dcrs it unnecessary for the proprietor to enter into

VERITAS.

MAINE ELECTIoN.-The last Kenne-
bee Journal gives official returns from all
the towns in the State, except Deer Isle,
Islandport and Mercer, and fourteen plan
tations.
The aonreoate vote is 96.545
Morrill,, Republican, has 54,O49
Smith, Democrat, (who receives
the votes of the Patten whigs,) 42,250
Morrill, over Smith 1899
The towns and plantations yet to be
reported, in 1856 voted as follows: For
Hamlin COZ, for Wells 881, for Patten
20. These unreported places include
the French settlements on the St. John,
which then gave a Democratic majority
of 400. They are now reported to have
elected Republican representative, and
the probability therefore is, that they
have thrown a corresponding vote for
Governor, and made a net Republican
gain of some 400 votes.
1t may therefore be safely assumed
that Mr.. AIorrill's majority is something
rising 10000. The State Senate has
but one Democrat-Hobart of Washing
ton. The house stands, III Republicans
to 81 Democrats-certainly a good work
ing majority. For County officers, the
Republicans have elected ecery one Of
their candidates IN the achole State, ex-
cept one in the eastern district of Lincoln
county, where Daniel Rose, Democrat
is elected Register of Deeds. A more
perfect victory could not be asked for
and yet it was won without effort. This
settles the position of Maine for some
time to come.

GREAT NATURAL CURIosITY.-We
have in our Office a specimen of rice corn
raised on the farm of VIM. S. Flint, of
this town; it is in the shape of a chiId's
hand-the right hand-it is complete in
all its parts and perfect except that the
little finger is little too large for its pro-
portion. The fingers are each separate
from the other as they should be, the in
dex finger being shorter than the middle
finger, as on the natural hand, the ball Of
the thumb swelled out complete, and the
hand tapers off to the wrist, just as it
should be in the human hand. We chal-
lenge the world to produce anything to
compare with this. We take this to be a
certain sign of some fore-runner.

THE LOST DAUGHTER and other True
Stories of the Heart. By Mrs. Caro-
line Lee Hentz. Author of Lidia,"
Rena," " Planters Northern Bride
Eoline," Marcus Warland," Love
after Marriage" q Robert Graham"
etc. etc. Complete in one large duo
decimo volume, neatly bound in cloth,
for Sips; or in two volumes, paper
cover, for $l,00.
From the "DoHar Newspaper"
As a successful writer of sketches,
Mrs. Hentz is, in our opinion unequaled
in this country, and her continuous stories
are marked by all the characteristics that
proclaim the true novelist-a natural and
ably developed plot, great powers of
Imagination and construction, purity Of
feeling, and evident earnestness Of pur-
pose on the part of the author, without
which the reader cannot feel interested
in any story.'while she possesses also the
artistic skill which causes the interest Of
the reader TO increase as the tale pro-
ceeds, to the end of the last chapter. All
who have read Linda, and " Rena,"
or the Snow Bird, will readily acknOwl-
edge this; while the " Banished Son, y
and - owe after Marriage" attest to
her excellence as a sketch writer. Every
one feels, while reading her tales, that
the writer herself must possess the viz
tue, and patriotism, and religious senti-
ment she inculcates, and we knew many
who had no personal acquaintance with
the author who esteemed her as a dear
friend. Mrs. Hentz was the most sue
cessful female writer that our country
has produced, and Mr.. Peterson has pub
lished The Lost Daughter" uniform
ly with her Linda" COurtship and
Marriage" the Banished Son." &c.
in a beautiful duo-decimo volume. She
combines the power Of delineation and
grace of style in a remarkable degree, and
was a close observer of human nature, SC
that all her characters seem as natural
as life, while she always had a moral
aim in her writings, which commends
them to the frcside of every family in
the land as profitable and pleasant read,
ing. We must commend to her many
former admirers this posthumous edition
of her last nouvellettes, and we are sure
they will be eagerly inquired for by al
whenever the work is announced for sale
| "a Copies of either edition of the
work, will be sent to any part of the
United States, free of postage, on re.
hitting the price to the publisher, in a

WALKER SNUBBED.-The Hon.
Charles J. jenkins, of Georgia, in reply
to letter from Walker, the fllibuster,
which has appeared in the southern jour-
mails, and in which the revival of the
slave trauc and the introduction of slaves
into Nicaragua are advocated, says:
"He has driven me to the alternative
of submitting to inevitable misconstruc-
ton, or of making unfavorable comments
upon a letter addressed to myself. l
choose the latter, declaring unequivocal-
ly-Fist that WHOLLY disapprove Gen.
William Walkers contemplated invasion
and conquest of Nicaragua. Secondly,
that the proposed revival of the African
slave trade is abhorrent to me. / will
add that Gen. Walker has taken a very
unwarrantable liberty with me-a liber-
ty inconsistent with the sense of proprie.
ty which should regulate intercourse be.
tween Strangers liberty expressly in.
terdicted by my plain declaration, tina
its publication as a letter addressed t.
me, must depend upon my concurrence

SOUTHERN WHEAT.-The Charles
town correspondent of the Memphis
Bulletin says:
Z" 1t is estimated that the wheat crop
of Tennessee, Georgia, North and South
Carolina, will amount to four and ball
million bushels, and that of this amount
Charleston is likely to receive 25OOOl
barrels Of -four and 100000 bushels q
wheat. For the last nine months thers
have been exported to Spain from this
city 10000 barrels of -four. There are
now in Georgia and Tennessee twenty
large merchant mills, with the capacity d
200 barrels each per day, besides larg'
number of smaller capacity. There ar
also several large mills in North an
South Carolina, and great many small
er ones, so that Charleston may now b
termed -four and grain market.
