ABDUCTION OF YOUNG GIRL-Among
the passengers of the steamship Damascus,
arrived at this port Monday morning from
from Liverpool, was a family bouad to
Hamilton, Canada West, named Cooper, one
of whom was pretty girl about fifteen years
of age. She was left by her father in the
store house Of the steamship, while he went to
the depot to make arrangements for their pas
sage to Canada. On returning to the store
house the girl was missing. Some converse
ton had been overheard between the girl and
two young men who had been passengers in
the steamer, in which the latter were trying
TO persuade her to go to St. John with them,
and these men were arrested by Deputy Mar
shall Wentworth on suspicion of being con-
nected in the plot for her abduction, but they
were afterwards discharged.
The mother of the girl suspected an officer
who came over as passenger in the ship, as he
had been very attentive to her daughter dur
ing the passage, and she declared to the City
Marshal her belief that he knew all about
where her daughter was, and that he had
taken or caused her to be taken way. This
man whose name is Mcdonald, was arrested
by the City Marshal last evening, and those
who had been first arrested and discharged,
were re-arrested. On being taken to the lock-
up, Mcdonald said the girl was safe, but re-
fused to give any information as to where she
might be found. He also said he could pro-
duce her in twenty minutes.
r. uaald fhov brn+ad ~ baol~ Irs,-o.
who had been seen to carry a man and girl
from the depot. The driver hung back from
giving any correct information until he was
threatened with being taken to the lookup
he then acknowledged that he had taken the
girl and man to the Portland House on Green
street.
On applying at the Portland House Marshal
Head found that the girl had been there-her
name being registered with McDonald's as
Mrs. Mcdonald. But after the arrest of the
Captain one of his associates had removed her
to the Cumberland House, on the same street
There she was found, her name registered as
Mrs. Mcdonald, and her expenses for two or
three days paid. She was removed to the
lodging rooms of the Police Office late at night
and this morning win be restored to her anx-
ious parents.
The girl stoutly declares that she will yet
have Mcdonald. He is a regular John Bull
and undertook TO set at defiance the City
Marshal, but he iound that officer his match
and was speedily lodged in cell, where he
had good opportunity to ruminate during the
night. When he goes back to the old country
he can have the pleasure OF relating, if he
chooses, one nights experience in the Port
land lookup.

NOT DEAD, BUT A PRlsoNER.--Charles D.
Kimball, private in the 18th Mass. Regiment,
son Of Mr.. William E. KimbalI of this city,
was on picket duty June 4th, when skirmish
ensued in which one or two of our pickets
were killed and some eight or ten were miss
ing, among the latter of whom was Kimball.
All of the missing ones were subsequently
heard from except Kimball, and he was given
up, as one dead, by his parents.
Yesterday his father received letter from
Edwin A. Wallace, who left the rebel prison
camp at Millen, Georgia, Nov 10th. He
writes that he left young Kimball there in good
health. He had been taken prisoner and
transferred from one point to another without
an opportunity to advise his parents or friends
OF his safety. 1t is to be hoped that he, with
all the others, has been released by Gen. Sher-
man before this time.

Amiable in Death.

The swan, it is said, never sings until DEATH
struck. 1t passes away in strain of its own
music-the only music it ever utters. Not
unlike the swan, in this regard, was the Bel
fast Journal. For years it has been 90 in
tensely metallic that all its efforts to pitch
political tune have invariably ended in hiss
We say this not Extensively, for we recognize
the wisdom of the proverb, ode naortuis NIL
nisi bonum;"-of the dead say nothing but
good.
The journal, though politically it out-Her-
oded Herod himself, was nevertheless an able,
talented, racy sheet, and outside Of its legiti
mate sphere it was genial as it was juicy. In
its death the ruling passion was strongly ex-
hibited, and it burst forth in song and jollity,
as follows:
"Our brethren of the press will have some
thing to say of our editorial decease. doubt
less. While we existed in the flesh we crayed
no indulgence, but were ready to be smild
with the mild-with the froward fierce as
fire. But now that we are dead, let them
deal tenderly with cur memory. In the Ian
guage of the mistaken gentleman of the play /:
Speak of me as ann nothing eztenuate,
Nor aught set down in maice.'
Remember, gentlemen, that the times are
precarious, and it is hard to say for whom
next the knell may ring. We hope to bear
with us into our other pursuits the kindest
memories of our contemporaries in this. If we
can do so, we shall sit down to our funeral
baked meats with as good relish as the best
of them. There be those, undoubtedly, who

CROSSING THE ArLASuc.-we have heard
It stated that among the passengers by ship
recently arrived here from an English port,
was the wife OF the Captain who had now
completed her fitch passage across the
Atlantic ocean, beside having twice doubled
Cape Horn. In this connection it may also be
interesting to state that on approaching the
Grand Banks during the recent passage a can
airy bird, which had been a companion for
nearly seventeen years, died, doubtless of old
age, certainly not for want of careful atten-
ton.

LEGENDS or THE MoxAsTTc ORDERS, as represen-
ted in the Fine Arts, forming the Second Series
OF Sacred and Legendary Art: By Mrs. jane
sen. 32mo, PIP. 4s9. Boston: Ticknor &
Fields, 1865.
One who should give but . cursory glance at
this little volume which comes to us in the at
tractive blue and gold Of Messrs Ticknor &
Fields, would be likely to do but partial justice
to its scope and purpose. 1t is not mere
freak of fanciful dilettanteism, but an earnest
attempt to illustrate the lives and record the
services of those strange monastic orders who,
in the midst of the universal darkness which
overspread all Europe, preserved for us the
light Of literature, of science, and even of lib
erty; among whom sthe traditions of Art, pre-
served from age to age, by lonely, studious men,
kept alive in form and color, the idea of q
beauty beyond that of earth, of might be-
yond that of the spear and the shield, of 9
Divine sympathy with suffering humanity. Mrs
jameson brings to her task fine feeling Of the
true purposes of Art in general, and an extern
siye knowledge of Medieval Art in particular
The cultivated and fascinating graces of her
style are too well known to the general reader
to need communication, and the present work
will not fall behind her preceding ones. The
engraved head of Titan, which forms the from
tispiece of the volume, is beautiful and appro-

AAOOW-AH0 hctT6Ut from EUGuSht-Sebef1tu
of the Recent battle Destruction of Rebel
Property.
CINCINNATI, Dec. 5.
Maj. Gen. Stanley. who was wounded in the
battle of Franklin, arrived here yesterday. He
says the reports OF that battle that have reach
ed the public are not exaggerated. The rebels
met with their heaviest losses in attacking our
trains, which were of enormous size and value
and filed the roads for twelve miles.
1t was not intended that Franklin should be
held longer than it was necessary to get our
property out of the way. The rebels had been
pressing us very hard from Columbia, and at
one time we were in great danger. Hood lost
his opportunity by not attacking in force at
Spring Hill.
Schofeld's army consisted of the 4th and
23d corps, together with few regiments that
had recently entered the service They left
Pulaski on the 25th of Nov, and were SO close
ly pressed that at times it was thought the ar
tillery and wagon trains would have to be
abandoned, but by good management they
were all brought through safely.
Gen. Stanley has been in nearly all the bat
les in Tennessee and Georgia, but he saws the
musketry fire at franklin was for an hour the
most intense he has ever witnessed. Besides
this we had twenty-eight guns in action with
a full sweep of the rebel forces.
A dispatch to the Commercial, from Nash
vile, says Murfreesboro, Bridgeport and Chat
tanooga are safe. Nashville and the surround.
ing country for miles has been converted into
huge forts. The destruction of rebel proper
ty to facilitate the defence of the city has been
immense. Almost all the rich proprietors here
abouts are rebel sympathizers, and the adj
vance of the rebel army has necessitated the
destruction of their property. The Federal
position is perfectly satisfactory.
