COMMUNICATIONS. [Correspondence of the Press] Biddkfokd, Aug. 11,1862. To the Editore of the Portland Daily Preen The paragraph going the rounds of the pa pers, which you liave copied, that Governor Sprague of Rhode Island is raising a regiment of its colored ettizene, for a “Home Guard,” is foolish. Please road the following extract from the General Order, dated Ang. 4th, issued by the gallant Governor of “Little Rhody,” aim see u you iiiiiik 11 iiiuiuis a uoioe guard, when he says lie shall “lead them into the field, and will share with them, in common with the patriotic soldiers of the Army of the Republic, their trials and dangers, and will participate in the glories of their successes." Here is the Order: (•XRKBAL Obdkr No. 36.—Thr 6th Regiment, or dered by the Secretary of Wir under dale of Octo ber Zg, 1861, and orders issued therefor from this De partment, No. 103, Dec. Z8,1881, will consist entirely of eolored citizens Onr eolored fellow citizens an reminded that the regiment from this State in the Revolution, consist ing eutirely of colored persons, was pronounced by Washington equal, if not superior, to any in the ser vice. They constitute a pnrt of the quota from this State, and it is expected they will respond with zeal and spirit to this call. The Commander-in 'Chief will lead them into the ■eld. and will share with them in common with the patriotic soldiers of the Army of the Republic, their trials and dangers, and will participate in the glories of their successes. Now do you think that order means that the Governor is to “lead them into the field” about Providence?—about the “plantations” of Rhode Island? It is absurd! The Gover nor means what he eays. It it possible the General Government is to reftise the heroic Governor’s colored boys when they are ready to assist our beloved country It cannot be! Yours truly, M. P. [Correspondence of the Press.) Washington County Correspondence. Meaara. Editora: On arriving here by the beautiful and fast steamer New England, I am pleased to find there has been such a ready response to the call lor volunteers, most of the towns having already sent forward their en tire numbers. It is a fact, that there are a great many blabbing secession sympathizers in almost every town I have visited, from one end of the country to the other; but as the Union sentiment is greatly in the ascendent, when it comes to action, and as the wealthiest and most influential citizens are generally on the side of their country, money lias been raised for bounty, and the men procured and sent forward. In the town from which I now write, by their proud boasting, one would have supposed the aeceahera would have had it all their own way at the Town-meeting, held here last week.— But when the time came, with all their drum ming, only seven had the immoral courage to vote against raising money for the bounty.— Their memory will long live in the recollec tion of their townsmen. One widow in tills village has had ail her five sons in the «.mj, the youngest having just left to join the liitli regiment. She re marked to me, this morning, that site hud giv en “all she had to give.” They were all alive at last accounts. Yours, August 7,1862. Pekighinator. irrom our ncjruiar orreapondent.) letter from the .Maine Seventh. Heaimjuaktekb 7th Me. Volb. 1 Camp near Harrison’s Landing, J Aug. 2, 1862. Your correspondent from Augusta, states in the columns of the Press, that Joseph E. Walk er of Portland, has been commissioned 1st Lieut. Co. D. If lie has been commissioned as stated, it is the second time that lie has been appointed to that position, having held the po sition in Co. D, since January last. Three of our returned prisoners arrived in Camp lasteveuing, (viz:) Woodbury D. Hatch, John Hart, Co. G, and John Maliony, Co. B. Mr. Hatch’s residence is Portland. He in formed us that he was captured the next morn ing after the battle ofSavage Station by Stew arts Cavalry. They were but a few miles from White Oak Swamp bridge, when taken. They were marched back and arrived at Savage Sta tion at 8 A. M., where they saw Stonewall Jackson, and a force of 8000 men and 40 pieces of artillery. Their fair was hard while in Rich mond, getting seldom more than one meal per day. Preparations are being made for a move, but it may be delayed for some better time. Akoostook. What to do with the Negroes. Gen. Phillip Kearney lias w ritten a letter on the negro-arming question, that has the merit of suggesting a policy which ought to be satis factory to all loyal men. It is idle to run counter to the violent prejudice that exists in some quarters respecting the arming of negroes, and setting them to fight side by side with white men. Conceding that the prejudice is a foolish one, it is none the less potent for all that. It would create discontent not only in i the border States, but In the North; nay, in the very ranks of our armies—and this risk cannot afford to run. At the same time there i is an entire willingness to use negroes in the army at any work other than fighting, and this disposition Gen. Kearney is anxious to utilize so as to make the blacks practically as useful as the whites in our armies. He says (we ex tract from a private letter): But besides drafting, it is time for us to de prive the enemy of their extraneous engines of war. There is no more Southern man at heart than myself. I am so from education, associ ations, and from being a purely unprejudiced lover of the Union. But this is now no long er a time for hesitation. As thebiacks are the rural military force of the South, so should they indiscriminately be received, if not seized and sent off. I would uot arm them, but I would use them to spare our Whites, needed with their colors; needed to drill, that first source of discipline—that first utility in battle. But in furtherance of this, instead of the usual twenty pioneers |>er regiment, I would select fifty stalwart blacks; give them the axe, the pick, and the spade. But give them high mili tary organization. We .want bands—give us twenty negroes—again military organization. So, too, cooks for the companies—teamsters— even artillery drivers. Do not stop then-—and always without arms—organize engineer regi ments of blacks for the fortifications—pontoon regiments of blacks—black hospital corps of nurses. Put this in practice, and the day that from European interference we have to look bitterness nearly in the face—then, and not till then, awaken to the conviction that you have an army of over fifty thousand highly disci plined soldiery—superior to double the num ber of our ordinary run of badly disciplined, badly officered, unreliable regiments, now in trusted with the fortunes ot the Ntrh. I would seek French officers for them, from their peculiar gift over “natives.” In their own service they easily beat the Arabs—and then officer them, and surpass their own troops in desperate valor; also, I should advise some Ja maica sergeants of the black regiments. As for the women, employ them in hospitals, and in making cartridges. Ac. I know the southern character intimately. It is not truly brave. It is at times desperate —invincible if succestul— most dispirited if the reverse—intimidated at a distant idea, which they would encounter if suddenly brought to them, face to face. This idea of black ad juncts to the military awakes nothing inhu man. Itbut prevents the slave,runingaway or abandoned to ns, from liecoming a moneyed pressure upon us. It eventully would prepare them for freedom—for surely we do not intend to give them up to their rebei masters. In fine, why have we even now many old soldiers on the frontier garrisons Send there a black regimeut on trial—not at once, but gradually —bv the process I named above. Do this, anil and besides acquiring a strong provisional ar my, you may magnify your present one by over fifty thousand men. [X. V. World.

August 14.1882 d»t Mow and Then—A Contrast. A few days since, the clerks and employees of the Government at Washington, attended a Union demonstration, and pledged their fideli ty to the Government, and urged the most vigorous measures for putting down this un holy rebellion. The meeting was addressed by President Lincoln, ex-Gov. Boutwell, Gen. Shepley, and othere, and the resolutions were of the most inspiring and patriotic kind. But in such a movement, the Argus of this city sees something to condemn, to find fault with and to carp at—as we dare say Jeff Davis’ or gan at Richmond would-calis those engaged in the demonstration “wordy patriots,” whose resolutions have no “weight with thinking men,” and says: It Is very easy for persons receiving fat salaries to resolve great things for others to do. They are greatly rejoiced at a draft of men for the army, they say, but they do not refer to the fact that they take no chance in the levy, are exempts. We say with them,— “let the Union be restored;” but their altern ative “or let the country be made a desert,” is worthy only of devils. Even if the men were all to be killed in the struggle, the fertility of the soil would only be increased, and the wom en and children might be spared to save it ft-om becoming a desert. Judging from the resolutions the meeting was “very small pota toes,” an article that seems to abound in the District. The Argus, it Will thus be seen, takes excep tions to any expression, from those in the em ploy of the Government and in receipt of its salaries, in favor of sustaining and re maining Ihithftil to that Government. It would have them as mum in relation to the prosecu tion of the war, and as cold in its support, as was its convention last year. They should remain shady in this hour of peril, attend to their own duties, and not obtrude their opin ions upon others, because that, we suppose, would be a misuse of their official influence, a prostitution of their personal and moral pow er to illegitimate uses. This is the Argus, note, to-day. During the years 1858, ’9, and '(50, under tlie reign of James IV, when it became the great and paramount duty of the Government to “kill Douglas,” because he had dared step l>e tween the throne and the traitorous mission upon which Cobb, Floyd, Thompson, Mason, Slidell, and their fellow-conspirators had en tered, and when public meetings were held in the Nation:-.! capital, attended by all the bond slaves (officials) of these wicked men, and when the clerks were heavily taxed to support partizan presses dedicated to the purposes of the ripening rebellion, and when the head of every man who would not crawl upon his knees, and do the dirty work of the infamous cabal then in power, was summarily chopped off, the Argus—this same immaculate sheet— had not oue “railing accusation” to bring against so much corruption and abuse of pow er. We know whereof we sjieak. It is no guess work, for our relations to the Democratic par ty at that time were such that we could not avoid knowing the significant silence of that sheet, and the pain and mortification which that silence brought to every true inan of the party. The Argus knew that in this State, it was a systematized business for men in the employ of tile Government to travel all over the State to manage and control the caucuses, to report all petty officials who were untrue to the purposes of Cobb, Davis, Co., and to bring their heads to the block. We say the Argus knew this; It knew,—or might have known—that one man—J. Babson, of Li ncoln county—was paid eight dollars per day and mileage equal to that of a member of Congress, and at the same time was franked over all mall-carrying roads, ostensibly to look after Custom House officials and their duties, but really to do the dirty work of Howell Cobb, and prepare the minds of the people for the treason soon to follow. This was a sj>ecial ap pointment, to an office created for the purpose by Secretary Cobb. Under such a roving commission Babson could go all over New England, and other States, though his special field was Maine: and other equally unprinci pled men were engaged for equally nefarious purposes, and yet the Argus never had so much as one word of rebuke—never so much as grunted, or wrinkled its forehead by way i of reproof of such infamous conduct. But that was lira, whcu a so-called demo- cratic party was in power, aiul fodder was to be found at the public crib as the priee of stilling conscience. We know such revela tions are not calculated to exalt some por tions of human nature, or at least human con duct, in the estimation of the uninitiated, but truth will out. We confess to no patience with such double shuffling, two-faced dealings, and have no con fidence either in the loyalty or the patriotism of any hotly or any paper that is so ready to keep silent when Government employees are working treason, but so alert to find fault when they raise their voices unmistakably for the Union. [From our Regular Correspondent.) letter from Waterville. Waterville, Aug. 13,1802. To the Editors of the Portland Press: The exercises of the Prize Declamation of the Junior Class, on Mouday evening, was a very fine affair. The articles were excellently written and perfectly committed, and the ex ereises taken as a whole, were in excellent taste. The following is the order of exsreises: PRAYER. Music.—1—The Sword is mightier than the Pen. Charles Memo Emery, Waterville. 2— Incentives to EtTort. George Clark Gctchell, Waterville. 3— The Dignity of Little Things. Henry Joseph Cushing, Skowliegan. Music.—t—Self Made Men. Addison Small, Lewiston. 6—Man and his Fortune. George Steven Scammon, Waterville. 6—Activity the Key to Development. John Oliver Marble, Waterville. Music.—7—The New out of the Old. William Kicker Thompson, S. Parsonsficld. 8—National Boasting. Perclval Bonney, West Minot. Music.—9— War and Civilization. Nathaniel Meader, Manchester, N. II. 10— The Development of Thought. Horatio Nelsou Nutting, S. Parkman. 11— The Spirit of Conflict. William Penn Whitcliouse, S. Vassalhoro’. The committee appointed to award the pri zes, make their report to-day, but we venture to express the opinion that C. M. Emery or Nathaniel Meader will have the first prite, and the other the second. The exercises of C'Ia«s Day were deferred from Monday until Tuesday. This is a new act in the drama of our Commencement, and was most pleasantly performed; and though liberally patronized this year, will be more so hereafter. The following are the exercises in order, at the Church: Praykr—Alonzo Bunker. Mrsic. Oration—Oeorjre A. t.iflord. Mrnic. 1’OKM—iieorge L. Hunt. Music. me audience were inviten to repair to me “Class Tree,” oil the College grounds, where the remaining exercises were conducted. Music. Odk. History of the Class—E. W. llall. 3Icsic. r tarcy—A. Barker. 3Iesic. ■ess to the Class—A. L. Lane. 31usic. Smoking the l’ipe of Peace. Parting Ode. The Oration was an excellent production, well spiced- with wit and humor, and at the same time disclosed weight and dignity of char acter. The poem was a review in rhyme of the four years of college life, of its stormy days and days of sunshine, and introduced many laugh able reminiscences of didos cut and prayers forgot, closing with a pretty and touching farewell to the class. These exercises were at the church, and the rest at the class tree on the college grounds, which I was unable to witness. Tuesday Evening.—More and still more lit erary is the air we breathe. Crowded and still more crowded arc our shady streets, until they seem a sea of caputs. The trains have coine, and the half fare brings hundreds more. The Governor has just arrived, the Vice President and Senator Morrill. Now I have got away from those men of large caliber just coming into town, so I will follow the Germania Band to the Church— crow ded full and half an acre outside,—never so many here before,—everybody, great souls in little bodies and vice versa. After squeez ing and being squeezed, we got into the bouse and left the moon shining on the multitude outside. Rev. I. S. Kalloek, of New York was offering prayer—sole inn,earnest, fervent prayer. The Oration liefore the Literary Societies was by James B. Augell, Esq., editor of the Providence Journal. He chose for his theme “the scientific study of literature” and treated it in a deep and philosophical manner, show iug tlie importance of the students examining not only the source but every spring which con tributes to the stream they navigate. It was well received and listeneil to attentively by the large audience. The speaker 'bad his notes in his pocket but made no use of them, for his oration was faultlessly committed. The Poem was by Park Benjamin, Esq., of New York; and, for the information of others as ignorant as myself, I will say, he is a man of about 50 years of age, and is a cripple, haring no use whatever of one leg, and but a limited one of the other. He sung of war, and often carried the audience by storm, by his sallies of wit and humor. The mail which is to take this is about to close. I will give you further to-morrow of the Poem and Oration. The regular exercises of Commencement occur to-day. Fplleb. Sick and Wounded. Fourteen hundred sick and wounded sol diers from Gen. McClellan’s army arrived at Philadelphia on Sunday.

Yesterday morning at 8 o’clock, the excur sion train of the Maine Charitable Mechanic Association left the depot of the Kennebec and Portland liailroad—fourteen compactly filled cars—leaving, it is said, nearly or quite 300 persons who desired to go and participate in the festivities of the day, but who were ex cluded from such participancy by the limited number of cars. The point of destination was near Sebattisville, in the town of Webster. Everything passed as pleasantly as a marriage bell, and with no unusual Incidents attending, the train arrived in good season at Brunswick. The Clerk of the weather had kindly provid ed a day ol which inonarchs might be proud, and in refreshing contrast to the heat and sultriness of the day previous. To a bright August sun and an invigorating atmosphere, was added a fresh breeze, and lungs that could not drink in health and inspiration at the same time, must have been sadly diseased, or woe fully cramped with—corset strings. The com pany was in keeping with the day—bright, pleasant and lovely, crinoline being well re presented, though the bronzed features of manhood and sunny looks of childhood were by no means wantiug. At Brunswick the train was divided, and each division taken in tow by a powerful en gine for the brief trip up the picturesque An drocoggin river. Switching off upon the new Androscoggin road, the trains crossed the riv er just above the upper Falls, and then skirted the bank of the river, sometimes far above its in the stream—which presents a wild and ro mantic appearance—passing Little River vil lage, Lisbon Factory, Crowley’s (Lewiston Junction) and Sehatisville—a fine little manu facturing village at the foot of the pond—and along the margin of one of the most beautiful sheets of water that eye ever rested upon, un til one mile beyond tlie village, where the “Stars and Stripes,” proudly floating in the fresh hree.te, indicated that the termination of the trip had been reached. Tlie spot is a lovely one, and the managers showed their good taste in selecting it as the locality for tlie annual pic-nic festival of their Association. The spot is directly by the side of the rail road, on a high, clean, grassy ridge of land, beautifully shaded with oaks, birches and su gar maples, with a clear space ample for foot ball aud other pleasant games, with the magni ficent Sebattis Pond—a clear sheet of water five miles long by one broad—spread out in front, and the equally beautiful Sebattis moun tain lifting its verdant bead in tlie rear. In the midst of tlie grove flags and streamers were suspended in profusion, swings depend ed from the lofty trees, inviting the younger members of the party to their embrace, and a spacious floor had been prepared for the ac commodation of those who wished to “trip the light fantastic toe.” The Portland Band was in attendance, and discoursed some of its sweetest notes, which passed current without discount. Gathered at the music stand, in the presence of a large company from the surrounding country, the Association was called to order by J. T. Emery, Esq., Chairman of the Com mittee of Arrangements, and then a speecli of welcome was made by A. M. Cary, Esq., a mer chant of Sebattlsvillc. Mr. Cary said he could not present to the welcome guests on this oc casion the temples or tlie worksof art,for their admiration, but he would welcome them to a rural scene of natural beauty such as lie hoped would be found conqietcnt to minister to the pleasure of those who had honored his town with their presence, and atl'ord them a refresh ing and pleasant contrast to tlie heat and dust of the crowded city. Mr. Emery replied in behalf of tlie Association, in a felieitious man ner, and then called upon all present to enjoy themselves to tlie full extent of their inclina tion, which invitation was very generally act ed U|>on, and with wonderful promptness. Tlie dinner, consisting of the greatest va riety, was in pic nic style, and partaken of in the most primitive simplicity, the table being the fair face of the earth, and its cloth a news paper, a napkin, a pocket handkerchief, or the virgin grass, according to tlie tastes of the company. Tea and coffee were freely served to the multitude. At one o'clock the bugle sounded the call for an hour to be devoted to public speaking. Hon. Charles Holden offered tlie following res olutions, which were received with much sat isfaction, unanimously adopted, and ordered to be printed in the daily press of the city: Resolved, That in the genial season of the rear, it is a duty, as well as a pleasu/e, to come forth occa sionally from our plaoee of business—the marts of trade, ami the workshop of the mechanic— and enjoy for a time the beauties mf nature, which lia\e been spread about us with so prodigal a baud bv our Hea venly father, thereby taking a new inspiration and courage, by which to sustain man tally the duties and trials with which the highway of life is so thickly studded. Resolved, That, as members of the Maine C. Me chanic Association, the repetition of this valued pri\ i lege but enhances its utility and loveliness in our es teem. It i«. a custom among us, mud,- dearer and dearer even year, and we trust the time will not come when ourselves and families, and those who shall come after us, will cease to enjoy occasionally this lmppy period. Resolved, That the cares of life, or even the horrors of civil war, should not deter from the enjoyment of that rational amusement, which nerves mail to bear the ills that flesh is heir to; and especially those evils brought upon the community by the gigantic schemes of ambition which, to carry out, would destroy the life of the nation itself. Resolved, That iu the present disquieted state of our country—pluugod as it is in uu immense war—we see a most glorious illustration of patriotism, and spirit of sacrifice iu the people. The loyal hearts, by mil lions, beat responsive to every renewed call for help on the part «>t our Government, m»h and bmmum are furnished to any amount, on call; and the vaiu and foolish hojM? entertained by these traitors, that a divi ded North would uprise to help them in their infernal plans, proved a- false as have the oaths they have ta ken to support the tioveriuneut. The North is true, loyal, united, and will standby the Luiou with its last drop of blood. Resolved, That as an association of mechanics, we regard our country’ and its government as the best the world ever saw, and palsied be tiie baud and struck dumb the tongue, that shall do or say aught against the glorious ark of liberty and Luiou. Resolved, That our thanks are most heartily due Jlr. If Maxwell, lor the free use, so kindly tendered, of this lovely grove; to .Mr. J. Weymouth, our land lord, for his'valuable aid; to Mr. .J. F. Jewell for ids kind assistance; and, in short, to all the citizens (too numerous to particularize) of the beautiful region about us. for their hearty reception of these excur sionists, ui.d for the various acts of kindness which have marked their favors toward us since we conclu ded to pilch our tents among them for the brief space —indeed, too short—which we have beeu enabled to tarry with them. On call from the presiding officer, brief speeches were made by Messrs. Charles Hol den, Newell A. Foster. J. T. Gilman, J. T. Walton. M. A. Blanchard and J. T. Emery.— Standing beneath an arch on which was in scribed. “The Union, Now and Forever,” it is not \vonderful that the speakers all spoke mainly to one theme—the Union of these States, the necessity of its preservation, and the importance of crushing out this unholy re hellion which has been instigated against it.— The speeches were patriotic, with occasional sallies of humor, and were listened to with marked attention. After the speaking was ended, “the decks were cleared for. action,” and music and danc- i ing, foot-hall and swinging, promenading and strolling, conversation and story-telling tilled up the balance of the afternoon until 4 o’clock, when, to the tune of “Homeward Bound.” the company began to make tracks for the long line of cars, and at five o’clock precisely, they were rolling along the road at the rate of twen ty miles an hour, reaching this city at 7 1-2 o’ clock, no accident or mishap having occurred during the day to mar the festivities of the oc casion. _ ORIGINAL AND SELECTED. Ax Ei.eoaxt Sword fob Col. Kicii.—Th New York Tribune says a sword, sash-belt and box. valued at $300, is now on exhibition at Tiffany's, the history of which is told by the following inscription: “Presented to Colonel Rish worth Rich, by the officers and privates of the Ninth Maine Volunteers, as a token of their appreciation of him as a soldier and a gentleman. Fernandina, Florida. July 4, 1862.” The scabbard is of solid silver, surmounted by silver bands, in imitation of a laurel wreath. The handle is mounted by a silver head of Medusa, and the blade is of the finest quality of steel. Parson Brownlow characterizes the traitor John Slidell, as the “butt cut of origin al sin and the upper crust of nastiness,” and said he would not insult the memory of Judas Iscariot by comparing him with the modern traitor. J#“Rev. John Allen, better known in tills State as “camp-meeting John,” is attending a camp-meeting at Martha's Vineyard.

MATTERS ABOUT TOWN. Responded Cheerfully.—The ladies ol Portland in prompt obedience to the call for assistance from the Ladies Committee, in be half of the sick and wounded, of Maine, soon despatched the work of sewing laid out for them at the City Hall, on Monday; and, yester day, eleven hundred towels for the I7th Reg iment were delivered iuto the handsof the Quartermaster. The Committee would res|>ectfully request of all parties in this and surrounding towns, who are so kindly forwarding jellies and other articles of a similar nature, to exercise a little care in packing, as in some instances, through breakage and leakage, goods have been much injured. We noticed at the rooms yesterday morning, one case, as received from Calais, Me., and another large case destined for Lieut. W. R. Rich, Co. A. loth Reg. Me. Vol., New Orleans. Cameos.—We have recently seen some like nesses cut in cameo by Mr. Simmons, the sculp tor, which, for exquisite beauty of finish, sharp clear outlines, and faithfulness to nature, we have never seen excelled. Wc think he must be overrun with orders forthesc beautiful spec imens of art. We saw at his rooms, also, a beautifully modelled, and life-like bust of our townsman, Mr. Drummond, whicli reflects great credit upon his skill as a sculptor. Those Blankets.—We are informed by the Baggage Master, on the Eastern Railroad, Mr. Geo. Bachelder,—that the. blankets sent for by Quartermaster Harding, were brought to their Depot, Monday P. M. an hour before the train left. Mr. Prescott put on a car sjiec ially for that purpose and brought them through by mail train. There were no blankets left, at the Eastern Depot on Saturday. Personal.—C. F. Brown, alias “Arteinas Ward,” arrived yesterday from Waterford, Me., and is now stopping at the United States Hotel. We notice the arrival, also, at the Preble House, of Professor A. D. Bache. Gen. Tot ten, J. T. Hoover, and Morton S. Henry. LATEST BY EVENING PAPERS. Important Army Movements In Progress— stonewall Jackson compelled to Retreat— Ranks covers himself with fRory—Destruc tion of Railroad Bridges—Rebel Reports from’the South and I Vest—Jackson win ning and burning bridges to prevent pur suit—Pope heavily reinforced and ready to advance. >EW lOUK, August 13. The Time* Washington dispatch suites that It is considered certain that highly important army movements are either in progress or completed, but it is not regarded as proper yet to indicate their nature. Much more cheerful impressions are prevaling concerning Gen. Pope’s engagement. Jackson’s retreat Is known here to have been a necessity. He had evidently become aware of the trap into which lie was being beguiled, and retreated to escape from the danger which the execution of our plans threatened. His eye wus on Fredericksburg as well as Culpep per. Well informed persons freely declare that Gen. Pope will be in Gordonsville by Saturday at the farthest, though ]>erhaps not without fighting, which may be going on now. The Tribune’s correspondent at Culpepper says, relative to the late battle, the position of our agmy on the battle field could uot have been worse. The enemy had every advantage In |>osltion and numbers. Banks covered himself with glory. There is not a man living who could have managed his men with more skill under the same circum stances. He was constantly in the thickest of the fight and shared all the dangers of the com mon soldier. His brave little army was sacri ficed for want of reinforcements—nothing else. The Fredericksburg correspondent of the Tribune gives an account of the expedition under Gen. Cutter, on Wednesday, to Freder icks Hall Station, where they tore up eighty lengths of the Virginia Central R.R.. cutthe telegraph, burning the wire and poles, and blew up the road bed with powder. A party was also sent down to near Boni pas Turn Out to blow up the track and switches, which was accomplished in a most thorough and satisfactory manner. At this point the water tanks and depot were burned, the track destroyed and a small cul vert was blown up with powder. A little further on the track was barricaded with new rails, rendered useless by burning as were those above Frederick Hail. Hearing that three trains were expected up with troops from Richmond, the expedition commenced its return march. 'A large bridge over the Pamunky was burnt to prevent the enemy Irotn following, and the force, rejoined their commands. The Tribune's Washington dispatch reports the President as saying last evening—‘1 regard Gen. Banks as one of tlie best men In the army. He makes me no trouble, but with a large or small force he always knows his duty and does it.” The Richmond Examiner of the 6th contains the following, via Mobile: Amite Hirer, August 6.—About one o’clock this moniiug federal gunboats attacked the confederate ram Arkansas. Messengers in form me that she fought them well lor some time, iuflicting great damage. She was then blown up by her crew. The messengers think they all escaped. (Signed) Joint C. Bkkckixkidge. Another dispatch dated ten miles above Baton Rouge, 6th, states that rebels under Breckinridge occupied the town; that the ram Arkansas was fifty miles up the river with her maehiuery disabled; that the rebels burn ed all the Union camps and cut up the federal tnrimvu lenllir The dispatch also states that Gen. Williams and other officers were killed. The rebels claim a complete victory. A Mobile dispatch of 7th says that a tight is going on at Tazewell, seven miles from Cum berland Gap audthat Bains was making a forc ed march to get in the rear of the fedcrals. A Knoxville dispatch of tlie 7th states that the fedcrals were repulsed to Tazewell and were in full retreat. A federal battery of four guns was captured. The rebel Gen. Burton had gained the feder al’s rear and Stevenson flanked Gen. Bowen and captured the federal army of East Tenne aee. A Mobile dispath of the 8th states a schoon er and a steamer fully laden have arrived, ut Southern ports. Culpepper, C. H., Va., August 12—The flight of Stonewall shows that he fears our troops. On Saturday he engaged with his whole force, numbering at least 30,000 men, a portion of the corps of Gen. Batiks, who behaved most nobly, holding the enemy in check, and with the aid of one division of Gen. McDowell’s and Sigel's corps whicli arrived late in the day driving the enemy from several positions and Anally from the field ot battle. Jackson’s loss can scarcely be less than fif teen hundred. Our loss is much less. The battle was deeidely the bloodiest of the war. On Sunday Jackson remained idle, the troops on both sides being exhausted. On Mouday Jackson sent a flag of trnce ask ing permission to bury his dead, a large pro portion of which still lie on tlie Held of battle, pending which he escaped with his trains.— This morning Jackson’s pace towards Gordons ville, compelling him to burn the bridges to save his himsell. Jackson evidently does not mean to stop running until -he reaches the re bel fortification at Richmond. Gen. Tope has fully met the public expecta tions of him. New York, August 13.—The Tribune's sjiccial dispatches from Culpepper yesterday state that the rebels have abandoned' their po sition near Cedear Mountain and are in full re treat to tlie Rappidan pursued by tlie cavalry and artillery of Gen. Sigel's corps, which have just been sent out. Jackson, Ewell and Hill’s forces are on the other side of the Rappidan. Longstreet who had advanced from Orange Court House with reinforcements, has halted on tlie southern bank of tlie river. There was no skirmishing yesterday, but the troops were under arms during the day. Gen. Topi- having concentrated his army and haying been heavily reinforced since the battle, is again ready to advance. It is sup posed that the rebels will dispute the passage of the Rappidan.

Interesting Correspondence. IlKAIMiUAIlTKKS, DEP’T VlHOINIA, July 21, 1862. 1 Gen'I: It has come to my knowledge that many of our citizens engaged in jK-aceful avo oations have been arrested and imprisoned be came they refused to take the oath of allegiance to the C. 8., while others by hard and harsh treatment have been compelled to take an oath not to bear arms aguinst that Government.— I have learned that about 100 of the latter class have recently been released from Fortress Monroe. This Government refuses to admit the right of the authorities of the United States to ar rest our citizens and exhort from them their parole not to render military service to their country, under the penalty of incurring pun ishment, in case they fail into the hands of your forces. I atn directed by the Secretary of War to inform you that such oaths will not be regarded as obligatory, and persons who take them will lie required to render military services. Should your Government treat the rendition of such service by these persons, as a breach of parole, and punish it accordingly, this Government will resort to retaliatory meas ures, as the only measure of compelling the observance of the rules of civilized warfare. 1 have the honor to be, very respectfully, your obdieut servant. (Signed) R. E. LEE, Gen. Commanding. To M:y. Gen. McClellan. HEAlXjr AUTEBS OF THE AltMY, I Washington. Aug. 13. Maj. General Geo. U. McClellan, commanding Army Potomac: General,—I have just received from the AtU of June last I w as in structed by the Secretary of War to inquire of Major Gen. McClellan as to the truth of al leged murders committed on our citizens by officers of the United States army. The case of Wm. 11. Mumford. reported to have been mudered at New Orleans by order of Major Gen. 11. F. Butler, and Col. John Owen, re ported to have been in Missouri by order of Major Gen. Pope, were those, referred to, i had the honor to be informed by Major Gen. McClellan tliat he.had referred these inquiries to his Government for a reply. No answer has as yet been received. The President of the C. S., has since been cordially informed that numerous other officers of the army of the United States within the Confederacy, have been guilty of felonies and capital offences, w mi it on puiiisiKiuic an uic mn s, Human amt divine. 1 am directed by iiim to bring to your notice a few of those authentic called.— Newspapers received from the United States annouce as a tact that Major Gen. Hunter lias arrested slaves for Uie muader of their mas ters, thus done all in his jiower to inaugurate a servile war, w hich is worse than that of the savage, w ;is much as it snperads other horrors to the indiscriminate slaughter of all ages, sexes and conditions. Brig. Gen. Phelps is reported to have initiated at New Orleans the example ot Major Gen. Hunter on the coast of South Carolina. Brig. Gen. G. J!. Fitch is stated in the same Journals to have murdered in cold blood two peaceful citizens, la-cause one of his men, while invadiug our country, was killed by some unknown person while de fending his home. 1 am instructed by the President of the Confederate States, to repeat tlie inquiry relative to the case of Mumford, and to ask whether the statements in relation to the action of Geu’ls Hunter, Phelps and Fitch, are admitted to he true and whether the conduct of those Generals is sanctioned by their Government. I am further instructed by his excellency, the President, to give notice that in the event of not receiving a reply to these enquiries within fifteen days from delivery of this lettea, that it will he assumed that the alleged facts arc true, and are sanctioned by the Government of the United States, jn such event the Government will rest, the re sponsibilty of the the retribution on retaiitory measures, which shall be adopted to put an end to these merciless atrocities which now characterize the war against the Confederate States. I am most respectifuily, your obedient ser vant. R. E. LEE, Gen. Commanding. Headquarters Army ok C. S., I Richmond, Aug. 2. j To the Ganeral command U. S. A. General: In obedience to the order of his Excellency, tin- President of the C. S. A., I have tie- honor to make you the following communication: On the 22d July last a car tel for a general exchange of prisoners was signed by Maj. Gen. John A. l)ix, on behalf of the United States, and by Maj. Gen. I). H. Hill, on tile part of this Government. By the terms of that cartel it is stipulated that all prisoners of war shall be discharged on parole j until exchanged. Scarcely had the car'el I been signed when the military authorities of i the United States commenced a practice changing the character of the w ar from sueii as becomes civilized nations, into a campaign of indiscriminate robbery ami murder. A general order, issued by the Secretary of Afar of the United Slates in the city of Washing ton, directs the Military Commander of the United States to take property of our people for the convenience and use of the army, with cut compensation. A general order Issued by Maj. Gen. Pope on the 23d of July last, the day after the. date of the cartel, directs the murder of our peaceful citizens as spies, if even found quietly tilling their farms. One of his ltrig. Generals has seized innocent and peaceful inhabitants to be held as hostages to the end that they may be murdered in cold blood if any of his soldiers may be killed by persons whom he designates as bushwhackers. Some of the military authorities seem to sup pose that their end will be lietter obtained by a savage war in which no quarter is to be giv en and no age or sex is to lie spared. Under these circumstances this gov’t has issued the accompanying General Order.which I am directed to transmit to you, recognizing Gen. Po|>e and his commissioned officers to lie in the position which they have chosen for themselves, that of rubbers and murders, hot that of public enemies entitled if captured, to l>e treated as prisoners of war. The Pres't al so instructs me to inform you that we renounce our right of retaliation on the innocent, and will continue to treat the private enlisted sol diers of Gen. Pope’s army as prisoners of war, but if after notice to your gov't that we con fine repressive measures to the punishment of commissioned officers who are willing partici pants In these crimes, the savage practices threatened in the ordersalluded to be persisted in, we shall reluctantly be forced to the last resort of accepting the war on the terms chosen by our enemies, until the voice of an outraged humanity shall compel a respect for* the recognized usages of w ar. While the Pres’t considers that the facts referred to would justify a refusal on our part to execute the cartel by which we have agreed to liberate an excess of prisoners of war in our hands, a sacred regard for plighted faith, which shrinks from the semblance of breaking a promise, preelues a resort to such an extremity. Nor is it his desire to extend to any other forces of the U. S. the punishment merited by General Pope, and such commissioners as choose to participate in the excesses of his infamous or der.

Buggies, Chief of Staff: I have the honor to report tlmt in obedience to instructions re ceived from tlie Maj. Gen. commanding the army of Virginia. 1 this morning proceeded in the direction of Orange Court House with the 1st Vt. regiment, 1st Mich, l«t Maine, Lt. Col. Richtnone, 5th N. Y„ cavalry regiments, and 4 pieces of artillery. AIhiuI 3’ or 4 miles from your headquarters I discovered the pickets of the enemy, and soon utter two large bodies of cavalry and the woods tilled with footmen. A strong line of skirmishers was thrown out,who soon drove in the pickets. When in range of the enemy a few shells were thrown, which dispersed him in all directions. The footmen kept in the woods, and lied by the ltapidau Station, and the cavalry fled down the Orange Court house road. I pursued them cautiously, fearing an ambuscade to Crooked river, which had swollen to such an extent that my artillery could not cross. Part of the 1st Vt. and 1st. Va. cavalry swam the river and continued the pursuit to Robinson's river, which was so full and turbulent as to be extremely dangeious.— In the pursuit a good many prisoners wound ed in Saturday’s tight, were found almost abandoned. Maj. Andrews, chief of artillery to Gen. Jackson, was found at Crooked river badly wounded, in charge of an assistant sur geon. Tlie flight of the enemy after Saturday’s fight, was precipitate and in great eonfusion. Ilis old camp was strewn witli dead men and horses, and arms. His flag of truce yesterday to bury liis dead, afforded some more time for his escape. The enemy to-day has the benefit of a hard rain, which puls high water between us. [Signed] John Bufokh, Brig. Gen. Philadelphia, August 13. Geu. Geary is en route home. He lias not lost ills arm as reported. Washington, August 13. Advice* from Culpepper, dated yesterday, says that owing to the severe injury that Gen. Banks received, the commend of the second corps has devolved upon Gen. Williams. Brig. Gen. Crawford commands the division of Gen. Williams, and Gen. Green commands the di vision of Gen. Augar. who is severely but not dangerously wounded. An escaped’ prisoner saw at Orange Court House Gen. Prince and Capt. Wilkins, in the hands of the rebels. They were on their way to Richmond. On visiting the battle field many, if not the greater part of our dead officers were found, some partially nnd others entirely stripped of their uniforms. The dead Union and rebel soldiers lay about promiscously and intermixed on the field.— Tlie reliel generals returned, aud early held tlie field, and conversed freely with our offi cers about the battle. They stateil that the full brigades of Gen. A. P. Hill, and Long street, and Ewell, were opposed to our small band of heroes, and that they were terribly cut to pieces by our fire, leading to the inference that they suffered fully as mucli as ourselves, as previously stated. Stonewall Jackson com manded tlie field in person. Gen. Roberts, of Maj. Gen. Po|ie’s staff, is Military Governor of tlie |>ost at Culpepper, and on the day of the battle he rendered valuable assistance by bis military experience. New York, August 13.

Although I understand that the Doctor has for many years, in his operations on these delicate organs—the eye and ear, met with em inent success, he has not deemed it necessary to keep blazing before the public his surgical skill in this par ticular part of'Ids probHioi, but has beend&eutly 1 performing cures, many of them of a remarkable character.’’ jty* Certificates from numerous of his patients will testify to his successful operations, all of which may be seen at his office.

poetry. _ Rfeng of the Volunteers. Tune—Marching Along, Arouee for the conflict; why linger ye here? A wav, while the summons still nogs on the ear— Away to the thousands of hearts brave and strong. And join in the ranks while they arc marchiug along. Marchiug along, we arc marching along, Union and Liberty, shall still be our song. For L'uiou we battle, and our blowB true and strong, We strike for our Union while we arc marching along. The tramp of the steed, and the roll of the drum, l'roclaim the ela i answer—"We surely will come,” From lull top and valley,are pouring the throng, To Join in the battle they are marchiug aloug, Marchiug along. Ac. Oh! ye who have slumbered so long at your ease, And dreamed in your quiet homes, visions of peace, Arouse from your slumber.and crush out the wrong, And joiu iu our army uow marchiug along. Marching along, Ac. Awake to the glory, awake in your might, Ye sous of the heroes who conquered in fight, The proud gueen of Ocean, so vain and so strong, Who scorns our brave troops that are marchiug along. Marching aloug, Ac. Awake to the peril that threatens our land. Arm, arm for the conflict, and with the keen brand, Give blows to the traitor, both heavy and strong, And Join our brave band that is marching aloug. Marching aloug, Ac. In vain shall the flag of the rebel uproar, Wa’ll crush the vile emblem of pride and of fear. And raise our own banner with shouting and song, And bear it aloft while marching along, Marching along. Ac. MISCELLANY. Surgeon—What's the matter with you Would-be-Exempt—Weak back, sir, very weak back. 8.—Weak knees, you mean. W.—Yes, sir, weak knees—very weak knees can’t march. S.—Yes, I’ll give you a certificate—(writes): “Upon honor I hereby certify that the bear er, -is weak in the knees, a great coward who slirinks from defending ,his country.— Hope he will be put in the front ranks, where he can’t run away. Surgeon,” Ac. W.—(Handing the Surgeona quarter) thank you, sir. I knew I was entiled to a certificate. This rebellion, so wicked and monstrous, must be put down. It has done my heart good to see the energy of the President in ordering a draft. (He reads the certificate and faints.)—[Hart ford Times. Robbing a Bride of her bed.—The St. Louis Democrat has the following:—At Lay er’s boarding house, in this city, an unusual wedding came off on Tuesday night, and the dance was prolonged till one o'clock in the morning. The bride and groom then repaired to their apartment, but—horrible rmi—the bed and bedding had been sacriligously stolen from the nuptial chamber! Some vindictive wretch had gained felonious ingress at the rear, and effected a robbery unparalleled in the history of matrimony. It is conjectured that so fell vengeance could only have been devised and executed by some disappointed lover of the bride. w lucre a mail wiiu puui bo lima Who never to himself hath said.

Butler was told that the rebels had concocted a plot to assassinate him, with characteristic coolness he replied:—“They had better not do that, for it would leave them in the hands of Phelps.” Phelps, the almlition tat is second in command, and abolitionism is his hobby. An Indian chief once said as wise a thing as any philosopher. A white man having re marked that he had uot time enough to do something, the Indian replied: “Well, I sup pose you have all the time there is.” “Why do you drive such a miserable looking carcase as that Why don’t yon put a heavier coat ol flesh on him T" said a traveler to an Irish car-driver. “A heavier coat of flesh By the powers, the poor creature can hardly carry what little there is on him now!” Pier and Mantle Mirrors.

That for Children Cutting Teeth, if troubled with Diarrhoea or any irregularities of the bowels, all oth er remedies are insignificant, as compared with CLEM’S SUMMER CURE.

OILMAN, recently of the Bath Times, and JOSEPH B. HALL, of the Aroostook Herald. The Portland Daily Press is intended to be an enterprising, vigorous and lire Daily Moruing Paper, containing the latest and fullest news by mail and telegraph. THE MAINE STATE PRESS Is a large, well-filled, careftilly edfted, 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, and of the City of Portland as its interests twine with, and are inseparable from, those of the State. Politically, the Preps will give an earnest, cordial, and generous support to the administration of Abra ham Lincoln, who in little more than one year, has indelliblv 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, but in the unparalleled 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 sound Republican principles, and, inasmuch as political organizations have become a necessity in carrying into effect great principles of political economy, and inasmuch as ,the Republican party which, in the brief chapter of its history already written, has successfully refuted the allegation of its enemies that its designs and tendencies were sec tional, aud triumphantly vindicated its claim to a just and liberal Nationality, lias remained steadfast in its devotion to the Union while other organizations have so generally become infected with a disloyal spirit, and inasmuch as it is the only party which at present seems competent to conserve the great prin ciples underlying all free Governments, the Press will cordially sustain the organization of that party, not with a design to foster a mere partizan spirit, but in the full couiciousness that it embodies the true principles upon which our government rests, and af fords the only available means of accomplishing such results as a lofty patriotism imperatively demands. It will neither seek nor endorse any compromises with men in rebellion against the laws of the land, but will inculcate loyalty to the great central idea of all true democracy—that the majority must govern. Upon the exciting question of Domestic Slavery, it may be proper to say, that while the Press will sanc tion no interference with tlie constitutional or legal 1-iirllta Ilf Inrtl nilm it u*itt t.nitlia. annlnin.n C,,- I evil which constitutes the foulest blot upon our national character, nor attempt to resist the tide of events that seems destined to sweep from existence an institution which is the greatest anomaly in a free government. The emancipation of slavery in the federal Capital, the co-operation of the Federal with the loyal State governments, to secure gradual eman cipation, as proposed by President Lincoln, aud all other constitutional measures looking to a peaceful removal of our greatest “moral, political and social evil,” will find in the Press a generous aud hearty i support. While thus distinctly announcing the general course projMMued for the Press, and intending that, alike in war aud 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 true men have hon estly differed, and that, coming by different routes they now* find themselves travelling parallel roads; aud, instead of seeking to w*iden the differences be tween those who are required by a common patriot ism to act in concert, the Press will labor hopefully to encourage unity of purpose and harmony of act ion amoug all loyal men. Aside from its political department, the Press will be earnestly devoted to the advancement of the best interests of the city and State. Its Local Depart ment will in no case be neglected. Particular atten tion will be given to the C ommercial and Maritime interests. It will be the aim of its conductors to make it an indispensable institution of the State, and a ge nial aud welcome visitor in every work-shop, count ing-house, and family circle. The Editors, not un known to the people of Maine, will give their undivi ded energies to the work before them, aud labor to make such a paper as the city of Portland, the State of Maine, and the exigencies of the timea demand one that shall be true to the popular instincts. The Portland Daily Press is printed with en tirely new type, on a sheet as large as that of any daily in Maine, and issued every morning, (Sun days excepted,) at 95 per annum. Subscriptions for less than six months, GO cents per mouth. The Maine State Press, large, neatly printed, aud well filled with the news of the week, and orig inal and selected Political, Agricultural. Literary aud Miscellaneous reading, making it specially adapted to the Family Circle, will be issued weekly, at 81.50 per year, idvariably in advance. To any person sending the names of jive new lubecribers, cash in advance, an extra copy will be sent gratis. X. A. Foster, J. T. Oilman, X. A. Foster k Co., Publishers. J. B. Hall.
