ARREsT-Saturday evening Deputy Mar
shal Heald arrested Llewellyn Sawyer, who
had been connected with Thomas W. Higgins
in passing bogus money in Lewiston, Wales
and Waterville. Higgins was arrested at Lew
iston about four weeks since, but Sawyer made
his escape and has been residing at Lawrence
under the assumed name of John OBrien.
Last Friday he returned to this city with the
intention Of being married on Sunday. Heald
learned that he was here and Saturday even
ing called at the Portland House in Green
street to make enquiries about him. While
the Deputy Marshal was there, Sawyer slipped
out of the door and made off; but Heald heard
him and gave chase, and arrested him in Port

name was varney, and the officer must be
mistaken; but on being taken to the lookup
he acknowledged that he was Sawyer. He
will be taken TO Lewiston this morning.

The Herald says it is stated that the Navy
Department has received reliable information
OF the Whereabouts of the Alabama, and that
the Vanderbilt would immediately sail To look
for her.
The Herald has Harper's Ferry dispatch
stating that Gen. Geary with 5000 infantry
twelve pieces of artillery. and fifty cavalry,
marched upon Winchester on the Sd inst, and
demanded its surrender, which was complied
with, the people exhibiting many signs ofjoy
at his arrival.
He reports to Gen. Socum that having left
HarpeI's Ferry on the lst inst, he met the en-
emy's cavalry under White, Henderson and
Baylor atsCharleston, and routed them, with
some loss in wounded.
He marched into Berryville the same even
ing, and again met the enemy, drew him into
a trap, killed five and wounded eighteen, and
the same evening bivouacked three miles be-
yond Berryville. Next day he advanced be-
yond the Occoquan, skirmishing with the reb-
el cavalry and infantry, and bivouacked in
Ash Hollow, between Berryyille aud VIM
chester.
Our troops captured 100 horses and mules.
and several wagon loads of -four belonging to
the rebel army. At Winchester twenty-five
rebels who were unable to escape were paroled.
Seventy-hve conscripts claimed protection,
which was granted. Five of our own prison.
ers were released.
Gen. Geary, in pursuance of orders, then re-
turned to Harper's Ferry, though large dele
cations of citizens begged him to remain
Our only loss was one man slightly wounded.
A special dispatch from Washington TO the
Times says certificates of 5000 each, to the
amount of two and a half millions, have been
stolen from treasurer Spinner's desk. Fortu-
nately they were unsigned, and measures have

CAMP OF l7TH MAINE REGr.

CAMP OF 18th MAINE KEGT.
near Fredericksburg, Va, Nov. u, 1862.
Mr.. Editor. Sir IL write to inform your
readers ofthe death of lst Lieut.. Willard NJ.
Jenkins of Co. B,of this Regiment. He died of
typhoid fever at Edwards Ferry, Nd, upon
the 20th of the present month. His illness
seemed at first of a comparatively trivial sort,
being one of those bilious attacks to which
nearly all our soldiers are liable before becom-
ing fully accimated. From bilious intermit-
tent fever his Illness changed to severe type
oftyphoid, but when we left Edwards Ferry
we fully expected that Lieut. J, would speedi-
ly recover and rejoin his company. The last
mail brought us the sad intelligence of his
death.
The deceased was member of the last class
at Bowdoin College, and, as his friend and
classmate, l feel called upon to offer slight
tribute of frespect-unworthy though it be--to
the memory of him with whom was SO init
mately associated. Another son of Bowdoin,
and another Of the officers of the I7th has fall
en-, not in battle. but victim to disease, ever
more fearful than the bullet or the sword.
More than half of the class Of '62 are now serv-
ing in the army, and as they are called upon to
mourn the death of the second OF their number
who has fallen victim 10 this rebellion, they
will doubtless remember the virtues and for
get the faults of those who can WELD the sword
no more. But, Classmates, let us fight on, re-
membering that he who lives is honored and
he who dies thrice honored. CLAssMArE.

MATTERS ABOUT TOWN.
Supreme Judicial Court.

CRIMINAL TERM.-Fox, j., PRESIDING.
SATURDAY-The grand jury came in and
returned twenty bills of indictment for various
offences, among which was one for murder;
one for breaking and entering dwelling house
with intent to commit larceny; two for COM
pound larceny; one for keeping house of
ill-fame; two for uttering forged orders; seven
for larceny; one for peddng without license !;
one for maliciously driving and using horse !;
one for keeping drinking house and tippling
shop; one for being common seller and one
for adultery.
The following arraignments took place:
Jeremiah Ragan, breaking and entering
house in Westbrook, with intent to commit
larceny. Plea not guilty. ]. ODonnell for
the defense.
Levi S. Given, compound larceny, in steal
ing articles from the boarding house of Mrs.
Charles. Plea not guilty. J. ODonnell for
the defense.
John &. Stickney, 1.-TWO indictments) uttering
forged orders in the name of Rice & Co., Etna,
on w. & c. R. MiIliken. Plea not guilty.
Daniel Ward larceny of $40 from Mrs. Dom
ahue. Plea not guilty. J. O'Donnell for de-
fense.
Joanna McGrath and Ellen F. Murphy.
These are the clothes line thieves Against
them the grand jury found six bills of indict-
ment, to each of which they severally pleaded
not guilty. J.oDonnell appeared as their
counsel.
Broncas Oceney, compound larceny in steal
ing articles from the house of S. b. Gowel in
Cape Elizabeth. Plea not guilty. Broncas is
Corsican, and not understanding our Ian
guage, the plea was entered for him.
Timothy Donahue and Elizabeth Treat,
adultery. Plea not guilty, J. oDonnell ap-
peared for Mrs. Treat.
The traverse jurors will come in on Tuesday,
at which time trials will commence. Court
adjourned to Monday at 1-2 o'clock, P. NJ.
Among the prisoners at the bar was the lad
Isaac Smith, indicted for the murder Of the
lad Jordan, by pushing him into the water.
Smith is bright looking boy, and seems ut
terry unconscious of having committed any
great oiense, and is willing to plead guilty to
murder or manslaughter. 1t will be a serious
question both to Court and counsel what to
do with this lad. The State prison does not
seem TO be the place to put such boy; he
does not appear hardened enough for that;
and yet something win have to be done with
him. We presume the whole character of the
lad will be strictly enquired into, and the At
torney General will make such disposition of
the case as the ends of justice may demand.

PORTLAND BENEVOLENT SoCIETY.-The

place in the church of the First Parish last
evening. The spacious house was well filled,
and the services were of deeply interesting
character. The Introductory and closing
prayers were offered by Rev. VIM. Il. Clark, of
Chestnut Street Church, and the sermon was
by Rev. E. G. Bolles, of the Universalist
Church. His text was the words OF the Sa-
yiour-@The poor have the gospel preached
unto them," and the discourse was an able,
earnest and forcible appeal for practical be-
nevolence. A collection of 500 was taken
up in aid of the funds of the society.

Saturday, A. NJ, Dec. 9.
On Thursday the rebels brought some field
pieces 10 bear on our gunboats lying in the
Rappahannock, near Port Royal. A few shots
from the boats upon them soon compelled
them to withdraw their guns out of range.
No harm was DONE Yesterday the weather
was anything but pleasant. In the morning
it commenced raining, then haing. and about
noon snow set in, which continued rapidly
until 10 O'Clock last night. This morning
there are about four inches OF snow on the
ground, and everything is frozen up. Much
complaint is expressed among army officers in
reference To the large number Of Brig. Gener-
ais hanging around Washington with view
of getting appointed on Court Martials in or
der to escape active service in the field. There
is nothing new from the other side of the
river. The rebels have not changed their
position.
