Letter from Salem.

SALEM, NOV. L, 1863.
T1 the Editor of the Press:
Behold "ye local" sojourner among the
Salemites, in the town immortalized by Haw-
thorne and innumerable other authors of
lesser note. In fact, Salem has been so thor
oughly written up that we do not propose to
undertake the task anew, but simply to give a
little sketch of some matters of interest in the
town and its environs, which are of recent
date, and also our impressions of the grand
Thomas Orchestral Concert which we had
the pleasure of listening to on Saturday night
in Boston.
Friday afternoon we went up to the Pea
body Institute to see the portrait of Queen
| Victoria presented to Geo. Peabody, ESQ.,, by
| her Majesty. Peabody, our readers will re-
| member, was formerly called South Danvers,
| but, IN consequence of the munificent gifts of
the great banker, the inhabitants decided to
change the name ont OF regard for him. The
horse cars take you easily and pleasantly to
inc door of the building, three mile ride.
me Institute is of brick, two stories and a
nan IN helght, with stone trimmings to the
WinuoWs' and Is quite an imposing ediice,
being some one hundred and TWENTY-FIVE feet
long by forty-ive wide. These are not the
exact figures, but we are very nearly correct.
| On entering side door you find yourself in
the library, a room which occupies the whole
of the lower floor and contains some 1900
volumes. At one end of this room is large
safe built into the wall, over the top of which
is marble tablet, stating that it contains the
portrait of her Majesty, which was presented
by Mr. Peabody to the Trustees of The Insti-
tute to hold in safe keeping for himself. BY
conditions made by Mr.. Peabody, man has
to keep guard over this safe night and day,
the safe itself being constructed in the strong
est manner, and equal to any known bank
safes. The portrait is most exouisitelv enam-
elled, and with the aid of large maenfvino
glass, which is presented to you, its rare deli.

But five weeks remain before the magnates
OF Rome assemble in council at the Vatican.
Papal politics are now invested with special
interest. The attitude Of Austria, Italy and
other papal powers on the Continent towards
the policy OF the Pope as indicated by his pro-
posed syllabus cannot be mistaken. The DOS
ture OF Pere Hyacinthe and other opponents
OF Ult1amontanism are strikingly significant.
The voices of DolIinger and Dupanloup. with
others OF equal weight, are not to be easily
hushed into tame and servile acquiescence.

The election of Hon. Lot M. Morrill, to fill
the vacancy in the q. S. Senate occasioned by
the death OF Senator Fessenden, will meet
with the appreciation Of the Republican party
of the State and commend the respect of all
parties, as an appointment eminenty fit to be
made. Indeed, so far as the Republican par
ty is concerned, we think they were in mood
to be satisfied with any appointment the Gov
ernor might make, since the list of those
prominently mentioned in connection with
the place was made up of all good men and
true, of whose ability there could be no cues
ton, and against whose appointment it would
have been hard to raise valid objection.
1t was thought at first that several gentle
men supposed to be candidates for the full
term, would at once enter the field and en-
deavor by securing the appointment to anti
cipate matters for the future, but it soon became
apparent that they did not propose to COM
pete either for the appointment or for the
election to till the balance of the term, but
rather to await the expiration of Mr.. Fessen
den's term, which course would enable the
people to canvass the merits of the several APP
plicants and indicate with certainty upon
whom they desired the honor to fall.
When it became apparent that the matter
was to be simplfed by the forbearance of the
friends of this class tourge an appointment, it
was thought that the Governor might compli-
ment some citizen not supposed to be ambitious
of further political distinction, VIII ich SUPPOSE
ton naturally enough call, d attention to such
gentlemen as Hon. VIM. Willis and Hon. John
B. Brown, of this city, and Hon. Marshall
Crlm and President Harris, of Brunswick.
either of whom would have faithfully and ably
re9resented the people and been acceptable to
the Republicans of the State. But in some
mysterious way it sometime since came to be
understood that the choice lay between our
distinguished fellow citizen Gen. Shepley and
Hon. Lot M. Morrill,, of Augusta. The ae-
kaowledged ability of Gen. Shepey, taken in
connection with the fact that he was an early
and devoted friend of he Governors, inclined
many to the belief that he was to be the for
tunate man, and we presume this would have
been the case, but for the intense feeling in
favor of Mr. Morrill,, caused by the fact that lie
wa defeated last winter, which feeling mani
fe ted itself in innumerabIe appeals in his be-
half from all parts OF the State, and must have
had decisive influence upon the mind of the
Governor.
or Mr.. Morrill's fitness for the position there
can be but one opinion, and that there is, in
view ofthe pas "a certain degree OF felicity in the
appointment is unques iiorabe. We presume
there will be no opposition in the Republican
ranks to his election to ill the balance of the
term, and we shall, therefore, be spared the
excitement OF Senatorial contest until at
least the winter of 1871
