George and Martha Washington.

We have the pleasure of calling the atten-
ton OF our readers to Middleton's Portraits
OF George and Martha Washington, which
cannot be exceeded in beauty and perfection.
This pair of pictures strikes, as joy, forever,
being really and truly thing of beauty. The
portraits are from Stuart's original painting,
and being of the cabinet, or half life size, make
rich and rare parlor ornament. The general
outline of these pictures is exceedingly fine,
while the shading is rich and peculiarly pleas
ing, afording lines of expression which the
observer cannot fail to admire No parlor in
this city shonld be without this pair of por-
traits; they are the richest and cheapest luxury
that taste and refinement can enjoy. How so
much taste and refinement can be afforded for
so comparatively trifling sum of money we
cannot understand. The agent will spend
few days in our city, and will Immediately
commence to canvass, and our citizens should
avail themselves of this occasion to provide
themselves with an elegant likeness of the
Father of our Country. Any one wishing to
see the Painting may address Box 154l, stat
ing their address.

Learning and Loyalty.

These two were exhibited in happy combi-
nation yesterday, at the Gorham Seminary,
where, after thorough and satisfactory ex-
animation, splendid national flag was I'M
furled to the breeze from tall staff erected
for the purpose upon the piazza and roof of
the large seminary building.
The school, though diminished in numbers
by the absence of many young men in the
ranks of the army, and several young ladies
spending the summer in travelling, made an
excellent appearance, doing much credit to
the energy and skill of Mr.. Webb and his as
sociates, and proving that we need not send
our sons and daughters far from home TO find
a thorough education.
The flag was presented by the masters and
misses of the school, made up by the latter,
and presented gracefully, with neat little
speech, by Miss Persis N. Andrews.
Judge Pierce, as President of the Board of
Trustees, received it with appropriate remarks,
followed by prayer from Rev. Mr.. Strong, re-
marks by DR.. Chickering, Judge Waterman.
Rev. Mr.. Warren, DIR. Keene, and Messrs,
Emery, Hunt, Fogg and others.
A shower made it necessary to have this
ceremony in the old academy, with the fine
singing of the seminary choir. But as we
came out three young ladies were seen on the
upper balcony raising the beautiful ensign
which was heartily cheered; and then with a
vote of thanks to all concerned, including
Capt. Stevens, who had attended 10 the 'run-
ming, rigging" &C., the company dispersed,
well pleased. VISITOR.

Harpswell.

This is the kind of money with which the
conscript is cheated. 1t bears an endorsement
of the town officers calculated to discredit it
with all those to whom it is offered for nego-
tiation. The selectmen in effect write "bogus"
or doubtful" upon its very face. How is the
conscript to pay for his exemption with t?-
Not dollar Of tax can be assessed to pay
them. Does the poor man wish to use them
for immediate purposes? Who doubts that
he will be obliged to sell them to the copper
head Shylocks for such sum as they may see
fit to offer; or who doubts that these same
copperhead spectators will plead their doubt
full value, and the risk of taking them, as rea-
son for the smallness of the sum for which they
consent to purchase them? The truth is, these
documents" are cheat and swindle upon
poor men. As means Of purchasing cxemp-
ton they are Of no valne, or Of only such value
as set OF heartless spectators may see fit TO
offer for them. The issue of such stuff is
party trick. 1t is hoped, by distributing such
paper widely in the hands of the people, that
powerful motive may be brought to bear
upon the holders to make them elect cop
perhead representatives, who will vote TO le-
galize the transaction. 1t is all wicked,
heartless cheat and swindle upon poor men
and their friends.

that extent, why should there be any hesitan-
cy on the part of the Governor in encouraging
them to do so? We trust Gov Coburn will
reconsider his decision, and promptly encour-
age Coils. Beal and Fessenden to go ahead,
and enlist couple of regiments that will re-
fleet lasting honor upon the State And if he
cannot get over his doubts in relation to his
authority, let him, like his predecessor, stake
the responsibility" and pay the needful boun-
ties, trusting to a loyal legislature to approve
the act and to endorse him as good and faith

Shall the Veteran Regiments be Raised,

Shall the Veteran Regiments be Raisedf
A single word will decide this question af-
frmatively, and that word must be spoken by
the Governor; unspoken, the question is neg
atived. That one word must be "yes," to a
preliminary question, to wit: Shall the Veter-
an Volunteers receive the State bounty of
800 each.
We viii explain: The Veteran Regiments
are to be composed Of men who have been in
the seSvice at least nine months, and are to be
raised under General Order No. 1911 from the
War Department. The Veterans are to receive
bounty from the General Government, paid
ininstalments, of s402. Col Fessenden of the
late 18th Maine, and Col Beal OF the late 10th
Maine, have both been authorized to raise
regiments under this General Order but in the
outset they meet with practical difficulty.
The men who are anxious to make up their
commands find that, by becoming substitutes
for drafted men they can receive 500 more
money, to wit: $500 from the drafted indiyid-
ual, 500 State bounty, and 500 from the
National Government. The difference to them
therefore, is sos in favor of becoming substi-
tutes, and TINS circumstance, II not overcome,
will defeat the raising of the regiments in
question.
We understand that Gov. Coburn does not
feel authorized, under the act of the Legisla-
ture, to pay the State bounty to the members
OF these proposed regiments. We think he
msintcrprets the law, and loses sight of the
very important fact that these regiments are

CoLLIsoN.-Durng the dense fog Thursday
night, the steamer New England from St.
John and Eastport, about midnight, collded
with the schooner Mary Elizabeth, Capt. Mayo,
of Trenton, from LIE preaux, laden with lum-
Der for Boston, about II miles east of Matini-
Gus. The schooner sunk to the waters edge,
and after rescuing the captain, his wife and
child and crew, an endeavor was made to tow
the schooner into port; but the wind blowing
fresh from SSW, rendered it impossible and
she was abandoned. Shortly after, another
collision came near happening with vessel
which just cleared the steamer. The New
England was steaming very slowly. on account
of the thick fog, and blowing the steam whis-
tie every few minutes. She arrived here
about ten o'clock yesterday forenoon.

The rebels, 375 strong, drove in our pickets
and unsuccessfully attempted to flank us and

The railroad is all safe. Gen. Burbridge,
who was at home on a furlough, volunteered
his services to drive the rebels back, and was

to "draw up" we are not informed, except it
should be such an one that, should the legisla-
ture refuse to sanction the doings of the to,cn,
it would result disastrously only to those who
should hold it, as the agent of the town and
their bondsmcn would escape by the terms Of

said that the contractor for erecting the build
