It can not be expected that she should also speak ad equately for Maine. Portland is the commer cial emporium of the State. She should also be its mouth piece.

Acknowledgement.—Our thanks are due to Bro.

Cy°*Read the Hist and last pages for inter esting miscellany. By one of those mistakes which will sometimes occur, even in a well regulated family, an editorial, headed “A Dis tiiu-tion n ithout a Difference, is mixed with outside matter, which should have appeared in the editorial columns. Mumford, who was recently hung at New Orleans for cutting down the U. S. flag, was a gambler by profession. cr Gen. McDowell was recently severely I injured by being thrown from his horse. zr Gen. McClellan has issued a humane order forbidding all fast driving of horses and mules, except in cases of necessity. New Apothecaby Establishment.—Our friend, Messrs. Crossman Poor, have just opened a new Apothecary Store, at No. 75 Middle St., in Fox Block. They have arranged it in exquisite taste, and will be pleased to re ceive a call for their friends and the “rest of mankind” generally. See advertisement. or We are indebted to the Purser of the j steamship North American for files of English and Irish papers, for which he has our thanks A Maine Man Missing.—We learn from the Boston Journal of the tilst iust., that Capt. Thomas S. Kimball of Eastport, is missing, under circumstances which excite the fears of his friends for his safety. He had shipped as mate of the schooner Triumph, of Gloucester, for a foreign voyage, and. on Thursday morn ing last went on shore at T. wharf, saying that lie wmiia rciurn in a lew minute*. He is re ported to be n highly respectable man. and no reason can be assigned for his unaccountable disappearance. His effects are at the office of William Cook Co., 14 Commercial Street, Boston. sar- We are not insensible to kindness nor impervious to the effects of a kind word. We appreciate a recent notice of an editor in this city, who. in referring to the Press, and the merging of the Aroostook Herald and Bath Times in it, said: The editor of the Times, we are informed, is to be the editor of the consolidated Journal; j so that its character will be, we suppose, about what that of the Times was; and that was, ns our readers are well aware, unfriendly to the Advertiser. Not unfriendly; that word savors of unkind ness, of which there, is not a particle in our composition. It was our labor, in the col umns of the Bath Times, during thesomewliat heated campaign of 1800, to fight for the man j whose ashes now repose near the peaceful shore i of I.like Michigan, and this brought us in dis agreeable conflict with the Breckinridge lead- j ers and organs, whom we considered, and now consider, the authors of all our mischief. It was natural, then, when we found a newly Im ported editor in Maine, saying that he voted for Breckinridge, “because the platform on which he had been placed wax lexx objection"- 1 ble than any other Candidate'*,” that we should “pitch in.” We couldn’t help it. though we protest there was no unkindness in the act. I sy- Our friends from the different sections of the State, are cordially invited to call and I see us at our new and spacious rooms in Fox 1 Block, when they visit our city. We shnll al ways lie glad to see them. Of course we e^- pcct our clfy friends to drop in upon us as often as convenient, without a special invita tion. cr- Notices of deaths and marriages will be I inserted in our columns without charge; so al so will brief religious notices. Our country cotemporaries are luxu riating on strawberries and cream. For the next few weeks they would think it degrading to notice a resident of the Garden of Eden. tr- The merging of the Arooshwk Herald and Bath Eastern Times in the Portland Press, will explain to a few distant advertisers why their favors appear in the columns of this pa per. Not only the same readers who have lieen accustomed to see them in those papers will lie reached, but a very large class of new subscrib ers. Z3f~ Hon. J. W. Hathaway, recently de ceased at Bangor, was appointed to the Su preme Bench of Maine by Gov. Hubbard. He was 04 years of age at the time of his death. We notice that Mr. Cushman, the pop ular ami efficient Superintendent of the Ken nebec and 1‘urtlund K. K., has commenced the work of changing the location of tliat road just below Steamboat wharf in Hallowell, so that a solid embankment will take the place of the high bridge at that place, which has long been a source of dread to timid travellers. Summer tourists and others who de light in beautiftil natural scenery will do well to make a trip to Grand Falls, via the river St. John. The scenery is widely varied in charac ter and can hardly be surpassed. Persons who desire can take the splendid steamer Xew Brunswick, Monday evening, and reach St. John in season to take the up-river boats to Fredericton, Woodstock and Grand Falls. On this boat, Capt. Winchester, who is every inch a gentleman, and Mr. Kilby, the efficient and accommodating clerk, will make the trip pleasant. From St. John to Fredericton the traveller will be fortunate if he can secure a passage in the Ueatlier Bell, whose master, ('apt. Samuel Weston, we found to be the right man in the right place. From Woodstock to Grand Falls, if the wa ter will permit, the little steamer Gazelle will be found just what is required, and her master, our old friend S. H. L. Whittier, will point out all objects of interest on the way. And last of all, a day or two spent at Grand Falls will amply repay one for the whole jour ney. We wonder that that place has no more visitors during the Summer season. The Heai.th of the Army.—Our boys at the South are mentioned as being in excellent health, especially those in the neighborhood of Corinth; and the health reports show a decided improvement within the past few weeks. The lists of sick have fallen off, and men by hun dreds have returned to their duties in the Held. A great part of this improvement is owing to the acclimation of the men. The Prete is designed to reflect the intiments of the People, to speak in their aine so for as Its conductors shall lie able to iterpret their spirit and wishes. It will be le organ of no individual, cabal or clique, but ill labor with a single purpose to disseminate irrect principles, to subvert error or to neu alize its effect, and to sustain the party or anization to which it is committed just so far i that organization shall prove worthy of ipporL Political party organizations are leans not ends, and are to be made the in ruments for carrying into effect the will of le people, not the engines for controlling that ill. As such, the Press will yield to the Re ublican organization a cheerful support. New School House—The plans for the ;w school house to be built by the city, arc eing perfected by Geo. M. Harding, Archi •ct. The building is to tie located on the .'inflow lot, on Cumberland Street, to be of rick anil three stories high. It is designed ir the accommodation of the boys’ and girls igh school. It will be about one hundred ud fly feet in depth and proportional width. 'n the first floor are eight class rooms in lites. On the second floor, the school rooms roper, each 78 feet long by 64 wide, library joins, Ac. A partition separates the boys om the girlsapartments but by different stair ays they both descend to the class rooms be >w. to recitations, entering the rooms by dif irent doors. The boys and girls also enter te building from two streets, and in no case an they be together except at recitation time. >'he third story is to be devoted to Grammar chools. On tiie whole the building in respect arrangements and conveniences, cannot be xcelled in New England. We understand ist the work of erection is to begin speedily.

Lore may deny you its sunshine and dew; >*t the dew fail, for then showeis shall be given; lew is from earth, but the showers arc from heaven.” i ”11 dare to be true, though the floods and the tem pests, The whirlpools of passion descend o’er my way; hough bitter the taunts and though scathing the censure— I’ll dare to be true to my country to-day! Tis the day of her trial—the day of her trembling; The day she shall choose either glory or shame: V glory as bright as the stars in their shining— A shame that through ages shall cover her name! u umre to oe rrue to me uroxen ana lowly, When pride and derision God’s justice withhold; Though favor may court, or oppression assail me, I'll dare to be true, and I’ll dare to be bold. I’ll dare to be true to the slave and the bondman; The long serving, tempted and down-trodden race: May God make my pathway most bare of his mercy When in my heart's prayer they have not a place! Long time have they drank from the full cup of sor row, Long time have they travelled through darkness and night: While the sunlight of progress and God's loving mercy Were flushing the nation with wisdom and light. I’ll dare to be true to my friend and my brother: My heart be the rest for his oft whispered woes: My truth be his solace when lies have beguiled him— Mis trust, when tlieir malice his path oveiflows. Truth! best gift of heaven I’ll clasp thee—enfold thee. Will love thee, aud serve thee, and through thee, my God: And I’ll dare, when the days of my journey are ended, To calmly look back on the paths I have trod.

MATTERS ABOUT TOWN. Improvements.—Extensive improvements are being made on the Kennebec Portland bed, through its entire length. New rails are taking the {dace of the worn, and new sleepers are strengthening the old. The Ravine Road near Hallowell, is being filled and thus the railroad rendered more secure than before. Mr. Cushman is determined to give us, in the Kennebec 4 Portland, one of the best rail roads in Maine. jy The Anniversary of the Federal Street School, was fully attended on Sunday evening, and the large audience seemed to be interested in the exercises. J. H. Coffin, the Supt. ap peared to be an efficient officer, and his report was very minute and interesting. The School is in a flourishing condition; two deaths have occurred during the past year. There have heen several conversions from the ranks of the School. Remarks were opened by Dr. Robin son, Messrs. Ricker, Stevens, Claride, and Capt Sturdivant. The singing by the scholars was of a superior order, and was appreciated by the audience. With a most approving glance did we receive a box of strawberries from our kind friends on Market Square, Messrs. Greenough 4 Morse. We felt some little curiosity at viewing the amount of pigs and poultry scat tering about, evideucing a fearful slaughter, and betokenihg an attack to be made some where, and upon asking were quietly informed that the fifty pigs and 500 lbs. of turkies, were to occupy a very prominent part In the order of the day for to-day. What a fluttering of feathers,and squealing of pigs! Good times coming! lira bhacki.es or john brows.—we have now on exhibition at this office, through the kindness of a lady but recently returned from Martinsburg, the real, original and bona flde manacles of John Brown, of Harper's Fer ry notoriety. These irons were worn by Brown during his imprisonment, and were forwarded to this place by Sergeant Atwood, formerly of this dty, and now Jailor of Charleston, Va., to certain of his friends residing in this place. They were given to him by the jailer under whom John Brown was held in durance,aiid we will readily, in the face of such respectable ev idence, endorse the supposition of their being indeed genuine, and that they were once the fetters of the great Virginia agitator. One thing, in this connection, is certain. On the first Sabbath of this month Henry Ward Beecher delivered from the pulpit a most el oquent discourse, during which he took occa sion to prove to his people, affording them occu lar demonstration, that the manacles and chains of John Brown, were now in the pos session of the North, and, holding up from the sacred desk, the irons of the martyr, carried his hearers by the power* of oratory, back to the blood-stained soil of Harper’s Ferry. Par ties wishing to view them can do so by visiting our Counting room, at which place they will reRfldn lbr public inspection the balance of (he day. Almost a Translation. Rather an amusing incident occurred yesterday, at the works of the Portland Company, In which, bnt for the mild wind blowing at the time, we should have had occasion to chonide another trmilation, as of old. It seems that one of our down-town merchants essaying to take a peep through that monster telescope, the mam moth chimney, suddenly found himself lifted,’ and going. Hastily bidding his friends adieu, he resigned Himself to hts Impending late, and, like the equl-pobad steel between two magnets, remained for an instant suspended twixt heav-i( en and earth, when suddenly, the wind lulling,' he was enabled to descend again to terra firms, though not without the loss of hi*'tile,’ which, on eagles’ wings fled upward and onward, and whien last seen was entering an ominous look ing cloud preparatory to taking its last nap. Recruiting.—Seeadvertisement of Marston McAlister in another column. Now is a good time to enlist hi one of the finest regi ments Maine has raised. Return En.—The Halloweli Gazette states that Dr. J. Q. A. Hawes, who has been con nected with one of our Maine Regiments, at Port Royal, S. C., during the past year, arrived at his home in that city, on Wednesday of last week. A travelling circus nuisance passed through our city the other morning, with the usual parapheranlia of lank beasts and lazy, clownish performers.—{Halloweli Gazette. Wonder who’s been plaguing the usually placid editor of the Gazette. Didn’t the “lazy, clownish performers” send in the tickets A Long Month.—We notice aa advertise ment in one of our city cotemporaries, dated May 871b, 1M1 Z3T~ The Custom House will be open to-day, from 12 M. to 2 P. M. Cruelty to Animals.—A fiend in “store clothes” was noticed, on Saturday afternoon last, whipping a jaded horse in a most unmer ciful manner. The poor animal made a hearty snap at his arm, and had he have torn it from his body, the next brute coming within reach of his displeasure would have fared the better “A merciful man,” Ac. Pickpockets and “Rakes.”—Passing up Middle street, yesterday, we were somewhat alarmed at the large number of rakes upon that great thoroughfare; and we mentally re solved to give the public warning, by this me dium, to beware of ill-doers in the shape of pickpockets, who will no doubt be on the qui rite to-day, with their accustomed dexterity. The rakes, we since learn, are to be sent to the country, and the pickpockets to jail, if caught, caught, CAUGHT.” Pobtland Society of Natural His toby.—We are authorized to say that the hall of the Society, No. 150 Congress street, will b* open to the public, free of charge, to-day, from 9 A. M-, until 0 P. It. Among the recent additions to the collection is a plank from one of the mammoth trees of California, 11 feet long and 6 feet 5 inches wide, presented by Capt. E. C. Soule of Freeport. car- Extra trains will be run to-day over several of the roads leading to this city, for the accommodation of persons wishing to attend the Masonic celebration and the Congregation al State Conference. SyThe Courier, of this city, learns thnt $1000 were contributed in Kennebuuk, a few days since, to the fund of the Sanitary Com mission. Municipal Court. BEFOBE HIS HONOR, JUDGE LANE. Monday, June 23,1862. Peter Towle was arraigned on a charge of drunkenness and disturbance, “Wine Is a mocker, and strong drink b raging, in consequence of which Towfc was told to“pun glc down” the toll, to the amount of $3 and costs, which were paid with as cheerfol a spirit as the circumstances would permit of. Patrick Claneey, for the same offense, was relieved of the sum of $3 and costs, which be ing handed over in a very graceful manner, the law declared itself appeased. Go, Patrick and sin no more. Solomon Foster was brought to the bar on a charge of larceny. The evidence not prov ing sufficient, he was allowed to depart with all the honors of Wtt. The Procession.—Probably no feature of the 4th of July procession will be more attract ive than the Sons of Temperance. We learn that they are making extensive arrangements to give credit to their order and the city. It is designed to Invite neighboring divisions to attend, provided suitable arrangements with the railroads can be made, and from what we know of the committee of the order having the affair in charge, we can assure all, that their part will be no small one, in the pleasing effect of the day. Union Chcrch.—We learn that the con gregation which recently occupied Union Church, having agreed to sell the church prop erty rather than repair the damaged edifice, do not propose to dissolve their organization, but have actually made liberal provision for the fu ture, and their popular pastor, Rev. Henry D. Moore, will remain with them. For the pres ent they worship in Mechanics’ Hall, morning and evening, where they have overflowing con gregations. They propose to secure an eligi ble lot on Congress Street—probably near the Hall where they now worship—and erect upon it a structure suited to their future wants and prospects. Real Estate Sale.—We learn that H. F Storer, Esq., has purchased the estate of D. H. Furbish, Esq., on Danforth and Spring Streets. This is one of the most beautiful locations in the city, and although the grounds are now un der a good state of cultivation, they are sus ceptable of further improvements w hich they will undoubtedly receive at the hands of the new proprietor. Mr. Storer, we understand, paid *13,000 for the property. On the lot ad joining this, on Spring Street, a first class three story brick dwelling house has iust been erected and Is In the course of completion by John Randall, Esq., for his own occupancy. This lot was once a part of the same estate on which Messrs. T. C. Hersey and Henry H. Furbish have also very beautiful residences. Work for the Soldiers.—We learn that the Ladies Committee, at their room, City Building, now have a supply of hospital stores, such as sheets, shirts, towels, &c., cut out to be made up, and would be glad to have parties call and take this work to make up as early os possible, as urgent calls are now making for such supplies, in view of the great battle soon to come ofT. The Washington papers of last week reported the number of sick soldiers at fifteen hospitals in that city and vicinity to be 3856. This is a number of sick persons ex ceeding that of the whole population of any town in Cumberland County, save Portland, Westbrook and Brunswick. Imposing.—Oor towus-follr were much de lighted last evening, at the imposing appear ance of the Portland Cnmmandery, arrayed in their full and rich regalia, and performing escort duty to the De Molay and Boston En campments of Knights Templar. We learn also that the St. John's Encamp ment from Rhode Island, will become the guests of De ’Molay Encampment, at BosVou, dining with them at the Revere House. A Mrs. Real recently shot her husluuid j in New York for his conjugal infidelity, since which time she lias been overwhelmed with the sympathy of ladies in high position. It is hoped ber-act may not We extensively imitated, as it might seriously deplete the male popula tion of our large cities.

Hooker’s Division. j New York. June 33. The World's Washington dispatch says an important rumor is in circulation to-day, to the effect thas Secretary Stanton is about to decline the charge of the War Department, and that Major General Bauks will take the plaae vacated by nim. The Tribune's despatch says that Colonel C. C. Washburn, in command ot four regiments of cavalry, left Springfield, III., a week ago, to re lieve General Curtis, hi Ark. A grand convalescent camp has been estab- lished at Fairfax Seminary Va., to hold 1000 j convalescent patients Aon the Washington hos pitals. General Butler was serenaded on the 14th inst. j He made a speech, in which he declared that his feelings towards the South were friendly and fraternal, but at the same time, he was resolved j as a matter of duty inexorably imposed upon him, to cirry out the laws of the United States under all circumstances. In the suit against the bank of Louisiana, by I a depositor of confederate notea named Durands, Judge Bell decided that the bank must pay him in current funds. Gen. Butler sustained the de cision. The Spanish Vice Consul refused to clear a bill 1 of health to steamer Roanoke, consequently she did wot stop at Havana. The refusal was in con sequence of the Spanish steamer Cardenas being obliged to stop at quarantine, as appeared in the correspondence on the eubjeot. Gen. Butler has referred the matter to the State Department. There have been no retiel forces near Baton Rouge, except 200 guerrillas scattered between that city and Clinton. Gen. W'illiams sent Col. McMillian of the 31st Indiana regiment with a guard to scire some property. As they were up on the road they were tired upon by two guer- rillas, and Col. McMillian was slightly wounded with buck shot. The guard fired upon the ras cals and killed one and captured the other. Gen. Williams wrote to Gen. Butler fur instructions. The General answered as follows Head Quarters, Department of tiie Gclt, New Orleans, June 12, 1802. J General :—You ask what iihall be done with guerrillas? They should be captured, tried at the drumhead by military commission, and shot, every man their houses burnt, their property destroyed, and every means taken to show them that they are enemies of the human race not soldiers, but murderers and land pirates. There is only one way in which you can err towards them, and that is by a want of severity. By order of Gen' Butler. A letter in the Tribune says Gen. Btcnker has been removed by Gen. Fremont for insolence,and Gen. Carl Schurz appointed in his place. Corinth, June 22. It ii positively ascertained that Beauregard has turned his command over to Bragg. On the 15te he left for Montgomery, where he arrived on the 27th, accompanied only by his personal staff, and left fur Richmond. Two reports have been received here, one that he goes to take command, the other that he goes to explain the evacuation of Corinth. The lat ter report is considered the most probable, as it has been knowu for some time that Beauregard and Davis were on antagonistic terms. Fortress Monroe, June 23. The Metamoro arrived from City Point last night. Richmond papers of the 21st contain brief accounts of a bloody battle on Monday last between five federal regiments and a battery of parrot guns and parts of four confederate regiments and a battery. The battle lasted all day, with heavy loss on both sides. Charleston Mercury feared the battle would be renewed next day, and expressed apprehensions for the safety of the city in consequence of the great exhaus tion of the Ssuthern troops and the loss of many officers. Gena. Evans and Pemberton complimented the i troops on their bravery in standing under the tqield of our gunboats and batteries. The fight was within four miles of Charleston, and from an editorial in the Mercury I should think the rebels had been cut off from retreat from James Islands by our gunboats. If this is so Charles ton must fall. Louisville, June 22. Steamer Adelaide brought down the wives of Senators Wilkinson and Harlan, who have'pro ceeded to the White House to visit the army hospitals and minister to the sick and wounded. Yesterday the rebels opened upon Gen. Hooker's advance with shell, but did no serious damage. Geo Hooker answered from our principal new batteries which have just been completed, the shells of which were seen to burst among the rebel attacking party by persons in one of Prof. Lowe's balloons, causing the rebel artillerymen to retire. Our men are represented asenthustas tic in view of the prOapect of a great and deck sire battie., TELEGRAPHIC TO THE PORTLAND DAILY PRESS. Beauregard Second in Com mand at Richmond!

A Greensboro’, Mississippi paper of the four teenth gives a report from O'Ken'u County, that the niggers are rapidly nruuig to kill all the whites. On the 18th a negro plot was discover ed and punished. The Mobile News of the 14tli says the Geor gia Brigade, (4)00 strong, was to leave Wednes day under Gen. Lawton, to re-inforce Jackson. The same paper of the loth, makes no mention of the capture of Fort Morgan or an attack, al though some naval arrangements at New Or leans were considered as aiming at that point. Advices from Vicksburg via Grenada state that up to the 17th no active demonstration had been made by the Federal fleet since its retire ment. Several gunboats appeared'on the 15th from Velon. It is reported that 5000 Federals with trans ports and gunboats left Baton Rouge Friday, for Vicksburg. The Vicksburg Whig of the 17th learns that Gen. Lovell and Stuff have moved their head quarters to Meridan, and hopes he will not visit that city again. The Fedgrul advanced division arrived Friday night and fired a few shots at the lower battery. The Grenada Appeal of the 19th, Bays that Holly Springs was occupied by a considerable force of the enemy, night before List. They made their appearance suddenly and much con fusion ensued. The Provost Marshal is among the prisoners captured. A train was about ready to leave for the South, upon which many cit iicns attempted to take refuge, for the purpose ot escaping. The crowd was fired on and Lieut. Hall and some others killed. No .public stores remained at Holly Springs. Chicago, June 23.

Lamar was wounded. Capts. Reed, King and St. Edwards, were killed. The attack will soon be renewed. The confederates are much ex hausted by the previous shelling of the enemy day and night. 88 counties gives 21,000 minority against the new Constitution. 17 counties yet to hearfrom. The three negro propositions are adopted.— Bank clause in doubt. WasmttoTox, June 23. There were in all, 315 amendments to the In ternal Revenue or Tax bill. The House having through its Committee of Conference, receded from 253, and the Senate through its managers front sixteen of them, the remainder became a subject of compromise, as embodied in the joint report, which was immediately adopted in the House, while in the Semite the following named members voted against it :—Messrs.

SirAn exchange informs Its readers that “the proof of the pudding is in chewing the lag.” The bag may answer to chew when it contains nothing more palatable; but we do not propose to reduce the readers of the 1'kess to such a necessity. “y~The Boston Poet, In an article referring to New Orleans, says: •'Our soldiers wW fight down the bayonets, but our merchants must restore the Union.” This, says the Cwnmer cial Bulletin, is the point, and in this natshell lies all the argument of restoration. “We would not prosecute the war to mile jugate the rebel States, but rather to restore them to the Union,” say some of our Demo cratic friends. “I will not kill thee, nor harm thee,” said the Quaker to the vicious dog, “hut I will hold tlier- under water until the breath leaves thy hoday!” The Oxford Demorrat asks if any one can name a remedy, or a means to destroy the (lies and grubs that are so abuudani this sea son. An effectual mode of destroying these pests is to take a kettle of common tar, boil it over a coal fire, set it near the infected fruit trees or dowering shrubs, and then—catch the flic* and Immerse them in the content*.
