lrWe admire to see person think good
deal of himself; and no one can blame man
for praising his own wares when they stand
sadly in need of praise-when almost every
one else is decrying them. For such reasons
we commend the Advertiser for publishing
puffery of itself, and trying to extract COM
fort from sugar-pum thrown to it by cor
respondent, probably some friend in the Ar
gus Office. Yesterdays paper contains an ar
ticle telling wonderful story of Massachu-
sets conservative Republican" who admires
that paper, and who said, referring to its won
derful editorials Of late. that sit was altogeth-
er astonishing what stray CLEAN Of fire we
had got down here in the Advertiser--full of
spirit, good taste, and every way up to the
times" and who also said, "Let Portland sup
port it for its own reputation" And then the
writer says:
"And here let me say that, even if there
were nothing else involved, the good taste of
our city ought in some way to deliver us from
the vapd ebullitions of the journalistic pdrre
nu and most slovenly adventurer, who now
exhibits his ignorance in the columns of the
Press"
That is the style. Perhaps this is "gleam
of the fire" referred to above. "The good
taste of our city" has its own way of respond
ing, however; and while it is knocking off the
qures from the Advertisers pile of papers, it
is adding to the daily list of the Press at the
rate of more than fifty week!

aid, makes a statement in reference TO brief
remark found in the Portland Transcript of
Aug. 20, relating to Gen. Butler and Gen.
Phelps. The Transcript says, "Gen. Butler,
who quarreled with Gen. Phelps because he
wanted to arm the negroes, is now organizing
regiments of free blacks, in New Orleans."-
Mr.. c. says, seen. Butler aud Gen. Phelps
have never quarreled, much less upon the sub
ject of arning the negroes. When Gen.
Phelps left the Department of the Gulf, he re-
marked to several officers. who went on board
the steamer to take leave of him, that, as to
Gen. B., he had ever treated him like gen.
teman; that they differed on some points in
military matters, but that he believed the
Generals intentions were good and loyal, and
that he was the right man in the right place.
The real cause of difference between these
Generals was the refusal of Gen. P. to obey
the orders Of his superior officer, and hence
his resignation, which Gen. B. did not accept,
but which President Lincoln did, and there
the matter ended

DIPHTHERIA IN SALEM.
Within little over year there has been
about thirty deaths by this disease, and it is
still raging with nearly as fatal results as at
any one time, though not quite SO extensively
as last spring. In a town with less than four
hundred 1895 census of 1901 Inhabitants this
is fearful mortality. The number of deaths
given above is upon the authority of several
residents of the town.
Snow was first seen upon Mt. Saddleback
warm and pleasant this fall that apple, straw
berry and dandelon-blows, second crop,
were to be seen in October, and here and there
wild flowers in tile fields.
Mrs. Hannah Lovejoy, aged about 65, of
Salem, was precipitated from II height of about
ten feet upon the barn floor, by the ladder slip
ping, while attempting TO ascend to the hay
NOV, breaking the radius of the right arm,
day or two ago. Every one should have
care to see that ladders are well secured be-
fore attempting to ascend them.
Typhoid fever is prevailing in some parts of
the County, in a severe form. Where diph-
iberia has left any of its victims they are good
subjects for typhoids to prey upon. For year
and a half there has been more sickness in the
County than usual, and this fall tails but little
behind any three months of the time in the
amount and severity of the types Of diseases.

Gen. Dow and COnfiscation.
An officer in the 18th Regiment, writing

An officer in the 18th Regiment, writing
from Pensacola to the Bath Times, says:
The arrival of Gen. Neal Dow to take COM
mand of the troops in West Florida was hailed
with pleasure by nearly every officer and sol
dier in Pensacola. Although, from his rigid
adherence to the principles of Temperance he
has many enemies in this Department, there
are but few who do not look upon him with
confidence, and consider him an officer of a
bility While he has had command here, mat
tiers have been conducted in manner which
reflect great credit upon the ability and integri
ty of the General, and have won for him many
friends. Gen. Dow is an ardent admirer ofthe
"confiscation act" and anything which the
rebels possess that would be of advantage to
u.s. he is determined to appropriate. Immedi-
ately upon his arrival here, he set about the
work of confiscation, not only in the city, but
the neighbouring towns, appropriating every
available article.
The writer describes the modus operdndi of
confiscation by relating an incident. Col. Muir
ray with proper compliment of men, was or
dered to proceed to Bagdad, 80 miles from
Pensacola. His expedition embarked in steam
ers and anchored within three miles of Bag
dad at o'clock in the morning OF Oct. 18th.
Col Murray dispatched Lieuts Shorey, of
the Me. 10Th, and Stuart, of the DIST n. Y.
with forty men, to proceed quietly, in small
row-boats, TO take possession of the town. and
place guard upon all the roads leading from
the place, in order to prevent the escape Of
any of the inhabitants. The party arrived
just before daylight and when the inhabitants
arose they found themselves snugly Gagged,
with Yankee soldiers pacing about in their
front yerds, protecting their property. Soon
after daylight the two steamers arrived, and
the town of Bagdad was "token," without
firing gun. One house, the proprietor of
which was a prisoner at Fort Pickens, was
found elegantly furnished with all the SPLEEN
dor which wealth could afford, and we left the
house entirely vacant. Among other valu-
ables taken at this house, was a safe contain
ing some $4,000 in gold! The furniture taken
alone at Bagdad and Arcadia, could not be
purchased for $4,000, and the cattle, wagons,
barouches. fire engines, &c, together with
$4,000 in gold, must swell the result of the
days reconnaissance TO something like $4,000
in round figures!

SY- Why don't those conservative" gen.
temen who have so much concern for the eff
feet OF the proclamation upon the 'border
States" explain how it happens that IN the
'border States radical emancipation" seems
to be popular. Missouri has spoken as well as
New York, and even Frank Blair is defeated
by an emancipationist, blair, though Repub-
lican, opposed emancipation.) Another of
kindred views is elected near by him, while in
the Springfield dstrict-hard down towards
the line of Arkansas radical emancipa-
zionist" is reported elected to Congress. In
deed, it looks as though the proclamation is
triumphantly sustained in that border State"
This is significant fact, and we ask our read
ers to note it.

Brilliant Victory over stuart's Cavalry

2
Rectortown, Va, Nov. 9th, 10 Z. NJ.
As the particulars OF the fight yesterday at
BARRIERS become known, the more brilliant the
victory is found to have been.
The battle was fought by cavalry alone, and
between the best disciplined troops either ar
my can produce. The rebels were under the
command of Gen. Stuart, and the Federals
under command of Gen. Pleasanton.
The final result shows that the rebel. left
thirty-six dead on the field, and their wounded
must have been numerous. Our loss was five
killed and ten wounded.
Gen. Pleasanton to-day reports that Stone
wall Jackson occupies Chester Gap with his
command.
