Capture of the Rebel Steamer Gordon. We have boen kindly furnished with a copy of a private lettar from Capt. J. B. Warken, Acting Muster Commanding of the U. S. Steamer Victoria, address to a distinguished gentleman of this city, given particulars of the capture of the Confederate steamer Gordon, in the perusal of which we dare say the readers of the Press will find as much satisfaction as we have. We publish below. Off Wilmington Bar, X. C., I U. S. S. “Victoria," May 28. ISO* f Mt Dear Sib At 8 A. M. weighed anchor, to stand off to sea, and whilst in the act of do ing so, the fog lifted, (for it was very foggy) and we saw a steamer close in under the land, steering directly for Port Caswell, under a full full head of steam. I immediately started ahead for the purpose of cutting her off, hold ing her under my guns, for she was not more than a mile off. when first discovered. The U. S. Steamer “State of Georgia” saw her about the same time, and immediately fired at her, of which the chase took no notice. I then gave orders to Are on her, with her with our 30 pounder rifled gun forward. The shell passed over her amidships, but she still kept on her course. We then fired again at her. The shell this time, fell right under her bows. She still kept on without regarding our firing. Our next shot was a good line shot but passed over her. The State of Georgia all this time was sending shot and shell thick and fast around her. Our fourth shot struck the water and ri cocheted over her decks. She immediately hauled down her flag and /tore to (or stopped her engine.) At that moment I discovered a boat filled with men pulling from the steamer to the shore. I immediately gave orders to Are upon the boat. Our first shell passed over aud burst in the woods, but the fourth shot struck the boat, falling directly in the midst of the crew, who had just landed. The people on board the steamer told us afterwards that one man was killed and one wounded and that the rest fled into the woods in every direction. The boats were immediately sent and took possession of the steamer, which proved to be the confederate steamer Gordon,” which has so often and so successfully run the blockade; she has however recently changed her name to Nassau of N. P.” She was loaded with Enfield Itifles, ammunition, clothing, Ac., for the Confederate army. She had on board a large number of persons, although several had escaped by the boat*. There still remained on board thirty, including two ladies. One of them was a young woman, the daughter of 1 John M. Maflltt, formerly a Lieutenant in the 1 United States Navy, recently of the Confede- j rate Mosquito fleet, and the other was a widow Knox, probably in pursuit of a husband. Mr. Law of Savannah, formerly of the firm of Claphorn Co. of S., was also a passenger, i and claimed to be an Englishman. Also there was a Mr. Waters, a very important individual, who appeared to have the control of the cargo and the few remainiug paper* on board. The steamer was taken off to a safe anchor age and coaled from the State of Georga sufficient to take her to New York. Lieuten ant Ilaxton and an Assistant Engineer, with ten men from the State of Georgia,-’ also two Master Mates, an Assistant Engineer and nine inen from U. S. steamer Victor” was sent on board as a prize crew, and at 3 1-2 o'clock on the morning of the 21H.li, they weighed anchor and started for New York. The “Nassau” was commanded by Capt, Walker, the celebrated slaver, who has passed under the names of “Capt. Williams,-’ “Capt. Hope,” and several other aliases. No one was hurt on board the steamer, and the loss of life of those who attempted to escape in the boat, though much to be deplored,w'as only occasion ed by a conscientious discharge of what I felt to be my duty. It was only owing to a fortu nate raising of the fog just at the time it did, that we succeeded in capturing the steamer. Had the fog lasted twenty or thirty minutes longer, she would have passed under the guns of Port Caswell and have escaped us. As it was 1 had chased her into about 19 or 20 feet of water, and my l>oat drew 11 feet. This Capt. Walker is one of their chief villians,and recently arrived at Nassau Irom Liverpool, with a large cargo for the rebels, of which this is supposed to lie a part. He left his own steamer (the Fanny Lewis) at Nassau to take this one into Wilmington, and then return for the balance. It was a lucky “grab" when we took this Goliath of ltclicldom. If he docs not succeed in retaking the steamer, which I j have no doubt he will attempt to do, the reliels have lost one of their chief Detils, i. e. one of their chief Sea Detils. The former Captain who took her out, J. M. Maflit, liad’nt the pluck to take her hack, but sent his daughter to claim the courtesy of the Navy, if taken, and thereby save herself from Imprisonment, and with her the widow Knox, who showed a deal of the white horse style of language and manners. She told us she was born a lady, and we told her it was all right. We sent them all North to spend the summer, that being our style of showing Naval courtesy. [From our Regular Correspondent.] letter from Kkowhegan. Daily Press—lion. Aimer Cohnrn—Sixteenth Regiment Col. Wildes Farmer's pr as pects—Carious Changes—Old residents, «fcc. SkoWHJCOAN, June 26, 1862. Messrs. EnrroRs:—The first number of the Daily Press arrived duly, and presents an at tractive appearance for the present, and a grat ifying promise for the future. Its style, tone and temper warrant the most flattering predic tions for tlie career which is liefore it Long may it wave 1 In an issue of yours the other day, I noticed an article referring to the liepublican nominee for Governor, Hon. Abner Cobum. What the writer says of Mr. Coburn, of his high charac ter and eminent fitness to discharge the duties of the office in which his friends desire to place him, is but the simple truth, and of this none can testify more readily than his townsmen.— If you want to know what a man is like, go and inquire how he stamls among the neigh bors with whom he lias passed his life. Tin fact that among this class the nomination of Mr. Coburn meets witli cordial approval, speaks volumes in his favor. They have tried him, for years, and they know that they can rely upon him. From his birth he has been a resident of this vicinity, and no public or pri vate act of his has ever called forth a censure from his townsmen. Few men can show, in all the relations of life, a record so unspotted and consistent. He is a high-minded, public spirited, judicious, humane and liberal man, and worthy the confidence and support of the party which he represents iu his nomination.— He is not a talking man, having always pre ferred trork to teords, and he is without pre tension or display; but sprung from the peo ple, lie is emphatically the people’s choice.— They have great confidence in his administra tive and'financial ability; and they feel the assurance that their interests, if intrusted to him, will be confided to faithful and judicial hands. A company for the 16th regiment, Col. A. W. Wildes, is in process of formation here. In this busy season, when most of-the young men are employed for the summer, recruiting is ne^-ssarily a slow process; but the ranks are filling w fiwt, perhaps, as could be expected. Col. ildes is a sident of this town, and has many friends among us. Skowhegan has con tributed her fu.l share of brave Isiys to fight the battles of the Union. With the gallant 7th and 3d 1 adore Richmond, with the ilth in Florida, with the 15th on the steaming shores of the Golf, and elsewhere, she is largely and nobly represented. Some have fallen. From time to time, grim war gives bark to some hushed household the pale shrouded form that went forth in the pride of manly strength. But they died nobly, in a noble cause. Their country will not “forget the faithful dead.” It is raining hard_ here today, and the farm ers “act as if they had received some very good news.” In fact, matters had began to look rather des|>erate w'ith them. So severe and long-continued had lieen the drought that serious fears were entertained for the result. In many instances there were extensive fields which seemed likely to prove a total loss. The grateful moisture comes almost too late materi ally to affect the hay-crop, which must be light, but other things are looking finely. A curious instance of the changes In names and boundaries which may be witnessed in a growing country like this, has just come to notice here. The pretty cottage on Klin street, long the residence of Samuel Philbrick, Esq., has been torn down recently to give place to a more modern edifice. In connection with the old house thus demolished. Mr. Philbrick states the remarkable fact that be has lived in two Slates, in two countiesrand in four towns, and ail the time under this identical roof. Such are the changes time brings. Mr. Philbrick is one of our oldest and most honored citizeidf, having been a resident here before the admis sion of Maine into the Union, and lias seen the progress of the place from its small and feeble beginning to the present time. Some few oth ers of the old and honored residents, the busi ness fathers of the community, yet remain in our midst. Conspicuous among these, I can not refrain from mentioning Elion II. Neil, Esq., who has been for many years an active i and prominent man among ns, during which time he has Justly acquired that reputation for thorough reliability, which is a business man’s best capital here, and the best legacy he can I may possibly find from time to time, some further items of interest. If so, 1 may jot them down. Epsilon. K. J. D. LARRABEE A Manufacturer*, Importer*, and Wholesale and Re tail Dealer* in Picture Frames, Engravings, ARTISTS’ MATERIALS, Ac.

The Portland 1 ail V Press is intended to be sn enterprising, vigor*** sod live Daily Morning Paper, containing the UiXefit and fullest news by mail and telegraph. THE MAINS STATE PRESS Is a large, wcll-flllct tally edited, and neatly printed weekly paper led specially for jrnoral circulation throughout4ite State. Both of the above Mamed papers will labor to inculcate, in no dictatorial spirit, sound political prin ciples and to promote the material interests of the State, and of the City of Portland as it$ interests twine with, and are inseparable from, those of the State. Politically, the Press will give an earnest, cordial, and generous support to the administration of Abra ham Lixcols, who Jm^tle more than one year, has indellibly impressed hMnamelf upon the nation's heart as an incorruptible patriot, an inflexible Chief Mag istrate, and an honest man; the ability of whose ad ministration is most stjhmlly exhibited, not [ouly in the matchless npcratioMMef our army and navy, but in tbc unparalleled that, iu the midst of this gigantic rebellion,’ on Government securities are selling at a premium. It will zealously labor to ex hibit and defend souwHfpnblican principle*, and, inasmuch as political qganizatiou* have become a necessity iu carrying yeffect great principles of political economy, ami inasmuch as ,the Republican party which, in the brigf chapter of it* history already written, has successftilll refuted the allegation of its enemies that Its desigm and tendencies were sec tional, and triumphaq£jr .vindicated its claim to a just and libera) XatinMllity, has remained steadfast in its devotion to the C don while other organizations have so generally bcojfne Infected with a dMoya! spirit, and inasmuch 4l ii the only party which at present seems competeffMo conserve the great prin ciples underlying all llec Governments, the Press will cordially sustain tMe organization of that party not with a design to fetter a mere partizan spirit, but in the full conicinu*4b that it embodies the true principles upon wiiichipnr government rests, and af fords the only available means of accomplishing such results as a lofty patriotism imperatively demands. It will neither seek met endorse any compromises with men in rebellion kaiust the laws of the land, but will inculcate loyaljf to the great central idea of all true democracy—ttrit the majority must govern. Upon the exciting qifMtiou of Domestic Hi# very, it may be proper to say, fiat while the Pmxfcs dUBsanc tion no interference wm the constttntional m legal right, of loyal men. i*>'> ocHhar ^apologize tor an evil which cou.titutc* the foulcM blot a poo our national character. no| attempt to resist the tide of events that seems d'-stjied to sweep from existence an institution which ijffee greatest anomaly in a free government. The esrfpfcicipation of slavery in the federal Capital, the cooperation of the Federal with the loyal State governments, to secure gradual eman cipation, as proposed ly President Lincoln, and all other constitutional mfiteures looking to a peaceful removal of our greatest "moral, political and social evil," will find in theffcEss a generous and hearty support. While thus distinctly announcing the general course proposed for the Press, and intruding that, alike in war and in peace— in oar country's peril and in **s triumph, it shall speak with no uncertain voice, do not lose sight of the* fact that true incn ha** hon estly differed, and that, coming by different routes they now find themselvefc travelling parallel roads; and, instead of seeking Id widen the differences be tween those who are required by a common patriot ism to act in concert, the Press will labor hopefully to eucourage unity of purpose and harmony of act ion among all loyal men. Aside from its political department, the Press will be earnestly devoted to the advancement of the best interests of the city and State. Its Local Depart ment will in no case be neglected. Particular atten tion will be given to the Commercial and Maritime interests. It will be the aim of its conductors to make it an indispensable institution of the State, and a ge nial and welcome visitor in every work-shop, count ing-house, and family circle. The Kditors. not un known to the people of Maine, will give their undivi ded energies t« the work before them, and labor to make such a paper as the city of Portland, the State of 3Iaine, and the exigencies of the times demand one that shall be true to the popular instincts. Thh Portland Daily Press is printed with en tirely new type, on a sheet as large as that of any daily in 3Iaino, and issued every morning, (Sun days excepted,) at $5 per annum. Subscriptions for less than stx months, 60 cents per month. The 31aixe State Press, large, neatly printed, and well filled with the news of the week, and orig inal and selected Political.

THE FORTY-FIRST VOLUME OK THIS PAPER Will Commence July 29. All perrons who now subscribe to the Mirror by P*.v*n* 92 shall hawe a receipt to the close of Volume XLI—ending July 29,1863—being almost a year and one quarter. We are happy to announce Rev. Messrs. Rond, Shepard, Harris and Smith, Professors in Bangor Theological Seminary, as stated contributors to the columns of this paper. This paper is devoted to the diffusion of moral, re ligious. educational, and such other intelligence as pertains to the welfare of society. Its foreign and domestic news is made up to the hour (Monday noon) of going to press, and is suffi ciently general to meet the wants of those who take no other patter. The fourth page is spprongated to the most inter esting Literary. Scientific, ISd Commercial miscella ny that can be gathered. It has a department expressly for Children. It is intended to tie a safe family newspaper; with nothing to offend the most fastidious—neither cherishing a morbid appetite, nor catering to a perverted taste. We do not claim for it that it is the oldest, the lar gest, the netrest, even the paper in the world: or that the Church and State would fall without it. V\ e claim for the Mirror that it is a ('hristian paper. It aims to be a true reflector of Bible principle and practicof and in the correction of moral evils and the renovation of Society, to hold forth the true remedy. It can be said of our paper that while its correspond ence is not meagre, its epitome of news and compact items of interest is inferior to that of no other paper, and its abstract of valuable article# in American and Foreign guartcrlies has supplied a place not filled by auy other re ligious print. If any want a pajn-r that can safely be a companion on the .Sabbath, that gives an unprejudiced view of public affairs, that aids to be a transcript of the age without identifying itself with its error#, that ohroui cles to ininuteuem religious and revival news, that holds firmly the doctrine# and practice of a protea taut Christianity and can In* safely put into the hand# of the young, we ask them te take the Christian Mirror. This being pre-eminently a Family Journal is one of the best chauncls for advertisements relating to Books, Sale#, Legal Notices, and all article# of geueral con sumption. eekly paper# generator, and especially religious ones, are less likely to be destroyed than those more secular—they are read tnortfln families than Dailies— they are taken home and preserved, to be examined at leisure—their contents an* more thoroughlv scan ned—and they are often sent to absent friends to con vey to those abroad, some idea of the state of affair# at home. I’ortlana, May, 1862. TESTIMONIALS. We subjoin some extracts from letter# recently pub lished in our columns. From Professor# in Bowdoin College. Other papers, published out of the limit# of the State, are useful; but they cannot be expcct«*d to take the place and to fulfill all the object# ol a |taper pub lished among ourselves. The Mirror is well known to our religious people, and has been conducted by Mr. Lord, its present editor, with earnest i hristian fidelity, with a high degree of ability, and at the same time in such a manner as to bring to'light and to chcr 1 ish those local religious sympathies amfinterest*, which can be reached only by a paper published iu the State. From Rev. Dr. Chickering. All necessity for two papers having ceased, we ought to have one taken iu all our churches, a# giKtd as you and a hundn^i contributors.cau make it. The most patriotic and liberty-loving among us cannot complain of its tone in these stirring times; and 1 sometimes almost wish I were compelled to relv upon your weekly Mimmary instead of reading so many ex citing details in the daily papers. You tell us what we really mid to know; and a great many things that we ought to do. From Rev. Dr. Carruther*. It contains a weekly summary of event* written in a lively style—criticisms, literary and moral, of great practical value—and such matter* of general and de nominational interest as serve to keep it* readers well ‘posted up.' If ministers and others, at different point* in our large State, would be a little more com municative of local fact*, they would greatlv increase its intrinsic worth, and proportionally eularge its cir culation. (From Rev. Dr. Tappan.] In common w ith many others, I have earnestly de sired that we might have in Maine, under the attspfeea of our denomination, tut one religions newspaper, and I canuot but hope, that the Mirror, which I have taken from the beginning, and on many accounts have highly valued, may again secure general support, and prove In its future course to he a paper in which i we can all unite. In most of the views expressed in relation to this subject, bv Professor Pond, in the I Mirror of this week, I Billy concur. Your own of fer “to send it without charge to any who inav be de sirous of receiving it, till the meeting of the June (State] Conference in Portland.” is fair and liberal.— You will permit me however to inquire whether it might not Im* well toseud one number at least to every Congregational minister in the State, who is not now u subscriber, w ithout w ailing for an application, dps*, otherwise many may not know' that such a proposal has beeu made.' From Professors in Bangor Theological Seminary. From Rav. Dr. Pond. We obviously need one good religious paper in Maine; and one (if it cau be made satisfactory,) is enough. We need it, not only as a vhehidc of Intel ligence and thought, but lor the publication of no tic**, and the accomplishment of various local objects which can be reacln-d in ua other way. 1 have been v subscriber’for the Mirror and a constant reader of it for almost thirty years;— aud though 1 have seen things iu it occasionally which 1 did not like, (as I do in most other paper*.) still all candid readers must acknowledge that the Mirror has lx*en, from the first, the steadfast advo cate of tiospel order and truth, and *au important auxiliary in the great work of eulightening aud evau geli/mg Maine. I will also say that I think the 31 ir rou ha* never beeu more ably and faithfully conduct «*d than during the last few years. The present editor devote* time, and thought, and labor to it. and suc ceed* iu making it (what he has shown hiuiseif abundantly able to do) au interesting weekly viaitaut I to our families and homes. It should be further considered, that some of the exciting quc*tiou* which once threatened to divide us, are changing their forms and losing their interest. They may give place to others, for aught we know, or may themselves come up again; but at present wo see’m to have got be>oud them. The 3Iiukor is an unflinching supporter of the government of the l-mted Slate* in its contest w ith the slavery rebellion, it hAka sincere friend to the colored race, amt is read^B unite iu all well considered efforts for their liberation and advancement—though 1 am far from advising any one as to what, or how many religious papers he shall take, yet 1 will venture to propose that we make trial of the Mirror. As we ought to have and must haw one religious paper in the State, let us take hold of this together; subscribe for it, write for it, and endeavor to make it such a* our rhuiche* require.

It would be difficult for me to express too strongly how desirable on every account, it s«*ein* to me to Ixj that the MlRBQS ikoild be WuU l—tlhul Nowhere is the influence of a p«MMt religious newspaper more important than it is in Maiue.

Dear Sir:—Permit us to express our de sire that the Mirror may receive the confidence and support of the member* of ourchurclies and Congre gation* in Maim*. It is conducted with painstaking and ability. It is a judicious and earnest supporter of the doctrines and polity of our churches, of their missionary enterprise* and their spiritual interests.— Its religious articles for family reading are cltoice. Its summary of news, though necessarily condensed, is comprehensive and well-digested. The occasions for difference respecting the application of Christian truth to civil aud social affair* arc pacing a wav, aud Christian people are rapidly approaching unanimity; candor, forbearance and patience, with the grace and providence of God, w ill enable them to obtain it.— Under these circumstances we hope that those who take a religious pajM-r will make a trial of the Mir ror; and wo expect—we think with good reason— that they will be satisfied with it.

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

Considerations for Honest Democrats. It has long been the lioast of Democratic leaders that their party, for one-half of a century, has had control of the Government, held the reins of power, and that nearly all of our material prosperity, with the growth of the Union, have been secured under the dom inance of the policy heretofore denominated the Democratic policy. It is not our purpose at this time either to endorse or ignore this claim. We are not ignorant of the history of the par. j ty referred to, nor are we unmindful of the galaxy of great names scattered along the path way of that history. For Democracy per uc— Democracy as understood and exemplified by Jefferson and Madison—we entertain the most profound respect, and when mrh a Democra cy is understood we plead second to no one in the justice of our claims to be recognized as a Democrat. But for that form of Democracy which to-day is recognized by party leaders;— I that kind of Democracy set forth, vindicated and contended for in the recent address of C. L. Yallandigham and others—thirteen mem bers of the present Congress—and upon wliicli it has been proposed to re-erect and re-estab lish a National Democratic party, we have no more respect than we have for the teachings of Jo. Smith, the insane follies of the Five Lover. or the idiosyncroeies of Abby Folsom. Our present purpose Is to appeal to the can- j did spirit of old political associates, and ask them to consider for one momeut if. under the pleasing and specious name of Democracy, j they are not liable to deception, and are not really worshipping a mere phantom—the mere “ghost of Democracy,” to use the precise term receutly applied by one of those to whom we would appeal—while the essential essence, soul .j and spirit ofDemocracy, aud all there is of it worth remembering or preserving, have de parted from their organization, and are really identified with and represented by an organiza tion which they are opposing? What was the Democracy of Jefferson, and wherein con sisted its (lower to touch and move the popu lar heart It was, briefly summed up, the doc trine of equal rights—that all men, by virtue of their common creation, arc equal. Such a doctrine laid the axe at the very tap-root of all those old governmental policies which spring from a recognition of the “divine right of kings,” and awakened the opposition of all who doubted the ability of the people to gov ern themselves, or who believed iu a frame work ol government made of hardened alrei, that would break before it would bend a hair's breadth to meet the Increasing wants of man, developed by the advance of the age In light and knowledge. The secret of the success of the Jeffersonian doctrine, is found in its adaptability to the com mon wants of the common people. It embraced the masses, and to it the same masses cheer fully gave their hearts and their hearts’ best offerings. But how is it to-day? Take that policy claimed to be democratic by those who worship abe name of Democracy and are striving to rekindle fires upon its altars; do the people respond to it? Where? In what State? At wbat election Is it not notoriously true that the people refuse both their votes and their sympathy for nominations coupled with mod ern expositions of Democracy Our experi ence and our observation both assure us that j such is the fact. The reason for this fact is apparent. Democracy, as at present defined— of course we refer to the definitions given through its organs and organizations—is not what it was in Jefferson's time. It has ceased to make equal rights its chief comer Btone, and has come to be the champion and defend er, or at least, the apologist and conservator of one of the worst forms of despotism that ever disgraced a civilized nation. Look at the so-called democratic platforms and resolutions of the day—the programme of Messrs. Valan digham, Richardson Co., to which allusion has already been made. What is the central idea, the inspiring spirit, the real soul, the es sential essence of them all Is it that human freedom must be defended; that civil and re- ligious liberty must be sacredly guarded; that the avenues through which oppression travels should be carefully dosed up; that Right is superior to Might; that fidelity to its moral convictions is the safest policy ior a nation ns well as for an individual: that truth, iustice aim nguieousuess arc as inseparable from na tional as from personal prosperity Are these tiie cardinal, unbending, immovable landmarks of Democracy, in the present form of its devel o;>emeut Do these enter into the" constella tion by whose light its course is shaped amid the clouds and darkness of the present hour? We ask honest Democrats, whose hearts have not become fossilized by party drill—especially I young men, who wish to start in a sale direc tion and from a defensible tjaml-poiut. to think of these things, and as the church lias it,“mark, 1 learn, and inwardly digest them.” We ask them, spurning all leadership, and using the intelligence with which they have been favored, to look facts in the face, and see how tiie Democracy of to-day, as it is propos ed to reconstruct and defend it, is a mere bob for the slavery kite. Look at its resolutions, i and wherein they differ from the resolutions of the Republican organizations, it will lie found that they differ mainly on the side, in tie direction, and jn favor of, slavery. Slavery must not be disturbed”—'“Slavery must be let j alone Slavery must not be abolished"— these are their sum and sulislance to a lamen table extent. Sup|iort the government, they aay, but don't touch slavery; put down the re bellion, but don’t touch slavery: restore tiie tTnlon, but don't jostle slavery; and so the don't-Uiucb-slavery is tacked on as a condi tion precedent of almost every proposition made by the class of democratic leaders to whom we refer, and who are to be tiie men of the party and R» rotitroliug men, if the party is galvanized into life. Tiie very necessity lor 1 its reconstruction is averred to be. in almost so many words, to save the I’nion without hurt ing slarrrgThis tendency and pur|tose are 1 shown in tne very slang phrases which they apply to Republicans and Republicanism; Repubiicaeisin is abolitionism r say they; Republicans are abolitionists,- and with the stale, senseless and meaningless charge of Abolitionism they hope to keep men from lis tenliig to the voice of their ow n consciences, and from being true to the voice of God speak lng within them. Wc have said enough to indicate not only why Jefferson's democracy was popular, ami carried the popular heart with it, but also why Democrrry. as at present represented, falls dead upon the public heart, and fails to awak eu a response from the people. Take from their organizations the charm of an old ami cherished name, and the Democratic party would be as dead as were the bones in Ezekiel's Valley of Vision, and there would be no more possibility of awakening it to life than there is ot breathing the breath of life into the silent tenants of the tomb. The cry of abolitionism—of black republi canism—we have said is stale. It is fast be coming a badge of honorable distinction for an honest man to lie taunted as an abolitionist by a modern democrat. It implies that he is true to his instincts; that he has not forgotten his brotherhood; that he is a man, with a man's heart. Let any man, with Jefferson, declare that in view of the Institution of slavery, he trembles for his country when be remembers that Uod is just,” and he will be denounced as an abolitionist—as a proper subject of demo cratic opposition. The Battle at James Island, The unfortunate affhir at James Island, near Charleston, on the lflth of June, is not calcu lated to raise the spirits of our peopl?, or to dampen those of the relsds. Our troops have prided themselves upon their superiority in a close, hand-to-hand conflict, and we fear that their confidence, in tliis regard, may be come somewhat impaired. As the Boston Traveller well remarks, when the evidence Is all in, and an official investigation is made, we shall he able to determine who is blamea ble In the matter. At present we have no evidence by which to judge whether any of (leer is to blame, or whether it is one of those casualties of the war not to be foreseen.” The following remarks of the Traveller are timely:— Whether blame attaches to any one or not, there is a lesson comes with this event, which our people will do well to heed. It shows the danger of precipitating men upon strongly en trenched lines of defence. In the first place our officers and moil, though brave enough for the deadly work, have not the experience necessary to conduct it successfully and with the least necessary loss of life, in the next place, with the most experienced and veteran troops, it inevitibly involve a terrible loss of life, which only the most imperious necessity of haste or importance in carry ing the works, can justify a commander in sacrificing.” Unquestionably, where no ini|>criniis ne cessity requires the immediate capture of bat teries by assault, they should first be pounded by artillery sufficiently to weaken or demolish them, before bringing unprotected flesh and blood under a murderous lire from strongly covered works.” “it took our impulsive and sanguine people some years to learn that railroads, factories and other public works need to be constructed with some regard to economy in the expendi ture of money, and it will profaally take them quite as long to learn that war which, in its best estate, is all exposure, privation, danger, suffering ami death, needs to be carried on with as economical an expenditure of life us circumstances will allow.” Such a continued series of v'etories has crowned the efforts of the Federal armies from the taking of forts Henry and Donelson un' l the battle of Fair Oaks, that we have learned to look for no reverses, and this fact is perhaps a sufficient explanation of the dispiriting ef fect of reverses which reasonable men should calculate upon and be prepared to meet. We need, perhaps, an occasional reverse to disci pline our military leaders, and check the ten dency to do acts of undue presumption and rashness. If the reverst at James Island shall have this effect, it will, like the terrible expe riences at Bull Bun, Ball's Bluff and Front Boyal, though expensive, prove to be a profita ble lesson. The New York Post has the following ac count of this disastrous affair, the facts deriv ed, we take It. from the disabled soldier* who have been returned to that city:— “The battle of the 16th inst.. began at four o'clock in the morning. The design of the of ficers was to approach the rebel works near Secessionvffle before daylight; but the delays incidental to an advance over ground where not perfectly understood, prevented the execu tion of the programme. General Benham assumed command, nnd our men, with the llighlauders and Eighth Michigan regiment in the advance, marched gallantly on the enemy’s wurks. This charge was so rapid that the rebels were unable to bring their guns Into full use until the Federal force was very near. They poured iti a de structive fire, including musketry, and remain ed inside their entrenchments. Thor* was lint little pause. The regiments we have named rushed up to the trenches and into and through them and directly to the breastworks, where a terrible struggle took place, in which the ene my were driven from their guns. A large numlier of our troops scaled tile parapets, the rebels retreating. There are conflicting statements regarding the battle at this point. The officers of the storming party declare they were not support ed—that Gen. Stevens failed to bring up his forces in time; and a halt, it appears, was or dered. It is believed by the troops who con stituted the advance, that they could have cleared the defence* if they had followed up the advantage while the rebels Were disorgan ized ahd expected to be pursued. The halt, however, enabled the enemy to collect their force*. They soon recommenced the fight, and a sanguinary liaud-to-liand conllict ensued, in which the vastly superior rebel force brought against the small number—variously stated at one and three hundred men—who had actual ly scaled the parapets, enabled the reliels to force them liack into the treuches. Here a terrible and destructive tight took place. The renew obtained position* whence they could pour on enfilading fire upon our tnups, and four litinilretl vicn of the Federal force were either killed or wounded More retreat could he successfully accomplished. The utmost bravery and heroism were dis played by our men throughout the disastrous struggle. They retreated in order, taking with them their wounded, w ith a few exceptions. The reltels did not IbUow. Keitel troops are constantly arriving, and their preparations for the defence of Charles ton, which would he ex]Kt»ed to bombardment il tile rebels were driven oil' James Island, are u|kiu a very extensive scale. There is, how ever, some difficulty itt obtainiug troops, from from the fact tint the reltel cause is nowhere considered safe enough to admit of detaching any part of their forces, and the authorities in Richmond are calling in all available troops for tlie defence of the capital." The following, gleaned from the Hilton Head cttreespondence of the New York Commercial Advertiser, give one some idea of the awful horrors of w ar, ami show w lmt fearful respon sibility rests upon the authors of this wicked and causeless rebellion: "Last night tint lien Deford brought down the w ounded from Janus* Islam), and oh, what a sight it was! Four hundred brave men strew n about, tilling deck, cabin, hold, and ev ery part of the ship, some miuus an arm, otli eis a leg, ami others with fearful ghastly wottmls of every description. Though every thing possible was dour for their comfort, atid every menu* tried for ventilation, the sinell was horrid, ami nothing hut a personal Interest ami a h«>|s' to relieve some poor fellow's distress could keep you a moment on board the vessel. Four men lying next to each other had each lost an arm—two the right, and two the left They were earnestly reciting their several ex perience* on the field, ami only regretting they could not catch some of tire traitors. Capt. Hitchcock, of the 7th Connecticut, is one of the victims. Hi* leg was shattered at lire hip, aud w hen told that it was useless to amputate it, that lie could not survive the op eration, he answered, "1 have a wife and five children; 1 cannot die and leave them desti tute. My constitution is strong, aud you must try it.” lie never rallied from the operation. The 8til Michigan ap|>ear to have been the greatest losers. This Is the third fight w here they have sufiered severely—once at Fort Roy al terry, again at Wilmington Island, and now on James Island. They sufiered much from sickness when they first arrived here, and from one thousand men they are now reduced to less than four hundred. From what I ran learn, the officers, other than Gen Uenliarn, who was in command, had no thought of the movement until Sunday night, when they were called to a council of war. The other generals all protested against it as hazardous In the extreme, lnvolviug a needless risk of life, and almost sure to end in disaster. I am also informed that lien. Hun ter had given ]>ositive orders, loth verbal and w ritten, that no advance should be made ex cept by his order; yet in the face of all this the attempt to storm the works was ordered. I hear that on the secoud attack thy batteries had ceased tiring for some minutes, that Gen. Williams had flanked them on their right, and that in a few minutes more the works would have been In our possession, when a retreat was ordered, during which we were worse slaughtered than at any time before. The future is of course in the dark, but all confidence is felt in the discretion of Gen. Hunter. The key of Charleston is in our hands, and it can be successfully used with such officers as Gens. Wright, Stevens and Williams. We can afford to wait our time. Even if our forces are now withdrawn for san itary reasons, what we have gained can be held by a gunboat or two, and when the time comes the slaughter of June lti will be remembered.'’ Alter the battle of James Island, General Stevens issued a general order to his Division, concluding as follows: “Our best and truest men now sleep the sleep that knows no waking. Their dead bodies lay on the enemy's parapet. Church. Pratt, Cot trell, Guild, Morrow, Horton, Hitchcock, many other gallant and noble men we shall see no mot e. Honor, therefore, all honor to you, men of the Second Division. You have shown what you will do when you shall have the proper opportunity. You did not seize the fort, be cause it was simply impossible, and known now to lx* impossible bvttae reconnoissance referred to in the orders of thanks of the Commanding General.” letter from Col. Plalsted, of the Eleventh Maine. We have been permitted to make the follow ing extracts from a letter from Col. Plalsted to Gov. Washburn. Our readers will Bud it in teresting.

Headquartersl Hon. L Washburn, Jr.: My Dear Sir:—We like Dr. Blunt much. He appears to be a whole man and a good physician. It is a pleasure to have such a man with us. My sick list is diminishing and our numbers increasing. The sick are returning from the Hospital. I have two hundred and fifty "absent and sick” who ought to be back here very soon. In all, I have 327 absent anil sick privates, and eight commissioned officers While we were on the march every day, ali who were taken down so they could not keep up with the regiment. 1 had sent off to hospi tals. They could not follow the regiment, and to leave them behind would have Iwen death to them, probably. Most of that large num ber. I doubt not, had we tx?on ia camp, would have recovered by this time. Every day now, they are coining iu, having been discharged from the hospitals. A large num!x*r have been rent home to Maine. Now that passes can be given them to'return I lio|x> soon to see them coming in large squads. If I had a thousand men—Maine men—such men as I now have, God helping us, we would make a name for our goixl old State. My lit tle battallion stood the Are of the enemy for hours, until more than half their number had fallen, and would have stood longer had I said so. It Is a wonder to mi1—their perfect cool ness after the tlrst “scare” was off. They put themselves into my hands and otx yed my or hottest fire, while their comrades were drop ping all around them—as they did on parade. Indeed many did better, for they gave better attention. Such men ran't be beaten. Even the wounded would not retire so long as they could fight One boy—his name I think was Prescott, from Exeter, held up his bloody hand—blood was all over him and his gun, his face was all presperation and blood—and look ing up Ifltn my face, said: “Colonel, do you think I had better leave.” His middle finger had been cut away close to his hand and he had kept up his tin' until forced, not by |>ain, but by the inconvenience of the thing, to de sist. I sent him to the rear. There was no difference, all—young and old, officers and privates,ready to make the fight to the death. Yes, it is a iconrter to me—their good conduct. The 11th lrt of New Orleans has been legally open since the 1st of June; the arrival of the Collector of the jKirt w ill tend to regulate the movements of vessels, and he will remove all traces of the blockade but the restrictions rel ative to articles contraband of w ar. as stated ill Mr. Chase's circular, which we published yesterday. We are informed that a multitude of ships, actually loading in the northern ports, will soon appear at New Orleans, anil cover our levees with a great quantity of manufac tured articles. We believe that these reports are greatly ev aggerated. Postal communication between New Orleans and New York is frequent enough for speculators in this city to get accurate in formation of tile state of financial and com mercial a It airs in New York. As regards pro visions and a few very necessary articles, there l» very little that can tind buyers it. a state to pay in cash, w hile business oil credit w ill not l la* re-established until long after the war is i ended. Iu fact, the means of business are lim ited to the rily itself and a few adjoining towns —tin* |s‘opie are heavily cmlMUTasscd. their agents are deeply involved, and the banks esn not pay specie. Tile summer season is already far advanced, and it is hardly prolmhle that there will lie much business in products of the seaaou: on the other hand, it is too early to send any w in ter products. Commerce, then, will be limited during the summer to articles of daily eon sumption, and the people will lind themselves restricted by tile state of affairs immediately succeeding the present embarrassment. These considerations, which ought to lie known by the commercial men of the North, w ill stop any great exportation of merchan dise. It will Is* difficult to freight ships forthe voyage out alone if they are not assured of freight on return; and we cannot see how there can Im* freight for the multitude of shi^s whose i arrival we announce iu advance. Northern captains will not care to arrive here at a time at which they would tie exposed to the yellow i fever, without the certainty of beiug able to secure freight lor the return trip. Fifty shi|is i arriving (lorn now to the end of July, with provisions, ice, Ixsits and shoes, could obtain partial cargoes of sugar, molaasas, tobacco, or I slaves; hut it a greater number of them should come, they would run the risk of returning iu ballast. The President's Speech.—It is known that President Lincoln’s brief visit to and con sultation with (icn. Scott, set curiosity on tip toe to dnd out his object, and to learn what great events might hinge on that quiet and un ostentatious journey. At Jersey f’ity, on his return, the crowd was vociferous to hear from Mr. hincoln, and would not be satisfied or put off with a mere nod of the head, so the distin guished traveller gratified them with the fol lowing, winch is both capital and characteris tic: "When birds and animals arc looked at through a fog they are seen to disadvantage, and their size is greatly increased; but when the fog clears away the effect is diminished, and they appear in their natural proportions. And so it might be wttb you if I were to at tempt to tell you why I wont to see Gen. Scott. 1 can only say that my visit to West Point did not have the importance w hich lias been at tached to it; hut it concerned matters that you understand quite us well as if I were to tell you all about them. Now I can only remark that it had nothing whatever to do with mak ing or unmaking of any general in the coun try. (Laughter and applause.) The Secreta ry of ar, you know, holds a pretty tight reign on the press, so that they shall not tell more than they ought to; and fain afraid if I blab too much he might draw a tight rein on me.” (Laughter and applause.)

MATTERS ABOUT TOWN. Fihe on Munjoy.—Yesterday morning at 1 1-4 o’clock, a Are was discovered in a wood en building on the comer of Lafayette and Congress Street*, owned by S. L. Carleton, Esq., and occupied as a dwelling house and Bakery, by Messrs. Bryant A Bowie. The fire was discovered by Mrs. Bryant in the rear of the building, and instant alarm was given. By the prompt exertions of neighbors, most of Bryant’s property was saved from conflagra tion but we regret to state that little else was saved, the balance of goods falling a prey to the devouring element. Upon some parties the loss will fall quite heavily. The building was mostly covered by insurance. An Accident.—On Friday evening last, a gentleman riding near the foot of Wilmot street, was thrown from his horse, receiving a very serious fall. We are pleased to state that although in a very contused condition, nothing of an alarming nature may be apprehended. Would equestrians but watch the ears of a balky or vicious horse, much trouble could be anticipated and avoided. Don’t Stop yoi b Teams at the Cbosk Ixgh.—Several times lately we have observed instances of this kind, where parties luUting for the moment, have obstructed the cross walks, and that too in our great thoroughfare*. Ladies have not unfrequently lteen obliged to turn aside into the mud.toavoid such nuisance*. We know of a case where a lady finding her progress impeded in this manner by the four hone team of a country wagoner, endeavored to pass to the rear of the vehicle, and while so doing, the driver in starting his horses caused them to back, bringing a wheel into close prox imity to her person, and passing by her with a rate and force of a 68 lb. shot in its flight. We recollect having seen somewhere a notice posted up in a room at a public house, to this effect—“No gentleman will smoke in this roomand we also feel assured, that “no gen tleman will stop his team over the pnblic crossings.” Glccine—A cement for glass, earthem, china or wood—just the article for every eco nomical housekeeper always to have at hand. Invest twenty-live cents, and receive a divi dend in dollars saved. Bailey A Noyes have sent us a bottle, which, if we can find no other use for, we shall send to Bro. Pike of the Age, with which to mend the wooden “ghost” of democracy, which he seems so anxious to pre serve. It is likely to get badly fractured. B3T" Bailey A Noyes, and H. L. Davis, Ex change street, have received a full supply of Harper’s Monthly for July. It is a capital number. Messrs. A. Williams A Co., Boston, are the General Agents for New England, for this and other of Harper’s publications. An Honest Boy.—An honest boy Is gen erally sure to make an honest man. On Sat uraay evening, as we were quietly standing on the corner of Exchange and Middle streets, our attention was attracted by the voice of one of those juvenile specimens of humanity y-clept “news-boys,” and who with his gener ous little soul shining through his eyes, was calling to a gentleman who had but just pur chased a paper of him—“Look here, sir, I didn’t give you the right change. You want five cents moreand handing out the required amount, was about to clear off, when he was thus questioned by the gentleman: “Why didn’t you keep the money, my lad, I shouldn't have missed it?” “I don’t do things in that style,” answered the youth,—“that kind of money wouldn't do me any good,’V—and the next moment away he sped, crying out, “Only one more left—have a paper, sir?” Good boy, —may you live and shine, unmoved and un prompted by that sordid avarice, which too frequently governs those making higher pre tensions than yourself. That boy will make his mark in the world,—depend upon it. Y. A C. Railroad.—In a communication from Gorham, which appeared in our columns yesterday, there was an implied censure of the management of the York A Cumberland Rail road, because, like other roads, it did not run its trains at half fares on the day of the late Masonic celebration. We are informed—in deed, we have reason to know—that this road, as between the public interest and another in terest which its temporary managers have no right to ignore or disregard, did the very best thing it could under the circumstances. The facts, briefly stated, are these: the road is in solvent, and is now in the hands of the legal tribunals, being run by Receivers or a Receiver appointed by the court. Its rolling stock is limited, and in ail cases of ordinary excursions, by the courtesy of other connecting roads, cars can be borrowed for its accommodation. On the day referred to it was found impossible to borrow cars, as the other roads had use for all they could command. The Y. A C. was ob liged to be content with its own limited sup ply, and in fidelity and good faith towards the creditors the managers did not feel at liberty to reduce the receipts one half; merely to do as other roads did, when by so doing not an additional passenger could be accommodated. These we presume to be the precise facts. Stranger as we are in the place, it is not our intention to be unjust either to corporations or individuals. mKETiso ix aid or Sick Soldiers.—Mrs. A. A. Goddard, who since October last has acted as nurse to the Tenth Maine will give a free lecture at the New City Hall, this (Mon day) evening, on the wants of our soldiers in the Held and hospital. Rev. Mr. Colby, chaplain of the Twelfth Maine Regiment, will be present, and make some interesting communications in relation to the sanitary condition and wants of our sol diers at New Orlean. Rev. Mr. Hadley, agent of the Sanitary Commission at Washington, will also be present and address the meeting. A contribution, for the purpose of securing hospital supplies, will be taken up. arm, To-day.”—This remark was made by at least nine-tenths of our population, on Saturday. It did seem as if the sun was cen treing ids forces at this place, and we have yet to learn that surrounding towns were aware of his presence among them. It may be, that as whale oil “is Hz,” a point of economy up there, to light but one town of a State per diem.— Anyhow, the light obtained was of the first brilliance, and the “solar” appeared to be a leetle too near for comfort. Nothing of con sequence to newspaper editors appeared to transpire, and the only thing worth relating was the appearance on Middle street of a little boy, who, having “tripped up,” or down, rath er, on to the curb stone, passed on his way home with his mother, liathed in gore from his nasal organ, presenting much the same appear ance as it is premised “Secesh” hombreti will have to make, as alter having been bathed in their own blood, they will be led home by their fond parent, Samuel. Atlantic Monthly.—This deservedly pop ular magazine—the “Blackwood” of America —for July has come to hand. This number commences a new volume—the tenth—and presents an attractive table of contents. The list of contributors embraces the best literary and scientific taleut in the Union. Ticknor A Fields, Publishers, Boston. Attention is called to the rules and re gulations for the Regatta, on the 4th, which will be found in this paper. Municipal Court. Jr»B 28,1862. We have to note this morning another case of a— ult and battery. Notwithstanding the many examples made lately of that class of of fenders, it seems that there are still those fool hardy enough to brave the law, and set at de fiance the wholesome restrictions made for the benefit of our municipal peace. For Instance: George E. Coburn was arraigned lx-fore His Honor Judge Lane, on a charge of assault and battery, committed upon the person of an l “aged colored Individual,” whose head had lie come frosted by the snow-s of sixty winters. The prisoner pleaded not guilty, urging at the same time the excuse of intoxication. This, however, in the mind of the Judge, was insuf ficient to mitigate the offence, ami lie was sen tenced to pay a fine of $.r,,00 and cost* of Court, amounting to $8,42. Hum is the parent of all tnd deeds, and they arc as inseparable from one another as is smut from a chimney. Now, we do uot lielicve that bad this young man been in possession of the natural faculties which God has given him— that had his reason not been clouded by the destroyer—that we should have had occasion to chrouide the above case. May this prove a warning to those of our youth, who, behold- j lug the inan in the drinking of a giasa of spir its, speedily find that they have been courting the acquaintance of the devil. “The drink that's iu the drunkard's bowl," Ac. Knoi.isu Inconsistency.—It is singular that, while the Icadidg men In the English Parliament assume the right to canvas Gen.

Upon our retirement the enemy lmd once more swept over the field, and a second time we drove him back step by step over all the ground orignally won, and maintained our position there at night. Hut little artillery was employed, and the casualties, therefore, are not so "numerous as might be supposed from the kuration of the fight. As tin- artillery used was mostly ours, the enemy's loss is doubtless considerably heavier than our own. Cur loss will perhaps reach 80 killed and less than 200 wounded. Two hrigadi-s of Gen.

IMPORTANT NEWS Rumor of the Capture of Richmond JACKSON, PRICE AND BEAUREGARD AT RICHMOND They are to he Assigned Impor tant Commands SENATOR WILSON RECOVERING No Foreign Intervention Reported Capture of Riohmond. New York, Sunday Night. Rumors are current here that there has been four days fighting at Richmond. That J ickson reinforced Jhunson arid fell on and turned our right wing, but that Gen. McClellan, by a mas terly manoeuvre, threw a portion of the left to its support and defeated the enemy. This led to a general fight in which the artillery was promi nent and the rebels were defeated and driven and our troops followed up their advantage and took Richmond. These are rumors, but the fact that Mr. Ful ton, editor of the Baltimore American, states in the only dispatch he is allowed to tclgraph by the Secretary of War and Military Censor, that the greatest military victory of the age has been achieved, gives a color of truth to such ru mors The prohibition of the transmission of Mr. Fulton’s account of the battle or even a definite statement of its results undoubtedly arises from the fact that no official report has been received from Gen. McClellan at the War Department but appears extraordinary after receiving the assurance this afternoon, that any news, good or bad, would be sent to the press immediately. More Returned Soldier*.

City is full of exciting rumors of severe fight ing at Richmond, which are believed, but no re liable intelligence has transpired. The following staff officers will report for duty in person to Maj. Gen. Pope, in this city: Maj. John Bufford, Assistant Inspector General, U.S. A.; Maj. R. Jones, Assistant Inspector General, U. S. A.; Burgeon, Joseph It. Barnes, C. 8. A. The report that Gen. Banks is dissatisfied with the order placing Gen. Pope in command of the army of Virginia is not true. Gen. Banks is a soldier and obeys orders. Long ago he express ed his willingness to form ajunction with either Fremont or McDowell, and act in the field sub ordinate to them if by so doing it would con tribute in the least to crush out the rebellion. The appointment of Gen. Pope to his present position was no surprise to Gen Banks. Senator Wilson is still confined to hiB room. He is very weak and suffers a great deal. His symptoms however, under Surgeon Dorr, indi cate that he will soon resume his seat. The rumors here about foreign intervention are without foundation. Formal communica tions relating to the Butler affair at New Orleans or other comparative trifles are readily constru ed and magnified into intervention. Exactly the opposite is understood to be the authentic news from abroad, and it is apparent in all our foreign intercourse there is an increasing re spect for the Government of the United States. The declaration in the House of Commons which come by the last steamer arc conclusive. XXXVII CONGRESS—First Session. Washington, June 28. SENATE. The President pro tern, submitted the official report of the battle of Shiloh. Referred. Mr. King presented a petitiou numerously signed by volunteers honorably discharged, ask ing that the provisions fur boudty be extended them. The bill to establish an arsenal at Columbus, Ohio; Indianapolis, Iud., and Rock Island, was considered. Mr. Browning moved to insert Quincy instead of Rock Island. Mr. Davis moved to insert Keakuk. Without action on the bill, the confiscation bill was taken up. Mr. Cowan said he was as much in favor of punishing rebels as any one. He would only be lenient to the Uhion men of the South. Mr. Wilkinson refesred to the declarations of the Union men of the South, that unless some thing was done of this kind there would be no hope lor them. Mr. Cowan said he would put down the rebel lion with the whole force of the govenment and hang the guilty leaders as high as Haman, but it is not the way to suppress the rebellion to pass measures obnoxious to all loyal men from the border States. Hardly a day passes but measures are introduced by a certain school which are culcated to make enemies instead of friends. Mr. Sumner offered an amendment to the Sen ate bill, that no evidence shall be enclosed on account of color. Rejected, yets 14, nays 35. Mr. Sumner read letters from Uuion men in Tennessee in favor of confiscation and emanci pation with colonisation. Mr. Powell said such was not the opinion of one man in five thousand of the people of the ■lave states. The question was then taken, on Mr. Clark’s motion, to substitute the bill of the Senate Com mittee for the House bill, which was agreed to. On motion of Mr. King, the Senate went into executive session. Adjourned. New York Market. Cotton excited, sales 1500 bales at 38.

MISCELLANY._ The True Hero. Not many years since tlie good ship Ponto sailed from Boston, tiound to Sumatra. She was commanded by Captain Isaac Jacobs, a good seaman, and naturally a good hearted man; but in his long career beneath the tri dent of Neptune he had imbibed many of those false ideas prevalent among seamen, and he had eoine to look upoii tlie sailor’s life as one which necessarily did away with those warmer and finer traits of character that mark the hu mane and generous landsman. In this wise Isaac Jacobs sometimes lost sight of true merit where it actually existed. Among the crew of the Ponto, on her pres ent voyage, was a young man named Caleb Baker. He had shippedduly three days lie fore the ship sailed. lie was a slender framed man, w ith a fair, prepossessing countenance, light blue eyes, and light brown hair. Though light in his build he was well stocked with muscle, and his motions were quick and ener getic. His appearance wes calculated to pre dispose beholders in his favor. One day, shortly after the ship had left port, as Baker was busy about some matters of his own in one of tie gangways, one of the men, a rough, uncouth fellow, by the name of Bunk- i ton, came along and gave the clothes bug of Mr. Baker a kick out of his way, thereby scat tering a number of things about the deck. ‘1 w ish you’d be careful,' said Baker, as he moved to gather up his tilings. •Then keep your tilings out o’ my way,’ gruffly returned Bunkton. ‘They were not ill your wav.’ ‘Do you mean to tell me I lie ‘I said iny things were not in your way.’ ‘And I say they were. Now don’t you dis pute me again.’ ‘Very well, have it your own way,’ calmly replied Baker, as he dew his bag in toward the bulwarks. ‘And doh't you be impudent, neither,’ pro vokingiy added Bunkton. Look ye, Bunkton, if you've any business of your own, you’d better mind it. ‘Eli, lubber? I'll show ye my business. Take that.' As Bunkton spoke, he struck the young man upon tlie face. The crew had most of them gathered about the place, and arrangements were quickly in: d for a fight. ‘Just eoine forward—come forward, and I’ll show ye my business,’ cried Buukton, bristling about with his fists doubled up. ‘A fight! a fight! cried half a dozed of the men. Don’t stand that. Baker.’ The young man’s eyes had flashed as he re ceived the blow and there was a quick quiver ing of the muscles in his hands, but he made no motion to strike. ‘Ain’t you agoin’ to take It up said Buuk ton. ‘No. I want nothing to do with you,’ Caleb. ‘Than you are a coward!’ uttered Bunkton, with a contemptuous tone and look. Young Baker calmly replied to the taunt, and Bunkton became stfll more savage. Those who know anything about the ocean life, will at once understand the sentiments of the rough crew upon such matters as the present. They could comprehend but one kind of courage, and the moment that Baker refused to fight they set him down as an arrant coward. At first they had been urenossessed In his favor. for Bunkton was a quarrelsome fellow, and they hoped Caleb would flog him, but when they saw him quietly turn away and resume his work, the.', too, began to taunt him. ‘What's all this!' asked Captain Jacolis who was attracted to the spot. The matter was explained to him. ‘Didn’t resent it V uttered the captain, look ing with mingled surprise and contempt upon Caleb. ‘Why didn't you knock him down, Baker?’ ‘Because I don’t want to fight any man, sir.’ ‘And will you allow yourself to be struck and not resent it ‘I will defend myself hi case of danger, but I will not so abuse myself as to engage in a bru tal fight when it can be possibly avoided. I have as yet done wrong to no man; but were I to fight one of my shipmates, 1 should wrong him and myself both.’ ‘Then you will have yourself looked upon as one who may be struck with impunity. A quick flash passed over the young man's face as the captain thus spoke, but he was soon calm. ‘I mean sir,’ he returned, ‘to give no one oc casion to strike me; yet Bunkton struck me, and you can see that he already suffers more from the effects of it than I do.’ Bunkum gave Caleb the lie, and again tried to urge him into a fight, but the captain inter fered, and quiet was restored. From that time, Caleb Baker was looked upon by the crew as a coward. At first they taunted him, but his uniform kiudness soon pm a stop to these outward manifestations, and the feelings of the crew were expressed by their looks. Bunkton took every occasion he could find to annoy the young man, for he had taken his oatli that he would ‘have a fight out of the coward yet.’— The rest of the crew might have let the mat ter pass, had not BuukUin's continued ls-ha vior kept alive the idea of Baker’s cowardice. None, save himself, knew the great struggle that went on in the young man’s bosom; hut he had resol ved that he would not fight, ex cept in actual and necessary self-defence, and he adhered to ids principle. He performed his duties laithfully. and Capt Jacobs was forced to admit that though Baker was a cow ard be was a good sailor. Tims matters passed until the ship had dou bled the Cape ol Good Hope and entered the Indian Ocean. It was toward the close of a day that had been sultry and oppressive, that a fltfiil breeze sprung up from the southward. It came in quirk and cool gusts, and the can vas only flapped before it. ‘We are likely to have a blow,’remarked the mate. ‘Not much, I think,’ returned the captain, as he took a survey of the horizon. ‘This spitting will soon die nway,aiid 1 think the wind will then coine from the west'ard. However, it may lie well enough to shorten sail. You may take in the t'gallants'ls and close-reef tops'ls.’ The order was quickly obeyed, and, as the captain had predicted, the spitting gusts died away, but there was no. wind came out from tiie westward. It grew' dark, hut no wind had come. About ten o’clock those on deck were startled by a sudden darkening of the stars, and they saw a great black cloud rolling nn lrom the southward. It noon hung over the I ship like a black pall, ami tile men liegan to lie frightened. Tlie captain was called, Imt 1** tbre he came on deck then* came a crash as though the very heavens had been rent asun der. The old ship trembled in every joint, and a huge hall of tire rolled down the mainmast. Another and another crashing of the light ning came, and at length the electric light ls* gan to play about the ship ill wild fantastic streams. •Tlie mainmast is struck!’ shouted one of the men. *See where it* head is shivered T All eyes were turned to the spot, and by the next wild flash the men could see that danger ous havoc had been made witli the mainmast. The cap was shivered, the starlioard chock was nearly sripped oil', and the trestletrees I were quivering. Of course the heavy top- I mast was held in its place by the dubious tres 11ctrccs. and tin* main top threatened every instant to come thundering to the deck, with the long topmast and topgallant mast in it* company. Such a catastrophe would prove fatal to tlie ship, and all were aware of it. But while aii hands were gazing at this an other danger arose. Tlie low rumbling sound that had been muttering in the southward had esca|x*d the notice of the crew, and ere they knew it, the rushing, howling wind wa* upon them. The ship leaped like a frightened stag before the gale. The mate cut the maintop- sail sheets, and the sail was clewed up, and tlie ship got before tin* w ind. The lightning cloud was swept away, and it was dark a* Erebus. The wind how led fear- fully, but there was a sound more fearful than that, it was the cracking of the shattered trestlet recs, aa the lid of the topmast bore down upon them. ‘Oh God!' ejaculated Captain Jacolw, ‘if tlie trestietrees give way we are lost, ilark, hear them labor Away up aloft, in the irnpenetruble darkness, stood the giant topmast, and all felt that it could not stand there long. Tin* men crowded uft, and with painfully healing hearts they heard the mast labor. “Jl we could bring tlie ship broadside to,” said tlie mate, “the weather rigging might be cut. and the mast must go overboard "Tnie, true,” returned the captain; “but who 11 go aloft and do tlie job Then* will be no foothold in tlie trap, for timt will go with a crash. The treslctrees an* already shattered “If you will port tin* helm I will make tlie trial.” cried a dear, strong voice, which wit* at once recognized as Caleb Baker's. "I* will Is* sun* death." said jarolts. “Then let it lie so,” returned Caleb. “If I succeed, the rest of you may be saved: but now we are all in great danger. Port the helm and I will go." Caleb took the nxe from the mizzenmast, soon bis form was lost In tile darkness, as he moved toward the starboard rigging. The helm was put a port, and the ship gradually gave her sturlmnrd side to the gale. Soon the blow of an axe was heard. There was a fear ful straining and cracking—and then came the crash. The heavy topmast had gone clear over the side. Fragments of trestle and cross-trees came rattling upon the deck, but all eyes were strained painfully toward the masthead. The ship was onee more got before the wind, and ere long Baker came safely to the deck.— He staggered aft to the binnacle, and there he sank, fainting and bruised, upon the deck, but he was ipiieklv conveyed to the cabin, and his wants were all met. Caleb's bruises were none of them bad, and in a few days he was again at his duty. The men eyed him anxiously, and seemed uneasy as they met his smiles. The captain, too, changed color when he met the kind, noble look of the young man. but soon overcame the false pride that actuated him, and stepping to the noble fellow's side, he took him by the hand. ‘’Caleb,” said he, “if I have done wrong I freely a«k you to forgive me. I have called you a coward, but I did not know you.” “Think no more of it," said Caleb, with a beaming eye. “I once promised to one whom I loved bettor than life—my mother—that I would never do a deed of which I might after wards be ashamed.” Bunkton pressed forward. “Caleb,” he said, seizing the hand of the young man in his hard fist, “you must forgive me for what's past.— We’ll be friends after this.” “Bless you, Bunkton. and friends we will be,” returned Caleb. “Yes,” added Bunkton, “an’ if you won't fight for yourself, I'll tight for you, if ever you stand in need of it,” “I tell yon, my men,” said the captain, “there are two kinds of courage, and after all, I don't know but Caleb Baker's kind is the best. It takes a stronger and bigger heart to hold it, at all events.” Mowing Machines on Farms. In one of the Legislative agricultural meet ings which took place at the State House in March last, when the topic under discussion was that of “Farm Implements,” one or more of the speakers stated that they thought mow ing machines were profitable on large farms, but on small ones would hardly pay. We thought at the time that this was an er roneous view of the matter, ami upon farther reflection, we think so still. Tin- farmer who lias a large farm is presumed to have capital corresponding with his acres, and to devote his whole time to the management of his es tate. He is never ningk-kanded and alone. If sick, or disabled in any way, he has strong hacks and stout arms to depend upon, in his hired men, still to carry oil the cultivation of tlic crops, or to secure the harvests. He cun even visit the seashore or the mountains, and be absent for several days, without auv special detriment to bis farming operations. Ills corn and roots are hoed and kept in a flourishing couuiiion, anu ms nay, anil wncui. nun rye crop*, carefully secured, so that lie finds load ed scatTolds of golden grain, and bursting bays of aromatic hay, all safely housed, to gladden him ou ills return. If he has used a mowing machine, all this lalsir has undoubtedly been greatly facilitated, and the crops have been economically secured. Hut suppose he has not availed himself of this labor-saving implement—lie lias had, and al ways can have, a force, in athletic men, equal to all the demands upon him. If there is any class of our farmers who can dispense with the mowing machine, and not most sensibly feel its absence, it is this that we have descrilied. Thi^ class may lx- independent of the machine if it will, but not without loss. Such, however, is not the case with the small farmer. Ills whole success-is centered in his own judicious management, aided by his own muscular power. The hard jobs, as well as the easy, anil ull the duties that incessantly come, Isith late and early, are also his. His sons may lie in the army, factory, or behind a counter, all but the youngest, w ho is only fourteen, and yet has swung tlie scythe the’ two previous years. Perhaps the fanner is considerably past mid dle life, and although in good health. Ids cheek is furrowed, and grey hairs sprinkle his tem ples. It is (rue that the grasshopper is not a burden to him yet. but he docs not feel like cutting his acre liefore dinner; he stops to whet o(teller than he did twVnty years ago, and rests longer in the shade ol the big appletree! In fact, his “mowing machine" ika-s not w ork a* it formerly did. There is plenty of will, but lews power, and the work progresses slowly, wutie he looks |iainfully around to sec what lie can call in his aid. to secure the ero)is which bene ficent Heaven has matured for the support of his family. The moving machine comes to such a man as a real blessing. It enables him to keep up with his younger neighbor*; to cut his crops in season, anil six-lire them without loss. He is relieved, encouraged, and fed* comparative ly young again, because he can carry on Ills farm as rapidly and successfully as lie did in Id* younger and stronger days. Perhaps the small farmer is in feeble health —not really sick lint unable to take the lead in laborious work—but with the aid of a mow ing machine and a good horse rake, he is more than a match for the best five men in the coun try. Hut this is not all. Somehow, he feels I letter than he did. His appetite is sharp—he has gained tiesh, stands up straighter than for many years before, and with these blessings, another lias come, more valuable than all, in a cheerful, trusting,hopeful spirit, which brings a new sunshine and joy to hi* whole home stead. Wonderful! And the doctor ys,“all this has come liecause you do n work so hard!” There arc other reasons why the small fann er should use a mowing machine, but w e have pursued the subject too fur to give them now. We have said enough to suggest many more reasons to those who an- willing to think about it, and so we leave it at present for their own pleasant thoughts, and, we trust, judicious con clusions.—N. E. Farmer. Revival of Southern Trade. An article from the New Orleans Bee, which we reproduce elsewhere, presents some con siderations on the prospects of trade at that place which seem to ns worth attention. We do not wish to discourage the hopefulness and buoyancy which an- such valuable elements of our national character, ami which nourish the confident and enterprising spirit to which we are even uiurt* indebted lor our wonderful progress than to our great natural resources. But nothing is gained by refusing to look at unpleasant facts; and facts do not warrant the expectation that .Southern trade will, for a long time to rome, resume its former import ance. The fact that the trade of the* South has al ways is-en done on the system of long credits is conclusive against its speedy resumption.— Tile South has always purchased goods in New York on the strength of the next years cotton crop. Southern trade has not sudden ly built up swarms of wealthy cities, like Chi cago, Cincinnati, St. Louis, Buffalo, Cleave land, Detroit, Milwaukee, and a multitude of others, which arc reservoirs that the stream of Western commerce tills in Its progress toward the ocean. Eight Western States, namely Oliio, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Minnesota, lows and Kansas (half of them in tlie beginning of infancy) have already a |*>p ulation of 7,882,00(1, while tin- population of tin- eight Cotton States, Alaliama, Florida, Georgia. Louisiana. Mississippi. South Caroli na. Texas and Arkansas, is only 5,402,000. De duct from this tin- slaves, which make about one-half, and tin- “poor w hite trash,” who, as consumers of goods, hardly rise above the lev el ol tile slaves, and even the tallies of popu lation will show that tin- value of the South ern trade must Is- small as compared witli that of (in- West. Then that of tin- West is annu ally increasing at an unexampled rate. While therefore, no great expectations can tic entertained of Southern trade for the next year or two, both the South and the North un likely to learn practically of how little account it is in making up the sum total of national prosperity. It is mainly the West that has been enriching the country for tin- last twenty years; its growth is making the South all the while ol less relative importance. Tin- revival of Southern trade concerns the South more than it does the North; and although the prospect is not battering, we do not, on the w hole, consider it very depressing.—[N'. Y. World. "A young man, married less than a year since, says that until tin- last month or six weeks, In- never fully appreciated the restraints of Bohy-lotiLsh captivity. THE MARKETS.

That for Children Catting Teeth, if troubled with Diarrha'a or any irregularities of the bowels, all oth er remedies arc insignificant, as compared with CLEM S SUMMER CURE. That for Children troubled with Canker in month or stomach. or —ithiri from nursing sore mouth, a safe and spe«*dy cure is effected by the use of CLEM’S SUMMER CURE. That for Coughs, Hoarseness and Bronchial aflWct ions, there is no remedy extant that so universally affords relief as HOWES’ COUGH PILLS.
