pretty soon that secssionism don't pay then We

full determination, pledge, and purpose, with
ever. And further, that as counsellor or attor
ney .atlaw, will in all cases prove faith ful Ia
my clients, and respect and obey the orders OF

Judge Frecse remarked that, as the court
was United States court, and none but loya
citizess had right TO appear b fore 1t, eilhc,
as plaintiffs or witnesses, it was, in his judg
ment, emiuently proper that none but loya
attorneys or counsellors should be permitted t,

kLOYD'S RAsCALITY-A Nhw CASE
COM h, no LIGHT. .

CONS no LIGHT.
On Monday, the 25ih instant, by direction Of
the Secretary of War, the proper papers were
sent forward, from the Engineer Bureau, 10
charge Of Gen. Totem, for The Q: :mmencc men,
Of the new fort at the mouth Of the Kenn, bee
river in Maine. In 1857, Congress approprla
led $1,000 for the commencement Of this
fort the Importance Of which will be readily
understood, when It is known that the city OF
Augusta, the capital Of the State Of Maine. the
important commercial port of Bath, the cities
of Gardiner and Hallowell, and other import
ant towns, lie above the proposed fort, on the
Kennebec river.
The title to all but one.eighth Of the proper
ty to be occupied for the site, was secured by
purchase, through the efforts Of the United
States District Attorney for Maine, at that time
held by Col. George F. Shepley, now in CON-
mand of the Twelfth regiment of Maine volun-
tecrs Tae remaining eighth was held by a
person. who, many yearsago went to California
and had not returned, and could not be found
Under these circumstances, II was thought pru
dent to take the land, or condemn It, under the
statute, and call in the county commissioner.
for an appraise.
Mr.. Shepley thereupon advised the War Office
Of the matter, and requested Mr.. Secretary
Floyd to send to him the properly authenti-
Gated certificate. under the seal Of the Wal
Department, Of the taking of the land, for th,
purpose named. This formal taking woult
vest the title in the Government Of the United
States, and euable the engineer officers to pro
coed with the construction of the fort.
Secretary Floyd sent on an Informal paper tc
the district attorney authorizing the taking o
the property. Mr.. Sheplcy replied, at once
that the paper lacked the proper formality
was without a seal, and provided paper
carefully drawn, for the purpose-requestin5
Secretary Floyd TO sign aud seal the paper
and return it to him for record. Floyd replied
in substance saying II my former paper is no
satisfactory, shall not trouble myself further
and he threw the whole thing aside-not will
ing. apparently, that the money should be ex
pended on fort in Maine.
Thus matters stood till the arrival OF Messrs
GIamIin, Williams aud Poor, commissioner,
from Maine, in reference to the coast def noes
They investigated this matter fully found the
papers 10 the Office Of the engineer, brought the
matter 10 the attention of the Government, and
procured the favorable action of the Secretary
Of War. On the return of General Tot,en to
his tifce, the proper proceedings were taken
and on Saturday last, General Cameron exc
cutcd the proper papers, which, after being re-
corded in the War Department., were sent for
ward by the Engineer Bureau, through Captain
Kurtz, and the work Of construction put in pro
gress. 1t is expected the stone work will b.
prepared this winter, and the work Hnisht,
next year, or put forward with all the dispatc
requisite to its early completion.
