Mr.. EDITOR: There appeared paragraph
In one of your issues last week, rejecting up
on one of the traders in "The Row." accus-
ing him of copperhead tendencies, and Of fra
ternizing with jeff Davis d Co." Fearing
that the article prejudiced some people, l
deem it but justice to the individual stigmatiz-
ed as disoyal, TO state, that for year and a
half, this gentleman has contributed literally
almost every week in aid OF the sick and
wounded soldiers, and that without solicita-
ton. Our purchases Of him for the soldiers
are almost invariably at first cost; and he has
been ever ready to facilitate our efforts. Last
week his contribution was 1915; week before,
$780, Thus has it constantly been; and we
have heard of acts of kindness to individual
soldiers which led us to believe that If disloy-
al he has an odd way Of showing 1t; at any
rate he contrives to help the country by re-
storing the soldier to service, far more than
those who talk loud loyalty, but neither de-
duet profits from their goods, nor give even
small sums to aid the country In her peril.
JUSTICE.

A THREE-FoLD AFFLIcrIoN-Few per-
sons have been more severely visited with
rapidly recurring Affections than Mrs. Har-
vey, wife OF the late Capt. Geo. w. Harvey,
Of the Maine Sd regiment, who fell mortally
wounded in one of the recent battles. When
her husband Tell, her brother, q soldier In the
same regiment, went to him to assist in carry
Ing him to the rear, and while SO engaged was
struck in the eye by shot, killing him instant
ly. The same week that brought the sad in
telligence from the battlefield, she was called
to Augusta to attend the funeral of her father,
thus being bereft Of husband, father aud BROTH
er, all in the space Of a few days. She does,
as she should, share largely in the sympathies
of patriotic and christian community.

The Picture Gallery.

To the Editor al the Press
We are now entering upon the third week
of the exhibition OF paintings for the benefit
of the wounded and sick soldiers. The sue
cess thus far has been more than was antici-
pated; and tits hoped that there are many yet
who will avail themselves OF the opportunity
that may not soon again be offered, to see
some OF the choicest productions OF genius
The money value of these paintings ranges
from thirty to two thousand dollars; the val
ue to the owners of many Of them is beyond
computation, it being " a JOY forever to pos
sess them. IL is hoped that the low terms o.
admission will induce many to stop for an
half hour if they cannot devote more time,
and receive pleasure which will not soon be
forgotten.
The paintings of Mrs. Murray alone would
draw throngs In New York or Boston; the
school OF water colors being new in this coun-
thy, and standing as she does, in her speciality,
with the very first artists OF Europe. just
Awake" is marvellous in its fiesh-tints and
lile-likeness. One wishes to come again and
again to look upon it. The Departure" by
McEnlee haunts one like beautiful dream,
or a soft autumnal day. The Coast Scene,'
by Isabey, draws you by wonderful power and
truth. When the light falls truthfully upon
it, one is charmed 10 look upon its harmony oil
cloud and sea and coast.
"The Imprisonment" and Escape" are
among the very pleasing pictures. The per-
feet naturalness of the boys under the cir
cunstances; the pleasure and full content OF
the successful capture; the indiscribable look
of fearful disappointment and chagrin at the
escape, delights with the happy success of the
artist.
1.-THE Christmas Window" is another "touch
of nature which makes the whole world KIM
THE Chickens SO true, one feels the invol-
untary impulse to take one in the hand and
hold it tenderly and snug, as little girls do In
the country.
But space forbds more mention. There
are many others which chain the thought and
memory, and can only say that those who do
not see the beautiful and choice collection OF
paintings now on exhibition, will lose pleas
ure that may well be regretted. K.

WASHINGTON, MAY 20, 1864.
To the Editor Of the F,os.
The number of wounded Maine soldiers In
the hospitals of Washington, Alexandria,
Fairfax Seminary and Georgetown is greater
tnan at any period during the war.
Those leaving on furlough for home, and
those transferred To Philadelphia and Ports
mouth Grove, X. l., daily, rs well as the arri-
walls each day from Fredericksburg, render
IL impossible TO furnish an accurate list each
day OF the whole number in hospital.
An accurate register OF the whole number
going into hospital here, and In the vicinity,
is kept at the Agency and is each week cor
rected by giving the descriptive list of those
vino have died, been transferred, iurloughed,
or admitted.
The relatives and friends of our soldiers
will, on application to this office, or TO the
Adiutant General at Augusta, be promptly
informed whether the officer or soldier for
whom Inquiry is made is In hospital here. A
full and accurate register OF the wounded
Maine soldiers at Fredericksburg is also kept,
and from day to day corrected, aud any infor-
nation will be promptly communicated to
those asking. The Associations on Monday,
May 9th, sent several efficient nurses with
stores TO care for our wounded at Fredericks-
burg, during the same week four more were
dispatched with stores, and yesterday, the
18Th. twelve gentlemen with forty boxes Of
stores were sent on the same mission.
II is proper to observe that at the present
time of writing no hospital stores, except
those from the Surgeon Generals Depart
meni, can be sent to the army without an
order for transportations from the Surgeon
General. Hospital supplies forwarded TO the
Agency, or in the care Of the Agency, will be

The General Conference of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, now in session at Philadel-
phia, on Friday last elected three additional
bishops, to wit:-Rev. Davis w. Clark, ID. D.,
of the New York Conference, Rev. Edward
Thomson. ID. d., of the North Ohio Confer
ence, and Rev. Calvin Kingsley, ID. D., Of the
Erie Conference. These elections were iu-
correctly stated in our telegraphic dispatches
Of Saturday.
Rev. DIR. Clark is native Of Maine, but
many years since became a member OF the n
Y. Conference, where he has since been dis
tinguished as one Of the most eloquent
preachers and ablest writers. For several
yaarA ia.. pat no ss~v eatreu the Ladies Re-
postory," a popular monthly periodical pub
lished at Cincinnati, Ohio, at the same time,
however, retaining his connection with the
N. Y. Annual Conference.
Rev. DIR. Thomson is by birth an English
man, but came to this country in early life and
for his talent as speaker and writer, and for
his piety and great learning. For the last
four years he has been the editor Of the
"Christian Advocate and Journal" published
at New York, the leading official organ of the
denomination, but prior to this period he was
the President of the Ohio Wesleyan Universe
ty.
Rev. DR.. Kingsley is Western man, and
has long been regarded as one of the most
able and iniiuentisl ministers in that part Of
the country, being highly distinguished both
as preacher and as a writer. He has for
many years been the editor OF the Western
Christian Advocate an official paper Of the
church published at Cincinnati.
Prior to the above election six bishops con-
ssituted the Board, but 1t wild now consist Of
niue, as iollows-Bishops Morris, james, Scott
Simpson, Baker, Ames, Clark, Thomson and
Kingsley.
Among the acts Of the Conference is one
providing for changing the General Rules"
so as TO exclude all shareholders IRON the
church, and another extending the limita-
ton of the pastoral term from t,eo to three
years.

Army Movements.

Facts accumulate every day TO show that
Grant Is determined "to fight II out on TINS
line y and march into Richmond. Our losses
have been very heavy, but the loss on thepart
of the rebels must be heavier. Lee has lost
1900 prisoners Ito say nothing OF his Killed
and wounded) and much of his artillery. de
has lost every strategic point for which he has
fought. His communications are seriously
injured on every side. The prestige OF sue
cess he has also lost which has heretofore in-
splred his army with great confidence In his
ability. Grant is exceedingly popular with
our soldiers. They believe he is destined 10
conquer, and this belief inspires them with
courage that nothing can daunt They tight
a. troops seldom fought before. Before this
mighty host Lee has been compelled TO iaii
back. not as matter of strategy, but as one
of necessity. Lees refreshing Is ION compul-
siou.. It's not worth while to speculate on
the probable direction of our forces when
news OF decisive movement may at any mo-
ment be received.
Gen. Sherman proceeds triumphantly on
his way towards. Atlanta. He Is In full pos
session Of the line OF the Etowah River which
Is less than fifty miles from Atlanta. He Is
south Of the place where the most formidable
defence OF northern Georgia was expected.
Between Etowsh and Atlanta flows the Chat
tahoochee, a considerable stream which may
form come obstruction TO Sherman's march,
but this he will overcome. Since the last
battles, Johnston's retreat has been rapid,
and no doubt he viii make the best OF his
way 70 Atlanta II not already there. 1t Is be-
liesed that some of his force has been sent TO
Lee and that may account for his precipitous
retreat.
There Is much anxiety felt about Gen. But
lers position, but it IL now admitted that his
forces were withdrawn after the battle into
bis line Of intrenchments which defend the
Bermuda Hundred peninsula. This and Adj
miral Lees squadron constitute his base OF
supplies We hardly think he can be serious
ly attacked in this position. We think Butler
10 not only safe where he Is, but that he will
soon act on the offensive. Lee can spare no
force to aid Beauregard. for he needs all the
military power he possesses to Hght Grant.
The last rumor Is that Butler will cross
James river and join Grant, but 1t needs con-
nrmation.
The Portland daily press., 1864-05-24

One word more. The Publishers would not
have it understood that they enlarge the paper
as an excuse for the increased price, or that the
increased price is to pay the additional expense
occasioned by the enlargement. True, the en-
largement will impose upon them very great
increase of current expenses but they look to the
increased advertising which they will be able to
accommodate to pay the increased expense OF
the enlargement. The enlargement, 1t is hoped,
by the aid of an enterprising business public,
will pay its own way; the increased price OF the
paper is rendered necessary independent OF TINS
enlargement, and we propose this as full
equivalent for the increased price demanded OF
our subscribers.
