Contagious Pleuro-Pneiimonin. The history of this disease in the United States presents some features of interest to the cattle growing community and perhaps not less so to all who eat lieef. It was brought into Massachusetts, alxtut three years ago, by means of cattle imported from Holland by Mr. Cheuery of Belmont. In his buildings its rav ages were very much aggravated, during the next winter, by want of ventilation. It did not spread, however, beyond his own premises, until he sold some calves to go to North Brookfield, where it spread with rapidity, and caused much alarm. The Legislature took up the matter, and appointed commissioners, who killed the sick and also those which had Ixien exposed, and the disease was supposed to lx* eradicated; but last year it broke out again, having leaked through somewhere or some how. The former commission having expired, the Legislature provided for a new one. The Council were so skeptical as to the reality of a dangerous contagious disease, and so fully believed that the al^rin was causeless, and the proposed expense needless, that they put on the commission two of their own faith, togeth er with one who had seen the disease anil knew the truth of the case. They were soon called upon in their official capacity to inves tigate and take action. The “logic of facts'* was sufficient to convert them speedily. Last month (June) they issued a circular to the farmers of Massauhusctts, of which we give an extract below: “The disease termed pleuro-pneumonia has appeared in several herds of cattle in the east ern portion of the State during the present season. The State Cattle Commissioners have adopted the most effective measures to prevent its dissemination. All cattle that have been u, vs mi me cacc|;iiuii ui IUU1, iu»\c uccil destroyed. (These were sold and lost sight of; search is still made for them.) The Commis sioners have been forced to this mode hy the logic of facts. These have been scrutinized with the utmost care and vigilance. No op portunities have l>een suffered to pass without improvement, and no efforts have been regard ed as vain which promised to throw light upon the origin and characteristics of the disease. Two of the three Commissioners commenced their labors with a feeling that by careful in quiry. and by thorough examination, they should be enabled to demonstrate to the pub lic the inexpediency of the action of the for mer Board of Commissioners, as well as the groundlessness of the apprehensions of many in4Kgard to the fatal character of the disease. Um nil lull 111 ii n had published treatises to prove, that pleuro-pueumonia was generated in poorly ventilated barns, and was not infec tious. Tlie tacts, as developed to the Commis sioners, have constrained them to discard their first impressions, aud to deny the positions of the various writers before ailuded to. 'they have, moreover, thoroughly convinced them selves that the worst apprehensions in regard to the diseases are well founded and wise.— They have found the disease prevailing in barns of every variety of structure, and of all degrees of ventilation, and even in the open fields. They have traced it from root to I tranches, whither it flows as surely as tile sap flows in trees. They do not And a single case outside of the line of transmission. As surely as every rivulet tends towards the sea. does each case connect itself with its fountain heart. The conclusion is irresistible, that if any dis ease he infectious this one is.

Farmers of Massachusetts! be not beguiled into a false security. By efficient regulations and prompt action, this fatal disease may lie excluded from the limits of our State. But in this matter the price of exemption is eternal vigilance. Be on your guard; keep all un known and suspected cattle far from your herds. See that no stray cows as- allowed to wander in your streets, and even take care to know tlie slate of each herd whence come cows to lie served by your bulls. Especially lie cautious as to the cattle sent to a distance in the country to lie pastured, ami do not al low them to be returned to your farms in the fall without a clean bill of health. Be not afraid of being thought “fussy;” and, in partic ular, place no reliance ujion tlie theories of in experienced or prejudiced parties who may strive to persuade you that this disease is not infectious, or that animals which have onee had it and have recovered, are safe compan ions for other cattle. Total alistinenee from all that can contaminate is the only safety.— This is our faith, the result of our studv and experience. Speaking of the disease in New Jersey, they say: “They visited herds which had been infected with the disease; found some where a large portion had died. They killed and examined a sick cow, and identified the disease with that in Massachusetts. In all instances where it existed it had been introduced by cattle bro’t from Philadelphia The apprehensions of the farmers in that region had lieen aroused, and the Commissioners found that a species of iso lation had been resorted to; but this was far from being thorough and efficient. Cattle were allowed on the highway, even in some of the infected districts. Very erroneous impres sions existed in regard to the character of the disease, even umong those who were called to treat it. Attention was given only to such an imals as had come down with the disease, and attempts were made to treat these by various remedial processes, and those which lived, and recovered their vital energies w ere regarded as safe—an error, than which, none more fatal ex ists. It has been demonstrated to the Com missioners for Massachusetts, that the la:-t state of this disease is more pernicious than the first, —in other words, that recovery is worse than I death. We say to the farmers of Massachu setts, when the disease appears in your herds, separate the sick from the well, andlmth from all other cattle: fatten the cattle, if you can, for lieef, and kill all of them. This is the on ly safe and effective remedy.” The same disease lias existed in the milk dairy stahles of New York and Brooklyn, ever since April, 1848, when it was introduced by a cow' taken on shipboard in Europe, to give mi|k on the passage, and afterwards sold to a dairyman of Brooklyn. The disease has proved fatal to hundreds, and perhaps thousands, oj cows, but all do not take it. A majority have not shown themselves susceptible to the infec tion, just as some persons do not to the mea sles, or small-pox, when exposed to it. The excitement got up some years since by Frank Leslie, altout “swill-milk,” had no other foundation than the existence of this disease. Instead of bring diseased, and giving poison ous milk by reason of living on bad food, the cows have good food, and an abundance of it; and those which esca]ie the contagion soon be come the fattest I ever saw. Not long ago I looked in at one of these es tablishments, where nearly a thousand cows are kept. One had just been turned out into the yard—a most unmistakable case of pleu ro pneumonia, and I w as told that the scaven ger had taken aw'ayT six that morning. When attacked they soon dry up. The others give as good milk as any cows could which were shut up, ami did not have thesun of a pasture. The disease has spread but little, considering the time it has existed there; but this is be cause none go out except to the butcher, or to be buried by the scavenger. But it has ex tended into New Jersey and Pennsylvania,and there is danger of its being carried anywhere, and at any time. The worst feature of the case is, that the farmers there look upon it as a visitation, tj be borne with what patience it may—not to lie got rid of; and they mostly seem very indiff erent to its existence, or threatened ravages, apparently hoping to keep their own herds clear of it- While it is extremely foolish for us. at this distance, to feel alarmed every time a horned animal shows sigus of any sickness, ordies.it behooves the farmers of Maine to see to it that it Is- not introduced. It has nev er been in the State yet, although several times so reported, and it w ill not exist here un til it is brought in. At any rate, it has never yet been known to originate in this country, except from infection, and there is no proba bility that it ever will. S. L. G.

Well Done, Waldoboro'. Waldoboro’, in Liueoln County, lias been of ten taunted for her supposed lack of sympathy for tlie war now being prosecuted for the sup pression of the rebellion, and has sometimes been accused of sympathies of a very different character. We are glad to learn that she longer refuses submission to such aspersions upou her good name; that she lias nobly come up to the work, and is determined, if money can raise her quota of troops—about filly un der the recent caii—that they shall he forth coming. A reliable friend in that town communicates the fact that at a town meeting fully attended, the town has voted to pay $100 each, in addi tion to tlie State and national bouutics, to a sufficient number of men to till her quota, and that private subscriptions to the amount of nearly $700, to lie used in stimulating enlist ments, have been made up. The subscribers to the private enlistment fund are as follows: Joseph Clark, and Ueed, Welt Co., $100 each; Bey. T. S. Robie, $50; S. W. Jackson, $40; S. S. Marble, 930; Isaac Comery, L. L. Kennedy, A. B, Austin, and Newell Winslow, $20 each; twenty-five individuals, $10, and four others $5 each, making $070 thus raised, to be added to tlie sum raised by the town. Now, if our Waldoboro’ friends will talk, and feel fur and tympaihize with tlie enlist ment enterprise, and encourage their young men to volunteer ill a holy and ju>l cause, then their efforts will soon be crowned with success; but ill vain are bounties and subscrip tions, If not accompanied with earnest heart sympathies, to warm up the hearts of our peo ple, aud stimulate them to lay their lives upou their country's altar. Abuses of the Soldier— Misplaced Confi de nee. We are not unmindfUl of the fact that any person who has charge of a large body of men, whether in the field or in the workshop, in the hospital or in the camp, has a thankless task before him, for, however cautiously he may move or however impartially he may act, he is sure to be found fault with by those who do not sec tilings in a comprehensive light, but take one-sided and imperfect views of his du ty. We know this is almost necessarily so with our officers near the battle-field, ami par ticularly with those having charge of the sick, and to whose case lioine-atTeetions have com mitted a thousand little tokens of love and re gard seut. from the peaceful firesides of the North to nourish and refresh those who are de prived of such home-comforts, and are com pelled to take the risks, the hazards and the hardships incident to camp-life. We ure not j ignorant of the fact attested by universal ob nervation, that some people seem incapable of appreciating exact right and justice, so that, J when these arc meted out with perfect im partiality, they feel that they are neglected and have reasonable cause for complaint and fault-finding. In view of such considerations we have nev er felt at liberty to give currency to vague complaints against our army officers, or to lis ten to indefinite charges of unfairness, partial ity, neglect, or anything of the kind. Hence when we have heard complaints against sur geons. nurses, matrons, sanitary officers, etc., we have allowed the tales to float by as the idle w ind, hoping and believing that such com plainings were but the almost inseparable ae 1 companyments of much of the camp-life to which our heretofore active young soldiers arc subjected, and that the complainings are not so much the lruits ol an evil heart, as of rest less, impatient and earnest spirits, irritated by non-action, and chafing for that active employ ment, both of mind and muscle, to which they have been accustomed. But we cannot thus brush aside and dispose of specific and definite statements of fact, which come to us in soberness, wrung from in jured soldiers, whose word would have weight in any court of justice, whose integrity has never been impeached, and whose courage has never been found wanting. We say then, that we have the most indubitable evidence of the grossest injustice and criminality practiced by men whose office it is specially to protect the health and comfort of the soldier—crimes,which, committed here at home, would doom the guilty to public execration if not to a public prison, and which show how sadly misplaced in some instance*, have been the bestowal of official honors, and the authority and emolu ments growing out of such official distinctions. We should Ik- guilty of injustice to meritori ous parties did we not sjieak more definitely. We will state, therefore, thatsome oft lie truest and noblest specimens ol manhood that can be found in the ranks of the 3d Maine Regiment, have felt compelled to caution their friends against sending forward boxes of comforts in tended for the soldiers, to lie placed in charge of certain officers w ho have been accustomed to take the supervision of such contributions when they have arrived at their destination. In some instances persons at home, who could illy afford to do so, have purchased jellies, pre serves. dried fruits, cordials, wines, oranges, lemons, &c„ also slurts, drawers, and other comfortable and needed articles ol' appareljmd forwarded them to their friends, or for the use of the sirk; and in some instances, those for whom they were intended never have seen the first article. Xewr shirts and draws have lieen appropriated by officers, sometimes sold for a good price; the same with the jellies, pre serves, e uninteresting: Major General John Pope, now command ing the Army of Virginia, is a native of Kas kaskia, III., and the son of Judge Pope, IT. S. District Judge for the district of Illinois, an officer similar to Judge Ware of this State.— Gen. Pope was educated at West Point for the army, and has always been in it. lie is prob I ably less than forty years old. It is not known that lie ever allied himself with any political party, but his father was an old-line Whig. Governor Washburn is very much pleased with the noble response of the Portland Banks to furnish nearly one-half of the money, neces sary to pay the Stale bounty to volunteers un der the recent call. They offer to furnish live per cent, of their whole capital, or $133,700.— This patriotic conduct speaks for itself. In a letter from the 7th regiment, in your issue of the 29th. it is stated that Major Hyde of that regiment has accepted the Lt. Colonel cy of the 19th regiment. If so, lie has accc]> ted what has never been offered him. The Governor of the State has appointed and com missioned Capt. Francis E. Heath, of the 3d regiment, I,t. Col. of the 19th. Major Hyde of the 7th needs no promotion to secure recognition of his merits, as he is well known as a most gallant and able officer. 1 have it from the best authority, that many of the leading Democrats who have all along extolled and championized Gen. McClellan, have, since the battles before Richmond, changed in their estimation of him, and now openly pronounce him a failure, probably be cause they deem him of not sufficient capacity to be the nucleus for the re-organization of their party. Recruiting is going on splendidly all over the state, anil in a few days the four new reg iments will he full. A large number of men are also enlisting into the regiments already in the field. This is as it should be. It is far preferable to fill up the old regiments than to raise new. The following appointments have been made since my last: James A. Clark, Sangerville, 2d Lieutenant, 18th regt. Warren C. I’lummer. Presque Isle, 2d Lieut. Co. C, 15th regt. Charles A. Williams, Skowhegan, Capt. Co. A, 10th regt. Isaac A.

To the Editors of the Daily Press :—The patriotic rally in McLcllan’s Hall, on Friday evening last, was one of the most spirited and stiriug meetings ever held in Brunswick.— i Young and old. citizens and students, all join ed as one man, in the hearty and determined support of the government and the adminis tration. Mr. W. W. Merrill, a graduate of the college of the class of ’01, and who is now re cruiting here for the Seventeenth liegiment, was called to the chair. Hon. Charles J. Gilman, announced as the first speaker for the evening, addressed the meeting at some length in a very able and elo quent manner. Among other points was his interesting and encouraging presentation of the financial aspect of our attain, showing that the country had nothing to fear in that direc tion. Prof. Chamberlain was then called upon.aml responded in a characteristic address, which left not much doubt as to what he thought and felt in the present crisis. Prof. Whittlesey followed In a beautiful and patriotic speech, as was to be expected of one who enters so heartily as he does into the I cause of the country, and who is ready to do his w hole duty on the platform or on the field. A most interesting feature of the occasion was the stiriug speech of the venerable John O’Brien, the only surviving member of the first graduating class of Bowdoin College.— His well known character, his vigorous ap- j pearance, and the fervent, enthusiastic and al most inspired strains in w hich he spoke of his country’s future, combined to produce the most thrilling effect upon the audience. He concluded by saying, “The way for a man to do his duty, is to do it. No matter if he gets a bullet through his heart, that wont hurt him any. God grant that 1 might thus the—in the act of duty.” Itov. Mr. Ballou was called upon, and made an appropriate an earnest speech. Mr. Magrath, of the senior class of the col lege. addressed the meetinir in a few heartv ami fervent words. The Durham Band very kindly attended, of fering their services for the occasion, and lent the inspiration of several patriotic airs to the influences of the hour. The meeting was adjourned to this evening, when no doubt it will be followed up in a sim ilar spirit. Men are enlisting fast, ami we are in no fear of a rfruft here. Our quota will doubtless be tilled by Saturday. There was a Prize Declamation by the Sophomore Class of Bowdoin College last i evening, in Dr. Adams’ church, before a bril liant assembly, and under the most favorable influences. The speakers gave evidence of the careful training they have received from Prof. Briggs, who has charge of the instruction in elocution. Considering that this was the first public college exhibition in which the young men had taken part, they certainly showed a self-possession and gracefulness of movement quite remarkable. You will learn the name of the speakers by a copy of the order of exer cises which I send enclosed. Portland was well represented, both in numbers and the quality of the speaking. The prize wasequai ly divided between Charles F. Libby of Port land. and William II. Pearson of Newbury j port. The music on the occasion was by the Port land Band, and was of much liner quality than we usually hear at exhibitions. The annual college examinations are now going on. The Junior Class all receive their j “Senior Tickets” to-day. The class is one of j unusual talent ami scholarship. Commence ment B near at hand. I enclose a programme of the exercises of the week, to which howev j er 1 should add that the Baccalaureate Aii dress will lx1 given by Prof. Packard next Sabbath aleernoon. ami will doubtless be a very interesting discourse, not alone to the graduating class, hut to every graduate; as Dr. Packard litis been so long connected with the college, being now the senior Professor, and commands in so high a degree the respect and esteem of every son of Bowdoin. t Ej^“It is said that the Governors of New York and Ohio will commence drafting im mediately alter the 18th of August, if there are not volunteers enough by that time to till j up their quota. 1 O R It: IN ALAND SELECT E D. Gen. Houston.—The fact of General Sam Houston’s death is placed beyond question. It was stated by his son-in-law. at a great meet ing on Boston Common, a few days since, that he died, enshrouded, by his own request, by the flag of his country. This sets aside the report that he wavered in his support of the Union, and gave his influence in favor of .South ern independence. A battalion of the 17th U. S. infantry, consisting of about 200 men, left this city by the Boston boat Tuesday evening. The Fort Preble Band escorted them to the place of em barkation. Of their precise destination we are uninformed, though they are evidently to be put on active duty. :r-T he omission to include among the re presentatives of the press of this city at the Popham celebration meeting, the talented and popular editor of the Mirror, Rev. Mr. Lord, was entirely unintentional. The omission was properly tilled in the weekly edition of our pa per. call attention to the sale of the An droscoggin R. R. Bonds this day at 11 o’clock, A. M.

Commencement Week—Bowdoin Col lege.—Next Monday the usual exercises of Commencement week commence at Bowdoin College by an oration and poem in the after noon and prize declamation by the Junior class in the evening. Tuesday is to lie occupied by the Psi Epsilon Fraternity and exercises bc fore the Literary Society. Orations by Rev. J. M. Manning and Henry F. Durant, Esq., of Boston, closing with a concert in the evening by the Germania Baud. Wednesday is Com mencement day proper. Performance com mence at half past ten o'clock, A. M. The Phi Betta Kappa Fraternity will hold their annu al meeting Thursday. Oration by Benjamin F. Thomas, of Boston. The Tax Ait is not to go into effect till Oct. 1st, or at the pleasure of the Secretary of the Treasury. It is found to lie impossible to get tlie machinery of the Internal Revenue Bureau in operation by the first of August, when it was originally designed that the bill should tiikf> pfti'ft. If the Boston Post had known the real facts In the case, instead of depending upon the groundless allegations of the Argus, it would have withheld its paragraph about the Mayor of this city and the recent liquor seiz ure. There is not ateord of truth in the sug gestion that the Mayor was actuated by jeal ousy of the liquor dealer's prosperity, nor is it true that tire Mayor had anything to do with the seizure. The whole affair was independent of his agency until a riot was imminent; and no officer could have done less without prot intj falue to hie oath. If tlie Post had careful ly read the article in the Argus, it would have discovered a spirit in it from which truth and fairness are seldom evoked. It is well under stood here as one of the mean attempts of that paper to hold back enlistments, especially among the Irish citizens, to save their votes for the approaching election. Its expressions of sympathy for that class of our fellow citi zens will not avail. They are generally loyal beyond all ‘•it's'’ and conditions, and the co quetting of tlie Argus around them is quite as heartless as its malignant attacks upon the Chief Magistrate of the city. Yesterday afternoon w ill long l>e rc membered for its fearful flashes of lightning and its crashing thunder. Never did we hear much heavier peals.

Got A Ducking.—The Boston Post says that an Englishman, name unknown, attempt ed to make a speech on the Common day be fore yesterday. So strong were his expressions of sympathy with secession, that he was hooted and hissed by the excited crowd, and when he had done speaking was taken in hand by them and throicn bodily into the Vrog pond.—Ver dict, served him right. ~j^“Seh. Royal Oak, of Tretnont, lying at Railroad Wharf, Hath, was struck by lightning Tuesday afternoon, shivering her mainmast to atoms. So says the Times. Accident.—A boy about twelve years of age, lielonging to Mr. Almond Sanders of this city, (now in the. army,) was run over by the cars of the Oldtown Railroad last evening, and was so severely injured as to render it neces sary to remove the left arm by the excision of the shoulder joint.—[Bangor Whig, ;>0th. jy~A great war meeting was held in Charlestown, Mass., on Monday evening last Speeches were made by Lieut.

The Diii'm and Fife.—There is something exciting in the good old-tasliioned fife aud drum, and nothing w ill raise the enthusiasm of the boys like the music to which our patri otic fathers stepped, before the days of brass bands. Would it not have a good effect if our streets w ere paraded every day by companies from the 17th, marching to the soul-stirring, blood-quickening music of the life and drum?

MATTERS ABOUT TOWN. Thunder Shower.—A most terrific thun der shower passed over the city yesterday afternoon, commencing at about one o'clock and continuing for a period of three-quarters of an hour. As flash succeeded flash, so did peal upon peal of thunder follow, and one crash in particular caused Uie boldest sinner in our town to admit in his heart, for the in stant, the eertaiuty that Jehovah was, is, and ever shall be.” Struck by Lightning.—The house of Mr. David Farr, on Mayo street, was struck by lightning yesterday, injuring it to no great extent. Mrs. Farr at the time was in the act of shutting down a front window, when she was struck speechless. Another lady residing in the same house, went to her assistance and found her sitting at a table. She made no an swer to the lady’s iuquiries, merely shak ing her head. Water was instantly thrown upon her, having no effect other than to throw her into a succession of fits, during which it required the strength of three persons to hold her. She still continued speechless and una ble to sit up at live o'clock last eveuing. Drs. Newton and Ludwig were in attendance. Dr. Ludwig holds out strong hopes of her speedy recovery. Since the above was put in type, we have been informed by Dr. Newton, that upon the application of restoratives, the injured lady had revived. Ear- The liglituiug yesterday entered one of the maimnouth chiinnies of the Portland Company's works and struck one of the work men, who was engaged in taking a piece of steel from the furnace. The shock merely prostrated him, doing no other injury. A house on Washington street, occupied by Mr. Thos McGowan, was struck, the lightning tearing off the plastering, demolishing the chimney, and splintering the claplionrds. and finally making its exit at three different points. A horse standing just outside of the door was instantly killed. No person was injured. On Commercial street, the brick block di rectly opposite to the Galt block, and occupied by Messrs. Howe, Brooks Coolidge, was struck on the eastern side, the lightning doing no other damage than to impart a slight shock to one of the clerks, a son of Mr. Coolidge, throwing the pen from his hand, and stunning him for the moment. Serenade.—Harris C. Barnes, Esq., our worthy Chief of the Fire Department, was honored by a "tip-top” serenade on Tuesday evening, by the officers of the Fire Depart ment, at which were represented the different fire companies of our cit)’. The music of the occasion by the Portland Band, was of a soul awakening character, and the speech of Mr. Barnes was of an equally harmonious nature. Long life to him and “his’n.” nr The St. Lawrence street Soeiety and Sabbath School will make an excursion to-day, leaving Burr.ham’s wharf, in steamer Favorite, at 0 o'clock, A. M. Tickets 20 cents for adults; children half price. The excursions of the Chesnut and Pine streets Sabbath Schools will come off to-mor row, if the weather is fair. jar-A person was arrested yesterday, by Deputy Marshal Heald, through information furnished by Harry Potter, Esq., head clerk of Messrs. Crossman Poor’s establishment, for having uttered a counterfeit note on the North ern Indiana Kailroad Company. A large quantity of bogus notes were, found in his pos session, many of which bore no signature whatever. We shall meet them.--A company of about one hundred men under Capt. Golder man was escorted luto camp King, yesterday afternoon. They are from the towns of Ray mond, Poland, Oxford and Minot, Androscog gin County. The Grand Jury of the Criminal Term, Supreme Judicial Court, retinal on Tuesday under Henry A. Jones, Esq., foreman. Started off.—During the shower of yes terday, a horse attached to a wagon near the comer of Exchange and Middle streets.becom ing alarmed at the crashing noise of the thun der, started off, evidently with the intention of making the tour of Middle street- He “slipped up” on the arrangement, however, for his own er, with wise fore-thought, had fastened the reins to one of the wheels. The dragging at his jaw soon satisfied him and lie was secured without much trouble. The last we saw of him he was being “close-reefed.” “Our Flag Is There.”—We have been struck in our peregrinations almiit the city, with the tact that some of our patriotic citizens have kept our glorious flag flying upon their premi ses ever since they first flung it to the breeze, a year ago or more, and that too we believe in all weathers, night and day. We allude to Messrs. L. W. S. Dana, Commercial street. Daniel W. Eaton. Congress near Green street- There may be other instances which we do not now remember. icy In consequence of the terrible thunder tempest yesterday afternoon, the trial of Steam Fire Engines attracted but little attention; and we are informed that the trial was not of such a character as to satisfy fully any of the parties interested. For this reason we omit all figures, hoping that at another time a trial may be had under more favorable circum stances, and with more satisfactory results. The “Old Jerusalem” Bell.—We are glad to learn that the First Parish Society have ordered a new liell, to replace the old one which has been cracked. The new boll is to be from Troy, N. Y., and to weigh about 3400 pounds, which is heavier than any oilier bell in our city. The old liell, although weighing but alxiut, 1700 to 1800 pounds, was one of the best toned bells here; deep and clear, without any brazen clang to its tones. As the old liell is to be broken up, we hope some of our brass founders will secure a portion of it, and recast it into house bells, that we who are “native and to tlie manner Isirn” may still have a me mento of that “old Jerusalem bell,” which has swung “to and fro” for so many years in our The First Parish has wisely kept up the old Puritan practice of tolling their bell at the fu neral of every deceased minister in the town, of every denomination. What a clerical obit uary this old bell would give us, could its iron tongue i!f>eak the praises of those whose re quiem it has sounded. Let us by all means have some mementoes of this last parish link, that binds the present to the days of our fa thers. Steameb “New England.”—This splen did new steamer, of the International line, will leave this city for St. John, via Eastport and Calais, on her first trip, this (Thursday) eve ning. ____________ Municipal Court. Wednesday, July 30. Albert Giggen, the lad arrested on Saturday for theft, was examined this morning. His Honor, upon an impartial hearing of the case, found the boy guilty, but suspended sentence in the matter as many extenuating circuni stnces have been developed. James McLeod was brought before the Court to answer to the charge of violation of the Sabbath, in keeping open shop for traffic. Not being the owner or the premises, lie was discharged.

The President to-day commissioned t lie fol lowing named Captains to lie Admirals on the retired iist, under the recent act of Congress: Charles Stewart, G. C. Bead, Win. 11. Shubrick, Joseph Smith, George W. Storer. Francis II. Gregory, E. A. Lavellette, S. E. Stringham, Hiram Paulding. The following Captains are appointed to be Hear Admirals oil the active list: David G. Farragut, G. ,M. Gouldsborough, D. Peek, A. H. Foote. Tin- law provides that the Hear Admirals shall lie selected by the President, by and with the advice of the Sonata, from those Captains who have given most faithful service to the country. The Post Master Gen'l anil the Commission er of Internal Revenue to-day approved of the specimen for the postage stamp currency .which will lie for 5, 10, 25 and 30cents. The designs embrace the present 5 and 10 cent postage stamps, tastefully arranged in such a way they cannot he separated and used for postage.— They w ill lx- printed on hank note paper, of different sizes, averaging about one-tltlli the size of U. S. notes, furnished in sheets during tile next two weeks. Steamer Mount Washington arrived at the navy yard at an early hour this morning. Her commander, Capt. Germain, says there is a rumor in Norfolk, which is believed by some, that Mcrrimae No. 2 and a new ram which the rebels have at Richmond,intend to run through our licet in the James river, attack the Minne sota amt other vessels at Norfolk, and take the city. It is also said, and believed by the Unionists there, that the secessionists there have a full supply of arms in their houses, and are ready to strike a blow simultaneously with the rebel steamers on their way up. Quite ail unusual number of boats were seen on the bay, crossing either way, which Capt. Germain thinks are in the employ of the rebels, and is also of the opinion that as most of our gun boats are elsewhere employed, that the seces sionists in lower Maryland anil Eastern Vir ginia are in constant communication with each other hv this menus. At an early hour yesterday morning a squad of cavalry proceeded to the residence of Col. F. F. Bowie, near Upper MurllKiro, and took Him Into custody. He was brought to the city yesterday afternoon, aud alter being taken be fore the Provost Marshal, was sent to the old Capitol Building, where he is still coutined ou a charge of aiding federal soldiers to desert, A prominent citizen of Texas now here, of well known Union proclivities, denies the truth of the statement of a person calling him self Bev. C. II. Clark of that State, who recent ly addressed a public meeting in Boston. Sam Houston, whose son-in-law he claims to be,has none, unless his eldest daughter, aliuiil 10 years of age, has been married within the last two months. Lt. Gov. Clark, whom the rev erend gent claims as his father, has hut one son, and he is a men lad. If Mr. Houston is death his demise must have recently occurred. Gentlemen from Western Texas, where a fact of that importance would have been known, are ignorant of the occurrence of such an event. Frank E. Howe has been here for several days conferring with the Surgeon Geu'l and the War Department upon the subject of fur loughs to sick and wounded soldiers. He brought with him li tters from the Governors of Maine, N. II., Vt.. Mass., Wis., lnd., aud Minn. The Sec'y of War lias been disposed to act promptly and humanely on this question, and it is believed an order will he made estab lishing a board of medical officers to decide u|kmi the furloughs of such |mtsoiis recom mended by surgeons in charge of the hospitals, aud such only as may absolutely need charge. From Kentucky—Proclamation for an Extra Session of the Legislature. Louisville, Ky., July 2ft. The Exprese newspaper, published here, has been suppressed and its editors and publishers arrested hy order of Gen. Boyle, on account of the tone of the paper, which calculated to aid the rebellion. Gov. Magoffin’s proclamation calling the Kentucky legislature together on the four teenth, says: “The present Military Board still claims to tie the paramount military au thority of the Commonwealth and express an unwillingness to resign the powers heretofore exercised by them, or permit their exercise by me. A civil conlliet is im|iending over us. 1 am without a soldier or a dollar to protect the lives, property and liberties, of the people, or to enforce the laws. Daily appeals are made to me as Governor of the State, to prn tis t our citizens from marauding bands, in the peaceable enjoyment of their property and rights under the Constitution. I am without means and power to ati'urd relief. Any at tempt on my part to organize a force for that pur|>oee will certainly hut precipitate the evil, and I therefore not unwillingly convene the General Assembly that they may themselves determine the extent of the authority granted hy them, and also looking to the policy to lie adopletl by the Slate as to the late action of Congress and the President touching the question of slavery, and provide for the safety of our institutions and the Commonwealth.” Volunteers City that the collision between the Home Guards of Russellville took place by mistake. A few hours after the capture of Russellville a portion of a Union regiment w as expected there and lias probably arrived and reinstated matters. The telegraph is working South to Nashville but we get nothing from Russellville. The theory is that the reltels took away the opera tors before the arrival of our forces. Further particulars from the Mount Sterl ing affair are received. Yesterday at sun down 170 mounted guerrillas, mostly armed and principally from Boone county, arrived at North Middleton. Seven ol them went to Mt. Sterling and demanded the surrender of the town. The Home Guards, 30 strong, killed the whole seven. The remainder of the rebels now coming up, were fired at from houses along tin' road and six more killed. Major Brocht, of the 18th Kentucky, came up w ith 100 of Ills regiment anil 30 home guards from the neighborhood, when the rebels broke and fled in every direction. Major Brocht follow ed them up, killing and capturing about one hundred, w ith horses, equipments, ook of Exodus, on the other hand, tells us that Moses, the servant of the Lord, abducted over 0,000,000 slaves from an obdurate and stiff-necked old rebel, named Pharaoh, after he had polluted him with frogs, bit him with vermin, stung him with Hies, cov ered him with boils, and pelted him w ith hail stones: and when the old secessionist tried to chase them, the Lord opened the Red Sea, and told them to skedaddle.—Nashville Union.

POETRY. Over the River. The following beautiful lines form one of the richest contributions to the poetical literature of New England, and have become so familiar and are so heart-touching, that they can no more perish than can the memories of the hu man soul. It may be unknown to many that they were written by a female operative in one of the Lowell cotton mills. Over the river they beckon to me— Lov’d oues who’vecrossed to the furth'r side; The gleam of their snowy robes I see, But their voices are lost in the dashing tide. There's one with ringlets of sunny gold, And eyes the reflection of heaven's own blue; He crossed in the twilight gray and cold, Ami the pale mist hid him from mortal view We saw not the augols who met him there, The gates of the city we could not see— Over the river, over the river, My brother stands ready to welcome me. Over the river the boatman pale Carried another: the household pet; Her brown curls wave in the gentle gale, Darling Minnie! 1 see her yet. She crossed on her bosom her dimpled hands, And fearlessly entered the phantom hark We felt it glide’from the silvery sands, And all our sunshine grew strangelv dark. We know she is safe on the further side, When- all the ransomed and angels 1m*, Over the river, the mystic river, My children’s idol is waiting for me. For none return from those quiet shores, Who cross with the boatman cold aud pale; We hear the dip of the golden oars, And catch a gleam of the snowy sail; And lo! they have pass'd front ouf yearning hearts, They cross the stream and are gone for aye. We may not sunder the veil apart. That hides from our vision the gates of day. We only know that their harks no more May sail with tls o’er life’s stormy sea: Yet somewhere. I know, on the unseen shore They watch, and beckon, aud wait for me. And I sit and think when the sunset’s gold Is flushing the river, and hill, and shore, I shall one day stand by the water cold, And list to the sounrf of the boatman's oar. 1 shall watch fora gleam of the flapping sail, I shall bear the boat as it gains the strand, 1 shall pass from sight with the boatman pale, To the better shore of the spirit land; 1 shall know the loved who’ve gone before, And joyfully, sweet will the meeting be, When over tin* river, the peaceful river, The Angel of Death shall carry me. _MISCELLANY. Rejected Addresses. Some months ago a gentleman had the mis fortune to lose his wife, a literary lady of some reputation. After grieving for a number of weeks, a bright idea entered the head of the widower. He thought he could do something to lessen his sorrow, and for that purpose he called upon a lady of his acquaintance, anil requested to speak a word with her in private. Thinking she was about to receive a proposal, the lady prepared to listen with resignation. “Myrrh,” said he, with downcast eyes, a« he took her by the hand, “I suppose you knew my wife—■ “Certainly.” “It is not good for man to be alone.” “Perhaps not.” “Did you ever reflect upon that part of the marriage service which requires couples to cleave unto each other until death do them part?” "I have.” “I have often reflected upon it myself. Now death lias parted me from uiy wife, and I feel very lonely.” “I should think likely.” “1 think I must do something to remind me of her kind consolations and the memory of her virtues.” He pressed the lady's hand and sighed. She returned the pressure and also suffered a sigh to esca|ie her. “My dear,” said he, after a long pause. “I'll come to the point at once. 1 have a proposal to make.” She blushed and covered her face with her hands. “Yes, I have concluded to write mv wife’s biography. Now, I have but little skiii in lit erary exercises, and if you will correct my manuscript and W'rite the headings of the chap ters, I will give you live dollars." She sprang from his side, and her eyes flashed with anger. “I’ll see you hanged first, and then I won't; you—you.” She left the room, 1 icing unable to express her feelings. The widower sighed, took his hat and went home. He has not published nor proposed. It was a pity to be so misunder stood. S3T-A little boy, a few days since, while I coming down stairs, was cautioned by his mo ther not to lose his balance. His question which followed was a puzzler: “Mother, if I should lose my balance, where would it go to?” An old gentleman, travelling some years ago inside the Bath mail, had two ladies, sisters, for companions. The younger, an in valid, soon fell asleep, and the old gentleman expressed his regret toseesocharmingayoung lady in ill-health. “Ah, yes, indeed,” sighed the elder sister, “a disease of the heart.” “Dear me!” was t he sympathetic response; “at her age Ossification, perhaps “O, no, sir, a lieutenant!” Shabp Practice.—A New Bedford wo man has bought her live cent loaf regularly of a baker, paying for it with a dollar bill and receiving ninety-five cents, which she exchang ed just as regularly at a broker’s for a dollar bill.

GILMAN, recently of the Hath Times, and JOSEPH B. HALL, of the Aroostook Herald. The Portland Daily Press is intended to be an enterprising, vigorous and lire Daily Morning Paper, containing the latest and fullest news by mail rod telegraph. THE MAINE STATE PRESS Is a largo, well-tilled, carefully edited, and neatly printed 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, ami of the City of Portland as its interests twine with, and are inseparable from, those of the State. Politically, the Press will give an earnest, cordial, Mid generous support to the administration of Abra ham Lincoln, who in little more thau one year, has indellibiy 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 ami navy, but iu the uupaialieled 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 Republican principles, and, inasmuch as political organizations have become a necessity in carrying into effect great principles of political economy, and inasmuch as ,the Republican part y which, in the brief chapter of its history already written, has successfully refuted the allegation of its [‘iiemies that its designs and tendencies were sec tional, and triumphantly vindicated its claim to a just and liberal Nationality, has remained stead last in its devotion to the Cuiou while other organizations tiave so generally become infected with a disloyal spirit, and inasmuch as it is the only |«rty which at present seems competent to conserve the great prin ciple* underlying all free Governments, the Pres* will cordially sustain the organization of that party, not with a design to foeter a mere partizan spirit, but in the full coniciousiiess that it embodies the true principles upon which our government rests, ami af- ford* the only available means of accomplishing such j results as a lofty patriotism imperatively demauds. IIVI CIIMUIBt- RUT CIUISther constitutional measures looking to a peaceful removal of our greatest “moral, political and social >vil,** will find in the 1’repp a generous and hearty support. While thus distinctly announcing the general course proposed for the Press, and intending that, alike in war and in peace—in our country** peril and in it* Humph, it shall speak with no uucertaiu voice, we lo not lose sight of the fact that true men have hon estly differed, and that, coming by different routes hey now find thernselve* travelling parallel roads; ind, instead of seeking to widen the difference* be ween those who are required by a common patriot sm to act in concert, the Pkkpp will labor hopefully o enconrage unity of purpose and harmony of act on among all loyal men. Aside from its political department, the Press will >e earnestly devoted to the advancement of the best nterest* of the city and .State. It* Local Depart nent will in no case be neglected. Particular atten ion will be given to the Commercial and Maritime nterest*. It will bo the aim of it* conductor* to make t an indispensable institution of the State, and a ge lial and welcome visitor iu every work-shop, count ng-house, and family circle. The Editors, not mi mown to the people of Maine, will give their uudivi- j led energies to the work before them, and labor to nake such a paper as the city of l’ortlaud, the Slate •f Maine, and the exigencies of the time* demand— >ne that shall be true to tlie popular iustinefs.
