Letter from the Rappahannock 2d Corps D'Armee, 1 Near Falmouth, Va., Jan. 27,1863. To the Editort of the Daily Pretie: Yesterday we were startled by the news that Burnside had been relieved, and that Hooker had been put in command of this ar my; also, that Sumner and Franklin had been relieved at their own request. To-day came the order of Burnside on taking leave and that of Hooker on assuming the new position. The telegraph will have announced these facts and given the orders belore this letter reaches you. Many in our country will tie more hopeful for the success of this army than hitherto.— Some will watch with Intenser nnxiety than ever belore. But my business is with the ar my, and you ask with eagerness, “How does the army fee) A degree of sadness followed the first an nouncement, probably at the loss of three of ficers with whom we ham long beeu connect ed, and toward whom we have entertained feelings of respect and affection. To us of the 2d Corps it seemed saddest of all to part from the beloved commander of our grand division, who, during so many months of ex treme toil, hardship and danger, was our head and leader. An attachment most natural springs up between those associated in these trying scenes. Some of these hardened sold iers of many battles shed tears yesterday, at the thought of the old General bidding us a final adieu. We, would all prefer to go West with him, if he is to have a command there. Franklin is respected by all, and doubtless is beloved by the troops of his own division. The hand of Providence seems lifted against Burnside. All, high and low, were confident of the success of his plan in the late move ment. But the storm said unmistakeably, “Thou shall go no further!” And, after this second failure, it was better to have a change. Some portions of this army were not by any means pre-disposed in favor of Burnside when he took the command. They were doubly dissatisfied with his ill-success. The com manding general must have the hearty sup port of bis officers and men. No military principle is more evident. If he can carry their enthusiasm with him, so much the better. Only a portion of this army ever exhibited en thusiasm for Gen. Burnside. It is a gloomy time for a new commander; but all consider it a more auspicious season for Gen. Hooker than it was for Burnside. The transition is easier than it was in the other change. Some, perhaps the greater part of the army.will be more hopeful at the start, and with a little success will give to Gen. Hooker a mom rnrHifll atmttnrt than lita >>rurliHiarir nil. er enjoyed. Every true patriot will hope for the best as well as do. It is the next thing to treason to t>e depressed and disheartened. The disloyal press does more barm by its discouraging mid com plaining than by open disapproval of Govern ment measures. Gen. Hooker is in Washington to day. This brings Gen. Couch in command of the army, Gen. Sedgwick of the right grand division, Gen. Howard of this corps. If the grand divi sion organization is retained (which is hardly ?robable, as it was a measure of Burnside's sole y) Ge.n. Couch will be at the head of it, with Sedgwick as heretofore in command of the 9th and Howard of the 2d corps. It is raining to-night as it has been more or less tor three days. The rebels have plowed the fields opposite the poiut just above Fal mouth, where it was intended to cross with a part of this army, iu order, it is supposed, to increase the depth of mud. They are throwing up works for artillery opposite the town of Falmouth close down by the river’s bank. It is a matter of debate, whether we shall throw a shell or two into them or not. They ought not to be allowed to construct forts or redoubts within rifle-shot of our liDes. We will wait and see what Hooker will do. He is believed to be a lire General; and we are to consider him discreet till there is proof to the contrary. It la reported iu some newspapers that ma ny men were lost by the late march, worn out and made sick by the storm. This army has made many harder marches, and in storms equally threatening to die health. It is a mis take that sickness has so greatly increased. The troops came back in comparatively good spirits—far different from the feeling after a disastrous battle. Col. Sewall, of tbe 19th Maine, has returned improved in health. He Is now in command of the 1st brigade of the 2d division. Weih. Playing at War. To the Editors of the Press: I believe It is CaTlvle, who in giving some account of the Knglhh Revolution of 1032,says, in substance of Essex and other Parliamenta ry generals who commanded in the beginning of the civil war that “except being defeated themselves, there was nothing they dreaded to much as gaining a decisive victory over the king.” They wished only to give him such gende castigation as could Induce him to give up some of his absolutist pretensions; and compromise the matters in dispute. They did not wish any important revolution in the gov ernment such as would raise the people and diminish the power of the aristocracy. The consequence was that the cause of civil lilwrty came near failing, and would have failed en tirely, if men whose heart was in the cause had not risen to the command of the armies after the first two years. To one who has “kept the run” of men and events, as revealed in the newspapers, with the advantage of an occasional peep behind the curtain, it is evident that something very like the above has occurred in our present contest. While we have had some outright traitors—and probably more titan we know of at present,—there have been those among the officers who were only willing to fight to re store the “Union as it was” with slavery pre dominant,—were willing to fight the South tenderly till they were disposed to make some compromise and come back to the Union as be fore. Indeed, I suppose the President and nearly all his generals intended,if possible, to restore the Union with slavery, only shorn of some of i its pretensions in the way of extension. But the President and some of his generals have become convinced that such a tiling is beyond their power. They are true to the country, let slavery fare as It may. This is true ofsuch Democrats as Hunter, Butler, and Burnside— and how many others I do not know. But it is not so with all. They may lie true to their country and the Union frith sltirrryf but they do not wish to do anything against slavery as a means of restoring the Union. They do not wish for a decisive crushing victory over the Confederates. They prefer that the con test shall continue indecisive until the North becomes so wearied as to be willing to accept almost any terms of peace. I believe the President dismissed a subordinate officer some months since, who indiscreetly toldthe plans of his betters. Perhaps there has been no defi nite plan. But it is hardly possible not to sup pose that some of our generals would prefer to prolong the war rather than end it by eman cipation. We shall cease to wonder at the failure of the army of the Potomac to fulfil the reasona ble expectations of the people, if we ever come to know fully, the spirit of manyml its gener als. It is not so much the lack of ability as of heart that has caused the failure. If the history of the war shall ever lie written by one who like Macaulay, or Motley, can trace the motives of the actors, it will be far more in teresting than the history of battles, strategy and the like. An item in last Thursday's Press informs us that “eighty army officers are to be dismissed from the service lor offenses against army reg ulations, by the use of improper language in reference to their superiors and the command er-in-chief, Ac.” There is no allusion to slav ery, nor any intimation that their opinions of slavery had anyhing to do with inspiring their language; but one might venture to affirm that nine tenths of them were afflicted with “uigger on the brain.” L.

This cylinder Is to be cast on end, in dry sand moulds.and'is to be 72 inches high, with au elliptical base ol 24 iuebes greater aud 16 niches lesser axis. The specimens are to be cut from the gun head, a d a slab. 4j inches thick, from the cyliuder hy planes parallel to. and equi-distant from the axis ol the cyliuder, aud the leaser axis of the base. The Ordnance Department will test the specimens, furnish the ammunition, aud prove the t• ial gun, which must be ready for trial as soon as possible, and not later thau throe months from the date of the con tract. No contract will be giveu, nor will the trial gun be paid for, unleas it shall endure a proof of 1000 rounds, with service charges of pow der, of which 2u(J rounds will be with solid shot, and 800 rounds w ifb shells. The testing is to be done free of charge to the contractor, but he will be required to furnish proper facilities for testing, such as convenient ground, stor age lor ammunition, a butt iu which the projectiles will be emfredded aud sav ed, and the requisite force for handling and tiring the guns. All the cannon are to be made of the same qualitv of iron as that of the trial gun, aud the Ordnance Department is to have the right to test the iron during the process of fabri- j cation of the caunon, lor which purpose the founder is to furnish, free of charge, at least one siiecinioo Irom the head of each cauuou. and slabs Irom cvlin aerv, a* ociore aescnoea, at the option ol the De- partment. uot to except one for every ten caunon. Kacli cannon is to endure the regular proof and iu- spection for guns of the same calibre; and none are 1 to be received or paid for but sucii as are approved after imqtectiou and proof, which will l»e received at the foundry where made. Bidders will state the num bers aud calibers of the caunon tliey propose to fur- nidi on the foregoing specifications aud conditions; the place where they are to be made; the tiineot coni- mciicing delivery and the rate of delivery per mouth thereafter, aud the price per poaiid or per gun, for the finished cauuou. No bids will be entertained unless from founders actually engaged iu the busi ness, evidence of which must accompany the bid. Failure to deliver at the specified lime will subject the contractor to a forfeiture of the amount to be de livered at that time. Each party obtaining a contract will be required to euter into bonds, with proper su reties, for its faithful fulfilment; and a transfer of the I contract to another party w ill cause its entire forfeit ure Bidders will be required to file with their bids i a bond iu the penal sum of uot less than fiao.OOO, signed by not less than two persons, conditioned that if the bid is accepted, the bidder shall comply with his proposal, ami faithfully aud fully perfurm what he proposes to undertake. The bond must be ac knowledge! before ajudge of a court of record, and the bondsmen must be certified by the Judge of a District Court of the United States, or an Ordnance officer in charge of a United States arsenal, to be each worth the penal suin of the bond over aud above all liabilities. The right is reserved to reject all pro posals if the prices are deemed too high, or if for any cause it is not deemed for the public interest to oc* cent them. *l£?P5**j* ***led and addressed to “General Chief of Ordnance.

THE DAILY PRESS. PORTLAND, MAINE Tuesday Morning* February 3* 1803.

The Portland Daily Press has the largest regular circulation of any daily paper in the city. _ The National Finances. Will the reader, whose peace of mind has been disturbed by the quotations of American gold at a premium of more than 00 per cent, and by financial articles in the opposition newspapers, if sucli reader there be, please notice the following extract from the New York Independent, carefully weigli the state ments, aud finding them true see if he cannot realize that gold is not now a standard of val ues in the country: What are the facts iu relation to our so called depreciated currency Will it not buy bread at lair prices? Certainly. Are not the necessaries of lile, as a whole, as much within the reach of the poor as during any one of the past twenty years? All things considered, this is undoubtedly true. There never was a time, probably, when old and young, male and female, all over tlie free Suites, were more prosperous and coinfoi table Ilian now. Every human being who has strength to labor, can find profitable employment either at home, or in the service of his country. A bundled dol lars of paper currency will to-day purchase a better horse, or yoke of oxen, than could have been bought with the same amount of gold before the war. The same is true of many other things. Secretary Chase in his report says: Whe it, quoted at 81 38 to 81 43 per bushel on the 1st of November, 1861, was quoted at fl 43 to 81 5!) on the 1st of November, 1862. rime mess pork, on the 1st of November, 1861, was quoted at 813 to 813 30 per barrel, and on the 1st of November, 1862, at 812 30 to 813.— Corn sold on the 1st of November, 1861, at 62 to 63 cents per bushel, and on the 1st of November, 1862, at 71 to 73 cents. A comparison between the prices of hay, beef, and some other staples of domestic produce at the two dates, exhibits similar conditions of actual depression in price or moderate rise. We affirm that, thus far, we have no reason whatever, to complain of extraordinary em barrassments or suffering. There have been none. Men have lost their property in conse quence of tlie rebellion. So did thousands and tens ot thousands iu the crisis of '57 and of '87, when we were at peace. No extraordi nary disturbance in our political affairs can ever take place without more or less pecuniary loss in all business circles. That is inevitable. The North have demonstrated to the world that there is money enough and men enough to crush the rebellion. All that is necessary Is to have more union, more determination, more Napoleonic courage. One word to Ma |or-Generais: attention the whole! We must have victories now in order to open money vaults. We must have victories in order to reinspire our capitalists. We must have vic tories to give the Government a credit with the people, and adequate to the emergency. We must have victories if we would save this God-favored nation from the hand of an in fernal couspiralor, and from financial destruc tion. xnwt vine, we uu neeu viv:bune». dui while waiting for them there is another useful lesson to learn. Having seen that in spite of the reckless assertions of irresponsible writers no actual distress occasioned by the state of the currency does as yet exist, the question still arises. Can the country carry tiiis enor mous load of debt? This is a historical ques tion. We might well tremble, if our present experience were unprecedented. Is it so? Mr. Charles J. Stille, in a pamphlet, which professes on its title page to teacli “How a Free People conduct a Long War,” traces the history of the English Peninsular war, the en thusiasm and unanimity of its beginning, the disappointment and gloom of its progress, the development ol a virulent and insane pui q or opposition, aud the glorious couclusiou which overwhelmed them. We quote that part of this Instructive parallel, wbicli treats ol the financial di Acuities of a loug w ar. They arc not inscpurablc: that is the lesson of history: We pass now to the consideration of anoth er class of dilticullies Inherent iu the prosecu tion ol every war, aud generally of lar greater magnitude Ilian any oilier—liiose connected Wtih the raising of the vast sums of money re ?Hired lor the support of military operations. u tliis important matter, it we mistake not, there are some striking points of resemblance between the English experience during the war, and our present situation. It is the fash ion among many w ho seek to excite the pub lic alarm on this subject from unworthy, and sometimes, it may be feared, from treason able motives, to represent the enormous out lay of the nation's wealth which is poured out to save the nation's lile, as wholly unparalleled iu history. Yet it may be asserted, without any fear of contradiction, that England, with a population then little more than hail of that which now inhabits our loyal Stales, with re sources infinitely less iu proportion at that time than her own, her manufacturing indus try, so far as external outlet was concerned, wholly crippled by the operation of tile French continental system and her own Orders iu Connell) expended,during every year of the Peninsular war, ys large an annual sum as has been required bore each year to create ami keep up tlie gigantic force now in arms to put down the tehellion. During the five years that the war lasted, her average annual expendi ture exceeded ninety milliuiis of pounds ster ling, or four hundred and fifty millions of dol lars, which is about the sum which is demand ed of us. No one, of course, pretends to say that this rate of expenditure is not appalling, yet it concerns us to know that it is not un precedented, aud that these vast amounts have been raised from national resources far interi or to our own. It should not be forgotten, al so, that they represent the money price of Eng land's independence, and if ours is secured by a far greater outlay, we certainly are not dis posed to quarrel with the wisdom of the in vestment. The question is, how were these immense sums raised in England The mac. who would have predicted, at the commence ment of the war with Frauce, that the Eng lish national debt would at its close exceed vuc i-huusuimi in1111iis oi sterling, ana that the country would be able to tiear such a burden, would have been regarded as a vision ary as wild us he who in this country, two years ago, might h ave foretold the present amount of oui national debt, and have con tended that, in spite of it, the public crealit would remain unimpaired. The difficulty iu England of raising tliawe vast sums was ten fold greater than it is here. Napoleon, looking upon England as the Southern pimple have been taught to regard tis. as a purely com mercial nation, undoubtedly placeil more reli ance lor ultimate success upon the instinct of money getting, which would shrink from the pecuniary sacrifices necessary in a prolonged struggle, thau upon the mere victories of his army. Ilena-e lie pursued, during his wlmle career, an indexible purpose of ruining Eng lish commerce, ami by u series of measures known as the Continental system, endeavored to excluale English ships and English products from the markets of the world. The effect of these measures, although not so serious as lie wished and had anticipated, nevertheless crip pled enormously the resources of England Just at the period when they were most need ed. Taking the three years before the issuing of the Orders in Council and the vigorous en forcement of the Continental system, which were coincident in point of time with the com mencement of the Spanish war, the average annual exports sank from fifty-seven millions to twenty-three millions, taking the average ol three years after they bad laeeii in operation. 'Faxes wa-re laial on at a burdensome rate. The income tax was ten per cent.,and besides, speeitlc war taxi s amounting to more than twenty millions a year were imposed. Nnt withstaniling all these taxes, the debt increas ed beyond the anqual income more than one thousand millions of dollars duriug the Penin sular war. Discontent and violence among the laboring classes liecame universal, and it was remarked that tile achievement of t|ae great est victories in Spain was celebrated in Eng land '‘amidst a population who hail been pre vented by the burden of taxation on the abso lute necessaries ot life, from securing a liveli hood by the strictest industry, and thus pau perism had been generated throughout the land—a pauperism aggravated by a spirit ol 1 pillage, which it required a strong military force to repress." Bankruptcy and ruin fell up on the trading classes, and absolute exhaustion of the resources of the country seemed almost readied. The public stocks had sunk to such a degree that the three per cents., which are now always above ninety per cent., were rarely higher during the war than sixty-flve percent., and so depressed at last had the public credit become, that the last loan of the Continental war, that of April 1815, was taken by the con tractor at fifty-three per cent., and paid for in the depreciated paper of the day, and yet the Chancellor of the Exchequer was congratula ted even by the opposition for having made "a good operation.” The bank was in a state of chronic suspension, the buying and selling of gold were prohibited to the the public under severe penalties, and yet every gold guinea which was sent by the government to the ar my in Spain (and nothing else would answer the purpose of money in that country) cost thirty per cent, premium. How England sur vived all this complication of troubles Is one of the marvel* of history, but it is not our pur pose to discuss that question. The great fact that the money was raised somehow, is all we have to do with it at present. When we have been at war twenty years, and are forced, in order to carry it on, to one tithe of the sacri wtiich were endured by the English, we may then perhaps begin seriously to consider the money velue of the Union.” Letter from the State Capital, Augusta, Jan. 31,1863. An amusing scene occurred in the House yesterday. By special assignment the report ofthe Committee on Elections in the Yarmouth case came up for consideration. It was ac cepted. Capt. Merrill was declared, elected appeared, was qualified and took his seat. Af terwards Sir. Page from Berwick asked leave to present the minority report on the same case. The speaker said it could be received and read only by the unanimous consent of the House. Mr. Hayden thought it would be of no earthly use now that the report of the Com mittee had la-en accepted. Mr. Page said he was out of the hall when the matter w as de cided, but thought the House ought lobe will ing to listen even now. A member moved to adjourn, but the speaker ruled the motion out ol order and the clerk with a despairing look was about beginning upon the task of reading through the voluminous document when the stern voice of the honest old Puritan from Newberg was heard saying “I object.” This was a final estoppel of all proceedings. The House immediately adjoined and Mr. Page wore anything but his usual amiable look when he came to the Clerk’s desk and took away his rejected pet. In the Senate, Mr. Wiggin is following up with great perti nacity in efforts to discover the reasons why Got. Washburn did not commission the officers of the ununiformed militia elected last year. The answers from the Adjutant General and Secretary of State in response to his orders do not seem to be satisfactory and he is now call ing upon the Governor. What peculiar im portance attaches to this question in his mind we are unable to imagine, but he w ill probably persevere in his searcli after knowledge un der difficulties, until all the State officers have been formally catechised in turn. It political capital be his aim lie will probably be some what disappointed in his expectations. Jokathajv. The Voice ot Freedom. To the Editors of the Press: I see by your paper of Sutnrday that the Augusta Age says the senatorial bully, Salis bury from Delaware “was squelched out for “speaking in uncomplimentary terms of Presi dent Lincoln, and rai-ed the pertinent inqui "ry whether the voice of freedom is stilled iu “the U. S. Senate.” That your readers, at least, may see what sort of a character was “suuelched out” for raising the “voice of freedom,” as the Age is pleased to term the mite of a drunkard in the U. S. Senate, I send you for publication the following notice ol the disgraceful scene, from the correspondent of the Philadelphia Inquirer of the 2Sth iusL: After Senator Saulsbury’s final arrest on Tues day night he was taken iu a cab to his residence, though considerable force had to Ire used tine of the officers was thrown violently to the floor before he was willing to go home. On Wednes day morning he made his appearance in the Senate about nine o'clock. Hie. fitst inquiry was for ids revolver, which he was unable to find, it having been taken from hitn and put away. He was still laboring under the influ ence of liquor, and soon went up to his commit tee room, where he had considerable quantity in store, and imbibed again freely. He remarked to oue of the officers that he had been drinking too much sherry last night, and it had gut into his head, hut lie did nut care a d-. Ilia voice to-Jay (Wednesday) is thick, and lie seems very sullen. Two officers remain near him, and it is not feared that he will commit any violence upon the Senators, unless he again gets too much “sherry.” It is not probable that he will be expelled, but he will, no doubt, be severely censured liy resolutions. He sits next behind Senator Wall of New Jersey, with whom he is in conversation most of the time. After he hail replied to the resolution to expel him to-day, he put his hands into his coat (iock ets and started across to the Republican side of 1 the Senate. A nuuitier of members kept an eye on him, and one or two officers suddenly found business across the floor also. W lien near Sena tor Dixon lie leaned over and spoke to him. No apparent attention was paid to his remark by the Senator, and he went hack to his seat; in a few j minutes he left, with Senator Wall, for the“side room.” The galleries have been crowded all day, ev ery one pointing toward him from ail parts of the galleries. Senator Siulsbury was conveyel from the Senate to his home this afterm on, in a state of high nervous excitement, bordering on conges tion of the brain.

Pretty Son of New England must be the pub lisher of that paper. Aliout two-thirds of nfi Iowa regi meut, called “Grey Beards,” are professors of religion, and between twenty and thirty are ordained ministers, and United Brethren. A powerful religious influence is saiil to be ex erted by tliis regiment, which is doing garri son duty at St. Louis. John II. George of Concord, in his let ter accepting a Democratic nomination for Congress, uses the following language which we copy to show the spirit of the opposition in the Granite State: “I can only regard the “Emancipation Proclamation as disgraceful in “its futility, disastrous in its policy, palpable “in its violation of the Constitution, and atro cious n its purposes.” jy* The new democratic paper at Ports mouth says “a white soldier was hung at For tress Monroe last Friday, for shooting a negro some three months ago. If the negro had shot the soldier, this abolition Congress would probably liave voted him a gold medal.” Who can doubt that the author of this smart re mark would gladly adopt the Southern code, and recognize no rights iu a negro that a white man is bound to respect. The editor of the Brunswick Tele graph is fair, rery fair. Referring to Gen. Fitz John Porter, he says, “We cannot ar “raign the verdict, for, of course we do not “know upon what or how much evidence it “was based,”—and then he goes on to inti mate the opinion that tlie sentence is not only “unwarranted” but “grossly unjus',” basing that opinion on “the general teuor of the evi dence,”—of which he had confessed his igno rance,—lor and against; that he has fallen a victim to Pope while “worth a dozen of such braggarts,” and says he must be furnished with more evidence to make him believe Porter “failed to do his duty even at the bidding of “so poor a creature as John Pope.” Pope was a “poor creature” because he tried hard to whip the rebels, and would have done so but for the treachery of just such men as Porter. But then the Telegraph as-aiis the vigorous fighter and the vindicated General, ami takes sides with one convicted by hi- peers of fail ing to support his superior; and who will say the Telegraph is not a loyal paper!

He expects to be enabled to receive a few more pupils at tbo end of the present term, March 1st. The professor thanks most heartily the community for the lurge. intelligent, and refined patronage be stowed upon him. lie knows that he owes iu part i hi© success to the fhet that he Hi. not onh the solo French teacher educated Hi Ps ris (France) but even the only Frenchman teaching in Portland. Tbe re markable proficiency in speaking French attained by his pupils, must be reckoned also as one of its causes. It is a difficult thing to teach properly a modern isa fuage: peculiar qualifications are necessary. Tbo reach language, like all modern languages, goes through perpetual transformations; benee its rules cannot present that clearness and that precision of dead languages. Often dHRcnHies occur Which gram mar cannot solve: the professor is then guided, eith er by the sound or tbe custom; this is nnn of tha stumbling blocks of tbe American or Hwiss teacher. Again, the multiplicity of the rules of French syn tax. offor no little perplexity A good teacher ought to know which rule© he must use, which on ©a he must reject; he will avoid thus confusing the mind of his pupil. Only the teacher of French birth aud education cun make a Judicious selection. Here is the kev of the success of Prof. Henri Da com. The pupil knows he has with him a aafo guide in all difficulties. What must be tbe thoughts of a student taking'Ieseons of a teacher whose abilities he doubts! Very likely those of a man employing tw# or throe hours a week in throwiug quarters into the sea. teb 3—dl w _ J THE PORTLAND COLLEGE, -LOCATED 131 Clupp's Block.Cougres* St IS an important link in Bryasit.

HATTERS ABOUT TOWN. Supreme Judicial Court. JANUARY TERM—CUTTING J., PRESIDING. Monday.—No. 65. Edwin S. Hovey v. Wil liam Chase. Writ of Entry. Tills is one of the numerous suits brought by plaintiff to recover possession of the lot of land on State, Pine and Winter streets, formerly known as the “Mellen lot,’’ now covered with residences. The plaintiff claims under title of a quitclaim deed from Mrs. Oliver Dennett in 1858, who claims the property as the heir of the late Stephen Neal Neal sold the property In 1835 to Samuel E. Crocker, and subsequently It passed from Crocker to others by sundry mesne convey ances to different parties, and then to the pres ent owners. It is contended by the plaiutiff that at the time of the conveyance by Neal to Crocker, he was non compos mentis, and therefore not competent to execute a deed or to sell the property. The case was opened by A. Merrill, Esq., for plaintiff, and evideuce was put in as to the title of Mrs. Dennett to the property ss the heir of Stephen Neal. The plaiutiff stopped here. H. P. Deane, Esq., opened the case for defendant, and put in the deed from Stephen Neal to Samuel E. Crocker dated July, 1835* and here the defense stopped. Plaintiff then put in the record of the Board of Aldermen of the City of Portland and the proceedings 1 of the Probate Court in 1834 placing Mr. Neal under guardianship, and stopped again. The defendant then put in the decree of the Pro bate Court in Sept, 1834, removing the guar dian and discharging the guardianship, and stopped. Judge Cutting remarked that this seemed like fighting on the Potomac. Counsel for plaintiff then went to work upon the real merits of the case, and put in several deposi tions to show the state of mind of Jlr. Neal in 1834-35. After these depositions had been read Court adjourned toOo'ciock Tuesday morning. J. C. Woodman, John Hand, A. Merrill. Ii. P. Deane. £y~The following packages were sent to our soldiers and the U. S. Sanitary Commission yesterday: One box from South Parsonfleld, one barrel from Auburn, one from Rev. Mrs. J. A.

A Pi.ea.saxt Time.—Engine Co. No. 9, (Pacific I had a very pleasant sit dowu at Knights’ in Union Street, last evening, at the invitation of their officers. After refreshing themselves with oysters and other good things, remarks were made by 1st Director George H. Davis, Chief Engineer H. C. Barnes, Mr. Neal, on« of the members, Mr. Lincoln of the Press and others. This engine is located on Munjoy, and the members are always ready at an alarm. The company has obtained a good name and repu tation for its promptness, and it means to maintain it. It has seen a great deal of hard service not only in the locality where the en gine is situated but also in other more remote parts of the city. Its officers are George II. Davis, 1st Director: George Gray,2d Direc tor; George Griffin, Clerk. nr Habeas Conn s Case.—In the U. S. i District Court yesterday, before Judge Ware, Andrew F. Ayer, of Mexico, a private in Co. F, 7th Maine regiment, was brought up on a writ of habeas corpus, issued at the ret; nest of his father, who prayed for the discharge of his son on the ground that he enlisted more than six months before he was 18 years of age, in August, 1861, and without the consent of the father. These facts being made to appear, Judge Ware ordered biin to be discharged from his enlistment. J. C. Woodman for petition er. Wit will be seen by referring to our ad- I vertising columns that Mr. Samuel Bell (for merly Bell A Eider,) has returned to this city, after an absence of two or three years, and has taken the store in the Cushman Block, formerly occupied by T. 8. Files, where he has opened a first class stock of Boots,Shoes, and all arti cles in that line. He intends to deserve and we hope he will receive a liberal p&lrouage. The Babboch Block.—The lease of the land upon which this block is situated ltaviug expired, the owner of the block, Mr. II. N. Jose, has purchased the land at an appraise ment. We are informed that this lot of land has been in the Barbour family for oue hun dred and one years; we doubt if a title so old can be shown in our city to any other piece of land to near the centre of business as this. BJ-HYe understand that a large and pleas ant party ot ladies and gentlemen, of the Uni versalist Parish, propose a sleigh ride to Gor ham this afternoon, where a bountiful supper j and a general good lime awaits them. Robin son’s mammoth sleigh has been engaged for the occasion.

We understand that Major General McClellan has declined to accept the invitation extended to him to visit Portland. JfWe call the attention of our readers to the card of that excelleut teacher and genuine Frenchman, professor Henri Ducom. The Augusta Age descends to the in effable meanness of quoting from Senator Douglas, Dec. 1860, that “the south would take “my propositions if the Republicans would “agree to it," when all the circumstances go to show that Mr. Douglas nerer said a word of the kind, and that the newly .developed letter containing the language quoted, it a bate forgery. Mr. Douglas, in May 1861, ut tered words which show that he never could have entertained any such opinion, and not entertaiuing it, he never could have uttered it. The Age pretended friendliness to Doug, las, but its present course offers the most dam ning contempt to his memory. BY TELEGRAPH. TO THE Portland Daily Press. FROM FORTRESS MONROE. Items from Richmond Papers. Jeff. Davit’ Retaliatory Message probably Killed in the Confederate Congress. Rebel Account of the Sinking of the Hatteras. Reported Recapture of Holly Springs by the Rebels. Fortress Mon roe, Feb. 1. Tlie Richmond Dispatch says appearauces indicate an early renewal of the tight before Vicksburg. Five thousand Yankees are work ing in the canal opposite the city. Their in tention is to float transports through when the river rises, and land their troops below. Tho force of the enemy's fleet is ltfi boats, includ ing 14 gunboats. There u.uy be more arrivals of gunboats before the light begins. The strength of the army will probably uot reach 80,000. On the 27th ult., a bombardment took place atForlMc.\ilister,al the noulh of theOgechee river, 20 miles south of the Savannah river.— Only one iron clad was engaged, and was forced to haul off, her turret being injured.— Our solid siiot broke into pieces as they struck: her sides. The Dispatch says Reed Saundet'9 was cap tureifby being betrayed by the crew of his yacht. As soon as they got out of CharlesU.il harbor the crew tied him and steered for the fleet, and delivered him to the Yankees. This accounts lor liisylispalclics not being sent to the bottom of the sea. Tlie rebels are now driven beyond the Black water, and as liir as is known all in quiet iu that direction. Col. Ludlow, United States commissioner for exchange of prisoners, has just returned from City Point. He has made arrangements for tiie exchange of citizen prisoners, and is of the Opinion that Jell. Davis’ retaliatory proposition to deliver over all the United Slates officers to the authorities of the State* where captured, which is in gross violation o the cartel, will not he approved by tile rebel Congress, which is now acting upon it. Th* result will lie known in a few days. We now hold more officers than the rebels. Col. Lud low has earnestly protested against llie rebels permitting the authorities of any Slate to ap ply the o|M'i ation of the State laws to any cap tured officers or men iu the service of the United States. Richmond papers have been received here to Jan. 31st. tine of them says: It is impos sible that the Florida could have been the ves sel which sunk the United States gunboat Ilatleras, as she did not leave Mobile until the night of the lf»th inst., and the Hatteras was sunk on the lltli. We have reliable informa tion that the vessel that did sink liur was the British man-of-war Spitfire, as the captain in dicated in his reply to the Yankee commander. It. may be that Com. Wilkes wearied out British endurance by his extraordinary block ade at Nassau and other points, and that orders had been issued which resulted in this naval engagement. At a meeting at Halifax Court House on Monday last, Thomas S. Flourney was nomi nated as a candidate for the next Governor o. Virginia Chattanooga, Trnn., Jan. 30.—It Is reported that Gen. Van Dorn has re-captured Holly Springs, Miss., with 100 prisoners and a quan tity of army rations. Reception of General McClellan in Boston. Death of a Reporter of the Boston Press. Bostok, Feb. 2.

Shortly before noon the officers of tins army, including many wounded, paid their respects to the General in a body. Next th* city government, headed by Mayor Lincoln, were introduced. In the meantime the half and reception parlors of the hotel were rapidly being tilled, and a crowd of seven to ten thous and |ienplc gathered in the vicinity. A strong force of policemen preserved order, aud so Ian as the limited space in the hotel would admit the crowd were allowed to press through am shake the (feneral s hand. Some ladies man aged to enter with the crowd, and severs w ounded soldiers. To the latter Gen. McClel lati addressed special words of syinpalhy. The reception closed at 3 o'clock, but In rt spouse to urgent demands from the muss wh were unable to enter the building, the Genen appeurvd for a few minutes on tile portico the hotel and bowed his thanks. He was et thusiastieaily cheered. To-morrow he wil visit Lawrence. Special invitations from th people of Portland, also of Concord, N. H have been received by Gen. McClellan to vis. those cities. Fattier Taylor, the well known sailor' preacher, stid, as he shook hands with th General, “God bless the General who is tit soldiers choice.” Many of the leading place of business in the city were closed, and pri prietors and employees alike joined in th demonstration of respect toward the Genera Nehemiah Stanley, for sevcrul years a ri porter on the Boston Press, and well know as the correspondent “Scout” of the Bosto Journal with Burnside’s ttrst expedition, die last night at his home in South Tamworlh, N H., of chronic diarrhea, contracted while i the discharge of his duties.

A communication was received from the Secretary of the Smithsonian Institute, trans mitting a resolution that tlie Hoard regrets stating that George E. Hadger has not attend ed tlie meetiug of the Hoard, and they under stood that he was in the rebel army, and sug gesting that he ought no longer to remain a member of the Board. Mr. Kicliardson presented a petition from Madison Y. Johnson, and asked it to be read. Mr. Grimes objected to the reading, unless there was something especial in it. as it is contrary to tlie rules of tlie Senate. Mr. Richardson said the |>etitioner lias been arrested, imprisoned und discharged without any assigned cause. He moved for a commit tee to iffvcsiigate into the facts, witli power to send for persons and papers. Mr. Sumner moved that tlie petition be re ferred to tlie Judiciary Committee. Mr. Iticliardson read the petition, stating that tlie petitioner was arrested last August upon a telegram from the Secretary of War, w ithout a warrant, and imprisoned until the 13tli of September, and no reason was ever assigned for the arrest or discharge. Mr. Kicliardson spoke in favor of investigation. He said there was a feeling wide and deep in the section of the country he came from on this subject, whicli will lead to disastrous conse quences if these arrests are persisted in. Mr. Anthony said he understood this man could have been released at any time by tak ing the oath of allegiance. Mr. Kicliardson said the oath was offered him after lie was at rested and imprisoned and the wrong done. Mr. Anthony—I understand he refused to take it. Mr. Richardson said he did refuse. Mr. Anthony—Then I think the Senate has more important business before it titan attend ing to requests of persons who refuse to take the oath of allegiance to the Government. I have no smypathy for him. 1 move to lay the petition on the table. Mr. Ilayard thought that there could be no propriety in tendering such an oath to a inan arrested unlawfully.

Ms. Wilson of Mass, offered a resolution, di recting the Paymaster General to inform the Senate wliat payments, if any, were made up to the 31st of August, 1862; if none were made, for what reason. Adopted. The legislative and judicial appropriation bill was taken up, the question being iu regard to the appropriation 1'or.Jhe agricultural de partment. Mr. Anthony moved to increase the amount to *110,600, of which §20,000 be expended in experiments to procure a substitute for cotton. Mr. Harlan moved to increase the amount to *130.000. Mr. Harlan's amendment was rejected—yeas 19, nays 20.

The House concurred in the Senate's amend ments to the army appropriation bill, except the item of *5000 for survey of the Minnesota and Red rivers of the North, with the view to improve the navigation of each and connect them by canal. The liouse also concurred in the Senate's amendments to the consular and diplomatic appropriation bill. The House passed the Senate bill, amenda tory of the act providing for the collection of the direct taxation In the insurrectionary dis tricts. It alters certain provisions for the sale ot laud in cases of non-payment. The House resumed the consideration of the bill authorizing the employment of colored troops. Mr. May of Ind. denounced the bill. Mr. Stevens replied, and in the course of his remarks, said that 300,000 men would soon be taken from the army, by reason of the expira tion of their term ot service, and in the pres ent condition of the country, 500,000 volun teers could not be raised to fill this vacancy, and conscription was out of the question. After further remarks the main queston wa* ordered, and the bill then passed—yeas 83, The bill, as passed, is as follows: “Be it enacted by tbe Senate and House of Representative* of the United Slates of Amer ica, in Congress assembled, that the President be, and he is hereby authorized to enroll, afcn, equip and receive into the laud and naval sib vice of the United States such a number rf volunteers of Alt lean descent as he may deem equal to suppress the present rebellion, for sueh term of service as he may prescribe, not exceeding live years; said volunteers to be organized according to the regulations of the branch of service into which they may be en listed; to receive the same rations, clothing and equipments as other volunteers, and a monthly pay not to exceed that of the volun teers to be officered by white or black per sons appointed and commissioned by tbe Pres ident, and to be governed by the rules and ar ticles of war. and sueh other regulations as may lie prescribed by the President, provided that nothing herein contained, or in the rules and articles of war, shall lie so construed as to authorize or permit any officer of African descent to lie appointed to rank or exercise military or naval authority over white officers, soldiers, or tnen in the military or naval ser vice of the United States.

Edward Robinson, D. D., LL. D., professor in the Union Theological Seminary, died at his residence in Xew York, Tuesday, the 27th January, in the fiOth year of his age. Dr. Robinson is perhaps most widely known as the author of “Biblical Re searches in Palestine,” oue of the few works by American scholars which have attained to recognized authority both at home and abroad. A work on Biblical geography was interrupt ed by his death. He was twice married, first to a sister of President Kirkland, of Harvard College, and again in 1828 to a daughter of Prof. Von Jacobi, of Halle, Germany, Theresa A. L. Von Jacobi, whose initials form the non tie plume “Talvi,” by which she has been widely known. The approaching nuptials of Gen. Tom Thumb seem to have set the Gothamites all agog. Miss Warren—soon to become Mrs. Thumb—is two inches shorter than the Gener al. Her bridal fixings have been got up in magnificent style, and arc on exhibition in the shop window of a Broadway firm, and attract so much attention that the sidewalk is obstruct ed by crowds of the curious. The General has made her presents worth $5,000. The bridal diamond ring is beautiful and rich beyond de scription. The General has determined that his wife shall no*, be “exhibited” after mar riage. For a wedding tour they will visit Eu rope. The combined weight of the couple is t(2 1-2 pounds. The wedding is to take place on the loth of February, in Trinity Chapel, Bishop Potter officiating. Cards of invitation have been Issued, sufficient to fill the church. The guests are requested to appear in full rm* IRA WIKN. Agrwl. declOdtf Removal!

Good night onto that fragile hand AH queenly with its weight of rings; flood night to fond, uplifted eyes, Good night to chestnut braids of hair. Good night unto the perfect mouth, And all the sweetness nestled there— The snowy hand detains me, then I’ll have to say good night again But there will come a time, my love, When, if I read our stars aright. I shall not linger by this porch With my adieus. Till then, good night'. Yon wish the time were now And You do not blush to wish it so?

Translated from the l'ittsburger Abend-Zeitung Dec. 11. Remarkable Escape from a Rebel Prison. Several days since, a young and intelligent German, who served as a subaltern officer in the 1st Illinois regiment, and with whom 1 ac cidentally became acquainted, gave me a nar mtive of his flight from captivity among the rebels. His story can best be told in his own words. Eighteen of my comrades and myself, says he while out on a recounoissance, were attack ed, by a rebel force three times our own, and. In spite of a brave resistance, were compelled to yield, and were taken prisoners, and were conveyed to the Salisbury prison in North Carolina. Here we were doomed to suffer much misery, and heartily longed for our Iree dom, but all the methods I could contrive for our deliverance were immediately rejected because they api>earcd impracticable. One evening, while walking in the yard of our prison, I noticed that the two soldiers, who were standing as sentinels before the open gate of our prison yard, were raw recruits. The thought forthwith came into my mind that this might be a favorable circumstance for our deliverance, and I related this to my comrades; we accordingly resolved without delay to knock down the two sentinels, to flee and to meet again at a certain place several miles from the town; we also resolved to provide ourselves as soon as possible with citizen's dress, and then under my lead, as new recruits, to betake ourselves to the rebel camn.situated ill that vicinity under Gen. M., and join a reg iment, and there await a favorable opportunity for our further flight. The night favored our plan, and every thing succeeded according to our wishes, and having caused no alarm we fled in different directions from the prison. On the way toward the place appointed lor our meeting I met a Ger man girl and inquired of her concerning a grocery that I might buy some provisions. From her broken English I perceived that she was German, and encouraged by this to be lieve that my good fortune would not leave me, I related to her in a few words my dan gerous situation. She was extremely perplex ed as to what she ought to do, but finally her good heart beat witli compassion for me, and she directed me to the house of her parents. Having arrived there 1 found the parents of the girl exceedingly embarrassed to determine how they should act in my case, since, on my account, they exposed themselves to difficulty and danger; yet as people from the same na tive land, and true Unionists, they ftirnished me witli a new suit of citizens clothes, and after I had purchased some provisions and garments for my comrades,'and bad thanked my kind protectors, 1 proceeded on my way to the place of our meeting. Here I found my fellow fugitives awaiting me with impa tience. Since the bright moon illumined the night, we commenced our march for the camp of Gen. It. We reached it without accident about 7 o’clock a. m.; here the greatest cau tion was necessary. As we came near the main guard of the camp, we were stopped and ask ed what we wished and whence we had come. I stepped up to the officer making this inquiry gave him a salute, and declared to him that we had been compelled to flee from the troops of the Yankee General Foster, and with eight een companions bad come here in order to join a regiment. The captain of the guard at first bid us stay in the viciuity of the guard, provided us with some bread and a kind of soup, and reported our arrival to Gen. M. After the lapse of half an hour we were or dered to present ourselves in front of the General’s tent. Having marched before his tent, the General enquired concerning our dwelling places, names, Ac., and seemed to be satisfied with our report. Then he enquired whether we could exercise; I replied iu the affirmative; and the marching, which we im mediately executed, proved to him that we might be very useful soldiers. A place was now assigned lor our encampment, and here we made ourselves quite at home. In the af ternoon I received command to report my self in the General’s tent, who, in a few words, informed me that he had selected me as one of his captains, since he was highly pleased with our drill; he now handed me a list, that contained the names of my comrades, as well a* the names of recruits that were strangers to me; and these now formed my newly or ganized company. After this we drilled every day; we also received arms, and some of us were provided with Secesh uniforms. This course of life lasted about fourteen days, while no opportunity was offered for fur ther flight; hut at last one morning I received command to march with my company about live miles from camp, on scouting expedi tion. Having readied the point indicated, I noticed a tug boat lying in a river iu the vi cinity. Well! thought I, suppose thoucould’st make this little steamer serviceable for thy es cape; and without hesitation 1 went to the boat and ascertained all that was im|>ortant for me to know concerning it. One of the ne groes on board informed me that the master of the same went into the country the previous evening and had not returned. My resolution was embraced; 1 therefore sent the rebel sec tion of mv T inquiry at this office, or No. 92 Exchange st -O one cuu boar of a chance to buy a "MILK ROUTE," in which there is not a customer who has ailed to pay his monthly bilh. A favorable chance is thus offered to any oue who may wish to engage in the business, or to enlarge his present "route.” novl2 eodtf REWARD!

T^TO Organs of the human system are more irapor tant to health and comfort than the Eve and Ear, and yet none 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 aud health. Poor Rirliant'N Err and Ear Watrr Isa new and rare discovery, which is most wonder ful in its operatious, putting to blush the old systems of treatment, which have quite a* often done harm as good. Below we give the certificate of Rev. P. 8. 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, 1*62. Prom injuries received iu my right eye, when a boy. a chronic inflammation had 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 night. A variety of remedies bad been resorted to with out success, and 1 entertained the purpose, as a last resort, of having the ball taken out oi its socket, in the hope of thus finding relief. In the meantime, most providentially, I noticed one day in a«hop window a bottle of POOR RICH ARD’S EYE WATER. 1 bad never heard ot it be fore, but determined to try it, and did. with the moat delightful results. In a very few’ days the painful rritatiou was removed; 1 could bear the strongest light, and weut forth to the enjoyment of a new life. I now keep a bottle of it always iu the house, aud if my eye seems at all disposed to annoy me, I give it a dose, an'd that is an end of it. I would not be with out it for any amount of money. I take occasion to say, farther, that my wife used to suffer severely at times from protracted pain in and over her eye-, and she has found Poor Richard’d Eve 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 sufferer* like myself. P S. HENSON, Pastor of Broad Street Baptist Church.
