Bad Mens—Farming and Lumbering Dis tricts—The Feeling of the People—An old Man's Opinion—the Men Church—Pastor al Changes—Telegraph to Skonhegan. Skowiikhax, July 15, 1862. Messrs. Editors Since i^ast wrote you, the community has felt the shock of one of those great w aves of calamity which, from time to time, during the past two years, have swept over our land.— Again we have had the sickening recoil from the first dreadful tidings, the hours of cruel susjiensc, the feeling, intense, but subdued, of blessed reliel when the truth was known.— Men talk soberly, yet proudly, of the long, fierce struggle: and womens'eyes flash through tears, as they think of their heroes, whose precious lives are a part, perhaps, of the costly sirriflce once more laid upon the altar of cur c mntry. Enough of the shadow of disaster, hung in the air, to give to the festivities of the Fourth a tone more quiet than usual: but there has been apparently no disposition to allow any thing to interfere with the observance of a day which we have never had more cause to honor than now'. During the past week chance has taken me on a tour through the farming and lumbering districts, in the upper part of this county. I have encountered a great many ]>eople, and have hail many conversations with that class of plain, homely, yet thoughtful men, who form the solid foundation of our society, the granite sub-stratum on which rests the rich and cultivated soils. Throughout this class I find but one mind, one resolution, to put down rebellion and disunion at any cost. “i'll tell you what it is," emphatically de clared an old man. at whose door we had stopped to ask a direction alrout the roads (it was thirty miles from a railroad, and only the stage-drivers know how the mails get into that region; but he was reading a Portland Prkss of the day before only); “I'll tell you what it is, this tiling has got to be put right straight through. We've shilly-shallied about long enough. We’re too tender of hurtin' the feel in’s of rebels. I've no patience with nil this nonsense about sympathy for our misguided brethren. There is one big, black, ugly devil that has poisoned half the land, and is poison inp of it it yet; ami it's my opinion that we never shall get shut of this business till we’ve killed the beast. Koine folks are opposed to any such action, because there are a few loyal men down South that are attached to the crit ter, and like to see it round their houses. But we can’t allow folks to keep rattle-snakes and catamounts loose on their premises, if they do happen to have a fancy for ’em, When a thing has proved to Is- a nuisance it has got to go down, and there's no use in talking. We are coming to that fast. I’ve confidence in Mr. Lincoln. I believe he’ll do what he thinks right. I didn’t like him holding back the news t’other day. It’s laid policy. Folks will eith er know the truth or think something u great deal worse. Besides, the people have got this thing to shoulder, and they've a right to know what sort of a park there is to lug. ’Taint fair to treat ’em like a great baby that must be cheated into having its tooth pulled!” 1 could not dispute him! Here in this peaceful region, so far remote from the scenes which war is trampling into desolation, we feel in reality but little of its effects. The presence of some disturbing ele ment is, of course, always ap|iareut in the cir cles of trade: but still business goes on; men buy and sell, and plant and build very much as usual. Things look prosperous. I said that build ing went on as usual, but that is hardly true, at least in degree. Many buildings are going up in our place, and some fine ones; but the numerous branching streets which have been wont, ever summer, to stretch out into the country with the rapidity of runners into the strawlierry bed, lengthen somewhat more slow ly now. The new church, intended for the united Congregational societies of the north and south sides, advances slowly toward com pletion. The site chosen is pleasant and cen tral, and the plan of the house admirable. Mr. Cutler, the jxjpular and beloved pastor of this church, is now absent in Florida, fulfilling the duties of Chaplain to the Bth Regiment of Maine Volunteers. His pulpit is supplied in the interval, by various gentlemen. Other changes have occurred among the clerical laxly here. The Rev. C. F. Allen, who for two years has ministered acceptably to the Metho dist .Society, has been transferred to another field of labor, and his place supplied by Mr. RAiidall, a man well known in the denomina tion. rite Baptist society are yet fortunate in retaining as their pastor the Rev. Mr. Bullen. whose untiring labors and genial character, as well as his flue abilities, trained in the schools and polished by foreign culture, win him many 1 admirers. The “Christian” Church have, dur ing the past year, experienced a heavy loss in j the sudden death of the Rev. Mr. Bryant, w ho had been their minister lor some time,and who had endeared himself greatly, not only to his J church, but to all who knew him. His place j is now supplied by Mr. Eldridge, w ho gives much satisfaction by the breadth and sound ness of his views, the simplicity and force of his style, and the spirit of kindness and liberal ity by which his sermons are characterized. Our citizens are just now felicitating thern selves on the near prospect of being put in telegraphic communication with “all the world and the rest of mankind.” The bill to extend a telegraphic line to this place was passed last winter, but no action has been taken upon it until lately. Now, however, the matter has been taken vigorously in hand. I understand that the requisite amount of funds have been subscribed, and the work is to be commenced 1 immediately, so we may hope soon to be in possession of a means of communication so long desired and so greatly needed. More I anon. Yours truly, Epsilon. [Written for the Press.] Loyal Free Colored Men. Mit. Eiiitob:—Last winter i made a visit to New Meadows—a location between Bruns wick and Hath—to visit a colony of colored 1 men there living; my object was to present the advantages of the liberal scheme of emi gration established by the government of the Republic of Hayti, now represented by the able, energetic and earnest James Redpath. Some of the people are descendents of a re markable man by the name Ilf Hasten, who j attained a great age. and w ho, with a noble form, uncommon intellect and honest heart, j felt deeply the wrongs of his race, and with i the eye of a seer, foretold the state of our j country at the present time. ..I f .1 "v v,‘V'-vl (.uuiimiimmiuu I* IU allude tq the fact as I then found it. that all tile young, likely anil intelligent colored men, then were or supposed themselves to lie, enlist ed in one of our regiments for the war. Who it was that appeared there for that purpose, whether to test their loyalty or w illingness to fight for their country, or to play a joke upon them, I do not know. All I know is that they were ready and anxious to fight. They were, as I said, hearty, healthy and intelligent. Now the question arises, should these persons lie re pulsed from our service simply on account of their color? May they not do good service as cooks, nurses or laborers, if not as soldiers I think thvy can. Again, a large numlier of the colored men ■or me country, nut, ol course, could not lie accepted as soldiers. Now, though I think tlie policy of the general government lias been ri'jht, tn theixist, let us now take advantage of every means to quell this gigantic, foolish and damnable rebellion in the shortest possi ble time; and, if necessary for the purpose, let us use the colored men in any way or manner to effect this purpose.

In what manner, anti to what extent, the government shall use colored men as aids in the work of suppressing the rebellion, arc questions now deeply agitating the American people; but questions, nevertheless, in relation to which the public mind is fast settling into a remarkable degree of unanimity. No man, with half an eye, can fail to discover the upris ing spirit of our people, or to foresee the all but omnipotent flat of the popular will to put down this infernal rebellion at whatever cost

though to do so a lire be kindled so intense that in it shall be fused the last slave fetter, and though it leave the whole “sunny Mouth'' as desolate as was Sodom after the rain of teles tial Are. The truth is, the war lias not yet been pros ecuted in earnest except by the rebels; it has been characterized, on our part, by a tender ness of rebel life, and a respect for rebel institutions, which they have proved them selves to be utterly unworthy of, and which are now shown to have been only the fruits of a mistaken kindness. We are not sorry that the government hat been forbearing and long suffering in its policy, but the day for the ex ercise of such qualities is past; forbearauee has ceased to be a virtue, and to-day the Amer ican ’people expect, nay, demand that vigor shall mark all its efforts, that parleying shall give place to powder and shell, and that the rebels shall have the choice between only two alternatives, unconditional submission to the authority of the federal government, or utter destruction. The American people ask the government to act upon this idea, and to act promptly. As Gen. Wallace said, they ask for Wab; as yet we have had only skirmishes. We have had enough of entrenchments, enough of the defensive, enough of feeling safe against an “attack,” and we now demand the advance, the assault, the storm, and we want to make the rebel hosts feel that death or submission is just as sure to follow, and to follow speedily, as the thunder crash it to follow the lightning. In a word, the people ask to have restraints removed, and to be allowed to take rebellion by the throat, and strangle it with as little re morse and as little ceremony as a faithful pa rent would observe in shooting the ravisher of his virgin daughter, or the murderer ofhis inno cent babes. Is this an unchristian spirit We deny it. It is the same spirit that, indignant at the usurpations of those who had convert ed God's house into a den of thieves, braided the scourge of small cords, and drove the in vaders from the temple. And the meant to be employed in this work of righteous extermination of rebellion,—what limitations shall the government use in select ing them? In answer to this question we doubt not we utter the feeling of three-fourths of our white population, and ninety-nine one hundretlis of all loyal men, when we say that government should be limited only by the law of utter impossibility, and that of Christian immunity; ana humanity demands that abort work should be made of it, and w ill sanction whatever means are necessary to secure this end. And such means may be used without squeamlshness; and this leads us to the re mark that every muscle, no matter whether covered by a white or a dark skin, should lie made available for this purpose. The rebels hesitate not to use scalping-knives in the hands of the wild Indians; they give to their sol diers, to prepare them for their hellish work, a maddening draught of whiskey and gunpowder: and, thus pre|tared, delirious with passion, and oblivious to all moral sense, they are pitted against our soldiers. God forbid that any velvet policy should longer hold back the American people, to prevent them from making an end of a work for which they have no taste, and which they have entered upon, and are determined to see through, not from any love of war, not from any disregard of our common brotherhood, but from as high a sense of duty as ever animated that honest old Roundhead, Oliver Cromwell, or as swelled the hearts of Hancock, Jefferson, and Adams, when they placed their names to the immortal t Declaration of Independence. We are no advocate ofa rash, indiscriminate license to lawless men to prey upon even the rebels in arms; we advocate no arming of slaves to be turned loose upon defenceless non combatants, to massacre helpless mothers and their innocent babes. We don't believe in any thing of the kind, and we have yet to tlud the first sane man who does; but we would use col ored men—-free or bond—in any w ay that they ran be made useful. If Gen. Hunter can dr gani/.e them into regiments and battalions in South Carolina, and use them to carry war in to Africa, we say “(Jod-speed” to him. If Hallcck can use them to fortify Memphis, God speed to that; if another commander cun use them to convert Vicksburg into an island, another God-speed to that, and if Hutler can use them to perform the hard toil beneath a tropical sun, under which a Northern man would sicken and die, then still another God speed for such a use of our colored brethren. We have not a particle of squeamislmesu on this point. Use them, under the restraints of military order and discipline, in 0111/ troy, with or without arms, as soldiers or as labor era, that they can be used to advantage; and we believe the administration looks at the matter III a similar light. And move than this, We hope neither the President nor his immediate sultordinates. whether in the Cabinet or in the Field, will swerve one iota to accommodate the spirit of faction if not quasi treason, which opposes such a practical application of available power. If not a treasonnlde, it is at least a timid spirit— practically retry little I tetter—that objects to the use of means to save the government and the liberties of the people, and to preserve the Constitution which is the chart of the one and the pledge of the other, because tile Constitu tion itsell has not specifically given the author ity; as though it were unconstitutional to use any means needful to save it from subversion and overt brow The idea is a fallacy worthy only of a brain too small to comprehend the truth, that the spirit of the Constitution is equal in sacredness to its tetter, and that where the latter is silent, and ceases to shed light ms on the path of a statesman's duty, he is hound to consult the former. And the spirit, too. which objects to the em ployment of physical force, because that force is wrapped in a dark colored envelope, or which would refuse to break a link of slav ery in tlie further prosecution of the war, how ever pressing the necessity, is a spir it paralyzing to the strong arm of power, and one for the prevalence of which in the loyal States, no man prays with more sincerity or more unction than Jeff. Davis himself. We hope the administration will heed it not, hut march straight forward, and do its work re gardless of such clamor. We have not wanted to believe that it wus necessary to deal blows directly at the slave institution to accomplish the legitimate purposes of the war; hut if it should become apparent to President Lincoln and his chosen advisers, that slavery stands in the way of the great work of restoration, and that this work is rendered the least doubtful, or is even seriously obstructed by the peculiar curse of the rebel States, we hope, in the spirit of “Old Hickory,” he will “take the responsi bility," and “by the Eternal,” put his big foot down upon the head of the monster with a force that shall stop its breath as effectually as Jackson did that of the monster which so con fronted his offorts. It is the policy of certain democratic jtoliti cians—would-be leaders—to keep up the im pression in the minds of honest and truly loy al men, that the proposition to employ the physical power of tiie colored man on the side of the government, instead of allow ing it to hr: used to strengthen rebellion, is one that is confined to abolitionists and republicans; and they do not fail to denounce it in opprobrious epithets, as a scheme of Wendell Phillips and other persons supposed to be offensive to men of (li>nii>cruliitlii»,r Sa more false in fact or more base in spirit. No body urges the employment of the negro ele ment. in all available ways, with more zeal than do some of the most distinguished demo crats of the country. Gen. Hunter, now set upon by all the pro-slavery hounds, is a demo crat. Mr. Stanton—supposed to favor the views of Gen. Hunter—was a member of Bu chanan's cabinet. Wednesday the telegraph in formed us that Senator Wright, of Indiana—a life-long democrat—spoke at length in the Senate, in favor of the policy of employing slaves. Senator Henderson of Missouri also urged a more vigorous prosecution of the war. The correspondent of the New York World, referring to Senator Wright’s speech, the same day it was delivered, says: “He delivered a most vigorous speech in the Senate to-day, in which he called loudly for a more energetic prosecution of the war. He did not believe the cautious way of conducting the war would ever put down the rebellion. The immediate confiscation of ull property of the rebels, from Slidell down to the lowest reb el owner, he believed was imperatively demand ed, and he would remove any general who re fused to use negroes that came within his lines. The prompt punishment of traitors every where he desired meted out. This speech, coming from a Union Democrat, fell with splendid effect on the Senate, and w as one of the most energetic of the entire session. Senator Bice of Minnesota, a Breckin ridge democrat, a few days since in the Senate, a« re|>orted in the Congressional Globe, said: “I admit that at one time I was not in favor of employing the blacks. I did not believe it was good policy; but I hail no conscientious scruples on the subject. But, sir, the exam ple was set us long ago and has lieen contin ued for years by Great Britain. She has kept in the Canadas one or more regiments of blacks for years u|H>n our frontier, in sight of the American flag; and who, North or South,has ever raised a question as to her right to do so, or as to the moral effect it had upon the com munity? We all acquiesced in it; no one said it was wrong; and if it was not wrong for Great Britain to have regiments of armed blacks to protect her frontiers against us, is it wrong for us to employ the same means to put down reliels? especially when they resort to infernal machines, to torpedoes, to assassina tions, to poison; shall we, from any sickly mo tives of delicacy and mistaken tenderness,hes itate We have not men enough on the Po tomac to authorize an advance, and unleta we get them soon we must cease our exertions to maintain the integrity of the Union. God knows we can employ no means worse than the rebels have employed; but I would not r.JUn. k...l ..II I resort to all tlie means that are known in civ ilized warfare to suppress this rebellion and puuish the rebels. I would not hesitate for a moment. I will vote for any measure to that end. In view of such facts therefore, when we find a political leader trying to prejudice the pro|> osition referred to by denouncing it as a scheme of abolitionists and fanatics, we mark him down as a wilful deceiver, who thinks a thousand times more of serving his party than of serving his country, and whose boasted loyalty is no deeper set than the color of an African's skin. Paris Hili., Me., July 14,18fi2. To the Editor* of the I* re** :—A deep gloom has been cast over this village, by the sudden and distressing death by drow ning of George William Chase, which occurred at Kent's Hill, on Monday last. He was the son, and eldest child of one of Portland's favorite men, William Chase, Esq., for whom and whose family, a deep sympathy will pervade the business communi ty and many households,in this the day of their calamity. While bathing on Monday evening, it is sup posed he was seized w ith thecrainp, and before help could reach him. he found a watery grave. The body was recovered early on Tuesday morning: and having been neatly prepared and coffin’d for burial, it was brought by Mr. and Mrs. Eaton, of the licadllcld Academy, to Dan ville Junction, where it was delivered to the hands of the sorrow-stricken father, who bore it to Paris, and was the first to break the news of the irreparable loss to the family. On Monday,—the day he w as drowned, his father in Portland, and his mother here, each received a letter from him, bearing affection ate memories of home, and full of testimonials of filial obedience ami love; and while his parents were happy in the letters they had re ceived, and read over and over again during the day, how little did they dream of the sad tidings w hich were being written by an inscru table Providence, whose meanings will be a life-sorrow to them, to be relieved only by the trust of the heart in the wisdom and goodness of God, and by the unspeakable consolations of the religion of the Saviour. M. Hon. W. P. Fessenden, has laid us un der renewed obligations by his kind attentions. A Democrat worthy ot his Ancestral name. The readers of the Press have heard of the “Anti-Abolition, anti-secession” gathering at Cooper Institute, New York, at which Fernan do Wood, James Brooks and other kindred patriots figured largely, and which saved itself from utter execration only by a transpar ent trick—the bringing forward of an old man from the heroic State of old Kentucky; we refer to Ex-Gov. Wickliffe. His name alone, we repeat, was about the only thing connected with the gathering referred to that served to screen the evil purposes of the man agers, and to redeem the whole movement from utter execration. It was a sort of Win throp Hall Convention of last August, letter fitted to encourage the enemies than the friends of the country—a movement along side of which treason could spring up, thrive and go to seed, without the slightest inconvenience. This meeting, under the management of its getters-up, made Hon. Kichakd Bi’stkko one of its Vice Presidents. Mr. Busteed is a prominent lawyer of that city, of Irish descent, straight-forward, bold, impetuous, eloquent—a man who has been identified with intensified democracy, no sore-head, not tender-footed on the “negro question,” but inclined tola' a hard shell, and ready to go all proper lengtha, at least, to accommodate the South and to secure her in the peaceful maintenance of her institu tions. But since the slaveholders have precip itated the country into a war simply because they could no longer rule it. anil make it a mere bob for their “peculiar” kite. Mr. Busteed, like any other honest ami patriotic man, re fuses to bow to the behests of traitors, or to recognize in them a single right while they are in armed rebellion against the constitutional authority of the land. Having been made a Vice President of the meeting referred to. in his absence and with out his consent, and knowing the base purposes with which his name was to In- thus connect ed, and knowing further that the association ofhis name with that movement would Ik- mis understood, and the weight of its influence be given to projects which he could not approve, he promptly addressed a note to the New York Tribune, in w hich he declined the equivocal compliment, and which contains the following sharp and unmistakable language: In concluding this war for the nation's life, 1 would act upon the advice of La Pucella to Burgundy, “Strike those that hurt, and hurt not those that help.” 1 am in favor of the restoration of the Union as it was. with this qualification: It shall be a Union in which the citizens of each State shall not only Ik1 entitled to have, but actually have, “all privileges and immunities of citizens in the several .States," and in whirh a New York er shall not be in peril of an application of tar and feathers or hanging iu Georgia or Ala bama. if he intimates that slavery is not a di vine institution. 1 am rio{ in favor of maintaining “the const! union as u is, any lunger inuii is requisite in amend it in the manner provided by law. 1 want a constitution in which then* shall la* no saving clause or ambiguous provision in favor of slavery, but whieh shall be founded upon the principle of God's eternal justice, ami square with Ilis golden rule. These sentiment*, you |s*rreivc, disqualify ine from fraternizing with tlie so-called "Anti Ahnlitiou, anti-secession” gathering at the Cooper Institute. They rather place me with in tlie anathema and death sentence pronounced by that di-tiiigiii-hed orator, Fernando Wood, against those who believe that “all men are en dowed by their Creator with certain inaliena ble right*, among which ‘are life, liberty anti the pursuit of happiness.’” RiniAitD Uustf.kii. No. 257 Broadway, New York, July 3, lStSi Heroic Dnring. We have heretofore mentioned the fact that the bravery of the Maine boys in tlie army is proverbial, and individual instances of heroic daring an* coming to our knowledge every day; and as time passes, these instances will multiply until Maine will show a hand of he roes worthy of any age. An instance occurs to us. When the “army of the Potomac” was before Yorktown, some companies of the Maine Sev enth were detailed as skirmishers, and found themselves on the banks of a little crooked stream, on tlie opposite side of whicli was post ed a strong rebel force, well fortified. A |H>r tion of Company K had found their way to a little point, caused by a bend of tlie stream, which was well covered with wood, and which overlooked the rebel fort. But this little point was separated from the main land by an inter vale, which was commanded by tlie rebel ri fles. One of our generals, desirous of posting some artillery, requested that the fire of the skirmishers should eease until their guns could be placed in position, and Lieut. Fooo started to inform those who were posted on the front, who were commanded by apt. Coohkaxk. He found himself, while crossing the little open apace, the mark for four reiiel shar|is!moters, but succeeded in gaining the point unharmed, and delivered the general's order. While there the reiiel squad was increased to seven, who. with loaded rifles, were waiting to riddle him. Nothing daunted, the gallant lieutenant started on his return, knowing the greeting he would receive. Nine times they tired, one bullet pass ing through his cap, one through liis panta loons, and one through his coat, but tlie brave fellow escaped unharmed. Notice of New Publication*.

We did not see the com munication until we read it in proof, and then we marked out the objectionable paragraph, and directed it to lie left out of tile paper, but by one of those oversights which sometimes occur in making up forms, even w ith extreme care, tile direction upon the proof sheet was overlooked. The Press recommends no vio lence or disregard of law—especially in cases in relation to which we have good and whole some statutes. It will in no eaae recommend lawlessness or anarchy, in dealing with men in our midst, though it will heartily rejoice at the application of any correctives of latent treason, w hen prescribed under tin- forms of law, or by the legitimate legal authorities. It must be a very extreme ease to justify anything farther than this.

LATEST BY EVENING PAPERS. Threatened Difficulty at Harper's Ferry— Stores Demoted—Our Pickets reported driven in—Fierce Hattie expected at Win chester—Skirmish at Harrison's Landiny —Matters in Kentucky—Confiscation Bill Approved. New Yoke, July 17. Harper’s Kerry correspondent of the Tri bune, under drte or July 15, states that fears are entertained that we shall sonn have trouble. In consequence of the threatening appearance of matters at Winchester, the stores and all other valuables of the army have been safely removed here. It is reported here that our pickets were driven in below Winchester last evening. In anticipation of danger the telegraph office at that place has been removed a mile from town, near the fortifications. The IHends of the South here and at Mar tinsburg are acting as if they had heard good news, and express confidence that the rebels will make a raid into the Valley as far as Win chester before many days. There seems to be a general impression here that Winchester will be tlie scene of a tierce battle liefore a week. It is rumored that Jackson with half the large army which he took to Kichmond so sud denly, has returned and been reinforced by numerous guerrilla bands. During tlie past ten days our vast depots of supplies at New Creek, Martinslmrg and other places have been broken up and the stores re moved elsewhere. The Times' army correspondent under date of 15th. states the position of the main body of the army near Harrison's Lauding, remains unchanged. Yesterday a squadron of the 6th U. S. cav alry went a mile beyond the pickets for the purpose of preventing the surprise of a fatigue party. The enemy’s videttes were discovered half a mile in advanee. For upwards of two hours the two parties sat quietly on their horses, watching each other until the enemy became exceedingly restless and showed signs of hostility. The 6th allowed him to advance a few yards, and then gave him a volley from their carbines. A few shots were tired in re turn by the rebels, on which they turned about and galloped off. No one injured on our side. The enemy lost three wounded and one taken prisoner. At night the pickets were posted on the line occupied by the cavalry, consequently our pickets advanced one mile." The main force of the rebels is not less than 15 miles from our exterior line, which would locate them on the Trent and Gaines' Mills.the former of which is oq the west and tlie latter on the east side of the Chickahominy. Our new base of operations will lead to our approaching Kichmond from another quarter than that of Mechanicsville or Fair Oaks. The public will readily perceive the direction most likely to lie taken by the enemy. The only question is when wrill active operations lie com menced. I he people of the North are as competent as myself to judge of what is required to hasten forward the auspicious moment. Give us re inforcements and we will give you Kichmond. Reinforcements have already arrived; but do not fear repletion—the more men we have and the sooner they join us, the lietter it will be for themselves, and the country and the cause. The transport Vanderbilt with a flag of truce, went up the river yesterday for the purpose of bringing down our sick and wounded. She returned at a late hour last night, with about 1*00 on board. Loosvii.i.e. July 16. Morgan was at Mtalway yesterday and cut the telegraph, tore up the 'railroad and took everything convertible to his use.

He said he would visit Lexington and Frankfort before lie got through with his job. Lexingtonians say they have ample force to protect the town, hut not enough to take the offensive. Later.—Our pickets are falling back on tile Georgetown road. The rebels are ap proaching in force. Our men. with several pieces of artillery, are marching on George town to meet the rebels. The railroad and telegraph to Medway are repaired, but the burnt bridge at Kevsors has not yet been re built. Washinotos, July 17. Among the confirmations by the Senate last night, were that of S. F.

matters about town. Dogs vs. Gurus Homo.—Two dogs having lx?en drafted into conflict last evening, at Gor ham Corner, were approximating to that stage of the game when it was feared a second Kil kenny cat case would be enacted, when the owners, a objection to Congress deciding in ad vance that they shall be free. Kentucky, as I am informed, has been the owner of some slaves, anil has sold none, but liberated all. I hope the same is true of some other States; indeed, I do not believe it would lie physical ly possible for the general government to re turn persons so circumstanced to actual slavery. I believe there would be physical re sistance to it, which would never lie turned aside by argument, nor driven away by force. In this view of it I have no objection to this feature of tlie bill. Another matter valued in these two sections, and running through other parts of the act, will lie noticed hereaflerr. I perceive no objection to the 3d and 4th sections. So far as I wish to notice the 5th and Oth sections, they may Ik- considered to gether, that the enforcement of these sections would do no injustice to the persons embraced within them. It is clear that those who make a causeless war should be rom]ielled to pay the cost of it. It is too obviously just to be called In question. To give government protection to tlie property of persons who have abandon ed it, and gone on a crusade to overthrow that same government, is alisurd if considered in the mere light of justice. The severest justice may not always lie the best policy. The prin ciple of seizing and appropriating the property of persons embraced within these sections is certainly not very objectionable, but a justly indiseriininating application of it would be very ditlicult, and to a great extent imiiossible: and would it not be wise to place a fiower of remission somewhere so that these persons may know they have something to save by de sisting. 1 am not sure whether such power of remission is or is not within section 3, without a special act of (Congress. I think our military commanders when, in military phrase, they are within the enemy’s country, should in aii orderly manner seize and keep whatever of real and personal profierty may lie necessary or convenient lor their commands, and at the same time preserve in some way the evidence of what they do. What I have said in regard to slaves while commenting on the 1st ami 2d sections, is ap plicable to the iith, with the difference that no provision is made in file whole act for deter mining whether a particular individual slave does or does not fall within the class defined. Within that section lie is to lie free upon cer tain conditions, but whether these conditions do or do not iiertain to him, no mode of ascer taining is provided. This could be easily sup I— To the 10th section 1 make no objection.— The oath therein required teems to he proper, and the remainder of the section is siibsianlial ly idental with a law already existing. The 11 tli section simply assumes to confer discretionary powers upon the Executive with out the law. 1 have no hesitation to go us tar in the direction indicated as 1 may at any time deem expedient, and I am ready to say now, I think it is proper for military commanders to employ as laborers, as many persons of African descent as can be used to advantage. Tile 12th and 13th sections are something better; they are unobjectionable. The 14th is entirely proper, if all other parts of the act shall stand. That to which 1 chiefly object pervades the most part of the act., but more distinctly appears in the 1st. 2d, 7th and 8th sections. It is the sum of these provisions Which results in the divesting of title forever for the rattses of treason, the ingredients of treason, lull amounting to the full crime. It declares forfeiture, extending briefly the lives of tlie guilty parties. Whereas the’ Constitu tion of the U. S. declares that no attainder of treason shall w ork corruption of blood or for feiture except during the life of the person attainted. True there is to be no formal at tainder in this ease, still 1 think the greater punishment cannot be constitutionally inflicted in a different form for the same offence. With great respect 1 am constrained to say I think this feature of the act unconstitutional. It would not lie difficult to modify. 1 may remark that the provision of the Con stitution, put in language borrowed from Great Britain, applies in this country, as I under- stand, to real estate. Again this’ act, by pro ceedings in view, forfeits property for the, in gredients of treason without a conviction of the supposed criminal, or a personal hearing given him in any proceeding, that we may not touch property lying within our reach, because we cannot give personal notice to an owner who is absent endeavoring to destroy the gov ernment, is certainly not very satisfactory;— still, the owner may not thus lie engaged, and I think a reasonable time should be provided for such parties to appear and have personal hearing. Similar provisions are not uneoui inon in connection with proceedings in reqp.— Kor the reasons staled, 1 return the hill to the House in which it originated. Aubaham Lincoln. From Washington. Washington. July 17. Congress, during the recent session, has ap propriafed about 800.000,000 dollars, including upwards of 000,000,01)0 for the army and some what less than 100,000,(100 for the Navy. Among the most important hills po«t|>oned by the House, or remaining unacted ujioii an tin' following: Providing for the admission of the State of Western Virginia into the Union; for the en largement of tin- 111. A- Mich. Canal; providing I for a uniform system of bankruptcy; for the appointment of a commission to ascertain tin losses incurred by loyal citizams from the ap propriation of their property by United States troops; the bankrupt hill; the bill appropriat ing two huudrid millions for border slave State emancipation purposes. The Senate took no (fellnits* action upon the House hills to totally abolish the franking privilege and to repeal all laws allowing mile age including the present members of Con gress. The nouse bill providing for the discharge or trial ol State prisoners failed in the Senate. Among the last acts signed by the President was the one authorizing the issue of postage and other government stamps as currency and prohibiting hank and other corporations from issuing notes below the denomination of $1 for circulation. The President and members of the Cabinet occupied the Vice President’s room at the Capitol while attending to the public business. The Secretary of War iu response, to a res olution of the House, calling for all the evi dence on the tiles relating to the question whether any member or members of Congress have had any interest iu government contracts since April, transmitted a printed copy of the diK-ument heretofore sent to the Senate, con taining the arrangement made between Mr. Schubarts and Senator Simmons which lie says is all the information on the flies of that department. Maj. Win. II. Polk of Tenn. has secured the release on parole, from Fort Warren, of Maj. Porter of that State, who will return South to ask the release on parole of 1st Lieut. F. MeElhone of Philadelphia, of the 14th U. S. infantry, a wounded prisoner at Savage’s stream near Richmond. Col. K. C. Knight, late of the 83d regiment N. Y. uolunteers is discharged from the ser vice. Secessionism in Vermont. White River Junction, July 17. Yesterday Capt. Swett of the 17th U. S. In fantry sent an oflieer from West Lebanon, N. H. to Norwich Vt., to open a recruiting office, who hoisted the American ensign on the hotel. During the night, after 12 o'clock, a party of secessionists, w ho have lately been very open in their conduct and rejoicing over the so call ed retreat of Gen. McClellan, placed a ladder against the house got upon the roof and saw ed the flag staff iu two, and carried away the flag. They also broke the blinds of the win dows and committed outrages. Capt. Swett immediately on learning these facts, started for Norwich with another flag and will have an armed guard to protect it. From Fortress Monroe. Fortress Monroe, July 17. At the Mill Creek Hospital there are about 200 patients, most of whom are convalescent and many of w hom will soon return to their regiments. Their names have already apjx-ar ed iu print. A rumor lias been afloat for the last 24 hours that the rebels had driven 1 sick our forces at Williamsburg and taken possession, ort to concen trate the forces on his outposts, lie took up his line of march and his entire force is now on route for this point. From 800 to 1000 re bels, under Maltlock, were on our front, who fired upon tlie forage trains from canehrake and barricaded all the roads leading South wards with trees felled by negroes, and placed every conceivable obstacle in tlie way of our men, blit we are over and the army is safe. We had a number of skirmishes on the route, in all of which the rebels we re w hipped. No casualties. Col. Hoods, of the Illinois :>ld, with four companies of regiment and a battery, routed two Texan regiments at a [mint between Cot ton Plantation and Bayou Coashee, witii a loss to them of 110 killed. Our loss was 5 filled and 7 wounded. All the sick and wounded were brought along. XXXVIIth CONGRESS—First Session. Washington, July 17. SENATE. The Dill to defray tlie expenses of enrolling the Deleware Indians was passed. Tlie bill from the House making postage stamps legal currency was passed. Other measures were acted upon. Tlie Senate was alternately in open and closed session. At 2 o’clock Mr. Fessenden reported that the President had no communication to make. The President's message on confiscation was laid on the table and ordered to lie printed. A vote of thanks was passed to Mr. Foote, President pro tern of tlie Senate, to which lie appropriately replied, and declared tlie Senate adjourned sine tlie. IIOl’sE. A message from the President was received and read. J.aid on tlie table and ordered to la1 printed. He says lie lias approved of Doth tlie confiscation lull and the supplemental reso lution, considering them both one act. Be fore he was informed of the passage of the I**1*—1————— I resolution, he had prepared a draft of veto message; as the hill does not touch the persons or property of loyal citizens, it is just and proper. A message was received from the President recommending a suitable acknowledgement he made to Mr. Vanderbilt for his gift to the gov ernment of the vessel of that name, which has been and is now rendering valuable serAiee.— Referred to the naval committee. A joint n olution making appropriations for incidental expenses in the Indian Department was passed. About 2 the proceedings were temporarily interrupted by a message from the Senate that that body having completed their business,was now ready to clase the session. (Cries of good.) The Speaker said that the hour having ar rived lor the adjournmen, I hereby declare the House adjourned nine die. Bounty to Volunteers. Ai.bany, July 17th.

Agency or the U. S. San. Com., I 498 Broadway, July 4th, 1882. To all Loyal Citizen* of the United State*: The Executive Committee of the United States Sanitary Commission, acting under au thority from the National Government, is once more compelled to appeal to the people on be half of the sick and wounded of the people's armies, east and west. For their relief it asks for money and supplies—at once, and in abun dance. The necessity is too much to admit of any elaborate statement of its nature and extent, or of the work the Commission is doing.— Some information on both [mints will lie ob tained from letters and papers herewith laid before the public. They have been taken al most at random, for there is not time even to look through the letters and reports in the hands of the Executive Committee. It is suf ficient to add, that high officers, at many points, have repeatedly acknowledged the ser vices rendered hy tlie Commission, (or rather by the people of whom the Commission is an almoner.) to their respective commands, as of the highest value ami importance. From May 1st to July 1st, the Commission has expended $37,585 72-100. About nine tenths of this sum has been laid out in the purchase of hospital stores and appliances for the relief of the sick and wounded at every im|iortant military station, and in the equip ment of the floti.la of steamers and sailing vessels now in the service of the Commission as Hospital Transports. Its treasury is now nearly exhausted, at the very moment when the army most needs its aid. and when, if it had a hundred thousand dollars at its com mand, it would still lie far too w eak for the ur gent work before it. and would still be obliged to see hundreds perishing for want of its aid, in the army of the Potomac alone. Thousands of brave men are now lying without sufficient shelter, food, or attendance. In the camps and depots on Janies Kiver.— Very many of them are destined to perish who could have been preserved by a blanket, a suit of hospital clothing, and a' few erfltious. By order of the Executive Committee. x. T' STRONG, Treasurer. II. W. Bki.i.ows, Pj-esident. Contributions in money are earnestly solicit ed and. from citizens of Maine, may be ad drsesed Ui Win. H. Hadley, Agent Lf. S. Sail. Com. Portland; or to Geo. K. Davis, State Agent San. Com. Supplies most needed are— 1st,cotton drawers: 2d, shirts; 3d,sheets; 4th slippers; 5th, mosquito netting. Old worn cotton and linen cloths can be advantageously used to any amount. All supplies should be addressed to Geo. I{. Davis, as above. •More than 10,000 sick and wounded men have thus b«ii transported to the .North by the Commission, with special attention to their care aud comfort up to this dale. A lawyer once came into court drunk, when the judge said to him:— IT’. ®orr>' "ee you in a situation which is a disgrace to yourself and family, and the profession to which you belong.” This reproof elicited the following colloquy: “Did your honor speak to me “I did, sir. I said, sir, that in my opinion you disgraced yourself and family, the court, and the p-ofession, by your course of conduct." “May i-i-it please your honor, I have been an attorney in-in-in this c-c-eourt for fifteen years, and permit me to say, your honor, that this is llie first correct opiuion I ever knew you to give.” MISCELLANEOUS.

PROSPECTUS or THK PORTLAND DAILY PRESS: JC D I T E I> BY JOHN T. GILMAN, recently of the Bath Times, AMD JOSEPH B. HALL, of the Aroostook Hkrald. The Portland Daily Press in intended to be an enterprising, vigorous and lire Daily Morning Paper, containing the latest and fullest news by mail and telegraph. THE MAINE STATE PRESS Is a large, well-tilled, carefully edited, and neatly printed trtelli/ paper, intended specially fur general circulatiun 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 ttic Stale, ami of the City of Portland as its interests twine with, and are inseparable from, those of the State. Politically, the Prebs will give an earnest, cordial, and generous supjmrt to the administration of Abra ham Lixcoen, 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 man; the ability of whose ad ministration Is most signally exhibited, not 'only in the matchless operations of our army and navy, hut In the nil paralleled fact that, in the midst of tills gigantic rebellion, our Government securities are selling at a premium. It will zealously labor to ex hibit and defend sonnd Republican principles, and, inasmuch as imlitical organizations have become a necessity in carrying into effect great principles of political economy, and inasmuch as .the Republican party which, 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 I nJou 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 Press will cordially sustain the organization of that party, not with a design to foster a mere partisan spirit, hut in the full eonlciooanesa 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 /rue democracy—that the majority must govern. l'l>on the exciting question of 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 ctiaracter, nor attempt to resist the tide of events that seems destined to swoop 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 witli tin* loy a) State governments, to secure gradual eman cipation, as proposed by President Lincoln, and all other constitutional measures looking to a peaceful i removal of onr greatest “moral, nolitieal ami .octal evil,” will find in the I’hkm a generous and hearty support. W liile thus distinctly announcing the general course promised for the Prkaa, and intending that, alike in war and in peace—in our country’s peril and in its triumph, it shall speak with no uncertain voice, we do not lose sight of the fact that tme men have hon estly differed, and that, coming by different routes they now find themselves travelling parallel roads; aud. instead of seeking to widen the differences be tween those who are required by a common patriot ism to act in concert, the Urea* will labor hoprfully to encourage unity of purpose and harmony of act ion amoug all loyal men. Aside from its political detriment, the Prea* will be earnestly devoted to the advance merit of the best interests of the city and State. Its Local Depart ment will in no case be neglected. Particular atten tion will be giien to the Commercial and Maritime interests. It will Ik- the aim of its conductors to make j it an indispensable institution of the State, and a ge nial and welcome visitor iu every work-shop, count ing-house. and family circle. The Editors, not un known to the people of Maiue, will give their undivi ded energies to the work before them, and labor to make such a pw|«*r as the city of Portland, the State of Maine, and the exigencies of the times demand— one that shall be true to the popular instinets. The Portland Daily Preaa is printed with en tirely new type, on a sheet as large as that of any daily in Maiue, and Issued every morning, (Sun days excepted.) at W per annum. Subscriptions for less than sjx months, 50 cents per month. The Maine State Preaa, large, neatly printed, aod well filled with the news of the week, and orig inal and selected Political. Agricultural, Literary and Miscellaneous remdiug. making it specially adapted to live Family Circle, will lie issued weekly, at (1 JSC per year, idvariahiy in advance.

That for Children Cutting Teeth, if troubled with Diarrlura or any irregularities of the bowels, all oth er remedies are insignificant, as compared with CLEM'S SUMMER I RE, That for Children troubl'd with Canker in mouth or stomach, or mothers suffering from nursing sore mouth, a safe and speedy cure is effected by the use of CLEM'S SIMMER Cl'RE. That for Coughs, Hoarseness and Bronchial aflhet- I ions, there is no remedy extant that »o universally i afford# relief as HOWES’ COUGH TILLS. That for a Tightness or Wheezing in the Chest, j Tains in the side, or a loug standing Hack, the best remedy is HOWE’S COUGH TILLS. That a# an expectorant and ameliorating agent in cases of Ththisic.
