PROPR HENRI DUCOM
Has Resumed his Lessons.
A Card,

A CilrN.
FJNHE Professor begs to inform the students of the
French language that the next academic year
Will be his last in Portland. II will thus be the last
opportunity offered to them of learning that lam
guage from the only Frenchman now teaching in
the city.
BY the by it must be rather pulling to know who
is the genuine French teacher when Swiss teachers
come out as Partisan teachers, because they have
spent their babyhood in Paris, as if it mattered
much whether q baby be born in Paris or Geneva
Since the baby born in Paris brought in a ten
der age into witzerland the home of his parents
mastered the Partisan pronunciations when he left
France. Where did he acquire it, In what Col
lege did he study and graduate, These are the
queries student ought to make if he wishes to avoid
taking the brogue of the country iii which such
teachers have been brought up and educated. A
thorough Frenchman only can realize the difficulty
of eradicating accent THUS acquired.
The Professor thankfully acknowledges receptions
of sundry notes from his friends expressing their
warm and sympathetic APPROPRIATIONS. sep 9dlm

Gen. Meade,s Head = be Gut on.

Speaking Of the delay Of Gen. MEADE In not
following up LxE's retreatipg army, the Wash
iugton correspondent Of the Journal says under
date Of July l8: aaIsi ts1.lh a5 la1
The President has not hesilsted to utter his
unqualified dissatisfaction with the way the whole
thing has been managed, and we may expect
soon 10 toexpefience the sensation Of another head
Of, and new man ready for the guillotine. "
The head to be taken of 10 that Of Gen.
MEADE, the ''new man" 10 be got ''ready for the
guillotine" is MrADE's successor, who vii! have
to go, according to the Journsps correspondent,
the way bis predecessors In command of the
Army Of the Potomac have all gone, TO the cfd-
oal scaifold. .., alF u
But to sacrifice Gen. MEADE TO radical clam
or, as Gen. MoCLRLLAN was, seems rather hard,
especially since tits confidently asserted and
generally believed that Gen. MEApE rendered
his resignation Immediately after LEES retreat
across the Potomac, and the President refused
to accept it. Bu. the cry is up. and the howl
will not be likely to cease till the President sue.
cumbs and removes MEADE to make room for
another victim.

Enrolling Free Negroes in Kentucky.

The War Department some three weeks ago
issued an order for the enrolment OF free ne
groes In Kentucky as citizens within the pur
view Of the Conscription act. The Louisville
Journal, referring to this order, says:
The illegality, ofensiveness and temerity OF
this order, as We learn, Immediately led to an
earnest femonstrance on the part OF our Slaie
authorities, seconded warmly by General Burn
side and by General Boyle.l In ansWer TO this
remonstrance, the Pfesdent, We understand,
sigpified that the enrolment of the free negroes
in Kentucky was not intended as necessarily
preliminary to the drafting and arming OF tbeml
but might be preliminary to their employment
