REV. J. SMYrHE.-The "North American"
which arrived at this port from Liverpool on
Thursday evening, had on board distin-
guished and successful Temperance orator
from Dublin. We learn that he has been en-
gagged for six months by the american Tenn
perance League" in New York. He is also
spoken of by the English and Irish papers as
q very popular preacher.
Mr. Smythe, by invitation of Capt. Dutton,
who is a total abstinence man, lectured both
In saloon and steerage and 80 signed the
pledge. Not only is the captain a thorough
Temperance man, but also the chief mate,
head steward and several of the crew. The
meeting in the Storage is represented as most
amusing. As the sea was rough, causing the
Packet to roll considerably, rope was drawn
from one side to the other for Mr.. Smythe to
hold ON by, which he did with some consider
able difficulty. The address was listened to
with marked interest and closed with a few
remarks addressed to the French German and
Welsh, in their own languages. Remarks were
made by other gentlemen of deeply interest
ing character.
We learn that Mr.. Smythe will attend the
Temperance meeting on Sunday evening, al
City Hall.

TOUCHING SCENE IN A CoURT-RooM.-One
James Sutherland, who has been on trial at In
dianapolis for several days for killing Roddy
A. Small, was acquitted on Thursday. His
wife and three children were in Court at the
time. After the announcement of the verdict
there followed a scene, says the Indianapolis
Journal, not often witnessed in Courtroom :
"The prisoner that was-a prisoner now no
longer-fell upon his knees, and lifting his eyes
toward heaven uttered an earnest prayer of
thanksgiving and praise to the God whose JUS
tice and mercy have been SO wonderfully
manifested in him. The prayer was irresisti-
bly, eloquent, and when Amen was pronounced
Amen came back in response from every part
of the room, and there were tears in every
eye. All rose to their feet; the acquitted man
advanced and took each juryman by the hand
with fervent God bless you You have
saved an innocent man from shame and dis
grace; you have taken foul stain from my
name. God bless your And to the prosecu-
tor, whose conduct in the case commands ad-
miration from all for fairness and honesty, he
gave a cordial God bless your The old white
haired father, whose firm trust had supported
the son in the dark hours of trial, now melted
in tears of Joy that his boy was acquitted of
guilt, and his own good name remained unfair
nished. The Judge, wiping his eyes of the
tears that had come unbidden, ordered the
Sheriff to adjourn the Court"

Maine Soldiers in Hospital.

To the EditorQf the Press:
The funeral obsequies OF our brave men was
observed on Sabbath z. NJ. at 2 o'clock, and
was highly crcditable to our State. The num-
Der in attencance was large, among whom /
noticed T. c. Hersey, ESQ.,, of your city, weo
always manifests the deepest interest fer
for the soldier, and Col Seaman late of the
9Th regiment. The remarks of Col. Dunnell
were truly eloquent and patrioric. With few
exceptions our men are doing well. Col. Mil
lett sits up little but will not sooD be well.
Col. Harris is doing as well as could be ex-
pected with so severe wound. Field, of
Ellsworth, is sinking and cannot survive long
l fear. Lieut.. Jacobs is doing finely and will
recover. All the rest of our patients are con-
valescent DIR. Baxter is so far recovered as
to be able to walk about the city, but his sur
geon refuses to let him join his regiment. All
are cheerful and happy. Several of our
wounded rebel prisoners have died. Many of
the Others are still with US, iaring precisely as
our own men. Several of them have said to
me, ''If our families were with us you would
never see us again South"

have about fifty wounded Maine soldiers who

From Richmond.

NEW YORK, Nov. 70.
The Richmond Enquirer complains of the
French journals for their repeated assertions
that instructions had been sent to Slidell to
make no concessions and to listen to no dis
cnssion of the subject of slavery, and declares
that no such Instructions had been SENT be-
cause they were unnecessary. Neither Sill
dell, nor the Confederate government, says the
Enquirer, has power to make any concession
or the right to entertain any discussion on any
question relative to domestic institutions
The Confederates have conferred no such pow
er on their Confederate agency. The gang OF
infamous guerrillas, who captured half doz-
en- citizens near Vienna, was made up of young
men of leading families of that part of the
State.

To the Editor Of the Press:
FRYEBURG, Nov. 10Th, 1863.
On Wednesday, the 18th inst, at s.45 p NJ,
fire broke out in the shop owned by John
Evans, the lower rooms being used by Mr.. f.
for his harness shop. Messrs. John Mason
and w. II. Abbott succeeded in securing the
desk, containing books and valuable papers,
although at the risk of their lives, as both were
badly burned. A small amount of leather and
hardware was also saved. The upper rooms
were occupied by II. G. o. Morton as shoe
shop, and the entire contents, including books,
tools and stock were destroyed. The amount
of work on hand was not large, having been
reduced by recent sales. As the fire was be-
yond control when first discovered, the build
ing was soon consumed, and the flames rapid
ly spread to the store of Maj. T. C. Ward, on
ly few feet distant, which, in spite OF the
vigorous resistance of the engine, was burned
down. Nearly all the goods, consisting of
clothing, fancy goods aid groceries, were
carefully removed.
A blacksmith shop owned by l. Warren was
partially destroyed, although still standing.
Maj. WIS entire loss is not far from $3.50;
insurance $500. Mr.. Morton loses $3.50; no
insurance. Mr.. Evans loss is $1,000; insur-
ance only 5000. Both policies in the Gorham
Mutual Company.
The community extend their hearty sympa-
thy to Mr.. Evans in his serious misfortune.
No satisfactory explanation can be given Of
the origin of this fire, but as several buildings
have been recently burned by incendiares in
the adjoining town Of Conway, there are pain
full suspicious that its origin was not acct

CHATTANOOGA.

CHATTANOOGA, Nov. 10.
Deserters from the rebel army are now more
numerous than at any time since the expulsion
of Bragg from Middle Tennessee. The de-
moralizaton of the rebels increases daily. On
the other hand, Gen. Grants army is in splen-
did spirits.
Re-enlistments in the veteran corps are more
numerous than was expected, and it is said on
good authority that not less than four-flfths of
the entire force will re-enter the army for the
new term.

srThe latest instance OF the insane poll
cy of stopping a newspaper because one num-
Der contained an article that was displeasing,
was that OF Miss Sophronia Jones, at the
West, who ordered her subscription to "The
Pioneer to cease, because the editor of the
sheet had not independence enough to refuse
to publish the marriage of her old sweetheart
to Amanda Brooks. 1t was bad enough So
phronia thought to lose her beau, but to have
his marriage to another put in her paper was
more than Western flesh and blood could
stand. She will borrow the paper hereafter of
her neighbor Proctor, and of course will read
the marriage the first thing.
