DEATH OF A MAINE SoLDIER-A letter
from an officer of the U. S. Steamer Kearsage
dated Algesiras Roads, says that on the 18th
Of July, Edward II. Tibbetts, of Maine, aged
20 years, while bathing, was attacked by
ground shark, and, although the poor fellow
fought the monster bravely, before the boat
could reach the spot, the shark secured his
prize by grasping him by the left side, crushing
in his ribs, and bearing him to the bottom. 1t
was a horrid sight-a hundred and fifty of
Tibbett's shipmates looking at him, and with
in ten yards, but unable to render him any as
sistance.
THE RIGHT KIND OF PATRIoTIsM.-There
was MOTHER OH the camp-ground Wednesday
at Camp King, who visited there for the pur-
pose of seeing her "baby," as she called him,
before he left for the war. He is a stalwart
boy, to be sure, measuring about six feet, but
yet he was the youngest son of fond mother.
Her husband and four sons-al she has-are
in the Seventeenth, and she remarked that she
wished she had more sons to give to the serv-
ice of her country. Noble mother! Such
mothers will soon cause rebellion to tremble
and fall. $50 mote it be-" as our Bro. Case
would say.
sg-We notice, in reading the proceedings of
Bddeford Democratic Congressional Conven-
ton, another striking omission-the failure to
glorify Mcclellan, and to denouuce Secretary
Stanton. "Our friend" Kimball was there,
who SO valiantly threw himself, with resolu-
ton, into the breach at Bangor, and yet he was
mum. "Our friend" Sweat was there, who
couldn't avoid perpetrating resolution OF en-
dorsement at recent City Hall meeting, and
yet his lips were sealed. Why this silence p
Why so marked change of tactics? Is Nc
Clellan to be left to the tender mercies of
Stanton, because, at this moment, he fills less
of the nations eye than formerly?
sg-If the Argus will take off its glasses, it
may see that the Press has said nothing about
the Constitution being made to stand alone.
We said it was made to stand using the word
in the sense of continue. The cold worthless,
who framed the Constitution, committed il to
posterity for protection, and when traitors

be deferred from protecting it through any Sc
cession complaints that they may violate its
provisions. If a man finds his child overheard
he saves him if he can; and he don't stop to
consider whose rights he may trespass upon in
ripping plank from the first fence he comes
to, to aid him in the work. The child must
be sored; who owns the plank used in saving
him is a subordinate question. Traitors threat
en- the Constitution; 1t must be protected, and
they must be put down. Any means necessd-
ry to this end are right and justifiable.
EJEcrED.-A young man, named Charles
Henry Abbott, claiming to be Orderly Ser
| geant Of Company G., 10th Regiment, was
elected from the cars on the X. & p. Il. r., at
Yarmouth Junction yesterday. 1t seems that
the Sergeant and quite number of the men,
bers of Co. G, obtained furloughs and were
on their way home. Seated together in one of
the cars, they made considerable disturbance
| by singing low songs and otherwise, and paid
no attention to the request of Conductor
Hatch, that they should keep quiet At Var
mouth the sergeant became obstreperous, and
was told that unless he would consent to be
seated and not only behave himself but keep
his men quiet, he must leave the cars. He
called on Co. G., told them to remain seated
and do just as they had been doing, and would
like to just see If they would put him out
The other passengers were requested to step
into the other cars, when Mr.. Sergeant very
suddenly found himself on the platform. He
| called on Co. G to fall out: but they evident
lyprererred to go along, and the train moved
on. We were pleased to notice the bearing Of
our friends, Hatch and Mitchell-kind, yet de-
termined and firm. No road in the United
States can boast of better conductors. We
are sorry to say that sometimes men are found
who seem to think that a soldiers uniform
gives them full license to do as they please. If
the captain of Co. G has not appointed this
man as sergeant, he had better consider before
he does it.
