JUDGE HowE.-We clip the following
notice of the Senator elect from the
State Journal.
TIMOTHY OrIs HOWE was born in Ok
ford county, Maine, in 1918, and is con-
sequently in his 44th year. The Wash
burns were neighbors, or lived but three
or four miles distant, aud the recent rival
candidates for Senator were boys togeth-
err. After receiving q classical educ alton,
Mr.. Howe studied law and entered upon
the practice of bis profession at Readfield.
kennebec county, Maine. There he be-
came acquainted and formed an intimate
friendship with Lot NJ. Morrill,, just
elected to the Sem tie from Maine, which
has continued to the present time. In
his native State he served one or two
terms in the Legislature, VIM. Pitt Fess-
enden being O member of the same body
at the same time. 1915, he came to this
State then territory, and opened q law
office at Green Bay. In 1850 he was
elected Judge Of the Circuit and Supreme
Court, since which time his career in the
State is familiar to all.
As lawyer he ranks among the first
in the State, and rs public speaker he
has no superior III perspicuity Of style
and clearncSs of reasoning. His manner
when speaking is not unlike that of Mr..
Lincoln; deliberate, candid, and up peal
ing 10 the reason and conscience of his
hearers rather than to their passions and
preiudicos.

Through tho land tnere went blast;
There was arming where it passed;
Foemen's sails made white the sea,
Foemen's flags waved gorgeously,
And their horsemeD swept amain
Down the hill and DER the plain.
Stern to do, and strong to boar,
Brave men gathered everywhsre---
Gahered-trom the Northern seas
Dorchester's grim batteries,
TO the isle where vain tho ball
Struck the stout Pamsito wall.
Then, by Delaware there sst
Councillors in stern debate
Sacred was their deed and just,
And the freeman, pure, august,
To his God and for his land,
Raised in payer his red right hand.
Those brave, stalwart hosts are COTE
And the heart that led them on
To those daring deeds Of pride,
SAUNDERS on Potonsc's side;
Even his country's shame and fear.
Touch not there his shopping eac.
Now again tho trumpet blast,
Direful through the land has passed.
Day and night the forge is rcd,
And is heard the sontry's tread,
And tho watchworl and the drum,
And the gathering peoples hum.

Gs-- The following little sketch Of q
Maine ship-master, is by Mrs. Stowe, in
her new story, The Pearl of Orr's
Island roa being published in the N. Y.
Independent;
TO be sure, Zephaniah had read many
wide leaves of Gods great book Of Ma
ture, for, like most Maine sea-captains,
he had been wherever ship can go--to all
usual and unusual ports. His hard,
shrewd, weather beaten lissage had been
seen looking over the ratings of his brig
in the port of Genoa-swept round by
its splendid crested Apprentices. 1t had
looked out in tie Lagoons of Venice-at
that wavy floor which in evening seems a
sea Of glass mingled with fire, and out of
which rise temples and palaces and
churches and distant silvery Alps, like so
many fabrics of dream-land. He had
been through the Skagerrack and Gate
gat-into the Baltic to Archangel, and
there chewed bit Of chip and consider
ed and calculated what bargains twas
best to make. He had walked the streets
of Calcutta in his shrt-sleeves, with his
best Sunday vest, backed with black gla-
zed camtric, which six months before
came from the hands of Miss Roxy, and
was pronounced by her to be as good as
any tailor could make and in all these
places he was just Zephaniah Penncl-a
chip of old Maine-thrifty, careful, shrewd,
honest, God fearing, and carrying an in
stinctive knowledge of men and things
under face of rustic simplicity

.f.., PROCLAMATION. ..r.
To the Citizens Of The State Of Delaware.
Whereas. requisition has been made
upon the undersigned, as the Executive

retary Of War, for one regiment, consist
ing of seven hundred and eighty men, to
be Immediately detache from the militia
of this State, "to serve as infantry or ri
hemen, for the period of three months,
unless sooner discharged" And whereas
the laws of this State do not confer upon
the Executive any authority enabling him
to comply with such requisition, there
being no organized malitia nor any law
requiring such organization: And where
as it is the duty of all good and law.abid-
ing citizens to preserve the peace and sus-
tain the laws and government under

are protected:
Therefore, |, William Burton, Governor

ing in him such authority. They will,
however, have the option of Offering their
services TO the general government, for
the defence of its Capitol, and the sup
port Of the Constitution and laws of the
country.
In witness whereof, &c., &c. April 25th,

Advice to Volunteers-How to Pre-
pare for the Campaign.

A writer, who signs himself IAN Old
Soldier" gives the following advice to
young soldiers: >.
|. Remember that in a campaign more
men die from sickness than by the bul,
let.
.. Line your blankets with one thick
ness of brown drilling. This adds but
four ounces in weight, and doubles the
warmth.
3. Buy small linda rubber blanket
(only 81 50) to lay on the ground or to
throw over your shoulders when on guard
duty during rain storm. Most OF the
eastern troops are provided with these
Straw to lie on is not always to be had.
4. The best military hat in use is the
light colored soft felt; the crown being
sufficiently high to allow space for all
over the brain. You can fasten it up MS
continental in fair weather, or turn il
down when it is wet or very sunny.
5. Let your beared grow, so as TO pro.
tect the throat and lungs.
6. Keep your entire person clean; this
prevents fevers and bowel complaints in
warm climates. Wash your body each
day, if possible. Avoid strong coffee and
oily meat. Gen. Scott said that the toe
free use of these together with neglect
in keeping the skin clean) cost many q
soldier his life in Mexico.
7. A sudden check of perspiration by
chilly or night air often causes fever and
death. When thus exposed do not for
get your blanket.

Washington Items,

The following are from the telegraphic
correspondence of the Tribune, lst:

Gen. Patterson, Of Pennsy lvania, which
will, when acted on. bring the question o!
the transit of troops to a satisfactory con-
clusion. ..
Those who know say that there exists a
definite and we'll considered policy on the
part Of the Administration with refer
ence to the present posture of affairs, and
that the strictly defensive attitude will

move. ... ..
An unfortunate affair occurred here on
SunoAy morning. A corporals guard
went to the house of one Boyd to arrest
him on a charge of endeavoring to raise
a company for the Southern army. Boyd
resisted, and, it is said, discharged re-
volver at the corporal. He was immedi-
ately shot dead. A coroner's inquest was
held, and, though the evidence was con-
flicting, it bore against the soldiers. They
to the number of eleven, were arrested
by the civil authorities, assisted by the
United States troops.

Preparations at Fort Pickens.

A letter from Pensacola to the Mobile
Advertiser, dated the 25th inst, says: "The
Yankees are still busy both in and around
Fort Pickens. They have removed some
of the barbette guns, for what purpose is
all conjecture. ! was told this morning
by an old sailor in these matters that the
Federalists have erected and planted nine
gun batteries outside Pickens. The guns
were likely taken from the fleet, as was
the case at Vera Cruz. They'll be trouble
some, worked by old tars. ..E GIL.

were landed this morning"

Under this order, inoffensive citizens

PEELED from the city, at the point of the

A Good Resolution,

At large meeting of the citizens of
Petersburg, Va, held few days since,
the following resolution was unanimously
adopted: u.. l.I
Resolrsd, That it is the duty of those
having arms, ammunition or provisions to
sell, not only not TO take advantage of the
wants of their fellow citizens, by advanc-
ing on the price of their goods, but to sell
them at prices little if anything, beyond
cost. '
The above we find in the Dispatch, and
is worthy of practical consideration in ev-
cry department of business. A man who
will speculate upon the public necessities
in times like the present, is certainly not
overstocked with patriotism.
