The Evidence of s,atcsmansl.ip.


Itis urged, that because some ofthe lead
ersin the Rebellion, who had been looked
upon as statesmen, failed to form, in the
commencement, correct opinion as to the
extent, cost and duration of the Rebellion,
they have forfeited all claims to statesman
ship. If this is so, who among the powers
that be deserve to be looked upon as states
men?s We do not know man holding a
position that ought to be occupied by a
statesman, who had anything like correct
idea as to the duration and cost of the War.
Each, and every one of them, has from
time to time, blundered in his estimate of
it. If therefore, the adhering States have
no.better statesmen than those who control
and direct the Administration at Washing
ton, and If the test of craftsmanship con-
sists in having had from the commencement
a just conception OF the Rebellion, neither
section has anything to boast of on the
score Of craftsmanship. .G'

Gorham Seminary.

The winter term of this Institution closed
on Friday last. Two days were occupied in
examination, of the various classes, and
though no special preparation had been made
for the occasion, and the scholars had little if
any admonition that it was to take place, they
bore the test with much credit.
Parents and friends of the pupils must have
been gratifed at their general appearance, and
pleased with the many evidences given of faith
funess and devotion on the part both of schol-
ars and teachers.
Mr.. Lord, under whose charge the Semina-
ry now is, is earnestly devoted to the interests
of the Institution, and with an accomplished
Preceptress and competent assistants in the
varions departments, spares no pains to make
the school in every way deserving of a gener-
Gus patronage.
On Friday evening an address was delivered
before the 'Prentiss Literary Association by
F. M. Ray, Esq, of Portland. His subject was
Switzerland and William Tell.
1t was an exceedingly intesesting produc-
ton, written in pure, simple English, yet in a
most charming narrative style; so that while
the youngest boy present could understand it,
those Of mature years and cultivated minds
would not fail to be entertained and instruct-
ed by it. We hope that other audiences NAV
have the pleasure of listening to this address
and enjoying it as much as we did at

AUGUSTA, Feb. Z, 1865.
To the Editor Of the Press:
Having few moments of leisure will full
I'll my promise to drop you a line from time to
time. The Legislature is at work in earnest,
aud will adjourn by the 22d. The bounty bill
and legalizing the action of the towns in yot-
ing bounties will go through this week. The
majority of the Legislature is opposed TO
placing any restrictions on the towns, as the
committee wished to do. / think the majori-
ty make mistake in allowing the towns to
create so large a debt, instead Of meeting
some part of it while the farmers are obtain
ing the present high prices for farm products.
If the present system is to continue, were l
a lender of money should give town notes a
wide berth.
The "third rail" causes some little excite
ment, the committee having reported against
removing the restriction, and it remains with
Bangor to say whether there is to be fight
or not. l hope they will not get up any sec
tional feeling, for the building of the Europe
an & N. A. Railroad depends entirely on the
good will of the western part of the State.
Gov. Cony has entirely recovered from his
illness, and receives all callers in his usual
cordial manner. noticed, some days ago,
that "Ralph," in the Courier, said that "Gov.
Cony peremptorily declines a denomination,
and politicians have fixed on the Hon. N. A.
Farwell as his successor" With all due re-
spect for "Ralph," must say, and 1 sag phdt
Iknoao to be true, that he is entirely out Of
his latitude. for Gov. Cony has not and aoil
not decline denomination. He was elevated
to his present position without any of the
usual party machinery, and if the people of
Maine wish him to continue in the office
which he has filed with SO much honor to the
State, he will not feel at liberty to decline /;
and no man in the State will more gladly aid
in the denomination of Gov. Cony than the
gentleman named by Ralph" as having been

into that night by the Portland propeller Frar-

at about twenty minutes past o'clock in the
evening, it being overcast, though not very
dark. at the time. The Empire State was
struck on the starboard bow. A large hole
was stove about fifteen feet abaft the stem.

but, having water-tight bulkheads, the damage
thus occasioned was not serious. Her head

The Franconia received but trifing damage.
and at once took the Empire State in tow, and
proceeded toward New Haven. Il was thought
best, however, to keep on TO New York. and
the passengers and baggage were transferred

TEMPERANCE CoNvENrIoN.-The Tenn
rperance Convention, to be held at the brick
Westinghouse in Falmouth tomorrow after
noon and evening, we trust will not be forgot
ten by the friends of the cause in this coun-
ty.
fresh interest has been awakened in sew
eral of the towns, and there is an evident de-
termination to close up the liquor shops, and
to keep them closed. To sell intoxicating
drinks is in plain violation of an express law.
Whatever our opinion of the expedency of
the law, we must concede that its violation
should be visited with the penalties annexed.
The duty of magistrates is therefore apparent:
regard for their oath should impel to strict
enforcement Of the law.
Intemperance in the county is on the in
crease, while the law is all that could be de-
sired for the complete overthrow of the traffic
in Intoxicating liquors. Let the friends of
Temperance, then, assemble tomorrow, COM
pare notes, and devise further effective meas
ures for checking the food of intemperance.
