The Portland daily press., 1864-08-12

SKUNK Us. HEDGEHoG.-T The Bridgeport
Standard says the New York Herald refused
to join with the other papers of that city in the
recent increase of price to their subscribers.
The cause of this determination on the part OF
the Herald to lose money heavily every day,
is said to arise from the fact that the World,
being thoroughly rebel In its sympathies, has
very largely supplanted the Herald in the grog
shops and other places of il-repute in New
York city, which have natural appetency for
whatever is the worst. As the World, howev-
er, has raised its price to four cents the Her
aid expects by selling at three cents, to flank
the World and regain its lost circulation, not
withstanding its semi-loyalty. 1t is to be hop
ed that It will be successful, for the Herald is
by far the least Objectionable of the two.
The Portland daily press., 1864-08-12
Friday Morning, Aug. IL, 1864.
The Inhabitants Of our Northern Waters.

The pursuit OF the seal and cetaeeans by
the civilized races OF Europe aud America
carried on with systematic perseverance and
the appliances OF science, must eventually
drive these animals from their more accessible
haunts To the extreme recesses OF The polar
area. Already the formerly highly produc-
tive seas OF Spitzbergen and Davis Straits
are almost fished out, and the inlets and
channels Of the Meta Incogaitd Archipelago
have been invaded by the whalers. AT pres
ent the Meta IRcognitd Island are among the
most densely populated E>quimo areas; but
shoald the seals aud whales which are eager
ly pursued there by Europeans be driven to
remove elsewhere, the natives, after much
suffering, must also abandon their ancient
seats Ii the fishes OF the polar seas were
well known, we should probably find the
species much the same on every-meridian the
temperature OF the sea, when Ice is present,
varying but little near the surface. DR.. Suth-
erlaud lound the mean In Davis Straits and
Lancaster Sound 10 be little below 33 degs. f.,
the range Ia these months being less than three
degrees: but in September the surface water
becomes degree or two colder. In the
Sptzbergen seas the mean was 35 1-2 degs.

TIMELY WoRDs.-The following is from
the Boston Post written by an officer in Gen.
Sherman's army to a friend in Boston. Its
suggestions as to the draft and the war ought
to be constantly borne in mind by the people ::
"You say that The draft will be fearful af-
fair;' is it not more dreadful TO allow this
nation to be broken up, our flag disgraced,
and the many lives already sacrificed to go
for nothing, than not have a draft; than not
TO bring men enough into the field to finish
up this war promptly-for it is very eer.ain
this war will never end until the rebels are
conquered by force. The only way is tn
throw enough men into the field, aud enough
men to support those already in the field, aud
then In the end not only will life be saved
but the old flag will be victorius. Private
griefs, and private interests must, at times
like this give way to the public welfare; we
must not think OF ourselves, but of our coun-
try"

Gumption.

II there is any one quality which Is absol-
utely necessary TO success and happiness, that
quality is gumption; and of all unfortunate
aud TO be pilied individuals, the most unfor-
tunate and to be pilied, are those who lack
this inestimable blessing. Not that there is
anything very bad about such people. In
deed, they are generally well meaning, but
"they hayn't any gumption." That is all one
eau say about IT, No other expression, no
elaborate description even, can convey TO the
mind the precise condition OF the class refer
red to. Ii would be hard matter, in fact, to
define gumptiop, yet every one knows Just
what ii means It would be hard TO point out
Just what is lacking in those who do not pos
sess il. yet every one is aware of the deflicien-
cy except the individuals themselves.
II we might venture into the domain of men
