WAR SPLINTERS.

Verdun, where the Emperor is supposed
to be, is place of some 10000 inhabi-
tants, is fortified and has citadel. 1t was
once the place of detention for English
prisoners in the old Napoleonic wars. from
which now and then incredible escapes
were made, among others that of Sidney
Smith, the hero of Acre, who made his
way from the interior of France to the
seashore.
In the affair of Longueville on Sunday
the Emperor narrowly escaped being
killed or captured. 1t was merely re-
connoissance on the Prussian side, but was
conducted with incredible daring. They
pushed straight up to the imperial head
quarters and their presence was first an
nounced by cannon shots. The Prussian
bullets were whistling past the end of the
Emperors escort before they could get on
horseback, and nothing but the most pre-
cipita.e retreat saved him.

wnnld recommend much closer planting
s.y rs feet each way, which will give l35
trees to the acre--while trees planted 36
f.et each way will only give SO trees to the
acre. If properly cultivated they will
average the eighth year from one to two
barrels spples per tree--even at one barrel
each the difference would be over one hun
dred barrels per acre.
The trees will continue to bear in an ln-
creased ratio for ten or twelve years from
that time without being over-crowded.
Whenever that takes place. cut down
every alternate tree (not alternate row,
leaving the rows diagonally across the or
chard, and trees "a feet apart, and 12
trees in the orchard of one acre. The ad-
van:ages OF the plan suggested must be
apparent from the fact of having l35 trees
apainst 33 trees on the acre, bearing
equally we'll for about twenty years, when
one-half are removed, and the other half
will be in full bearing, and have ample
room without further reduction. Another
advantage of close planting is. that trees
protect each other from the wind. and,
therefore, much less fruit blows off. An
orchard planted in the way proposed, well
manured and cultivated, will yield rich
return.

The indications are that politicians will not
make Senator for Maine this year-the peo-
pie will make one for themselves. The effort
to elect Gov. Chamberlain, will call out the
sentiment of the people in advance, whose de-
cision (if it should depend upon those of this
section), will be for him who incurred the in
tense hatred of the Johnsonized Democracy,
by representing the Republicans of Maine in
that great Impeachment Trial, worthy to be
classed with other great trials in history. We
have not forgotten that day or the positions
of our Senators. Androscoggin will probably
initiate Cumberland county, and declare for
Hon. LOT NJ. MORRILL, for Senator.
At the Republican caucus holden in Minot

this meeting that Hon. Lot NJ. Morrill, be the
next Senator from Maine, and in the event of
the Senator question heing acted on in the com
ing convention thatt delegates be instructed
to further our wishes so far forth as possible.

A Washington correspondent says:
Great as is the interest taken in the Eu-

discussing the war and political situations,
and some of them have worked themselves
quite sick over the matter. NJ. Berthemy's
present illness. though generally attributed
to cholera morbus, is really what ought to
be called the cholera belli He has grown
sick and despondent over the news and is
said to anticipate with horror the possibili-
ty that he may be an exile from his belle
France. Berthemy is an imperialist, and
contemplates the situation of his sovereign
and country with the keenest anguish. On
the other hand, the Prussian and German
diplomats are inhigh spirits. Baron Gerolt
is quietly jubilant, congratulates his coun-
trymen in digniiied chuckle over the

A paragraph in this paper has already
announced the reception of Minister
Stevens at Montevideo. The following
remarks made upon the occasion will be
read with interest by Mr.. Stevens numer-
Gus friends in this State.
FROM THE BUENos AYREs STANDARD OF JULY l3.
THE HON. JOHN L. STEVENS.
In the interview last week between the
new American Minister and the Montevi-
dean Government, the following speeches
were exchanged. Mr.. Stevens said -
Mr.. PRESIDENT,
In presenting you my letter of credence as
the Minister Of the United States to the Gov
ernment of which you have the distinguished
honor of being the Executive head, l beg
leave to express the profound sympathy
which the people of the United States enter
tain towards the republics of South America,
and especially towards the republics of the
river Plate. The Republic of Uruguay oc-
cupies significant and important position; it
holds in its hands the natural key of advanta-
ges rarely equalled its fiourshing capital
stands as a commercial base Of one of the
most commanding rivers Of the continent and
cannot fail TO have an important future in
population and material wealth. Your rich
territory, salubrious climate, and valuable re-
sources promise the most advantageous re-
suits to the industry, resolution, and patriot
ism of your people. The republic of the
United States again extends to you her firm
hand of fellowship, and especially her earnest
desire to cultivate those relations of trade
which the affinities and interests of the two
countries plainly indicate. In the name of
forty millions of people now enjoying extra
ordinary unity and prosperity, ask you to
go forward with us in the grand march of re-
publican liberty, peaceful civilization, and
cheerful obedience to established principles Of
Justice and order, on which basis the best
hopes and interests of free people must al
ways rest.
Allow me, Mr.. President, to express to you
how grateful to me is the honor of entering
on personal relations with you and other Off
GERS of your Government, and to manifest to
you and to the citizens of Uruguay my pro-
found regards.
The President replied: -
| 81 receive most gladly the letters whereby
the President of the United States accredits
you as Resident Minister in this Republic
The United States lead the van in civilization
and progress, and command the warmest SYM
pathies of this Government. Both countries
are united by community of interests, by
analogy of constitution and by trade relations,
and my Government will be happy, through
you, to draw closer the friendly relations that
l wish to maintain with the President of the
United States. Your own enlightened char
acter, Mr.. Minister, is a guarantee to me that
you will faithfully interpret these sentiments
to the American Government"
Daily Kennebec journal., 1870-08-25
For County Treasurer,
OF THE GOEERN-
MENT

The Argus is not satisfied with the legit-
mate and unanswerable reply which we
made to its demand for reasons why the ex-
penditurcs of the Government are greater
than they were under President Buchanan.
1t does not like to be told that this is caused
by the democratic rebellion, because that
is an unpalatable truth. 1t knows as well
as we that the democratic party is respon-
sible for the debt and all the enlarged ex-
penditures occasioned by the rebellion,
but would shirk the fact if it could. We
do not wonder that it wishes to escape this
evidence of the deep wickedness Of lis
party, but it will take something more
than to cry "out damned spot" to make it
disappear.
Nevertheless dropping Tor the time the
great fact that all our debt and taxation
are due to the democratic party, we call
the attention of the Argus to the following
statement and comparison of expenditures
in Speaker Speaker Blaines Letter of Ac-
ceptance. which it has not probably seen,
but which is very much to the purpose.
After speaking of the reduction of taxation
which has taken place, and the efforts to
fund the debt and reduce the interest, Mr.
Blaine says:
Meanwhile the annual expenditures of the
government under the Administration
of Gen: Grant are reduced to the lowest prac-
ticable point. There are two large amounts of
expenditure over which Administrative dis
cretion can have no control The one is the
interest on the National Debt-the other is
the sum paid rs Pensions to the SCARED and
disabled veterans of our late war. These obli-
cations must be met with promptness and cheer
fulness unless we are prepared on the one
hand to repidiate our obligations to the men
who risked their lives and lost their health in
defense of .he government, or unless we are
ready on the other hand to treat the public
creditors with downright dishonesty and infiict
lasting disgrace on the name of our country.
Excluding these two items therefore as i'm
perstiye and not within the discretion of the
executive or legislative branch of the gov
ernmept, and we find the following as the
sum total of our expenditures for the current
nscal year
