~ The Montreal Witness says "two cleo
lions in England, one at Tamworth, the other
at Coventry, have resulted unfavorably to the
Ministry. Mr.. Cowper, step-son of Lord
Palmerston, has been defeated at the former
place, and Mr.. Arthur Peel at the latter"
sERecruiting for the Second Maine Cav
airy is progressing finely. There is every
prospect Of its being filed up within the next
two months. A good opportunity for those
who prefer horseback riding to going on foot,
to ride all they want to at Uncle Sans ex-
pense.
E-The leading Journals in Paris have
been much affected by the course of England
on the question of the recognition ofthe South
Those who were favorable to Davis now sing
small, while those who have been friendly to
us are triumphant and assert that now recog-
milton Is impossible. The rebels in Paris are
very respondent.
The Machas Union says the Pembroke
Iron Co., are having built at Kennebunk
steamer intended for the route between Penn
broke and Boston. She is nearly or quite 500
tons burden and strongly built. Capt. Geo.
Small of Pembroke, is to command her. Capt
Small is ship-m ,ster of long experience, and
will no doubt succeed in his new enterprise
rThe only crumb of comfort afforded
the copperheads in the late elections is in
New Jersey, where they hold on with ma
jority greatly reduced. 1t is fitting that the
only State in the Union that lives by "tricks
upon travelers"-by taking toll from all who
pass over her territory-should adhere to the
copperhead cause.
ky- In South Boston on Tuesday last, says
the Journal, the following was attached to a
clean Republican ticket: "To all adopted cit
liens. am Democrat and Catholic, but
am bound to support the Government. l
cannot vote for Copperhead, therefore can
not vote the Democratic ticket. God save
the Union"
Gc"This war will annihiate any leader, or
party, or institution that stands in the way"
So said Gen. Sickles in his serenade speech,
and truer words were never uttered. Niagara
is not whit more resistless than the sweep
ing torrent of patriotism which this war has
set in motion. Whatever opposes it-polti-
clan, party, slavery, or what not--will go
is under the battle flag.-lNew York Times.
~ Business 10 Pembroke, as we learn
from the Eastport Sentinel, is unusually brisk
The capacity of the Iron Works has been
largely increased, and its employees are now
reckoned by hundreds. There are also some
four or five vessels on the stocks. The Sons
of Temperance and Masons are erecting a
two story building in which halls are to be
finished for their use.
W- The San Jose Il alifornia) Mercury
says that city has made big jump ahead in
the path of progress during the past summer.
1t has now in process Of construction two
new churches. Other buildings have been
erected, and gas has been introduced to ilu-
inmate the dwellings. Think OF what dozen
years have done for the Pacific coast; more
than was done on the Atlantic coast in CEN
fury.
sH- The ex-Colector now in temporary
charge Of the Argus, begs to inform us that
the Gen. Thomas who has gone South to Or
ganize negro regiments is not the Gen. Thorn
as who has succeeded Gen. Rosecrans. He
must be very verdant to suppose we thought
he was. The point we made was that he was
an old lifelong democratic STAKEHOLDER = the
Adjutant General for the u. s., and we men,
toned the fact as significant evidence that
the world moves.
sV-It is known that in recruiting negro
regiments among the slaves Of Maryland, the
money paid as bounty to the master was
that received as communication under the
CONSUMPTION law. The New York World re-
Gently complained of this because consider
able number of the combinations have been
paid by democrats. and that paper deemed it
"rather severe joke upon democrats that
they should be represented in the field by an
enfranchised negro.'
GY-It takes literally 'hard-shell" divine
from "out West" to defend slavery on the
principle of the golden rule. Taking this
rule for his text, Matthew vii. Is: Therefore,
allthings whatsoever We would that men should
do to you, do you even so to them," he says,
1--WE do not wish negroes should free us, so
under the precept, or by the precept, we are not
bound to free them. 1t is only what we wish
others should do unto us, that we are comman-
ded to do unto them. The precept applies
only to reciprocal duties and none else"
sH- The Argus-wlich seems for the last
few days to have sunkcn even deeper than u.s.
ual in treason and infamy - assails every old
democratic General who now supports the
government policy for prosecuting the war
and putting down rebellion, by intimating
that they have all been purchased Nth green
backs. The man-the unprincipled knave-
who will intimate such charge, proves HIM
self as wanting in patriotism as ever Floyd
was in moral honesty.
s1-The live business man who replenisles
often and sells at small profit, always advertises
literally. His doctrine is that large sales and
quick turns pay the best; adopting Franklin's
motto, or somebody's else, that nimble six-
pence is better than slow shilling. Those
who are about TO make purchases should look
over the list of late advertisements found in
the paper that has the largest circulation, and
they will learn where they can purchase goods
of tho best quality and latest style at the
lowest prices.
