REPUBLICAN NOMINATION. FOB GOVERNOR, ABNER COBURN, OF SKOWHfXiAN.

Exciting and Spicy Speeches. Our loyal Democratic friends in ther Conven tion at Bangor, seem to have hiid re-kindled the old fires that burned so fiercely at Win throp Hall last August, when, prohalily for the first time in Maine, Union sentiments were hissed by professing Democrats, and the Stars and Stripes were sneered at and derided. We were a witness of the irrepressible eon flirt" on that occasion, and saw in advance the “impending crisisand not only saw it im pending,” but rejoicingly welcomed that pec u liar stage of ]a>litieal gangrene, when—revers ing the ordinary law of disease and recupera tion,—the live and sound flesh sloughed of! from the corrupt ami mortifying body, and commenced a new organization upon a loyal and patriotic basis. It would seem from the speeches made at Bangor, that a portion of the Convention were in Ikvor of reunion with the old, abandoned, effete body, while the majority, remembering the cause of their separation, resisted all such tendencies, and renewed their oath to make tlie separation a finality. The following rich report wc clip from the Bangor Whig: John A. Peters, Esorter of a traitor. 1 went to Portland la-t year to meet the State Committee, to consult relative to a call for a convention, and I met John W. Dana with that committee, and what did he advise Why, sir, that the democratic party of Maine adopt the policy of peace, and that the Union army be withdrawn from beyond the Potomac, and that the government cease coercive measures and appoint commissioners to reconstruct the Union. It was after our flag had been desecrated at Sumter, and they cen sured the President for sending supplies to the fort. I found leading democrats there counsel ing this, undone mail from Louisiana, who was acting on the State Committee, and this man was called upon to give his opinion as to whether Maine could get admission into Jeff. Davis’s Confederacy, in case of reconstruction, and he thought she could, but only on terms that she should have no voice in it 1 listened to them all, and then I denounced them. I told them that Jett Davis was n traitor; that my Imslness hereafter should be to do all I could to have him hung, and his supporters; they might announce their peace policy and their address, and 1 would meet them through out the Slate. 1 told them that I thought, in stead of being in Portland. I was in Alabama, in the capital of Jeff. Davis's Confederacy, and that I was ashamed of them, and blushed for my race. The next I beard of them was in Augusta After calling their Peace Conven tion. they had stolen into ours and got control of it; and what did they do? It came my turn to speak about six o’clock in the evening. They said 1 shouldn’t speak, and then I should only have live minutes, and 1 told them 1 would speak and free my mind, and I did. I told them 1 had as lief tight trea son in Maine as elsewhere. They voted down u resolution to supisjrt the Government in sustaining the Constitution aud the laws, and then we separated and nominated Gen. Jame son because he represented the idea we were rontclldimr for. Mr Kilntisli wru u-ith mi., then, he left them—lie knew they were trait ors. If these men have repented, God forgive them; but X want more evidence of it than I have seen. 1 waut John W. liana, Hose Mc Donald, John Babson, and Kennedy of Lin coln, and the others, to give me their written pledge that they repentln sackcloth and ashes, lxsfore 1 will act with them. 1 never go to bed with a man that's got the itch, amt when it’s all about, I don’t go to bed w ith a man till I know he hasn’t got the itch. (Laughter.) I vote for no man that Mose McDonald and the traitorous crew will vote for; do you under stand that'! said the speaker. Besides, who supposes we are going to elect, with all their traitorous aid. We shall lack many thousands, and how many loyal men will desert you when you introduce such men into the camp. Gen tlemen. 1 know there was a concerted move ment in the New England States, hist year, to aid Jeff Davis, and some concerned lit it got their money for it too. I have nothing against these men but their political position. And how is it In Waldo County? We have one ol them there who has done all he could against enlisting men for our army, and who deserves a place tu Fqyt Lafiiyette more tlniu Bob El liot ever did. Mr. Jewett spoke with great power and elo quence, and closed amidst much applause. Important Sanitary Mission. Mrs. Goddard, late matron of Hospital, 10th Maine, now by special order transferred tc General Hospital at Harper’s Ferry, Is stopping a few days at the Elm IXouse. She is seeking for common supplies for the benefit of thf hospital at the Ferry, where one hundred ant twenty men arc now being eared for. Cireurn stances indicate a large increase of patients and Surgeon Dawson, the medical director authorizes her to apply for aid in this emer genry. As the 10th Maine are in the advance it is impossible for the regiment to maintain at independent hospital, as heretofore, so that tin probability is, the men will be scut back to tin hospital at Harper’s Ferry, in case an engage ment or epidemic renders hospital care neces sary. Mrs. Goddard has visited every hospital a Winchester. Mnrtinsburg. Frederick and Bal tirnore, and has made a list of the sick, woundoi and missing of the 10th Maine, since the battl of Winchester; and in order to present mat tcrs as fully as possible to home friends, sh purposes giving a public lecture, Monday rri niug next, in the New City Hall, which ha l»een engaged for the occasion. She lias some “trophies”—but they are small account, compared with the incidents sh is prepared to give concerning the conduct our troops in the memorable retreat from Win Chester. Due notice will be given of the lec tore, and meanwhile, let our lady readers 1 looking up a bountiful supply of bandages, eu Mrs. Goddard left Front lioyti! on Saturday June 21st, and came hv the way of Ualtimon where «he visited the hospitals, containin nearly or quite 1800 »ick or otherwise disabled soldiers, in order that she might seek out aud ascertain the wants of any belonging to' the Maine regiments. She lias a variety of inci dents of camp and hoipital life—some |>eculiar ly thrilling and tender, some heart-rending from their unpleasant features—which we hope she may tiud time to furnish for the columns of the Press. The Close of Conference Week, There are some men (would there were more) with whom the passing years seem to bear all their freight of kindly and mellowing influences, and whose hearts grow larger and warmer as the snow wreaths cluster around their brows. Such a man is Dr. Chickering, of the High Street Church. It was our fortune to make one of a party which, under his auspices, visited Peaks Island yesterday morning. The object of the excur sion was two-fold—to show some, of the strang ers in our city some of the glorious scenery of our l*ay, and out of the funds of the trip, to aid in buying a house for a needy missionary in a destitute part of he State. At 9 o’clock the snug little steamer Favorite, engaged for the occasion, left her wharf with a goodly company. The morning was delight ful, and the gladness of earth and sea and sky was reflected from the faces of all on board.— In due time we were safely landed on the island, and under the lead of Dr. C., proceeded to the other side, where we had a full view of White Head, and the ocean beyond. Here halting for a few moments under the shade of some oaks, we listened to Peter Pauj Oseuskhirliine, an Indian of the Saint Francis tribe. He spoke of the time when his fathers held undisputed sway over all around us, and of the arrh ing of the white man from beyond the great water that spread out before him.— Though his race had faded liefore the white man's face, they had heard of the white man's God. and rejoiced that they came. He closed by reading a poetical version of the 4 th Com mandment in the language of his own nation, and singing it to the tune of Dukestrect Rev. William Clark of X. II., the teacher of Mr. O., gave a brief account of his studies, of his aptness and eagerness to learn. He desired to be excused from writing his theme when in school, because he had no “high thoughts.” If all our authors would defer writing until “high thoughts’’ came, our literature would he the better for it. Rev. Archibald Duff of Sherbroke, Canada, said that as his father was the second proprie tor of the soil he should come next to Mr. Osunkhirhine. He alluded pleasantly and briefly to onr sitting up for ourselves as a na tion, and thought, that Canada ndght. get oil likewise. He alluded ironically to the trouble and expease they had caused the mother coun try, and thought with the Ismdon Times tliat t here was danger of their being compelled to shift for themselves! He assured the com pany that the late defeat of the Militia Rill,had given the utmost satisfaction through Canada, and closed by expressing his warm friendship for his Yankee brethren. After uniting under the lead of E. F. Duran, Esq., of Bangor, in singing the beautiful and appropriate hymn “The Shining Shore,” while the ocean swelled the sound with the. voice of its “many waters,” a brief and feeling prayer was offered by Rev. E. P. Hammond. A vote of thanks was tendered to Dr. Ckickcring, by the unanimous voice of all present, and the company was about to disperse for the shore when llev. Stephen Thurston of Scarsport, called attention to the “shocking bad hat” of Mr. Osunkhirhine. The want was apparent, and change enough was soon put into the hands or Ezra Carter, Esq., to furnish hire a Couple of those useful devices of civilization, After spending three quarters of an hour in the enjoyments peculiar to an islaud trip, the party found its way back to the landing place, where a generous supply of lemonade,at some body’s expense, was disposed of with manifest satisfaction. It now became evident that the Captain of thc-Favorite intended to return to the city, and as Dr. C. had during the Confer ence expressed grave doubts on the subject of miraculous “loaves and fishes,” it was thought expedient to get on board. Our way home was charmed by fitting religious and patriotic songs, and the affair closed to the complete satisfaction of everybody. It is almost needless ts say anything to those who know I)r. C. of the wav in which he con ducted this closing pleasure of the Conference week. He was seemingly ubiquitous, always saying and doing just the rightthingat just the right time, and keeping everybody de'b'hted by his overflowing witaml good nature. When he heads another islaud party may wre “be there to see. Tlie financial result of the trip was fifteen dollars, making the sum iu the bunds of the Committee forty dollars. Any one williug to aid a deserving man will confer a favor by handing his gift, to Dr. Chickering. Cupid Conquering a Female Secessionist. A letter received in this vicinity from one of tiie officers of the tilth Maine Regi ment, now at New Orleans, gives tlic follow ing statement, which shows that some of the females of New Orleans are not so bitter as to shut their hearts against northern intrusion. A young lady, handsome, and belonging to the upper ten of the Crescent City, while riding in the cars met one of our down east officers, who lias the reputation at home among our Maine ladies of being a handsome fel low,” and from hatred of the Yankees, she par adoxically jumped to it* opposite, to wit., love at first sight.” After reaching her home, tlie young lady made numerous efforts to dis cover the name and rank of the handsome Yan kee officer, but was for many days unsuccess ful. But love as of old, found food in its disap pointment, and she really became sick over her unavailing search. Her father here took the matter up, and finally went to the military commandant for aid in tlie affair. He sent a member of his staff to see if he could render any aid, and from the description tlie lady gave, and a sketch that she had made of him, the of ficer of tlie staff came to the conclusion that it was a lieutenant of a Mnine liaftcry, son of a distinguished cltisen of our State, who resides away down east;” who happened to lie taken sick and sent to the hospital immediately after the lady met him iu the cars. She insisted on visiting him at tlie hospital “just to ascertain tlie fact of his identity.” The surgeon consent ed, provided she made no overt demonstra tions” on the occasion. She went, saw the down ea Hn nnt doubt, he would make a most worthy member of the fraternity. We hear of no complaint in regard to the plans and arrangements of the Conimittthup on whom devolved so much labor and respon sibility, or in reference to the accommodations furnished by the various means of conveyance to and from the city, except in regard to the Tork and Cumberland Railroad. Whilst other roads, not only carried for one half thefusual fare, but ran extra trains, no ar rangements could be made with this road. A large proportion of the Masons on the line of the road went in with their teams rather than submit to such treatment. The only reason given, for not making the arrangement which other roads had made, was, ‘•that as many passengers would pass over the road as could lie accommodated, at full fare.” This may be valid and sound reasoning, hut we questioning it, in some of its bearings. Our village and town was visited early on Monday morning last by the “Portland Daily Press.” the appearance of which was very grat ifying to our citizens. The Col. was up to the “chalk,” in exhibiting the new paper to our people generally. The powerful rain that has visited us recent ly, has had a tendency, to cheer up our good fanners, and consequently we all feel more cheerful and happy. Capt. Wentwortli is raising the third com pany that has been raised in Gorham for the war. lie now has some. 50 men enlisted, 40 of whom are already in camp at Augusta. Gor ham is full of patriotism, which developes it self not only in the furnishing of troops, but in tlie promptness and liberality with which she responds to the calls made for supplies for our army. Although our citizens have often con tributed hospital stores and money for t his pur pose. yet she comes forw ard with a liberal hand to answer the call recently made by the Sani tary Commission through Mr. Hadley, having already collected some seventy-five dollars. We hope to enjoy the privilege at an early day. Messrs. Editors, of escorting you around our beautiful village and tow n w hich will speak for themselves. “Harmony Loduk.” ^g' The Bangor Times styles the Pacific Railroad—t ile hill for the construction of w hich has become a law—the “Colossas of Roads.” It will lie. when completed, one of the grand r est achievements of the age.

The eastern sky was last changing its dusky grey for a mellow crimson tinge the wimls of Sarcarrappa came with their health ful intluence to the lungs of the kitchen girl as she swept the steps—the infernal orgies of male grimalkins had ceased—when the still slumbering Melissa, still sleeping u|ion her Iwiek, still sleeping with her mouth wide open, felt only in her dream as in company with her adored Alonzo of the previous evening, who seemed to her as saying Say, say wilt thou IA, 1IIIIU, Mil'll OUUUVIIIJ Ul'l III UUII >11 IMIS3 was interrupted by the unmusical voice of that old darkey fishmonger, Here’s your fresh alewives smelts fresh smells!” The Christian Banner, a religious paper published in Fredericksburg, Va., thus dis courses: “Let the war result as it may, Afri can slavery in Virginia has already been swept from her territory.* If the war should continue a twelve-month longer there will be scarcely a slave in Virginia.” —P. T. Barnum has very properly been styled the Prince of Showmen. There seems no end either to his ingeimity or his resources in catering for the public curiosity. A very few years since he went by the board, financially, as the result of too freely signing his name for the. accommodation of oilier men, but he seems to have regained his former ]>osition and to be fast rising in affluence. He lias recently pur chased the Aquarial Gardens, in Boston, and lias added to all its former attractions some of the principal features of bis great Museum at New York. If Banium can’t make even a poor show attractive nobody can, and where there is real merit in the exhibition he makes it doubly interesting. Fuom thk Fifth Rehimext.—We have beeu permitted to see a letter from one of the officers of the Fifth Regiment, dated June 13, from which we take the following extract: “Our regiment crossed the Chickahominy yesterday, and we are now in the van.
