The UNITEnSTATEs AGRICULTURAL SocIE-
TY AND THE PREss.-The following paragraph
in relation TO the exhibition of the U. S. Agri-
cultural Society and the Press, we copy from
the Courier of Oct. Sd, and commend il 10 the
attention of the Press throughout the country /:
1--WE are requested 10 state that the para
graph in the Courier Of Friday, respecting the
entertainment 10 be provided for the reporters
at the exhibition Of Tie United States Agricul-
inral Society, was in some particulars prema-
ture. The most ample accommodations will
be provided for the convenience Of reporters on
the ground, and every facility will be offered
them in obtaining full and accurate information
of every movement of interest which transpires.
A tent will be erected on the ground for their
use exclusively, and free tickets 10 all the de-
pariments of the exhibition will be furnished.
The matter Of making provisions at the hotels
for such an army of reporters as is expected to
be present has not been considered, and il is
doubtful whether ii could be carried out.

Civil War in Massachusetts.

Our readers,-says the Boston Post, will
not be alarmed al the announcement of civil
war in the very heart of the old commonwealth
of Massachusetts. 1t is not war that will do
harm to the masses of the people, and yet it is
a war most dire and threatening in its progress.
The eighty thousand rank and file of the sucked
in voters for Gardner last year have got into
5eud-couldn't help it-split into parties, and
assume terribly bellicose attitude towards
each other. 1t is quite pleasing to see the fight
go on, especially when yon do not care which
gets whipped. But they belabor each other at
a rate not at all anticipated by the true patriots
and friends of the country. No intelligent man
ever doubted the fact that know nothingism was
too corrupt to hold together long, but few ex-
pected to see the war commence so soon, and
to hear such astounding truths told concerning
the infamy of the whole party This family
fight o'ershadows all other matters in the polit-
cal field for the present. The democrats are
left with little to do, except to look on and be-
hold the results of the warfare. The two fac
tIons are performing upon each other the very
interesting operation said TO have been once
performed by certain pugnacious pair Of 'for-
eign' CATS We doubt, however, if in the end,
even the tips of their tails will remain
There is no reme1y for them, except the oil of
beach, which will be most effectually admins
tered by the democracy on the 9Th of next
month.

If the administration desire the question set
tied by the people-"Shall the Missouri COM
prise be reinstated ,''-let them make the is.
sue at their own expense republicans desire
no such thing.-DetroH Advertiser.
This is frank confession, certainly and a
very extraordinary one, those people will be
likely to think who have put faith in the pre-
tence that the fusionists were contending for,
and would not cease to contend for the restor-
alton of the Missouri compromise. Let it be
remembered that the ''repu6licdns desire no suct
thing as the restoration of the Missouri COM
promiSe.-Detrot Free Press.
And the fusionsts of Massachusetts, have re-
solved that the restoration of the Missouri
compromise is no object. If the restoration of
the compromise is not an object, what harm
was there in its repeall A great political
panic has been made out ofit-the administra-
ton has been abused and prominent democrats
hung in efigy,-a species of bitter defamation
has been poured out from every anti-adminis-
tration press in the land, which could hardly
find counterpart i'll the country's history
and now the hypocrites turn round and say
they Dould not restore the rery thing the loss Of
,cliich ,cds such a dire calamity.
The truth is, the panic was all got up for
anti-democratic capital, and it will surely turn
against its abettors. The principle of the Ne
braska- Kansas bill is bound to triumph. 1t is
the true principle, and the sober, second
thought of the people will endorse it.

RUSSIAN News VIA WASHINGTON. The
Washington correspondent of the New York
Sun, who processes TO be thoroughly posted
in Russian matters, makes the following sin
gular statements
"A most singular communication from Rus
sia has lately leaked out at the State Depart
ment. The Gar has declared an intention to
make peace with the allies only on the condi-
tion that 'Constantinople shall be made a free
port, and all the seas beyond it opened to the
commerce of the world without exceptions or
partialities.'
Startling as this news may seem, it is per-
fectIy reliable, and whoever pretends to deny
it now, you may rely upon its being announced
TO the world as a fixed point in the Russian
plan of policy. After all; it appears that Pres
ident Pierce spoke by the card when he said
Russia was battling for freedom Of trade and
religious toleration;' though Mr.. Champion
was wrathy thereat, and talked about his gov
ernment asking explanations.
Since the taking of the south half of Sevas-
topol, this intimaton of the fixed determina-
ton of the Emperor Alexander to have 'the
establishment Of a free port at Constantinople
an infexible condition of peace has been re-
peated to our government. The communica-
ton is confidential, but distinctly official
and we must infer therefore, that Russia is moi
intimidated by the state of affairs in the Cri-
mea."

The late freshet on the Kennebec, has been
a most destructive one. The Age, from
which we gather the following particulars,
SAYS the water on Sunday noon was higher by
two feet than at any time since the great fresh
ct of 1882, which was occasioned by the Civ
ing away of a jam at Moosehead lake. The
water had risen within one day about 81 feet,
showing rapidity of rise surprising anything
ever seen before upon this river, by any person
now resident here.
Immense quantities of logs, sleepers, wood,
trees, &C., were borne along the current, and
by dashing against the works of the dam, and
striking and lodging upoa the piers Of the
railroad bridge, added to the damage which
threatened from the tremendous force of the
current itself.
Great anxiety was, of course, felt for the
dam and the works Herewith connected, as
also for the railroad bridge, and other property
situate within range of the flood, but we are
happy to state that we have learned of no seri-
GUS damage to any Of the structures supposed
TO be in danger. There were very considera-
Bile losses of logs, lumber and other materials,
but the dam, and everything appertaining
to it, rode out the storm most nobly. The
new part has been twice tested since its COM
pletion, fortnight ago, and has So endured
the test, as to strengthen public confidence
greatly in its immovable stability and perma-
nence. u4
We learn that the old Skowhegan bridge
was swept away, and that the roads in the vi
cinity were badly damaged.
Mr.. Hathorn, of Winslow, is said to have
lost some 25, 900 railroad seepers.
The Atlantic and ST. Lawrence railroad
suffered some injury and some portion of the
Androscoggin and Kennebec road near Win
throp was washed away. A slide occurred
upon the Somerset and Kennebec railroad at
Winslow, portion of the banks at the deep
clay cut having washed down upon the road.
The Penobscot and Kennebec and Kennebec
and Portland roads escaped without material
injury. ...r .laet uz
Thirteen buildings in North Anson were
carried away by the freshet. At Skowhegan,
the carding mill, two saw mills, grist mill,
bridge and two houses were carried away
At New Sharon the saw mill and carding
mill went down stream, and the starch mill
was badly damaged. Many bridges were car
ried away on the Sandy River. On the Penob-
scot and its tributaries much damage has been
done. As yet, we have not heard of very Sc
rious damage upon the Androscoggin.

The Reaction.

Eastward, Westward and Somh,rard the Star
Of Democracy takes its ,cay. t.
I" As goes Maine, so goes the Union,' is a
saying often verified by truth. MAINE spoke
in thunder tones against Hindooism and Abo-
litionism.
Pennsylvania, the Keystone State, has
followed in the wake of Maine, electing Plu-
mer, democrat, canal commissioner, by some
10000 majority. Las: year the fusionists
carried the State by some 81 900 majority.
The legislature is strongly democratic in both
branches, insuring the election of democrat
ic U. S. Senator in place of Cooper, whig.
ONO has done well. Last year the fusion
lists had $4,000 majority in the State; this
year, Chase's majority over Medill (d) and
Trimble TX. ny will not probably exceed TO-
900. Chase is one of the embodimen;s Of
northern abolitionism, but everywhere through
the State he has lost largely from the fusion
ticket of last year. At less rate of depreci-
alton for another year, fusionism will have its
nose out of joint in Ohio, even.
INDIANA, IN II counties shows democratic
majority of 4,024. In the same counties las,
year the fusion majority was 4,173. The
democrats have gained s,197 in these counties
as compared with the vote of last year. They
have swept the State clean, by very large
majority. r
In GEORGIA, the democrats have achieved a
grand victory. A democratic Governor has
been chosen by handsome majority, and the
Legislature will be democratic on joint ballo,
by so or go majority. Six democrats and two
know-nothings elected to Congress.

F Finding all hope of Morrillism gone

last resort. 1t is our opinion all they make out

The PRESIDENT. A Washington cores
pondent Of the Baltimore Republican writes
as follows =
"The President will return from the agri-
cultural fair at Harrisburg on Friday next.
These occasioned relaxations from the ardu-
Gus duties of the presidential office are essen
tial to health. There never was an occupant
Of the presidential chair who more diligently
performed the multifarious business pertain
ing to it than Gen. Pierce; there never was
one who made himself so familiar by actual
observation and investigation with the mnutia
of business in the. several executive depart
ments. Scarcely day passes that the Presi-
dent may not be seen in one or the other de-
partments, prosecuting some inquiry into off
cial matters, and overlooking the general
transactions of the various bureaus; and so
quiet are his visits, and unobtrusive his de-
meanor, that stranger could hardly distin-
guish him from the clerks among whom he
moves. The vast and complicated machinery
of the executive departments never worked
more smoothly or satisfactorily than under the
present administration and this is owing to
the watchful care and industry of the Presi-
dent and the heads of departments.

OF We notice that the Portland Advertiser
denies the "soft impeachment of the Post,
that it published the ballad describing the death
of the Wiley family, for its literary merit.
We are somewhat surprised that it recants.
and takes all the poetry out of so thrilling a
story. We had supposed it possessed much
merit as poem, all the circumstances were SO
vividly pictured. To the traveller who visits
the romantic spot and recalls the events of that
fatal night, it must have been of much inter-
est. 1t would have been a pleasure indeed.
and have added much to the grandeur of the
scenery, if when few years since, we looked
