Casualties near Winchester.


In another place we publish list of casu-
alties in the 10Th Me. Regt in the great battles
of Sept 10TH, in the Shenandoah Valley un-
der Gen. Sheridan.
We have some details from private letter
from Adjutant Gould, who is now on Gen.
Beal's staff, in relation to other regiments.
He says the 18th and 18th Me-, lost heavily.
The Both and the non-veterans of the 18th
and 10Th were at Harper's Ferry, not engaged.
The 1st Battery was engaged-losses not
known; not heavy however.
18th Maine.-Capts. Thompson and Phil
lips, killed; Capt. Lowell, wounded; Lieut..
Stearns, lost arm; Lieut.. Aver, severely
wounded; Lieut.. Kimball, thigh, slight; Lieut..

The Proposed National Sailors, Fair.

We desire to call the attention of the people
of this city, and of the State of Maine, to the
great NATIONAL SAILORS FAIR, to be held
at Boston in the early part of November.
Maine furnishes more men to the Navy
in proportion to the population than any
other State, and we are confident that she
will not be behind others in the liberality
of her contribution to the noble object of
founding a Home for seamen and marines
disabled in our Naval Service. Let the phil
anthropic and humane people of her COM
mercial cities and towns, and especially, their
earnest and large hearted women, move in
this much-needed charity at once.
We are happy to learn that the matter in
this city has been placed by the general
Managing Committee at Boston, in the
very competent hands OF Committee of
ladies consisting of Mrs. John B. Brown, Mrs.
j. 5. Little and Mrs. 81. /. Robinson.
That our readers may understand some of
the reasons which have influenced those who
have inaugurated this enterprise, we subjoin
the following extract from their General
circular.
The naval hospital establishment is to-
tally inadequate at the present time to ac-
commodate the sick and disabled of the naval
service. The qualification necessary to ad-
nit disabled sailor, or marine, into the ma
val asylum, is twenty years service in the
navy. But many gallant tar, in the course
of this war, becomes physically disqualified
to gain livelihood in even less than one or
two years service. When his wounds are
healed, and he is left crippled in health or
limb, he is discharged from the hospital, and
from the service with pension which is, in
very many instances, too small to furnish
bread alone. A sailor whose constitution has
been hopelessly shattered, by service or ex-
posure, has no pension, but is cast helpless on
the world, without means of subsistence, ex-
cept through appeals to the charitable. He
becomes living reproach to the oversight:
ignorance, or ingratitude of the community
for whose safety in plenty and honor he has
ventured and lost everything"

GRADUATION Meeting in Parsonsfeld.

TO the Editor Of the Press
The Union victors OF western York county
had real, genuine jollifcation meeting at the
house of Hon. Luther Sanborn, Senator elect,
in Parsonsfeld, on Tuesday evening, goth inst.
The old, the young, the grave and the gay
were in attendance, and "all went merry as
marriage bell" 1t is pretty generally under
stood in this section that our Senator is hard
to beat in political fight, and this taken in
connection with the idea that his opponent
was nothing but Wool-en man with a cop
Der head gave US all confidence in his election.
Consequently we were in readiness for the oc-
casion, and you ought to have seen the gath
ering as it assembled from all quarters. Double
teams, single teams, and foot men came pour
ing in till house, door-yard and all surround
ing space were packed with crowd of as good
looking, merry-hearted people as any event
ever called together. 1t was estimated by par
tial count that the number present exceeded
ion ladies too, who won't run to Canada, nor
patronize Canadian gentlemen either.
The very best of music was furnished by the
Cornish Cornet Band, which band is deserv-
ing of the highest praise, not only for the no.
BILE, manly fellows who constitute its member
ship, but also for the real musical talent it dis
plays. Let me say to all within its reach, il
you want tip-top music, and plenty of on any
occasion, just patronize this band, and you are
bound not to be disappointed Long may they
blow, and long may it wave. Our host was by
no means caught mapping, and during the even
ing, bonntilul repast was served to the audi
ence, consisting of excellent corned beef, pre-
pared in the shape of Sandwich, pastry of va
rious kinds, all being wet down with the very
best of shot Coffee" such as the lady of our
host knows well how to make Refreshments
being over the assembly was called TO order by
Ivory Henderson, Esq, who nominated as
Chairman for the occasion Hon. Daniel Dam,
of Newfeld. Mr.. Dam, on taking the stand.
made brief but noble, patriotic address, full
of zeal, and right to the point. Then followed
speeches by Messrs. Adams, Moore and others,
Astounding in true Union sentiment, all OF
which were received by the crowd with bursts
of applause and other marks of earnest enthu-
siasm. Songs, glees, &C., were sung by the
young people, and to close, cheer after cheer
went up for the Union, the Soldier, the Presi-
dent, &C., till every thing in fact worthy OF
cheering was in turn saluted. Old York is
truly redeemed, and on the sth of Nov. next
let those who wear copper heads take notice
we'll sound the death knell ofevery one with.
in its precincts who dare lift his puny hand OF
lisp a word against the peoples choice-:frm,

What Jeff. Davis said in 1853.


The following is an extract from speech
made by JEFF. Davis in this city, in the summer
of 1S5S-only six years ago:
"If at some future time, when am mingled
with the dust, and the arm of my infant son
has been nerved for deeds of manhood, the
storm Of war should burst upon your city,
feel that, relying upon his inheriting the in
stlnct of his ancestors and mine, may pledge
him in that perilous hour to stand by your
side in the defence of your hearthstones, and
in maintaining the honor OF flag whose con-
stelation, though torn and smoked in many a
battle, by sea and land, has never been stained
with dishonor, and will, trust, forever fly as
free as the breeze which unfolds it,"
That "infant SOM is now dead, and thus
mercifully spared by Heaven the terrible in
heritance of shame and disgrace which his
father would have bequeathed to him had he
lived. In '5S Davis was perfect Democrat,
a "bright particular star" in the Democratic
galaxy, as full of loyalty, as devoted to the flag,
as flppant in his patriotic platitudes as the
copperheads of to-day. Now he is the rebel
chief. Where will his Northern friends of '5s
be in another six years? Do they dare con-
slider carefully whittier they are tending, and
what will be the inheritance they will bequeath
to their children?
