The Advertisers Wires Down,

A short time since the Advertisers Wash
ington correspondent gave accounts of Union
reverses, in Washington, on the uery day they
occurred 10 The Shenandoah Valley; one day
in advance Of lightning telegraph! But last
Monday we imagine his wires must have been
down, for it was on that day that Sheridan
achieved bis splendid victory, and yet this We.
racious and enterprising correspondent wrote
at the close of that day, at the conclusion of q
long letter designed to show that the war was
failure, as follows:
What l. to prevent Gen Lee from sending
3OOOO OF MS troops up to Winchester, TO join
the $4,000 already there vi der Earl,. IN a
grand invasion of pennsylvania, or a second
attack upon Washington? II is some consid-
Grafton of this nature, that took Gen. Grant IN
Harper's Ferry. For the sake OF driving r r.
" out OF the Shenandoah Valley, he divided
his grand army Into two parts, and sent Sher-
idan. with one part, TO Harper's Ferry. After
a campaign of six weeks duration, Sheridan
hos ute, IN failed TO accomplish what Grant
intended. and Grant himself has been unable
10 90 ANY thing on the James river
what Grant wants to do now,is to move the
main body OF Sheridan's forces back to the

Voice of another Disseminated Spirit.


The Boston Herald is an Independent Dem
ocratic paper, its editor, E, q. Bailey, E 4,
having been life long and Influential member
OF that party. Mr.. b. was postmaster OF Bos-
ton under President Pierce, and has Within a
few years been Democratic candidate for 1t.
Governor OF Massachusetts. This paper comes
ont Aat-footed against the Chicago platform
and its nominees, aud says:
I" We find the agents OF Jefferson Davis at
Niagara Falls, arranging the platform aud the
candidates 70 be put forward at the Chicago
Convention, by aud through which they are
la hopes to fool and TO CHEAT the tree States
out OF the advantages gained, and which ifcon-
tinued will wipe the rebel leaders out. So far
az the platform, the candidates and the speech
es are concerned, the convention at Chicago
might as well have been held in Richmond. 1t
was q miserable, iawning, sycophanIic and de-
grading surrender to the men who are in arms
against the government and who have done
their utmost to destroy American liberty.
the talk about free speech, free press and
the constitution, are very pretty and capital
cAtch-words To deceive the honest voters. Blu,
how is it In the dominions OF Jefferson Davis
How about free press aud free speech there
II . man In Virginia dare utter one word
ssinst Davis or his plans he would be hung to
the first tree or most convenient lamp-posI for
his Uemerity. Yet these leaders are the men
that the Chicago Convention propose to re
store TO power In the nation to wreak VEN
gtance upon those at the north who have OPP
posed them. What kind of liberty Of speech
and of the press would there be then? The
success of the Chicago ticket would be but the
beginning of series OF disasters which would
come upon us, too horrible to contemplate.
For ourselves, we support no such doctrine
and no such ticket as that made and put forth
at Chicago, and which we believe will be re-
pudiated AZ the polls" ta

County Temperance Convention,

Next Wednesday, A. NJ, the friends OIL
Temperance in this County viii meet at Dun.
stan Corner, Scarborough, and hold conven-
ton throughout the day and evening. 1t ID
hoped the attendance will be general.
The object of this and similar meetings ia
not to effect a change in the Maine Law, for
that law now is about all that the most ardent
fiends of Temperance could DESIRE But the
object is, first, so to educate the public mind
that the people will see the folly of using al
coholic drinks; and, secondly, to urge the ne
cessity of vigorously applying the law to
those who sell intoxicating drinks contrary to
law and this, it should be remembered, is the
sworn duty Of the magistrates.
There are hosts of real friends of Tempe.
rance in the County OF Cumberland; but Il
would be exceedingly unfortunate for the
reputation of many of them If their presence
at any of our County Conventions were con-

assured, the time Is not far distant when,
another great evil fully removed, political
meetings Will be held with regard to the

meetings on the subject OF politics.
