STATE NEWS.
Jan. sd,

The Bath Times says that on account of
the river being filled with floating ice, the
ferry boat could not cross the river on her
usual trips, and the eastern stages due in that
city at II A. NJ, did not aarive until z. NJ.
The Bath Times says that yesterday fore
noon, as Mr.. Higgins was driving over the
railroad crossing on Water street, the horses
shoe caught in the track throwing the horse
down, in which position he fortunately re-
manned quiet, otherwise he must have been
seaiously injured. As it was, his hoof was
somewhat started, and it was necessary to
break a rail before the animal could be ex-
tricated.
The Bath Times says that the annual meet
ing of the Boothbay Mutual Fishing Insur-
ance Company, was holden at the Secretary's
office on the 18th inst, and made choice of
the following officers for the ensuing year -
Pres: dent, Robert Montgomery; Secretary
NJ. X. White; Treasurer, Allen Lewis. Rob
ert Montgomery, Joseph Nickerson, John Nc
Clintock, and Q. A. Dunton were chosen a
Board of Directors. The amount of liabili-
ties against the Company for the past year
has been less than one mill per cent. on the
stock subscribed.
The Camden Herald says storekeeper
"not a thousand miles" from Rockport, has
been very much excerised about the rats
which infested his premises in large numbers,
and has kept loaded pistol for their especial
benefit. Recently seeing a fine specimen of
the rodent race feeding at the pigs trough in
the rear of the store, he called the attention
of several customers who were present to the
fact, seized his flrearm and discharged its
contents at his ratship. An unearthly por-
cine squeal soon informed the storekeeper
that he had missed his mark, but had shot his
half grown pig, which was quietly snoezing
in another part of the pen. Poor piggy's in
juries were so irremedial that he had to be
slaughtered, all unprepared as he was for his
fate. The pistol has been laid aside for the
present.

ployment BY their quick and frequent
passages steamers Of the same capacity
can perform n great deal more transpor-
tation in u given time than sail vessels,
and thus reduce the tonnage needed to do
the carrying. Their certainty as well as
despatch favors them, and year by year we
find them increasing in our coast and river
trade, and gradually pushing aside the
slower craft that depends upon winds and
tide for propulsion.
The prospect for shipbuilding in Maine
under these circumstances Is not very
cheering Even should Congress remove
every duty and tax that weighs upon the
business, there is no probability that it
will again hold the place in our indus
tries that it formerly held. AS a leading
interest its day is past, and they will be
wise who recognize the fact and cease to
waste their energies in undertaking to
build it again upon the old and superseded
system. 1t has taken some time for ship
builders to see and accept the situation
but stubborn facts are difficult things to
encounter and will have their way sooner
or later. With numbering becoming less
and less every year, and shipbuildng in Il
decline, there is imperative necessity that
all feasible and legitimate means be en-
ployed to sustain agriculture and manu-
features, the two great resources upon
which the State is ultimately to rely for
prosperity. Events are rapidly carrying
away from US some OF our main supports,
let us see to it that we do not fail to grasp
the others within our reach. and make the
most of them that our condition will al
low.

To the Editor Of the Journal
Joannes short time since had occasion to
speak of RUNS doings and the murders in his
town (that little boHrg). and determined TO
tell the truth rather than bolster up a wrong
was necessarily compelled to pat the blade
into the democratic party up to where it says,
'Rogers & Son." and hence the rery literary
editor, (anguis in herbal of the Standard
pours out his yials of stimulated wrath upon
the head of the rustic and unlettered'
Joannes. 1t is tabled that when the bosom of
the nightingale is pressed against a thorn she
sings her sweetest melodies. In his effort to
initiate the songster, this fellow with the
barbed arrow already in his breast attempts
to MARBLE in his last issue an etiusion of bill
linsgate which he fancies is democratic melody
Were he not a wounded duck why does he
keep up his weekly quacking? He has rae
spot somewhere that is badly irritated. Strip
the plumage from the buzzard and you fix him
to the ground, -take rum from his party and
it has lost its vocation.

to Zeno, dance through his composition in all
the maze of metaphorical confusion. Let
some school boy show him his Latin grammar,
and his mental vision, if he has any, may
be enlightened so that without an h he
may in the future be enabled to spell Joaaaes.
One can hardly tell which to admire most in
this masked writer. his vascillating cow
ardice or his proneness 10 sting himself to
death-he ,hrusts his dagger in the dark and
ihzn skuIks behind his own shadow. In at
tempting to break lance with him, one is
just as likely to wing a campaign turkey, hit

saloon, Of slavery or the southern rebellion.
But softly. Il is said that contempt has the
property of descending, but it will stop far
short of reaching this Ajax of modern democ-
racy. Cease. viper, you bite against file.

The BLUE RIDGE RAILROAD. We are
requested by one of the association who
recently purchased the State stock Of
the Blue Ridge Railroad, to state that
the interest OF citizens of the State,
united With the newly elected City Coun-
Gil Of Charleston, will control the cleo
tion Of directors next November, at the
annual meeting of stockholders, at which
time the term of the present Board Of
Directors will expire. Gentlemen will
then be elected who will press the road
to completion. The bonds can only be
used to build the road and pny its debts,
and under the new association aud di-
rectors this will be vigorously pushed
forward.
MIR. Cameron was requested by Prcsi-
dent Harrison and Mr.. Steers to act as
trustee. and accepted the trust. to get
the bonds out OF the hands of tho New
York courts, where they had been en-
joined, 80 that Mr.. Steers might prose
cute his contract in building the road.

Much has been said about the murder
Of the colored preacher, Lewis Thomp-
son, and the officers Of our CountyahaYe
been severely censured because no III
Quest WAS held on his body after IL was
discovered in the-river. OF course the
white Kn Klux have been accused of
being the murderers, but we are impelled
to believe that he met. his death at the
hands of men Of his own race. He was
very unpopular among them. He pre-.
tended to believe TINT it iwas q sin for q
preacher to work.. and as those lie
preached to were not able to support
him. it was q mystery to all how he OBJ
tained living; but he attempted ito I'M :
press upon the minds of the oolored
people the idea that preacher, was en-
titled to great privileges with the
wives and daughters Of Tie mem
bers of his church, and attempted to
carry out this Internal doctrine. Many
OF the colored men had become greatly
incensed ut him, md we ore not alone in
snpposing that. no white man had any
thing to do with killing him. We have
inquired of the former Coroner and
every Trial Justice of this County why
no inquest was held. and each one de-
clares that no notice had ever reached
them, except through the Columbia
Uniom, that the body had been found.
