General Buffers Plan.

On the 18th of July great Union meet
ing was held at Concord, New Hampshire, at
which Major General Butler made long
and patriotic speech. The following is the
closing paragraph, and gives us Buffers
plan of closing out the rebellion:
First, drive out the military power that
now holds the States, the fve hundred thou.
sand men there. Drive out the leaders; send
them to Mexico, if you choose, to make a
portion of Louis Napoleon's army send them
anywhere; get rid of them. Ny friends,
there are too. many Of them to hang; we
have right to hang them. but many things
tlat are right are not expedient. Send them
away; get rid of them extinguish them so
far as the land is concerned. 1t must be so /;
because we could not live with them in peace
when they were friends and can we live
with them as enemies? And when that is
done, and loyal men ask to come into the
Union to become portion of this great EN-
pire, we can admit them precisely as we have
admitted Western Virginia, and as / hope
we shall soon do Louisiana. Having got rid
OF those men who assume to be leaders, we
can reconstruct the Union, and my word for
it, my friends, bear with me or against me,
as the case may be in the future, in that
way only is there to be any reconstruction
of the Union. And when the nation is re-
constructed, when its laws are extended over
all that great territory again, when instead
Of having our attention diverted and driven
now as it is TO the question of war, we can
bring the whole energy of the public mind
and the whole talent of the public statesmen
of the country to this question, then will be
the time when we can deal with and settle,
in the providence of God, to our satisfaction,
and to His, this great question of what is to
be done with tho African race. Before that
time, in my judgement, it is of little conse-
quence to speculate upon the negro question
in any shape. Drive Lee and his myrmidons
away from tie gates of the capital, and then
look after the African. You see / am end
ing as began. end the regellion, and get rid
Of the suspension of habeas corpus; end the
rebellion and get rid ofmilitary arrests; end
the rebellion and get rid of military power /;
end the rebellion and become re- united end
the rebellion and then settle tte question Of
the African. Let me bn understood |
think it is best-if it is the best way to use
the African for the purpose of getting rid of
the rebels use him. But deal with him not
as the end but as means, not as result but
as an instrument in our hands-placed there
by God, for the protection of this country in
this hour of her peril "

A Remarkable Case.

The celebrated female hound, Of pure En-.
glish blood. recently owned by j. W. Hode-
kins of Dexter, with her adopted family VI
five young foxes, have been purchased by a
gentleman of Bangor, and are on exhibition
at No. Is, Main street.
Mr.. Hodgkins, on the Sth of last April,
was out on a short hunting expedition with
this hound. She soon struck the trail Of a
fox, and drove it into its burrow. She rush
ed in after the fox, dragged it out and killed
it, thus gratifying the strong instructive pas
sion of her blood and race, to run down, over
come and destroy her adroit aud cunning
enemy. Mr.. lIodgkins came up just as,
leaving her lifeless victim, she was about to
plunge again into the burrow, when hearing
the whining cry of young foxes, he restrain
ed and prevented her. He opened the bur
row, took out five little foxes and put them
into his pockets. They screamed bitterly
from fear and for the loss of their dam.
In a moment the hound seemed to compre-
hend in their pitiful condition, and the fact
that she had been the cruel cause of it. She
threw herself upon the body of tie dead fox,
embracing it with her legs, rubbing it with
her nose, as if trying by every means in her
power to restore her to life ard her bereaved
young. Finding this impossible, she eage
ly and forgetful of everything else, followed
Mr.. Hokgkins home, keeping as close as she
could to the young foxes. Suspicious that
her natural appetite would triumph and impel
her to destroy them, be chained her and kept
her separate from them. But she was so ex-
cited and grieved, that his children, ignorant
of the cause of her suffering and pittying her,
let her loose; and, 10! springing into the
kennel where they lay huddled together, she
carressed and nestled down among them as
if they had been her own progeny. Her I'D
der had been dry fer more than year but
soon the milk flowed freely. and she has since
sucked, nourished and protected them with
most affectionate tenderness and care.
Concious that, by her own wanton cruelty.
she had bereft them of their dam, she at once
determined to fill her place and be to them
all that the former could have possibly been.
And well has she done it. As she fondles
them, and they in turn, jump and sport up
on and around her, her large, mild, iDtelli-
gent eyes express the consolation she feels in
making all the recompense in her power for
the injury she had done them, and in seeing
them so playful and happy.
1t is a rare sight-too rare to be forgotten.

IHE REBEL ARAY.-General Meade sends
to Washington thirty-one of the regimental
battle-tags captured at the last battle of Get
tysburg. Thirteen of these were taken from
Virginia infantry regiments, four from North
carolina regiments, two from Georgia regi.
ments, one from an Alabama, one from a
Mississippi and one from Florida regi:
ment, and nine were from regiments whose
States were not known. These facts, and
many others that have appeared from time
to time, go to show that the bulk of Lees
army is made up of Virginians and North
Carollnians. The greater part of the rebel
army OF the Southwest, comprising the regi
ments raised in the States Of Mississippi and
Alabama, and the States west of the Mississ.
ippi river, has been captured as prisoners of
war BY Generals Grant and Banks. The ar.
my. OF General Rragg is composed mainly of
regiments from Tennessee, Georgia and Ken
tucky. with others from the Gulf States bu.
large part of the Tennesseeans and Ken
tuckians deserted lately when he fell back
into Georgia. All the rebel armies are in G
very bad way at present.

DRAFTING THE CATHOLIC CLERGY.-In Pitts.
burg, last week, three of the Catholic clergy
of that city were drafted. The congreatin
of the church with which they were con.
nected-St. Paul's Cathedral-immediate
met to consider the case. After the meet.
ing was duly organised, the Rev. Father
McMahan rose and addressed those assem-.
bled. He said that. whatever opinion might
be entertained in regard to the non. exemp.
tion Of the cergymen from the draft, it vas
the law. He believed that the draft was con.
Quoted in just and and honorable manner.
and it was our duty to give willing
support to the Government. But the
law of the Catholic Church forbids their
clergy taking up arms in defense Of any
government, and if they did so they would
be incapacitated from exercising the duties
OF the priesthood. After further. remarks
from members of the congregation, il YVES
resolved that money should be raised to
procure the exemption of the clegymen, and
the sum of one thousands dollars was sub.
scribed in a few minutes.

Quaking.

The rebels begin to have vivid giimpses Of
& the situation,n since the fall of Eicksburg
and Port Hudson, the defeat of Lee. and the
nearly successful assault upon Fort Wagner,
which the Charleston Mercury says is the key
to Charleston. That paper of the l4th July,
says:
I" 1t appears to us useless to attempt to dis.
guise from ourselves the situation. By whose
fault we got into it, is vain now to inquire,
the Yankees have gotten possession of the
southern half of Morris island There is but
one way to save the city of Charleston. and
that is, the speedy and unfinching use of the
bayonet. If the fight on Morris island Is to
he now fought by engineering and cannon
merely, the advantage is with the enemy.
With their iron clads on water, and their
men in occupation of the land, it is likely TO
become question of time The fall of Fort
Wagner ends in the fall of Charleston. Fort
Sumter, like Fort Wagner, will then be as
sailed by both land and sss, and the fate of
Fort Pulaski will be that Of Sumter. Gen.
Gilmore, Commander of the Department, is
the man who reduced Fort Pulaski"
The Mobile Advertiser says:
The Confederacy has seen darker DAYS
and emerged from them. 1t is not dark
enough to justify the prudence of those who
are ready to submit and anxious for peace
and security of their property on basis of
submission, to show their hands yet There
have been signs of this white feather futter.
ing during the past few gloomy days. Let
US warn them that it is base to feel and dar.
gerous to be premature in utterance of such
sentiments. The land has made too many
sacrifices for its freedom to falter at the last
hour. The timid and faithless must not be
allowed to falter in the footsteps of revolu-
ton it must roll on in triumph, although ity
wheels have to roll over them and their for.
tunes"
The Columbia (Georgia) Sun says
The people Of the Confederate States will
soon be called upon to undergo a severe tri.
al, one that will fully test the sincerity of
professions heretofore made. We cannot es-
cape the ordeal. The time for trying mems
souls is not far distant. Many, we fear, will
