
has never presented democracy of better
stamp. Slavery, although great evil, is be-
yond the control of the national government
1t is purely State institution, and can only
be abolished by State legislation. New states
have a right to join the compact on the old
ground of the original thirteen, unless an ar
bitrary rule has been established limiting the
inherent rights of the people. Mr.. Douglas
contends that Nebraska has as good right to
make her own constitution, forbidding or toll
Grating slavery, as Virginia or New York
had and with constitution agreed upon by
the people, Nebraska may at the proper time
knock at the door of the Union with as just
demand for admission, as Virginia or New
York had when they joined tho original COM
pact Of states. The question, then, is mar
rowed down to this Shall an arbitrary rule
established by the general government on a
subject allowed to be beyond their control
made in time of intense excitement, and
agreed upon by contending parties for the
purpose of calming the waves of temptestuous
strife, be perpetuated for all time to come
1t is very evident where most of the oppo-
sition to Senator Douglas bill originates
No doubt large number Of democrats consid-
er the Missouri Compromise too sacred to be
interfered with at the present time, and regret
any allusion was made to it in the Nebraska
bill. But the opposition in Maine is made up
to a great extent Of abolitionists and wings.
They figure in resolutions against tin calls
for public meetings-and on petitions to Con-
gress. The opposition to the bill in this
State is carried on principally by the enemies.
of the democratic party.
1t is very unsafe to trust TO political move
ments originating in such a source. At heart
the movers have not so much in view the vel
fare Of the people and the predominance of
right, as the destruction of the democratic
party. These very abolitionists who of
sudden have so much to say in favor of the
Missouri Compromise, were year or two ago
its calumniators and foes. They call the con-
stitution covenant with hell, and the wings
are too ready 10 say yes when abolition votes
are wanted. We advise the democrats of
Maine to look out for public meetings gotten
up on whig or free soil capital.

Election Of State Treasurer.

WASHINGTON Wilcox, of Monmouth, a
deep-dyed abolitiOnist Of the "Willey" school,
was, on Thursday last, in convention of the
two houses elected Treasurer Of State by a
vote Of 81 TO IS for Cony, democrat.
MIR. Wilcox was elected by a union of the
wings and free sellers, and was nominated by
both. It was kind of certificate of good be-
havior given by the wings to the free sellers,
for their services for Fessenden. Mr.. W. is
respectable farmer of the town of Monmouth,
and has figured good deal in cattle shows
and abolition conventions. He may be able
in connection with the efficient clerk in the
Treasury department TO 60 somewhat into fig
ures. His election was accomplished for the
sole purpose Of rewarding the free soilers-
they cried for it as the boys do for lozenges,
and the wings, magnanimous souls, knocked
under.

The Russians in Wallachia.

The peasantry Of Wallachia, it is well
known, are in state of instruction against
their military invaders, who, on their part,
have adopted no means to conciliate the peo-
pie whom they have gratuitously offered to
deliver from the merely nominal control of the
Turks. A writer from Wallachia says
"The cold is intense and the snow is foot
deep on the ground, and the Russians have
been living in tents ever since they left head
quarters, so we may fairly presume that hors-
es and men will be greatly cut up before they
come into action. In addition to this, they
are dependent for their supplies on the villag-
es, and pay for all they receive by notes pay
able by the Wallachian treasury for expenses
alleged to have been incurred by the army of
occupation engaged in suppressing the revo-
lutionary movement in 1913. This is one of
the most barefaced attempts to disguise rob-
berry that | have ever heard Prince Pas
kiewitch, who has now taken the command
Of the army, has issued proclamation adj.
dressed to the inhabitants of Wallachia, in
which he informs them that he was. about to
deliver them from the presence Of the barbara
ans, the Turks, whom he states he is about to
drive into the Danube. The Wallachians,
however, seem TO consider their expected de-
liverance to be a clear case for the application
of the proverb, Out Of the frying-pan into
the fire, for great numbers Of the militia have
come over with their arms into the Turkish
camp, and several villages near the scene of
operations have sent in addresses to Achmet
Pacha, signed by the inhabitants, and bearing
their common seal, signifying their adhesion
to the Sultan, and offering to join his forces
if required. One Of them refused admission
to the Russian advanced guard, and fired upon
them, to which the enemy replied with artil-
lery. There can be no doubt that should the
latter meet with any serious reverses, the
peasantry would harrass them terribly in their
retreat This hatred of Russia is confined to
no class, and to no district. 1t is almost as
hearty among the Wallachians as amongst
the Turks; and doubtless if the war should
continue, they will find means Of showing it,

70 The Brunswick Telegraph intimates
that the Kennebec and Portland Railroad is
responsible for great increase of profanity in
Brunswick.
A gentleman belonging up the Kennebec,
who wished to stop in Brunswick from the
afternoon train to the evening train. on the
representation of the conductor that there was
no risk, the train would be along at about
time, concluded to stop. lie got home the
next morning at O'Clock, having been en-
gagged most Of the night in tearing down rail
fences. That was very shrewd calculation
of the conductors but if it were ever excusa-
bic to swear, that gentleman might have done
so, when he got home.

Liquor CASES IN ESSEX County. The
Salem Observer contains list of several
cases in which the liquor law has been rigidly
enforced by Judge Perkins, of the Common
Pleas Court. In one case, John Robinson, of
Gloucester, who was called as a witness, pre-
tended that he could not remember that nc had
ever bought liquor of the defendant, or that
he testified in the case before the Justice
It appeared so plain to the Court that he was
committing perjury, that the Court ordered
him TO find bail in the snm Of $1,000 TO answer
to that charge.
