State-ons and ail-are earnestly requested
to meet in convention at AUGUSTA, on
"WEDNESDAY, January 18th, to confer togeth-
or on the all-important subject Of PxonIBr-
rIoS.
The ruinous effects Of the present license
system upon the. interests social. moral, and
physical, Of the State, are plainly seen, and
1t is equally apparent to all who are not
wilfally blind that law prohibiting the
ale Of intoxicating liquors is demanded BY
every consideration Of duty and human
ity
The fearful ruin Of our young men aud the
sad downfall Of men in mature age, the
wretched state Of wives and mothers, and { 9
iorlOrn coalition Of neglected children, des.
olate homes untimsly graves, all plead in
powerful tones for the speedy repeal Of the
rnhuman license law, and tor the prompt en-.
actment Ofa wise statute utterly prohibiting
and entirely supprcssing the sale Of intoxi-
eating liquors.
Never was more expected Of Maine than
now never was it in her power more to BEN
edt herself, and by her example to bless the
world, than the present opportunity affords.
Let then, the earnest friupdsPf PYohibi
ton, fiom Kittery Point to ouoddy Head
and from the Atlantis shore to the Canada
hne, n.lly, in their iull strength. at the cap
ital Of the State, and there proclaim to the

and what by heavens blessing they mean to
accOmplish-the complete annihlla,ion Of

Our Fourteenth Volume.

We commence, this first day Of Janu,

Quoted, and declaring how it will be man.
aged for the future. Our friends through.
out the county will DO us favor TO call
attention 10 the prospectus, and il they
can do so conscieutiously, commend the
paper to wider patronage. We need
more paving subscribers. Our list may
be extended indefinitely, and must be, TO
give us any thing like fair remuneration
tor our labors. We ought TO have at
least 5000 paving subscribers in the
County of York, and can have that num-
Der, should active cxertions be made TO
Increase the list. II each of the present
subscribers should make pOirt to OBJ
tain another name. the list would exceed
that number, and such an increase would
make Us truly grateful. Events that are
in different parts OF our coun-
try, in Washington, in Utah, in Kansas,
rs we'll AS in our own State, will give the
press plenty to do, if it works
faithfully, and make the newspaper unu.

50 Tar rs our paper is concerned, We shall
leave nothing undone which is required
to keep our readers fully informed OF
events as they transpire, aud in addition
to the current news of the day, our col
umns will contain large amount of va
ried miscellaneous reading, on topics Of
interest to the community in which it is

LATER FROM UTAH.
WAsHISoSoS, Dec. %.

"AouiNoNos, bSSs Scs
The war department to-day received
official dispatches from the head quar-.
,ers Of the army of Utah dated Block
Fork, 3 miles below the mouth Of Harris
Fork, Nov. 4. Col. Johnston states that
Col. Smith with his command, and the
numerous trains guarded by il, ached
there Nov. 80. The march was slow and
tedious averaging IL miles day. AL.
though the roads were excellent and the
weather fine, it was not impossible to
make more rapid progress on account Of
the broken down condition Of the draughi
animals. No molestation whatever wa.
attempted by the Mormons, which may
be attributable to the presence Of cavalry
and the judicious disposition and vigi
lance Of Col. Smith.
The communications from Brigham
Young TO Col. Alexander, and Elders ant
Taylor to Capt Marcy, and the orders o
ID. Wells, commander of the Mormons
which Capt. Johnston encloscs, and thu
acts OF the legislative assembly at the las
session, show, he says, a manifest and set
tled design on the part Of tie Mormons
to hold and occupy the territory indepen
dent and in open defiance Of the govern
ment connected with numerous over
acts OF treason.
Col. Johnston has ordered that where
ever they are met with in arms they ma,
be treated as enemies, and he reitcrate
the necessity for prompt and vigorous ac
ton, or the United States must submit 4
the occupation OF their territory. Tn
conduct of the Mornons results from
settled determination on their part, no
to acknowledge the authority OF til
United States nor any other outside G
their church.

ARRIVAL or TIE NORTHERN LIGHT.
Nrw YoRK. Dec. 81.

NEw YORK, Dec. ~.
The steamship Northern Light from
Aspinwall 10th inst, has arrived with iii,
California mails OF the 9th inst. Sht
brings $50 passengers and tritic Owe
100000 in specie.
Gen. Walker is a passenger in th'
Northern Light.
The U. S. flag ship Wabash, arrived
at Aspinwall on the l4th, with Gen
Walker on board, and all the arms and
ammunition captured ut San Juan de-
Nor;c.
Col. Anderson was still at Castillo
He had three months provisions, six pie
ces of artillery, which he captured from
the Costa Ricans with an abundance o.
ammunition.
The Panama Herald states that The
Wabash Ian ed $50 men and captured
Walker.
On the sth Gen. Walker and all hi,
men surrendered prisoners ofwar to Com
modore Paulding.
On the 10Th the fri ate Saratoga sailed
from San Juan for Norfolk with $50 men
Of Walkers army.
Gen. Walker was sent to New York
on parole.
The news from California j, unimpor.
tsnt, except a. to the mining interest.
The receipts Of gold from the mines
was steadily on the increase, though,
there was some scarcity Of water.
The financial condition OF Callfoi mia
was improving. There were over $780,
900 in the State Treasury.
A report had reached San Francisco,
via Oregon, that Col. johnson had been
defeated by the Mormons with the loss OF
$50 men, and had been forced to retreat.
A telegraphic despatch from Washing
ton dated Dec. 30, in relation to the al
rest of Walker, is as follows -
The Cabinet had the matter before
them to-day. Although the arrest OF
Gen. Walker is not strictly justified by
the instructions TO Com. Paulding. il is
conceived tl.ai the case is very much pal.
hated by The circumstances under which,
Us explained by him, il was affected.
Capt. Engle had long interview with
the President to-day, and detailed tohim
all the circumstances connected with the
arrest OF Walker.
Gen. Walker arrived this evening, nc.
by Mashal Ryndcn, +. F.
Meager and Malcolm Campbell. He was
received with cheers by large coucourse
Of people as he entered his quarters at
Browns Hotel.
Walker and Rynders called at the State
this evening. Gen. Cas- said
that the Executive Department OF the
Government dill not recognize Walker ms

Inc action OF the Judiciary that h. could
D. lawfully held to any charge against

Marshal Ryndes then informed Walk.

or that he had no authority to dctain him
further. Both then withdrew.
So It seems although the administra-
ton gave specific orders to the authori.
ties at New Orleans 10 prevent Walker
from going out Of the country with his
band Of Marauders, and actually removed
public officer, on the ground that he
winked at their escape, had not power to
retain him after he was brought back.
