MIR. Fcssendcn and Secretary stanton.

MIR. EDIToR,-It is we'll known by every
body who knows anything about the personal
relations of public men, that Mr.. Fessenden
and Secretary Stanton have long been ON
terms of warm friendship. That quaint but
obseryant philosopher, the late Count Gurow-
ski, used to couple their names significantly in
speaking OF the phalanx of genuine patriots,
Wade, Grimes, Fessenden, Stanton, Wilson,
Chandler &C." When Mr.. Fessenden reluc-
family accepted the portfolio resigned by Mr..
Chase, Gurowski exulted in an unspeakable
confusion of dialects because at last another
man had been forced into the cabinet to sup
port the Secretary of War. L was myself
cured some time since of hasty and unjust
prejudice against Secretary Stanton by Mr..
Fessendens calm enumeration of his sterling
virtues and signal services. 1t is not to be
doubted that the position of apparent antag-
onism to his friend which Mr.. Fessenden was
compelled to assume in rendering his verdict
Oh tne ARTICLES OF lmpeachment,was taken with
sincere and painful regret The inconsistency
which some affect to discover between this re.
greet and the verdict which occasioned it, arises
apparently from incapacity to conceive of a
judge deciding frankly and honestly against
his friend, who with the best intention happens
to be in the wrong.
The picture which appears in to-day's Press
of Stantons fearful characterization, his war
like preparations and gloomy determination
to defend the War Office or kill somebody is
done in Sylvanus Cobb's best vein IF that
eminent novelist should undertake to write
tale of horror entitled the Beleaguered War
Office, or the Secretary on his Muscle" doubt
whether his darkest conception of the infuriate
stanton would surpass the vivid presentment
which brings him before us holding the War
department "by mere brute force-by the
NAKED payonet and loaded rifle" and savagely
pen1 Oh adding some new specimens" to his
"coiiecuon of defunct conspirators.
AS the transaction belongs to history and
not to romance, and was BROUGHT in a Main
matter of-fact way before the Senate during
the impeachment trial, hope YOU will oblee
me by publishing the following extracts from
the testimony of a witness who had an excel-
lent opportunity to observe Secretary STAN
tons temper; mean General Lorenzo Thorn
as. Here is their first interview:
He got up when 1 came in, and we babe
good morning to each other, and handed him
the paper. He opened it and read it, and then
saiu, DO you wish me to vacate the office at
onoe, VI VIII you give me time TO remove my
private property" 1 said, Act your pleas

BATEMAN's OPERA BOUFFE.-The appear
ance of the great Opera Bouffe company of
ii. l.. Bateman on the 22d and 23d of this
month, in this city, will be an event in the his
tory of amusements that should not be over
looked by any person who is interested in the
prosperity and growth of our community
Public amusements are as vital to city as
pure air or wholesome water, and they who
give tone to and direct public taste perform an
excellent service for society when they intro
duce and sustain the best forms of art. The
great reputation that Mr.. Bateman has
achieved as a director of public amusements
has been greatly enhanced by his importation
from Paris of the company of operate artists,
who have for year past been giving ola
Grande Duchesse" and LA Belle Helene" in
New York and several other large cities. Hav-
ing taken pains to learn the facts, we find
that, including Mile. Tostee, Mile. Fleury
Longchamps, Messrs. Guffroy, Leduc, Du-
chesne, Lagriffoul, Benedick, Voter, and
other principals, there is large chorus of fifty
voices, admirably drilled, capable of giving the
concerted music of the operas to be represent
ed here with as much effect on the composer
Ofenbach himself could desire. This forms
a portion of the attraction. The costumes
are so brilliant and effective in shape and col
ors that they are "a beauty and joy" and the
merits of the music are now so well known
throughout the civilized world that it is scarce
ly necessary to discourse upon them. When
Mr.. Bateman arrives in this city we trust that
he will find that there is a community here
fully alive to the enterprise in which he is en-
gagged and capable of completely apppreciat-
ing the high character OF his operate entertain
ment.

be arranged they will hear it,

Rev. DIR. PATTEN, editor of the Chicago Ad-
vance, the new Congregational organ, thus
pleasantly alludes to Governor Hawley, in the
course of an article on the Chicago Conven-
ton: W.
How could any one doubt the overruling
Providence of God, or fail to be thanked for
His blessing upon the eau Sc of freedom and
Union? Joyfully yet solemnly did this thought
come home to us personally, when the conven.
ton placed in the chair ex-Gov. Hawley, of
Connecticut, who made an admirable presid-
ing officer. The wings of memory carried us
back twenty years to our youthful pastorate at
Hartford, and the .anti-slavery struggles in
Church and State then in progress; to the time
when we preached from the pulpit, and Mr..
Hawley responded from the choir; when in
his office, we talked over the prospects of our
little despised Liberty Party" or went forth
together to attend its meetings The young
ambitious lawyers of the city laughed at their
friend Joe" for linking his fortunes to such
hopeless and fanatical minority; just as the old
ecclesiastics pited us, his pastor, for similar
folly! The times have changed.

PLEAsANT.-In the rear of Clark on the
eastern side of Spring street, is pond of stag
nant water, covering about half an acre, which
is now of beautiful green shade and orna-
mented with drowned cats, old shoes, rotten
potatoes and rubbish of every description.
When the wind is favorable the people in that
vicinity are visited by an odor from this beau
tiful watering place, that must, now it is COM
ing warm weather, add much to the yigor of
life and work wonderful cures by causing some
of the blind to see, and by restoring those who
have lost their sense of smelling. Our health
officer "viewed the landscape Ger" the other
day and he thought it was luxury that those
who dwell in that vicinity could do without;
but where else could Portlands favorite vocal
ists-the cats-fnd suitable resting place.

AN ENERGETIC LITTLE LADY-Miss Alice
Witham of this city, maiden of twelve years,
having in her disposition vein of benevolence
which has to be worked mainly on small
currency and copper basis, recently conceived
the idea of getting up theatrical entertain
ment to furnish herself with funds for her
charities. The pretty pantomime of Cinderella
was the piece she decided to bring out. So
she collected troupe of somedozen or fifteen
performers, hunted up costumes, borrowed the
use of a small hall in Exchange street, herself
making all the arrangements and drilling the
company; and yesterday afternoon the per-
Torrance came off in the presence of highly
select and appreciative audience. 1t was tri-
umphant success. All the parts were well
taken, and the performers acquitted them
selves admirably. After the pantomime songs
and tableaux were given, one of which, ''The
Prayer for Bread" was so affecting as to draw
tears from the audience.
What were the proceeds of the exhibition
we are not informed; but we are assured that
the same energetic little manageress not long
since brought out in similar manner a little
drama, written by herself, from the represen-
dollars. This money was used to purchase a
gravestone for the child of poor washer
woman, who had not the means to pay for it
herself.
LOCAL ITEMs.-A malignant tumor beneath
the ear and under jaw, deep in the muscles OF
the neck, was successfully removed from Mr..
Gustavus Pickett of this city, on Monday, by

Chebeague and Orrs Islands, in Casco Bay
The mails are tri-weekly.
There is a soft streak running through the
aeste esions tho-vhelo- Svater front OF the city
where piles find no bottom, and builders find
it very troublesome. Sturdivants new wharf
has slumped in and the flats outside of it have
bulged up in such way as to make an expen.
sive job.
The funeral of the late Benz F. Nelson was

SENATORS FROM THE SoUTH.-The Wash
ington correspondent of the Syracuse journal
fA1I


ington correspondent of the Syracuse journal
writes as follows:
1t is understood here that the Senators from
South Carolina will be DR.. Mackey of Charles
ton and Colonel Robinson of Columbia, or a
young lawyer from the western part of the
State-a Mr.. Russell. In North Carolina,
General Abbott of Wilmington, formerly of
New Hampshire, will be one Senator, and
General Dougherty. a native of the State,
probably the other. In Georgia, Foster Blod-
gett of Augusta, will in all probs bility be one
of the Senators, and considerable fears are felt
that the other may be the x-Rebel-Governor,
Joseph G. Brown. Colonel HI. P. Farrow and
j. I. Deming, both sterling men, are running
against him. Ia Florida, Colonel Osborne
is to be elected for the longer term, and it is
believed Colonel Hart, a native of the State,
and always Radical Unionist, will be the
other. In Louisiana Judge Durell is the most
likely to be elected. Thomas j. Durant who
was compelled TO leave the State after the
New Orleans massacre, has recently returned
He will be a candidate.
