Norway Light Infantry.

Under the new State law authority has been
granted to the old Norway Light Infantry to
re-organize, and to become one OF the comma
MES constituting the State Guard A very
few days were found sufficient to enlist the
fulli quota, and on Saturday evening the CON-
pany met at Norway Village for choice of Off
GERS. Before the election they we're treated
to a magnificent COLLATION., served up under a
marque in the yard of f. f. Beal, ESQ.,. pro-
vrded by the patriotic young ladies of the vii
lage. We had the honor to occupy a seat by
the side of Col. Virgin who presided, and who
before dctiue duties were entered upon, stated
that on the 10th of April, 81, a dispatch from
Gov. Washburn asked If the company would
respond to the call Of the Government, and if
so how soon. A brief consultation was had,
and answer was returned that the company
would respond, and would do so as soon as the
demand was made. In less than one week the
company reported themselves at Portland, the
frs: company Cd hand to make up the LIST
Maine Regiment. The company had furnished
to the army three Colonies, four Captains, six
Lieutenants, and more Sergeants and Corporals
than it was convenient TO count. Three
cheers were given for Col. Virgin. After the
election the company repaired to their armory
and made choice of officers as follows:
SYLvANUs COBB, Jr., Captain.
HENRY MiILETT, LIST Lieutenant.
RoLLIS Town, I'd Lieutenant.
The company have already received their
guns and equipments from the State-the best
arms furnished for the service-and will soon
receive a rifed cannon, when their armament
will be complete. A company that has gradu-
ated such officers as Coils. Beal, Rust and
Virgin, viii not fail to do credit to itself and
reflect honor upon the State.

The Riot in New York.

The telegraph yesterday afternoon brought
news that 5000 of the disloyal population of
New York, armed with clubs, revolvers and
pitchforks, had raised a riot, assaulted the
Provost Marshal's Office in one of the Districts
Of the city, destroyed the rolls, fired the build
ings, intimdated the firemen, cut the telegraph
wires, subdued the police force, and we're hav-
ing things all their way. This is Copperhead-
ism gone to seed. 1t is the legitimate fruits
Of the teachings of Fernando Wood, James
Brooks and other traitors, who deserve to
swing at a ropes end as richly as ever did
JEFF Davis or any who have raised their hands
against the authority of the Government
1t is probable that Gov. Seymour will feel
compelled to take this matter into his own
hands, crush out the mob, and be respected.
Ifhe don't do it, the General Government will
have TO do it; and II the Government at Wash
ington does have to interfere we hope it will
do SO with strong hand, and in way to
make its power felt Put the city under mar
tial law and place Gen. Butler in charge and
IL some of the Internal traitors that stir up the
vile passions Of men in that city don't swing
Tor 1t, 1t will be either because they change
their course Of conduct or because hemp Is
scarce.
We learn that dispatch was received over
the Independent Telegraph line last evening
stating that the Tribune Office had been gut,
ted, and the other Republican papers in that
city had been threatened. The rioters had
complete possession of the city, and the civil
power was entirely unable to afford protec-
ton.
The telegraph Offices in the city were closed.
The lines Of the American Company had been
cut and the operators went out about dozen
miles from the Office to send messages, but
they were pursued and forced to stop. The
Independent line was untouched, but they
were obliged to close the Office at o'clock.
At this time Of writing, ~ o'clock, it is doubt
fui whether We shall have any intelligence
from that city or South, later than that con-
tanned inthe New York evening papers, which
have been received at New Haven.

MooDY's MARINE OBsERvAToRY.-In our
congratulations over our success in capturing
the cutter Caleb Cushing, we fear that our
citizens may overlook that part of the duty
which was assigned to Moody's Observatory
on Munjoy Hill. This red tower of wood, is
one of the best signal stations in the country,
and when our shipping gets to be as large as
that of Boston, which il is rapidly approaching
in the number OF arrivals, our merchants and
commercial men willsbegin to appreciate the
advantages of this marine telegraph that no
titles them Of the approach Of their vessels
when they are twenty miles or more of.
On the morning Of the pursuit of the cutter
arrangements were made before each steamer
left, TO have the course necessary for them to
take outside Of the harbor, designated by one
or more balls. When they reached the outlet
Of the harbor, the two black balls hoisted on
the eastern staff, directed them to steer south
east, they therefore made direct course for
the cutter, upon which Mr.. Moody had kept
his telescope all the morning: thus no time
was lost in hunting her up, among the numer-
Gus vessels in the ofling.
The fine telescope in this Observatory is
227 feet above mean tide level in the harbor,
and thus in clear day the spectator from the
cupola takes In panoramic view extending
from the Island Of Seguin at the mouth of the
Kennebec river 80 miles off eastward, to the
White Mountains OF New Hampshire, embra-
cling distance of about one hundred miles.
There are some Of our citizens we are told
who have never seen this view, which an emf
nent English traveller, Latrobe, pronounces
the second best view in North America; lie,
enormously as We think, giving the preference
TO that from the ramparts at Quebec,
Canada.

The Dram In Portland.

Agreeaby to orders from the War Depart
mens, the drafting In this city commenced
yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the old
City Hall. There was very large gathering
of the anxious ones on the occasion, and the
hall was crowded.
The drawing was conducted by Provost
Marshal Capt. Charles II. Doughty, Commits
sioner Edward S. Morris, Esq. and DIR. Theo-
dore ii. Jewett. Robert |. Hull Esq, acted
as Clerk. Capt. G. p. Cochrane of Monmouth,
of the 7th Maine volunteers, Inspector on the
staff of Provost General. Major Gardiner, was
present rendering assistance in the proceed
ings.
The city was divided into three sub districts.
Wards l, 2 and constitute the first sub dis
trict, and 1912 names were returned, from
which 324 were to be drawn. Wards and s
constitute the I'd sub district, returning 1O47
names, from which 3l3 are to be drawn.
Wards 6 and Z constitute the Sd sub district,
Here names are returned, from which 229
are to be drawn. The Islands constitute the

UNION NOMINATION..
SAMUEL CONY.
Great Union Demonstration at South Pari.

Great Union Demonstration at South Paris.
On Saturday afternoon last, there was a
large Union and congratuatory demonstration
in the grove between South Paris and Norway
village, called in view of our recent Union
victories. Notwithstanding the busy season of
the year, and notwithstanding the shortness of
the notice-the posters having been put up
only the day before--it was estimated that
from one thousand to twelve hundred people
were in attendance, good sprinkling of them
being ladies. The loyal people seemed to have
turned out in their strength from the two
towns, while all the neighboring towns were
well represented.
The meeting was called to order at 2 o'clock
by Hon. Sidney Perham, of Paris, on whose
motion Ezra +. Beal, Esq, of Norway was
called to the chair. On taking abe chair Mr..
Beal made few very appropriate remarks,
after which prayer was offered by Rev. w. III.
Ventres of Paris.
Hon. J. j. Perry of Oxford, was introduced
as the first speaker, and while he was speaking
the Norway Light Iniantry-the old company
newly revived - under command of Co.'s
Beal and Virgin, Of the 10th and 23d Maine
regiments, marched upon the ground, escor-
ted by the North Bridgton Band, and were
received with the most enthusiastic cheers
from the assembled multitude.
Mr.. Perry was followed by Sylvanus Cobb,
Jr., the great Novelist, who made a speech Of
great force and beauty, occupying about
twenty-five minutes. Mr.. Cobb resides In
Norway.
Col. Virgin was called for, but asked to be-
excused on the ground that those who were
exempt from lighting should do the talking.
He was excused with cheers.
Rev. Mr.. Southworth of South Paris, fol-
lowed with speech all aglow with patriotism,
occupying twenty-five minutes.
J. T. Gilman of Portland Hon. E. w.
Woodbury. Of Sweden, and Hon. S. Perhami Of
Paris, followed Mr.. Perham took occasion to
refer to a lady present, whom he thought the
audience would be glad to hear from, and
when he announced her name it was greeted
with cheers. Miss Parker was waited upon
70 the stand and for half an hour commanded
the most undivided attention of the large au-
appeals to her own sex-mothers, wives, sis
tiers and daughters - upon the necessity of
labor and sacrifice on their part to encourage
their fathers, brothers husbands and sons in
the great work Of patriotism now demanded
at their hands. Miss Parker is Methodist
lady, and for years past has been engaged in
preaching the gospel; and If her speaking on
this occasion afforded a fair sample OF her
talents she must excite a deep and wide in
fuence for good.
The speeches we're interspersed with music
from the Band which did much to give zest to
the occasion.
The occasion was happy one. The loyal
blood Of "Old Oxford is up to fever heat, and
though that county is cursed with some of
the most disloyal spirits in the State; though
1t has been disgraced with full share of cow
ardly skedaddes, yet the heart OF her people
is right, and she viii never fail to do her
duty.
