NEW RAILROADS.

Notice of an intention to apply to the
Legislature for the charter Of a railroad from
Bangor to the line of the Belfast and Moose
head Lake Road, near Brooks, will be found
in another column. 1t is numerously signed
by our wealthiest and mostinfluential citizens,
and is the result of q new spirit that has been
recently infused into our people
A glance at the map will show the advan-
tageous situation which Belfast holds for the
construction of the line asked for. AT the
head of a bay which affords open navigation
the year round to a distance of nearly fifty
miles from the ocean toward the heart of the
State, what better location for i city to in
vite to itself the products of all the region
above which seek shipment? Our advan-
tages in that respect need no argument to be
made apparent. The region to the north and
east of us is being traverscd by railroads,
built or contemplated, all of which point to-
wards Bangor For nearly half the year
Bangor is sealed port. The accumulated
freight cannot remain therc-it must seek an
outlet. Belfast is the nearest and only avail
able winter shipping port for Bangor.
Twenty miles of railroad, over an easy route,
at a cost of 100000, will connect us with
Bangor, and secure this business. 1t is be-
lieved that the amount of freight and travel
over such a road would surprise the public
as much as have the same results on the
European and North American road. And it
is also believed that the means to build it can
be had. Our capitalists and business men
are ready to subscribe literally, rs is shown
by the signatures to the petition. If it is
necessary to put out 4 hundred thousand
dollars more, to increase the value of the road
we have now on our hands, our people arc
ready to do it.
This enterprise, together with the extern
sion of our present road across the Maine
Central, towards Skowhegan, where we have
already charter, will place Belfast in a
splendid position for business.

LETTER FROM BOSTON.
Fair in Aid Of New England Womens and
ChIdren's HosptaI--A Pleasant Reporter.


BosToN, Dee. 10, 1870.
The chief attraction of the week in Boston,
has been the Fair in Aid of New England
Women's and ChildrenS Hospital. IIorti-
cultural Hall, so well known in connection
with previous fairs, has been the favored
spot And into its bright, spacious rooms,
IN eager throng has passed. from the early
hours of Monday last up to the present time
of writing. The Hospital in question is To-
Gated in this city, at the junction Of Warren
ton and Pleasant streets, and is, as its name
indicates, an institution designed especially
for the accommodation of the sick women
and children of New England, who are in
want of care and medical treatment which
they cannot receive at home. For eight
years this Hospital has been quietly working
its way, until its usefulness has become so
wide spread and so generally felt as to re-
qurc larger and more commodious buildings
To raise money to supply this want was the
object of the Fair, which closes tonight. 1t
has been under the management of such gen
tlcmen rs Hon. Alex. Rice, Gen. Charles G.
Loring and Col. Russell; and such ladies as
Mrs. c. T. Tilton. Mrs. Hooper and Mrs.
Peabody. With such galaxy Of noted
philanthropists to forward its interests, it
could hardly fail of success, and the returns,
it is said, have been highly satisfactory. The
lower hall was devoted to retreshmcnt tables
exclusively, with the exception of one even
ing when Mr.. Hall gave a stereopticon cxhi
bition of his Arctic Views" In the upper
hall, where Gilmorc's Band discoursed sweet
music each evening, were the various articles
for sale. These were very prettly and taste
fully arranged on y series Of long tables,

The letter of Admiral Porter to Secretary
Welles, written during the war, which some
one copied from the files of the department
and sent to the World, creates great amuse-
ment. 1t is a trenchant and scathing record
of some of the Presidents characteristics,
written before he became President
But nobody expected the abiect letter to
Grant which the publication has drawn out
from Porter. The Admiral is a talented
a man of resources and the most
bravery. But he wrote to the
President most humiliating letter of apollo
gy and explanation. Better q thousand
times have braved the Presidential displeas-
ure and let the matter pass in silence. Even
the New York Tribune says-''A schoolboy
could not have been driven into such cring-
ing remorse by the brandishing of birch.
The letter is insufferable, and its details in
tolerable."

we are stopped in the full tide of financial
rejoicing by the declaration that without the
aid of poor, weak, impoverished San Do
mingo, it is extremely doubtful whether the
debt can be paid at all! Verify, our Presi-
dental weather-cock does indulge in strange
antics
The most singular argument IN favor of
this measure is that it will ''make slavery in
supportable in Cuba and Porto Rico at once,
and ultimately so in Brazil" When it is re-
membered how pertinaciously the Presiden-
tial policy has turned the cold shoulder to the
Cuban revolutionists, on the ground of tender
regard for the rights Of Spain, this cool pro-
position to set up an abolition underground
railroad at her doors, avowedly to force the
abandonment of slavery, has queer aspect
The patriots of Cuba proclaimed emancipa-
ton, with their lives in their hands, but Their
boldness met with no sympathy from Presi-
dent Grant, who now proposes to transfer
this government into gigantic niger steal
ing machine. Its operations are to extend as
far as Brazil, government that has already
taken the preliminary steps toward complete
emancipation. The Emperor has freed the
slaves owned by the government, and his
policy is to free the whole gradually. The
official paper recently set forth that before
1900 slavery would have ceased to exist. by

There is pervading belief among we'll in
formed persons that this San Domingo bust
ness conceals a big job, out of which Presi-
dental favorites are to make large amounts
of money, if it succeeds. 1t is already as
serted that the paper currency of San Do
mingo, which is almost valueless, has been
brought up largely by those in the ring, with
the expectation that its redemption will be
provided for. Also that certain snug real es-
tate speculations and shrewd swindles are
in the programme, originated and promoted
by reciprocal sooty patriotism at San Domin-
60 and Washington.
Mr.. Sumner, who, as chairman OF the

Conklin of New York, a special friend of the
