AUGUSTA, Nov. IA, 1871
To the Editor of the Press:
A bright and peculiar STAR in the Bangor
Wing has endeayored ''by his much speaking
to cast contempt upon my former statement Ii
might have been possible that the gentleman
"acting for the land office" was not present
bodily when the deed was drawn up, but Gov'
Chamberlain in his statement OF the conditions
under which the deed was given, proves the
presence at least, in his spiritual form, OF the
ex-oficial who signed the schedule from the
land agents office quote from Ex-Governor
Chamberlain letter to the argus:
Will you please to inform your readers, first,
That the Governors deed could not convey any
thing not granted by the Legislature. Second,
That the same authority required the Governor
to give a deed. Third, That the compliance of
the company with the provisions of the law en-
titling them to the deed was made a matter of
rigorous investigation by the Governor and
Council. Fourth, That the description given
in the deed followed strictly schedule from
the land agents office, purporting to include
the lands coming within the effect of the grant;
and in order to guard against any difficulty ars-
| ing from possible mistake in so extended an
| enumeration, a clause was appended to the deed
| expressly limiting the conveyance to those
| lands, and no others, intended to be conveyed
| under the acts and resolves referred to. Fifth,
That after the deed thus carefully drawn had
received the unanimous approval of the Coun.
Gil, it was not then executed and delivered until
| it had been submitted to the thorough scrutiny
| of the Attorney General of the State, and by
him pronounced correct
This schedule was not prepared, as learn
by MI. Bnrleigh, but by a gentleman in his alb
sence, and signed, ''for the Land Office, -
-" 1t has never been intimated that Gov
Chamberlain or the Council, OF the Land Agen
did otherwise than their full duty. Perhaps
the gentleman who made this schedule had the
right to do SO; undoubtedly he had right tt
think that all the lands in Maine were his pri
vate property, if any of the rumors are true
that are rife. JOSEPH

REGENT Publications.

Tonofellow has executed this year what
might be called a flank movement on the chron-
iclers of events in the literary world by publish
ing absolutely without previous announcement
his new poem, The Divine Tragedy. 1t is ''the
old, old story" of the life, sufferings and death
of Christ arranged in the form of drama,
something like the old mysteries" or the pas
sion plays that even now are represented on
the stage in some parts of Europe. The words
of scripture are used with little alteration to
suit metrical requirements. The prologue or
introitus as the poet somewhat affectedly calls
it, represents the angel bearing the prophet
Habakkuk through the air, and announcing to
him the advent Of the Redeemer. The drama
proper is divided into three parts, the scenes of
the first being those preceding the first Pass
over, and the other two having corresponding
relation to the second and third Passovers-
The epilogue is the Apostles Greed, reclted by
the disciples, to each of whom sentence oi
that celebrated confession Of faith is assigned.
The well known stanzas beginning blind bar
timeus at the gates" are embraced IN one OF
the scenes Int the rest of the poem is entirely
new Tho scrinture narrative is closely follow
| ed in most cases, but the presentation of the
mental condition of Mary Magdalene and Judas
Iscariot is new and strkingly original This
sacred drama will no doubt be one of the most
successful of Mr.. Longfellow's later works. ~.

Winter wisdom.

Warm clothing alone will not protect the body
against the consequences of the sudden depression Of
temperature which is concomitant of carly winter.
Flannel next the skin preserves the animal heat but
it does not mpart animal vigor That property is the
special prerogatve Of Hostetters Stomach Bitters,
which is therefore specific protection against ma
jority Of the complaints which are most common at
this season. For example, course of the great veg
etable invigorant, commenced now, will be almost
sure to preclude chills aud fever bilious collie disor
ders Of the stomach, constipation, and many other
complaints which often the direct indirect ef-
feet Of atmosphere surchargcd with cold unwhole-

lated by this means is much likely to resist pull
monary disease than 1t would otherwise be; for the
influence of searching medicine pervades all the
gans and every fibre and tissue Of the frame. Per-
sons whose vital powers are weak, especially invalid
ladies and the aged are earnestly recommended not
to face the winters rgor without having recourse to
this safe and sufficient of enforcing enfeebled

RAILROAD Misunderstanding the past
season there has been quietly prosecuted an en-
terprise of some magnitude in a neighboring
direction. The Portsmouth, Great Falls and
Conway Railroad has been extended forty miles,
from Union Village, N. H., to Conway, to
which place an engine ran over the new track
on Friday last. Thus complete railway con-
necton is made direct from Bostonto theWhite
Mountain region. This line may be considered
a branch from the Eastern Railroad, leaving
the main line at Brooks Crossing, sixty-seven
miles from Boston, and passing through the
villages of Salmon Falls, Great Falls and Roch-
ester, to Union Village, ninety-three miles
from Boston; thence the new part extends for
ty miles, passing through the towns of Wake
field, Ossipee, the county-seat,. TamwOrth,
Madison, to Conway The work was commenc-
ed late in November of last year, and has been
prosecuted with great vigor under contract
miles of railroad built and the rails laid is an
achievement not often attempted or accomplish
ed in New England in about twelve months
Something over a million yards of material
having been moved in that time. The engineer
of this line is T. Willis Pratt. Esq, who has
for several years been attached to the Eastern
Railroad, and built for it the bridge at Newbu-
IMPORT and lately superintendent our Broadway
bridge, ETC., etc With such an engineer in
their employ it is to be hoped that the Eastern
Railroad will not halt at Conway, but prose-
cute the enterprise through the Pinkham Notch,
past the Glen House, under the shadow of
Grand Trunk line, thus making connection
with Montreal more than thirty miles shorter
than by way of Portland. This line will be
sure to take very large amount of travel, pass
ing as it does through the most magnificent
scenery of New England.-B0Ston Post
