Bakgor, Jan. 3,1603.
The stranger or occasional visitor cannot lie
long in Bangor without being convinced of
its enterprise and material prosperity, its out
essentially from Portland in its business and
general aspects. Here, the frost lias placed an
effectual embargo upon all trade from a dis
tance, except by stages and railroad. But
with this drawback, the city presents even a
more animated appearance than the “natural
seaport.” The amount of staging is enormous.
No less than lifteen daily lines are running in
different directions, so that on the arrival of
the trains from the west, the traveler finds a
conveyance ready to take him to Machias,
Eastport, Calais, Houlton, \V oodstock, Presque
Isle, Fort Kent, Moosehead Lake, Bucksport,
Belfast, Ac., Ac. One is reminded of Utica,
N. Y., before the Centra] R. R. passed forty
trains a day over its track, when nearly slxtv
stage lines ran from that city. Bangor will
see a change also wiien the Aroostook R. R. is
built, and the Inter-colonial line is extended
from St. John. The efforts making to secure
these lines will no doubt in due lime he suc
cessful.
The sleighing here is expedient, while in
Portland you are on bare grouud. The drive
on the Hampden road is one of the Quest, and
enjoyed hugely by the Bangoreaus. Even the
ladies are seeu mingling in the throng of turn
outs, and guide tbeir spirited coursers safely
and swiftly over the track. The sight Is beau
tiful as seen from the adjacent streets, es
pecially from the steps of the Bangor House,
reminding me of Saturday in the Central
Yesterday the bells of (he city |>ealed forth
their anthem in houor of the proclamation.
We thought of the old bell now' iu indepen
dence Hall, Philadelphia, which was rung on
the morning of July 4th, 177d, proclaiming
"liberty throughout all the laud, to all the in
habitants thereof," as appears by the inscrip
tion on its surface. The people here believe
in the right, constitutionally, and efficacy of
the proclamation. The enslaved rejoice, and
rebels tremble. We hear of but an isolated
few here who think it impolitic. We would
not judge harshly, hut it seems that some men
are less anxious to see the murderous, tritor
ous hands of rebels paralyzed, than the resus
citation and domination of a party by whose
sympathies and co-operation those same rebels
hoped to secure their nefarious ends. But,
though passing through a tlery trial ns a na
tion, we still live, and the patriotism of the
people will be triumphant, in spite of the
croakiugs of men who ere long w ill labor as
hard to secure a place for their names on’the
roll of patriots, as they now seem to strive to
embarrass the government, and eucourage
traitors.
The snow-shoes on sale at the shops, the
carcases of moose nnd deiy in the stalls, and
the presence of sturdy lumbermen from the
backwoods of Aroostook, remind us of the
proximity of the vast forests around us. Lum
bering is profitable this winter. Shipbuilding
was never better. A gentleman from Wash
ington county tells me that New York pur
chasers are on the ground, taking np new ves
sels at the rate of $70 a ton.
Diphtheria prevails sadly in many towns
down east. The gentleman says, in Jonesport
four children In one family died of this disease
and were buried in one grave, The father
was telegraphed to come home, soon fell a
victim to the s&iue malady,) and now sleeps
with his children. Similar reports are heard
from various towns.
A pleasing affair came off last evening at the
house of Mr. Pitman, the well known popular
conductor on tire Maine Central Hailroad. li
wu the sixth anniversary of bis marriage
. and he was perfectly surprised on his return
from the day’s trip, to find Ills house besieger
by over a hundred of his friends, loaded down
with all sorts of wooden ware and other hand
some presents, from a child's rattle, to a splen
did gilt mirror for his parlor mantel,—enougl:
we should judge to last an ordinary family for
years, and to make the wooden wedding a
matter of lifelong memory.
Our worthy Land Agent is getting ready
to move Ills office to Augusta, as usual during
the session of the Legislature. Mr. Norris
and his accomplished Deputy, Mr. Clark, art
at home among the documents and records o
the Land Office. Usage sanctions a change
this year, and we learn that Mr Hammett o
Howland, is prominent as the probable sueees
nor ol Mr. Norris, should there be a change
The desire exists that there should not be
but either of the gentlemen named is abun
dantly competent to discharge the duties o,
the office.
Bangor ftirnishes three paymasters for thf
army, Messrs. Trite, Fenno and Merrill. It
such hands the Government funds will la- safi

Thb Indian Execution in Minnesota
—The execution of thirty-eight Indians, con
demned for participating in the recent massa
ere of whites in Minnesota, toolj place a
Mankato, on the 20th of December, as al
ready announced. The gallows was a struct
ture twenty-four feet square and fifteen fee
high, so arranged us to afford room for hang
ing ten at once. The most .of^hc prisoner?
were young men, but several were quite old
and gray-beaded. The scenes at tlie prison
and at the gallows on the day of execution
are thus described in the St. Paul Press:
The doomed ones wished it to l>e known
among their friends, and particularly their
wives and children, how cheerful and happy
they had all died, exhibiting no fear of this
dread event. To us it appeared not as an evi
dence of Christian faith, but a steadfast adhe
rence to their heathen superstitions.
They shook hands with the officers who
came iu among them, bidding them good bye,
| as if they were going on a long and pleasant
journey. They had added some fresh streaks
or Vermillion and ultramarine to their coun
tenances. as their fancy suggested, evidently
intending to tlx themselves off as gay as
possible for the coming exhibition. They
commenced singing their death-song, Ta-zoo
leading, and nearly all joining. We had nev
er heard this song, and could not now tell it
from a war song, but it was wonderfully ex
citing.
Their irons were knocked off, and one by
one were tied by cords, their elbows being
pinioned behind and their wrists in front but
about six inches apart. This opperatiou occu
pied till about nine o’clock. Iu the mean
time the scene was much enlivened by their
sougs and conversation, keeping up the most
cheerful appearance. As they were beiug
pinioned, they went round the room shaking
hands with the soldiers and reporters, bidding
them “good bye,’’ Ac. After all were proper
ly fastened, they stood up iu a row around
tlie room, and another exciting death song
was sung. They tlieu sat down very quietly,
and commenced smoking again. Father Kav
oux came iu and alter addressing them a lew
moments, knelt iu prayer, reading from a
prayer book iu the Dakota language, which a
portion of the condemned repeated after him.
During the ceremony, nearly all paid the most
strict attention, ami several were affected to
tears. He then adresseththem again.
The caps were then put on their heads.
These were made of White muslin taken from
the Indians when their camps were captured,
and which formed part of the spoils they
had taken from the murdered traders. They
received these evidences of their near ap
proach to death with evident dislike. When
it had been adjusted on one or two, they look
ed around on the others who had not received
it with an appearance of shame. Chains and
cords had not moved them—their wear was
not considered dishonorable—but the covering
of the head with a white cap was humiliating.
There was no more singing, and but little con
versation nndsmokiug now. All sat around
the room: the most of them in a crouched po
sition, awaiting their doom, in silence, or lis
tening to the remarks of Father Rtvoux, who
still addressed them. Once in a while they
brought their small looking-glasses before
their faces, to see that their countenances yet
iirisorvi'il tin* nrnm»r moiliriiin of iistint* Tim
three half-breeds were the most of all affected,
and their dejection of countenance wiis truly
pitiful to behold.
At precisely 10 o'clock the condemed were
marshaled in a procession, and beaded by Capt.
Red Held, marched out into the street, and direct
ly across through tiles of soldiers to the scaffold,
which had been erected in front. They went
eagerly and cheerfully, even crowding and jost
ling each other to Ik' ahead, just like a lot of
hungry boarders rushing to dinner in a hotel.
Tile soldiers who were on guard in their quar
ters stacked arms and followed them, and they
in turn were followed by the clergy, reporters,
&c.
As they commenced the ascent of the scaffold,
the deuth song was again started, and when
they had all got up, the noise they made was
truly hideous. It hud a wonderful effect In
keeping up their courage. One young fellow
who had been given a cigar by one of lbs re
porters, just before tnarchiug from their quar
ters, was smoking it on the stand, puffing
away very coolly during the intervals of the
hideous 'Hi-yi-yi,' ‘Hi-yi-yi,’ and even altar the
cap was drawn over hfs face, he managed to
get it up over his mouth and smoke. Another
was smoking his pipe. The noose having been
promptly adjusted over the necks of each, liy
Capt. Libby, all was ready for the fatal signal.
The scene at this juncture was one of awful
interest. A painful and breathless suspense
held the vast crowd, which had assembled
from all quarters to witness the execution.
Three slow, measured, and distinct beats on
tlie drum by Major Brown, wbo had been an
nounced as signal officer, aud the rope was cut
by Mr. Duly—the scaffold fell, and thirty-sev
en lifeless bodies were left dangling between
heaven and earth. One of the ropes was brok
en, and the body of Rattling Runner fell to
the ground. The neck had probably been
broken, as but little signs of life were observed,
but be was immediately hung up again.
As the platform fell, there was one, not loud,
but prolonged cheer from the soldiery and
citizens who were spectators, and then all were
quiet and earnest witnesses of the scene. For
