Sg- One hundred regulars from Fort In
dependence, Boston harbor, were sent up to
Concord - the home of Frank Pierce - on
Monday, to be present at the drafting in that
city, and preventany opposition to the pro-
ceedings. This seems to be u return OF COM
pliments, for Mr.. Pierce, when President, sent

D-We learn that the troubles in New York
were foretold in Bangor several days before
they occurred; that the editor of the Copper
head paper in that city was heard to tell one
Of his friends, that arrangements had been
made to test the power of the Government to
make draft, and that the test would be made
in New York. Who will say that men who
planned or encouraged such a test of the ma
TONS power do not as richly deserve the rope
as the worst type of traitors.
-D-The Bath Times says the Harvest Moon
made her first trip from Portland to that city
in two and half hours running time. This
boat will be of great public convenience, and
will afford the people upon the Kennebec fa-
clities for trade in this city that they will not
be slow to avail themselves OF if they consult
their own interests. We have the authority
al. Al.
Railroad for saying, that Portland affords bet
ter facilities for trade to country merchants,
in most articles demanded by them, than Bos

cE-The Portsmouth IN. H. States and
Union takes the same lachrymose view of the
late Confederate reverses which has been no.
ticed in other quarters. Speaking of the re-
joicings last Wednesday, the Union says,
with all this sad spectacle, at which angels
"weep and Heaven wells its face a large num-
" Der OF the people of Portsmouth can find
I" il in their hearts to engage in a very helot
"jubiiee in our public streets" A "helot ju-
bilee" is rather worse nonsense than anything
which has appeared in the Advertiser.

Deyens Of the U. 5. steamer lIowqua. COM
plains Of the shameful treatment he and his
officers received in Halifax, where he put in
for coal. Three Of the officers went on shore
to arrest and bring back deserter, when they
were mobbed by the citizens, knocked down
and otherwise shamefully treated. As the
vessel left the wharf crowd gave cheer afer
cheer for JEFF. Davis. John Bull will have a
long account 10 settle after the rebellion is put
down, and Jonathan will see that full pay
ment is made with interest compounded.
