Letter from Augusta.
AUGUSTA, March 10. 1868.

1htopSlAs MAJ vi 10, lCDOs
The annual session of the Legislature evil
IDENTIFY draws toward close, and two sessions
day are held. Yesterday the National Re-
solves came up in the Senate by assignment,
and Mr.. Wiggin, of York, commenced a
speech adverse to their passage. Not more
than two thirds of the members remained in
their seats, and the chamber was graced with
but few neutrality-suspicious. half of them la
dies. Mr.. Virgins eloquence was expended,
evidently, upon an unappreciative audience.
1t was not so much his fault as the fault of his
subject. Mr.. Wiggin is really good looking
man-perhaps he would be called handsome
mainland his voice is pleasant, aud he speaks
not without power, but still evidently felt the
pressure of an uphill labor. 1t was the old
story, faultfnding and complaining, In utterly
dolorous accents, because men who are con-
stantly finding fault with the Government, and
with the policy of the war, are not believ-
ed by loyal men to be in earnest in their pro-
fessions of devotion to the government, and
are not received into that cordial communion
which can exist only where there is heartfelt
the keenest members of the Senate, took copi-
Gus notes Of Mr.. Virgins remarks, and will
probably follow him in few days. He will
also reply to what little there was left of f.
o. J. Smith by your Mr.. Kingsbury, at the
same time. Permit me to say, however, that
he will have little labor in that direction, for
Smith was whitfield down by Kingsbury till
he appeared very much like the "little end of
nothing"
In the House quite sparring match came
off on the question OF conditional grant of
land to the Maine State Seminary, in which
Messrs. Blake of Bangor, Gunnison of Scar
boro, Crosby of Dexter, and others participant
ed. Mr.. Gunnison was the foremost man, APP
parently, in favor of the grant, and he put his
arguments with much force, and with great
felicity of expression.
Mr.. Gunnison is a yonng man, a leader Of
the opposition politically, but he commands
the full attention of the House, and his re-
marks upon the Importance of fostering edu-
cation-the education Of the common people
and his emphatic compliment to New England,
anu w hSi iosdity UetuuSc VI
education, and his equally emphatic declara-
ton that, but for the ignorance Of the masses
of the South there would to-day be no rebel
lion, did not fail TO elicit applause, not only
from the lobbies, but from the body Of the
House. If Mr.. Gunnison never wanders
farther from the truth than he did in his brief
speeches on the occasion referred 10, he will
do honor 10 his constituents.
The Agricultural College question is one Of
the questions before the Legislature. Great
effort is being made TO connect it with Water
vile College; but this is opposed by Bowdoin
College influence, and, it is said, by the farm
ing interests. Prof Smyth represents Bow
doin, and he contends that the college should
be kept independent of any existing institu-
ton. XERxEs.

Dissolving views OF the copperheads.

We are permitted to publish the following
extract from letter recently received in this
city, from member OF the 10th Maine regi-
ment, now encamped near Stafford Court
House, Virginia:
wish l was good writer; would send
letter to some newspaper. 1t makes me
mad, when think of the cowardly, sneaking
set at the North, trying to encourage the reb-
els all they can. One way is, by saying that
our army is demoralized. l tell yon, there is
not word OF truth in these statements, as
far as know; and L think have almost as
good chance to know, as some of those cow
ards at home. The men never felt better, nor
more ready to give the rebels what they de-
serve; and, when fighting Joe starts, look out !!
for, as he says, the Army of the Potomac has
never yet fought battle-we have fought by
squads.
The great topic of the day in the camp of
the 10th Maine, is going to the rear. II Is
pretty confidently asserted, that we shall not
remain another week on this ground. l would
like well enough to get where l could see
some signs of civilization. This Is no place
at all. Stafford Court House consists of the
said court house, now used as commissary
store house, a Jail, post-office, two barns and
four houses all used by Government. If
Gen. Hooker gives battle before our time ex-
pres, anu L thiUk lie VIII, huu IuOSt likely
good many miles nearer Richmond, then /
would like to stop and see the fun. 1t will
not be much fun to great many brave fell
lows; but it Is of no use making words about
it-some of us must die, before this internal
rebellion is put down, and down it must go!
Apropos, a friend sends us a slip from
California journal, containing the following
passage from late speech by the Hon. WIN.
II. Weeks, formerly of Maine, now Secretary
of State In California:

COURT MARTIAL.-Yesterday the case of
Eben NJ. Field of Windham was concluded.
The counsel for defense offered his argument
in writing, followed by a powerful oral argu-
ment by John Neal, Esq, for the Government.
The Judge Advocate then, in the absence of
the defendants counsel, made few remarks
in behalf of the prisoner, in which he alluded
to the unpatriotic state of feeling in a town
not more than an hours ride from Portland,
which could harbor a deserter from the army
of the Union for the space of six or seven
months, in severe terms. After this case was
disposed of, that of Alonzo Spaulding was
taken up, for carrying liquor into the regi-
mental hospital and giving it to patient, and
for drunkenness on guard at Camp Abraham
Lincoln. He pleaded guilty on the first charge
and specification, and the Government could
not make out its case on the other charges and
specifications.
This is probably to be the last case to come
before the court.

Gym Smith OF Westbrook, seems to have
been extremely unfortunate in the choice of
language in his recent seven hours speech
The republicans have been accused of misrep-
resenting him, and now we find his employees
taking the Chicago Times-a paper of his own
stripe, copperhead all over-to task for misun-
Outstanding him. The Times understood Mr..
Smith to desire the disruption of the Union
that Maine may become an adjunct Of Canada.
II the Times had understood Mr.. Smith to de-
sire disruption that Canada may become an
adjunct of Maine, perhaps it would not be
charged with misunderstanding.
