Justice to Sergeant GOss.

CAMP GROVER, Cross ROADS
Montgomery Co., Md, Nov. 81. 1862.
MEssRs. EDITORS Hearing with pain and
modification of the arrest OF Joseph Goss,
Sergeant in Co. G, 23d Me. regiment, and his
removal from his home in Danville, take this
opportunity to inform the public, through the
columns of your paper, Of the true nature Of
the affair.
While our regiment was at Camp Abraham
Lincoln, one of my men deserted and l dis
patched Sergeant Goss in search of the deser-
ter. While on bis errand, our regiment left
the State, and, in the meantime, Sergeant Goss
was taken sick with typhoid fever and thus,
while our regiment was on its way TO the seat
of war, he was doomed TO the sad disappoint-
ment of remaining. And a few days since,
being at home with his family, with my per-
mission, recovering from his protracted Illness,
he was arrested by an officer of the law, and
forced from thence.
Through justice to Sergeant Goss, who pos
sesses as manly and patriotic heart as ever
beat, and who is noted for the integrity and
purity of his manhood, submit the preced-
ing statements. Capt. A. p. LAME,
Co. &, 23d Me, regiment.

hearts of all our readers to look upon the Ar
nual Home Festival of 1865, dark as are some
of the reflections cast upon it. and painful as
must be some of the thoughts that will force
themselves upon our attention,-as cne of the
green spots in life's journey, to which, in all
future time, memory may revert with pleasure,
and find in it many beautiful picture of
home-love and pure affection with which to
adorn its secret chambers. And on this occa-
sion, sacred to home joys, let not the poor, the
comfortless, the bereaved, the stricken--not
even the sinner-be forgotten. at Is more

the excellent and indefatigable Agent for this
State, has forwarded, and will continue to for
ward ior publication in the State paper--the
Kennebec Journal - complete and accurate
lists of Maine soldiers in the various hospitals
in and near Washington, and connected with
the army Of the Potomac. Other papers can
of course copy from the Journal, says our
informant, as it would be impracticable for
Col ii. to prepare lists for more than one pa
per. If but one paper is to receive the lists,
and Others are to copy from it, why not send
to some one of the Daily papers, SO that 9TH

tunity to copy, as otherwise they may be re-
quired to?

EVENING.

sA day or two since we had pleasant
call from S. R. NILES, Esq, the popular and
efficient Newspaper Advertising Agent, who
has his office in Scollay's Building, corner of
Court street and Cornhll, Boston. Mr. Niles
succeeded V. b. Palmer, the father, if we mis-
take not, of this line of business. He was for
mery an apprentice to the printing business in
this city, and he has done nothing to reflect
discredit upon the establishment from which
he graduated. Mr. Niles is one of the men
who has seen the benefits of advertising; that
to the merchant or the man of business, the
expenditure of few hundred dollars, more or
less, in judcious advertising, is like the ex-
penditure of money by the intelligent farmer
for fertilizers for his lands, each dollar expend-
ed coming back increased ten-f9ld, in the
shape of profits. This lesson he would i'm
press upon the minds of business men. Prin-
ters' ink is the best fertilizer for a business
soil, ever yet discovered-and Mr. Niles knows
where it is safe and profitable to use it.

THE CosHTo THE STATE.

1t was probably a well-considered feature
of the act that no part of the appropriation
can be used for the erection of buildings for
the proposed college. In the establishment
OF the Institutions of learning, there have been
too many examples of improvident expenditure
for mere externals, leaving but little means for
the weightier matters appertaning thereto.
To guard against danger from this source.
the act provides wisely, If not conrenient-
ty, that the State shall incur the expense
OF erecting or otherwise securing the neces-
sary buildings. This will probably be urged
as an objection to accepting the grant. A wise
policy, however, will not long weigh the ex-
penditure of a few thousand dollars for this
purpose against the magnificent donation thus
placed within our reach. If the State should
hesitate, in these times of pressure, to make
the necessary apprapriotion for the erection of
new buildings, there are other methods still
open to US. Of the literary institutions now
in operation, there are several which would
be very ready to offer the use of their buildings
for this purpose.
1t is earnestly hoped that the Legislature
will deliberate wisely, and decide firmly to
pursue such course as will secure the high
est advantages of the contemplated measure,
without regard to local feeling or sectional or
institutional interests.
The war is not for always Peace with her
nobler pursuits will return 10 us. We shall
need the best possible agencies to develop our
resources and to train our people to the largest
intelligence and truest patriotism; and we
shonld hail with pleasure the prospect and the
promise of new facilities by which the masses
of our population may acquire the scientific
and practical education so essential to our
highest progress as great people.
Not doubling that the incoming State Gov
ernment, like that which is about to retire,
will cherish the educational interests of the
State, and add to their efficiency as much as
in them lies,
i am, gentlemen, yours very respectfully,
EDw. p. WESTON.

two Of their number are officers, pretty well
informed with respect to our military affairs.
sVThe Washington correspondent of the
New York Evening Post informs US, that mil
itary gentlemen express the opinion that Gen.
eral Mcdowell viii be triumphanty successful
before the Court which inquiries into his case
His removal was merely to crafty the popular
feeling, and not because the President or Gem
Haleck believed him guilty of any misconduct.
Sg The illustrator of the fine panoramic
paintings, at Deering Hall, had better correct
up his historical lore. In exhibiting the ne
gro regiment at Beaufort, he remarked, "ths
is the first and last experiment with negro
troops" Unfortunately for this bit of history,
the papers are even now publishing the recent
gallantry of some negro battalions west of the
Mississippi, in successfully charging rebel bat
teries.
Mr.. BAXTER, NJ. p, ON AMERIcA.-Mr.
Baxter, NJ. p. in an address at Dundee, on
the 9th, contended that slavery was the cause
of the Ameeican war; He concluded by say
ing; "What want to bring out is, that there
can be no safety, much less good government
and progress in any country based upon such
programme as that adopted by the Southern
Confederacy; nor do l believe any peace or
settlement worth six months purchase as long
as the fountain head and origin of the evil is
not removed. Any arrangement short of
eventual emancipation may delude the cotton
brokers of Liverpool and the Conservative
country gentlemen; but, inasmuch as it leaves
the sonrce of hostility more active and
aggressive than ever, it will prove but hol-
low, and, perhaps, an impotic truce.
