Personal Economy.

The Boston Journal, in speaking Of the an
ti-extravagance movement says, with much
truth, that no general rule can be applied to
the case. Many actual necessaries must be
obtained from abroad, and the general inter-
ests of trade and revenue are concerned in
keeping up respectable current Of imports.
II it were shut of, it may be doubted whether
the consequent relief from competition would
not enhance the price of such articles as are
manufactured here far beyond the present
cost. Certain 1t is that coal, paper and other
wellknown commodities, which are practi-
cally exempt from competition, are among the
most exorbitant now in the market. 1t is
better, to be sure, to pay high profit in cur
rency to our own manufacturers than 1t is to
send too much gold out Of the country for
fruitful in mischief, and should be guarded
against.
The best safeguard against this, and the
other evils now complained Of, is strict econo-
my, let it strike where it may. He who is
soundly economical, will cut off his superflui-
ties and luxuries first. This principle, il gen.
orally adopted, would make sweeping work OF
that sl2000Q00 worth Of wines, spirits and
cigars, which may be set down as the mems
share of the last years imports-even allow
ing liberal remainder for medicinal and me-
chanicsl purposes. -
In the ladies' account Of s33 800 900 for silks,
laces, and embroideries, it is not for us to say
how much the figures could be cut down with
out leaving any sensible and tasteful lady rea-
son to complain of nothing to wear" but it
is manifest that a reduction "most devoutly
to be wished" is possible. We are glad to
believe, also, that it is probable, seeing how
generally and earnestly our ladies are taking
this reform into consideration.
Senseless extravaganza is the disgrace OF
our people - or at least it was in danger oil
becoming SO. 1t convicted US of frivoity in
che midst of bloodshed and suffering. 1t di-
yerted TO useless purposes means absolutely
necessary to relieve our wopeded heroes or
their surviving families. BY adding to the
enhancement of gold to pay for excessive i'm
ports, 1t increased the cost of living, aggra-
waited the suferings Of the poor and cramped
the energies Of the country. 1t was, in fact,
the pervading, subtle ally Of the rebels and
traitors. Its cure is not by diverting expen-
diture in this or that direction, but by cutting
it down to the lowest available point consis-
tent with the doctrine Otto live and let live"
And because we believe the anti-extravagant
movement, however it may fail in individual
cases and in specific attempts, is having this
general tendency, we hail its progress with
great Measure

Jagged, the old stockholders having the priv
ilege OF taking it at par by allowing interest
from the time of the first issue of the certif-
Gates The market value of the stock is now
$104, with every prospect Of an increase. A
very great saving has been made by the course
pursued by the President and Treasurer in
visiting those cities where Horse Railroads
had been built, and obtaining such facts as
enabled them to avoid the mistakes to which
all such new enterprises are subject. Their
track has been laid in the most substantial
and economical manner, and the buildings
erected on the most approved plans. Their
stable has not its equal in Maine in point of
arrangement, and we would advise persons
intending to build stable to examine it.
The trial tripover the extension to Evergreen

The officers of the road, the members of the
City Government and of the press, and others,
were invited to take passage. which invitation
was very generally accepted. At half-past
8 P. M. the cars left the Post Office, and re-
turned about half-past FIVE, all expressing
themselves well pleased with the facilities it
afforded for a suburban trip, and the great ac-
commodation to those living on the line
of the road in coming into the city. One
Of the new cars, built at their mandatory on
Spring street, was brought into requisition.
In point Of beauty of finish and ease OF rid
ing it is far superior to any of the cars pur-
chased elsewhere. The company have pur-
chased nine acres OF land at the terminus OF
the road in Westbrook, and have built car
house, l22 feet by AZ, and will make such ad-
ditions as the wants of the business may re-
quire. The President and all the other officers
of the road, as well as the stockholders, were
in remarkably good humor, seeming to feel
that movement, in which they had taken the
deepest interest and had devoted many anx-
ious hours, was completed success.

Major Leavitt, of the 10th Maine, who died
from the effect of wound received in the re-
cent battles, was graduate of this College,
and member Of the class Of '62. He enlisted
at the close of his College course, and receiv-
ed his diploma clothed in the Federal Uniform.
He was man of great general ability, indie
pendent Of his talents as a scholar, and his
death will be great loss to his friends, as we'll
as to the College from which he graduated
with the highest honors. Capt. q. II. Smith,
of the LIST Me. Heavy Artillery, who was
wounded few days after, was member OF
the same class, and man of great energy and
mental force. He passed through this place
few days since On his way home, and will
soon be at his post again.

endeavor in ahumble way, to strengthen their
hands by supplementary assistance"
Our people have contributed to this Com

lief Of wounded soldiers more generously than
any other people q which history gives any
account. Generations yet to come will look
back upon this voluntary expenditure and

From the Army of the Potomac.

BALTIMORE, June 4.
The American says a gentleman who left
the front at 8 O'Clock Friday morning, repre-
SCENTS the attack reported by Gen. Grent, as
having opened with the fiercest cannonading
along the whole line. Cannonading could be
heard as he progressed down the Peninsula.
One important fact reported by onr inform
ant is, that the army is in the best possible
condition and spirits. They have never in any
previous campaign been so well supplied. An
abundance OF provisions are constantly going
forward.
The whole army worships Grant, and saw
he IL the only man who has given them a
chance to fight.
The rumored capture of Fitz Hugh Lee
was unfounded.
A special dispatch to the Boston Journal,
from the Army of the Potomac, dated June
81 M, says the 9th Corps moved to Coal
Harbor yesterday morning, and was Joined by
w. +. Smith, from Buffers command. with A
division. There was diminishing all day along
the entire line. just before sunset Elwell at,
tackled our center held by the Fifth and Ninth
Corps. The fight took place on the Mechan-
lcsville road, mile northwest OF Bethesda
Church. Griffin held the right of the Fifth
Corps, Crittenden was left of Smith, next to
Griffin. On the ieft was Cutler, supported by
Crawford and Lockwood.
The rebels opened with heavy artillery
fire and drove in our skirmish line. They
then charged upon our breastworks. Griffin
was hard pressed, when Cutler sent HofFman's
brigade to his aid. The fight ended ia the re-
bells being repulsed with great loss. Critten
den was but slightly engaged. Our loss was
very light.
At Coal Hsrbor the enemy attacked the 9th
corps. Gen. Smith arrived just in time, and
after hard fight, lasting from six o'clock till
10, droveithe rebels back upon the Chickahom-
my, taking from five to eight hundred prison
ers. The total number of prisoners taken
during the day will foot up nearly one thous-
and
The battle on the right may be called the
battle of Bethesda Church; that on the left
the battle of Coal Harbor. Both of them
signal victories.

The Ninth Maine Ia the Recent BATTLES.
WATERvILLE, June 8, 1884.
To the Editor Of the Press:
have the honor to request that you will pub
lsh the following, to correct statement which
notice has been published In several of the
Maine papers, taken probably from cores
pendent Of the N. Y. Tribune, in regard to the
conduct of the 9th Maine, in the skirmish line
in front of our works at Bermuda Hundreds.
1t there stated that the Regiment occupying
the center of the line, broke and left the rife
pits, the retaking of which caused large ex-
penditure of life.
l have only to say that the first that was
known of this at Burmuda Hundreds, was its
appearance in the Tribune. presume it was
not intentional on the part of the correspon-
and eighty men and four officers of the 9th
we're in the rifle pits on that day, the 10th Of
May, and they fought as brave men always
fight Sixty of the men were killed and
wounded, and two of the four officers wound
ed. At a part of the line that was not attack
ed during the day. I'd Lient. E. X. Shaw was
posted with twenty men. During the fght
Lieut.. Shaw withdrew his men some sixty
yards in the rear Of that position. On Its being
noticed Gen. Butler reduced the officer to the
rauks. During the succeeding night, a de-
tachment Of New Hampshire Regiment fell
back from the rife pits to the entertainments
without orders and detail was made from the
9th to recover that position, which it did i'm
mediately.
The Ninth has been at the very front during
the whole time that the forces of Gen. Butler
have been at Bermuda Hundreds. On the
10th, at Dury's Bluff, the Regiment held the
extreme right of the line during the whole
day after the repulse Of Gen. Hickman's bril-
gade, and were thanked on the field by Gen.
Weitzel for their gallantry. 1t has lost Leavi-
ly in killed and wounded land 1t is unfair that
odum should be cast upon it by the conduct
OF single officer. The statement, have no
doubt, will be corrected by the correspondent
who made it.

A War of the Races.

NJ. Rameau and NJ. c. DeCazes threaten the
political er.d .~.ia,..i .nnihlatinn of the Irish
49, \ a. -l1 g. In, I-a-sa- Caifaua.
The latter gentleman having failed of re-
election improves his leisure by writing some
able articles against Representation by Popu-
lation which are highly esteemed by his coun-
trymen. He IS not disposed to wait for the
slow process Of Anglo-Saxon annihilation in
Lower Canada, SO hopefully shown by NJ Ra-
meau. The danger to the French race is too
imminent for delay, and he advocates sepa-
ration Of the two Provinces. He adroitly uses
the logic Of statistical numbers to make out
his case. The union OF the British Provinces
he opposes, and says: "If by the confedera-
ton We gain an addition OF 81, 900 French Can
adams, we have to accept also with them more
than million Of Anglo-Saxons. Who will be-
lieve that this would increase our strength ?"
M. Rameau, a French publicist of note, who
is well posted up in Canadian affairs, has made
an elaborate study of the two last censuses-
He comes to the gratifying conclusion that
Canada is to be reconquered from the Anglo
Saxon by the steady progress and pressure OF
the French religion and nationality. If the
French cannot have things remain as they are
now, they would prefer to have one section of
the country all to themselves, and trust TO luck
and perseverance to render il decidedly
French Catholic region. All the public
journals which represent the Hierarchy advo-
cate this separation, and labor for its accom-
plishment. NJ. Rameau finds in Lower Cana
da that the French multiply at the rate OF Is
per cent. in ten years. This furnishes proof
to his mind that the Anglo-Saxon is gradual
ly vanishing away. In sixty counties In Low
er Canada he finds twenty-three in which the
number of the English is too Insignificant to
be reckoned. In the county of Bellechasse
there are but four Of them in one thousand of
the population, and in none Of these twenty
three counties do they number more than four
per cent. In many OF them the English have
suffered, not relative, but an absolute de-
crease. This view is decidedly encouraging
to the French hdbitues. But we imagine there
is but little danger of civil war growing out
OF these difficulties, for the masses of the Can
adian French are the most docile, quiet peo-
Pile in the world. Let them have pea-soup
blood buildings, black pipe, a fiddle and kind
priests to rule over them, and they will willing
ly let the rest OF mankind slide. But there
are among them many restless spirits who are
constantly laboring to keep up the national
prejudices of the two races, and the Priests
lend their aid and influence to the work.
Their control over the French masses is abso-
lutte. But they labor in manner quite diff
ferent from that the French politicians who
are scattered over the Provinces. These want
Office, but the Priests are contented with what
they have, and yet they have no very special
love for the English population.

No operations took place on Thursday.
Yesterday at 4 A. NJ. Gen. Grant made an
assault on the enemy's lines, of which he
makes the following report
We assailed at 4.30 this morning, driving
the enemy within his entrenchments at ali
points, but without any decisive advantage.
Our troops now occupy position close TO the
enemy, in some places within so yards, and
are remaining. Our loss was not severe. nor
do suppose the enemy lost heavily. We cap
tured over 300 prisoners, mostly from Breck-

WATERvILLE COLLEGE,
June 4, 1854.
To the Editor Of the Press:
To those acquainted with College life, its
tedious routine is well known, and plethoric
must be the brain that could CLEAN interesting
matter from SO barren field as our daily life.
We pursue the " even tenor Of our way" with
now and then some incident to enliven our
otherwise monotonous existence. At the close
of last term military spirit pervaded the stu
dents, and our old cannon being secretly con-
veyed to the College grounds, several rounds
Of stones, chains, ct cetera, were put through
q shed much to the damage of the aforesaid
building. The Faculty highly complimented
the skill which was displayed, but forbade far
Their artillery practice. As is usual, many of
the students are out this term, engaged in the
toll OF the hand rather than that Of the mind
Vegetation here is unusually luxuriant, and
somewhat In advance Of that in Portland and
vicinity. The financial affairs of the College
are in very satisfactory condition, and we are
looking for avery large Freshman .class for
the next year.
