REAR ADMIRAL Andrew H. Foote, who died
in New York on Friday night, was christian
hero such as constitute the glory of nation
His forty-one years service in the navy had
been alike useful to his country and creditable
to himself. In 1859, as first lieutenant of
the sloop John Adams. he circumnavigated
the globe, and on this cruise punished the
Sumatra pirates, and was next found relieving
the Sandwich Island missionaries from the
prosecutions Of a French admiral. In 1919
he waged active warfare against the slave
trade upon the African coast, and subsequent
y published vigorous philippics against this
villainous traffic. He upheld American honor
IN the Chinese troubles of 1856, pun
lshlng an assault upon our flag by des-
troylng the ports which gave the offence.
AT the beginning of the present rebellion he
was made flag officer of the Mississippi fleet,
and the britliancy of his operations in that
quarter is familiar to the world. He was re-

points in his career. Gen. Boomer, named

thirty years ago, Rev. George Boardman, was
son Of Rev. j. B. Boomer of this city. He

love Of mental cultivation. He received his
academic education at the Worcester Manual

Worcester Academy, and was intending to

oversight failing him, he turned his at
tention to business, going to st. Louis at the
age of nineteen, where, by his success in
oridge-buildng and other enterprises in Hi

AN AFFAIR AT PORTLAND. -Dispatchcs
which will be found on our first page
give an account Of a curious and exciting oc-
currence that took place in Portland harbor
last Friday night and Saturday. The rebel
pirates who have heretofore manned the Ia
cony stole into that harbor, Friday night,
seized the revenue cutter Caleb Gushing with
out opposition, and took her to sea. They
were promptly followed by two steamers and
captured. The revenue cutter was blown up
by the rebels but their own vessel, the Arch
err was taken. 1t seems they had burned the
Tacony and shifted her armament to this YES
sci, which they had recently captured. The
result of this affair saves the Portland people
from the modification they would have felt #
the pirates had been permitted to escape
with the stolen vessel. The seizure of
the revenue cutter was one of those
featS that seem bold because they are
unexpected, but which cannot be repeat
ed. 1t is evident that the cutter was in the
hands of very incompetent officer; but the
success of the rebels was in a great measure
que to the TACT that nobody there supposed
such feat would be undertaken. 1t is no.
wise likely that another such adventure will
be attempted anywhere on the coast, certain
ly not by the same fellows who are now safe
in Fort Preble. This Portland affair will put
the whole coast on the alert; and at the same
time,it does not encourage the rebels to re-
peat the operation.

WASHINGTON, June 28.-Retugees who have
reached the army Of the Potomac from Rich
mond represent that there was quite a panic
there. Only a very small guard was left
there, and many citizens were leaving and
going to Staunton. This would seem to in
dictate that the Richmond people are rather
uneasy at the almost total abandonment of
that city by rebel forces.
New YORK, June %, --The Mercury's
Washington dispatches say that the people of
Richmond were intensely excited at the re-
ported advance of Gen. Dix with 80, 900 men,
on that city. Rebel reports say Dlxs whole
army is at White House, approaching Rich
