sSr The citizens of Bowdoinham, had a
profitable war meeting on Friday evening last,
which was addressed by Maj. II. w. Owen and

NAVAL REcRUIrs.-Wel learn from Augusta
that the Adutant General has no authority to
count Naval recruits as part of a towns quota
under the call for nine months men.
sB- Mr.. Case of the Advertiser has an
nounced his departure for Indiana, via Wash
ington, to be absent several weeks. He will
correspond for his paper in his absence.

sentative in Camden, but was defeated by ID.
III. Bisbee, ESQ., member of the last House, by
81 votes
sB- We publish the communication of n.
j. Davis, Esq, as matter of justice to him, as
he desired to be heard before the same tribunal
who had listened to the other side. Having
now given both sides hearing, we trust all
parties may be content to let the matter drop.
DRAFTING.-To-day Sept. 10th, is the day
when the draft is to be made to fill up the
quota of nine months men. In this city. as
well as in many other cities and towns, the
draft has been superseded by voluntary enlist
ments.
sE- From all directions in the western part
oil the State, our correspondents write us the
Jameson men have caved in and voted for
Bradbury. 1t is just as we predicted when
the Jameson committee surrendered their pres
hge, as representatives of a majority of the
Democracy, to get up an abortion in the name
of "a peoples convention" at Bangor.
sB- Hon. F. o. ]. Smith representative
elect from Westbrook, seems difficult of clas-
independent" The Adyertiser-Mr Smiths
own paper-styles him "Union.' The Argus
further represents his election as "gan over
republican vote of last year." The question
naturally arises, is the Advertiser-owned.c on
trolled and governed by Mr.. S.,-a republican
paper, or is u gain to the Argus side of the
house over the republican papers of last year?
sY- We publish a sharp article from "A"
which has been crowded out for several DAYS
by election matters. 1--we did not know "A -
to be a Jealous supporter of the admnistra-
ton, and in 10 way afflicted with revolution
airy spirit, we should think his criticisms un-
necessarily severe, but at the present juncture
when our army seems TO be doing little else
than falling back one day to base line
represented the day before to be perfect
ly deiensible, and defending Washington in
stead carrying the war into Africa, we do
not feel called upon to put too heavy weight
upon the safety valve of public expression. 1t
is time to enquire whittier we are drifting and
to ask how long the ebb tide is to set away
from the Union cause.
HoS. THos. NJ. HAYEs.-The Argus of yes
terday morning said that it had received a let
ter and communication from the above gentle
man, of Saco, by which it learned that the
Press statement that he had left the democrat
ic party was only an absolute falsehood, got
ten up for political effect upon the election. 1t
is sufficient for us to say that the Press did
not represent Mr.. Hayes as having left the
democratic party; it simply represented him
as making an issue with the resolves of the
democratic State Convention-as the Argus
did last year. There was no purpose to mis-
represent Mr.. H., for we spoke of his lecture
precisely as it was represented to us by several
OF his fellow-townsmen. If they so utterly
Inexperienced him, we think he must have
been unfortunate in his use of language.
