in closer business and railroad connection with
the country? The dons, while holding on to
their pockets till their golden eagles screech
with very pain,prudently refusing to expend a
dollar to take advantage Of the business that
is knocking for admittance at their doors,
tauntingly inquire, "where is the prosperity
you promised? and where is the clamorous
demand for spare lots, at high prices, on which
your new-fangled improvements have already
increased our taxes?" This is prudence.
Keep the eggs all in one basket, and then

neither time nor inclination to follow up the
subject, nor have you the space to spare if l
should. Bath, like many other places, under
the specious pretence of prudence, is borne
down by the nightmare of great wealth accu-
INFLATED around small souls. She has her no
Bile spirits, but they labor against tide that
kills out courage. She has her men of large
substance who will never benefit the world so
much as when they give their bodies to the
grave-digger and leave their half millions to
be distributed by posterity who will be slow
to keep what they have so carefully boarded.
And yet Bath is one of the best places, in
many respects,to be found out-ofdoors. Aside
from her logged adherence to a single line of
business persistence which too often drives
brains from the town and her conservatism
which, forgetting that God lives and the world
moves, looks to slave-grown cotton as the
source of all material wealth = aside from
these things, l say, Bath has a glorious popu-
lation, and her ladies-famed the State over for
their beauty and grace-by their angel wings
may yet lift her from the keel upon which she
has settled, and launch her upon sea of pro-
gress and prosperity, that shall give up no
more of the dead, but from whose profound
depths the industrious, enterprising diver may
bring up the pearls that shall adorn the city,
and make it like one on hill, whose glory
cannot be concealed OP.Q.

lB- The Dramatic company now perform
ing at Deering Hall, under the auspices of Mr..
j. c. Myers, is really one of the best that has
ever visited our city. Mr.. Langdon and his
talented lady formerly Miss Anna Senter) are
stars of no mean magnitude. They performed
the parts of Claude Melnotte and Pauline, on
Monday evening, in the most graceful and eff
lective style, and were both enthusiastically
applauded. The gentleman who represented
the Irish character in the closing farce of the
same evening, cannot be excelled The audi
ence loudly applauded Mr.. Myers when he re-
buked a rowdy demonstration in the gallery,
and assured them that ladies and gentlemen
need not fear being offended by any such
manifestations in future. He is determined
that a series of entertainments shall be given
worthy the attention of the friends of the
Drama in this city. Such persons will see
that he does not make the effort in vain. We
have deemed this notice appropriate, inasmuch
as Mr.. Myers exhibitions are far above those
ordinarily brought out by travelling compan-

In the New York Tribunes list of casual
ties in the recent battles on the Rappahaunock
occurs the name of w. L. Ingraham, son OF
Mr.. George I. Ingraham of this city. Mr..
Ingraham was a practical printer, and in the
exercise of his trade removed some time since
to Rochester, New York. He afterwards
studied law, and was admitted to practice
about two years ago. Last summer he enlist
ed as private in the SD New York regi-
ment. lie had received assurances of early
promotion. We have not learned what rank
he held at the time of his death.
Mr.. Ingraham was still young. Possessed
of a blameless character and enjoying the re-
spect and confidence of all who knew him, his
future seemed to promise prosperity and hon
or. Honor he has achieved thus early = it is
sweet and honorable to die for ones country.
He leaves a wife and one child in Rochester.
Two communities unite in sympathy for the
heavy aflliction, which has befallen them and

"Maine," says Governor Coburn, "has more
''reason to be proud Of her troops in the field,
'than Of everything else" Our correspond
ents in Towards corps, which crossed at
Kelly's ford, in Sickles corps, which crossed
at United States ford, and in Sedgwicks which
crossed below Fredericksburg, have shown
how simply true are the Governors words.
Wherever the fighting was most obstinate, on
the extreme right where Jackson appeared, in
the very front whence Sickle sEfought his way

heights of Fredericksburg, our troops have
been heard from The detailed accounts of
their operations furnished by our correspon-

anna of the campaign for all the salient fea-
lures of the campaign are exhibited in the
operations of these three corps. 1t is re-
cord well worth preserving, record of which
the State may be justly proud.
