ADIsHoNEsT EXPRESS CLERK.-On the 10th
Of January last, package of bank bills passed
through the hands Of Thompson & Co.'S ex-
press, from the Bank Of Mutual Redemption at
Boston to the Chicopee bank of this city. The
package had burst open by rough handling or
imperfect sealing, exposing one end and a
$500 bill was skillfully drawn out by George r.
Mcneil head clerk for Thompson & Co. in this
city. lie sent the bill to a friend in New York.
with directions to buy treasury notes with it,
which was done, and the proceeds returned to
him. The package was immedatey reported
$500 short by the Chicope- bank. and detectives
were set at work to recover the money and
catch the rogue. In exactly one week. or on
the 18th. they had traced out the whole ofense.
and confronted Mcneil with the charge Of steal
ing. He made full confession. and restored
the plumber. lie was detained in custody and
the affair kept from the public for some time,
in order if possible to clear up another de-
ficiency, which occurred some three years ago
in redemption package, passing through the
office OF Thompson * Co., and which has cast
suspicion upon several persons since that time.
But no light could be obtained relative to the
former loss if indeed Mcneil was implicated in
it. He had enjoyed the entire confidence of
all his fellow employees, up to the moment of
his confession of guilt. lie has fed to parts
unknown.-Sprinaield Hepuj{ic0a.

The Paymaster General estimates the cost of
the rcgimental bands at 5000, 900 a wear. be-
sides their clothing and subsistence This in
cludcs, however, the 500 bounty to which each
man is entitled if he serves through the war.
The number of musicians is estimated at H.
800. bill has been introduced in the House
to discharge all these bands after the lst of
March.
Here is reform in the right direction. The
Legislature of Vermont last fall passed law
providing that no more regimcnlal bands should
be raised in this State. Hence the 9th Yer
mont Infantry and the lst Vermont Cavalry
went out without regimental Bands, and none
will be raised for the 9TH ard Sth Regiments
The Band Of the End Regiment has been dis
charged. 1t is now a well ascertaincd fact
that powder and ball in due proportions and
well applied, with little cold steel occasionally
'thrown in at the critical moment, will do
more TO suppress he rebellion than all the
music that has been made since the walls of Jeri-
cho fell from the blowing Of rams horns.
Modern warfare is materially different from that
in vogue in the days Of Joshua, and requires
radically different treatment.

OUR RELATIONS WITH ENGLAND.

The letter of Mr.. Seward to Lord Lyons, in
which he conceded the claims of Great Britain
to the possession of the rebel ENJOYS and their
secretaries, has been received by the British
government, and their liberation ana delivery
with the explanations made by our Secretary
in the language of Lord Russell, constitute
the reparation which her Majesty and the Brit
ish nation had q right to expect" So far that
government processes to be satisfied, nor does
it indicate the existence of any material for
further controversy.
But 1t is not 10 be disguised that, if the gem

caSlons have air ady aeisen or are likely soon
to arise sufficient to war; ant the interference of

and in Recognizing the nationally of the Soutb-

for meddling in the matter, whatever may be
the ostensible reasons Just now the British
press is Mortified with the stopping up of the
port of Charleston, as If their own government
never resorted to similar means to blockade the
ports of foreign power. What next its COM

Az ANTI Corn DISTRICT IL MAINE.-Nr.
Goodale, Sec. of the Maine Board . . Ngricul-
turc, in the recent discussions of the Board sta
ted that there is a tract OF land in Maine, both
south and north of which Indian corn could be
grown, but upon which it would not grow He
had never been able to trace out definitely the
exact line, for much Of it was now in forest
At Phillips and just North of there, corn could
be grown, but between there and Rangley the
line of Division showed itself. From there he
could trace the line northeast until it reached
the foot Of Moose Head Lake-he believed corn
was not grown at Greenvillc; but dozen miles
beyond. at Monson, they raised good corn
Large crops were raised at Golden Ridge, in
Aroostook county. The tract of land he be-
lieved was wedge shaped.
