The republicans of Benton have chosen
Messrs. A. H. Learned, Sunnier Hodgkins
and Joseph L. True, delegates to the State
Convention.
The new dwelling house of Daniel O'Heron,
in Winterport, was wholly destroyed by fire
at 2 o'clock Tuesday morning. Cause un
known. Insured.
All the railroad companies in the State will
take passengers to the Republican State Con
vention at Augusta for one fare for the round
trip. This wdi materially reduce the expense*
to delegates.
The Sprague Company at Augusta. Me., is
going to rebuild its dam and will finish its new
factory, which is to contain 20,000 spindles,
as soon as possible.— The Protectionist and

The beautiful steam propeller and pleasure
•yacht Twilight, Col. James T. Patten of Bath,
was at North’s wharf yesterday in all her pride.
The Col. with his well known liberality, en
tertained a few Maine Railway officers and
merchants for an hour very pleasantly. The
Twilight is in ail respect* a first class yacht;
all her appointments well remind one of a
Cunardcr such as the Beotia. Bhe is a gem
of ji craft, and good for 13 knots per hour.
, Thos. Lamhard, Esq., at his car manufactory
<n tills city, has nearly completed his large
contract for manufacturing freight platform
cars for the Knox & Lincoln Railroad. Yes
terday several of the cars were on the track
of the Portland & Kennebec Railroad. They
will be taken to the Androscoggin Railroad,
•where they will be used until the opening of
'the road for*which they were specially manu
factured. These cars are constructed of the
best of material and reflect credit upon the
manufacturer.
Augusta can now be seen in her most at
tractive attire. A sight of the valley from
“Maine Top” or “Burnt Hill,” is wortii trav
elling miles to secure. People spend a great
ideal of money and take long sea voyages to
^earch the old world for charming and inter
esting historical scenes, but they must turn
their footsteps to the valley of the Kennebec
to find those beauties of nature, that unadorn
ed by human skill and contrivance, image
themselves as in a mirror upon the soul of
the beholder.
The rain prevailed throughout the State.
It was just in season for the crops, as late
sown grains and grasses were suffering se
riously. The storm will be of incalculable
benefit to the agricultural interests of the
State. There were heavy showers in some
parts of the State Monday. The Argus says
a gentleman from Limerick, York county,
says that the shower extended there and also
was particularly heavy in Turner, Androscog
gin county. It rained Tuesday, P. M.. in
Portland.
: A day or two since, while the freight was
being discharged at the wharf in this city,
from one of the schooners loaded with coal
for the Insane Hospital, several of the inmates
of that institution wore assisting in the work.
While thus engaged one of them ad varied to
the edge of the wharf and jumped into the
river, apparently with the intention of Am
initting suicide, as he made no effort to save
himself. He was rescued just in time to save
lus life. On being questioned in regard to the
rash act, he said that he wanted to drown him
self, as he preferred that kind of death to be
ing burned up.

It will be seen by the following of-jSsA-al no

By command of
Maj. Evbrett W. Stetson, Surgeon,
i Augusta, June 1#70.
As stated in our issue of yesterday, the
Trustees of the State Agricultural Society,
at a meeting held at the Mansion House on
Tuesday, voted to accept the proposition ol
the citizens of Augusta, and hold the next
State Fair in this city the coming autumn. A
majority of the Hoard was present, and the
vote, we understand, was a unaimmous one.
No better location could have been selected
for the Fair than Is secured by this city ; as
our advantages in regard to hotels and access
ibility from all parts of the State are second
only to Portland, which having had the State
Fair and New England Fair, two years in suc
cession put in no proposition for it this year, —
while in regard to the facilities afforded by
ample grounds with a good track, within a few
rods from the railroad, where all freight in
tended for the Fair can be discharged, the lo
cality far exceeds that of any other brought
to the attention of the Trustees. The location
too, is in the centre of the best formed section
of Maine where a better representation of its
steeds, flocks herds and agricultural products
can be brought together, than at any poin'
where a State Fair would be likely to be held.
If, as we are assured, the object of these fairs
is to improve the agriculture of Maine in all
Its branches, and if the aims of the Society as
a State Society are to be carried out, its fairs
should certainly be held in different parts ol
Maine, and upon this ground if no other in*
ducements were presented, we claim that tbs
bolding of the Fair this year, belongs to the
valley of the Kennebec.
The premium list of the Society lias been
thoroughly revised, and will be given to th
public at an early day. It is exceedingly ju
dicious and embraces liberal premiums lot
every branch of our agricultural, manufactur
ing and household industry. A meeting o
the Trustees is also called for the 28th inst.,
in this city, to perfect further arrangement!
for the Fair, of which, as well as subsequent
meetings, we shall keep our readers dyly in.

I Unity Village.
Dear Joi-rw.il: — This is one of the
| most pleasant places in the State for summer
: resort. With a beautiful lake just above the
I village, more than five miles in length, and
! two in width, it is a fine place for fishing and
j sailing. The farms in the vicinity are very 1
: large and generally level; the soil is rich and
productive. In the village there are six or
seven stores, one hotel, and a number of man
1 ufacturing establishments, all doing a good
business. The Belfast & Moosehead Hail
road, which will pass through the northern
extremity of the village, will be a great ad
vantage to the place, as it will make a more
ready market for the produce of the farmers,
as well as to make the means of transporta
tion much easier and cheaper. The contract
ors on the railroad are progressing finely with
their work. 1 am informed that the grading
is nearly finished. The first iron was laid on
the 20th ult., at Belfast. Whole length of the
road, 33 1-3 miles, the whole to be completed
by the first of October next. The road is un
der the supervision of Col. Wildes of Skow
hegan. Crops in this vicinity are looking
finely, and undoubtedly an abundant harvest
will cheer the hearts of our farmers.

Washington, Juno 8.
Senate. The Diplomatic and Consular Ap-1
propriatiou and the Si wile Labor Contract*
bills were reported from the Committees with
amendments.
The Indian Appropriation hill was then
taken up, and Mr. Pomeroy’s amendment for
the removal of the Osage Indians, was agreed
to.
The Vice President announced as a special
committee to investigate the imprisonment of
Hatch by the Dominican government, and
the circumstances therewith connected,
Messrs. Xyo. Ferry, Howard. Williams.
W arm r and Vickers, and after an executive
session, the Senate took a recess.
At the evening session, the Indian Appro
priation bill was passed with an amendment
appropriating $178,000, and $48,000 interest
tojpay the Pottawotamie Indians, the balance
due them under stipulations in 11 different
treaties, from 1795 to 1804. The hill was

House. The Funding hill was taken up
and numerous amendments made. After a
long discussion the yeas and nays were or
dered, and Mr. Kldridgc moved to adjourn
which was carried, 75 to 19, thus virtually |
killing the hill.
The Speaker said that should the House |
adjourn, the pending question being should
the l/ill he engrossed and read a third time.the
hill would go to the bottom ot the hill* on the 1
Speaker’s table.
There was a good deal of excitement when

hill to induce members to change their votes
from yes to no. A few changes were made,
hut not enough to effect the result.

FROM WASHINGTON.
Washington, June 8.
The President in reply to the resolution of
the Senate, says the State Department lues
received no official information concerning
the reported persecutors and massacre of the
Jews in Koumania.
Only one vessel, the Savannah w ill go on
the practice cruise with midshipmen this
summer.
Spotted Tail with his associates leave for
the plains to-morrow. Red Cloud and his
delegation will have a final interview with
the President to-morrow, hut will remain a
week or ten days longer.
The Minnesota delegation express great
apprehension that the course of Canada to
ward Horace Reil, the Red River President,
w ill involve the whole north-western terri
tory in war.
It seems the Maintoha act more than con
cedes Red's demands, with an important
omission of general amnesty. It is under
stood that the Red River delegation to Otta
wa when they broached such a provisions,
were told that no offences had been com
mit!! d against Canada, but that the Queen's
proclamation would give immunity to all the
actors in the insurrection. Clinton Murdock
representing the home government was pre
sent, and joined in this assurranee and its
faith.
The Red River delegates'consented to or
ganize the force of the Province. Most un
qualified representations of the peaceful
character of the expedition were com nuni
eated to tlie American government by Min
ister Thornton.
News from port Gary shows that Reil will
raise 3.000 men, and fight the troops now
struggling in through the wilderness beyond
Lake Superior, unless a full and unqualified
amnesty he proclaimed.
Kvery day’s delay is said to make the situ
ation more critical.
It is alleged that Canada hopes to steal into
the country w ithout being forced to pledge
tlie safety of Reil and his associates; and
that if the matter shall remain in its present
unsatisfactory state much longer, the active
interposition of the government of tlie 1. S.
will become necessary to the security of the
frontiers of Minnesota, Dakotah and Mon
tana.
Senator Ramsay's resolution calling for
such mediation w ill soon be the subject of a
report from the Com. on P’oreign Affairs.

FROM NEW YORK.

The telegram announcing the loss of the
