Tho Cavalry Regiment.

Maine is to furnish Regiment Of Cavalry
for the war. II is to contain ten companies
Of ninety seven men each, and the Governor
under direction FROM the Secretary OF War,
has selected recruiting officers in various
sections Of the State. In this county enlist
ing papers have been sent to the Editor Of
the Union and Journal, who will proceed nj
once to fill company.
In another place we have inserted notice
Of our selection. our readiness to receive re.
cruits and give such Information in regard tc
the matter rs seems to be necessary for persons
contemplating enlistins in this arm of the
public service, to know. Our connection
with the enlisting of other companies in the
county has been such as to bring to our
knowledge the fact that there were persons
desiring to join a company Of Cavalry, and
now that the opportunity is afforded then
we trust il will be embraced with alacrity
and good company raised immediately
The government needs more men to put dowr
this wicked rebellion, and it is q patriotic
duty of those who can conveniently leav,
home in this crisis Of the Republic to enter
its service. We appeal to the patriotism
which we know the young men of York
county possess, not to be backward in answer
ing the call Of their country. We make nc
appeals on the score OF the pay, but on the
high and holy ground of devotion to their
country. The Union as it was sand the Con-
stitutiOn as it was bequeathed to us by our
fathers must be maintained, and the stout
hearted, the brave, and all, in tho sphere in
which they can act, are summoned to the
rescue. Our instructions are of such charac-
ter, as will ensure the formation of q CON-
pany Of intelligent and temperate men. We
mean to make the company desirable one
in which to enlist, and we rely confidently on
the patriotism Of the county to secure the
formation Of company which shall be second
to none in the regiment to which it is to be
attached. The pay Of a private is ga per
month and the government pays bounty OF
500 when the war closes. The regiment is
to rendezvous at Augusta, and horses arms
equipments and uniforms will be furnished by
the government.

From the Chicago Tribune
Biddeford, Sept. 1861.


FRIEND CowAN In my last, ! gave you
my opinion upon "poiifiedi amaigamation'
in the abstract. On Monday last, VIC gave a
practical view Of the same qncstion-by Civ
ing your Union candidate for Senator 2S7
votes in old South Berwick-whic his com.
petitor had but 2l3. We explained the
nature ola Union such as we desired, and,
in some towns there is enough of enlightened
patriotism for such move. But in Others,
were the attempt made, 1t would be carl.
caturc, somewhat resembling the Kings
image Of brass, iron and clay, without the
slightest cohesion. And when tho matter
was brought up in our County gathering,
we supposed that there would be more dis
cussion upon the subject. and had such been
the case, we intended to give 1t as our opin.
ion that the whole matter should DO left to
the discretion OF that individual delegation,
after having had the expression sentiment Of
the convention. 1--WE are loyal men, and as
such have no fears in trusting the judgment
of any association Of the same"-as the re.
suits of the recent election abundantly show.
We have never had so many base represeu-
tations to meet and overcome, as at this
election. Every advantage taken by circu-
latins printed handbills filed with the basest
lies. And even men who ought to know
better-and whose position ought to raise
them above such demonstrating farmers
whom suppose they call the common people,
that direct tax Is to be assed on the first Of
January, and another in three months, which
will equal their town, county and State tax
now and, that unless this war Is stopped
according to Mr.. Davis programmes. none
of us will opn his farm in three years
What plight tina! Some Of us are already
In the fix now! But nothing frightened yet.
We concluded that 1t were better to give one
half Of the house, farm, pigs and poultry to
stretch, sgeauaily, tho neck Of rebellion,
than to have the whole, and traitors knock
ING at the door. The sum OF the whole
matter is this, "tho' We are farmers Of the
middle class, or perhaps, little below this,
wo have read something beside the literature
Of the "Maine Democrat. And We havercad
this too, and, as We read Of the Editors pains
while in travail for the "Union men" OF the
Border States, lest Mr.. Lincoln's soldiers
should drive them into seoesson, We have
wondered. and read, and wondered again,

The Election Here.

The election in this City on Monday oil
las. week was a very quiet one. There were
no stree, disturbances. no tumult at the polls
and perfect order during the day. The result
we have already said was gratifying one.
The Republicans in solid body voted for
the candidates selected at the Union caucus.
who were elected by the triumphant majority
Of sixty in a poll Ofl3sS votes. Their course
in doing so under the circumstances is over
flowing testimony in favor OF their magnan-
unity and patriotism. After such an eShi-
bition of deyotedness to the country and Its
cause, they cannot be charged with being
bitter partirans, or Of thinking more OF party
than of their country. The gentlemen elected
were nominated in the hope that their Union
sympathies would not only be satisfactory to
the Republicans, but would also DO 50 to
Democrats Of Union prOclivitics. II this
expectation, so far as the receiving support
from Democrats, was not fully realized, 1t is
gratifying to know that success attended the
efforts of those who thought that in this
crisis il was the duty Of all patriotic men to
grasp the hands Of all who were friends to
the Union and the Constitution.
Previous to the election, there were two
meetings of the friends Of the Union, The
frs. we have already spoken OF, the last held
on Saturday evening previons to the election
was very large and enthusiastic. City Hall
was entirely filed, and tho speaker RICHARD
NJ. CHAPMAN, ESQ.,, was peculiarly happy in
his remarks, presenting the reasons which
should induce the voters to act together Tor
the cause Of the country, in forcible and
eloquent language, and eliciting from the
audience the strongest marks ofapprobation.
Mr.. Chapman is entitled to the thanks OF his
fellow citizens for his words Of patriotism
and activity in the canvass. Withdrawn as
he has been from the strife and turmoil Of
politics, his course in taking decided stand
for the country on this occasion, has been
instrumental Of much good. 1t has been a
rebuke to the sympathy with secession in
our midst, and contributed in no small degree
to moderate bitter partizan feeling, and
bring men together to act for the cause Of
our Country.

India Rubber Water Pipe.

The poisonous nature Of lead pipe for the
conducting Of water, has lead to the inven-
ton and manufacture OF a new article, the
basis Of which is India Rubber which is des-
tined to take the place Of all other pipes for
the use Of houses and farmers. II has many
advantages over the common lead pipe, even
If that was perfectly harmless. Its aexibility
is such that bending does not injurc it as il
does the lead, and water does not burst it by
freezing in it. II hardens rather than softens
by laying in the ground. We have in our pos
session piece which has laid in the ground
three years and it is hard Us horn, which i,
resembles very much in appearance. We
understand that it is being used quite extern
sively here. Ii is for sale at the hardware
store Of T. l.. Kimball in the City Building.
An advertisement of it with scale Of prices

inconsistency, voted the Dana list OF Sena-
tors. They could not vote for Dana, on ac-
count Of his secession prOclivities, but they
could vote for men standing on his platform.
As whole, the Republicans owe nothing to
those Democrats who voted tor Jameson in
