IHE ARCHER IN PORTLAND HARBoR-
The statement of Mr.. Bibber, one of the fish
ermen captured by Lieut.. Reed to serve as
pilot and for the sake of whatever information
he might chance TO possess about the shipping
In our harbor, presents the hazardous exploit
of the Rebel priyateers IRON new point of
view. The journal of one OF the Confederate
crew brings the Archer in sight of Portland.
The reporters OF the various newspapers
have given all the details of the chase and
capture of the cutter and schooner. Mr..
Bibbers simple yet clear and graphic narra-
tive, including the afternoon of Friday and
the following night, Oils the only chasm in the
history of the transaction. We publish it
elsewhere this morning. 1t will be observed
that Mr.. Bbber without qualification and re-
peatedly says no communication was held
with the shore while the Archer lay in the
harbor.

UNIVERSITY OF BIsuop's COLLEGE,

UNIVERSITY OF BISHOPS CoLLEGE.-The
Convocation of this University, the prnc-
pal educational institution of the Episeo-
pal Church in Canada East assembled Tues.
day, June sd. Bishops College, founded at
Lenoxvlle by the late Bishop OF Quebec, the
Right Rev. G.. J. Mountain, was Incorporated
by the Provincial Parliament twenty years
ago. Ten years since, by virtue of a charter
from the Queen, the College became Univer-
sity, with full power of comforting degrees.
Among its buildings, the chapel of st. Mark
and The newly erected College Hail are re-
markabe for their beauty. The Convocaton
sermon was preached on Wednesday by the
Rev. William Stevens Perry rector of ST.
Stephens Church in this city. Mr.. Perry
several years since performed the same service
for the College, when attending Convocation
rs Chaplain of the Bishop of New Hampshire,
on which occasion he received the dd eundem
degree of NJ A. His discourse, as we learn
from the New York Episcopal Register, was
an earnest argument for the spirituality and
depth of the Prayer-Book Worship, resulting
from the solemnity of its Scriptural modes of
expression and the pathetic associations of its
history. The sermon secured the profound
attention of large and cultivated audience,
eliciting warm expressions of thanks from
those who were present.
Mr.. William D'Oryille Doty, B. A. of Ken
yon College, Ohio, was admitted al eundem in
Bishops College. Mr.. Doty, at present resid-
ing in Portland, is member of the General
Theological Seminary, and was present at the
Conyocation as an invited guest.

Filings.

10 tHc EoHoTV Me Iress:
filings are rarely warrantable to my mind
they are seldom in good taste what is to be
uttered at all were better said in direct. plain,
unmistakable terms. A fling, ordinarily, is a
covert Tor coward, or a screen for poltroon.
In illustration: what shall be thought of the
repeated filings of the Evening Courier at the
Press?, or rather at the editor of the Press p
Are they even intended to subserve the pub
lie veal? Are they not obviously intended to
crafty private malice?
To indulge in such spleen as is thus occas-
ionally exhibited in the Courier requires very
much more skill than the writer evidently
possesses, il regard is had simply to his reputa
tation Tor sharpness. The morality Of the act
il is not necessary now to consider
/ am thankful that you have the good sense
to take no notice of these unworthy filings
and i am not sure but you had better exclude
from your columns on this account a cores
pondent who is to both papers regular
SUBSCRIBER.
PORTLAND, July 10th.
Had the foregoing come TO us from a less re-
sponsible or influential source we should prob
ably have quietly dropped it into the waste
basket, but it came from one Of the most high
minded, patriotic and influential business men
OF this community. The "ilings" to which he
aiiudes have not so much as annoyed us. II
they afford their authors the slightest satisiac-
tion or amusement, on no account would we
aoridge 1T. We have no powder TO waste upon
our country's friends-upon those engaged to
uphold the same flag that we are anxious ia
see maintained. All the blows we have to deal
are reserved for the common enemy. More
than two years since we determined to fph,
only those engaged in rebellion, or who refuse
TO aid in suppressing the rebellion, and to re
gard every man as a friend and ally who un.
conditionally stands with those who stand by
our nations flag and honor. BY that determi.
nation we still abide, nor shall we ever La
driven from it.

UNION NOMINATION
FOR GOVERNOR,
SAMUEL COM Y.
The Situation.

In each of the three great zones of the war,
we have to report substantial progress. In the
East, Lee has again been compelled to accept
the gage of battle north of the Potomac. IL
take the base with me-" he replied scornfully,
two weeks since, when some of his officers
spoke OF the distance OF the army from the
base of operations. 81 shall move where
"please regardless Of the movements OF the
army OF the Potomac" he said to resident
Of Williamsport, on crossing the river there.
He has not moved where he pleased, and the
base he takes with him is too narrow to stand
on. Lacking ammunition and with scanty
food, his 10000 veterans are brought to bay
near Williamsport by a force at least double
their own. The opposite bank of the Poto-
mac is held by our troops. Every days Skin
mishing weakens the enemy. The less haste
the better speed, has been Meade's safe motto
Recent dispatches from Tennessee announce
the occupation without strenuous resistance
of Winchester, 13 miles south of Tulahoma.
The State Of Tennessee is clear of Rebel
troops, without a struggle.
In the West, Grants gallant army is set free
by the fall of Vicksburg, and Port Hudson
must soon be ours.
1t Is only two weeks since the Chattanooga
Rebel published as the three object of the
Confederacy, these
''To drive Grant out of Mississippi,
''To invest the Yankee Capital from Mary
land,
"And TO defeat Rosecrans'
The Confederacy has failed of these three
objects simultaneously. When Mr.. Davis
visited Mississippi last winter, he said to the
Legislature at JACKSON
Vicksburg and Port Hudson are the real
points Of attack Every effort will be made
forcing the navigation of the Mississippi, of
cutting off our communications with the trans
Mississippi Department, aud of severing the
western from the eastern portion of the Con-
federacy. Let all icho hare at heart the safetg
Of the country go ,rithout delay to Vicks-
burg and Port Hudson: let them go for such
length Of time as they can spare-for thirty.
sixty, or for ninety days. Let them assist in
preserving the Mississippi river that great ar
terry OF the country, and thus conduce, MORE
THAN IN ANY OTHER WAY, to the perpetua-
ton Of the Confederacy and the success of
the cause.
So significant are the victories, which like
the long delays and partial failures must be
accredited TO the administration at Washing
ton, conducted by human, fallible hands, but
inspired by purest patriotism and now crowned
with success.

HIRAM, July s, 1863

Tothe Editor Of the Press:
About two hundred of the citizens of this
town collected last evening, upon hearing the
news of the surrender of Vicksburg and the
glorious movements of the Army of the Po-
tomac, to express their patriotism.
The musicians inspired by the good news
played most spiritedly, powder was advanta-
geously burned, while cheer upon cheer went
up for our victorious generals, for Honest
Old Abe" and for the Union.
The enthusiasm of old and young of both
sexes knew no bonds. Such outbursts of pat
riotism amply recompense the doubts Of the
past few weeks.
Copperheads are gro,cing scarce.

From New Orleans-Gen. Neal Dow taken
Prisoner.

NEW YORK, July IL.
New Orleans letters report the capture by
rebel cavalry of Gen. Neal Dow at a farm
house back OF Baton Rouge, where he was
conyalescing from a wound.
1t was generally believed at New Orleans
that an assault would be made upon Port
Hudson on the 4th. Gen. Banks had reviewed
the storming party, under the gallant Col
Birge Of the 18th Connecticut, and addressed
them in fitting terms on the arduous and noble
duty before them.
The steamer Iberville was disabled by shot
from rebel field pieces, six or eight miles be-
low Donaldsville, and another steamer was
slightly injvred. Gunboat No. came to their
assistance and drove the rebels of.
raid is reported by rebel cavalry into
Springfield Landing. They were repulsed after
4 short skirmish, but in the meantime had
carried Off some negroes and destroyed
quantity of stores.

PHILADELPHIA, July III.
The Inquirer Of this city has the following
special dispatch:
Frederick, Nd, July 10-P. MA rebel
battery near Fuukstown opened at 2 O'Clock
this afternoon on part Of Bufords and Kill
patrick's cavalry. Two rebel guns were dis
mounted and the rebels driven from the hill.
Our infantry then advanced, and when our
messenger left both sides were sharply en-
gagged. Our skirmishers were driving back
the rebel skirmishers. Lee cannot cross the
Potomac even if he had the means and clear
way before him, he is so hard pressed by
Meade. Lee must keep every man he has to
resist our attack.
The rebel Gen. jenkins was captured this
morning by Kilpatrick's cavalry.
Lieut.. Bentley, of Carriers cavalfy, escaped
from the rebels yesterday. He says that Gen.
Lees army is greatly demoralzed and suffer-
ing for provisions. The roads are blockaded
with abandoned wagons and caissons. Hun
dreds of rebels have thrown away their arms
TO enable them to escape the better. Those
rebels who have arms are short of ammunition.

reply of President Lincoln 10 the Countries
of Louisiana planters. who netitioned for au-
thority to elect Federal and state ot,;cers in
November under the existinp state constitu-
ton. The following is the reply. and Is dated
June 1o,h. ~
since receivi,o tho letter reliable informa-
tion has reached me that n respectable norton
of the Iouisiana neonIa desire tn amend tbeir
State constitution. and contemnlate holdino 4
convention for that object, This fact alone
as il seems to me. is a sufficient reason why
the general Government should not rive the
committee the authority Won seek To act nm
der the existing State constitution. I NAV
add that while / do not perceive how such a
commital can facilitate our military operations
in Louisiana. really apprehend it might be so
used as TO embarrass them.
As to an election to be held next Novem-
Der. there is abundant time without any order
or proclamation from me lust now. The peo-
pie of Louisiana shall not lackan opportunity
for a fair election for both Federal and State
officers by want of anything within my power
to give them. Your obedient servant,
A. LINCOLN.
The same correspondent says that the ques-
ton of peace is already being considered in
Cabinet circles, and that we are actually ia the
midst of a Cabinet crisis, growing out of a
proposition by Seward for the issuance of a
proclamation by the President, offering am
nesty to the people OF the South, suspendng
the liabilities of the Contiscation Act, and Of
fering full and free pardon and protection in
persons and property TO the people of the
South, excepting only the military and civil
leaders in the rebellion. Even these, Mr.. Sew
ard suggests, should be allowed their proper

Messrs, Bates and Blair favor the proprosi-
tion with certain notifications, but Stanton
and Chase violently oppose ii. Mr.. Wellcs is
