Gen. Shepley and his Assailants.

7othe Editor Of the Press:
The patriotic words of Gen. Shepley at the
City Hall the other evening, cause a fearful
kissing among the copperheads. This was ex-
pected by those who knew with what malgni-
ty they had watched his course, and that they
only waited for I'm opportunity to attack him
in hopes to destroy the effect his example was
having upon his old political associates His
speech afforded that opportunity, and to Judge
of the avidity with which it is improved, one
has only to look over the columns Of the Adj
vertiser and Argus. What appears in the
former paper few read whose good opinion is
worth having, and what is given in the latter
in the nature Of fair criticism, is of no conse-
quence, for the speech in that regard will take
care of itself. But in its issue of the 10Th. is
an article that am bound to notice. 1t is
entitled "Brigadier General Shepley, Military
Governor of Louisiana" and occupies column
and a half Of the editorial portion of the paper,
although II was not written by the editor, but
by some female who has striven to unsex her
self in order to make an infamous attack upon
the honesty of the General as soon as he had
left the city to resume his official duties. The
article is spitefu it is true, but where il is con-
fined to comments on the speech, so weak that
the display Of venom is simply ridiculous. At
the conclusion, however, is the following pas
sage, which was intended, suppose, as the
sting concealed in the tail of the viper: "When
Gen. Shepley can furnish similar evidence of
devoted patriotism, his efforts in opposition to
the Democratic party will be entitled to the
merit of observation-disclosures. For nearly twenty
centuries the jingle of thirty pieces of silver
has been the music of betrayal. mo cause"
or motive but country and Union! What
means the reported nagnifcence of the Gov
ernorship at New Orleans-the splendid house
the sumptuous fare--men servants and maid
servants, and the neighing of the horses?"
This is the wind up of an article which does
little more than reiterate that the speech was
'jesuitical'-and at any rate shows the writer
TO be an adept in that science Too cunning
to assert that which is utterly false, and should
consign her to the backing stool, she safely
attains her object by an insinuation--which is
inserted in the editorial columns of the Argus
without comment Or qualification.
have been Democrat of twenty years
standing. and claim to know somewhat of the
meaning of that word. If there is anything
in the Generals speech which can be construed
into opposition to the Democratic party" as

John T. Gilman. Esq. of Portland,


su- The Union rally at Bath, on Tuesday
evening, was decided success. Notwith-
standing the stormy weather the body of Co
lumbar Hall was densely packed with men,
and the gallery was graced with mauy ladies'.
Hon. d. c. Magoun occupied the chair, and
introducedas the speaker of the evening John
T. Gilman, of this city, who was greeted with
general applause. Mr.. Gilman, as we learn
from the Times, held the undivided attention
of the entire audience for over two hours,
during which he presented in an able and at
traetive manner the questions involved in the
present contest, the relation Of the true citizen
TO the government. and the duty which the
present hour demands Of every one who would
be just TO himself faithful to his country, and
true to his God. The address was listened to
with the deepest interest, and frequently ap-
plauded."

Camp Meeting at Kennebunk.
CAMP GROUND, KENSEBUNK,

wednesday, Al3. 10Th, 1863 AZ
The weather thus far this week has proved
rather unfavorable to the meeting. Still, how
ever, the time has been very proitably en-
joyed. When too wet for public service at
the stand" meetings have been in constant
session in the tents, so that God has been
praised, and the hearts of his believing chill
dren encouraged.
Tuesday morning Rev. Henry III. Martin
delivered the first sermon, from John A: 81
=" Say not four months and then cometh the
harvest, &C." 1t was a discourse well adapted
to the occasion, and enforcing the great prac-
tical truth of our need to labor assiduously in
the cause of God. He spoke especially of the
trust which God has committed to the church
OF laboring for the salvation of men, and of
the success which may be expected to imme-
didtely follow earnest efforts. Rev. c. King,
of Gorham, followed with impressive and APP
propriate remarks. Rev. Mr.. Bailey followed
with concluding remarks, when the Presiding
Elder, DR.. Webber, closed the morning SER
vices.
In the afternoon the people listened with
deep attention to sermon from Rev. VIM S.
Jones, of Goodwins Mills. Jesus and Saliva
ton was his theme, drawn from Matthew /
q. Thou shalt call his name Jesus, for he
shall save his people from their SINS"
Evening services were held in three different
tents, Rev. r. Atkinson preaching in Chestnut
Street Church tent, from Isaiah As: 10, H.
Rev. John Collins in the Augusta tent, from
the 5lst Psalm. Rev. j. True in the Bidde-
ford tent, from LIST Timothy, 6: g.
To-day it has been excessively rainy. No
meeti2gs at the stand, but prayer meetings in
the tents. Some thirty tents are on the
ground. Yours, o. NC.
