VETERAN VoLUNTEERs."-The War De
partment has issued orders for receiving en-
listments, from the present time till the sd of
September, of volunteer infantry, artillery and
cavalry regiments, to serve for three years or
during the war, to be composed of those who
have been in actual service not less than nine
months, and to be designated " Veteran Vol
unteers."
The bounty and premium for this re enlist
ment amount to four hundred and two dollars
for each soldier, in addition to the monthly
pay. One months pay will be paid in adj
vance, on being mustered into service. The
bounty and premium, in addition to the MONTH
ly pay, will be S27 on being mustered in, $50
more in two months, $50 more in six months,
$50 more after one year, $50 more after eigh-
teen months, $50 more after two years, $50
more after two years and half, and SIS more
at the expiration of three years service. And
If the war should last but three years from the
present time, still the whole bounty will be
paid to those who shall have served to the
end; and il they die in service, their heirs
will receive the same.
We are glad to learn that Col FEssENDEN,
of the Maine 18th, before leaving for home,
petilioned for authority to enlist one of these
veteran regiments, and that he hopes to find
large numbers of the 18th promptly coming
forward to Gil the ranks and to participate in
the prospective glory OF the campaign.

An exchange contains the following, given
by Vicksburg correspondent in an account
of the fight at Milliken's Bend:
Among the incidents of the fight worthy of
note was the capture Of rebel soldier by a
negro who was his slave three months ago.
The Texan was caught in tight place by one
of Col. Leib's men, who cried out to him Hold
on dar, and put down your gun or I'll shoot"
The rebel surrendered Internationally, but az
ter identifying his captor said to one of our
officers that he protested against being held a
prisoner by his own slave "It's good enough
for you" said the officer; that's Just the man
to guard you. And Jim, addressing the SOL
dier) If he don't behave himself shoot him
down" The chivalrous Southerner was very
indignant, and his wrath efervesced in Sc
ries of oaths, which fell upon the ear of the
Intelligent contraband" without effect. The
dusky warrior kept close eye upon his pris-
oner, but refused to hold any conversation
with him, or answer any of his questions as to
when he enlisted or how he dared to level a
gun at his master.

A DEUCE OF A FErcH-UP.-The Portland
convention, which nominated Hon. Arson p.
Morrill, for governor, was the first assembly
which gave token of the existence and prepar-
ed for the organization of the Republican
party in Maine. 1t was at this convention
that the Hon. John j. Perry related an anec-
dote illustrative Of the position of the Democ-
racy; the illustration was never more appo-
site than in these days. Mr.. Perry's story
concerned an old fellow, the proprietor of a
country tavern, who when drunk was always
inspired to run his horse against time. On
one OF these occasions-and they were not in
frequent-a little crowd was collected, the
profered bets were taken, and the mare was
brought out and saddled. BY way of making
everything safe and pleasant, one of the party
hitched rope to the crupper of the saddle
and took round turn about the starting post,
leaving slack of some thirty feet. Too
much excited and obfusticated to notice this
continuance, the drunken Boniface mounted
his beast, and at the word "Gor went-the
length of his rope, and was brought up all
standing, or rather all tumbling, man and sad
die in one promiscuous heap. ugh! ahr'
groaned the old man, rubbing his knees and
sides, "the old mare started weH but there
",cds deuce Of a Jetch-up, rant here?"

PERsoNAL-We had friendly call yester-
day from the celebrated DANIEL PRATT, Jr..
the "Great American Traveller" who is on
his way to Eastport, Meddybemps, Muscle
Ridge, and other portions of down east" on
his great world-mission of waking up the peo-
pie, whom he is prepared to enlighten upon
any known or unknown subject, from the nat
ural history of bed bug to the sublime sci
ences of electro-biology and witchcraft. He
is equally at home in prose and verse, and
from bill he has placed in our hands contain
ing a political apostrophe to the Great Trav-
eller,n we learn that he is regarded as
1.-THE great immortal Daniel Pratt,
UproaTous glorious Daniel Pratt!
Grand, eloquent, lofty, sublime!"
As we could not consent to receive any por-
ton of the offerings made to his genius, we
must decline to divide with him the profits of
a lecture in the City Hall, at ten cents head,
he delivering the lecture and we procuring the
hall and paying the bills. No doubt we deny
ourselves rich beneft-a perfect shower from
fortunes wheel-but it is fitting that Mr.. Pratt
should receive all the gold as he will all the
glory.
By the way; we are sorry to find Mr.. Pratt,
who in times of peace was credited with great
military talents and claimed the honors of a
Major General, and who suggests that in his
hands the Armylof the Potomac would have
had renown instead of rags, is obliged to ex-
cuse himself from taking the field in the pres
ent hour of peril and necessity, because of the
piles and a lame shoulder! No doubt his
pleadngs Of infirmity are just and imperious,
but the "uncircumcised will be very likely
to regard them as the dodge of cowardice.-
We only allude to it to protest against any
such imputation against the powers and daring
of one who has bearded the lion in his den and
met the audacious MELLEN-armed to the
teeth--face to face.
