MORE REBEL PIRATES.

The foreign news, Published on Saturday,
stated that the new Rebel steamer Rappahan-
mock, bought, Ike every other armed Rebel
steamer now saoa,, in England, was III The
roadsiead OF Calais. We understand, on good
authority, that there is letter IN this city,
written By an officer on board that ship, which
states that she was then underway aud bound
down channel. We gee no reason to doubt the
report; but il not positively true, II i only
premature, for that the Rappahsnnock Sas
aboa, TO start on piratical cruise in pursuit of
American thips there can be no doubt. l. is
also undoubtedly tine that abe sailed from a
British mort under British colorS, and We ought
next to hear that British cruisers are in pursuit
OF her. Ii the neutrality laws Of Great Britain
require that naval vessels should keep watch
and ward over suspected Rebel rams in the
Mersey, do they nor also require that similar
measures be taken to intercept such vessels
when they have actually fitted out in British
port and have escaped under the British flag
Is a suspected violation OF law greater crime
than the act committed J. good faith observed
when vessels at anchor only are carefully
watched and vessels that have escaped are
allowed TO 80 without even m attempt to over
take them
The (London) Daily Noes reports that a ram,
supposed ai-o to belong TO The Rebel, had
sailed from Hull The report ia probably cor
rect, aud there IL no doubt that shc was sent 10
sen by the Rebel agents. The letter 10 which
We have referred also states, We understand,
that there was such ycsscl-iron- cad-about
to sail from Hull. The two accounts undouhi-
eddy refer to the same chip. Here, then, are
two Rebel pirates that have escnped from British
ports, within few hour of each other. Ia prey
upon American commerce. How tbs could
happen without exciting any suspicion o. TO
their drstinaion-how, especially, an iron-clad
ship coo'd fit out and get TO sea from small
port like Hull. Guiding the vigilance of civil and
revenue officers. il there 1ras any such vigilance,
il is not easy 10 understand. But taking il for
granted that due diligence is used by the British
Government, in all her ports, 10 prevent such
violations Of her laws Of neutrality and Of
her assurances Of good faith with our
own Government, Nc may, at least, expect that
it does not consider ia obligations at M end
when a Rebel vessel has been fortunate enough
to clude all vigilance and steamed out OF har.
bor. Such vessels, with only few hours start,
could hardly escape the British cruisers, if the
pursuit were immediate and active. Our own

A PROPOSED CONVENTION.

There is q rumor about town OF Peace
Convention, with an eye to the next Presidency,
to be held here in the course of few days.
We look in vain in the Peace Journals for any
announcement Of the fact, or any call for
such Conventions; but this may be merely
because the preliminary arrangements
arc not yet in sufficient state
of forwardness, or because the desirable CO.
operation of all the right sort Of men is not yet
secured. But that the thing is proposed and
under earnest discussion, we believe there IL no
doubt. This notice, perhaps, may aid the
project in giving it that publicity without winch
it must come to An sbOrtiye end. The public,
to say nothing of the Government, will have to
DO consulted before We can settle our little
difficulties with Jc1. DAVIS and bis friends,
and the people must cast votes before
n President can be chosen, even though 1t may
be desirable that they should have no voice in
his nomination. so We give due notice OF the
proposed Convention with the hope that
nothing may happen to prevent its coming
together We welcome any sort OF sport Tor the
holidays.
Those who call it. VS. understand, are moved
rather by distrain than by hope, and regard 1t as
the last desperate measure, short OF revolution,
IN which they can resort. Peace is it, object
peace At any price--and their reliance il first,
upon an appeal to their Southern brethren,
aud next upon one to those OF the North who are
ready to accept any terms upon which the
South will 10 willing 70 return to their alleei-
ence. The leaders in the movement are evil
IDENTIFY Ut their wits ends to hit upon plan
which will brig the whole country into swea
accord. and induce Southern Rebels to lay
down their arms and tho North 10 accept .
peace which shall leave them q conquered peo-
pie. What persuasive arguments they VIII
put forth 10 bring about such a
contamination We are not vet informed, but the
practical measure determined upon u.s. We un-
derstand, to nominate Chief Justice fancy for
President, and Thomas III. Seymour of Con-
necticut for Vice.Presidsnt. Possibly We his
Judge, but this docs not strike us rs stronghold
ct, Considering the claims Of the two gentlemen
il seems 20 us to be doing injustice to Mr.. JET
fcrson Davis 10 give Mr.. Tuncy the preference
over him; inssmuch as he has not yet been de-
fca,ed in popular election, due respect Is not
paid 10 the other Seymour--our own honored
Govsrnor--in giving him the go-by in favor Of
him of Connecticut. A we, however, have
not been invited 10 the Coagontion. perhaps We
have no right Of suggestion at this early stage
of the business. At any rate We are glad to
see that these patriots are moving, and we
promise to give them freely of our help to put
their n,minees properly before the peopis.

A COPPERHEAD GATHERING.-In order to
counterfeit, as far as possible, the glowing
and eloquent speech of Gen. Shepley last eve
ming, the Copperheads Of this city arranged
to serenade Mr.. Hayes, the gentleman from
Chicago who undertook to introduce politics
at the recent reception OF the Western Boards
of Trade. The Portland Band was engaged,
and, after their services at City Hall, they re-
paired to the Preble House, where they dis
coursed some of their splendid music.
We were not present, but are informed that
our Representative to Congress, Hon. L. d.
NJ. Sweat, introduced Mr. Hayes to the audi
ence, consisting of some two or three hundred,
who had been summoned there, and that he
was greeted with Kisses and cheers, the former
at times predominating.
Mr.. Hayes made but brief speech, con-
demnatory of the war.
F. o. }. Smith, who had his cap-traps pres
ent, was called for, and, as usual, Immediately
made his appearance. For one hour he in
dulged in TRADE against the National Ad-
ministration, being greeted alternately with
cheers and Kisses. We are told that he was
baptised, during his speech, by shower from
one of the upper windows of the hotel but
this wont save him. Nothing deeper or purer
that the waters Of Jordan mot Sam, of West
brook can save him from political destruction
We wish our democratic friends much joy
upon this acquisition to their ranks.

Letter from the Mountains.

WHITE MOUNTAINS, August 10, 1858.
To the Editor 81 the Press:
Presenting you would like to keep posted as
TO how the world is going on at all points, L
am induced to drop you line from this quar-
ter.
The mountain region was never in better
condition to excite admiration. The success
sion of rains have swollen all the streams, and
they 60 rollicking down through the rocky ra-
vines and valleys, flashing in the sunlight or
darling by the bluffs and overhanging trees,
with a merriness that almost makes one for
get that there is anything but enjoyment in
this world of ours.
or course Glen Ellis, the Crystal, Shelf
Rock, and all the other cascades aud water
falls from the same cause are more than us
ually attractive, and the mountain scenery is
in all its glory.
And there is not wanting in people to enjoy
all these things. Indeed, the mountains are
swarming with tourists and pleasure seekers,
TO an extent never known before. Every ho-
tel and boarding house is fall to overlooking,
and he who obtains better accommodations
for sleeping than pillow and parlor floor, is
in extraordinary luck. OF course the ladies
have to be taken better care of.
Among the many guests at the Glen House
Is Mrs. President Lircoln, and her two sons,
Robert and Thomas. She is an ailabe, pleas
ant spoken lady, and seems to make a good
impression wherever she goes. The oldest
son, Robert is a smart young man, about Is
years of age; the youngest is not far from 10.
Mrs. Lincoln assembled Mt. Washington two
successive days, and seemed to be highly
pleased with the vast and varied prospects.

sons Cascades" in honor of the landlord OF

Tribute to a Departed Irish Patriot.
PORTLAND, Aug. 10, 1858

PORTLAND, Aug. 10, 1858.
To the Editor Of the Press; fh
We witnessed, yesterday, at the Roman
Catholic Church. on State Street, the funeral
of LIST Lieut.. M. c. Boyce, 10th Regt. us. A.
He entered the army in the year 1855, when
boy of eighteen, and rose step by step.
through intelligence, energy and good habits,
from the ranks to the position of LIST Lieut. in
the regular army.
He passed through the battles of Yorktown,
Williamsburg, the seven terrible days in which
our army was driven from the Peninsula, the
I'd Bull Run, Antietam, Fredericksburg, and
Charlottesville without a scratch. At Gettys-
burg he was an aid-de-camp of Gen Ayres of
our city, and at that battle received his death
wound. Besides family and home friends,
many, very many, officers mourn the loss of
their gallant and much-loved comrade.
All honor to the brave and self-made young
lrishman, who, after giving youth and early
manhood, when that was not enough, offered
up bis life to the struggle and most holy cause
OF his adopted country.

Speech Of General Geo. F. shepiey.

Speech OF General Geo. F. shep,ey.
Never was the spacious City Hall more
denseIy packed than last evening, to welcome
home our distinguished and popular fellow
citizen, GEN. GEO. F. SHEPLEY. Long be-
fore the hour of meeting, the gallery was
crowded with ladies', and hundreds turned re-
luctantly away unable to gain admission. The
floor Of the hall was packed denscly and humid
reds we're obliged to stand. The stage was
occupied by the clergymen Of the city, Judges
of the Supreme Court, members Of the City
Government and others
The Portland Band was in the orchestra and
furnished excellent music. When Gen. Shop
ley entered the hall he was received with long
continued and loud applause, aud every dem
onstration Of the widest enthusiasm.
Promptly at 7.S0 the meeting was called to
order by Judge Kingsbury, or whose motion
Nathan Webb, Esq. was called to the chair
On taking the chair, Mr.. Webb made a few
exceedingly felcitous remarks, and introduce
ed Gen. Shepley, who was received, and was
often interrupted, by the most enthusiastic
applause.
Gen. Shepley spoke two hours, and yet no
one seemed to weary and all appeared dissat-
isfed only that he should close so soon. After
brief introduction, in which he alluded to
local matters, and revealed an unmistakable
sympathy for the loyal cause in our own State,
he instituted two questions, the discussion of
which occupied the evening, TO wit:
/. Can the Rebellion be subdued?
q Amer 1t shall be subdued, II subdued 1t
shall be, can the Union be restored?
We shall not attempt even an abstract or
synopsis of this able speech. Nothing of the
kind could do it justice. Suffice it TO say, II
was thorough, square-edged, unequvocal,
manly and whole-soued defense of the gov
eminent, aud indicative of the efforts being
made to put down this causeless rebellion.
At the close Of the speech, Mr.. Webb, Chair
man Of the meeting, proposed three cheers for
the eloquent orator of the evening. which
were given with win, and three more with
them. Three more were also given for the
Union, and the meeting adjourned.
We have had the speech reported verbatim,
phonographically, and it will require about
two days to write il out carefully. Then we
shall give it 10 our readers entire, and lie pre-
pared to NIL all orders. 1t will form docu-
ment that should be read by every man in the
State. 1t Is just the thing TO do good. Let
those who desire extra copies, send In their
orders, and they shall be flied with the least
possible delay.
