For the Campaign.

We this week send our Prospectus OF the
Campaign Journal to some Of our subscrib-
srs hoping thcy will SEQ the importance Of
using their cndeayors to extend, at least dur
ing the coming canvass, the circulation Of
tho only paper published in this county that
supports the Government and the war. We
shall devote just as much time and expense
10 tho columns for list Of Eve hundred as
wo shall for list Of ono thousand; but,
bearing in mind that the influence for good
or evil which paper has, is according to the
number reached, the friends Of tho Union
can not fail to perceive that some response
bility may rest with them.
There is approaching q severe contest in
this State, and the sooner loyal men under
stand tho work to DO done, the better it will
DO for tho cause. In this county especially
will the canvass be close, and it will require
the utmost effort to stem tho tide OF organ
i.ed sympashizers with treason. and atone
for the disorganiziug apple thrown into the
assembly. OF this we shall have more to
say next week, and for tho present. only ask
our friends who receive our circular and
those who do not, to interest themselves to
send us q large list Of subscribers for their
benefit and for ours.

Fitzpatrick VS.. Biddeford.

At tho term Of the Supreme Judicial Court
just closed at Alfred, tho action Of Capt
Bradbury Gilpatrick vs.. tho City Of Bidde
ford, wherein the plaintiff sought to recover
damages for injuries sustained by him by
reason of an alleged defect in Pike street,
was tried and decided IN favor Of tho city
Tho fact that jurics are inclined as general
thing, to favor individuals as against towns
and cities, made tho matter look rather du.
bious for tho city. and great. interest was
manifested in the result.
Err. Wiggin and T. NJ. Hayes were the
counsel for the Plaintiff, and Hon. John NJ.
Goodwin and L. T. Mason, Esq, conducted
tho case for the city.
Mr.. Goodwin managed tho defence in a
most thorough and ingenious manner, and in
On argument Of thrco hours in length showed
himself TO DO perfect master Of the situa.
ton.
His construction OF tho law was able and
ingenious and seems TO have commended itself
to the attention Of tho court, notwithstand.
ing the novelty Of several Of the positions
taken, as being sound.
Tho jury saw the matter in tho same light
and the result is that tho city goes "scott
freo."
We speak Of this matter moro particular
ly on account Of tho proncness Of juries to
find tho cities guilty in almost every instance,
and because our city has suffered 50 unmer-
cifully In times past. We express no opin.
ion as to tho morris Of tho matter further
than to say that tho plaintiff presented
much stronger case, than many have who
have obtained o favorable verdict.

The Enrolment.

We give below tho section Of tho Enroll
ment Act providing for the punishment Of
any person who shall resist the draft, or
counsel resistance to the same, or who shall
"obstruct any officer in the performance OF
my service in relation thereto" II is anus.
ipg to 200 how tho scccsh in this city try to
spite the officers in the performance Of their
duties. A ono horse grocery dealer refuses
to sivo his ago, and his son who knows but
little moro than his father, on the principle
"that 90 crows the old cock 80 crows the
young one," forgets his age. Several she
copporhcads forget their husbands name |!
These officers are instructed to write down all
answers that arc returned and the treatment
they receive. and wo understand Capt.
Doughty is determined to make some exam
pies Of those who have an itching for dem
ocratic martyrdom. A refusal to give tho
required information to enrolling officers is
considered an construction" within the mean
ing and intent Of the law.
Sect. IS. And DO 1t further enacted. That
IL any person shall resist any draft Of men
enrolled under this act into the service Of
tho United States, or shall counsel or aid
any person TO resist any such draft; or shall
nssault or obstruct any officer in making
such draft, or in the performance Of any
service in relation thereto, or shall counsel
any person TO assault or obstruct any such
officer, or shall counsel any drafted men not
10 appear at tho place Of rendezvous, or viii.
fully disuade them from the performance OF
military duty a. required BY law, such per-
son shall DO subjected 10 summary arrest by
the Provost Marshal. and shall DO forthwith
delivered b. tho civil authorities, and upon
conviction thereof. DO punished by fine not
exceeding Eve hundred dollars. or BY impris-
onment not exceeding two years, or BY both
said punishments.

Fair Criticism.

Tho Journal OF Commerce, democratic
paper published in New York, has no faith
in tho Administration, denounces tho meu
who compose 1t, and declares its purpose tc
DO every thing in its power to secure the cleo
ton Of others in their places. But while
entertaining these opinions which it has O
right to do, it acknowledges the necessity Of
supporting the policy which the Government
has adopted for the overthrow Of tho rebel
lion which threatens it with destruction
Speaking against peace propositions 1t says
"wc protest against oil such suggestions.
We call on conservative men in all parts Of
the land 10 raise their poices against epery pro-
posal for peace and disunion. 1t is the time
when lofty patriotism demands the greatest
sacrifices when the American heart must bo
reused to tho noblcst actions. We know
that the future Is dark with the leadership
which we have, and must have; but we know
that the true, the only principle o. action no,c
is firm, untodrering support of the Constiiu.
lion and the constitutional authorities; and IL
the people speak out in their might to-day,
their voice will DO heard, and tho war will
yet be made to result in tho overthrow oil
rebellion, while tho peaceful contents Of the
ballot.box will result in the everlasting do
molition Of the radicalism which has plunged
us into this new abyss of sorrow. Every en-
ergy must now DO strengthened and oxcrted.
What piH you do If you think Of disunion :
Do you know what will become Of Missouri.
of brave, noble, faithful, old Kentucky, Of
Maryland, OF Washington itself? II you
could do nothing more than stand on the do.
fensive and hold your lines from the Atlantic
to the Pacific against the host Of our enemies
for two years, until we can place stronger
Administration in power, you must do that.
But you must do moro than that. IL is not
a party war, IL is not a radical ,oar IL is not
an abolition rar, strong as tho efforts have
been of the radical party, to mako 1t such
IL is your eountry's ioar, and The peace to be
pon must be Union peace. That and that
alone must be the aim, the desire, the uo,D Of
every true man."

Loss Of o aunboat.

WASHINGTON, Juno 5th.
The official report OF the sinking Of the gun
boat Cincinnati In attempting 10 pass the Vicks
burg batteries Is received. The Lieut.. Comman-
ding after giving an account Of The start &c.
says: :.
When abreast Of our pontoon and rounding
too ball entered the magazine and she COM
menced sinking rapidly. Shortly afterwards
the starboard tiller was carried away. Before
and after this the enemy fired with great accu.
racy, hitting us nearly every time. We were
especially annoyed by plunging shots from the
hills, and the 8'inch rihed and lO.inch smooth
bore did Us much damage. The shots were en-
tirely through our protection Of hay and wood,
and now finding that the vessel would sink I
ran her up the stream rs near tho right hand
shore as our damaged steering apparatus would
permit. About ten minutes before she sunk We
ran close In, got out our plank and put the
wounded ashore. We also got hawser out to
make fast to tree to hold her until she sank.
Unfortunately the men ashore LEFT the hawscr
without making Il fast, the enemy still firing,
and the boat commenced drifting out. l sung
out to tho men to swim ashore, thinking We
were In deeper water, as was reported. than wc
were. suppose about fifteen wcro drowned,
twenty Ave killed and wounded and one prob
ably taken prisoner. This will sum up the to-
tai loss.
