Poland Mineral Water.

We are informed that the mineral springs in
Poland have been leased by some Boston gen.
tleman. Arrangements will soon be made to
furnish this celebrated water to the public at
such prices that it can come within the reach
of all. We are glad fit, for we consider this
water Gerry pure. One OF its peculiar charac-
teristics is its lightness. A gallon of it does
not weigh so much by several ounces as com.
mon well water, consequently copious draughts
OF it do not overload the stomach. Its i'm
pregnated with few mineral substances
which have a very beneficial effect upon GER
tain diseases which affiict humanity These
springs are located on elevated ground that
commands one of the most beautiful land and
water prospects to be found In our State.
A good public house erected in the vicinity
of these springs would soon become place
of much resort both for seekers after health
is the son of the late Boston philanthropist
who was ever seeking to minister to the wants
of the poor. Large amounts of money were
deposited in his hands by the wealthy and
charitable to be distributed as his Judgment
might dictate. He was long the almoner of
Boston philanthropists and did much good in
his day. We hope the son will tread in the
footprints of SO good father, and give to the
sick who are poor and destitute drinks from
these bubbling springs. 1t is no doubt better
to make the human stomach the receptacle of
such pure water than to make it an apothe-
cary's shop.

MAJOR General
Parties arrived from the front, and who wit
messed the battle OF yesterday, describe the
attack of the rebel forces as desperate. Four
charges were made upon the federal lines OF
batteries In a body four lines deep; each time
the rebels were repulsed with fearful loss
The fort is on the north bank of the river
opposite the town, extending up the river. and
encircling the town was the line of masked
batteries.
Eye witnesses say that this engagement in
desperation and furious fighting was hardly
equalled by the battle of Stone River.
Forrest in person, was on the field rallying
his men. There is a rumor in circulation that
he was killed, but it lacks confirmation
About O'Clock last night heavy reinforce
ments reached Gen. Schofeld, which caused
a complete route of the rebel forces.
The city to-day is full of fleeing citizens from
Williamson and other counties south. They
state that Hood is gathering up all the horses,
hogs, and mules he can find, and sending
them south.
There is great panic among the negroes in
the counties south of Nashville; numbers of
them fleeing to this city for protection.
The federal forces under Gen. Thomas re-
tired from Franklin last night, and have taken
a position, and formed in line of battle about
three miles south of Nashville.
Skirmishing has been going on all day about
FIVE miles south of here. Heavy cannonad-
ing can be distinctly heard in this city.
There is no want of confidence felt by the
citizens in the ultimate success of our troops.
The employees Of the Quartermaster's De-
partment are under arms, and in the trenches.
One hundred and seven rebel officers, in
Guiding one Brigader General, with one thou
sand prisoners arrived in this city this morn
ing. They were captured in the fight last
night near Franklin.
A great battle May be momentarily expect

TIE OPERA.-Deering Hall was well filed
last evening, and Bales ROSE OF CASTLE
was admirably rendered by the troupe. We
have never had the pleasure Of hearing this
opera before, but the musical soul Of the COM
poser was in it from beginning TO end. Bale
has composed some melodies which will live
as long as the human heart continues to beat.
The Rose Of CASTLE is full of these touching
melodies, and all the music is very nne. The
instrumental parts are admirably adopted to
the sentiments and feelings expressed by the
performers. The opera exceeded our expec-
tations, high as our opinion is of Bales musi-
cal genius. The audience were much graft
fed and the performers often greeted with en-
thusiastic applause. twill be performed again
this evening, and from the applause its per-
Torrance received last evening we think the
hall will be filed to oyerfowing. We can as
sure our readers that the music of this opera
is Of highly pleasing character, and cannot
fail, as rendered by this company, of giving
entire satisfaction. The agent of this troupe,
Mr.. Frank Rivers, exerts himself to give all
those who patronize these performances the
worth Of their money. 1t must be remember
ed tnat his expenses are heavy, and the admis-
sion fee islow for such musical exhibitions
Operas are always expensive, vastly more SO
than concerts. We are glad our citizens pat
ronize this troupe so well. Such liberal pat
ronage will tend to keep our city well supplied
with music of the first order. Let there be a
rousing house this evening.

SERIOUS AcCIDENT.-Mr. John Blew, a
rlgger, while at work yesterday afternoon on
board schooner Storm King, adjusting the
foremost stays, was struck on the head by the
iron cap which slipped from its place, and cut
q deep cash on the side of his head. This
caused him to lose bis hold, and he fell from
the top of the mast, after vainly striving to
sustain himselfby his feet to the rigging. In
falling he struck the foresail, aud thence
dory on the deck of the vessel, a distance Of
hfty-five feet from the top of the mast. So
heavy was his fall, that the dory was smashed.
He was able with q little assistance to walk TO
a store, and was then conveyed to his resi-
dence on Commercial street.
Dr.. Robinson was called and found that the
skull had been fractured just over the left eye,
and ugly gashes cut in his head, besides seri-
GUS bruises on his body. Notwithstanding
these severe injuries, Blew was able to set up
and have his wounds dressed. Hopes are en-
tertained of his recovery, though the wonder
is that he was not instantly killed in falling
such a distance.

TIE oUorA MISUNDERSTANDING t

THE QUoTA FULL.-Notwithstan the
non allowance of the flfty-fye men enlisted in
the Revenue cutters, by the Provost Marshal
General, the quota of Portland IS now full, the
last man having been enlisted yesterday. To
the credit of the committee appointed by the
citizens is it due that our quota has been fill
cd. The amount subscribed by our citizens
enabled the committee to continue the work
OF enlisting after it was supposed our quota
was nlled. They kept at work taking the best
men that offered, and when the ffty-fve meu
on board the cutters we're stricken from the
returns, we wanted less than dozen to make
the compliment good. To this committee as
well as to those citizens who have so literally
subscribed is due all praise.

NJ. L. A. LEcTURE.-Rev. DR.. Bellows Of
New York, gave the fourth Lecture Of the
course last evening, and drew full and bril-
liant audience. The Lecturer took his au-
diencs with him on his journey to California.
Describing the vessel and passengers, in which
he left New York for the Golden State; the
railroad across the Isthmus; the steamers on
the Pacific and the Golden Gate through
which he passed to San Francisco. He drew
contrast between the steamers on the At
lan.ic and those on thu Pacific, which was al
together in favor Of the latter.
His description OF the Golden Gate and the
Bay was interesting. The sea lions and other
creatures in the Pacific were noticed, and es-
pecially one big sea lion that was always
mounting the highest place on the island in
the Bay, and they called him Gen. Butler
The audience here applauded the speaker
San Francisco was described, its history, won
derful progress, the labor that had been per-
formed Ia building the city, and the character
ofits Inhabitants. He said no people on the
globe had worked harder and could show
greater results Of their labor than the Cali
fornians. None but Anglo Saxons could have
built such city, and dug over the whole
country in SO short time.
He spoke Of the Chinese who now resided in
the Golden State to the number of 60,O0O.-
They were an ingenious, quiet people, who
followed alter the Yankees, and picked up the
crumbs.
The various operations OF mining were full
" explained, and he immense amount of
work that had been done in the mining re-
gions. His descriptions Of the scenery in the
country were apt, and gave his hearers good
view Of that section of our country.
The forests were brought to view, and those
gigantic trees. the wonder of the world, were
described in fine style SO that his audience
could almost see these monarchs aud meas
ure them. But We have not room to give
even an outline OF this able and interesting
lecture. Dr.. Bellows is a fluent and natural
speaker, and his powers of description were
exactly suited to such lecture. His des-
crlption of the grapes, fruits and vegetables
Of that country was highly gratifying, and
made his hearers feel as if they would like to
be among them.
The Fifth Lecture under the auspices of
this Association, win be given by Rt. Rev.
Bishop Clark of Providence, next Wednesday
evening.

business.
Inc examination Of the prisoners has been
going on before military commission Tor the
past tWo days, and those most conversant with
the cases, express great confidence that some
OF the maleiactors will be detected and pun
ished under Gen. Dix's order.
The city at this moment is under the strict
est surveillance. Lists of arrivals from the
South are sent daily from the hotels to head
quarters, and all suspected persons who fail to
report will be summariy punished. The lead

To aid the authorities, and are in constant CON-

the thoroughness and skill with which these
measures have been taken, that while the clos

agents OF the government and their operations
are wholly unknown TO the public at large.
The condition of things naturally excites
much alarm among the Southerners in this
city. Large numbers of them register them
selves daily, and many have come forward to
give what aid they can in detecting the plot.
The number of these refugees has been much
exaggerated. Those whose opportunities give
them the best means of judging, estimate their
number at from 10000 to $4,000 only. OF

and Mr.. Morgan, the wood agent set himself
at work to discover the thief. After watching
for some weeks he discovered the person he
was in quest Of, who proved to be Thomas
Mclaughlin, a brakeman on one of the night
trains. He was arrested and committed to
jail, and will have an examination before the
Municipal Court.
Mclaughlin has been in the habit of selling
small quantities of wood to people in the city,
and it is supposed that it was taken from the
piles of the Company.
