Letter from Augusta.
REPUBLICAN NOMINATION FOR MAYOR

AUGUSTA, March 9, 1872.
To the Editor of the Press:
The Republican caucus this evening to nomi-
nate candidate for Mayor was large and en-
thusiastic gathering The caucus was called to
order by Mr.. Libby, of the City Committee,
and George E. Weeks, ESQ.,, was called to the
chair. s. w. Lane, Esq. was chosen Clerk.
Hon. j. j. Eyeleth was nominated as cand;
date for Mayor unanimously, by rising vote.
Mr.. Eveleth being present, he was called out,
and accepted the nomination in a stirring and
happy speech. t.........s.
Hon. Jas. w. Patterson, who received the
nomination for Mayor by the Labor Reform
Fizzle last evening, was present and in response
to a call for speech, said:-He did not want
to be Mayor. He supposed that was we'll I'M
derstood. He did not want anybody to vote for
him for that office. He should most heartily
support Mr.. Eveleth. He had accepted the Re-
publican nomination for Councilman from
Ward 8, and thatwas the only office he wanted
He was not very solicitous for that, and did not
know that he should get it. (By the way,
Ward is considered close, and is at present
represented in the City Council by a Demo-
crat.)
Mr.. Dewitt moved that Mr.. Patterson be ex-
cused from serving as Maysr Carried unani-
mously with applause.
Remarks were made 10y other gentlemen.
A City Committee was appointed, and the eau
Gus adjourned.
1t was reported that the Democracy were as
sembled somewhere in caucus, but a strict
Al.
were wont to congregate failed to discover their
whereabouts to your correspondent, hence a full
report of that scene cannot be furnished. 1t is
whispered confdentially that their nominee is
Harvey Chisam, Esq, good citizen and an old
line Democrat, but being man not covetous of
empty honors, it was doubtless feared that he
would decline the nomination if it became gen.
orally known before election, hence the whis-
pers among the faithful. ~ ~

Political.

The New York Times very pertinently saws /:
During the three fyears that the Republicans
have had undivided control of the government,
the debt of the United States has been re-
duced within few thousand dollars of three
hundred millions of dollars. The annual saw
ing in interest to the people by this reduction,
at tne present premium on gold is about twenty
millions OF dollars. On the other hand the
Grand jury which indicted Mayor Hail. as
sert that under Tammany rule in this city full
twenty millions have been stolen. Yet it is
with the party that produced Hall. and that
substantially supports him, that Schurz and his
fellow reformers' propose to ''purfy" the
national government.
Municipal elections will be held in Bangor.
Augusta Biddeford, Belfast and other town,
and cities to-day.
Hon. j. W. Patterson declines to be can
didate for Mayor of Augusta.
The Republican papers represent that Hon.
C. P. Kimball's meetings at Concord, last
week, were not well attended and there was
no enthusiasm.
Voorhees, positively refuses to be candi-
date for Governor of Indiana, because he
loves his profession and Terre Haute.
The Riverside Echo applies to the late
Legislature the language of the Episcopal
service; I'VE have done [manyl things
winch we ought not to have done, and we
have left undene [manyl things which we
ought to have done" May their successors
do better.
Mrs. Beecher Hooker will demand repistra-
ton in Connecticut at the ensuing election.
Almost all the Alabama Democratic papers
declare against the passive policy. They will
hear of nothing but straight Democratic
ticket.

'Facts Submitted to the Jury without
Argument" .t..
from the Argus Of March sth.l

Mr.. A. X. Shurtleff said he stood by the pol
icy of the Board of Trade, but he ,cas getting
tired Of aoditiug While the grass is growing
the horse will starve. Our Representative in
Congress has been trying for four or five years
to obtain this measure of relief, but-through
no fault of his ias utterly failed. Pennsylva-
MIA and the West are united and immovable in
the determination that no drdDbdckS shall be a.
loaoed on shipbuilding materials. We cannot
build without. Our merchants are obliged to
send down to the Provinces for vessels to carry
their West India freights. For his part he ca
pectea no relief from, Congress-; he regarded our
shipbuilding industry as gone; and he was in ia
vor no o of buying foreign ships and rescuing at
least the carrying trade.
[From the PRESS of March sth]
1t is curious to observe that when the Port
land Board of Trade met yesterday to express
the detestation the greater part of its members
feel for the proposed admission of foreign ves-
sells to the privileges of American registry, A..
K Shurtleff, ESQ.,, one Of the leading Democrats
of this State, instantly declared himself in favor
Of that most fatal of all devices for dnnihiating
ship5aildiag on tie Maine coast. And that is
what the Democrats of Maine do when then are
told Show to make their shipyards busy again. 7"
From the argus of March 9th.l
Now what did Mr.. Shurtleff say? What the
PRESS declared? No! Its statement is lie
and made with deliberation. Mr. Shurtleff s
position was that 'f'' Congress would not grant
relief to shipbuilders, of which the years Of de-
lay perhaps afford little hope, he should be in
favsr of free ships. That was his distinct state
ment Nobody could misunderstood ii, and to
attempt to misrepresent it for partizan ends-to
effect the New Hampshire elections con-
temptibly small business and as certain to be
Intellectual. The PRESS has rolled in the dirt
for nothing. .-H
The Portland daily press., 1872-03-11
The Accident near Springfield.

We CLEAN the following additional facts rela-
tive to this accident:
One of the gentlemen in the passenger car
which went down the embanxment, saws that
the car was crowded, all the seats being occu-
pied and a number of people standing. There
were between twenty and thirty ladies in the
car The first thing noticed was sudden jar
ring jolt, then shock as if the car had struck
some object (Which afterwards proved to be a
telegraph pole,) and then the car commenced
to slide swiftly down the embankment to the
frozen river below. Z,
There was a scene of thrilling excitement for
half minute, men and women alike starting
up and shrieking in terror. In an instant more
the forward end of the car struck the ice and
the car fell over upon its side. Some cool "old
stagers" on board, who had boon wrecked on
the rail before, with great presence of mind
seized the lamps and prevented damage from
that source. The cry of "fire" was raised at
once, the mail car, three cars ahead, being al
most instantly in blaze. After the car struck
the men sprang at once to the work of rescue,
forcing open the door, and opening the windows
on the upper side of the car. One active gem
tlemen helped fourteen ladies through the door,
and the writer assisted four or five ladies'
through one of the windows. Strange to saw
not one OF the ladies was seriously hurt, 80 far
as known. After the first shock thew behaved
nobly, assisting in the work of escape and show
ing admirable self-control
There were several narrow escapes One
lady had in her arms an infant not more than
three months old, which she chung to all the
while, and which came out of the accident
without scratch. The little thing did not
even wake up, but slept quietly until its arrival
In Springfield this morning. There the passen-
gers crowded around to see the baby that had
been safely through the disaster, and thereupon
it awoke and smiled up into the faces about it
with refreshing calmness. BN
The escape of the sleeping cars was wonder.
full. All four were thrown from the track and
the trucks of the forward one actually hung
over the embankment, just above the passenger
car beneath. Had it fallen it would have
been plunged directly upon the car, and but
few OF the passengers would have escaped
alive. 1t hung there, half suspended over the
river, as though stopped and held by the very
hand of Providence
When the burning car had been consumed
the passengers went to the track above, helping
themselves up by line of shawls and scarfs
tied together-for the embankment was covered
with Iceland waited for the up train When
it came along all got aboard and went back to
Springfield, where the wounded were cared for.
