The effect of the war in Maine.
--An intelligent gentleman from Maine informs us that the war policy of Mr. Lincoln is becoming more and more canvassed in that State, and daily less popular. He says that ship building and the lumber trade are completely flat, and that he is at a loss to know what the people will do. The idea that England may get the carrying trade of the South, and that eastern vessels will be thrown out of employment, stands up like a nightmare before the people. The late development of English policy in that direction, has stimulated this fear, long seen in the distance by many, as a remote possibility, but now thought within the range of probabilities. At all events, great anxiety exists in the minds of the people of Maine, whose livelihood is so intimately associated with ship building and the cotton trade, the former of which always has kept pace pari passu with the development of the other.--N. Y. Day Book.
