GOLD IN MAINE.-The Pittsfeld Ad-
vertise,' says that Mr.. Benjamin Thomp-
son, while walking along the east bank
Of the Sebasticook, below the new stone
dam, at Pittsield, discovered small
piece Of shining ore, which he picked up
and carried to Mr.. Porter, jeweer, who
submitted it TO the most severe tests OF
acid and fire, and found it TO be pure
gold. The land is owned by Mr.. w. X.
Lancey. Mr.. Lancey proceeded to the
spot with man versed in the art Of gold
finding, and in panning out a few pans
full of dirt found another small piece OF
the yellow metal. There is no doubt but
there is gold on this stream, and the
above locality resembles the gold district
of California very much. Mr.. Lancey
proposes to prospect one Of tho gulleyi
thoroughly and see what can be found.

WHAT IT Has DoNE.-William LLOYD

WHAT 1T HAS DoNE.-William Lloyd
Garrison, in his letter to Sumner, taking
him to task for his advice to the colored
people to vote for Greeley, says: 1.-THE
Republican party (the product of thirty
years moral and religious agitation for
the overthrow of slavery has crushed
a vast sectional rebellion for the erection
Of an independent slave empire has
emancipated 4,OOO,O 900 of bondmen, and
elevated them to the plane of American
citizenship has reconstructed the rebel
lious States on common constitutional
basis, with universal liberty; has brought
order out of chaos, general tranquility
out of widespread disaffection, unexam-
pied prosperity out of frightiul devasta-
ton; and has advanced the banner of
liberty and equality far beyond the ex-
pectation or hope of any man living ten
years ago. The day has gone by, there
fore, for any one to exhibit remarkable
courage or conspicuity in the advocacy
Of any measure in behalf of the rights
and interests of our colored population,
except, indeed, where the old slave-hold-
ing spirit exercises mastery at the South.
Nor is it pertinent to the occasion to talk
of their Infinite wrongs" now that they
are emancipated and enfranchsed, sup
piled with multitudinous schools and
teachers, free TO make their own con-
tracts as Independent laborers, protected
as husbands and wives, bound together
as parents and children, voting and
being voted for, pursuing successfully all
professional employment, steadily aug
menting their home comforts and laying
up wealth, occupying stations of trust and
emolument, and having their representa-
tives in every Southern Legislature and
on the floor of Congress. True, in GER
tain localities they are still subjected to
many indignities, and sometimes to hor-
rible outrages /; but these are inflicted by
that class of incorrigible miscreants at
the South who are just now in happy af-
iliation with yourself to place Horace
Greeley in the Presidential chair"
Weekly Trinity journal., 1872-08-31

LAST year there were three million
letters sent TO the Dead Letter Office.
Sixty-eight thousand of these could not
be sent TO their destination because the
names of the country and State were not
superscribed; four hundred thousand had
no stamps on, and over three thousand
had no address at all. An English stat
istician remarks that about the same
number OF unaddressed letters are sent to
the London post Office every year, and
that fact is used as basis for the calcu-
lation OF other accidents. 1t seems
strange that anybody should write letter,
seal and send il away without any address,
yet, as stated above, more than three
thousand persons did so last year in the
United States.

GREELEY's SECESSION REcoRD.-It is
denied by Greeley's friends that he ever
advocated secession. But hero is tho
proof in an extract which appeared over
the signature OF "H. g." in the Now
York tribune Of January 24th, 1861
As to secession, have repeatedly said
and here repeat, that if the people of tho
slave States, or cotton States alone, really
wish to got out of the Union, | am in fa-
vor of letting them out as soon as that
result can be peacefully and constitution
ally attained. But their case cannot be
SO urgent as TO require that the President
and his subordinates should perjure them
selves in Difference to its requirements.
II they will only be patient, not rush to
seize Federal forts, arsenals, arms and
sub treasures, but take first, deliberately,
fair vote by ballot of their own citizens,
none being coerced or intimidated, and
the vote shall indicate settled resolve TO
get out of the Union, will do all that
can to help them out at an early day.

WHEN Frank Blair was elected United
States Senator by the Liberal-Republi-
can-Dcmocratic Legislature, no man was
more disgusted than Horace Greeley.
Nothing could ease the "Philosopher's"
mind except an "open letter" to Blair,
couched in bitter terms. Among the
paragraphs we Gull the following as op-
ropos at the present time:
General, long ago learned that prin-
ciples were inconvenient, and that he
who makes his own aggrandizement his
aim must wear them loosely or put them
aside altogether. / doubt that you would
ever have obtained your present dizzy el-
ovation had you permitted yourself to be
encountered with them. But am old
fashioned, and cannot change my camp
or my flag with your admired facility"

1T is said that the lower classes in
japan are afraid of the telegraph. They
cannot altogether see show the old thing
works." and they are simple enough to
think that it is the device Of the devil,
and that the wires are coated with the
blood Of young women, and that the CEN
sus now being taken is for the sole pur-
pose Of finding out the number of availa-
BILE Japanese maidens whose blood will
do for telegraphic purposes. The idea is
curious one, and it is strange that the
Japanese do not understand the explana-
ton.

THE SOLDIERS OF MASSACHUSETTS,
As the result Of inquiries, says the Boston
Traveller, made by some of the number,
we learn that none of the prominent men
in the army or navy during the war, in
this State, are in favor of Horace Greeley
with the single exception of General
Banks. Instead of Republicans losing
votes of soldiers by the Greeley move
ment, it will bring an accession to theil
ranks of some who are disgusted with the
course of the Democratic party, with
which they have acted.

six months an anti-tobacco league has

PARTIES in Alabama have made ap-

THE New York Tribune published a
list of defaulters to the Government the
other day. Three of them are dead, five
are fugtives, and the other thirteen are
supporters of Greeley. There is not a
defaulter in the country but favors Gree
ley's election. If there is one that does
not, he is as great curiosity as white
elephant.

GEO. ALFRED TOWNSEND, in a letter
to the Chicago Tribune, states that "near-
ly all the wealth of the country is for
Grant for President" And this is ap-
parently true. Capital never seeks
brilliant man for President, mainly be-
cause briliancy is erratic, but it looks for
soldity, safety; hence it chooses Grant as
against Greeley. And nothing could be
more natural.
Weekly Trinity journal., 1872-08-31

GOVERNOR JEWELL says the Greeley
detection in Connecticut is like the ignis
fatuus-you chase it up and it disappears.
1t is like the stories of ague-none here,

unappreciated Office seekers. That's the
kind in nine cases out of ten.

ing, and never visit the school room.
Query - which is Of most importance,
