frmed by official dispatches. Taree regi-
meuts of cavalry and two of iDlantry are
strongly posted 10 and around the town -
The fact that the rebel expedition is ee-
complished by infantry is a strong indca-
ton that this force is the advance Of large
body, as such troops are not used for ma
raudiog purposes only. After crossing at
Shepherdstown it appears that the enemy
passed through Sharpsburg and Turks

Hagerstown that the telegraph operator

attempt Of one of the leading actors in
that eventful drama thus to stifie con-
science, and to seek to rescue his cocoon
spirators from the recorded verdict of his
tory, and the deserved and inevitable con-

controlling spirits of the Republican party
never meant peace from first to last, at
any time or in amy form, save upon the
one drear and devlish condition Of turn
ing loose upon our land three and half
millions of black semi-b -barbarians under
the specious pretence Of freedom; while in
reality it was only to tear so many of
these poor creatures away from their
homes of comparative happiness and
peace, TO find starvation, misery and
death in an inhospitable cline!
President Lincoln has but recently de-
clarcd, in very definite terms, he will lis
ten to no propositions for peace which
does not include this African millennium,
notwithstanding those plain prohibitions
of all right on the part of the General
Government thus to intervene, which he

In starting the PORTLAND DAILY PREss the
Proprietors were influenced by what they be-
lieved to be a demand of the loyal public senti-
ment of the State, and the generous reception
which it has met with and the unexpected meas
ure of success which has uniformly attended it
thus far, afford the most satisfactory evidence to
the proprietors that they did not msconstrue the
public demand. The Press has been in existence
but one year and a half, and though it was COM
menced with no previous canvassing, and with
the field, to superficial observer, fully occupied
by papers having old associations and honor
able antecedents, yet in its brief history it has
gained a circulation never before attained by any
daily paper in the State, and hold upon pub
lie confidence and respect most encouraging to
the proprietors, and stimulating to their cher
ished desire to satisfy the public wants by max
ing such paper as shall be deemed public ne
cessity by the loyal people of Maine
Though the PRESS has had success far ex-
ceeding the most sanguine expectations of its
projectors, and though comparatively few sub
scribers have been heard to complain of its ac-
knowledged DEFICIENCIES, and few demands for its
improvement have come to the notice of its pro-
prietors, and though it may have been all they
could afford to make it at the past and existing
exorbitant prices of printing materials and stock
and with its present patronage, yet the proprie
tors have long felt that it Is far short of what
leading Journal IN the commercial and financial
center of the State should be; and that the en-
terprise, the wealth, the public spirit and the
asst increasing population Of Portland demand,
and should therefore sustain, such efforts as are
necessary to make paper commensurate with
the growing importance and commanding posi-
ton of their city
The Business of this city should demand much
more space for its adrertisement than her num-
erous merchants and manufacturers have as yet
claimed fOrits accommodation while the great va
rlety and Importance of the enews of the day-For-
eign and Domestic, Civil and Military -imper-
atiyely calls for more attention than the patron
age actually enjoyed by any paper in the State
would justify bestowing upon it, The Proprie-
tors of the Press, reposing implicit trust in the
good sense and the liberality of the people of
Maine, and their willingness to sustain all en-
terprises having for their object the promotion of
our common veal, hope the day is not far dis
tant when they may, with full confidence in sue

From the 18th Maine Regiment.

Pass CAvELLo, TEXAS, Feb. %, "a.
TO the KditorQr the Press;
Nothing of special interest has transpired
here since my last letter to you. We have seen
no enemy and of course have had no fighting
detachment from the 18th and 18th Maine
regiments went up Matagorda Bay few
nights since to surprise a rebel cotton clad
gunboat, but found three instead of one, and
concluded not to surprise her that time. De-
serters are coming into camp almost daily, one
to-day reports that the rebel army above us is
all broken up, the men dsmounted, horses
turned loose and Gen. McGruder gone. The
reason assigned is that Gen. McGruder found
il impossible to get supplies for his men and
horses.
Things remain quiet down the coast TO
Brownsville and above us as far as Indianolo,
oi which our troops remain in peacenble pos
session, but we have made no decided move
ment above that place yet, on that side the
Bay and probably none will be made at pres
sent.
The health Of the Maine regiment remains
good indeed hardly case of sickness has oc-
Cured since we came here and there are but
five in Hospital here and those are old cases
Of chronic disease.
The 18th Maine has completed her re-en-
listment and been mustersd for three years.
How soon we shall get our furIough home we
do not know, but expect 1t in April or May.
The 18th Maine re-enlisted on conaition
they could be changed to Heavy Artillery,
proposition once made to them, but rejected
by them. 1t is feared the whole matter will
fall through, as we arc informed such a change
cannot be made but by special order from
Washington, and l do not think they viii re-
enlist as Infantry.
Fort Esperanzi is well garrisoned and there
seems to be little use In our staying here to
guard this bed of barren sand for don't be-
lieye any one would steal it, and even then
the Gulf Of Mexico would get up another in
three years!
An order has come for Gen. Dana and his
Division, including the two Maine regiments,
TO 60 Immediately TO Brashear City, in Louis
lana, the rebels having been doing some mis-
chief In that vicinity lately as You have doubt
less heard. Several western regiments have
"pulled up stakes to-day, and we shall prob
ably do the same the first of next week il we
can get transportation. Letters and papers
for the regiment should be directed to New
