CORNISH, Nov. 2lsT, 1868.
To the Editor Of the Press:
The remains Of Corporal John C.. Wads-
worth, who fell in the battle of Gettysburg,
were received by his friends here on Wednes-
day last. The funeral services on Thursday
were conducted by Rev. Albert Cole, and the
burial by Greenlear Lodge of Free and Ac-
cepted Masons OF Cornish, assisted by Carroll
Lodge of Freedom, n. H., and brethren from
Adoniram and Drummond Lodges. All the
services were most impressive At meeting
of Greenleaf Lodge on Friday evening the
following Resolutions were reported and
adopted.
MASONIC HALL, CORNISH, MAINE,
Nov. 90 A. d. 1868, A. l.. 6s6S.
Resolred, That our deceased Brother, John c.
Wadsworth, by his devotion to duty and herosm Of
sacrifice, met 1ully the obligation which Masonry in
scribes upon the portals Of its temple Be true to
your government and just to your country''-that
falling where heroes fell, his memory shall be cher
ished where heroes still live-one among the many
in every heart which patriotism urges to quickened
pulsation.
Resoired, That we who knew him in social and
fraternal life bear cheerful testimony to his worth
while living, and will preserve the recolectons of
our companionship with him, hallowed by new ties
which the grave cannot sever
Resoired, That the lesson taught by this bereave-
ment direct all to the necessity of performing well
lifes duties that too may be transferred to the
celestial Lodge where the perfect Government of
GREAT MASTER shall confer immortal life and eter-
nal purity.

THOMAS DARCY MCGEE. - The Quebec
Gazette says the friends of this gentleman are
about to present him with furnished house
and very handsome pecuniary testimonial.
Mr.. MCGEE recently gave lecture in Kings
ton on the future Of Canada, which the Mon
treal Witness says "was made up largely Of
misrepresentation or abuse of the United
States" 1t would be interesting to know If
the present is the reward for his inldelity to
his early friends in the States. This Thomas
Darcy is the same man who was brought all
the way from Canada to make speech at the
first Popham celebration, and who was re-
ceivcd with pomp and flourish of trumpets
in front of the Post-offlcc in this city. He has
now turned traitor not only to the Irish cause
but to the friends and institutions with which
he first became identified on coming to Amer
lea, and in Canada caters to that vile senti-
ment which subsists upon hatred of all free
dom and free Institutions. In Montreal his
early friends have Withdrawn from him, while
he finds his supporters among the lowest and
most ignorant and most bigoted class Of
voters.

A CHANGE. - "Perley," the well-known
writer Of the "Waifs from Washington" inthe
Boston Journal, has returned to his post after
his summer vacation. Here is suggestive
extract from his first letter:
= 1t is not many months since "abolitionist'
was associated here with such terms as iniidel
atheist, traitor or murderer. Bloody insur-
rections were its objects, and affrighted moth
ers hushed their babes asleep with the terri
BILE epithet, as the Saracen matrons are said
TO have done theirs with the name Richard
Cnur-de-Lion. Now "abolitionist" is a power
in the State, and l have, since my arrival a
few hours since, heard an ex-member of Con-
gress from Kentucky declare that the days of
slavery are numbered in that State, as they
are In Maryland. Truths that were but re-
Gently proclaimed in the ear, and perhaps to
escape peril in the confidential ear only, are
now proclaimed on the house-tops. The SIM
pie word freedom has become the rallying-
cry for the people, and the test for politicians
those who strive to stifle it, or to smother il
under compromises, will waste their strength
for naught and in vain.

Latest from Gen. burnside.

CINCINNATI, Now %
The Commercial of this city says:
Z" The withdrawal of the enemy from the
south side of Knoxville is significant of a de-
cided repulse
Gen. Burnside is holding Knoxville under
instructions from Gen. Grant, and it is not to
be supposed, therefore, the forces under Gems.
Thomas, Hooker and Sherman are wasting
their time during these momentous days. We
are hourly in expectation Of receiving intelli-
gence of most important character"
Maj. Gen. Foster has arrived aud will leave
for Knoxville to-day.
Advices from East Tennessee up to eleven
O'Clock yesterday morning are encouraging
At that time firing at Knoxville was heard by
our extreme outposts from Cumberland Gap.
Adj. Gen. Stanley, Of the 18th Kentucky
cavalry, arrived at Cumberland Gap yesterday.
He brings hopeful news of the situation Of
Gen. Burnside. Gen. Burnside was still hold
ing out, and had notified the citizens that he
would certainly hold Knoxville
The rebel force opposing him was estimated
at $4,000.
Knoxville is not closely invested by the reb-
els. The rebels have withdrawn from the
south side of the river, and we forage there.
The artillery firing on the 10th and Goth
was very severe.

sy- Gov. Coburn passed through this city
by the train yesterday noon on his way home
from Gettysburg. Gov. C. informs us that
Mr. Everett was an hour and half in the de-
livery of his Grafton, that he had not the slight
est scrip of paper before him, and from begin
ming to end he secured the undivided atten-
ton of the vast throng, compactly covering
from three to five acres of ground, and that
his voice could be distinctly heard to the
farthest limits of the crowd. The Grafton was
universally considered triumph of eloquence,
and one of the distinguished orators best eff
forts.

The Cruise OF the JunierJif.

NEW DIRK, NOV. H.
The TrilAne's Washington dispatch says
the Navy Department has advices from the
Vanderbilt down to the second or third week
of October, which says the Vanderbilt left
early in the month, Cape OF Good Hope, and
when two days out fell in with Dutch vessel
in disabled condition. 70 save the lives of
forty persons on board, the Vanderbilt took
the vessel in tow, and returned with her to
the Cape, thus losing four days. At last ac
counts she was at the Island of Mauritius and
the Alabama was in the Bay of Bengal. The
captain of the Vanderbilt is believed TO be
well informed with regard to the course of the
rebel pirate.

New YORK, Nov. %.
A Chattanooga letter Of the 18th to the
World, has the following:
Events and maneuvers may bring about
battle, but | doubt it, unless the rebels COLI
centrate all their armies and make desperate
effort to regain East Tennessee, but certain it
is they cannot take the offensive now.
Chattanooga letter to the Tribune of the
18th, states that within twenty-four hours, an
unusual number of deserters have come into
our lines. This morning twelve came in in
one gang. They bring the important report
that the Union cavalry, a few days since, made
raid on the railroad between Bragg's army
and Atlanta, tore up the track in several
places, burnt five important bridges, and so
completely cut off Bragg's supplies, that his
men were without food of any kind whatever
except corn, and not much of that. This
story is repeated by several different parties

New YORK, Nov. 23.
The Times Washington dispatch says an
officer on Gen. Banks staff, writing to friend
in this city, states that large quantity of cot
ton was captured near Brownsville, and expo
ditions had been sent up the river to get all
they could find.
The Union men at Brownsville, who hailed
with delight the capture of the place by our
forces, were forming themselves into defensive
organizations, and rendering valuable service
as scouts. The cotton which will be thrown
into the market by our occupation OF Texas
will amount to 100000 bales The amount
stored on the Rio Grande line is immense
A letter received here yesterday from Will
mington, n. c., says that about the Goth ult.,
three vessels, loaded with Bakely guns, salt
petre, and $4,000 Enfield rifles, succeeded in
running the blockade at that port.
Gen. Butler, in his first walk at Fortress
Monroe, was astonished at meeting a rebel of
flcer looking at parade of our troops. 1t
was Gen. Fitz Hugh Lee. On being told that
he enjoyed the liberty of Old Point, General
Butler sharply expressed his disapproval of
such reprehensible courtesy; the next day
Lee made voyage to Fort Lafayette.

-NOF'
The Herald has the following:
Gen. lockers army, in the Field, Nor. IA,
1868. Reports reach us through the medium
of deserters from the enemy's forces, that the
rebel Generals are preparing for active service
and an extensive move, with view of inter-
rupting or severing our communication with
Louisville, Ky.
During the last ten days the number of de-
serters from the rebel army is surprisingly
large, and what is still more strange, it in
creases every day. At last the enemy, having
lost all faith in their privates, have stationed
commissioned officer at every picket post or
point where it is at all easy for man to de-
sert. The other night sergeant with the
whole of the picket post reported to our
lines.

NEW COUNTERFEIT. - Counterfeit "fives'
on the Adams Bank, North Adams, Mass,
have just made their appearance, and are likely
to deceive the best judges. The vignette and
other engraving of the counterfeit is fac
smile of the genuine, and the only sure way
to avoid being swindled by this counterfeit is
to refuse all bills of the denomination of five
dollars on the Adams Bank.

The new iron-clad steamer Sangamon,
which broke down two or three days since on
the Potomac, en- route for Charleston, was
discovered last night to be sinking at the
wharf. The fire engines were run out, and
after three hours hard labor the water was
sufficiently lowered in her hold to allow the
firemen to build a fire and start the steam
pumps. As the vessel is perfectly new, no
little sensation has been oceasioned, and
commission has been appointed 20 investigate
the circumstances at once.

is reasonable to suppose the appointee will be
taken from the Kennebec valley
sH- Philadelphia editors are the most
modest Of men. We wonder they do not die
of excessive diflidence. The editors of the
Saturday Evening Post, an excellent literary
paper with which we do not exchange, propose
to exchange with us, their two-dollar paper
for ours, or their proposed two-dollar maya
zine Tor our paper, prorided we publish apro-
spectus for them the value of which, as an ad-
vertisement, would be from fifteen to twenty
dollars.
sY-A reader of the Argus has called our
attention to the fact that the leading column
OF that paper is almost daily devoted to lam
entations and complaints because of the dam
age likely to result to negro slavery from the
policy OF the government. We do not wonder
at this Without negro slavery there can be
no such democracy as that paper represents.
Such democracy without slavery like a body
without a spirit, is dead. The soldiers are
burying it.
nV- The use or omission of comma some
times makes all the difference in the world
We referred yesterday, in local item, to
"Rev. c. c. Cone, Methodist, Agent of the
American Bible Society" BY the omission
of a comma, Mr.. Cone was spoken of as the
Methodist Agent, &c. We would not correct
an error so apparently trihing, did it not do
injustice to noble, liberal and prase-worthy
institution. The American Bible Society has
no Methodist or other sectarian Agents, as
such, its Agents being selected without regard
] to sect,
