PRESENTATION Lieut.. Pierce, of Co. C.
I'd Maine Cavalry, was yesterday presented
with an elegant sword and horse equipments.
by the con-commissioned officers and privates
of his company.
The sword was presented by private Frank
IL. Butler, Of this city, and private c. Y.
Brown, of Gardiner, made the presentation
speech as follows:
LIEUT.. PIERCE: Il is with a due appreeia-
ton of the honor conferred upon me on his
occasion, that attempt TO make this presen-
tatlon TO you IN behalf Of those who have so
literally subscribed for the same.
But short time since and we met you. the
most OF US, as strangers. Yet during the short
interval of time which has elapsed our ac
quaintance has TO some degree been extensive.
We have learned to respect and love you; we
take you 10 be man; man OF courage, a
man Of prudence; a man OF wlsdom-a man
wei lifted Tor the trust conferred upon YOU
We are now soon to leave the old "Pine Tree
State" with all its endearing associations leave
home and dear ones perhaps never more to
see. Yet we willingly go. We are willing TO
follow you into the thickest of the fight. if
need be. We here aud now pledge ourselves
that We will be true to you; we will never
desert you. Then go forth assured you have
our best wishes. Take this sword as feeble
token of the love and respect we bear you.-
Take IL and unsheath it in this holy cause
Weld it for our nations good. Raise it in de-
fence of those nestimable rights and liberties
beqneathed TO US by God himself. Sheath it
not until secession shall have hid its deformed
head, and the very last vestage of tyranny and
oppression shall have forever become extinct
Take it then and lead us forth to victory; no
bic, honorable victory. Yet with all the love
and respect we bear you, remember we are
but men and liable to err
Then in the language of that eminent wri-
ter BE TO our faults a little blind and to our
virtues very kind" Go forth then with no.
bic purpose, and a manly heart, and when the
conflict is DER, when the clarion note of war
shall have died away, and the halcyon note of
peace shall come stealing in upon the ear
when the gloom and darkness of the battle
field shall have been dispeed by the efful-
gent rays of the glorious sun of Liberty
then shalt thou return TO thy home and
friends anxiously waiting thy return. Nav
the blessings of heacen attend you; may hea-
ven protect you, preserve you, and safely re-
turn you.

follow my Instructions, you can get part or
even the whole OF ii. l wish you to get this
prize money, and let ii be known among your
friends so that may make large sale for
the next drawing.
To get the prize money you must have
"Trustees Receipt" To get one, you write
me letter dated March LIST, 1864, stating
that you have been unable to sell any tickets,
but will try once for yourself, and If you are
fortunate this time you can sell many for the
next time.
Send So, $40 or go, as convenient, but be
sure 10 state in your letter the number of
each Treasury note of bank bill you send, al
20 TO write your name yourself upon one cor
ner OF the back Of each TO avert suspicion

and your order dishonored.
BE sure and write nothing you do not wish
the trustees to read, as have to open all let
tiers received after the drawing, before the
whole board, and they finding the date and
money all right, will send you receipt that
will secure to you the prize your number has
drawn.
Conhdentially yours, ANsoN L. HUNT"
Considering the above in connection with
that previously received, my impressions
were that the whole was a complete swindle
that the $50, or such part OF it as could be
drawn from my pocket, was all that was wan
ted OF me. Those impressions were suisse
.quently strengthened by an exposure in the
American Agriculturists long list of "hum-
bugs" OF the "Villainous franklin Benefit AS
ISOLATION"
This is but one of the thousands of villai-
nous operations which are being practiced
upon the unsuspecting, and if such robbers
cannot be trapped and brought to justice, /
consider it the duty ofeyery newspaper, pest
master, or private individual, upon whom
their tricks are tried, or who have knowledge
ofthem, to give them as wide an exposure as
possible for the benefit ofeyerybody.

pose of drawing OF our gunboats. Her pro-
gress was not interfered with by our squadron.
