One Of the men who is deeply inter-

Neil Dow, which arc running in the
Saturday Express is Mr.. George f.
Mariner of WcStbrOOk, who WAS an
officer in the Thirteenth Maine regi-
mcnt, and served with General Dow in
the campaigns with which his reminis-
ccnccs deal. In the month of Septem-
!cr, 1863. Mr.. Mariner was an officer in
charge of a lot of Confederate Port
Hudson prisoners at Il Rampant street.

This prison Lieut. Mariner received his
commission as first lieutenant i'll Il
colorcd regiment, and the fact became
known among the prisoners that he
was sOCn to be transferred and take The
neld with his new company. One day
Col. Reid came to him and asked him
if he knew tie fate of white officers of
colorcd regiments if they fell into the
hands Of the Confcdcrates, remarking
that if he did not know he might better
be told and adding "a niger officer,
when caught, is usually hung Then
the rebel colonel handed to the North
erner letter he had carefully prepared
assuring him that in the event of his
ever becoming a prisoner 1t would
probably save his life. Lieut.. Mariner
| never had the ill fortune to need the
letter, but he cherishes the original,
which read as follows:
Now Orleans. La, Sept. 10, 1863.
Lieut.. G. F. Mariner:

Amos f. Gerald of Fairfield who has
had wide experience in electric rail-
road building says he believes there
will be very little of this construction
in Maine this year. Iron and steel are
high and other material in proportion
and at present there is not muC h
incentive for contractors to take hold OF
new propositions. Mr.. Gerald is of the
opinion. however, that there are many
places in the state where a road can be
built to advantage if it is possible to
construct it under normal conditions.
