The Peace the Musket will Give.

Gen. John Cochrane lifted his audience to their
feet in Philadelphia, and received ovation from
them in response to his declaration that the peace
the rebels would get from would be that which
the musket gives TO conquered host. He said

The Notorious Rose Greenhow.

The Richmond Enquirer confirms the report OF
the death of Mrs Rose A. Greenhow, a notorious
woman, who was recently caught spying within our
lines, and imprisonedin Washington. The Eaqairer
says:
Her life has been eventful. She was native OF
MARYLAND, and quite distinguished in WashingteF
society Her strong intellect and energy of charac-
ter led her to take very great interest in politics
She possessed personal graces well mental, that
added 10 little to the distinction she enjoyed. She

Robert Greenhow, of this city, well known in other

book she had written on the and her imprison-
ment by the Lincoln Government. This she had
accomplished and was just returning to the Confed-

KrrrERY NAVY YARD.-The Biddeford
Journal gives several good and sufficient
reasons why this Navy Yard should be called
"Kittery Navy Yard" among which is the
fact that the Secretary Of the Navy issues
commissions to the clerk, or whatever officer
may be designated, Of the Kittery Navy Yard.
The following ftom the Journal will give
very good idea of the business OF the Yard
at the present time:
The iron-clad gunboat Agmenticus, 1904
tons, flve-inch plating, double turreted, is so
far advanced that workmen are putting in
the machinery.
Passaconaway-iron-c lad-of 5000 tons,
double turreted, and with sides of fourteen
inches OF iron recently commenced
Contocook, screw steamer of 1000 tons,
and designed to be first class sea steamer !;
recently commenced.
New Hampshire, ship-of-the-line, recently
launched and nearly completed.
Colorado, first class steam frigate, under
going extensive repairs.
Alabama, side-wheel steamer. being re-
paired and fitted out-nearly ready for sea.
bluelight and Potnre, screw tugboats, re-
Gently Misunderstanding in their machinery.
In the ship-house near the bridge, which,
by the way, Is pronounced one of the best in
the country, is the first class steam frigate
Franklin, of 5000 tons, whose machinery Is
now being built, and which will be launched
the coming fall.

rI-The Argus seems TO have cut loose
from the car of "Little Mac,' and Joined Mr..
Greeley to oppose President Lincoln. We
infer this from the voluminous extracts from
the Tribune, demanding a change of the Ad-
ministration, copied with evident gusto by the
Argus, aud having its full sympathy and APP
proval. 1t is very possible the Advertiser has
sailed across the bow of the Argus clipper,
taken the wind out of its sails, and in antici-
patton Of its rival becoming the organ of
Maine Copperhead Democracy, the Argus
perhaps contemplates changing its course and
joining the radicals" in opposition to Mr..
Lincoln. The Argus with Fremont head |!
Bro. Adams having been an abolitionist in
his more youthful days, the proposed transit
ton will not be difficult one only returning
to his first love.
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1864-04-25

V-Did the editor Of the Argus ever hear
the old moral suasion temperance illustration,
of taking away the calf and ceasing the milk
ing operation in order to dry up the new mich
COW? 1t is homely but expressive and for
chile smile. Ii everybody would stop drink
ing strong liquors the dram-shops would find
their occupation gone and become obsolete.
Apply this rule. The banks depend upon the
people, and live by minstering to their wants.
Curtail those wants and the banks would find
their field of operations narrowed down pro-
portionally. II, therefore, an over issue OF
paper money is the dire evil which the Argus
admits it to be, the avoidance of rash specu-
lations," and the use of bank accommodations
only for legitimate business purposes, would
afford not only a very proper but also very
prompt and efficient corrective of the evil re-
ferred to.
