sg-In another column will be found an adj
vertisement of Mr.. Bradsh, who, after an alb
sence OF twenty-five years, has returned TO his
native city and re-opened his old business.
Mr.. B. is a gentleman ofestablished reputation,
and we welcome all such to the society Of our
Portland people. In leaving Eastport, where
Mr.. Bradish has for many years carried on
business, the Sentinel of that town took the
following handsome notice of him:
With regret we learn that Mr.. Martin Brad
ish has disposed of his interest in the bakery
business here, and will Immediately take up
his residence in Portland. Mr.. Bradish has
been a resident of this town for the past twen-
ty years, and during that time has established
for himself the reputation of being an indus
trious, energetic, and honorable man. His
sympathy and influence have always beer
earnestly enlisted in behalf of good order und
good morals. We think he has no reason to
complain of the success which has attended
him in his business affairs. May prosperity
and happiness continue with him in the future
as they have SO pre-emnently in the past.

= The Argus refers with hands uplifted
in holy horror, 10 men belonging to the repub-
liean party who have manifested procliyites
for putting their hands too deeply into the pub
lie treasury. With the many thousands who
have left the old democratic party to join the
strongest side, it would be singular if there
were not some scaly fellows. The republican
party has suffered full enough from such ac-
cessions, and for this reason we sincerely
trust that the Argus gentlemen will adhere
firmly to their own party. The republicans
ask for no reinlorcements from justly suspect
ed persons.

Three rebel schooners, while attempting to
run the blockade into Wilmington, \. c., on
Wednesday last, were captured by the IT, 5.

One OF them was the Emma futile, another

A dispatch from Wilmington, n. c., says the
schooner Harkaway, with $40 bags of salt
from Nassau, arrived there on the 18th.
The Richmond Examiner says the Navy
Department has issued peremptory order for
mounting a formidable piece OF ordnance on
Drury's Bluff, where Fort Darling stands, the
novel construction of which has excited atten-
ton among military men for some time past.

Admiral Gregory on Saturday committed
to the custody OF United States Marshal Muir
ray, Job G. Rich, formerly of the L.. 5. Ma

to come North on parole. On Saturday Rich

Two Battles in Arkansas.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. I.
Advices from the Southwest say the enemy,
10000 strong, under Gems. Hindman and Mar
maduke, attempted to force Gen. Blunt's posi-
tion at Cane Hill, Arkansas. but were driven
back. This morning they drove Gen. Bunt's
pickets three miles, but on the arrival of REIN
iorcements were again repulsed. Gen. Bunt's
opinion is that the demonstration was made to
cover their retreat, as they were telling timber
all night, probably TO obstruct the roads and
prevent pursuit. Blunt held the enemy in
check four days. Gen. Herron's force will re-
in1orce him tomorrow

Cutter, and occupied in the chambers by Mrs.

were also destroyed. A young man named

The Herald says at late hour Saturday af-
ternoon, the soldiers at the Union Course en-
campment, consisting of the 4Tth 49h and
50th Massachusetts regiments, came to the
conclusion that they required a more plentiful
fare, and paid u visit TO the cook shop and 9TH
er places, aud helped themselves freely
Their tent accommodations had also been
somewhat badly attended TO; the extreme cold
OF Saturday night considerably added to their
sutferings, and yesterday morning a number of
the men broke camp and marched TO the city,

ance, but were forced finally TO succumb. Our
loss in killed and wounded was sixty, which
were left ON the field.
Morgan attacked Gen. Fry in the afternoon
at Gallatin, but was repulsed with heavy loss
Fry having been reinforced, is now pursuing

s- The Argus asks us to write an art-
Gle upon the 'respectability of thieving." The
party to which that paper belongs has done so
much thimble-rigging, that we do not wonder
at its desire to have the light-fnger science
made respectable. If great names give res
pectability we should think those Of Floyd &
Co. would be sufficient to immortalize the
leading trait of modern democratic politicians.

Part of the Army Probably Across the Rap
pahannock. Death of Soldiers from the
Cold
NEW YORK, Dec. s.
A morning paper says it can do no harm to
repeat the announcement made in Washing
ton paper on Saturday, and which has doubt
less already reached Richmond. that portion
of the army had probably crossed the Rappa-
hammock at Port Royal.
ARMY OF THE PoToMAc, Dec. 7.
A lady who came over the river yesterday,
under flag of truce, reports the condition of
the rebel army as destitute beyond description,
and that they cannot possibly retain their po-
sition during the winter. Quite one-third of
the army is without shoes, and hundreds are
almost wholly without clothing.
The rebel camp fires Immediately in front of
Falmouth have almost entirely disappeared,
and no troops can be seen behind many OF the
intrenchments.
a special dispatch from Washington states
that six of our pickets in the army OF the Po-
tomac were frozen to death on Saturday night
while at Camp Misery, Alexandria. Seven
more died from the effects of the cold.
An army letter of the 4th says that General
Franklins corps struck their tents that day,
and now occupy Belle Plain. This movement
is undoubtedly the commencement of active
operations.
