Portland. We fear that in many city the
quiet disappearance of a revenue cutter, with
out any suspicious circumstances, would only
have made talk on the first day. On the sec
ond, If anybody proposed action, the Mayor
would have waited for Collector, and the
latter would have telegraphed to Washington
And thus, before anything could have been
done, the pirates, situated like those in COM
mand of the cutter and the Archer, would have
begun and largely executed their terrible
plans of plumber and obstruction. How differ
emily the authorities and people of Portland
met the emergency, we all know, and great is
their reward. Let every community study
their example. 1t only wants the same
promptitude and devotion, everywhere eyinc-
ed, to make a speedy end of this disgraceful
piracy which is now raging along our coast
There is certainly need enough ofactivity, and
we rejoice that the signs Oft are not wanting.

"The Mayor of Portland is trump. Would
''he were in the Navy Department"
The Boston Advertiser concludes brief no.
tice of the capture of the pirates by saying
that " this exploit of the people Of Portland
forms brilliant page in current history"

The SEAsIDE.--It was our good fortune a
few days since to make brief visit to Harps-
well, in some respects peculiar town. The
"Neck," which constitutes the principal por-
ton of the town, is about dozen miles long
and from one to one and half wide, and
contains many excellent farms, and sparkles
all over with evidences of thrift and prosperi-
ty. Harpswell is town without bridge or
a culvert and yet it has excellent roads; has
no lawyers and yet the people keep the peace !;
has few clergyman and yet good works are
respected; has more meeting houses than are
constantly used; has no poor buildings, no
paupers unless made so by accident, no births
except in .well-regulated families, no deaths
except from loss of breath, and few swine ex-
cept those that wear bristles. 1t is famed by
the most balmy breezes, and health and long
life are the rule of human existence. At the
the lower end Of the "Neck," with magnii-
cent view of the broad ocean as well as the
numerous islauds in Casco Bay, is the "Man-
sion House" kept by F. w. DEARBORN, Esq,
who makes it the business of his life to render
pleasant the sojourn of those who go there to

B-On the occasion of the recent pursuit
and capture of the rebels who stole and de-
stroyed the revenue cutter, no man was more
active or evinced more daring than our friend
HALLE, the local editor Of the Argus. He
was one Of the first, upon call of the Mayor,
to volunteer, shoulder his musket and go on
board the Chesapeake; he was one of the
three-Rev. Mr.. Lowering was another-who
volunteered to board the cutter after she had
been fired and deserted, with view to extin-
guish the fames-a proposition SO daring that
it was not backed by sufficient numbers to
justify carrying it into efiect-and he was one
of the trio who, when the cutter was wrapped
in flames and just before the explosion, ap-
preached the burning vessel, cut away her
boat, and brought it off as trophy. Our friend
and neighbor, gallant as were the deeds al
ready recorded, did even more. He Soon
quered his prJudices;" for when the volun-
teers with aportion of Col. Mason's command,
marched up the street escorting the rescued
crew OF the cutter, he was seen in the platoon
with a worthy colored citizen - also a volun-
teer = with eyes front and head erect, the in
carnation of honest pride and conscious patri-
otism. We don't tell this to slur our contem-
porary, but to do him honor, by showing that
his patriotism and zeal for the right, in the
presence of a common foe, are superior to and
overshadow his political prejudices. This is
no discredit to him. jaNHl Ha-

The Array on the sebasticook.

correspondent, who got his information
directly from Mr.. Heard, one of the three men
who arrested the outlaws Grant and Knowles,
last Tuesday, gives substantially the following
account: 8
Officer Mckinney, Of Belfast, was shot in
attempting to arrest the scoundrels Sunday,
and the villains made their escape to the
woods, as already reported, eludng all pur-
suit Monday. Tuesday morning three men,
named jenkins, Myrick and Heard, took a
boat in Detroit and dropped down the Sebas-
ticook river, on the watch for traces of the
fugitives.
After drifting in this way about three miles,
they landed, cautiously following fresh trail
from the bank of the river. They had pro-
ceeded but few rods, when the men they
were in search of sprang suddenly to their
feet in the midst of some tall brakes. uttering
a hideous yell, and Immediately fired, mortal
ly wounding jenkins. The fire was as prompt
ly returned by his two companions, and Grant
fell with severe scalp wound, but immedi-
ately regaining his feet was knocked down by
Heard. who shattered the stock of his rifle
over the rascars head. The two then devoted
their attention to Knowles, and after savage
fight succeeded in tying both him and Grant.
Grant afterwards appealed to Myrick, his
neighbor and old acquaintance, to loosen the
cord, complaining that it hurt his hands, and
protesting that, wounded and helpless as he
was, he would not try to escape. On being
relieved he made an instant and desperate at
tempt upon Myrick's life, and so met his end,
feled to the ground once more by Heard's
riie-barrel, and dying almost instantly. Shot
wounds were afterwards found upon his back
and shoulder, which must have been inflicted
Sunday. Grant belonged to Palmyra. 1t is
said that he had been in the army and twice
deserted. He leaves vile, having been mar
ried few months since.
Knowles was brought in desperately wound
ed, having his fracture Of the skull such as
to expose the brains, besides several shot
wounds. He died on Thursday at his fathers
house in Troy. He had been in the army, but
was wounded and discharged.
Mr.. jenkins was quiet, peaceful citizen,
about thirty-ive years of age. He leaves a
wife, but no children.

Consistency OF the Advertiser.
Sport TO have the engineer
Hoist with his own petar"-


Ofthis sort of pleasure the Advertiser, in
its article on the Congregational Conference,
gives US about as fine specimen as we have
seen for many a long day. 1t praises the Rev.
John o. Fiske, a believer "in the dirine origin
of governments for his abstinence from inter-
ference with things whatever that may mean)
which he illustrated in the direction to render
unto Cesar the things that are Caesars and to
God the things that are God's.n The article
from which this extract is taken seems to be
sufficiently muddy, but we can fish out of it
at least the dictum, that we ought to render
tribute to Caesar, and that Caesar stands for
political governments Now this tribute due
to Caesar happens to be precisely the very
thing that the Conference did render, and
that too not grudgingly but generously and
handsomely, thanking God for his great act.
But perhaps the Advertiser may try to get
out Of this trap of its own setting, by assert
ing that religious men, especially clergymen,
are excepted from the command to render un-
to Caesar his due; that 1t is only laymen and in
fidels that owe allegiance and support to gov
ernments, for in what other way can it
escape?
Another thought Why did not the Adcsr-
tiser belabor Rev. John Q. Fiske for asserting
that the origin of government is divine? The
logic of its article is at swords points with it.
self all along, to be sure. but pray, what right,
according to its own DRIFT, had this man to con-
meet religion with government in any manner
whatever? Besides, does not the notion that
the origin ofgovernment is divine, involve the
idea that "God rules among the nations?
And can any idea be more horrible, per-
nicious and destructive than this? Be impair
tial, Adcertiser, make all the guilty smart.
Once more. Suppose that the Advertiser
should say the fair thing: Suppose if re-
ligion is to let politics alone, that politics
should let religion alone! How would that
work? This at least is certain, that judging
from the ADVERTISERS last attempt to explain
the gospel, it would do much in future to save
its reputation. Nor ORTHODOX.

UNION MEETING IN BRUNswIcK.-Under
the auspices of the Loyal National League Of
Bowdoin College, there was large gathering
of the people in that vicinity at the Brunswick
Depot, on Saturday afternoon. The meeting
was presided over by the President of the
League, who is a son of Senator Bell of New
Hampshire. Hon. Lot NJ. Merrill, of Augusta,
made speech of great power, occupying an
hour and quarter, and was followed by j. T.
Gilman, of this city, who spoke an hour. Both
speeches were well received, and the meeting
appeared very enthusiastic.

"Sch. Julia Frances, Capt Wotton, of Friend

barque's boat, off Seguin, answering the fol-
lowing description "A large barque painted
black, poop deck, heads of masts and ends OF
yards painted black, stern moulding painted
light color. Inquired for Boston papers. Had
been on short cruise. On being questioned
as to where they were from, answered Cape
Sable. Bore North 10 miles distant Friday
morning. Further questioning as to where
they were bound replied, Boston, but would
like TO be in Georges Bank next day. From
the above the Captain thinks this is one Of
the pirates accompanying the Tacony."

- The Wing suggests that the officers Of
the pirate vessels must be in correspondence
with people in our cities, or they would not
know what vessels are in our ports or what
are our defenses. When the number of yes
sells captured is considered, and it is remem-
bered that many Of them are fresh from port,
and all have more or less late newspapers on
board, it seems to us the information referred
to may be accounted for without so unchari-
table supposition as that of the Wing. The
Archer, for example, sailed from Bath june
18th, and probably had on board papers up to
that date. 1t would be well IL masters of ves-
sells should be always prepared to throw over
board all newspapers, when boarded by
pirates.

OF THE REBELLIoN. By Loring Moody.
The repugnance of republicanism and slav-
cry and the tendency of the Shareholders re-
bellion to aristocracy, are two closely related
facts which are now getting to be pretty gen.
orally understood. Nevertheless Mr.. Moody
has done us all service, by collecting in
pamphlet of twenty pages the testimony of
Southern witnesses to these facts, as deliv-
cred over and over again within the last thir-
ty or forty years. The tract is published by
the Boston Emancipation League.

OF its start The proceedings of the American
