Portland. Maine. June q


The United SSs.ves revenue cutter, which,
as We reported this morning, was run out Of
ibis hqrbor, and pursued by two steamers,
it is now ascertained, apparently cam to
anchor and took in sail, and soon after
was discovered to be on fire. AT twenty
minutes past two o'clock she blew up with
a tremendous report, and nothing OF her is
now visible. From the observations It is
supposed she was blown up by the crew,
The steamers are returning.
Portland, Me, June 27-P. M.-The
crew of the cutter Caleb Gushing, seem to
have escaped, before she was blown up, in
boats probably to a schooner near by, as
the Forest City chased one down towards
Green Island, caught her, and is towing
her in. The Forest City had only twelve
Founders, and the Chesapeake only six
FOUNDERS, but their intention was TO run
the cutter down at once, as they were no
match for her thirty FOUNDERS.
Portland, June 27,--6 P. M.--Captan
Lescomb, Of the Forest City, says he came
within gun-shot of the Cushing half an
hour before the Chesapeake came along.
The Cushing fired at the Forest City SIX
times without showing any flag whatever.
The Forest City then laid to, waiting for
the Chesapeake to como up. When the
Chesapeake arrived, after consultation, it
was agreed to board the Gushing. The
Chesapeake took the lead in this, being
propeller, and also being protected by cot
ton bales. The rebels perceiving the in-
tentions of the Chesapeake and Forest
City, became frightened, and abandoned
the Gushing in two boats, and sen. of 2
third boat, with the regular crew, whom
they had placed in irons. This last boat
was almost Immediately picked up by the
Chesapeake. The other two boats, with
the rebels aboard, steered for Harpswell
shore, and were pursued and picked VI by
The Forest City. The rebels proved to be
twenty-three in number

Archbishop Hughes on the War.

At the dedication Of st. Teresa's Church,
New York, on Sunday, Archbishop
Hughes preached the sermon. Ia the
course of his remarks, he thus alluded to
the national crisis.
This is neither the time nor the place for
me TO enlarge upon the events which have
SO broken up the unity of the Christian
church. Nevertheless, it SHOULD be the
prayer of every good man that the human
race might be, somehow or other, even mi
raculously, restored to peace and brought
to rest on the rock of ages. so that "the
gates Of hell shall not prevail against them.
We might pray to God, by some means
that it is impossible for man 10 penetrate,
to bring our unhappy affairs to some con-
cluslon-to end the effusion of human
blood. That is legitimate PRAYER. Though
no one can say that even in that case here
would not be prayer on both sides If the
line-one praying against the other. We
can only hope that out Of His mercy for
both sides of the line, for the whole coun-
try, He, in His all-wise and a.l-powerful
providence, will bring about the peace and
prosperity Of this people.
These thoughts have just entered my
mind on the present occasion, and | hope
that in all our endeavors we will not forget
our deyotions at the altar-praying, | viii
not say for peace, which appears at this
moment ridiculous, since there is only one
side which can give peace, and the other won't
have it. We may pray the Almighty e
bring matters to a conclusion. One side
can make war. but il requires two to max,
peace. and it appears that there is only ont
sije nov that wants it. We had peace
once. They did not preserve peace. Now
it il one party that is for peace. The 9th
err s,orns it. 10 that state ofthe case what
prospect is there for peace?

From letter TO the Indianapolis Journal
We have all read great deal Of cable
talk" and have found some of it very spicy
and amusing, but I doubt whether any
would prefer il, refined as it is, to the
"picket talk" before Yicksburg. Our lines
are within few hundred yards Of those Of
the rebels, and. as rayine iuteryenes, it is
necessary to throw out pickets on the side
of each hill to prevent the possibility Of
surprise. BY mutual consent neither side
fires on the others guards; and, as they
cannot fire leaden ones, they amuse them
selves by shooting pithy wordy bullets at
each other. With the two armies as an
audience, they keep up the noisy battle the
whole night through. Here are some spec
linens:
Federal pickett say, Secesh, have
you anything to eat over there"
Secesh-"Plenty.'
Federal What's the use Of lying now !;
come over and get cup Of coffee"
Secesh-"Confound you, come over and
get Vicksburg."
Federal found that stumper.
Another:
Hello, Yanks, why don't you
make another charge ON u.s."
Federal-"It's against our principles to
charge on prisoRers3'
An Irishman on duty the other night
was tainted by tie rebels about the non
explosion of orr shells, when shell from
the 10th Ohio Battery burst Immediately
over the loquacious Secesh.
"Blast ye," cried the hishman, "stick
that in your hayersack and stop your jaw"
10 this elegant speech no answer was
returned.
Quite an excitement was raised few
nights since by a deep-voiced private in our
rifle pits calling out as follows:
"Attention, battallonl Order arms
Fix bayonetsl Shoulder annsl Charge
bayonetsl Forward, double-quick." Just
at this juncture an entire volley Of musket-
~ from the rebels greeted our pits. It was
dark, and they thought charge was being
made. As soon as the report Of the dis
charge had died away, our hero cried out
as if to a regiment:
"Why are you wagering there! For
ward say foraOard|
Another yolley came rafting over their
heads, when, having carried the joke far
enough, the boys fell to shooting at the ex-
cited rebels, and ceased only when the pick
cts were put out.

A CAUTION TO CATHoLIcs.-The Cath
Ole Telegraph, Of Cincinnati, conducted
under the direct supervision Of Bishop Pur-
cell, thus cautions the Catholics of the West
against being inyeigled into disloyal OIL Sc
ditious practices:
as II WISE ?-Some Of our Catholic
journals in the East are now engaged in a
strange work. First, advocating the per-
petuitY Of slavery, the greatest wrong that
one man can do unto another; second ex-
posing tbe powers that be- to contempt,
and inviting the people to disobedience
third, encouraging resistance to law; and
fourth, giving aid and comfort to those in
rebellion against the constituted authorities.
Do our friends suppose that these things
will be forgotten. or that the Church will
not be made to suffer for their invectives
These journals have prophesied that when
the South has been yanqushed Catholics
will be the next victims. Is this the way
to avert the eyii? Is it not rather treas
uring up wrathg We hope, indeed, that
our antieipalions may prove groundless
but We fear much that they will be sadly
realized"
