THE NEW FREIGHT LINE.-The
steps taken some time ago to establish
a packet freight line from Baltimore
to Cumberland wa Western Maryland
railroad and the canal, resulted in an
arrangement which has gone into
effect The NeaOs says:
Freight will be received at Baltimore in
the usual manner and transferred at Will
transport to canal-boats, casually steamers)
and the beats will be so run that freight
loaded in Baltimore late in the afternoon
will reach this city on the morning of the
second day thereafter. Freight will be
landed at this city at the upper canal basin,
or dock, at the foot of Canal street, one
square from Baltimore street. This dock
is about $50 feet in length by go feet in
width and will accommodate a number of
boats at one time. President German, of
the canal, has assured the railroad company
that the canal company will erect shedding
at the dock and if necessary put the whole
dock front under roof, so that goods can be
as safely and conveniently handled as at a
railroad freight depot.
The new freight line will go into opera
ton on Monday morning next. The rates
from Baltimore to Cumberland are: For
first class goods, As cents; second class 40
cents; third class SIS cents; fourth class 80
CENTS special, rs cents. The first class rate
is 10 cents and all the rest cents per 100
pounds lower than the present rates of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad.
Mr.. Jacob Brengle has been appointed
agent ofthe Western Maryland railroad at
this city, and the Office of the freight line
will be located at his salt warehouse at the
head of the freight dock described above
The management think that considerable
bulk of business can soon be secured for
the new line. One order has already been
given by merchant ofthis city and others
are promised at an early day.

| A eoldiers' Monument.


am glad to see IN effort Is being made to erect
. monument in Augusta to the memory Of those
men who died in the service Of their country dur
ing the rebellion. This enterprise, believe, will
meet with the sanction of every citizen, and it
seems now that only q recognised leader is needed
to make it splendid success. First it appears to
me necessary to secure Q lot. Two places have
been mentioned; that of Col. Stanley's ON Win
throp street, and of Judge Rice's on State and
Grove streets. l am free to confess that think
the latter the most eligible, but either, presume,
would be satisfactory to great majority Of the
people, Now if Col. Stanley or Judge Rice are
willing to donate the land to this worthy object, as
has been suggested by your correspondents, if
they would make the fact public, think it would
give an impetus to the enterprise, and insure its
early completion. trust they will deem it of suf-
fcient importance to give US decision soon, and
favorable one. presume it would be "unconsti-
tutional," and therefore useless, to suggest that
this monument be erected by the city Of Augusta.
think that every .ax payer would be glad to join
in the sweet privilege Of contributing, according
to his ans, to perpetuate in granite or bronze
the memory Of those brave ones who are dear to
the hearts of so many of our citizens. If the sum
is raised by contributions there are many who
would esteem it privilege to give something
who would never be reached, or whose pride would
prevent the offering, but if by equal taxation, il
would fall as gently and sweetly to all. as do the
blessings of the government which those heroes
bought with their lives. c.

Freshet.

Lancaster, May II. The water is rising at the
rate of an inch an hour and already exceeds in
height the most remarkable freshet known here
since 1850.
The Boston, Concord & Montreal railroad track
is in many places submerged ard washed badly.
Toll bridges here and at Northumberland are en-
dangered and are being loaded with rocks, to keep
them from floating. Many dwellings along the
river are surrounded with water.
Lebanon, May -. Mascama river has risen
slowly all day and is still rising, being at the high
est point reached since 1851
Hanover, May u. The Connecticut river has
risen three feet since last night and is still rising
The Piermont bridge has been washed away. The
Lyme bridge is reported giving way. The bridge
at West Lebanon is two feet above water, but is
considered in dangerous condition. The bridge
here is safe, twelve feet above water. The north
western portion Of Gillitte's paper mill, between
White River Junction and Nor wich, VT, washed
out
The water is higher than in the past IA years
Farmers have incurred heavy losses. Gres. eA-
element exists.
Woodsville May IL. The Connecticut River is
at its height, and it is expected that 1t will com
mence falling by morning. 1t is Impossible to es
innate the damage present. The damage &c
the Psssumpsic Railroad will nearly equal that O.
the great ireshet of 1869, and should the wine
rise as the water goes down, it must equal if no
exceed it. Over three miles OF dump had beer
washed out between Wells river and Newbuy.

SoldIers' Monument.
| have been much interested in the articles in
your columns relating to the erection OF a soldiers
monG merit in this city. 1t is indeed a sad evidence
OF want of public spirit and a due regard to the
honored memory of those of our number who
gave their lives to the cause of their country-thst
Augusta, the capital city Of the State should SO
lon. have delayed the performance Of the sacred
duty--Ihe erection Of a monument to their mem
ory BY all means let it be done; let an organza-
be sole ted and let our city be called upon for a
small appropriation toward, the same. As to To-
cation il seems to me there can be but one place
that will meet the complete approval OF all our
citizens-that at the junction of State and Grove
streets, on the Rice and Farwell lot, which has
once, believe, been rendered to the city for the
purpose of public park. l have no doubt the
wealthy, LIBERAL and public-spirited owners OF this
lot would present it to the city for this purpose.
1t is located on two great thoroughfares OF our
city, on the main arteries of travel Leading 10 the
State House, to the cities the river below Us, TO
Winthrop, Readfeld, and all the country to the
west and south of Augusta. The Winthrop street
location cannot he regarded as any other than .
local one, and although a good one, few would
ever see the monument excepting such as went to
it expressly Tor that purpose, as compared with the
other location mentioned. But location aside
am poor enough, but will give $40 towards such
monument, situated anywhere in Augusta, in
memory of q loved brother who lost his life in the
service of his country, but whose remains, thank
God rest in his native town, where simple grave
stone tells the story Of his death. L.

German

Berlin, May II. The rumors of general Eu-
ropean conference on the situation in Turkey are
premature, but it is thought probable the question
of holding one will be considered, should Turkey
herself propose such course to the guaranteeing
powers.
The first conference of the taree imperial chan
ceors, Andfassv, Gortschakoit and bismarck,
was held Yesterday, at Bismarcks residence. II
is understood that Andrassy's note will form the
basis Of their conference.
The Turkish ambassador has been Instructed to
express to the representatives OF the great powers
the Porte's deep regret at the Salonica outrage,
and to give assurances that the guilty persons Will
be punished.
He is also instructed to declare that the Porte is
willing to meet the wishes of the three emperors
regarding the execution OF the programme en-
bodied in Andrassys note, ana VII! raise no once
ton to the guarantees which may be re luued by
the powers.
LATER
II il stated that the three chancellors, yesterday,
in conference decided to abstain-at least for tire
prcsent-from any military intervention IN the
Turkish troubles, and that Count Andras,y has
EXPRESSED great satisfaction at this decision in the
case.
LATER.
II is understood that yesterdays conference at
Prince Bismarck's residence resulted III COM
pete agreement touching the points to be dis
cussed, and no doubt is entertained but that the
other powers will accept the principles lad down.
II is expected as result of the conference that
note supplementary 10 Count Andrassy's will be
promuly ated defining the guarantees required OF
Turkey for the execution of reforms, and reserv-
ing the International right of controlling such ex,
ecuton. Whatever steps be taken, 1t Is believed
the three empires will ask the support OF the other
treaty powers therein. Russia considers 1t imper
alive in view of the agitated state of Turkey, to
demand the adoption of decisive and energetic
course, in order to obtain the required guarantees
The Salonica outrage and the reports OF the ex
cited state of feeling in Constantinople will be
cous idered, and probably guarantees will also b'
demanded tor the security Of the Portes Chrstiat

Soldiers MOnunle Ats.


Mr. EDITOR Il think well of erecting public
monuments 10 honor Of the soldiers who sacrificed
their lives for the If country, whether in the late
rebellion, or in the Second war Of Independence
with England in lSl2l5. But it strikes me that
above all similar structures, the nation this day.
owes it to the patriots who fell to vudicate the i'm
mortal Independence made in l776, that the year
1876 should honor theil memories by a significant
monument on our State grounds, recording the
names, most of which can be Obtained from the
Revolutionary Records now in the Adjutant Cen
erals office in Boston. All who sacrificed their
lives ia the Revolut onary struggle, that resided
in the "Dstrct of Maine" at that time should be
preserved in monumental marble, inscribed upon
appropriate tablets inserted thereon. Bv the res
pcct aud gratitude which Maine would cherish
for her fallen patriots. the State would only do a
proper service to the cause for which they suffered,
by erecting suitable monument the capitol
grounds.
One thing more; think the lot Winthrop
street, belonging to Col. Stanley, is not suitable
place for the soldiers Monument now in agita-
ton better place would be the real triangular
Park at the junction of State and Grove street, op-
po,ite HE residence of Judge Rice. ID.
