MATTERS ABOUT TOW N.
City Affairs.

At a meeting OF the City Council last even
ing, the Joint Standing Committee on Finance
to whom was referred the order of the Coun-
Gil of July oath, 1868, authorizing the City
Treasurer, under the direction of the Commit
tee on Finance, to hire the sum OF Sl50.0oO to
pay men drafted into the service OF the United
States, or to those that furnish substitute,
reported that they had given the subject their
consideration and had consulted with the
Presidents of the several Banks in this city,
and with some of the capitalists, and are as
sured that the amount required, $4,000, will
be furnished the city as 1t may be required, on
a term of time of six months, and at rate of
interest Of six per cent.
The report was accepted in both branches,
and the order offered July "a, which was re-
ferred to the Finance Committee, authorizing
the City Treasurer to hire that amount, after
being amended by striking out the recommend
alton. that the sum be assessed in the city
taxes for next year, was passed in both Boards.
In the Board Of Aldermen the vote stood six
yeas TO one nay. In the Common Council
fifteen yeas and no nays.
An order passed that so much of the Chief
Engineers report as relates to the building of
two more reservoirs the present year and TO

Heroism Of a Portland soldier.

From one of the officers of the Maine 18th,
lately returned from Port Hudson, we obtain
the following account of heroic act by one
OF our Portland soldiers, which we deem emf
nently worthy of publishing; for, as will be
seen, it was an act of heroism done, not under
the excitement of battle, and with the pomp
and circumstance of glorious war" but from
the higher motive of humanity to suffering
man.
One morning after futile attack had been
made by our forces on one point of the en-
trenchments at Port Hudson, the men of the
Maine 18th volunteers, who held the advance
there, discovered Union soldier lying in the
ditch, and who, by signs made to them, showed
that he was living, but wanted water To
reach him by direct course was impossible,
as the enemies sharpshooters were within a
few hundred yards aud before any explana-
tion of the object desired could be made, the
party attempting it would no doubt be shot.
Corporal Charles Ii. Blake, of company b, of
this city, volunteered to go and carry can
teen OF whisky and one of water to the wound
ed man. He thought that by creeping around
line of our fascines and through slight val
ley, he could reach the wounded man without
being discovered by the enemy He accord
ingly got permission to go out, and upon all
fours crept steadily up to the ditch, but as he
turned one angle, he was suddenly hailed with
the word, "Yank, what are you doing there ?"
Looking up, he saw some fifteen or twenty
rifles that, from saliant he had not seen be-
fore, completely covered him, and he conclud-
ed that his time had come. But he at once
answered Il am carrying drink to that wound
ed man still living in the ditch" He was at
once answered, 3get up and carry 1t to him."
He obeyed and walked to the wounded soldier.
gave him what drink he wanted, fixed his
head on pillow aud left the canteens where
he could get them.
He turned to walk back, and as he looked
up he saw the same rifles still pointed at
him; but conscious of having done a noble
act, he walked calmly back. After he had
proceeded short distance from the wounded
man, the word came, Halt, Yank. file right
and come in here as prisoner of war; To
have disobeyed or hesitated would have been
instant death; he therefore obeyed his first
Confederate orders, and marched boldly and
safely up the escarpment into the fort. lie
was found prisoner of war when Port Hud-
son surrendered, and said that he had been
well treated other than as to food, but had
Jared as well as their own soldiers. who, for
several days before the surrender, had had on
ly two ears of horse corn " distributed to
them daily, with the comforting remark some
times that they could cook their ratons in
any manner they pleased Some of the Con-
federate officers stated TO ours, after the sur
render, that for fresh meat some of them had
eaten rats, which, to hungry man, tasted bet
ter than they looked. Gen. Grover, on learn
ing OF the humane and courageous act of
Blake, said he should report him for promo
ton, which he well deserves, we think.
