The Rockland Gazette eftectually dis-
poses ofthe story of the recent appearance.
as 4 leader OF the Iowa train robber, OF
v T. Coolidge, the YOUNG physician of
Wateryille who murdered a man named
Matthews some twenty years ago, for
which crime he was sentenced to be hang
ed at the expiration of u years imprison-
ment Recalling the scenes and incidents
attending the execution, the Gazette shows
the report of his having been set at liberty
and 4 corpse substituted at the burial
in his place, 10 be altogether prepostcrous
and absurd \ similar story having been
stated soon after the time OF the execution,
a committee of seyen including two ply
sicianl who We're acquainted with Cool
idge. was appointed to investigate the
case. Among the many witnesses sum
moned to testify were the Warden Of the
prison in which Coolidge was confined
the prison physician, the Deputy Sheriff,
who had the prisoner in charge, the two
chaplains Of the prison who attended him
al his death, as well rs numerous other
officers who assisted at the execution.
They ali. with one voice, testified to
prisoners identity, and were confident that
they could not be mistaken in the man.
The story Of the prisoners walking the
earth again cannot possibly be true, there
fore, except uponth the preposterous assump-
ton that these seven men, who officially
and solemhly testified to his death, We're
all bribed together and that their deposi-
tons are false The majority Of these Wit
nesses are now living in Maine, and it is
thought that if they were asked again
whether they really believed Coolidge to
be dead they might show a becoming
Christian temper in answering, but it can
not positively be asserted that it might
not provoke a slight ebullition of right
eous indignation.

SHIP PROPERTY The year Just closed
has proven to have been, as predicted in
this circular one year ago, the most pros
porous we have seen in many years to the
shipping interests Of the country, in which
our builders, owners, factors, and other
interests identified with the maritime pros
peritv of the country have had CORE
spending share Notwithstanding the Sc
rious financial revolution which occurred
in September and which for a time seri-
ously interfered with the legitimate course
of our foreign export trade, it was graft
flying to all identified with it to observe
the great stability and continued prosper
ity throughout these troubles of this great
and important interest. The prediction
given in this circular one year ago, touch
ing the decadence of iron ship building in
Great Britain has also been verified BY the
fact that during the past year there has
been sold to foreign purchasers, principal
" English and German, Il larger amount
Of American tonnage than perhaps before
known in Il single year, thus evidencing
the fact that our white oak ships are re-
covering favor, and likely to become again
supreme over the world. The building of
iron ships may be SAID to be practically
9uSPellueu ny lllelI present excessive Cost,
and the increased preference for wooden
ships, which, when taken in connection
with the large sales abroad, and heavy
losses OF tonnage during the year, cannot
tail to impart great prosperity to our build
ing interest, as well as to owners The
future bears most encouraging look for
the shipping interests, and III the absence
OF outward events, the predction may safe
ly be ventured that the present is likely to
be quite as prosperous year as the last
has been. The present demand for p,lr-
chase is notably small, as is indicated by
the few sales Of the past month. The ag-
gregate sales of tonnage at this port for
the year 1873 foot up 43, 749 tons register,

that General Ben, having, like his great
prototype, Jack Falstaf, placed his ragged
followers where they would get well pep
pered, went to breakfast with the pious
visible was not then converted-that the
black sons of female dogs might do some
thing, or words to that effect. When the
capless column came under the murderous
fire of position that, in the hands of a
thousand men, was impregnable, they did
as all troops do, white or black, under
such circumstances-tumb back and
went to firing.
Only look at it, marching steadily on
with closed ranks, under the enemy's fire,
until the head of the column reached the
| first line of BATS some one hundred and Hfty
| yards from the ehe1ny's cork" That is fair
range, and thousand men, with artillery
and musketry, poured a deadly fire into the
column. Then the aXmen ran to the front
| to cut away the heavy distractions of de
Tense" Now we will wager coupon on
IA North Pacific that they ran to the rear
as fast as their colored legs could carry
them.
But let us examine Benjamin's story
A well-constructed abatis, as We suppose
this to have been, is not readily removed
from the front. Made of hard timber, we'll
bedded, the points reaching out like quilts
of the porcupine, there are no facilities tor
quick work, and it would take all the men
who could work upon it hours to open a
way and al this while three thousand men
We're under deadly fire. This is not all
Another abatis within fifty yards of the re-
doubt is cut away, and the column oftwen-
ty-five hundred men pour over the works
and put the enemy to flight.
Now, how many were killed OF the three
thousand who stood SO long within pistol
shot of the redoubta Why, says truthful
Ben, five hundred and forty three. Now,
as under the bloody circumstances, it is
safe to presume that five Were wounded
for every soldier killed, we have precisely
two hundred and eighty five men to drive
IA thousand from their entrenchment, well
armed, and from first to last no one killed
or wounded, for the colored heroes were
capless, you see. And they did drive them.
drove them exactly four miles, for truthful
Ben, knowing that some day contound-
ed fool like ourselves would question his
statements, went and measured the dis
lance.

Now see how one fact puts to shame
all this balderdash. The army corps I'M
der Ord having carried Fort Harrison by
surprise and pierced the enemy's center,
the works on the left wing were no longer
tenable, and when the immortal three
thousand reached these distractions they
found them abandoned with the enemy in
full retreat \ handful of men-an ex-
Confederate officer whose distinguished con
nection was in command, says they num-
bered one regiment of less than three hun
bred men--made brief stand, and if Ben. 5
count of his dead can be relied on, this
handful gave good account ofthemselves,
and went five hundred towards solution
of this vexed colored question of equality.
In the grave we are all equal.
