The democrat* of N*W Hampshife, or a
[vortion of them, have been trying to unite
the opposing factions and newspapers at
Concord, and so.upset the republicans ol
that State.
General Pillow and another rebel having
been adjudged to pay for property seized
for military rtse in the rebellion, to the
amount of §35,000. have called upon the
fieneraTassembly ofTenhessee for veupf
Such an application would only be made
to a democratic Legislature, and is only
one of many similar ones that will be mudt
when the democracy gain power.
The impeachment trial of Governor
Holden, of North l 'arolina. lin« been post

and been a considerable part of what he nar
rates, and who has performed his laborious
task with admirable polity and ability worthy
of all praise, producing a work that records
and portrays faithfully and graphically the
past, and wiH stand for generations to ...
as the best monument of tin* people of the
white race Wbu have made their home here
upon the Kennebec. The tact ti.ai Augusta
is the capital of the State gives a great deal
more character and importance to the work
than it would otherwise have had. the
prominent acts of the legislature, the leading
Wen of the State, the operation* of the State
government, all contribute to enrich the lo
cal history of the city, which thus become.' in
some measure tire history of the State. The
history of no other city in the State can be to
rich in records of tbe men and policies that
have governed our State as this, and l'nrtunati
it is that while Mr. North had the research
needful to gather the general facts ho has pre
sented, aud the skill to render his pages in
teresting, he was also prepared from hi* ac
tive association witli the men and measures
that have swayed the State to speak with
more than common intelligence concerning
them.
The history opens with some account of
I>u Mont'* expedition in Mol, which took
possession of the rountry contiguous to the
Kennebec in the name Of the King of France.
Three years afterw ards I'opham's colony was
planted at the mouth of the river, hut it was
not until 16JJ tiiat the river w as explored,
and then by a party from the colony of New
Plymouth. The Plymouth colony was char'
tered in Ml-0 by James the First, and the
Kennebec was included in the grant. Cush
noc, the Indian name of what is now Au
gusta, was formerly s point where the (Jam
ba* Indians gathered in large numbers for
fishing and hunting, and was often visited bv
the whites far purposes of tratlie. The Ken
nebec Patent was purchased of the Plymouth
company in Mfil, but no effort was made to
-ettle the lands until 171'.*. That year vig
orous measures were taken for the formation
of settlements. In 17.14 Fort Western was
built within the present limits of Augusta,
upon the eastern hank of the river, ami was
the first step towards a settlement here. At
the end of two years there were aiiout two hun
dred persons belonging toil. Iri 1771 the
towns of Hallowed, Vassalborough, Winslow
and Winthrop were incorporated. Hallowed
then embraced the present cities of Augusta
and Hallowed, the town ot Chelsea, and a
large part of the towns of Farmingdalo and
-Manchester. Fort Western was erected and
sustained as a means »t defence against tlx
French and Indians, who made the Kennebec
a thoroughfare la-tween Quebec and this pail
of tile country iu their contest with the Eng
lish for supremacy.
James Howard, tho military commander ol
Fort Western, may be considered the first set
tier at Cushnor, where he ruled almost su
preme thirty-three years and died at the agt
of eighty-five. The first marriage at fushnoi
was that of Margaret Howard and ( 'apt. .lame
Patterson. The first settler at the ‘-Hook,’
wlsat ia BOW Hallowed, was Deacon Peas
(^rk. He v.a« accompanied by his wile, soi
ami sou's Wife hu<1 one chili. They wen
obliged to sleep the first night under the bod;
ol’ a cart turned bottom upwards, w hich the;
brought wifh them. On the next day the;
made a camp of boughs for shelter, near w lien
the cotton factory now stands. This was it
1761P The life of the settlers wat one of ditti
euJty and hardship. They had to guard again)
the hostility *f Pie IipHass, had uo roads, in
mills for some tune, and depended upon th<
scanty products of the soil and fishing an<
hunting fora living, while their dresses wer.
mostly of home-made tow cloth and the skin

of wild animals. In the troubles attending
the Revolution the settlers were generally de
voted patriots, andtheirindignationwus strong
against those who upheld the English govern
ment in its oppressive measures. In 1775
they saw the expedition of Arnold to Quebec
pass up the river, of the Courae and result of
which Mr. North gives a very foil and inter
esting account. In tin? Revolution -
tributed their share to the common defence.
At a town meeting in 1780 it rra voted to
give to each private soldier who might enlist
two and a half thousand feet of pine board
per month, hut rite town was to hare the State
or Continental bounty and wages. Taxes in
creased, the currency became nearly worth
less, there were no mails to bring tlie news ot
the struggle lor liberty, hut the patriotism ot
the people rose superior to all difficulties
Rev. Jacob Hailey made himself prominent as
a “tory" preacher, but his views foun I few
supporters ami he remained in the country only
at the peril of his life, 'flic first meeting ot
record at which the* town voted for Governor
was in 178d. and John Hancock had twenty
three votes for that office, none being thrown
in opposition. Immediately after the close of
the war a tow n meeting was held which voted
£90 towards the hailding of a meeting house
for public worship. Among the panics of in
dividuals prominent in those early days are
some now frequent in our community. The
biographical sketches furnished of them an
full of interest. In 1790 a court house was
| erected, anJ the January term of the nt xt
year was hold in it. The town wasnow thriv
ing. There was a post office at each village,
the Fort and Hook, ai d in 179.1 an afademy
was built a/ul opened for pupils and a news
paper was published. An incident of 1 TIM
was the arrival at Hallow el! of Talleyrand.
He had been obliged to flee from France dur
ing the French Revolution, and took passage
tn a vessel which landed him at Wi-ea-set.
He came to H Howell with a letter to Cel.
North, lie hod a companion with him w ho i
supposed to hntu been tie- young J)ukc> u!
Orleans. Ixtuis PI illlpnfterwulus king ot
France.
In 1797 She towu uf Hallow ell was divided.
Tin* portion let oil sens incorporated into a
town l.y tlu name of Harrington, which was
soon afterwards changed to Augusta. This
year the Kennebec bridge was built; its com
pletion was considered tin most important
work which occurred in the town since its
settlement, and was “duly observed by a
dinner in Dr. Cony’s store chamber,’ a:
which the proprietors, workmen and citizens
sat down.” This was the only bridge at the
time across the Kennebec, and tie grandest
one in the State. In 1798 Kennebec county
was established and the next year Kennebec
Agricultural Society, in 1802 a court house
was finished and a hell placed upon it, tin
firsl^known in these parts. We find that
branding and whipping were some of the pun
ishments indicted in »lm-e days Dr offences
against the law. and in some eases offenders'
might he “sold to service." Passing along
wc find a memorial to President Jefferson by
the citizens of Augusta against the Embargo,
and Jefferson's reply. The town evidently
w as lx ginning to think itself of some import
ance. It was not only active in politics, but
in the causes of religion and education, which
it promoted liberally. The war of Dig was
severely felt bv the inhabitants, hncli were
the restrictions on goods that smuggling grew.
In 1814 there was but one store in town, and
in this “rum, tobacco and cigars" were sold,
but “no goods.” in Dlt; an effort was made
to effect the separation of .Maine from Massa
chusetts but failed ; it was renewed in 1819
with success, and in 1820 Maine was admitted
as a State. Commissioners appointed upon
the location of the capital of the new State
reported in favor of Augusta, but it was not
until 1827 that a hill passed the Legislature to
that effect, and by its provisions did not go
into operation until 1832. The history of the
contest over this measure is one of which
Augusta has some reason to be proud, for the
influences against it were strong, not the least
of which were not far to seek. Then came
the building of the Arsenal by the United
States government, and before this was com
pleted the erection of the State House was
commenced, the corner stone of the latter be
ing laid July 4th 1829.
Hi' have tnu- briery anil hastily notion
some of tiie records in Mr. North's History,
running down to the time last mentioned
above, and have examined little more than
halfof its pages. Events since 1*110are fresher
in the memory than those of the preceding
period from the lirst settlement, and the firstwc
shall pass witli arccoiumendution that they ho
carefully studied, and an endorsement of the
ability with which the work is done. We
have given no idea in this article of tile many
rich anccdoti », talcs of pioneer life, adven
tures with Indians, luirdsljips, with which
these page-, abound, and make it humorous
and interesting. Tin e ha ve been culled and
thrown in with good judgment, and relieve
the detail of dry facts, w hich however in
structive have no eluirm for many r> aders.
The volume will be a treasure to our citizens,
I and an honor to its author, not only in this
j community, hut wherever it is scanned by
j eyes that can understand and appreciate the
i amount and quality of the ).ib,,r required lor
I its pri pa ration.

important step 1h. for the patient to avoid taking cold:
r.nu the best of all places on this continent for this pur
pose*, in winter, Is Florida, well down in tlic State, where
the* temperature Is regular, and not subject to such vnr:.n
to>m as In move northern latitudes, Palatku la a point
I cun recommend. A good hotel Is kept there by Peter
man. Last winter 1 saw several persons then* who***
lungs had been badly diseased, but who, under tlic heal
ing influence of the climate and my medicines, wore get
ting w l 11.
One hundred miles farther down the river Is a point
which I would prefer to l'alatka, as the temperature is
more even and the air dry and bracing MellonviHc and
Kntcrpriso are located there. 1 should give a decid'd
i nference to Mellonvillc: It Is two miles from river or
Jake, and It seems almost Impossible to take cold there.
The tables In Florida might l»e better, and patients com
plain at times; but that is a good sign, a* it indicates a
r- i uni of appetite : and. when this is the case, they gett
er'illy Inert a so in flesh, and then the lung* most lical.

i places In various parts of Florida can be safely rccom
mended to consumptives In w inter. 31 y reasons fur say
ing feo are. that patient* are less liable to take cold there
t in where there 1* a less even temperature: and It Is
not n'ce>«ary to say, that, w here a consumptive person
exposes himself to frequent colds, he I* certain to die

s uthc in point 1*earnestly recommended.
F t fifteen years prior to 1%U, 1 was professionally In
New York. Boston, Baltimore, and 1 hdadelphia every

Mv advice to persons whose lungs are affected, even

Now, iliero are many consumptives who have not tho
