sE- The New York News says that Post
master-General Blair declared to delegation
from Baltimore that if he had vote in that
city he would not throw it for Mr. Henry

ga Leavenworth letter to the New York
Times contains details of accounts of the late
attack upon Gen. Blunt's staff and escort, 1t

formerly law partner with Gen. Butler.
sy-It is estimated there were $4,000 per-
sons present at the New Hampshire State
muster held in Manchester last week. Some

the tug of war comes, ii requires draft of six
horse power to bring them into the ranks.
~ Charlotte Cushman has paid into the
treasury of the Sanitary Commission some four
thousand dollars, and is to play in Washington,

aB-The Arch-Duke Maximilian will only
accept the crown of Mexico on certain speci-
fed conditions, among which are the free
manifestation OF the wish OF the whole people
and the cooperation Of France and England.
He now await. the fulfillment of the con-
ditions.
l-The Hutchinsons will give concerts at
Bath on Saturday afternoon and evening We
have no doubt Columbian Hall will be found
too small for the accommodation of the audi
ence. There is no concert company that has
been SO long in the field and given such gen
eral satisfaction.
GIVE learn from the Bath Times that
Messrs. Geo. NJ. Patten & Co., ars about to in
crease their facilities for carrying on their
business by adding 60 feet to their establish
ment. This is one Of the most enterprising
and reliable firms in our State, which unless
all signs and sayings fail, will make its mark
in the world.
GA Washington correspondent of the
N. y. Evening Post says, the army of the Po-
tomac, grows stronger every day, and is able
to hold the new line, even If Lee is largely re-
iniorced, and will doubtless soon show that it
can do more than that. Gen. Haleck went
down to the front Thursday evening, to hold
conference with Gen. Meade. He is back
10 his Office to-day and it is said is satisfied
with the position of the army.
rBrigadier General j. A. Garfield, Chief
Of Staff at Chattanooga and member of Con-
gress elect, telegrapheda as follows to Brigadier
General Granger at Nashville: "Arrest the
officers who surrendered at McMinnville and
have them tried for conduct in that affair.
Those who surrendered will be disgraced and
punished. Publish this dispatch in the news
papers. Notify the Bridge Guards that no

sVrWe learn from the Saco Democrat that
the sloop Eben of Bucksport, was run down
on the 9th inst, about ten miles ont from Bos-
ton, Mass, by United States gunboat. The
crew consisted Of five persons, four of whom
were saved on pieces of the wreck, and one,
Mr.. Harry CLANCY, of Wells, was lost. A. the
time the sloop was struck by the gunboat, Mr..
CLANCY was steering. His brother wa. one OF

sr The business of the day should be re-
cruitlng. All men of business should be vi
tally impressed with the fact that, however
great may be their present gains, all business
and all property really depend on our victories
in the field. 1t Is dangerous to every interest
in the country to have the war drag on at its
present rate of progress. 1t must be eonclud-
ed by the arming Of force so overwhelming
that resistance will palpaply be folly as well
as wickedness.
ga French paper speaking Of the coming
Of Mr.. Stephens, Vice President of the South
ern Coniederacy to conclude treaty with the
French Government says "at all events the
abolition of slavery must be the indispensable
condition of any recognition of the South by
European peoples and governments. This is
highly encouraging for the South, considering
that slavery, and not only slavery but the ex-
tension of slavery, is the very thing they have
been all along fighting for"
.H-It is said the greatest enthusiasm and ex
element prevailed at Dayton, Ohio, the resi-
dence of Vallandigham on the evening of the
late election. Bonfres cleaned from every
corner Of the streets, shouts for Brough were
heard in every direction, and it seemed al

immediate neighbors do not grieve to think he
will not speedily return to preach treason
among them.
sV- Mr.. WIS. Lindsey, member of Par

union; and before many years had elapsed, he
believed the old Republic would be cut up
not merely into two, but into four distinct
States" A result most earnestly desired and
