The Governors Address.

We lay this document before the readers of
the Press this morning. Ordinarily it is re-
lief to have something in state paper or pub
lie document to find fault with, but Governor
CoNY has so well made all bis points, and so
admirably presented the affairs of the State
and the questions calling for legislative action,
that we find nothing to complain of except
the length of his address. In this respect only
it is Dota model document according to our
notions of "the fitness of things" II Govern
or CoNY had been practising dozen years in
a daily paper. trying always to solve the prob
lam of crowding the largest possible amount
Of matter into the smallest possible space, he
would have made message that would have
caused the printers heart to leap for Joy; say
about one column and half long.
We have no space to-day for comments up
on this document even were they necessary
but we see no necessity for them. Every per-
son interested in the affairs of the State will
read it for himself, and all intelligent readers
are competent to make their own comments
We commend specially to the readers atten.
tion what the Governor says under the head
of "Fugitives from the Draft" and hope the
legislature will heed the suggestion and cut of
all such skedaddlers from the privileges Of
State citizenship.

AUGUSTA Jan. 5, 1854.
The Legislature will have made by meridian
to-day most rapid progress towards getting
in good working order. Scarcely twenty
four hours from the first stroke of the gavel
calling the members to order, before the or
ganization will be complete; the Governor
inaugurated-his message delivered; the State
officers and Councillors elected; and the pre-
siding officers ready to proceed with the usual
business of the session. This denotes work
and a disposition to forward the business of
the State with great despatch.
The various officers, as announced in your
telegraphic columns, were nominated in con-
vention last evening by reclamation, except
the State Treasurer. For this nomination
there has been quite sharp contest going on
for several days. The present invaluable
incumbent is constitutionally disqualified for
are-election at present, SO that the place was
thrown open to competitors. The Office is of
great Importance at this crisis in our national
and State finances. 1t is not surprising that
the selection Of new man should cause ex-
element and variety of opinions. In the
Convention, this diversity shew itself. Some
half dozen candidates found Jealous friends,
and the printed ballots were plentiful as snow
fakes on wintry day. The prominent can
didates were N. G.. Hitchborn, of Stockton,
Geo. A. Frost, of Sanford, Marshall Cram of
Brunswick, james Drummond of Bath, and
D. L. Milliken, of Waterville. A good corps
to select from. Mr.. Hltchborn came within
two votes of nomination, and it was made
unanimous. Thus most important Office was
filed in single ballot. s-s.s
The House promptly, on motion of Mr..
Granger, fixed on Wednesday next for bal
loting for United States Senator. The Senate
as promptly concurred. This great question
therefore is soon to be settled. The members
have decided, and wisely. too, that it shall not
entwine itself into other legislations, and by
such entangling alliances to have other impor-
tant matters shaped. It is to stand by itself,
and In that way, the members are rapidly tax
ing their places. A week was as good as a
month for that purpose. On Wednesday this
question will be put beyond the pale Of legis-
lative intricacies, by the election. after fair
canvass,-of Mr.. FEssENDEN. This is my
judgment reached by observing the agitation
Of the waters, since have been here This
early disposition of this important matter, will
be a source of graduation to all. It has been
fully and fairly discussed, for months in all
the localities Of the State. Nothing has been
left undone, that could be fairly done. Now
let us have the resultant then turn to other
important matters-which these great and
glorious days, press upon us with lightning
rapidity. - $4,000
The Message will be delivered to day. 1t
is long. The necessities of the day, elevate
many important interests into great signii-
canoe, and our faithful Governor cannot do
his duty fully without giving these topics a
full discussion. The day of short Messages
has gone by. The day of great events has
rendered that glorious era for printers simply
impossible. PELHAM.

Aid for the Freedmen, !

Mr.. Editor 1T is to be regretted that there
should be any want of harmony among those
who desire to aid the liberated slaves. So far
as this is the case, It has resulted from the fact
that so many societies have been engaged In
the same cause. have gooi reason to be-
heye that all these societies have been faithful
in their work, and have been doing much good.
And if their rivalry did not create more or
less distrustof them all, in many localities, it
might increase their usefulness, instead of
diminishing it. - sAH A&A
But in addition to this, each of the societies
has its paid agents, who have fxed salaries, or
a percentage of all their collections. In this
way quite portion of all the contributions is
absorbed before they reach the Freedmen, not
improperly, but necessarily. loo
A few friends of this cause, who met Mr..
Pearl when he was here, did not approve of his
plan. And in order to lift the cause above all
rival societies abroad, it has been determined
to form STATE socIETY,-not to work itself
In the South, but to raise contributions in this
State, and then appropriate them, through any
or all existing societies, as the directors may
think best, or as the donors may request. 1t
is believed that one agent in this State may
then attend to the entire home work and that
there will be no other expense attending it,
Those who give will then feel that their con-
tributions will not be absorbed In paying
agents of societies in other States. And the
character of.the men who will give their time
and attention to it, will satisfy all persons that
donations entrusted to the State Society will
be wisely appropriated, as the urgent wants of
the Freedmen, at different points, may from
time to time demand. The fact that such men
as Governor Washburn and Rev. DIR. Graham
of this city, and men of like position in other
parts of the State, are willing to take hold of
the movement, will entitle 1t to the confidence
OF all. And it is hoped that all local societies
in this State may thus be induced to work to-
gether for the same great and beneficent pur-
pose. ~ WOODBURY. DAVIS

have, within few years, been regarded with
increasing favor, by the musical community.

executed nearly as well as upon the piano,

NEW YORK, JAM s.
The Herald, speaking of the Dutch Gap
Canal, says eight regiments, white and color
ed, have been at work on it since August last.
II is 522 feet long, the greatest width excava-
tion l22 feet, and depth 45 feet. The width Of
the canal proper is 65 feet at the top and IS
feet at the bottom. AT high water the depth
will be 16 feet. Even if the canal cannot be
completed owing to the rebel batteries, great
deal has been gained towards enhancing the
commercial prospects of Richmond when it
goes into the possession of loyal hands.
The Tribune's Army OF the James special
dispatch says the Dutch Gap Canal Is regard
ed as complete success. the result of the ex.
plosion Of the bulkhead being all that was ex-
pected. A dredging machine will now finish
the work. Sixteen feet of water has been
in the canal since the 10th of last month.
