Governor II thank you, sir for the very
complimentary manner in which you havepre-
scented me to the citizens of this city and State,
and regret that have not language to ex-
press what feel for my kind reception and
the remarks you have made in reference to
myself | rejoice that what was able to do /
accomplished by the aid of such men as these.
The aluson you have made to my record is
more highly priced because coming from q sol
der with such record as your own Perhaps
there would have been very little occasion for
such demonstration as have seen here to-
day, had / not been aided by such men as your
self, Governor. and Gen. Beal. a.al5I5 :.
The State House was decorated with flags
and various other appropriate adornments in a
manner which did great credit to Mr.. j. III.
Cochrane under whose supervision the work
was executed. ~
At the conclusion of the ceremonies at the
State House, Gen. Sheridan found it necessary
to bring his visit to Augusta to an abrupt close
in order to take the train for Concord, which
started at quarter past twelve. Consequently
the dinner at the Augusta House, which had
been prepared by Mr.J H. King, regardless
of expense" though a perfect success in other
respects, wanted the presence of the chief
guest, who was riding" again at very rapid
rate while the entertainment was in progress.
1t was little like the play of Hamlet withtbe
proverbal omission of the principal character,
but though the enthusiasm was so far abatsd
by the circumstance that no speeches were
made, no appreciable abatement in the appe-
tite OF the remaining guests was noticed until
the expiration of a considerable period.
This tribute OF our people to valor and pat
riotism, mans chefest values, has been hearty
and spontaneous Let the peoples voice attest
the claims of the man whose valorous achieve
ments "cut short the war one year" Like
CoriOlanus, he has so planted his honors in our
eyes and his actions in our hearts, that for our
tongues to be silent and not confess SO much,
were an ungrateful injury. DAMON. -

BRIDGING THE ATLANTIO.--If the nations of
the earth We're not so busy s'gouging" each 9th
er and cutting each others threats the following
plan proposed by writerin the Circular might
not seem quite so fanciful. The New York
World thinks the idea of railroad to Europe
as capable of realization as many others which
are expressed in standard literature, and cites
the organist in Mr.. Lowell's poem OF Sir Lam
fall who built "a bridge from dreamand for
his lay and Hoods Bridge of Sighs.' The
Atlantic railroad plan is explained thus: t
A railroad from America to Europe across
the Atlantic Ocean! How can it be nader
Answer. BY removing the unnecessary rocks
and mountains of the continents to a surveyed
definite locality. The combined navies of the
world, or, at least, such as would otherwise be
employed as bellgerents, could convey materi-
ais for the road to the proper destination. i
need not be asked for the full details of the
plan. for those belong TO the engineer, who in
this time finds ways TO accomplish seeming i'm
possibilities He viii show you the cubic
yards OF solid rock necessary to firm his track
| foundation Suppose it to De, when completed
| mile in width at the surface of the water, and
| drawn into half a mile in width at 200 feet high
| Sufficiently numerous openings should be left
| to be spanned by suspensIon-bridges, to allow
the North and South commerce of the ocean
| to go on unobstructed Then the halfmile
| width of the surface grade would be sufficient
| for any desired amount of rail other road
| tracks, and for telegraph lines; leaving mar
| gin for houses, gardens, &c. A river of fresh
| water should be carried along nearly or quite
| the whole length OF this road-bed, being con-
| veyed from both ends and emptying itself into
| the ocean midway. Ofcourse it wonld be inn
perative to take water from some higher local
ity; perhaps from the highest sources on the
| earth and conduct it properly in Its course.

A grand ball was given on Friday evening
at the Bangor House, in honor of the officers,
at which, it is stated, one of the gallant sons OF
Neptune became SO enamored of gushing
belle of Bangor, as TO forget the land of vine
clad hills and sunny memories" in her pres
ence, and even, hear it whispered, TO implore
her to fly with him over the seas and far away.
But his hopes were doomed to be blasted, and
the poor youth found his air-castle ruthlessly
shattered before his longing eyes. As free
man and patriot her cruel "guardeen" could
not consent to such ruthless robbery of one
of his couutry's brightest jewels, and the heart
broken uniform sorrowfully retired from his
presence to seek consolat on in some more ap-
preciative quarter. III

The SOUTHERN EDITOR AND GEN. GRANT
The Democratic papers are stating altogether
too strongly the remarks of the Southern edi-
tor who came all the way from Atlanta to learn
the views of the Commander-in-C Chief of our
armies. The source from which their informa-
ton is derived is the special Washington dis
patch to the Tribune which we give below in
full. The impressions" of no living Southel n
editor are worth a rye straw as an indication of
Grants views, when we have in black ard
white his letter to Logan during the war, his
letters to johnson protesting against the re-
m)val of Sheridan, as well as authentic in
formation of the contents of his letter to john
SON ON the removal of Stanton. We also ha, e
his acts. 1t is known that he was most active
during the July session of Congress in urging
members to take from the President the pow
er to remove district commanders, and to re-
m lin in continuous session. The following is
t le Tribune dispatch: 4..t.,...
A Southern editor, who has for some time
been advocating the election of Gen. Grant rs
President, came TO this city last week for the
3 purpose of learning directly from the General
his political standing. He obtained an inter-
view with Gen. Grant, aud informed the latter
that many of his friends who were supporting
him as the embodiment of patriotism and as
the pet representative of the truly conservative
men of the country, had been alarmed at the
position in which Mr.. Washburne had placed
MIN in his Galena speech; that if Mr.. Wash
burnc correctly statediGen. Grants political
opinions, he (Grant) was as much Radical
as any of them, and belonged to the Radical
party. The editor says Gen. Grant replied to
this that he-was not party man, never had
been of any political party. and perhaps should
never be; that he voted for Buchanan for
President, but had not done much voting since
because Of unsettled residence. q The editor
further says that the impression he derived
from the conversation was that Gen. Grant
Will not accept a nomination 10 the Presidency
from The Radicals proper. but that he would
accept the nomination as the representative OF
the Conservative men. The editor has taken
notes of the conversation and proposes to print
them in his newspaper.
The force of this or rather the weakness, is
further limited by the timely publication OF the
correspondence between Grant and Thomas
while the September election was pending at
Nashville. This was a test question, and the
manner in which it was decided by Grant in
Dictated, if anything could, the tone of his po-
itical views. He Instructed Gen. Thomas 20
sustain Gov. Brownlow and the judges of .elee-
tion appointed by the Commissioners of Regis
tration. Every Democrat and Conservative
in the country sympathized with Mayor Matt
Brown; Gen. Grant directed that United
States troops be used to resist him and his APP
pointees, if called upon by Brownlow. Ifthat
be conservatism, let the Copperheads make
the most of it. aa3 2. is'aa' ~ 20 iif' -

1t IS now fully decided by the directors oil the
roads between Portland and Boston that there
shall be a morning train between the TWO cut
les leaving Portland at a quarter before ana
arriving in Boston at half past IL !; also Tram
to leave Boston at 3 p. M, arriving IN for'i'lni
at 10 D. M By the running oil theSe trains our
busines; men will have 1--WE hours IN Boston
and be able 10 reach home the same evening"
That the trains between Portland and Boston
have not been run with any consideration Of
the interests of the former city was shown in n
former article The. trains between the two
cities have been arranged as to accommo-
date long travel, making Portland a way-sta-
ton. The trains have been way-trains, stop
ping TO leave and to take up passengers at e'-
cry station between Portland and Boston, thus
making the travel uncomfortable and tedious.
The new nlcsning train is especially design
ed to accommodate Portland and the immedi-
ate vicinity Ii has been placed on tiie roiu no'-
withstanding considerable opposition py some
of the directors, though by others II mas peeh
urged as a necessity to the business interests Oh
orr city. Portland, it was said, was deserving
of an early train TO Boston; and if the roads
did not now grant it, the completion Of the
Portland and Rochester Railroad, running
next year to Great Falls, would give us the
train 1t was urged that the facilities extend
ed to Portland are not SO great now as they
were when the roads were first opened to Bos-
ton; the trains then left Portland at half past Z
arriving in Boston at half past II. 10.
The new train will undoubtedly be the pop
ular train for Portland. Our merchants and
the travelling public will use it, and by anoth
er year we predict that it will be run as an
express train and accommodate all the trave
arriving in Portland by the boats from st
John, Eastport, Machias, and other points
along the coast at the same time giving
all the railroads in the eastern part o
the State an opportunity to lui
trains after business hours, arriving
in Portland so as to connect with this trai
. and reducing the transit between Bangor ant
Boston to nine hours between Skowhegan and
Boston to eight hours, and between Portland
aud Boston to four hours, allowing sufficient
time to taf1e2up passengers at all important
stations. We predict that this train will be
success. The fall arrangement will be an
nounced in about two weeks and the new
train will then go into operation.
