10 The Augusta Age must be sadly af-
flicted with loss of memory, or suppose its
readers to be. ItNsays, Everybody knows
that it is the radical change of the war policy
of the Administration" that has interrupted
the unity OF the North in favor of vigorous
prosecution Of the war. That change of pol
Icy was Swallowed forth first in the Presidents
preliminary proclamation of emancipation, in
September, and three months before that the
Age was sighting the copperheads, and flying
the name of the gallant Jameson at its column
head. Why did the Age fight those Demo-
Gratis who, according to its own theory, were
united to a wonderful degree in favor of a
vigorous prosecution of the warp" Did the
emancipation proclamation induce the Dana
movement of last year, or the infamous reso-
buttons of the convention that nominated Bion
Bradbury, or the speech of Gen. Anderson on
that occasion? The idea that the reasonable
course of the opposition is the result of the
emancipation policy, is equalled in falsity and
Jolly only by the idea that the rebellion is not
the result Of slavery.

THE LEcTURE.-The last lecture of the NJ.
L. A. course, last evening, by Wendell Phil
lips, Esq, drew one of the largest kind of au-
diences, and the eloquent speaker was proba-
bly, never listened to with more fixed and per-
sistent attention. 1t was the first time we had
heard Mr.. p, and we confess to no small de-
gree Of disappointment. He is eminently
practical, and deals but little in flowers of
rhetoric or mere drapcry; exactly the reverse
of our expectations. Mr.. Phillips Is enthusi-
astic, has doubtless great faith in the Right,
and believing in free speech, he evidently in
tends to enjoy that right whether il may or
may not accord with the sentiment of his au-
dience. He said a great many things that
called forth the most enthusiastic applause,
while there were probably very few present
who would not dissent from some of his posi-
tons or his remarks.
His subject, The Future of the War;" led
him into the same general train Of remark
which has been quite fully reported In the
Boston and New York papers. The war is
one of ideas; an old quarrel in new form;
and having been continued for seventy years
In a constitutional way, by argument, is now
to be decided by force; and till one of these
antagonistic ideas strangles the other, there
can be no real or lasting peace.
The alarm Of frc near the close Of the lee
ture was exceedingly embarrassing to the
speaker and annoying to the audience, and
probably served somewhat to abridge the
length of the elegant entertainment.
The Association have reason to be satisfied
with the success Of the course OF which this
was the conclusion, and the public have rea-
son 70 be grateful for the magnificent intellec-
tuai repasts which have SO regularly been
served up for them.

RESIGNATION OF JUDGE Fox.-Hon. Ed
ward Fox has resigned the position of Judge
Of the Supreme Judicial Court, to which he
was appointed last fall, and which he has so
acceptabIy filed.
Though Judge Fox has given no public rea-
sons for his resignation Of the Office, which
was conferred upon him unsought, 1t has not
excited great deal Of surprise. His business
at the Bar was worth far more than the emol-
uments of Judge, and the duties were far
more pleasant. The duties of our Judges of
the Supreme Court are arduous, and the pay
Is small, however great the honor may be.
We have heard but one man mentioned in
this quarter as the successor to Judge Fox, and
that Is Hon. w. G. Barrows, Judge Of Probate
for this county. He will have the unanimous
voice Of the Cumberland Bar to exalt him to
that station.

master brought out his favorite instrument and
played an accompaniment to one of the airs of
an organ grinder. The dog wasin extaces or
