MEDICATION OF "DowN EAST" SEAlIRN.
Capt. F. N. MITCHELL of Machiasport,
writes us from Boston, Jan. 10th, requesting
US to correct q statement which has appeared
in the papers prejudicial to the captains and
crews Of down east. vessels. He says it has
been stated in the papers, that the captains and
crews Of five eastern vessels have been arrest
ed and held to bail, in Newburgh, NY, for
fraudently voting, having sworn in their votes,
stating that they belonged in Newburgh, and
voting the 'scopperhead" ticket. ''ii'.,e
Capt Mitchell says he is one of the eastern
captains probably referred to, but the whole
statement is a fabrication that he never swore
in his vote at Newburgh or any other place,
nor did he say he belonged there, neither was
he ever arrested in that or any other place for
any such offense, as that alleged.
M We cheerfully give Capt. Mitchell the BEN
eft of disclaimer in our columns. as we de-
sire TO have the skirts of our Maine citizens
clear of all such accusations but we do not
know why he should send his disclaimer to us
as no such statement as that to which he re-
fers has ever appeared in our columns to our
knowledge. oeioss ~ "a

The Baltimore Gazette OF January I'd, says
there was great excitement in that city by the
delivery at a railroad depot of q trunk con-
tanning the body Of white man. The trunk
belonged to woman who arrived on the
steamer Norfolk. She was in black and heay-
lily yelled. She and her trunk were driven to
aboarding house. About eight O'Clock in the
evening she called a hack for the purpose Of
going to the depot. As she left the hack she
paid the driver five dollars and requested him
to wait few moments. She did not return,
and the hackman carried the trunk to his
house. The next morning his wife had sus-
picions about the trunk, which was opened
and found to contain dead body, face down.
wards, and the legs doubled up under the
stomach.
After much excitement the woman appeared
and claimed the trunk, Her name was Mary
Louisa Linder-a bad woman. She says the
name of the deceased was John Freeborn, be-
longing to the New York cavalry, and had
deserted and lived with her. To escape detec-
ton he chose this mode of travelling. A small
hole was made in the trunk. and he got into it
and was conveyed to the boat. In the night
she raped upon the trunk, and he said, $50
away, am all right y When the trunk was
brought to her room by the hackman she
opened it and found the man dead. Now came
the trial. She walked the streets and knew
not what to do, but finally she concluded to
reveal the facts and give herself up. She was
turned oyerto the military authorities, but
the poor soldier is now free from all military
power. e GUS Elgowogg .asnli iia Be- ID -
The closing scene of this singular case came
off at Norfolk before Judge Webster. This
Mary Louisa Under gave the following ac-
count Of the affair at her trial. She was much
affected and wept bitterly. She said John
Freeborn was tired of the army and told me if
would convey him to Chicago ne would give
me four hundred dollars. To get the money
he jumped the bounty and then we could both
60 to Canada and get married. He ordered
me to buy large trunk and he would get into
it and you can do with it just as you do with
your clothing. / did not like to do it, but he
made me. The trunk is a large, handsome
one, about twenty five inches high, sixteen in
ches broad and thirty-two inches long. Be
meath one Of the straps was small hole
through which he breathed by means of a
| pipestem.. He had in the trunk canteen OF
water, a towel and some chewing tobacco.
When the trunk was carried into my room
at Baltimore, was SO glad that 1 kicked it,
saying, Johnny, you are all right" but there
| was no answer The dead could not speak
When she opened the trunk she said she was
''crazy in her head.D Such is the substance ii
this womans evidence. She was strongly inn
pressed with the belief that she would be
hung. But the man voluntarily went into the
trunk and died, and her only crime was aiding
and abetting deserters.
Judge Webster, after having consulted with
Gen. Shepley upon the sentence, returned to
the court room and sentenced her to a fine Of
five hundred dollars and two years. imprison.
ment at hard labor.

Glimpses of the Capitol.

- AUGUSTA, Jan. IL. 1855. /.
The Legislature yesterday completed the
work SO well initiated few days since, and
elected Hon. VIM. P. FEssENDEN, United
States Senator for six years from the 4th of
March next. At 10 o'clock the Committee to
receive the votes took their places in front of
the Speakers desk. The members were then
called upon, in alphabetical order, and coming
forward, deposited their ballots. One hundred
and thirty nine members weSe present. Great
order and dignity characterized the proceed
ings. When the ballot had proceeded through
about half the alphabet, a message from the
Senate announced that that body on its part
elected Mr.. Fessenden. The balloting proceed
ed, and when concluded, the Committee count
ed the votes on The Clerks desk, in the pres
ence of the House. Mr.. Fessenden had IL
votes, and William P. Haines had %. The
Speaker then, with great emphasis, and evil
IDENTIFY with glowing satisfaction, declared Mr..
Fessenden elected on the part Of the House.

part of the good work casting the entire vote
Of the members present for Mr. Fessenden.--
There we're twenty-seven of them in their
seats The absentees were, Messrs. Jewett Of

: BAD HUMoR.-But one paper in the State
that has come under our observation. has
manifested any unpleasant feeling over the
settlement of the Senatorial question by the
Union members Of the Legislature, and that
is the Bangor Jefersonian. Among other
ahings its speaks Of
fan alleged bargain with the President
when he called him Mr.. Fessendenl to the
Treasury, as if the President would deliber-
ately cheaper that most important Depart
ment in the Government by six months dis
posal of it." n
Al This rather spiteful attack upon Mr.. Fess-
enden we think is fully answered in another
column, in the article in relation to the Sec
rotary of the Treasury. 1t is difficult to see
how the President could dispose Of the Treas
ury, or any other Department of the Govern
ment for longer term than six months, when
his own term was to expire in that length Of
time. 1sHe - s2 4l&3uCo
