The following extract is taken from letter
from we'll known officer of the 9th Maine
now residing in Lubec:
AT the time the companies from Machias and
vicinity were to pass through this town in
May, 1861, Mr.. Foster drew up subscription
paper to get the funds to entertain them. Two
young men took the paper to John Q. Talbot
and solicited aid, he refused and they reported
that he made the following answer: "Not one
cent; It's a Black Republican soar; let them foot
the bills. They'll get enough Of IT," This is the
reply just as 1T appeared IN the Machlas Re-
publican of Dec. 10, 1861, as coming from a
prominent Democrat In answer to the Machias
Union, accusing Lubec Republicans OF lack Of
enthusiasm in giving departing company
cheer.
The fact is, Mr.. Talbot has forgotten about
this little but troublesome affair, else he could
not have demanded the names of our ir form
ant. While it is of no account to Mr.. Talbot
as to the man who made the statement to US
we presume that if he will address Hon. Horace
Harmon, Col. A. B. Sumner, or NJ. M. Foster,
Esq, of Lubsc, they win furnish him with
sufficient testimony to convince him that he
was from 1861 to 1866 as bitter a copperhesd as
ever opposed the LiRcoln administration, dis
heartened loyal people by his bitter dernpcla-
tions and predictions Of defeat, or secretly re-
joiced at rebel victories as the means by which
the Democratic party were to be restored to
power.
It's very bad for John Coffin Talbot that he
was so wicked fore de wah, so drefful wicked
in de wah, but it's too late to deplore it now;
and his hot denals aud the tragic strut with
which he demands the names of informers will
neither frighten nor deceive anybody. It's
vain, Mr.. Talbot to say
"Out damned spot, out!''
you must be made to stand by your disgraceful
record of copperheadism.

a sIsaULAs ACCIDENT.
Crushed Through y Two-tnck Board
Net Seriously IaI ursd.

Yesterday afternoon nj ) o'clock Edwar
Richards. a miner working In the Yellow
Jacket. mel with m accident that in Its
nature WAS most dangerous. He was en-
gagged with other workmen in retimbering
the west compartment Of the shaft, and
was about lfty feet below the llOO-foot
station. In his work IL became necessary
to take out . guideb bolt from the guides.
aud in doing so he put 4 iva by six inch
plank across the shaft 10 stand on.
The pump-man in the next compartment
had started 10 No down. and Richards
thought that he would have time TO get his
Job finished before the cage in his COM
partment came down again. The two
cages are so joined that when one goes
down the other up. After going
down 4 little more than 100 feet. the pump
man rang his cage TO the top again. This
sent the cage down into the compartment
where the workingmen were. and before
Richards WAS fully aware Of his situation
he was caught between the descending
cage and the plank on which he WAS stand
ing. The motion of the Gag. Was fortu-
naiely slow and the weight Of II was put
upon the plank by degrees.
The tank was also ON the cage. and the
combined weight was 10 great that the
plank was broken. Richards being literally
mashsi through Il. lie fell . distance Of
more than iiity feet. 10 the bottom Of the
