THE MESSAGE.
SATURDAY, DECEMBER Is, 1865.

The Message Of the Presi-
dent of the United States to
Congress has been received
since our last issue.
No public paper has been
more anxiously looked for
within the last half century
than this, following as it does
the close of the great interne-
cine war that has so deeply
agitated and distracted the
country, and shaken to it's
very foundation the pillars Of
the constitution upon which
the great republic is based,
and upon which alone it can
be maintained and perpetual
ed. It is the first official ex-
position Of the executive or
any coordinate branch of the
government indicating the line
of policy to be pursued in ef-
fecting the restoration of that
union, peace and harmony SO
essential to the we'll being of
our common country. AS such
it will be received and well
coined as a harbinger of good
by the patriotic and right
thinking men of all parties
throughout the length aud
breadth of the land.
The reconstruction of the
States that have attempted to
withdraw from the federal
union, and by this mad act
have overwhelmed themselves
in disaster aud ruin; and the
conditions upon which they
are to be restored to all their
constitutional rights and fran
chises, constitute the most de.
icate and important act en-
trusted to the Government
since the adoption of the Con-
stitution, and presents a prob
lem that might we'll appal the
stoutest hearts not inspired by
the purest, truset, and noblest
devotion to country.
The harmonious adjustment
of this delicate and intricate
trust will form an ever memoir
able era in the history of our
government, establish an ever
lasting witness to the modera-
ton and business of our states
men, and stand a monument
to guide future generations and
guard them from the dangers
which environed the ship of
state and threatened to en-
gulph its precious cargo.
We rejoice that the Presi-
dent has given us this exam
pie of moderation and wisdom
and the exhibition of such
exalted patriotism and frank
ness. We expected no less,
and happily are not disappoint-
ed. The American people will
thank him for this able state
paper, in which is Set forth so
clearly and tearsily the views
he entertains touching the
momentous questions Of the
day, and the remedies to be
applied to restore and main
tain us a great, powerful and
united nation.
We earnestly commend to
the careful consideration ofour
readers the whole Message,
but especially those portions
which treat of our domestic
relations, and trust they will
experience the same satisfac.
ton that we have in its
perusal.

| NEW CHURCH LEcTUREs.-Rev. w. B. Hay
den's Sunday evening lectures continue to at
tract public attention by the novelty of the
ideas presented, and the ability with which
| they are advocated ,r-.~, n n Z
| The lecture last Sunday evening was devoted
to consideration of the two kinds of Divine
Inspiration, which the speaker averred are
found in the different Books of the Bible; the
Prophetic and the Apostolic; or the direct
and the indirect. The Prophets were men who
had open vision, receiving Communications inn
mediately from the Most High; hearing the
Word of the Lord" distinctly pronounced in
their ears Such was the case with Moses and
others. Their books all contain a spiritual or
prophetic meaning, relating to Christian truths
| and heavenly things.
The other class of writer's had the gift of tbe
Holy Spirit, writing under its IMPULSE and il
lustration or guidance, but spake what thew
meant in plain, grammatical LANGUAGE. with.
outsymbolor vision. 30. ..,,t. - = :

and historical illustrations, for which we have

The New England Banks.

we are indebted to the Compiler, Charles
b. Clapp, of Gardiner, for a copy Of a neatly
printed pamphlet, entitled "Bank Guide" con.
tanning % list Of banks in the New England
States and New Jersey which have surrender.
ed their charters, giving date of surrender. ex
piration of time of liability to redeem" SC
Printed at the Journal Office, Augusta. It
must be very convenient work for reference.
The Compiler says in his preface that the
banking laws of the several States not being
familiar to the public generally, and much
anxiety having been manifested by the mer-
camille community concerning the present
large circulation of bills of st tie Banks, no in
formation aving been made pubic convenient
for reference in regard to date OF surrender OF
charters, or expiration of time of liability to
redeem, the work has been carefully prepared
fom the most reliable data that could be OBJ
tanned. In its preparation, it has been the aim
of the publisher TO furnish, in convenient
form, such information, as, it is hoped, will
give the pnblic ample pfoteettiiqn. gs. 90
The work is well got up, and is sold OF the
low price of IS cents per copy. Every man in
the eeAGtgy should have one of them, for not a

it, and Tor several years yet it win increase in

Skating,

10 he Editor Of The Press:
1t is felt to be great deprivation among tie
people of this city, that there are no more con-
venieut opportunities for INDUCING in the in
MIGRATING amusement of skating. 1t is true
that there is fine chance for it at the Basin,
but it is difficult oil access, particularly for
children. DOH. .....
l wish to make suggestion, which, If Il
could be carried out, would, L think, secure
large amount of gratitude, for small outlay
OF money. The City Government is liberal in
furnishing amusements for its citizens in sum
iner' In the way of 4th of July spectacle5, out
uoor music, &C.; but, believe, no provision is
ever niade Tor winter amusement. There is a
very large lot of unimproyed land ON the
corner Oh spring and Clark streets-nearly
leVel--its sides partially banked up, forming a
natural basin, and admirably adapted for a
skating park. Now, If the city could obtain
the use of this lot from its proprietors for the
purpose, it could be flowed by one of our steam
fire engines when the ground is frozen. at a
very moderate expense or quantity of water,
and subsequently renewed with little trouble.
| am informed that water is very abundant in
the reservoirs in that vicinity. The surface
water that flows down the cutters of Clark
Street could also be diverted into the lot.
Another idea which suggests itself is this /:
The horse cars run directly past past the local
ity, and, if the plan should be carried out it
might be source Of sufficient income to the
railroad to induce the proprietors to do some
thing towards keeping the place in good con-
dition. 81 ~ 81 - -.-r h.
1.-THE suggestions of our correspondent are
worthy Of consideration, and We hope the sub
ject will be acted upon, If not by our City
Council, by the Portland Railroad Company.l

The Late King of The Belgians.

Leopold, King ofthe Belgians, the announce
ment of whose death is among the recent adj
vices from Europe, was not only one Of the
Oldest but one of the most respected soyereigns
of the world. He was born in Coburg in 1879,
and was a son of the Duke OF Sake Coburg-
Saalfeld. He early entered the military ser
vice OF Russia, and in his eighteenth year was
general under Alexander 1. After partic'-
pating in the battles of Leipsic, Lutzen, Baut-
zen and Culm, he, in 1914, accompanied the
allied soyerigns to England. is l5i8 sl.l o. 2li.
There he made the acquaintance and won the
affections of the Princess Charlotte, daughter
of George the Fourth then Prince Regent. and
h>iress to the throne of England They were
united, and the marriage, though opposed by
the Prince, Regent, who wished to give his
daughter to the Prince of Orange, was yery
popular with the English people. Prince Leo
pold was made Field Marshal, created Duke
OF Kendall, and a member of the Privy Coun-
Gil, and received pension of 100000. But
these fattering prospects met an early and
sudden blight. In November 1877 the Prin-
cess died in childbed, her infant did not sur
vive, and not only her young husband, but the
whole English people to whom she was great
ly endeared were plunged in profound grief.
In 1880 the Crown of Greece was offered t,
Leopold, but he declined it. In 1881 revolu-
ton having destroyed the kingdom of the
Netherlands, he was chosen as the first king
Of the Belgians, and the next year married the
Princess Louise, daughter of Louis Philippe.
She died in 1885, t,19H "ofl-5 ioHt
From this marriage were born three sons
and one daughter. The eldest son, known as
the Duke of Brabant, is Soyears of age and is
married to an Austrian Princess. The second
son is the Count of Flanders; the third is
Prince Philip Eugene. The daughter was
maried to the Arcl : luke Macmillan, brother
of the Emperor of Austria, and consequently
is now known as the Empress of Mexico. :,
Leopold was not very brilliant. but he
was a judicous and beneficent sovereign, I'M
der whose discreet constitutional rule the king
dom OF Belgium has steadily prospered.-
Among the crowned heads of Europe none en-
joyed higher character for sound Judgment,
nim fairness and craftsmanship and more cues
tons of dispute between nations have been re-
erred to than to any other man of our time. His
decisions in such cases have always been such
as to command respect, and to be accepted as
just. Though his kingdom was small and
comparatively unimportant, his personal in
huence was great, and never failed to be ex-
erted on the side Of peace and harmony, and
in the interest of humanity. His health had
been long declining, and his death was an
event not unexpected though widely regret

TENALTY FOR CRIME. = BY reference to
our supreme Judicial Court report, it will be
noticed that severe sentences have been impo-
SEQ upon the prisoners convicted at the pres
ent term. The justice of these penalties will
be acknowledged by this community. Crime
has become so rampant that it is highly
necessary to impose severe punishment upon
offenders, and the course of Judge Barrows
will be sustained by all law abiding citizens.
The aggregate amount Of imprisonment in
fiicted by the Judge at this term is thirty-seven
and a half years in the State prison, and four
years IN the county jail ~ 06tT uTr1

Assistance to Vessels in Distress.

An order has been received from the Treas
ury department., by Collector Washburn, des-
ignating the Revenue Steamer Mahoning,
Capt. Webster, for special service ON this
coast during the winter, for the purpose Of af-
fording 'the requisite assistance to vessels and
crews in all cases OF distress" The Mahoning
is to be provided with provisions, fuel and
water, in such quantities as can be conven-
iently stored" for the supply of such vessels
ias may be found destitute and she will also
take such clothing or other supplies ON board
as the underwriters may see fit to furnish
for the same object.
The Mahonmg Is "to cruise between Port
land and East as far as Whitehead, and West
as far as Cape Ann, &C., keeping as close to
land as may be consistent with the safety Of
the vessel, and not going into port ooener
than she may be compelled to from stress of
weather or want of supplies. !"
