THE SOURCE OF THE NILE DIscovER-
ED.-The great problem, which has puz-
zled tie world from the remotest antiquity,
is at last solved, and the source of the
great river of Africa, the White Nile, is
no longer matter of mere speculation
Two English travellers by the name Of
Speke and Grant claim the honor. They
represent the Nile springing from a lake,
called Victoria, which they have circum-
navigated, and which is in the northern
hemisphere, about ten degrees north of
the equator. The expedition started with
20 men; "only II remain. The number
was greatly diminished by desertion, 9TH
ers were lost by sickness and casualties
They had to fight their way to reach
White River, but relate marvellous things
of the sub-equa'orial regions, and above
all report large quantities of ivory"

UNIoN LEAGUEs.-These orr anizations
are springing up in all parts of the eoun-
try and promise much good. Their OBJ
ject is to unite the whole loyal strength in
the one paramount duty Of saving the Un-
ion. We should remember that the whole
task Of regaining our national authority
does not fall upon the soldier by virtue Of
his donning the Union blue. We who re-
main at homa have part to perform, and
should not stand idly by in disorganized
state while copperheads, traitors and dew
lis damned {" firm concord hold.A {" Ip
Union there is strength" and we believe
the good coming from the deterwiued, TN.
conditional voice through ythe Loya
Leagues can be made tower Of strength
in outstanding the resources of our ar
mics and holding all patriots in position
more favorable togthc work Of suppress
| ing the rebellion. The following para
graph points out the duties of such an or
ganization:
"We pledge ourselves TO an uncondi
tional loyalty to the Government of ,he
United States. to an unwavering supper
of its efforts to suppress the rebellion, ant
to spare no endeavor to maintain un,m
paired the National Unity, both in princi
pie and territorial boundary. We pro
pose to bind together all Loyal men in
combination to maintain the power, glory
and integrity Of the Nation"

HUMOROUS AND DRAMATIc.-Profs Briggs
and Hibbard, in their efforts last evening be-
fore very large audience at the new City
Hall, won the highest praise and most gener-
Gus applause Portland can give. Prof Briggs,
who has established reputation among us,
was of course at home, and, as usual, exceed
ingly felictous and brilliant in his recitations.
We must speak more particularly of Prof
Hibbard, as public curiosity was alive TO see if
he was equal to what had been promised for
him. We must say his style is remarkably
taking; all seemed captivated by his delivery,
and it was with difficulty he could get through
with the recitation of the some Horse Shay"
on account Of the applause that would not
cease. 1t must necessarily follow there will
by great crowd to listen to his dramatic effort
this evening. Hugo's "Buried Alive" "The
Sleeping Sentinel and Poe's Bells are of
very high order, and never have we seen Sher-
idan's farce "Saddled with Wife" more fine
ly and humorously portrayed Portland may
indeed feel proud Of these entertainments A
new and very striking programme is to be
offered this evening. We need not say, be
present.

WARE, j., PRESIDING


WEDNEsDAY.-In Acknowledgements d.,
and Charles Pinkham vs. j. and J. Maddocks.
This was libel for wages as hands on board
the fishing schooner Australia Libellants
claim as their share of the catch, eight barrels
of mackerel to Manson D., and six barrels to
Charles Pinkham, at the rate of Sl5 81 per
barrel, at which price portion of the crew
were settled with. The alleged balance
claimed by compliments is SIS IA to Manson
D., and $50 At to Charles. Respondent, Jo-
seph Maddccks, denies any Indebtedness TO
the complainant, and says that John Maddocks
Is dead; that Joseph was not an owner; that
all he had to do was by purchase of the mack
erel of some Of the crew, but the Pinkhams
declined to sell, saying that they would come
for their share. They failed to do this, and
some time after, prices having declined, the
mackerel were sold, and the libellants were
paid (which was ADMITTEDLY the actual pro-
ceeds; but the libellants claim the price mack
erel were worth at the end Of the voyage.
The evidence in the case was all put in, and,
after the arguments, Judge Ware reserved the
case for decision. r. K. Sewall for libellants.
]. II. Drummond for respondent.

Failure of the Yazoo Expedition.

PHILADELPHIA, April /.
A special dispatch to the Cincinnati Bulle-
tin says: News from Vicksburg and vicinity
has an unfavorabe aspect. Dispatches state
that the expedition through Steele's and Black
Bayous into the upper Yazoo is a failure
Admiral Porter succeeded in getting through
both Bayous with his gunboats aud proceeded
twenty-five or thirty miles further into Deer
and Rolling Forks, when he encountered
small force Of rebels, who so annoyed him
with sharpshooters and obstructons in the
channel, that further progress was impossible
without the cooperation of infantry, which
came up the next day. The enemy had In the
mean time put trees in the stream, rendering
it impossible. They annoyed the gunboats
otherwise, and seemed to be gathering in con-
siderable force. Reinforcements of infantry
were sent to their assistance on Monday, and
and on coming up with the beleaguered boats
they found the latter completely hemmed in
by distractions in front and rear. Skirmisl-
ing continued all day, when the rebels being
reinforced, the gunboats were withdrawn, and
the whole force embarked on transports near
the head of Black Bayou for their return to
Youngs Point The Federal loss was ten or
twelve killed and wounded, including Mr.. Sui
livan, an engineer, killed by she'll The reb-
ell loss unknown, but supposed considerable.
