To the Editor sJthe Prss:

My communication in "Wednesday morn
ing's Press, as was fully explained therein,
was from the creditor and not the debtor
side of the question discussed. 1t is to be
taken as the offer of the party benefited bya
hard bargain, to relinquish the undue advant-
ages of his bargain.
Your comments, representing as you do
the punctlious honor of the nation-the
deb.or-are highly honorable and generous.
and would have been no less so had you care
fully considered and replied to the weighty
reasons offered why the course reco mmended
was necessary and honest so far ss the gov
ernment was concerned, aud safe and prollta-
BILE so far as the bond-hoders are concerned.
However, one does not stand long arguing
against his personal in terest Ii generous
old Uncle Sam, in the midst of his terrible
difficulties, insists upon paying extra interest,
will pocket my small part with thrill of
admiration at his pluck. Only thought it
would somehow make the old gentleman feel
little less anxious to be told that we did not
mean to be hard upon him, and wouldn't
break our hearts, while gold cost more than
two for one, il he failed to pay gold, and gave
US his Il. 0. u" instead. CIvIs.

Lieut.. Mattson O. Sanborn.

SOUTH Berwick, July 9TH. 1864.
To "a. Editor Of the Press:
We were much grati1ed in seeing in your
edition of the fourth inst. the promotion OF
Mat.son C. Sanborn of this place, from End
Lieut.. Co. ID, 10th Ne. Rsg't. Vols, to lst
Lieut.. Co. 4, same Reg't. We think this is
no more than the young man deserves, and
We should be glad to see him go still higher,
as, from all accounts, he is every way compe-
tent and worthy. H. entered the service OF
his country at the br aking out OF the rebel
lion as private in the Pad New Hampshire
Reg't Being disabled at the first Bull Run
battle, he was discharged. After recruiting
his health, he joined the ist Maine Battery,
and went to New Orleans in Gen. Buffers
command. Serving thus faithfully, he was
after some time promoted to ad;Lieut. Co. ID,
10th Me. and Joined his regiment near Wash
ington. In this capacity he has served his
country faithfully and ardently.
Since the passage of the Ripidan by the
Army OF the Potomac, up to the siege OF
Petersburg he has heroicaIly endured every
hAhu Va sllHuiU9 Dy
his flag through all those terrible battle days
OF the Wilderness, of Laurel Hill, and around
the river Pc, neither did he shrink in front of
Spottsylyania Court House, nor at the fight
across the North Anna aud at Noel's Station
Then again down on the Pamunkey, on
the Mechanicsville road, and at Bethesda
Church, where, cannonading line of skrm-
ishers he is wounded, yet remains at his post
of duty and 50 We watch the brave young
fellow through all those battles his regiment
was engaged in TO the crossing of the James
river and to Petersburg
We are told by a delegate of the Christian
Commission recently returned from the front,
that young Sanborn was very popular in his
regiment, that his men would follow him any
where; he never orders them to 90 but it is
always "eome boys" Besides he is careful
to look after their comfort and welfare, and
is called by them the ''bully officer" As the
former captain of Co. f is now promoted,
we think it would be good plan if Gov.
Cony would give Sanborn another lift.

To The Editor Of the Press:
Ii you think the following items in relation
to Gen. Chamberlain and Capt. Keene will be
of interest to your readers, will you please
publish them. These are in part extracts
from letter received from Lieut.. Col Gil
man, OF the 10th, dated J June 10Th. He says:
Sol. Chamberlain was confirmed as a
Brigadier General last evening by the Senate,
photographed him TO that effect aud Sd tele-
graphed to the Surgeon in charge 10 know how
he was getting along, and he answered in these
words" Gen. Chamberlain is doing well,'
spent one day and night with him at Anna
polls soon after he arrived there he has Sc
we're and dangerous wound. The ball hit
him about two inches below the hip JOINT and
on the right side, glanced off aud passed
through the body upwards, and came out
three inches from the spine on left side and
above the hip. No bones were broken and
the intestines we're not cut; the surgeons
have hopes of saving him notwithstanding
the severity OF his wound.
We are called to mourn the loss of our
good Capt. 5. l.. Keene, who was killed by a
sharp shooter on the I'D inst, shot through
the heart and died instantly. His body was
sent to City Point to be embalmed and will
be sent North"
Capt Keene was a fine officer, whole
souled man and true Christian aud patriot.
he graduated at Watervile Coolidge in 1855,
and was engaged in the practice of law in
fhomaston when the war broke out. He
was quick to respond to his country's call and
entered the service as Lieut.. Co. !, goth Me.
When shot, he fell into The Majors arms.
exclaiming . shall die, but it is for my coun-
try, it is all right; write to my wife," So true
to the last, to his God and his country, fell
one who will be long and deeply lamented by
all who knew him and who esteemed and
loved him for his high qualities Of mind and
heart. II.
