COMMUNICATIONS. Army correspondence of the I’rere. Letter from James River, Va. Camp 5th Maine,Turkey Brunch, I (Near James River) Va., July 4,1862. Editors Press :—No. 6 of your neat, spicy, and well-filled pajier has. on this Anniversary of“our country’s natal morn,” first gladdened the vision of “ours” of the 5th. A kind friend had sent the writer this number, and it has gone the rounds. “Ours” of the 5th Iteing an fait in matters literary as well as military, it may uot be amiss to state here that your debut is of a character that merits and receives their highest approbation. lit this, however, we do not include your politics; as soldiers we have nothing to do with them; for “Ours not to inquire why— Ours but to do and die,” and hence we know nothing hut our govern ment as It is, and believe in no creed that is not endorsed by Abe Lincoln and tjen. McClel lan. To them we look for direction; in them we have unlimited faith. But your paper is indeed a success, artistically, editorially, anti in everything tliat stamps a lire, newspaper. Allow me to say this much, for I claim a cor rect knowledge of such matters founded in long experience. It is an easy transition in thought to leave the quiet of your sanctum for the more stirr ing scenes now enacting on the “sacred soil.” Hither, then, let me take you. As the telegraph has informed you, we have had since Thursday week here in the space of country between the Chickahominy and the James Rivers, a series of battles and military evolutions the parallel to which cannot be traced in history. To us who have been actors and participants in the scenes, there seems an utter poverty of language to convey our im pressions, or to portray what we saw and felt It is not possible within the limits of this let ter to give but an imperfect outline of dven what part was assigned to the “Maine Fifth,” much more to tell of the whole army—to pic ture the deadly strife of the combatants, to tell of the terrible bayonet charges, to describe how whole battalions melted like dew in the morn mg sun before the deadly rifle and the still more terrible storm of grape and cannister—to tell of deeds of individual heroism, or, alas!— for truth requires it—of individual poltroonery. For this task let us invoke the pen of Hadley —I follow only the footstep* of the glorious Filth On that memorable Thursday, the last in the leafy month of June, when McCall first got tangible evidence that famous Stonewall Jackson had given Freeinont the slip and had got his greedy eyes upon the government stores at White House, the Fifth was busy on the op posite side of the Chickahominy, in carrying out the Vorktown policy of our gallant chief in bttildiug roads and digging trenches, and while our comrades on that day were bravely beating back this wily foe, we were kept busy plying our spades. But the next day, Friday, “Linden saw another sight.” At 3 A. M. our regiment was turned out by the rapid dis charges of musketry on our left, telling us that Kearney wa« thus early at work. Soon the or der comes: “prepare three days rations, and be ready in half an hour to march.” This was done in alacrity, although we all felt something was now to be done. By 1 o’clock our brigade, consisting of the lfith, and 27th N. V., (Will f and 95th Penn., and our own regiment, was on V the march for New Bridge, situated on the fright and some two miles from our encamp ment Here we drew up in line of battle, and as McCall and Porter were retreating down by the bridge on the other side of the river, before the overwhelming force of the enemy, it soon transpired that our brigade, which was to sup port these divisions, was cut off from joining them over this bridge, and its destruction was therefore determined upon, snp|»ers being de tailed therefor while we countermarched back through our camp and down to Woodbury's bridge. While executing this movement, the enemy opened upon us with shell from their longe range guns, happily without damage. After getting in sight of our camp but still in range of the enemies fire, we got orders to re turn and protect the sappers and miners in the destruction of New Bridge. Soon the original order was repeated, and we crossed Wood bury's Bridge at quick time, and approached the battle field, where the fight was now rag ing with a fury greater than ever before, Sykes regulars being opposed, supported by several batteries of light artillery, to the whole rebel force of 70,000 men, who were rolled upon him regiment after regiment, in rapid succession. Superior numbers foreed Sykes back as they had McCall and Porter, and Slocum’s division, of which our brigade is a fact, went in in gal lant style just as the sun was beginning to dip behind the Western hills. Of the particular part our regiment took in this fight, it might look vain-glorious in a member thereof to re count. I will mention, therefore, but one particular. After we had got well to w ork. and our Springfield rifles were carrying death to the foe. a regt.. appeared on our left flank waving a United States flag, and the cry went along the line that wc were shooting our own tnen. We ceased firing, and gazed anxiously through the smoke to make sure, when the rascally rebels flouted their own detested ban ner in our faces and gave us a terrific volley at a distance of 30 yards. It was then we lost most of our men. Our brave Lt. Col. Heath was shot dead. Capt. Stevens, Lt Lemont, and Lt. Atwood, were badly wounded. Col. Jackson received a flesh wound in the arm at the beginning of the fight, and at once left the field. Our Adjt. was knocked off his horse by a spent ball at about the same time, and made horn du combat. Our Major was sick, and thus in a few minutes we were minus a single staff or field officer, notwithstanding which we maintained our ground, losing Hand gaining it three times until night closed upon the field of courage, when amid a terrific shower of grape and cannister.’we retired in tolerable order. In the early part of the action, our color Serg’t was wounded, and the colors, by some unex plained means got detached from the regiment and were carried to the rear, which caused some few of our men, in the absence of any commander, to follow them supposing the reg iment was going out of the Are to reform. With thinned ranks and weary, we returned across Woodbury’s bridge, and reached our camp at 9 o’clock P. M., having checked the advance of the enemy and secured a safe retreat for the fatigued legions of Porter and McCall with their immense baggage trains. Many of our wounded fell into the enemies hands, as in the hurry they were unavoidably left liehiud. At 3 I’. M., the next (Saturday) morning we were again under arms, and at daylight our j thinned columns were again in motion. No rest for tlie weary now. On this day four companies were commanded by 2d Lieuten ants. We were again under fire, supporting a battery in front of our old camp. Here we lay all day and until 12 at night, exposed to the rebel shells without a chance to retaliate. Such fighting is trying to the nerves. At 12 J (midnight) we commenced the march towards James Kiver, silently and rapidly, liesting a few hours at Savage's station, we continued on all day Sunday in the advance, and that night were advanced as a picket force, with a pood prospect of a night attack, for the enemy were i pushing us close. No rest for the weary yet j Tin1 night was quiet, however. Monday we marched back to our division, which constitute ed the centre rear guard, Heintzciman being j on our right and Kearney on our left. We wauled 24 hour's time to get our trains to the gunboats, and we were therefore compelled to hold our positions. About noon the enemy at- I tacked us with great fury on our right, grad- ually extending to the centre and left wing.— 1 Of tlie centre 1 can only speak. Our artillery played on the artillery most beautifully, giving us nothing to do but to dodge tne enemy’s shells, liefore nightfall we had silenced the enemy's batteries in front, and driven him back to the swamp; butjustaswe were congratu lating ourselves on our victory—boom! came a shell from the direction w here Kearney 's force had been all day. For a time we thought our chance of a Iiichmond prison good, but tlie brave Kearney rallied his men, and drove the enemy back so that we were enabled to escape from our jierilous position, and resume our march thither. Tuesday, having beaten the enemy at all jioiuts, and accomplished our object, we marched to Mason's farm, situated on a high bluff, in easy shelling distant^ of tlie gunboats. From thence, in tlie afternoon, we inarched down ujkiii the table land, or broad jilateau, which exteuds to tlie river, and turn ing into tlie woods commenced digging rifle pits. No rest for tlie weary yet In the mean- time Kearney was giving the enemy a terrible drubbing in the vicinity of Mason's Hill. Ear ly Wednesdays morning we were ordered to leave our temporary defences, and fall back to a (joint nearer tlie river and six miles lower down, which we did, performing tlie last half of tlie inarch through a drenching rain, witli tlie mud ankle deep. There, ujkiii a broad plain overlooking tlie river, our wearied col umns found a few hours rest, undisturbed by tlie roar of cannon—i. e., if lying on the damp ground in shelter tents, with wet blankets and the raiu all tlie while (muring down in torrents, can be termed rent. All night long troops I came jMiuring in, and the morning dawned up- i on a federal force of 80,000 men, w ithin a eir- cumference of 0 miles, and in a position to do- i fy the enemy, who in far greater strength was j close at our heels. McClellan s strategy was successful. A change of front (not a retreat, as the fright ened corres|K>ndents of the Y. Tribune per sist in calling it)—a movement requiring the nicest calculation even in the presence of an inferior enemy—was effected in a manner that must stamp our chief as the leading military 1 mind of the age. Our base is impreguable, j and we can recuperate at our leisure, We have suffered terribly, but I think not so se verely as the tkedaddling writers for the lead ing New York and Philadelphia papera have announced. But if we have suffered much, the enemy have suffered more. At Gaines’ Hill our loss es were probably equal, bnt at White Oak swamp, on Monday, the enemy must have lost five tootle. It was here that our artillery did the work, and although we run a fearful risk, as its capture would have entailed our destruc tion, the result shows our glorious Chief knows tehen and lime to dare successfully. But to return to the regiment. Thursday morning the rebels had thy presumption to fire into our camp, but they were terribly punished for their temerity, and were sent skedaddling in great confusion some five miles back. This work was done by Col. Carroll's brigade, just ar rived from the Shenandoah valley, and w hich wa« a part of Shields’ Division. The men of this brigade s|M-ak in terms of highest praise of Shields, and are very much chagrined that our wise senators rejected his appointment.— Toward noon our regiment was marched out to this place, some two miles from the landing, l where we are now encamped upon a beautiful grass plot of an acre or so, surrounded on all sides by shade trees. Our “Fourth" has been a quiet one. The enemy have kept a stile dis tance, tiring occasionally at our pickets. The regimental bands, for the lirst time since the evacuation of Yorktown, have given us a few spirit-stirring airs, and our siege guns have bellowed forth a national salute. But a sub dued feeling prevails. All of us have looked our last on some dear friends who have found a soldier's sepulchre among the Chicahominy tlelds and swamps. To-night Gen. McClellan visited the various regiments, ami met with the same enthusiastic reception as of yore. A list of the killed and wounded of our reg iment you will get ere this reaches you4 It is a matter of wonderment to us all that we came from those battles with such slight loss. Ow ing to circumstances which I do not feel at lilierty to mention, our regiment is, tempora rily, under the command of Lieut. Col. Frick, of the tMith Pennsylvania. He is a brave and prudent officer. There are men in the regi ment, however, competent to take the com mand; but it is probable Col. Jackson will re turn in a few days, and things will resume their former channel. Our officers, with the exception of those already mentioned as wounded, and Lieut. Pillsbury, of Co. B., who is missing, arc all in good health and spirits, and the esprit (lu corps of the entire regiment is unimpaired. As the plans of our chief be gin to be be understood, the countenances of all assume u brighter glow, and confidence in our speedy triumph permeates the whole army.

To the People of Maine: An additional number of troops is required bv the exigency of the public sendee, and if raised immedi ately it is believed bv those who have the best means of knowledge, that the war will lx* brought to a speedy and glorious issue. Of this number the President o’f the United States desires and expects that Maine should furnish her proportion or quota.

Saturday evening, promptly at 7 1-2 o’clock, the spacious New City Hall was parked to its utmost capacity, reponsive to a call for a pub lic meeting to respond to the President’s de mand for volunteers. The gallery was filled with ladies, and the orchestra was occupied by the Band of the 17th Regiment, U. S. A., which did much, by its soul-stirring strains, to add inspiration to the occasion. The door-ways and passages leading to the Hall were densely packed, and hundreds turned away disap)>oint ed, unable to gain hearing distance of the stage. The meeting, after music by tbe Band, was called to order by the venerable cx-chief Jus tice of the Supreme Court, lion. Etiikk Siieflky, father of the gallant Military Gov ernor of Louisiana, on whose motion, after a few patriotic remarks, the Mayor, Hon. W. W. Thomas, was called to the chair. Mr. Thomas, in assuming the chair, made a few felicitous remarks, calling forth hearty ap plause, and invited Rev. W: T. Dwight, D. D. to offer prayer, which was done with a felicity of expression, a Spirit of patriotism and an earnestness of manner—all iiervaded by, and auliordinate to, a deep and fervent piety—that did not Gut to inspire even the least devout with a feeling that, above and beyond all the conflicts of the hour, there is a living and pre siding spirit, who will not suffer Truth to be curshed, or Righteousness and Judgment to utterly faiL iUiri |ntuci, i/I. l/wi^iu mw mmmm ru the first speaker. nn«l said—“Few if any in this assembly will question the propriety of a min ister of the Gospel speaking to the citizens upon a subject of so much importance at this and in alluding to the present state of affairs in our country, spoke so earnestly of our pros pects for the future, and our duty at the pres ent, as to produce a feeling of the heartiest enthusiasm in the minds of his hearers. Said the Rev. gentleman, “I have but just returned from a visit to a friend, the Chaplain of the Filth Maine Regiment, and who, his whole soul filled with patriotism and devotion to his country’s cause, wanted only to be present at t the capture of Richmond.” Sooner, added the speaker, “let my right hand forget its cunning, or my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth, than that I refrain from uttering my sentiments upon such an occasion.”. He alluded to the stern school of military trial, in which said he, “we have made the best soldiers the world ever saw. When the war commenced many a face gathered paleness and many a heart knew not itself, but, through the battlefield and through the hospital, our soldiers challenge the admi ration of the world.” He felt that decided and vigorous action must now be taken, that the rebels should be crushed as the worm we tread upon. In language of the most affectionate manner, he alluded to our noble President,— Abraham Lincoln—to his far seeing policy, and added. “let this war be a *hort one.” In speaking of the blow to be struch at Richmond, said he, we have heard from the Chief Mag istracy of the State, that were the army strengthened to a certain amount, the blow would be struck, and that speedily. Let the administration employ every power within their reach to put down this accursed rebellion, although I say it—minister that 1 am. I would make no idle vaunt. Yet, if God |>cr mits England and Frauee to cross the Atlantic in the experiment of a war with this country, I feel that if then; is a traitor in New Eng land now, there will be none then. They will find it much easier to come than to return.— My friends, the time to show our love of liber ty is when the time of trial comes. The remarks of the s|a;aker were received with demonstrations of the greatest satisfaction, particularly his allusion to foreign intervention, and we only regret our inability to publish the speech in full, and thus do justice to the Rev. gentleman, of whose address we have given but an abstract. non. j. it. lmtmmonfl being now introduced by the chair, offered the following resolutions: Whereas, Tlie President of the l\ S. !im issued a call tv the loyal Static, for an additional force of 3UO.00O men. to suppress the retwdtioti; And trhereas, It is the duty, as well a* the interest, of all loyal States and citizeus, to give a united and hearty response to the patriotic policy of the Gov ernment, We. the citizens of Portland, in public meeting as aembled, do hereby accord to the j*resident our cor dial approval of ills measures, to give more vigor, promptness and success to our arm*; aud aver that we will do oil in our power, as patriotic citizens, to aid the Government in a vigorous prosecution of the w ar to a speedy and mocesshil issue. Aud trhereas, an army com nosed of VOLtTVTEKR*, who strike tor freedom for freedom's sake, is more effective than a forced levy. It is hereby Resolved, That a liberal encouragement ought to be giveu to i>er*ous who are w illing to leave their home*, their business and families, to fight the battles of our country, aud uphold tin.* honor of our flag. And whereas. It is highly important that our citv should at once furnish its proportion of men, under the new call, in number about three hundred inen, therefore, Resolved, That in order to encourage their enlist ment, we recommend that Hie Citv Council offer and pay froui the Pity Treasury *ucli'a*bmiut\ a* they may deem judicious, to our citizeus who shall euli*t within thirty days. Resolved, That it is the duty of the Government to employ ©very man. with all the means and reoonrees of the country, within its legitimate control, in a vig orous and energetic prosecution of the war, in order to restore the integrity of the L'uiou, and put dow u lb© rebellion. Resolved, That it is the duty of Maine, as it must be her pride, to maintain by still further sacrifices, the honors which have accumulated on her name in a hundred battles; and that she ought and will, with alacrity, send forward her new battalions to the scenes of danger and glory, to aveuge her slaughtered sons, and to reap new laurels on the field of battle. Mr Drumtnond now proposed, that, a* there were so many of our citizens outside the Hall, who were unable to get in, he would address them, which he did in his usual eloquent and forcible style. Judge Rice ujion being introduced by Ilis Honor the Mayor, said that he had heard of ambuscades, and forts being taken by surprise, but lie did not imagine when he entered the liall. that he w as to fall into an ambuscade, or be surprised, as he did not expect to be called upon. He spoke very feelingly and patrioti cally %of the great question at issue, coming squarely up to public sentiment in all respects, and sat down amidst rounds of applause. Mayor Thomas now came forward, and, in a very happy manner, introduced Geu. How ard, the hero of Fair Oaks.

General Howard in commencing his address, said:—“1 will not say now this country is in danger of being broken,—but it is threatened.” He spoke of the advantages gained by our ar my iu their present position, and, said he, “the rebels admit the ingenuity of the Yankees to be so great, that they will make the place impregnable.” He felt In regard to our army before Richmond, that when the, time arrived in which it might be deemed proper to advance, the army would advance. He adverted to the climate and to the health of our troo]»s, and said, that where they formerly were they were subject to the influences of a deadly malaria, and poisonous vapors, that decimated our ranks; that now they were upon higher ground, where could lie obtained fresh and wholesome air. In speaking of Gen. McClellan, he contin ued I believe from my heart that he is worthy to be trusted. I have seen and know him. I knew him at West Point, I knew him at Wash ington, and at the Peninsula, and I have never known what his politics were until I was in informed by the New York Herald. Gentle men, by the time we have shed a little more blood, we shall have learned to love our coun try—a country that has ever supplied us with every luxury. Said Gen. II, I do not worship any man. I do not say that Gen. McClellan has no faults; 1 doubt if any of our military commanders have made no mistake. I do not ask you to trust him as a God, but I ask you to trust him as a General, for he is worthy to lie confided in If there has been any undue protection of rebel property, let me inform those who may be ignorant of the rules of warfare, that the soldier must share the spoils. We have not protected the property of the enemy beyond the precedent established by the armies of Wellington, or by our own in Mexi co. We have protected it against marauders only that our soldiers may return to the State as good, morally, as when they left it. The policy of Congress is to lie a more vig orous prosecution of the war than before; and I am glad of it. 1 am in favor of em ploying the negro iu building our fortifica tions, and in digging our trenches, while we go out to do battle. He now charged the people of Maine to fill up the decimated ranks of our soldiers in the field, and, said he, “lay aside all partizan spirit, for the good and w elfare of our country. And how long shall we resist this rebellion One month? one year? JVo.' but as long as we exist. Against this, only? No—but against the whole world. Should other parties be un wise enough to step in, let them come; bnt we shall triumph, for we are in the right. My mother sent two boys into the field, and they went and returned to get well and to go again. He besought the women of Maine to give their energies to this great work, and, said liej if a woman can say no good, let her keep silent. My friends,” said he, in closing, let every man think for himself. Let him lx- thoughtful, and let him come up to his duty like a man.” Gen. Howard closed as he commenced, amid a perfect storm of applause ami cheers, ladies waving their handkerchiefs, and gentlemen swinging their bats, all perfectly frantic with enthusiasm. The reterence of the mutilated hero to his gallant superior in command—Mc Clellan—was most telling in its effect, and must have rejoiced every patriotic heart. If our men are asked to go to the battle-field to serve under a military Captain, they need con fidence in that Captain—in his capacity, his courage and his patriotism—and in an emi nent degree did Gelt. Howard inspire this feeling in the hearts of those who listened to him. Mayor Thomas now introduced the Rev. Mr. Stebbins, who was received with much ap plause. The remarks of this gentleman were of the most soul-inspiring character, aud as he point ed to the hero of Fair Oaks, the compliment which he paid General Howard elicited shouts both long and loud from the mass, show ing the zeal w ith w hich they would endorse the heart felt testimonial of the Reverend gentleman.— He spoke of the sacrifices which we were now called upon to make, and, added lie, “sacrifice is the typical word of the divine life.” As the s|x-akcr became warmed in his subject, his whole frame dilated with patriotic emotions, while the eloquent words which fell from his lips, found quick response from the hearts of his auditors. He urged the immediate necessity of putting our hands in our pockets with no stinted liberality. Let us, Mr. Mayor, and gentlemen, said he, give twenty-five, filly or one hundred dollars to those who w ill go to the war. Aud then, let us pay the bills. As an Instance of the selfish and sordid nature to lx* occasionally met with in man, lie remarked, “I waited upon a man w ho was asked to do nate ten dollars to the Sanitary Fund. This man w as in the receipt of $£>.500 per month for a vessel in commission, and he eoultl not give me one cent. He was,” added he, “a mean, despicable creature. He must have been too low in the scale of human intelligence to know what w as the matter.” “V ejnuim I till t VU, fflUl |K A Ulliti Ultima lion, to the prospects of our country, to the valor of her sons, and so wrought upon the patriotic feelings of the audience, that many an eve unused to weep was suffused with tears. Certainly, his style of oratory was at times hordering upon the sublime. The multitude were swayed at intervals by love of country— by a determination of vigor for the future, and by the gentle feeling of pity, as the ora tor depicted the sufferings of our gallant soldiers in the Held. Truly, the public of Port land enjoyed on Saturday evening as eloquent an address, from this gentleman, as any ever before listened to in this city. Judge Davis, being now introduced by His Honor, favored the audience with some very patriotic remarks, which were listened to with many demonstrations of enthusiasm. He advocated immediate and prompt action upon the part of the people of Maine. Judge lliee having urged the importance of saying, let us put down this reltellion, and signified his read iness to go to the Held if he could be excused from the Bench, Judge Davis said he had a proposition to make to his colleague. There are eight Judges upon the Bench; seven could do all tile buiiness for the next two years, that ought to lie done. He would say to his col league that he was ready to lie one of the sev en to do tlie whole business, and let the eighth go to tile war; or, as lie was the youngest member of the Bench, save one, he would be the i)nr to go if tlie other seven would do the business. The proposition was received with rounds of applause. Col. I.. D. M. Sweat was next introdueed.and addressed tlie meeting at length. He took occasion to criticise an article w hich had ap peared in a city paper, and during his speech an episode occurred which we regreted to see, as we would have tiad nothing take place to distract the prevailing harmony. While we say thus much, and express our deep regrets that the sja aker should have deemed it neces sary to refer to matters that could scarcely fail to produce unpleasant results, we sincerely hope that whatever of discord was exhibited, was the result of momentary impulse, not al lowed to survive the occasion, hut submerged and droicneil in a rising tide of patriotism that shall know no minor differences among men in the hour of peril, hut shall bid u hearty God-speed to every one who, by whatever in' aii«, can bring one partic).- of aid to the cause of our struggling, but, soon to be vic torious, country. Col. Sweat concluded liis remarks by of ferring the following resolution, which was re ceived with hearty applause, and adopted unanimously; Retolred, That on tills first public occasion, after tilt' call ot the President for additional troops, tiie citizens of Portland would express their renewed and increased confidence in him, the mention of whose name tin ills every patriot’s heart—confidence in the honor, courage, patient and unselfish devotion to the cause of our country and the pn*servntion of Consti tutional liberty, of George It, McClellan, and in his military genius and ability to lead our armies to an undoubted anil glorious victory, over the combined forces of flic rebels South, and all others who are con spiring, directly or indirectly, to the overthrow of our Government. Ordinarily, such a resolution would be in bail taste, as implying lack of confidence in other military commanders; but inasmuch as the troops railed for are expected to serve un der Gen. McClellan, such an expression wii* lie construed in its practical bearing upon the fact of encourging enlistments, and not as implying lack of confidence in, or unwilling ness to accord honor to, other gallant com manders. After the adoption of tiie resolution, Gen. Howard expressed a desire to add a siugle word. He believed those, who, through im patience, had complained of McClellan. were not traitors, nor were those traitors who were excessive ill their praise, of him. Men could differ and still love their country. The effect of the General’s remarks were most happy— like oil upon troubled waters, in restoring the harmony of feeling which had been momenta rily interrupted. At tiie close of (Jen. Howard's remarks tiie Band struck up a national air, and the large audience filed out of the hall—now nearly 11 o'clock—the pulsations of patriotism quicken ed, ami all apparently resolved to know no such word as fail or discouragement, until our flag again floats in triumph over every foot of American soil. For the Press. A Practical Suggestion. The spirit manifested by our citizens, and the enthusiasm of the meeting of .Saturday evening, show tliat our citizens are fully aroused to the emergency, anil are willing to make sacrifices in order that this city shall furnish its full quota of men to make up the army that is to save our country and restore the Union. The resolu tions passed at that meeting recommend that the City Council pay a suitable bounty to each soltlier who may lie enlisted. It is sup|msed that the amount thus required will not exceed the sum of $15,000. How shall it Ik: paid? Do not increase our largo city debt for this pur pose hut let it be willed to the fores of the present year. Tiie tax of each individual will thereby lie increased on his property but about live per cent., and it would not be policy or just, to put upon posterity those burden* which we do not wish to hear. Tiie City Council have not as yet fixed the amount to lie raised this year for taxes, and we can show our patri otism by our w orks, in paying this bounty in that way, and then all will contribute equally.

The Boston papers give account of a de- stmotive Are in that city, on Sudbury street, j Friday evening last, which was attended by the j loss of life of one fireman and serious injuries j to several others. Tile Are broke out iu a sta ble, and the flames communicated to a lot of i wooden buildings, all of which were destroyed, i The buildings were occupied mainly for me- I chaiiical business. They were of comparative ly little value, and the whole loss, as estimated by competent judges, will not exceed #15,000 or #20,000. The Journal says that while the fire was raging, several of the firemen, w ith a view to save some of the buildings, ran too much risk, ami while working bravely with their steam tire engines, a chimney fell upon the roof of an adjoining building, crushing it iu and causing the front to fall outward Into the street, bury ing several firemen under flic mins. Nuniberi of men immediately set to work removing the rubbish and extricating the firemen, all of horn were quickly removed troin among tlie mins. iuiiI all more or less injured. Mr. George N. Abercrombie, hoseiuan of En ginc No. 7, was struck on the head by a heavy timber, and almost instantly killed. He was 35 years old, and leaves a widow- and three children. Henry B. Fowler and Frank Lucas, members of Engine No. 1, were severely bruised on their heads and otherwise. George Mitch ell, of llook and Ladder Company No. 3, re ceived a severe contusion on the head, and other less injuries. Benjamin B. Wright, an other member of the same company, had one of his ankles badly sprained, and was other wise injured, though not dangerously. Robert Spear, Alonzo F. Hutchinson, and L. M.

Compiled from the Sew York Independent. MOKEI M AIJKKT.—The export of gold continue* large. £2.047.080 wa* shipped last week, making £29. *H»3.973 since the 1st of Jauuarv while our export* of produce for the week wen* 82.2*4.712. making £*J2, 15*3.1*17 since Jan. 1. Mir imports tor the week valu«*d *2.324.6‘.4 making £83.tm.294 since Jan 1. The excess °f import* over export* of produce ainountH to nearly 931.OUO.OOt), less by 99,00O,ttJ0 than the specie export ed. This is to be accounted for by the return of Amer ican securities for resale in this market. Notwith standing the large payments on the 1st of Julv of gold for interest on public and State debts, the'de in'tnd for gold has U**m such as to raise the premium to 12} per cent, for untnixed parcels fit for export Tin* panic in tin* stock market resulting in a heavy decline in the prices, led to a wholesale calling iu of loan*, and confidence in borrowers has greatly dim inished. business paper of first class is in limited supply and readily taken at 0 to 7 per cent. Inferior names are neglected, but are quoted at 8 to 10 per cent. The rates of foreign exchange have risen with the inemm* iu the premium on gold. The first-class bank ers draw at 122} to 123 on London at sixty days, nud at 123} at three daya. Franks are 4 On per dollar, sixty day bills. The shipper.* of produce benefit from these high rates. The steamer Champion, from As piuwall, has brought us £*41,465 of California gold this week. Oar exports consist chiefly of wheat, corn and flour, of which the shipments are large. Provision* do not go forward in great quantity. The prospects of the European harv est an* had for England and France, hut good for us; which is of considerable importance while our exports are mainly restricted tocerial prod ucts. The demand notes issued last August, ami re ceivable for duties, are at a premium of 5 to fi per cent. •STOCKS.—The market opened last week feverish ly. and on Thursday that feverishness culminated in a panic, under which prices receded materially. Even m eminent sixes of 1881 fell from 103. dividend off. to 99) and 1Q0, and some parcels of the 7 30’* fell 8per cent, down to 99. hut subsequently recovered to 103. The market for Fnifed States securities has since been steady hut on railroad slocks it is still heavy. DltV tiOOD.S.—The demand for fall staple good* is active on speculation, and goods of all descriptions are advancing. The season is a very unusual one.— The supply or cotton g*»od* for the fall is exacted to be very short of the demand, as raw material cannot be obtained in any quantity. Prices cmnMHjuentlv keep advancing, and there is no disposition to sell largely except at a further advance, while all jobbers and dealers are anxious to buy. Stocks of &ome de scription are nearly exhausted. Wide bleach' d goods are scarce, but both bleached and brown goods have advanced during the week, ami are still tending ii|> wards. Drills ami cotton flannels have also advanced. Stripe* ami denims are active and steady. Summer priut* still sell—the demand being kept up. Fall styles an* not yet generally offered. Staple woolen fall gmnl* are also quite active at high prices. The call for more troops has stimulated the market great! v. as the man ufacture of army goods will displace that for goods for private consumption. Stocks of all descriptions are light. The demand is principally on speculation. Foreign goods share in the gem-ral appreciation of price*. Itlack silks are very scarce, ami much want ed. Fall woolen goods are also ill much request, and stocks can be rtwiily disposed of. Ribbons an* also quick of sale. The'season clone* well. The importa tion of good* last week was large, amounting to 9906.729; but the* amount thrown on the market, in cluding entries from store, reaches £1.218.728. The prospect of the trade in the fall i* good as re late* to demand and consumption, but poorer as to supply of cotton good*; while the woolen domestic trade bid* fair to outride all previous years, and the demand will be large enough to absorb'the supplies of domestics, and price* will advance to the fullamount of increased duties on foreign importations, if suita ble to the market. The amount of foreign good* thrown on the market since the 1st of January, is 928,343,799. a-rainst 928.* 362.879 same time 18*11. WEEKLY SUMMARY —The exports of batter are rapidly increasing.

MATTERS ABOUT TOWN. Municipal Court. UEFOllK HIS HONOR, Jl'DOK I.ANE. July 12. m2. William Hardy, a stranger in the city, hav ing become intoxicated, and thereby noisy in the public streets, was arrested and brought before the court, to answer to this breach of the laws. William thought it rather hard that lie could not have the freedom of the streets, but His Honor, dispproving of his peculiar style, thought a tine of $2 and costs just about suited to the complexion of his case. Paid.— Discharged. General Howard addressed the child ren of the State Street Sabbath School, last evening at 6 1-2 o'clock; the children also of the First Baptist Sabbath School, at 7 o'clock; and t he memliers of the Second Parish Sabbath School, at 7 1-2 o’clock. 2y The Advertiser proposes, this morning, to apply the “dissecting knife” to a correspon dent ot the Press. A Caxe-lrnife dissection, we suppose. Look out for your fingers, Bro. C.; edged tools are dangerous iu the hands of children. Error.—Iu the “Quota of troops "required from each town there are some errors. The number accorded to Presque Isle, should lie right instead of four. Bocklaud should lie eighty instead of eighty-eight. The quota is made up upon the basis of about 10 1-4 to every 1000 inhabitants, as shown by the last census, or a small fraction over one in a hun dred. I-ate War Items of Interest. Several towns iu Massachusetts have already raised their full quota of800,000 men called for by the President, and made their returns to the projier officials. Mr. Forney, of the Philadelphia Tress, says the object of President Lincoln's visit to the army of the Potomac was to ascertain wheth er the charges made against Gen. McClellan are true or false, by personal conference with the principal actors in the late battles. “Perley” telegraphs from Washington to the Journal, that the Major of a Massachusetts regiment, noted for its troubles, has lieen placed under arrest, and is ordered Ix-fore a general court martial under serious charges. Thurlow Weed has written a brief letter to the New York Commercial Advertiser, on “Contrabands," in which be says: The public mind is now Diking the right di rection with regard to “contrabands.” Our army needs the aid and comfort w hich can he obtained from “contrabands," and in accepting it we deprive the enemy of an element of strength. i wiui upn. Uutler at Annapolis when he inaugurated a policy in reference to es caped slaves. I felt then, as I do now, that he “hit the nail on the head.” 1 went directly to Washington, anil urged the government to in struct all the officers of the army to receive, and not to repel fugitives, proclaiming simul taneously, that the ttatxn of loyal oicnrr* would be paid for. and those of traitors con fiscated; and that all should lie employed as unarmed auxiliaries to the army. Had Gen. Butler's policy beeu adopted a year ago. at least half a million of slaves, who have been at work in the rebel armies, would have lieen re lieving our own worn out troop* from exhaust ing drudgery—thus weakening the enemy, and xtrengUa tiimj ourselves in a corresponding de gree. And this line of policy would have raised no embarrassing issues. It was simple, and *o just both to loyal men and traitors, that all would have acquiesced. While it protected loyal citizens, it gave us the advantage we are entitled to, in war. over our enemy. But for reasons which were deemed suffi cient, the question of “contrabands” has been left to drift along until public sentiment de mands a policy. In that demand I perceive tile dawning of a brighter day. Late New Orleans papers contains a long genera] order by Gen. Butler, that decrees t lint all persons who have been citizens of the Uni ted States, before asking any favor except pro tection from personal violence, must take the oath of allegiance. Gov. Curtin of Peennsylvauia, now on a visit to Washington city, is said to advise that tile term of enlistment be reduced to one year. Gen. Pope has announced that bis headquar ter* will be in his saddle. It is thought in New York that the quota of troo|w required of that State inav be obtained without resorting to a draft. The indications are very favorable for prompt enlistments. Seven hundred cases of soldiers'equipments were shipped from N. York on Friday evening per steamer Chesapeake, for this city, for the volunteers now enlisting in this State. On Monday evening the secessionists of Norfolk and Portsmouth were thrown into ecstasies of joy over the leader in the Norfolk Union of that day, headed McClellan's De feat.” Some of the females of Norfolk actual ly walked the streets with the articles cut from tlie Union pinned to their bosoms. All the cities and large towns in Massachu setts are holding public meeting, and offering bounties, to stimulate enlistments. The great meeting in Faneuil Hall, on Sat urday. was a perfect success. The Mayor presided. Speeches were made liv Mayor Wight inan, and Messrs. Geo. B. Loring. Ed ward Everett, Gen. Deveus and others. Great enthusiasm prevailed. rr-w e shall not burrow in a barn-yard for the sake of replying to anonymous scribblers who sec tit to mount their big squirt-guns anil lire through the embrasures of the Argus. A person who can see in a frank declaration of one's |Hisition only “knee-shaking excuses," is expected to ascribe to Wm. Lloyd Garrison the language of Thomas Jefferson; and a fel low who, could he get a lock of Jeff. Davis hair, would braid it into a breast pin to wear next hi* heart, is expected to go off in spasms over the shackles of old John Brown. I*oor old Brown’s “body is mouldering in its grave,” and his soul may lie “marching on,” but we didn’t before suppose there was any incendiar ism or treason in a curiosity that woutd step aside to look upon the shackles with which his limbs were Isiund by the godly patriarchs of the “divine” institution of slavery. By the way, it is decidedly rich to find a class of men who have denounced Fremont and Hunter with a ferocity that would disgraces hyena,so excessively tender of the reputation of one of our noble military commanders, that ifa person even spit* at him they will all Mkh in unison, —and all this because of their unwillingness to lessen the confidence of the soldiers in their leaders! If we could believe them honest in this, or that they had a particle of regard for Meridian any further they look for him to lift them from their disloyal and inglorious past in to a respectable future, we rould read and lis ten totheir lachrymose whimperings with some degree ol complacency; but when we remem ber ir/jo they are, and hole they hnee behart il; when we think of their base treason at the Winthrop Hall Convention last August, and their willingness to aliaudon McClellan at that time, and to compromise with traitors, anti to charge our noble soldiers with being engaged in an “unholy war,” we cease to feel any re spect. for them, and look upon their new-born regard for McClellan a* the most arrant bypoc rncy and sham. £#“The World's correspondent*!

The bill providing for the election of repre sentatives by single districts was passed. Mr. Grimes introduced a bill in relation to letters of marque prizes and prize goods. The bill authorized the President when war exists or is declared, to issue letters of marque to pri vate vessels. Mr. Sherman, from the Committee on Fi nance, reported a resolution Axing the adjourn ment of Congress on Wednesday, the liitli of July. Messrs. Sherman, Trumbull, Wade and oth ers opposed any adjournment of Congress ill the present condition of things. After further discussion the resolution was agreed to by yeas 2ft, nays 10. lly common consent Mr. llowe was permit ted to record his vote in the attirmativc on the couAscation bill.

Several reports from the Committee of Con ference were concurred in, including one of disagreement to the b'll to reorganize the Judicial Circuit Courts of the United Stales. A message was received from the President recommending the thanks of Congress to the following Naval officers:—Lardncr, Davis, Dahigreen, Kowan, D. D.

Mr. Phorson of Vu., introduced a resolution that in cases where members of Congress have been or shall be absent from their seats, in the unitary service of the country, no deduction lie made from tlteir pay as members, provided they have not drawn pay as military officers. Mr. Allen of Ohio, maintained that while it wa« tlie duty of Congress to legislate so as to reduce the public expenditures, and while every gentleman on the Hour claimed to be in favor of retrenchment and reform, yet the leg islation of tile present Congress had unneces sarily increased the public expenses. 11c re ferred to the appropriation of a million of dol lars for the emancipation of the slaves of the District of Columbia; to the appointment of diplomatic representatives to Hai ti and Li beria; tlie appointment of an Assistant Sec retary of the Interior, and to the establish ment of an additional bureau in the Treasury Department. He also referred to assessors ami collectors of taxes to be appointed, which lie said might have lieeu avoided by allowing the Slates to collect the required tax. He also referred to the increase of clerks iu tlie Post Office Department, and to the legislation of a similar character, which in his opinion was not necessary at a time like this. The public cx liemlitures by this unnecessary legislation have iieen greatly inyreused. During his remarks Mr. A. repeated on the authority of Mr. Rich ardson of III, the enormous amount w hich had Iieen expended for the support of contrabands brought hither. Mr. lilakc said the statement was unfound ed. M r. Richardson said it was too late in the day to refute the statement. A lively debate then ensued between Messrs. Blake and Richardson, but the storm soon passed over. The House agreed to the .Senate's amend ment to the bill providing tor the election ol members of the House to single districts. Adjourned. From the South. Washington, July 13. The Richmond Dispatch of Wednesday says, Monday afternoon a demonstration was made against our pickets, w hich indicates a restive ness on tlie part of the foe in his present cramped and confined situation. Two pieces of tlie Louisiana Guard Aartillery were sent forward to the support of the pickets, w hen the enemy retired without risking a shot from our pieces. It is not lielieved that McClellan can he induced to make an attack upon our forces, but it is conjectured that he may at tempt to throw his army on the South side the river with a view to a demonstration upon tlie butteries at Drury's Bluff. Such a demonstra tion would of course be promptly met and as signally thwarted on tlie advance of the “young Napoleon" on Richmond, as from the North side of the James river. \Ve conversed with a gentleman last evening who left our army at 11 o’clock yesterday morning. Up to that hour all was i|uiet and there were no out side indications of any active operations. It is reasonable to conclude that tile lighting, for a short season at least, is at an end. There is nothing to justify the belief, however, that our government will fail to improve its present ad vantage. Pressed to tlie wall, as the enemy now is, lie w ill not la- permitted to revive from tlie severe Mow that lias been inflicted upon him, and McClellan, in attempting to extricate himself from his present unpleasant situation, will And himself confronted at every point by an active and energetic army under skilful and experienced officers, who an? determined to wring from his unwilling master* the recogni tion of their rights as freemen. The late series of battles have already produced the good re sults of opening tlie lines of communication in various directions, as well as a valuable ef fect upon the amount of supplies in our mar kets. The Dispatch savs tlie people of the North regard Stonewall Jackson as one of those in vincible beings whose purjHises it is impossi ble to thwart Between MX) and HiOO l\ S. arms of most improved patterns, were gathered at Shirley, having been left there by the enemy In their retreat. The Dispatch extravagantly praises General Lee for arranging late plans of liattle, saying it may lie that Met lellan may lie reinforced and make another effort. Be it so. we are in the hands of a General who lias just proved himself a master in art ol war. and who has to-night his countrymen in the last fortnight, to place the utmost confidence in his skill.— This city, and the city generally, feel sale as long as he is known to be at his post. He will be found fully aide to deal with any crisis that may arise. For several days past efforts have been made to effect tlie removal of the w ound ed federal prisoners to this city. The large number of tills class of jiersons renders the undertaking no light one. Yesterday 75 Yan kees were transported to this city in ambu lances and omnibuses, among whom were li. A. Itanium. Mai. li'tli N. Y., H. V. Peck, Serg’t U. S. infantry, Lewis liartung, gd Lieut, to. B. 7th N. Y., and H. R. Rowlett, Capt. Co. F., 36th N. Y. There are many more w ounded officers to 1h* brought up. Petersburg Express of Wednesday says that several of tlie enemy's gunboats came up the river late .Sunday morning, and proceeded sev eral miles beyond City Point. They tired many Shells into the forests on the south bank of James river, and occasionally gave the w ild varmints in tlie marshes and undergrowth on south side a feeler, but did no perceptable damage to any human being orany habitation. It is a matter of congratulation with every friend of freedom and the South to know that the present position of McClellan’s army is one of the hottest perhaps on the soil of Virginia. Persons residing in Petersburg entirely famil iar with the locality, say that out of tophet there is no place to compare with it. There is but little sympathy hereabouts for the invad ers, and if the sun could roast the rascals to a crisp, no tears would be shed in the South at their fate! From Washington. Washington, July 13. Hon. George S. Boutwell, the Commissioner of Internal Revenue has not reached here, be ing on duty as Military Commissioner at Cairo, Illinois, where lie was appointed. Appropriations for the officers of Collectors of Taxes in the various Congressional Dis tricts are already counted by thousands, and the number is rapidly increasing. They are addressed to the Secretary of the Treasury, and require the daily labor of many clerks to assert and endorse them. There seems to be no doubt that Congress before the close of the session, will provide for the scarcity of specie, by authorizing the issue of two dollars and a half notes, and otherwise meeting the necessity of the times, w hich leg islation may delay the adjournment beyond Wednesday. The Military Committee of the Senate, yes terday, out of a large number of nominations for Brigadier Generals before them, selected twenty-nine to report to that body, notwith standing there were only eighteen additional officers of that rank required by law. Brigadier General Van Vliet, Quartermas ter of the army of the Potomac, has been re lieved from duty on his own request, and ar rived here oil Saturday, and reported. The General was compelled to ask to be re lieved oil account of ill health and on leaving was highly complimented by Gen. McClellan. Brig. Gen. Scroggs has been assigned duty with Maj. Gen. Banks, to take the place of Brig. Gen. Slough; Gen. Franz Kappner will report to Gen. Sigel as Aid dc 'amp. Col. Clureret will report to Gen. Sigel. as also Lieut. De Fourrelle. Capt. Goodrich is de tailed to co-operate with the Government of Minnesota in raising and organizing volun teers. Brig. Gen. Van Kensaler will proceed to make inspection of the army of the Potom ac. Col. Herron is detailed to assist the Gov ernor of Iowa in raising and organizing vol unteers. The following resignations have been ac cepted: Captains J. B. Gibbs, 8. B. Hau.se, 8. F. Parker, E. M. Davis, S. C. Lefferts. The Senate last night confirmed the follow ing nominations for consuls: Geo. F. Barker, at Athens; A. J. Stevens, at Leghorn; F. Ol cutt, at Jerusalem; A. M. Mothershead, at I.eipzic; IL B. Hammond, of Mass., at Dub lin; 11. R Helper, at Buenos Ayres; Thos. Adamson, at Pernambuco; II. Bernstein, at Bremen; J. W. Marshall, at Leeds; F. J.

It is understood that there is no foundation for the statement which lias recently appeared to the effect that the Governors of the several States have been authorized to purchase or contract for the supplies for the troops to be raised under the new call. The government has ample supplies of army equipments, of quartermaster and other stores, which will be issued as last as needed. r rom Tennessee—severe rignt at jyiurirees boro— The Michigan Oth and two Generals taken Prisoners.

The most reliable reports confirm the state ment about a fight having occurred. The following particulars arc given: About 8 o'clock this morning a large force of rebel cavalry, under command of Col. For rest, composed principally of two Georgia and one other rebel regular cavalry, drove in our pickets and assaulted the town. The 9th Mich. Col. Parkhaus, were surrounded and eaptured. Gen. T. T. Crittenden of Ind, and Gen. Duf fleld, who had recently arrived to take com mand of the 23d brigade, were made prisoners; also Lieut. Barry, Commissary, and Lieut. C. H. Irwin. Acting Assistant Quarter Master. The 3d Minnesota regiment. Col. Leslie, and Hewitt's First Kentucky Battery, made a gal lant resistance. Their bravery is beyond praise. They saved the railroad track and bridges, losing but few men. The rebels de stroyed the railroad depot ami other property, including the telegraph office. The town was being shelled by Hewitt's battery at the last accounts. 3 1’.

Quicker than the approach was the retreat, and a headlong flight ensued. Some hundreds were for a few moments seen strug gling waist deep through a swamp, w hile oth er regiments were ordered near to prevent any attack upon the miring warriors. Three were captured, but the number killed and wounded is unknown. The prisoners stated that Van Dorn and Breckinridge were at Vicksburg, and would endeavor at every cost to hold it.

SPEECH -OF HON. WM. P. FESSENDEN, In the United States Senate. July 9th, on the bill amendatory of the act of 1795, calling forth the militia, e supposed to arise from any difficulty in raising troops by enlistment at once, as soon as they may be re quired and therefore it is proposed to give the President power to call out the militia, and to call on all loyal persons without dis tinction of color, for such a time as to make their services available. That is the position; and sir, I am in favor of this bill, if it is thought advisable by the Committee on Military Affairs to pass It. I don’t know, sir, but it may be necessary to go a step further, and to provide specifically for calling out men by drafting, and 1 am ready to do that if it is thought ad visable. It is not advisable at this moment, but as Congress is to adjourn very soon, I un derstand that by this hill it is proposed to meet any contingency that may arise during the ad journment of Congress, and as such. I think it a wise and precautionary measure. But, sir, It may be worth while to inquire why this con tingency is possible, and we may as well look at the matter in the face. It is because appre hensions are entertained that there may not be that readiness to enlist that there was hereto fore, and I am perfectly willing to state here that in my own State there is not that readi ness to enlist. There is not that enthusiasm with regard to enlistments. Have they lost any interest iu the war? Not a particle.— Have they lost anything of that determination which existed formerly to do anything and ev erything which may be necessary to put down this rebellion? Not at all. Not in any shape or form. Blit they do feel, sir, that the war must be conducted upon some different prin ciples than those upon which it has been con ducted hitherto; that is to say, there should not be, on the part of the military authorities of the country, that extreme tenderness and delicacy toward men who have no tenderness to us except that of the wolf toward the lamb; but they should be met, if not in the same spirit, yet in a spirit able to resist and conquer them. Sir, our soldiers do not like it. and they do not feel easy w hen they are called upon, without any necessity, to stand guard over the enemy's property and protect it while they are fighting against us. and be shot down by’con cealed traitors while they are doing this. They do not feel that it is just to them, that they who have volunteered to fight the battles of their country, should be employed to dig ditches and throw up intrenclnnents, exposed to all the miserable consequences of such a sort of life about the swamps of the Chickahominy or elsewhere, while at the same time there are numbers and abundance of men acclimated who are ready to volunteer their services to do the same work, and thus save our soldiers. awnt cti, a OIA 4»rv IIIIB OB* U lIUlll WHICH IS well understood, and the government of the United States and the military authorities of the United States may as well understand thaW if this policy is to la- followed, and wo arc not to avail ourselves of the services of men who are too ready to render all these services, out of tenderness to rebels and traitors and mur derers. that the people will hesitate to come forward until they know and feel that they are no longer to he exposed to that kind of life. Sir, why is it so Why are we so tender to ward these traitors? What makes some gen tlemen so sensitive the moment we speak of employing negroes and the slaves of the rebels in the service of the country? Men who pro fess to feci, and I am willing to believe do feel, the deepest interest in the salvation of the country, why do they jump to their feet the moment the idea is propagated that we are to employ men who are ready and willing and able to perform these services to preserve the lives of soldiers of their own and other States What violation of the principles of warfare is proiwsed Why should we not. weaken the enemy, and attack him in his weakest point Do yon say we are proposing an abolition or emancipation scheme? Not at all. We are simply proposing to use those means in thu ar my which are best for us, ami to use those liest able to perform a particular kind of service. Did anyliody ever hear of a nation that was at war with any other country, that would sacri fice the lives of their own men by making them do a kind of work when there were about them friends who were willing and anxious to re lieve them from that work? And out of what consideration Why, sir, I have been utterly at a loss to imagine any. 1 cannot conceive the slightest ground for it, or reason why the men who come to our ramps and tender their services against the enemies of their country, i should he re|» lled and driven out, ami ourown soldiers sacrificed in performing a duty the other men are ready to perform. Why, sir, it it is contrary to every principle of waiiare. 1 am not a soldier, but I undertake to say that a general who conducts a campaign upon such principles is no general at all. He luus forgot or never knew the first principles upon which to conduct a war, which is to weaken the ene my and strengthen himself. 1 have looked up on this thing quite as long as I feel disposed to. I do not feel disposed to blame anybody, and I have no doubt, not the slightest in the world, that everybody feels as anxious as I do to close this war, and to close it effectually. Hut I do say that a mistake has lieen made in this thing. Too (treat tenderness has been used, under the delusive idea that these rebels were to be coaxed back by tenderness. Sir, you cannot deal with savages in that way. And the man who deliberately set* himself to overthrow the institutions and interests of the country for purposes of selfish ambition is worse than a savage. And such is a description of the lead ers of this rebellion, and the great mass of their followers are uneducated and willing to fol low those about them. Now, sir, are we to go on in this way? If we do, the consequences must be well understood by the government, the President, the Cabinet, generals, or who ever else sanctions this mode of proceeding. They must reverse their course, or let me say, however public opinion may sustain the war, it will not sustain them. And, sir, this is not from any fooling for ab olition or emancipation, or atiy sort of jx'cu liar sentimeut which gentlemen are so fond of attributing to those on this side of the cham ber, but from the absolute necessity of the case, from the common sense of the tiling. Let me ask my friend from Delaware (Mr. Sauh bury), if he was engaged in a contest where liis own life was in danger and peril, and the servantsof his enemy should come to him and say: "We will give you aid that may save you. dig trenches, or do anything for you," would he repo! them Any man who would act thus has not even common sense, and ha« not capa city to manage his own life atTairs. I have said thus much, sir, simply to illustrate my idea, which is this, that if we expect the people of this country to come forward willingly under any pressure except the absolute necessity, with their whole hearts and souls, to tight this battle out, 1 tell the President in my place here as a senator, and I tell generals of our army, that they must reverse 1 heir practice and their course. 1 know that in some quarters I am called a conservative, and I think lam. Ido not say things here without full delilx-ration, and 1 say this after lull reflection, lieeause 1 think it ought to be said.and to lx- said in pub lie. It is my opinion that this white kid-glove warfare won’t do. We must act upon common sense principles, and do what all men would do in such a cast—-avail ourselves of all the means which the Great Ruler of the universe lias placed in our power to overwhelm these wretches who are thus making war upon us, upon civilization and upon humanity. I would do nothing that a Christian and civilized na tion onglit not to do. 1 would not employ sav ages, and bring hack the days of the tomahawk and the scalping knife. 1 w ould not employ these negroes unless I could control them.— But everything that is within the usages of of civilized warfare 1 would do, and 1 think it ought to he done. There is another tiling in which 1 think there has been a mistake made, that is, trying to deceive the people by culling a defeat a great stategic movement, and bi giving false names to Brings under the idea that it will not do to give the ix'oplc of the country the truth, just precisely as it is. That Is just what ought to be done: tell the people the truth, and resort to no artifice or conceal ment. Of course I do not speak of those con cealments which are necessary to conceal lads from the enemy. But die idea of hesitating to tell the free and Intelligent iieople of this coun try precisely what the state of things is. and what is needed to effect their purposes, is an Illusion and folly. The people in my Slate, ami t.flp people of this country, arc intelligent, reading people, and they are the people who support this war; their hearts are in it as much as ours. Let them know, then, plainly what your necessities are. and what will lie required ol them. I was very much amused the other day, at seeing an address of the governors of the different States addressed to the President, requesting him to call out more troops, for they thought it might l>e necessary in the course of coming events. What did it all moan It meant that the President and government thought that they needed more troops; that our ranks had been thinned by diseose ami the enemy.— Didn't we all know it Didn't the enemy know it? Didn't everybody know that we wanted more men Then why not say so Now, and quick, tell the truth—wily we want them, and how soon. Appeal to the people, and let them know what we require for the purposes of the country. Deal witli them honestly, and you will get a response from every true northern heart. Therefore, I hope this policy will be abandoned, and hereafter we shall speak the truth. I have not stood up here to condemn and man, or this or that general, or the Presi dent. I respect the President. I have stood by him, and I shall stand by him. I have done ail 1 could, and contributed all I could to the support of this w ar. and of our generals, and I shall continue to do so. II they make mis takes I can forgive them. Men are not al ways wise, or able to do the very best things. If they do the best they can, I can bid them God speed, and go on to light this battle till they conquer. But tell me the truth, and treat your enemies as enemies ami the worst of enemies. Avail yourselves. like men. of every power which God has placed in your hands to accomplish your purpose, within the reach of civilized warfare. But the man who tampers with this question, and who talks against employing negroes for ser vices which they are ready and able to do,leads me to doubt,sometimes, whether alter all, there is not something wanting in the heart The people, by this bill, are called upon to contribute more men, and if you wish them to do it with hearts in their bosoms, you must show that you have some feeling for them; you must spare them from every trouble, annoyance, and expoosure that you can—and God knows they will have enough in such a warfare and such an enemy.

PROSPECTUS OF THE PORTLAND DAILY PRESS; EDITED B Y JOHN T. GILMAN, recently of the Bath Times, and JOSEPH B. HALL, of the Aroostook Herald. The Portland Daily Preps is intended to be an enterprising, vigorous and lire Daily Morning Paper, containing th© latest and fullest news by mail and telegraph. THE MAINE STATE PRESS Is a large, well-filled, carefully edited, and neatly priuted weekly paper, intended specially for general circulation throughout the State. Both of the above named 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 its interests twine with, and arc inseparable from, those of the State. Politically, the Prebp will give an earnest, cordial, and generous support to the administration of Abra ham Lincoln, who in little more than one year, has indellibly impressed himself upon the nation’s heart as an incorruptible patriot, an inflexible Chief Mag istrate, and an honest inau; the ability of whose ad ministration is most signally exhibited, not 'only in the matchless operations of our army and navy, but in the unparalleled fact that, in the midst of this gigantic rebellion, our Government securities are selling at a premium. It will zealously labor to ex hibit and defend sound Kepublican principle*, and, iuasmuch as political organizations have become a necessity in carrying into effect great principles of political economy, and inasmuch as .the Kepublican party w hich, in the brief chapter of its history already written, has successfully refuted 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-, ciple* underlying all free Governments, th© 1'rebs will cordially sustain the organization of that party, not with a design to foster a mere partizan spirit, but in the full 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 laud, but will inculcate loyalty to the great central idea of all true democracy—that the majority must govern. vpuu uie cxcmng question oi domestic Slavery, it may be proper to say. that while the Press will 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 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 and social evil," will iind in the Press a generous and hearty support. While thus distinctly announcing the general course proposed for the Prerr. and intending that, alike in war and in peace—in our country’s peril and in its triumph, it shall speak w ith no uncertain voice, we do not lose sight of the fact that true men have hon estly differed, and that, coming by different routes they now find themselves travelling parallel roads; and. instead of seeking to widen the differences be tween those who are required by a common patriot ism to act in concert, the Press will labor hopefully to encourage unity of purpose and harmony of act ion amoug 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 w ill 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 Editors, not un known to the people of Maine, will give their undivi ded energies to the work before them, and labor to make such a paper as the city of Portland, the State of Maine, and the exigencies of the time* demand— one that shall be true to the popular instincts. The Portland Daily Press is priuted 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 85 pe r annnm. Subscriptions for less than six months, 60 cents per mouth. The Maine State Press, large, neatly printed, and well filled with the news of the week, and orig inal and selected Political, Agricultural. Literary aud Miscellaneous reading, making it specially adapted to the Family Circle, will be issued weekly, at 81.50 per year, idvariably in advance.
