SPLENETIc.-The following choice tid-bit
we find in the Belfast Age: &. 81 81 a SO
Tho Natural Seaport is letting off an inn
mense amount of gas this winter by way Of
spread eagle lectures and the like"
This flippant style Of reference to Portland,
by some people seems to be- regarded as ex-
cessively funny. But does It not SAVIOR more
of envy than OF noble spirit? According to
their notion 1t is "gas" for the citizens of
Portland to raise, by course Of talented lee
lures, thousand dollars, more or less, for the
Sanitary Commission, as they did last winter
through the independent course, and q larger
sum perhaps for the Improvement of our
mercantile young men and their clerks,
through another course. 1t is "gas" to raise
q thousand dollars as they will this winter,
for the Soldiers Home, and another thousand
for mercantile libraryl If this be 'gas" we
cannot have too much of it. -. sf tes.
It is spread eagle" oratory for Garrison,
the earnest apostle Of Humanity, to lecture
upon our national trials, and our national re-
demption; for the learned. logical, classical
DIR. Storrs to enchant thousands with his
thoughts on the grand results to flow from
our national bloody baptism; for the gifted
and eloquent Douglass, once a slave, to de-
monstrate by the utterance of his own burn
ing thoughts the falseness of the accusations
against the capacity of his race; for Beecher
to enchant thousands with his eloquent ap-
peals in behalf Of more general education
and consequent refinement of the poor, and
for Bellows and Phillips, Wiiletts and Chaplin,
Thompson and Bullock, Andrew and Curtis,
and the gifted Anna Dickinson, to contribute
for the edifcation and instruction OF our peo-
pie! ,ssss - eisi,sy oseai osia eual gsar
In the same paper from which we clipped
the above fling at the"Natural Seaport" we
find notice that the Young Mems Associa-
tom Of Belfast have made arrangements for
course of lectures for the benefit of the San
itary Commission,-Heaven ensure them sue

that they are trying to secure lecture from

The Richmond Examiner of the 10th, says
the Government received official dispatches
from Savannah yesterday, when all was quiet.
The Wing of the 10th says the situation in
Tennessee is melancholy enough. 1t was q
black day for the army of the Tennessee when
Johnston lost his command. Hood was soon
flanked, beaten and compelled to abandon
Atlanta. he then stepped out OF the way,
hat in hand, and asked Sherman to walk thro'
Georgia. He, Hood, himself moved up into
Tennessee where he has now again got him
self beaten, and we fear badly enough this
time. $500 ADJ
The Examiner also says that the campaign
in Northern Tennessee has concluded disas-
trously for us, we have no doubt.

A Coon ApPoINTMENT.-The appointment
Of Mr.. John M. Gould of this city as Major of
the 29th Maine, is one of those promotions
which eommends itself and meet with public
appreciation, not only on account of the capa
bility Of Major Gould, but also for the devoted
patriotism be has shown since the war first
broke out. bss ssn % ss AZ Isio9
On the formation Of the LIST Maine regiment
Mr.. Gould enlisted as a private and served his
time out. When the 10Th Maine was formed
he received the appointmentof Sergeant Ma
jor, was subsequently appointed Lieutenant,
and acted as Adjutant part Of Its term of
service, and was with the regiment to the close
of its term-sharing in all the dangers as well
as the glories Of his regiment In many we'll

When the 10th Maine was organized he was
appointed its Adjutant, and has acted Adju-
tant Of a brigade under Gen. Beale, his old
Colonel. He has now received the promotion
of Major, which Is equally gratifying to his
friends and to his companions in arms.

Tribute to a Gallant Spirit.

The public win recollect the death last week
of.JAMEs M. FARMER, who was killed on the
Grand Trunk Railway near Gorham, while
passing under bridge. His gallant conduct
while in the service of his country, deserves
more than passing notice. -
he entered the navy in 1861, at the break
out of the rebellion, and served in the Naval
Brigade at the battle of Munson Hill, where
he was severely wounded by the bursting of
. shell. He afterwards joined the Mississippi
squadron, and was selected for the Hartford,
Admiral Farragut's flagship, for his superior
gunnery. He served bravely in the attack on
New Orleans, and afterwards when the feet
ran by Port Hudson and communication was
cut of, when the Admiral, wishing to COM
rnunicate with Gen. Banks, called for volun-
teers to run by the batteries in small boat,
he was the first of six to volunteer, and with
his brave companions successfully accomplish
ed the difficult task, and returned with answers
twice running the batteries ia broad daylight.

cjlaIms q ths Sanitary Communion,

Not only does the Sanitary Commission far
nish supplies for the field often sending them
be.ore the government Is able to supply the
needs at all,-but Its organization embraces
many other modes of relief Its hospital cars
which afford transportation with comparative
ease to many thousand Of sick and wounded
soldiers, Those between New York and Bos-
ton alone, having csrried over 1000 men);
its homes and lodges scattered everywhere
where lodging, food and clothing are furnished
to all who need; its stations where back pay
is collected and passes furnished to the needy
man, who having lost everything is without
means of reaching home; its Special Relief
work and Descriptive Rolls, giving informa-
ton when possible to do SO of any soldier to
his friends, form most important branches Of
relief.
Too much has been said as to salaries and
unnecessary expenses, since the statistical re-
ports Of the Commission prove that its work
is conducted with the least possible outlay
Every intelligent mind must see and know
that the names ofthe gentlemen who compose
the board are among the most responsible in
the land, and are guarantee that they have
no other aim than to promote the welfare of
the soldiers. The Commission has been true
toits name SANITARY" and under the necessity
and circumstances, who could askfor mores
1t has not only attended to the physical
wants of the soldiers, but has likewise dis
tributed a vast amont of reading matter, and
the army officer who recently published a
statement in the Boston journal that the
Christian Commission is the only organization
sending books to the army, was certainly
laboring under great mistake au3 s,Ia
We have before US an official statement of
some of the operations Of the Commission for
the year ending Sept. 80, 1894. from which,
but for lack of space, we would make some
liberal extracts. As 1t is we defer this labor
to more convenient season, simply remark
ing that the figures the most substantial of
all advocates-vlndicate the organization to
the satisfaction of all intelligent minds, and
prove its claims to universal favor and regard.
