Fourteen years ago (in 1853), a gentleman and his son, of the name of Marbie, began their excavations of Dungeon Rock, a small rocky eminence near the sea- coast and within the precincts of the famous town of sboemakers and shoemenders—knighis of the wax and peg—and all by Benjamin's direction and om the oath and affidavit of his ghost that Mr. tom Veille, of woom nobody in the world ever heard, even fn the old iilnse traied piratical books, did, three hundred years ago or thereabouts, reside In a cave within that rock, the mouth of which bas since beon closed by an earthquake, anddid there bury Mrs, Tom Vetile, his dovoted wife and fellowhelper in the genteel business of throttling and throatoutting, together wich ovrtain treasures in gold coin to the amount of $2,000,000. which Mr. and Mra, Veille bad amassed in the prosecution of their nubie profession, Here, so runs the invention, Mr. and airs, Veille had the:r habitation, Mra.

Such, at least, is the ghostly Benjarain’s account of the affair; and as there oxists no record of the ga!lant Tom having ever been hanged, 1t may be taken for granted that the ghost is correct ‘in bis version of the biography.

By a roexatidy, wuich convenienily —bappeued soon after, the mouth of the cave was closed; and by the removal or digging tuiougn of this rock slide, it was sucgested by tho ghost of Ur F., that ibe treasure might be exhumed intact, with, periiaps, some httle rust- ing of the iron boxes Sued 8 the Locior’s version of tho affair, as revealed in the course of a triendly aad racer eoutideutial cou- versation with Miss Caswell, sworn to by the late Ca. tain Boggs, and interpreted by Miss Caswell, tho temaio confida.ve of the dead captain aad the equally dead Doce tor, 10 the cupidity-infecied circle of ber admirers im and nbout Boston.

Greater yet was the sensation when it was stated that gold and jewels to the amount of $5,000,000 were buried in a ‘certain cave just by the river, aud the eyos of the yeo- manry around protruded like saucers whon they were told that the veracity of the great Benjamin Franktin, whose facility tor almanac making some of these peopte had had occasion to romem- Der, was staked yond the trath of tne story.

The: considerations wore, of course, sufficient to work up th Yankee credulity—for the most ineredulous people are generally the most credulous—to the very sublimity of faith ia the deauoy-of Mr. Putnam aad bis associates. Besides, $5,000,000 in gold and diamonds was a tempta- tion to believe, and nv Yankee was ever known to re- sist the temptation of @ yellow bait.

(Froin the Evening Telegram, Feb. 25.) Conconn, Feb, 25, 1868, Ex-Presidont Pierce, who is manifoating ® dwop interost in the progress of political affairs at Washing ton, expresses it as bis opinion that the democratic party in Now Hampshire is greatly strengthened by the turn matters bave taken there lately. Upon reading the Prosident’s message this forenoon he stated that bis reasons are forcibly and concisively expressed, and that they aro founded on constitutional grounds aud sup- ported by the laws which the President quotes 10 sustain his position, He agrees with Mr Johnson that ho is justified upon the constitutional question of bis haying power to remove officers appointed by his pye- decessor, and thinks the fact that his entire Cabinet have once designated the Fenure of Oillce law uncon- stitational will operato greatly in éavor of Mr. Jobason upon his trial, Concerning the political aspect, ho says, from letters which he 181m receipt of from ditlerens parts of tho State, 3 well as from conclusions derived from the canvassing records of the democratic cymmittec, he is justified 1p saying that the prospects are more glorious and promising than during avy other period of the present campaizn. Tho arrival of the newspapers hero containing the details of the pending political crisis at tho pational capital has bad the eifect to cause Stata politics tv be momentarily overlooked, Speculations conceraing tho termination of the differences betwoen the President and the refractory Stanton are numerous, and the result will undoubtedly bave no little influence upon the election bere ip March; but thus far there have been no open claims of strength in consequence of the imbroglio made by the epeakers at the public meotings of either party. In private conversation, however, the politicians of both sidos claim that the denouement will bein their favor, The radicals are in high glee over the passage of the impeachment resolution in the House, and assert that nothing remains gow but for the Senate to do its duty by speedily trying, couvicting and ousting the Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy and installing Ben Wade in bis placo, If this is done before the election they claim that, inasinuch aa the whole government will be in radical hands, the pros- pect of a cleaning out of Johnson officeholders in the State will beso certain that many who are now in the tmterest of Sinclair will attempt to save their official heads by coming out openly in favor of Harriman. On the other band, the conservatives claim that Prosident Jobnson has not committed an impeachadle offence, and that wotwithstanding the verdict of the House to the contrary he will, when tho matter comes betore the proper tribunal, make a successful defence and such a one as will strengthon the democratic party im all aections of the country, and weaken or destroy altogether the power of the radical Congress. They furthor allege that if the trial is pushed to any early termination, that the triumph of the President will place beyond the least doubt the success of the democrats in their preseat contest im (bis State, ‘The discussion between the radicais and the conservas tives upoa the progress of affaira at tho capital are numerous and animated, and many of the latter deciare that if tuis is @ confit of arms they will rust at once to the support of the President, whom they beieve to be the only Commander-in-Chief of the army, The people are anxious fur the latest intelligence, and largo crowds gather at the railway stations all over the Stave wo it the arrival of the newspapers from the cities, The Democratic National Convention.
