RECRUITING IN PoITLAND.-That the quo

ed without draft, it becomes each citizen to
put forth individual exertion to that end. Our
city swarms with recruiting agents and town
Committees, from different sections, who come
here to recruit their respective quotas. to the
incalculablc injury of Portland; but under the
late decision OF the authorities, there seems to
be no remedy for the evil. The barracks in
front of the Post Office were opened yester-
day, and a thriving business done.

Treatment OF Union Citizens ia Kentecky.
New YORK, Nov. 90
Brownlow's Knoxville Wing, OF the 18th,
gives the following exhibit of outrages perpe-
trated on the Union men in East Tennessee.
Since the Union army has taken possession of
East Tennessee very many worthy Union
men have been cruelty murdered by the vii
famous rebels in arms, assisted by periured
citizens who had come forward and taken the
oath. Murder, treason, robbery, infamy and
ruin are the order OF the day in the counties
above and below Knoxville. In the upper
counties they have shot down and otherwise
murdered unoffending men, neither respecting
age nor infirmities, and the soldiers, turning
out in bands of marauders, have robbed fami-
lies OF all in their houses and on their farms,
and where they were unable to carry of all
they found, the thieving villains have DESTROYED
1t, burning private property and destroying
all before them. They have within few
weeks past murdered old men in the presence
OF their families, committing cruel and inia-
nous atrocities that would disgrace wander
ing Arabs. In Washington county, but few
days ago, they murdered Rev. Mr.. Bowman,
of the Dutch Church, in cold blood, and upon
no other preteXt than that he was a Union
man. In the counties of Bount, Monroe,
Hamilton and Bradley, below Knoxville, they
have recently committed some OF the most
born and hell bound rebellion. They marched
an old man named Smith out from his house
in Blount and shot him down in the road in
his sixteth year, leaving poor aud helpless
family of nine persons, dependent on his labor
for their daily bread. The only charge was
that he was Il Lincolnitc. They cruelty muir
dered Rev. Levi Carter and one of his sons in
Bradley, and the charge was that lie was
Lincolnite Methodist preacher. They cut the
throat of Rev. Mr.. Blair, of Hamilton county,
Baptist preacher in the presence of his
family, and his offence was that he was a
Union man. They murdered +. Carter, of
Bradley county, in like manner, as refugees
from that quarter report. They are said to
have murdered two of the Carsons in Monroe
county for no provocation whatever. They
murdered Rev. Hiram Douglass. of the Pres
byterian church, under circumstances most
dsgraceful. They shot down man named
Coseart for no other offence than that he was
Union man.
These are only items in the long list of
wrong and cruelty daily perpctrating by Il set
of scoundrels acting under leaders who have
been false to their allie glance, to friends, neigh
bors, State and the nation. They have had,
and still have, in the hills and mountains of
Sewer County, 400 Cherokee Indians, under
command of that prince OF marauders and
thieves, Col. Thomas, of Western Carolina
These savages, less cruel than their white reb-
ell associates and companions in arms, are rob-
bing houses and scalpng innocent citizens.

New YORK, Nov. 20.
Steamer Convoy has arrived from City
Point. Col. Irving satisfactorily transferred
the Government rations and also the Balti-
more American Relief funds and provisions
TO Commissioner Ould.
Richmond papers OF the 18th contain the
following:
Thirty-siX Yankee deserters managed to
escape from the eastern district military pris-
on on Friday night by mining under the
northern wall Of the castle into private lot.
The miners commenced their work several
days ago in the eastern end of the building
which was allotted to actual deserters, there
being 600 confined in that portion of the
building. The work was all done near the
north wall, and the loose dirt concealed under
a lot OF tobacco fixtures in the room. The
alley being constantly paced by sentinels, it
was necessary to make a subterranean pas
sage under both the wall and alley, which was
accordingly accomplished, and an outlet made
in private lot enclosed with high board
fence Thirty-hve had managed to escape
through this passage before the sentinel dis
covered il, when he Immediately gave the
alarm and rushing to the spot stopped the ex-
odus with his bayonet.
The Enquirer says:-Up to late hour last
night eighteen OF the escaped prisoners had
the city, having been taken near the old church
in Hanover. All were captured by our cav
airy pickets.
The escape of the notorious Rucker from
Jail has removed the difficulty with regard to
the exchange of surgeons.
1t is probable that the next flag of truce
steamer from the North, which is expected
daily now win bring up large number of our
surgeons held as prisoners at the North. The
Libby prison contains eighty-fou Yankee
surgeons, which is quite as great a number as
the Yankees hold. These will be sent forward
as soon as ours are received.
Charleston, Noc. 17M.-Two of the mopi-
tors engaged are not seen this morning.
A report from Moultre states that the lead
ing monitor in the fight had her smoke stack
and turrel perforated.
A report from Sumter states that four mon
itors took their position to-day near Cum
mings' Point, and afterwards passed up the
channel. 1t is believed that they carried
heavy weights suspended at certain depths
below the water TO ascertain if there was
passage for vessels Of a certain draft.
The bombardment of Fort Sumter last night
was continued as usual. Slow firing was 90
ing on this forenoon.
The enemy fired twenty-five shots from
Fort Gregg into the city, doing no material
damage.
No monitors were in action to-day They
have retired.

believed she was shipping men Ostensibly for
stoiiers, but really for more active SERVICE
She sailed on the 9TH during such bad wealth

ed upon.
The proposed European Congress monopo-
lized attention. Napoleon in a letter which is
published, says his sole object is to arrive,
without shock, at The pacitication OF Europe.
1t is supposed that most of the fifteen powers
invited to the Congress will accept. The
Times sees no objection to England's accept
ing the invitation.
Lord Palmerston, in speech at the Lord
Mayors banquet, deplored the American war,
and said England would have interfered but
for the belief that it would be in vain. She,
therefore, would not yield either to blandisl-
ments or menaces. but remain strictly neutral.
Regarding Poland, he said England had
done her duty by demonstrating but although
these remonstrances had failed he hoped Rus
STA would cease to pursue an offensive course.
Lord Palmerstons reception was sgnif-
cantly enthusiastic.
Paris kilograms say that Matamoras is not
blockaded, but contrabands of war will not be
allowed to be landed.

AT the close ofmy last dispatch, at 4.30
p. m. yesterday, the enemy had opened q
heavy attack with artillery on our left and
centre, The tactics Of the enemy was soon
apparent by their nassing Of their main
strength on our left flank, which covered
the Frederick City Road, with determine
ton to crush it. So intent was the enemy
on this purpose that every other part of
their line was left alone. The fighting was
most desperate on both sides. We had
against this great on slaught of arms, the
I'd, Sd and 9th corps. The Sd and 9Th
joined hands and fought heroically. The
I'd ably supported them, and at the same
time held its own position. One division
OF the list corps was also engaged. The
fighting was so furious that neither party
took many prisoners. We captured about
600 in two charges. The losses dnring the
fight were more than usually heavy on both
sides. Many Of our gallant officers have
fallen. Late in the evening Gen. Mea de call

was resolved to continue the fight as long
as any one was left to fight.

The Copperheads of Mahaska and ad :
joining counties had general powwow in
this place last Saturday. Ex-Lieut Col. P.
Cad Bryan was the principal orator. This
meeting was pretty largely attended and
exhibited rather virulcnt type of Copper
headism. A little after noon some disturb
ance was commenced by boy sporting a
copperhead breastpin. Another boy took
it from him and destroyed it. A while af
ter this big fellow from over the river pm
ned copperhead badge to the lapel of his
coat, took his stand ia the middle of the
street on the West side ofthe Public Square,
gave the copperhead signal of distress, and
was Immediately surrounded,b by two or three
hundred of his fellows. Then commenced
scene of riotous confusion beyond the
powers of language to adequately describe,
Some Of the copperheads cried out stake
it off take it Off Others said, "don't
you do 1t don't you do it And then
such scene of rushing together, pulling,
pushing, yelling, swearing, cursing, daring
and damnIng all creation, was never before
witnessed in the streets of Oskaloosa. This
continued until those engaged in it fairly
worried themselves ont. In the meantime
the leaders, seeing what a row there was
among their own men, rushed in and tried
to quiet and disperse the crowd by pcrsua-
sion and argument largely intermxed with
emphatic swearing. They had as wei
talked to tornado. The mob was mad,
perfectly wild indeed, with excitement, and
scarcely knew friend from foe. When they
were partially quoted, from sheer exhaus-
ton, and the fellow with the copperhead
badge had been led away, Geo. Workman
mounted an awning in front of store and
in pathetic tones appealed to his "fellow
democrats" for Goods sake and for the
sake of the democrat party, to dispense -
The crowd remaining took this in good part
and at once took themselves off to another
part of the square. Mr.. WIS speech was
well intended and he is entitled to credit for
his efforts to preserve peace among his
brethren. His remarks were q plain adj
mission that the whole disturbance was
caused by, and among, those he termed
''felow democrats" Union men had moth
ing to do with it, and were only spectators
of this impressive but deeply disgraceful
exhibition of mob spirit-the most dis
graceful that ever furnished the fair fame of
Proud Mahaska."
We do not wonder the copperhead lead
ers were alarmed. They had evoked a
spirit which they found themselves wholly
unable to control, and which was more dam
gerous to them than to any other portion
of community. Such exhibitions are the lie.
climate result of copperhead teachings, and,
if the same teachings are continued, we NAV
expect the recurrence of such scenes, and
sometimes with far more disastrous conse-
quences. When will all men learn that
there is no peace, no security for person or
but in obedience to the laws and
a respectful recognition of the regularly con-
stituted authorities both civil and militia.
