that two pegro stewards attached to the Hsml

Ihad. Stevens, OF Pennsy vana, in late
speech in the Northern House of Representa-

once declare for the Southern Coused eracy if
the Federal troops were withdrawn fom her
territory. This statement is no doubt true
and was so known to Lincoln when he asserted
in his message that the people Of Mary land. re
marks the Richmond Enquirer, were loyal and
true to his govoinment. But deception and
mis;epre >entatior So much lighter offences
than the heads of the Northern government are
in the habit Of committing, that scarcely
think it necessary to notice them.

arising, the captain denounced the private,
and, at the same time announced his psrsonai

cold hiooded and thin vlsaged people at the

pluch sympathy for the Soutnera negro. had an
opportuaity OF witnessing the happiness he en-

Mr.. Thomas Grafton was upon Human Pro

Mr.. Thomas Grafton was upon Human Pro-
gress, in the higher sense of that word and so
far as we were able to hear it, it was an emf
nently practical discourse, well calculated to
stimulate thought and action in the right di-
rection. Those who heard the whole of it,were
unqualified in their praises, and pronounced it
one of the finest things of the occasion. The
orator is a fine looking man, with noble form,
an open, frank countenance, an intellectual de-
velopement of brain, and he delivers his
thoughts with energy, and with a freedom of
gesticulation not always confined to definitely
laid down rules. His voice is rough, and is
rather unpleasant inasmuch as the listener can
scarcely avoid the conviction that his harshness
of voice is distressing to the speaker himself
Perhaps he was laboring under the influence
of hoarseness. Judge Thomas is of the con-
sentative school in politics, but his speech at
the dinner table showed that, though some
what scrupulous about the use of means, he is
earnest and whole-souled in his devotion to the
country, and in his desire to see the rebellion
crushed out. In his own words, he would ten
der full amnesty to the rebel masses, upon
their return to allegiance, but inerordble JUS
tice to their wicked leaders.

Closing FESTIVITIES at ..Bowdoin.,

Yesterday, Thursday forenoon, in accord
ance with past usage, the halls, cloisters and
secret recesses of sold Bowdoin" were laid
open to the public, and great was the rush, of
ladies and gentlemen, old and young, TO make
the most of the free exhibition. The chapel
building, so highly complimented for its archi-
tectural beauty by Mr.. Durant at the dinner
table, forms the chief attraction. In the east
end Of this building, extending partially down
the north transepr, is the voluminous College
Library, numbering we don't know how many
volumes, but presenting an array of plain and
fancy backs sufficient to satisfy the hunger Of
a ravenous book-worm.
The principal portion of the north transept
is appropriated to paintings, to specimens in
geology, mneralogy and ORTHODOXY, and to
relics of mysterious and dark age. Here,
carefully secured, like pannels, in the ceilings,
are the famous slabs exhumed from the ruins
of ancient Nineveh, that wicked and rebeious
city to whose inhabitants Jonah was sent on a
missionary tour, but who, faithless to his Duty
found himself very much against his will,
pressed into the whaling business. These
slabs, several in number, are of grayish stone,
engraved with figures in human and other
forms, of that rude kind which proves their
great antiquity, and upon several of the larger
ones-about 5 by 8 feet square-are elaborate
inscriptions, in regular lines, and evidently in
the very language which Jonah used when he
preached that in forty days Nineveh should be
destroyed. OF course we had not the time to
translate these ancient Inscriptions, and there
fore shall not attempt to give the reader the
fruits of any such labor.
Whether these sealed books will ever be
opened, and their secrets revealed 10 the world,
is among the hidden things of the future as
yet, as we are informed, no mortal can break
the seal that holds back the minds of the lv-
ing generation from communion with the men
of Nineveh in the dialect in which the people
of that city were accustomed to communicate
with each other.
GRAFTON BEFORE THE PHI BETA KAPPA.

A NOVEL PUNIsIIMENT.-A somewhat a
musing occurrence took place at Port Repub-
lie recently. One of the men connected with
Rigby's Battery had stolen an old yellow dress,
scarf and small piece ofnew carpet.
The act coming to General Milroys notice
he sent at once for the man, and having ascer-
tanned that there could be no mistake concern.
ing his guilt, he at once concluded he would
let him cultivate still more familiar acquaint-
ance with female apparel, and accordingly or
dered the old dress put on the offender, the
scarf tied about his neck, and the carpetng
carefully laid across his arm. Thus equipped
and prepared for creating sensation, he was
ordered to be marched through the camp.
The modification of the man was complete.
no more delaine daesses were stolen in his
command, and the effect was most wholeso me.

Camp near Harrison's Landing, :
A.. 1895.

Camp near Harrison's Landing,
Aug. /, 1862.
The rebels got several batteries in position
on the other side of the river, and about 2
o'clock in the morning commenced to shell our
camps at the Landing. The lights that were
burning on the transports and in the camp
were Immediately extinguished, and so they
failed to get good range, and consequently did
but little damage. Several lancers were killed,
being in camp near the river, and some dam
age was done to the trains. Our seige guns
that were planted on the banks of the river
gave them few compliments, in the shape Of
100 Founders, which were no doubt appreciat-
ed by the midnight "chivalry"
Since we landed on the Peninsula it has been
no uncommon thing for the enemy to make
these night attacks, and while we have always
responded to them, to let them know that we
were "alive," this cowardly example they have
seen fit to set has never been initiated by our
Generals in single instance. They have,
however, done but little damage in this way,
except that our men have been at times de-
prived of their rest by this course.
Several surgeons from Maine have arrived,
and have been assigned with the different
Maine regiments in this army. Their services
are much needed, and will be appreciated by
our brave fellows, many ofwhom are so unfort-
innate as to need their medical treatment
Joseph Sawyer, Litchfeld, Me-, arrived here
a few days ago, and has been assigned to Co.
l.. from what he had heard of the Maine regi-
ments he took the 18th for his choice. Hope
Others viii ego and do likewise"
Our regiment has recently had new supply
of tente d abri, and the company streets have
been both ornamented and shaded by small
pine trees which have been stuck up, making
q healthy and comfortable shade.
Soft bread, dried apples, and vegetables are
now furnished the sick of the regiment, also
ice, every day. ARoosTooK.

advices from Sperryville state that deserter
from Gordonville reports large force of rebels
at that place and at Stannardsville and that
reinforcements are arriving daily
The rebel programme he says is to whip
Gen. Pope and then Mcclellan.
One hundred and forty citizens of Sperry-

music suited to the circumstances.
Gen. Sigefs advance corps is not subsisting
