Portland Dry Dock.

The adjourned meeting Of the Portland
Dry Dock Company was held yesterday af-
ternoon, Mayor Mcclellan, the President, pre-
sided.
A report from James T. Simpson Of Boston
who had examined the borings OF the differ
ent sites. He gives his opinion in favor Of
either The Sawyer or the Jordon lot, on the
ground that the foundation is better and that
the dock can be built at much less expense
than 1t can be on the Cape Elizabeth side
Mr.. Simpson proposes to build Dry Dock
on his patent plan, on the Jordan and Saw
yer fats, length on top 325 feet, width 95 feet,
width at entrance 6S feet, and 80 feet on bot
tom OF the dock inside, and 10 feet draft of
water. including steam engine, pumps boil
ers, machinery and building for engine house
the dock to be completed in 20 months
from date of contract.
For everything but the size, he will build
the dock compete for the sum OF sl6s,975, or
without sea wall for si56,975.
An estimate of the cost Of a dock as de-
signed by w. +. Bonnell Jr., was presented.
The estimated cost of this dock, which would
be 275 feet long to the first gate, $50 feet to
the second gate, SO feet extreme width, 60
feet width at bottom and IA feet wide between
abutments, is sl01 $1,000.
After the reports were read remarks were
made by Hon. w. W. Thomas, J. B. Coyle,
Henry Fox, Jacob Mcclellan, c. NJ. Davis,
John Lynch. J. B. Brown q ais. The matter
Of erecting first class Marine Railway in
stead OF dock was talked OF, as it could be
done at one third OF the cost of building a
dry dock, according to the proposition Of Mr..
Simpson.
Mr.. Bonnell explained his plan of dock
which, he stated, would cost about 100000.
After some further conversation among the
stockholders the meeting was adjourned to
Saturday afternoon at o'clock, when re-
port may be expected from the Directors.

THE CoPPERHEAp NoMINATIoNs.-The tel
egraph conveys the intelligence that General
Mcclellan has been nominated by the Chica-
60 Convention for the Presidency, and G. H.
Pendleton for the Vice Presidency. As a
public man General Mcclellan was compare
lively unknown prior to the commencement
of the rebellion. With his record as a mill
tary man, perhaps the people are too familiar
to admit of his elevation to the highest office
in the gift of the nation as a reward for dis
tinguished service. The Presidential term.
beginning on the 4th of March next, will
probably be second to none in Importance
since the organization of our Government.
Whether war continues or peace with its at
tendant blessing smiles over a restored Union,
experience, ability and craftsmanship will be
n, eded in him whom the people place at the
helm of the ship of state. As to fitness, the
Chicago noainee must needs be taken by his
party on trust, for of his ability as a states
man nothing can be said, as nothing is known,
he never having been called upon to fill any
civil position whatever under either Federal
or State Governments. Regarding bis status
On the great question of the day, judging
from his 18th of June speech, he might be

as very moderate" !"

FIRE.-On Saturday night last the barn of
Wilkins & Phillips. On South Cow Creek, in

totally destroyed by fire. The fire was dis
covered between IL and II o'clock, and the
alarm Immediately given by an Indian liv-
ing on the ranch Five horses were rescued
from the flames with considerable difficulty,
and Mr.. Phillips, who was sleeping in the
barn, barely escaped the devouring element

PErIT LARcENY.-On Monday afternoon
last two Cinnamon entered the store of Louis

however, one Of them was discovered to have
appropriated pair of pantaloons, which he
had concealed under his coat. A summary
chastisement, somewhat damaging to the
physiognomy of the offender, followed the
detection, after which he disbursed seven
dollars to the merchant for his pants, two
and half dollars to the Constable for his
fees, and departed with the injunction to
commit no more breaches of the law.
