g la a...eL WATERvnLE, Oct. 8, 1858.
To the Editor of the Press. a .aH ...
Those who have been accustomed to make
annual or less frequent visits to this beauti-
full village-who have seen its business ex-
tending, its residences and shade trees in
creasing in number and beauty-who have
seen, everywhere, evidence of refined taste,
industry, independence and high moral and
intellectual culture, have wondered why q
water-power, such as but few towns in this
State possess, should be allowed to remain so
long, comparatively unemployed.
|L I WATER POWER AND DAM.
About year ago A. Phillips ESQ.,, Messrs.
ID. l.. E. Hilliken and other Watervills gen.
tleman, determined to render available the
immense water-power At the village. A COM
pany was organized, the necessary capital
subscribed and the work of erecting a dam
commenced under the supervision Of Mr.. t.
Emery, which is now nearly completed. 1t is
about 1900 feet long, extending nearly across
the river and down the western side. An op-
portunity is afforded to build factories for halt
mile or more with 1S feet fall and an inex-
haustble supply Of water. The dam is the
most substantial ever erected in the State,
and will cost about 100000. No one can
fail to see, as the result of this movement, a
large increase in the business and population
of this town. .a. ..... 8

MAINE CENTRAL RAILROAD.
Mr.. Dunn was elected President of this
road about two years ago, and is evidently
the right man in the right place. The prin-
cipal offices of the road are at the village,
where there is also car and engine manu-
factory, from which several of the best con-
structed and most elegant cars to be found
on any New England road, have recently
been turned out. Under its present judi
cious management the Maine Central is
gradually coming up along side of roads that
have been more fortunate. When the road
shall be extended from Danville Junction to
Portland, independent OF the Grand Trunk
the Somerset road built-the Dexter road in
operation-the Belfast road running across

Line completed nothing can prevent its being

SESATr.-After our report closed yesterday
Mr.. Anthony rose to q personal explain a liou.
and spoke of the illusions that had keen made
to his dining with the Clief Justice and tall
ing with him on impeachmeut He had con
siderable experiences In journalism, and was
willing to make all allowances; but there was
nothing that would justify such malign ant as.
sertions. He had not dined with the Chief
Justice this winter. nor had any talk with hin
on impeachment.
Mr.. Wiley expressed his utter contem pt for
newspaper paragraphs, and also denied, as due
TO MI Chase, the statements that he had dined
with him or conversed on Impeachment
Messrs. Van Wrinkle, F-sseuden, and John
son also denied the statements that thew had
dined with the Chief ustice. or had aay con
.versation with him on the subject of impsach.
ment.
The Senate then adjourned b.
HoUsR.-After our report closed

House of Represents who voted agains,
the impeachment of the President of the Tinted
States, be added by appointment of the Speaker
to the committee to investigate alleged cofrup,
practices to influence the votes Of Senators
upon the trial of the impeachment.
Mr. Butler moved to lay the resolution on
the table; which was agreed 70 by a vote of u
yeas 10 81 nays.
On motion Of Mr.. Banks, (Mass.) the Presi.
dent Of the United States was requested to In.

PRIZE FIGHTs.-These encounters, il seems,
will come of in spite of the enactment of strin-
gent laws in most of the States to prevent them.
The contest between Coburn and McCoole, for
the championship of America and a stake Of
$1,000, takes place to-day at some point in In
diana, not tar from Cincinnati, Ohio, probably
near Cold Spring Station, forty five miles
from Cincinnati. There Is much excitement
in the western cities over the contest. Bets
were made IN Cincinnati yesterday of one
thousand on MeCoole to four hundred against
Coburn- Abe. Hicken, champion light weight
Of England, and John Donovan, of Chicago,
will fight in the same ring as McCoole and
Coburn for sou.
