Second Lecture of the Independent Course.
Last evening the Second Lecture of the In
dependent Course was delivered by Hon.
RICHARD III. DANA, Jr., of Boston. He was
introduced by ex-Gov. Washburn, and for an
hour and a half held the audience closely riv-
eted to the subject in hand by his logical rea-
soning, his eloquent facts, and his irresistible
conclusions. He defined loyalty, showing
what it is and in what it differs from patriot
ism; demonstrated the necessity of an organ
lied government; how difficult of establish
ment,-how easily it may be lost, and, when
once lost, how hard to be restored.
He traced the history of our government,
and particularly for the last few years, show
ing the ordeal to which the loyalty of our peo-
pie has been subjected and how gloriously it
has stood the severest tests. Loyalty trium-
plant and victorious is an easy thing, but 10y
atty in debt and in danger, demanding, per-
haps the last dollar and the first-born, is quite
different thing; but this is the loyalty witch
has been proved to be the possession of our
people, and which now is victorious.
Portions of TIE lecture were thrilingly elo-
quent, and called forth the most enthusiastic
applause. TWAS throughout candid, courte-
Gus, impressive and convincing. Mr.. Dana is
fine speaker, but, like Gov. Boutwell, and
Gen. Banks, INDUCES in no humor, so that the
audience find no room for laughter; none of
the relief which comes of a change of the facial
muscles. His style is severely intellectual. and
constantly taxes the best thought of his hear
ers.
The Quartette, under Mr.. Shaw, performed
two exquisite pieces of music; one at the
opening, and one at the close.
The next lecture of the course will be on
Friday evening next by talented, eloquent
lady,-a colored lady,-who in childhood and
youth enjoyed the beautiful and inspiring ed
ucational advantages of being negro slavel

KENNEBUNK, Nov. 20, 1855.

KENNEBUNK, Nov. 20, 1856.
70 the Editor Of the .'Ssss:
The treason of Arnold in the Revolutionary
war produced an excitement throughout the
land, not less universal and intense, than have
the developments of any period of the great
rebellion, which has just been subdued. The
feeling was general that it was only by Provi-
Dental intervention that our army and Gen.
eral Washington were saved. While every
heart was made to tremble by the disclosure Of
that astounding treachery, the patriotism O,
the nation was moved with the most feryent
gratitude that it was so wonderfully defeated
and the Congress of the United States appoint-
ed the seuenh day of December. 1850. as a
day IF Thanksgiving by the whole people.
John Hancock, the Governor of Massachu-
sets, issued his proclamation, setting apart
the same day, for the annual State Thanks
ing, and calling upon the people to observe it,
especially on account of this remarkable deliv-
erance. W
1t is singular coincidence that the present
Chief Magistrate of the nation, and the Gov
ernors ofthe States, have appointed the same
day. the seventh of December, as day of
Thanksgiving for the same cause, the deliver
ance of the people from gigantic treason,
having no parallelin history; and have
thought that the proclamation Of Gov. Hancocl
might be interesting to many of your readers
and possibly, suggestive OF useful reflection 70,

Affairs in Virginia.

New YORK, July 12.-The Herald S
Virginia correspondent says: The diff
Guilty between the planters and freedmen
continues to give both civil and military
authorities much trouble. Many of the
planters, it is said, are desirous of getting
rid of the negroes altogether, and sup
plying their places with white laborers
from the North and Europe.
The committee Of Richmond men who
visited President johnson to endeavor to
induce him to recind the twenty thou
sand dollar ossocPsiio-.Y en4a4@;-rsr h
amnesty proclamation, have returned with
out meeting with any success.
The old Virginia State Banks are now
in process of liquidation, and it is thought
that holders of notes will not realize over
twenty cents on the dollar.
Heury A. Wise has made application
to the military authorities for restora
tion of his former estate uear Norfolk
with rather poor prospect of succeed
ing. Some of the Virginians propose tt
again put up Wise as candidate fo
Governor. There is great destitutiol
among the inhabitants of Spottsylvani
county, and it has been proposed to sen,
agents to this city, Philadelphia and Bal
timore to secure aid for them.

Cotton i'm south Carolina.

New YORK, July 8.-One of the Her.
AIDS correspondents, who has recently
been travelling extensively through South
Carolina, is satisfied that the amount OF
cotton still remaining in the interior of
that State is very large, exceeding any
estimate which has yet been published.
There is much difficulty in getting it to
the seaboard, owing, in considerable de-
gree, to the slow progress which is being
made by the Railroad Companies in re
pairing their lines. These roads were
most efectually destroyed by Gen. Sher-
man, and the iron to relay the tracks has
yet to be bought, and the money to buy
1t with will have to be borrowed at the
North. So greatly has the collapse OF
the rebel currency shattered the faith OF
the South Carolina planters in paper mo
| ney of all kinds that they generally pre-
fer ten cents pound in gold to fifteen
cents in greenbacks.

held powow, on Tuesday night, at the

y AS the proceedings of this body of dis
Interested patriots is Of the greatest i'm
portance and usually highly interesting,
I'VE give so much as we have been able in
the absence of reporter, to lay before
the anxious public.
Mr.. A was in favor of nominating a
county ticket. He didn't care if the nom
inees were as black as the ace of spades,
s he would 60 them enthusiastically.
sga There was preacher there, it is said.
Mr.. B would like to have a candidate
in every township, if some gentleman
good in figures could cipher out how to
arrange seven candidates SO as to have
one in each of seventeen townships.
81 We might here remark that there was
preacher there.
Mr.. G called the attention of the meet
ing to the fact that something must be
done.
We have been told that there was a
preacher there,
Mr.. D was of opinion that if somethin G
& was to be done now was the time to
do ii,
&. 1t is quite certain that there was a
preacher there.
Mr.. was in favor of getting up a
huge excitement and stumping every
school district.
We have the best authority for saying
that there was preacher there.
Mr. + was experienced in political man
aging in this county, and he was very
sure that no excitement should be stirre(
up. Everything should be done silly, st
the locofocos would know nothing aboutit
Noone doubts that there was preache
there.
Mr.. D didn't believe that the Demo
,erats could beat them more than eleve
hundred.
We once moro add that there was
z preacher there.
Mr.. H said that the Democratic part
had gone to the Devil,
sia And there was preacher there.
At late hour the meeting adjourne
over until week from next Saturday
They are quite confident that the Demo
! cratic party cannot possibly survive th
terrible blows they inflicted upon it, an
.siwill be dead enough before their mex

The RICHMOND MARKErs-Thc Wing
says it is a little remarkable that tho quo
tations of the Richmond markets should
be twenty per cent lower than the quota
tions of the Baltimore, Philadelphia and
New York Markets. But such is the
fact. 1t is one of the phenomena of the
times, and is not easily explained. The
markets yesterday morning were teeming
with superabundance that could not
find purchasers. Meats were held at Il
and Is cents per pound; 20 and 25 cents
for rare cuts; fruits and vegetables were
almost given away; excellent butter could
be purchased at % cents.

On these outside seats were arranged
beautiful little girls, neatly and tastily

Neither Grant nor Sherman do it

Neither General Grant nor Gen. Sher-
man, in any of the brief speeches they
have made since the conclusion of the
War, have expressed the opinion that to
complete the work of suppressing the re-
bellion, it is necessary to confer suf-
frage on the black man; but, on the con-
trary, General Sherman has said in plain
language and direct terms, that suffrage
ought not to be conferred on him. Is it
for this reason that the Abolition State
Convention declined to thank these. Gen
erals by name for the invaluable services
they have done the country States
