ssCan the Negro Fight?',

Since our former article under the above
heading relating to the riot in this city, when
King negro drove large mob from his
house and captured their six-pound field pieces,
ian old inhabitant" communicates the follow
ing facts respecting another colored citizen of
Portland, showing that the NEGRO can fight"
Many of our citizens have doubtless on
snnny day seen an aged negro near the Post
Office, summing himself at some door or win
dow; his name is Jack Grove, and the old folks
tell us that he has been known to our mer-
chants and business men, first in his younger
days as a look on board our vessels, then as a
boss stevedore for the late Jacob Knight ESQ.,,
in discharging his numerous cargoes of molas-
ses, and lastly in his old age as a gatherer ND
OF old junk, with his bag on his back, linger-
ing in his old age among our wharves and
shipping. Jack calls his age something over
one hundred but there can be but little doubt
that he is over ninety-five years Of age, and
still walks without cane.
In his seagoing days Jack was cook on
board Il vessel which sailed from this port.
commanded by Capt. Samuel Mcclellan, Sc
nior; she was bound to one of the British
West India Islands; it was at the time when
Napoleon had issued his famous Berlin and
Milan decree declaring all vessels and cargoes
of nentrals bound to British port as ld,rful
prizes; this brig therefore on being overhauled
by French vessel of war was captured and
ordered into Point Petre Guadalupe.
E,annb
on board the prize and the master and Jack
the cook left on board
When the prize master came on board, he
tauntingly seized Jack by his woody hair and
remarked. "ah, my fine boy, you will bring me
one thousand dollars on the slave block; this
being sold into slavery, even at high price
did not please Jack; as soon therefore as they
had parted company with their captor, he pro-
posed to Capt. Mcclellan to recapture the
vessel: this the Captain declined, thinking the
effort only foolhardy against such fearful Odds
Jack, however, twas not afraid to fight" and
that too against odds and waiting favorable
opportunity when the crew were mostly below
and the prize master on deck, Jack opened
the battle and with one blow put the prize
master where he could harm no one; he then
ran forward and by means of kedge anchor
secured the forecasue, gangway and matches
so that the crew could only come out by per-
nilsson of those on deck; he at once buried
the prize master and turned the brig over TO
Capt. Mcclellan, who at once altered her
course and stood for her destined port, where
she arrived in safety and returned to Port
land
Jack, when he learned that negroes were TO
be admitted into the army, Strengthened up
and wished "the old niger was about t,oenty
years younger, that he could show the white
folks that he had the fight in him." He lives
among his relations, but never refuses to re-
ceive quarter 'just TO buy hacker with in his
old age"

ArmOry Square Hospital.

serve that "Donators" seek information which
l can, and am most happy to give relative to
this excellent institution. When it was organ
lied many comforts were absolutely necessary
which the government would not furnish. |
instance few. A single breadthof cheap car
peting running through the center of the halls
cost about seven hundred dollars. Curtains
for the windows almost four hundred. Ice
house three hundred and eighty, and other
articles specified in my letter of instructions
three hundred dollars more. A chapel was
also believed to be necessary. But experience
taught me that it was better to hold services
on the Sabbath in all the Wards where all
would be present, than in single place where
but convalescents could attend. | therefore
have two services Instead Of one. But chapel
is still greatly needed and is soon to be built,
and for the following purposes: in which to
hold our social meetings; in which our Loyal
League numbering more than six hundred
members can meet; in which our Division of
the Sons of Temperance now nourishing
can meet, and finally for room in which
our valuable library numbering more
than one thousand volumes can be kept,
and for reading room for newspapers and
pamphlets. Now to accomplish all this and
much more it was necessary either to take the
necessary amount from the Hospital fund
which was really FROM the stomachs of the sick
and wounded men, or to appeal to loyal and
generous public. The commander of the post
did not hesitate, but ordered me, with special
instructions, to proceed and make the appeal,
which did and succeeded in raising some
eight hundred dollars three hundred in this
state) which paid over to DIR. d. w. Bliss,
Surgeon U. s. ", in charge and for which |
hold his receipt, and who will give any other
information relative to this Hospital 1t has
been my pleasure to show many of these do
nors through this Hospital and point out the
various improvements made by their generos-
ity, and the great comfort derived from them.
| shall always be most happy to have all friends
of our sick and wounded heroes call and see
for themselves. Thanking "Donators" for the
deep interest they feel in our Hospital, and for
the opportunity to make this explanation,
am, dear sir, Yours, very truly,

He is careful to remember, as every apollo
ted out in the English colonies sailed from
Boston," But he forgets that the most effec-
tive opposition to the traffic originated in
New England and that the liberty which was
Graded in Faneuil Hall was for the black man
as well as for the white.
He does not forget that "Northern legisa-
tors have prohibited the immigration of col
ored men," in some Of the free states; but he
does forget to tell us that it has been done
by such men as himself, while no State under
ted such infamous laws.
He is troubled to think that "thousands of
the colored people will perish in the present
struggles of our country by the sword which
they WELD for the white man." He forgets
that it is also their country, and that most of
them have even more at stake in the contest
than we. When such men as Robert Small
and Captain Calloux ask him for his commits
GRAFTON, it will be quite time to give it.
But enough. The article would have been
unworthy of notice had 1t not appeared in the
editorial columns of the accredited organ of a
large and influential denomination. Intrinsi-
cally it is as weak as it is wicked. The ne
gro race cannot be injured by such covert
abuse. The colored man, if liberated, will
take care of himself They who have al
ways hated him need not trouble themselves
as to "what will become of him." If he needs
assistance, the romantic reformers," who
have pleaded for him in spite of mobs, amid
obloquy and reproach, will still reach out to
him helping hand. And they will yet stand
in honor together, under the flag which they
have rescued from traitors, amid the plaudits
of a world, while the very name of those who
have hated and revied and prosecuted the col
ored man will be a Kissing and reproach in all
civilized lands.

PENoBscOT CoUNTY.-Old Penobscot COM
menced Monday night sending in returns, of
msjorities upon majorities for the Union can
didate, until, as we supposed, she would be
compelled to stop. But no! like the old 18th
Ward in New York, of which the story was
told, years ago, that they always sent down to
Tammany Hall to know whether votes enough
had been thrown for the democratic ticket be-
fore they stopped voting-so in Penobscot-
town after town sends in majority for the
Union ticket, rolling up majority of thou
sands in that county, and striving to Guido old
Kennebec. 1t is tight pull between the two
counties; bnt, from present appearances, Ken
nebec will come in ahead by the length of
neck. Honor and glory to both of these patri-
otis counties.

You were in error in your statement OF
Tuesday relative to the death of Capt. Baker
of the 9th Regiment, in saying that there are
two Captain Bakers in the regiment, and it
was uncertain which was killed. There were
two, but Captain William f. Baker of Co. ID
was promoted to Major and afterwards mns-
tered out Of service, and has been at home
some months, SO that the only Captain Baker
left in the regiment was Capt Scollay ID. Ba-
ker Of Co. l, who must be the one mentioned.

By The by it must be rather puzzling to know who
is the genuine native teacher when Swiss teachers
come out with offcious and official testimonials,
transforming them into Frenchmen; as II such pa
pers obtained out of compaisance. could either in
sure the French accent remove the native brogue.
A native teacher only can realize the difficulty of
Graduating an accent acquired from such teachers.
The Prof waits one to prove he Is frenehman;

and two miles ifom hs mother fro,di-gious

of his birth the date and place he registered;
the name of the college where he studied the day
and the year he graduated That would indeed be
sufficient to silence his adversaries.

New YORK, Sept. 10.
The Times Washington dispatch says the
tenor OF the latest dispatches from Mr.. Day
ton convey the most explicit and unmistakable
assurance from the French Emperor, as well
as from his minister Of foreign affairs, that
France has no intention either to recognize
the Southern Confederacy, while its independ-
ence is seriously contested, nor to plant any
French colonies on the Western Continent, or
to retain any permanent conquest of Mexico.
These declarations are regarded as eminently
satisfactory by our government. The Presi-
dent does not think that the new rebel rams
will be allowed to leave English ports.

Interesting from Galveston.

NEW YORK, Sept. 10.
Recent New Orleans advices state that two
deserters who boarded the gunboat Princess
Royal, from Galveston in the. latter part of
August, represent things in avery bad state
in that city. About ten days before they left
the troops laid down their arms on account of
the bad state of their rations, which consisted
of meal aud fresh beef, and said they would
not take them up unless better and proper ra-
tions were served them. This was remeded
by the proper authorities and they again re-
sumed their duties. There are only about
three thousand troops in Galveston, Que artil-
lery regiment, two of infantry, and one caval-
ry. Col. Dabney commands the forces.
