Feeling all the delicacy of the situation we occupy,—that of a comparative stranger in the midst of the friends of the paper whose name we have mentioned in the question that heads this article,—we nevertheless charge that the Argus is a disloyal sheet; and without long trespassing upou the reader's patience we will proceed to make good the charge by testimony which that paper has no right to impeach. Lei us be understood in the start. Disloyalty and treason we take to mean, in practice, essential ly the same thing. What, then, is disloyalty, and is tbe Argus guilty of it? In answering these questions we propose to bring that paper before its own iudirment-eeat. and to test it hv the rule It has itself laid down. From the decis ion of inch a tribunal it cannot appeal; against such a rule of judgment it can file no excep tions. What, then, the Argus itself being judge, is disloyalty or treasou In that paper of Aug. 4th we And the following: Our test of treason is the Constitution,— which is Ihe basis of government, and we are fighting for a government and not lor revolu tion. We see no sign of respec t for the con stitution or its executive officers in the "Press.” Italics ours. Here, coupling the "executive officers” of the Constitution with the Constitu tion itself, we have the Argus’ test of treasou reduced to “respect shown” for the President— those not showiug this respect being disloyal, or guilty of treasou. But if we turn to the Argus of the 5lh inst., we shall find its “test of treason” more definite ly stated. Refering to remarks of the editor of the X. Y. Evening Post—formerly a Jack sonian, Van Buren, and even Franklin Pierce Democrat—adverse to some of our military commanders, (remarks for which we have no sympathy) the Argus says: Why not this rabid alxditionist go on and charge with a quadrupled stigma President Lincoln, by whose wisli and acts these gener als hold their respective, positions? We can guess why. Because the traitor delights in the work of liis hands, but would keep aloof from the consequences. Those who will read the whole article from which this Is an extract, will see that, in the Argus’ estimation, the person referred to as a “rabid abolitionist,” is a “traitor” simply be cause he disrespects the “generals” who "hold their respective positions” by the wish and act of the President; and the query contained in the above implies that his treason would be even more apparent, if he should stigmatize the President himself. In the same paper from which the above is cut, referring to the Press, it is said: It is a mere partizan of the abolitionists,— a representative uftlie Chandlers and Phillipses, —Tlie N. Y. Independent and Evening Post— the maligners of our officers and the opponents of the republican President. Its position is among those so well defined by the Advertiser, whose words we reproduced yesterday. In brief, it is held by its cotemporary as among the traitors and those deserving of a situation in some fortress until after tlie war. Putting all the foregoing extracts together— editorial in the Argus—we have this proposi tion, forming that paper’s “test of treason constituting tlie judgment-seat before which to establish the loyalty or treason of every man, to wit: that want of respect for the Executive, charging the President with stigma, and op posing the republican President, prove that those guilty of such disrespect, who charge such stigma aud who manifest suclt opposi tion, to be traitors. If anything were wanted to convince the reader that tins is the precise meauing of our courteous cotemporary, we have it in that paper of the 8th inst., in an ar ticle headed “Traitors’ Meeting,” in which, to prove the treason—bald and unqualified— of the siieakers, it is said: The President was ridiculed as “a moral cow ard,” “an automaton,” “a tortoise,” Ac. Now having shown from the Argus itself what it means by treason, what its “test of treason” really is, we ask the reader’s attention to the question whether, judged by its own test,” tlie Argus is to he regarded as a loyal paper, or a disloyal and traitorous sheet. Remember ing that disrespect for the President is treason, the Argus being authority, we ask the reader carefully to scan the following cut from that paper of Friday morning If tlie President could lie endowed with a keen eye to discover the difference between honesty and dishonesty, between ability and incompetency, between success and failure, in the management of our national affairs, and would, with Jacksonian resolution, applaud and promote the one and utterly and promptly condemn the other, we are free to confess tlie belief that the cause of our country would soon lie on better aud more hopeful footing. Hut Mr. Lincoln is President lor his term and we must make the best of it we can. On this single paragraph we rest the whole case, and claim a verdict from the clear-headed reader adverse to the Argus. Never have we seen anywhere a more studied effort to make tlie President out either a knave, or a fool, or liotil, or a more earnest effort to stigmatize him as a man unworthy of trust, much less of respect. He is denied even tlie ability or the disposition to discover the difference between honesty and dishonesty, between ability and incompetent-}-, between success and failure, and charged witli an utter destitution of reso luticm to applaud and promote the right and to condemn the wrong! Such is the Portland Argus; one day whining and canting because respect is not shown for tire Executive, and the next uttering slanders of the President that would disgrace a London fish woman!— And this is In perfect keeping with the general character of tltat paper for the last four years. It got down upon its knees to the Floyds and Cobbs of a traitorous cabinet; it never failed to let off poisoned arrows at Douglas when its masters told it to do so, aud at the same time pointed to the public crib from which it was feeding and fattening; it went in for the trea sonable organization of the Dana party, and tried to keep in favor all round by crying “Good Lord” to the Jameson men, aud ignor ing a few of the planks in the Dana platform, and now, while carping and fbult-fiiiding with everything that promises to strengthen the power of the government or unnerve the arm of rebellion, it denounces as trait ors those who, ft says, do not show proper respect for a President denied by it the abil ity to distinguish between right and wrong'. We hope tiie loyal people of Maine will appreciate the hypocritical sympathy so often expressed by the paper under notice for President Lin coln strip off the wool skin drawn over the jackal), and remember that, with all its pre tended regard for Mr. Lincoln, and all its read iness to fight “abolitionists” who think the President over-cautious, and all its cries of trea son against those who do not respect the Pres ident according to its style—that with all these it simply tolerates the President "for his term,” and advises to “make the best of him”! When tiie Argus is properly knowq, as thousands of old democrats already know it, its mission will be ended, because its power for mischief will be gone. Important Official Orders. In the despatches of Saturday morning were two important orders, issued by direction of the President and figaed by the Secretary of War. They indicate the new earnestness which the government lias taken on. and shew that hereafter there is to be no fooling or child's play. They both bear date August 8th, and the first, authorizing arrests of persons for dis couraging enlistments, is as follows: Ordered,—1st, That all United States Mar shals and Superintendents, or chiefs of police of any town, city or district be. and they are hereby authorized and directed to arrest and imprison any ]x-rsou or persons who may be engaged by act, speech or writing, in discour aging volunteer enlistments, or in any way giv ing aid and comfort to the enemy, or in any other disloyal practice against the U. States. 2d. That immediate report be made to Maj. L. C. Turner, Judge Advocate, in order that such persons may be tried before a military commission. 3d. The expense of such arrest and impris onment will fie certified to the chief clerk of War Department for settlement and payment. The other order, to prevent the evasion of military dutv, is as follow*: 1st. iiy direction oi the President of the U. States, it is hereby ordered that until further orders, no citizen Hal do to be drafted into the militia, shall be allowed to go to a foreign country, and all Marshals, Deputy Marshals and Military officers of the United States, are directed, and all police authorities especially, at the ports of the United States, on the sea board and on the frontier, are requested to see that this order is faithfully carried into effect, and they are hereby authorized and directed to arrest, and detain any person or persons alsmt to depart from the United States in violation of tiiis order, and to report to Major L. C. Tur ner. Judge Advocate at Washington City, for ftirtlier instructions res|>ecting the person or persons so arrested and detained. 2. Any person liable to draft, who shall ab seut himself from his country or .suite before such draft is made, mill lie arrested by any Pro vost Marshal, or other United State’s or State officer, wherever be may be .found within the jurisdiction of the United States, and convey ed to the nearest military post or depot, and placed on military duty’ for the term of the draft, and the expenses of his own arrest and conveyance to such post or depot, mid also the sum of live dollars as a reward to the officer who shall make such arrest, shall be deducted iroiu his pay. 3d. The writ of habeas corpus is hereby sus pended in respect to all persons arrested for disloyal practices. JT”It is amusing to hear the varied objce tious raised by the faithless, against emanci pation, even should emancipation become a military necessity. The objector will talk of the sliiftlessness of the negro, bow lazy they are, aud how utterly incompetent to earn their own living. If emancipated, our alms-houses j would have to open wide to receive them cn masse. The next day the same individual will hold up his hands in holy horror, and talk about allowing all the blacks to come North, to crowd w hite mechanics, and other laborers, from their employment, and to monopolize all the posts of industry. IIow the lazy, shiftless creatures are to become so smart as to drive white meu out of the Held of labor, is a prob lem not yet solved. The Republican Congressional Couven j tlon, for the first District, will meet tomorrow, I lu the new City Iiall, at 11 o'clock. [From our Regular Correspondent.] Letter from the State Capital. Artion of Ranks—Agents for Absentees— Personal—Organization of '20th Regiment —Appointments—llltt Regiment. Acocsta, Aug. P, 1862. To the Editors of the Portland Press: The Banks throughout the State have most generously responded to the request of the Governor for money to pay bounties to volun teers under the late call, having offered to ad vance to the State, double the amount required. There are two Banks, however, which, through want either of ability or disposition, have de clined to aid the government, at this time.— Both these Banks are in the eastern part of the State. The following gentlemen have l>eon appoint ed by the Governor for looking up deserters and absentees from their regiments: Androscoggin—E. B. Lovejoy, Livermore. Aroostook—G. F. Whidden, Presque Isle; T. M. Bradbury, Iloulton. Cumberland—II. Cousens, Gorham. Franklin—I. II. Blake, Farmington. Hancock—Augustus Stevens, Bluehill. Kennebec—G. J. Page, Belgrade; J. Boyn ton, Pitts ton. Knox—S. W. Laughton, Appleton. Lincoln—H. Metcalf, Damariscotta. Oxford—C. H. Kipley, Paris. Penobscot \V. W. Klee, Hampden; H. Blackman, Bradley. Piscataquis—J. H. Gilman, Sebec. Sagadahoc—R. P. Whitney, Topsham. Somerset—O. Currier. Athens. Waldo—R. S. Rich, Thorndike. Washington—I. Bearce, Meddybemps. York—S. Tibbetts, Sanford. It is hoped and expected that all good citi zens who know the whereabouts of any de serters, or other absentees from the army, will forthwith inform the agents of their respec tive counties, and co-operate with them in this very important work. The Hon. Simeon Draper, of Xew York, ap pointed by the President, General Supervisor of this business, paid the Governor a flying visit last Thursday, to consult w'ith him upon the subject. The companies for the 20th Regt., have been organized by counties as follows: Co. A. Kennebec, Capt. Bungs. Co. B. Piscataquis, Capt. Jefferds. Co, C, Oxford, Capt. McDonald. Co. I), Penobscot, Capt. Haskell. Co. E. Lincoln, Capt. Clark. Co. G, Lincoln, ('apt Spear. Co. II, Aroostook.-. Co. I. Knox, Capt. Hill. Co. K. Cumberland and Knox, Capt. Strick land. These companies arc full, and will be in camp at Portland, it Is expected, by Tuesday, j tlie 12th inst Tbe following military appointments hare been made since my last: Geo. W. Fiekett, Cape Elizabeth, 1st Lt Co. j E, 17th regt. Ellis M. Sawyer, C. Elizabeth, Capt Co. E, 17 th regt Andrew S. Stimson, Kittery, Captain Co. K, 17th regt. 8amu;l W. Daggett, Bangor, Captain Co.

Collamore Purington, Presque Isle. Chaplain 7th regt Nahum A. Hersom, Sanford, Surgeon, 20tli regt. The 16th, as well as the other regiments in 1 the State, is full and running over. The men are in splendid spirits, fhlly armed and equlp ped, and are only awaiting the paymasters, who are ment deserves the praise of being the most or derly of any regiment yet encamped here. As proof, the City Marshal informs me that not a man of them has. as yet been arrested for any cause. This good conduct is due to the fact that the men are generally civil by breeding, and to the most scrupulous care uniformly ta ken by Col. Wildes and his officers to preserve decorum. Skirmisher. [From our Regular Correspondent.] Letter from New York. New York. Aug. 8th, 1862. Editors Press Gen. Jameson arrived In this city yesterday accompanied by his wife and Major Mann. The General stood his jour ney from Washington here, much lictter than was expected. He iiad uot been able to sit up two hours lor some uine weeks that he re mained in Washington. Every facility was furnished the General and his attendants by the managers of the railroads between Wash I ingtou and New York, which tended to pro mote their comfort and convenience. He will j be obliged to remain here for several days, be fore it will be prudent for him to leave for I Maine. He is stopping at a private house ftnd is well cared for. His highest ambition Is to sufficiently recover his hea'th.so a» to warraut bis taking the Held agaiu to lead on his gallant brigade as heretofore, to certain victory. Gov. Shepley arrived here this morningfrom Washington and is to leave to-morrow for New 1 Orleans, accompanied by Kev. Mr. Colby, Chaplain of the 12th Maine Regiment, Capt. Miller of hi* staff, and others from Maine.— The Gov. called upon Gen. Jameson to-day.— He is in excellent spirit-* and returns to his new and responsible duties with the fullest confidence in our Government to maintain its integrity and to crush out even the last ves tige of rebellion that may lurk within its bor j ders. “Capitol.” We are sorry that, besides losing his I generous loyal feelings, the editor of the Brunswick Telegraph ha* lost his temper, and gone off into a tit of passion that paiufully suggests to bis friends the necessity of a mad house. If Tenney hud quoted the whole of Gov. Andrew’s letter he would have proved his own allegation entirely false; and with the manliness of the Boston Post, he would have I given Senator Wilson the benefit of his own explanation; and with the courtesy of a gen tleman he would have withheld the remark— “That is a downright lie, Gilman, and you know it.” Mr. Tenney is not in the temper to be argued or reasoned with. His neighbors distrust his position, and he labors under the disadvantage of licing suspected of a Wiek lilliau spirit, that prefers negro slavery to the j American I’nion, and says if either must go to the wall let it not be slavery. Allotments.—\Ve are intormed at the City Treasurer's office, that information has been received from the Paymaster-General at Wash ington. stating as the cause of the delay in the remittance of soldier's allotments from the Maine regiments in Louisiana, that the money that had been reserved as allotments by the Paymasters,was, by order of Maj. Gen. Butler, used to pay other troops, there being a defi ciency of fuuds; that a sufficient amount of money had been forw arded to New Orleans, ami tiie allotments may soon be expected. There is a report that Beauregard re cently visited New Orleans in disguise. Stand by the President. In this, the darkest hour of our nation’s per il, when many are ready to falter by the way side,or see no ray of hope amid the dark clouds that surround our pathway, let all true patri ots stand by the President, in tlie full faith that he will pilot tlie “old Ship of State’’ safely through the dangers that now surround her.— In his wisdom, unswerving patriotism, and integrity, let us all confide. Tlie recent move ments of the Government Indicate that the policy hitherto pursued, is to be changed, and that the war is to be prosecuted more vigor ously than ever. Every means that promises to shorten the war is to be adopted, and if sometimes men think tlie change should have come before, let them remember that the no ble old patriot who stands at the helm, knows best what to do. The colored population o the South are to be no longer an element of" rebel strength, but are to be employed by the Union forces as laborers, and perhaps the spade, in war, is as essential as the bayonet,— at any rate.it is a powerful auxiliary, and must prove invaluable to the army. Relieved from tlie necessity of handling the spade, our sol diers will grasp tlie musket witli more vigor, and bo vastly more aide to meet the enemy. Not only is the slave population of tlie rebel lious States to be appropriated, but all proper ty of rebels is to be used for Government pur poses, and tlie present indications are that new movements of tlie army and navy are to made, with energy and rapidity. Let us wait pa tiently, and, amid tlie din of contending arm ies, and the smoke of battle, let us stag'd by THE PKE8IKENT. Junior Prize Declamation. In our extended notice of the business of Commencement week at “Bowdoin,” we en tirely omitted all notice of the Prize Declama tion of the Junior class, on Monday evening. We were not present, but have heard a good report of it. Those taking part in the exhibi tion were S. T. Beverage, Thomaston; Hor ace R.Cheney, Lewiston; Alvah B. Dearborn, Harpswell; Kodolphus II. Gilmore, Leeds;— T. M. Given, and Samuel P. N. Smith, B uns wick; George A. Haines, Biddeford; Prank C. Remick, Chelsea, Mass.; Charles B. Stack pole, Conway, N. H.; Benjamin F. Smith, Wiscasset; Cyrus B. Varney, Windham; C, C. Watson, Guillord, N. H. The exercises commenced and closed late, in consequence of the engagement of the Band hv the Senior Class, at the “Oak Tree.” but the performances were fully up to the us ual staid of such occasions. The prize of $30 was divided between Cheney, Gilmore, and Bemick. We have received a communication from Brunswick, complaining of the criticisms of the editor of the Telegraph; but we must de cline publishing it, if for no other reason, be cause of its "being anonymous. Personal.—lion Noah Smith passed thro’ this city last Saturday, on his| way home from Washington. He reports ho|>efullyfrom Head Quarters. ORIGINAL AND SELECTED. The colored men of Rhode Island are not inclined to enlist in the service as mere laliorers, and have chosen a committee to wait on the Governor to make inquiries relative to the purposes of the President. r#“ If the Dana Convention to meet in this city in the course of but a few days, should follow the lead of the Wtylhrop Hall convention of last year, and its speakers should indulge in the same line of remark as did the leaders on that occasion, we are not sure that they would riot all be liable to arrest under Secretary Stanton’s order. We understand that Gen. G. M. At wood of Gardiner, formerly Adjutant-General of this State, has tendered his services to the Governor, and would like to lead one ot the nine-months regiments into the field. Gen. Atwood has a good deal of the grit and milita ry spirit about him, and would reflect honor upon the service and his State, wc have no doubt. aiy-Dr. Hitchcock remarked In one of his speeches at Brunswick, last week, that aboli tion had become the watchword of the North ern rebel-sympathizers. Say a word about using all the means God has placed in our way to crush the rebellion, and you are denounced as an “abolitionist.” This is the term of op probrium by which all loyal men are liable to be designated. The fellows who so flippantly use this word, we dare Ray. by screeching at the top of their voices “abolitionists P’ could pass Jetf Davis' lines, and gain admittance to his august presence. rr~ Recruits have been rejected on Medi cal examination, for the inq>erfortion of their teeth. How can a man with poor teeth live on india rubber beef? jy~The editor of the Brunswick Telegraph compares himself to Orpheus, who moved stones, trees, animals. Ac., by the power of his lyre. Tenney seems to forget that it was a lyre aud not a liar that produced such magi cal results, hence his comparison. It is understood that the steamship Golden Gate was not insured, but that the treasure was. Senator Wilson has written a long let ter to the New York Herald, which is publish ed in the Boston papers, to set the public rnincf right in relation to what he said and did in the Senate relating to enlistments. Mr. Wil son reveals a spirit of patriotism so brilliant that in the light of it those fellows who con tinue to traduce him appear as black as the re gions of Pluto. 'y See advertisement of steamer Ttrre, which runs every hour during the day to the Ottawa nouse. This arrangement must be of great convenience to all who desire to visit this beautiful island, as they can la* conveyed there with speed.and return at any hour they desire. Z When a fellow, the moment you say a word about the war and the necessity of pitt ing down the rehellion, commences a tirade alioiit Wendell Phillips, and can’t see a rebel because Phillips tills his eyes, you may spot him for a traitor, and you will not miss one time in a hundred. ryWe publish this morning, the Orders of Secretary Stanton, which should have appear ed in our telegraphic columns Saturday morn ing. They were forwarded to the evening press of Friday, but did not appear in the Cour ier of that day. We had no knowledge of their existence, its no copy was furnished to us, and we knew of no arrangement by which tvc could get at nny evening despatches omitted in the evening paper. Hereafter we shall lie very particular to inquire at the telegraph office, to ascertain if any thing remains over of the eve ning news, not published, ofimportance to the redder; as we learn from Mr. Berry. Agent of the Associated Press, that we are privileged to do so. We make this explanation iu justice to our own office. The Newbury port nerald says that in that city a few days since, a teacher of music, was called upon a few days since and asked if lie gave instructions in music to gentlemen. She replied that usually she should Is* happy to have such pupils, but she could not teach young men music In time of war! The young man left. LATEST BY EVENING PAPERS.

The rebel ram at Savannah proves to lie the British steamer Fingal, covered with railroad iron, armed with 14 guns. She is commanded by J. Pembroke Jones, late executive officer of the Merrimac. Coin. Dupont has trustworthy information that 2 rams are being constructed in Charles ton harbor. They arc nearly finished if not quite so, and he expects that a concerted de monstration will be made by the rams at Charleston and Savannah acting in conjunc tion witn powerful laud forces under command of Maj. Gen. A. W. Smith. There is great excitement among secession ists of Baltimore in view of the coming draft. The office of the British Consul has been crowded several days by parties eager to ob tain exemption. The excitement among the disloyal increas ed yesterday by a minor that martial law was about to be proclaimed in I^gtltimore to prevent the escape of persons preparing to avoid a draft. In the meantime recruiting is progressing rapidly, and the loyalists are preparing to meet the duties of the crisis with a zeal. At- Wheeling several secessionists left for Canada, but were caught and imprisoned. Madison Court House, Va. 8lh, via.
