Major William Knowlton.

The Lewiston Journal gives the following
aotice of Maj. William Knowlton, of the Goth
Maine regiment, who fell at the battle of Win
chester on Monday, 10Th inst.
Major Knowlton entered the service as 1st
Lieut.. OF the lst Maine regiment He served
with that regiment three months, till its term
OF service expired. He soon re entered the
service in the 10th Maine, ia which he served
Gill that regiment completed its second years
Term OF service. He was with that regiment
all its field service, always ready and will
ing to lead his men wherever duty called
When the 29sh Maine was formed he re-enter-
ed the service as Major of that regiment. Since
The 10Th left Morgauzia, Miss. he has been in
command of the regiment, aud bravely lead
ug il to battle for the Union, he met his fate.
Thus with only slight iniermissions Major
Knowlton has been in the service ever since
the war began. Himself with Gen. jackson
promptly at the outbreak of the war profered
heir services to the government, with those
Of the Lewiston Light Infantry, with which
10Th were connected as officers. During Ma
or KS whole term of service, he has been alb

therless aud comfort them And heaven spare

struggle now so near its ultimate success;
success wrung from the best hearts blood of
the Nation.

Wednesday last Henry Bailey, Esq, one Vi
our popular city Auctioneers, was selling out
the furniture of the Central House-an eseao-
lishment the reputation of whicn mas not
been any higher, to speak within oounds' tnah
that of the Continental in Philadelphia or the
Fifth Avenue in New York. A large crowd
was nreseut.-sucha crowd as would natural
lv he drawn together by such a sale; large
nronortion of them wearing the unmistakable
badges of the copperhead party.
Among other articles offered was a large
size framed picture of Mcclellan. "Here,
gentlemen" said the auctioneer, sis likeness
of Gen. Mcclellan" and before he could add
"what am | offered tor it," one of the more
ardent friends of the Gun Boat candidate,
sung out, "the next President of the United
States y twenty-five dollars of that" quickly
responded Bailey, while the McClellanites in
dulged in hurrah, sand challenge any friend
OF Mcclellan to take the bet," but mary" a
one was found who dared risk his money on
sopoor prospect of success.
The bidding commenced and after little
drag the hero of dozen retreats was knock
ed off for "three dollars and an eighth" just
as the hammer fell the owner of the property,
holding up a similar style picture of Lincoln,
came in from an adjoining room, and, taking
the picture Of the tough, sinewy old Grail
splitter" Bailey demanded an offer. The
contest was brief but sharp, and the picture
was knocked off for "three and five eighths"
dollars, leaving Little Mcclellan" where he
always has been. where he will be in Novem-
Der, long distance behind! 1t was Bailey's
turn to laugh now, and doubtless he did it.
Mcclellan was fairly beaten in the house of
his friends,

General Phil. Sheridan.

The Washington correspondent ofthe Chica,
go Journal writes:
Ihad the pleasure, yesterday, OF taking Gene
al Sheridan--little Phi1.-by the hand, whom
had not seen since the morning after he went
Up to Mission Ridge. He looks as brown as
nut and as tough as hickory, and not a degree
Fahrenheit cooler than he looked when he
was hob-nob0ingwith Bragg's battery, and they
ct fly at him the whole six guns, shOwering
lim with earth. But no matter for that, he has
inly made his record, and the rascals were
'anding it. There is no waste timber about
Sheridan-not much of him, physically, but
nugly put to gether. A square face, warm,
back eye, a pleasant smile, a reach of under
jaw, showing that when he will, he will, you
nay depend ont" black hair Trimmed round
Ike garden border no Hyperion curl about
lin any more than there was about Crom wells
lroopers; and altogether impressing you with
he truth that there is about as much energy
'acked away in about the smallest space that
you ever saw 10 your life. Men ranging down
rom medium size TO little, with exceptions
enough to prove the rule, seem to carry the day
among the heroes. Moses was something of
general, but no Falstaff; Alexander the
Great and Peter the Crest were little; Crom-
well was no giant and as for Napoleon-why,
what was he but "the little corporate" Sher-
idan is capital executive officer; perhaps
ne would be hardly equal to planning great
campaign. but Jehu! wouldn't he drive it (!
With good piece of his head behind his ears,
and hardly reverence enough for Mandarin,

Of cavalry, he is indeed chief among ten thou

earnest editorial urging the immediate re-

things saying: -
"Let those who have faith in the Chicago
nominee, lend the aid of their muskets in help
ing on the cause of their faVorites."
The above is directly to the point, and fur
nishes plenary of proof that there is much sym
pathy existing between the rebels at the South
and their copperhead allies at the North. If
that don't mean such bond of union then
our logic is at fault. Will the Argus turn

Late from the Shenandoah Valley.

A letter was received in this city yesterday
from Gen. Bears headquarters, dated Wood
stock, Va, Sept. 23d, A. M. The writer says;
ave had the greatest victory yesterday,
ever heard OF. Though the 10Th corps was not
engaged very heavily, yet we followed up the
victory all night, coming here this forenoon,
and shall probably move on again in few
hours. The rebels are completely routed and
disorganized. They didn't fight at all, but
run like towards. During the night in fol-
lowing up, we had exciting times. am so
sleepy and jaded that l can hardly do any
thing, but am willing to run myself down to a

land, were slightly wounded on the 22d."

TRIBUTE TO GEN. SHERIDAN.-The Toronto
Globe says: seen. Sheridan is model. Not
only does he win battles, but his victories do
not lose their importance on the reading of
the second account of them. His dispatches
are plain variations of what he has done, and
not grand prophecies of what he will do. But.
best OF all, when he gains an advantage, he
understands the importance of following it
up.n The above is all true, but then its gen.
eral tenor squints rather hard towards our
egnnboat general" No, the modest, persever-
ing Sheridan does not say he will 'drive them
to the wall" or show his pomposity in initial
ing Napoleon the First in his dispatches as the
"Great Hesitator" has done in several instan-
ces. The first Napoleon knew how to fatter
the French soldiers, and the Young Napole-
on has attempted to follow in the footsteps Of
his iIlustrious predecessor, but "what falling
Off 1t is sickening to run such a parallel
We must leave that for the copperhead jour
mails to do.

WHAT THE SOLDIERS THINK.-The follow
ing is from an officer in gallant Phil. Sheridan's
army:
"We can soon close the war if you will send
us men and sympathy-men to fight the rebels,
and sympathy to make us forget, il possible,
that there are men at the North who would
rob us of our laurels; men who would have us
bend our necks to rebels in arms, and grant
them, and even propose to them, in face of all
our successes, an armistice! Fight against
the copperheads-crush them-and by so do
ing you will greatly encourage the army, and
make us perfectly sure of success, and that
speedy one."
Such are the sentiments of brave officer,
who has periled his life on the battle fields in
behalf of his country and its government, and
assisted in winning two glorious victories
within week. Let us be true to our brave
boys, as they are true to the Union and the
flag.
DECENTRALIZATION OF EARLY's TROOPS
The New York Worlds correspondent, writ
ing from Sheridan's army after the rebels were
routed at Fishers Hill, says:
Where Early will again make stand, God
only knows; for his men are now in no condi-
tion to encounter our victorious troops, who,
elated with the brilliant success of the past
four days, could whip more than double their
number of the enemy. The degree of demon
alization at which Early's command has arriv-
ed, may be judged from the following facts =
Amongst 1900 prisoners captured in Thurs
days fight, was rebel colonel commanding
brigade. When brought in, he threw down
his sword at the feet OF the provost marshal,
exclaiming: The Confederacy is gone to
hell; the men won't fight any more; neither
will II"
