One of our countrywomen-I have not
been able to learn her name-has attracted
particular attention. She is quite pretty
and is not averse to the publication of her
portrait in costume which reminds one
more of an Amazon than of an attendant

with dropping white plume; black
tunic confined at the waist, with var
nished leather belt and silver buckle, loose
black trowsers to the knee and Hessian
boots with gilt spurs. She has three horses
one for her own use, second for her
servant and third with her baggage and
medicine-chest.

LETTER FROM ST. STEPHENS, ". B

ST STEPHENS, n. B., Aug. 18th, 1870
DEAR JOURNAL: After our fishing excur-
sion last Saturday we took the steamer Lew
iston, commanded by the well known and
popular Captain Dcering, by which we arrived
at Machiasport a little past o'clock, touch
ing at Milbridge and Jonesport. Four miles
in coach brought us to Machias where we
stopped over the Sabbath. Machias is quite
business place of some fifteen stores, and
two public houses. The principal heavy
business is in lumber. We took ride out to
Whitneyville, small village, but one where
they cut out an immense amount of long as
well as short lumber. The usual quantity
cut out per year is ten millions of long lum-
Der, ten millions of clapboards and five hun
dred thousand shingles. They have rail
road to Machasport, seven miles upon which
the lumber is carried to be shipped. Fire
wood can be had for the trouble of hauling it
away. We should judge there were over fifty
thousand cords of four-foot edgngs thrown
out now that they would like out OF their
way.
Taking the stage we passed through East
Machias, four miles from Machias, a small
though apparently an active business place.
After a ride of Is miles, mostly through an I'M
even and uninhabited region, we find ourselves
where the noted Iron Works are situated.
From some cause or other these works have
not been kept in full operation the past sum
mer, but they are now starting up and doing
more business. After stage ride of ~ miles
we find ourselves in the ancient town of East
port, the most extreme eastern portion of
Maine, place where the tide rises and falls
80 feet They have just opened one of the
finest public houses in the country. Bust
ness seems quiet here. We here took the
steamer up the St. Croix to Calais, then
crossed the river to this place. Calais and
St. Stephens as to size and business, may well
be classed respectively with Gardiner and
Hallowell. This place was greatly built up
during our late war. The wharves on the
Calais side are covered with lumber, whereas
there is none on this side. The reason is, the
laws are that no lumber shall be shipped from
the Provinces without paying duty. This is
evaded by rafting it over to the American
side before it is shipped. We have just visit
ed and drank from a mineral spring here
which by good judges is pronounced equal to
many noted ones in the Middle States. 1t
only wants Yankee enterprise to bring it more
before the public. l am stopping at the
watson House" good house kept by live
Yankee, born in Vassalboro', Mr.. J. II. Rus
sell. The native inhabitants on this side are
about one hundred years behind Yankee GOA

marshals and by them filled up and forwarded
to the Census Office, from which they will be
transmitted to the Fifth Auditor for further
examination. One half the payment of claims
will be made at once, but the balance will be
reserved until it is ascertained that the amount
of appropriations made to take the census is
sufficient to cover the entire expenses. After
passing through the Fifth Auditors Office the
accounts will be transmitted to the First
Comptroller, and after undergoing this final
adjustment they will be reported back to the
Superintendent of Census in schedule FORM

UNITED STATES SENATOR.

The succession to the seat in the United
States Senate now occupied by Hon. Lot
NJ. Morrill, is agitated before the people of
Maine under new and peculiar circumstan-
ces. The right to do so is unquestioned,
but the propriety of distracting the party
by raising this issue in the manner in which
it is presented, just on the eve of the gene
raj election, is difficult to be seen We
should have been contented to have had
the question settled in the usual manner.

the republicans Of the State is sufficient to
settle it wisely, and deprecating anything
which would tend to divide or weaken
our strength in the pending canvass. when
the result of our election carries an in
fuence into other States. But the issue
is presented as it is, and must be met. If
the result affects unfavorably the general
vote, which we hope it may not, let the
responsibility rest where it belongs, upon
those who bring men from other States to
instruct us whom we shall elect United
States Senator, and who strive to sink all
questions Of State and local interest in a
purely personal and political contest. We
believe the republicans of Maine are COM
PeteHt to soiec; their owI Senators IN Con
gress without advice from abroad, and we
think there are other important questions
to be considered in the choice of Represen-
tatives and Senators in the Legislature be-
sides whe Their they are sworn partizans OF
this or that man. Ii there can be any
partizanship narrower than this we have
not seen it..
