The water has at length worn an almost
continuous channel through the ice between
Augusta and Hallowed.
There are about 25,000 tons of ice in store
houses at Uttflowdl, and upwards of twenty
five thousand times that amount not in store
houses, awaiting tl»e opening of navigation.
S. P. rimumer, Ksq., the new city clerk, is
fitting up a store opposite the post office,
which he intends to opt-n in a few days with a
Mock ot fancy goods.
The wreck of the Hnllowel! .and Chelsea
bridge has been dissected, and the lumber and
iron laved, by Mr. Thaddeus H. Day of
HallowelL
The stock of hard ware, stoves. &t\, of M. G.
Brooks has been purchased by Williamson
& Greenwood, who will continue the business
at the old stand. We bespeak for the new
firm a fair share of the public patronage.
There will lx* a -great moral and religious
exhibition of dissolving views at the Congre
gational vestrv this evening at 7 1*2 o’clock.
The exhibition is one which will please the
children and furnish a profitable evening’s
enjoyment to all.
Wo loarn that ttev- C. G. ileCully, pastor
of the South Parish (Congregational) Church
ip Hallows'll, contemplates a visit to the
Sandwich 1-lands, where hts brother. whom
he has not metfor fifteen years re aides. The
parish, though reluctant to forego his minis
trations, will probably grant him a recess for
six months.
The voters in TTalloirell will meet in their
City Hall on Wednesday, at 2 P. M., to con
sider the subject of the city rendering aid to
any party or parties proposing to erect a
steam-mill tor the manufacture of lumber in
that city. We understand that a gentleman
of experience and enterprise has submitted a
proposition, and if the citizens accept it. the
City will soon boast of a large steam saw mill.
The new railroad bridge will not only be a
durable, but a most beautiful structure. It
will be painted in a highly ornamental man
ner. and will be the must expensive and dura
ble structure on the liue of the road, and will
probably not be surpassed by any bridge in
New England. Three spans will be here in
■eighty days from last Tuesday, and the two
remaining spans in the course of a fortnight
from the expiration of that time.
Two important railroad meetings are to be
held in this city to-day. At eleven o'clock
in the forenoon there will be a meeting of the
stockholders of the Somerset ■& Kennebec
Railroad, to make such arrangements in re
gard to building an iron bridge at this city,
and forming a permanent connection with the
Portland & Kennebec Railroad Company to
lease, consolidation or otherwise, as shall he
found expedient. In the afternoon, at half
past three o'clock, there will be a meeting of
the stockholders of the Portland & Kennebec
Railroad, to act upon the question of consoli
dating the capital stock of said road w ith the
capital stock of the Somerset ■£ Kennebec
Railroad Company.

Mr. Stearns’ Sermon.
Rev. (i. F. Stearns of the Now (. hurch.
preached in the Unitarian Church on Sunday
evening, on the subject of “Man a Spiritual
Being,” front the text in Matthew, 7th chap
ter, 16th verse, “Ye shall know them by their j
fruits7 do men gathe r grape s of thorns, or
figs of thistles ?” Why do men never gather ,
grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Because j
the natural structures that hear grapes and j
figs are not fitted to produce thorns or this
tles. This sequence* of effects in the natural ;
world is universally acknowledged. It is
also so in a spiritual sense. Kvery one must j
reap for himself the fruits of his labors. We !
hove the power to improve and change our
purposes—to make new* hearts—to become 1
good or evil, true or false. We are now w hat
our life hitherto has made us. This spiritual
power is given to man alone. Because he j
has freedom of choice, he is accountable for
the use of that freedom. There can he no
appeal from this. No man can receive more
than he is capable of receiving or fitted for.
It is not the mere organism of matter, the
frame, the body, that makes the real man;
but the human heart, the living soul. lie
may be like an animal, and merely “vege
tate,” or indulge bis animal passions. From
a being not spiritually organized no spiritual
fruits can be gathered. One receptive of spir
itual love and thought will bear spiritual fruit.
That man can bear these fruits proves that he
is a spiritual being, and that he w ill live for
ever. There is a God, and all things serve
Him. This will not appear to those whose
minds are spiritually closed. No one lives
who denies that there is a God. It lie does
not serve a true one, then he will serve a
debased one, perhaps himself. There is no
mind open to know that there is no God; only
the mind that is closed can conceive of suc h
a thing. Man can receive nothing which he
does not derive from heaven, from the one
source of love and thought. Man’s power to
love and serve God proves the actual presence
and existence of a spiritual organization with
in him. That the* mind is an organization is
shown by its difference in different individu
als, there being scarcely two persons of the
same mind. This spiritual nature of man
Involves the existence of a spiritual world, in
which it is to be developed, and from w hich
the spiritual man receives iiis life. The nat
ural tree can be made corrupt or good by
grafting; man can do this to himself spirit
ually. From bearing thorns and thistles we
may ba engrafted into the true vine, or con
tinue ever to bear thorns and thistles. Man,
from the animal part of his nature, cannot
change himself; hut by obtaining spiritual
i help he can do so. The human soul died out,
when he sought knowledge from himself, and
man continued in that death until He came
wln> uttered the words of the tc\t. AVc
naturally liear thorns and thistles, ( util we
receive the germ of life, the tree is corrupt
and the fruit also. Christ did not come merely
to reconcile lucit unto Hod. hut to do an actual
work, to save them from their sins and bring
them unto himself, liy His help we can cut
otr the natural fruit and engraft the spiritual
fruit.
The speaker then spoke of the great reform
that had taken place within the last few years,
j of the increase of knowledge, the progress of
i science, and the onward march of truth.
Spiritual tilings are not at a stand- till, but
the time is hastening when every doctrine
shall he known by its fruit. He then pro
ceeded briefly to define the peculiar belief of
the New Church, and said that it is not a now
sect which in striving fur ascendency over
other sects, hut it embraces a doctrine which
has eotiie down from heaven ; one that looks
upon the life as well as principles. He an
nounced that lie should soenk at the same
place on Wednesday and Thursday i rollings
on the subject of the '• Resurrection."

Mr. Trumbull answered that there was a
provision in the bill, that any ot the states or
territories which should he carried out of
Texas, should he admitted with or without
slavery, as the people of such states and ter
ritories might desire. This is on contraven
tion with tin* Constitution of the I'nitcd
States, and the committee were debating on
amendment thereto. The subject was then

the San Domingo treaty.

cedencc over it.

A la tter Front Col. linker in Relation
to the Piegan Massacre.
The following was recei' cd to-day from j
Army Head (^unaters. Fort Ellis, Montana.
March 23d. Ocmral 1\ 11. Sheridan, Chi
cago :
In answer to your telegram received on
the 23d inst.. I report after having made,
every effort to get the judgment of the offi
cers of my command, I was satisfied that the
number approximates as nearly to the exact
truth as possible. The number killed at
Piegan village was 173. of whom 120 were!
able bodied men. and 33 women and children.
One hundred and forty women and children j
were afterwards captured and released- I
believe every effort was made by the officers
and men to save* the non-combatants, and
Mich wome n and children that were killed,
won accidently killed. The report pub
lished in the eastern papers, is wholly ami
maliciously false. It seems incredible that
the false assertions of two persons, neither of
whom has made any effort to inform himself
in the matter, should outweigh the reports of
those engaged in the fight, and who feel that
they have nothing to palliate or toucicl in
their conduct. All that the officers demand
ol the authorities is a full and complete in
vestigation of the campaign, and less than
this cannot he conceded them.

Sclmrz made a speech against the ratification

ground that we do not need any more south

would lead to a further absorption of foreign
territory with inhabitants unfitted for republi
can institutions.
