Three Contemporaneous Por-

The New York Independent in an article
attributable to Row Henry Ward Bcccher,
undertakes to forestal some future historian
in describing S2c'y Seward, President Lin
coin and General Mcclellan. The article will
be read with interest even by those who by
no means assent to the criticisms OF its brill
liant author:-
The same fatal influence at the centre par
alzynd the Cabinet. tied up the President,
and laid spell upon the army. What that
influence was will be the business of the fu-
ture to search out. Another chapter is to

A Stlbbisim Affair.

A Waldoboro' brig came here last week
from New York to load With boxes for the
West Indies. On Saturday three of the
crew left the vessel with the intention of
taking the stage for Bangor. bat before tie
stage left they were arrested and lodged in
Jail, on the charge of DESERVING the vessel,
after having shipped for the round voyage,
On Monday an examination was had before
Justice Somerhy. when the men were dis
charged through some informality Of the
warrant. The men, then engaged Mcssrs
Hale, Greedy & Co, to take them to Bangor,
but before they were ready to start, one
was arrested again by Constable Geo W
Newbcgin, while the magistrate was making
out new warrant. The sailor asked Nv
what authority he was arrested, and went
with the Constable into tho counting room
OF Messrs Hale & Co., as the bystandcrs
supposed, for the purpose of having the ar
rest explained TO him but he was then given in
charge of Captain Francis Geyer, Of the
brig, without any explanation. The Cap
tain was then asked, by what authority
was the arrest, when he cliuched the sailor,
took him down aud held him, using him
very roughly, holding him by the throat
The sailor cried out murder, and the people
gathered about the premises, much excited.
In the meantime, the officer returned, he
having been in pursuit of the two comrades
Of the arrested man. II, got mixed up
again in the matter and then ensued strife
for the mastery. The sailor drew his knife
from his belt and cut the captain in the leg,
making wouul three or four inches long
and hitting him in Other pieces He then
gave up his knife to Mr. Warehouse, and
to be taken t. .uii.
From the reports, somewhat contradictory,
it appears that the sailor SHIPPED for Tie
trip to Ellsworth, but in some way his name
was on the PAPER, for the voyage, signed by
some body else. The captain had the crew
shipped in the ordinary way, aud supposed
he was for the fall voyage.
