Tuesday Morning, Dec. 5, 1865. The Constitutional Guaranty of a Republi can Form of Government. The Boston Daily Advertiser publishes a very able paper from the Hon. Robert Hale Owen, in which that gentleman, in view of the early assembling of Congress and the weighty questions it will be called on to consid er, invites the attention of members elect and of the public to that clause of the constitution guarantying a Republican form of Govern ment, and to a practical recommendation, which will, he thinks, if properly brought for ward, command two thirds of the votes in eith er House. Mr. Owen prefaces his subject by paying a high compliment to the spirit and intentions ot President Johnson in his recent re-con struction policy, expresses his-opinion that it is seldom unwise to teuder the olive branch even to the unworthy, and that clemency should first be tried; and adds: The South, wedded to her idols, has not re sponded to the magnanimous overtures of the President. Such I doubt not, will be the judgment of Congress. Upon that judgment I believe Congress will act;and, if it does, no impediment, I feel assured, will be thrown in its way by our Chief Magistrate. Further in elucidation of his position, Mr. Owen says: It is the people of the whole nation through their national government, not the people of any one state through their convention or their state legislature, who have the right, and upon whom is imposed the duty, to see that state governments are, and remain, re pubhean in form. (Art. IV., Sec. 4.) And the whole people, not the people of a single state, are by the Constitution made the judges of what is a republican form of government. If a state of the Union were to proclaim a monarchy, Congress would have the right to reject her representatives. But a republican form of government may be subverted by in direction as surely as by proclamation of a monarchy. A State has a right, within certain limits, to decree the qualifications of her votes; hut when any such qualification is pushed be yond the point of republicanism, it devolves upon the national govermnent to enforce the constitutional guaranty. A state, if It see fit, may require a proper ty qualification; as that a voter shall be a tax payer or a householder; but if it push the principle so far as to require that he shall pos sess a hundred thousand dollars, then large masses are disfranchised, and the republican form of government is violated thereby. A state, if it see fit, may require a literary qualification, as that a voter shall be able to read the constitution of his country: but if it push the principle so far as to require that he shall understand Sanscrit or read Homer in the original Greek, then large masses are dis franchised, and the republican form of govern ment is violated thereby. A a Lam, 11 it auu lit, may icijuiic a ijui»iiuLa tiou of birth, as that a foreigner shall have been a three-year resident before he is entitled to vote; but if it shoulcFpush this principle so far as to disfranchise all persons of foreign birth and their descendants, during lifetime, then large masses would be excluded, and the republican form of government violated there by. So. also, if a state disfranchise, because of race, the fiftieth part of her population, her action may violate justice, yet foil short of working a svbstantial change in her form of government- (lie minimis non curat lex.)— But if the number excluded by this qua'ilica cation of race from participation in self gov ernment amount to one third or one half or two thirds of her entire population, then large masses are disfranchised, and the republican form of government is essentially violated thereby. Loyalty, at present is scarce in the South, and it is precisely the most loyal portion of the people whom it i3 proposed to disfranchise. We may safely calculate on the vote of the ne gro population being given in a msss, in fa vor of men who will go against the repudia tion of our debt or the assumption of the reb el debt, not because they have political or fi nancial knowledge, but because they have sa gacious instincts. They know who are their friends, and will go with their friends. Interest and duty therefore coincide in this matter. We are called upon to do justice; and by so doing we best provide for our own safety. Congress has now the power in its own hand to do so, and he would have it use that power. This is his definite proposition: it tne rramers or me irousuiuuon uau an ticipated sucli insurrection as we have just quelled, I do not doubt that, besides giving Congress the right to determine the times, places and manner of holding elections for Congressmen, they would have given that body the further right to determine the quali fications of voters as well for Congressmen as for President. These are national offices; and l think it would have been expedient to vest in the nation—not in the separate states—the right to determine how they should be filled. I am quite sure that, in the present temper of the South, it is not safe to suffer each state to determine the qualifications of electors of fed eral officers. The qualifications should be uni form in all the states, and the representatives of the nation should determine these. I propose, therefore, that Congress, before admitting members of the late insurgent states, should take the initiatory step so to amend the Constitution that the qualifications of voters for President and Vice-President and for Representatives in Congress shall be determin ed by Congressional or constitutional author ity. 1 think it best to ensure permanent uni formity in a matter so vital as this, that the amendment should set forth, specifically, the qualifications to be required of the electors in question, at least in part. It should be pro vided that race or color shall not be a qualifi cation, anil that the ability to read the Consti tution shall be. It would be well to Incorporate in the same amendment a provision that President and Vice President shall be voted for directly by the people. The intervention of electoral col leges (a provision virtually annulled by public opinion) has long been a mere dead letter in cumbrance; and, as such, should be erased from the Constitution. As to the literary qualification—the ability to read—it has in its favor at this time two recommendations; one temporary and of ex pediency, the other of principle and external. For, first, it is a compromise offered to the South on the negto suffrage question, shutting out for the time being, probably nineteen twentieths of the* African race; and, secondly, it is the first step in the assertion of two great principles—the one, that the accident of race shall not exclude a free citizen from self gov ernment and the other, that while monarchi cal Europe commonly selects property as a suff rage qualification, republican America sub stitutes lor it the test of intelligence.

Suffrage has, of late years, and especially in our great cities, gradually come to be not only cheapened, but, in a measure, dishonored and degraded. ThatcanDOt continue and increase without endangering our very form of govern ment. Anything wnieh tends to elevate suff rage in the eyes of those Who exercise it, tends tothe perpetuity no less than to the morality of the republic. Some will object to the amendment propos ed, that it is jusuiUcient for present purposes; being a compromise under which we should lose for a generation of men perhaps, the vote of a very large majority of tne negro popula tion and that we canuot afford to lose so large a loyal vote in an emergency like the present- There I* force in the objection. But in this slow-moving world it is often the ques tion not what should be done, hut W’hat can be done. And the move, if it be not as great a stride as Is desirable, Is, emphatically, one in the right direction. We obtain a firm basis on which to build hereafter; and the evil which it falls at once to eradicate will be di minishing year by year. No generation of nibi will elapse betore the negro, free at last to em.-r the seliool-house, will have learned to read ti„re. The incentive, alike to illiterate blacks awl whites, to make up for lost time •will be povwrful beyond any other, perhaps, that law can create. i have reason to belieye that such a meas ure will be introduced in the early days of next Congress, by one of its ablest members; and that it will find favor in the highest quar ters. It is not all that, in justice, we ought to secure; it may be all that, in practice we shall be able to obtain. Nor, if such amendment is incorporated in the Constitution, can it be alleged that the North seeks to impose on the South provis ions as to suffi-age which some northern states are themselves unviilling to adopt. Public opinion in the North will sustain it. Nor yet will there be pretence for assertion that state rights ate invaded, since the measure affects voters for Federal officers only. The North has the power, by making such an amendment a condition of rcadmissiou, to secure its adoption. Site will evince little pru dence or foresight if she suffers that power to pass from her hands. As to the civil rights of the negro, if Con gress admit a single ex-insurgent state without seeing to it that these are constitutionally se cured, the representatives of the nation will be doing worse than to neglect their duty In guarantying a republican form of government; they will be making the nation an accessory to an outrage on civilization. To deny the negro the right to testify in a court of justice is an act not of disfranchisement hut of out lawry. States ljave the right to pass laws regarding vagrants and paupers. But a state has no constitutional right to incorporate in any such laws,or in any laws whatever defining the civil rights of free persons, a provision restricting their effect to any particular race of men. A state cannot, for example, constitutionally enact a vagrant law that shall apply only to citizens of Irish descent. Such a law would be in violation of a republican form of govern ment, to say nothing of its certain result; it would be the signal for an insurrection among the Irish alt over the land. The public desire is strong that fraternal re lations between the lately warring sections of our country should be speedily re-established. That is well. To be reconciled to a brother is better than an altar-gift Peace is a God-like visitor. l$ut if she come with her white robes sullied with injustice, brief will be her sojourn among us. Let not our eagerness for tranquility, then, betray us into concessions alike perilous and dishonorable. We are in danger of this. One of the wisest of modern writers on public af fairs has said: ‘"When a nation lias been wear ied by long strife, it will submit to duped for the sake of peace.” I am, Sir, your obedient servant, Robert Dale Owen. New York, November 22,1S65. The Election of Stuart Mill. The Boston Transcript expresses doubt whether Mr. Mill, witli his well-known senti ments, could have secured an election from a Massachusetts constituency. That paper says: The accounts we have had of the election of members of Parliament for Westminister are interesting in many ways, and in regard to ane of the candidates raise the question whether, had he been on this side of the Atlantic, he could have been chosen a representative to our own State Legislature. We allude of course to the philosophical, thoughtful and el oquent radical, John Stuart Mill. Some of the answers he gave to inquiries put to him, and the opinions he was known to entertain on several points of political and social policy, mark him a3 a little too ultra tor our proverb ial ultraism. Moreover his independence and adherence to his own convictions, popular or unpopular, would have serionsly affected his availability. Mr. Mill avowed himself in sympathy with the temperance movement and regarded drunkenness as ruinous to the laboring class. But he could not favor the prohititory law.— He could not desert a principle and forbid the use of a thing because it was abused, or liable to abuse. This confession would have settled his case to our advocates of packed juries and Metropolitan Police Bills. Mr. Mill stated that he was decidedly in fa vor of opening the British Museum on Sun days. That declaration would have robbed him of the votes of our citizens, anxious to en force, according to their creed and notions, a better observance of the Sabbath. Mr. Mill frankly admitted that he had said that the working classes, generally, were ad dicting to lying;explaining that he accounted for the fact by attributing it to their weakness. He wanted them to have power and be made stronger, that they might thus become better. Such trank and honest words addressed to those whose s upport was solicited, would hardly win ballots in New England. If we add to these instances the fact that Mr. Mill is in favor of universal suffrage, even to the extent of granting it to women, and that his theological belief is by no means “Ortho dox,” as the term is usually understood, it be comes very plain that the victorious canvasser in London, could not have triumphed among the descendants of the Puritans. The election of Mr. Mill, uuder the circum stances. is one of the marvels of the times, and a proof that the world moves. A liberal of the extreme school, according to the bigot ed prejudices of extreme conservatism, he is sent to Parliament from a district where the “glory and shame,” the aristocrats and degra dation of England are side b7 side in glaring contrast—from Piccadilly and Covent Garden. This certainly is an event of wide meaning where it occured; and it is not without lessons for us. It shows that honesty, after all, in true and great men—men of clear heads and hu mane hearts, is the best policy. It proves that for progress in ideas, we must have the largest liberty in thinking and speaking, and that it don’t do to try to shut up independent mind3, who have the right to teach and lead, within the narrowness of cliques and sects, if we want power and guidance for beneficent use. Mr. Mill’s triumph is the triumph of brains, learning, principle, intellectual and moral integrity. It was his manhood, his (rank ness, his sympathy with freedom and human t.Vi that carried the day, against the stubborn ignorance and blind obstinacy of Toryism. Where is the Comet Yarious papers have for some time past been heralding the approach of Biela’s comet, and pointed out its string of localities that not one not one reader in a hundred coulld understand. An exchange, after commenting severely upon this “unintelligible jargon,” asked, “Now, will not somebody tell us in what particular part of the heavens this beautiful comet may be seen on a given night?” In answer to this quest ion, the Chicago Tribune says: “For the benefit of our exchange, and all others “to whom it may concern” to know, we will state that the square of Pegasus is com posed of four prominent stars, and lies imme diately southwest of the vernal Equinox. The meridian circle cutting that point—the equi noctial co'.ure—passing nearly through two of the stare, “Algenib,” near the equinox, and “Alplieatz,” some twelve degrees to the north ward. These two are often referred to by as tronomers as giving the location of the colure. Of the other two stais, lying westward of those about sixteen degrees, the northerly one is called “Scheat Pegasi,” the other “Markab.” The star “Markab,” near which the comet now is, crosses the meridian within a few minutes of six o’clock in the evening, and but a few degrees south of the Zenith. It may be seen beneath that point and the western hori zon, till near midnight- We give the following rule: To find the “square,” turn your face due south about half past six in the evening, and looking upward as high as you can without straining your neck, the square will be in full view; “Markab” is the star in the lower right hand corner. Bosun,'a the Job.—In New Haven the other day, two Irishmen demanded $1 25 of a gentleman for putting in some fuel. A colored man said lie would do it for a dollar, and his services were engaged. Presently he re-en tered the gentleman’s office with his thumbs in the sleeve holes of his vest, and assuming a very self-satisfied air. The gentleman think ing something was wrong, asked “what is the matter He replied with a grin, “I have hired the two Irishmen to carry up the w00(j ior fifty cents, and retain fifty cents myself for bossing the job.” And such was the fact, for the gentleman went out and saw for himself the two Milesians obeying the orders of their colored employer with alacrity. By*It is remarked by the London polico, as a characteristic Circumstance, that nearly every female who throws herself infp the water is careful to divest herself of her bonnet and shawl, which are placed on the ground in such a manner as not to be in the least damaged, Amsterdam and the Dutch. A SKETCH OF LIFE IN HOLLAND. A correspondent of an English journal pleasantly describes Amsterdam and its peo ple: “The city which lies nearly at the south of Zuyder-Zee, has direct communication by the sea with almost ail the provinces, and thus she had become the mart for their produce long before railroads had introduced a new means of communication, which has not even yet superseded the vast inter-communication by water, which existed in this very extraor dinary country, almost every field of which may be reached by water, and the manure from the cities is thus, at verv slight cost, spread over the most distant fields. The large barges which are used for the sea voyage as well as internal trade, carry about one hundred tons. They are rigged with two masts, placed con siderably apart; at sea, and sometimes inland or on the rivers, they use their sails. At other times they are propelled with long straight poles used by the athletic boatmen, who placing the end of the poles against their chests, and walking backwards, urge their boats forward at considerable speed. Inland, when the sails cannot be used, they are drawn by men, or sometimes women. The tow rope has a flat board, which is placed over the chest, and thus the boat or barge is drawn along.— Horses are seldom used. Indeed, if one man can pull one of these boats along, it would be false economy to use a horse, which consumes as much food as seven man to do the work.— Thesefboats in order to turn in a small space, and to afford considerable storage, are built very square at the bows, and they have a very old fashioned look, but they do a very large amount of work. Amsterdam may be said to be built in the sea; all her buildings are built on piles. The palace alone required 13,603. In passing along through the city I noticed the foundation whicli was being pre pared for a house. Two sets of men were en gaged driving piles, while a third set, with a centrifugal pump, were pumping out the wat er, a very copious stream of which wa3 flowine from the pump. The pile driving was done with the rudest machinery, such as would in England be superseded by the winch or steam engine. Here the object seems to be to em ploy men, not to supersede their labor with machinery. “The Protestant churches are rarely open except on Sundays, and.cven then it i3 diffi cult to get a seat. At Berne I found the church locked, and I was refused admittance because I was not there within a quarter oi an hour after the service had begun. In Amster dam it was a little better. I was allowed within the porch, but the doors admitting to the seats were ail locked. The minister goes through his duties like a lesson of which he wishes to get rid; and as he does not like to he disturbed, those who come late are locked out. The churches are provided with large, heavy, ponderous looking Bibles, fastened with two imposing looking clasps. The catechism and prayers are placed at the end, instead of the “They do not allow families to sit together in pews; all the women are placed in the cen tre of the church and the men at each side.— The men wear their hats even during the ser vice, and neither men nor women stand up during the singing of tho psalms, which oc curs three times in the service, and collections are made during the sermon. The collectors have implements like landing nets with long handles; the net is lined with black velvet.— The net is poked in succession under each person’s nose to receive the contribution. Two collections were made on Sunday morning. What tbeir object wa3 I did not learn, save that one set of the bags was marked with K, and the others were plain. Most of the con gregation put something into each. The cler gyman was supplied with water, and he paus ed frequently in his discourse to moisten his lips and throat—a very necessary precaution in using snch guttural language as the Dutch. “I found the Crystal Palace open on Sun day evening, and a band engaged in its weekly concert. The building, which would hardly be missed out of that of Sydenham, is simply a large concert hall, with a lew flower beds in it. The company which numbered eight thou sand, were seated in groups at small tables, where they had tea, coffee, wine, &c., or stroll ing about tile hail or adjacent ground. The building was lit with gas, and thronged with people of all classes. The charge for admission was sixty cents, (ten pence.) “The lair at Amsterdam has attracted all the moveable theatres and other similar amusements. The tables are decked out with provisions of various kinds. Vast masses of the people, all sober, all well conducted, are moving about. In one spot is a French kitch en; the cooks are working in public; it ii well lit up. Adjoining the cooking room are al coves shut off by curtains, where visitors can taste the quickly cooked viands. One ofthe most amusing spectacles is the manufacturing of pancakes or fritters; it is earned on in the open air. Upon a large brazier, about three feet by four feet, is placed a plate of copper, closely indented with little saucers about three inches in diameter and placed in rows. Two women sit on high chairs, having a large bowl of batter in the left hand; a long handled tim ber spoon is used with the right hand to jerk a spoonful of the batter into each of tho cups, which have already been greased. Here it fries for a few moments yntil an attendant re verses it with a long fork, and it is taken away to be eaten. The jerking of the batter never stops; as soon as the woman has got to the end of her space it is time to begin again.— The whole proceeding is indeed very funny.— These fairs are a sort of saturnalia. They oc cur annually, and are the means by which a very staid people throw off some of their pent up animation. They are mostly enjoyed by the middle aud lower classes.

Benzine ab an Insecticide.—As our houses aud gardens are always more or less infested with vermin, it is satisfactory to know that benzine, an article well-known aaA deter gent, is efficacious as an insecticide; Two drops are sufficient to suffocate the most redoubta ble pest, be it beetle, cockcliaffer, spider, slug, caterpiller, or other creeping thing. Even rats and mice decamp from any place sprinkled with a few drops of benzine, A singular fact connected with this appiicatian of benzine is, that the bodies of insects killed by it become so rigid their wings, legs, etc., will break rath er than bend, If touched. Next day, howev er, when the benzine has evaporated, supple ness is restored. [Boston Gazette.

Eight miles of dead bodies of rebels; a thousand bodies hanged and hanging 1 The mind revolts at the pic ture, and refuses to believe that a sudden fren zy can so barbarize a community. The atro ciousness of the rising of the blacks we have had already; now come the sickening details of the reaction. An eye-witness writes that “there is one continual scene of hanging day by day.” The sailors declare that the dead bodies are buried so thick they remind them of sardines; and serious epidemics were feared from the elfluvia-tainted atmosphere.

It rather shocked our British friends when they heard that sentence had been executed upon Mrs. Surratt; but they are hanging up females in Jamaica in rows. It makes all the difference whose ani mal has been gored. But the revolting scenes afe nearly ended.

The Pittsburg Chronicle of Wednesday says: This afternoon the proprietors of the Fort Pitt Works achieved another great triumph in the way ofheavy castings, having successfully cast an immense fly-wheel, weighing about forty-two tons, for Messrs. Zug -Co.’s rolling mid. The mould wa3 made in the rolling mill (there not being sufficient space in the Fort Pitt works for the purpose), and the metal was run from the furnaces in iron con duits, through the open air, to the mould, a distance of about one hundred and sixty-eight feet. The preparations for the casting have occupied some two weeks, the mould being made from cores instead of the usual wooden patterns. The meta), amounting to about forty-eight tons, was melted in two furnaces, each one containing twenty-four tons. The furnaces were tapped simultaneously, and in less than twelve minutes the mass of metal required for the casting had plowed into the mould. The running of the metal, through the open air, such a distance, had never been attempted before and the result of the experi ment was eagerly watched. But, as with al most everything else, attempted by the firm, the experiment has been a complete success. The fly-wheel is supposed to be one of the largest, if not the largest in the world. It is seventy-nine feet five inches in circumference, qjid aljout twenty-five feet in diameter, and when finished will weigh about forty-two tons. There are ten arms, each eight inclies wide by eleven inclies deep. The hub is thirty inches long, and the “eye” forty-two inches in circum ference; the rim is eight inches thick and eighteen inches wide. The Paris Exhibition for 1807. A despatch from Washington says: The time for fifing applications from the United States having been extended to the first of Jan. 1886, it is very desirable that the public should understand that it will be the endeavor of the agent at New York (Mr. J.

Naebow Escape.—On Friday morning, lUtli mst, as a train on the Niagara and Uut 0 ,Ilway was leaving a gravel pit, the en gine driver observed a young lady upon the track, a short distance ahead. He blew the wnistle three or four times, but she seemed to take no notice of it. He then shut off steam, when the conductor went to the pilot of the engine to try and save her. He was, however, too late, as the engine had struck her, push ing her body ahead of it for a distance of about two hundred yards, when it was forced off to one side of the track. The train was stoppod and the parties in charge went back expecting to find the mangled remains of the unfort unate lady, but to their great Joy they found her alive and well.

DAILY PRESS,.’ PORTLAND. _— Tuesday Morning, Dec. 5,1865.1 The 'laily ,he Prf" laTZ,r thnn ",r rom' j rirculatton of all the other Jailers in the city Terms —$S,00 per tjeur in aileaetcr. BSf Readinz Matter on all Four Pazes. A Fair Compromise. A few days since a clergymen took excep tions to the long leaders sometimes found in the Press and other newspapers, suggest ing that half or three fourths of a column is as much as persons of ordinary patience can afford to wade through in reading a morning paper, and that articles of greater length, un less possessed of unusual attraction, and of more than ordinary vim, defeat their own end by escaping a careful reading altogether. We acknowledge the “corn,” and feel as se riously impressed with the general truth and justice of his remarks as he can possibly him self, and we never write a much longer article without feeling that we owe an apology to the reader, and seldom receive a much longer ar ticle from a correspondent without feeling that he owes us an apology. Ordinarily we intend to keep within these narrow limits; to walk in this straight and narrow way, which leads to the best life of a newspaper. But we submit if the complaint of prolixity comes with good grace, always, from clergy men. Do they not sin in this regard, if not as often as the editor of a daily paper, at least as grievouslyl We think they do. True, the time has gone by when a clergyman in his pulpit labors feels called upon to adopt the “ten-hour system,” as it has when congre gations feel that religion requires them to sit during the cold winter months in unwarmed churches, on bare benches, with uncarpeted floors, or when choirs grind out psalm tune through their noses, with no accompaniment save a pitch-pipe or possibly a violincello. But the time has not gone by when clergymen feel called upon, sometimes, to begin in every ser mon at the rudiments, and give the history o( creation and Providence from the first human pair down through the deluge, the dispersion of the ten tribes, the captivity and the Chris tian era, and to treat their congregation as though all knowledge was confined to and must flow out from the pulpit. The time lias not come when brevity in the pulpit is believ ed to be the sonl of devotion, as in other things it is the soul of wit, and when a long, tedious, prosy sermon is looked upon as a stum bling-block over which many a poor sinner has tumbled into spiritual poverty if not into per dition now we insist tuat on an ordinary occa sions, a sermon over half an hour or thirty five minutes long, not only involves a waste o!' time, but is worse than a waste; that it be comes tedious, and destroys the good effect produced by the earlier efforts in tho^ame dis course. We propose, therefore, as a fair com promise, that if newspaper leaders are to be cut down to half a column, sermons shall be cut down to half an hour. Let the editor study more, and either write less or crowd more thought and force into small space. Let his articles be concentrated intellectual pabu lum, and not compel his readers to waste hours in staying then- intellectual stomachs, like a horse fed only upon hay in satistying the cravings of hunger. It is said that an ani mal's food may be too much concentrated; that a horse fed on com alone will become diseased, while a mixture of straw to distend the stomach would save him. A dog fed on sugar alone will die; if the sugar be mixed with saw-dust he will fatten upon it. But we do not think any newspaper pabu lum is in danger from its too great concentra tion, of producing gout in the mind’s under standing, or of producing intellectual dyspep sia. Nor do we believe the sermons of the sanctuary are any more likely to produce such evils In the spiritual body. There is no need of dilution. The “milk for babes” may be found in almost any of them, so that too great concentration need not be feared by any clergyman, even should he compress into the space of half an hour the thought and mat ter ordinarily spread out through double that space of time. Hut we stop here. We commenced this ar tide mainly with a view to introduce a capi tal extract from the Springfield Bepublican on the value of short sermons, but having written this much, wo find the extract has been mis laid, so we are obliged to withhold it from our readers, alter all. Perhaps it is well, for with that added to this article, we should trans gress the rule, and overstep the terms of the compromise above proposed. The Judiciary Question. To the Editor of the Prc$a: Is the public aware of the great difficulty in procuring a suitable candidate for the office of Justice of the Supreme Con#, made vacant by the resignation of Judge Davis -If not, it should be understood that nearly every mem ber of the Cumberland bar, who is known by his brethren to be qualified lor the position, has been requested to allow his name to be presented to the Governor as a candidate, but as yet not one has been found ready to assent to the request. Can the public interest long permit this state of things to continue Must the State be deprived of the services of those best quali fied tor its highest and most honorable posi tion, or shall some remedy be devised so that the State can again command its highest legal talent The interests of Cumberland County re quire that we should have an upright, talent ed and learned judiciary. The character of the business in our courts has very much changed within ten or fifteen years; the causes which are litigated are mostly of a mercantile nature, involving large amounts, demanding a court conversant with mercan tile law, and we fear it will be a long time be fore we shall obtain a Justice as well qualified in these matters as the learned Judge who has just left the bench. The salary of the office is Inedequate for the services rendered, and it should not be expect ed of any man in the prime of life, unless he is possessed ot a fortune, that he should accept so onerous a position, with a compensation barely sufficient for his support, when,by re maining at the bar, he can with the same la bor acquire a competency. The difficulty in obtaining suitable candi dates, is not wholly, as we believe, in the in adequacy of the salary, it is partly owing to the miserable system upon which our courts were reorganized in 1852, from which time the Supreme Court of Maine has been gradu ualty declining in the respect and confidence of the community, as well as of the profession. If one is qualified for the position of Judge of the Supreme Court, he can hardly be content ed with spending two or three days in hear ing a cause appealed from a trial Justice or Police Court, involving only some five or ten dollars, and the trial of such causes is hardly a fit preparation for the determination of mat ters of navigation, insurance and other cases o that nature. Theu, again, the number of iuclge3 is so great that they are constantly dis agreeing among themselves as to the deter mination of legal questions, thereby causing great delay. And the opinions of our Court do not generally denote that thorough inves tigation and research which, under the old system, characterized the decisions of the Su preme Court of Maine, though we thankfully confess the opinions contained in the 50th vol ume of the reports are, as a whole, decidedly in advance of many of the previous volumes. We have, in Cumberland County, suffered long enougu from this system and its conse quences, although we have generally had as signed to our terms those members of the court most acceptable to us and best qualified for their position, and we think the Legisla ture should afford us a separate, independent court for this county; and if the State cannot afford to pay such a salary as will command the services of whoever may he considered best qualified for its bench, then let the coun ty or city contribute sufficient to accomplish so desirable an object. If this plan should not he acceptable to the Legislature, then let it pro vide a law court of three judges, with two law terms in each district, and thus dispose of the law questions without the great delay now at tending them, with a court lor trial of four judges, who could dispose ot all the business as speedily and as satisfactorily as is now done under the present system. We hope the Governor will delay the nom ination until the meeting of the Legislature, and that some system may be devised to reme dy the difficulties wbicli now exist. One can be presented by wliicli we can obtain a tlourt, with judges of the highest legal talent and acquirements in the State, and with not one half of the expense and delays now attend ingjudicial proceedings. Cumberland. The Causes of the Scarcity of Money. To the Editor (if the Treat: Although E. H. T., after his second attack upon me, “did not intend to say a word more upon this subject,” he appears to have been so utterly astonished by the singular cireumstauce of my defending myself, as to have been betray ed into writing two more articles for successive numbers of the Preaa. If he has finished what he has to say at present, he will permit me to congratulate him upon the marked improve ment in his views. He has freed himself from the imputation of layering a permanent ly inflated currency. He has abandoned the untenable ground, that the impoverished com munities of the Southern States are anxious o exchange their cotton and tobacco for curren cy rather than for goods—as if they could eat, drink and wear greenbacks. He has come over entirely to my view respecting the funding of the compound interest notes, saying in so many words, that “it makes no practical difference whether they were withdrawn from the circu lation by the Secretary of the Treasury or by banks and individuals,” and admitting that tbe last he has seen paid out by the banks, wera so paid out in November, 1864—a year ago.— But if they have not been in circulation for a year, of coarse the recent action of the Secre tary has made “no practical difference” in the volume of circulating currency. Finally, he no longer pretends that the withdrawal of some $50,000,000 of State hank bills will “create a va cuum” which cannot be tilled by the $100, 030,000 of National bank notes uow authorized, and sure to be issued. Driven thus from the three positions which he had originally assumed in defence of his theory, that “money is scarce because the vol ume of currency is practically diminishing,” he falls back in tolerably good order, and asks, “What reason can there be, then, for a tight money market, unless it be a contraction of tbe currency?” This question is none the worse tor having been satisfactorily answered some thousands of times. It implies a certain con fusion of thought into which inquirers in these matters are sure to stumble, and out of which they are equally sure to escape if patient and logical. xue money marnet is use any oilier marxi't. The price of money is the rate of interest, and the fluctuations in this price are determined l>y variations in tho demand or in the supply.— Unemployed capital furnishes the supply, and I suppose E H. T. is not prepared to maintain that every addition to the volume of a redun dant currency is an addition to the capital of the nation. Capital consists wholly of accu mulated savings. A new issue of United States currency would not in the least relieve the money market; for it would not in itself in crease the amount of unemployed capital. The contrary impression arises from the fact, that we have been accustomed to see the volume of currency increased by bank issues, in the form of loans. In such cases, there is a real addition to the supply of capital in the market; but it will not do to infer from this circumstance, that currency and capita) are identical. The sup ply of capital available for loans is subject to little variation, except what arises from the gradual process of accumulation, or especially from expansion or contraction of credit. The demand varies with the varying exigencies of trade. And “the reason for a tight money market" must be sought always in an increas ed demand or a reduced supply, and never In the state of the currency. Depreciation of the curreucy can never affect a rate of interest expressed in the same currency. It may occur to K. H. T. to inquire what would became of a new issue of United States currency. It must go somewhere, and if not into the money market, whore then? It would not go into the money market except as capital to be lent. Currency issued by the govern ment in payment of its ordinary expenses is not capital, and must accordingly go into the markets for goods and raise the prices of goods. And here let mo finish by quoting a passage from Secretary McCulloch’s report as Comp troller of the Currency two years ago. The re port oear-s uate jnov. zb, lBOJ, ana therein we real “Currency is" reported to be scarce throughout the country, but no one cau be ig norant of the fact that this scarcity is in a measure attributable to the high prices which bank issues have contributed to briog about._ It is f requently the case that money is apparent ly the mo3t plenty when there is the least of it in circulation, and the scarcest when it has at tained the highest point before a financial cri sis. An increase of the circulating medium inflates prices. High prices require au increas ed circulation, and so they act and react upon each other, and there appears to bo no redun dancy of currency, no matter how vast the vol ume may be, until a collapse takes place and what was supposed to be real prosperity is shown to be without a substantial foundation.” In accordance with these sound views, the Secretary of th Treasury is now fully com mitted to a policy of gradual contraction. His policy has been endorsed by the New York Chamber of Commerce and the Boston Board of Trade as I have already men ioned, and as lias since been reported, by the Chicago Board of Trade. In the great centers of trade, East and West, there is but one voice in this matter. If E. H.T. opposes this policy, I am ready to carry this discussion farther, believing that the question is of sufficient importance to be deba ted not only in Congress but all over the laud, by the people, who must ultimately decide it. If he doe not oppose this policy, then it is of very little interest to me, or to the readers of the Press, whether he estimates the amount of currency now afloat at $700,000,000 or at $650, 000,000, or whether the latest issue of compound interest notes was dated June or September, 1864. _ II. W Agassiz’s Explorations. Letters from Professor Agassiz from Brazil are published in the Eoenitig Post of Friday. The Professor writc3 that the success of his investigations exceeds his most exlravagant dreams, and that the discoveries he has made will require a new classification of some of the genera of the animal kingdom. Within the i brief space of fourteen days sixty new specie of fish were found, and of some hundreds of specimens collected up to the beginning oi September, but one-third have hitherto been known to science. It would seem, therefore, says the Post,that there has been a literal fulfilment of Dr. Holmes s wish, expressed in his Atlantic vers es thus: “May ho find wlthl.is apostles That the land is full oi Sif That the walers swam, with fishes Shaped according to his wishes63 That every pool is fertile In fancy kinds oi turi le, New birds around him singing, New insects, never slinging, With a million novel data About the articulate., And tacts that strip off all husks From the history ofin'dlusks.” Former accounts of Professor Agassiz’s ex peditions—given on tlie authority of ltev. J. C. Fletcher—gave sufficient evidence of the zeal with which these investigations were con ducted but the results now announced are beyond the anticipations of the most san guine. The latest report is that Agassiz was to leave Manao3, in Amazonas, on the 10th of September, for Tabatinga, in Peru. Mr. Pecksniff on the Negro. That humane and charitable sheet, the New York World, has found a fresh topic over whicli to grieve its philanthropic soul. Ani mated by the most ardent sympathy with the down-trodden and oppressed in general, and for the poor negro in particular, it is now deeply exercised in mind lest those false friends of his the “radicals,” should succeed in forc ing into his unready hand the fatal gift of po litical privileges. Such an acquisition would be to him, according to the World, as fatal as Pandora’s box, or the Trojan horse, and as in convenient as the elephant the man drew in a lottery. It is a burden under which white men have all they can do to stagger forward, and it would be inconceivably cruel to lay it on the shoulders of the weaker nigger. This is the style in which it discourses of the mat ter: The white man of the United States is a very artificial being—the creation of centuries of progressing civilization. His wants and appetites are numerous, and he works to grat ify them. The original love of laziness, in herent in all men, lias been gradually worked out of him. He is as different from the black man South as a horse from the wild ass. The first thing the negro should be told is: We have made an experiment; we have, at an enormous cost, given you the opportunity of showing whether you are capable of becoming an equal citizen of the United States. You must show that you are; you can show that you are. As for the right of suffrage, men generally did not possess it in New York, fifty years ago, scarcely in any State of the Union. You are not fitted for it; you will not be fitted for it till your intelligence, sobriety and habits of industry are fixed facts. All depends upon yourselves. If you make as intelligent, indus trious and sober a population as the white, you must, in time, be equal witli the white; if not, you will dwindle like the Indian tribes. Oh, you rash Northern fanatics, who are studying how you shall elevate and civilize the negro, have you considered what a number of new desires and appetites you are thereby likely to put into him? He will want school houses, and churches, and books, and Lyce ums carpets on his floors, good food upon his table, money In his pocket, and a thousand other things, and he will have—oh misery!— he will have to work to earn them 1 The very idea is enough to draw tears from a block.— All the the oppressions and disabilities which in the form of black codes” the Southern States might choose to impose upon the Freed man, he could bear; hut to set before him the prizes of industry, to offer him the rewards of exertion, to stimulate him to the use of nerve and muscle and brain, is a refinement of cru elty of which none but a Northern fanatic could be capable. We are unable further to pursue so painful a subject. Whitefleld’s Last Sermon, The Now York correspondent of a Boston paper states that Mr. Whitefield, the famous sensation preacher of three-quarters of a cen tury ago, preached his last sermon in the Con gregational church, on the Parade Ground, so called, in Portsmouth, N. H, Dr. Abel Ste vens, who has written a full and interesting history of Methodism in thi3 country, tells a different story, and states that on his way from Portsmouth to Newburyport, Whitefield preached his last sermon in the open air at Exeter. The following is his account of the closing labors of this remarkable man: During six days he (Whitefieid) preached there (Portsmouth) and in the vicinity every day. Returning, he addressed a vast assem bly in the open air at Exeter. His emotions carried him away and he prolonged his dis course through two hours. It was an effort of stupendous eloquence—his last field triumvh; the last of that series of mighty sermons which had been resouuding like trumpet blasts for thirty-four years over England and Amer ica. We departed the same day for Newburyport, where it was expected he would preach on the morrow. While at supper the pqvement in front of the house ami even its hall were crowded with people impatient to hear a few words from his eloquent lips; but he was ex hausted, and rising from the table said to one of the clergymen who were with him, “Broth er, you must speak to these dear people, I can not say a word.” Taking a candle he hasten ed towards his bedroom, but bolore reaching it he was arrested by the suggestion that he ought not thus to desert the anxious crowd, hungering for the bread of life from his hands, lie paused on the stairs to address them. He had preached his last sermon; this w^s to be his last exhortation. It would seem that some pensive misgiving, some vague presenti ment touched his soul with the saddening ap prehension that the moments were too pre cious to be lost in rest. He lingered on the stairway while the crowd gazed up at him with tearful eyes, as Elisha at the ascending proph et. His voice, never perhaps surpassed in its ntnsic and pathos, flowed on until the candle which he held, in his hand burned away and fcU into the socket. The next morning he was not,for God had taken him. Mr. W hitefields remains were entombed in a vault under a church in Newburyport, but whether they rest in the same place now or have heen removed to another locality we are not prepared to say. Recent Publications. War Lyrics, and Other Poems. By Henry Howard Brownell. One vol. 16ino. pp 250. Bos ton Tlcknor and Fields. In tlds little volume, appropriately dedicated to Vice Admiral Farragut, we find the greater portion of those vivid and stirring lyrics of the war which Mr. Brownell has contributed during the past five years to ibe pages of the Atlantic Monthly and other works. In addition to these, it includes quite a num ber of poems upon miscellaneous topics, most of which, we think, have not before appeared in print. No writer among us excels, or indeed equals Mr. Brow nell in a certain fheility of forcible expression, in the power of flashing a whole scene upon the mind of his reader in the electric light of a single vivid word. In this respect we know no English poet who can compare with him unless it be Camp bell. As instances of this unusual power we need only cite some passages in tho poem called “The Bay Fight,” and the whole of that remarkable production entitled “Down!” and bearing date April, 1865.— Often, too, his fiery verse rovcals a vein of unusual tenderness and depth of feeling. In this strain are the poems inlhis volume entitled “Midnight,” “Old Papers,” and “Long Ago.” nis noble tribute to Abraham Lincoln, is one of the very best which have been called out by the universal sentiment of love and regret for the patriot martyr. No collection of poems of equal individuality and merit has lately been issued by the American Press Davis Brothers have it for sale. The Freedmen’h Book. By L Maria Child. One vol. 16 mo. Boston: Tlcknor and Fields. The aim and purpose of this volume are, perhaps, best set forth in the following address to the Freed men which appears in the form of a preface. “I have prepared this book expressly for you, with the hope that those of you who can read will read it aloud to others, and that all of you will de rive fresh strength and courage from this true record of what colored men have accomplished, under great disadvantages. I have written all the biographies over again, in or der to give you as much information as possible in the fewest words.

Whatever money you pay for any of the volumes will be immediately invested in other volumes lobe sent tofreedmen in various parts of the country, on the same terms; and whatever money re mains in my hands, when the book ceases to sell, will be given to the Freedmen’s Aid Association, to be expended in schools tor you and your children.

Tlic hall last evening was filled to its utmost capacity, and the lecture exceded in interest any which had gone before it. We have room only for a brief synopsis. The speaker said that when Napoleon was scaling the Alps for empire, an humble Frenchman, whose name the world had not learned to pronounce, was scaling the same Alps for science. Napoleon added no domain to the eagles of France. That humble Frenchman added a new prov ince to the domain of human knowledge. The speaker showed how he had decyphered a vol. ume of the earth’s history from the structure of these mountains. Their birth hud destroy ed the dynasty of great reptiles. Nature al ways achieves higher ends by revolution. Mammals followed these reptiles. The chief cemetery of these pre-Adamites is found in northern Nebraska. It is a little world in ruins,—a vast sunken land Aill of bones and teeth and skulls. They are petrifaction of lions and tigers, the hippopotamos, camel, and other types no longer represented in nature. America in that old time had some fourteen species of elephants. And she had a huge beast allied to the sloth. A copy of Its skele ton may he seen in the Boston Natural History rooms. The Professor said we had a noble institution in Portland; but it awaits from Portlanders the benefactions which had en dowed the Boston Society. For the present we must see the remains of these great beasts in Boston. He described the primeval sloth, and gave the audience a restoration of it. These great beasts were pre-Adamite, but the world was ready for man. The Professor maintained that Asia was the cradle of the race. He gave the facts which bear upon the antiquity of man, and thought the conclusions of Lyell were premature. The question is still an open one. A more important question, he said, was how man originated. He dis cussed the views of Darwin and his school, and excited the audience to frequent applause and laughter by detailing the Darwinian pro cess of building a man from a monkey. Maintaining that man is an emanation from the Infinite, a direct creation, he spoke, in con clusion, of his dignity and high destiny. The peroration was powerfiil, and its close was greeted by enthusiastic applause. We could not say anything more emphatic iu commendation of these lectures than to noto the fact that the Natural History Society ad journ their sessions to attend them. The Independent Lectures. The attention of our readers is called to the advertisement of lecturers engaged for the “Independent Course.” It will he observed that the names of Maj. Gen. Chamberlain, of this State, and Mrs. Frances Ellen Harper, of Maryland, who so acceptably delivered the lecture on Friday evening last, have been add ed to the list. We are informed by the Committee that, at the earnest solicitation of many patrons of this course of lectures, who listened to Mrs. Harp er’s recent lecture, an engagement has been made with her for a second lecture, to be de livered on Friday evening, January 26,1S66. Subject to be announced hereafter. Gen. Chamberlain will deliver his lecture, on the “Maine 20th Regiment at Gettysburg,” on Friday evening, Dec. 15th. It will be seen that by this arrangement the “Independent Course” consists of Nine Lec tukes in addition to those already delivered, making the whole course twelve in number, the balance of which are offered to the public lor the low price of “one dollar,” embiaciug an array of talent rarely brought together in one eoursc of lectures. Nor should it he for gotten that the entire proceeds of the Inde pendent Lectures this year, after defraying ex penses, go into the Treasury of the “Portland Freedmen’s Aid Association.” The lecture for this (Tuesday) evening will he delivered by Maj. Gen. Kilpatrick, whose name is enough, we venture to predict, to bring every seat into requisition. At the close of the lecture, we are author ized to say, the citizens present at the lecture, will have an opportunity to he introduced to the distinguished and gallant officer upon the platform. Census of Portland. A census of this City has recently been taken by order of the City Council. The bus iness was done by S. B. Beckett, Esq., who has submitted his report to the City Council.

It has now been pub lished about two mouths, and its success fully justifies the confident piedictions of its pub lishers. A letter from one of the most promi nent music teachers in the country, just received, says, “To say that I like it would be too mild a phrase. I am thoroughly and decidedly in love with it.

U. B. COMMISSIONERS OOUBT. WM. H. CLIFFORD, ESQ., COMMISSIONEB. Timothy Carey of this city, who was before the Commissioner last week on a complaint charging him with pursuing the business of a retail liquor dealer, without taking out a U. S. Revenue license, was again before the Com missioner yeSterday. On taking out a grocer’s licence and a liquor dealer’s license, be was discharged. Patrick Doyle of this city was brought be fore the Commissioner for carrying on the retail liquor business without a U. S. Revenue license. He was ordered to recognize in the sum of $150 for his appearance at the U. S District Court this afternoon. He furnished the sureties and was discharged. John Bray of Deer Isle was brought before tue A/uiixiinsaiuiiei tuargcu wiui larcexxy uxx lilts high seas of a fishing boat and other articles) the property of Cephas Gardiner. G. F. Tal bot, U. S. District Attorney, appeared for Gov ernment, and Messrs. Evans and Putnam for the accused. The evidence in the case did 'not sustain the complaint, and Bray was dis charged. Charles N. Raymond, who failed to appear on Saturday, through a third party settled the case, and paid the license, penalty and costs, and was discharged. Karl Akers.—The studio in the City Hall does not appear to have been temporari ly deserted without sufficient reason. We learn that Mr. Akers has modelled a head of the poet Longfellow which is regarded by the literati of Cambridge as eminently successful. He lias also finished a bust of Mrs. J. R. Low ell, and has orders for heads in bronze of Dr. Holmes, Prof. C. E. Norton, and R. W. Emer son. Capt. Volney Cushing, from California, was robbed on the steamer New York, be tween Boston and Portland, this morning of between $2,500 and $3,000—consisting of a one thousand dollar gold draft on Waller Lees, New York; a one thousand dollar bond, June series, Number 28,200; and about four hundred and fif ty dollars in greenbacks. Pay ment on the draft and bond has been stopped. Overhoard.—Dennis Sullivan, residing in Cobb’s Court, having imbibed too much had whisky, fell overboard last evening from Brown’s wharf. The captain of a schooner near by heard Sullivan floundering in the mud and water, and went in a boat to his relief and rescued him, for Dennis was too drunk to help himself. _ Household Words.—Delicious, refresh ing, purifying, preservative, indispensable, ex quisite. are the terms applied to the famous Sozodont, in thousands of households every day. And why? Simply because all the vir tues mendaciously claimed for other denti frices, actually exist in this wonderful prepara tion. dec5 t t s Masonic. —The following officers were elected at the meeting of Oriental Lodget No. 13, Bridgton, on the 2d instant: William Chute, W. M.; Washington Chaplin, S.W.; AH. Stuart, J. W.; Nathaniel Pease, Treas urer; Isaiah S. Webb, Secretary; Samuel Stuart, S. D.; I. H. Kimball, J. D. You can find thyme, sweet marjoram, sum mer savory, sage, and shaker herbs, the growth ot 1865, also the best flavoring extracts for family use, at Crosman Co.’s Drug Store, 75 Middle street. The collection taken up at the Congress Square Universalist Church, Sunday evening, in behalf the Home for Aged Indigent Females, amounted to $143, Knighted.—We are pleased to learn that our townsman, Josiali Pierce, Jr., Esq., now in business at St. Petersburg, has recently been invested with Knighthood, by the Em peror of Russia. The order is that of St. Anne, one of the three highest orders in Rus sia. It is very gratifying to notice the friend ly disposition of the Emperor towards our country and its citizens, and we are especially pleased in this instance, at his appreciation of the abilities and accomplishments of one from our own midst. We are sure that the numer ous friends of Mr. Pierce, in this city, and vi cinity, will join with us in congratulating him upon his new honors. Will our friend “W” inform us what citizens of Maine have ever been knighted before We think only of Sir Joshua Phipps, and Sir Wm. Pepperell. Ho v was it with Admiral Tate? Christmas Fair. We learn that our friends of the Swedenborgian Society, are get ting up a Fair, which will come off at Christ mas, and that they have had the pantomine of Cinderilla, for some time hi rehearsal, as part of the entertainment to be offered. We have no doubt it will be finely got up and efficiently carried out. Attempts at Store Breaking. At* tempts were made last Saturday night to break into a store on Milk street, and one on Cotton Street, but the robbers were unsuccess ful, having been interrupted by something or other, during their operations. From our Travelling Correspondent. Union Village, N. H., Dec. 1,1865. To the Editor of the Press: Allow me to give to your readers a brief re sume of matters which have fallen under my notice the past week, in a trip along the line between Maine and New Hampshrie. PORTSMOUTH is just now somewhat excited over the order from the Navy Department which reduces the working force in the navy yard at Kittery about one half. Some eighteen hundred men have been employed in the yard, about 900 of whom are to be discharged. As no one knows who is to go or who remain, the “anxious seats” are pretty well filled. To-day, howev er, will relieve this anxiety and matters will soon resume their wonted quiet. It is believ ed that several contemplated private enter prises will be soon put in operation, with the view of furnishing employment to the dis charged workmen and retaining them in city. SALMON FALLS has nearly resumed its old time activity and bustle. The new mill is rapidly approaching completion and will soon be in operation.— The factory now in operation is worked to the extent of its capacity, some portions of the machinery running a part of the night. GEEAT FALLS is likewise prosperous, the only limit being the number of mill-operatives who can be obtain ed. As yet a considerable portion of the fac tory machinery is lying idle from the d:fficulty of securing female operatives. This obstacle is, however, gradually being overcome. ROCHESTER has of late been the theatre of stirring events. Some three weeks since, the friends of hu manity, becoming alarmed at the boldness of the rum traffic and the havoc being wrought by it, determined to “clean the critter out.” Arrangements were accordingly made and writs were issued against all the prominent dealers in the ardent, including hotels and a large number of saloons and lower class drink ing places. The monster growled and kicked fearfully but the law took its course and all who were convicted were bound over to ap pear at the Supreme Court, and put under $200 bonds to cease the sale. Foithwith down came the hotel signs and the hotel yards were fenced in by their incensed proprietors.— Strangers could find no accomodations, the landlords declaring they did not “keep hotel.” In a few days, however, the fences were re moved, though the signs were not replaced, and liquors were slyly sold to “the faithful.”— The friends of Temperance were ready, and new wilts were issued, the bonds were declar ed forfeited and new ones imposed, and thus blow upon blow was showered upon old hydra head till now the traffic is virtually closed. At any rate the Temperance committee are still on their guard, determined at all hazards to root out the curse and to preserve their beau tiful t*wn from its blighting influences. The carnival of crime which lias prevailed of late in our cities and larger towns is not confined exclusively to them. On Saturday evening last, Rochester was the scene of a dar ing highway robbery of the garotting stamp. A young gentleman from Farmington was in duced by a pretended friend to “take a walk” into a somewhat secluded by-way where three confederates appeared who attempted the garotting process. Not entirely successful in this, a slung shot came into use and the gen tleman was knocked down, his money taken from him, and he severely kicked and bruised. One of the miscreants, all of whom are young men or boys, have been secured and waits his trial; the others have escaped though it is probable all will be captured. is at present the terminus of the Great Falls and Conway R. R. It is a thriving little vil lage of some three of four hundred inhabi tants and the centre of a very extensive trade and taavel from the country above. The vil lage is embosomed among lofty hills, moun tains rather, which form an outlying spur of the White Mountains. Four stage lines centre here furnishing passenger and mail facilities to the broad belt of country comprising the border towns of Maine and New Hampshire. Several extensive lumber manufactories are located here, with foundries, car shop, &c. Engineers have been for some weeks en gaged in surveying different routes for the ex tension of the railroad in the direction of Conway. It is proposed to commence work on this extension the coming spring. All things considered however it is doubtful if the enteiprise is completed for many years. It certainly would be a death blow to the pros perity of this village. Of other places farther up the line in mv next. S. [From, the London Daily News, Nov. 17.] The Revolt in Jamaioa. THE ATROCITIES OF THE BRITISH TROOPS. That it may be seen on wliat species of evidence British officers, commanding a Queen's regiment, can thus act as hangmen of captives made by special constables out of a “camp,*’ we subjoin Col. Hobbs' own account ol his chief approver, and of bis method ot investigation, or, as he calls it, “coming to an un derstanding “I must not forget to tell you that I have got Paul Bogle's valet for my guide—a little fel low ol extraordinary intelligence. A light rope tied to the stirrup, and a revolver now and then to hisfl head, cause us to understand each other; and he knows every single rebel in the island by name and face, and has just been selecting the captains, colonels and secretaries out of an immense gang of prisoners just come in hero, whom i shall have to shoot to-mor row morning." Such are the dispatches of an officer In command of regular troops. We have now to request our readers' attention to the following extract from a letter of the special correspondent ol the Jamaica Standard:— “The supposed rebels that were captured and brought in during the day of Tuesday last, and early in the following morning, were examined by the provost marshal at his office, hut beyond being stragglers, nothing was proved that warranted the committal of the whole of ihem before a court martial. About thirty were, one by one, lashed to a gun and caltgd, receiving fifty lashes on the bare back, laid on alter the man-of-war tashion, and the rest (about twenty) committed as robels. Among the rebels was George Marshal, a brown man of about twenty-five years old, who, on receiving forty-seven lashes, ground Ills teeth and gave a terocious look ot defiance at the provost marshal. He was immediately ordered to be taken from the gun and hanged. No time was lost, and he was accordingly strung up in the presence of the insurrectionists," Can it be Englishmen who do these things in a British Colony, where British laws exist and a British governor represents the queen? Is it British officers who thus, pursuing men who never fire a shot in self-defence, but fling down their arms and pray tor protection, answer the prayer by the cat and the halter? Is it actually in this nineteenth centu ry that we read in the English language ol men hung and shot by the dozen on evidence of a wretched chikl, who is bound to his captor's saddle, and, with a revolver at hte head, “to understand” his captor's wishes? And is it among civilized men that we hear of a miserable “brown man,” against whom nothing could be proved warrant ng his even being tried, yet lushed to a gun and flogged, and then, because at Ihe forty-seventh lash he ground his teeth and gave a ferocious look, instantly ordered to be taken from the gun and banged? Qreyen it we try to stop our ears and shut out worn our thoughts such revolting scenes, what are wo in coldest blood, to say of the bare facts of a “rebellion” of one day, in which forty lives were lost, and for which between 200 and 400 “rebels” are va riously estimated as having been shot or hung In tw$ly$ d%yg of retribution 7 t BY TEIEGRAPH, TO THE DAILY PRESS.

HOUSE. vr— a t _ t i. rsv— son, Clerk, proceeded to call as require# by law the roll of the members elect. While the roll was being called, Mr. May nard, of Tennessee, whose name had not been placed on the roll by Mr. McPherson, wanted to suggest something, but the Clerk refused to be interrupted. After the call was completed, Mr. Maynard again rose to speak, but the Clerk again ruled him out of order. One hundred and seventy-five members an swered to their names. Mr. Jas. Brooks, of New York,made a speech characterizing the omission of names of mem bers from Tennessee from the rolls, as unpre cedented, unjust, uncalled for. The House took no action on the subject, but proceeded to the election of Speaker, which resulted as follows: Schuyler Colfax, of Indiana, 139; Jas. Brooks, of New York, 35. Mr. Colfax was conducted to the chair, when he returned his thanks in a brief and eloquent speech. The oath of office was then administered to the members. Mr. Stevens presented the bill which was approved in the Republican caucus, for the appointment of a committee to examine and report whether any of the so-called Confederate States are entitled to representation in Con gress. Under a suspension of the rules, the bill passed by a vote of 133 against 26. Adjourned. From Louisiana. New Orleans, Dec. 2.

n—————y■fp———■———■^—w—— _Poetry. The Cockney. BY JOHN G. SAXE. It was ill my loreign travel, At a famous Flemish inn, Tliat I met a utoutisli person With a very ruuy skin j And his hair was something sandy, And was done 1n knotty curls, An J wa, parted in the middle, In the manner of a girl’s. Ho was clad iu chequered trousers, And his coat was of a sort To suggest a scanty patera, It wa* bobbed ho very short; And his cap was very little, Such as soldiers ojten use; And ao wore a pair of gaiters, And exttemely heavy shoes. I addressed the man in English And hj answered in the same, Though he spoke it iu a fashion Thai I thought a little lame; For the aspirate was missing Wlvre the letter should have been. And where it wasn’t wanted. He was sure to put It iu! When I spoke with admiration Of St. Peter’s uiighly dome, He remarked:—“’Tis really nothing To the sights we ’ave a ’omel” Anil declared upon his honor— Though of course 'twasvery queer; That he doubted if the Homans »Ad the hart of making beer! Then we talkod of other countries, And he said that he had heard Thai 11 amor leans spoke Hinglisli, But h: deemed it quite habaurd; Yot he felt the deepest ^interest In the missioniry wont, And would like to kuow if Georgia Was in Boston or New York! When I left the man in gnlten, He was grumbling o’er his gin, At tho charges of the hostess Of that lainous Flemish inn; AnA lie looked a very ■Briton, (So metMuks X sec Mm still,) As ho pocketed the cand.e Tnac was mentioned in the bit*. Petroleum V. Naaby on the Labor Question. Chxjbcb try the Sx.aivtep.ed innocents, 1 (Late Valandigcm), Jan. 16, ’64. J Trouble air a cumin upon me thicker and faster. “Men change, but principles never,” hez bin a favorite motto ov mine ter ycers, and bleevin in the grate priucipple ov the strong owning the week, or in other words, slaivry, I shal newer sense my efforts to mailt it universal. Ther bein a unreasonable preju dis in the minds ov the week ov my congrega tion aginst bein the perpetooal servanee ov them as nacher hez maid to rool, I called a special meetin of my flock to consider the mat ter. I interdoost the matter thus: lly Hager I proved that slaivry was scriptooraL By “cus sid is Kanan,” et settry, I shode conclusively that the nigger was the identisle individjule who was to be the sed slaiv atoresed. Then it wuz put to vote, and it was unanimously resolved thet Aferken slaivry be interdoost amung us. I n atist with pleashure that the poorer the individjule, the moar anxshus he seamed to own a nigger. Opinions were then inter changed. Absolum Kitt, who is a carpenter, and w'ho never saved dollar, hevin alluz hed a sick wife and a large family of children, sed he felt that a grate work hed been done that nite. The proud Angle-Saxun, whom nacher intended to rool, had that nite bepn elevated 2 his normal speer. Hens4tli ther wuz no moar laber fer him. He hed a contrack to bild a bowse for brother Podhammer, anil he hed no doubt that the brothrin who wuz ble3t with means wood make up a puss and enable him to buy a nigger carpenter to do his work. joivuiur rouuauiiner aroze, no, uv coarse, wood be glad to assist brutber Kitt, but dooty 2 his family reairaladiffjrent lino of akshan. His idee wuz to purchis a nigger carpenter, hisself, and—” “What!” exclaimed Kitt. Brother Podliammer resoomed. He intend ed to by a nigger hisself; and bild his bowse. The sheer buty ov the grate system, and the one that makes it altogether luviy, is that you ldn by your own labor. “But.” said Kitt, “what kin I do if you I work nigger carpenters “Trooiy,” sez Podliammer, “I kno not. A carpenter kin be purcliast for 1,000 dolleis, the interest ov which is 00 doliers, and his keepin say 100 more par annum. Now ef brother Kitt’ll cum to them w.igis, and he modritely umble, I mite, for his saik, forego the exqusit pleashure uv hevin a nigger to flog, and still employ him.” “llut,” says Kitt, turning pale, “my family wood starve on them wages. Wy, I might ez well be a nigger myself.” At this point I lilted up my voise. I exort ed Bro. Kitt to patience. The grate dimocrat ic idee that eapytle sliood one laber must be established. It may bare lard upon individ jules, but wliat then? John lingers went calmly to the stake for principple. Ef brother Kitt do not like to accept his normal condition at wunst, he kin go to some le38 favored coun try, where the grate institution is not estab lished. Brother Podger, a blacksmith, sed he sup posed the ricli wuns wood by a nigger black smith, and let him emigrait. Brother Snipes, a plasterer, made a similar observasliun. Uro Punt, a bricklayer, remark! likewise. Where upon they ail, in corus, similarly exclaimed they’d see us d-d fust, and then they wood ent» Whereupon they reconsidered their re solution establishin slaivry. Kitt and his heretix waz not at church last Sunday. Trooiy, a reformer’s Jordan is a hard road to travie I bleeve.—Petbolkum V. Nas by, Pastureof sed Church, in charge. Alex attended church last Sabbath, where they have scientific (quartette) singing, and was surprised at the difference between scien tific singing and that he had been accustomed to in the backwoods. He brought a specimen of the style, which is copied from the original: Waw-kaw, nwaw daw aw raw Thaw saw thaw law aw waw; Waw-kaw taw thaw raw vaw yaw braw Aaw thaw raw-jaw saw awB. Which rendered into English reads as fol lows Welcome, sweet day of rest, That saw the Lord arise; Welcome to this reviving breast Ana these rejoicing eyes. Alex says that in the country they are green enough to think it necessary for good singing that the words of the hymn should be sung.— How very verdant! Jeremiah Mason was engaged as’ counsel in the celebrated trial of Rev. E. K. Avery, a Methodist divine, for the murder of a young lady in Rhode Island. He experienced great difficulty in obtaining sufficient evidence to establish his case, when one night about twelve o clock, as he was hard at work, a well known clergyman rushed in upon him breath less with excitement, and es claimed— “Mr. Mason, I’ve got tbe evidence that will clear brother Avery.” “Well,sir, what is it?” “Yes, sir, I have it. I had a dream last night in which the Angel Gabriel appeared and said Avery was innocent.” “Very good, sir; then take that summons and have it served on Gabriel at once!” A negro about dying was told by his minis ter that he must forgive a certain darkey against whom he seemed to entertain very bit ter feelings. “Yes sail,” he replied. “If I dies iSt**4 nitp; but if I get well dat nigg must take care.” Seizure of Goods.

JOHN H. DOW SONS, 29 Exchange St* Portland, Nov. 1, 1865. nov3TT&stf TWO REASONS WHY THOSE WHO “A c t. W i 8 e 1 y SHOULD INSURE THEIR LIVES -IN THE MUTUAL BENEFIT Life Insurance Co, 1st,-IT IS THE SAFEST Because its net Assets exceed those of any Life Insurance Co. in the United States. 2nd,-IT IS THE CHEAPEST; Because it is paying bach to its members larger Dividends, and more of them, than any other Co. in the United States. Tlie necessary result Is, it costs LESS to insure In it than in any other. Comparisons will Confirm these Facts. Those who really wish to know all the facts, vitally important to their own intereit, before paying out their money, are invited to call at this office, where every facility Is cheerluUy o tie red to understand the whole subject.

TIIE CHARTER OAK Life Insurance Company declares Dividends each year, and pay3 them at the payment of the second and each succcding premium, thus aiding the insured in meeting their payments by au IMMEDIATE RETURN. The advantages of this system over that of divi dends payable after a term of yearn without interest, are obvious. No other Company pays dividends in this way. The Dividends of the Charter Oak are equal in value to those of any Life Co. Dividends without interest payable in four or five years, or at death, suffer a remarkable diminution when reduced to their present value. PROMPTNESS In the payment of losses is a distinguishing feature oi this Company, IT NEVER HAVING LITIGATED A CLAIM! C ABE Also in the selection of risks, its losses for the last six years having hecn from 30 to 70 pr. ct. less than offany other Co. ofaaloag standing. These facts in connection with its well-known char acter for integrity, commend this Company to the consideration of all desiring Life insurance. Office Ho. 64 Middle Street, Room No. 1, S. U.

Bradford’s Medicated Tonic! And Jjife Invigorator, 13 the oidy reliable and sure cure for Consumption, Bronchitis, Sore Throat, Coughs and Colds. In the above cases the Medicated Tonic and Life Invigorator should be taken together. For an adult a wine glass full of the Medicated Tonic three or four times a day; if the patient is much reduced, a large spoonful once in two or three hours. The Life Invigorator is a very powerful Tonic, and should be taken with more care. A half teaspoonfull should be taken three times a day, in a little water, after eating. It is purely vegetable and is sure to add tone and vigor to the whole system. One botttle of the Life Invigorator, accompanied according to di rections, with the Medicated Tonic, is warranted to cure in most cases. It is certain to restore vitality and vigor to the system which will conquer and throw off the disease, restoring the patient to perfect health and strength. xu. uiiuxuxg lueso lueuicmus 10 me puouc i am not speaking too highly of their merits, when I say that there is nothing in the whole catalogue of remedies for the cure of Consumption, that will any where near approach it in efficacy or real merit. Having suffered for two years with the terrible dis ease—Bronchial Consumption—in its worst form,and having exhausted the fullest resources of the medical iepartment for that special disease, employing the best Doctors in the city, and my case given up by them as being perfectly hopeless, I then resorted to the trial of patent medicines; having tried them thoroughly and receiving no benefit whatever from them, I became disheartened and discouraged, antic ipating that the frillcst expectations of my Doctors and friends would be realized. Through my whole sickness I have studied fully the working of this terrible disease through all its vari ous changes, and am prepared to say that no one, unless having the experience and chance of study that I have had, is as well prepared to manage and cure the disease. Therefore having merited the po sition I take, through actual experience, I announce to the public ray competency to warrant cure of Con sumption in all its various forms. Tills terrible dis ease is considered the greatest scourge to health in the New England States, because it has not been treated in a proper way. This I have learned by sub- i mitting to a general treatment lor tlie disease and realizing no benefit whatever, hut continued to grow worse, until my case was considered hopeless. I therelore,in consideration of my returning health j and ol the agencies that have been the cause of its restoration, do announce to the public that I am pre pared to supply medicines to order, to aDy part or the country,and also hold myself in roadmens to examine and treat personally or by letter anApase of a con sumptive tendency,that moves obstin^iand unyield ing under other modes of treatment.

WHITE PI\'E COMPOUND, Is now offered to the afflicted throughout the country, alter having been proved by the test of eleven years, »n the New England States, where its merits have become as well known as the tree from which, in part, it derives its virtues. TIIE WHITE PINE COMPOUND CURES Sore Throat, Colds, Coughs, Diphtheria, Bronchitis Spitting of Blood, and Pulmonary Affections generally. It is a remarkable remedy for Kidney Complaints, Dia betes, Difficulty ol Void ing Urine, Bleod from the Kidneys and Bladder, Gravel, and other complaints. For Piles and Scurvy, it will be found very valua ble. Give it a trial il you would learn the value of a good and tried medicine, li is pleasant, safe and sure. The White Pine Compound, advertised at length in rur columns, is not only as to its name inviting, but is a highly approved medicine. Dr. J. W. Poland, the inventor, has the confidence of many who know him, a confidence which he enjoyed while laboring usef ully mauy years as a Baptist minister. His ex perience as a sufferer led to him to make experiments which issued in his modi cal discovery.—Boston Watchman and Reflector, The Editor of the Manchester Daily and Weekly Mirror, in a leader of the Daily, thus writes of the Compound. “Tne White Pine Compound is advertised at much length in our columns, and we are happy to learn that the demand for it is increasing beyond all previous expectations. It the very beat medicine for' Coughs and Colds we know of, and no family that has once used it will bo without it. We speak from our own knowledge, it is sure to kill a cold and pleasant as sure. The greatest inventions come by accident, and it is singular that the White Pino Compound made fov (.’olds and Coughs should prove to bo the greatest remedy for kidney difficulties known. But so il is.— We cannot doubt it, so many testimonials come to us from well-known men. Besides the character of Dr. Poland is such, that we know that he will uot coun tenance what is wrong. For years a Baptist cler gyman, studying medicine to find remedies for his ailments, with a delicate consumptive look, standing with one foot upon the grave, he made .he discovery which has saved himself, and called out. from hun dreds of others, the strongest testimonials possible. We have known Dr. Poland for years, and never knew a more conscientious, honest, upright man and are glad to state that wo believe whatever he says about his White Pine Compound.” Sold by all Druggists, and dealers in medicine gen ally. d XT'.

Every intelligent and thinking person must know that remedies handed out f«,r general use should have their‘ efficacy established by well tester 1 experience in the hamls of a regiilarlv educated physician, whose preparatory studies fits him for aU tlm duties he must fulfill; jet the country is Hooded with poor nostrums and cure-alls, purjiorting to be the bestiii the world, arc uot only useless, but always iujuriena. The un fortunate should be particular hi selecting his jilivsician, as it is a lamentable yet inconlrovert abfo fact, that many syphilitic patients are made miserable with ruined constitutions by maltreatment from inexperienced physicians in general practice; for it is a point generally conceded by the Vest syphil ographers, that the study and management of these complaints should engross the whole time of those who would bo competent and successful in their treat ment and cure. The inexperienced general practit ioner, having neither opportunity nor time to make himself acquainted with their pathology, commonly {tursues one system of treatment, in most cases maki ng an indiscriminate use of that antiquated and dan gerous weapon, the Mercury. HAVE CONFIDENCE. KA!1 who hnvo committed an excess of any kiml, whether it be ilio solitary vice of youth, or the hang ing rebuke of misplaced confidence in maturcr yea;:-, SEEK FOR AN ANTIDOTE IN SEASON. The Pains and Aches, and Lassitude and Nervous Prostration that may follow impure Coition, arc the Barometer to the whole system. Do not wait for the consummation that is sure to fol low: do not wait tor Unsightly Ulcers, for Disabled Limbs, for Loss of Beauty and Complexion. HOW MANY THOUSANDS CAN TESTIFY TO THIS BY UNHAPPY EXPERIENCE! Young men troubled with emissions in sleep,—a complaint generally the result of a bad habit in youth,—treated scientifically, and a perfect cure war ranted or no charge mode. Hardly a day j^asses but we are consulted by one or more young man witli the above disease, some oi whom are as weak and emaciated as though they had the consumption, and by their friends supposed to liavo it. All such cases yield to the proper and only correct course of treatment, and in a short time are made to rejoice in perfect health. MIDDLE-AGED MEN. giThcre are many men at the age of thirty who are oublcd with too frequent evacuations from the Mad der, often accompanied by a slight smarting or burn ing sensation, and weakening the system in amannei til*' pati»*ui cannot account for. On exMPhffljg fill urinary deposits a ropy sediment will often lie found, and sometimes small particles of semen or albumen will appear, or the color will be of a thin miikish hue, a^ain changing to a dark and turbid appearance. There are many men who die of this difficulty, ignor ant of the cause, which is the SECOND STAGE OF SEMINAL WEAKNESS.
