Mr. Commissioner Newton.
Wc notice, in a late mtmlter of one of our
agricultural journals, some strictures niton the
recently appointed Commissioner of Agricul
ture, at Washington, lion. Isaac Newton, who
has been placed at the head of the Department
of Agriculture, by tile President, and whose
selection to this important post does not-seem
to be entirely agreeable to certain parties in
terested in this branch of our national econo
my.
We have no personal acquaintance with Mr.
Newton, but, feeling an interest in the geucral
welfare of that large portion of the citizens of
this country whose pursuits are connected
with agricultural vocations, we are quite as
desirous as any of our cotcmporaries can be,
that “tiie rigid man in the right place'' should
be installed at the bead of this new Depart
ment
From a recent editorial in that verv conserv
ative and reliable daily, the "National Intelli
gencer, we learn that “Mr. Newton, the Com
missioner of Agriculture, inis the character of
being a practical farmer of much experience.
During a period involving an ordinary life
time, lie lias attentively and industriously cul
. tivated extensive tracts of land in the States
of Pennsylvania and Virginia (his farm in the
latter State comprising over three thousand
acres) in a manner which has commanded the
admiration of the best agriculturists in the
country; and that the idea and plan of an Ag
ricultural Department, under the auspices of
the General Government, was first submitted,
and pcrseveringly urged by Mr. Newton, sev
eral years before a handful of seed, and a few
stalks of wheat were exhibited on an ordinary
dining table.in tlie north end of the Patent
Office building.”
Mr. Newton Is a prominent niendier of the
Society of Friends, and he is esteemed by all
who know him, as a sound man. possessing
rii»e judgment, and a goodly share of common
sense, which for half a century lie lias exer
cised practically in agricultural science, and
careful experiments, in his every day life on
the farm.
In that long period of service lie lias accom
■qdished much for the good of his fellow-men,
while he has had ample opportunity to store
his mind with that species of useful knoweldge
which, in his present high position, is invalua
ble, and of which in the future, the farmers of
the country will unquestionably reap the ben
efit.
So long hack as in 1844, the Germantown
Telegraph, (most excellent authority )in speak
ing of Mr. Newton's extensive farm in Dela
ware county, I’cun., says that the reputation
of Mr. Newton as a splendid farmer had “so
long become well established, that he has fre
quent applications from gentlemen of fortune
to instruct their sons in the business, so that
for years past he has had several apprentices
of this kind, who serve a regular apprentice
ship of three or four years, and pay two or
three hundred dollars tor the knowledge they
receive. They generally prove to lie industri
ous, active young men, and, having mostly re
ceived a good education, turnout to be accom
plished fanners, and excellent men,—the true
nobility of our country.”
The editor adds that Mr. Newton conducts
this farm in the most skillful manner, and has
made it one of the most productive and profit
able in the States.
Eight years afterward (in 1862) that staunch
daily, the Philadelphia Inquirer, states tliat its
editor has been gratified with an examination
of “the remarkably flue dairy farm of Mr.
Isaac Newton, in Delaware country, an estate
hi better condition, whether we refer to the
meadows and grass lauds, or to the coming
crops of Mediterranean wheat, oats, ami In
dian com, it has never been our good fort uue
to examine.” And, after a lengthy article,
compliments Mr. Newton's flue stock of cattle,
sheep, swine, poultry, Ac., his grain, fruits,
grass, ami biddings, the editor concludes that
“when it is remembered that agriculture is one
of the most worthy pursuits of man. the foun
dation, as it were, of national prosperity—for
the productions of nature are in all cases the
elements of art—it is with a sincere comming
ling of pride and pleasure that we wander
over such a model American farm as that of
Mr. Isaac Newton.”
With all this evidence before us, from com
petent authority, as to Mr. Newton's peculiar
qualifications, as n practical man of large ex
perience iu his profession, we really think lie
must lie a “marvellous proper man" for the
very place to which the President has assigned
him; and while, at least, we think be should
have a lair opportunity to show whether he is
competent for the |m>m he occupies, we agn-e
with the Intelligencer that it “scarcely needs
to be added that one who has been at the head
of such a model farm, cannot be ignorant of
the interests of a Department of Agriculture.
Member ol Congress 1st District.
It is the duty of town clerks in Maine to
make duplicate returns of the voles of their
town, one to the Governor and Council, sealed
up, and a second to the Secretary of Slate.—
The latter is always opened at once, w hile the
former lies uno)>enud until the meeting of the
Governor and Council, which this month takes
place on the 2id inst., Tuesday next. The
return of the votes of Newtield at the office
of the Secretary of State, as w e learn from
Augusta, gives 155 votes for Leonard I). M.
Sweat, in place of Lorenzo 1). M. Sweat.
If the votes in the town of Newlleld were
written or printed Leonard, then Lorenzo I).
M. Sweat would fail of un election; because,
including these 165 votes, he has |>ut log in
the District. We have l>een informed that the
records of the town clerk are for Lorenzo, and
not Leonard; if so, the return to the Secretary
of State's office was probably a clerical error,
and how that made to the Governor and Coun
cil reads, cannot be determined until the
Council meet next week, for it is by that re
turn, mid not that made to the Secretary s
office, that the official vote is made up.
:y To expect perfect fairness from the
Argus, is like looking for blood in a white
turnip. Its intimation that we have styled
the representative elect from Camden, Mr.
Bisbee, an “abolitionist,” ami its sly, covert
suggestion that lie is a democrat, are on a par
with its other intimation that we are a sympa
thizer with Col. Smart. The Col. would tell
Bro. Moore better, and inform him that we ate
out of the pale of his favor—a pale which we
have found more agreeable upon the outside
than upon the inside. Mr. Bisbee; was pro
posed against Smart by leading republicans in
the town, and no democrat voted for him with
any expectation or thought that he was other
titan a republican.

ArorsT.v, Sept. ir>, 1882.
Mlitors Press:—I learn from competent au- j
thorily, that during recent experiments in
England, all kinds of armor plates hitherto
made were shattered by the new Armstrong
gun, except one made from Woodstock iron,
New Brunswick. This iron had previously
attracted but little attention, but on exjiori
ment it only showed a dent when ail others
were shattered, and mines being crown-perqui
site, tlie Woodstock mines were instantly tak
en possession of by the English government,
and a superintendent-miner sent out with new
and improved machinery, which is now being
erected, the old furnaces, meanwhile, being in
full blast. The ore is a compact hematite, a
reddish, native oxide of iron, sometimes famil
iarly called “blood-stone,” and reduced by
charcoal.
There is a great abundance of the same ore
in Aroostook County, and it liehooves our
Government to take advantage of it.
Tlie mines which the English Government
is now working are known as the “Jackson
town” mines, and are only two or three miles
from the line between tlie State and the Prov
ince. it would lie not a little singular, in the
event of hostilities breaking out between this
country and England, for both to be working
iron for iron-plating within a few rods of each
oilier.
Camp Keyes presents a very' lively spectacle.
About lift ecu hundred men have already gone
into camp. The camp w ith its wooden liar
racks looks like quite a village. Among tlie
candidates for colonelcies 1 hear mentioned
Gen. G. M. Atwood of Gardiner, J. M. Carle
ton. Esq. ofWhitefteld, Rev. W. A. P. Dilling
ham of Sidney, Mr. Drummond of Winslow,
and Mr. Osgood of Rockland. “May the best
man win.”
Dr. Lot Myrick, of this city, leaves this
morning for the seat of war to do what lie can
to help tlie sick and wounded of our brave men.
Although somewhat advanced in years, the
patriotic Doctor has volunteered Ins services
without hope of fee or reward. They will Is;
very valuable. He has two sons, all lie lias, in
the Maine Cavalry, and I have more than once
been indebted to Lieut. Myrick, who relin
quished his studies at Harvard Law School to
enter the service of his country, for informa
tion that I have passed to your readers in my
letters. He is a brave officer, and has perform,
ed his duty nobly through all tlia battles in
which his Kcgt. has been engaged. The Capt.
Edw. l’rinee of Bath being absent, and Lieut.
Cary sick, the command of his company de
volved on Lieut. Myrick during the recent
battles.
B. B. Murray Jr. of Pembroke, lias been ap
pointed Lieut. Col. of tlie 15th Kcgt., which
with the deserved appointment of Lieut. Col.
Dyer as Col., and Capt. F. M. Drew as Major,
will, it is believed, redeem tiie 15th Kcgt. Mr.
Henry Boyce of Bangor, bas been appointed
1st Lieut, of Co. 1 in the same llegt.

For the Pres*.
Constitutional nnd Congressional Power.
Mu. Editoh:—We have heard within the
past year, much talk about the employment of
all Constitutional means to suppress this in
fernal rebellion. This lias been the w atchword
with almost every candidate for office, siuce
tlic commencement of the war, and is the chief
capital of some who might reasonably lie ^sus
pected of secession proclivities. We And that
Wicklitfe, Vallandigham and some others are
very fearful lest some letter of the Constitution
should be overlooked in this effort to save the
government from destruction. If we watch
these gentlemen and their disciples a little,and
see what strange vagaries they fall into, we
shall not be long in coming to the conclusion
that any effort on the part ofthe general gov
ernment to crush tiiis rebellion,is in their view
uu -(institutional.
The point to which. I would call your atten
tion is this: Does the Constitution extend to
the suppression of a rebellion against thaigvv
ermnent? 1
We And that all the quarrels about slavery
in tile territories, grew out of the effort of pol
iticians to make the people believe that the
Constitution extended over them, and that the
inhibition of slavery, therein deprived the
slaveholder of a constitutional right. But it
lias ls-eii conclusively shown that the sover
eignty of the territories was vested in Con
gress.
Taking this simple fact into consideration,
and still further the uil-im]iortant fact, that
without a government, the Constitution is a
dead lettera, my we not reasonably presume
that in the Congress of the United States, rep
resenting the sovereign will of the nation, all
powers for the suppression of this wicked re
bellion are vested ? Will you give us some re
marks on this subject ?
Yours, C.
Magnificent Landscape View.
People go to Italy to witness an Italian sun
set and to gaze upon tlie Italian skies. Those
who do so, do not, perhaps, understand that
the skies of our New England exeel those of
Italy in resplendent beauty and clearness, or
that those poets and others who have written
and snug of Italian sunsets, were residents of
the British Isle, where the frogsjuid mists,and
humidity and murkiness of the atmosphere
give to tin* skies a leaden appearance, destroy
all twilight beauties, and render the sun at
midday as destitute of brilliancy .as a boiled
turnip. When John Bull leaves his befogged
island-home, particularly if that home lie in the
region of London, for it trip to Southern Eu
rope, he is naturally enraptured with the beau
ties of sky, suit, atmosphere and clouds which
everywhere meet his eve, and he falls into the
mistake that all these glories result from loeal
causes, when the fact is, the loeal peculiarities
are found in the region he has left behind,
which obscure the loveliness of the landscape,
and all that contributes to add beauty to a
laiidscaiic view.
It is not so with the traveller from New Eng
land. He finds no such ravishing fields for his
eyes to rove in. The sky is clear, but not so
beautifully blue as tliatwhich pervades his own
New England home.
The purity ol our atmosphere, its freedom
from smoke and humidity, give to the sky and
to our sunsets, a splendor sought for in vain
in most foreign climes, and the American—
esjieeially the New Englander—who talks of
Italian sunsets and Italian skies, as though
they greatly exceed his own in beauty, only
betrays his ignorance, and proves that he Inis
neither visited the land of the Caesars, nor
properly informed himself by reading the ob
servations of others.
The scenery about our own own city is
scarcely to lie excelled by that of any portion
of the country. If any one doubts—any one
win has an eye to the beautiful—let him take
a stroll at sunrise over the Eastern Promenade,
and drink in the beauties combined of sea and
island, laud and water, green and russet which
he w ill find spread out before him; or let him
go at sunset or at the witching hour of twi
light, to the Western Promenade, and allow
his eye to wander over the expanse of beauty
which stretches away in the dim distance,
where tree and cloud, green aud gold minglc
into one. We doubt if a more ravishing sight
can be found in a month's journey. Let those
who would appreciate home beauty go there,
as the smi dips behind tile distant horizon,and
gilds the summits of the distant ridges with
the rays of Its fading glory. Standing on the
overlooking brow of the hill, and allowing the
eye to traverse the distance from the water in
the foreground, over clearing, meadow and
grove as far as tile vision can extend, w ith the
fleecy clouds so delicately tinted, piled up
against the deep blue sky. a scene is witnessed
excelling in beauty the most matchless efforts
of pen or pencil.

acts of Congress, has issued a circular to Col
