Mrs. Petti grow, who walked behind,

pered, “I alius told you how it would

Now the Henderson and l’vayton farms
are united in one, and Herman ha- demon
strated to his neighbor-. 1 y tali grain and
fat meadow lands, the reasonableness ot
scientific farming. He never tires ot joking
his wife Rachel about her war, and if she
expects to hear the end of it during the
term of ner natural life, I fear she will lie
disappointed.

A liill reported by Mr. Farnsworth of
Illinois, from tlie Post Office Committee,
to abolish the franking privilege, making
a clean sweep of the whole tiling, passeil
the Mouse on Thursday by a vote of 17i
veas to 41 nays. This looks as if the
House intended to do its part towards
abolishing the privilege, which has no
doubt been enormously abused and be
I come u great burden, though nil the fault
• lias not been with Congressmen. It is
thought tile bill will not fgre so well in the
Senate.
Cult HIS FOUSl).
j Mr. Corbin, who succeeded in making
I fools of day Gould and dames Fisk, dr., |
lias at last been found by the investiga

knowledge of the gold conspiracy. It i»
said that he is very careful in his answers,
and that tin* committee will not make

with the administration.
JEFF. DAVIS' SUCCESSOR.
It is a curious circumstance, and one of
the revenges which Time brings around,
that the successor of Jeff. Davis in the
Senate of the I'nited States, is one of that
despised race which the haughty President
of the Southern Confederacy would have
trampled under Ids heel in everlasting
bondage if fortune had favored his
schemes. The seat to which Mr. Hovel
has been elected in the Senate is for the
tinexptred term of Jefferson Davis. This
vaulting of a negro into the place of the
foremost champion of a “white man .» gov
ernment", while that champion is a fugi
tive in the country that gave him birth, is
not only curious, but it contains an in
structive lesson which may apply to indi
viduals and classes as well as races. Mr.
Revel is said to be a man of tine pres
ence, of excellent sense, good business
ijualitications, and an eloquent speaker.
That he will tiuish the term with more
credit than Jeff. Davis began it. black
though he be. is not a question that ad
mits of the least doubt.

LETTER FROM WASUTLXOTO.V.
W A ' III NO TON. .Inn. - ■"> , 1*70.
Washington is now compli/tuly under a
rain cloud, but we have enjoyed a remarka
I lily mild winter thus, far. Our fine winters
are very attractive to northern people, and
after spending one season here they dislike to
remain among the bleak winds and driving
i storms of snow and sleet. Old citizens say
that the climate of Washington is much mild
er of late years than formerly, that a dozen
vthirs since a fortnight or three weeks of
sleighing could be counted upon every winter,
but now snow is a rarity and the trade in
sleighs and sleds is at a discount, and* the
■National Skating Park” remains nearly all
winter a forlorn puddle.
Past week the principal matters of interest
were the convention of the National Woman's
Suffrage Convention, which was in session
during Wednesday. Thursday and Friday,
and the hill before Congress for the admission
of Virginia. The Woman’s Convention was
a success, its most prominerU advocates being
present from various sections tit tin* North
and West. They met in the beautiful now
hall of the Young Men’s Christian Associa
tion, Lincoln Hall, the second one belonging
to that association in this country, Chicago
having built the first. Mrs. Elizabeth lady
Stanton was chosen President of the conven
tion, and made several speeches. Miss S. B.
Anthony, Editor of “The Revolution.*’ (the
official organ in the East of the Association,)
Rev. Olymphia Brown. Universalist preacher
at Bridgeport. Conn.. Madam Anneke. ar Ger
man lady. Miss Cozzens of St. Louis, and
numerous other strong minded ladies were
present. Senators Pomeroy and \\ ilson ad
dressed the convention and expressed hearty
sympathy for the cause. Letters were read
from Mrs. O’Donnovan Rossa. wife of the ,
Irish patriot, Clara Barton, Mrs. Lueretia
Mott, Senators Ross of Kansas, and Carpen- ,
ter of Wisconsin, expressing regret that they
w re not able to attend, and good wishes for
the cause of universal suffrage.
The following letter was read from John
Stuart Mill :
Avignon-. Doe. 11. 1869.
Dear Madam : I should have reason to be
ashamed of myself if your name was unknown
to me. 1 am not likely to forget one who
stood in the front ranks of the woman's rights
movement in its small beginning and helped it
forward* so vigorously in its early and most
difficult stage. You and Mrs. Mott have well
deserved to live to see the cause in it' present
prosperity, and may now fairly hope to see a
commencement of victory, in some of the
estates at least 1 have received many kind
and cordial invitations to visit the I'nitcd
States, and were I able, the great convention
to which you invite me would be a strong in
ducement to do so next year.
My dislike of a sea voyage would not in
itself prevent me. if there were not a greater
obstacle—want of time. 1 have many things
to do yet before 1 die, and some months (it is
not worth while going to America b*r less) is
a great deal to give at my time of life espec
ially, as it would not. like ordinary traveling,
he ii time of mental rest, but something very
different. 1 regret my inability the less, as
the friends of the cause in America are quite
able to dispense with direct personal co-oper
ation from England. The really important
co-operation is Ihe encouragement we give
one another tor the success of each in their
own country. In Great Britain this success
is much greater than there appears on the
surface, for our people, as you know, shrink
much more timidly than Americans from at
tracting public notice to themselves, and the
era of great public meetings on this subject
has not yet arrived in our country, though it
may be near at hand.
1 need hardly say how much I am gratified
at the mode in which my name was mentioned
in the resolutions of the National Convention
at Newport, and still more at the tribute to
the memory of my dear wife, who, from early
youth, was devoted to this cause, and bad
done invaluable service to it as the inspirer
and instructor of others, even before writing
the essay, so deservedly eulogized in your
resolutions. To her I owe the far greater
part of whatever I have myself been able to
do for the cause, for though from my boyhood
1 was a convinced adherent of it on the
ground of justice, it was she who taught me 1
to understand the less obnoxious bearings of
the subject, and its close connection with all
the great moral and social interests ot the
cause.
I am, dear madam, very sincerely, yours,
J. S. Mill.
Mrs. Paulina Wright Davis.
The object of the convention was to urge
upon Congress and the country the passage
of a Sixteenth Amendment to the Constitu
tion, striking out the word "male.”

Prince Arthur arrived here on Saturday
evening, and is the guest of Mr. Thornton,
the British Minister, lie is, of course, the
topic of conversation at present, but there is
not that intense eagerness to see him that
there w as to look at his brother, the Prince of
Wales. On Sunday he attended worship at
the principal Episcopal church, in company
with Minister Thornton. Monday at twelve
o’clock, he was presented to the President,
family, and suit, and in the afternoon visited
the capitol, where in company with the Brit
ish Embassy he occupied seats in the Diplo
matic galleries. llis appearance created
much excitement, especially in the lluuse,
where the galleries were crowded to get a
view of his Royal Highness. At seven in the
evening, Mr. Thornton gave a grand dinner
in honor of the Prince, at which the Vice ■
President, all the members of the Cabinet,
Chief Justice Chase, Senator Sumner, and
General Sherman were present. After the
dinner a reception was given to the Diplo
matte corps, Cabinet ministers anu their t.um
lics. About 11-110 to-day the Prince called
upon the Secretary of the Treasury who went
with him through the Kngraving and Print
ing Bureau, and several other parts of the
building. Mis appearance set the three
thousand employees of the Department into a
high state of “•flutter." lie seemed to take a
very intelligent interest in wljat he saw.
In his personal appearance the Prince is
rather below the medium height, well built, of
blonde complexion, retreating forehead, and
mild, pleasing expression of countenance, lie
is said by those who have conversed with him
to be very intelligent and ready; and certain
ly with the great advantages the young man
has had in educational training and travel he
ought to make a good appearance in society.
He forcibly reminds one of a “Freshman",
and has a rather mincing manner, suggesting
“Lord Dundreary.” ilis rank I believe is
now that of a Lieutenant in the British Army,
hut he is said to be destined to command that
army upon his arrival at more mature years.
He is but nineteen vears of age. On '1 liurs
day evening a hall will he given in his honor,
at the new Masonic Temple, to which only
those who are considered fit to associate with
royalty will he invited. On Saturday he re
turns to Mew York to finish his visit there.
Up had hotter he care ful not to fall into the j
hands of the Fenians ot that city. No doubt j
many of the lion. Johnny Morrissey’s constit
uents would like no better fun than punching
n 'ole in 'is Yd. liut I certainly hope for the
credit of America, no attempt wilf he made
ufon bis life.

rection against the Government of the I'nited
States, or that he had by act of Congress been
relieved of the political disabilities imposed
by the 14th amenoment.
Congress has again appropriated #80.000 to
be expended for the poor of the District. It
would certainly have been a much wiser aet
if instead of thus eneourageing idleness among
a set of lazy, shiftless blacks and whites who
hang around the street corners, they hail been
prov ided with work in the improvement of the
citv and compelled to earn an hottest living,
which they certainly will not do so long its
they can manage to keep body and soul to
gether on Government bounty.

To the Editor of the Kennebec Journal:
A cnarUr for a milro.ul from Lewiston to
Rum ford Falls has boon asked tor. trom the
Legislature this winter. The notice was pub
lished in the Lewiston Journal, previous to
the session of the present Legislature. I he
people in this section are wide-awake lor the
road, and are making every effort to obtain
the charter. A large and enthusiastic meet- ;
ing was held here on the -”>th. Hon. J. IL
11amEx-Mavorof Lewiston, and A. M. Jones,
Esq., were present and addressed the meet
ing. Stirring remarks were made by lion.
E. G. Harlow, Henry \V. Park, John Reed,
Esq., and some others in hearty support of the
road. The following committee was chosen
to go to Augusta, to urge the granting of the
charter for this newly proposed road: Lewis
ton, \V. 1\ Frye. N. Dingley. Jr., and J. G.
Coburn; Auburn, J. W. l’erkins, 8. Oakes;
Turner, Philo Clark ; Livermore, Lee Strick- j
land; Canton, J. 1). Hodge; Peru, Cyrus
Dunn; Dixfield, J. Randall. T. J. Cox;.
Carthage, J. 15. Staples; Weld, Win. Robin
son; Mexico, H. W. Park: Roxbury, Win.
V. Porter; Byron, fteuben Richmond; Ruin
ford, T. Walker, A. J. Knight; Hanover,
A. K. Kn&pp; Andover, J. A. French, Benj.
Poor; Franklin Plantation, Geo. Hopkins.
The people along the valley of the Andro
scoggin are anxious that a charter should be
granted. Their interests demand a railroad.
The route is the most feasible ever proposed
in Maine. It passes through a rich section of
country, and reaches the largest water power
in New England, that of Rumford Falls, winch
is almost wholly undeveloped. There is quite
an extensive water power at Dixfield, and
other minor powers near the route. Andover
is a very wealthy farming town, and four miles
of new road built through the towns of Rum
ford and Roxbury, already cut through and
passable in winter, brings Andover Corner
ten miles nearer Rumford Falls than to
Bryant’s Pond. Thousands ot acres of un
touched pine and spruce timber land lie only
about ten or twelve miles from Rumford Fall".
Tiie natural outlet of all this section of coun
try is the Androscoggin valb y, which is dotted
all along with thriving villages, waiting lor a
railroad, which will enable them to pour their
resources into the laps of the large cities of
our State. Nature never designed that this
section of country, rich in resources, should
not have an outlet by rail, or that the exten
sive water power at Rumford Falls should for
ever lie undeveloped. Let us have a railroad,
and that vast power will soon bear its pro
portion of the great manufacturing interests
of New England, and the level tract of land
near the Falls, which is now comparatively a
wilderness, will soon echo forth the hum of i
thousands of spindles, and the now silent air!
will ring with the merry voice of trade. Pe
titions are in circulation among the sevi ral
towns, asking for a charter for the road, and
will in a few days he presented to the Legis- j
1 iture bearing the signatures ot nearly every !
citizen of the towns to which they have been
sent. Another meeting will he held here the
29th of this month, and if the weather is pleas
ant probably there w ill be a largo crowd of
people present, for there is a deep interest
manifested here for the road. In this age of
progress and improvement, the wants of the
people demand a railroad, and if a charter
can be granted by our present Legislature,
before three years roll over our heads we shall
see the iron horse coursing his way up the
beautiful vall y of the Androscoggin, and the
largest water power in New England thus con
nected with the large cities of our State.

The .Egte Fertilizer Company just incor
porated by the Legislature with a capital of
©100,000, has completed the erection at lfooth
bay Harbor, of an extensive fertilizer manu
factory. The material used is sea-weed and
kelp, which is dried by steam and then ground
up and animal and vegetable ingredients add
ed. The power used is a 25-horse engine;
the capacity of the manufactory will be be
tween five and ten tons daily of what is claim
ed to be a superior fertilizer. Its merits
have been fully tested and compare most
favorably w ith those of other fertilizers. It
is especially adapted to the culture of linseed
and grapes, and may be used for the same
purpose as the Peruvian guano. It has been
in use in France anti other European counties
for some years. Luther Maddox, Iisq., of
Hoothbay is the patentee and introducer in this
country; the manufactory at Iloothbav is the
first and only one on this continent.
The gross earnings of the Amlrocoggin Hail
road for the year June 30, 1809, were $195,
■177.18. Expenses of operation, $106,867.42.
Net earnings $89,110,00. The increase of
passengers over the preceding year was
7.577 ; the increase in freight, 5,944,71 tons,
and in net earnings, $10,251.45. There is thus
indicated a healthy ami improving condition
of the traffic of the road.
Mayor G. W. Kimball Jr. and John S. Case
Esq. of Kocklund were in town Thursday and
Friday, looking after needed alterations in the
city charter of KotUaud.
Cor on *>n Osori* Kemepy.—We invite '
attention to tilt* ad> ertiscimnt of Mrs. Dins
more’s cough and croup remedy which appears
in an another column. The present season
has been very fruitful of bad colds and coughs (
which are tough anti unyielding; and it this
remedy be equal to what we are assured it is j
by persons who have used it, those suffering
from this cause will thank us for calling their ;
attention to it. Much of it has been sold in
this vicinity for several years past and dealers
inform us that it gives the best satisfaction of
any cough remedy which they know of, being
safe and effectual; and they mention nutner*
ous cases proving its remarkable remedial
qualities. So uniform is this testimony in its
favor that we should not hesitate to advise a i
trial of it in severe eases of hoarseness, had
colds, and croup. Messrs. A. M. Dinstnore
& Co., are the proprieters; audit is for sale
by dealers in medicine generally.
The following patents have been granted to
citizens of Maine during the week ending .Ian.
