Caaey, who had placed the 100th N. Y., Col. Brown, on the left of that Hoad, behind a Held of large timber, that had been cut down on the right of the same road was placed Capt. Spratt's N. Y. Battery of four pieces; on the right of these were three companies of the 11th Maine, Col. Plaisted, and on the rigid ol the 11th Maine were eight companies of the 104th, Pa., Col. Davis; 4 companies of the ltli Maine were on picket duty, hut being driven in formed with the 50th N. Y., Lt. Col. Jandan, at his encampment, in line of battle, parallel with and about 800 yards in rear of the picket line, 200 yards to the left of the Railroad, Col. Dodge’s 52d Pa., supporting the picket line on the extreme right, formed at his eucampment, on the mile, road, 3-4 of a mile in rear of the large Garnett fleld. The remaining companies of the 104th Pa^ and 11th Maine, were on picket duty along the large fleld in the direc tion of the Chickahominy. ouuu ftiw-i iuy aiiuni ujiuii uic ^iuuim,auutu 1 P. M., the Are then being quite frequent, anil from the direction oftlie main Richmond stage road, (ien. Casey gave an order to the ltJOth 104th and 11th to charge, when as reported by Col. Davis, “The regiments sprung forward “toward the enemy with a tremendous yell. In “our way was a high worm fence, which cut “our former line of battle, but the boys sprang “over it, with the same enclosure with the en “cmy, when we formed and resumed the tight. “The tattle now raged with great fury and the •‘firing was much hotter than before. Spratt’s “Battery during this time had kept up a live ly II e in the same direction. At ubout 8 P. “M..the enemy being largely reinforced, press 'll us in front and flank, and seeing that wo “could not hold our position much longer, un less reinforced, I despatched an officer to Gen. “Casey for that purpose. The Col. of the 100th “X. Y. being killed, the Col. of the 104th being “severely wounded, the Mujormortally wouud “ed, the Lt. Col. alwent sick, half of our men “having fallen, killed or wounded, the enemy, “ten times our numbers, being within a few “feet of us, one of them striking Sergeant l’or “ter, the left guide of the ltftth on the neck “with his musket, and several ofthe 11th Maine “being imyoneted, receiving no reinforcements, “we were ordered, with Spmtt’s Battery, to re tire, but unfortunately the horse of one of “tlie pieces being killed, we were compelled to "abandon that piece.” Tlie enemy endeavored to follow up his suc cess, and was advancing in closed columns) when, our troops being sufficiently withdrawn, CoL Bailey, of the 1st X. Y. Artillery, at my request, directed the tire of the hatteries of Fitch and Bates, to be concentrated u|>on the advancing mass. At every discharge of gra)>e and cannlster, wide gaps were opened in his ranks, w hich were Ailed as soon as opened; still he pressed on, but Alining that lie was ad vancing “into the very jaws of death,” with sullen hesitation, after many trials, and with immense loss, he concluded to desist at this point. ui. conduct anil good services a* alsive descriliod, and suggesting that, in the event ol being compelled to abandon another piece, he should instruct his gunners to spike before leaving it, he went into the redoubt to give these orders, when he was shot by a rifle ball through the forehead, and died u few minutes after—the State losing a gallant soldier, and his Artillery a friend to whom they were entirely devoted. Soon after this. Major Van Valkenburgh of the same Artillery wa« killed by a rifle ball, whilst actively engaged in working these liat teries, and but a little while after Lieut. Iium sey, the Adjutant, in the same manner. All of the field and staff officers being killed, I as sumed the direction of the Batteries compos ing the 1st X. Y. Artillery. Xo reinforcement having been sent to us, and desirous of following up the success refer red to, alsmt 3 1’. M. I rode to flic rear and lead up the 66th X. Y., Lieut. Col. Thouronte, and placed it in line at right angles to the Wil liamsburg road, alsiut 60 yards in advance of I the redoubt, the left resting a short distance from the road, and !*>fore getting into position they were compelled to march over the lushes of their killed and wounded comrades, anil soon afterwards found themselves fully en gaged. Leaving the 55th. my attention was directed towards the right, when I found at 4 P. M., tlie 55th, with 11th Maine, which after four hours’ contest had fallen back about four hundred yards, and were again placed at four o'clock and ten minutes, facing the front, in a depression in the ground, alsmt midway be tween the Williamsburg road and the Railroad, and about three hundred yard* in front of the nine mile road. Xear by X found the 52d, which had been ordered from the right, and I placed them in echellon to the right and rear of the 56th, with the right resting upon and in rear of a large pond. At this time the fire here had cousidgpbly slackened, but wa* in creasing on the left. Returning in alsmt an hour to the left. X found the 55lb engaged to their utmost extent, and ascertained for the first time that the enemy had discerned, what I had long feared, that there were none of our troops between the white oak swamp and a line parallel with, and but two hundred yards from the Williamsburg road, lie had more than an hour before discerned this, and with sliarpehooters concealed in the woods, they had killed many of our most valuable officers had picked off the cannonnce**, had killed from three to four horses out of every team attached to the artillery, and at the time of my return had driven the men from the rifle pit*. Xo time was to be lost. Fitch's battery was, l ordered off to the rear. The battery under Lieut. Ilart was next ordered to retire, but it was soon found that but one limber could be pioved. I ordered the pieces to be spiked, but after spiking the pieces in the redoubt, those on the outside were in the possession of the enemy. By way of precaution I had ordered the prolongers to be fixed to the section* of Regan’s battery still firing up the Williams j burg road, and ordered it to retire firing, until in the aliattis that crossed the road. I then withdrew this regiment under the protection of its fire, which had fought most gallantly, suffered severely, and contributed much in the end towards saving Regan’s battery from fall ing into the hand* of the enemy. Then the entire field in our immediate rear being in possession of the enemy, who had pressed to j within a few yards of us, supporting many of our wounded horses to keep them from falling in the traces, we brought the last sections of the battery rrom the field. The air by this time was literally filled with iron and lead. Returning rapidly to my 5»Ith X. Y. end 11th Maine, my anticipations there were realized. Being successful in turning our left flank, the enemy had opened a most destructive cross fire upon them from the pieces near the redoubt j that had not been spiked, and this, with the Are from their immediate front, was no longer to be endured, and they w ere withdrawn and marched from the nine mile road and placed in position in rear of this road, about seven hundred yards from the Seven Pines, where I soon their services were required. In the meanwhile, Col. Xeil of the 23d I’a., had come u|M>n the ground occupied by Col. Dodge, and i induced hiui to advaace in front uud to the right of the position that had been assigned to him. whiie he, Col Xeil, occupied that which j the 52d vacated. But these dispositions were I scarcely made before the masses of the enemy broke through, and a few minutes sufficed to leave the half of Dodge’* command upon the ground, and to force Xeil precipitately from hi* position. ii" miiumuif; juiunm ui me oxu,“iur ll was now- reduced to a little over one hundred men,—were conducted along the nine mile road to the Seven Pine*, where, finding the ri fle pits occupied, they took possession of a fence and some out-houses, anil did most ef fective service. Afterwards they crossed to the left of Couch’s position, and advanced two hundred yards into and along the woods to the left and front of the Seven Pines, where they remained actively employed until near dark, when the enemy advancing rapidly in masses to the rear of the nine mile road, inclined towards the Williamsburg road, sweeping eve rything from the fields, our forces making one general simultaneous movement to the rear, which did not stop until all arrived at the line of the fence, one mile in the rear. The 52d, having their retreat rut off. escaped by passing through the woods to the left and rear to the sawmill at the White t Lieut. Haney, of the 104th, “that I (Lieut. Haney) and Lieut. Ash enfelden and others led Capt. Corcoran, Capt. Swartzlander, and Lieut. Hamlin, of the 104th, off the Held. It was getting dark—it was prole ably half un hour licfore dark. We went down the nine mile road and along the Williamsburg road. The fighting was nearly over; our troops were all retiring; we saw the enemy not over seventy-five yards in our rear, and no troops lietween us and them. All of our forces were moving back, little regard being paid to brigade, regimental, or even company organi zation. Kearney's tnxips came, but did not stay long. Capt. Corcoran continually becom ing weaker, we were compelled to carry him.” There was no running, and no panic, but all moved off crowded together with a single pur pose, ami that one to make a stand upon the line of defences in the rear—the only ones of sufficient capacity to enable us to defend our selves against vastly superior mimlx*rs until our reinforcements could be hrouget together. Company I, Capt. Merrill, and Company E, Lieut. Sabine, of the 11th Maine, were on pick et duty along the Garnett field, in front of which several rebel regiments marched about dark. Some of the men crawled into the wheat, and shot three of the field officers as they marched by. When Sedgwick crossed the Chickahominv, they immediately communicat ed with him. remained all night upon their picket line, with the enemy in their front and rear, and on Sunday, at 0 A. M., came in, bring ing more prisoners than the entire number of men in their ranks. _1 Y 1_a II!_ _ 0 at., -a xi ma t Mivuvi vi kin iiui iniiiiu nun sick in the hospital, where there were a num ber of the same regiment. After the fight grew warm, he exclaimed—“Boys, all who can hold up your heads, follow me!” More than a score followed him. He shouldered his mus ket, ami all joined their regiment, and fought mo«t gallantly. Bice, after seventeen rounds, delivered with deadly effect.—for he was an excellent shot,—was severely wounded in the thigh, anil was carried from the field. Company E, 104th Pennsylvania, Capt. Har vey. Lieut, ('roll and fifty-eight men, were ex tended on picket duty from the railroad to the corner at the intersection of the nine mile road with the road to Garnett's house; when alxmt 3 P. M. the enemy approached, hut left them unmolested, after firing some scattering shots, during which time they took thirteen prison ers. After 5 P. M. they again approached in force along this entire line. With the assist ance of our supports, we held them in check for nearly an hour, when finding themselves surrounded and taken prisoners, ('apt. Harvey was placed in charge of an officer with five men, and was marching off, when a shell strik ing and killing the officer, the captain took ad vantage of the confusion, and made his escape. Four of the men afterwards came in. On Saturday, Lieut. Col. Hoyt, of the r,2d Pa., was in charge of the Pioneers of the 1st brigade, with companies of the-, build ing a bridge which I had directed to lie built across the Chickahominy: remaining upon the ground and informing himself of the proceed ings upon tlie extreme right, he rendered most valuable services by advising General Sumner, as soon as he had crossed the swamp, of the precise position of onr forces and those of the enemy. After which, the enemy having pressed down between the B. B. and General Sumner, Lieut Col. Hoyt, with the alxive and some of the 100th N. Y. that were driven from the picket line near the Chickahominy, remained with General Sumner until Sunday, and lx* IKI MU VI*. After leaving the battle field at dark, the brigade, numlif ringoncthnusand.were marched to the right rifle pits of the new defences—but vacated them at the request of Gen. Kearney, anil occupied those on the left, with the other brigades of Casey’s Division, when* we re mained under arms in the rain all night. 1 have shown, in the history of the Battle of Seven Tines, the conduct of every one of the regiments of the 1st Brigade, from the first volley fired at noon until the enemy, hav ing driven our troops from the ground, near dark, cut off the retreat of the 52d by the Wil liamsburg road, and were still annoyed by their deadly fire. The list of casualties show that there were taken into the action 84 officers and 1600 men; and that 35 officers and fit 13 men were killed, Mounded and taken prisoners—being 42 per cent, of the former, and 37 per cent, of the latter. Of the 03 of the lltli Maine that were led into the fight by Col. l’laisted, 52 M erc killed and wounded. That the brigade fought well, none can deny —for they lost 638 of their number. Their bodies were found over every part of the field, anil where these bodies lay, Mere found double their number of the enemy. The enemy, more generous than our friends, admit "that we fought most desperately, and against three cn tire divisions of his army, with two in reserve, that late in the day were brought in.” For three and one-half hours we contested every inch of ground with the enemy, and did not yield in that time the half of one mile,— We fought from 12 M. until 3 and a half, P. M. with but little assistance—and until dark, with our comradi-s of other regiments and of other divisions, wherever we could be of service; and when, at dark, the enemy swept all before him, we were the last to leave the ground. Since the Hattie of Seven Pines, now nearly three weeks, a force ten times tile number of Casey and Couch have not been able to regain the line of outposts established by the First Brigade on the 20th of May—our line being half a mile in rear thereof. None of the brig ade, regimental or company baggage was lost. Some of the shelter tents, knapsacks and blankets fell into the hands of the enemy, which was the natural consequence of being encamped in close proximity with the outposts. Conduct such as this, if it be not worthy of commendation, should not call forth censure: for censure, undeserved, chills the ardor and daring of the soldier, and dishonor both the living and the dead. Very respectfully, II. M. Naoi.ee, Brig. Gen. Com’g 1st Brig., Casey's Div. To Asst. Adjt. General Foster, Casey's Div ision, Army of Potomac. PROSPECTUS or THE PORTLAND DAILY PRESS: EDITED BY JOHN T. GILMAN, recently of the Bath Times, AMD JOSEPH B. IIALL, of the Aroostook Herald. The Portland Daily Press is intended to bo an enterprising, vigorous and lire Daily Morning Paper, containing the latest and fullest news by mail and telegraph. THE MAINE STATE PRESS a Is a large, well-filled, carefully edited, and neatly printed weekly paper, intended specially for general circulation throughout the State. Both of the above namd papers will labor to j 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 Lincoln, who in little more than one year, has j indellihly impressed himself upon the natiou’s heart as an incorruptible 'patriot, an inflexible Chief Mag istrate, and an honest man; the ability of whose ad ministration is most signally exhibited, not Jonly in the matchless operations of our army and navy, bnt in the unparalleled fact that, in the midst of this gigantic rebellion,'our Government securities arc selling at a premium. It will zealously labor to ex hibit and defend sound Republican principles, and, inasmuch as political organizations have become a necessity in carrying into effect great principles of political economy, and inasmuch as #the Republican party which, in the brief etiapter of its history already written, lias successfully re fated the allegation of Its enemies that its designs and tendencies were sec tional. and triumphantly vindicated its claim to a Just and liberal Nationality, has remained steadfast in its devotion to the Union while other organizations have so generally become infected with a disloyal spirit, and inasmuch as it is the only party which at present seems competent to conserve the great prin ciples underlying all free Governments, the Prkar will cordially sustain the organization of that party not with a design to foster a mere parlizan spirit, hut in the Bill coniciousness that it embodies the true principles upon which our government rests, and af fords the only available means of accomplishing such results as a lofty patriotism imperatively demands. It will neither seek nor endorse any compromises with men in rebellion against the laws of the land, but will inculcate loyalty to the great central idea of all true democracy—that the majority must govern. Upon the exciting question of Domestic Slavery, it may be proper to say, that while the Tress sill sanc tion no interference with the constitutional or legal rights of loyal men. it will neither ‘apologize for an evil which constitutes the foulest blot upon our national character, nor attempt to resist the tide of events that seems destined to sweep from existence an institution which is the greatest anomaly in a free government. The emancipation of slavery in the j federal Capital, the co-operation of the Federal with the loyal State governments, to secure gradual eman cipation, as proposed by President Lincoln, and all other constitutional measures looking to a peaceful removal of our greatest “moral, political aud social evil,” will find in the Tress a generous aud hearty support. proposed for the 1'rkm, and intending that, aiike in war and in peace—in our country’s peril and in its triumph, it shall speak with no uncertain voice, wc i do not lose sight of the fart that true men have hon estly differed, and that, coming by different routes they now And themselves travelling parallel roads; and, instead of seeking to widen the difference* be- i tween those who are required by a common patriot- ism to act in concert, the 1’kkhs will labor hopefully to encourage unity of pur|x>sc and harmony of act- ion among all loyal men. Aside from it* political department, the Press will be earnestly devoted to the advancement of the best 1 interest* of the city and Mate. Its Local Depart- meut will in no case be ucglcctcd. Particular at ten- j tion will be given to the Commercial and Maritime interests. It will be the aim of its conductors to make j it an indispensable institution of the State, and a ge nial and welcome visitor in every work-shop, count ing-lio'isc, and family circle. The Editor*, not un known to the people of Maine, will give their undivi ded energies ta the work before them, and labor to make such a paper as the city of Portland, the State of Maine, aud the exigencies of the times demand one that shall be true to the popular instincts. The Portland Daily Press is printed with en tirely new type, on a sheet as large as that of any daily in Maine, and issued every morning, (Sun days excepted,) at $5 per annum. Subscriptions for less than six months, 50 cents per month. The Maine State Press, large, neatly printed, aud well tilled with the news of the week, and orig inal aud selected Political, Agricultural, Literary and Miscellaneous reading, making it specially adapted to the Family Circle, will be issued weekly, at $1.50 per year, idvariably in advance. To any person sending the names of.fire new subscribers, cash in advance, an extra copy will be seut gratis. N. A. Foster.) J. T. Gilman, J N. A. Footer k Co., Publishers. J B. Hall.

VOLUME xli. TIIE FORTY-FIRST VOLUME OF THIS PAPER Will Commence July 29. All persons who now subscribe to the Mirror by paying £2 shall have a receipt to the close of Volume ending July 29, 1863—being almost a year and one quarter. We arc happy to announce Rev. Messrs. Pond, Shepard, Harris and Smith, Professors in Bangor Theological Seminary, as stated contributors to the columns of this paper. Tills paper is devoted to the diffusion of moral, re ligious, educational, and such other inteliigeuce as pertains to the welfare of society. Its foreign and domestic news is made up to the hour (Monday uoon) of going to press, and is suffi ciently general to meet the wants of those who take no other paper. The fourth page is appropriated to the most inter esting Literary, Scientific, and Commercial miscella ny that can be gathered. It has a department expressly for Children. It is intended to be 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 far* gest, the newest, even the best paper in the world: or that the Church and State would fall without it. We claim for the Mirror that it is a Christian paper. It aims to be a true reflector of Bible principle aud practice; 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 iuterest is inferior to that of no other paper, and its abstract of valuable articles in American and Foreign Quarterlies has supplied a place not filled by anv other religious print. If any want a paper that can safely be a companion on the Sabbath, that gives an unprejudiced view of public affair*, that aids to be a transcript of the age without identifying Itself with its errors, that chroni cles to minuteness religious and revival news, that holds firmly the doctrines and practice of a protes ted Christianity and can be safely put into the hands of the young, we ask them to take the CuiufrriAX Mirror. This being pre-eminently a Family Journal is one of the best channels for advertisements relating to Books, Kales, lA'gal Notices, and ail articles of general con sumption. W eekly papers generally, and especially religions ones, an* less likely to.be destroyed than those more secular—they are read more in families than I>ailie»— they are taken homo and preserved, to be examined at leisure—their contents are more thoroughly scan ned—and they are often sent to absent frieiidsto con vey to those abroad, some idea of the state of affiura at home. Tortlana, May, 1862. TESTIMONIALS. We subjoin some extracts from letters recently pub lished in our columns. From Professor* in Ilowdoin College. Other i*apers. published out of the limit* of the State, are useful; but they cannot be expected to take the place and to fulfill all the objects of a paper pub lished among ourselves. The Mirkor is well known to our religious people, and ha* been conducted by Mr. Lord, its present editor, with earnest Christian fidelity, with a high degree of ability, and at the same time in such a manner as to bring to light and to cher ish those local religious sympathies and interests,which can be reached only by a |«per published iu the State. From Rev. Dr. ('bickering. All necessity for two papers having ceased, we ought to hare one taken hi all our churches, as good as you and a hundred contributors can make it. The most patriotic and liberty-loving among us cannot complain of its tone in these stirring times; and I sometimes almost wish I were compelled to rely upon your weekly summary instead ot reading so inanv ex- j citing details in the daily papers. You tell us what we really need to know; and a great many things that we ought to do. From Rer. Dr. Carruther*. It contains a weekly summary of events written In I a lively style—criticisms, literary and moral, of great practical value—and such matter* of general and de- j iiominational interest as serve to keep its readers well j ‘posted up.’ If ministers and others, at different I points in oar large State, would be a little more com municative of local facts, they would greatly increase its intrinsic worth, aud proportionally enlarge its cir culation. [From Rev. Dr. Tappan.] In common with many others, I have earnestly de sired that we might hate in Maine, under the auspices of our denomination, but one religious newspaper, and I cannot but hope, that the Mirror, which 1 have taken from the beginning, and on many accounts have highly valued, may again secure general support, aud prove in its future course to be a paper in w Inch we can all unite. In most of the views expressed in relation to this subject, by Professor Pond, in the Mirror of this week, 1 fully concur. Your own of fer “to send it without charge to any who mav be de sirous of receiving it, till the meeting of the June (State] Conference iu Portland,” is fair and liberal.— You will permit me however to inquire whether It might not be well to send one number at least to every Congregational minister in the State, who is not now a subscriber, without waiting for an application, since, otherwise many may uot know that such a proposal lias been made. From Professors in Bangor Theological Seminary. From R(iv. Dr. Pond. We obviously need one good religions paper in Maine; and one (if it can be* made satisfactory,) fas enough. We need it, not only as a vhchicle of intel ligence and thought, but for the publication of no tices. aud the accomplishment of various local objects which cau be reached in no other way. I have been a subscriber for the Mirror and a constant reader of it for almost thirty years;— and though I have seen thing* In it occasionally which I did not like, (aa I do m most other papers!) still all candid readers must acknowledge that the Mirror has bees, from the first, the steadfast advo cate of liospel order and truth, and an important auxiliary in the great work of enlightening and evan gelizing'Maine. I will also say that I think the Mir ror has never been more ably and faithfully conduct ed than during the last few year*. The present editor devote* time, and thought', and labor to it, and suc ceed* in making it (wliat he has shown himself abundantly able to do) an interesting weekly visitaut to our families and homes. It -liould be farther considered, that some of the exciting questions which once threatened to divide us, are changing their form* aud losing their interest. They may give place to others, foraugnt we know, or may themselves come ap again; but at pre*,ent wo arm to hate got beyond them. The 3tiRr.oK is au unflinching supporter of the government of the United State* in its contest with the slavery rebellion. It is also a sincere friend to the colored race, and is ready to unite in all well considered efforts for their liberation aud advancement—though 1 am far from advising any one as to what, or how many religious papers he shall take, yet I will venture to promise that we make trial of the Mirror. As we ought to have and must have one religious paper in Mm* State, let ns take hold of this together; suboenbe for it, write for it, and endeavor to make it such as our churches require. Krona Professor D. T. Smith. It would Ik* difficult for me to express too strongly liow desirable on every account, it seems to ine to be that the Mirror should be well sustained. Now here is the influence of a pood religious newspaper more important than it is m Maine In no State is it more important that the Congregational churches should have an organ o* 'K’rown. Nor do I see how any reasonable v cs.ii tile without a distinct feeling of regret in regard to more or less of what it contains, that I cannot have it in a volume on my shelves where it will bo constantly at baud. From Kev. Drs. Bliepard and Harris. Mr. Loro. Drtir Sir.-—Permit ns to express our de sire that the Mniuou may receive the confidence and support of the members of ourchurch«*s and Congre gations in Maine. It is conducted with painstaking and ability. It is a judicious and earnest supporter of the doctrinc*s and polity of our churches, or their ■Menrj enterprise* MM their spiritual interests Its religious articles for family reading are choice. Its summary of news, though necessarily condensed, is comprehensive and well-digested. The occasions for difference res|H*ctiii£ the abdication of Christian truth to civil and social affairs are passing away, and Christian per has obvious advantages to Maine people, atavve cue pub lished abroad, and presents obvious claims to their support.

THE DAILY PKESS. PORTLAND, MAINBi Tuesday MorniUg, July 1, 1862.

REPUBLICAN NOMINATION. FOR GOVERNOR, ABNER COBURN, OF 8KOWHEGAN. The Kelt Governor of Maine. It will be no novelty for Maine to have her Executive chair filled by a man taken from the ranks of business life, and not from the legal profession. Wm. King, the first Governor of the State, and by many thought to lie first in more senses than one, was a merchant—a “Merchant Prince.” Gov. Anderson of IJel Ihst, was also a merchant, and made a very ac ceptable Chief Magistrate. Gov. Morrill— Anson P.—was a farmer and manufacturer. We are not aware that any material interests of the State have suffered in the hands of such men, more than in the hands of those “learned in the law.” Gov. Hubbard—a man admitted to lie incorrupt ilily honest—is a physician, anti now, siuce the roltcs of State have been laid aside by him, he has returned to his profession, and, we are told, is indefatigable in his labors at the bedside of suffering, to benefit and bless his fellow townsmen. It Is one of the peculiarities of our political system, that men of humble beginnings may rise to the most exalted station, while men who have filled positions of exalted trust may come down to the hublest acts, without sacrifice of honor or respect John Quincy Adams, after honoring the Presidential chair, did not feel above presiding as Moderator of a Quincy town meeting. “Honor and shame from ao condition rise; Act well your part, there all the honor lies." Abner Coburn, as we have before taken oc casion to say, is a business man. From early boyhood he has been the architect of his own fortune. No man on the Kennebec ltiver, probably, has had, or now has. more extensive business relations; and we are inforced by those who know him best, that his honesty has always been equal to his industry, and the lat ter quality has long been marked by all who have been familiar with him. lie is never idle, and yet he is not an avaricious man. Always prudent and economical, he has never been parsimonious, or larking in liberality towards any truly deserving object. Hut we did not commence this article to write a eulogy upon Mr. Coburn. He ueeds no such labor from us. In his hands the interests of the State will be safe. He has long been an active. ]>olitieian— not a mere partizan—and while his friends will charge him with no lack of fidelity to his party,his opponents honor and respect him. The following from the Augusta Age—a leading and influential Democratic paper—shows how he is regarded by honorable men of that party: Mr. Coburn enjoys the reputation of being a good business man.jBpriglit in his dealings, and In every respect* worthy citizen. In pol ities lie was formurly a whig, regarding the Republican party as the residuary lagatee of the former, be became a republican, by “des cent" Whether lie belongs to the radical or conservative wing of the party, we liave no means of knowing. ___A_ [For the Daily Frew General Fremont. Messrs. Editors :—I notice in your paper this morning, Monday. June 30th. a mild cen sure of Gen. Fremont for retiring from the service, on account of being superceded by Gen. Po|>e. Allow me to suggest, that tee have not the requisite informal ion to enable us to determine whether he had sufficient reasons for this course of action. The secret history of tlie war may never be written;—if it should be, the popular estimate of men would proba bly undergo a wonderful change. Meantime, let us remember, that General Fremont, holding a Major General's commis sion in the regular army, outranks every other officer in the country, with one or two excep tion* that he is now admitted to have organ ized the naval force on the Mississippi, which has giveti us every important victory in the AVest; that he was summarily removed from his command then*, when on the eve of a 1 tat tle that would have given us a complete tri umph in the Mississippi valley last year, saving millions of dollars, and thousands of lives; and that now, with a feeble force, inferior in num bers to the enemy, he lias just closed one of the most brilliant cain]iaigns of the war, as any one may see who will read the account of it by one who took part in it, published in the last Independent. Under such circumstances, the appointment of one from the volunteer service, holding a later commission, to take the com mand over him, was regarded by him as an imputation of want of ability on his part. Let us not be iu baste to condemn him. I do not think it does any good to find fault with the administration, even when we might. It is better to commend, as we often can. But it is a fact worth rememliering, for future use, that no man heretofore prominent in the Re publican party, has bad any chance to succeed. Baker was murdered, not so much by the ene my, as by those who sent him to his doom.— Banks was left to his fate, where the chances were that he would betaken, a result he barely escaped. Fremont was removed ou the eve of one victory, and is superceded on the morning of another. We may know, some day, the meaning of these things. For tlie Portland Daily Press. Maine Soldiers in the Hospital at Phila delphia. I visited the new Hospital at Philadelphia a few days ago, (in charge of Dr. Isaac I. Hayes, of Artie renown,) where I saw the following Maine soldiers in hospital: II. N. Gould, 5th regiment. Frank J. Hatch, 5th regiment. F. J. Shaw, 5th regiment, discharged. R. A. Wilborn, 5th regiment, discharged. A. A. Messer, 7th regiment. E. J. Kelley. 7th regiment. Martin McNally, 7tli regiment. Ezekiel Ilaekett, 7th regiment. John Magnet, 7th regiment. H. Doody, 7th regiment. W. P. Whitney, 7th regiment. These men had l»een taken down by sickness of the ramp. None of them had been wound ed in battle. They were all convalescent, in good spirits, and eager to join the service ill their respective regiments. John A. Poor. Temperance Convention. The friends of Temperance will meet at Kvrth Ncarbvrough this morning at 10 o’clock. We learn that ample arrangements have been made for a large meeting, and a cordial wel come will be given to all who may aitend. Correction.—In the announcement of Ex ecutive appointments last Saturday, the print ers made us say that Hon. John L. Cutter of Augusta had been appointed trustee of the In sane Hospital. We wrote, or intended to write it, John 1.. Cutler.

(From our Regular t'oiter-pondent.] Letters from the Backwoods of Maine. Ho. 2—Kineo to KatoMin. Dear Press:—The approach to Kineo Point, on which the hotel Is located, is one of the most charming portions of the lake. The mountain itself is quite near the Point, and has such abrupt sides that it seems. to overhang the water. The front is frowning in its dark licss, and the dark rock of which it is compos ed, is scarcely hidden or even fringed by the scanty growth of spruce and pine. On the whole, the mountain may be called unique.— There is no other like It in New England, in character or unusual location. It is in the very centre of the lake, on a promentory al most isolated from the main land, in fact con nected to it by a neck only a couple of rials wide. We of course come to it from the South, and as we round past the wharf, command the finest view of it. It is in this spot that Mr. Chenery of Massachusetts, caused to be erect ed a very comfortable house for the accommo dation of visitors. Mr. Crocker is now the landlord, and evidently does all in his jaiwer for the comfort of his patrons. We are re minded by the sign “Billiard Hall is in the west wing of the House," that we arc not yet out of the world and into the woods. From tills it would ap]a*ar that there arc still some who prefer “Phelan's cushions” to "Cushions of fain- hair-cap moss.” But let us, who revere the memory of Irving, attribute this Invasion of the sanctity of na ture, this anomaly ot billiards amid pines, to the influence of him who wrote of the miseries of “a wet day at a country inn.” To those who see it in this light, a good game of hip liarils is not a bad thing when the storm whis tles around Kineo so fiercely that the trout will not rise, and when there are no papers for a couple of days. At this house visitors can procure careful and faithful guides and good birches. Now this matter of birches is one which I suppose might be as well broached now as at any time. The birch canoe, as made by the Indians, is really the only feasible method of travelling on our rivers and lakes. Boats of other models and forms are either too fragile or too heavy, wliile the birch unites lightness to a considerable degree of strength. As the canoe is propelled by paddles, the mo tion is slightly lateral, but only slight The first thought of one who sails in a birch is that of the utter absence of anything like that stem to-stem quiver of the row-boat. I am mistak en. There is another thought which takes the precedence, and it is of getting upset. Hav ing no keel, and having such lightness, the ca noe tips over with the greatest ease when the passenger is careless about his balance, and the knowledge of this fact takes away some of the pleasure of the first sail. But notwithstanding their constant liability to overturn, I have nev er yet seen a canoe upset. Care is all that is required at first, and soon this care Is'comes a part our so-called “second nature,” prompting one to avoid anything like undue exposure or :n i_ *1...__ The time which elapses before we resume our sail to the head of the lake, will enable us to visit the summit of the mouutaih. The be ginning of the ascent is usually made on the western side of the spur, and it is undoubtedly the easier one. as the outer leads over a steep er foot-hold from the very plain. The entire mountain is composed, as geologists would say, of silieious slate or hornstone. It is of such a flinty character that it was employed by the aborigines in the manufacture of hunting knives and hatchets. No doubt a pretty good cutting utensil could lie made from the rock, if one had the inclination or the patience to chip it into the proper form. Near the summit of the hill is a never failing spring of watcrer part a steamboat landing, where our traps will lie placed ready for the “carry.” And now we have to bid adieu to the steamer, and, with it, farewell to all war news for some time. This is no slight word to speak at such a stirring time as this, when the sword anil bayonet are writing history: when, in fact.'we of the north are endeavoring to achieve a second indepen dence. C’apt. Robinson wishes us “a pleasant voyage and no black flies.” At the landing. stands Mr. Young, with his outlandish cart and a queer looking quadruped with splay feet. After our provisions, our lurches, and our knapsacks are placed on the platform car, we have u moment to look about us. The portage is a a rail-carry, made of spruce stringers, or beams, and with poles laid lengthwise between, for a pathway to the ox. This accounts for the sprung knees and broad feet of the creature, for he has had a walk on these rails for a good many years, and thefoot hold must be very uncertain. “Is that creature an oetogenuariau asks our friend Quip, of whom we shall see more liefore we get to Ka tahdn. “No, ’tain’t exeetly that,but it's an ox, au’ lie’s more’n twenty years old.” For twenty years has this ox, solitary and alone, walked over this now dilapidated carry, and he prob ably walked more soberly now than in the days ot his youth, for it is impossible to imagine a slower traveller than he. But after a while we reach the farmhouse, and the terminus of the “two-mile railcurry,” as the charter calls it.— Here, then, it is necessary to get one more good night’s rest, in a bed, for to-morrow night we sleep on the ground. G. ”jp* It is said that a lx-ar made his appear ance in the village at Bethel Ilill, a few days ago. An Ojrford Bear, we suppose. [From onr Regular orrMpondcnt.] Letter from Presqne Isle. Fire in lie Woods—Recruiting Office—Dead Man Alice—„Vnr Ihdlding. PnEaQl'E Isi.e, June 20th, 1S02. Kdilnrx Porllaml Daily Precs :—Yours of the Kith Is received. I will look after the re port of the convention, and see that it is mailed to you on Saturday morning. We are not having much news nowadays. Since the Herald “closed up,” we have to go dry for that article. We had a nice little rain last night and to-day—almost the first of the season. The fanners were crying out for rain! rain! saying that unless we had rain in a few days, crops would be nearly ruined. Last Tuesday, 17th inst., we were very much alarmed by fire, which was discovered in the woods, south of the village, on the Presque Isle stream. The wind was fair to blow the fire di rectly on to the village, and it looked as fright ful as It did two years ago, when it did so much damage. It flamed into the tops of the trees, and came with all the wildness of a hurricane. Every one was watching his own property, seeing that the fire did not catch and get the upper hands of him. We thought, of course, that the fire would come to the edge of the woods, which are near C. F. A. Johnson's build ings. and ifil did, it would be hard to save them, and should they bum, the whole village must surely go. But fortunately the wind suddenly changed to the west, and drove the fire direct ly across the road and near Mr. Thomas Ken nedy's buildings. Mr. K. would have lost his buildings had he not been reinforced by citi zens of the village, who. seeing his dangerous situation, wended their way through the smoke and fire to his assistance. While there fighting the fire, they discovered coming from the woods a number of rabbits, one or two loup ccrvicrs, and a la-ar, apparently very much frightened. Mr. Bruin looked around a few minutes, and departed into the woods, say ing not a word. Lieut, llovey Austin has opened a recruiting office in this village, and has recruited a num ber of stout, able-bodied men for the 10th Maine. Lorenzo U. Jlill, orderly sergeant of Compa ny E, 1st Maine Cavalry, who was reported as known to be killed while in the retreat of Gen. Iiunks’ Division, arrived home one week ago to-night, very unexpectedly to his friends Monday night they got news of his death, and Wednesday’* mail brought a letter from him saying he was all right, and Friday he got home. It seemed to his parents and sister like one almost risen from the dead. He will stay at home two or three weeks, when hi' will re turn to his company. He says he is anx ious to give them (the rebels) another charge. Dr. G, H. Freeman is building an office on Maine street between the stores of W. Hall and C. F. A. Johnson. “Down Easter.” More Iron Clads. We gave last week an account of the iron clad vessels now building for our Navy on the Atlantic coast; and it appears that the gov ernment is also actively at work on our west ern waters in preparing there additional iron clad vessels, which will be so constructed as to act Ixith for river and habor defences. The guilts tat Essex which made .as gallant a light at Fort Henry under command of apt. W. D. Porter as did her namesake under his father in the Pacific, is now about to In' chang ed to a double decked lM>at, and to carry three nine-inch, one ten inch, two rifled flfty-|H>und ers, and four thirty-two pounder guns. She is to be ready for service by the middle of July. Capt. Porter has taken out a patent for what j he considers, utter due experiments, a decided improvement on iron clad ships; he corrugates j or bends the plates, so that the whole plate will j rebound at the stroke of a shot, and under the plates places stri|is of india-rubber one. and a ipiurter inches thick. In uddition to the alteration of the Essex, the Navy De|*artinent are building two large and powerful gunboat* at Carondelet, near St. Louis, after plans furnished by Capt. Porter, i The largest, the Fort Henry, is to In? 285 feet j long, side wheel, with engines of forty inch cylinders und twelve feet stroke; she is to have an iron beak, and her great power will enable I her to In- used as a ram as well as a lighting ship. She will carry ten guns of heavy cali bre. The Choctaw is to lx* of the same size, Ac., as the Fort Henry, but to lx? surmounted with a shot prf conical dome the shell of which is to be stationery, while the interior platform upon which two guns are to be placed, is to ro- I late, and so arranged as to tire in any direct ions and at any angle. The Fort Henry is to L-ost about $80,000 and the Choctaw $75,000. i Two Other gunboats after old models are also building at Carondelet. Canceb ik THE Mouth—Smokixo.—Gen tlrmen :—I notice in the Press of Friday morning a short paragraph from the .Salem Obscrrer. relating to death from cancer in the mouth, caused by excessive smoking. From the Observer’s manner of putting the case, it might, |s-rhaps, be inferred to is- something new. It is not new. however. This disease, the result of smoking, has long been known; and a terrible disease it is. It is attended with intense anguish, and, judging from what 1 have known and heard aliout it, is generally fatal. I was intimately acquainted w ith a gentleman of tlie bench, who killed himself in this way. He was then, if my memory does not mislead me, about sixty-tlve years of age. He was perfectly well aw arc of the cause of Ids trouble, yet so deadly a gripe had the habit of smoking got upon him, that notwithstanding the terri ble pain he suffered, lie could not fling it off. Onheblot. ,jy llie Ferryman at Sullivan Ferry, Han cock County, is a thorough Union man, ami allows no Secesh talk on hoard his craft. In the Ellsworth American he relates an incident of recent occurrence, of an ex-office holder, lust year a Ureekenridge man, who was cross ing the briny billows in his boat, and garulous troin spiritual influence, or not fully under standing the difference between a loyal peo ple and a people of u semi-secession cast, “let on" rather uncautiously in favor of the rebels Says the ferryman: “I very politely informed him that my boat carried only loyal passen gers, and if he persisied in upholding treason able rebels, and ill decrying the Union cause. I would swamp the boat and him with it, in the middle of the river. He shut up simp at once.” Tin- Farmington Chronicle says that Mrs. Carrie Craig died in that village last Sat urday morning, of diptheria. Her husband died four days liefore of the same diseases. Chubc'II Soi.i>.—The Skowhcgan Clarion understands that the Congregational Church on the South Side lias been sold and is to lie takeu down and converted into a stable for the Skowhegun House. “To what base uses,” &c wr-A correspondent of the army of the Potomac, says that Company I, 7th Regiment, which came from Aroostook. has made its mark.” The writer says “no braver men can be found in the army than are in Co. I.” "|F 'Br. Littlefield of the Clarion boasts of his new ilress. We think his appearance is Unproved thereby. ORIGINAL AND SELECTED. Z Yesterday morning we printed a large edition of the Presa, but it was entirely ex hausted before half past eight A. M., and large numbers were called for which we could not supply. We will do the best we can to meet all demands in future. |T“A friend of ours, who has had some ex perience, desires to obtain a situation as editor of a country newspaper. His ability to till such a position is unquestioned. t#” A letter trom a friend in New Orleans says: “New Orleans is quiet and orderly. A Union sentiment is developing itself daily* News from Texas is that the Union men of that State are rising against the bogus confed erate government.” Tub Daily Kennebec Journal made its last appearance last Saturday. The proprie tors say that the “experiment proves impracti cable,” and that “whenever, in the judgment of practical busiuess men, proper encourage ment is given to justify the enterprise, they may recommence its publication.” It is a lit tic singular that the capital of the State and the two thriving cities of Gardiner and Hal lowed cannot support one daily iui|>er. We arc sorry to lose the Daily Journal, and hope to see it revived at no distant day.

Its college is one of the institu tions of the land, aud its water-power—if prop ly improved—would be found a mine of wealth.

MATTERS ABOUT TOWS. Portland Custom House.—In conse quence of Uie increase of business at tliis point, especially in the Warehouse Department, there being now nearly forty warehouses here for the storage of dutiable goods, the Secretary of the Treasury has appointed a Storekeeper to take the especial charge of the warehouse's, in place of an Inspector as heretofore. We learn that this appointment has been given to Mr. Samuel R. Leavitt, late Inspector,— the compensation being the same as that of Inspector. Deacon James Crik, who was an Occasional Inspector, has been appointed In spector in Mr. Leavitt’s place, and our well known fHend Joshua Dunn, Esq., has been appointed Occasional Inspector in Mr. Crie’s place. They all entered upon their new duties Unlay. The Oi.d Oaken Bucket.—Perhaps one of the most noticeable features of the coming 4th of July celebration, will be the “Old Oak en Bucket” in course of construction by the Sons of Temperance. The idea is, to repre sent the farm-house well, surrounded with its rooss-covered curb, and surmounted by the old fashioned sweep reminding one of the “scenes of our childhood.” The ladies of East ern Star Division will represent the thirty-four States of the Union, and others the three car dinal virtues of the order—Love, Purity and Fidelity. The committee of Sons having the matter in charge, are hard at work and are determined to make a tine display to the credit of their order. Baptism.—Rev. D. W. Graham, of the Cas co Street Church, baptized several persons Sunday noon, at the Back Cove. The hand of fellowship was administered at the church. We are happy to believe that the F. W. B. So ciety is prospering. Oub Crisis.—Rev. Mr. Clarke of the Ches nut Strict church, delivered an interesting lecture Sunday afternoon, on The Dealings of Providence in our National Crisis.” It was a scholarly production and so well received, that we doubt not its re-delivery before the public would be much appreciated. iry-Thc Odd Fellows,” made even by a lietter-half accompaniment, we suppose, propose to visit Bath on the 8th inst. on a grand pleasure excursion. See their notice in another column. The Floral Show.—We would remind our readers of the Horicultural Society’s exhi bition of flowers anil fruit at Mechanics' Hall, to open at 2 o’clock this afternoon. Should the weather prove propitious, a fine show may be ex fiected. Insured.—We learn from parties immedi ately interested, that the bakery building de stroyed by fire on Sunday morning last was insured for $4150, of which amount $500 was insured at John E. Dow’s, Piscataquis Co., the balance, $150, being at Noyes’ Agency. Upon the machinery, ovens and fixtures the amount of $500 was insured, also by the Piscataquis Co., and a farther amount of $100 at Noyes’ Agency. The inti-rest of Mr. Bryant in the small dwelling house contiguous was fully cov ered by insurance at McCobb’s Agency. Loss but trifling. One or more of the policies cov ering the above still remain in the hands of the agents, not having been delivered to the own er or paid for. The cold storm of yesterday must have lieen as discouraging to the ambition of young and tender plants, in their laudable effort* to rise in the world, as it was depressing to the spirits of humanity cribbed up in confined of fice*. without the genial influence imparted from a glowing grate. We endured and tri umphed over the depression; we hope the plants were equally victorious over the dis couragement Improvement.—We are informed that the efficient Superintendent of the Kennebec A Portland Railroad, designs fitting twosmoking cars for that road within a few weeks. It is designed, we believe, to take two passenger cars and fit them up for this purpose, leaving in one end of each, ample accommodations for the PostofBcc department. A Railroad Scene. A day or two since we happened to step into the care at a station in a town, not a thousand miles from Bruns wick A family, evidently of foreign birth, had just taken theirseat* and several “friend*" were standing near, who had come to the “keere to sec ’em off.” The family consisted of a middle aged man, his wife and “chillier*." Just lie fore the train startl'd the “friends,” one after another kissed first the man, then the childcre, and lastly the ruddy faced matron. They evi dently relished the last one best, for there was a distinct report, loud enough to be heard by all the passengers, each time their lips met lier’s It was “a solemn and interesting occa sion.” »r The lecture of Mrs. Goddard, at the New City Hall, last evening, notwithstanding the unpropitious state of the weather, was well attended, and the audience appeared to lie much interested in her statements regarding the present war, aud all of its asteudant hor rors. This lady in her quiet and Samaritan way of doing good, opened largely the heart* of her hearers, as well as their purses, and by her recital of the many hardshi|is und priva tions of our brave defenders, touched many a chord of sympathy in the hearts of those, who now feel stimulated to fresh exertions in behalf of the sick and wounded soldiers of the old Pine Tree State. LATEST BY EVENING PAPERS. Battle around Richmond. New York, June 30, ft A. M. Tlie Tribune 1ms just issued an extra with despatches from the battle Held Sunday morn ing. The despatch states that a severe and most determined battle was fought on the right wing, on Thursday and Friday, which is claiin ep by some of our officers as a successful ami strategic movement into which the enemy un wittingly had been drawn, and which will aoon result in the capture of Richmond anil the en tire rcls'l army. The attack was made by the enemy in im mense force, who crossed the Chickahominy alxrve Mechanicsvllle Thursday afternoon.— They fought desperately, but were unable to drive our men a single rod, though the enemy were ten to one. Tlie only force engaged that day was Gen. McCall's division, which fought from 2 o’clock until ft P. M., when it was ordered back. Gen. McClellan was present, and expressed satisfac tion at the result The enemy in large force made the attack aliou* 2 P. M., and advanced with determined couiage over the n iry ground in front of our lines, hut they were literally mown down by our terrific Are, and retired. On Friday the cannonading was terrific, and the roar of musketry cannot be described.— The last desis-rate effort of the enemy this day forced tiie Union men back to the low ground lietween the hill and bridge, and a panic was almost inevitable, when Meagher’s brigade of Irishmen came over the hill, stripped to the ban- arms. They gave a terrific yell and pitched in like tigers. The enemy retired. A reliel major was taken prisoner by Count de Paris. He states that the whole of Stone wall Jackson’s army were here, and in the at tack on our right. The relx-ls had from 80,000 to 80,000 troops. The loss of life is large on both sides. The artillery of both Porter's and Smith’s division piled the rebels in heaps, and during the whole battle I lie carnage u as terrific. TELEGRAPHIC TO TUE PORTLAND DAILY PRESS. PARTICULARS OF TIIE FICiUT AROUND RICHMOND. FIGHT AT VIXBURGH. Landing of Burnside. RICHMOND ON FIRE. Philadelphia, June 30. The following is the conclusion of the Balti more acount of the recent affair before Rich mond. Washington, June 29. Since closing my letter from White House, I find myself very unexpectedly in Washington city, and in posession of most reliable information from W hite House and other points on the j>e ninsulii, nearly a day later than is contained in my letter. It appears that telegraph communication be tween White House and Gen. McClellan was not broken until near 1 o’clock on Saturday and then the wire was cut at the dispatch station 11 miles out. Tunstnll station, four miles out, was in our jtossession until 4 o’clock in the after noon, at which hour the operator mt White House heard a stange signal coming over the wire; on going to the instrument he was herald ed with what the Union soldiers call the rebel national salute “I say, O you of a,” this was the signal given for final evacuation, when a portion of the infantry forces went immediately on board the steamboat in waiting for them. The last of the transports was moved off by steam tugs and a few articles scattered about on shore. The whole was of small value, and thus of the many millions worth of projierty here a few days ago, perhaps $50,000 worth was de stroyed. In the midst of this closing scene in the beautiful Chickahominy region, 1 regret to have to state that some vandal set fire to W'hite House and it was entirely consumed. The enemy made his appearance in considera ble force at the W hite House at 7 o’clock, and though he neither found bread for man nor hay for beast, was welcomed with heavy showers of grape shot from the gungoats which were rang ed in front of the landing. They were supposed to be 30,000 strong, and unless they brought their havesacks must have gone sup|»erless to bed. In the best of times l found starvation staring mein the face at White House, and I hope the rel>els found no letter fare. The cavalry at the White House guarded the departure of the last wagons and horses which moved off at the final evacuation and joined the forces of Gen. Soneman who were moving in the vicinity all day. After passing these trains, securing their safety, Stoneruan moved off in a direction that I am not at liberty to state. Gen. Casey reborts that he lost not a man nor did he leave a soul behind, not even a contra band. At 10 o’clock on Saturday morning Col. lugalls and Ca^it. Saw telle were before lork town with an immense convoy of vessels and steamers, on their way to their new base of o]>e rations on James River. They would move down to Fortress Monroe and wait the instruc tions of Gen McClellan. A number are however already up the James River under the protection of the gunboats. Since an early hour on Saturday morning, Gen. McClellan has been deprived of his tele graphic communication with W ashington. He abandoned its use before the wires were cut, doubtless being fearful that the enemy might by placing a magnet on the wires, read his orders. Direct communication with Gen. McClellan is now being opened, however,by the gunlioats up the Chickahowiuy, and will soon be right in this respect. Philadelphia, 30. The correspondent of the Baltimore American thinks the object of Gen. McClellan was to aban don White House and draw iu his in his right wing across the Chickahominy, which he ac complished with little loss in comparison with the punishment he gave the enemy, thus strengthing his position, and changing the base of operations to James river. Boutnern items. Memphis, June 28. Jeff. Davis in a letter to Gov. Drown of Geor gia, defendstheconscription law ascunstitutional and absolutely indispensible to the maintenance of the rebel armies. The Grenada Appeal of the 23d learns that the fedcralB, to the number of 20 gunboats and mortars, o)>encd at an early hour that morning on the lower batteries at Vicksburg. The result is not stated. Van Dorn is in command there, having su|>erceded Lovell in that department. A letter to same paper, from Chattanooga, says we have direct news this morning tdat the federal* are falling back before our advancing columns; while this is going on Mi’chell is mov ing on our rear in the vicinity of Battle Creek. The Appeal of the 25th says Gen. Van Dorn has advised all the families to move eight miles hack from the river. He intends to defend that de tment to the last extremities. same paper says that on Hat unlay last, the federal fleet in tow of tng boats was repuls ed at Grand Gulf by the rebel batteries of o and 12 pounders. The same day the gunboats at Vicksburg opened a brisk lire on the batteries which con tinued over an hour without doing any injury. Of affairs in Arkansas, the Appeal says that the rapid movements of Gen. Hindman has al most rid the State of Curtis, and that they have succeeded in driving him a short distance of the Missouri line and was still retreating. At an election in this city, John Park, the Union candidate received 724 votes being all the votes cast. The Memphis Avalanche has been notified by the Provost Marshal that an editorial yesterday is exceedingly obnoxious and that criticisms of the military officers cannot be allowed. It is warned not to rcjicat the offence. The news from the floatilla is highly interest ing. (Jur gunboats and rams had passed the mouth of the Yarow rive and proceeded to with in four miles of Vicksburg from which point seven men went by land on the Louisiana side and communicated with Com. Frragut’s fleet. The Com. has since sent a dispatch to Captain Davis, which reached Memphis on Saturday af ternoon. t apt. Davis immediately started down the river with the Benton, and other vessels of the floatilla will follow. Various Matters. New York, June 30. Ittimor says that sonic officers from Gen. Mc Clellan's headquarters report that during the re treat of the right wing Gen. McClellan advanc ed his left wing some five miles to an eminence, where a quantity of charcoal was being used to heat shot for Richmond, of which place the |k> sition is within shelling distance. ltumor also says that Gen. Uurnside has land ed in the rear of Fort Darling, and all his avail able troops were ready to attack it. *An officer gives a report that Richmond is al ready ou fire from hot shot. These reports are given without vouching for their credibility. Nashville, June 30. Dr. Cheatham, Superintendent of the l.unutic Asylum was sent to the penitentiary for treason. Fourteen hundred federal prisoners, taken at Shiloh and paroled, were sent home to-day. A large quantity of cotton has just beer re ceived. New York Items. New York, June 30. The West Point correspondent of the Post Btates that it was reported there that our pickets were driven in on the afternoon of the Alith at White House, and that the shipping had all been sent to West Point from White Housc A rebel captured states that Hciiuregard had arrived at Richmond with the main portion of his army; that 3000 men had been sent to rein force Jackson, ami that the latter would at once attack the right flank of our army, while Lee would make an attack in front. The Philadelphia Inquirer states that the sol diers by the steamer State of Maine report that when they left White House it was lielieved the advanced guard of Jackson hail driven in our pickets 5 miles off, while his main body was 10 miles in the rear. A Union regiment, and all sick at W hite House able to bear arms, were at once ordered out. Word was sent to Casey’s division, and all the tree- on the Pamuukey riv er cut down to give play to the batteries of the gunboats. All stores ami munitions were sent on board IriiutqKirts, which were anchored in the stream under the protection of gunboats. The steamer Northern Light, from Aspiuwall 21st, an ived ttaie afternoon with 50 passengers anil JM00.000 in treasure. The news from the Isthmus is unimportant, A sjiccial despatch to the Tribune says the Union ram fleet was -'ft Vicksburg on the 20th inst; communicated with Com. Farragut, who was to attack the place on Friday. Twenty ves sels were in jiosition, and Farragut was confident of victory. The rebel force is estimated at 12, 000. It is reported that Farragut hail destroyed the town of Warrington. The cotton was saved along the river. Gen. Curtis is in a perilous position in Arkansas, the rebel Gen. Lains being in his rear with 15,000 men. The gunboat Ar kansas is aground in the lasso river. There is greit distress ami alarm in the South.

Keep Dry oxsi mption Nox-pli sskd. j —We have seen the Esquimaux in their wet- weather habiliments, anil have often ailinireil their style of keeping the wet out; but we must I confess to having lx*en taken somewhat aback, yesterday morning, at beholding one of the "fare jsek” arrayed in a costume very similar, hut much neater and of a better fabric than that worn by the Arctic Indians. Arrayed in a neat silk water-proof skirt,—bonnet and cape of the same material, together with handsome rubber 1 loots, (excuse us.) this lady has set a fashion, which we hope to see copied by every “female woman” in Portland. With such like precautions, the graveyard gates would yawn less frequently, and fewer angels lose sight of earth to lint! a paradise in heaven, Ladies! watch the climate! The Foubth at IIoultox.—We learn from the Timex, that the first exhibition of the Aroostook Society for the improvement of hor ses, will take place in that town on the 4th of July. The Society has incurred heavy ex pense in purchasing and fitting up its trotting i park. Liberal premiums are offered, and we have no doubt but that the “down east” boys will have a good time. “Good order,” says the Timet, “will be enforced, and no liquors of any kind will bo permitted on the grounds or. in the immediate vicinity.” If no liquors are permitted, there will probably be “lielc her's' during the races. Boys, Read This!—In looking over a late paper, we noticed an accident as having oc curred from the foolish practice of throwing stones, whereby a tine little lad was sent home to heaven by a larger boy, who, in wanton sport, fractured his temple by a stone. Boys, if you w ill indulge in this foolish habit, go and shut yourselves up in some barn, and there throw your elbows out of joint, but never try the David and Goliah practice in our public streets. Zft' The Charleston Mercury, fearing that the city will fall into the hands of the federal troops, has removed its large Hoe press to Columbia—-far in the interior—and is now is sued half-sheet size. Cy The Price Current of this city says that, under the new Tax Dill jest passed, the amount of taxes for one day’s production of a manufactory in this city, when at its fullest capacity, will amount to $340.00 a day, or $124,100.00 per annum. Toots.—The Topus Spring near Gardiner, seems to be attracting its usual share of atten tion tills season, and Beals’ Hotel, under the direction of Mr. K. Byrnes, is probably quite as attractive as the .Spring itself. It is quite certain that Mr. B's entertainments are not near “so bad to take” as the sulphurous water ot the Spring. D aily Evening News.—We have received the first number of the Daily Evening News published in Bangor by Bartlett Burr, and edited by .Joseph Bartlett, Esq., whose name is sufficient guarantee that the paper will be ably conducted. It is a small sheet but well filled and tastefully printed. It has our best wishes for its success. From Burnside’s Expedition. A Correspondent of tha Boston Journal wrifing from Burnside’s expedition under date of June 25, furnishes the following letter from Mr. Colyer, who had returned rrorn the North and been reinstated as Superintendent of the Poor. The writer says:—Mr. Colyer requests me to publish the following:— New bern, N. C., June 24. To the Eilltor of Ihr Host on Journal: In accordance with the request of Ilis Ex cellency Gov. Stanley, I wish it published that I misunderstood his Excellency; that lie nev er intended to put In force The' laws of North Carolina; and that until he receives explicit instructions from the Government at Washing ton, D. C., he w ill not interfere with my schools for colored children, nor return fugitive slaves to their masters. Accordingly 1 make this statement with the sineerest pleasure and grati tude to a good Providence. Vintent Colyer, Superintendent of the Poor. The same correspondent gives the follow ing:— SERVED niM RIGHT. I On the evening following the grand review of this army corps by Gen. Burnside, the Gen. was serenaded by several regimental bands, 1 and there was a large gathering of soldiers and citizens in front of the headquarters. Enthu siasm was at its higlit when some one called for three cheers for (Jen. Burnside. Hardly luul the words escaped the lips of the patriotic individual, ere there was a universal shout of applause, which rung three times three in al most deafening tones. As the sounds died aw ay, a person who resides in this city but who had not made the acquaintance of our General, remarked iu a loud tone, that you had better give three cheers for Jeff. Davis than for old Burnside.” The foolish fellow ought to have known it was unnafr to remark thus to such a gathering, where every soldier would take it as a personal affair. Perhaps lie would n 4 have made the remark had lie known that one of Rhode Island’s best soldiers was pa-sing him at that moment. CapL Bel ger, of Battery F, however he might tolerate a personal assault, was too indignant to let such a disloyal remark pass unnoticed, and ere a score of others who rushed that way could get at the friend of Jeff. Davis,the Captain’s heavy hand came in eonfcict with the side of the fel low's head with a motive power calculated to multiply his vision of celestial I ms lies ten fold. With a sententious “Oh!” seeeah went down, but when he arose again Capt. Belger, curbing his w rath, delivered him over to an officer who tiMik him safely away. Subsequently, 1 understand, the General had an interview with this disloyal citizen, giving him a piece of ad vice that may is- beneficial to him. The man hits remarked that lie was mistaken in the dis position of General Burnside, and he evinces a reformation since the acquaintance. ICE FOR THE SOLDIERS. A schooner load of ice has arrived here which was forwarded by funds raised in Wor cester, Mass., and Providence, R. I. By order of the General a supply is to be given to the hospital at Beaufort, where most of the siek are now quartered, and the remainder is to be proportionately divided between the 25th Mas sachusetts and the 4th and 5th RhtMle Island Volunteers. Ice is a great luxury here—it is ho warm. Scout. _AMUSEMENTS. __ ODD FELLOW'S’ EXCUESION.

_POETRY._ I do not Like to Hear Him Pray* I do not like to hear him pray, Who loans at twenty-live percent., For that I think the borrower may Be pressed to nay for food and rent; And in that boolc we all should heed, Which savs the lender shall te blest; As tore as t have eye* to read. It does not say, “take interest.” I do not like to hear him pray, On bended knees altout an hoar, For grace to spend aright the day, Who knows his neighbor has no flour; I’d rather see him go to mill And buy his luckless brother bread, And see his children eat their Hll, And laugh beneath their humble shed. I do not like to hear him pray, “Let blessings on tlie widow- lie!” Who never seeks her home to say, “If want o’ertake you come to me!” I hale the prayers so loud and long, That's uttered for the “orphan’s weal” By him who sees him crashed by wrung, And only with the lips doth feel. I do not like to hear him pray, With face so long as any rail, Who never means his debts to pay; Because he can’t be put in jail; For caution asks the w ritten bond, But friendship trusts the world alone, And he’s a knave where’er he's found, Who never comes the debt to own. I do not like to hear her pray, With jeweled ears and silken dress. Whose washer-woman toils all day. And then is asked to “work for Jess.” Such pious shavers I despise; With folded hands ami air demnre. They lift to heaven their “angel” eyes, Then steal the earnings of the poor! I do not like such soulless prayers; If wrong, I hope to be forgften; No angel’s wings them upward hear— They’re lost a million miles from lleav’n. I do not like long prayers to hear, And, studied, from the lips depart— Our Father lieuds a ready ear— Let words be few—he 'hears the heart _MISCELLANY._ Signs and Symptoms Matrimonial. When a man is exceedingly willing to give his wile money to go down town shopping— when he is porteutiously officious in helping her off, and declares that he don’t think it is going to rain, even when the pavements are sprinkled with the wrathful drop-, we don't be lieve in him—we are morally convinced that he lias got some piece of private mischief on hand. When you come home you w ill lie cer tain to find your pet pair of scissors broken, your little tack hammer dislocated, and the floor covered with pine shavings and crooked nails. Some atrocious shelf erected to hold his slippers and ink-bottle, where your rocking chair was won't to nestle, or some rheumatic ‘‘stand,'’ poised on three rickettv legs, and en tirely independent of the fourth, to which he calls your attention as a pretty ornament for your parlors, prolwhly account for his amiahle anxiety. When a man declares that he likes carpentering, keep the hammer and nails locked up, as you value your peace of mind—a carp entering hushaud is worse t han an epileptic one! When your husband calls for a needle and thread “just to put a stitch Into the collars of his new shirts," don’t humor him. Offer to make ail the necessary repairs yourself, but don't trust him with the work-basket,any soon er than you would trust your baby with a Con r leopard. A man's ingenuity at altering perfectly indescribable—no human creature can ever after get into a shirt on which a man has been trying his needle-hand. He will prick his fingers, fracture your thimble, chew up your wax, ruin the material, and finally— ungrateful mortal—show the transmogrified garments to his bachelor friends, as a specimen of your needlework, and assert under your very eyes and nose that you never yet made his shirts to lit! When he says the coffee is “excellent, my love prepare yourself for something thriller. He is probably paving the way for the appall ing announcement that he means to go on a yachting excursion to-iuorrow with .Tones and Jackson. When he says that you look "young er than ever with your hair arranged in that way," he only intends to coax you to postpone house-cleaning indefinitely. When he says, incidentally, that he wonders you don't keep pels, like other ladies—that lie should think, for instance, you would like a pretty little dog. you may l»e sure that he has got some ill-couditioncd eur, domesticated at his office, who lias scratched up the carpet, and tom up the newspapers, and flown at eve ry one who comes in. until it can't be tolerated any longer. When he comes home with the toothache, make up your mind to Is? meeker than Moses, and more patient titan Job. He ready to wait on him uncomplainingly, and if you take the whiskers off his face with mustard piasters, and the skin off his throat with lioiling sage tea, so much the iletter. A man with the toothache is only to he subdued by desperate measures! When lie brings home a new flute, and a box of "prime Havanas," and a writing-desk, and a gay silk dressing-gown, you may expect a dissertation on “liard timps.” He has proba bly lent a hundred dollars to some wretch, who will flood the house with second-hand meerschaums and Colt’s revolvers for three months to come, by way of payment! When he exhibits a disagreeable inclination to get into the kitchen, and imagines that he can boil |x>tatocs and fry ham "as well as any petticoat of’em ail." set the kettle of hot water so that it will chance, to tip over on his legs, and contrive the ash-pans so that he may acci dentally stumbie over their gray treason*- once in a while. If tnis don’t cure him, he must be made of abestos I When he examines the pockets of his vest be fore he hangs it up, it is more titan prolutble that there is a surreptitious cigar bill, or a letter from somebody about some old debt that he don’t mean you shall know anything of, con cealed on the premises. Don’t say a word, hut keep on the yui title, and if vou don’t make some discovery or other, it will be very singu lar. The (act is, that there never was a man so deep but that a woman was more than his match. Since the days of Mrs. Isaac. Samson and Delilah, the ladies have held their own.— There's no kind of necessity for matrimonial collusions. Keep the wires oiled and well out of sight—dont la1 blinded by hypocritical ami ability and maneuvers. When your domestic ostriches run and hide their heads in the sand, pretend they an* entirely beyond your ken.— Watch the signs and symptoms and yon won’t fail to weather the storms.—|Mrs, Geo. Wash ington Wyllis. Rebel Text.—The Nashville Union pub lishes the following “Religious Notice, the “point” of which our readers will not fail to see: “We are requested to announce that the next clerical meeting at the Capitol will tie opened with a sermon by Mekkz Akmageddon Ske daddle Baldwin, from the text, ‘Let us run w ith patience the race set before us.' Seats free, and no hat passed round!” No better text could Ik* selected, unless, per haps, the following detached passages: “Judas went out and hanged himself—go thou and do likewise!”—|Hallowell Gazette. Good.—'“Who made yon asked a teacher of a lubber of a boy, who had lately joined her class. “I don’t know," said he. “Don’t you know You ought to be asham ed of yourself, a boy fourteen years old Why there is little Dicky Fulton—he is only three— he can tell, 1 daresay. Come here, Dicky: who made you “God,” said the infant. “Well, he oughter." said the stupid boy, 'tain t but a little while since he was made." The shallowest understanding, the rudest hand, is equal to the task of destroying or pulling down. Folly and rage can demolish more in an hour, tlian prudence, deliberation, and foresight, can build up in a hundred years. “Annie.” asked an ardent swain of a pretty girl, “do you love your mother?” “O. indeed I do!' was tile answer. “Well, then, will you give me a kiss lor her sake the lover asked. “No, John, I can't do that; but you may kiss me for your mother’s sake.” And the young man did. There is no funeral so sad to follow as the funeral of our own youth, which we have been pampering with fond desires, ambitious hopes, nnd Jill the bright berries that hang in poison ous clusters over the prime of life. In good society, we arc required to do ol> liging things to one another; in genteel society we are required only to say them. ■■■■maanmMnaanaaB———a———— THE MARKETS. Portland Wholesale Prices Current.

Courage Invalids CLEMS’ SUMMER CURE —AMD— Howes’ Cough Pills, By the concurrent testimony of many sufferers, the fact has been established, that for the cure of DIARRIKEA OR DYSENTERY In persons of all ages, no medicine has ever come to the knowledge of the public, that so effectually does it work and at the same time leaves the bowels'in an active, healthy condition, as CLEM'S SUMMER CURE. That for Children Cutting Teeth, if troubled with Diarrhoea or any irregularities of the bowels, all oth er remedies are insignificant, as compared with CLEM'8 SUMMER CURE. That for Children troubled with Canker in mouth or stomach, or mothers suffering from nursing sore mouth, a safe and speedy cure is elft-cted by the use of CLEM'S SUMMER CURE. That for Coughs, Hoarseness and Bronchial affect ions, there is no remedy extant that so universally affords relief as HOWES' COUGH PILLS. That for a Tightness or Wheezing in the Chest, Pains in the side, or a long standing Hack, the best remedy is HOWE’S COUGH PILLS. That as an expoctorant and ameliorating agent in cases of Phthisic, Whooping Cough, and Confirmed Consumption, the public have already rendered their united verdict in favor of HOWES’ COUGH PILLS. CLEM'S SUMMER CURE is a pleasant, agreeable decoction of Roots and Barks, and contains not a particle of Opium or Druo of any sort. It always docs good, and never does harm.
