State VS.. Moore.

The Biddeford Journal, at some considerable
trouble and expense prepared a full report of
the trial OF Luther s. Moore, of Limerick, for
forgery, which trial took place in Saco week
or two since, but by the request of the Judge
it was not published. The Journal says the
Portland Argus and Advertiser have each re-
ferred to the trial several times with the in
tention Of and in such way as to prejudice
the minds of their readers in the belief that
Mr.. Moore is an honest and prosecuted man
and that Mr.. Mason is alone the criminal.
This circumstance could be overlooked says
the journal, since both papers have a very
moderate circulation in this county from
whence jurors are to be drawn; but last week
the Saco Democrat published an extended
Court Record OF the case, and its "leader" is
devoted entirely to a one sided view of it
by no means justified by the evidence pro-
duced, and containing an unjusliflable and I'M
called for attack upon the jurors who did not
vote Mr.. Moore innocent.
The Journal will now feel relieved of all
obligation to suppress the publication of the
facts as they were brought out upon the trial
on which five men based their belief, beyond
a reasonable doubt, that the name of Mason
had been used upon Moore's notes without
the knowledge or consent of said Mason.

New YORK, Feb. @.
News from Memphis of the 10Th ult. says
Corinth was evacuated on Monday last and
everything of value brought to Memphis
The Memphis and Charleston Railroad will be
evacuated from Lagrange to Memphis to-
night.
The force that has been holding Corinth
and the road between that place and Memphis,
was concentrated at Memphis, and the entire
infantry and artillery have gone, under Gen.
Hurburt, upon boats down the river.
This expedition Is splendidly equipped and
in numbers that will make the rebels tremble
wherever they may go. The whole 10th corps
is in this expedition and more too. The troops
are now well on their way to their destination,
which is not as yet to be divulged.
great cavalry expedition has also been or
ganized under Brig. Gen. w. l.. Smith, chief of
Gen. Grants cavalry, which will soon be heard
from. This expedition will make an extensive
raid into Alabama, Mississippi and Georgia.
Gen. Grierson accompanies the expedition.
The force is large and well appointed, and it
is expected that they will make terrible havoc
along the railroads, bridges, &c.

To the Editor Of the PresC
We are quite sure that If your readers were
aware of the fund OF amusement and instruct
ion to be derived from a visit to the New
Gymnasium, so modestly and quietly at work
among US for the great end of physical culture,
that its hall would be crowded every week with
admiring spectators. Its founder, gentle
man Of education and refinement, having had
no recourse to the clap-trap means often re-
sorted to for bringing his profession before
the public, is but yet partially known to our
people-while the system he teaches is per-
haps less familiar except by theory, Mr..
Bradford is pupil of DIR. Lewis Of Boston,
whose paper upon "The New Gymnastics" in
the Atlantic for August 1862, many will re-
member. For this system its founder claims
that by its thorough practice every voluntary
muscle in the body is equally exercised. BY
the Doctors training Mr.. b. was restored to
health, and is doing whatever his hands find
to do towards establishing this greatest of
blessings in all placing themselves under his
guidance.
For the benefit of those who are as igno-
teaching, we present few data of the exer-
else OF two evenings recently spent there
The class form on the floor much as for the
bayonet exercse-in straight lines, with about
three feet square to each person. The move
ments are all performed to music, in regular
order, and without prompting. They are of
the hands, arms, head, body, limbs and feet,
separately and combined, and accompanied
with variety of apparatus-as for instance,
dumb.bells, rings, wands, bean-bags and SO on,
forming variety as pleasing as the dance and
far more exhilerating. The positions in many
of them are fit studies for the painter or
sculptor and are full of grace One is strong
ly reminded by others, Of the feats of strength
of the famous Oympian games, while during
the remainder the preservation of the centre
of gravity becomes matter of painful appre-
hension. Marching, double-quick, and deci-
ded approach to dancing, vary and relieve the
performances. Ladies and gentlemen unite
in the same class and training, with, for the
former, as the feminine portion of your read
ers may like to know, no necessary change Of
dress-although one especially adapted for
the purpose is highly desirable.
| As invitations to become spectators are full
and free both from the pupils and their teach
er, il is hoped that on class nights, which are
Mondays and Fridays, the encouragement of
presence and interest, il nothing further, may
be given those who are laboring so diligently
| for our physical elevation. A LADY.

Letter from England.
PORTLAND, Feb. 4th, 1854.

PORTLAND, Feb. 4th, 1864.
To the Editor of the PresG
The enclosed is portion Of a letter re-
ceived by last English steamer from brother
connected with one Of the leading Banks Of
England. As his position qualities him to
form correct judgment Of public opinion in
that country upon the American contest, l
trust you will deem it worthy Of insertion in
your valuable paper. Yours resp'y,
WA.
mo doubt you learn from many sources the
state of opinion in this country upon the
American question. To state it briefly and
honestly / think it is this: That Englishmen
are convinced that the cause of the South is
hopeless; and there is also growing convic-
tion among that large party who have sympa-
thized with the South, that their cause is I'M
just and immoral You know that have all
along been an ardent friend of the North. l
never lost firth in its cause or in the issue !;
but l confess l have been surprised by the
change of public opinion, it is SO marked. In
the beginning of July the Confederate cotton
loan (which is at par at 90) was quoted at 5
premium. Then came the surrender of Vicks-
burg, the series of defeats to the "Confeds" in
Pennsylvania, the fall OF Port Hudson, &c.
The cotton loan fell, and fell as never knew
anything else to fall. 1t is now quoted at IS
to 40-that is so. or 81 discount-and ranks
entirely as speculation venture. No doubt
the South can and will yet do much harm,
but its power is broken. God be thanked for
IT, President Lincoln may be no great schol-
ar, but he has proved himself wise, honest,
humane statesman. His difficulties have been
many and very great; but he has done nobly,
and deserves well of his country"

THE CHEsAPEAKE,-A Halifax cores
pondent of the St. John Daily Globe, says
the opinion that the steamer Chesapeake will
be given up to her owners, at an early day, is
fast gaining ground here amongst all who in
terest themselves in the matter. Her cargo
which is represented tobc worth about S40,-
GOO was landed in day and a hall, and is
now under lock and key in Bonded Ware
house; much of it appears to be in rather
damaged condition, and some of the casks of
wine which were said TO be full at their ship
ment, are now said to be minus half their con-
were not mindful of the principles of the or
der of Sons of Temperance. Nearly all the
goods which were peddled by these adven-
turers to the Dutchmen of Lunenburg, have
been recovered by the untring exertions of
our Revenue officers. These gentlemen tell
amusing incidents connected with their SER
vice, while securing the propertyin that place
The poor Dutchmen tried all manner of dodg-
es to secrete their easily gotten treasures from
the claws Of the law, and were in some cases
successful.
Much anxiety was manifested by no small
number of citizens to learn the news by the
last steamer from England, as it was thought
that something definite concerning the future
action to be taken in the affair might be made
known, and what view the Home Govern
ment took ofthe matter. But great was the
disappointment when it was known that
hardly any mention was made of the matter,
even by the press.

The Removal Question Settled.

Those who have read the legislative pro-
ceedings viii have noticed that the resolve for
moving the seat Of government was indefinite
ly postponed on Friday last, in the House, by
a vote Of 6S to GO. We are by no means dis
appointed From the start we were one VINO
lacked confidence in the success OF the meas
ure, not because of its lack OF merit, out De-
cause of the superior tact as managing and
wire-pulling politicians, of those who took the
lead IN opposing the resolution. We would
have attached to the resolve provision for
submission to the people, at an early day, say
as early as the first Monday in June, before
party or even political programmes could be
made up making the vitality of the resolve, il
passed, dependant upon such vote of the
people. We would have done so, for two rea-
sons at least; first, because if the people are
opposed to the removal, as citizen OF Port
land we should not wish to see the capital
brought here; and, second, if the people de-
termine the removal question, no legislature
would attempt to override their decision.
The friends of the resolve just indefinitely
postponed, reckoned upon 65 adverse votes,
and s. in favor or doubtful, with one - Mr.
Smith of Westbrook-absent. Their reckon
ing seems to have been carefully made SO far
as the liked opposition was concerned, but
they did not, perhaps, make sufficient allow
ance for the influences that would be used TO
head off the removal measure. We know the
fact that several of the most influential men
of the house who either voted for indefinite
postponement or did not vote at all, were very
soicitous for provision to refer the question
to the people, and would have given the re-
solve so amended their hearty support, so that
we have no doubt of its success had it been
SO amended. Having passed it in that form
we should have cheerfully awaited the result,
for the reasons already suggested.
Different councils prevailed, and the result
is known, but we do not understand that Cum
bertrand and other western counties propose
TO divide the State or to secede from its au-
thority, nor do we think they have any idea
OF throwing a iire-brand into the next cleo
ton, or that, because they did not succeed, or
because the capital is retained at Augusta,
they propose to throw the State into the con-
troll Of those who refuse TO uphold the Gov
ernment in its struggle with rebellion.

Governing the Horse.

Mr. Magner gave an exhibition to the ladies',
Saturday afternoon, at Robinson's Riding
Academy, of his method of governing and
controlling horses. There was large audi
ence present, and much interest was manifest
ed by the fair sex at the proceedings of Mr..
NJ in subduing horses. He first put his own
horse through, and then tried his power over
others, in all of which he was successful.
The system of Mr.. Wagner differs from that
of Rarey in this-he controls the horse with
kindness; does not subbue him with the whip,
but makes the animal to feel that stronger
power is governing him. He rewards the an
imal with caresses and kindness when he
obeys, and thus the confidence of the beast is
gained, and he submits quietly to anything his
master wishes him to do. Probably nine
tenths Of the persons who have witnessed the
exhibitions of Mr.. Magner did not believe, be-
fore they saw the thing done, that such power
over horse was to be obtained, or such an
unruly animal subdued, by process in which
the whip is not made use Of 1t is certainly
the most humane way of breaking horse
that has ever been introduced to the attention
of the public.
Among those who have attended the exhibit
tons of Mr. NJ. in this place, and who have
expressed their pleasure thereat, we noticed
many Of our first horsemen, including some of
our prominent citizens, such as DR.. Ludwig,
VIM. Chase, Esq, Charles Adams, Esq, and
many others, all Of whom take pleasure in a
noble horse.
Mr.. M. is young man, but his experience
is that of one who fully understands his SUBJ
ject. The success he has met with in the
country towns he has visited, coupled with
that in this city, is a sure precursor of a fame
which will extend further than the limits of a
single State. Every one who attends his ex-
hibitions or joins his class exclaims, that his
power over a horse is wonderful.
Saturday evening Mr.. NJ. addressed, by re-
quest, at Mechanics Hall, some of the owners
of horses, and some of our best horsemen, up
on the subject of controlling their steeds. His
remarks were very interesting, and replete
with valuable information.
At the request of many of our citizens, Mr..
NJ. will postpone some of his engagements for
the purpose OF forming a class in this city
The class will be formed this afternoon at
2 o'clock, at Rcbinsons Riding Academy in
South Street. All those who would learn how
to govern and subdue young or vicious horses,
should avail themselves Of this opportunity.
