Opening Of the Mercantile Course.

The course Of Lectures under the auspices
of the Mercantile Library Association will be
inaugurated this evening, at New City Hall,
by WENDELL Phillips, Esq. We are glad
to learn that large number of tickets have
been sold; larger than ever before with the
exception Of last season. Mr.. Phillips will
draw crowded house. His subject will re-
late to the times, and the duties of the hour; a
living subject and no dead fossil. The lectur-
eEis an independent, honest man, not always
just, perhaps not always strictly candid, we
think; but he is always alive, always deals
with living issues, and never fails to stimulate
thought. 1t will be necessary to go early to
secure preferred seats.

Skating Season.

Attention Citizens Those who have daugh-
tiers, and wish to see them enjoying the ruddy
bloom of health; those who have sons and
can recall the time when they were boys, and
enjoyed half-holiday, on the ice better than
any other imaginable thing, VIII bear in mind
that they have the power of making mauy
young hearts glad, and comforting favor ION
our citizens generally, by directing their in.
fuence and efforts in some channel. having
for its object the establishment of skating
Park, and thus furnish our citizens with good
skating for the entire winter.
We hope the matter will be taken lin hand
Immediately. The plan is feasible and we
should have the advantage of Skating Parks
Ia other cities, for such an one--on 1.-THE Basin"
OF course-could be easily over1owed where
as in other places they are obliged to keep
them clear by sweeping. In this way the ex-
pense would be trihing indeed and even if the
city did not feel disposed to bear the cost,
mite from all, raised by subscription, would
easily cover all expenses; though even this
could be dispensed with as we are confident,
that there are-more than one or two hundred
of our citizens who would willingly give
five dollar bill each, tosee this matter com
pleted. Will our city fathers attend to itand
accept alike the expense, trouble, and heraty
thanks of the citizens generally.

Municipal Oourt---NoY. Is.


The case Of, John Bradley, on search and
seizure process, came before the Court. Brad
ley claimed that the ale and porter seized
were manufactured by him at Forest City
Brewery, and were stored, where they were
found, for parties out of the State and were
not for sale in this State. Some evidence was
adduced that the liquors seized were the prop
erty of another party, a tenant under Mr..
Bradley, who carried on the retail business in
the store at the corner of York and Beech
streets. Nathan Webb, ESQ.,, appeared for the
defendant. Judgment is reserved until Thurs
day morning.
Charles Clancy was brought upon COM
plant charging him with assault and battery
on James Libby, with intent to kill, on the
Sth Of October. Libby was stabbed severely,
and it was thougAt-at- she time that he would
not get over it. He has since recovered. In
default of sureties in the sum of $500, Clancy
was committed to Jail to await trial before
the Supreme Judicial Court.
Mary Spear, Tor drunkenness and distur-
bance, paid a fine imposed of three dollars
and costs.
James E. Herman, for drunkenness and dis
turbance was fined three dollars and costs
which he paid.

cester. The complainant having acknowl-
edged satisfaction in writing, defendant was

$1l.50. Messrs. Vinton & bennett appeared
for the complainant, and Messrs. Evans &
Putnam for the defense.

English Prophecies.

Whatever may be their political differences,
we firmly believe that there is an unalterable
determination in the hearts Of our whole peo-
pie to restore the Union at all hazards. Par
ties differ only in the means to be used to
accomplish the same end. The London
Times, and several continental papers which
have been predicting disorder to our cause
from the commencement of the war, cannot
disguise their modification at the failure OF
their prophecies. According to their prog
nosticatiOps at the commencement OF the
Sping campaign, Lee with bis army was to
occupy Baltimore and Washington, and die
tate terms OF peace at Philadelphia, while
Johnston was TO lay the great State Of Ohio
under contribution. New Orleans was to be
recaptured, and the coast cleared ofour block
aiding squadrons, and much more of a doleful
character. The gulls who believed this fine
story subscribed literally to the rebel loan,
new fleets of blockade runners were built,
formidable iron-clads were made ready to en-
ter our Northern ports, and other appliances
forwarded, to wipe us out of existence at a
blow. Our destruction, In their estimation,
was an accomplished fact Their mortifica-
ton and rageis not, therefore, to bewondered
a., as they contemplate our march towards f.
nal victory, and the utter falsity of the pre-
dictions they relied upon.
The London Times having failed as a war
prophet, is now deluding the Bulls about the
great chaDge that may take place in this coun-
try after the Presidential election. -bnt every
American citizen knows that whoever NAV he
chosen by the people will carry out their viii
with determination. Whether the war lasts
one year more or fifty, it will never be closed
until our country is a unit. Then the money!
greedy neutrals, who have been cur enemies
will be called upon to pay for their deprada,

The Bethel Steam Mill.


The Oxford Democrat contains the follow
ing statement of the operations of the Bethel
Steam Mill Company, composed mainly e
business men of this city: sa'aieso s5
The-bnilding is of sufficient capacity to &C.
commodate one gang, an upright saw, and
circular saw, for cutting long lumber, with
edgers, saws for saving OF stubshots, and for
cutting the edgings into proper length ior
market for fuel. In fitting up the mill many
modern appliances have been added, which
tell IN the amount OF labor performed daily.
One little affair, by which the men tending the
edger, are carried forward by the machinery
instead of going on foot, saves them about
fifteen miles travel in the course of each day.
There are also, single, clapboard, lath, and
box machines, cutting up lumber with aston
ishing rapidly. The works are driven by two
steam engines, with sig large boilers, all heat
ed by Gre fed with sawdust and waste wood.
| Branch tracks have been constructed SO that
cars are being constantly loaded in front OF
the mills with sawed lumber, and back, with
edgings, etc, for fuel, directly from the build
ing, saving great amount of labor. an
The Company have aIso added this season
six neat dwellings to the little village about
the mill, where dwell the large number of
workmen employed. They have also large
store in process OF building, nearly opposite
the mill. The establishment presents scene
Of industry and activity that viii we'll repay
visit. Large piles OF logs have been taken
out Of water for winter use, enough, it is hop
ed, to last until the river opens in the spring.

The new delegation, elected on the 9Th inst,
consists Of two Union Republicans. e. J. Ray
mond and WA. Darling; two CopEerheads,
and two War Democrats. In this gratifying
change Is afforded one of the few evidences
that New York City is not, politically, totally

EVENING PAPERS.

From Gen. sherma,.'s army,

ssaas sAa 1g4syo NEW YORK, Nov. 10.
The Herald has sketch of the movement
of Gems. Sherman and Hood since September,
when Hood commenced his flank movement.
By November LIST, the army. was enrcute to
Atlanta; Nov. 4th, the 9TH corps was concen-
trated at Atlanta and rapid preparations were
made to commence march. r5sf s.-f,, iss,is
Gen. Sherman is in the highest spirits and
telegraphed his intentions in the following re-
markable words: "Hood has crossed the
Tennessee river. Thomas will take care of
him and Nashville, while Scho6eld will not let
him into Chattanooga or Knoxville. Georgia
and South Carolina are at my mercy and l
shall strike. Do not be anxious about me /
am all right This is his adie u. I ~
The rebel papers already announce that he
has started on his march. Where he is going !?
Andersonsville, where our prisoners are
penned up like hogs, is on his way. A few.
days ago Gen. Sherman, thanked the Presi-
dent OF the st. Louis Sanitary Commission
for sending supplies to those prisoners, but
said things have changed since then and
may have to 60 in person to deliver these ar
ticles to the prisoners. rr

The Theatrical oompany.

The company now playing at Deering Hall,
in the plays which they will bring out, has
never been equalled by any dramatic compa-
ny that has visited our city. 1t is emphaticai-
Iva Comedy company, and there are no more
pleasing representations upon the stage tnan
genuine comedy. There is enough OF the
tragic in real life at the present time' without
serving it up tor pastime. rs0e59g
WILLIAM WARREN, who heads this compa-
ny, has a reputation of the most enviable
character. His name is as familiar as is that
of the Boston Museum, where he has SO long
been bright particular star" that he might
we'll be regarded as fixture.
Mr.. CHARLES BARRON is stranger in this
city, but he has some enviable qualities. he is
natural, and in all his performances produces
most agreeable effect. Mesers. Rogers, VIII
son, and some of the other members Of the
company, well sustain the parts assigned
them.
OF the lady performers, Miss JOSEPHINE
ORION takes he lead. In the line of rustic
parts she excels all whom weshave seen be-
fore. As Cicily Homespun, in the Heir-at-
Law she was perfect and captivating, and in
the unkempt, unwashed specimen which she
represented, as Nellie in Nursey Chickweed,
she outdid nature itself without burlesquing
it.
Miss Mestayer is an old favorite, and like
Warren, came to be considered almost FIX
ture at the Museum. Misses Brown and
Monk are very pleasing actresses.
Mr.. LOWELL, the Manager, is gentleman
who understands mis- business, and will win
success ii effort and merit can do it. $500
The music is first rate, and the audiences
are drawn from the best circles of our city.
Notwithstanding the inclemency of the
weather the Hall last evening was crowded in
every part. The Babes in the Woods is one
of the best modern plays extant. From be-
ginning to end it is full Of wit, fun and pathoe,
and we don't see how better assignment Of
parts could have been made or how they could
be better acted. Every act and scene seemed
to be real ones, and the delusion was almost
perfect. There was not stick" in the play,
and the audience was kept in the very best
humor during its entire Performance. The farce
too was equally well acted and the whole
house was in roar OF laughter. What more
need be said? Yes, a word or two, touching
the plays to be played this evening. THE
Poor GENTLEMAN, and Poor PILLICoDDY-
two comedies that must draw an immense
audience They are sterling plays, and in the
hands of this company must bring down the
house. Look out for fun tonight, and such
fun as is not often witnessed in our city.

ENTERTAINMENTS
Independent Course Of Lectures
ON THE

STATE VI THh sUoUNIhI.'
The course of lectures delivered last winter in
the City Hall on the affairs of the Nation, by
distinguished gentlemen from different sections
of the Union, having been so universally appre-
ciated and sustained by the people; and in aceor-
dance with the request of large number ofour
citizens, and also in view Of the continued dis
turbances with which the country is afflicted, it
Is deemed advisable and useful to institute
another series of like character for the coming
winter. aia
1t is believed that by this method of obtaining
the carefully considered and best thoughts of
able minds from different sections of the Repub-
Lie, not only will the patriotic life of the people
be quickened, instructed and strengthened. but
that something may thereby be done to comfort
and mitigate the sutferings of the sick and
wounded soldiers of Maine, who have perilIed
their lives that the life of the nation might be
preserved. a' aaa -
Theproceeds Of the course will be devoted to
thebenefit of the Portland Soldiers Home
70 The management of the course will be under
the auspices of the following named citizens:
