Ben Harris on the War Path.


The Hon. Benz. G. Harris, of st. Mary's
county, is out in characteristic letter
against Greeley. Ben can't stand the
Democratic juggle of anything to beat
Grant" We give below some extracts
from the disguised Harris letter.
"But when you present the alternative
of the least of evils, how do you know that
many Democrats may not look upon Grant
as less evil than Greeley9 This is horri-
lie idea you say, but it is the result of your
own folly. Horace Greeley endorsed and
praised every act of Grants Administra-
ton until short time since when he was
prompted by the promise of corrupt bar
gaining Democrats to transfer the party to
him and secure to him if possible the prize
of the Presidency.
If then he approved heretofore of all
Grant has done and no evidence of his dis
approval of anything until the Democratic
bid for him, what is it that commends-no
not commends-but what is it that causes
you to tolerate this ega and ask us to do
the same-what stronger evidence can we
have of the present insincerity of most
consummate william ?"
"For myself, declare most solemnly
that all the Conventions that could be
packed
BETWEEN BALTIMORE AND PANDEMoNIUM
land hope they are wide apart could not
cause or induce me to vote for Horace
Greeley for any place whatever. Under no
conditions of things which my minds eye
can observe as likely to happen could be
induced to do an act so degrading.
I am sure you would not, nor would
those who met in council with you in Bal
timore, and l sincerely trust and hope that
millions will act with us before and at the
November Presidential election.
Even those Democrats who have placed
their party in this horrible dilemma by their
unexampled and monstrous desertion l
would bessech to shrink back from their
idol-the yelled prophet of Chappaqua-
who, like the yelled prophet of khorassan,
may sneeringly think and say:
There, We wise saints, behold your light,
your star;
Ye would be dupes and victims, and We are;
Is it enough? or must | while thrill
Lives in your sapient bosoms cheat you
still %"

Muscular Christianity.


Ii is not all this age Of progress demands
that the youth Of our common schools, sem
inaries aud colleges, should be allowed or even
required to take some specified amount of
physical exercise. They should be taught
the principles Of physiology, that in early
life they may become familiar with the laws
Of life, especially those conducive to health,
longevity and TEMPORAL enjoyment. When in
telligent people and teachers are sufficiently
impressed with the Importance Of rearing and
educating an improved race Of men, more
athletic and vigorous Of body, and with more
nervous energy Of brain, they will perceive
the necessity Of early, systematic and thor
ough physical training or culture For such
culture, something more and different from
mere gymnastic exhibitions, put forth to ex-
cite the admiration Of the multitude is re-
quired. To secure the growth Of such a
race, it is not necessary to revive the cruel
and dissoutc aud licentous games Of the
ancient Greeks and Romans, though the evil
dent tendency of the times is in that direc-
ton, and is too plainly indicative Of deca-
dence Of national morals We want train
Jog Of the various physical powers such as
will best Ct them for their useful aud legit-
mate purposes, the utilities of human life ;
such physical culture as physiological sci
enco teaches such as will elevate both indi-
vidual aud national powers, for material
progress in peace as well as defence in war
Physiological science must guide teacher and
pupil to the attainment aud development Of a
more perfect physical organism of meu, pre-
paratory to the development Of intellectual
POI ers Of greater capability, endurance anc
usefulness.
Unfortunately for the cause Of human pro
gross in physical development aud improve
ment, as in intellectual and moral advance
ment, man is slow to learn from others
experiences, either contemporary or past. III
seems not only inclined to adopt rather thai
to reject the errors aud vices, even of his owl
T times, but also to ignore the teachings Of his
tory. lie seems averse or unwilling to lear
in any other than the hard school Of persona
experience, and thus forces history to "repea
ITSELF" Mr. Froude to the contrary, not
withstanding.
Those severe virtues, industry, prudence
f economy aud temperance, which from neccssit
f find more or less favor with young or ne'
communities, and generally with individual
in the commencement Of lifes career, excep
when cursed with Inherited wealth without th
Inheritance of principles by which it was &C
quired, do not seem to be particularly attraC
tive to the mass Of mankind

We wish to notify the papers in Caledonia
County which have been so disturbed by our
articles on this road, that not one of them
was written until we had been privately in-
formed from Portland that the Notch route
would undoubtedly be abandoned, and any.
thing which We might say indicating another
and feasible route by way of Meredith q
Wells River and Montpelier would be favor
ably received and repubished at Portland.
The object of our articles has not been to re-
gain the lost trade of the Lamoile Valley,
but to give our solicited aid to Portland in
direction indicated by some of her citizens
Furthermore, we are well certified Of all our
facts, and they can be taken by even the Gale
donia papers as true aud reliable, though they
may not have the same information from any
other source Even the Portland & Ogdens-
burgh Directors will soon be convinced that
if they are to compete with Boston for the
Western trade, they must take the directest
route and not run ria the North Star.

Capital site for a Summer Hotel.

On Thursday last a party Of about thirty gen
tlemen, representing towns on the Wells River
railroad from Montpelier to Groton, met at the
summit and spent few hours very agreeably in
examining the line Of the road, and the timber
and granite which are to give to it a large bust
ness. Several of the party assembled Bald Head
mountain, which some Of them insisted should
be called Owls llead-a mistake that should not
gain assent There is one famous Owls Head
already in Canada, but Immediately on the Dor
der of Vermont, which has noted hostelrie .
and Of course it would be inconyenient to both
hosts and guests to have two mountains and ho-
tells of the same name. Now few words AS to
Bald Head mountain. II lies on the border Of
Peacham and Groton, and by the side Of the SUM
init of the Montpelier 4 Wells River railroad,
where a station is to be put for the convenience
of Peacham. The summit Of the mountain may
be made accessible easily by carriages, MS it is
not more than two hundred feet above the rail-
road, and the approach from the western side
is by gradual ascent. The mountain, there
fore, is not high enough To be disagreeably
cold in summer and yet, as it lies at the
summit Of the valley running west from Con-
necticut river to the Winooski, it takes every
breeze that blows, and must be an agreeable re-
treat from the heat in the sultry season. while for
scenery it is not surpassed even by many higher
and colder mountains. Near the base of the
mountain five small lakes are in sight, and three
more famous for trout are within circuit OF three
miles, AT the east, the White Mountain range
Of New Hampshire from below Moosehillock to
the most northern of the great peaks is distinctly
visible, with all the valley between, and to the
west the vision extends to Camels Hump and
the main Green Mountain range. We discovered
that the tops OF Mounts Washington, jefferson,
and Madison were all covered by snow and ice,
cloudy day that some of the party were confident
that they discovered, Il rough good field glass,
part Of the line Of the White Mountain rail
road now covered with ice. 1t is certain that
what seemed to be the road was in the right d.
recton and CONFIRMED in line and curve to the
true line and curve Of the road near the summit.
When the railroad shall have been completed and
few highways in the vicinity of Bald Head,
that mountain will furnish tie best site for a first
class hotel for summer visitors that we know in
Central Vermont The mountain is granite
ledge, and the surface is so shaped and the ma
terial for building of the most solid kind so abun-
dant, that the expense of erection will be com.
paratiyely small. This site should not he neg
ected, In any event, it will soon become famous
for picnics and parties of fishermen and hunters.

" Gen. William b. Ilazen has written a
letter to the New York Tribune in reference
to the late horrible butchery by the Indians
at Towards Wells in Texas. After stating
that he is now and has been for several months
laid up from paralysis arising from ball re-
ceiyed in a fight with the Indians at that
very place thirteen years ago, he adds that
these raids and massacrcs are the regular
thing with the Comanches of the Staked plain,
and that not full moon comes but some ma
rauding party leaves the reservation for a
spree in Texas. He says in the two years
that he had control Of those regions he had
occasion to report no less than twenty such
affairs. The connection of Mexicanu and
negroes with these bands is inevitably re-
ported, simply because the Indians have with
them large numbers from these races whom
they have stolen or captured in youth aud
naturalzed to their savage state General
Hazeu declares that every grown man of
the Comanche and Kiowa tribes to whom we
issue ratons is a murderer Of many men,
women and children lie inspires us with
not the kindest feelings toward these esteemed
friends of Vincent CoIyer, and puts our only
safety from future outrage in the forcible
dismounting and close surveillance of these
professional land pirates.
