Tho Burne. House Nomination.

The Boston Herald, loyal democratic pa
per, whose editor two years since was the
democratic candidate for 1t. Governor Of Mas
sachusetts, las but little respect for the ere
spectacle assembly Of masculine but garru-
lous old-lady politicians that recently met in
private room at the Burnet House, at Gin
clnnati, and nominated Gen. Mcclellan for
their file-leader in the next presidential CAM
paign. The Herald expresses its disgust at
that proceeding andits views generally, as fol-
lows:
The march of freedom Is onward and can
not be stayed. The people will bury down
deep any and all attempts to foist upon the
nation a set OF men who have once betrayed
them and who are now seeking to destroy
their liberties. They may bring forward Gen.
Mcclellan or any other General to represent
them, and he will be defeated and over
whelmed, and the party with him. There is
only one way for the Democracy TO succeed
in the next Presidential contest, and that is,
to place the party upon war footing and
nominate sound war Democrat for Presi-
dent. But this they will not do, for there are
too many of the old Breckenridge leaders
elected delegates 10 the National Convention.
We shall keep watch of these gentlemen, and
when the time comes take our stand with that
party which in our judgment is nearest right,
and which will put down secessionists and dis.
unionists North and South.

A special dispatch TO the Democrat, dated

The rebel army in Texas was generally at
posts on the outskirts of the State Kirby
Smith commanded the troops in Texas. Gen.
Steele is at Dakinyille, seven miles north of
the Red river near the State line, with a small
force. Rebel pickets are at the crossing Of the
river and line the road. Price is eighteen
miles south OF Washington with 5000 or 1000
men. The entire force OF the enemy under
Marnaduke, Shelby and Cabellare near him.
Quantrell has been In Texas four weeks. His
command Of 400 men are distributed In de-
tachments in various counties ia Northwestern

spies on the people, hold the country in sub
lection, arrest deserters, kill suspected Union
,nen, and plumber Unfortunately.
The Union sentiment In the State is strong
and would be expressed in immediate political
action, If the people could be protected by the
Union army. A large number OF young men
are in the bush, awaiting the appearance of
the Federal forces. The people are held in
subsection only by such parties as that of
Quantrell in each county.

NEW YORK, Dec. II.
A special dispatch TO the Herald, dated Rut-
ledge, Tenn. 18th, has the following:
Between two and three o'clock this after
noon the forces Of Longstreet turned out and
attacked our pursuing column of cavalry un-
der Gen. Shackelford. A line of battle was
formed at Bear Station, on the Cumberland
Gap and the Morristown road, and fight en-
sued which lasted until nightfall, when the
rebels had succeeded In driving us about half
a mile. Colonies Woolford, Graham, Foster
and others were engaged. The nusketry fire
was very heavy. Our loss so far as l can as
certain, is about seventy-fvc. We have tax
en- some prisoners belonging TO the rebel Gen.
Grache's brigade. Tho whole movement was
made with well contrived plan to cut off and
capture Gen. Shackelford and his command,
and heavy force of rebel cavalry moved down
the left bank of the Holston River with the
intention OF crossing at kelly's Ford and com
ing in his rear. This portion OF the pro-
gramme was checked. The rebels fired across
the river with artillery upon the brigade, but
with little effect We expect a considerable
fight tomorrow"

kENNEBUNK, Dec. 20. 1865.
Toths Editor Of the Press;
Capt. Hammond Curtis OF this place, who
was on board OF the Chesapeake at the time
of her capture, states fact which it may be of
some importance to have known, which is as
follows: A passenger calling himself Os-
borne, after learning from him that he had sold
his vessel in New York and was returning
home, remarked that he also had sold his, and
was returning TO st. John where he belonged.
Now this may or may not be true; but after
circumstances led Capt. Curtis to believe that
1t was not, and that he was complotter with
the pirates IN their nelarious scheme. The
first thing he noticed was, that as soon as they
got possession they came down TO him to
know how they should steer, aud he told them
\. T., and he noticed by the compass below
that she was kept that course. There were
other familiar transactions which indicated 4
in st. John, fand Curtis says he saw him there)
it would OF course be known there Whether be
sold his vessel in New York or not. II 1t
should appear that he did not, then he would
be identified as one Of the villains, although
pretending that he vas forced to act as pilot.
If citizens of st. John are permitted 10 engage
III such business as this without being called
10 the bar of justice, there may be future IN
which the adjacent dominlons Of John Bull
may have cause to repent. Yours, l..

The Return of the Agawam.

When the startling news reached this city
on Wednesday last week, that the Chesapeake
had been captured by pirates who went on
board at New York for the purpose, our au :
thorities began to look around at once to see
what We had to send in pursuit of her. The
Agawam, a new gunboat, built to run on the
Southern rivers, was the only available boat in
our harbor and she was promptly got in read
mess, and coal, provisions, guns and amuni-
ton put on board. Capt. Webster, Of the u.
s. Cutter Dobbin, took command, and with
several of his crew and about eighty soldiers
from Camp Berry, numbering some one humid
red and flty-two men In all, left our harbor
In pursuit Of the Chesapeake, about eleven
o'clock on Thursday.
The weather was extremely cold and it
commenced blowing almost hurricane. 1t
was found that the coal was consuming more
rapidly than was expected, and 1t became
necessary to put into Rockland to get a sup
ply. She took in hundred tons there and on
Sunday morning, aiter having made several
Intellectual attempts, put to sea. She crulsed
along the coast until she came TO Cape Sable,
when the fog was SO thick that nothing could
be seen beyond the bows of the boat, and 1t
became necessary TO come to an anchor. The
wind commenced blowing gale and il was
found that her anchors would not hold her,
and after losing two Of them, with some forty
five fathoms Of cable, she was put head to the
wind and succeeded In making this port in
about twenty-four hours, contrary to the ex-
pectations OF nearly all on board.
The Agawam arrived In our harbor about
two o'clock yesterday morning, having been
absent within few hours Of week, during
which time there was perpetual storm or
blow. The Agawam, although not designed
for sea boat, behaved well. The machinery
worked admirably, and il the weather had
been as favorable as it was the week before,
there would have been no difficulty. Capt. J.
+. Harrison was in command of the soldiers
nearly all Of whom were very sea-sick and
suffered much from the cold, yet they bore it
heroically. Although success did not crown
the effort, great credit is due Capt. Webster
and others associated with him Tor their persc.
verence under the most discouraglng circum.
stances.

A CHRISTMAS DINNER FOR THE SOLDIERS.
"A large number Of Maine soldiers who were
wounded in the late battles of the Army OF
the Potomac are now at Army Square Hospi-
tai, Washington. 1t was contemplated by the
friends Of the soldiers to send them a Thanks
giving dinner; but, on account of the weather
it was postponed, and q Christmas dinner is
now proposed.
The Chaplin OF this Hospital, together with
Mr.. Geo. Wilson and his lady, have already
done all in their power to aid and comfort the
sick and wounded men from this section. We
hope our friends in this vicinity will respond
to this call. The number of wounded men
now at this hospital is about six hundred.
Poultry, uncooked, dry and green apples,
may be sent to Messrs. Drake and Davis, Con-
gress street. M;nee and apple pies, with jeilies
and hard cakes, may be sent to Barnum's,
Temple street. 1t is important that these
articles be sent In as early as Monday, Dec.
2lst, so as to be packed in the afternoon, to
leave by Express next morning. Those who
may find 1t more convenient to contribute
money, may leave it with Mr.. Rich, Superin-
tendant Merchants Exchange, and it will be
invested in poultry.
