In another column wo present to our readers a carefully prepared no lico of tho Hon. 'William Pitt Fossen- den, late United States Senator from Maine, who has resigned his seat in tho Senate to succeed tho Hon. Sal-1 mon P. Chase as Treasurer of tho Unit ed States. Tho vacancy in tho Senate thus caused by Mr. Fcssendcn's resig nation will, probably, bo temporarily filled by executive appointment. Mr. Fcssendcn's character as poli tician, scholar and gentleman, rendered his position as leader in tho Senate, as easy and undisputed. In view of tho fact that occasional indecency and drunkenness disgraces boiiio of our highest legislative body and, in view of tho fact that the grave decorum and calm practical sense of duty which custom associates with tho very name of a Senate has recently been ignored, it is not strange that tho country will look with some interest to sco how Maine fills tho placo which Mr. Fcs senden has left vacant. To borrow tho language of another, "It has been tho distinction of Maine to give tho nation al council ono of their leading minds, a statesman whom tho remarkable unanimity of all parties has designated as tho proper man for tho most diffi cult place in tho wholo circle of our affairs to-day. Tho country at largo has an interest in tho manner in which Bho now discharges tho public duty which rests upon her, of tilling his placo with somo man of roal strength, capacity.and character. Thero are not wantingamonghersons men of the first class, amply qualified by cxporieneo, breadth of view and intellectual pow er, to fill worthily the placo which is vacant and givo tho Senato a model, if not a guide, in tho way of its duty. Thero aro mon liko Governor Kent, or Chief Justice Apploton, or General Sheplcy, and others, whoso qualifica tions for legislative position, and whoso thorough comprehension of tho national emergency and its obligations is un questioned. Other states cannot bo uninterested spectators of tho suc cess with which Maino moots this sol emn responsibility of selection. She owes it to them and to tho nation, as well as to hcrsclf.not to let the placo in her gift now go by default as tho prize for political intrigue, but to be stow it where it will most effectually servo tho national interests, by raising tho character of our national legislation." To TJic TrantcripU Mil. EniTon: I noticed in ono of your recent issues an articlo on tho threo commissions, tho Army Scrvico Com mission, the Sanitary, and the Christian Commissions. Tho articlo was excel lent and gave a good account for each, as any ono must kuow that is at all ac- pearanco to this inland Newport, which must hereafter bo reckoned among tho popular places to bo visited by all sum mer travolors. And Mansfield Mountain still main tains its superior elevation abovo all other summits in tho Stato, and its at tractions aro not excelled by thoso of any other locality, whether mountain or lake. Tho new hotel at Stowo which Mr. Bingham has completed sinco last summer, large, commodious, and excellent every way as it is, will, we apprchond, provo entirely inade quate to the accommodations of tho thousands who now visit Mansfield, as they used to Mt. "Washington. The tido of travel has set that way with a constantly increasing volume for somo years, and the popularity of Mansfield seems now to bo wido and well estab lished. Camel's Hump Mountain is tho next highest point in tho Stato to Mansfield, and wo learn is this year receiving "An Old Stratagem Tried Again:" More than ton days ago, as wo know on the best authority, Gen. Grant in- lormed tho War Department oi mo fact that certain troops had been sent by Leo into tho Valley, with orders to cross tho Potomac and do what dam age they could in Pennsylvania and Maryland. Grant informed tho Secre tary of War of Leo s directions and in tentions, told him what forco to expect, and showed, in short, that ho know what was going on. At tho samo time ho mado all tho necessary preparations to meet tho plans of the rebels. Ho did not, however, attempt to guard every foot of railroad near tho Potomac; ho did not lino that river with troops, bo as to prevent the cross ing of rebel troopers; ho did not break up his own plans to counteract thoso of Lee; if ho had, ho would'havo done precisely what Lee wanted. No; Grant left something for tho soldiors in garrison and the militia of the Freo States to do; Jio threw upon tho citi zens tho burden of defending thoir 1 property against tho scattered and weak bands which he knew could easi ly bo driven off by a few resolute men. Ton rebels burned the houso of Gov. Bradford; fourteen destroyed tho rail road at Coekoysville; two hundred seized the cars at Magnolia; and bands of from four or fivo to twenty appear in different parts of the country, rob farmers, burn bridges, and rido away on the best horses they can find. Meantime this attempt at a diversion by the rebels probably reminds Gen. Grant of a very similar affair which oc curred whilo ho was besieging Vicks burg last year.

Suppose war wore to break out between the United States nnd Great Britain and though nobody expects it, strangor things than that would be, have happened within tho last four years, Vermont would then bo a bor der Stato; and tho want of an efiiciont military organization, by which any part or all of tho able bodied men with in her borders could bo in battlo array within any twenty-four hours after an order from tho chief magistrate, would bo folt at once. Yet it could not bo brought about, wero tho Legislature ever so ready to act, under a long tinio.

While ho ap proves tho general principle and aim of tho bill, he raises objections to it substantially tho same as thoso stated in tho Jtepublican of Saturday. Ho docs not believe that Congress has the power to abolish slavery in tho States, or that it can bo abolished by the gen oral government, except by an amend ment of tho constitution, which he holies to sec adopted. It follows of course that Congress cannot impose emancipation upon any Stato as a con dition precedent upon reconstiuction, or readinission to tho Union. The President is also unwilling to limit re construction to any inllexiblo mode, as this bill does, but desires to have the matter left open, so that each easo may bo determined according to its merits and the attending circumstances. Still more unwilling is tho President to re mand to territorial or military rule the States that have adopted his plan and re-organized as free States under it Louisiana and Arkansas. Ho feels that it would bo a great wrong and dis couragement to the loyal citizens of these states, as it manifestly would. Novortheloss he approves tho system of reconstruction defined in tho bill as ono out of several possiblo methods, and will accept it whenover any recon structing State adopts it. The Presi- lent further promises executive and military aid to tho rebel States that shall organize loyal governments. This proclamation of tho president is unusual and extraordinary in form. It is uot to be regarded as an apology ton. Cumberland County. Mo., and in 1820 removed to Portland. In 1831 ho was elected to tho stato legislature, and though the voungest member, ho rose at once to distinction in that body, both as a debator nnd a legislator. In a debate on tho U. S. Bank tho youth ful orator displayed remarkablo spirit and ability. From 18H2 to 181)0 Mr. Fcsscnden devoted himself exclusively to his profession, in which ho very soon rose to the first rank both as cousnellor and advocate In 1838 ho was solicited to becomo a candidate for congress, but declined. In 1830 ho was again chosen to the legislature from Portland. The houso was large ly democratic. Mr. Fessonden was placed on the judiciary committee, and though a whig from the first, and al- ! ways distinguished for uncompromis- j ing assertion of his principles, ho was ' made chairman of tho house commit tee to revise the statutes of the state. In 18 10 ho was nominated by accla mation as tho whig candidate for con gress, and was elected, outrunning the strength of his part. In congress he participated in tho current debates, and made speeches on tho loan bill, bankrupt act, army appropriation bill, against the repeal of tho bankrupt law, and in reply to Caleb dishing on Mr. C.'s personal position. He was nomi nated for re-election in 1813 but de clined, preferring to return to tho prnctico of his profession. Meantime ho received in tho legislature of that year tho votes of tho whig party for a vacant seat in the u. S. senate. 11 lh-lo he was again induced, by con siderations growing out of tho po sition of parties on tho temperance qustion, to become a candidate for tho stato legislature, to winch ho was chos en, as also in tho succeeding year, when he declined to servo further. While a member in lS-lfi he again ro- ccived'the votes of tho whigs of the legislature for a seat in the U.

Gradually after tho war of 1812-14, tho Freo States let their militia system fall to decay, and finally to disappear entirely, so far as any olemonts of effi ciency existed in it.

Mr. Fessenden declined tho contest tho caso before congress from an unwillingness to servo in that body, which he had decisively expressed in advanco to tho conventions of tho wing and freesoil parties,, which, against his wishes, had insisted upon nominat ing him.

Scott's nomination, but was ono of the G7 who opposed and voted against the platform at that tiino set up by the whig party.
