Wood.
Gy Wood is very high at present,
and is. by far, the most expensive item
for families 10 INDECENT circumstances,
that can be found. S ould the present
rates continue all winter, we fear that
some individuals VIII suffer from the
cold Wood is now selling on the streets
at SO 25 and $40 per cord, which is
more than many can afford to pay for an
article that is so plenty all around us.
Of course we do not want wood for moth
ing, we are willing to pay fair price,
bu, this giving four and five dollars a
cord, for green, spongy wood, is piIing
the thing on little too sleep, and one
against which our conscences as well as
purses. cry out most nightly.

in very appropriate manner by the

The police of the city, as now constituted,

one of whom acts as captain of the watch, and
ten watchmen. These receive their compen-

The LATE CAPT. BURGEss.-Letters have
been received from Capt Eben B. Choate, da-
ted Liverpool, l4th inst, stating that immedi-
ately upon his arrival there, he went out to a
suburban town about five miles distant and
met his daughter, the wife of the late Capt
Burgess Of the illfated steamship Anglo Sax
on. She had heard Of the loss of the steamer,
but had a faint hope that her husband might
have been saved. She bore up under the GER
tainty of her affection with more fortitude
than could have been expected. Capt Choate
writes that he was very glad he went over to
England, and will return with his daughter to
this country, Capt Burgess was very much
esteemed in Liverpool and his loss was de-
plored by large circle of merchants and
friends. letter was also received Thursday,
from Mr.. Leach, U. S. Consul at st. Johns, N.
+. He states that he received the body of
Capt. Burgess from the steamship Jura, and
transferred 1t to lead coffin, covered
with wood and cloth, with suitable plate, &c.
The funeral took place May 9Th. About a
hundred Of the merchants of the city, walked
in the procession to the Scotch Presbyterian
cemetery where the burial took place.

GRAND SACRED CoNCERT.-To-morrow ev-
ening Madame Bishop viii give grand sacred
concert at the new City Hall, at which she
will be assisted, in addition to her own troupe,
by a talented corps of volunteers from our
own city. The proposed concert will be a
novelty to US "down casters" although for
series of years similar ones have been given
in Boston and other cities
The programme for tomorrow evening con-
sists of selections from the oratorios of Han
del and Haydn, and from the works of other
noted composers, all of which are of a cast to
highten the religious sensibilities. Among
them is that beautiful air, from the Creation,
"With verdure Clad" and Hardel's "Angels
ever bright and fair" to be sung by Madame
Bishop. Mr.. ]. L. Shaw will sing with Mad
anne B. the duett Graceful Concert" also in
company with Mr.. Gardiner the trio Son
Thee each living soul awaits" There will al
so be given the Sunday Prayer" by quar-
tette of Poppenburg and his band. Mr.. Seguin
will give us some choice selections, and Mr..
John L. Shaw will sing Pro Pecats," from
Stabat Mater.
On the whole, we have the promise of the
finest musical performance ever offered to the
citizens of Portland, and we look for a full
house. This is the last concert we shall have
from Madame Bishop, as she will leave on
Monday for the British Provinces.

DETECTION OF CRIME. - We were well
aware Of the detection of a crime by City
Marshal Head and officers Irish and Stinson,
a few days ago in this city, and we intended to
have alluded to it in general, but the crowded
state of our columns has prevented it until
now. 1t was the larceny OF thirty gold sover-
eigns and some U. S. Treasury notes from the
Canadian House, and the criminal was detect
ed in very skillful manner by the officers
above named. We doubt the policy of max
ing known the exact means resorted to by our
efficient police force to detect the crime, and
it seems to us that the public interest requires
that officers, reporters, and citizens generally
should give no undue publicity TO the means
used to detect crimes committed in our midst,
before the offenders shall have been examined
aud their cases finally disposed OF by the court
having proper jurisdiction of the crimes. The
prisoner in this case is desertcr from the
rebel army. Again we say, our police force is
an honor to the city.

WASHINGTON. MAY 20

WASHINGTON, May 20.
An official dispatch to the War Department
received to-day from Gen. Ellet, commanding
the ram fleet, dated Helena, Ark, May 25th
says:-As my command was descending the
river from Memphis on the 10th the commits
sary and quarternaster's boat was fired into
from the Mississippi side by a band of rebels
with two pieces OF artillery, about six miles
above Austria. l returned yesterday and
landed my force. The enemy had few hours
before my arrival captured small trading
steamer and burned her, taking her crew cap
tives and appropriating her freight. l could
obtain no intelligence from the inhabitants by
which to guide my movements, My cavalry,
under Major Hubbard, 200 strong, came up
with the enemy, 1000 strong and all mounted,
eight miles out. The fight lasted nearly two
hours, and the Major was compelled to take
shelter in favorable position, where he sue
ceeded in repulsing the enemy, and finally
drove them off before the infantry could come
TO his relief. Our loss was two killed and
nineteen wounded, most of them slightly
The enemy left five dead upon the field and
tured three prisoners and twenty-five stand of
arms. l burned the town of Austria, having
first searched every building. As the fire
progressed the discourage of loaded firearms
was IKE volleys Of musketry as the fire reached
their hiding places, aud two heavy explosions
OF powder occurred. OF Major Hubbard and
his battalion cannot speak too highly. Every
officer and man of the little force is reported
to have acted with the most distinguished
bravery and prompt obedience of orders.
