REBELS.-A young man named Austin
Macy, OF Montgomery county, Ohio, sta
toned at Camp Dick Robinson. KY, With
bis regiment. was recently sent out on a
scouting expedition. After time he
became separated, and soon discovered a
party of Secesh, who did not notice him
Concealing himself, he fired on and sue
ceeded in killing seven of them before
they saw where he was hidden There
being no further chance Macy attempted
to escape, but unfortunately his horse
threw him, severel ly injuring, aud di>ab-
ling him. lu this way he was easily cap.
tured by the rebels, who deliberately shot
him seven times, woundiUg and mangling
him. He was still able to raise up, and
shot his eighth man 3. An end was then
put to this gallant hero by bayonetting
hlm,and his maDgled remains were thrown
into a mud hole. Macy was between II
aud % years Of age. The above partic-
ulars were obtained from Union woman,
who witnessed part Of the affair. 1t

dry goods store of Mr. Cans, "a jew"
and seized his 6ue goods. After fright
fu furry, the delicate creatures were dis

The Hon. Reve:dy johnson, South
statesman, and distinguished Senator
from Maryland, in recent letter to the
Union League of Baltimore, sald The
sole ministers Of peace at present are our
gallant officers, soldiers and sailors. Let
these be used as they may be, and the
end will soon be accomplished and let
US in pressing on the foe, not halt to crit
ie;se the conduct of the Government
Let US, OF the contrary, give 1T hearty,
Jealous support whilst she peril is upo"
US, reserving for period ofres!ored peace
whatever of censure we may n@@Ve 20 pass
On the conduct of the men who ais ad-
ministering it." When Mr.. Johnson,
with sYmpathies and associations in the
past that might have inclined less patri-
otc men to the Southern cause, can af-
ford to speak such brave aud cheering
words, what will be though: of Northern
men, who have lived all their lives in
Northern States, who boast that their ties
of home, and family, aud friendship, and
association, are all 10 the North, and yet,
who, in their devotion to slavery aud re,
bellion, endeavor to destroy the Govern
ment which protects them!

NOT PLEASED WITH CONNECTICUT
The peace" Democrats hoped to carry
Connecticut with their favorte Seymour,
(who has been Governor heretofore,) and
were never so disappointed. 1t seems
by the following, from a Richmond Dis
patch, that the Rebels, also, don't like
it:
The Connecticut election has gone
against the Democrats-The import
ance Of this defeat cannCt well be exagger
ated, for, if the resul! had been otherwise,

The Rebels are so near exhausted that
hope they have Could they get the
Government to recall all its forces, give
up ali it has recovered, and thus save the
Rebels tune to recruit, raise crops, and
Import all the arms and amunition from
Europe they need, the Rebels hoped Gin
the midst of a Presidential canvassl to
secure Secessa as an independent power,
or tie make Slavery the ruling element in
the old Union This was their 'hope,'
which cruel Connecticut has blasted, and
the Rebels have either to conquer or be
cunquered.

Tothc Editor Of the Press:
Are those who travel between Portland and
New York aware that the steamers running
on that route have good nice state-rooms, that
a table equal TO the best hotels of our cities is
spread for all the passengers and all for only
five dollars? 1t was my good fortune to take
passage in the chesapeake" Captain Isaac
Willatts, who is not only brave man and a
very safe and successful sailor, but also one
who has the happy faculty of making himself
agreeable, and those around him social and
happy. When the weather is pleasant there is
no way Of getting from one OF the above
named cities to the other so comfortably, so
PLEASANTLY and withal at SO little expense as
Dy uns Hne oil steamers. L notice in New
York, that the steamer Potomac which has
been running between New York and New
Orleans is being thoroughly overhauled, newly
painted and put IN complete order aud is to
run in connection with the Chesapeake.

I'd division of the 1st corps is in the extreme
advance OF this army and as ready to fight
now as when, on the bloody fields of Gettys-
burg where this division and the whole corps
covered themselves with glory. We have but
one Maine regiment in this corps and that Is
the 10th. Col. G. w. Tildan is now prisoner
~ .'ie iiahus OF the rebels, he having nobly re-
fused tne parole offered by them. J. b. Bax-
ter Of Gorham, Asst Sorgeon Of the regiment

the regiment IT being mistake about his being
captured. captain Lowell of Westbrook is
supposed TO have died from the effects of the
severe wound he received, but little hone i
had that he is alive.
The 18th suffered very severely at Gettys-
burg in killed, wounded and prisoners and are
now drawing subsistence for only loe enlisted
men.
