FENCING. Broadsword, cut and thrust,
small sword and the bayonet exercise, are to
the body what horsemanship, open debate, and
shss are to the mind giving alertness, prompt
ness. and instantaneous selfpossession.
And therefore we are disposed to congratu-
late our soldiers who carry swords, that if they
will, they may learn what to do with them be-
fore it is too late.
We cannot learn to swim on table, nor go
through the cavalry exercise, to much advan-
tage, on saw-horse; and therefore, the SOON
er it is known that we have two fencing-mas-
tiers at work here, the better: Bonnell and
Sergeant Amber THE first teacher of broad
sword, small sword, Tor point and cut and
thrust; and the last a teacher of the bayonet
exercise, attack and defence, and the broad
sword in twelve divisions; both well encour-
aged and well worthy of encouragement. See
to it, boys, that you go not forth unprepdred.

A SUCCESSFUL INSURANCE COMPANY
There are "streaks of luck" in insurance
companies as well as anything else. At least
it appears like luck to an outsider, though
if we come right down TO the fact OF the case,
luck and good fortune is generally attributa-
bic to the ability, the perseverance,, the integ
rity and common sense OF the managers.
Comparatively few persons achieve the sue
cess they covet, but everybody sees and
appreciates it in others. Every one likes to
be connected with lucky man or lucky
company. If man is obliged TO walk him
self, he likes to get up something with those
who are able to ride. Ii one has any business
to do, he wants to do it with successful
concern. This fact makes it harder for
new enterprise TO get established, but awards
to it more credit after it has overcome difficult
ties and reached a sure foundation.
An instance of rapid rise and marked sue
cess is shown in the present condition of the
Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany OF this city whose twelfth annual report
is published in our advertising columns this
morning Organized by some. of our leading
citizens in 1851, the company has been steadily
growing each year since in everything that
would conduce to its prosperity. The guar
antee capital is 100000, all paid up, aud so
rapid has been the accumulation that the
capital and surplus on the first of August
amounted to 1904 ,S9S, an increase of S129, S03
over the assets of August first in 1862. The
total receipts of the last year were S246,5 32
an increase of nearly $4,000 over the year
preceding This is a rare growth and success
in an insurance company, and argues a great
hold on the public confidence, which is a
fact. AS Springfield institution we have a
right to feel proud of it, Its directors are
among our own citizens, and among its men,
bers are many of the best business men in the
| country. The business of the company is
managed with great integrity aud iberality
and there are agencies in all large cities and
towns of the northern states. Its reputation
for promptness and fairness in settling losses
is unsurpassed, and popular as the coinpan,
now is, it seems destined to be more SO witt
those who wish TO insure their lives, that il
case of death, they may leave something u
those dependant on them. The annual state
ment alone is enough to show that the com
pany is taking rank among the first in tn,
country. 1t not only commands it but deserves
it.-lSpringfield Republican.

THREE DAYS
LATER FROM EUROPE.
Arrival of the Hecla at New York.

New YORK, Sept. II.
The steamship Becla, from Liverpool the
Sth and Queenstown the 9th, has arrived.
The Morning Post believes there is little
doubt the two suspected iron rams at Liver
pool will be detained by the government I'M
der the foreign enlistment act. 1t is, rever-
Iheless, contended that they were Luilt TO the
order of French house, under contract for
the late Pasha OF Egypt, but the present Pasha
repudiates the contract. The accusation is
that they are intended for hostilities against n
friendly power, and the court of law must de-
eide upon their detention or release.
The Union Emancipation Society have ad-
dressed memorial to Earl Russell on the sub
ject, similar to that of the Emancipation Soci-
ETY., urging prompt investigation.
The News says the report that the rebel
government has resolved to call out negroes is
received with distrust, and some regard it, if
true, as a confession of weakness by the South,
others as a mastery stroke of policy.
The Daily News says it will prove conclu-
sively, not only that the Confederate cause is
hopeless, but that the leaders know it to be So
The Morning Post looks on il as a MASTER
piece of policy, giving at once immense rein
forcements, and exercising an advantageous
moral influence in Europe.
Glass, Elliot & Co. have contracted with the
Atlantic Telegraph Company to manufacture
and lay the cable next summer.
Assertions are put forth that the Grand
Duke Maxmillian accepts the Mexican crown
An official Vienna paper represents the matter
as still undecided.
The French pamphlet referred to by the last
steamer is said to have been issued at the ex-
pense OF Eslanger, the rebel loan contractor,
to bolster up that speculation.
French ministerial councils occurred almost
daily.
Yhe Polish question was unchanged. 1t is
rumored that the proposed reforms will prove
unimportant and unsatisfactory.

SOUTHERN REBELLION AND NORTHERN
DEMocRACY.-The Richmond Enquirer of the
9TH urges Lee to a new invasion of Pennsylva-
MIA, in leader of which the following is a
sample extract:
The success oftbe Northern Democrat party
lCouid be no longer doubtful should Gen. Lee
once more adrdnce on Meade. Parties in the
United States are so nearly balanced, that the
least advantage thrown in favor OF one will
insure its success. Should the Confederate
army remain quiescent on the banks of the
Rappahannock, the boastful braggadocia of
the Yankee official reports will be confirmed,
and Llncoln and Halleck will point in tri-
umph to the crippled condition of the Con-
federate army confirmation Of the great
victory won in Pennsylvania.
The Democrats unable to gainsay such evil
dence, will be constrained TO enter the contest
of speakership shorn of the principle part of
their strength-the dsgraceful management
and conduct of the war; Gen. Lee must turn
politician as well as warrior, and we believe he
will prove the most successful politician the
Contederates ever produced. He may move
and direct his army so as to procure political
results which in their bearing upon this war
will prove more effectual than the bloodest
victory. Let him drive Mead into Washington
and he will again raise the spirits OF the Demo-
Gratis confirm their timid, and give confidence
to their wavering. He will embolden the peace
party, should he again cross the Potomac, for
he will show the people of Pennsylvania how
little security they have from Lincoln for the
protection of their homes II matters not
whether the advance be made for the purpose
OF permanent occupation or simply for grand
raid, it will demonstrate that in the third year
of the war they are SO far from the subjuga-
ton of the Confederate States, that the de-
fence of Maryland and Pennsylvania has not
been secured.
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1863-09-22

NEW YORK, Sept. q.
The World says editorially that private adj
vices from New Orleans represent that con-
siderable feeling exists in New Orleans on the
Intervention question, especially among the
French and Creole population. This feeling
had been much stimulated by the latest mail
from the North. 1t was known to the French
Consul at New Orleans and others that the
French had occupied Matamoras with 1000 or
5000 men within Il few days.
collision was anticipated between the
French and Federal gunboats at the mouth of
the Rio Grande, on some matter connected
with cotton and rebel supplies there.
The feeling in regard to Intervention was
recently indicated by an advance of five per
cent. in rebel funds.
Ex-Governor Morehead, who is now in Par
is, il is positively alleged has written to friends
in New York that Napoleon and JEFF. Davis
have formed a secret treaty of recognition
through the agency of Slidell.

NEW YORK, Sept. 81.
prisoner, who left Richmond only two
days since, furnishes the Herald with facts rel
alive to the South. He states that but one
division of troops has been taken from Lees
army, which latter is located near Hanover,
about 10000 being fitbDr duty. 1t is under
stood that if Gen. Meade advances Lee will
fall back on Richmond, an evacuation of which
is not thought OF by the rebels. The defences
of Richmond are complete. The rebel force
in Western Virginia is very small; it includes
lmbodens and Jackson's forces. The rebels
have plenty to eat, the starvation stories being
absurd.
This informant was in Charleston when Gen.
Gilmore bombarded it. One shell struck the
spire of the st. Nicholas Church, and all
struck within half a mile of each other. They
produced the utmost CONSERVATION. The city
is nearly destitute now, and the place will be
destroyed before surrendering. Beauregards
force is about 5000, which was sweed to
about $4,000 by Jenkins division from Lees
army. Beauregard lost much OF his popular
ity when our forces captured Morris Island.

sE-Knoxville, the headquarters of Gen.
5000 inhabitants 1t is situated on the Hols-
ton river, one of the afiiuents of the Tennes-
see river, at the head of steamboat nayiga-
ton. The great Virginia and Tenaessean
railroad runs through it. At the time the
State declared for secession, the vote in Knox
county in which Knoxville is, stood 3619 for
the Union and 1914 for secession. Gen. Burn
sides entry into Knoxville was perfect ova-
ton. Thousands of people of every age, sex
and color greeted him with shouts of rejoic-
ing Whether or not Gen. Burnside is to re-
tain undisturbed possession Of East Tennes-
see remains TO be seen. There will no doubt
be desperate effort on the part of the rebel
generals to regain that important position.
rg- The report that reached US yesterday
of the repulse of Rosecrans does not prove
true, although his rapid movements into the
heart of rebellion with SO small force had
aroused the fears of his friends in the rear, as
we'll as his enemies in 'front.' His advance into
Georgia with an army of only about 10000 men,
was sufficient for all purposes, SO far as Bragg's
army was concerned, but was not considered
sufficient to meet the combined forces of Bragg
and Johnston, with reinforcements from Beau
regard and Lee. Rosecrans will, no doubt, be
able to maintain his position. II he should be
obliged to fall back on Chattanooga, he can
then be reinforced by Burnside, and make a
stand from which he cannot be driven. Rose
Grams was probably anxious to reach Rome, a
very important position in Georgia, and may
have hazarded too much in the attempt.

We have received returns from 461 cities,
towns and plantations, the total vote of which
is as follows:
Samuel tony,. oo,5So

Majority for Cony. 1879
The vote in these towns last year was for
Cohurn 46,l9S, Bradbury 33,453, Jameson

gain over last year, 12,S7l.
There are about thirty towns and planta-

for Coburn 6l9, Bradbury and Jameson 6O4.
We do not anticipate much Of a majority for
Cony in these places. His whole majority in
the State will range from $4,000 to 1880.
The vote of the State is the largest ever
given with the exception of the Presidential
years OF 1856 and 1860. 1t will be little ris-

will be his last in Portland Ii will thus be the last
opportunity offered to them Of learning that Lam
guage from the only sFrenchman teaching in

BY the by it must be rather pulling to know who
is the genuine French teacher. when Swiss teachers
come ont as Partisan teachers, because they have
spent their babyhood in Paris, IL 1t mattered
much whether baby be born in Paris or Geneva.
Since the baby born in Paris brought In a ten
