Letter from the Seventeenth regiment. Our correspondent “T.” of the 17th Maine regiment, incidentally touched in his letter published in the Press for December 1st, upon topics which form the theme of a communica tion from “F.” of the lame regiment. “J’s” letter was not sour; though there may have been a suspicion of tartness in one or two pas sages. Still less can we admit that he was mistaken about, the necessity of advancing while the roads were in good condition. The country was imperiled by every hours delay; and it is not for Americans, who remember Valley Forge, to talk of cold, and hunger, and nakedness, as of some new evils against which It is hopeless to contend, even for the safety of the Republic. The question last Fall was not whether the army could move comfortably, luxuriously, but whether it could move at all. Nevertheless, so blunt and frank is “F.,” so soldierly Is bis satisfaction with his comman der, with his rations, and his shelter tent, that we cannot refuse to let him speak for himself. Camp op 17th Maine Reuiment, 1 Near Falmouth, Va., Dec. 5, 1862. J To the Editor of the Daily Preas: Still at the old camp we have occupied for nearly two weeks. During this time the troops in this vicinity have made sad havoc in the woods that flank the encampments. Far into the night can be heard the sturdy blows, and then the crash, and some pine or oak comes crackling to the ground. The wood is put to various uses. Much of it is burned green; and so dense volumes of smoke hang around the camp, and much dodging alter the wind ward side of the fire, with misty eyes and up turned noses, follows. Another use is fur building. Many of our little shelter tents are stockaded nicely, and are made not only warm, but really comfortable by taking a little pains. A large number of “hotels” have been erected by the officers and men, and with the cheerful fireplace that throws out a glowing heat in front, and the floor covered with cedar or pine sprigs, the impromptu tables and seats that are placed around, a house is made that will compare with any that have !>een built by any troops in the field—so we have been told by officers of old regiments that have visited our quarters. The Seventeenth has learned much in the short time it has been the field. While I am writing, a snow storm that would do honor to old Maine, is visiting our camp. The wind blows strong, and the snow flies, but the eround is not snfiicientlv frozen to allow It to remain long without turning in to a slush most disagreeable to wade through, especially with a pair of government shoes on, with trowsers torn nearly to the knees and hanging loosely about the ankles. In to-day’s mail we received a “Daily Press” of Dccemlier 1st. and I can assure you it was most gladly received, as it is by far the latest dews we have had from home. On casting my eyes over tlie paper, the first item of interest was a letter from “T,” of this regiment, writ ten from this place, dated Nov. 24. On giving it a careful perusal, I noticed quite a number of errors, some of which I beg leave to cor rect, in order to set matters right with our friends at home, and prevent an undue amount of anxiety on our account. In the first paragraph is a statement that bears most directly upon our General, charg him with retaining a man upon his statT, who by “habitual drunkenness,” keeps the meu of the brigade on short rations. Was it on ac count of the commissary’s drunkenness that the Baltimore 4 Ohio Canal was cut, causing a want of provisions for some days at Edward's Ferry? When supplies could be had from Washington, we had rations that at this time we should call ample; but it must be borne in mind that we had but just come into the field, and knew neither how to husbanAnr rations nor bow to live on field food. Soft bread it is not furnished soldiers in the field. Your correspondent “T.” undoubtedly for gets that our shelter tents were dealt out to us and used at Edward's Ferry, on a most disagreeable night. The experience was not en tirely new, as many of us had used small spreads made in precisely the same manner as the shelter tents of our rubber blankets. We toted our houses on our backs from the Ferry to White’s Ford encampment. Again he is mistaken in calling them “thin, coarse,‘slazy,’ cotton sheets.” They are in fact most of them made from Bates or Pepperell fine drills, the closest and best, and lightest material that can be furnished for the purpose. Can a man car ry half a tent in addition to his other furni ture made of the heaviest kind of cotton goods It is surely enough to place upon his knapsack a piece of drilling that will lie at once light, fine, close, and as far as |>ossible the best adapted for the purpose. This has been done, and to-day's experience shows that they keep out the wet, as well as anything of the kind could lie expected to. Are our men to see com fortable quarters while liere? Surely not, and for this reason. Our regiment is allowed six teams for transportation, but by the kindness of Gen. Berry, we are permitted the use of one extra. One of these teams Is tor transporta tion of hospital materials, medicines, A c.; one for transportation of baggage of Held and stafl' officers, tents, personal, 4c.; one for use of Quartermaster and commissary stores; one for the hauling of line officer's baggage: and one team has been used for the purpose of car rying knapsacks, guns and equipments belong iug to the sick of the regiment, thus leaving but one team for transportation of food either for man or beast; yet when after a inarch of three days or more, we camp, and the haver sacks become empty, we bear from all sides loud notes of complaint, iflood is not supplied from this one team and its mate, sufficient to feed a regiment of 750 hearty men, and with this fact staring them in the face, our officers wish for tents that the teams must of neccssi ty carry, and “T.” says the men will probably be provided before long with A tents. They cannot be carried, and as was remarked at the outset, by taking a little pains, these self same “thin, coarse, ‘slazy,cotton sheets,” can lie con i verted into houses as much better than a com mon A tent, as the latter is better than none at all. Again. “In order to the speedy settlement of these national troubles, an advance must be made while the roads are in condition.” How is an advance to l>e made Some of the men In an adjoining brigade, have been until this week obliged to go barefooted, and I need not take “T.” beyond the limits of his own compa ny to show him men who are absolutely in need of clothing to protect their feet and limits from the rain and cold. We are short of cloth ing. Stockings are scarce, shirts are few in number, while pants and drawers are almost worn out, and a thin summer blouse is all the men have to cover their bodies except their overcoats, which many are compelled to wear to cover their rags, and then hover about the fires to keep warm. Would “T.” order a march under these circumstances, knowing that eve ry new move only increases the distance from the depot of supplies, and that a halt must be made somewhere to enable the boys to clothe themselves, so as not to freeze while moving away from the articles necessary to keep them warm But our clothing has arrived, though the supply came by steam, and not by the slow coach drawn by mules or horses. The men will be comfortable soon. The boys are reveling in the luxuries of rich baked beans, boiled rice, roast !>eef done on a stick, and a dish made of hard bread powder ed mixed with water and fried, making capi tal fritters. Surely we cannot complain of our grub; and yet I would not give a flg fora reg iment that did not have some grumblers. They are often the lift1 of the camp. But enough. Hoping that with the opening of the spring, our regiment will again show j itself in the old loved Forest City, we close.’ ___ F. Crime in France ani> England.—Of the 7090 prisoners who were this year condemned to hard labor in France, 1903 are sentenced to hard labor for life, 2239 to hard labor from eleven to twenty years, 354 to terms of from twenty-one to fifty years, leaving the remain uer, .1070, to terms ol Iroin five to ten years. With this greater severity of punishment and its rarer remission it is worthy of remark that there exists in France a considerably less amount both in crime and the rate of second convictions. In a country with a population of thirty-six millions, the' assaults under in dictment in the superior courts are found to amount to no more than between two aud three thousand |ier annum. Serious crimes against property rate only at between three and four thousand, and in the courts of sum mary jurisdiction the offenders under trial were only 852,108. With us we had, jn 1881, no less titan 10,778 convicts undergoing punishment in our ten convict prisons. Our convictions under trial by jury in 1851 for a population of seventeen millions extended to more than twelve thousand cases, while our summary convictions rose to 255.808. Important as are the conclusion we draw from from these figures as they stand by them selves, the significance becomes instructively enhanced as we remember that the French ju dicial system is set in action on very micro scopic matters, and that their police system has reached an effectiveness in the discovery and punishment of crime of which ours offers but a very feeble resemblance. It is remarka ble, too, that while crime thus prevails amongst us out of all European proportion the dispro portion of relapses is equally against us. In England, where the materials for judgment arc not assisted by passports, and a complicated system of police espionage, we yet have evi dence that these relapses cannot be less titan at the rate of about (MS per cent. In France they are found, on almost iulallible data, to amount to less than one-hall'—25 per cent.— [Liverpool Standard. Stonewall Jackson.—The following an ecdote is taken from the Richmond correspon dence ol' the Charleston Mercury: “Here are 1 wo anecdotes about Jackson. A Yankee captain captured in the battles beyond Richmond, was brought to some brigadier's headquarters. Being fatigued, he laid dow n under a tree to rest. Pretty soon Gen. Lee and start' rode up. The Yankee asked who be was, and when told, praised his soldierly ap pearance in extravagant terms. Not long af ter, Jackson and ills staff rode up. When told that that was Jackson, the Yankee bounced to his feet in great excitement, showing that he was much more anxious to see old Stone wall than 1 A-e. He gazed at him a long time. ‘And that's Stouewall Jackson!’ ‘Y'es.’— ‘Waal. I swan, lie aint much for looks.’ And with that he laid down and weut to sleep. During the same battles a straggler, who had built a Held lire in the old anu w as enjoy ing it all to himself, observed what lie took to be a squad of cavalry. The man in front seem ed to lie reeling in liis saddle. The straggler ran out to him and said,‘Look here,old fellow, you are mighty liappy. Here aiu you get your liquor from? (fiveme some; I'm ns ury ns a powder boru.' Imagine his feelings when he found it was Jackson—the most ungrace ful rider in the army, mid who naturally sways from side to side as if he were ‘three Bheets in the wind.’ Semmf.s and Maffit of the “290.”—Bi ographers have sometimes mistaken the no torious captain of the Alabama lor a less cel ebrated namesake. The pirate is not Alexan der, hut Kaffael Senimes, who was never put upon the retired list lor going at a “2.40, or a 2.90" pace. Vanity Fair to the contrary not withstanding. The Seinmes is a lialtiinoriaii, or a native of Maryland at least, lie was the tlfty-elghth commander in the U. S. Navy when he resigned. Captain Radford, now commander of the Brooklyn Navy Yard, had beei. a year in the service before’ him. Ca|> Dahlgren, chief of the Ordnance Bureau, was a middy with him. Captain Rowan, npi>oint ed to command our great harbor battery;— Captain Boggs, of the Varuna; Commodore Goldsborough, of the Minnesota: Captain IJrayton, of the Passaic, and other distin guished men were his schoolmates. They all know him well, and fear that he will not be caught with chaff. He was a midshipman on board the old Lexington, and commanded the brig Somers, when she made tier famous “cap size.” The energy and pluck of Seinmes al ways commanded respect. While he was in spector of the Lighthouse Board, a position he tilled before the war, those who opposed him once never did twice. He can beat any steamer in the navy, if his vessel has the speed that report says. Apprehensions are felt that he may obtain some of our new signal books, which would enable him to coal beside one of our naval vessels in a foriegn port, if none of our offi cers there knew him. In this city a first-class private house is occupied by a near female rel ative of the dashing pirate, and it is said that one of his children, who is now being educat ed iu Baltimore had her father's daguerreo type copied in Broadway, that ail his friends might have souvenirs of him. There arc three or four members of his family in Brooklyn, all in respectable positions. Ills ItUiUT HAND MAN. Seinmes is not a whit greater dare-devil than John N. Maffit, who is reported to be his second in command. Maffit is an Irishman, whose father was a pious clergyman, which John, on more than one occasion, declared to be “the meanest profession under the sun.” Iu 18112 he was admitted to the navy, and, singu larly enough, was classmate with Mr. Rocken dorf, whom he has just outwitted. He was the last commander of the steam gun-boat Crusader, one of Cromwell’s vessels, bought by our navy. His ap|K>intment was credited to Georgia, which he called the “native state of his naturalization.” On hoard the little brig Dolphin he captured tin* brig Echo, with i the cargo of negroes which was subsequently j sent to Africa in the Niagara. He is person ally very brave, even to rashness, and is a ve j ry able seaman.—[N. Y. World. NOTICE. A NY person having from Five to Ten Hundred j 2m.

But the novel—the peculiar feature of the MODEL COOK—that wliich distinguishes it from all others— I is the addition of a Ventilated Roasting >ven with! 1 the body of the stove aud in front of the Are; so ar ranged that it can be used separately for roasting, or (by the removal of a simple plate) in connection with I the larger oven for baking. Wherever these stoves have been used, they have given universal satisfaction. FOR SALE BY F. A.

THE DAILY PRESS.

POBTLAITD, MAINE Tuesday Morning, December 16, 1862,

The Portland Daily Press has the largest regular circulation of any daily paper in the oity. The Distress in Lancashire. The suffering in the cotton manufacturing districts of England shows no signs of abate ment. By this time it is estimated tliai 300, 000, representing more than 600.000 persons, are dependent on charity for daily bread.— These 30O,OQOhauds earn, when at work, some- thing near $815,000 a week; these figures j measure approximately the gross sum of want which appeals to the world’s bounty, but give no hint of the pain and shame, pain of hun ger, and shame of beggary, they represent. A clergyman near Manchester says he found in one house nine persons, who had been with out Are for seven days, and whose only food tor that time had been six pounds of oatmeal; in another were ten persons, who had lived a week on eighty cents; in the next were eight grown persons without food, or the means of procuring it; the wife had just given birth to twins, and one of them had died. Close on the heels of famine creeps pestilence. “The true spotted typhus fever,’’ says the London Lancet, “the famine fever, a dire concomitant of prolonged dearth, is slowly but surely ex tending its ravages in the Lancashire district.” This fever is caused by long exposure to cold or moisture, nnd by irregular or deficient diet. It can only be subdued by attacking and re moving these causes. Such is a faint outline of the bare physical facts which characterize the Lancanshire fam ine. The temper of the operatives is admira ble. For a time they were very unwilling to receive assistance; but since the vast calamity has enveloped the whole community this nat ural repugnance has given way. Jo ask aid is no longer a private and |>eculiar disgrace.— A correspondent of the London Times for Nov. 27, thus describes the patience and cour age of these poor people: Many of them were dejected, indeed almost prostrate. Many showed in their faces the terrible struggle through which they had pass ed before consenting to accept relief. One, a decent shopkeeper, showed me his books to prove that his whole profits fora week hail on ly been 6d., and asked il'I thought he had done very wrong to come on the committee. Anoth er spoke cheerfully, as he hoped that an Eng lishman might feel justified iu accepting chari ty to save his family from starving: but while he spoke he turned pale, a spasm crossed his face, and he rose suddenly and left the room, while his wife burst into tears. Everywhere I met the marks of terrible mental suffering. But nowhere did I find any complaint against the upper classes, any sense ofinjustice, or of having been hardly used. Never was there seen a nobler simplicity of endurance. The ordinary legal provision for the main tenance of paupers cannot be expected to meet the necessities of so great a disaster. Lanea shireseems to be doing all that could be ex pected of her in her corporate capacity. The rates could not tie advanced much further with out ruining the smaller ratepayers. The man ufacturers are doing more than any other class for their workmen. One large firm distributed food and money among them at the rate of $600 a week; another has spent in provisions, coal, and soup very nearly $3000; several have furnished outdoor labor for a part of their hands; one young man just beginning business (and doubtless others not reported,) having nothing else has given his time and energy without stint; another is working up cotton, which he could sell without trouble at a profit of ten cents a pound. “Nnw,” said a small manufacturer, who had bought yarn lor his weavers, and was ofi'efed an advance of $1500 on the lot, “Naw, I bowt it to keep ’em going, and they shall have it.” It has been a general opinion that this dis tress is occasioned by the American war. That is not the case. Since the visit of M. Felix Foncon to England, and the publication of his article in the Paris Presse, it has become more and more apparent that nothingcould be worse for England than the raising of the blockade, and the free importation of more cotton. This view is adopted by English newspapers. The Liverpool Courier says: Of the cause of this lamentable distress we think that the non-supply of American cotton is not the proximate one, though it is popular ly assigned to be such. The closing of many mills was, we apprehend, a necessity laid upon their owners, in consequence of the diminished demand for their manufactured goods, all available markets being glutted by the heed less energy ol excessive exportation during the last four years. Under these circumstances, if. mnnnt trnlv nlliurmi flint flu* diffli'iiltiou connected with the non-exportation of cotton from America have as yet fairly commenced. “We don't want cotton,” said an eminent Manchester salesman, "we want markets for the goods that encumber our warehouses," and ho S|K>ke out the exact state of the Manches ter case, probably up to the present time. The misfortune which lias befallen the op eratives would equally have teached them through the ruin of their employers, had this continent remained at peace during the last year. The war, which is the financial salva tion of the manufacturers, is so far from being a cause of the suffering of their workmen, that without it the miiiowners would no longer l>c in a condition to relieve the misery which would no less have come upon that district. These people are our friends; they are our kinsmen. The English hatred of America is only political; so far as the hatred of de mocracy pervades the English people, there is little hope of sympathy in our national troub les, but the working men as a body do not share that hatred. They are consistent in their opposition to slavery, which has never presented itself in the daugerous guise of an ally to their political hopes. One employer called together his hands, told them ho- could no longer give them work, ami referred to the American war as the cause. “We don't mind suflering a bit,” was the reply, “if we can only set the poor slaves free.” We cannot let these men and women starve. Something, however little compared with their needs, we can do. On Saturday $100,000 had been raised in New York. One firm offered a ship of 1800 tons burden to carry the supplies—an offer equiva lent to $20,000. A. T. Stewart gave $10,000; Gerritt Smith, $1,000; a gentleman, who did not communicate his name, 1000 barrels of flour and $7000 in money. Similar move ments are in progress elsewhere. It chills the warm heart ol the nation to learn that the T. B. Wales, offered by her owners last Wednes day to a committee of the Boston Board of Trade, for the purpose of conveying a cargo of provisions to the poor of England, has been burned by a Confederate steamer sailing from an English port and manned by Englishmen. But the sufferers of Lancashire are not respon sible for this. We are blessed with full har vests; we have been used to helping the fam ine smitten poor of the British Islands: ev en In tne midst of this terrible contest which now absorbs our energies, we can hut turn aside and listen to that cry. It is our duty, our pleasure, our pride. The general complaint against the land owners of Lancashire seems too well founded. Dr. Frederick Temple, Arnold's successor at Rugby, and one of the authors of that theo logical firebrand, the “Essays and Reviews,” thus writes to the Times The landowners have not yet, as it seems to me, appreciated the greatness of the need. The landowner, like the millowner, has been enriched by the presence of the men who are now in want. But the millowner has risked his capital, has given his time and the labor of his brain to make hi- money. The landowner may have spent his time in social enjoyments, may have lived at I’aris or Italy, and yet, with out costing him an effort or a care, his prop erty has steadily Increased 111 value, because busy men have come near him to work. If the riches of the millowner are liable to the de mand of the operatives, much more are those of the landowner; and this terrible crisis has seriously damaged the former, while it has left the latter almost or quite unscathed. That the property of the county is well able to bear the burden there cannot be the slight est doubt. If Parliament is to interfere, the interference should consist in putting the bur den on the right shoulders, not in transferring it to the shoulders of the nation. If this be true, and the amount and nature of the evidence is conclusive, it is to be hoped that the burden will find the right shoulders; and so long as the shoulders are unprotected by this just burden, may the lash of a world’s scorn descend upon them. Let us not howev er hastily infer that we are discharged from all obligation liccause the property of Lancashire is able to bear the burden. The sufferers are not thereby relieved; and, remember, they are our friends. Time also must elapse before the resources of the county can be brought into full operation; and meanwhile the American contributions may save many lives even. The London Times and Gen. McClellan. It will be remembered that when Bull Run Russell, the “special correspondent” of the London Times, with Gen. McClellan’s consent to follow his army to the Peninsula, had snug ly stowed himself on board a government transport, with his carriage, bis horses, and servants, by order of Secretary Stanton he was directed to “walk the plank,” taking his traps with him, and was thus refused the priv ilege which he sought of hanging upon the HKins ui our uruiy uprrttuuup, umt mipii disparage ami traduce us before tile world in the columns of the Times. It is remembered, too, how he went off suddenly to London, dis gusted alike, of course, with Stanton's dis courtesy, and with republican notions of civil ity to swaggering attaches of the English press. From that time the Times, as was to lie ex pected, fell to abusing our government in general, and the Secretary of War in particu lar. and to lauding nobody oil this side of the water—if we except the rebels—but Gen. Mc j Clellan, and those who have thought, through the weight of his name and influence, to break down the administration, and raise to life up on its ruins a dead and defunct party organi zation. But if any man ever had reason to pray, in relation to foreigners as well as na tives, “save me Iroin my friends,” that man is Gen. George B. McClellan. Not more dis creet than have been John Van Buren, Fer nando Wood, and the Bellast Journal, lias been the London Times, in its attempts to exalt McClellan a head and shoulders above all the rest of his countrymen; and not more trans parent have been the meanness and unworthi uess of the motives in one case than in the other. In the Times of Nov. £5th is an article in re lation to Gen. McClellan, which is interesting i in showing how this European mouth-piece of slaveholding secession agrees with its sympa thizers on this side of the Atlantic. In the first extract we ask the reader to notice Hie statement that McClellan is the only Northern General w hom the enemies of the North re spect, and that he is the foremost man of a party coming into power: He (McClellan) is the foremost member of a party which is coming into power. He is the only man among the Northern Generals whom the enemies of the Iforth respect; and perhaps we may even say that he is the only man among those Generals whom the world at large respects. Vet, w hile lie is in camp surrounded by his friends, late one night a missive is put into his hands from a President who seems to have lost all influence, and from a Government w hich is sinking daily into con tempt, and immediately this powerful Gener al lays down his command, sinks into a private individual, and with a short farewell to his men, goes aw ay into retirement, and almost in to exile. In the following see how adroitly allusion is made to a coup d'etat, and how easily it might have been accomplished if American soldiers had been the ignorant, passive, unpatriotic hirelings that the Times imagines them to be, judging, probably by what it knows of the merceuaiy troops of its own country: He (McClellan) appears to lie the only man in America who admits that the law has any force. If McClellan had wanted precedents or pretexts for tossing his official dismissal in to his camp fire, neither was difficult to And, nor far to seek. If it w as proper to resist by IIIIIIUM j IUIVC lUf pwc'8 Ulc OU|mUUL‘ Courts, and to deny tbe halieas corpus writ in eases of arrest of American citizens, surely a great necessity might have beeu pleaded to firevent the action of a mere State Secretary's etter; and if the whole municipal laws and individual liberties ol'America are rightly sus pended under the plea of military exigency surely a similar plea might have justified a res olution of Gen. McClellan not to leave his ar my leaderless while in the face of the enemy. The Times seems to understand the feelings of the Democrats in this country; a'any rate, it speaks for them, and intimates that they would have applauded an attempt on his part to subvert the government: j To strike down this party then even at the head of the Army of the Republic was an act of vigor which might have had important con sequences had the General's ambition been equal to his opportunity. If Gen McClellan lull! refused obedience there is great reason to believe that the army w ould have stood by him, and that a large party of the Democrats tcould hare applauded him. Here follows more of the same kind, mingled with twaddle about “saving the Constitution” from the President’s violation; but the reader will probably agree with us that the Times’ respect for our Constitution, and its fear of its violation, are paralleled only by the demonstrations of Messrs. Van Ruren, Wood, «fc Co., in the same general direction. The Times says: To save the Constitution by force from the i forcible violations by the President would I have Ia?en a fair party cry. But McClellan has preferred to play the part of the model constitutional Democrat; he yields obedience even to Mr. Lincoln, that he' may show his zeal for the Constitution, and, with a smoth ered complaint of “doubt and coldness” in some quarters, he turns aside from the possi ble dictatorship to till his New Jersey farm. In the following is a very distinct intimation that McClellan has more confidence in Jack son and Lee. than lie has in Burnside, and that the latter's failure to cope with the rebel gen erals will afford gratification to McClellan. This is the kindness of the Times for the late commander of the army of the Potomac: A bold, patriotic man might have lieen daz zled by the glory or Impelled by the duty of daring everything in order to put an end to the present outporing ot blood and arresting the present rush to ruin; but so far as the world knows Gen. McClellan he was likely to I see things in a different light. While matters are going so well for him and his party there j is no need of any great coup. No doubt Gen. McClellan has confidence in Lee and Jackson j it we have not in Gen. Burnside, and he nat urally thinks that operations w hich lie did not believe to be wise to attempt himself could not be successfully carried out by the General who has superseded him. The Times, In the following, but too clearly I reflects the feeling of a class of disloyal persons in the free States, who would welcome nothing I with so much gusto as a defeat in Virginia; but that McClellan has calculated upon being re-called with augmented power, to “finish up the present decaying government,” we are not prepared to believe, though we do not doubt j “the thought” is “shared by a great many others” with whom the “wish is father to the i thought A great defeat in Virginia would bring hack McClellan with augmented power and reputa tion, and would finish up the present decaying Government. Such inay be the calculations of the obedient General who formed the army of the I’otomac, and if such be the thoughts that swayed him they seem to be shared by a great many others. The Times goes on with a long rigmarole about panic in the New York stock market, the creeping up of gold and exchanges, all of which “uneasy feeling is doubtless complimen tary to McClellan, and must be (unsatisfactory to Lincoln”; flings at Gen. Halleck for his “long letter ofindictment against McClellan,” and finally winds up with the following some what ambiguous but pregnant language: Some of flic Americans evidently looked wistfully to Lord Lyons, who is just arrived at Washington; but it is clear that what Mc Clellan dares not soy. and Seymour dorrs not soy, would not he prudently said by foreign ers. 11’ it be true, as the Southerners boast, that they are massing their forces on the Rap pahannock to fight the greatest battle of the war. the fortune of such a battle may change all things; but in default of some fuel of this kind, the fire seems to lie sinking, and perhaps McClellan may he out of fashion and forgotten before the next Presidential election comes oil'. We have never desired to believe a word adverse to the strict integrity of Gen. Mc Clellan, nor do we uow believe that he can lend his countenance to the vile use that is be ing made of his name, or that he can be other wise than annoyed by such desperate men in the furtherance of a desperate cause. But if we are mistaken in this, if McClellan is satis fied to have suggestions of usurpation and in which such a course oil his part would tie hail ed by his soldiers and the members of a great party, then his removal did not take place a moment too soon. We go further, and say that were McClellan as pure as an angel, and as patriotic as Aristidcs.so long as he is young, possessed of the ordinary feelings of ambition, bas human passions and weaknesses, he would be a dangerous man at the head of an army, if for a moment he would give ear to the coun sels and suggestions daily made in his hearing, and evidently intended to corrupt his heart,to lire his ambition, aud to make him the instru j ment of wicked and designing men. New England Soldiers' Keliei Association. II. R. Warriner, President; J. B. Alvord, Secretary; K. Houghton, Superintendent.— Head Quarters, S. E. corner of Thirteenth and Chestnut Streets. This Association, formed for the purpose of assisting the sick and wounded soldiers from the New England States, in the U. S. Army Hospitals in this city, and such as may need aid while pussing through here on their way to the army or their homes, desire that those who are interested in the subject should fully understand the method adopted to carry out this purpose. Our plan is to appoint one or more visitors to each hospital, whose duty it is to see every New England patient, and by means of a prop er blank, get his military history, sanitary con dition and home address. We then endeavor to supply his necessities, ami as far as possible promote his general comfort. The names thus obtained are reported at our “Head Quarters,” with the name of the hospital nnen for public inspection, any person, by application at our rooms, may readily ols tain the exact location of their friends from New England. If a patient is very ill, and not likely to re cover, the relatives or friends are notified, and the necessary instructions obtained as to the disposition of the body in case of death, in the event of which, if desired, we have the body embalmed and forwarded according to the in structions received, provided the family or friends defray the ex|>euses, which vary ac cording to the distance from $30 to $45. No charge is ever made for the services rendered by the association. The number of soldiers whose names are on our registers at the present time is about 2000, a large proportion of whom we have aided in in one way or another. The donations of money and clothing, thus far received, have mostly been contributed by natives of New England, resident in this city; but the daily increasing demand now compels us to ask aid from other sources, and we (eel that we have but to make known our wants to New England people at home, to so till our treasury, and stock our storeroom, that we shall be enabled to supply every worthy applicant. We there fore respectfully solicit from individuals and •Aid Societies” donations of money, hospital stores, and clothing ot all kinds, especially flannel shirts and drawers (red or gray), and woolen stockings. The demand for these lat ter articles is much greater than ice can sujt vly, yet the necessity fur their be inn sumdied in too apparent to need stating. All urticles of clothing tee give directly to the patient. Wines, jellies and preserves we mark with the patient's name ami give them in charge of the “Lady Matrons” of the hospital, to be given out under the direction of the surgeon of the ward; therefore donors may feel assured that no article is misapplied, but that the sick or wounded soldier for whom it was intended gets the full benefit of every article sent to us lor distribution. Articles lor hospital use, such as Shirts, Drawers, Dressing-gowns, Slippers, Lint, Bandages, etc., are also solicited, and they will be distributed to such points as our visitors find most needy. Donations sent to us for general distribution from other than New England States, will be gladly received and faithfully given out, accor ding to instructions, or to those most in want. By the term “General Hospital” being ap plied to each one, the impression has obtained throughout the country that we have only one immense hospital here. The fact is, however, that we have about twenty, accommodating from 150 to 2000 patients each; therefore, a letter directed to the “lT. S. General Hospital, Philadelphia,” rarely reaches the patient to whom it is addressed. Those who do not know the exact one to which to direct their letters should send them to the care of this associa tion, who will have them promptly delivered. We cannot close this circular without add ing what we feel sure will afford comfort to those who have relatives or friends in the hos pitals in this city, viz: The assurance that the medical treatment and nursing which they re ceive is generally good, ami that in most in stances the latter is almost equal to what could be given them at home, (in many cases even better,) excepting of course the soothing care of the affectionate mother, w ife, or sister. Yet the absence of even these is in a great degree supplied by a noble band of truly Christian women, “Lady matrons,” whose vol untary devotion to the care and comfort of the invalid soldier commands the admiration and approbation of every benevolent heart. Dur ing his severe illness they sit by Ids bedside and endeavor to releive his pain or soothe his anguish, They w rite for him, read for him, and, if requested, pray for him. They also prepare for him those little delicacies so essen cial to his condition, and during his conval escence cheer him with their smiles and guide him by their counsels. The term “Lady mat ron” will hereafter be a syuonyme to many for “Angel ot Mercy.” Communications may be addressed to the Superintendent. Correspondents should in close a return stamp.

We know not whether there is j any truth iu these complaints or not. If true, they should be remedied immediately. If not true, they should be contradicted by authori ty, as the complaiuts have been made rather public. We publish to-day the circular of the A'etc England Soldiers’ Relief Association at Philadelphia. The Superintendent wishes us to call the attention of the community and especially of the New England Aid Societies to the fact that all articles of clothing sent to this association are given directly to the sol- dier. Woolen shirts and stockings are now greatly needed. It is our duty here at home to devise and put iu operation some speedy method of supplying these wants. We have also received from this association a list of Maine soldiers iu the hospitals of Philadelphia and vicinity, which will appear to-morrow and every mouth herealter.

A. Goodwin, Esq., Acting Engineer in charge of the Maine and Massachusetts Eight House Districts.— If Mr. Sumner ever publishes a new edition of his well-known speech on the “Barbarism of Slavery,” we think he can find a new and striking illustration iu the fact that, iu the slaveholders’ rebellion, they destroyed no less than 128 Light Houses, Light Boats, and Bea cons which was the otUcial number so re ported by the Light House Board. ]?Y TELEGRAPH -TO THE ETEKIMG PAPERS.

The evening papers yesterday contained no later telegraphic intelligence from Fredericks burg, and, in fact, not so late intelligence as we gave yesterday morning. The telegraphic reports were accounts of the battle on Friday and Saturday, sent to the New York papers of Monday by special corresjiondents. These rejiorts do not vary from the dispatches we have before published, though more particular in the details. Thu correspondent of the New York Herald sjicaking of the battle of Satur day gives the following account of General Franklin’s attack: Stonewall Jackson occupied the right wing, Lougstreet the centre, Gen. Lee and Stuart the lelt, while Gen. A. P. Hill's corjis acted as the reserve. Lee’s reason for occupying the left was lie cause he could be on his guard against Sigel, who threatened to outflank Him by way of Culpepper. The entire rebel force was estimated at 200,000 men, and occupied a front of not less than 20 miles, The troops were tor the most |iart veterans who hail fought through the pe ninsula campaign, while the officers were the ablest the South could produce. The disposition of the Union forces occupied the whole of Friday night and Saturday morn ing, and Gen. Burnside was anxious to com mence the attack at as early an hour as jiossi ble. Saturday morning came with a dense fog; however, the disjiosition of the Union forces had been made, and Gen. Burnside de termined to commence ojierations, fog or no fog. On the left Franklin moved his column, consisting of the 1st and tith corps, just before sunrise. Skirmishing commenced a few minutes after daylight on the extreme left. A rebel battery opened on our troops, and the Uth New York State Militia regiment was ordered to charge and lake the cannon at the point of the bayo net. The order was obeyed with alacrity, but after a tierce struggle they were compelled to fall back. At this critical moment Gen. Tyler came to their aid with a brigade. Assisted by Tyler's brigade, another attempt was made to storm the rebel batteries, but without success. The tight now became general on the efl ireme ten, atm another desperate enon writ made to capture the rebel battery by General Tyler’s brigade, but the fire of the reltels was so withering in its effect our brave fellows were unable to gain any advantage. By noon, the whole of Franklin's corps en gaged the enemy, and a desperate effort was made to turn the enemy's position and drove him beyond the creek. Gen. Franklin com manded tin; movement in person. The reltels maintained possession of some small hills, but gradually fell back. During the afternoon the reltels came to a stand, and for a time assumed the offensive, but were bravely met and repulsed with heavy loss. It was at this time that some 300 of Hill's command fell into our hands. The enemy contested every foot of ground, and it was only by the hardest kind of fight ing that he would be compelled to change his position. Tlie obstinacy with winch the reltels held possession of their ground rendered General Franklin’s task a very difficult one. He bad to cope with Stonewall Jackson, hut the Union commander was- not discouraged. He had driven the enemy back several roils, and old Stonewall met his match this time,and at sundown Franklin had succeeded in driving the enemy nearly a mile, and his troops occu pied the Held during the remainder of the night. The movement on the left was a com plete success. Z A special correspondent of the Boston Commercial Bulletin took passage for Eng land on the same steamer with Maury and other rebels.

MATTERS ABOUT TOWN. Supreme Judicial Court. CRIMINAL TERM.—EOX, J., PRESIDING. Monday.—In the case of Joseph W. Lamb indicted for arson, in setting tire to the barn of S. M. Baker, Esq., in Windham, the jury returned a verdict of ijuilty. His counsel, Messrs. Howard Strout, then tiled a motion tor the arrest of judgment on the grounds 1st—That the indictment is bad, for duplici ty in setting forth and charging several sepa rate and distinct offenses; not of the same class or nature in character. 12*1—Because the verdict of guilty is gener al upon all the counts in said indictment; while the lirst and second counts are detective and insufficient in law to authorize any judg ment to he rendered thereon—because in nei ther of said two counts is it alleged that the dwelling house (within the curtilage of which the barn, alleged to have been burnt, was situ ated, and, by the burning of which barn in the night time, it was alleged that said bouse was endangered) was occupied by any person, at the time of such alleged burning ol'Buid barn. 8d—Because neither of the counts iu said indictment are good and sufficient in law. A motion for a new trial was also tiled, on tee ground that the verdict was against law and the instructions of the Court; and because it was against the evidence and the weight of evidence in the case. 0.1 »l.n lime for a hearing on these motions. The prisoner was required to furnish sureties in the sum of $3000 for his appearance then.— Court then adjourned to 9 o’clock Tuesday morning, at which time Judge Davis will come in and finish the business of the present term. The second jury has been discharged. There is a case of adultery to come before the first jury. Judge Fox left yesterday for Norridgcwock, to hold the terra fat Somerset County. He has dispatched busuKss with great rapidity in this, his first appearance on the bench in Cum berland County, and has given satisfaction to the members of the bar who have been engag ed before him,while, at the same time, he has evinced the disposition, as far as lies in his power, to protect the comj|Bnity from thieves and scoundrels. y The body of Lieut. Charles H. Colley, Co. B, 10th Maine Regiment, who died in Prince street Hospital, Alexandria, Sept. 27th, was brought to this city, from Washington, yesterday, and forwarded to Gray, his late residence, for interment. 11 will be recollected that some weeks since a body was forwarded to Gray supposed to be that of Lieut. C., but his friends there discovered that it was not. Tnc matter was investigated at Washington, and it was found that the wrong body had been sent, and that the body of Lieut. C., which had beeu embalmed for the purpose of being sent home, still remaiued there. It was immediately forwarded, and arrived here as above stated. -t Olmstkad's Watkk Pkoof Leather Presekveu.—We have used this article for some years, especially in the winter season, j and have found it the best preparation for boots, to render them water proof, that we have ever tried. It not only renders the leath er impervious to water, but also improves the material. There is no danger of wet feet if this article is properly applied to the boot; besides it does not soil the fingers when ap plying it, or the carpet when applied to the soles of the boots. Messrs. Breed Tukey, Union street, have it for sale. New Eating Saloon.—It will be seen by the advertisement that Robinson, who has catered with so much satisfaction to his cus tomers iu the Dirigo Saloon, has opened a new establishment at Nos. 17 A 19 Exchange street, under the name of Merchants Exchange Eating House. He intends to keep his larder j supplied with all the rarieties which can be purchased abroad and at home. The cooking department of Robinson has always been man aged in the best manner, and he is determined his reputation in that respect shall not suffer. Masonic.—At the annual meeting of Mount Vernon Chapter of Royal Arch Masons, last evening, the following officers were elected lor the ensuing year:—Warren Phillips, II. P.; Stephen Berry, K.; Nathan P. Woodbury, S.; J. B. Fillebrown, C. H.; George M. Harding, P. S.; John W. Perkins, R. A. C.; William Ross, Jr., M. 3d V.; William J. Quincy, M. 2d V.; John Q. Twitchell, M. 1st V.; Charles Fobes, Treasurer; Ira Berry, Secretary; A. M. Burton, Oliver Gerrish, Stevens Smith, Standing Committee. E*~Thc Ladies' Committee are desirous of i sending, with the least possible delay, hospi» tal supplies to the Sanitary Commission at Washington, knowi ng the great need of such articles which the recent battles will create.— They have now at their room a large amount of work ready to be made, consisting of flan nel shirts and drawers, and all who can assist are again requested to lend a helping hand. Dec. 10. R. JtyThe readings of Professor Briggs at Mechanics' Hall last evening were admirable, and elicited the hearty applause of the audi ence. We could not perceive that the sound ing board placed over the desk remedmd the echo which prevails in that hall when it is not completely filled. It does not speak well for our city to see such a pleasant and profitable entertainment so poorly attended. jy Dodge had as many as could be packed into Lancaster Hall last evening to listen to hit Pfinr'firt Hi) umi in his liaamioef l.nmne and kept the audience upon the broad laugh. Hay ward sang his ballards superbly, both in melody and style. The concert was a perfect success, and all were satisfied save those who came a little too late, and, thcrefol#, were un able to obtain entrance to the hall. Fkee Hiding.—A fellow calling his name Maglin.last evening took James Collins’ horse and sleigh in Fore street without leave or license, and was having a good ride, when he was unceremoueously stopped by officers Mars ton and Dolley, who conveyed him to the lockup and returned the horse and sleigh to the owner. »-Mr. Ira Winn, who was burnt out in Uniou street a short time since, lias again re sumed business at No. 37 Uniou street, where he will give his attention to the manufacture of steam and gas fittings, er the Bienville mention an expe dition projected against Mobile. The steamer Ericsson and a propeller, both with troops, sailed and left on the 10th. both bound South. The steamer Star of the South, and a large steamer, probably North Star, were passed oil' Edisto by the Bienville. The rebels in the vicinity of Hilton Head have erected powerful batteries on James'and Sullivan’s Islands, and along the west of Bull's Bay. Beauregard was entrenching at Charleston with 40,000 troops under him. i up Health or the troops at Port Royal was excellent. From Fredericksburg—Additional Killed and Wounded. Washington, Dec. 14. Up to midnight no intelligence of impor tance had been received from the army of the Potomac. There was occasional Urine during the day, but it was of little consequence in its results. The taking of several rifle pits yes terday evidently gave rise to the report that the first line of the enemy's works had been taken. A number of wounded arrived to-night, and were conveyed to the several hospitals. An other boat load is on the way. New York. Dec. 15. Among the killed are Capt. John Murry and Capt. James B. Perry,5th New Hampshire;— wounded, Maj. Pitcher, 5th Maine, and report ed killed. The following are the names of additional wounded: Capt. Lovett, lflth Maine: Lieut. Stevens and Lieut. Austin, do.; Privates Cole man. do.; Grindle, do.; J. P. Robinson, do.; E. S. Barker, do.; N. Wheeler, do., foot; R. Grant, 4th Maine, hand. The Free Labor Movement in North Carolina. Nkwbern, N. C., Dec. 10. The free labor movement, which lias been extensively and quickly organized in Eastern North Carolina, is understood to be a prepara tory movement to reorganize the government of the Suite on a loyal basis, so that North Carolina may accept President Lincoln's poli cy of coni|>ensateccial order for Thursday. Sir. Conway offered a series of resolutions, which were tabled 82 against 1, Mr. Conway being the only person voting nay. Mr. Noell of Missouri asked, but did not obtain, leave to oiler the following: Unsolved, That while the Government is en gaged in actual war to suppress unlawful com binations of its citizens iu open rebellion against its constitutional authority, nq person owning allegiance to it have a right, by reason of the fact or his or their beliel of the exist ence of the fact that the war is not prosecuted by legitimate and constitutional means, to withhold his or their support to the efforts of the Government in tlie prosecution of the war, or to resist the enforcement of the laws, rais ing, maintaining and regulating the army and navy, or the laws imposing taxes and burdens for the payment of the expenses of the war; and if any person or persons in the United States, thus owing allegiance, shall, for rea sons or pretended reasons as aforesaid, resist tlie enforcement of such laws, or persuade or incite others to resist them, they ought to be held guilty of a high crime, and punished with deatn or imprisonment in the penitentiary; and that the Committee on the Judiciary be and is hereby instructed to consider tlie pro priety and necessity of providing by law for the punishment of such cases, and report by bill or otherwise. The House passed the Senate joint resolu tion additionally increasing the bonds of the Superintendent of Public Printing 840,000. Itoscoe Conklin of New York introduced a joint resolution, authorizing the Secretary of the Navy to despatch an armed vessel, or should it lie necessary, two vessels, to convoy the starving operatives of England. The res- olution was rejected by a vote of 4t! to 71. Mr. Van Wyck offered the following resolu- tion, which was adopted: Where grievous delays happen in the money i due soldiers, and, therefore, in order to ascer- I tain if any and what legislation may be neces- sary to remedy such delays: Resolved, Tnat the Secretary of the Treas ury be requested to furnish to the House the reasons why the requisitions of the paymas ters of the army are not promptly tilled. Mr. Pomroy of Kansas offered the following: Resolved by the Senate and House of Rep resentatives that the, Secretary of the Treas ury of the United States be and is hereby au thorized and empowered to pay in coin any portion of the bonded public debt maturing and falling due previous to 1st of January. The resolution was referred to the Committee on Ways and Means. Mr. Calvert of Maryland offered a resolu tion, calling on the Secretary of War to fur nish the reports of the Quartermasters for the past three months, concerning the expendi tures for all contrabands so called at Beaufort, S. C. Referred to Committee on Military Af fairs by a vote of 77 against 42. Mr. Pendleton offered the following, and de manded the previous question or its passage: Resolved, That the President of the United States be requested to inform the House if, in his judgment, it is not inconsistent with the public interest, whether, in any oath of allegi ance or parole required to be’ taken by any person now or lately held in custody by the authorities of the United States, there was in serted a clause to the effect that lie should not bring a suit for the recovery of damages for such imprisonment, or that he should not op pose by speech or otherwise the war measures of the Administration. Mr. Gurley of Ohio, offered a resolution, which was adopted, calling upon the Presi dent to furnish all the correspondence between the President and the War Department since the campaign of the Peninsula was under taken. Mr. Kellogg offered a resolution, which was adopted, instructing the committee on Terri tories to Inquire into the expediency of estah lishing a territorial government for that region of country in which are situated the Salmon river gold mines. A resolution was adopted instructing the committee on ays aud Means to inquire in to the expediency of taxing the boats of canal companies. The House then went into Committee of the \Y hole on the State of the Union on the Pres ident's message. Mr. Cox of Ohio, delivered a speech in op position to the conduct ot the administration, and the policy of the republican party in gen eral, arguing that the people in the recent elections had condemned the emancipation act ot the President and other measures. Adjourned. Prom Washington.—Attack upon our Gun boats in tho Rappahannock. YVashinoton," Dec. 15. On YYTednesday evening our gunboats at Port 1 loyal, about twenty-seven miles from Fredericksburg, were tired into by a rebel battery Irotn the shore, supposed to number twenty guns. One of the rebel shots struck a coal schooner, wounding Capt. Masters, who lias since died. Another shot struck the Car rituck on the larboard side, passing into the engine room and wounded II. F. Smith of Rhode Island—since dead; also wounded J. j ;.IWU UIIICIS tmguuy. The llring was very rapid, mid continued un til sundown, when the rebel batteries were silenced. Two schooners, at the commence ment of the tight, were lying directly in range of tlie rebel gnus near the shore, hut were brought otT sulely by the Teaser, Our gun boats laid oil* the shore until morning, when they again attacked the rebel battery, but met with no response. The Postmaster General has rescinded all orders heretofore made exeluding from post ofllces and mails certain papers presented by grand juries and otherwise represented as dis loyal to the Government. Representations having been made to the Commissioner of Internal Revenue that many l>ersoiis who are required by the excise law to use proprietary stamps are neglecting to comply with tlie provision,-the Commissioner has issued a circular instructing collectors to enforce the penalty in all such eases. There was nothing of interest in the Mc Dowell and Porter courts to-day. A Board of Engineers meet in this city to day for the purpose of re|>orting upon the Tlmby revolving iron tower for harbor de fences. The Board consists of Gens. Barnard and Cullum, and Capt. Kelly of the Corps of Engineers. Raid on Poolesville, Md. W ASHIxgton, Dec. 15. East night aliout 8 o’clock, the rebel caval ry under Maj. White, about 395 strong, made a raid iuto Poolesville, Md. They found there .15 men of Col. Scott’s 900, quartered in a wooden huildiim. Alter a brief hut determin ed struggle, and when the building was ou fire, Lieut. Smith and 17 men of Co. E. sur rendered, and were paraded. On our side the loss was one killed and two wounded. The rebels lost two killed and thirteen wounded. Ol course they took everything valuable from the men they paraded, and thoroughly stripp'd the body of Sergeant Stiles, who was, according to the testimony of Col. James B. Swain, one of the bravest men that ever serv ed his country, lie had been ten years in the regular service. Various Items. New Yokk, Dec. 15. The Times’ Washington correspondent states that Gen. Banks has gone to New Orleans, and will there depose Gen. Butler. It is not believed in well informed quarters here that Gen. Banks has landed in North Carolina. Some other of the numerous late expeditions lias undoubtedly been confounded with this. A Fortress Monroe letter states that Ply mouth has been destroyed by fire, hut by what division of the Federal armv is not known. A scouting party from Suffolk had a tight I on Friday at Joiner’s Ford, and captured twenty-two captains and fifteen privates. New York MnrkeU New Yokk. Dec. 15.

M1 SC EL LAX V. An Adventure Down in Dixie. A correspondent writing to the Boston Journal from the IT. S. barque Restless, of the Charleston blockading squadron, relates the following interesting adventure: A little trip to the “main” was made a day or twro since by Master’s Mate James W. Rus sell, of this ship, a brief account of which may prove of some interest to your readers. Our Captain had received information from contrabands thut the mail between Charleston, Santee and Georgetown, passed two or three times a week, in the night, along a road about tlve miles inland, and determined to attempt its capture. Mr. Russell was detailed for this duty, and accordingly started on the afternoon of the 3d inst.. accompanied by two contra bands, called Jerry and Harry, who were ac quainted with the locality. They arrived at the main about sundown, and proceeded to the road where the mail was expected to pass. Close by was the plantation upon which the two contrabands had been slaves, and where their families still lived. One of them was sent to his hut to make inquiries about the mail, and soon returned with another negro, a slave, called Jack, w ho appeared very intelli gent, expressed a desire to la? free, and who offered to aid the enterprise in any way possi ble. Mr. Russell sent him to the mail station j near by, to ascertain what time the mail would pass, and get such other information as he could. Jack showed more shrewdness than many white people would have done. Poul try is sometimes sent by tin? mail carrier.— i Jack boldly entered the station, and inquired what time the mail came, saying he had some chickens to send. He found that it did not j come until the next night. After obtaining I all the information possible, he returned. Mr. Ptiafiftll Hutni'itiinidl In tt flit unil lutinir nsuniux/1 of the negroes on the plantation, and told tha the master and overseer were away, and no one to fear except the driver, was induced to go over to one of the lints to stay until the next night. He was very cordially received, and although it was quite late, a supper of boiled hominy and roast sweet potatoes, the best they had, was immediately prepared. There was soon quite a crowd of slaves col lected in the hut. All had heard of the Pres ident's emancipation proclamation, and made eager inquiries concerning it. They supposed that when Charleston should be taken the proclamation would be enforced. They all wanted to be free. There was among them a very old man, a great-grandfather. Notwith standing his age, he said he was obliged to go Into the field every day to his work or be cow hided. The whip and the one who used it 1 will describe presently. The “best bed,” but not the “spare bed," for there was none, was given to their guest. It was a rough bunk with no lied save the lioards, a hard cotton pillow, and two very'old blankets, which ap peared to have been targets for Berdan’s reg iment. Ail the bedding they possessed was offered to him. A pitch pine knot served the Surpose of a candle. About midnight Mr. [ussell was aroused by a noise in the adjoining hut, where llarry was w ith his family, lie went out and found that the driver, who by some means had become apprised of the re'urn of the two contrabands, Was dragging Harry out of the hut by the throat, and belaboring him with a whip. This driver was a ferocious mulatto, over six feet high, very large, and extremely mus cular and powerful. The w hip lie used, which was made expressly lor him, was of plaited i cowhide, about ten feet lone, and one and a half inches in diameter at the butt, gradually tapering to the end. This whip was after wards obtained and brought away as a trophy. j Mr. Russell did not wish himself to lie seen, be cause it might frustrate his mail enterprise the next night., and so kept himself concealed for a while, but soon found it necessary to j interfere, which he did by coming forward and leveling a revolver at the driver’s head, caus- iug him to drop both Harry and the whip, and run for his life. Mr. Russell thought it about time to leave, and taking the three contrabands started for his boat and rowed to Bull’s Island. He now concluded that there was still a chance for ttie mail, provided he made a bold push in the day time. A sharp lookout would be kept at the landing the next night. He star- I ted back again at noon, arrived at the lauding about 4 o'clock, left Jack in charge of the boat, with orders to keep concealed, and with the other two contrabands made his way back through the woods to the road, arriving before dark. Here lie remained concealed until aliout half-past 10 o'clock, when the mail came along. It was carried by one man, with a horse and sulky. Mr. Russell,having stationed the two negroes, jumped out into the road with a pistol and commanded the man to stop. He reined up at once, and asked what for. He was as sured he would not lie harmed, and told he would save all further trouble by alighting. He wanted to know by what authority he w as stopped. “By authority of the United Slates Goverment.” Thank God!" said the man, and jumped out, “lam glad of it. I hare wanted a rhanre like this for some time.” After searching the man and his sulky, Mr. Russell tied the horse to a tree near the road aud proceeded w ith the man and his mail hags toward the boat. Upon arriving at the spot four mounted pickets were discovered a lew feet in advance, oil the watch. Mr. Russell's party concealed themselves until daybreak, When the pickets rode away. Upon giving the agreed signal, Jack, the new contraband, w ho had faithfully remained by the boat since the i preceding afternoon made his appearance, and a puli of a few hours brought them safely to the ship. The gunboat "flag" happened to be in sight, and the man and the mail bags were immediately dispatched to the Hag ship of the squadron. The contents of the mail, which was a large one, were not ascertained at the time, but Charleston papers of the4th(tbe duy the mail was taken)were obtained. They con tain very little uews. r A good deal of information was obtained from the mail carrier. I should judge him to hp mirul rpnrpspiitjit ivi» nf tlu* nmru int..lli_ geut portion of the poor whites of the South. He was over forty years of age, was born in Charleston, and had never been more than six ty miles from that city in his life. He said he liked the South for it had been his home, but now there was no chance for a poor white man, and lie was glad to leave. There were mauy others who felt as he did, but many be lieved if they should cotne within our power, they would lie imprisoned anil otherwise abus ed, and perhaps killed. The farmers in that vicinity believe that if Charleston is taken they will be driven away, their slaves liberated, and their lands confiscated. This carrier, of course, would have been compelled to join the army, had lie not been engaged in carrying the mail, which the law' will not allow to be car ried by a negro. Notice.

TO'O Organs of the human system are more impor tant to health and comfort than the Eye and Ear, and yet uonc are 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 and rare discovery, which it most wonder ful in its operations, putting to blush the old systems j of treatment, which have quite as often done harm as good. Below we give the certificate of Rev. P. 8. Hen»on, Pastor of the Broad Street Baptist Church, 1 Philadelphia. If auy 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 iujnries received in my right eye, w hen a boy, a chrouic inflammation had been produced, in consequence of which I suffered constant martyr 1 doin. Every moment of my wakiug life was embit tered, and I was frequently unable to sleep at night. A variety of remedies had been resorted to with out success, and I entertained the purpose, as a last j resort, of having the ball taken out of its socket, in j the hope of thus finding relief. In the meantime, most providentially. I noticed one day iu a shop window a bottle of POOR RICH j ARD’S EYE WATER. 1 had never heard ol it be 1 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 bear the strongest light, and went forth to the enjoyment of a new life. I now keep a bottle of it always in the house, and if 1 my eye seems at all disposed to annoy me. I give It a I dose, and that is an end of it. 1 would not be 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 iu and over her eye*, and she has found Poor Richard’* Eye Water a sov j 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.
