,V-In our Legislative proceedings will
be found the passage of an act to ..incor-
poratc the Portland and Machias Steam
boat Company. 1t is expected that, as
early as possible fine steamer will be
placed on the route from Portland to Ma
chias. touching at Rockland Camden, Bel
fast, Castine, Ellsworth, Mt. Desert, &c.
This will be a great convenience to the
eastern and shore towns, and especially so
to Rockland, as bringing us into easy COM
munication with the railroads and with the
city of Portland, with which our trade has
been latterly increased.-Rock{and Ga
,ette.
What is being done by our citizens to
forward or facilitate this enterprise If
the company now applying for charter
shall propose to have their boat touch at
Ellsworth, at what point shall it make its
landings How much we need public
spirited capitalists to make Ellsworth take
the place her position entities her to as
sumo. We have entcrprising men Of linz
tied means, but no one has the time, or
the pccuniary ability, or the public spirit,
or the far seeing sagacity, to develop new
resources, or project new enterprises for
our present or future benefit, Who of our
professional men take an interest in educa
tional matters, and are striving to better
the community in which they live Who
of our merchants are looking beyond the
daily entries on their cash book. or care to
encourage any new enterprise promising
success to those now unknown to the bust
ness public
The railway scheme should be completed
this season. The proposed Town Hall
must he erected. Arrangement should be
perfected, so that our business men will
not have to ride score or two of miles in
the night time to reach Boston steamer.
We have abundant facilities for the sue
cessfull prosecution Of ship building, while
but little of this is done here. What him
dcrs but enterprise. We want more small
manufacturing enterprises built up-some-
thing that will not only furnish employment
to our own young men, but will in addition
to this, be the means of bringing into the
place many from the surrounding towns
Half dozen such business enterprises as
that of Levi b. Timer & Co., would be
worth, annually, thousands of dollars ia
Ellsworth and vicinity. There is such a
thing, in material sense, as Withholding
which tendeth to poverty.
Ellsworth American. [volume] (Ellsworth, Me.) 1855-current, 1864-02-05
A Town Hall,

A eapacious Town Hall is a public ne
cessty. There is hardly any one want of
our village, which so mnch demands in
slant measures for relief as this. We have
no convenient place for large gatherings
consequently when our people turn out en-
masse to attend a lecture. or at a public
assemblagc of any kind, scores have to go
away for want of seats. Those that do
attend have to run the risk of their health,
being .jammcd into an ill-ventillatcd Hall,
and they badly accommodated every way.
If our public spirited citizens will take
hold of this matter we can have conmo-
dious Hall before the Fall gatherings to
political lectures Let the intiatory pro-
ceedings be taken at once. Have public
meeting called and the sense of our citi-
zens on the matter he taken. A building
should be erected which will be an orna-
mcnt to the village, and at the same time
be so constructed as to be a source of profit.
4 lot should be secured at once. which
will be so near the centre of business that
the basement can be let for stores. Most
towns of the size of Ellsworth have Halls
of sufficient capacity to accommodate their
citizens. and why should ours be an ex-
ception Machias has large Town Hall,
one that is credit to it. The building
was built by one of its mechanics, and also
designed by him we believe. We may
equal or exceed such as have been built in
neighboring towns of equal size, and should
do it. If measures shall be taken to sup
ply this necessity of our people, we hope
that the first thing done, after securing n
lot, will be to procure a plan which will
secure to us the benefit of all the modern
improvements in Halls. Such building
should not only have sufficient capacity to
accommodate the public, but it should be
so constructed as to be easy to speak in,
easy of access, we'll located, and of fine
architectural proportions.
Who will move in this matter We
notice that the ladies of Calais have taken
an interest in the matter of securing a
City Hall for Calais, and they have already
obtained $1,000.
1t is an old saying that the morals of a
people can be Judged by its theatres, and
its taste by its public buildings. Tried by
this test we shall have no moral character
to boast of, and as little taste as the orig
inal inhabitants of the land

EXECUTIVE MANSION,

ashinSton, FEBRUARY Ist' IoO4.
Ordered, That draft of 100000 men,
to serve three years or during the war, be
made on the 10th day of March next, for
the military service of the United States
crcditing and deducting therefrom SO many
as have been enlisted or drafted in the SER
vice of the United States prior to the LIST
day of March, and not heretofore credited
(Signed) ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
This call may, or it may not, mean to
call for 100000 men in addition to what
has already been raised. We have 10 au-
thoratative exposition of its meaning at
this time. and the journals differ in opinion
upon the point. We do hope, however,
that it is for the largest number, if so many
men are necessary for the work in hand
1t will be the cheapest, and occasion less
loss of life. to put men enough in the field
10 put down the rebellion at once, than to
let it drag along for two or three years
more. A less number than this may suffice
for the work. If so, then all the better
But at any rate, let men enough be called
out at once to crush the rebellion.

WASHINGTON, ID. G..

In memory of James f. Tinker. a men,
Der of Company c. LIST Maine. Heavy
Artillery. Died Sept, 4th 1863, aged
20 years.
There is something peculiarly touching
in the death Of soldier.-onc who has
left the patcrnal roof with all its endear-
mcnts and comforts to experience the
hardships and privations of camp life
Such was the case with the deceased. At
the call of his country he left all, and
though not naturally of robust constitu-
ton. vet he feared not to hazard his life
if by any means he might aid in restoring
his country to its former grandurc. He
said that the aecursed rebellion must, and
felt that it would be crushed Yet he could
not rest content to see others offering their
lives in so Just cause without bringing
his offering-his life. As soldier he was
always prompt to duty-often performing
duty when actually unable, rather than
have another take his place. His conduct
was such as others would do well 10 initiate,
for unlike the many who are free from
home restraints, he ever maintained his
integrity, and lived above the grosscr vices
SO common in camp. He sought to elevate
his mind by choosing literature of higher
tone, and dcvoting his leisure moments to
study. In sickness he exhibited a patience
aud fortitude worthy a saint, and though
suffering extreme pain in his last hours,
yet not murmer escaped his lips. He
was hopeful and cheerful to the last, and
seemed to feel that he had yet work to
accomplish. He has left us, and though
his stay with us was short yet we miss
him from our ranks, and feel to sympa-
thizs deeply with those his friends thus
afflicted at his death. c.H.

Ellsworth Falls Railway.

We offered some reasons few weeks
since why railway should be constructed
from the wharves to the Ellsworth Falls
village, for the transportation Of the lum-
Der manufactured at the mills. From the
data presented. it will be seen that such an
enterprise will pay, the test which is APP
piled to all public as we'll as private enter
prises. If it will pay, why not build it
1t is certainly demanded by the business
interests of the place, and is almost as much
of Il public necessity as Town Hall. The
town can well afford to take stock i'll it,
for the two very good reasons, that it will
yield handsome return i'll dividends, and
because it will save the town large annu-
al expense for the repair of the road over
which under the present arrangement the
lumber is transported. The millmen and
the mill owners can well enter into the en-
terprise because it would facilitates theiI
business, rendering the transportation Of
their lumber certain, speedy and safe
Much of the damage to lumber now incl
dent to the old method of hauling it by
teams, would be saved. The percentage
of loss by so much handling and hauling
over bad roads, is quite large. Most OF
this would be saved. Much of the time,
and it always occurs when the roads are
bad, Spring and Fall lumber by the ordi
nary methods cannot he transported from
the mills to the wharves us rapidly as de-
manded. This will be obviated; and as
above remarked, a railway will render the
transportation Of lumber from the mills,
safe, speedy and cheap.
