sr David Austin, well known auctioneer
in New York, eighty years of age, has at last
been knocked off to an unrelenting bidder
death. Going, going, gone.
sr Especial care shall be taken to avoid
such mistakes in the direction of our papers
as that referred to by our Biddeford friend
We thank him for calling our attention to it.
LEA company of apitalists-Yankees no
doubt as tits just like them-are about to visit
Port Royal harbor with view of selecting a
site for a city, as we learn from the New
South.
gfA city contemporary tells Of the won
dcriul success Of the New York World. One
of the latest indications Of its success is the
great reduction in size to which it has been
| subjected.
gg- The troops that were withdrawn from
the Army of the Potomac to put down riot
in New York, that ought to have been sup
pressed by troops called out by Gov. Seymour,
have been ordered back. Their good conduct
during their tarry in the Metropolis called for
the thanks of Gen. Dix.
sr Charles H. Carleton was found dead in
wood-shed in the rear OF a groggery, on
Liberty Street, in Biddeford, on Sunday last.
The Biddeford Journal considers it rum
murder. Carleton, two years ago, was young
man of good habits and prospects, but rum
has been his ruin.

John Robb lbrothers) and Harris Sprague, us
we learn from the st. Croix Herald, were
drowned on Wednesday of last week, in cross
in crossing from Alexander to Baileyville on

y-The leading copperhead organ of this
city speaks in terms Of commentator of Fitz
John Porter, and refers to him as a General in
retirement. Porter was cashered and barely
escaped execution as traitor at the hands of
his peers-brother officers at West Pont--yet
the copperheads exalt him while denouncing
Butler and Shepley
% Brig. Gen. Robert Anderson, now in
command at Fort Adams, Newport, finds it
necessary to seek withdrawal from active SER
vice, having never fully recovered from his
sufierings and deprivations at the lombard
ment of Sumter. Gen. Andersons fidelity
under the most disheartening circumstances,
will be remembered in our countrys history.
% Rosecrans was attacked by twice his
own force, numerically, in the recent battle
the enemy choosing the time and place to bring
on the fight, and succeeded in so Gripping the
enemy as that the attack was not renewed
This, under all the circumstances, will be
looked upon in history as one of the most
brilliant achievements of the war.
sgThe copperheads talk flippantly of the
injury done to the loyal cause by the issuance
of the emancipation proclamation; and yet in
thC Hciu ouT hioSb Slofious suCCtsstS nave
followed it, and in the loyal states it has been
followed only by Union triumphs. The cop
perheads have gained no state victory since
| Jan. LIST.
sB-Does the Argus believe military Off
| Ger, of not very high degree, discharges his
| duty faithfully when he openly charges the
Government with being engaged to destroy
the Constitution, and does not stick at repre-
senting his superior officers as thieves? Is
this the way to give his personal attention
| completely to business? Or does the Argus
think the legitimate business of such an officer
is to engage in the low and base work of cop
| perhead politicians?
-vThat model of fairness, veracity and
| justice-the Eastern Argus-speaks of Geo.
+. Shepley as Republican General sin re-
tirement," circulating about the country,
electioneering and making stump speeches
for the radical candidates. Gen. Shepley, now
on duty at New Orleans, has made but one
| speech since his appointment as Colonel of
the Maine 18th, and that was in our City
| Hail. in which he had not word to say
| of candidates, and the general views of
which the Argus the next day said were sub
| stantially those which that paper had been la
boring to discriminate!
