PORTLAND. Oct. -. 1872.
To the Editors Of The american;
In this day OF revolutions in journalism,
Portland Is TO have her share In the game.
There has just come upon the stage pro-
spectus Of n new weekly paper, to be pub
lished In this city under the name aud style
of The State.
II we may trust the promise of its pro-
spectus, ii Is TO be a very heightened sheet !;
thoroughly devoted to the peoples inter-
est" observing a benevolent neutrality on
mere political questions aud striving to
move upon the high plane OF the Nation.
II is proposed 10 commence the puhica-
ton of this journal about the first OF No
vember. All good citizens wish success t."
the enterprise. but some are fearing that
high. aud that it proposes to move upon
too LOFTY a level to suit the average public
of a city of the size of Portland. whose in
habtants II cannot be denied are mere
mortals. and are Interested in political
questions and other things pertaining To-
every day life.
The October elections are hailed with
great joy in Portland a. In every other
loyal city. The Sih OF October was tho
great Republican field day Of the Nation,
and It's results Indicate that Greeley will
carry no Northern state. and it remains
now for the Great Farmer" either 60 r.
tire to ChapPaqua, or ''go West.
And even now his friends and hackers
are recalling him from his meaudcring,
about the country and entrcaging him TO
come back ere the ruin tall.
Portland j. looking gloriously ia il,
autumn beauty. and the aspect Of the
country about Portland syiyidly described
IN the following which we quote from a

purest men with corruption and the most

the sanctuary OF the grave BY suggesting
odious doubts Of the integrity of the no.

credit Of believing some of its wretehed

evitable. We care not what statements

Hon. James e. Blaine is at home

Middle and Western States. The re-
ceplion that he met wherever he spoke
showed how highly the people regard
him, and the feeling is general through

owed for the great success that has thus
far attended the Republican canvass.
The general ina uagcment OF the Maine
campaign was almost entirely in Mr..

Capt. James Eaton of Sedgwick, an
old man Of - years. on Saturday last.
took his axe and his dinner and went into
the woods TO chop wood, but not returning
at night at the proper time, search was
made for him by his neighbors, and con-
tinued until late in the night when il was
abandoned until Sunday morning when he
was found about 30 rods from where he
had been at work, in an insensible state OF
mind, hat. coat aud vest off, with one boot
also. 1t is supposed that feeling unwell he
started for his home, and fell in ut. He
is recovering slowly.

The MAINE CENTRAL RAILWAY SrocK

The MAINE CENTRAL RAILWAY STOCK.
AUGUSTA, Me-, Oct 20.-we are inform
ed on the highest authority that although
it may be true that a certain amount OF
stock of the Maine Central Railroad has
been purchased by Boston parties, still
such sale. together with all the stock
owned in Boston combined, would constf-
tute but small fraction of the capital
stock of that road. All reports that the
Boston and Maine Road or any other
parties in Boston have a, controlling inter
est in the Maine Central are utterly un-
founded. The reported lease of the Maine
Central in the Portland Argus of Saturday
IL also unfounded.
1t is within our knowledge that the
parties in the management of the Maine
Central would be the last men In the State
to consent to the transfer of that property
to the control Of parties out of the State,
or place It in hands hostile to the interests
of the people Of Maine.-Boeton Journal.
