The linttle of South Mountain. The battle of South Mountain, which took place on Sunday, Sept. 14th, was the first of the series of I tattles now' beiug reported, and seems to have been a sanguinary conflict. From a correspondent of the New York Times, writing from the fluid of strife at the close of the battle, we copy the follow ing jtartieulars: The rebel position was on the sides and sum mit of the Blue ltidge Mountains, on each side of the (Jap, known as Frog Gap,til rough which the main road on the turnpike, from Middle town to Hagerstown, passes. The gap is dis tant from Middletown about three miles, and from Frederick tw elve miles. The mountains in tile vicinity of the gap are steep and rugged, ami rendered difficult to ascend, unless by the ordinary thoroughfares, on account of numer ous ledges and loose rocks which afford no per manent foothold. From base to top they are covered witli a thick wood,thereby giving pro tection to the party in possession, and making tile progress of the attacking force doubly haz ardous. The early position of the Union army, or where the line of battle was first formed, was on a piece of rising ground on the right and left of the main road between Bolivar and the mountains. The nearer we approached the mountains the more successfully could the en emy bring his artillery to bear upon our col linius. No matter what position we held, the Blue Ridge mountains commanded that posi tion. It will be observed at once that the en emy had a formidable ground of defence and nothing but undaunted courage wrested it from them. The first division to enter the field on our side was Cox’s of Reuo’s corps. Next came the Pennsylvania Reserve Corps,Ricketts' ami King's divisions, under command of the gal lant and brave Hooker. We hail batteries sta tioned on botlt wings, but at no one time was there over ten or twelve pieces in practice. Tlte enemy’s force is supposed to have amounted to about 40, men. He probably used twelve pieces of cannon. Tlte force of Gen. Longstrcet and Ur. Hill were engaged. The battle commenced with artillery .at 7 P. M., Robertson's U. S. Battery of four light field pieces firing the first shot. Tlte firing was continued for over an hour, but tlte ene my did not respond until Cox’s division ap peared in tlte main road, advancing to take a position. Two pieces stationed in tlte gap were then opened upon tlte column. The troops, however, turned into a field at the left of the road, and got out of harm's way la-fore any iujurics were effected. Here they remain ed in line of battle for an hour and a half. In the mean time the enemy's )>osition having been discovered, Robertson directed the fire of his pieces to the gap. Soon after the rebels ojiened another battery at the right of the gap, and subsequently still another battery at the left. It was theu evident that the rebels in tended to make a vigorous stand on that moun tain. Since the preceding day they had brought up extra pieces of cannou, for as la-fore stated, they had used but three, at the most, In the skirmishes during the week. The enemy was now firing from nine pieces, consequently, to make a vigorous reply, Hayne’s U. S. Bat tery of six pieces moved up to the left to the assistance of Robertson. Three times during the day the rebels were forced to change the position of their pieces, and late in the afternoon their guns were silent altogether. By 11 o’clock Cox’s division had arrived at tin- woods, and a few miuutcs later had enter led for the purpose ol getting round the euc At this juncture Generals McClellan and Burnside, with their staffs,rode upon the field, where they remained during the continuance of the battle. Cook's Battery took a favorable position for shelling the woods in advance of the division, but had hardly got to work when the rebels fired a tremendous volley of musketry at the cannnniers. This was repeated several times in quick succession, until at length the cannon iers abandoned their pieces, and ran to the rear, leaving four or five or their comrades dead upon the ground. The drivers of the caissons also partook of the panic, and dashed headlong through the ranks of Cox’s Division, Which was drawn up in line of battle a few yards in the rear. Two companies of cavalry regiment, which were supporting Lite battery, also galloped through the line of infantry, thus leaving four pieces of artillery (the other two having been detached to another part of the field) to fall into the hands of the enemy. The event caused temporary, and only temporary confusion among the troops. They quickly straightened the line, and prepared to resi.-t a deiuoustiation observable on the part of tile enemy, to seize the abandoned pieces. The rebels marched forward to secure their antiei pated prize, and at the same moment the 23d Ohio, and 100th Pennsylvania Bcgimento, ad vanced in splendid order to repulse them.— Tlie rebels had approached to within about ten feet ol the guns when the contest com menced. Each side seemed desperate in its purpose, and the struggle was most exciting. At length the 45th New York came to tint res cue, and turned the tide of fortune in our fa vor. Both parties suffered severely in the ac tion. The rebels retreated in great confusion, while our men made the woods resound with cheers. For the succeeding two hours the infantry under the command ol' Keno ceased opera tions, and the artillery alone continued the du el. The guns used thus far were 0, 10, and 12 pounders.. Simmons’ Ohio battery of four 20 pounder pieces, was now placed in position on the lelt, and commenced throwing shells to the right of the Gap, at which point the rebels had again stationed a battery. The firing for a while was exceedingly animated, hut the 20 pounders proved too much for the rebels, and they were compelled, in the course of half an hour, to change the position of their guns At the expiration of llie next half hour their guns were silenced. At 2 P. M. the head of Gen. Hooker’s col Hum appeared. coining up the turnpike, to re inforce Reno. The column took the road liranehing oil' from the turnpike to the right, near Bolivar, and proceeded to the foot of the mountains. All along the line the utmost et thusiosin was manifested for Hooker. At .1 1*. M. the line of battle from rigid to left was formed in the following order, near tlie base of the mountains on the right, and at the edge of a piece ol woods on the mountain slope at tlie left: The first brigade of Kickett's division on tlie extreme right, which was about one mile north of the turnpike; tlie Pennsyl vania Reserve Corps, the right resting on Rick ett s left; the Second Regiment U. S. Sharp shooters on tile road brandling off from the turnpike on the right; the second aud third brigades of Rickett’s division between the branch road aud the turnpike; King’s division (commanded by Gen. Hatch) at the left of tlie turnpike, tlie right resting on the turnpike;— Oen. Reno's force ou tlie extreme left, about a m le and a half from the turnpike. The 0th United States, 8th Illinois, 8th, .‘hi, and 12th Pennsylvania, tith New York, 8d In diana, and 1st Massachusetts Cavalry Regi ments, were on different portions of the field, performing picket duty, ac ting as guards to the roads, and supporting the batteries. About one hundred yards in the rear of tlie Pennsylvania Reserve Corps, was stationed CapL Cooper’s 1st Penn. Battery, of four pieces; C'apt. Ransom’s, Co. G., Fifth United Slates Battery, of four pieces, took a position at tlie extreme right, in tlie rear of tlie First Bridade of Rickett’s Division. Immediately after tlie line of battle was formed, the right and left centre commenced moving simultaneously toward tlie enemy on the slope of tlie mountains. Tlie rebels o|»eiicd on the column with two pieces of can non, directing the fire of one to the right, aud of the other to tlie left of tlie line. They were replied to by one of Simmons’ 20 pounders on the left, and Cooper's Battery on our right.— The enemy continued tlie firing for upward of an hour, when on account of the severe pun ishment he. was receiving from our guns, and the near approach of our infantry to his plac es, he disapi>carcd ou the other side of the mountain. The enemy’s shells for tlie most part went over tlie i uiou troops, consequently they did not effect much damage. Sf4*.nlilv BllU'.'iril n'on) /Mir line of infantry, until the right wing had gain ed a piece of woods on the mountain, a short distance from the base, w hen the Bucktails, who were skirmishing on the right, discovered the enemy's pickets. A desultory rattling of musketry was next heard, which’indicated the commencement ol the battle oil the part of tin infantry. The column from right to left still remained unbroken, mid advanced cautiously but firmly up the steep. Iu a short time the enemy's main force was encountered, and then came heavy volleys of musketry on tin- ri'riit The P •nnsylvania Reserve Corps and tin- First Brigade of Ricketts’ Divi-ion were now hotly engaging the enemy. The rebels stood their ground for a whlle.lmt after a contest of thirty minutes they wavered and commenced falling hack in disorder toward the summit of the mountains. Our forces pushed them vigor ously. and kept up a continuous lire. The valor displayed on this occasion by the Pennsylvania Reserves, and the corps former ly under the command of McDowell, is deserv ing of the highest praise. Notastraggler could Is1 seen on the Held. Kvery man was at his post in a line. (Jen. Hooker, accompanied by his stair, was where he always is on such oc casions—at the front. The line did not give way for an instant, but kept moving forward and upward .pouring volley after volley of mus ketry into the enemy’s ranks, until at last the rebels broke and rah 'precipitately to the top of the mountain—thence down on the other side. _ Reno’s corps on the left did its part nobly. Tile men were called upon to do some severe fighting, and they performed their duty w itli a will and heroism seldom before displayed. The engagement on the left succeeded that on the right, and lasted about an hour and a hall. The enemy contested every foot of ground, but eventually yielded it to the compierors. The centre column was the last to entno in to action. Tlie same success that marked the advance of the two wings also attended the centre. At HP. M.. after an engagement of three hours’ duration, t he rebels fled, leaving the top of the mountain in tin; possession of the Union troops. Darkness prevented us from pursuing the enemy further at the time. 1 estimate that two thousand will cover the list of our casualties. 1 think the enemy’s loss in killed and wounded will not exceed our own. Altogether we captured three thousand prisoners. (Jen. Reno was killed on tiie field of battle. At the time of the calamity he was observing, by aid of a glass, the enemy’s movements. He was struck in the spine by a musket hall—the hall lodging in the breast. Fall P-Oylem FOR GEXTEE.UEVS DRESS HATS, WITH THK PATENT KUASTIC CUSHION, -sow ores AT PEBBY’8, No. 151 Middle Street.

Saturday Morning, Sept. 20,1S62. Slate or Maine, Executive Dkpartmext, I Augusta, August 20,18(2.1 AN adjourned session of the Executive osted up in the hotels an nouncing the routing of the rebels from Mary land soil. The engagement has been general. Hooker, Reno, Burnsides and Franklin's corps have been at work. Gen. Reno is killed, lie was a very good officer. Franklin has been hotly engaged for some time, and has succeded in driving the enemy, whose loss is immense, but how much 1 am unable to learn. 1 have been somewhat indisposed for some days past, but did not wish to leave until something new took place. I have endeavored to learn some thing from the Maine troops, but as yet am un able to learn anything from them .only that they were in the engagement—that is, the 5th, Olh and 7th. and probably the 10th. I leave in the morning for the field of action, which is about forty miles distant from here. Conveyance has been offered me in the regimental wagon of the 7th, which has been here a few days to be repaiied. I consider it my duty to push forward and render such assistance to our troops as lays within my power. I presume you Will receive the condition of the regiments ere this reaches you. It is very pleasing to disserve the different countenances. The Union men are easily dis tinguished by greeting smiles that meet you on every side. Mutual congratulations are everywhere exchanged amoung the Union loving men. All seem to be clothed with cheerfulness. Just now the third dispatch from General McClellan has announced that the rebels were retreating in a panic. This causes unalloyed satisfaction. Tile long and dark days that have been upon us give place to more cheerful hours. Sad as is the thought of so many brave men going down to death on the battle field, it is nevertheless a eaus j for thanks that the right will prevail. I can but hope that the dark days are past, and that bright sunshine aud hope will continually light up the pathway of loyalty, until the Union will be acknowledged by all. I have visited the Hospitals in Washington and Georgetown, and find much complaint from the patients on account of their diet, which is very poor, ami not adapted to the taste of the sick. In most of the hospitals there seems to be a seeming uegleet in rela tion to food, and so far as my observation ex tends, it arises from indi(Terence of tlie sur geons in charge. Armory Square Hospital is an exception. It is the best arranged, the neatest and the best conducted hospital in the city. It is cheering to see how the counten ances of the sick light up when they find one uuo v-iim u »u nvv nun ui> on uuiii^, uc. A have not the names of the Muiue soldiers.— Parties who are visiting them have promised to furnish me with them, which, if I obtain, I will send you. It has not been so much my object to obtain the names of the patients, but to observe the general condition oi the hospi tals, and also the men. I will favor you with a list of tlie hospitals in Washington, George town and Alexandria: Georgetown. Union Hotel, Water St Warehouse. Seminary, Washington. Armory Square.

The question will be asked, is the cure perma nent, or only temporary I answer that 1 have treated some twenty-five or thirty cases, some of which were severe and of long standing,and in no instance has the disease reappeared. I first administered the gas for this disease to the daughter of Dr. Allen, a distinguished physician of Springfield, Mass. She had suffer ed for six months, and appeared to be in as much pain as one could be, at the time she breathed it. To my surprise, instant relief was afforded. Dr. Allen writes me, under date of Aug. 25th 1S62. “1 am happy to say to you that theiuhalingof the Exhilarating or Nitrous Oxide Gas administered by you to my daugh ter, for severe neuralgia in the face and head, has proved a perfect success; not the slight est return of the symptom has been present In her case since inhaling it, (now nearly three months.) when instantaneous relief was afford ed. As to any injurious effects resulting from it, 1 have not the slightest apprehension; on the contrary, I believe ils use in cases similar to that of my daughter, as well as in cases of extreme vital prostration, may be attended with the happiest results.” 1 believe this was the first instance in which the gas was ever administered lor neuralgia. Another more striking case, on account the age of the patient—fifty-five,—and the length of time the disease had existed—three years— was that of Mrs. Brown of Salem, Mass. Her son, Mr. Samuel Brown, writes me—“She has been a great sufferer for more than three years past, and for the last six months the neuralgic pains have been so severe and constant, that she has not enjoyed a single night's sleep—on ly getting an hour's sleep at a time. On the 2tlth of August, when you administered to her two doses ofthc Nitrous Oxide, she was in stantly relieved of pain; immediately she drop od into a profound sleep That was her first entire night's sleep since last spring. Since then she has not had the slightest return of the disease, and we think she will soon recover her usual strength.” Why does the gas produce such effects The nitrous oxide differs from atmospheric air only in containing more oxygen—more of the vitalizing property of the air. In the air we have afiftli oxygen—in the nitrous oxide a third. The effect of breathing it, is that it oxiginizes the blood with very great rapidity—so much so that the blood flows through the circulation in this highly organized state, at the rate of 200pulaation* in a minute. Almost all dis eases originate in and are caused by uuoxigen ized blood. Remove the cause of the disease, by oxigenizing the blood^tud the disease disap pr.ti.w. i utr. Ain is Luts jinnimuT »iki preserver of health; as it is the great agent which nature furnishes for the removal of dis ease. Oxygen is the only life giving part ol the air, and only oue-tlftli of the air is compos ed of it. Now the blood and the nerves are intimate ly connected. The healthful action of the nerves, depends on the regular and healthful flow of blood. If you only partially stop the circulation of the blood, as is done by crossing the limits, and thus pressing the artery, the foot “goes tosleep,”as we say.—in other words, tile action of the nerves i» suspended. Ite movc the limb and allow the blood to flow with its accustomed rapidity, and the foot will wake tip—a prickling seusati on will be experienced. This is merely the result ol the passage of the blood over the ends of the nerves, and proves the intimate connection between them. Now when a person breathes the nitrous oxide, the blood is greatly accelerated in its circu lation, and being in a more highly oxigenized or purified condition, produces the same prick ling sensation, (though not totlie same degree) through all the extremities. It seems to rouse and renovate every sluinliering power in the body. It is the same remedy which nature supplies, only more of it. If people would eat less, and breathe more oxygen, they would have no disease. By eat ing too much, we accumulate more blood than one-filth part of the air can oxigeuize—lienee the accumulation of tinoxigeuizcd blood and consequent disease. If nature Imil intended that we should pamper our appetites and eat twice as much food as health requiresatn extra quantity of oxygen would have been put into the air, so tiiat the carbon of the blood might be balanced by the oxygen. It is by the union of the oxygen of the air, with the carbon of the blood in the lungs, that the animal heat is kept tip to US. In Iceland there is a large quantity of oxygen in the air, so that the inhabitants can eat live or six pounds of clear oil (carbon) at a single meal. The union of this with tile oxygen of the air. preserves the animal heat at ttb, and there is no accumulation of unoxigen ized blood. Under the Equator, the people are compelled to live on fruits (containing lit tle carbon) because there is so little oxygen in the air, and the climate is so enervating. If they were to eat animal food, the blood could not be oxigenized^uid fever would follow Nature is on the side of health, and supplies wholesome food and pure air. While we vio late the laws of health, and accumulate more wiwu mail me an uui UAi^iuia’, UlH’asP IOI lows. Tlic Nitrous Oxide contains more of the vitalizing, the purifying principle of the air, and balances the extra quantity of carbon or unoxigenized blood which we accumulate: I have administered the gas for neuralgia, rheu matism, partial paralysis, asthma, consumption and headache w ith the most beneficial results; j and I believe the time is not far distant when this remedy will lie used by the medical pro fessor, as one of the most powerful medical agents for the cure of disease. I do not say I can cure consumption when it becomes seated, but I do say that the gas will open every air cell that ran be opened, and start the mucus, so that the patient will raise freely. In this way the disease may la: arrested, and nature enabled to rally. This has been fully demon strated by experiment. The remedy is simple is never injurious, and produces the most de lightful sensations while it lasts. During my stay in Portland, I will administer the gas for the cure of disease, either at the new City Hall, or the United Slates Hotel, for 50 cents the dose. Respectfully, G. Q. Colton.

The following are extracts from a conversa tion which the editor of the Baltimore Ameri can had on Friday last, with a gentleman who had just arrived from Frederick, where he had been during four days of the period it was oc- copied by Bradley Johnson and his followers: Q. What is the number of the rebels A. It would be impossible to say. They i are, however, in large force, I should suppose not less than 70,000 men, though they claim to be over 100.000. One of the most intelligent of them told me that nearly the whole force who fought Pope are with them. Q. Did they obtain many recruits in Fred erick A. Not many from Frederick, but there was about live hundred came from Baltimore,Anne Arundel, Montgomery ami Carroll counties, and some from Baltimore city. After seeing the character of the army and the life which the men led, many of them refused to join,and were getting home again. When leaving my self, 1 met six young men from Carroll county, and piloted them to Westminster. They ac knowledged that they had been tp Frederick to join the army, but after, “seeing and smell ing" it, had concluded to return home. They begged me not to give their names. What did they mean by smelling? A. They meant exactly what they said. I have never seen a mass of such filthy, strong smelling men. Three of them in a room would make it unbearable, and when marching in col umn along the streets the smell from them was most offensive. There are some of the better class of men among them, but the great mass are men of the lowest caste, and although under strict discipline, the tilth that pervades them is most remarkable. Their sympathiz ers at Frederick have been greatly disappoint ed in the character of the army, and most of them arc now as anxious for them to disappear as they were for them to come. Their coming to Frederick has l>ecn a sad visitation to the middling classes, many ol whom have lost everything in exchange for rebel scrip, es pecially the storekeepers. They have no uni forms, but arc wadi armed and ecpiipped, and have become so inured to hardships that they care but little for any of the comlorts of civil ization. (j. What wais the general appearance of the rebel soldiers A. They were the roughest looking set of creatures 1 ever saw, their features, hair, and clothing matted with dirt and filth, and the scratching they kept up gave warrant of ver ir"i in abundance. The secession ladies of Frederick used to call the troops of Gen. Banks “nasty, dirty creatures," and the Union ists had adopted a species of signs to remind them of their old taunts. Whenever a Union ist met a secessionist in the street he would commence to scratch, which all understood. i). What do you think of the pur|K>se of the rebel army A. They admit that their coming into Mary land was a question of starvation or food. They were almost famished for food when they reached the Potomac, and say that for three days they had lived principally on green corn and apples. Q. But what is their purpose now? A. They are in full force, and undoubtedly i proposed w hen they crossed the river to meet ti 1 *isits* nnd Kpri'p him jw thi*v did on tin* other side of the river, and rapture Washing ton. But when they heard that Gen. McClel lan was before them In full command they be came more cautious in their movements. Q. What is their opinion of (ten. McClellan? A. They respect him and fear him. In fact they laugh at Pope and McDowell, and say that they advance on them with the fullest j confidence of defeating them and destroying 1 their army. Had they found Pope in command on tlie Maryland side they think they would have been in Washington in a few days. Cnhoon .Manufacturing Company. A year or two since, Mr. Charles W. Ca hoon. of this city, invented a burner for small kerosene lamps, that could be carried about the house. Subsequently lie made another improvement in the burner, in which, by means of a lever, the removing tlie chimney of the lamp, for the purpose of lighting it, was avoided. As soon as these burners were in troduced to the public, they became extreme ly popular, and so great was the demand lor them that a large manufactory was establish ed iu the Clapp Block on federal street, in I this city, and another in Waterbury, Connec ticut. The establishment in this city is well worth a visit. There arc three departments. The first is where they cut out tlie various parts of the burner; tlie second where the parts are soldered together; and the third where the la kering is done. .Small as is this burner, it requires fifty different operations to perfect it, and each operation has its s|>ceiul hands for tlie service. Go into tlie manufactory and you will see one gang of hands employed in cutting out tlie caps, which is done by dies; others are engaged in preparing tlie levers for the chiuinies; others in fixiug the screws; oth ers in soldering, some one part ami some an other, so that everything goes on like clock work. In tlie manufactory here, upwards of one hundred persons are emplbyed, seventy-live of whom are females. The females, by means of blow-pipes, do a large portion of the soldering, and put the various portions of the burner to gether. In tlie lackering department men are principally employed. The manufactory here turns out about two hundred dozen burners a day. That at Wa terbary, working about one hundred and filly hands, turns out three hundred dozen per day. And yet, such Is the demand for this useful article, that tlie capacity of these two estab lishments cannot supply the calls made for it. Orders from abroad are pouring in, and by the lastr steame for Europe four hundred doz ens went out to answer an order from Lon don. At tlie time the Argnnd oil lamps— which nobody uses now—was in triumph, it was then thought to be tlie ne plus ultra of perfection for burning oil. But this invention is not to he compared with that of Mr. Ga boon's, whereby a soft anil brilliant light is ob tained at a very small expense. We are glad j to learn that he is reaping the fruits of his labor. Mr. Gaboon has recently been granted a patent for improvement iu lamps. Letter from a Maine Cavalry Officer. The following letter, written by Lieut. John H. Goddard, Co. E, 1st Maine cavalry, to his j brother-in-law, Rev. A. F. Beard of Bath, we I are [icrmitted to copy: Bkookvii.le, Md., Sept. 10, 1802. I have received several communications from you, but have not been allowed time by one “Mr. Jackson" to answer them. We have had nothing lor the past two weeks but "re treat”—lighting only when we were forced to, and getting "badly whipped” every time. Jackson, with 05,000 men, w hipped McDow ell, with 100,000 of oar best troops, at Bull Run, in two hours. Is it not time that such j men were laid aside. We are now marching slowly towards Fred 1 crick to attack Jackson. We have an im j mcnsc force under McClellan and Burnside, ami we arc now going to wipe oat our talc disgraceful defeats, in one glorious victory. It is a sure thing. We know that McClellan j can lead us, and we will follow him to the last man. 1 have lost throe men: Privates Burgess, Bailey and Faulkner. I think they are pri soners. lit great haste, John II.

At the close of the serv ices, as the story goes, he was confronted and assailed by that somewhat notorious gentle man of Fort Layfnyctte experience and another citizen of the place, recently a Custom House officer, by whom he was most grossly Insulted, charged w ith shamefully desecrating the temple of religion, and otherwise abusive I ly treated. Such is the story in brief, its relat ed to us by gentlemen of veracity; but if the slightest injustice is done to any one by it pub lication, our columns will remain open for cor rection. Camp Pedlers. We have a law, restricting “Pedlers"—it was intended to protect the public against a class of unprincipled sharpers, who did roam over the state, and also to prevent unjust in terference with the established traders. And it has had a salutary effect upon community Recently, both the State law and the common courtesy of trade have been violated, by a swarm of pedlers, that have intruded them selves and forced their trinkets and shop-worn goods upon our soldiers. And it is to be re gretted that some traders of apparent respect ability, have sent their clerks or agents into the camps, to compete with these roving ped dlers It is to bo hoped, that the “command ants” of the Camps now quartered in several parts of the State, will not permit their camp grounds to be used as places of unlicensed traf fic. Especially as the regular traders of the cities and towns, in the neighborhood of the camps, are cheerfully contributing to raise and maintain our volunteers,and paying to Govern ment the new tax required of all traders. It would be far better for our soldiers to be al lowed to come into the city and have the ben efit of honorable competition. jy* The Rockland Democrat says “the men who have run away to escape a draft are not worthy to have the privileges of citizen ship, and we trust that measures will be taken to strip them of such rights.

MATTERS ABOUT TOWN. Municipal Court—Sept. 10. Richard McCluskey. a lad about 11 years of age, was brought up on a complaint made by Truant officer Cole, that the lad was an habit ual truant. He was sentenced to the Reform School during his minority. Organization of the 2.1th nnd 27th Maine Regime nts. The 25th Maiue regiment was organized yesterday afternoon, at Camp Abraham Lin coln. Col. John Lynch presided and the fol lowing officers were elected: Francis Fessenden, Portland, Colonel. Charles E. Shaw, Lt. Colonel. Alexander M. Tolman, Major. Wc think this regiment has been peculiarly felicitous in its selection of officers. Col. Fes sendeu is Captain of the 12th U. S. Infantry, and has smelt and felt powder during the war. He was wounded at the battle of Shiloh. He is a son of Senator Fessenden. Lt Col. Shaw lias been on the staff of Major General Virgin for some time, and was elected Captain of Co. A, Portland Battalion. Major Tolman has been very active in recruiting for the nine months service. He was elected Captain of Co. B, of the Portland Battalion. The election of Lt. Col. Shaw and Major Tolman leaves Co. A, in command of Lieut. Jones, and Co. B, in charge of Lieut Prince. The 27th Regiment was organized by the election of the following—Col. Lynch presid ing: Rufus P. Tapley, Saco. Colonel. Mark F. Wentworth, Kittery, Lt. Colonel. James M. Stone, Kciincbuuk, Major. An election will be held this evening for a Captain of Co. A. Revolving Battery.—Mr. Joel H. Wil liams,of Skowhegan, lias invented a new imple ment of war, which promises to be of the most destructive character. It has had the approv al of Gen. Rodman, Chief of the Ordnance bu reau. Mr. W., yesterday, at the U. S. Hotel, exhibited the instrument to some of our citi zens, and explained all its details nnd move ments. We do not feel authorized to state the principle which governs this revolving battery —we can call it by no other name. Suffice it to say that it will throw from 5,000 to 0,000 balls per minute, and is very easily worked. The danger of over-heated barrels is entirely over come in this piece of ordnauce by a current of air which passes through the barrel as soon as .„i_i _.. mm niiicu tumuiuw, as uie DHra'l revolves until it is in place again for another discharge. The model exhibited by Mr. W. contained six barrels. Loading and capping the chambers is done by persons who gather them up as fast as discharged, and having |s-r formed this duty place them in position for being fired. Thus there can be a continual discharge, without any cessation. The batte ry can be made of almost any size, from one that can be carried on the back of a mule to a heavy piece that would require ten men to attend to it. We understand that Mr. Williams will ex hibit the model to the Governor and Council at their meeting next week, ami we hope that its promised efficiency will induce them to or der some pieces to be made for the use of our Maine regiments. Recruits Arrested.—Two ol the recruits from the town of Eliot, volunteers, were ar rested yesterday afternoon by Deputy Marshal Hawkes, on a charge of girdling a dozen or twenty fruit trees, and setting fire three times to a wood pile very near a dwelling house in that town. The fellows thought that after they had committed these misdemeanors they Would get clear with impunity, by enlisting; but they have found out their mistake. They were delivered to an officer from Eliot and conveyed back to that place yesterday after noon. Presentation.—Sergt Fred. H. Small, Co. A, 1st Portland Battalion, was presented yesterday afternoon with an elegant sword and belt, by the employees of the British and American Express Co., with which institution he has been connected for the last seven years. The testimonial speaks w’ell for the estimation in which our gallant young townsman is held by those who have had the best opportunities for knowing him. The sword Is one of the best, and upon the scabbard, neatly engraved. “Sergt. F. H. Small; from the Employees of the British and American Express Co.” Death ok Capt. Furbish.—The telegraph, Thursday night, announced the death of Capt. Nehemiah T. Furbish, of Co. I, 10th Maine regiment. A private dispatch states that (.'apt. F. fought bravely, and was shot in the fore head. He was alive when taken from the field but died soon after. Capt Furbish was a native of Greene, in this State, but for many years has resided in Portland, where he was respected by all who knew him. He leaves a wife, and a mother who is a widow. His body will be brought here for interment. W“ Dr. Colton gives the last of his after- j noon exhibitions to-day, and, as will be seeu by his advertisement, designs it exclusively for ladies, and children of both sexes. The little folks will have a capital time and all will be gratified, Dr. C. having the rare but happy faculty of iruitructlhy as well as entertaining. On Monday evening another public exhibi tion is to be given, and the programme offered will tlrtuv mil a hiirirnp dpou iI (lion nvor Habpeb’s Magazine.—The October num bei of this popular periodical has been issued. It is rich, both in the reading matter and the illustrations. It has been received at the bookstores of E. C. Audrews, Hall L. Davis and A. Robinson. Exchange Street, and at the periodical depot of NT. Fessenden, corner of Congress and Centre Streets. Accident.—Mr. F. P. Weymouth, in the employ of the Portland Company, while at work yesterday morning in the machine shop, had his left hand caught in some part of the machinery whereby it was severely injured and one Auger severed from the hand. Dr. Lamb dressed the wounds and Mr. W. is quite comfortable. EF" It was the Boston Maine Railroad train Uiat was detained Thursday, one hour and a quarter, and not the train on the lower road. The upper road train got off the track this side of Dover. The lower road train was but a few minutes behind time.

The Enemy in full retreat across the Potomac. liiithiisiasm of our Troops. THE EEBEL LOSS TWO TO OUE ONE. Harrisburg, Sept. 1ft. Information just received from tlie battle Held, says our victory Is complete, and that Gen. Pleasanton is in hot pursuit of the ene my, and driving them across the Potomac. 1 In* whole federal army is in good condi tion, and tlie enemy lias been badly punished. A gentleman from Chambersburg this eve ning, says all the troops stationed there have been sent to Hagerstown and Boonesboro'.— A company from Philadelphia refused to go over tlie line. Gen. Reynolds said they might go home and lie damned, and disgrace would forever rest on their shoulders. After the General's reprimand they finally went over the border. Gov. Curtin is still at Hagerstown. A feeling of perfect security is now felt here in official circles. tjuitc a number of wounded have arrived here and at points oil the Cumberland Valiev Road. The news of Gen. McClellan's great victory achieved to-day, was received with great re joicing. Tlie troops here are urging to be sent for ward, that we yet may rout the enemy, and assist ill the great work of crushing the rebel lion. Travel to Chambersburg and nagerstown was resumed to-day, ami the telegraph is now open to Boonesboro’. Dispatches received from official quarters up to this hour, midnight, from persons who visit ed tlie buttle Held, report tlie rebel loss two to our one. Their dead were left unbnried, and wounded found shelter in barns and woods along the whole route to Williamsport, where the enemy lias no doubt crossed with tlie rem nant of the army. A great amount of ammunition was captur ed, together with a large number of prisoners, which have been sent to Hagerstown. Tlie company tiiat refused to go over tlie line, was from l.ancastcr^ind not Philadelphia, as previously stated. FURTHER ACCOUNT OF THE BATTLE. The Enemy Completely Routed. Philadelphia, Sept 19. Midnight—Forney’s Press has just received highly interesting intelligence from McClel lan's army up to noon to day. which the editor has kindly furnished to the associated press: The substance of its special correspondence is briefly as follows: Early last night the ene my commenced crossing Shepherdstown bridge at two fords above and below it. During tile night McClellan advanced a battery and shelled them from the surrounding hills." The dead and wounded found this morning is evidence of the ability of our signal officers in directing the lire of the guns. On discovering the movement of the enemy, early this morning. Den. Pleasanton was dis patched in hot pursuit with two batteries and two regiments of infantry, through a gap of high hills, and he succeeded in cutting oil' a large amount of their ammunition, supplies, etc., besides a small portiou ot Gen. Maxcey Greg's South Carolina brigade. Pleasanton shelled the enemy with effect as they passed through the ravine. The last seen oi the enemy they were flying in the di rection of Winchester, and it is "supposed they would retreat precipitately on to Kichmond. Our entire army hail crossd Anticlain this morning, and was massed between Antictam Creek and the Potomac opposite Shcpards town, and there was every evidence McClel lan would cross the river. The loss of Generals and Held officers in the army is so large as to be unaccountable. The rebel deserters represent the loss of the ene my’s officers equally severe. it was understood that Burnside has crossed into Virginia via Harper's Ferry, moving on the enemy. Deserters report that the recent movements of the rebels in escaping into Vir ginia, was entirely conducted by Stonewall Jackson. The other chief officers, Lee, Long street, etc., being there wounded, or Usi much fatigued to be efficient. They also state that it was believed in the rebel army that a force of Federal troops had jiassed through Thor oughfare Gap and intercepted their advance and they supposed that this movement was under the direction of Gen. Sigel, of whom they stand in great dread. Surrender of Ulumrordsvillc. Four Thousand Federals taken Prisoners. Louisville, Sept. 19. IIP. M.—There are very many reports in circulation from down the road, the transmis sion whereof by telegraph is prohibited by the military authorities, who, however, entertain the liojie and belief that the preparations now actively consummating, will not only insure the safety of Louisville, but speedily clear Kentucky of her re!>el invaders. At the surrender of Mmnfordsville. on Wed nesday morning, the rebels took about 4.000 prisoners, whom they are reported subsequent ly to have parolled. They also took the 4th Ohio battery of ssx guns, with four other guns in position. There was two or three hours skirmishing on Tues day between the sharpshooters on both sides. The rebels did not attack us in force in tile Sunday’s tight. (Jen. Clemens made an attack on our forces with eleven reiriments on Tues uay night. FROM WASHINGTON. Washington, Sept. 10. The Commissioner of Internal Revenue in variably returns orders and money sent to him for currency stamps, such stamps not being issued from his office. They are procured from the U. S. Treasurer, hut no one need send to him at present, as he is notv supplying the government only. Master Edward Hooker has been promoted to acting volunteer lieutenant, lor gallant con duct during the attack on Washington, X. C., and been ordered to the command of tiie steamer Victoria. Geo. W. Marion and James Pennoyer have been appointed acting assistant surgeons. The following officers have been ordered to the steam-sloop Mohican: Capt. .1. R. Max hard, Lieut. R. R. Buer, Acting Master R. B. Ely, Boatswain G. C. Abbott, Gunner William Arnold. Adjutant General Thomas left Washington to-day for Annapolis, on business connected witli the large number of purolled prisoners now at that station. There is no doubt he will promptly take initiative measures lor their exchange, as he is the commissioner ol the U. S. for that purpose, and lias heretofore so sat isfactorily performed similar service. Brig. Geu. Max Weber has been ordered to report for duty to Major Gen. lJix at Fortress Monroe, and bring Gen. Gilbert, now on duty, w ith tlie army of Kentucky to Gen. Wright at Cincinnati. Col. A. M. Wood, of the Brooklyn 14th, to day received his commission as Collector of inland revenue for the 2d District ol X. York. V lien (lie President made Col.

Run, and bis physician sometime ago pronounced it un wise lor him to take the Held. From California. San Fkancisco, Sept. 18. Xews of the recent great victories produced the most unbounded joy here. A subscription for the relief of our wound ed soldiers has been opened. The subscrip tion of our city alone amounts to alwiut $100, 000. and will probably reach $250,000 within a week. A new line of stages has commenced run ning between San Barnardino, the recently discovered Colorado mines, to accommodate the increased emigration in that direction. THREE DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE. Arrival of the steamship Bornssia oft Cape Knee. Cape Race, Sept. 19. The steamship Bornssia, from Southampton 10th inst., arrived off this point at noon to-day. Steamships Anglo Saxon from Quebec, and Ilansa from New Yorft, arrived out on the 10th. From the uncertainty prevailing about the safety of the Great Eastern, the underwriter’s premiums had gone up to 20 guiueas at Liv erpool. Princes AVales and Alfred have arrived at Brussels. The Archbishop of Canterbury is dead. The Anglo Saxon's news had not the slight est effect on consols, which are uuoted at 93 1-2 a 5-3. La Franca says the unity of Italy is impossi ble, but il realized it would introduce serious perturbation in European order, and all the national powers of France would be compelled to demand compensation from Italy, and change the established territorial limits’ in or der to guarantee herself against several pow erful neighbors. The Paris Pay says that Spain has offered to send a contingent to Mexico, but France would not accept the offer. France will send 30,000 men. On the Paris bourse rentes 09f 115c.

The Turks set tire to the Servian portion of Belgrave. The Prefect's palace was in flames. The Turks fired on the inhabitants. A later telegram says the Montenegrins ac cepted all the conditions offered by Omar Pasha. On account of the state of seige at Naples, the anniversary of tiie entrance of Garibaldi into Naples will not be celebrated. The Lombardy press is unanimous in favor of an amnesty being granted to Garibaldi and his followers. Garibaldi has requested to be allowed to embark on board an English vessel. Neither documents nor money were found at Asper Mononte. Nothing has been decided in regard to Gar ibaldi. His wounds are very serious’. China.—Shanghae is quiet. The ship Phantom, with treasure, was lost on Kuphatas shoals. Japan.—Another attempt has been made to assassinate the British minister at Jeddo.— The attempt was instigated by the leading damios.

The St. Paul Pioneer and Democrat of the l»ith inst., contains a letter from Little Crow, chief of the Sioux, to Col. Sibley, in which he Bays he wants to know in what way he can make peace. He also says that the white pris oner* in his possession arc as well treated as his own people. Letters from the Sioux chiefs Wabashowa and Tropi are of a friendly character, and de nounce Little Crow as the cause of all the dif ficulties. It is evident that the Sioux are much divided and quarreling among them selves. Col. Sibley requests Little Crow to give up his prisoners, and tells Wnhashawa and Tropi that he will meet them and their friends in open day, and adds: J am power fid enough to crush all who attempt to op|>ose my march, and to punish those who have washed their hands in innocent blood.” The Pioneer of the. 18th inst., says that the Chippewa embassy have returned, and that they successfully settled all questions of dis pute, and left the Indians in a more cordial and friendly state of mind than has existed in many years. Nearly all the chiefs were pres ent and signed a treaty of |>cr|>ctual friendship with Crow Wing on the 15th inst., whereupon the whole band prepared to leave for their homes, all satisfied. Holc-iu-the-Day promis es to disperse his men. Great Fire in Buffalo. Buffalo, N. Y., Sept. 19. At 10 o’clock this forenoon a fire boke out in the brick building on the corner of Water and Norton streets. It was used ils a grain dry ing house. The lire spread rapidly to the Evan* A Sterling elevators, which, with their contents, were destroyed. The fire then cross ed Norton street, communicating to Bell's foundry, Clein A Dobson’s pump and block factory, and a number of tenement houses on Evans, Fly A Seconlalenx streets, all of which w en- burned. Crossing the Evans ship canal, the fire spread to Evan's office anil ware houses. In the warehouses were stored be tween 20,000 and 30,(KM) barrels of whiskey and high wines, owned by Mr. Williams, the larger portion of which were saved. David Bell’s loss is estimated at from $50.(XM) to $70, 000. The loss of Evans is unknown, but is mostly covered by insurance. It is im|>ossi ble at present to give anything approximating to the amount of the loss or insurance. The loss will probably reach $500,000. Some thirty or forty buildings are destroyed. The eleva tors contained 13,272 bushels of wheat, 140, 000 bushels of corn and 28,800 bushels of oats. Official Report. HEADqt’AItTEKS AliMY OF POTOMAC, I Friday Morning, .Sept. 19,1802. Yesterday was occupied in burying the dead and caring for the wounded. The rebels sent in a Hag of truce in the morning, asking per mission to bury their own dead, which w as granted. At first the orders were very strin gent against holding intercourse with the reb els, but during the afternoon they were re laxed, and the troops of both sides freely in termingled. The following is a list of some of the killed and wounded: Brig. Gen. Hodman, com manding a brigade in Maj. Gen. Burnside’s di vision, wounded; Col. Stear, of the 4th It. 1. regiment, wounded in the hip. At daylight this morning it was discovered that the enemy iiad changed his position.— Whether their whole force has crossed the riv er. or taken a new nosition nearer the river is not known at present. Had the rebels re mained, a general engagement between both armies w ould have taken place this morning. A Caution to Newspapers. Washington, September 19. Headquarters of the Army—Circular—Maj. Gen. Foster, commanding the department of North Carolina, has called attention to an ar- i tide of tin- New York Evening I’ost of Sept, t 14, in which is published the numbers and posi- I lions ol his troops. He remarks that the New York papers always reach the enemy in a few days alter publication, and that such informa tion from our friends is more injurious than that gained by the rebel spies. The newspaper press is earnestly requested to make no publi cation in regord to the number and move ments of our troops. No information could be more desirable to* the enemy than this.— Such publications have done much injury to our cause. (Signed) H. W. Haixeck. General-in-Chief. Town of Prentice Burned.

Editors:—Perhaps a few lines from this place may not tie altogether uninteresting to you, or to the readers of your most excel lent paper, the Portland Press. A number of copies of the paper are taken here, and as far as we know, it is universally admired; but to the subject of our communication. Last Sabbath was rather an eventful day to the worshipers at the Brown-house, so called, in this place. Many of the people who wor ship in said house doubtless design to tie spir itual worshipers, hence they wantonly the gos pel preached to them, they do not wish to hear politics,tear, or any thing else but the goigyrt; well it so happened last Sabbath that the Rev. Mr. Boardman of Pownal,occupied the desk in the Brown-house, and either not knowing the character of his congregation or mistaking his subject for the gospel, or for some other reason, or reasons, preached in the afternoon a sermon for the times, what one of his hearers called a lynch law sermon, but what would simply pass for a war sermon. Now judge you of the speakers consternation when as he was froceed ing with his discourse as he would in his own desk at home, one after another arose and left the house, and many of them, from their hurry and bustle and their blood mantled cheeks, showing unmistakeable signs that they were not faint, until, as it is said, the entire au dience—deacon and all—with the exception of some three men beside the minister had dis appeared. But the surprise did not cause him to discontinue his discourse, for the good par son, doubtless feeling a clear conscience prece ded to tlie end of his discourse. Now Messrs Editors there are many of us here who arc right glad that the Rev. Mr. Boardman preached as he did; and now that the ice is broken we trust that the Rev. gentleman who has recently come among us will do his whole duty to his flock, for it is notorious that some of his hearers are any thing but union men at heart. Should this alone meet the eye of the Rev. Mr. Boardman he will take notice that that sermon was appreciated by aome who were not present. W. Another Escape.—Mr. Farwell’s Kenne liunk .Stage very narrowly escaped falling into the Portsmouth river, Thursday morning. The team of three horses lieeatne unmanageable just after passing the draw of Portsmouth Bridg*—probably frightened by the approach ing train—and shied against the bridge, so vi olently as to break the lower rail anil let one forward wheel halt oil' the end of the plank ing. This threw the baggage,etc., otT the top of the stage into the river, and the hind wheel being considerably larger than the front, reach ed against the upper rail, which was new and strong, and prevented further mishap. There were several passengers inside, and had the stage gone over, all must have been lost in the deep surging tide.—[Portsmouth Chronicle. We never undestood the advantage of Inly ing goods on the credit system, till we got the following story from a Wisconsin paper:— ‘To one of the interior villages of this State is a tavern keeper, and in the same place an honest old German blacksmith, of whom the that piniil.iuml Itim tn some iron work, anil paid him the cash for it at the time, but afterwards learning that a neighbor had similar work done "on time” for a less price, lie inquired the reason therefor, and the reply was as follows:—“You see 1 have zo much charge on my book, and I zum times lose zum, and zo when I ’ave goot cash customer, 1 scharge a goot price, but veil I puts it on my book 1 don’t like to scharge zo much, zo if lie no pay, I no lose zo much.” Until within 24 hours that class of peo ple who have been suspected of being secesh sympathizers, encouraged by our previous dis asters, have for the last fortnight Iveen growing more outspoken than usual iu opinions that the Union might as well sue for peace at the hands of Jeff Davis. A correspondent informs us that several gentlemen in this vicinity showed the cloven foot—now as appears prematurely!— who had heretofore been loud talkers for tight. The devil assumes a good many shapes and cloaks but sooner or later he is recognized.— [Boston Journal. Political.—The loyal Democrats of Illi nois denounce the action of the recent State Convention. Gen. McClernand, Judge Scales and Gen. John A. Logan openly repudiate it, and the prospect is that the ticket will receive tlie support only of disloyal Democrats and secesh sympathizers. Tlie North Kennebec Agricultural So ciety will hold its 10th Annual Exhibition, at Waterville, on Tuesday and Wednesday, Oct. 7 and 8. Title society represents one of the best Agricultural and Stock-raising regions of the State, and no doubt the exhibition will be a most attractive one. General McClellan has approved of the sentence of a general court martial, dimissing Second Lieutenant James Whitney, 11th Me. Volunteers, for leaving his company while it was uuder tire at Poplar Hill, near White Oak Swamp, Va., on the afternoon of June 30. Decision Relative to Pensions.— Atty. Gen. Bates lias, in reply to certain queries put to him by the Secretary of the Interior con cerning pension matters, decided that it is Ins opinion that the mother of a deceased soldier is entitled to a pension, whether elie l>e mar ried or be a widow, provided she was depend ent on him for support in whole or in part. The pompous epitaph of a close fisted citizen closed with the follow ing passage of Scripture; “He that giveth to the ]M>or lendeth to the Lord.” “Dat may be so” soliloquized Sambo, “but when dat man died, de Lord didn’t owe ’im a red cent.” £2T“Kev.

SAMI KL PICKARD J A HKZ C. Wple without State interven I tion, and without taxing the producing c asses. To effect this object, and to make the tax equal iu every State, they have passed w hat has been termed ail Ex i else Act. Passing by the fanner, the mechanic, the j fisherman, the luint>cnnaii, and many other pursuits j so essential to our prosperity as a people, this act levies its light contributions upon the wealth, the luxuries, the pleasures, and business of the country. It confines its operation* chiefly to the cith*s. towns and villages, and gathers its revenue* from the chan nels iu which floats the money of the country. It does not tax real estate of any description, nor with a very few exceptions, personal property. The excess ove.* 40 ouiic** of silver spoons or plate, and riding carriages of all descriptions, valueo with the harne assessed, put a value upon it which sliall bring it within tlie act. It may be the onfv opportunity he will ever have to contri bute a dollar for the preservation of his government. The professional man the retail trader w hose units exceed om* thousand dollars tmt vear—the man ufactnrer of anv article the sale* of which exceed six hundred dollars per year—the hotel keeper—the man whose yearly income exceeds six bundled dol lars. and several other employments are to be assessed. It is presumed all such are conversant with the pro visions of this act. 1 would call their attention to sections from six to eleven, inclusive, ami section fifty-eight. These sections impose tin- duty upon every person liable to be as*e«ed for a tax or license, to call imme diately upon the assistant assessor aud make np and sign their several assessments. If they neglect so to do, he is required to increase their tax fifty per cent., ami no discretionary authority is vested in tl»e a-sis tant or the assessor to make any abatement of this amount. See section 11. It will be perceived by a careful examination of those sections, that Congress, relying upon the patri otism of the business men of the country, proceeded upon the hypothesis that every one liable to In* taxed would substantially assess himself, and sign the hills fixing the amount he was to pay. If the act, there fore is coinplitd with, the assistant assessor is but a i recording officer, who receives and properly enters 1 the lists delivered him by the citizen, and his duty in 1 relation to fixing a valuation upon objects liable to taxation, is rather advisory than absolute. In order however to prevent the selfish, the indifferent, or tlie traitorous, from escaping their proper proportions of the public burden. Congress has fixed the penalties for tlieir neglect, prescribed in section11. Having lieeu intrusted by the President with the duty of seeing that these tax lists are properly pre pared, aud seasonable delivered to the collector of this district, I respectfully request all good citizens within it to call immediately ujhvii the assistant asses sor of the assessment district where they reside, and deliver him lists as required In the sixth section of the act. lie will give all persons the necessary in formation to enable them to comply with its provis ions, aud furnish blanks therefor.
