FIRE IN ACToN.-On the 18th inst, the barn
of Mr.. Sylvester Loud was burned to the
ground. There was in the barn at the time q
sleigh and pung, and some farming utensils.
The fire originated from some heartless boys
that were having some fun with dog. They
caught the dog and tied some shavings to him,
and then set fire to them and set him loose.
AS soon as loose, the dog started for the barn.
where there was some hay, and in few mo-
ments it was all on fire. Mr.. Loud had Just
finished some repairs that he was making on
the barn. There were some carpenters tools
in the barn but the most of them were saved.

cey and his celebrated Scarlet Letter, in which
he boldly avowed his programme to disinte-
CRATE the Democratic party and to seize upon
means to inhame the Southern mind, to sire
the Southern heart" and to "precipitate the
cotton States into a revolution"
Another witness is somewhat celebrated
divine in Charleston, s. Cone Rev. DIR.
Smith, who, before the elimination of the re-
bellion wrote pamphlet upon the "cause and
the cure" of the troubles dividing the North
and the South. We regret that we have not
his exact words before us, but we avouch that
we do his meaning no injustice. Dr. Smith,
in treating Of the cause of the evils referred
to, distinctly repudiated the idea that it was to
be sought in the prevalence of anti-slavery
sentiments at the North, or to the triumph of
the Republican party, but emphatically de-
clared that the cause lay deeper and back of
all such things, and was to be sought primari-
ly in that "red republican, atheistical docu-
ment, the DECLARATION OF INDEPEN-
DENcEp and the cure or remedy was to be
found only by ignoring the principles of that
document-the principles of equality-and re-
cognizing and acting upon contrary princi-
pie.
We have time TO introduce but single wit
ness more, and he man of more brains, and
confessedly more honesty, than are common to
the leaders in the South. We refer to Alex
ander II. Stephens, the Vice President under
the rebel government. In speech delivered
in Savannah, after his Inauguration, ne UNDER
took to set forth the reasons which justified
the rebel movement, and the mission of the
Southern Confederacy. In that speech he paid
high tribute to the honesty of the men who
framed the Constitution. He said the Consti-
tuition had been generally regarded at the
North, and its provisions and compromises had
been respected. On this ground he distinctly
discaimed all reason to complain. But while
the men who framed the Constitution were
honest, he said they were mistaken. They be-
lievcd in the natural equality of mankind and
that freedom is the normal condition of ALL
They acted on this idea; believed slavery
social, moral and political evil, contrary to ma
ture, resting upon usurpation; and believing
that it would soon pass away they ignoredit
in the Constitution as much as possible, and
allowed the idea which possessed their own
hearts, and which they seem not to have doubt
ed. TO run through and oive tone IN their whole
work.
Mr.. Stepbens saws that in this tbev erred
and their errpr-a fundamental one he STYLES
it-has corrupted the Constitution which they
framed. The Southern Confederacv be sovs

gested that all sanitary stores coming to this
city from Maine for soldiers, should come to
the care of our own men, and as we are in
want Of some for our soldiers in the hospitals
now, would suggest that they come or be di-
rected to the Chairman of our Executive Com
mittee from our State, S. p. Brown, Navy
Agent. We are in want of shirts, drawers,
thin pants, slippers, stockings, light over gar
ments of some kind, and should our folks have

we should want a considerable amount Of such
articles as is above named Please accept this
as only suggestion from a person who is a
sympathizer with our sick and wounded boys.
