ORIGIN AL AND SELECTED ID

sB- 1t will be seen by "Skirmisher's' letter
that the new Judges have been confirmed.
sY- DR.. George A. Wheeler, son of Rev.
DIR. Wheeler of Topsham, has been appointed
Assistant Surgeon in the regular army.
g- Col. G. W. Kicker of Augusta, will
visit Paris on Monday next, to purchase cav
airy horses.
lg- The body of Mr.. j. T. Waterhouse
left Washington yesterday afternoon, and, it is
expected, will arrive here by the steamer from
Boston on Sunday.
s5- We learn that Assistant Adjutant Cen
eral Whttlesey is now in Philadelphia recruit
ing his health, where his family will shortly
join him.
gB-I 1t seems our original notice of the
death of Capt. Haskell was correct, and though
we cheerfully made a correction at the request
of some of his friends we feared greatly that
they were deceived, as it seems they were-
Death has seldom taken a nobler victim than
it found in Capt. III. He was intelligent, edu-
Gated, gentlemanly, and in all respects one of
Gods noblest works-an honest man.
gB- The remarks of the Advertiser and
Argus yesterday, in relation to the City Loan,
call Tor no reply. They make no new points.
The Argus makes additional filings about the
High School-an institution whose doors swing
open alike to the sons of the poorest labo:er
and the millionaire - and the Advertiser
spreads on the water question, wants to know
t,a ;, IN hi, n
to the city from Sebago Lake. OF course we
are, at the proper time and in a safe way, but
not through pipes over which our interrogator
holds supreme control.
SE We learn from private source that
Gen. o. o. Howard is at Augusta with his
family, who are now residing in that city,
He is very slim as to health, but the slow fever
by which he was attacked at Harper's Ferry,
has left him, and he is>expecting to return
to his command at the end of his leave,
which is only twenty days. His aid, Charles
III. Howard, has also returned to his home in
Leeds with impaired health, having never
fully recovered from his wounds received in
the battle of Fair Oaks, though he was with
Gen. Howard in the very thickest of nearly
all the Maryland battles, including that of An
tetam.
CARswELL-It has been our privilege sew
eral times TO listen to the charming eloquence
of this young Canadian. lie is one of Ma
ture's own orators; perfectly at home on the
rostum and in the pulpit, as ''deep toned and
full of music as unstudied and natural, with
arguments as conclusive, and illustrations as
pithy in country school-house as in fremont
Temple. He makes no violent denunciatons
against the Jehovah-cursed runiseler; simply
cuts the garment, and leaves it for any guilty
conscience" to appropriate and fit. He has a
style peculiarly his own, is small in person,
easy in manner, apt in mimicry, and full ol
"phughn," and with a few years experience,
he will, in our humble opinion, cast many OF
our public speakers as far behind him, as the
great express Train is now behind the great
Summer Carswel lectures in New City Hall
next Tuesday evening.

Letter from the State Capital.

Prompt Response OF Maine - quality OF
Maine Troops-Votes for Congressmen-
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
AUGUSTA, Oct "a, 1862.
EDITORS PRESS: All the nine thousand six
hundred men for nine months service, called
for from this State, August 4, were raised, and
in camp September 18th, and could have pro-
ceeded to the seat of war by the Goth of that
month, but for delay on the part of Govern
ment officials.
At that time there were more men in camp
than when the first of those regiments left the
State, for the reason that large numbers re-
eight full regiments have been formed, the last
of which will leave next Wednesday.
OF these troops, be it remembered, not a
company has been drafted.
Ii any other State has been more prompt
and expeditions in responding TO the call OF
the general Government, than this State has
been, Maine is ready 10 make her best bow to
her. The troops furnished by Maine are con-
sidered by all the officers of the army to be OF
the very best material. Speaking OF ore OF
our last three years regiments which he hap
pened to see, a Division General of experience
has lately pronounced it the finest body OF
men he ''ever laid eyes on"
The 2Sth regiment goes Saturday afternoon,
the 2lst on Monday afternoon, and the oath
on Wednesday afternoon next

Letter from Boston.

Preface - Boston - Its Characteristics -
Hunkerism - Politics - Election Items -
No Party" Naval Matters - Amuse-
ments.
BosToN, Oct. %, 1852
EDITORS PRESS: The debut of new star,
public orator, or Hteratur is always attended
with considerable predatory heraldry of the
most eulogistic and favorable character. We
shall not ask for nor wish any such putting,
rather preferring that ''our works shall praise
us or condemn" In fact, in making acquaint-
ance with the good people of Portland and the
Dirig' State generally, onr aim will be to give
them occasionally a resume of the doings, say
ings, rumors and sensations of the pretended
hub of New England" So much for our in
production!
Boston is peculiar locality, so much so, in
fact, that it may properly be termed ian insti-
tuition" Its people are well-to-do, intelligent,
refined, classic and polite. Anything more
than this it will be hard to say. They lack
the genial heart of even your beautiful Port
land or wide-awake New York. The Mutual
Admiration Society still controls public opiniou
vitude here and then emigrate; the only rem
edy for emigration being to marry some rich
mans daughter, which can only be done by be-
coming secondary to said Croesus. Here we
come to the corner stone of Boston society
selfish money getting and money keeping.
Patriotism seems to be sadly at discount
We venture the assertion that there is more
treason in Boston than in any other city in New
England caused by the aristocracy, who hate
the progress of the plebian classes, and feel
sore, because Sir Oracle is not obeyed, and
his beck is unheeded.
The City Government at last has voted $500
bounty, but not until the draft was applied.
1t "drew' the Hunkerism of the Athenan city
out of its meanness. Doctor Andrew under
stood the disease, and administered the right
application in the right time!
The political waters here are quite agitated.
Clearing away the rubbish of prejudice and
passion, we calmly consider that the Peoples
Party, so-called, has failed to create that in
terest and strength it anticipated. Why?
Because of its aiiiliation with the Hunkerism
of Massachusetts. At their recent Fanueil
Hall Convention, Linus Child presided. He
expected the Collectorship of one of the Dis
tricts, but did not get it. Joel Parker has
been waiting for many years for the old shoes
of Burlingame. Appleton and Hooper, tRepre-
sentatives to Congress) and also for those of
Charles Sumner, and he is trying "a shorter

A cursory perusal of this volume convinces
us that it is one of the most readable books

genial humor, and will charmingy beguile the
weary hours. The Introductory chapter to
critics and the dear public is a gem. Hall l..
