ask what can be done with it? Mr.. Lynch
will doubtless to-day intimate to the farmers
what Nigh t be done with it. Appropriate it
for the purposes of an Agricultural College,
for which it is admirably fitted, while the for
ty acres of land surrounding it would work in
admirably as the nucleus Of an experimental
and model farm. Thus,-Portland supplying
buildings free for government purposes, with
accommodations fifty per cent better than ev-
er had here,--the State could avail itself OF the
liberal and muniflcent endowment OF an Ag-
rcultural College by the General Govern
ment, without dollars expense, and retain
the control OF such an institution in its own
hands, and create college without State ex-
pense which the Farmers and Mechanics of
Maine forever might look upon as their in
stitution-a proud monument of national gen.
crosby, intended to honor and dignity two
of the noblest callings which ever engaged the
attention of man. But enough of this for the
present.
When Mr.. Lynch suspended his remarks on
the removal question-which will come up to-
day, when he will proceed-Mr. Farwell in
formed the House that Gen. o. o. HOWARD,
was in the Governors room, and proposed to
invite Gen. II. to visit the House and receive
the congratulations of the members. The ar
rangement was carried out. When Gen.
Howard came in, attended by Gov. Cony and
suite and the members of the Council, and he
was introduced to the convention by Mr.. Bar
rows, President of the Senate, round after
round of applause made the arches ring and
the alcoves give back their echoes. Gen.
Howard addressed the convention for fifteen
minutes in the most encouraging and felici-
tous strain, and was frequently interrupted
by applause. When he closed, recess of half
an-hour was taken during which time all pres
ent, gentlemen and ladies, crowded up and
grasped the General by the hand, as Mr.. Sem
ator Spring said in making the motion for re-
cess, "not the right hand, which he had given
to his Country, but the left hand, which was
nearest his heart"
After the Convention came to order, on mo-
ton of Mr.. Spring of Cumberland, Lewis
Barker, Esq, of Stetson, was called upon to
recite the beautiful little poem entitled "7he
Empty Sleeve" which he did with electric
effect, after briefly stating the circumstances
under which it was written. Gen. Howard, 1t
seems, made speech last fall in Bangor to
thousands, on moon-lit evening. While
speaking his vacant sleeve became unpinned
from his breast and futtered in the breeze.
David Barker, Esq.,-brother OF Lewis-was
present, and the circumstances inspired him
to write this little gem, which was done upon
the spot, with thejintention of reading it when
the General closed, but an alarm of fire de-
feated his purpose. 1t got into the papers,
however, and has been published in the col
umns of the Press. The recitation by Mr..
Barker was perfectly electric, and was fol-
lowed by cheers and applause of the most en-
thusiastic character. SPuRwIyK.

DIR. VERSIONS REPoRT.-The very able re-
port of DR.. Weston of Bangor, to the Board
of Agriculture, on the Influence of Manu-
factures on Agriculture" deserves an extern
sive circulation. He demonstrates that the
former narrow-minded policy Of our legisla-
tors has excluded millions from being invested
in our State. But now "more far-sighted
policy is developing the wealth and prosper
ity Of our fourshing State. We commend
this important document to our citizens, and
we trust our present Legislature will sustain
the resolve appended to this report, which is
as follows:
Resoired, That we recommend to the Legislature
the adoption of such measures in their judgment
mey most cfectually encourage the prosecution Of
all branches of industry, and especially the estab-
lishment of manufactures Of every sort. for which
we have sufficient water power and other natural
advantages.

Rev. ROBERT CoLLYEB. - This distin-
guished speaker gave the second Of the Par
ker Fraternity Course of Lectures at Music
Hall, Boston, on Tuesday evening. The
Journal says the lecturer was applauded with
great liberaity, and the audience was as large
as on any former occasion. His subject was the
encouragement Of the present War" He
enumerated the great historic periods in
American history-the landing of the Pill
grims; the formation of the Constitution; the
period OF Jefferson and Adams, who, said the
lecturer, were beautiful in their lives and in
death were not divided" the Declaration OF
Independence, and the Proclamation OF
Emancipation-referrin to the contempora-
neous history Of each with singular force,
and in a manner such as to command loud APP
plause. One striking passage among many
others made during the address was a COM
parison of some of our public men to various
metals, speaking of "men OF iron and steel
like Grant and Butler; men of lead and
pinchback, like Fitz John Porter and Nc.
Celan; men of a new and namcless metal
but of undoubted value, like Meade men OF
gold in process of publication, like Lincol n
and of pure and unalloyed gold, like Shaw
and Winthrop, and host Of others within the
vale"
Mr.. Colyer gives the Sixth of the Inde-
pendent Course of Lectures at the New City
Hall this evening.

KENNEBUNKPORT, FEB. z, 1864.
To the Editor Of the Press
The following named ships sailed from this
place in the years below indicated, and after
being in constant service since, are all be-
lieved to be now alive:
Ship Gen. Pike, built in 1921, 3l3 tons.
Ship Constitution, built in 1923, 2s6 tons.
Ship Eagle, built in 1925, 2S3 tons, making
them respectively, 43, Al and 80 years old.
These ships were all built for Gen. Simon
NOVEL; Of this town, now resident in Bangor,
and, like his ships, is in good condition after
long life-timey being now in fair health and
strength at the good old age Of "a IL years.
When built, these vessels were considered
wonders for size, as we'll as for the thorough
manner in which they were constructed; the
General Pike in particular, being built entire
ly of selected white oak. The first passage Of
this ship was made to Charleston. S. c., in
charge Of Capt. Robert Towne, now living in
this place, and was consigned to the then
well-known house of Leland & Bro. We
think Mr.. Joseph Leland is now living at
Grafton Mass, and it is suggested that par
aliel instance cannot be found IN New Eng
land, where ship is no~ at sea, 43 years old,
phose first o,cner, first master and first con-
signee are all Hring.
The Constitution was first commanded by
Capt. Abner Stone, recently deceased; and
the first master of the Eagle, was Capt. Thorn
as Novel;, now resident of this town. These
ships have for many years been owned in New
Bedford and vicinity, and are employed in the
whale fishery. The next instance of longevity
of vessels built at this port, is the Bark VEN
ICE, now 35 years old, which sailed from here
in January 1885 in charge of Capt. Dauphin
King; this vessel was built by the late Geo.
W. Bourne of Kennebunkport for Boston
firm, is 354 tons and has recently been sold to
a foreign house for 10000 rupees.

IN Espedifion against Mobile Preparing.
New YORK, Feb. 2.
The Worlds New Orleans letter of the 10Th
has report OF an unimportant rebel dash into
Baton Rouge.
Gen. Banks continued to send troops over
d,ake Ponchartrain as fast as they came In
from the Teche.
Report says the jacksonville expedition is
to operate against Mobile.
The Herald's letter says troops are being
hurried over the lake to Madisonville. All
parties agree that Mobile is to be attacked by
land and water.
