Correspondence of the Portland Pressl
GoRHAM, N. H., Jan. 81 1877.
Before this reaches your readers they will
probably have heard of the sad loss our town
has just sustained in the death of Deputy Sher-
iii John E. Willis, who was killed yesterday at
West Milan, while making arrangements to
take the train from that place for home. He
left here Friday evening by train, upon official
business, at Stark and Milan, having complet-
ed which he thought to return by the mixed
train, which leaves West Milan at l D. m. There
is at that point on the road heavy grade, maxi
ing it almost impossible for trains coming down
to stop and start again. Mr. Willis knowing
this, aud having frequently taken the trains
there, started out upon the road ahead of No.
II, the mixed train down, with the intention
of going short distance towards the top Of the
grade where the train could more easily stop
to let him on. The train coming along the en-
gineer, Mr.. Davis, seeing him blew the whistle,
which was heard, and before the engine reach
ed Mr.. Willis he stepped to one side, which was
unfortunately by large snow embankment,
giving him 80 little space that the cylinder
struck him just enough to roll him over, and
losing his footing bring him directly beneath
the wheels, where be was instantly killed, be.

The Black Killers are warmly advocating
the establishing of new Territory with the
Black Hills as its centre. They want to take
for the Territory about $4,000 square miles
from Dakota and Il, 900 each from Montana
and Wyoming, making Territory about one
third the size of the present Territory of
Dakota. 1t is not improbable that the
scheme may be carried into effect when the
population of the Black Hills region becomes
quadrupled, but its immediate prospects are
not very brilliant. The decayed politicians
who 60 to the Black Hills in the hope of bet
tering their political fortunes will have to
wait some time for the realization of their
dreams,

STATE TEMPERANCE CONVENTION.
TO THE PEOPLE OF MAINE,

AS the time approaches for our Annual Temper
ance Gathering, in reviewing the past we see abun-
dant reason to thank God and take courage"
The success OF the various Temperance Organiza-
tions, bot male and female has been truly wonder
ful. The prluclple OF total abstinence and we NAV
add prohibition, was never strongly intrenched
in the hearts OF the people than to-day This should
encourage us to work on till victory crowns our ef-
forts.
Therefore, the men, women and children of Maine,
OF all temperance organizations, and of temper
ance asso iaons of all religious denominations and
polcai parties, total abstaners, prohbitoniss and
those who have doubts with reference to prohibition
are invited to meet in Mass Convention at
GRANITE HALL, IN AUGUSTA,
On Tuesday, at . O'Clock H. W., Jan, 23.
lS5z.
Let us come together to pray consult and plan for
the future.
The "Woman's Christian Temperance Unon'' will
hold their Convention in connection with this
The Convention will probably continue until
Thursday night.
The usual reduction of fare may be expected on the
railroads.

AT Nara, an old capital of the mikados, W here
seven descendants of the sun reigned in the
eighth century, is an immense wooden barn,
built By one of the kings, and wherein he de-
posted all the treasures of the palace previous
to the removal of the government to Kiyoto.
This barn has been repaired carefully every
sixty-one years, and is now entire and sound
An exhibition of the treasures has been opened
in the great temple of Diabuez, forming a dis

tive Of one era, does not find it's counterpart in

IT was Isham G.. Harris, just elected
United States Senator from Tennessee by the
Democrats, who, as Governor of that State
in 1861, in answer to an earnest appeal from
President Lincoln, asking him to assist the
government. by sending volunteers to the de-
fense of the Union, replied, Tennessee will
not furnish single man for coercion, but
nifty thousand, if necessary, for the defense Of
our rights and those of our brethrenp' 1t
was this same Isham G. Harris who forced
Tennessee into secession while Governor, in
the face of protest of majority of 67,054
OF the loyal voters of the State. The system
employed to accomplish this was very similar
to that since resorted to in Louisiana and
other States, aud known as bulldozing. The
people protested against the outrage, but in
vain. The whole State was terrorized, and
the outrage perpetrated in spite of majority
OF legal voters opposing it. Referring 10 the
attempt of the Union men of the State to
prevent the consummation of the plot laid
by Harris and the leaders of the secession
movement throughout the South, Mr.. Orville
j. Victor, in his "History, Civil, Political and
Military, of the Southern Rebellion" says:
"Vain protest. 1t was not long before these
Unionists and protestants against wrong
were flying for their lives, and were hunted
down like wild beasts, exiled, outlawed,
scoursed, imprisoned, consigned to the gal
lows in companies. The story of East Ten
nessee is written in tears and blood, and if all
other records of the wrong and outrage per-
petrated by the Coniederacy on Southern
citizens were blotted out, the prosecutions
inflicted on loyal men in Tennessee would
suffice to consign the memory of the secession
movement and its leaders to eternal infamY."

Some sensation has been caused in church
circles of st. Louis by the formal withdrawal
OF the Walnut street Presbyterian congrega-
branch of the Presbyterian church, and join
ing the Northern branch, "the Presbyterian
Church in the United States," as the latter
is called. There is additional significance to
this movement in the fact that of the nine
elders eight are pronounced Southern men,
as well as DIR. Brooks, the pastor, who pre-
diets that the time will soon come, if God had
not given this country over to madness, when
all the Presbyterian churches of the South
would follow the example of his and return
