This association is based purely upon patri-
otism and benevolence. 1t has two objects
simply. First, to prosecute and collect, with
fidelity and despatch, the various claims of our
Soldiers and Sailors, and their legal represent
atives, upon the Government, arising out of the
present war, "at a cost simply covering the ex-
penses of doing the business" Second. to
protect the Government against fraudulent
claims, ane dishonest practices, and shield
those who have deserved we'll of their country.
their families and friends, from imposition and
eXtortion.
The entire business of the Association is un-
der the supervision aud control of the Execu-
tive Committee, and the character and stand
ing OF the gentlemen who compose it afford
an ample guaranty that the objects above
specified will be carried out with fidelity,
promptness, and success.
No person connected with the Association
is to receive any compensation for his services,
except their Actuary, and such Assistants as
shall be found necessary, who are appointed by
the Executive Committee, and removable at
its will: and the pay of such is solely at the
discretion of that body, and is to be graduated
from time to time as nearly to gratuity as
the nature of the case will admit BY this
mode it is believed that claimants will be ena-
bled to save one-half, at least, of the ordinary
charges for doing such business.
Local Directors will be appointed through
out the State, as soon as arrangements can be
perfected. All communications should be ad-
dressed to GEO. I. EMERY,

EVERLASTING FIRE.-When the track of
being graded, in crossing meadow near the
populous portion of the latter city the "dump"
suddenly took on a sinking symptom, and
down went the twenty feet fill of gravel, clay
and broken rocks, oat OF sight, and it was a
long, long time before dirt trains could fill the
capacious stomach that seemed ready to receive
all the solid material that could be turned into
it. The difficulty was at length overcome,
but all along the side of the snkage the earth
was thrown up, broken into yawning chasms,
and the surface was thus elevated above its old
watery level. Since that time this ground,
thus slightly elevated, has been cultivated, and
has yielded enormously of whatever the own
er seemed disposed to plant upon it. Some
three months ago, by some means unknown to
us, the underlying peat took fire, and for
weeks, as we had occasion to pass it, we no.
ticed the smoke arising from the smoulderinp
combustion beneath the surface. Rains fell. but
the fire burned, and the smoke continued to
arise. Monday we had occasion to pass the
spot, and thou ,h nearly weeks rain had been
drenching the ground, and though the surface
was whitened with snow, and though pools of
water were standing upon the surface in the
immediate neighborhood, still the everlasting
subterranean fire was still burning, and the
smoke arising through the snow. The fact,
and the attending circumstances, are certainly
singular.

The Victory for Freedom in Missouri

ne tActofy tOT EIceuom HI MlssOuTls
While waiting for victories in the field, let
us not overlook the Importance ofthe wonder
1ul and glorious victory which freedom has
gained In the slave State OF Missouri. One of
the most remarkable revolutions Of public
opinion which ever took place in the course of
few months has just happened there. While
partisans In the free States have been apollo
gizing for slavery and doing what they could
to perpetuate its threatened existence, the citi-
zens of Missouri have pronounced verdict of
condemnation against the institution, and have
solemnly registered their determination to be
rid of it. Four of their nine Congressman are
ranked as radical emancipationists and one as
Union emancipationist. A majority of the
legislature are emancipationists, and will of
course elect men OF that stamp to the United
States Senate. Senator Henderson, who more
than any other man may be considered as the
leader of the triumphant party, and whose ear
nest efforts have contributed largely to its sue
cess, will probably be one of the Senators.
The name of B. Gratz Brown, who has labored
with signal ability and devotion for the result
which has been achieved, is prominent among
those mentioned as the future colleague of Mr..
Henderson. At any rate, men with their
principles will represent the State in the Sem
ate.
Missouri has had chance to see slavery
and the rebellion cooperating upon her soil,
and she now tells US her opinion of them.
She wishes both removed from her domain.
The war has enlightened her respecting the
dangerous element In slavery. She perceives
that she can have'no assurance of permanent
peace, no safeguard against tumult, guerillas,
destructive raids, until the cause of the dis
turbances is removed. She cannot be blind to
the supirior progress in wealth and population,
which the free States near her have made.
She is not ignorant of the fact that the thou
sands of hardy emigrants from the east and
northern Europe, who have been enrching
Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin and MINNESOTA, prefer
those States only because slavery is not found
in them. The fine climate, the rich soil, the
vast mineral resources of Missouri will attract
them thither as soon as slavery is gone and
peace is restored. The war, disorganizing to
a great extent slavery in the State, has press
ed these considerations home with new force,
until it has become manifest to every observ-
ing man that slavery cannot long remain in
the State.

Maine War Claim Association.

In another column we have published
and we have done it with pleasure-thec circu-
lar of the this newly-formed Association, the
design and object of which are of the most be-
nevolent and patriotic character. The con-
tribution of Maine to the land and naval force
of the Union, will not fall much, if any, short
of 10000. How much this number will be in
creased before the closing up of the war, no
human foresight can with exact accuracy tell.
The claims of individuals of this vast number,
upon the general government, growing out OF
bounties, back pay, &c, must be immense, to
say nothing Of the question OF pensions. Al
lowing that the amount shall average only
S75 per man, the aggregate sum would be 3,-
100000. In a large majority of cases these
small items-in the aggregate so large-would
belong to those in by no means opulent cir
cumstapces; generally to those by whom S75
would be regarded as no mean addition to
their scanty means; in many instances, doubt
less, to the widows and orphans, or the depend
ent parents of those who have fallen upon the
field of battle, or died of disease contracted in
the public service,-and the object of the As
sociation is to secure to such their just rights,
with the smallest subtraction from those rights
in the form of expenses. The claims of our
soldiers, or their legal representatives, will be
prosecuted with vigor and fidelity, and not
cent of charge will be made in the shape of
fees beyond the actual expenses, which, it is
believed, will not exceed two, or two and
half per cent There is to be no conflict with
other claim agents or agencies; for if any
body else will do the business as cheaply, or
cheaper, the Association will bid them hearty
God-speed; their simple design being to Sc
cure to the claimant the benefit of his claim,
with the least possible abatement in the form
of commissions, fees, or expenses.
Local Directors are to be appointed in all
the cities and principal towns of the State;
men of intelligence and heart, who will act
without pay, imparting information to those
who need, and aiding them to bring their
claims to the attention of the Actuary, and to
furnish him with the needful papers to support
the claim.
GEO. f. EMERY, Esq, the Actuary, is gen-
tleman too well known to need word of COM
mendation from us-to know him is enough to
secure confidence in HMM his integrity, his
honor, and in the kindly qualities of his heart.
He will enter upon his duties with earnestness,
and prosecute the business committed to his
charge with fidelity. More need not be said.
1t is hoped the press of the State will feel dis
posed to copy the circular Of the Association,
and to give ii the benefit of such endorsement
as its merits shall seem to them to warrant.

MEssRs. EDITORS :-Doubtless your read
ers will not wish your columns to be filed up
with long controversy concerning the debate
at Mechanics Hall, yet some of your readers
are unwilling that the impressions calculated
to be left on the mind by perusal of your
correspondent "Machigonne," should pass en-
tirely uncorrected.
That reporter, either from lack of judgment
or design, Il will not impute the latter) has,
in his communication, given the entire strength
of eloquence and argument in the last debate,
to "Mr. j. T. Emery" and "Chas. p. Kimball,
Esq"
Iwould not, for any consideration, endeavor
to rob these gentlemen of their full credit in
to furnish the press detailed account of this
interesting debate is made, it should be fairly
done.,
Mr.. Beale's argument, which aimed to show
scheme would hit the rebellion in its most vul-
nerable point, and that, to effect this, patriotic
union at the north only was requisite, was
fairly enough treated; but with this exception,
no gentleman speaking upon the affirmative
was admitted by "Machigonne," to have said
anything to the subject.
Now, sir, Mr.. G. l.. Bailey, a sound practi-
cal thinker, and "a logical debater, although
diverging from the main question to rebut col
lateral arguments Of the opposition, made a
strong point in contrasting free and slave
labor, and also touching the constitutional
rights of rebels, which had been confidently
discussed by the opposite side. Mr. Ambrose
Giddings produced arguments against slavery
and in favor of its abolition, which, while they
bore directly upon the question at issue, must
have been convincing, not only to those "of his
side" but to all who were not incurable with
the disease of "nigger on the BRAIN"
Mr.. II. c. Lowell wisely took occasion in ac-
cordance with his nature, to raise the spirits of
the audience by anecdotes, at the same time
giving forcible expression to sentiments which
some very plainly understood to bear upon the
question under discussion.
Whether the debate Twill close on the eve
ming of Dec. 4th" or not, is not yet precise
ly determined, yet it is quite certain that some
attempts will be made on that occasion to illus
trate the glorious truths and virtues of the
doctrines of universal emancipation" and to
rebut the fiippant assumptions which claim all
political wisdom, all constitutional loyalty, and
all patriotic craftsmanship for that party who,
in their mad devotion to the internal system
of human bondage, have brought this our hap
py country to the brink of destruction.
