LEES ARMY IN FULL RETREAT,
New York, Oct. 6.

NEW YORK, Oct. 8.
Col. Hamilton, of Texas, is urged for Militia
ry Governor of Texas, with Cassus NJ. Clay
as commander, the two to go together with a
division of soldiers and $4,000 armed citizens.
The expedition is projected to cooperate with
Eli Thayer's to Florida. Five thousand men
have already offered themselves to Thayer and
wealthy ship owner Of New York proffers
three first class steamers for the enterprise
The British steamer Despatch was libelled
some time ago in civil suit for $4,000, and
placed in the custody Of deputy U. s. Mar
shals Roebuck and Witherell and Marshal
Murray. In consequence of yellow fever
breaking out among the crew. the officers
were obliged to leave the vessel, and by order
of the Marshal they left her under charge of a
revenue cutter, the commander of which was
not to let her escape.
On Friday night Capt. Buck, of the Des-
patch, went on board the cutter and told her
commander that he was going to sea, and that
they might fire at him and be damned, and he
would have to sink him and twenty-six souls
besides before he would stop. On Saturday
morning he got up steam and proceeded down
the bay. The enter fired three or four shots
at her which she did not heed, when the fort
was signalled. Two shots were fired at her
bow from Fort Lafayette, the second almost
grazing her. The Despatch then hove to I'M
der the guns of the fort, and yesterday was
towed back to quarantine and anchored under
the revenue cutter Crawford.
The Washington correspondent of the World
says i is confidently reported here to-day that
Gen. Lees army is in full retreat.
The Times correspondence says it is report
ed that the new nine months regiments now
being raised in Massachusetts are to be sent to
North Carolina, where there are other regi-
ments from the old Bay State.

Letter from the State Capital.

AUGUSTA, Oct. 9, 1862.
EDITORS Press mentioning in my last
the appointment OF Mr.. Hathaway as State
Agent at Washington. to look after the wants
and interests of the Maine soldiers, should
have added that Mr.. Hathaway periodically
offers his services without compensation. For
some time there has been need of such an
agent, and the appointment Of Mr.. Hathaway
is an excellent one. Our soldiers, whether
sick or in any way necessitous, will find in
him a jealous and efficient friend.
Col. Wildes, of the 18th Regiment, has been
restored to his command; consequently, pro-
motions made on the ground Of the Coloners
resignation are revoked.
One hundred and fifty recruits leave to-day
for our regiments in Virginia and Maryland,
and for the sth Regiment at Port Royal, and
the 9th at Fernandina.
The cases of measles in Camp Haleck are
decreasing.
Four companies from Camp Pope at Bangor
arrived here to-day to I'LL up the 10Th Regi-
ment at Camp Reyes. They viii be mustered

The Proclamation in the Army.

We have not yet heard Of single rcsigna-
ton in the army or navy on account of the
proclamation, though on its appearance it was
confidently predicted by some that it would
cost us many of our most valuable officers.
Nor have we heard that the proclamation has
caused any visible discomfort or dissatisfaction
among the soldiers, though we were told that
large number Of the rank and file would
throw down their muskets as soon as they
seamen have different ideas of military and
naval duty from those which were ascribed to
them by the prophets of evil, or else their pref
udices against interfering with slavery are not
so deep-seated as some men supposed We
are inclined to think that both suggestions
are true. The discipline in our service must
be strict enough to lead interiors to obey the
orders of their superiors. The political no.
tons which were prevalent among many of
the officers at the beginning of the war, like
those OLA great part of the nation, have I'M
dergone an essential change. In the regular
army probably a large majority of the officers
were at the outbreak of the rebellion Demo-
Gratis, and most of them Breckenridge Demo-
Gratis, prcjudiced against any interference with
slavery. An officer who cherished other SEN
tf0ents was socially tabooed by his associates
This was not surprising. But not few of
these very officers have greatly modified their
opinions during the last twelve months. The
number ofmen in the north who had any de-
sire or intention of striking blow at slavery
when the war began was very small. But the
experiences Of the past year have taught them,
and have taught with special emphasis those
who have been in the field, that slavery is a
great source of strength to the rebels, and that
lift stands in the way of the maintenance of
the Union and the government, it is entitled
to no favor, but must be removed like any
other obstacle. Hence several of our generals
who are most earnestly advocating the liberia
ton and the employment of the negroes, are
men who were prominent Democrats when
the rebellion broke out. Looking at the mat
ter from military point of view, they have
come to the conclusion that If we can cripple
the rebellion by striking at sIavery,it behooves
us to strike. 1t is evident that these senti-
ments widely prevail in the army and the navy.
The naval officers have indeed constantly re-
ceived blacks on board the ships, and employ
ed them. The soldiers, weary of digging
trenches in miasmatic swamps, welcome the
help OF the acclimated negro. And the gal
liant fellows in the army and the navy are not
SO anxious to prolong the war that they are
unwilling to see the 'corner stone" of the
Southern Confederacy shaken and removed,
that the edifice which rebellious hands have
been rearing upon it may totter and fall, and
overwhelm its builders in its ruins.

The Bangor Times, a loyal Independent pa
per, under the head of preaching Treason in
Name" says:
We had supposed that the Saco Democrat
alone enjoyed the "bad eminence" of preaching
treason against the Government, but we regret
to find we were mistaken. The old Portland
Advertiser, which has until recently been the
leading Republican organ in this State, and
whose nominal editor openly declared for
emancipation, not four months SINCE came out
the other day with philosophical and scrip
tural justification Of slavery; but not content
with that, on the Wednesday following the
Presidents Emancipation Proclamation il ut
tered the most bold, unblushing denunciations
Of the President and the Government which
have been printed North OF Mason and Dixon's
line since the rebellion commenced. That we
may do no injustice, we quote from long arti-
Giles some of the most outrageous declarations,
as follows:
After giving extracts from the Advertiser to
back up the above, the Times adds:
We commend the above assurances to the
speedy attention of the provost marshal; for
If such rebellous outpourings are to go I'M
noticed, then the whole business of suppress
ing journals for disloyal utterances is sheer
and arrant humbug, which should be imme-
diately done away with:
The Ellsworth American, a Republican pa
per, says:
Hon. Francis o. ]. Smith, who owns the
Portland Advertiser, and perhaps the editor
too, has written some shameful and treasona-
BILE articles as editorials for that old and here
toiore highly respectable paper. The Gov
eminent should send him to live on hard
bread and water in some Fort, or else, what
would be better, make him fight JEFF Davis's
soldiers. How many republican or Union
man can continue to take the Advertiser is
past our comprehension. Let all true Union
men avoid it.

1.-THE Union as il was..

Hon. A. j. Hamilton, recently member of
Congress from Texas, and thoroughly Union
man, recently escaped from that hot-bed of
fall, and in Brooklyn, a few evenings since, he
made a speech, and at the risk of being de-
nounced for disloyalty to the modern demo-
caatic creed, we give the following extract:
And now, fellow citizens the question is, is
1t proper, is it practicable, to restore things US
they were? 1t is fashionable term here to
say, 1--WE are for the Constitution as il is, and
for the Union as it was" The Constitution as
it is. Yes. The Union as it was! No. This
was said with much feeling and earnestness,
and drew down tumutuous applause) in
woke the aid OF the loyal people in restoring
the Government of the United States. But,
fellow citizens, if you had the power, and were
to tender to me tonight the restoration of the
Union as it existed In the State of Texas In
1861, would not thank you for the boon. II,
because cannot measure my own conscience
or Judgment with those OF my neighbor, or of
majority of my neighbors, am to be looked
upon with GOODNESS, suspicion and aversion !;
II am to be insulted and spit upon by the
children OF my neighbors, whom l may have
handled on my knees, thinking that they
would, at least, remember me with kindness as
their fathers neighbor and friend; ii am to
be looked upon as something loathsome, be-
cause | cannot believe that slavery is the be-
ginning and end of all legitimate government;
il, above all, cannot say what believe, that
there are excesses and abuses in respect to
that institution which ought to be looked TO !;
II, in short, because might say what WASH
ington said, believing it, what Jefferson wrote
and what all the good and great men OF that
day believed, l an to be stignatized as a trail
tor, and made TO suffer a traitors doom; If
that is to be the result of the "Union as 1t was,
/ want no such Union.

rWhile Gov. Andrew has been, and is
now, devoting all his energies to meet the calls
of the Government, and to ameiorate the con-
diton of the sick and wounded soldiers of his
State, the political hyenas of the Courier and
Post school are constantly bounding him be-
cause he don't believe in negro slavery, and
has the manliness to say so. To kill off aboli-
tionsts is a more grateful work for them than
to put down rebellion But they will not
succeed. Andrew will live to chant TIE Deuns
over their political sepulchres, which, beauti-
full as they may be made without, will be filed
with dead mems bones, and all uncleaness.

yer in the Southern States. we suppose the
very consistent gentleman who edits the Ad-
veatiser. will back down from his recently
enunciated doctrine. that the Presidents proc
lamation was intended simply to suspend the
operation of the Institution, and not TO abolish
IT,: which he so ingeniously illustrated by sup
posing the destruction of a toll-bridge without
affecting the validity of the charter under
which it was erected.
The following sentence exhibits the future
status of the Advertiser, and shows of what
party or elements it proposes to be the organ !:

with any wing of the republican marty we
think il has got to occunv different ground
from that which it has now taken. An organ
without an organization will be more anomal

The inquiry being frequently made whether
the Commission wishes to receive apples for
the use OF the wounded, it should Immediately
be published, as widely as possible, that dried
apples cannot be sent to lis DEPICTS in too large
quantities. Town and village Relief Societies
are requested to make arrangements for par
ing, cutting, and drying by their members, and
such volunteer assistance as they can enlist,
and to notify farmers that they will receive
such good fruit as they may be disposed to Of
fer and are unable themselves to properly pre-
pare. Dried apples may be sent in barrels or
