Cradock's agents. For the convenience they were to the public the town may have kept some private pumps and wells in repair, for July 13, 1868, the committee on Pump near Washburn's Store reported the same could be repaired at small expense. Washburn's store was on the northwest corner of Salem and Park streets. It was voted the repairs be made and a cup and chain be procured also, a Bill of sale of same for Town, and it was also voted the care of the pump be in charge of Mr. Washburn. TMr. Washburn. Thus has the old given place to the new order of things, and the memories of the simple past mingle pleasantly with the use of our up-to-date luxuries and conveniences. From plans and descriptions furnished by Francis A. Wait, Fred H. C. Woolley has drawn a picture of the double pump of sixty years ago, which the former has presented to the Medford Historical Society, and so another part of the history of the past is preserved for future generations.

eld piece. The Zouaves hearing the firing, had returned, and fired also upon the Albany boys. At daybreak Col. Allen's and Col. Carr's regiments moved from the rear of the Fortress to support the main body. The mistake at Little Bethel having been ascertained, the buildings were burned, and a Major, with two prominent Secessionists, named Livey and Whiting, made prisoners. The troops then advanced upon Great Bethel in the following order, viz: The Zouaves, Col. Benedix, Lt. Col. Washburn, Col. Allen and Col. Carr. At that point the troops found and successively endeavored to take a large masked Confederate battery. The effort was futile, their three small pieces of artillery not being able to cope with the heavy rilled cannon of the enemy, according to some accounts numbering thirty. The Confederate battery was so completely masked that no men could be seen, only the flashes of the guns. There was probably not less than one thousand men behind their sand batter

a battalion, composed of such companies of the regiments under his command as he thought best, under command of Lieut. Colonel Washburn, in time to make a demonstration upon Little Bethel in front, and to have him supported by Colonel Bendix's regiand the march was so timed that Colonel Duryea had got in the position noted upon the accompanying sketch, and Lieutenant Colonel Washburn, in command of the regiment from Newport News, had got into the position indicated upon the sketch, and Col. Bnd's regiment were killed, and eight more or less wounded. Hearing this cannonading and firing in his rear, Lieutenant Col. Washburn, not knowing but that his communication might be cut off, immediately reversed his march, as did Col. Duryea, anonly add now that we have to regret especially the death of Lieut. Greble, of the Second Artillery, who went out with Col. Washburn, from Newport News, and who very efficiently and gallantly fought his piece until he was struck by a cannon shot. I

men passed down the avenue after the adjournment arm in arm, discussing the exciting question of the day with calmness and moderation. A Washington letter to the Baltimore Exchange says: The tedious operation of selecting seats was gone through with, and it was noticeable that the Americans generally took seats upon the Republican side of the House. Mr. Winter Davis is upon that side, and Mr. Etheridge, of Tennessee, located himself with Mr. Burlingame, of Massachusetts. Mr. Washburn, of Maine, having been elected Governor of Maine, his position upon the Committee of Ways and Means will have to be filled by another. When the name of Mr. Bocock, of Virginia, was called to-day, for the purpose of selecting his seat, Mr. Houston, of Alabama, arose and said that in Mr. Bocock's absence he would make the selection, and would choose the seat occupied by Mr. Bocock during the last session. Mr. T. B. Florence, of Pennsylvania, at the time was sitting in the place, and a

Union movement in Boston. Boston.Dec. 18. --A strong address to the people of the State has been published, denouncing the unconstitutionality of the Personal Liberty Bill, and recommending its repeal. The address is signed by one hundred and thirty-five gentlemen, including ex-Chief Justice Shaw; R. A. Curtis, late Judge of the Supreme Court; ex-Governors Lincoln, Clifford, Washburn, Gardner, and other eminent citizens, representing nearly every county in the State.

read a letter from a distinguished member of the old Whig party, of Bascowan, N. H., breathing strong Constitutional sentiments, which Mr. Tappan said reflected the views of the people of his State. Beyond this he could and would not go. Mr. Washburn opposed so much of the proposition of Mr. Davis as provides for the taking of a fugitive from the State where he is captured to the judicial district of the State from which he escaped, before he has a hearing upon the charge of being a slave.e expense of which trial shall be paid by the United States. This amendment was carried, and Mr. Davis' resolution, as amended, was adopted, nearly every member of the Committee present voting for it, except Messrs.

consent and acquiescence of the Administration, and by the authority of General Scott, and that this consent was given after the object of his mission had been disclosed. Mr. Thaddeus Stevens, of Pennsylvania, said that upon this statement of the friends of Mr. May, he desired the investigation to be based. He wanted to know whether in this war the Administration would hazard any negotiation or any truce, except to bury the dead, until every rebel shall have laid down his arms. Mr. Washburn repeated his denial that Mr. May had either the authority or the consent of the Administration to visit Richmond. Mr. Calvert, of Maryland, said that Mr. May did go to Richmond under the authority of the Government. Mr. Lincoln had himself told him that Mr. May asked for a passport declaring it was his purpose to visit Virginia simply as a private citizen, and in that understanding Mr. Lincoln not only gave his consent, but induced Gen. Scott to furnish a special passport. Mr.

ws writes as follows, under date of April 24th: I have spent a good many hours in looking around this city and chatting with men from all parts of the State, and I am satisfied that there are as many Secessionists here as ever Nine-tenths of the Americans in this city are Secessionists, and nothing but the sight of brass buttons and red tape keeps them down. Our pickets at Benton barracks are fire last nearly every night. One of Col. Barstow's men was shot in the leg, find one of Colonel Washburn's through the hand, a few nights since. It is amusing to us here who have seen its conversed with hundreds who were in the battle of Pittsburg, to read the different accounts of our loss in that engagement. I can see no good reason for denying the fact that our men taught like so many tigers, but loss was immense. The number of the Federal troops killed and wounded is full 15, besides 5,000 or 6,000 taken prisoners. In a week or two you will hear of the second battle, which

iversal listening and peeping had driven it deep into the innermost fibres of our society. So pressed, it produces Smelling Committees — it elects Hiss Legislatures; it brings such men as Deacon Palmer to associate, out of fear, with men like Mr. Washburn, whom they receive into their cellars and dismiss through their back doors. Nobody will deny the fact or its application here who is not prepared to deny the existence of the Rev. Mr. Kalloch, or his church member, Mr. Hayes, who peeped after him, and black mailed him, and then exposed him. It is Mr. Hayes's turn to day; it may be Mr. Kalloch's turn to-morrow. It is Mr. Washburn's now; it may be the Gordon' turn by and by. But be the turn whose it may, the system of a barbarous age and people applied to the control of civilized mankind awakens the fiercest resentment. Men have put up with the savagest task-masters. They have endured the bloodiest tyrants without resistance for many years. They have submitted to the Kings of Prus
