One of the marked events of the month is the rise in the value of gold, as compared with the legal tender currency of the country. At the time of this writing cold is quoted at $132 —that Is, $100 in American gold coin will buy $132 of bank notes, or United States Treasury Notes, either of which pass current in trade, or in the payment of debts at their par value. Any one having $100 iu gold can buy 100 bushels of wheat of a grade quoted iu the market at $1.32 per bushel. Or rice reran, a farmer having 100 bushels of wheat, which in a foreigu market would buy only $100 In gold, and enough more to pay the expenses and profits of export, can sell it for $132 of a cur rency that will pay his debts to the merchant, or on his farm. Again, suppose a London graiu dealer, whose purchases are on the gold basis, desires to procure 10,000 bushels of first grade wbeut. In his own country, or else where in Europe, lie must pay, say $1.50 per bushel, or $15,000. The same grade of wheal Is quoted iu New York at. say $1.00 per bush el. Add 20 cents per bushel for freight, insur ance, and other expenses,and the 10,000 bush-* els of wheat would cost him, delivered ill Lon don, $1,80 per bushel, or $18,000 in all. But his $15,000 sent in gold, or laid out in ex change, would buy in New York $10,800 of the par currency, from which he could pay $18,000 for the 10,000 bushels of wheat, at $1, 60 per bushel, nnd $2,000 lor expenses, and yet save $1,800. The same reasoning applies to other articles of export—flour, corn, provisions, etc. These figures, thougli not representing ex actly the diflerenee in prices, are a fair illus tration of till* effects upon our bread*tuffs, and provision markets, of the recent rise iu the value of gold, as compared with the legel cur rency of this country. The exporting of graiu and provisions has been greatly stimulated, aud shipments abroad have gone up to unpre cedented figures, as detailed iu another article. We are not discussing the advantage or the disadvantage of this disturbance of the cur rency of the country. The country at large is not any richer lvecause a hundred million bushels of wheat are represented by a hun dred and thirty-two million dollars of legal currency, instead of one hundred millon gold dollars, for the real value of the two are the same. The particular point we are here aim ing at, is, to show' that this great advance in gold is insuring to the special benefit of farm ers, even doubly so. First, it has created a greater foreign demand for our produce, as il lustrated above, thus enlarging the market, as well as Increasing the prices. Second, the greater prices larmers receive for their grain, butter, meat, Ac., though not in gold, are in a currency that is legal and acceptable tender in the payment of their debts to merchants, their land debts. The nominal rise, during the past month, of 10 to 20 cents per bushel in wheat, ol $1.20 to $1.30 per barrel In flour, of 8 cents per bushel in corn, of 2 to 4 cents per bushel in oats, of 4 cents per pound in butter, etc., is so much clear gain to farmers, in the payment of debts previously contracted. But the rise in articles which farmers must buy, is nearly equal to the advance iu what they have to sell, and more, on some articles. The advance iu sugar, coffee, cotton, and other cloths, however, is due more to the high tariff, taxes, and other causes growing out of the war, than to the ad vance in gold, nnd nearly the same prices would have prevailed had not farm products however unfavorable others may be affected by the present disturbances in the currency of the country, fanners are clearly the gainers. The practical lesson we would impress upon farmers is, that they should improve the pres ent opportunity to pay off their liabilities, and get upon safe ground. Because their products can Is: sold at higher figures than formerly, they should not increase their outlay by more expensive living, by running in debt for dress, carriages, or for more land. Debts contracted now may have to lie paid W'hen money is of comparatively greater value—when a bushel of grain, or a pound of butter may buy much less money. Better take in sail, and lie ready for any storm that may suddenly come. Stick to the old coat, and hat. and carriage. A cheaper dress will suffice fora year or two.— Patch up the old dwelling, it will keep the fam ily comfortable a year or two longer. Put in a few extra acres, or rather provide for better cultivation for those already planned for. The inflation of the currency may continue a year or two yet. in which case products will con tinue to yield large nominal returns in the market. When they fall, you will need the more of them to sell. A financial pressure must come, when values return to the gold stan dard. The change maybe gradual, and ex tend over yea- s, and not all at once, in a crash and smash. The farmer who is then out of debt, aud can raise from his own soil crops enough to supply his actual necessities—his bread, and home-produced clothing—will lie able to look out serenely upon the financial Storm around him. The summing up of our di-course is: Now is the time for farmers to get out. and keep out of DEBT.—[American Agriculturalist. Gen. Burnside nnd the Army. “Carleton,” the army correspondent of the Boston Journal, writing to that paper from near Gen. Burnside's headquarters Xov. 17th, says: The army is in excellent condition. There is no dissatisfaction among the soldiers at the c hange of commander. There were regrets that McClellan was removed. There was a fee'ing of sadness—or, as I heard it expres-ed by an officer—“There was a big funeralblit the army is just as readv to fight under Burn side as it was under McClellan. Gen. McClel lan has endeared himself to the soldiers by bis quiet patriotic deportment upon his retire ment. There are some who call themselves his friends, who are circulating reports tha' the army is dissatisfied—almost mutinous. I have visited every corps since the change, and know from personal observation that it is a falsehood. The army is patriotic and loyal and the officer, high or low, who attempts to make himself a dictator with the army to sup i port him, will tlnd himself mistaken. The men cheer Burnside as heartily as they did McClellan. His ways please them. You should have seen him last night at Warrenton Junction. He rode up attended by one offi cer and t wo orderlies. McClellan hardly ever I moved without a retinue of his staff and a I squadron of his liody guard. The contrast was noticed by the troops. He was dressed plainly—a warm surtout, a slouched hat, a drinking cup at his side. His horse had a plain equipment. Most lustily the Eleventh and Sixteenth Massachusetts regiments, sta tioued there, cheered him. He thanked them for the kind reception. He feels his responsi bility. The position has fallen to him unsought. People at home, and those public jouruals which are keeping up the outcry about the re moval of McClellan, are weakening General Burnside’s hands. Let him be borne up by their silence as to the action of the President. Let him have every possible aid and help. The change has been made, and it will not lie unmade by any outcry, Gen. Burnside will move upon the enemy. There may be those who would like to see him defeated because their favorite General lias been removed. If there he such they are just as truly traitors as Jetf. Davis and Toombs. There will lie no unnecessary delay of the army. Whether successful or not (Jen. Burn side will engage the enemy as soon as he can get an opportunity. The day for dilly-dally ing lias gone by. The people and the army are determined to know the worst or the best of tlie future. Before many days there must be a great conflict of arms. Let every man stand up to bis post and do his duty in the coining crisis. Let every man at home and in the army hope foi the best and act tor the best and we shall have no worst. Battle Between Negro Troops and Guer rillas. The black regiments organized by Gen. Lane in Kansas have had a light with the reb els. which seems to have been a successful af fair. A correspondent gives the following ac count: ST* I Tr_ i s ..a _ vwiuiuii I' Kimnu iiau a ugiib with guerrillas, commencing on Tuesday last and continuing several days, in which the blacks were victorious. The facts are as fol lows: The rebels under Jackman and Cock rell, occupied and held an island at the head of the Osage river, at the junction of the Ma ri-de-zene and Mill Creek. These two combi ning. form the Osage river, near Butler, Bates county, Missouri. At this point, the secesh keep a large quantity of stock guarded by these guerrillas. Major Hemming, command er of Fort Scott, and provost marshal of South ern Kansas, ordered from Fort Lincoln a de tachment of the colored regiment, (the regi ment stationed at Fort Lincoln.) ldO men from the batalion of colored troops from Sou’hern Kansas, under Capt. Learnan, making 230—all under Capt. Ward, acting commander of the regiment for the time being, the Colonel being absent. Arriving at the island, they found about 400 guerrillas—the blacks took possession of Toot man's house, a noted guerrilla by that name residing there—they surrounded the house and yard by a wall of rails, and named it Fort Africa. The enemy were all mounted, and they made freuent attacks qupon the blacks. The guerrillas were reinforced with 200 men, and the blacks sent to Fort Scott for reinforce ments and ammunition; meanwhile the 230 blacks were lighting the 600 secesh. Up to Thursday night seven blacks were killed and eight wounded, Capt. Crew (white) of Com pany A was killed, and his l>ody brought to Leavenworth yesterday. Lieut. Gardner, (white) the fighting Quaker, so-called, was wounded, making eight killed and nine woun ded on our side, and up to the same time from fifteen to twenty of the guerrillas were killed. The number of wounded is not known to my Informant. On Thursday night, the reinforce ments from Fort Scott catne on the ground, consisting of 150 cavalry and two pieces of ar tillery. The guerrillas immediately commenc ed retreating to the island, and down the river. Thus the first black blood lias been spilled in fighting with the enemies of the Union. 1 have several accounts from the scene of action and they all agree that the blacks fought well —and not a single coward among them; but they were rather hard to handle and keep back, and they bad to be held witli a tight rein, like a pair of young, well fod horses, anx ious to go—and go at the guerrillas 1 The President and titk Pastoral Let ter.—The following reply to the Pastoral Let ter of the House of Bi-hops of the Protestant Episcopal Church of the United States, by order of the President, has been forwarded to the Bight Kev. llisltop Mcllvaine from the Department of Suite, hearing date Oct. 29: Right Rev. and Hear Sir—The copy which you sent to me of the Pastoral Letter of the Bishops of tlie Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America, has been sub tnilted to the President. He Authorizes uie to assure you that he receives with the most grateful satisfaction the evidences which that calm, candid, and earnest paper gives of the loyalty of the very extended religious com munion over which you preside, to the Consti tution and government of the United States. I am further instructed to say that the exposi tion wliichjhe highest ecclesiastical authority of that communion lias given in the Pastoral Letter, of tlie intimate connection which ex ists between fervent patriotism and true Christianity, seems to the President equally seasonable and unanswerable. Earnestly in voking the Divine blessing equally upon our religious snd civil institutions, that they may altogether safely resist the storm of faction, and continue hereafter, as heretofore, to sus tain and invigorate eaclt other, and %o promote the common welfare of mankind, I have the honor to be, Kight ltev. and dear sir, faithfully yours, William II. Seward.

T\TO Organs of the human system are more irapor tant to health and comfort thau the Eye and Ear, aud yet none arc less understood or more neg lected. They seem to pass even common observation, and yet every part of the body is dependent upon them for life and health. Poor Richard'* Eye and Ear Water Is a new aud rare discovery, which is most wonder ful in its operations, putting to blush the old systems of treatment, which have quite as often done harm as good. Below we give the certificate of Rev. P. S. Henson. Pastor of the Broad Street Baptist Church, Philadelphia. If any one has doubts as to the value of this remedy, they may learn more of its practical value by addressing a note of inquiry to Mr. II. Philadelphia, Oct. 17,1862. From injuries received in my right eye, when a boy, a chronic inflammation bad been produced, in consequence of which I suffered constant martyr dom. Every moment of my waking life was embit tered, and I was frequently unable to sleep at nigbt. A variety of remedies had been resorted to with out success, and I entertained the purpose, as a last resort, of having the ball taken out of its socket, in the hope of thus findiug relief. In the meantime, most providentially, I noticed one day in a shop window a bottle of POOR RICH ARD’S EYE WATER. 1 bad never heard Ai it be fore, but determined to try it, and did, with the most delightful results. In a very few days the painful irritation was removed: I could boar the strongest light, and went forth to the enjoyment of a new life. 1 now keep a bottle of it always in the house, and if my eye seems at all disposed to annoy me, I give it a dose, and that is an end of it. I would not bo with out it for any amount of money. I take occasion to say, further, that my wife used to suffer severely at times from protracted pain in and over her eye-, and she has found Poor Richard Eye Water a sov ereign specific in her case, giving her almost instant relief. Grateful to God for the benefit that I have personally received, I cannot but commend the prep aration to all who have been sufferers like myself. P. 8. HENSON, Pastor of Broad Street Baptist Church.

THE DAILY PRESS. POBTLANB, MAINE. Monday Morning, Nov. 24, 1862, The Portland Daily Press has the largest regular circulation of any daily paper in the eity) s Oltheii long heated mysteries. In ether's purple night This prescient e)e discerns new worlds of light, Dropping like jewels from the Hand of God, The crystal flood Like an imprisoned Titan writhes and toils W itti vaporous breath and thunderous turmoils, Fulfilling his behest on sea and land. Man’s will and power coerce The electric forces of the Universe, That, like invisible couriers, bear His secrets thro’ the palpitating air— O’er wastes, and mounts and moors, Through ocean’s emerald corridors, Boundless and graisd! The sun, with quenchless splendors fraught, Centre of worids; his patient limner, stands, Sketching with matchless grace The human form aud face, And scenic majesty of unseen lands. Ah, nameless miracles hath Science wrought. Since they were one, iu name and life and thought VII. When they were wed. hand joined hand, To shield from foreign foe, our native land. Northmen and Southrons vied To guard the country c aimed with loyal pride, And note they stand arrayed Wielding the keen edged battle-blade Brothers and foes! God grant them life to see The eusauguined conflict close, Triumphantly! To swell the paean of proud victory. When Northern might transcends The unhallowed purpose and the infamous ends Of treason aud base perfidy! VII. Blessings on Bride-grooin and on Bride! Children and childrens’ chiidreu far away, With sacred gladness celebrate this day! Here, children, aud their chiidreu bring Their gifts, a gratefuEpffering, With filial love and pride. Henceforth for them, may every lingering year Be golden time! God's love enfold them, like an atmosphere— His smile enrich life’s close With opulent splendor leading to repose Eternal and sublime! E. Amanda Simonton Paob. San Franciacv, Cal, Oct. 20. 1862. Correspondence of the Press. From the Maine 20th. Camp Near Warrexton, Va., I Nov. 17, 1862. Editors of Press:—When the advance of this army of the Potomac began the Maine Twentieth was at Antietam Ford. We re ceived marching orders on Thursday P. M., Oct. 30. Six companies were out on picket and tlie brigade had to wait lor them to be re _i..... _i_i sounded ‘•Advance” the harvest moon was well nigh overhead. It was one of October's love liest evenings and this seemed to inspirit the boys, for they marched away singing wer’e marching along;” when we halted to rest they struck up Home, sweet home,” and I could not blame them, if in their hearts they longed for the homes they had left far away in X. E. But we marched only about Hve. mites before haltiug for the night. Next morning we cross ed the Potomac at Harper’s Ferry, tiled left, crossed the Shenandoah and proceeded down Loudon Valley. It was a glorious day, and I never had beheld such magnificent scenery; high, craggy bluffs from one to three hundred feet in height, and covered with Autumn ting ed foliage: the Potomac winding along be tween Maryland Heights one the one side and Bolivar and Loudon on the other. Harper’s Ferry seemed to me to be a veritable moun tain fastness and I could but think John Brown deserved credit for his selection of this place for a base of operations. At night we halted on a southern slope surrounded by high hills, where we remained. Sunday morning’s bu gle started us for Snicker’s Gap. We remain ed at the latter place till Thursday morning when we advanced through Philoinont and Middlebury. Middlebury is a small though very neat seccsh town; the window shutters were mostly closed, but curious faces could be seen behind them. One lady showed her true state of feeling by mimicking our officers as they gave their commands. On Friday morning in a Va. snow storm, we reached White Plaius, encamped in the woods and re mained till next morning, wbeu we advanc ed through New Baltimore dfcrilhin three miles of Warrentou. About foOTo’eloek Sun day morning the screech of a bugle and clang of drum started us from our comfortable slum bers, grumbling at the prospect of a long march; but for once we were agreeably disap pointed, for alter trudging along about two and a half miles we halted aud encamped where we still remain. Warreuton is the finest town I have seen in Dixie. The dwellings are built of wood and bricks, with cbimnies inside. The majority of the houses in Maryland and Virginia are of stone, or logs chocked with mud, with huge stone chimules at either end; but the houses of Warrenton are decidedly Yankeeish in style. There are many fine churches, and places of business. I noticed only one public house, the Warreuton House, which looked as though it might afford comfortable accommo dations for a large number of travelers. The removal of Gen. McClellan came very suddenly upon the army, and caused consider able feeling. He took leave of the army on Monday, and there was certainly intense en thusiasm manifested. He was subsequently the guest of Gen. Porter, and officers of all grades crowded to take leave of him. His warmest friends are, however, compelled to admit that he has been too slow, but yet mourn his removal. Others hope for more prompt and euergetic measures under Gen. Burnside. The regiment has suffered much from sick ness; nearly two hundred were left at Antie tam Fort Hospital; aud numbers died and were buried there on a hill overlooking the creek; but the sick have since been removed to Bal- timore, Alexandria, and Philadelphia. Colds j are still very prevalent, owing to sleeping on the cold ground; aud if we have a winter cam Our regiment is, however, under good dis cipline; our officers have labored hard to make It second to none In the field; no time is al- lowed to pass unemployed; It' we halt but for a day or two, company and battalion drills art sure to take the place of marching. “Co. K” has several times been highly complimented for its good appearauce and efficiency In drill. Capt. Strickland, who commands it, has been in the service before, and well knows how to make his experience available. At inspection, i Tuesday, the Division General sent hlscumpli- j menu to Capt. S., stating that his was the best company in the regiment. It is cold weather now; but as wc received overcoats just before marching the men are tolerably comfortable. But my letter is getting too prolix, and I j must close, though you may hear from me agaiu soon. w. Deficiencies in Quotas.

It is a pity that Daniel’s politics were not us cents-ible as his purse. A correspondent of the N. Y. Times asserts without fear of contradiction, that a large majority of the army, and all the sober and thoughtful portion of it, among officers and men, fully approve of the change that has been made iu the command. The Biddeford Uuion says that on Tuesday night tire house of Dr. John A. Ber ry, who resides on Main street, Saco, was en tered by burglars, and money and silver plate to the value, as we learn, of $300, stoleu there from. Should the Democrats again acquire power, it Is presumed the first compromise they will ofier to tire south, is to hang all the Abolitionists. Perhaps they will propose to make free thought unconstitutional, for if they could get rid of this innovator, there would be no more trouble. Ey*'The Bangor Whig learns that a few competent Assistant surgeons are wanted for the regiments from this State. Candidates thoroughly well qualified, and passing a satis facto examination before the board, with good testimony as to character and standing, can have good situations by applying soon. SyThe Argus seems delighted with the action of the New Hampshire Democratic Con vention, and the uomiuatiou of Mr. Eastman, whose speech was innocent of any expressions of sympathy for the government, or any deuuu elation ol re Demon, uul was very emphatic m sayiug that “radical Abolition must be put down.” £^”From the frequent deprecatory allusions ol Democratic papers to John Brown's raid and their infrequent condition of Jeff. Davis, it is fair to presume that they regord old Brown as the greatest sinner, and his as a more keuious offence against good government that the rebellion of which Davis is the repre sentative. sre told that a few evenings since, during a diseussiou of the Presidents Procla mation, one of its opponents frankly admitted w hen closely questioned, that he did not wish to see the South conquered by the armies of the Union; and yet the person making this admission is one of the loudest complainants over the removal of McClellan! £Jf”*Our correspondent “Machigonne” pre tended to give a “running report” ol the debate iu the 'Mechanics’ Aisociation, on the Presi dent's Proclamation. We are informed that he actually ran away from all the assentiai points made by those who advocated the pro clamation, and did absolute injustice to that side of the question. We hope it wits not in tentional. The best speech of the evening was scarcely noticed by Machigouue. The Argus quotes approvingly what Usury C'tay suid twenty years ago. It would be interesting to turn back to the dies of the Argus and see what that paper suid of Henry Clay twenty year* ugo. We apprehend we should dud him held up as little better than a deud, and commended to the people of Maine as one upon whose soul rested iu targe meas ure the responsibility and guilt of the murder of one of our own sous! JIT“ A'1 unknown friend at Saccarappa will accept our thanks for an old copy of the Maine expositor, containing “a speech of Hon. F. U. J. Smith, ou the evening of Aug. 30, lsioti, at Deeriug Hall,” iu which he “vindicated the Kevolutiouury Fathers on the subject of Hu man Slavery,against the imputations of Hon. Howell Cobb, and Hon Judah P. Beujamiu;” these gentlemen having but just before deliver ed speeches iu this city. We shall take occasion to pluck a few gems from Mr. Smith’s string of abolition pearls at an early day, and com pare them with the brilliants that have recent ly appeared in the Advertiser.

No Troops yet sent over the Rappahannock. —No serious opposition expected at Fred ericksburg. New York, Nov. 22. The Times’ Washington dispatch says a large number of resignations have been sent to the War Department consequent upon striking from thp rolls absentee officers. Private John Keasler, of the 103d New York regiment, iuts been sentenced to he shot for stabbing a lieutenant. The Times’ Fairfax correspondent says the rebel Stuart's quarters are at Warreuton, aud White’s cavalry are at Leesburg. Tlie force of the latter is only 300 men. Stuart has artillery and cavalry, and his advance guard was on the Bull Kun battle Held, but Lieut. Koenig, sent out with cavalry, drove them hack. They have since re-occupied part of the ground. A Falmouth, Va., dispatcher the 21st states that we have uot yet thrown auy troops over the Kappahannock. The rebel pickets on the Fredericksburg side are posted down to the hank of the river, which, until swollen by this rain, was uot more thau 100 yards wide. The bridges on the railroad from Acquia Creek will soon he completed. The rebels now have ten guns, including two heavy Hodman, planted back of Fredericksburg, but onr batteries com pletely command them. Fifteen torage wagons of Couch’s troops were attacked by rebel cavalry just outside of the lines yesterday, but the guard repelled the guerillas, and brought the wagons aud load safely in. A dispatch of last evening from headquar ters, says our artillery disabled a rebel locomo tive yesterday, aud the rebels are now remov ing llour, Ac., by wagons. Our foraging par ties are constantly bringing in abundant supplies. It is believed that no serious opposition will be made to our occupation of Fredericksburg. Gen.

Rebel Cavalry at Warrenton nnd Bull Run. —The Charges against Fit* John Porter. Philadelphia, Nov. 21. The Washington Star of this evening has the following: We learn that a considerable body of rebel cavalry, claimed to be a body of l Stuart’s force—800 strong—reached Warren j ton day before yesterday, aud proceeded down the Warrenton Junction. Their design seems to be to make a dash on some portion of our lines from Acquia Creek to Fredericksburg, and trust to their heels to ge* olf. A smaller baud—about 50—is said to have been roaming over the Bull Kuti battle Held yesterday, aud j their scouts and pickets were iaat night hov ering about Centrevllle. The charges against Fits John Porter to be investigated by the new Court ol Inquiry, as sembled here yesterday, relate entirely to the famous report of Gen. Pope, which louud its way into (lie New York Herald in the shape of a letter from me of that journal's regular cor respondents, the day beliire it appeared in the papers as uu official document lfoin under the hand of Gen. Pope. The correctness of his allegations in that report against Geu. Porter will doubtless be thoroughly sifted by Judge Advocate Gen. Holt. On the 5th lust., the U. S. steamer Octorora captured off tli- Little Bahama bank the re bel schooner Llias, laden with turpentine, rosin, and a lew hales of Sea Island cotton. Rebel Account of a Fight at Franklin, Va. New Yoke. Nov. 22. A Petersburg, Va., dispatch to the Richmond papers of the 18th,says: The enemy, supposed to number considerably over a brigade, ap peared this morning at Fraukliu, ou Biaek water river, and attempted to cross under cover of their shells. The confederates resist ed successfully for two hours, when the aboli tionists retired. We captured 12 or 14. Our loss was noue so far as heard from. Parties direct from Lower Brandon assert positively that there is no fleet in that vicinity, nor has there been any. There is no fleet in sight up or down the river. An Improbable Story. New York, Nov. 22. A special dispatch from Washington to the World says: Information has been received here that certain merchants in New York, in censed at the ravages of the Alabama on American commerce, arc titling uut a pirate to prey on British commerce. The vessel is reported to he very swill, and if she succeeds in leaving the port of New York, will iuflict incalculable damage on British commerce. Rebel Cavalry near Leesburg. Leesburu, Va., Nov. 20. White’s band of rebel guerilla cavalry have again made their appearance in this vicinity. They are said to be about two hundred and flfty strong, aud so far have done Us no dam age, being well watched. Facta for the People. Every age and geneiatlon liu its great meu Si d great events.

MATTERS ABOUT TOWN. Pobti.asd’s Quota.—We learn that the State authorities have at last come to the conclusion that Portland has filled her quota of soldiers without a draft. Before the nine months men left, the officers commanding re ported Portland as twenty-two men short; the Irish company enlisted here by Capt. Dooley, consisting of about forty men, were 6cnt over to camp Abraham Lincoln to make up this quota, and the Vurnber passed exceeded the twenty-two men short Thcrc not being enough of this squad to make a company, it was proposed to put them into other companies; but the sons of Erin wanted to fight together and objected to this; Anally one night under the intlucuce of bad whiskey, or some other bad spirit, they together firmed a solid column and charged upon the camp guards at the bridge, near the entrance of the camp, and the first salutation these “country chaps” had, they found themselves, guns and all, riding in the arms of about thirty “bould Irishmen” to Portland. They bore them as far as the Kerosene works, laid them down “alsey” at the side of the road, and pass ed into the city. Most of them have since joined Corcoran’s brigade. Wak Tableaux.—Wesley's War Tableaux opens at Deering Hall on Tuesday evening next. The subject of this exhibition is one that cannot fail to draw large audicuces. Among the interesting scenes mentioned, the Maine troops are the most conspicuous, aud all the exciting scenes of this great contest are brought before the beholder with a vividness mocking reality, so that he can readily imagine himself an actual spectator of these startling events. The continued excitement of the pres ent war renders this painting ot unequaled in terest in all places where it has lieen exhibited, and it comes to this city with the most flat tering notices from the press where it has been shown. The price of admission Is very mod erate, thereby enabling all to witness this work of art without any serious inconvenience to their pockets, consequently it would be advis able for all who wish to secure good scats to come early. Launch of a Steamer.—The steamer Harvest Moon was successfully launched from Dyer’s shipyard in Cape Elizabeth, almut 11 o’clock Saturday. Quite a large number of spectators were preseut, notwithstanding the unfavorable appearance of the weather. The steamer is built in the most substantial manner, of the best of white oak, and is of beautiful model. She measures 100 feet keel, 29 feet beam, 10 feet bold, and is about 650 tons burthen. Her engines are to be furnished by the Portland Company. It lias not yet been decided by her owners, Messrs. Delano A Lang and Mr. Charles Spear, of Boston, what shall be done with the boat. Should not Govern ment take her up, there are several proflta' le routes which are open for her. Her builder, Joseph W. Dyer, Esq., may congratulate him self upon turning out such a handsome and substantial craft. Death of a.n Aged Citizen.—We record this morning the death of another of our venerable citizens, Captain Cornelius Bedlow, who died on Saturday, at the age of 75 years. He was bom in the island of Bermuda, April 1787, and at an early period of liis life went to Philadelphia, where he engaged in seafaring business, and before his minority expired be came master of a vessel. Prior to the war of 1812 lie removed to this city, and for some years was master of a vessel from this port. Subsequently he commenced business in Fede ral street, which, for a long series of years, lie followed. Within two years he has suffered two paralytic shocks, but up to within about a week prior to his death he was able to be about. He has been a member of the First Baptist Church in this city for half a century. He was an honest man and his last end was peace. A Fike Prevented and Life Saved.— About one o’clock Sunday morning officers Heury and Meservc, while going their round, observed Are in the dwelling house of Mrs. Touro, alias “Kitty Kentuck’’ in Hancock St. The officers burst open the door ami found a large pile of wood around the stove on tire, while Kitty laid upon the floor in a state of intoxication. They succeeded in throwing the burning wood out of the building, before the lire bad communicated to any part of it But for the providential discovery of the fire the building would have been burned and Kitty would have lost her life. m A Thanksgiving Dinner for the Sol diers.—We learn that it is proposed to give the soldiers of the 7th Maine, and also those at Fort Preble a thanksgiving dinner. The poultry will be1 purchased, cooked, and sent over to each regiment. Persons who desire to send pies, puddings, Ac., are requested to leave them on Wednesday the Ztith, between the hours of nine A. M. and five I’. M.: those from the western part of the city may be left at* Robinson’s eating saloon, under Lancaster Hall, and those from the eastern Wards, at the old Custom House, Fore street. The steamer Daniel Webster, which has been purchased by parties in Boston, and designed for a government transport during vue winter, is undergoing extensive alterations at Franklin Wharf. The guards on each side are to be cut off about four feet, the boilers will he draw n into the centre of the boat, aud sueli other alterations made as will render her a staunch sea going craft. A Max ox Fire!—Two of our policemen, between two and three o’clock Sunday morn ing, discovered a mail on lire! He had placed his lighted pipe in his coat pocket, and the tire had communicated with it and was burning away at a great rate when the officers discov ered it. In endeavoring to extinguish it the man burned his hand severely, and the police men put the fire out for him. Arrest of a Bebolau.—Jeremiah Ragan, of tliis city, was arrested yesterday forenoon just as he had succeeded in breaking into the “Quimby House" in Westbrook. He had brok eu a pane of glass in one of the windows, re moved the lastening, raised the window and entered the house, when he was arrested. He was brought to the city und lock up for ex amination. Allotments fob 13tii Reoimext.—The allotment rolls of companies E, G, and K, and of companies F, and I, in part, of the 13lh regimfcnt, have been received and the amounts thereof will be paid at the City Treasurer's office.

Reply of the Mayor of Fredericksburg to the Demand for a Surrender. Rebels Preparing to Defend tho City. I'rdt'rul Artillery bring placed in 1’ositiou. A Train Carrying Women mid Children fired into by mistake. Headquarters Army of Potomac, Falmouth, Ya., Nov. 22,12 M. The following is the reply of the Mayor of Fredericksburg to the demands of Gen. Burn side, which, owing to tin- late hour, could not be hail last night: Mayor’s Office, Fredericksburg, I November 21, 18(12. j To Brevet Major-General E. V. Sumner, Com manding U. S. Army: Sir: I have received at twenty minutes lie fore tire o'clock this P. M. your communica tion of this date. In it you state that “uuder cover of the houses of tiiis tow n shots have been fired upon the troops of your command; that our mills and manufactories are furnish ing provisions and materials for clothing for armed bodies in rebellion against the govern ment of the United States; that our railroads and other means for transportation are remov ing supplies to the depots of such troops; that by command of Major-General Burnside you demand the surrender of this town iuto your hands as the representative of the government of the United States, at or before live o’clock this P. M.; that failing an affirmative reply to this demand at or before the time indicated, sixteen hours will be nermitted 111 elnnsu fi.r the removal front the town of the women and children, the sick, wounded and aged, which period having elapsed, you will proceed to shell the town.” In reply I have to say that this communica tion did not reach me in time to convene the Council for its consideration and furnish a re ply by the hour indicated—five I’. M." It was sent to me through the hands of the command ing officer of the army of the Confederate States near the town, to'whom it was first de livered hy consent of General Patrick, who brought it from you, as X am informed, and I am authorized by the commander of the Con federate army to sav that there was no delay iu passing it through his hands to me. In regard to the matters complained of by you, the firing of shots ujion your troops, oc curred upon the northern suburbs ot tin* town, and was the act of tlie military officer com manding the Confederate lorces near here, for which matter the citizens nor the civil author ities of this town are responsible. In regard to the other matters of complaint, I am authorized by the latter officer to state that the condition of things therein complained of shall no longer exist; that your troops shall not be tired on from this town: that the mills and manufactories here will not furnish any further supplies of provisions or materials for clothing for the Confederate troops, nor will the railroads or other means of transportation here convey supplies from the town to the de pot of said troops, outside of the town. The civil authorities of Fredericksburg have no control, but I am assured by the military authorities of the Confederate army near here that nothing will lie done hy them to infringe on the conditions herein named as to matters within the town, hut the latter authorities in form us that while their troops will not occu py the town, tiiey will not permit yours to do so. You must he aware that there will not be more than three or four hours of daylight within the sixteen hours given hy you for the removal of the sick and wounded, the w omen and children, the aged and infirm, from this place. And I have to inform you that while there is no railroad transportation accessible to the town, because of the interruption there of by your, batteries, all other incans of trans portation w ithin the town are so limited a» to render the removal of the classes of persons spoken of within the time indicated, an utter impossibility. I have convened the council, whicli will remain in session, awaiting any fur ther communications you may have to make. Very respectfully your oliedient servant. Si. Slaughter, Mayor. Last night was a busy time in Fredericks burg removing the inhabitants. The military authorities were also not idle, as daylight this morning revealed to view a line of earthworks to the right and rear of the town, the result of last night's lalior. The artillery is now being placed in the most favorable position, while the encamp ments whicli are iu range of the enemy's guns are being removed further back from the river. There are very apparent strong reasons lor not opening upon the city to-day, unless forced to do so by the enemy. The rebels have just fired a few shots, but no response has been made. Headquarters Army of Potomac, 1 November 22—Evening, j Nothing of particular interest has trans pired. Owing to some misunderstanding, a train leaving Fredericksburg with women and children on board was fired into, but fortu nately no one of them was hurt. The. citizens of Fredericksburg are fast leav ing the place. Humors of Jackson's Command. Death of General Patterson, Philadelphia, Xov. 22. The Washington Star coutains the follow- j ing: An impression prevailed quite extensive- j ly in front yesterday (Friday) and this fore- noon, that Gen. Early and Geu. McCalls divis ions of Stouewail Jackson's corps w ere ad- I valu ing upon Washington, and had arrived in the vicinity of Middleburg and Leesburg.— We, however, state what we know in saying i that if Jackson comes in this direction with j less than 100,000 men, that Geu. Hcintrlcimiii will hardly let him get back to the mountains j again, so that there need be little fear that we shall hear the report of ids artillery in this i city. We do not believe that the reliel troops I who now hover around ourfiinmediate front, are in any considerable force whatever. Private dispatches received in tins city con vey the sad intelligence ol the death of Gen. Frank Patterson. He died in his tent near Fait fax Court House, of camp fever.

Messrs.

The unseemly daubs which are generally produced for public inspection under the name of Panoramas, have, in a great measure, shaken the confidence of the people; consequently, w’hen a meritorious work is offered to their notice, it is frequently condemed without being seen. It is necessary, therefore, to iu form all classes that this Exhibition has met with the most unbounded success.having been exhibited with iu the past few mouths to no less than noo.nnn t atadc This being its first exhibition in this eitr, the pro prietors would inform the citizens that they i tend exhibiting it every evening for ONE WEEK, reiving upon its intrinsic merit* to create the same enthusi astic patronage which its stay in any other city has never failed to produce. rS'* liis monthly l Vs.

MISCELLANY. _ GIVING AWAY TIIE BABY. “It was the third day after ray husband's fu Heral,” said the widow, “and I was stunned It) his sudden death, that I could do nothing bu sit aud think over it, and try to realize how ii could be so. Only the Sunday before, he hae been sitting with me, watching the baby, as hi sat in the sunshine, laughing and clapping hii little bands, as the shadows of the trees w’en flying across the bare floor and moved by thi passing breeze. Now the child was sitting it the same spot, the warm October sun stream ing in on his bright curls, and making hirr look so pretty—so l ike a picture; hut the 1'athei was gone from us forever. “It seemed to me I must see his dear fact once more—that he would surely lift the iatcl and come in, and take our child up, and say as he so often did—'Mother, whqt would you take for this little bother?’ “Even the baby missed him, and would come and stand at my knee, calling,‘Papa! papa! untli I thought my poor heart would break The two oldest children were at school; the rest were out playing, so that I was quite alone By and by the baby, tired of his play,and came and got into my lap. “Mamma cry ?—mamma musn’t;” he lisped out, and wiped my wet lace with ills little chub by bauds; but I could only bold him closer to me, and then cry more Utterly. “Just then, Mr. aud Mrs. liorrlmer drove np in their handsome carriage. They lived not far off, and were our richest neighbors. When I hail invited them in, aud had dried my tears a little, they seemed at a loss how to be gin the conversation, but Charlie bad slid away from my side, and went and stood at the lady’s knee, and pointing to her heavy gold bracelet, said—’Pretty, pretty!’ in his childish way. She took it off, and gave it to him, saying— ‘Won't vou eouie to lie my little boy, Char lie?’’ “My mother’s heart took fright at once. They had no children, and I seemed to feel as plainly as if they had told me that they had come to ask me for one of mine. “‘No, no; mother couldn’t spare him,’I said, UIUh.iy bUatCUUlg uuua«ll)(amiU3i iuuciy,i jar. “‘My dear woman,’ began Mr. Lorrimer, ‘have you thought seriously of the impossibili ty of your getting along with live children, un der twelve years of age It has required all your husband's efforts to make a living for you —how can you hope do it without him “‘We offer,’ to take the most helpless of your little ones—to give him all the advantag es we would our own child, and surely you mus’ see that God's hand is in it—that through u>. He intends to help you.’ I need not tell you how long I withstood all their arguments. But at last, overcome by their entreaties, I consented to consider the matter. In two days, they came lor my answer. I never mentioned their visit to any of the children, and I had changed my minil almost every hour since I had seen them. At last, convinced that it was for the child’s good, I consented to give him up. When I went to dress him to go, my resolution almost failed me. I lingered over every article I put on him, and made every dear curl over and over betore I could get it to please me; and I kiss ed the little white shoulders until they were all rosy. But at length he was ready, aud I thought he never looked so prelty. He was full of animation, for he was old enough to know what it meant to go riding,’ and clap ped his hands, aud laughed aloud at the hors es, as they were driven up. I handed him to his new mother,(the children supposed that he was to come back soon,) and he never even looked at me. Oh, how jealous my aching heart grew 1 When I came back into the house, the first thing my eye fell on was his cradle. I could only throw myself on it, and sob aloud. Theu came the trial of telling the whole truth to the children. None of them seemed reconciled, and I felt that the worst was to come, when the two oldest should return from school. I almost di-eaded to meet them, especially Wil lie he was like his father, so quiet and calm, outwardly, but hiding beneath his apparent coldness the strongest, deegiest feelings. But the others went to meet them as they came home, aud 1 was pleasantly disappointed in the way the oldest took it. He seemed to feel that 1 had done it for the best, aud that he must hide his own sorrow for my sake. He was wore thoughtful lor my comfort, gentler than ever, only very still aud grave. “The day ended, as the longest will at last, and it came time to go to bed. I had taken Willie to sleep down stairs near me. Since his lather’s death, the other children slept just above us. Well, when I came to lie down, there was the empty pillow I Baby had al ways laid his little rosy face as close to mine as he could get It, and slept with one little warm hand on my neck. All my griet broke out afresh when 1 thought of him. Willie rais ed up at last, and said earnestly: ‘Mother, it’s Charlie you are crying for, isn’t it?’ “Yes,’, I answered; “I know it’s for the best —but oh! it’s so hard to give him up.” “Mother," continued the child—“when fa ther died we knew it was all lor the best, be cause God took him from us; but 1 have been thinking ever since we laid down, how poor little Charlie must be cryiug for you, and how God gave him to us, to love him, and keep him; and now you have given him awav. If He had meant him to be Mr. and Mrs. Lorri mer’s baby, wouldn’t he have given him to them at first “The child's words carried more weight with them than all the arguments of my rich neigh bors. Alter considering a moment, I said, im pulsively “Oh, if I only had him back, he should nev er go away agalu, no matter how poor we might be.” The moon was shining so brightly that it was almost as bright as day, aud presently Willie said: “Mother, It's only half a mile across the Helds, and they won’t go to bed for a long time at Mr. Lorrimer’s; let us go aud get Charlie. Why, mother, I seem to hear him now.” “Urged by the child's entreaties, and the fond promptings of my own heart, I consent ed. I think I never walked half a mile so .quickly In my life, and neither of us spoke un til we reached the mansion. Then we stopped a moment for breath, and sure enough, we could hear baby screaming at the top of his voice. We went round to the sitting-room door, and knocked. They seemed half fright ened when they saw who it was, but asked us in politely. A. hired nurse was wa king with the child up and down the floor, trying to pac ify it. ^frs. Lorrimer bad wearied herself out, and was lying on a lounge. “Come to mother,” Willie said, and brought the little fellow to me at once. How he clung to me, still sobbing, yet fmiling all the while to find himself in mv arms. cannot give him up," I said at la6t, when 1 wum act iuy roicecieur. x uu must lei me take him home.” “They evidently thought me the silliest of women; but their cold words only made me the more determined, and we started back in less than half an hour after we came, I carry ing the baby; Willie offered to help me, but I felt as though I could carry him in my arms forever. W hen I had laid him in bed, now fast asleep, but still sobbing, and reaching out his little hands, to feel if I was there, 1 said, ‘God help ing me, come what will, I will never part with one of my living children again,’ and I never did. “I need not tell you how wild with joy the rest of the children were, when they found the baby in bed next morning; they almost fought over the little lellow. and from that day forth, it was their greatest pleasure to amuse Charlie, and have him with them. “When the affair came to be known, many blamed me, and many favors that my rich neighbors might have done me.they withheld, I think for my tolly as they called it. But a few poor women like mvse'lf who had always nursed their own children, said I did right. We had many trials, and often scarcely a crust of bread in the house; but our hardships only bound us the more closely togelh-r. “All my children proved ctmilorts Mid bless ings to me. Gotl took care of one fur. me; bill «v> Willie said, we know that was for the hot.

KL. I^rohook:, GENERAL AGENT. Under United States Hotel, Portland. i THIS desirable mechanical arrangement has now been in use a sufficient length of time to shew that it gives entire satisfaction and actually is the more valued the more it is used. This invention is a step in advance of all others in the Spring Bed department, embracing a little more of their excelrencies, and yet happily overcoming all their delects. It is flexible as hair, and yet so recu perative as to bring itself into ntace w ith great facili ty. It is adapted to the invalid, the aged and old. and all who linger in suffering and weakness. They are made of good material warranted strong and du rable, and not liable to get out of order. TESTIMONIALS Commercial House. Portland. June 16, 1962.
