Guiteau has now been confined in Jail over five
weeks. 1t is rather singular fact that no one
has ever called upon him at the jail with a
friendly purpose-that during his wanderings in
this city he never made one friend who now
manifests any substantial interest in him: that
no letter has been received by Guiteau proffering
him counsel or assistance. Such an absolute
destitution of friends is something unprece-
dented even in the case of the meanest crimi-
nails. He has never asked to have anybody sent
for.

As we sat in our sanctum last evening and
listened to the roar of the water going to
waste over the Kennebec dam, and thought Of
the closed mills, it was with the grimness of
a Roman stole that we read in the Boston
Herald "that the cotton mills of to-day are
running to their full capacity, and the goods
are all marketed a. fast as they can be made,
and the past year has been one of unusual
prosperity. Most Of the cotton mills
are not only sold up to the very
looms. but the larger part of them
are at work upon orders for future delivery,
and some of them, particularly those engaged
in making goods for the export trade, are sold
ahead for many months. The explanation of
this condition of affairs is easy. The cotton
spindles in this country have not been in
creased in ratio equal with the growth of
population, and now, in the event Of good
times, when everybody is employed and
everybody is buyer Of goods in consequence,
it is found that the goods are required faster
than they can be made" Brethren. Whittier
must have had a prophetic view of Augusta
and the Sprague purchase, when he wrote:

The question of railroad direct from the
Maine Central to the heart of Aroostook has
taken form, and the survey already COM
menced. Starting from Dexter, Ito which a
branch was built from Newport several years
ago. the route will extend through Sebec to
Brownville, Piscataquis county, to ac-
commodate the iron mines of that section,
thence in a north-easterly direction to the
right or left Of Patten, a border town of
Penobscot county. Two routes will be ex-
amined between Patten and the Aroostook
valley-one via Ox-bow, (No. 0 range g. to
Masardis, Ashland, Castle Hill and Mapleton
to Pressure Isle; the other farther east.
through Island Falls and Dyer Brook to the
head waters of the Pressure Isle stream. The
surveying parties-one at each end of the
route-are expected to accomplish the work
assigned them in about two months. Follow
ing are the distances between Portland and
points in Aroostook, as now Travelled, and the
miles saved by the proposed new road. as
given us BY President Jackson of the NJ. C.. &:
From Portland to Pressure Isle, All; by new
route, 1858. Portland to Houlton, 3O6; by
new route, 22s. To one unacquainted with
the roundabout way of reaching US by rail,
the difference is surprising. To reach Houlton
from Bangor, one has to travel 6S miles
to gain 80. To Pressure Isle it is still
worse. The distance from that town to
Houlton by post road is AZ miles; by rail,
100. A better day is dawning; let US rejoice
