To the Editors of the Portland Press

Since you have several times kindly inserted
notices in your paper for the Alumnae of the
Girls High School, will you, as a matter of
justice, insert the following:
We noticed in your issue of this morn
ing the following 1--WE understand that the
former and present members of the High
School for Girls have presented to Mr.. Wool
son, their late teacher, testimonial OF their
regard, in the shape Of a splendid silver fruit
dish" The above statement misrepresents
the matter: yet it is not from any personal
feeling, but for the sake of truth and the
moral influence which such statement may
carry with it, at this time, that we wish to
correct it. The Alumnae did not and could
not act as body in the matter. The testi-
mony of regard came from the friends of Mr..
Woolson, including only a portion of the
Alumnae. The consciences of many of them
forbade their taking any part favoring such a
measure. And that this should be so under
stood is the wish of
MANY OF THE ALuMNAE.

THE STEAMTUG "TIeER."-Capt Willard
has rebuilt the steamtug Tiger, which. it will
be remembered, was nearly destroyed by fire
. few months since. She has been enlarged
and improved, both in strength and speed,
and is now as good as new. Capt. Willard
made trial trip yes terday sons twelve miles
down the bay, and was highly pleased with
the satisfactory manner in which the boat per-
formed under the improvements introduced
The tug made twelve miles in one and a half
hours under ffty-iive pounds Of steam, against
a strong wind and head tide, consuming only
$50 pounds coal. Mr.. Brown, the engineer,
thoroughly understands his business, and is
just the man to ensure the patronage of the
public for the enterprising owners, who now
have two powerful tugs well appointed for
towing during the present season.

The Express Washington correspondent

mond by the line of Aqua Creek and Freder-

Another dispatch says the rebels evacuated

Jackson's main force was at Stevensons Sta

is variously stated at 10000 to 10000, but not
likely to exceed 10000. Jackson never left
the Valley, but moved down the west side of
the Blue Ridge. while our army advanced
along the east side, skirnishing at the Gaps
with our advance, but never proffering serious
battle. When it became known that our army
had no intention to enter the Valley, Jackson
retraced his steps. This advance extends
two miles from Hancock. His cavalry occu-
pied Martinsburg, and Jacksons headquarters
are at Bunker Hill

DIsGRAcErUL AFFAIR.-Copture Of 1000

Advertiser makes the subjoned statement:
The reported capture of part of the Sec

the facts of the case, rs related by one Of the
regiment. About 200 members of the regi-

L, G and X, and part of Company |. the whole
under command of Acting Major Garrett
were detailed to escort the convalescents,
stragglers and deserters, who had been col

orders Major G. proceeded, and although
warned by battery Of artillery, which he met,
of the proximity of the rebels, deliberately
marched still further, aud the whole party.

Such disgraceful conduct on the part of
Major Garrett should cause his instant expul-
sion from the army, if no severer punishment
can be inflicted.

The ATTEMPTS TO EXCITE DIsAFFECTIoN
in the army by alleging its existence, are ex-
citing the attention of the authorities. The
Washington correspondent of the New York
Times says:
The statements sent from this city lately to
New York journal, and published, in regard
TO disatiection in the Army of the Potomac,
have been regarded as so incendary as to
cause serious danger of the arrest of the par
ties responsible for their appearance They
impeach alike the loyalty of the army and the
characters of the Generals to whom their au-
thors profess to he friendly.

MATT Frs ABOUT TOWN.

ARREST OF A THIEF.-Last week young
fellow, calling his name Levi S. Owens, pre-
tending to be book pedlar, and said to be
from New York, took lodgings at the board
ing-house of Mrs. Charles, No. So Federal
street. Wednesday morning he robbed the
rooms of some of the other boarders OF two
complete suits Of clothes and valuable silver
watch, and started off on the freight train on
the Maine Central Railroad. Deputy Mar
shals Hawkes. and Head started in pursuit of
him, and the former got ON his track at Wat
erville, where Gvcns had hired team to go
TO Freedom. Hawkes. went to that town and
found Givens in company with another young
fellow, who it is said has been arrested two or
three times for larceny. Owens was arrested,
and all his plumber was found in his posses
sion. He was brought to this city yesterday,
and locked up for examination. Deputy Mar
shall Head, who had taken another route from
that taken by Hawkes., had also got on the
track Of the thief, and arrived at Freedom a

MIRTH AND MELoDy.-Ossian f. Dodge,

nounces one of his fresh and original soirees
musicale at Lancaster Hall, Portland, Monday
evening, Nov. oath, when the public may ex-
pcct jolly jam, for Dodge seldom sings in
Portland or in fact anywhere else that he does
not turn away crowd. Mr.. Dodge will be
assisted by Mr.. Hayward, the capital ballad
singer, who accompanied him on his tour last
season, and whose modest department and
splendid singing was the theme of general
commentator wherever he sang. He pos
sesses voice of unusual purity and sweet
ness, and in ballads OF pathetic character
he is probably without rival in the world
The entertainments given by Mr.. Dodge are
of peculiar and pleasing character, and have
always been held in high regard by the best
classes in society, of whichsh his audiences are
usually largely composed.

BUBGLARIEs.-On Sunday night the house
of Mr.. A. Dunyon, Henry street, was entered
by burglars, and silver spoons, forks, napkin
rings, &C., to the value of $50 were stolen.
The rogues broke plated fork to see of what
composition it was.
The same night the Westinghouse of Free
man Bradford, Esq, was entered, and silver
articles of the value of $40 were stolen. Here
the scamps broke plated ladlc to ascertain
whether It was silver.
Both If these houses were entered, as is
supposed, by the use of nippers in turning the
keys Of the locks in the basement doors, which
were left In the locks inside The doors were
found unlocked in the morning. This should
be caution to our citizens not only not to
leave the keys in the doors, but also to put
other fastenings upon them which would cause
more noise in breaking, and would thus alarm
some Of the members of the family.

New YORK, Nov II.
A special dispatch states that reclamations
have been made on England for damages suf-
fered by our commerce from the rebel cruiser
Alabama, which sailed under British papers

will stop the iron clad fleet. now supposed to
be building for rebels, from sailing out of ports
into which our armed vessels are not admitted,
as she must see to do otherwise would be to
commit a serious breach of the neutrality she
so studiously processes. According to nfor-
nation received here no one of these rebel iron
clads will be ready for three months to come.

from McClellan's headquarters, and often saw
him. He is sure that he is drinking hard; he
was once an inveterate topper. / hear, but was
reclaimed by his wife. His habit is to talk out
loudly to the group which assemblies around

into all this trouble and are keeping us in. If
the matter were left to Gen. Lee and myself,
we could settle il in half an hour"

fights, during which they took number of
prisoners and captured twenty slaves. Sever
al extensive salt works in Georgia were de-
stroyed. The rebels were badly beaten, and
in retreating destroyed an immense quantity
of property.
The New York Herald says that at New
Orleans Gen. Butler has put into the field four
negro regiments. Should you visit that city
and desire to make an excursion to Algiers,
which is directly opposite to the city of New

your ear is from the mouth of a negro soldier

tersign," &c. These four regiments are about
being formed into one brigade.
