The state Prison Murder.

The Bangor Wing says that Mr.. Tinker, of
whose brutal murder by convict in the State
Prison an account has been given by telegraph,
and who was appointed 10 the Wardenship
about three years ago, was man highly re-
spected for bis integrity and many amiable
qualities, and his loss will be deeply deplored
by his friends and acquaintance. He has for
some months past been laboring under great
depression Of mind, in consequence of the
loss Of much loved wife and daughter.
The murderer, Spencer Francis c. is en-
tered on the record as native of Frankfort,
and now IS years old. He was sentenced in
Cumberland county, in 1860, to five years i'm
prisonment for an assault to ravish" He is
a william of the deepest dye.
Spencer, the murderer, who was committed
from Bangor about thirty years ago, was
transferred to the Insane Hospital.
The murder of Mr.. Tinker is the third muir
der of a Warden that has occurred in New
England State Prisons within very few
years: one in Massachusetts, and one in Con-
necticut. Is it not possible that officers of the
penitentiary too often forget the care that
should be exercised in putting themselves
within reach of hardened desperados? And
while the kindness which they generally ex-
hibt towards the criminals is creditable to
their humanity, does not the imprudence, if
not carelessness, with which they expose
themselves to danger, evince lack of good
judgment

UNION MEETING.
C. C. COFFIN, Esq, of Boston,
win address the
Loyal National League,
n q w City Hall.
Saturday Evening, May 10th,
at7io'clock,
Galleries reserved for Ladies. The Public are in
yited.
Per order.


1t lis hardly necessary to call attention to the
lecture on the war, at City Hall this evening,
by Mr.. c. C. Coffin, the army correspondent
of the Boston Journal, who unquestionably
stands at the head of his profession in New
England We are all anxious to hear report
on the conduct of the war from one who has
seen so much of it-and so well.
Mr.. Collins health is at present infirm-a
circumstance which accounts for the recep
ton Of his recent reports from Washington
and New York, where he had access to the
unpublished correspondence of the leading
newspapers, and not from the field. The state
of his health did not however detract from the
interest of his lecture in Boston, Thursday
evening. From the published reports We learn,
that his lecture on that occasion consisted Of
series of sketches of the great actions Of
the war, at Fort Donelson, at Antietam and
elsewhere, followed by an elaborate review Of
the present situation. The lecturer presented
with great force the consideration, that with
numbers and wealth land he might have add
ed, justice) on our side, the result of the war
is only question of time. 1t may be hard to
say ,chen, but not hoto the war will end.

ANECDoTE OF SToNEwALL JACKsoN.-The
papers are rehashng the old anecdotes of
Stonewall Jackson. We have one which is
new and we believe authentic, illustrating his
contempt for towards and doughfaces When
one of the corps of the Army of the Potomac
was moving forward to join Gen. Burnside at
the battle of Fredericksburg, an officer in one
of the regiments, a Democratic Southern SYM
pathizer, fell out within sound of the guns of
the enemy, and was made prisoner He was
taken to the headquarters of Stonewall Jack
son, who, learning Of his cowardly conduct
and Southern sympathes, ordered his shoulder
straps to be stripped off, and that he be sent
back within the Union lines, remarking that
he should be 10th to believe that the Union ar
my had many such officers. jackson was him
self an earnest and brave man, and naturally
had a contempt for shams and sneaks.-l Bos-

To the Editor Of the Press

To the Editor OF the Press:
SIR,-A little paragraph in your paper this
morning in regard TO young Priest, puts me in
the wrong place. He was not taken care OF
at my expense. | am only the hand to execute
the wish Of the peoples heart. have been
made the deposi;ary Of a little money to meet
such cases of distress, and if it is used with
frugality and discretion it viii do great deal
of good.
One Of the pleasantest things in my life, is
the placing in my hands by the children of
the city, handsome sums of money for the re-
lief of our men returning from the war. l
wish to assure every little girl who has
wrought with her fingers, and every boy who
has run an errand, to promote the success ola
fair, that esteem it a great honor which they
have conferred on me, to make me disposer of
their goodness.
Then when you hear Of a soldier, sick or
shattered, falling into good hands, where wine
and oil abound, know that did not do it, but
served the good both small and great.
