SB- The Pennington Chronicle says that
Mr.. lothian ID. Bradbury was waylaid while
on his way from Beams Corner to Chester
vile, on Friday Goth ult, and a pistol dis
charged at him. Mr.. Bradbury was formerly
resident Of Chesterylle, but now resides in
Quincy, Illinois. The person discharging the
pistol or his object in doing so, are as yet un-
known.
sB-Enlisting is now going on rapidly in
this State. In several towns and cities the
quotas are nearly filled. The high bounties
offered, with the prospect of the war being
brought speedily to a close, is inducing
large number to enlist. The Cavalry regiment
will probably be filed by the LIST of January,
and the two veteran regiments are daily re-
ceiving accessions to their membership.

SOUTH FREEpoRr, Nov. 12. 1863.

SOUTH FREEPoRT, Nov. IL, 1863.
TO the Editor Of the Press:
A new schooner, the "Hattie E. SAMPSON y
was launched yesterday from the yard of
Messrs. E. & C. II. Soule, completely rugged
and nearly ready for sea. She is beautiful
craft Of some $50 tons from the hand of Mas
ter Horace Brewer-her ornaments from the
shop of Mr.. E. Jones, of whose skill in this
line have previously spoken.
An accident occurred on this vessel last
week on Tuesday which deserves a record
The masts had both been reared and the
shears were being lowered from the foremost
when it fell with a tremendous crash with two
men at its head. One of them landed on the
deck near the after house the corner of which
was struck and seriously damaged by the fall
ling mast. The other man Mr.. Charles Har-
per from your city, was thrown over the side of
the schooner and fell between her and the two
scatiolds to the ground, some 20 or % feet
The mast was eighty feet high from the keel
son so that it is marvel that there was no
loss Of life, especially as number of men
were at work on deck. The one who came
down and landed on deck was not injured
save the jar which did not disable him. Mr..
Harper had his left arm broken, a cut on his
face and was otherwise bruised, but after the
bones were set and his wounds dressed, he was
able to write to Portland the same evening
and is said to be doing well. The mast was
raised and secured In the usual way, and no
danger was apprehendedby the Triggers, though
Master Brewer advised putting on stay lines
before removing the shears, as the mast was
very heavy and had but a short footing in the
hold. The foreman thought it was needless
as he had never found it necessary. The force
of the fall was broken by the strength of the
deck timbers. The strong beam behind the
mast was broken quite apart and the one for
ward so lifted out Of place as to break the deck
plank quite across the schooner and the mast
deeply indented and somewhat sprung by the
enormous strain upon it.
The energy and tact of the builders has
been strikingly displayed in so soon repairing
all the injured planks that the riggers could
finish their part of the work and have her full
sailed and ready for sea in seven working
days from the accident.
The new bark of some 800 tons is rapidly
progressing in the yard of Messrs. G. & G.
Bliss under the direction of Master Jane,
Brewer and is to be No. / craft. The timber
for two other vessels, one of them large
ship, is now coming into the Soues yard, but
il is not yet certain that another keel will be
laid before spring. Yours truly, C.P.

From Neic Orleans Sad Railroad accident.
New YORK, Nov. b.
The steamer Yazoo, from New Orleans 4th
inst, arrived this morning.
collision occurred on the Opelousas Rail-
road, between two trains, one of which had
stopped owing to defective engine; the 9TH
er running into it killed from twelve to six
teen of the 9th Illinois regiment, and wound
ed nearly seventy Of the same regiment, all
of whom were on the moving trail. The 9TH
er train had the 9TH Illinois regiment on board,
only two of whom, and one rebel prisoner,
were injured. The accident was occasioned
by the culpable neglect of the conductor in
not setting signals.

New YORK, Nov. Is.
Applications are frequently received by the
military authorities from rebel officers to be
released on parole, and in some cases to be set
at liberty upon taking the oath of allegiance.
The latter is not granted, except to privates
when the evidence is satisfactory that they
have been forced into the rebel service. OH
GERS are presumed to have arrayed themselves
voluntarily against the Government, and can
not now be granted the privileges of an Amer
lean citizen.
Opportunities have frequently been afforded
to the rebel surgeons in our hands to attend
to their wounded and sick, but almost in every
case have they declined, refusing to tender
their services unless paid by our Government.

She following suggestions rs TO The position

The Democracy of this county are thor
oughly organized and ready for the ap-
preaching contest. We don't want any
pandoring to mere success. We must plant
ourselves on platform with justice and
right glowing in every liue, and then abide
the consequence whatever it may be. 1t
is The duty Of the Democracy to save the
country, and to accomplish this great par
pose, We must oppose the military .evolu-
lion Of the party in power, as we'll as the
revolution ut the South. Gen. Mansfield
declared in his speech at this place, a few
days ago, that the Constitution as it is.
and the Union as it was made him smIc, >
that call revolutions had tendency to
change existing institutions y ifhe is right,
then where is the test OF loyalty, if We
have no constitution, Who can be guilty

and what are we iighting for: have al
ways thought we were fighting under an
organized government and against arcvo-
luton.
Let Us not BE tinid because bad men DC
nouncc Us as traitors. Vice ever wars
