WARM WEATHER AND ITS ErrEcrs.-Many
people, especially ladies, complain at this sea-
son ofthe year OF general weakness or debility.
The use of Speer's Sambuci wine prevents this.
Tho wine Is said to have Almost wonderful effect
in giving strength, viCor and tone to the whole
system; 1t is EXTENSIVELY used by ladies nursing
or about to nurse infants. The wine is not

War WITH EsGLASD.-Therc has been, ever
since the war commenced, o fevcrish anxiety
lest England should make pretext for q war
with this country, and there is no doubt but
that the rebels based their hopes Of indepen-
dence upon this condition. England has scri-
ously threatened US on several occasions, and
had We had IN Administration less wise and
forbearing, war between the two countries must
have taken place. While the English aristoc-
racy have INFORMALLY been opposed to us, the
laboring people have been equally united in our
favor. and to this fact may perhaps, be attrib-
uted the success of our cause in England. The
London Times hitherto so fcrocious against US,
has stacked ship" and seems to be wearing
in another direction rs will be seen from the
following:
"a good many words may pass" says the
Times, "without leading to blows, and rs we
are confident that neither Englishmen nor Amer
leans have the least wish TO 60 to war with each
other, we look forward without mistrust to the
mutual forbearance on the part Of their Gov
eminent, which Mr.. Adams so wisely inyokes.
We must submit to certain interruptions in our
trade in difference to the rights of belligerent.
The Americans must tolerate some shortcom-
ings on our part, in consideration of the diff
culties of neutral. We can assure them, IL they
need the assurance, that q single violation OF
our neutrality would never occur without the
regret OF the Government and the depreciation
of the public. but such offences cannot be easily
prevented"

REBEL THREArs.-TheR Richmond papers print
leading articles indicating the intention Of the
rebel leaders to carry the war into the Free
States. The Enquirer, protesting to consider
Vicksburg safe, declares that IL it fall, the dis
aster will soon be forgotten in more momentous
events, and proceeds to prophesy that the North
will soon receive blow more brilliant in de-
sign and more serious In consequence, than any
that have been dealt since the beginning OF the
war. The Examiner Of the 2lst inst. says:
"Since the first battle of Manassas, the South
ern army has never had so evident an opportu-
nifty to gain victory. With oil the glorious
battles we have not yet recovered a single lost
city, or delivered any subjugated State from
the thrall of the invader. II we can ever do
such thing, we must hope to do 1t shortly,
for We shall never behold our foe so weak again.
From the first day, the only reasonable hope
Of the Confederacy has been the transfer OF hos
tilites to the enemy's territory. II wo cannot
do that, the progress of invasion, however slow.
must, after time, overwhelm us. No treaty
of peace is possible, save that signed on the en-
emy's soil, and IL our armies can ever go there
at all, the time is at hand when they will do 81"

following:

tied Craze.
We aro not officially informed to tho con.
trary, and therefore take for granted that at
this terrible threat those who knew Mr..
Smiths courage quailed in fear, and tho dis
tressed look Of tho members showed palmer
than words could tell, the terror his words
had inspired about that "mcrited grave. ~
We hope Mr.. Smith will not do tit
wouldn't look pretty.
Falstaff was almost as courageous, albeit
somewhat more profane:

A Home Subject.

A ruler Of IN ancient municipality con-
ceived tho idea that his domains were suiii'
cicnt for the support Of his subjects, and that
it would DO for their good to exclude all Tor
eign intercourse, and thereby increase their
prosperity by preventing competition; 50 he
ISSUED an cdict closing his gates that no person
or thing should have ingress or cgresS. The
result of his economy only need DO known to

the demand no longer existed, the arts, ever
sensitive, languishcd for the want Of that
stimulus which is acquired only by associa.
tions, and the people taught to provide for
home consumption merely, and in the absence
Of competition, became cnervated and nerve
less; Incidence took the place Of industry,
Poverty, the place Of thrift, and, the sequel

pie degenerated, 80 waned their power until

There are but few places in New England,
certainly none in Maine, that offer greater
inducements to men Of capital, or energetic
business men, who wish to employ their mon

they are with ample communication with
the largo markets by rail or by vessel, with
unlimited water power for all manufacturing
purposes, building materials Of brick. gran.

in the interior to make living cheap, with
an adult population previous to the war con
stantly increasing; and with q disposition on
the part Of our men of wealth and influence to
encourage new corners, there is no reason
why business men may not find here ample
field for the employment Of their skill and
industry.
Let us regard it as duty We owe to tho

Dissolution OF Parties.

Tho Portland Courier Of Saturday con-
tanned an editorial under the above caption,
including views we were surprised to see,
but none more than the following:
and to-day the great repub-
lican party Of the nation has dissolved and
new relations arc being formed on broad
basis, 30 liberal as to embrace all true pat
riots within the territory Of the U. States"
Surely, daily papers must have news week
ly papers cannot possess! Bro. Hall, your
telegram about the dissolution OF the repub'
lican party was canard and an egregious
one ut that. It is not so. The time has
not vet arrived for the abandonment Of our
political organization, and it will only come
when its members are convinced that its
principles are not equal to the emergency,
and that new organization can better ac-
complish the demands of the time.
II the contingencies just enumerated are
upon us, the suggestions Of the Courier de-
mandcd attention. Lot US see. The issues
presented to the people and the principles
they Endorsed in 1860, were these: The
Union must DO preserved, State rights must
DO maintained. Normal conditions of the
territories is that Of freedom, Opposition to
the African slave trade, Revenue and immi-
grafton systems, and Pacific railroad. There
is not an issue then so plainly stated, that is
not intensified by the condition in which we
find ourselves. How are we to meet the In
creased responsibilities thrust upon us,-by
giving up the very organization and discipline
through which the preservation of the Union
was secured? Tho patriotic record Of the
republican party is too deeply engraved in
The hearts of its defenders, to DO lightly
thrown aside. What sacrifices il has made
to preserve the integrity Of tho nation, how
faithfully it has kept its union pledges. the
slain Of many bloody battle field, and
graves made by this democratic Shareholders
rebellion, alone can family tell. For oursclS
and our children We wish no better proof IL
the years to come that our loyalty to the
government was above suspicion, than that
our adherence to republican principles was
unqucstioncd.
But we did not intend to enter upon dis
cussion Of subject that has no prominence
as question Of policy. We entirely mis-.
take tho object Of the call for u Union Con-
vcntion, if the views of the Courier are cor.
rect. Tho Convention has been called for
the purpose OF uniting during the present
emergency, the efforts OF all men who prefer
country to party in supporting the only issue
now before the people, which is simply the
integrity Of these United States. None but
the Courier proposes to dissolve the only
party which, as party, supports the govern
ment.

Destruction OF WRrrnnton md q Strong
Rebel F0rtincntion.

WASHINGTON, May 20.
Acting Rear Admiral Porter. In dispatch
from the Yazoo River, dated the 18th, says
"a few days since, the Mound City, Lieut..
Commanding Byron Wilson, came up as far as
Warrenton to reconnoitre and sec what guns
there were likely to annoy our Transports.
The rebels have been engaged for some months
In building n strong casemate water battery,
intending to mount eight l0.inch guns In it,
This work was built with cotton bales, covered
with logs. the logs covered with railroad iron,
and the whole covered with earth. On ap-
preaching the works, Lieut.. Wilson sent party
on shore TO reconnoitre. On climbing up the
easements to look In. the party discovered that
accompany of artillerists had taken refuge there,
surprising themselves perfectly secure. Our
men fired their revolvers into the crowd, and
warned the vessel that the rebels were about
Wilson then commenced Smelling the fort, and
in short time the whole work was destroyed.
Thus ended in the space OF an hour, a fort
which It had taken the rebels five months to
build, working mostly day and night. pro-
cecded to Warrenton this morning to be certain
that the work was thoroughly destroyed. II
required nothing moro to be done to It, the
Mound City having finished 1t. The rebels set
all the houses containing their stores on fire rs
the gunboats approached, and what they left
ordered to be destroyed. Warrenton had been
troublesome place and merited Its fate"
