With this letter, so full OF touching
tenderness, we close our Masonic record
of General Putnam. He survived for
many years, and when. upon the 6rst
day of May, 1924, he died, all said .
good man had gone to his rest. With
him it was indeed rest to which he had
long looked forward, confidently believ-
ing, that when death Invested him of his
earthly robes. his Saviour, in whom he
trusted, would stand by him to reinvest
him with the robes Of immortality.

I have seen the o6lcials statements Of

terrible afYair at Arkadi His statements
are based upon the Ad1davit Of monk

Who escaped. Except in vhat relates to
the loss suffered by the Turks, this state
mcnt agrees substantially with the

monastery of Arkadi was the largest
and most Important establishment Of
the kind in Crete. Il has occupied this
position for ages, having been erected
in the dAys of the Emperor Heraclius.
more than I,200 years ago. It Was built
with royal magnifcence, and quite as
much for fortress as q monastery.
Through all the wars and revolutions
and conquests Of twelve centuries. 1t
has been respected alike by friend and
foe Its library was rich in manuscripts.
The building itself, constructed on the
most massive style. stood in the center
of alarge court, the walls OF which were
strong enough for . fortress. Its situa
terry, at the time of the attack, contained
1913 men, including three Greek volun-
teers aud sixty-two monks. There were
also in the building 373 women and
children. The place being within few
hours of Rethymnos, a Turkish fortress,
it had been naturally place of refuge
for the Cretans, and 9 thorn in the side
of Mustapha Pasha. So on the Goth ult.
he moved down with 5000 men to take
possession Of the place, anticipating
little or no resistance His summons to
surrender was replied to by asshower of
balls, and he attempted to storm the
place at once. All day long he sought
in vain to batter the walls with field
pieces, and in the night he brought up
two heavy riaed cannon. With these,
on the morning of the 2lst, he made .
breach, which was soon entered by the
Egyptian and Turkish troops. The
Cretans retired to the monastery and
held out there until afternoon, almost all
the Turkish troops by this time being
within the courtyard. Finding that
they could hold out no longer, having
lost three fourths OF their fighting men.
1t was determined. by the common con-
sent Of all-women as we'll as men-to
blow up the building. The Turks were
allowed to rush in. while priest named
MANASSAS went into the vaults aud put
. candle to the magazine, which con-
tanned many barrels of powder. The
immense structure rose little and then
fell mass Of ruins upon all who were
inside, and upon hundreds in the court
yard. The loss of the Turks. according
to the most careful estimates made on
the spos, was abont ], 500 killed. although
the reports published by the Porte in
Conssantinople acknowledge a loss of
only $50. or the Greeks inside, fifty
three half-burned women and children
and forty three wounded men, who had
taken refuge in one of the cellars. eseap-
ed death. These survivors are the rem
nants of scattered families, children
without parents. wives without husbands,
and they are in the hands of the Turks.

or what route it follows, or where il
is to end, we venture to assert, not
one in a thousand can tell.
For a dozen years we have heard
that a great Pacific Railroad aoas to
be built, and a dozen names and a
dozen companies, and a dozen routes
from the southern boundary oil
Texas to the northern boundary Of
Lake Superior--have been urged
upon Congress as the greatest and
best means for uniting the Atlantic
and Pacific shores. Bubble after
bubble was blown, and each burst in
turn when touched by the sharp point
of practical experience.
The absolute necessity for Pacific
Railroad to retain and bind more
closely together the eastern and west
ern extremes of the continent in one
great United and Pacific country, the
immense cost of government trans
portation to its frontier and Rocky
Mountain posts, and the even greater
cost of Indian wars, in a region that
nothing but a railroad could civilize
and nothing but civilization could pa
cify,-the great Importance of open

mines of the Rocky and Sierra New
ada Mountains, so that the way to the
resumption Of specie payments might
be made shorter and easier,-all

ers to 60 ahead with it. We do not
insinuate that we are behind any OF
these places in what should make up
a smart village. We claim that we
are ahead of them all in natural busl-
ness capacity, as a centre OF trade
and as place of commercial wealth
We do lack unity however. Lacking
this we lose all. Let us now drop our
petty quarrels and unmanly chickering's
over this or that thing, and for the
purposes of mutual advancement unite
in the common cause of making Bar
ton village the first village in the coun-
ty. After that is fully accomplished
and we have secured every desirable
object, if it is then thought best to dig
up the Ratchet, we shall have ample
time and opportunity to do so, but till
then let us bury it. There is no place
in Orleans county so we'll situated to
command a large trade as Barton
village; it naturally drains a larger
country than any other locality. A
glance at the situation will show this
to be so. If ave do not so conduct
ourselves to draw it here the greater
shame to US.
What we have said above in regard
to village improvements is applicable
to any village in the county; and it is
not alone applicable to villages, but i
can be applied with the same force tt
farms. Not half the pains is taken by
farmers that there ought to be to beau
tify their premises and make them at
tractive to the eye. Too much time
labor, money and anxiety is spent t.
get large farms, &C., to allow of yer
liberal investments in paint, in shad
trees, in vines, flowers, and othc
things that ravish the eye and appes
to the finer sensibilities of the SOUL
Money spent for such purposes is nc
money wasted. There is money va
ue in elegance.

Letter from Colorado.

DENVER, COL, May %, 1867.
Mr.. Editor The "Indian war"
has nearly supplanted all other topics
in Colorado; "when will government
go to work and do something efectual'
is the remark heard at every turn.
Just as the tide of emigration had
turned toward US, promising a great
accession of population, intellect and
money, do the poor Indian" COM
mences his devilish work, and the
Pilgrims either go to some other part.
or return to the place from whence
they came"
Every day brings US new reports Of
Indian atrocitieS-theft, scalping, tor
ture and murder. 1t is very evident
that though Sherman could march
from Atlanta to the sea, and though
Hancock could fight with a vengeance
before Petersburg, they do not know
how to fight Indians. The indians
are too much for them. Hancock
lacked for forage, and so he determin-
ed to let the Indians alone until the
"grass grew" and might as well have
said, until every station on the great
overland route had been DESTROYED
and the stock stolen and driven off by
the Indians.
General Sherman travelled over the
plains last summer, and because he
saw no Indians, at once determined
that they were peaceable, and he does
not seem to be aware Of the contrary
yet. At last accounts he and Han
cock were to meet at Fort Harker and
consult. While they are driving a
brisk war in this way, depredations
are continued on every side. How
long these things are to continue nc
one knows. If the very Indians who
have committed these depredations
were to ask for peace, ponies, provis-
ions, guns, ammunition, &c, they would
get them. The trouble lies here
Our government are conceding to
them the right, as natives, to wage
war. When they murder travellers
and emigrants, it is not a crime, but
an act of war, and they are never
punished for it. Murder and robbery
constitute no grievance which requires
redress from them. The true system
is to destroy their tribal relations and

The security and ualue of ITS bonds.

The security and Udtue OF ats bonds.
We have made these calculations
that the public may have some brief
data of facts from which to form their
estimate of the Union Pacific Rail
road Company's First Mortgage
Bonds. Besides, men of the great
est railroad experience in the coun-
try have shown their confidence in
the stock by liberal subscriptions,
and this stock must be subordinate to
all other claims. But there are
stronger proofs of the security and
value of the First Mortgage Bonds
than any we have named;
/. That for the safety Of the coun-
try as well as national economy the
road is indispensable.
2. That by an investment OF about
fifty millions in a Second Mortgage on
the road, the Government practically
guarantees the principal and interest
on the first Mortgage.
The Company now offer a limited
amount of it's First Mortgage Bonds
bearing six per cent. interest, payable
semi-annually in coin, at ninety PEI
cent. This interest, at the curren
rate of premium on gold is equal t
nine per cent. per annum on the price
for which they are now offered. Th'
Company expects to sell but small
amount at this rate, when the pric
will be raised, and like all simila
; bonds they will finally rise to a pre-
MUM above their par value. Th
subscribers to this loan will not onl

have learned more OF this gigantic
enterprise than ever entered your
widest imaginings, and perhaps may
conclude that it will be a good pIac,
to invest your surplus capital.
