Enlist,ng for tho Cavalry Service.

During the past week we have been en-
gagged for the most part in canvassing the
County for recruits TO ill up the Cavalry
Company which we have been authorized to
raise in this County. AL the enlistment' for
the Cavalry in this County is to be done
through us, and we are meeting with good
success. On Tuesday evening we addressed a
meeting held in the Town Hall in Shapleigh,
and our appeal to the patriotism OF the young
men Of that place was nobly responded to.
The meeting was full one, and before we
leit on Wednesday morning, with the aid OF
y. w. Pray, Esl., of that place, who is coop
Grating with US in that section, ten, all Of them
temperate and intelligent men, enlisted and we
have a fine prospect Of still larger number
from that place. Mr.. Paul Chadbourne OF
WATERFORD. one Of the best citizens there, is
cooperating with us In that section. He and
his brother Collins have enlisted and there are
others In WATERFORD who design initiating
their good example when an opportunity is
afforded them, to sign the papers. We shall
ill up the company as fast as possible.

Y Cannot Brother Pike, OF the Augusta
Age, do us the favor OF adjourning the dis
cussion OF that question about "Republican
magnanimity," innOcently raised by Ourseli
we admit, until the close OF the war. When
that is over, rebellion squelched out, we will
take up the question, If our cotemporary de-
sires. We have no taste, If we had time, to
discuss questions involving Partizan views
Al present we know no difference, 50 far as
the prosecution Of the war is concerned, be-
tween loyal Democrat and a loyal Republl-
can. Republican inasnanimi.y appeals to
Democratic masnanimity to ignore the con-
sidcntion Of all questions calculated to make
us know the difference. Brother Pike your
generous spirit cannot resist the appeal.

For the Union and Journal.
A short Letter to the Editor OF the
Saco Democrat.

DE,R Sal wish to have some plain
words with You on public matters.
You know this Government is struggling
for existence. You know strong aud willy
band Of traitors are striving to ovefturn il.
You know that the triumph Of the traitors
will he the destruction of Constitutional
Freedom in this country and in the world.
You know that the Government has right
to demand that all who enjoy its blessings
should give it their united and hearty sup
port in its struggle to live that it may still
continue to shower the blessings OF good
government and civil liberty upon yourself
and your friends.
Dare you say that this rebellion was not
an unprovoked, careless, and uneScusable
attack upon the Government? You know
better. You have not even the shadow of
truth for such an assertion. Dare you say
that the Government could for moment
exist il il did not use the most active and
energetic measures TO annihilate rebellion,
treason and traitors? In this terrible ordeal
through which the Republic is passing, is it
u good and sufficient reason for you to I'D
vOate opposition to the War and to the
Government because your political partizans
failed to elect their candidate for President?
Is such a course of conduct, in times Of
great public danger. compatible with your
ideas of a good citiuenH Do you base your
.loyalty to the Government entirely upon the
fact whether your partians gil its Offices or
not? Does not such action strike at the
sery tap root OF any Government at all?
There are men who read only one paper

which YOU have published and advocated is

WASHINGTON, Sept. 81.
The gallant defence Of Col. Mullisan il
the theme of admiration among the most
distinguished military men. 1t was not un.
ill last night, when telegram was received
from Gen. Fremont, that theprevious report
of the surrender was fully though reluctant.
ly credited. The latter. while informing the
Department that lie was on the eve Of start
ing with q heavy force, expresses the hope
that he will be able TO dislodgc the rebels
from the position they now occupy at Lex.

be everywhere manifested concerning that
point. including the military movements in
that direction.
The War Department has determined to
yacate the offices Of all Quartornasters, Com

pond promptly by filing their bonds and pro-
senting themselves for active service.

TIE ARREST OF SARGENT.-rhe report which
we published yesterday in regard to the re-
arrest of Sargent, proves to hayebcen correct
in the main. II appears that Sargent had
since his release, contemplated visiting New
Orleans, and on Monday, thinking the coast
clear, took the Grand Trunk. But his move
nents were watched, and information of his
departure sent to this city. Deputy Marshal
Head, on getting word, went to the Western
Depot, and finding his man on board the
train, quietly stepped in and sccreted him
self in saloon. Making contidant OF Mr..
Rowe, Conductor, Col. John Goddard, and
Ira Andrews of Bidceford. they quietly
seated themselves in such manner as to cut
of his escape should he attempt to leave the
train before the officer got ready to arrcs, him.
Just before arriving at the State line, Mr..
Head left the saloon, and approaching Sar-
gent, made him prisoner. when he attempt.
ed to get his hand into his bosom. Col.
Goddard Immediately grabbed Sargent be the
nape Of the neck, and put his hand into Sar-
gents bosom, and pulled out murderons
looking bowie knife. No other weapon was
found on him. At Newburyport, Sargent
attempted to leave the cars to speak to
friend who was awaiting him on the platform
but was prevented by those having him in
charge. On seeing Sargent in custody. the
friend quickly disappeared. Here u pair Of
handouts was procured and applied, and Sar-
gent very quietly went on his way to Fort
Lafayette. advertiser.
