JUDICIAL ELECTION. In the Assembly, on
the 9th instant, the Senate amendment to the
" Act to provide for a special election of Su-
perentendent of Public instruction and Judi
cial officers was concurred in, fixing the
judicial election on the third Wednesday of
October, The vote in the Assembly stood
Al ayes to "a noes. This brings the judicial
election about one month. after the general
election, and will enable the people to under
stand the political status of the candidates
for judicial honors to that certainty that no
truly Union voter will be trapped into the
support ola sympathising peace man, to fill
our Courts ofjustice in this State. The pos
ition of each candidate for the bench will be
well known before the election, and if the
people of this State would save themselves
from the horrors of a civil war, let them cast
their votes no officer but those who are bold
out-sposen supporters of the government, in
its efforts to suppress this lamnabe rebellion
which has sent mourning into nearly every
family Of our land. Let every voter declare
himself committee of investigation of the
sympathies of the candidates presented for
their suifrages, and if they find that any can
didate will not come ont openly and proclaim
his hearty supp rt to the Union cause, as it
is now understood, let that candidate be ta
bood, and cast to the shades of political oh.
livion, let him run on whatever ticket he
may. Let the people teach the political
demagogues that they cannot gain their votes
by fawningly claiming to be Union, when at
heart they curse the government that gives
them their bread.

1t may be interesting to those OF our citi-

TO know that under the existing State law they
will receive 500 bounty, while the General
Government pays them bounty OF sl02 more,
making an aggregate, besides monthly pay,
rations and clothing, of s202 for each man.
Those who enlist in the Veteran Regiments
receive bounties from the General Govern
ment amounting to s402, but none can so en-
list who have seen less than nine months act
ual service. We do not understand that vol
unteers for the Veteran Regiments receive any
bounty from the State. The bounty paid by
the Stale and General Government TO the
conscripts will be received by those who go as
substitutes, aud if this fact is kept in mind
perhaps those who are obliged to procure sub
stitutes will not find the burden so great as
they otherwise would. There is not particle
of doubt that the City Government at its next
meeting, will place the families of drafted men
on an equality with those of volunteers.

The Seventeenth Maine at Gettysburg.

A private letter, dated on the battle field at
Gettysburg, July 5, enables us to trace the
fortunes of the 18th Maine regiment to that
time. Their brigade crossed the Potomac at
Edwards Ferry, on Wednesday, July /.
marching up the left bank Of the river on the
tow path OF the Ohio and Chesapeake canal
to Point of Rocks in Maryland. Thence
they pushed northward through Frederic
City, Middletown, &c, to Emmctsburg. The
writer speaks particularly of the charming
country, through which the afternoons march
lay. Hundreds of acres of waving wheat Dor
dered the dusty highways.
Thursday morning the brigade moved for
ward to Gettysburg, nine miles. The rest lof
the corps had come up the day before. On
arriving at ten o'clock, after rapid march,
the brigade was posted on the extreme left of
the line of battle, in woods, supporting artil-
lery, which was engaged at intervals all day.
The shot and shell Of the enemy were buzzing
and booming in almost every direction; but
no casualties occurred in the Seventeenth
At about four, when Longstreet made his
grand effort to turn the left flank of the Army
of the Potomac, the Seventeenth at last went
into action at the head of their brigade, NOV
ing double quick across an open field before
them to a new position behind stone wall
The musketry fire of the enemy was hot du-
ring this advance but at too great an elevation
to do much harm. Behind the stone wall they
waited for the charge from the enemy now

narrow field. The desperate engagement
which followed is already historic. The
charging column was allowed to approach
within short range, before our men opened on
them. The next regiment on the right fell
back in disorder, carrying with them two or
three companies of the Seventeenth and ex-
posing the rest of the regiment to an emilia
ding fire. But they stood fast. The disordered
companies formed again in the rear, and the
regiment held its ground, not without heavy
ton on the brow OF little hill, which was
held until the Seventeenth was relieved. The
battle continued till dark, with varying for
tunes and closed with the sullen retreat and
discontinue of the attacking party.
On Friday, the weight of the attack fell on
the right and center. The Seventeenth was
brought up TO support artillery near the cen
ter, and remained there all day, with slight
loss. During Saturday and Sunday the men
stacked arms in a glove, and waited for orders
without laying aside their equipments day or
night. Rebel prisoners constantly affirmed
that their officers assured them they had only
Pennsylvania militia to deal with.

The fling about fighting for NEGRO liberty"
is worthy of the deepest dye of New York in
subordinationists. While 10000 negroes are
fighting to save country which has been
slow to recognize in them any right that
white man is bound to respect, it is humlia-
ting to think Portland has those claiming afln-
ity Tor common humanity, who win indulge.
towards them such heartless filings. Every
negro soldier lessons by one the number of
conscripts demanded by the government.
Every one that falls receives a fatal missile
that but for him might have slain white sol
dier. The statistics of the sanitary state of
the army at the South show that the diseases
incident to that region are eleven times more
prevalent among the white than among the
black troops. Where one negro soldier sue
cumbs to the diseases incident to the climate.
eleven white men yield to the same evil. and
yet, while Maine has several regiments of her
sons exposed to that climate and those dis
eases, we have men among us pretending re-
gard for the soldier, who would compel him
alone to meet the dangers which the negro is
so much better fitted TO withstand Com
ment is unnecessary.

Governor Seymour and the New York Mob.


Ii all the foul epithets, which have been
raked from the kennels OF English speech by
self-stylcd Democratic orators and journalists,
TO describe what they are pleased to call the
weakness, yacillation and cowardice of the
Administration at Washington, could be mar
shaded in single sentence, they would fail
adequately to describe the scandalous pusil-
lanimity of Governor Seymours speech TO
the New York mob Tuesday morning. There
were few thousand wretches, guilty Of every
crime known TO the law books, fresh from the
preparation Of murder, robbery and arson, at
that moment engaged in an actual war upon
civilization, venting their aimless, savage fury
in the destruction OF railroads, storehouses,
telcgraphs, printing presses, gas pipes, threat
enng to cut off the supply Of water from their
own city, plundering harmless passers-by and
burning orphan asylums, claiming largess of
whskey as the ransom of hotels from the torch.
And what, pray, had the Governor of New
York TO say to this roaring mob, as he stood
on the steps OF the City Hall on that July
morning? How was the majesty of the En-
pire State represented to those fierce, bewil-
dered, misguided but criminal men, women
and children-the barbarians which ciyiliza-
ton fosters in its midst?
Governor Seymour seemed TO mistake the
occasion. He took the opportunity to assure
his dear friends, the voters Of New York and
their amabe wives and innocent children. that
he desired to protect them! Good God. did
they stand in need of protection just then? is
it only over rioters that the Empire State ex-
tends her egis, and not over their victims p
He imptored them to respect the rights OF
persons and property. Implored The might
as well have implored the cruel waves OF an
Atlantic storm. And he assured them that he
had sent TO Washington a request to suspend
the draft. Governor Seymour, the Chief Mag
istrate of great State, actually told riotous
thing they asked! And the foul riot went on
and grew worse. and had to be quelled at last
as all riots must, by the resolute hand and
strong arm of authority. Life and property,
which might have been saved, paid the fearful
cost of a misstyled governors soft indecision
How can we forget that this is the very way
in which this governor. who does not gouern
but imptores, and his friends and partsans,
who complain of the incompetence of the
Washington administration, would have mis-
managed the Shareholders Rebeionl Let us
be thankful that we have not seen on a broad
er stage the exhibition of imbecity which
has resulted SO lamentably in New York.
