MCCLELLAN's ACCEPTANCK.-Ab omb-shell
thrown into the ranks of the Breckenridge de-
mocracy here could not have created more con-
sternation than McClellan's letter Of accep-
lance Of his nomination, in which he repudi-
ates the Chicago platform, and asserts that the
Union is the only condition Of peace.
The fact that the Mcclellan flag is not dis.
played to- day from the Democratic headquar.
tiers has led some to believe that the Breckin.
ridge democracy here propose to repudiate
Mcclellan, but those better informed say that
they will probably conclude to gulp down the
Mcclellan platform letter in view OF prospec-
tive loaves and fishes.
Dispatches from the West, however, say that
the peace Democracy there are furious over
the letter, and that there is every prospect of a
bolt on the part Of the Vallandighamers.

DANCING AND Naturalization is
called to the announcement elsewhere in re.
gard to the dancing and Waiting academy of
Prof Kreis, at Temperance Hall. The interest
created by the admirable performances of his
pupils at his last May ball is yet fresh in the
memory OF many of our readers, who will need
no recommendation OF him q teacher. To
others we may say that he has no superior in
the country as teacher, and that his repertoire
of new and fashionable dances is unsurpassed
in variety, freshness and beauty. Among these
are some exceedingly beautiful and graceful
polkes, maZurkas, schottische marches, and
polacca quadrilles. His school will be largely
attended without doubt.

which was ended by the arrest Of the Madame

SENT TO HER OLD QUARTERs-Yesterday a
colored girl named Emma Jane Reardon was
arrested by officer Ashton in Cowtown, on the
Island, for being drunk and dsorderly and
using abusive language towards every one she
came in contact with including the officer who
cooled her off. On arriving at the station she
was refreshed with a shower bath She is
age, and yet during the past Is months she has
paid six or eight visits to the workhouse, and
She now CLAIMS that she has right there and
it in part belongs to her. This morning she
was committed to her old quarters which she
only left yesterday morning, and as she left
the station she seemed quite proud Of her COM
mitment.

LARCENY CAsEs.-Yesterday, Geo. u. Bla.
ker was arrested upon charge Of stealing q
horse from Ignatius Bond, colored. The horse
claimed her as his property, taken from HIM at
Culpeper in 1862. Justice Clayton decided
that taking the horse from the common was not
stealing, and ordered the horse to be delivered
to Bond, and dismissed the case.
Yesterday afternoon, Thomas Howard, q
fruit pedlar, was selling watermelons from
his wagon, and went into house in Hooker's
Division to deliver a melon, where he lost his
watch. A soldier named Edw'd Nolan was
arrested, and the watch was found upon him.
Justice Clayton committed Nolan to jail for
court.

Grants Coffee and Spice Mills.

This establishment is located on Union
street, nearly opposite the Manufacturers
Block. Mr.. j. Grant the proprietor, COM
menced business in this city some twelve ears
ago and had got well established when his
buildings were nearly destroyed by fire. Not
disheartened by this misfortune, he immedi-
ately rebuilt in neat and substantial man
ner, and now has everything admirably adap-
ted to the work. His buildings are so located
that be can obtain all the power required to
run his machinery from the machine works of
Mr.. Ira VIM.
Mr.. Grant is constantly putting up and
sending off coffee Of the different qualities,
from~the pure unauthorized Java, to that
which he will not warrant TO be unmixed, but
il is sold proportionately cheap. Those who
want pure article can have it by paying the
price; which at these times admonishe.
the economical that they should use it spar
ingly.
Orders are received by this establishment
from all parts of the State and from Msssa-
chusetts, for the various articles put up,
which comprise spices OF all kinds, cream
tartar, saleratus, &c. Some ten or twelve
hands are constantly employed in putting up
these articles in packages and boxes and
getting them ready for market. Our whole
interest to encourage home industry SO long
as good articles can be obtain ed here as cheap
ly as elsewhere.

Portland Palm Leaf Mandatory,

This branch Of industry has been carried
on so quietly in our city that but few have
been aware OF the extent of its operations
The business was commenced about two
years ago by Messrs. DAVIS, BANTER & Co,
the finishing department of which is in the
third and fourth stories of their large whole
sale establishment, on Free street.
The sheets from which the various articles
they manufacture, are made, are woven in
small hand-looms constructed for the purpose
in Gorham, Buxton aud Standish. The mate
rial is obtained in Cuba and is of the best
quality. The sheets are brought to the city
and, under the management of Mr.. ID. L.
Nash, who has charge of that department, are
shaped, finished and got ready for market
Messrs. Davis, Baxter q Co. are now getting
out about 5000 palm leaf Shaker Hoods a
month, besides hats, mats, &C., of the same
busy season, to about 100 persons. These
goods find ready sale in alI our large cities
where there is a constantly increasing de-
mand for them. The quality of the various
articles manufactured by this firm will COM
pare favorably with that Of the fabrics from
any other similar establishment in the coun-
try.
Messrs. d., b. & Co. are extensively en-
gagged in importing French, English and Ger
man goods, one of their firm having been in
Europe the past season. They rank among
our most enterprizing business men, who
apply themselves closely and constantly 10
the various enterprises in which they are ell
gagged.

WASHINGTON, May IL.
To Mqj. Gen. Dir dispatches IRON the
Army OF The Potomac have just reached here,
bringing dates to . o'clock p. NJ. yesterday

had carried the first line of the rebel rifle pits
There had been heavy skirmishing during the
day. Our waunded had reached Fredericks-
burg, aud during the night some of our wound
ed were brought to Washington.
The Surgeon General reports that ample
supplies and nurses, surgeons and medical
stores have gone forward.
There has been nothing heard from Gems.

Bmtler,s Operations.

New YORK, May IL.
The Tribune's dispatch, dated Gen. Buffers
Headquarters, Monday, May 9th, via Fortress
Monroe Tuesday 10th, says:
Gen. Buffers force advanced to-day upon
the enemy, crossed the Petersburg l. Rich
mond Railroad, and advanced by Swift Creek
within two miles of Petersburg.
Gen. Hickman's brigade made a splendid
charge during the evening from their rifle
pits, but were checked in their advance by a
square earthwork this side Of Swift Creek.
Our right, under Gen. Toney, advanced up
the Richmond Road, driving a small force OF
the enemy in that direction, thus separating
Beauregard's forces.
Gen. Gilmore, with part of the 10Th corps,
tore up the railroad efiectually.
Our colored cavalry went within one aud
halt miles Of Fort Darling. and found some
infantry and artillery, but not in strong force.
Gen. Butler was on the field in person, and
had his headquarters at Blackwater Creek.
The Portland daily press., 1864-05-12

And now that his tea has been drank, the
other cheer for which he can hardly express
his thanks sufficiently, must be lodged in his
haversack, for wagon whose driver has been
prevailed upon to take him on board, is wait
ing. With grasp Of the hand and such a
"God bless you" as thrills the heart all thro',
he parts from his friends and goes on his way
If not rejoicing, at least refreshed and COM
forted.
A naval officer, when asked what moment
of an engagement is the most solemn, replied,
that. when the sand is sprinkled upon the
decks TO drink up the blood that is not yet
she'd" Somewhat like the sprinkling of the
sand seems the preparations at the hospitals
before each battle, 10 receive the CHASTITY
wrecks of men now in the 1ower and strength
of their manhood. Though the sharp, hot
sting, the binding, stunning shock, or the
horrid cash, have not yet been inflicted or en-
dured though death has not yet begun his
awful carnival, yet preparations 60 on as quiz
city and with as much systematic calculation
as If they were only for dinner party; and
the sight may well give one strange sensa-
ton, at least for the first few times it is wit
messed. The arrival of the sick from the reg
mental hospitals at the front-an invariable
precursor of movement OF the army-is
speedily more than counterbalanced by send
ing North all who can be moved safely
Tents are pitched, rations are cooked, deli
cacies are prepared, lint, splints, and bandages
are got in readiness.
The first days of last week were days OF
profound suspense at the Capital. Then it
was known that the army was moving, and at
length, on Saturday, we had reports of fight
ing, but vague, conflicting and unsatisfactory.
Sunday, day of intense heat, wore away in
ed rather than allayed by such reports as
were furnished. The evening passed rather
slowly at the rooms OF the Young Mems
Christian Association where, stretched upon
the floor, with tough and ponderous volumes
under their heads-pillows little softer, but
doubtless about as indigestible as the patri-
arch's-a party awaited the arrival of the
wounded. The Christian and Sanitary Com
missions were of course on the alert At
length from the contradictory reports coming
hourly from the telegraph Office and else
where, it could be deduced pretty certainly
that the wounded would not arrive before
morning, and we walked home in the cool
midnight.
MondGy.-More news and better, but still
less explicit than we could wish. The wound
ed have not yet arrived and it is even said
they will be sent elsewhere by water. So the
piles of oranges and the barrels OF lemonade
and milk punch, that have been awaiting them
for the last twenty-four hours, will not be
wanted. May God send kind hearts and eff
icient hands to the help of our suffering he
roes, wherever they may be. There seems to
be no doubt that the victory remains with our
army thus far, but more than this we hardly
know. Dispatches to the New York gold OPP
orators respecting my rifles death" aud
"Juiids illness" are said to have been for
warded this afternoon. And so upon the city,
cheerful and joyful, though still anxious, the
evening closes in. T. s.. p.

NEW YORK, May IL.
A letter dated "1n the field, May 10, o'cl'k
A. NJ" says: LAST night, about II o'clock,
the rebels in front OF Gen. Warren's corps,
made an assault on a line OF rife pits hastily
constructed. Our men gave them a yolley and
fell back for the purpose OF drawing them on
TO a second liue. The ruse was successful,
and as the rebels advanced they wefe recev-
ed by destructive fire which drove them
back in disorder, but flsding our men still re-
firing, they followed them up aud charged on
our third line. Here the whole line gave them
such raking fire rs almost to demolish them,
aud springing after them, charged and drove
them back in confusion. The rebel loss is
very heavy, while our own was light. We
took number of prisoners"

NERIrAs ODIUM PART. -" Truth begets
hatred" is an old adage, and we have found
yeriication of the statement in the manner in
which the Advertiser of yesterday responds
to our truthful criticisms upon the course Of
its reasonable editor, of a few days previous.
1t contained nearly column Of the lowest,
vilest personal slang, bnt we do not complain
for IT was really refreshing compared with the
almost constant flow of disloyalty which fl
tiers through the columns of that sheet. 1t
was much less offensive TO the patriotic reader
ii il has any OF that class left-than the gen.
eral drift of that editors leaders. We feel no
reg ret at having saved the Union cause one
days assault, though the blows which other
wise would have been dealt at it, have been
aimed at our own head. Better. infinitely
better, for the venomous shafts OF that
masked battery to be aimed at an individual
than be turned against the nations heart. We
will not complain though he give his readers
such mixture of shell broth" every day in
the week, If he will only spare loyal men the
reflection that, in the midst of their city is an
organ of rebellion and treason more veno-
nous and spiteful than those OF Charleston or
Richmond.
So far as the Press is concerned We feel
we have long ielt--under deep obligations 10
the editor Of the Advertiser for what he has
done - though unwittingly = to secure It's
growth and prosperity. He took the Adver-
tiser with two thousand daily subscribers and
in the brief space Of less than two years he
has driven them all off except less than four
hundred The great bulk of these have been
driven into the support Of the Press, and OF
course zee have no personal reason TO COM
plain. OF the small handful left on his list,
those not totally lost to all the proprieties of
patriotism are going over to the Argus, which,
alongside of the Advertiser becomes very
respectable and patriotic sheet
