an unsuccessful attempt to place the Capital

BILE portion of the people of the State would
be glad I'd locate it, and that we give to that
neat and commodious room some appropriate
name by which 1t may hereafter be known
and shall be designated. 1t might be called
Lycsum Hall, Matinee Hall, or, dropping the
word SHALL" altogether, it might be called by
some appropriate name that would soon be
generally understood, and save us the re-

Name for the New CITY Hall.

a4 A few evenings since, while waiting fr
something to turn up," one OF the Assistants
in the editorial department of this paper, sug-
gested the propriety of an appropriate name
b for our large public hall, and invited propo-
sails in that direction. His object was, per-
haps, as much to draw out the differences in
public sentiment in relation to even SO small
matter, as anything else 81 rs
His suggestion has called forth variety OF
propositions, some published and others not,
for designating that splendid room, SO justly
the pride of our city, and which challenges the
admiration OF strangers who visit it.
We confess to no sympathy :or any fancy
name for that place. 1t is comparatively
city interest, city institution, owned and
controlled by the city, and is the pride Of
every public-spirited citizen. Dropping off
the quite common prefix, "New,' we hope ii
will be known only as "THE CITY HALL"
The name is short, concise, euphonious, con-
Venientf for writing and printing, expressive,
and cannot possibly misIead.
But there is an Old city Hall, some one
may tePiJ' HoHttteu,-Out should there be
1t has ceased to be used for the ordinary pur-
poses of City Hall, and we would suggest.
in order to remove all confusion in relation to
the matter, that an appropriate name be given
to that hall, such as MARKET HAIL. or
"Armory Hail." for instance, or some other
equally appropriate. Like Faneuil Hall in
Boston, it nigh. receive the name of the man
who bequeathed the land on which it stands,
for that public use. M asam
While we are in for it we will venture an
other suggestion. In the City Building is a
second hall. often used, often referred to In
notices, the common cognomen of which we
never write or pronounce without feeling that
rtis standing joke If not bnrlesque; a Joke
winch has stood quite long enough. We
Ee'er 70 the "Senate" Chamber. The name
Is ssnIireiy inappropriate and unmeanipg
when applied to any room under the control
of the city, and if any room In Portland ever
shall become the aotnal Senate Chamber. 1t
will pot be for the city, but for the State. to
decide EhatEoon 1t shall be, and to make the
name appropriate. We would suggest, there
fore, that this name be absadoned, ana that
we no longer keep up standing memoria, OF

NEW YORK, Dec. 16.
The Times dispatch, dated off Cape Henry,
Dec. 18th, says large naval fleet, accompan-
led by land forces in transports, left Hampton
Roads that morning, steering in southerly
direction. The iron-clads attached to the fleet
were the first to move. The single turreted
monitors go in tow Of steamers. The New
Ironsides and the double turreted monitor
Monadnock propel themselves. Our place Of
destination will be known to the public at the
proper time. Suffice 1t to remark that prepa-
rations have been made to make vigorous
and formidable attack on the enemy's works.
In all probability will be able to send you
details of the expedition In few days.
