Hon. Jtferson Davis -
My Dear Sir: You cannot possibly imagine the very
great happness which your letter gave me- both On &C
count of the assurance of your continued friendship and
the hoeu tone which pervaded it in relation to our
public affairs.
Both of these facts are fully confirmed by my friend
Dr. Girard, who speaks of your kindness to him in the
most enthusiastic TERMS and he has relieved my appre
tensions that like first great leader Calhoun your
body might prove unequal to the burden your spirit
imposes upon it.
For the sake of the cause as we'll for the sake of
those that love you it is essential that you should not
overtask your strength for every day has convinced me
more and moIe that We have no Joshua to take your

CITY and Town Elections,

RocKLAND.-In this city says the Democrat
"the copperheads were confident of success,
and labored for ii too. They were the first to
call a caucus, and their candidate for Mayor
accepted the nomination with the pledge that
he should be elected" 1t was of no avail.
The Republicans and Union men were not
dismayed at the boasts of their opponents.
With more than 500 loyal men in the service
OF their country, there were still enough loyal
men left to whip the rebels at home. Mr..
Wiggin, the Republican candidate for Mayor,
was elected by 2lS majority. and the Republic
cans carried. clean, six out of seven of the
wards. Well done Rockland.
NEwBURG.-Here the Republicans elected
their ticket, taking one Union Democrat for
Selectman.
ABBoT.-The entire Republican ticket was
elected
CAsTINE.-The Democrats called caucus
in this town, inviting the attendance of "all
opposed to abolitionsm." The unconditional
Union men and supporters of the war, held
caucus, made their nominations and elected
them. The Democrats have had the town for
two years past.
BUCKsPoRT.- Republican throughout, by a
vote of more than two TO one.
Thorndike, Jackson, Monroe and Brooks, In
Waldo County, according TO a correspondent
OF the Bangor Wing, have all elected Republic
can town officers by good majorities.
In Gardiner, James NASH Esq, was elected
Mayor without opposition, and the Republicans
carried their entire ticket.

Letter from the State Capital.

AUGUSTA, March 5, 1858.
To the Editors Of the Press:
The Governors Levee last evening was a
magnificent affair. The old State House was
literally filed with his friends from all parts of
the State, and every body seemed to enjoy the
occasion as well as it is possible to enjoy ones
self in such crowd. The Governor received
his friends in his private room adjoining the
Council Chamber, his sister doing the honors
of the occasion. The rotunda was beautifully
decorated with flags, evergreens and pictures,
under the direction of j. ii. Cochran, ESQ.,, of
the Secretary's department, and did great
credit to his skill and taste. This was the
ball room, and during the first part of the
evening it was so iensely crowded that prom
enadng was simply elbowing ones way
through the living mass, and dancing was not
a very agreeable operation. The Senate Cham
Der was the supper-room. OF this part Of the
entertainment l can only speak from hearsay.
was refused the privilege of looking in be-
fore the time appointed for feeding the multi
tude, and when the doors were opened it be-
came impossible to get near enough to look
even. 1t is said, however, by those who were
so fortunate as TO obtain glimpse of the good
things, that the entertainment was very cred
liable, both in quality and quantity. am not
fault-finder, but must be allowed to say,
that this part of the programme was managed
badly. Whoever expected half dozen indie
pendent walters could serve such a crowd
satisfactorily, was wofully disappointed. The
result of such foolish arrangement was, that
when the doors were opened, the area outside
the outer table, which was not spread. was
filed by small portion Of the hungry crowd,
who remained comfortably filling themselves,
as they were waited upon by the few walters
inside, and apparently enjoyed themselves,
while the large majority outside looked on
with hungry eyes but couldn't see it, Hun
dreds left without being able to get served at
all. l understand that table was beautifully
spread for the especial accommodation of the
editors and reporters, in the Office of Supern-
tendent Of Common Schools, but | was not
aware of that interesting fact until atterpards,
when 1 had the privilege Of viewing the re-
mains. With this exception, everything pass
ed Off well, and the guests were well pleased
with the affair, and separated at late hour.
My opinion is, however, that large parties are
great bores generally, and are attended be-
cause they are fashionable.
l suppose your lady readers would like to
have long description of the personnel Of
this affair, with notices of the many beautiful
ladies, an elaborate description of their mag
niiicent costumes, but hope they will excuse
me. Time and space would tail Inc were 1 to
undertake it, besides, / am a mere novice in
such matters, and my powers of description
would not be adequate to the task.

makes quite splurge because, as it says, office
holders in New Hampshire contribute five per
cent. of their salaries to prevent the State from
falling under the dominion of traitors. They
are to be commended for their selfsacrificing
patriotism. Does the paper referred TO mean
to intimate that democratic Office holders have
not been Systematically taxed for party sup
port? Dare it assert any such thing? The
editor Of that paper knocs that under Buchan-
an, Office holders, aud even the lowest priced
clerks in the Department, were compelled to

rg The N. Y. World reports a new stage
dodge. Last Wednesday gentleman named
Jas. A. Timson took seat in a stage to go
down town. He handed a fifty cent postal
currency to the driver, who shortly handed
back forty cents in currency and four pennies.
A passenger named McLougin reached up and
took the money, rolled it up and put it in his
pants pocket. Mr.. Timson supposing he had
also rendered a fifty cent currency for fare
waited patiently for another forty-four cents.
As it did not come, he demanded it of the
driver, when the fraud was al once discovered.
| Upon being arrested the prisoner denied hay

was found on him, and he was committed in
| default Of $500 bail.
