Editors Yesterday a second town meeting was held in this town for the purpose of raising money to lie given as Ikiuii ty to persons volunteering for the pending quota. The town had just paid $100 each for its quota ol three years men; and no one most earnest to cncouraga volunteers,contemplated a higher sum than had been contributed to the preceding requisition. But it seems that the same secesli sympa thizers, who lately voted to raise ouly sulli cient to pay the fine for drafted men, had now become so liberal as to motion for a most ex travagant sum, with the expectation of there by defeating the object. A motion to raise $200 to a man, was made by the most open mouthed rebel in town, and, much to the sur prise and chagrin ol the these unworthies, the tail of the kite not exactly comprehending whither the head was tending. In the evening the ladies, who are actively engaged in the good cause of helping minister to our sick and wounded soldiers’ wants, held a “raspberry fes tival” In the lion. Mr. Plummer’s Hall, whose ample proportions were so well crowded, that It might, with more propriety, be called a “rasi> berry jam.” A number of dialogues were spok en by the young folks; several beautiful and patriotic songs were sung in excellent style by a quartette of ladies and gentlemen, accompa nied by the guitar, skillfully handled by Pro fessor Wass. I understand the use of the Hall was freely bestowed by Senator Plummer, on the occa sion, who also gives the use of it to the la dies. who now meet every day to work in this eminently benevolent cause. This is a smart little village. The citizens have taken great pains to make things attract ive by bestowing much care upon their gar dens, and the establishment of shade trees throughout every street. The inhabitants are proverbially hospitable, and live on terms of the closest friendship and good fellowship amongst themselves. Notwithstanding the hardness of the times there are no less than thrree large barks building here, whose ag gregate tonnage will exceed fifteen hundred. Aug. 14,1362. Pekigri.nator. No More Complaints of Being Outnum bered. There is one complaint that conjcs from our battle fields that should be stopped. It is a shame that it has existed so long. That com plaint is that we are always outnumbered by the enemy. Better lie cabled cowards, poor fighters, better be called anything than let it be truly said longer that rebellion can muster more men than loyalty, that despotism can always find more men to fight than liber ty, that sedition can concentrate more forces at any given battle point than the boasted loy alty of which we have vaunted ourselves so much. It is no credit to the North, and to the loyal Union that this is so. It lietokeus an apathy on the part of those who should rise up to the defence of their country and their liber ties, a fatal apathy. We have been outnum bered in Virginia, but that block is removed. The Executive authorities can act firmly now. Now unity can concentrate and precipitate the power of the North. The cry that we are outnumbered must not, will not,be heard long er. The three hundred thousand are on the way, and they must turn the tide of battle. Better concede that the rebels light like Ito maus, that they are equal to us man for man, tliau allow it to he said any more that they outnumber us, and give that as the reason lor drawn liatties, or for defeats. It does not sound well in Versailles or at St. James; it makes the true American hang his head in shame be fore the taunts of European impudence, which tells us that our Kepublie has not true patriot ism, that It is not truly self-supporting. Here we talk with calm assurance that we have twenty millions of whites in the Northgigainst I four or five millions of w hites in the Southend say that we must succeed; yet, atmanv points the rebels outuuinlier us two to oue. WUi this read well in history? If Ireland rose to-day, to strike down the pride of England,would the number she could pour into the field, no mat ter how holy the cause, lie allowed to exceed the number that England would marshal I against her? HSavoy and Nice should revolt against the transfer to Napoleon, and seek to go back to united and native Italy, would Na poleon permit theiu,eve» with the aid of Italy, to be forever concentrating two to one on their battle fields No. The energy of these two powers in the cause of despotism even, would precipitate an overwhelming force to crush the rebellion. So it shall tie in the United States, in the cause of the Union, of liberty, and of humani ty. Our generals on the field shall liave the men. If they are not concentrated at the fighting points, they, and not the people, shall bear the disgrace. No matter if our positions are the circumference of the circle, and the rebels’ position that of the centre, numbers shall make up the desparity of positiotis, and [t shall no more be said that the forces of Ke bellion are forever outnumbering the forces of the union.—[Boston Post. About twenty-five of the rebel guard that came down with the Union prisoners, ex cltauged on the James river, smuggled them selves on board our boats and deserted. Ilount)’ and Glory. Young men now is your time. Your coun try needs your services,—she may never need them thus again. Do not frame excuses; do not hesitate, but come boldly forward and en list. Bounty anti glory are within your grasp. Besides being fairly paid—(if you volunteer,) you receive a iilieral bounty,—rank in haml. And then, the glory, the honor, the satisfac tion. you will derive from rushing voluntarily to the rescue in this fearful exigency. What is life, and what will it amount to, If when large sacrifices are demanded, and great deeds called for, you shirk responsibility, take no hand in the struggle that tries men’s souls, but hide yourselves away tiil the storm has spent its fury. That will be pusilanimous and cowardly; and when glowing accounts of the deeds of the patriots of to-day are written hereafter, your cheeks will lie mantled with shame that you were found wanting at the critical moment. If you wait to be dratted, you get no bounty, and.the measure of honor to which you may attain w ill depend solely on the manner your ■duty is discharged on the field. There is no ready hand and willing heart to excite the ad miration of men. Enlist, enlist; and may God inspire the heart of every man, woman and child with the spirit of true and genuine patriotism.

MATTERS ABOUT TOWN. EF“Portland has tarnished, since the com mencement of the rebellion, 1102 men. John .Smith, 101st, having been adjudged guilty of larceny, in purloining, as lie did, (wo curt stakes, was sentenced to pay a flue of $1.00 and costs, amounting to 2.88. LF“The great excursion of the Sons of Temperance comes off to-day. Cars leave the depot of the Y. 4 C. road at 8 1-2 o’clock, and start from the Grove, on their return, at live o’clock P. M. The First Lieutenant of Company F, 17th Regiment whose name we have not learn ed, was presented on Monday with an elegant sword and sash, costiug about forty dollars, by the employees of the Grand Trunk Railway. Charles F. Dunn, lately returned from the seat of war, was brought before Judge I*ane yesterday morning, charged w ith having forged an order, iu his father’s name, upon Messrs. Davis, 4 Co., of this city, to the amount of $500. Case not decided. Attention.—We are requested to give no tice that the first battalion of volunteer mili tia of this city will meet at Brown’s Hall, Un ion Street, this evening at 7 1-2 o’clock. Im portant business will be before the meeting, and a full attendance is desirable. CF-We are pleased to chronicle any in stance of self devotion to the great cause of our country, any and everywhere we may chance to find it. Mr. H. S. Jewett, late bag goge master on the K.4P.R. R., a young man well known to the public for his general ur banity, and courteous demeanor, has thrown up a lucrative situation, and taken a place in the ranks of the 19th regiment. Mr. J. leaves a kind wife, and all the endearments ol home, for the post of honor upon the battle-field. Spiritualism.—In another column will be found the notice of Mb. C. H. Foster, of New York, who is considered one of the most re markable test mediums for the manifestation commonly known as spiritual, in this country* The manifestations given In his presence, are eaid to be truly wonderful, and have puzzled the learned aavans of Europe. Persons who desire to investigate this subject, will undoubt edly find this a favorable opportunity. Y. C. R. R.—We learn that this corpora tion has passed into the hands of the old trus tees, through a late legal decision. Alexander Bailey, Es erate against the Federals at every possible point. They also state that every man liable to be drafted iuto the Federal army, found going to any federal military post, or any person known to have reported to any military post the whereabouts of Southern men shall lx- shot wherever found also, any one known to pay money to the fed erals, to exempt him from military duty, Is li able to have his chattels and property taken for the use of the Southern army. These or ders euienated from officers recognized as regular soldiers by the rebel Secretary of War. St. Louis, August 19. Passengers by the Pacific It. It. bring re ports that a fight occurred on Friday at Lone Jack, Jackson County, about 20 miles south west of Lexington, between parts of Colonels Phillips' and Crittenden’s regiments of State troops, suu strong, and about ;WU0 rebels un der Quantrell and other guerilla chiefs, result ing in the defeat of the Slate forces with a loss of 200 in killed and wounded, and two pieces of artillery. Official accounts arc expected to-day. Various Matters. New York, August 19. The steamship Glasgow is below. Her news is anticipated. A special dispatch from Washington to the Post says the Treasury department begins to issue new postal stamps to-morrow, which will proceed at the rate of $27,000 daily. Kuinors are current that Jackson is coming up the Shenandoah valley to outllank Pope. Probably unfounded. The Cincinnati Gazette announces that the rebels have captured Somerset and Monticello, in Kentucky. The remains of General Williams have been forwarded to his relatives at New burg in charge of a Committee of the City Council. Two cargoes of cotton some 800 bales being those of the captured schooners Mag nolia and Andromeda, were sold at auction to day, bringing $166,000. Under instructions from the State Depart ment, passports are granted to persons liable to draft, who desire to go abroad, on execut ing a bond with sufficient security to the United States, conditional to the ix-rformance of military duty or furnish a substitute. Baltimore, August 19. The steamer Balloon brought a dozen of seccsh citizens from Caroline County, here to day, who were furnished lodgings in Fort Mc Henry. From the Army of the Potomao. Fortress Monhoe, Aug. 19. A great number of steam-hip*, steamboats and schooners are now ir. this harbor loaded with disabled soldiers and commissary stores, camp equipage, Ac. The Harrison's Landing mail boats made their regular trips yesterday, when they were hauled otf. Nothing has been heard from Gen. McClel lan’s army to-day, but lust evening they were successfully crossing the Chickaliominy, en route to Williamsburg, where their advance had arrived, and List night their baggage train was passing through Yorktowu towards Fort ress Monroe. Philadelphia, Aug. 19. The Bulletin says a gentleman who left. Fort ress Monroe hist evening furnishes the follow in" inlormation: The army of the Potomac bad all arrived at the lower end of the Peninsula without being molested on the way In the slightest degree. G*;n. McClellan, It was understood, was at Williamsburg yesterday morning. Gen. Eitz Joen Porter’s Division, which was on the opposite side of James River, has also come down the Peninsula. The weather was cool and delightful and most favorable for the operation of the troops. From Tennessee. Memphis, Aug. lfl. The Grenada Appeal of the 1:1th states that the federal* took possession of Bayou Sara, on the 11th, seizing all the sugar and molasses, and quartering a garrison there; also, that the relwls have been reinforced in Arkansas, that their advance stores there have been increased, and that Gen.

An interruption in the Nova Scotia line pre vented the transmission of a part of the Europa’s news last uiglit. Tiie U. S. steamer Tuscarora arrived at Kingston on the 9th. The Confederate steamers Mcrriinac and “290" have both succeeded in escaping from the Tuscarora. The Times of Saturday has an editorial ex patiating on the diminution of tiie paper cur rency in America In another article the Times reviews the conduct of America in re gard to the commerce of Nassau. It ques tions the poliey of carrying out their powers to the full extent, hut says Lord Palmerston is perfectly right in tolerating a claim which it may hereafter be for the interest of his own country to enforce. The American correspondence in the Times anil other journals, represents recruiting as a failure, but the correspondent of tiie London Times says there is no doubt that in a few weeks the President’s call will lie fully re sponded to. He represents that Gen. McClel lan’s army is stronger than it was before the late battles. It is stated that Garibaldi refuses to obey Victor Emanuel's proclamation. It is also stated that he held a council of war on tiie 14th ult, at which it was determined to march on Koine, notwithstanding tiie remonstrance from Turin. The enthusiasm for Garibaldi is unbounded. Garibaldi has chartered six large vessels. His plan is said to be to land in the Gulf of Palermo, and there b% joined by an auxiliary force and march on the Koinau States. An official dispatch in the Turin Gazette says the Garibuldian Volunteers would leave for Messina instead of Palermo. They num ber 300U and are divided into three columns, one conducted by Garibaldi in person. Many of the French journals speak with great anxiety as to Italian affairs and Gari baldi's movements. The Opinione Natiouale deplores the fatal hesitation which makes the French government shrink from the necessary solution, viz: The withdrawal of the Freuch troops from Kome. General Orders.
