Old Soldiers.
PoRTLANp. July ID. ls3G.

PORTLAND, July 10, 1886.
To the Editor Of the Press:
In your paper this morning noticed a sug-
gestion to revive the old militia by voluntary
agreement. If this could be done and the
companies thus formed could procure arms
and equipments at the public expense, and
would meet once week under the old militia
system some thirty years ago, "A corps might
be so disciplined as TO perform very essential
service in case of an invasion of our rights by
either Southern or Northern rebels. We live
in an age of great excitabiIity, and it is not
very severe task for any unprinciped, aspiring
demagogue TO kinde in the minds of the
vicious and ignorant the fire of rebellion
against the Government. We should therefore
guard every avenue to aggression and institute
such measures as will most eflectually check
any lawless outbreak that may occur.
we are not entirely free from men of the same
class and the same character as those that EN-
couraged and started the riot that is making
such fearful ravages in New York.
company sufficiently large might be FORM
ed in every ward in the city, with view TO
looking after the interest of their particular
ward and acting together when necessary.
Such an organization would have a tenden-
cy to revive the feelings of patriotism in the
old soldiers themselves, and to inspire similar
feelings in the young men who are about Join
ing the army in defense Of the country. The
war is not yet ended and we must not in any
wise lessen our efforts to keep the fire OF patri-
otto zeal burning CoKPoRAL.

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF POTOMAC,
July 14th.
The first news of the retreat of Lee and his
army into Virginia was received at Hagers-
town at o'clock this Tuesday morning from
a citizen who lived within their lines.
Gen. Fitzpatrick, commanding the cavalry
division at that point, soon had his men on the
road and reached Williamsport at O'Clock,
where he found 800 rebel soldiers who had de-
serted.
The news reached Gen. Meade's headquar-
tiers at s o'clock, when Gen. Buiord's division
OF cavalry was ordered to Falling Waters,
where they engaged and captured Il brigade OF
rebels under Gen. Pettigrew who was killed.
The position OF the rebels was naturally a
strong one, but their works were not of much
account, consisting principally of hurriedly
constructed rifle pits.
After Lee had re-crossed the river, il was
ascertained that he had commenced to move
his artillery to the rear as early as yesterday
morning, which he continued during the whole
day, depending almost wholly upon his infan-
try and cavalry, to keep Gen. Meade in check
Gen. Meade held a council of war on Satur-
day and Sunday evenings, consisting of his
corps commanders, when the question of at
tack was freely discussed. All the Generals
assembled were in favor of an immediate at
tack except Gems. Sedgwick, Slocum Sykes,
and French. Gen. Meade himself was in favor
Va "Nei'N oPOi a'ioIs, Vut ihuiIS uis CoIps CoW-
manders equally divided, he hesitated to give
the order, and the rebel amy was allowed to
make its escape.
An order was issued last night for a move
ment along the whole line at Z O'Clock this
morning.
Yesterday afternoon about 1000 Pennsyya-
mia militia, who had arrived in the vicinity of
Hagerstown, were taken to the front and put
into action. They were ordered to charge the
enemy, which was done promptly, but not
without some loss.

One DIR. Jordan Of Bangor, violent seces-
sionist, undertook to deliver speech in Brew
er a few nights SINCE and he went so far as to
denounce the army as the tool of the aboli-
tionists, saying that the soldiers were in the
South TO butcher our Southern brethren be-
cause they demanded their rights. There
were returned soldiers in the audience, as
well as others, who could not sit still and hear
such sentiments uttered, and they told the
speaker to stick to his party, TO politics, and
abuse the "Back Republicans" to his hearts
content, but that he must not outrage their
ears by such gross attacks upon the Govern
ment and the army. The Doctor replied that
he had talked to larger audiences than this,
that he was in the habit of tanning wild bulls,
and that he came prepared to speak, and if
violence was offered, it would be met by vio-
lence on the part of his Democratic friends.
This was more than the audience could bear,
and his voice was drowned by shouts and
groans. Finally, three stale eggs were thrown
at him, two Of which struck him in the face,
when he dried up.
1t was evident that the insolent Doctor was
about to receive pretty rough treatment when
prominent citizen of Brewer appeared on
the platform and urged the crowd to let them
depart in peace, or else they might have been
severely hustled. They left for the ierry-way
without any further demonstrations.
A correspondent Of the Bangor Times, who
communicates the above facts to that paper,
says:
The people of Brewer will accord a respect
fnl hearing TO respectful speakers, but it is
safe 10 say that no such sentiments as were ut
tered on this occasion will be tolerated here
from Dr. Jordan-or any other man.
We give the above not because we approve
of disorderly proceedings, or would endorse
such treatment even of so worthless crea-
ture as this DIR. Jordan, who seems to have
provoked violence by his own threats of vio-
lence, and to have received it from the very
men whom he had insulted-returned soldiers.
1t would be far better to leave such fellows to
waste their eloquence upon vacant space, and
discountenance them by absence or the with
ering contempt of silence.

The Escape of Lees Army.

New York, July u.
The World publishes the following special
dispatch:
Hdgersto,cn, July 14th, uid Washington Ju-
W l3h.-The rebels commenced TO retreat
across the Potomac Sunday night. Lee sent
all his wagon trains and plundered stock over
the ford at Williamsport. The ford is still very
deep and some wagons were destroyed and a
lew cattle
The infantry and artillery retired along the
pike to Williamsport, thence down the Mary
land shore to point opposite Falling Waters,
where they had a pontoon bridge which they
made some days ago at Williamsport. They
arrived at the pontoon bridge at 2 o'clock last
night, and commenced crossing at once.
Hill and Ewell seem to have got away alto
gether, and Longstreet and Stuart protected
the rear.
Lee himself crossed the Potomac on Sun
day.
The rebels took away several thousand stol-
en- horses. They have left at WilliamsDort
number of the wounded OF the Gettysburg
fights.
Firing at Downesvlle has been brisk all day.
The rebels said they waited for an attack
from Meade long enough. Their Notifications
are very extensive, running over ten miles in
a good position.
The retreat was fastened by the want of
subsistence, they having eaten up everything
here and sent for supplies to Martinsburg
Lee will be apt to occupy Winchester at
once, unless Federal force interferes with
his march there.
Several hundred rebels are reported to have
been drowned while crossing at the ford and
on the bridge.
