Letter from Ellsworth.
Correspondence of the Journal.

ELLSWORTH, Apr. 10th, 1869.
Every vestige Of winter has now disappeared
from our borders, and spring is really here.
The birds have returned, and on these sunny
April mornings are giving free concerts for the
benefit Of all early risers. The ice blockade is
removed, and Union river, swele1 to unusual
size by the melting SHOWS is @'rolling rapidly"
on its course to the sea. The shrll whistle
of the tow-boat, as 1t brings up long line of
waiting vessels, proclaims that navigation is
open; and on the first day fifteen vessels came
up the river to load with lumber some of them
from Boston and Portland, containing goods to
replenish the somewhat reduced stocks of our
merchants. Cut off as we are for months,
from communication by sea with the outside
world, the breaking up Of the ice is an event
not to pass uunotced
The teams have all come out of the woods,
having made an unusually good winters work.
The return of these forest crews, is marked BY
sudden increase Of that kind of population
that delights to lounge about the steet corners,
and along the railing Of the bridge; and whose
ideas Of decorum, are not always of the most
approved kind. The strong arm Of the law,
has sometimes to be called in, to repress their
too exuberant spirits. The closing of the liquor
shops this spring, however, has had a good eff
feet in preserving order and quiet.
The new city government came into power
this week. The Mayor was inaugnrated on
Monday and Immediately after, the City Coun-
Gil was organized, They have been industri-
ously at work, during the week, filling the sub
ordinate offices, and setting the machinery of
the government in running order. City laws

ment on the old order Of things, in a manufac-
turing or numbering place like this, where there
is 50 large floating population Of irresponsi-
Bile people, who care nothing for the interests
of the community.
The mills will commence operations as soon
as the river has become little lower, which
will probably be In few days, or week at
the most.

Arnold and Spangler at Home.

WASHINGTON. ADrlI I.
Arnold and Spangler the two remaining as
sassination conspirators pardoned by President
johnson, have returned home; the former to
Baltimore aud Spangler to this city. Arnold
appears in rather delicate health but Spangler
is well, and both seem in good spirits. They
are set free after three years and eight months
Imprisonment. After their trial and sentence
they reached the Dry Tortugas with DR.. Mudd,
their late fellow prisoner, and OLaughli'n who
died during Imprisonment on the lth of July,
1865, and were released on the 22d of March.
1869. Both Arnold and Spangler reply readily
to queries concerning their Imprisonment, and
the treatment they received from the different
commanders Of the post. During the season
OF the fearful rage of the yellow fever in 1867,
at the fort, they state that after nearly all the
troops had been attacked, and either recovered
or died, DR.. Mudd who had so faithfully and
advantageously labored among the sick, was
taken down with the disease, and there being
no medical man left fit for duty, was nursed
solely by themselves, his only remaining COM
panion, OLaughlin, having previously died
During its prevalence there were thirty sew
en- deaths in that limited community; two of
them were prisoners and the balance officers
and soldiers. Arnold was employed as clerk
at headquarters, and Spangler as carpenter
and both, at times, were compelled to work
very hard. After their release they left the
Tortugas in a Government sailing vessel and
went over to Key West where they remained
several days awaiting the arrival of the Cuba.
and were treated in the kindest manner by the
citizens. Of the terrible ordeal of their trial
under the circumstances by which they were
surrounded, Spangler says that from the tor
lures he endured he was mostly unconscious
Of the proceedings in the case, and often knew
nothing Of what was going on around him.
When the padded hood was placed upon his head
in prison, covering over his eyes and frightened
about his chest, with manacles already on both
hands and feet, he was told it was by order
of Secretary Stanton, the subordinate thus ex-
cusing himself for his action.
After arriving at the fort, and up to the time
OF his release, Spangler AYERS that the sense of
his entire innocence only made his chains more
calling, while at the same time it often kept
him from utter despair

Payment of Soldiers Bounties.

NEW YORK, April 10.
The Tribune's special Washington dIsnatcb
says;
The Senate has passed the Joint resolution ~
Mr.. Wilson for the protection of soldiers and
their heirs
The resolution provides that bounties shall
be paid or sent by the agents Of the Govern
ment direct to the soldiers or the heirs entitled
to them, without the Intervention of claim
agents.
There is little prospect that the measure will
pass the House, owing to the pressure of more
important business. The latter body may, how
ever, consider it without reference to the mill
tary committee, in which case 1t will undoubt-
eddy pass.

Brutal Murder.

BINGHAMToN, N. Y, April -.
This morning Mr.. Warren Blanchard was
found dead in his house in this CITY, The usu-
al inmates, consisting of his wife and two
girls had fled, and the affair is involved in mys-
terry. All the doors and windows were fasten-
ed from the inside, except one from which the
woman and girls escaped. His head was found
in 4 brass kettle, and bore marks of pistol
ball. Nothing is known of the matter except
that the neighbors heard disturbance at
O'Clock yesterday morning, and the report OF
pistol, when man ran out of the house, and
the noise ceased. AS the house was classed as
disorderly, no attention was paid to the pro-
ceedings. The woman before leaving cleared
away all traces of blood, and there are no in
dications how the deed was performed.

render assistance. The San Francisco Stock
and Exchange Board have subscribed thous-
aud dollars and sent the money by TELEGRAPH
to Gold Hill, for the relief of the families suf
terlng from the Confagration The catastro.
phc is the most terrible that has ever occurred
IN the mining districts of this country.
SECOND DISPATCH
SAN FRANCISCO, April s. The confederation
at tle Gold Hill mines is still raging 1t ap-
pears to be confined principally to the Yellow
Jacket drift, owing to the care which has been
taken to prevent its spreading. The flremen
are unable to subdue the flames, but efforts are
BENG made to close the drift, which will prob
ably occupy all day. Eighteen bodies have
been taken from the burning mines. nine of
them from one drift. The Yellow Jacket com

Tins are being removed from the different

The fire would be entirely subdued before morn

Among the passengers on the Boston boa I
which arrived here yesterday morning was an
old woman 81 years of age, dressed in black
and shaking with the intrmties Of age. She
was in charge of the City Marshal of Gardiner,
in this State, who was taking her back to that
city. They left on the morning train over the
Kennebec road. The charge on which she was
arrested,swe learn, is that of numbering her
husband. Suspicious circumstances arose at
the time of his death and post mortem eX-

poisoned, but his wife had previously left the

The Spanish Captain General is raising
a muss for himself, as sure as the world.
A dispatch from Havana, dated the 10TH
has the following
The Spanish man-of-war Cotolna, to-day
overhauled the American brig Lizzie Major,
ten miles from Caibairin, and took from her
two Of her passengers. Both persons taken
were provided with passports and had embark
ed at Havana.
This searching of American vessels on
the high seas and taking persons from
them, will never do. When it was assert
ed by this country, in the case of Mason
and Slidell, we had to recede from the po-
sition, and place the prisoners back on
board a British ship Of war. The flag
covers and protects the vessel and all on
board, and the Spaniards had no more right
to seize persons on board that vessel than
to kidnap them in the streets of New York.
If the President does his duty, he will COM
pei the authorities to set them at liberty.
