To the Friends of the Sick and Wounded
Soldiers.

There is hardly a family who cannot spare
pair of sheets, pillow cases or shirts, or who
cannot contribute towel or a napkin. Sup
plies must be obtained, and to gather them in
dividually requires time. VIII the ladies con-
nected with the various charitable associations
in and around Portland, therefore, gather and
send to the Ladies' Committee Room, New
City Hall, such articles as can be spared, no
matter what, if they will add to the comfort of
the sick. Or, should any communities need to
be "stirred up by way of remembrance" will
they send word to Mrs. Goddard, Elm House,
Portland and she will gladly visit any place
where words are needful to elicit sympathy.

HOW the Censorship Works,

The New York and Philadelphia papers an
nounced on Monday the advance from New
Madrid down the river, (which occurred on
Saturday,, and on Tuesday they gave details
Of the forces, both land and naval They also
announced the pending attack on Fort Pillow,
and described the situation. All OF which the
Western press was forbidden to do up to
Thursday; aud even then not until the news
had come by the roundabout way Of Washing
ton, day older than the mail accounts al
ready received from correspondents, but not
until then printed. That's how the censor
ship works. How it can be possible for d
paper published in Chicago, st. Louis or Gu
cinDati to give aid and comfort to tue enc

at place 500 or 500 miles distant, is more
than We can see; even admitting that they get
tie papers at the earliest moment. It is now
reported that Fort Pillow has surrendered.
The rebels evidently didn't wait to be inform
ed through the Northern press that an attack
had been made upon them; or perhaps theI
got hold Of stray copy Of the New York
Commercial Ad,ertiser Of five days ago, con
tainiDg the desired intelligence. The censor
ship works in mysterious way, but it doesn't
perform wonders The Philadelphia inquirer

that McClellan's artillery has thrown some
shells into his camp. It was very kind Of the

Finding the Bodies ofthe two Johns
TOMS on the Fittsburg Battle Field.

ton's on the Eittshurg Battle Field.
Correspondence OF the Cincinnati Gazette.1
Albert Sidney Johneton's body which was
not found till Monday evening. was first re-
eognizcd by Brigadier-General Nelson, who
had known him when the one was an henored
otlieer IN the old army and the other was q
lieutenant OF the navy. Prisoners had been
telling Of his death, and describing him as
dressed in q velvet suit, and when such q
corpse was found inquiries were naturally
made as to who knew Johnston. Gen. Nelson
was sent for. He at once declared it to be in-
deed the dead Commandment Chief, and had
tic body removed to his OWL tent Gen
Rousseau Was subsequently sent for, aud he
too recognized the features. Capt Chandler
OF the regular army did the same; and strange
y enough there was wagonm2stcr there who
had been one Of Johnston's teamsters in tue
famous Utah expedition, who likewise remeu1-
bered the appearance of the Chief he had fol-
lowed on that disastrous march to the Rocky
Mountains.
As party Of our officers we're riding over
tile field on Tuesday, they found person Of
evidently more than ordinary intelligence
among the wounded. He was dressed in plain
citizens clothes, but there seemed no reason
to doubt that be had been actively engaged in
the battle, and that in all probability lie was
an officer Of some rank. The officers we're
called up to see if he could be Identified
Singing out Gen. A. McD. McCook from the
party, the wounded man asked that he might
be permitted to see him alone The rest re-
tired, and conversation lasting for some lit
tie time, followed between the two. After
the interview General McCoolz explained that
the wounded man was George ". Johnston
'Provisional Governor Of Kentucky" whs
had set in motiun at Russellville the bogus
machinery By which Kentucky was annexed
to the Southern Confedcr1cy, and serving as
Aid, believe, on the General Staff. He had
made some personal requests. The ttGoyern-

OPINIONS OF TIE LONDON PRESS.
From the london Tinaa Anri11


What is the use of the " nine line-of-battIe
ships, four coryettes and fifteen sloops,''
forming our Mediterranean feet, if couple of
"cupola'' vessels could destroy them all one
after anothers Is it not obviously our duty
to look upon wooden ship as no ship at ali,
and to replace our Equadrons IS fast as posi-
Die by few lr0n-cad Vessels However, the
main question Of all has now been fuallY de-
clded for uE, and at the expense Of others. The
admiralty is already on the right track. Lord G,
Paget announced in his official statement that
We had at length ceased to build line-of-bat-
cased frigatcs. One step further will put US
in safety. Let our authorities, pending the
completion Of these formidable fabrics, ad-
dress themselves vigorously to plating and
armlng tile numerous vessels admitting of
such conversion. The Mcrrinac herself was
only converted ship, and we may get score
OF NerT1macs in very short time. We have
nothing TO do but to recognize the great fact
now before us, and remember that anF arInor
cased ship, however Indifferent specimen OF
the class, is more than G match for any timber
built squadron.
(From the London Daily News, Aprlt.1
The more We reflect upon the conditions OF
impressed with the fact that mobility is the
great element Of success. In this first lesson
We see how the Merrimac did inst what she
pleased with ships that, even if they had been
lron- -cascd, would nave cnly got into the very
same difficulties of position by their want Of
power mud their great draft of water. And
when the crucial experiment was tried between
the two ironsides, victory fell to the "uuecr-
looking machine - that sWan round its Yictlm
Ike duck, dealing fiery stabs into the yitals
Of her much bigger antagonist.
From the London Globe.l
Putting tile most favorable construction on
the reports OF the performances Of both ships,
We do not perceive how the form of citlef
would be suitable rs model for the ships Of
naval power which pretends to maintain na-
va supremacy. Neither the Confederate nor
the Federal ship has TINT essential requisite,
high velocity. Neither could keep the sea
effectively during gale like that encountered
BY the Warrior. On the other hand, both arc
superior TO our ship in steering. Each obeyed
the htlm with facility; but our ships Of mail
seem to be disobcdient.
Then tho rudder Of the American ships is
protected apparently, whereas the helm Of the
Warrior is as vulnerable as that of wooden
liner. We want model ahip as invuInerlb1e
and as easily handled as the Monitor, rs fast
as the Warrior, with power of sailing or
steamlng at pleasure, and capsule OF keeping
the sea with impunity. At present the War
rior comes nearest to the model required, but
We shall be greatly surprised it British inge-
rulty cannot Improve upon that model, espe-
clal1y after the experiments in action.
