To t he Editor of thi Kennebec Journal:
I have throe hours to wait for the train, and
will spend part of it in a brief sketch of sur
roundings here etc. I have just spent two
hours quite pleasantly in the colored school of
this place, taught by William H. French of
llallowcll, who is very satisfactorily employed
in the work, his enrolment is forty-four pupils,
and all seemed earnestly engaged i.1 doing all
they could 10 improve their understanding.
The Association lias given this school a set of
outline maps, and it is very interesting to ob
serve tile real manifested by the geography
class in learning the location of the different
countries and States, oceans, rivers etc. Some
good readers were found here, and any
one who will take the trouble to witness the
exercises of this school, will come to the con
clusion that the color of the skin being black,
does not p-event a thirst for learning,—or a
rapid progre-s in acquiring it.
In this small vill igc is located the Randolph
Macon College, recently established here.
The buildings are small quite unlike those of
similar institutions in the Xorth. The sur
roundings are very handsome and more suita
ble buildings arc in contemplation.
We arc a State and in the Union again, but
as expected our Governor shows by his Mes
rage that he is no longer a republican as he
now has the desired booty for claiming that ap
pellation. Republicanism and liberal ideas
will make but little show here for years to
come. There is a demand for the labor of the
freedmen in the cotton-growing States and
they are fast leaving here for the liberal wages
now offered them there. The whites are much
alarmed for fear they will be obliged to go
without servants or pay something more than
their food and clothes, which has already been
wretchedly poor. This place has seven dram
shops, and the victims of ebriety arc plenty in
both races.
The weather is very fine just now; farmers
aru plowing ami as yet we hare had no frost
to prevent it, or even one snow storm. Every
one who enjoys it speak highly of the climate
here. Thu train whistles in the distance and ;
I um off'for Milford. Respect. Yours,
Samuel H. Jones.
MO KM OS ISM OS LOSG ISLASV.
For some weeks past the citizens of Free
port and vicinity have been considerably agi
tated by a series of lectures exposing Mor
monisin, delivered by tlie Ucv. F. W. Ware,
and also lectures vindicating their principles
and practices, by elders Thomas Jackson and
William W. Biter. Mr. Ware delivered a
lecture Mouday evening at llockville Center,
Tuesday evening at Baldwinsvillc, Wednes
day evening at Freeport, and last evening at
Baldwinsville. The last evening lecture was
a repetition of the Freeport lecture and was
repeated by special request. The lectures on
both sides have called out the people in great
nmnbers, those against Mormonism being
held in the churches and the lecture in vin
dication of that peculiar institution in the danc
ing hall at the hotel in Freeport. Mr. Ware
very ably reviewed the course of the hatter
Day Saints from the first organization of that
Church; exposed the criminality of Joseph
Smith and Brigham Young; charged them
with throwing aside the Bible and substituting
the Book of Mormon ; with believing that (Jod
is a man and the Holy Ghost a kind of electric
ity ; with teaching that there is a female god
atul that women have no souls, hut enter
heaven as a companion of man; that there
are two kinds of marriages, one for life only,
which docs not unite the persons in the other
world, and the other for life and eternity, .
wltich is respected in heaven, and that Brig
ham Young’s agent has power to make these
eternal marriages.
Mr. Hyatt, a backsliding Mormon, at this
lecture made some grave charges again.-t the
Utah saints in connection with Mountain
Meadow in ssacre. During the entire lecture
a Mormon deleg "i,in'were present and were
greatly excited at the charges, and often in
terrupted tlf speakers, denying all the alle
gations, in i uf-red to prove to the contrary.
On Ton I y evening, at the Mormon
gathering, tb ti .11 was filled with a large
number of i a-in w converts to Mormonism.
and in addition m iny of the first citizens of
Freeport. Elder Thomas Jackson, in vin
dicating polygamy, claii led that the present
condition of society dent tnded that this doc
trine should be practised l y a large number or
else in a short time society would be entirely
corrupt. He stated that in New York city
there wore thirty thousand more marriageable
females than males; that in New England
there were three ladies who ltave urrived at
an age suitable for entering the married state,
and yet single, to one marriageable man. He
claimed that in Salt Lake City with 200,000
inhabitants, there was not a single prostitnte;
that in New York city, where this peculiar in
stitution was condemned, and within the hear
ing of 500 church bells, could be found 20,000
ynungwomen who lived by prostituting them
selves.
The speaker said that the large preponder
ance of females in our country made u life of.
toil or of shame uecessary for them, nnless
polygamy is practised. This speaker was
very violent against those who opposed Mor
monism, and especially against Mr. Ware.
W. W. Biter followed in a more liberal spirit,
and evidently made a better effect on the au
dience. The Eatter Day Saints are attempt
ing to get the permanent possession ot a hall
near Hempstead village. During the coming
week a number of meetings will lie held in the
county, and also in Suffolk county.—Herald.

Indurpensnblf to nil desirov* of being well inf&rmed \
on the great subject* of the day.
1. The Edinburgh Review.
Thin is the oldest of the scries. In its main fea
tures it still follows in the path marked out bv
Brougham, Jeffrey, Sydney Smith, and Lord Hol
land, its original touuders and first contributors. ,
3. The London Quarterly Review,
which commences its 128th volume with the January
number, was set on foot as a rival to the Edin
burgh. It resolutely maintains its opposition in
politics, and shows equal vigor in its literary de
partment.
3. The Westminster Review
has Just closed its 92d volume. In point of literary 1
ability this Review is fast rising to a level with its !
competitors. It is the advocate of political and re- ;
ligious liberalism.
4. The North British Review,
now in its .list volume, occupies a very high posi
tion in periodical literature. Passing beyond the
narrow formalism of schools and parties, it appeals
to a wider range of sympathies and a higher integ
rity of convictiou.
6. Blackwood's Edinburgh Magas ins
was commenced 52 years ago. Equaling the Quar
terlies in its literary and scientilic departments, it
has won a wide reputation for the narratives and
sketches which enliven its pages.

Consumption.
Da. Schexce’s Pulmonic 8v*cr for the cure of Coughs,
Colds su<i Consumption.
Da. tk hsmcx's Skawkkd Tonic for the cere of Dyspep
sia ami all the Debilitated Conditions of the Stomach.
Da. Smaxcs’s Mamdrakb Pilis for Diseases of the
Liver, or to act as a gentle Purgative.
All of these* three medicines are often required in curing
Consumption, though the Pulmonic Syrup alone has cured
many devperatc cases. The Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake
Pills assist in regulating the Stomach and Liver, and help
the Pulmonic Syrup to digest and search through the Mood
vessels, by which means a cure is soon effected.
These medicines are conscientiously offered to the public
os tlie only safe, certain and reliable remedies for Pul
monary Consumption, and for all those m<*rbid conditions
of the body which lead to that fatal disease. Liver Com
plaint and Dyspepsia are often forerunners of Consump
tion, and when they manifest themselves they require the
most prompt attention.
The Pulmonic Syrup is a medicine which has had a
long probation before the public Its value has been
proved by the thousands of cures it has made through a
period of more than thirty-five years, in all of which time
its reputation has constantly increases, and the most ob.
stinate skepticism can no longer doubt that it is a remedy
which may be used with confidence in all cases which
admit of a cure.
If the patient will persereringly follow the directions
which accompany each bottle, he will certainly be cured,
if his lungs are not too much wasted to make a cure possi
ble. Even in cases supposed to he Incurable, when friends
and physicians have despaired, the use of this medicine
has saved the life of the patient, and restored him to per
fect health.
Dr. Schenck himself was cured in precisely such cir
cumstances, and many others have been equally fortunate
by judiciously making a timely use of Dr. Schenck’s
remedies.
Dr. Schenck does not say that all cases of Pulmonary
Consumption are within the reach of medicine, but he
emphatically asserts, that often when patients have the
most alarming symptoms, such as a violent cough, creeping
chills, night sweats, and general debility, even to such a
degree that they are obliged to lie in bed, and when they
are given up by their physician, they may still be cured.
No medical treatment can create new lungs, but when the
lungs are very badly diseased, and to some extent de
stroyed, a cure may be effected by Dr. Schenck’s med
Also, In Scrofulous diseases these medicines are equally
efficient. Dr. Schenck has photographs of a number of
persons who have been nearly covered with running sores,
and now all healed up. This shows its purifying properties,
which must be done to heal cavities in the lungs.
In the treatment of Consumptlon.it is of the utmost
importance to give vigor and a health tone to the system.
Hence it is necessary to strengthenthe appetite of the
patient and improve the digestion. Proper nourishment
is required, together with such mean as will make the
food easily digestible. The articles most suitable for the
diet of consumptive patients are designated in Dr.
Schenck's Almanacs, which are distributed gratuitously.
In general, the most highly nutritious articles are to be
preferred; but the digestive organs must be strengthened
In order to make either food or medleiqp serviceable. Thin
requirement (s met by the Sea Weed Toulc, and for this
purpose It was designed.
When the digestive powers are put in good order, the
food has Its proper effect, the system of the patient is In
vigorated, and the lungs begin to exercise their functions
in a normal and healthy manner. Then the healing power*
of the Pulmonic Syrup will complete the cure.
Pulmonary Consumption is almost always complicated
with Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint. Schenck’s Man
drake Pills are Intended to remove obstructions from the
liver and restore its healthy action. They have all the
efficacy which is ascribed to calomel or “blue mass,** and
are warranted not to contain a particle of any mineral
poison. These pills cure the most ebstinate costiveness,
sick headache, piles, bilious affections, and all othenlisease*
which arise from a torpid or obstructed condition of the
liver. One box of theee pills will prove the efficacy of the
medicine. _ ....
In Consumption, the Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake
Pills are Invaluable auxiliary medicines. They relieve the
sufferings of the patient and assist the Pulmonic Syrup
in effecting a cure. They have been found useful in ad
vanced stages of Consumption, where the lungs were al
most entirely destroyed, and all symptoms, according to
the Judgment of physicians, Indicated speedy death. The
lives of patients who were actually in a dying condition
have been preserved for months hy the use of Schenck’■
three great remedies.

The social and political principles which
the New York Evening Post has so long
and faithfully supported, it will continue
in the future to advocate. What these
principles are, our readers well know;
they may be summed up in few words:
National Unity, State Independence, and
Individual Freedom nnd Equa.ity ol
Rights. The perpetuity and supremacy of
the Union, as the guaranty of our national
strength and glory ; the Independence of
the States, in all their local affairs, as the
guaranty against an oppressive and dan
gerous centralization: the Freedom nnd
Equality of the Individual, without regard
to birth or accident, as the rightful end of
all government, and the surest means of
soeia'. development, personal happiness
and national progress.
These principles the Evening Tost will
support nnd recommend to the people,
without regard to party associations. We
shall never support any party in its de
partures from them, and shall endeavor,
so far as our influence extends, to cause
them to be recognized by men of all par
ties.
Five Copies or over, for each copy 3 00
As a newspaper, the Evening Post,
edited bv WM. CULLEN BBYANT, as
sisted by an able corps of writers, will be
conducted with the snme care which has
marked it hitherto, to exclude from all its
columns, these devoted to advertisements
as well as its reading columns, everything
which would offend against morality and
correct taste. It shall be the care of its
proprietors to see that all its departments
are conducted with the utmost ability
which a liberal expenditure ot money and
unflagging industry can command. Its
editorial discussions will be unpartisan,
and devoted to the elucidation and ad
vancement of sound principles; its literary
criticisms shall be impartial, and as able
as we can make them ; its foreign corres
pondence, which has been greatly im
proved during the past year, wili during
the present year be more varied and inter
esting than ever before; its home corres
pondence also, and especially that from
such central points of interest as Washing
ton and Albany, will be full and accurate.
Its financial and commercial reports,
which have made the paper a necessity to
business men in all parts of the country,
shall be made with the same vigilance,
accuracy and impartiality which nowr
characterize them. Its agricultural, ship
ping, market and other reports shall be as
trustworthy and complete as industry and
the expenditure of money can make them.
In short, we mean our journal to be so
conducted that it t^all be read with inter
est and benefit by all the members of the
family; and as it is one of
THE OLDEST!
it shall also be oue of the best new spapers
published in America.
