coal has nearly doubled 'iln' price aud is still
tending upward. The stock in the yards
in that city at this time, is said not to ex-

of any being received for some time. The

one million bushels mined at Pittsburg,

Over in Ohio substitutes are being offer
ed and accepted at all manner of prices
Some are obtained at cheap rate--ffty or
sixty dollars, while some receive three and
four hundred dollars. There can be NO
regular market for the article, inasmuch as
it is not known what demand there may be
for them. The bounty paid generally de-
pends upon the desire or ability of the in
dividual who wishes to engage one. Il,
Some men have engaged substitutes by
means ofn mutual insurance operation. A
regular Office for insuring against draft,
would probably be a cause for sending any
one who opens it to prison, under the act
Furnishing the encouragement of enlist
ments! Tie general idea smong .he bour-
gcOis in France is, that it is the greatest
misfortune to be unable to furnish sub
stitute when drafted. On the other hand
many Ofsthe gentry, aud even nobility en-
ter the ranks for the sake of adventure.
We have hitherto regarded our volunteer
service somewhat in the. latter light, and
We hope to4continue go to do. On this
ground ii would be better for the generality
to serve, the allotted time themseIves,
when no pressing reasons of family or bu-
siness bind them to their homes.

A Voice from the Grave.

The last letter ever written by the late Sem
ator Douglas, was 10 clear his good name from
the aspefsions Of those who had claimed to be
his political friends. 1t was while confined to
that bed of death from which he was removed
only to his final resting place. Too weak to
sit up, he employed friend to hold the pen,
while he dictated letter to the Chairman of
the Democratic State Committee Of Illinois,
from which the following are extracts. We
commend them to those who claim to have
been the friends of Douglas, and yet who hest
tate in their support of the loyal cause, or ten
der their country only divided heart-ofering
and a cold devotion:
"The Slavery question is mere excuse;
the election of Lincoln mere pretext. The
present secession movement is the result of an
enormous conspiracy; If war must
come--if the bayonet must be used to MAIN
tain the constitution, can say before God, my
conscience is clear. l have struggled long for
peaceful solution of the difficulty. l have
not only rendered those states what was theirs
of right, but have gone to the very extreme
of magnanimity. The Government
must be maintained, its enemies must be orer-
hrotcn, aud the MORE sTUPENDoUs THE
PREPARATIONS THE LESS THE BLooDsHED
AND THE SHORTER THE STRUGGLE"

Correspondence of the Press.
Military Election.
BRowNFIELD. Ju

BRowNFIELD, July IS, 1862.
To the Editors Of the Portland Daily Press !:
Yesterday, such of the ununiformed militia
of Brownfield as had not skedaddled, met their
"brothers in arms" from Porter and Hiram. at
Hiram Bridge, for the purpose of selecting Off
GERS for their respective companies. The cleo
ton was conducted in good order, and the pre-
siding officer, A. II. Walker, ESQ.,, of Lowell,
did himself much credit by disposing of
the business in his usual prompt and energetic
manner. The election passed off in quiet
and good natured manner A laughable affair
happened at the confectionery stand" by the
explosion or bursting of cask of fermented
liquor, which created a big laugh from the
more distant lockers, and hasty stampede
by the nearer and naturally thirsty. Forum
ately no material damage was done, except
small drain from the pocket of the liquor own
er, and the small sprinkling received by the
crowd near who were waiting for smack
Had all the vile stuff found its way into the
Saco, it would have been quite as well for all
present.
The officers elected for the BrownHeld Co..
were James w. johnson, Captain VIM. E.
Swan, Orlando A. Blake, Jacob Z. Hurd, and
Clarke Wakefield, Lieutenants. in the order
above named. They are all first rate fell
lows good men and true, and what is still
better, they are all true temperance boys.
There may be some question about the Capt.
receiving his commission, from the fact of his
having quite recently been discharged from
the U. 5. army for disability, after serving six
months.
Our town is still behind most others in Of
fering bounty TO volunteers, but behind but
few in furnishing soldiers for the service, as
we now have over 40 men in the army.
Yours, Z.

Premonitory symptoms.

A widespread impression prevails that new
and unusual vigor is to be infused into the ar
my movements, and that defensive operations
are to give place to offensive, of the most stu
pendous and crushing character. Gen. Pope
in Virginia viii infuse new life into the cam
paign. He has not only the courage and the
dash, but he has the necessary prudence, and
the rebels will find him plying them with heavy
blows when and where they least expect it.
The achievement of Gen. Curtis in Arkan-
sas, is one of the most brilliant of the whole
war. When nearly surrounded by hostile
forces larger than his own, with supplies scarce
and of inferior quality, and with guerilla bands
led by reckless and unprincipled men preying
upon his rear and tanks, it was feared that his
little army should be annihilated before aid
could reach him, but he has nobly cut his way
out, and in the mean time has inflicted severe
punishment upon the rebels. The career of
the brigand Morgan, in Kentucky and Tennes-
see, Is awakening spirit in the Southwest that
will never slumber until all the fuel that can
feed rebellion in that quarter, has been reduced
to impalpable nothngness.

Undisguised Rebel sympathy.

Some people are so excessively polite that
they doubt the existence of any rebel sympa-
thy in New England, and pronounce the sug-
gestion that there is yet lingering any such
feeling, an abolition lie. But "murder will
OUT and so will treason. 1t has done so in
Connecticut In Hartford lives Thos III. Sey-
mour, who figured in Mexico, and was subse-
quently rewarded for partizan labors by the
appointment of Minister to Russia On his re-
turn he acted with the Breckenridge party.
and has been since run for Governor on the
democratic ticket in the "Nutmeg State" His
friends have insisted upon his loyalty, and on
ly a few days since paragraph got into the
papers setting forth that he was about to raise
and head regiment, and offer himself and it
to the Government to aid in putting down the
rebellion.
Recently large, patriotic and enthusiastic
war meeting was held in Hartford, and Sey-
mour's name was used in the list of vice presi-
dents. He was absent at the time. and on his
return he wrote letter to the Hartford Times
"a rebel-sympath.zing organ-dsclaiming all
participation in the meeting as well as sympa-
bhy III H. dtfu POI tfOi VI Tile ielttT WAS so
glazing in its ayowal of sympathy for the rebel
cause and so lacking in sympathy for the gov
ernment, that the Times omitted it in its city
edition.
The following extract is enough to show
how nearly allied is treason in Connecticut.
to the same fell spirit farther down east:
must I've permitted to add, that CONSIDERING
the sentiments which i have never hesitated
to express concerning the prosecution of the
war, cannot help but regard 1t as a somewhat
singular circumstance that nv name should
have been made to appear before the public as
one OF the aiders and abettors of a war meet
ing.
If 1t Is necessary to be more explicit, | beg
leave to state that, knowing what the meeting
would be beforehand, could not have been in
duced to attend it, or take part in its doings
and that, having glanced at the speeches and
the proceedings generally of that meeting, /
particularly desire to clear myself from any
participation, directly or indirectly, in what
took place there. The meeting if l have not
misunderstood its general bearing, is one which
ignores peaceful remedies ofany sortas means
of restoring the Union, and calls loudly for
men and means to aid in the subjugation and
consequent degradation and overthrow of the
South. j follow, gentlemen, in no such cru
SADIE, neither will contribute in any way TO
the accomplishment of such bloody purposes.
The monstrous faliacy OF the present day, that
the Union can be re-established by DESTROYING
any part of the South, is one which will burst
with the shells that are thrown into its de-
fenseless cities, and leave the condition of this
country, after its treasures are exhausted and
its brave men on both sides consigned to hos
pitfalls and graves, a spectacle for reproach or
commiseration OF the civilized world.

Immediately bounced upon by some officer
high in rank and thereafter lodged, fed and en-
tertained, for which he repays his patron in
adulation. Does battle ensue, his special and
already designated heroes do wonders and lar
in the rear he catches false accounts, and trans
mits to eager readers at home nine parts error
and one part truth. 1t would be injustice TO
apply such censure to all but in most cases il
is mournfully true. Where are the chronicles
of the deeds of our brave rank and file, whose
prowess and not the ability with which they
have been managed has alone saved our armies
from rdicule?
The Philadelphia papers with amusing per-
sistency shed glory over all Pennsylvanians :

has been shown in every engagement of the

ENIIsTING IN OTHER STATEs.-We men
tened day or two since that it was said that
some of our young men were going into other
States to enlist, and remarked that other States
offered no aid to the families of our citizens
who enlist in their ranks. There is another
view of the case. 1t is well known that there
are now a large number of Maine men in the
regiments of other New England States, and
we are informed that GovA-Washburn is receiv-
ing every day from these men, pressing impor-
tunities for his assistance to obtain for them,
transfers to regiments from their own State.
They have become convinced that they made
a mistake. Our young men who are thinking
OF going to other States will do well TO profit
by their experience.
