Iloaoi.cn.-, Sandwich Islands, July 22d, 1870. To the Editor oj the Journal: These Islands, a short time ago, seemed to a dweller in America one of the. most remote and inaccessible of all places on the earth. It is but a very few years since it took six months or more to come from Boston to Honolulu; now the journey may be made in sixteen days of actual travelling time. A line steamship running once a month each way between San Francisco and this port, together with a line of commodious packets, and many transient ships, join this mid-ocean kingdom to the great living world. The voyage from the coast at this season of the year affords a plea sant taste of life at sea, but however kindly the Pacific may justify its name and however pleasing the company with which one may be associated, there is a weariness of the con finement and unvarying scene that makes the first view of land.a most welcome sight. The aspect which first greets the eye is far from confirming the expectations of tropical ver dure. Headlands of volcanic rock, destitute of shrub or tree, jut out into the sea, but when having passed Diamond Head, the city comes into view, a charming picture is presented. The city appears embowered in trees, while just behind are the cloud-capped mountains, with beautiful valleys opening up into them, cloth ed with rich verdure. It is only a short time since Here was a nuacu plain, occupieu wiui a collection of straw houses, with narrow foot paths running between. Now there is a city of substantial and elegant buildings, well con structed roads, and under the magic influence of water brought down from the mountain*, the desert has been converted into a garden. The public buildings are not of much preten sion, but a large number of most charming private residences are to be found. The city embraces a population of ten or twelve thou sand, of which number the foreign element may make one-sixth. There is a comming ling of all nationalities, Chinese, French, English and American, with smaller repre sentations from almost every land. The American element predominate*, and is in creasing most rapidly. The Chinese have come generally as Coolies, and having obtain ed by a term of service a little capital, have engaged in petty trades. They are a quiet, industrious and provident people. The na tives of these islands exhibit all shades of color, from a light olive to an Ethiopian black, witli hair black and straight, and fea tures generally dull and heavy. There are some fine looking specimens of manhood, and among the females, especially those of mixed blood, are some that exhibit a high degree of beauty. They are an indolent people, will ing to labor only as necessity compels them, and content to live in the rudest manner. A grass house for a shelter, a mat to lie upon, and poi (a preparation from the root of the taro plant) to eat, make up all that the com mon Hawaiian desires of physical comfort. The race is rapidly declining. When discov ered by Captain Cook, less than a century ngo, the islands were estimated to have a population of four hundre 1 thousand. Now the number is reduced to less than sixty thou sand. Tire men dress like Americans, except that their attire Is often more Scant/, frequently consisting of only a single garment when they are at work. The most common dress of the women is a loose robe flowing free from the neck to the feet, often of black material, but more frequently oi some bright color—blue, yellow, green or scarlet. It is a very becom ing costume, much better adapted to their am ple forms than a close-fltting dress. Both sexes are fond of ornaments, and wear wreaths of bright blossoms around the neck and the head. You may often see a ragged hoy, profusely decked with flowers, or green leaves, if nothing better can be had. Every native seems to owu a horse, a fact not im plying a large accumulation of money, since these useful quadrupeds may be bought for five or ten dollars. A creature of the equine shape is sold for even fifty cents. Everything to bo transported is in some manner put on a horse’s back, for few have either vehicles or harness. Their chief use is to convey their owners, who delight to gallop as furiously as their snlutarv fear of the law will allow. The females all ride mac-fashion, and often have wrapped about them bright-colored cloths, the loose ends of which trail apon the ground or tlv in the wind. It is very common for two to mount the same beast. Sometimes it is the mother holding a child, with, it may be, a dog (the object of equal affection) standing erect bcldud the saddle. All are expert ri ders, and the sight of a merry cavalcade fly ing over the road is quite exhilerating. The foreign population of Honolulu embraces a large number oi persons of refinement and culture. Few communities of equal six* sur pass it in this particular. The “Bine Tree State” lias contributed a full share of tnen who worthily occupy positions of trust and honor, and of women who grace society. There Is here a freedom of social intercourse, a cordial tone of manners, which is exceed ingly attractive. The stranger properly in troduced receives a warm greeting and a pro lusion of friendly attentions that make him feel at once that he is among friends. The soft air and warmth of these sunny isles have dissolved that reserve and formality which characterize alike the Englishman and the Yankee at house. Then, also, the cosmopoli tan character of the place, the mingling of

.o many different element, produce. social freedom and liberality of sentiment. In such a climate as this people find time to be social more readily than in the colder regions. They cannot and ought not to do as much labor as may be done in a brae ing air. Business Is limited to a fewer number of j hour*, and time thus left for recreations and friendly visits. This is the realm of perpet ual summer. The native language is said to Have no word for vtathtr, because all days ite so nearly alike. The winter is marked by a .light decrease of temperature and bj frequent copious rain-falls. The thermome ter ranges at this time of the year from about seventy-eight to eighty-eight degrees, but the heat is not felt to the degree that might be in ferred from these figures, because the trade winds almost without interruption fan tin land. But this uniformity of temperature tells in the course of years upon the system, especially in the case of natives of cold coun tries. Without an occasional visit to other parts of the world to tone up the constitution, they lose strength and vital force. Old resi dents remark that more sickness prevails of late years in the city than formerly. A visitor coming here with the expectation of finding an abundance of tropical fruits will be greatly disappointed. There Is no large variety or profuse quantity. Tine-apples are abundant, but not better in condition than those brought to Xew England. Eigs have become almost extinct, and for several years a blight has been upon orange trees, largely diminishing their productiveness. Bannnns, mangoes and cocoannts are plenty. Melons alto of fine quality are readily produced. But for vegetables the dependence is largely upon Importation from other lands. The leading agricultural interest of the Islands is sugar. Large tracts of land are adapted to the cane, but the chief drawback In the way of produc tion is the want of a supply of cheap and re liable labor. The planters hare not been al together successful in obtaining Chinese. For ayeaT or two past many parts of the islands have suffered severely from drouth. The usual winter supplies of rain have not fallen, aad very serious apprehensions are felt lest important interests should be crippled beyond recovery. Iucc is produced in consmernuic quaiium-s, and pulu, a substance gntliercd from ft cer tain tree and used for upholstering purposes. An event of great importance and interest to the islands Is the recent establishment of steam communication with Australia and New Zealand. Two steamers at present consti tute the line, one arriving every month. I’as sengers for England are immediately trans ferred to the San Francisco steamer, and thence proceeding by the Pacific railroad and by steamship from New York, may arrive in London several days in advance of any other route. When arrangements are completed, a greater speed will be secured and the route by the way of these islands and the United States may become the great highway of communication between Great Britain and her great colonics in the.South Pacific. It is hoped also that a new and profitable market will be found in Australia for sugar and other Hawaiian productions. No one ran doubt the growing importance of this group of islands. Their position makes them the most eligible midway station for steam- •hips plying between the California coast and j Australia or China. As means of communi- cation are improved many travellers will be I attracted hither to view the scenery which of- j fers some forms of magnificence not surpassed upon the globe. In a future letter your readers may receive sketches of life and scenes in other parts of the islands. M. Pailn Idtuntkt lournal. AUGUSTA, WEDNESDAY MORNING, Aug. 17, 1S70. REPUBLICAN NOMINATIONS.

KAPOLF.OS'S DILEMMA. The accounts of the secoud great battle in the European war, though not agreeing, (as thov come from from London and Paris) convey to those who have observed the peculiarites of the telegraph the im pression that Napoleon is beaten again and forced back from Met* toother defen ces. The despatch of King William an nouncing the victory of the Prussians lias more the air of truth than that of Napole on. The former claims an outright victo ry, the latter only claims that he resisted successfully the Prussians attack, which could be but a negative victory at the best. Beside we have found the Prussian de spatches up to this liattle, the most reliable, j and therefore news from that quarter is received with more confidence than from Paris. We have no doubt that when the particulars of the battle are received it will be seen that Napoleon is again de feated. Should it prove to be so his situa tion is desperate. Not popular before he commenced the war, bispoor general ship and ill fortune have damaged his reputation and standing in France im mensely, and the people are all ready to receive his downfall with satisfaction. The reports of rioting in Paris show the increase of dissatisfaction and insubordi nation in the populace, and denote a state of things in his rear scarcely less to he dreaded than the terrible and victorious foe in front. How to extricate himself with safety from the dilemma into which his own ambition and fool-hardiness have placed him is a difficult question for the worried and beaten Emperor. It ap pears to be credited that the Prince Impe rial has been sent out of the country for safe-keeping and that other measures have been takeu to prepare for the worst. We imagine Napoleon would be well content ed now to be assured of the safety of his i throne, and would not stick at a point of honor could he have matters stand as they 1 were before the first gun was fired. Pos i sibly he may find it convenient to take up 1 his abode-in this country, and if he should how pleasant the recollection of his deal ing toward thisgovemnentin the rebellion t will lie to him in his exile What a lesson for Kings and others who walk in high places is contained in the results of this contest at this time. The first Napoleon at Kibe is no more impressive of the in stability of Fortune and the weakness of man in the hands of Providence than the third Napoleon will be if driven from his empire in this war which he invoked. WAR SPLINTERS. General Sheridan has been received with marked official attention at Berlin,w hence, as last reported, he had departed for the headquarters of King William. A small trading vessel which persisted in entering the Jahde, on the Oldenburg coast, in spite of warnings of danger, ran against one of the torpedoes placed there to defend the harbor and was blown up. The Tribune has the following adver tisement Lost, stolen, or mislaid, a French Prince, 14 years of age, of tranquil tem perament, wears redtrowsers, and carries a bullet in his pocket. Was last seen go ing home from a baptism of fire. Is sup posed in Paris to be in Metz is supposed at Metz to be in Paris; is supposed at other places to be in London. Any infor mation concerning him will be received with the greatest indifference by the Corps Legislatif. General Moltke is the Major General of the Prussian army, and bears the reputa tion of being the ablest officer in Ger many. He was born in Mecklenburg, but removed to Holstein when a child, his father having acquired property there. He was educated in the military school of Copenhagen and was for a short time in the Danish service, but left it and went to Turkey, where, in 1829, he first obtained military experience in the Turk ish army. Returning from Turkey he at once obtained a commission in the Prus sian army, and for the skill and energy he displayed in the suppression of the re publican revolution of 1848 was rapidly promoted. During the first Schleswig Holstein war he bore a prominent part, and in 1868 was appointed Chief of Staff of the armies of Prussia. In 1864 he di rected the campaign against Denmark, and to his combinations were due the great success which attended the Prus sians in the Prussian-Austrian war of 1866. In the fall of the same year Prussian Chambers voted him a latge sum of money as a recompense for his great ser vice. General Von Moltke is believed to be the ruling spirit in the present invasion of France by the German forces. His head-quarters are with the King, and he is said to direct the movements of the ar my by telegraph. As a strategist and tactician he is regarded as the equal of any military man in Europe. The democracy conclude)! their hunt lor a candidate for governor yesterday, by nominating General Charles W. Roberts of Rangor. Mr. Roberts is not the man they desired or intended to nominate, but as nolwdy else would consent to be a candi date, It was “Hobson’s choice,” him or no body. Mr. Roberts must be very fond of a nomination to accept one which has been kicked about so long without finding a per son willingto take it. Perhaps he is like the woman who was twitted about her ugly and diminutive husband by an old maid, who retaliated upon her tormenter by replying that she knew her husband-was a "tarnal cheap critter,” but he was a pesky sight better than none.” This is a very cheap nomination, butperhapsthe nominee thinks it is better than none, although the most of people would have said he hud better re mained au old maid awhile longer. LETTER FROM WASH1SGT0S. Washington. D.C., Aug. 11, 1ST0. A Tair on Chesapeake Bay. Last week, by invitation, your correspond ent, in company with several other gentlemen connected with the Departments, left this city bt the early morning train for Baltimore, where they were joined by Collector Thomas of that port, and about noon went on board the Revenue Cutter “Northerner,” where we were welcomed by Capt. McGowan, one of the best of men to take a sea journey with. He has been in the service of the United States about forty years with the exception of a few years in command of the California steamers. “The Northerner" is a fast side wheel steamer of about 300 tons, and was built by the Treasury Department about ten years ago. She has had the honor of carrying Ex-I’residont Johnson, Ex-Secre tary McCulloch, Ex-Secretary of State, Washhurnc, etc. She is one of the very fast est boats in the service of the Government and when she gets in her steel boiler, which is something new in marine engineering, she will probably be able to outstrip almost anything on the sea. She had the honor of being chosen by the Government on the occasion of the visit of Queen Emma of the Sandwich Islands, and also of the Japanese Embassy to take them around from Washington to New York. Her full complement of officers and men consist of thirty-six: the Capt., first, second and third lieutenants, Chief, and first and second Ass’t engineers, a pilot, a gunner, boatswain, steward and two assistants, and twenty-three seaman. She is the only Rev enue Cutter which carries a colored crew. They make excellent sailors and give better satisfaction than white men. As oarsmen they cannot be excelled. The Cutter makes two round Hips a month on the Bay, starting from Baltimore and going south to the Capes, then returning. She cruises about from point to point, boarding all incoming vessels from for eign port?, examining their niannestsoi cargo and keeping one copy, which i» forwarded to the Collector at Baltimore or whatever port they are bound for on the bay or river?, and there compared with the original manifest given by the Captain. The Cutter is also re quired to give assistance to all vessels in dis- j tress. These are the duties of Kevenue Cut- j ters generally. The ‘•Northerner" carries an armament consisting of a brass 24 lb. howitzer, and a 110 lb. steel Parrot Hide gun, besides a quantity of muskets and cutlasses. The Cut ter is under the immediate control of the Col- lector at Baltimore, who can command her to seize any vessel for an infringement of the revenue. She went to Newhurn, N. C., and captured the Cuban Privateer “Hornett" alias “Cuba,” etc. Fort Carroll. Eighty miles below Baltimore we stopped at Fort Carroll, an immense unfinished granite Fortification, in deep water, commanding all the approaches to the city. The Government has expended a million and a half and the fort is not half completed. No work is now go- j ing on, and the only persons there are an old j Sergeant of Artillery, who is in charge, with his family, and the light house keeper and family. A light house is situated within the fort. Strangely enough nearly all the guns which are mounted, are pointed toward the city of Baltimore, which was (and still is) at the time they were plueed there, bitterly rebel in sentiment. Tmf. Bremen Steamers. As we passed out from Baltimore we noticed j one of the new line of Bremen steamers lying up dismantled, as the underwriters will not allow her to go to sea during the Franco-Prus sian War. This will be a very considerable injury to the city as this line was a great suc cess. Yet while we were in the bay the “Leipsic," another steamer of this line, very unexpectedly arrived from Southhampton where she had been detained by the Insurance Companies, but had managed to slip out and evade the French cruisers, one of which she saw in the English Channel, but it seemed not to notice her, while the other gave her chase off our coast but was unable to overtake her. Boarding a “Dutchman.^ aooui inrue o ciock, as we were uuwiuig along down the Bay at good speed, anil en joying ourselves after a capital lunch, we saw a fine full-rigged ship ahead which upon closer approach we descried as the “Albert.” She showed no colors and had nothing to designate where the came from, but the quick eye of Capt. McGowan pronounced her a “Dutch man,” and upon boarding her she was found to be a German vessel, direct from Liverpool with a mixed cargo of hardware, earthenware, soda, etc. She was commanded by a German i or Dutchman and had a Dutch crew. After we boarded her she showed her flag which wo supposed she had neglected to raise before, j fearing that she might be captured. She was sailing up under a stiff breeze and did not stop or change her course. Our steamer turned i about and accompanied her up the bay until the boarding boat left the ship, when we again started down and steamed as far as the mouth of the Wycomieo river, where we anchored for the night at about 10 o’clock. We passed the mouth of the Potomac about sundown. Fismxo. The next morning early a boat’s crew went ashore and drew in a seine, catching quite a number of fish and crabs. After breakfast we started in a boat and went to a buoy, lying over the wreck of the revenue Cutter “Nemaha" which was burned and went down about two years since with a loss of two of the crew. Pish always congregate about wrecks to eat the shell fish which abound there. We found that wrecking was more constant than fishing, and where wu caught one fish, we hooked our lines twice in the wreck. How ever we had very good luck, catching quite a number of Tautogs and a few Sheep’s Head’s etc. We fished until lunch time, when we re turned from the Cutter below to the Cutter above. The Jei.lv Fish are exceedingly numerous in the Bay, and last night the water presented a beautiful ap pearance us it came from the wheels which stir up thousands of these fish and cause them to emit a large phosphorent light of singular beauty. The water seems all aglow as if really on fire. These wonderful flsli in day light appear little more than a small, lifeless form of jelly. They are translucent, of a white color, and have feelers which look like threads. If they are handled they will sting with these feelers. Ckabs are really very wonderful fish. They swim and walk sidewise. They cast their shell once a year, and those having new coats are much sought afteras “soft shell crabs.” One of their peculiarities is the ability to shod a claw close to the body whenever it is requir ed. They lose their claws yearly. They can he caught by dropping a hook and line with a large bait, to the bottom. They will cling to the bait w ith their front claws until you haul them to the top of the water, when, unless you put a hoop net under them, they will let go and drop into the water. Fortress Monroe we rearhed at noon the following day, and found it to be the hottest place we have been in this season. This famous fortification is situated at the extremity of a narrow neck of land running out into Hampton Itoads, and forming a part of Hampton County, Va. It is an immtnse concern, and has already cost twenty-five millions of dollars. It is the only first class fort, or the only Fortress in the United States. It consists first of an outside fort of earth backed with granite, then a deep moat filled with with sea-water. Then the principal or inner fort whose upper ramparts hang perpendicularly over rile moat and over look the outer fort. Heavy ten and fifteen inch guns surmount the fori. It would be a harvest of death for an enemy to attempt to storm the place, and no possible chance for success if it was bravely defended. The casemates are bomb-proof on top.and situated at the back of the inner fort. rl he target for heavy gun practise is four miles across the Bay. The day before we arrived, ns some colored men under charge of a white sol dier were emptying the charges out of con demned shells inside the fort, one of the negroes carelessly caused a shell to explode, which set fire to the small frame building in which the four were at work, and burned up three of their bodies and shockingly muti lated the fourth man. There were quite a number of shells in this building and several similar buildings near by also containing shells, which buildings were set on fire, and for nearly two hours a fierce bombardment went on, the pieces of shell Hying about in every direction, it was a scene of c nster nalion, but fortunately no serious damage done except the killing of the four men. The Kip Kaps. an immense and unsightly pile of half finish ed masonry, are just across the channel about two miles from Fortress Monroe. The great derricks are standing there but no work is being done. The fort or battery has been built up with two tiers of casemates, and the lower one is said to have sunk several feet, so that it is now almost on a level with the ground, which is made land. These two forts cover the entrance to the bay and to the James river. Norfolk. We steamed in two hours from Fortress Monroe to Norfolk. The town is famous only for its fine nnvy yard, now rather decayed, and from its history in the rebellion. It looks like a well laid out place, and has a consider able trade, especially in Iruit, oysters and fish. Steamers run from there to Washington, Baltimore, New York and Boston. For SIG.oO a person can go from Washington to Boston on a good steamer with meals free.— It takes from three to four days, including 12 hours’ stop at No'rfolk. Norfolk from its fine commercial situation, ought to become one of the principal cities of the Union; but there is very little enterprise there. We saw lying at the navy yard the old frigate Brandywine,” which brought Generel Lafayette to this coun try on his last visit. Annapolis. The next day we visited tbis ancient and famous town. It is situated on the western shore of Chesapeake Bay and has always been the Capitol of the Slate of Maryland. It was many years ago the center of fashion and learning. The town has not been improved any in appearance for fifty years. The old Colonial State House still accommodates the State Legislature. It is rather a fine build ing for a hundred years ago, but very small for the uses of a present General Assembly. In the Senate Chamber Gen. Washington re signed his commission and surrendered his sword as Commander in chief of the Conti nental army. The Naval Academy, which is really the life and ornament of An napolis, is composed of numerous brick buildings occupied by the officers of the yard and the ‘‘Middiesthe latter are nearly all off now on foreign cruises in their school ships. The grounds are very nicely laid out, and are still being improved. The “Constitution,” the oldest and most famous war vejsel of the navy, lies at the naval academy dock. The midshipman in charge informed us that the only portions of the original ship left are two posts or anchor cable bits in the stern; every other part having been rebuilt. She is in ex cellent condition, and is used only as a school ship. The old frigate “Santee” is also there. She is used for heavy gun practice. She re mained on the stocks about fifty years unfin ished, but a few years since the nary dep't concluded to finish her. The Governor’s House, is the last built and handsomest building in Annapolis. It Is the custom of the Southern States to give their Governors a mansion free of rent at the seat of Government, and a good custom too, considering the very small annual stipend which is allowed. The New England States would do well to adopt this custom. A Railroad connects Annapolis with the Baltimore and Ohio K. H. about 15 miles south of Baltimore. By these roads we re turned to Washington, after an absence of five days. Ciiannino. The Fenobscot County Democratic Conven tion to nominate candidates for State Senators and County officers met in Bangor Monday, and nominated the following candidates For Senators, John A. Larrabee of Carroll, Dan iel Stone of Hampden and Bradbury liobineon of Corinth; for Sheriff, James Garlund ol Carmel; for Clerk of Courts, Daniel Sanborn of Bangor; for County Attorney, Fred M. Laughton of Bangor; for Register of Probate, Charles M. Hersey of Bangor; for County Treasurer, I. W. Fatten of Bangor for County Commissioner, Samuel Waters of Fatten. Mr. Fatten declining to accept the nomina tion for County Tieasurer, on motion of Mr. Varney of Bangor, Timothy P. Bachelder ol Kendutkeag was nominated in his stead. POLITICAL. Six wards in Portland chose Chamber lain delegates to the county convention, one ward was of a different stripe. The democrats had a loving time at1 Bangor at their State convention. The Argus says “the young democracy and the old-liners vied with each other in expres sions of mutual admiration and good will.” There will be peace till the next family fight. The Tennessee democratic convention will meet in Nashville September IS. The canvass for a candidate for governor, since the democratic success in North Carolina, is lively.

The proceedings and nominations of the Ohio Republican State Convention held at Columbus on Wednesday, the 10th, gave j great satisfaction, and were marked by extraordinary harmony and enthusiasm. The New York World celebrates the j North Carolina election by advising the 1 Democrats to quit their assaults upon the i colored people, to cease clamoring over i dead issues, and to silence the cry for a white man's party. Prof. Perry, who perambulates and, orates in the pay of the Free-Trade League was recently speaking his piece at Urbana, Ohio, and in the course of it, set fourth the superior condition of British to Ameri-1 can workingmen, instancing that a suit of I clothes equal to his, which cost $lo, was j recently bought in London by a friend for $10. A workingman present was impelled by this statement to ask—“Ilow much did the English tailor receive for making that $10 suit of clothes ?"—The Professor did not seem to know, nor to consider that point material—wherein the workingmen present didn't agree with him. GENERAL NEWS. It is rumored in Chicago that lion. Lyman Trumbull has been tendered the position of Secretary of State by President Grant. The Yachts Guinevere and Olniara divided the honors and prizes of the Royal "Victoria Regatta on Thursday. I Some of the newspapers are shocked that Napoleon should hang round Nancy and leave Eugenie to occupy “the front of dan ger.” A young lady in Milwaukee has completed an excellent likeness of the Emperor Napo leon in worsted, the most appropriate materi al for a portrait at the present lime. Attorney-General Akerman Saturday night delivered an address before the Southern Re publican Club, in Washington, on the sub ject of reconstruction. Nitro-glyccrine has been in use lut five years, yet over seventeen hundred persons have been killed or maimed by it. A manifesto issued by the leaders of the re publican party in Spain demands the convo cation of the Cortes and the revision of the Monarchical clause of the Constitution. The manifesto counsels calmness and subordina tion as the only guaranties of success. It is reported that the pilot of the Coney Island steamboat Norwalk, which ran into the schooner Lady Ellen, from Boston, was in toxicated and did not heed the schooner's ap proach till she was within 100 yards of his boat. Complaints are also made against Capt. Wilson of the Norwalk because he displayed j no lights. It is asserted that Governor Holden will surrender the prisoners held by his orders at Yunceyvilie to Judge Brooks at Salisbury, on Thursday. It is understood that an injunc tion will be served to restrain the Treasurer from paying the Holden State troops. The choiora has broken out in towns along the shores of the Black Sea, and vessels thence are quarantined at Liverpool. The Orange celebration at Londonderry was attended with much violence. There were numbers of desperate affrays which as sumed such proportion at one time that the riot act was read. Forty persons were more or less injured. At Eniskillen good order was maintained only by the presence of strong bodies of police and soldiery. Ice companies in New York have advanced the price of ice from fifteen to twenty dollars a ton at wholesale. At retail the price has been raised from one and a half cents a pound to two cents. Domestic Ketos. The First Maine Heavy Artillery will cele brate their Eighth Anniversary by an Excur- sion from Bangor to Fort Point, August 23d, returning the same day. The survivors, I friends and relatives of the ltegiment, are cor- dially invited to attend. Col. Z. A. Smith of Skowhegan, Editor of the Somerset Heporter, i will deliver an Historical Address. David Barker, Esq., of Exeter, will read a poem in scribed to tbe ltegiment on its return from the war—the sequel to “Yeu Thousand of Men.” The Bangor Cornet Band has been engaged to supply the music for the occasion. The Portland papers state that an injunc tion lias been served upon the proprietors of the Cumberland Oxford Canal, restraining them from interfering witli the bridge ol the Portland Ogdensburg railroad that crosses the basin near Libby’s Corner in the vicinity of Portland. The Independent says that Menxies L. Smith, son of Dca. Elijah Smith of Saco, who lias been in business in Shanghai, China, for the last eleven years, arrived home last week. Maine State Fair, 1870.

WAR IN EUROPE. THE DECISIVE BATTLE TO BE FOUGHT BEFORE CHALONS. McMahon’s Retreat to Chalons Re- j, ported to be Cut Off. __ METZ PREPARED FOIt A SEIGE OF j LONG DURATION. I. Capture of Fortress Marshal and Sixty Cannon. CONFIRMATION OF TIIE PRUSSIAN •VICTORY BEFORE METZ. Particulars of the Battle. Loxdok, Aug. 1C. It is believed ihat Marshal Razaine leaves a strong garrison at Metz, and w ill fight the j decisive battle of the war on the plains of Champagne, before Chalons. Despatches received here from Paris state that serious apprehensions are felt that the Prussians have cut of) McMahon’s communi cation with Metz and prevented his retreat on Chalons. Metz is provisioned and othe'rwisu fully prepared for a soige of long duration. Sayerne, Aug. 10. Fortress Marshal, a small town a little north east of Nancy, 1ms been captured by a body of Bavarian troops, after a short bom bardment, and sixty cannon captured. New York, Aug. 10. A private despatch from London, dated at 10-3U A. M., c onfirms the French defeat, with fearful loss in the late battle. London, Aug. 15. Our special correspondent telegraphs from Luxembourg this aiternoon that the line to Metz is again open. The fighting lasted from tour until nine o'clock. Our special from I.udn igsltafen writes on Friday that the advance ot the southern army i had arrived at liagenau. Two lieutenants with a handful of cavalry entered the town and rode through the streets. On reaching the barracks they summoned the French to surrender. Men instantly threw their Chas st pots out of the windows, and in this man ner a few cavalry held and captured 200 prisoners, 130 horses and lit wagons filled with supplies. Since the battle of Weissett bttrg numbers of prisoners leave been cap- tured daily. Many also hate tied to the, woods and villages and were compelled front J hunger to surrender. Thu country is ex hausted and the population almost famished. Great numbers of troops continue to ar rive front all parts of Germany. It is still considered uncertain whether the Emperor or Marshal Bazaine commands. No decree has yet made Bazaine Generalissimo. Count Palikao's is equivocal. Nothing proves that the Emperor may not at any moment re- appear at the head of the army. Chaugar- j nter is in great favor, but no command lias yet been assigned him. Nothing is yet known of McMahon's posi tion. and it is probable that he w ill be unable to rejoin the army at a nearer point titan at Chalons. Later. Berlin. Aug. 16. j Late on Monday afternoon the first and i seventh Prussian army corps attacked the j French forces under the walls of Metz, and a sanguinary conflict ensued. The French were at length driven within the city, with a loss of 4.000 men. tin the same day a t grand reconnaissance finder King William in i person, maintained itself some hours within two lines of the French, without any effort on the part of the French to dislodge them. This shows utter demoralization of the French. London, Aug. 16. The following details of an assault upott Judge McCunn have been received here: On Saturday during the celebration of raising the seige, Londondcry Judge MeCunn was on a visit to Coleraine, a few miles east of Londondcry, and in the same county. While at the railroad station accompanied by two Priests, Mr. McKenna, one ot the editors of the Belfast Star, and some other friends, a mob of orangemen made an assault upon him and his companions. McKenna was roughly handled and others of the party hurt, but the Judge managed to escape without serious injury. The Bavarians navo not r>een supplied with the needle gun, but still use the old percussion lock muzzle-loaders. It is feared that McMahon’s Corps at and around Strasbourg is entirely entofl from the main body of the army. The following items are extracted from the French Official Bulletins: The Prussians arc not in any great force f before Strasbourg. The town of Bitche still holds out against the enemy. The Hailway Bridge at Tcrgenpin, on the line between Strasbourg and Basle has been destroyed by the enemy. The stories of the arrival of the Empress and Prince Imperial on English soil are re peated to-day. but they are untrue. It is cer tain that tin Prince Imperial is now in Paris. The Telegraph’s Paris Correspo dent says tlie French Chambers are unworthy of public respect. There is a growing and hitter feeling of hos tility to Napoleon in Paris. This feeling is now evinced towards tile Empress from the recent Ministerial appointments. Cries of “Vive la Hepubliquc" are constantly heard lrom all parts of the city, and from all classes I of citizens. Reliable information here reports that the Emperor is in a very dejected state. His melancholy now appears deep seated, and be is constantly overheard repeating to hiuiscli “On ma Coupe.” Despatches from the Prussian Government to the Prussian Ambassador here are full of triumph at the early result of the war. I Experiments recently made with the Mi traillcurs at Shacburgness indicate the instru ment is a destructive one at close quarters, but that troops dependent on it may be anni hilated by artillory before the Mitrailleurs cun be got in range. The Times sympathizes strongly with the Prussians, and rejoices at their recent »uc j cess. VlKSKA, Aug. 1G. Barnn Von Bcust lias publicly denied any attempt on bis part to medi ate on questions at issue between France and Prussia. Paris, Aug. 1G. The Journal Official of to-day contains a decree declaring the cities of Cherbourg, Lor ient, Brest and Uochefort in a state of seige.

The French left two despatch boats in Ti ber on evacuating Home. An official despatch from the Prefect of Metz to the Minister of the Interior, is pub lished to-day. He says a body of German Uhlans have been seen in the neighborhood of Come rev, marching towards Hurledue, and that he has therefore cut the railway in that section to impede the advance of the enemy. The French Journals complain of the brev ity of the despatches from the seat of war. Even the Constitutional Semi-official Organ Says the despatches do not give very precise ideas of the position of either army. Algeria has been declared in a state of Beige. FROM BANGOR. Baxcor, Aug. IS. Democratic Convention. The Democratic State Convention which adjourned over from Portland, met here to day, lion. E. F. Pillsbuiv in the chair. A letter was received from Gen. Franklin Smith declining a nomination. Gen. Clias. W. Robert* of this city was then put in nom ination for Governor, receiving all but two uuKot G73 votes. Fite following resolutions reported by the Committee ou resolutions j were adopted. Resolved, That the National Administra tion has proved a failure; it has violated its sacred pledges to the people; it promised them economy and faithfulness in national affairs, but it lias given them extravagance and corruption; it promised them a Republi can form ot governmmt, but in many of the stales it lias established a military despotism, trying thereby to intimidate the people there ot, and make them subservient to their wicked rule. iicamvcu, anal me orumnry expense oi the general ami state governments are swelled beyond all precedent and calculation by the enormous increase ot the number and salaries of their officers. In this we timl glaring Evidence of the existence of a system which is rapidly corrupting the public service, robbing labor of the bread it has earned, and endangering the liberties of the people. Ilesolved, That the act passed by the last legislature, which withdrew from the people of all tlie several school districts iri tills State tlie right to regulate the mode ol educating their children as they might deem best, is one of the many dangerous attempts to abridge the rights of our citizens, and abro gates a time-honored law and usage of this State. Ilesolved, That the tariff for protection is mainly for the benefit of the weulthy and the monopolists; that free trade is the right of tile people. Ilesolved, That we invite the thoughtful consideration of the people of Maine, with whom ship-building and freighting have herc tolore been successful pur-uits, to the fact that the seaboard ot Maine languishes and daily grows poorer, because of vexations, taxation, and the refusal of the Republican Administration to afford adequate legislation. Resolved, That while the Democratic party arc in in tavor of a judicious regulation by law for tlie sale of intoxicating liquors, they are opposed to the present prohibitory law and the restoration of a State Constab ulary An Anti-Chinese resolution, and a resolu tion in confidence of their nominee were also adopted. The convention was quite full ami very harmonious. The nomination of Gen. Roberts was received with a salute. A ratification meeting was held at Xorom bega llall this evening. Philander J. Carleton of Camden was to day nominated as Democratic candidate for Representative to Congress from the 5th District. FROM NEW YORK. New York. Aug. 16. Enthusiastic Germans here freely offer beta of a thousand dollars that the Prussians will he in Paris before the end ut tlie month. F. Gallatidetin has a last evening Paris despatch to tlie Courier des Etats L'nis, r French paper in tiiis city, which says Napo leon was at Verdun and will surely make a short visit to Paris this week, lie will bo preceded by a lJulletin of Victory, and w ill receive the greatest ovation ever given a Sov ereign. FROM CONCORD. Cox cos I), X. II., Aug. 16. Suicide. An Irishman named Kamo, employed by Joseph 15. Walker as gardener, shot himself through the head this morning witli a re volver. He was found by tlie servat t girl about seven o'clock, lying with his head in a pool of blood. The ball entered his forehead but did not pass out and cannot be found. He retained possession of his senses up to 11 o’clock, but wilt probably die during the afternoon. Tlie cause of tlie deed was hypochondria, ns he lias been afflicted with fears of iieart disease.

When the lessons and tasks are all ended, And the school for the day Is dismissed, And the little ones gather around me, To hid me good-mght and be kissed; Oh. the little white arms that encircle My neck in a tender embrace I Oh, the smiles that are halos 01 heaven. Shedding sunshine ot lore on my face I And when they are gone I sit dreaming Of my childhood too lovely to last; Of love that my heart will remcmtier. When it wakes to the pulse of the past, Ere the world and its wickedness made me A partner of sorrow and sin; When the glory of Oral was about me. And the glory of gladness within. Oh, my heart grows weak as a woman's And the fountains of feeling will flow. When 1 think of the paths steep and stony, Where the feet of the dear ones must go; Of the mountains of sin hanging o’er them. Of the tempest of sin blowing wild; Oh, there's nothing on earth half so holy As the innocent heart or a child! They are idols of hearts and of households, They are angels of God in disgnise; His sunlight still sleeps in their tresses, His glory still gleams in their eyes: Oh, those truants from home and Irom heaven, They have made me more manly and mRd! And I know now how Jesus could likeu The Kiagdom of God to a child. I ask not a life of the dear ones. All radiant, as others have done, But that life may have Jost enough shadows To temper the glare of the sun; I would pray God to guard them from evil, But the prayer would bound back to myself; Ah! a seraph may pray for a sinner, But a sinner must pray for himself. The twig is so easily bended, I have banished the rule and the rod; I have taught them the goodness of knowledge, They have taught me the goodness of God; Mv heart is a dungeon of darkness. Where I shut them from breaking a rule! My frown is sufficient correction; My love is the law of the school. I (ball leave the old homestead in autumn, To traverse it* threshold no mere; Ah' how I shall sigh for the dear one*. That meet me each morn at the door 1 I shall mid the "good nights” and the kiise*. And the gash of their innocent glee, The group on the groan, and the flowers Thai are bi ought every morning to me. I shall mis* them at morn and at even, Their song in the school and the street; 1 shall mis* the low hum of their voices And the tramp of theirdelieste feet. When the lessons ami talks are all ended. And Isasth say*, "The school is dismissed!” May tb# little ones gather aroond me. To bal me good night and be kissed. Leigh Hunt concludes »n es»y on mar riage as follows "There is no one thinjr more lovely in this life, more lull of di vi»e courage, th in when a young maiden, trotn her past life, from her happy child hood. when she run bled OTer every tieid and moor around her home; when a mother anticipated her wants and soothed her hale cares: when her brothers and sisters grew fr-tn merry playmates to lov ing trustful friends from Christmas gath erings and romps, the summer festivals in It»*rer or garden; from the rooms sancti fied by the death of relatives: from the seeare baric-grounds of her childhood and maidenhood.

The Kidneys are two in number, situated at the upper part of the loin, surrounded by fat. and con sisting of three parts, viz: the Anterior, the Interi or, and the Exterior. The anterior absorbs. Interior consists of tissues or veins, which serve as a deposit for the urine ami convey it to the exterior. The exterior is a con ductor also, terminating in a single tube, and called the Ureter. The ureters are connected with the bladder. The bladder is composed of various coverings or tissues, divided into parts, viz: the Upper, the Lower, the Nervous, and the Mucous. The upper expels, the lower retains. Many have a desire to urinate without the ability; others urinate without j the ability to retain. This frequently occurs in children. To cure these affections, we must bring into ac tion the muscles, w hich are engaged in their vari ous functions. If they are neglected, Gravel or Dropsy may ensue. The reader must also be made aware, that who ever slight may be the attack, it is sure to affect the bodilv health and mental powers, as our flesh and blood are eupimrted from these sources. Gout, ok RhtiMATJSM Pain occurring in the loins is indicative of the above diseases. They oc cur in persons disposed to acid stomach and chalky concretions. The Guavel.—The gravel ensues from neglect or improper treatment of the kidneys. These or gans being weak, the water is not expelled from the bladder, but allowed to remain; it becomes fever ish. and sediment forms. It is from this deposit that the stone is formed, and gravel ensues. Dropsy is a collection of water in some parts of the body, and bears different names, according to the parts affected, viz when generally diffused I over the body, it is called Anasarca; when of the abdomen, Ascites; when of the chest, Hydrotlio rax. I Treatment.—Helmbold’s highly concentrated compound Extract Ilu. Allow me to call your attention to ray PREPAR ATION OF COMPOUND EXTRACT BCCIH The component parts are BUCIIC, Lom» LEAF, j CUBEBS, JENIFER BERRIES. Mope of Preparation.—Buchu, in vacuo. Juniper Berries, by distillation. to form a fine gin. Cubebs extracted bv displacmeut with spirits ob tained from Juniper Berries; very little sugar is used, and a small proportion of spirit. It is more palatable than any now in use. Buchu. ns prepared by Druggists, is of a dark color. It is a plant that emits its fragrance; the action of a flame destroys this (its active principle), leaving a dark and glutinous decoction. Mine is the color of ingredients. The Buchu in my prepar ation predominates; the smallest quantity of the other ingredients are added, to prevent fermenta tion upon inspection, it will be found not to be a Tincture, as made in Pharmacopeia, nor is it a Syrup—and therefore can be used in ca*€S where fever or inflammation exists. In this, you have the knowledge of the ingredients and the mode of pre paration. Hoping that you will favor it with a trial, and that upon inspection it will meet with your appro bation. With a feeling of confidence, I am, very respectfully, H. T. IIELMBOLD. Chemist and Druggist of 19 Years* Experience.
