Cant. semmes self-oonyicted.

This pirate Captsin wrote a book which
was published in 1851, entitled, Service Afloat
and Ashore 1t narrates portion ofthe SER
vice rendered by our navy during the Mexican,
war ia which the author was junior officer.
He lays down International law in the Ian
guage which follows:
To render privateering available to her
Mexico under the law oil nations, 1t was nee
essary that a majority OF the officers and
crew Of each cruiser should be citizens; not
citizens made dd hoe, In fraud OF the law, but
bona fde citizens; and any vessel which
might nave attempted to cruise, under let
ter of marque and reprisal, without this essen
tial requisite, would have become from that
moment pirate. Without the OBJ
servance OF these principles, no man can trans
fer his allegiance TO another country, aud
claim the protection due to citizenship under
It's laws.
Itwould be monstrous doctrine, indeed, it,
on the eve OF a war, or any time during its
existence, either OF the belligerents might in
wife the citizens OF other nations, ad ibitum
to take part 10 his quarrel, and, with single
stroke OF his pen, make them citizens pro hoe
rice" 1t had its origin In remote aud CON-
paratively tarbarous ages, and has for its OBJ
ject rather the plunder of the bandit than hon
orabe warfare. In short, they
lpriyateersl are little better than licensed pi-
iates; aud il behooves all civilized nations in
foreign trade, to suppress the practice alto
gether."
Such were the opinions of Capt. Semmes
thirteen years ago. Now none of these req
uisites were complied with in the case o.
the Alabama crew. A majority of them were
Frenehmen and Englshmen not only by birth
but by nationality. According to his own
showing he is himself pirate in common with
his crew, for it is requisite that majority OF
both officers and men on privateer be eiti-
zens OF State on whose behalf she scours
the seas: otherwise she is to be regarded and
treated as piratical vessel. No wonder he
sought refuge on board the Deerhound. How
much there Is in the Scripture saying, 30 that

What a Soldier can save.

A private in the 18th Me. Reg. had on the
allotment roll $1,000 per month reserved to be
deposited ia the Savings Bank, reserving on
ly % per month to spend for himself. After
twenty months pay the allotment was diseon-
tinued. Two hundred dollars therefore were
deposited. Out Of the $500 per month, and by
taking what money is allowed il clothing is
not drawn, he managed to save and send home
at one time, s25 for a watch and some other
things, at another time s2l, to be forwarded to
his father in Nova Scotia. Within a few DAYS
$3.50 have come by Express to be also deposit
ed in the Bank. The State and city bounties
for re-enlistment are yet to be paid, which will
swell the sum, with interest accrued, to up
ward. of $3.50. At the close of the war at this
rate he will have big pile for himself. We
commend this example for the imitation of all
other OF our brave soldiers in arms for the de-
fence of our country. Economy and good hab-
its are the secret Of all this Neither tobacco
nor liquor has been used by him. See, then,
what common soldier can save.

Lieut.. Joseph E. Colby.

We have received long biographical and
obituary notice OF this gallant officer, worthy
and estimable citizen of Rumford, who died in
the rear Of the army near Petersburg, Va,
June %, 1864. Unable TO make room for the
article in full, we give the following abstract.
Lieut.. Colby was born in Concord, n. a.,
but removed to Rumford many years since.
where he has been engaged chiefly in farming,
though at times he has had something TO do
with mercantile business, and been called BY
his iel'ow-citizens to ill many offices of re-
sponsibility. In every position in which he has
been placed he has acquitted himself with f.
deity and honor. He was a public-spirited
man, aud liberal contributor to the support
of churches, schools, etc.
He was an unconditional patriot, believing
10 standing By the Government to the last man
and the last dollar, and he proved his devotion
70 bis country by dedicating his efforts and life
to Its service. He was commissioned I'd Lieut.
In Co. b, 32d Maine regiment, his commission
bearing date March 10, 1864. He left Angus
Ia with his regiment for the seat of war April
10th, was in the severe battle OF the Wilder
ness and engaged with the enemy during the
bloody days which followed, receiving wound
In TIE wrist which disabled him.
He became victim of that terrible scourge
of the army, chronic diarrhea, and was advis-
ed TO resign or at least to avail himself of the
benefit of a furlough, but he refused to turn
his back upon the conflict while he could share
with his comrades the tolls and dangers of the
camp. Carrying out this determination he
went to the front, but died as above stated
His body was embamed and forwarded to
his friends for interment. The funeral rites
were performed at Rumford Centref July 4th,
with masonic observances. Large delegations
OF masons were present from the Lodges In
Mexico, Bethel, Paris, North Arson and Port
land.
Lieut.. Colby was A years of age, and is sur
yived by a wife and six children.

but because it is refreshing to contemplate
candidate of such sterling integrity and manly
worth. Mfr. Lynch is no mere fustian man !;

"hoHisdfoN, July IL, 1854.
TO the Edifor Of the Press
Another invasion has come. and though NOT
gone, as an auctioneer might saw. Is. so far as
we can judge, fast going. The rebs have
come, seen, plundered, and appear to be ske-
daddling. Although, owing to our strong
fortihcations and the presence of a goodly
number Of soldiers,-officers are never lack
ing here you know,-we have not been thrown
into any such ferment of excitement as our
Baltimore neighbors, yet cut off from railroad
and telegraphic communication with all the
outside world, except the little town of Alex
andria, eight miles down the Potomac, de-
prved OF mails, and afraid to show our heads
outside the city limits, assailed at both ears
by all sorts Of secesh fabble, we have been.
there is no use in denying it, a little on our
nerves for three or four days back, with the
graybacks popping away. now at Fort Lin
coin, and now at Fort Stevens, all within plain
hearing. We could and did sleep very well.
but when awake in broad daylight we might
be excused for keeping sharp ear for the cry
Of the newsboys, though nothing is more de-
lusive, and a sharp eye for the last extra,
though with no more news in it than medicine
in a homeopathic pill. Now, however. the
peace and quietness in which we were left BY
the adjournment of Congress, and which was
so rudely broken, begins to return. The
clerks who have been doing guard duty night
ly are doubtless coDgrstulating themselves
upon the prospect of being relieved from their
unwonted service, and the Quartermaster's
force, which went to the field last Sunday, is
probably about ready to return laden with
laurels.
The great event of the invasion, however,
was the muster of the District militia to-day
at the City Hall. Well might it have struck
dismay INTO the hard and leathery hearts OF
Ewelfs veterans could they have beheld what
saw, and part OF which | was. Even when
telegraphed to him by some inside secession
list, as it probably was through signals of some
sort, the demonstration produced decided
effect. SO, though after waiting good while.
we received permission to go home till further
orders, we have right to feel that we did not
rally inyain. Some, indeed, affect TO believe
the retreat of the rehs Immediately after to
have been in consequence Of the timely arriv-
al of the 9th Corps from before Petersburg
and the 10th from the South, but am bound
to believe it was the terror of the citizen SOL
diery that started our unwelcome visitors on
their return. Indeed, do not question that
another such demonstration might make some
impression upon Richmond itself, and in the
present dearth of any new projects for the
capture OF that stronghold, it may not be pre-
sumptuous to sueges: this easy and bloodess
plan of attack.
Tonight an attempt is to be made to re-
establish railroad communication with Balti-
more. Doubtless travel between this city and
New York will be resumed in few days, and
to one dweler in Washington at least that
event will be very welcome. TSP.

passed Creighersvile at s o'clock, and half an
hour afterwards small force OF Union eayal-

the rebels. The rebels seemed in a hurry,
having received information that Sheridan
was between them and Richmond with large
