gYr We have heard of those who preferred
falsehood to truth, and would avail themselves
OF the former when the latter was equally
within their reach. We did not suppose such
depravity existed in this region until we read
in the Advertiser yesterday morning, that "the
Saturdays Press is severe ON the 18th regi-
ment for not stopping longer to defend the
National Capital" The truth is, what might
have been our feelings or our views touching
the action of the 18th regiment, we had said
no word of severity, or that could even be con-
strued into censure. We had only said that
they and the 9th were urgently requested to
"renain few days over time, until their plac-
es could be filed by other regiments" but that
the 25th "did not see fit to accede to the re-
quest thus made" This was the severity re-
ferred to by the Advertiser. We do not pre-
tend to judge, much less censue, the 18th,
though we regretted, as we doubt not large
majority of our citizens dd-as doubtless a
large proportion of that regiment now does
that they did not feel disposed to remain as
requested, and then bring home the acknow-
edgments of the government and the medals
OF honor which, in all future life, would have
been referred to by them with honest pride.

WAS IT THE TACoNY Capt Pierce, of
fishing schooner Atlantic, who arrived at this
port on Thursday last, informs us that on the
morning of June rs, at 2 O'Clock, fifty or sixty
miles to the westward of Cape Sable, Capt.
Charles Pierce, of fishing schooner Greyhound,
of Southport, discovered a vessel on fire and
stood towards her. He came up with her at
s O'Clock, and found it to be bark with gilt
work upon her stern and a yellow billet head,
but too much burnt to show her name. Capt
Pierce succeeded in saving some of the chain
plates, and several pieces of rigging and sails
The topgallant sail had the word Philadel-
pha upon it. An English schooner was along
side, and had saved the jib and jiboom rigging
Before reaching the burning vessel Captain
Pierce saw fishing schooner leave the bark
which he supposed took off the officers and
crew. BY referring to the account of the de-
struction of the Tacony, given in the private
journal from which we have heretofore made
copious extracts, it will be seen that the time
mentioned by Capt. Pierce, and the time that
vessel was alleged to have been destroyed, very
nearly agree, and there can be but small room
for doubt that the burning bark was the Ia
cony and that the fisherman seen to leave her
was the Archer.

The Victory In Pennsylvania.

At last the fortune of war smiles again upon
the brave Army of the Potomac. After
months of sluggish camp life, after the hope
less gallantry of the first assault upon the
heights Of Fredericksburg, after all the bril-
liant manoeuvering which placed the army at
Chancellorvile and the strange msmanage-
ment which lost it the victory after it was
there, at length comes the day of reckoning.
Once more they have met the enemy north of
the Potomac, and once more his flying regi-
ments strew the ground for miles and miles
along their track with all the signs of shame
full rout.
Lee had committed the vulgar fault of I'M
forfeited his claim to be considered great
general For it turns out that this is not an
invasion forced upon him by political exigen-
cies. Mr.. Davis on the contrary sends him
urgent dispatches from Richmond, explicitly
disappearing the whole affair and ordering him
to return. His inroad into Pennsylva-
mia was mere ebullition of pulled up vanity,
nourished by oyermuch praise North, South,
and from over seas. Never speedier or more
terrible fall overlook swollen pride.
The rumors Of yesterday all tended to in
vest the news previously received with new
importance. The captures of men and guns
are confirmed, as already reported. The de-
struction Of Lees pontoon bridges and the
opportune rise of the Potomac, making the
fsrds useless, are circumstances which taken
in connection with the detection of some por-
tion of his troops, the expenditure of his am
munition and the difficulty of procuring SUBJ
sistence, lend plausibility even to the report of
his surrender.
The Portland daily press., 1863-07-07
PORTLAND. ,IuLu GU. 1863.

Mr.. GILMAN:-In your apology to readers,
this morning, you say there is either "gross
fault in the Associated Press agents or in the
telegraph managers west of u.s." Your apol-
ogy should rather be, that you are giving your
readers nearly half a days later ne,cs, as the
lines are kept open until daylight in Washing
ton for the very latest intelligence; for in
stance, on the 4th, you had despatch from
Washington giving news up to a. m. (which
was 2.30 a. m. here,) and the latest from New
York up to a. m, your readers thus obtain
ing news from New York within an hour Of
the time they receive their papers. The
Associated Press and Telegraph Operators
therefore deserve praise for giving the public
the very latest news in these exciting times,
instead Of censure for delay.
Mr.. blanchard Of Boston, writes me in re-
gard to late dispatches: "We are i'll here,
with keeping late hours, but so long as the
rebel invasion and hourly expectation of bat
tie, stirs the public mind, we must submit,
There must however, soon be calm. when we
shall try to close at one o'clock, or soon after
midnight"
Very respectfully yours,
STEPHEN BERRY,
