READFIELD, March 26, 1864.
To the Editor ofthe Press:
1t was the privilege of your correspondent
on Thursday evening last, to attend the clos
ing exercises of the winter term of the Eaton
Boarding School,
The school, as many of your readers are
aware, was established in the year 1856, by
Rev. III. NJ. Eaton, the father of its present
proprietor
Since that time its popularity has been
steadily increasing, and il is now justly ranked
among the first Of our New England Board
ing Schools for boys.
The term just concluded, commenced in
November last, under the charge OF its for
mer principal, Mr.. ii. L. Eaton, who, return
ing after an absence of two years, "A part OF
which time has been spent in the army, on as
suming his former position, united the inter-
ests OF proprietor TO that of principal. This
term has proved the most successful that the
school has enjoyed since its commencement,
and the closing exercises reflected great cred
it ON both teachers and pupils.
At about O'Clock, r. M, the friends as
sembled received summons to appear in the
pleasant school-room of the institution, where,
after a few remarks from the principal in re-
gard to the system employed in teaching, the
audience were agreeably entertained for up
wards Of an hour and halt, by declamations
from the various pupils. These declamations
were Of a character not often surpassed even
in our higher institutions of learning.
At the close of these exercises the prizes for
the term were awarded by the committee ap-
pointed for that purpose. The prize for spell
ling in the first class was awarded to VIM. b.
Buxton, of Yarmouth. In the second class,
the prize was awarded to Isedro Dieager, of
- For greatest improvement in penman-
ship, the prize was awarded to Ernest Han
son Of The annual prizes for compost
tion and defamation are awarded at the eX-
hibitien, at the close OF the summer term.
After the CONCLUSION of the literary perfor-
mances, the company again proceeded to the
spacious sitting room, where, an hour was
spent in s'social converse" after which the as.
sembly dispersed, thanking the host and host
ess for the pleasant entertainment afforded,
and convinced that they merited the conf
.dence OF their patrons, and the prosperity
which evidently awaits them.
The summer term commences on the sec
ond Monday In May, and it is gratifying to
the friends of the institution TO know that the
prospect for full term is highly auspicious.
That Mr.. Eaton is worthy of the patronage
of all those interested in the welfare and ad-
yancement Of the canse Of education, is fact
clearly demonstrated by the faithful and sue
cessful manner in which he has discharged his
trust to his pupils during the past few years,
and he has the satisfaction of knowing that he
is at least rewarded by the respect of those
whose privilege it has been TO be under his in
struction.
That his future career may be as successful
as his past has been faithful, is the earnest
wish OF A VISITOR.

The Prosperity Of Portland.

The following tribute to our city will be
doubly priced when it is remembered that it
comes from rival-extorted by the "logic
of events" 1t is from the Boston Traveller,
which says:
No Atlantic city is probably increasing
faster in commercial Importance than Port
land. Let any one watch the arrivals and de-
partures of vessels from that port, as reported
in the daily papers, and they will be astonish-
ed at the magnitude of its present trade. IL
is only few years since Portland and Salem
were about equal as regards the amount of
foreign commerce, but Salem has been losing
until hardly a sqadre-riggcd vessel can be
seen at its wharyes; its commerce has nearly
all been transferred TO Boston, and were It
not for few colliers and coasters, with coa.
bark, wood, and lumber, its wharves would
be deserted. But Portland, by its splendid
railroad facilities, is great distributing point,
and its noble harbor Is alive with vessels in
ward bound and outward bound. Once Port
lands entire business was the Cuba trade, but
now it has large direct European business.
BY its daily line of steamers to Boston, it can
supply its market with foreign goods of all
descriptions, and also with the innumerable

An Extensive Programme What the
Rebels Propose TO Do

The Montgomery (Ala.) Mail of a recent
date says:
Early in the coming spring, with our trans
Mississippi army, we must invade Missouri,
and with Gen. Lees army we must invade
Ohio, and with Gen. Johnston's army move
through Kentucky and Tennessee into Indiana
and Illinois; without this if we remain at
home, and attempt to defend thousand
points from thousand attacks from an enc
my commanding our seaboard and navigable
rivers, with ample means for transferring
their armies where they choose, and with
every part OF our territory assailable to cav
airy raids, our agriculture will be ruined and
our manufactures will be DESTROYED
Let US invade them with our whole force.
Missouri, Kentucky, Maryland, and the "cop-
perheads" will swell our ranks. We want
food, raiment, and gold. Let US go and take
what we need. The army will receive the
order, Forward TO the North" with a shout.
There let them stay until our ruthless inya-
ders call for peace. Better die there with
arms in our hands than starve here or expire
in chains. The best protection we can give
those we leave behind will be to get the
helpless Of the North as hostages in our
power
If our Mississippi army advances up
on St. Louis, and the Virginia army upon
the whole Federal army is withdrawn from
the South to defend Ohio and Missouri, Pitts
burg, Cincinnati and Chicago will be cap
tured by General Lee, and Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois will be overrun by our forces. and
Missouri will be rescued. But If the Federal
army should be withdrawn, as it certainly will
be, or else, il it should be greatly weakened
to defend st. Louis and Pittsburg, Gen. John
ston can without difficulty advance to the
Ohio aud liberate Tennessee and Kentucky.
Ii is perfectly clear that the invasion OF the
North will effect these prime objects.
]. 1t will free the whole. South from the
presence Of the Federal army. The militia
garrisons and our troops not in a condition to
march, can protect our homes against the
small force they may have to harrass us.
2 1t will supply us with all the horses,
equipments, clothing and articles OF every
kiQd needed by our soldiers.
y. The retaliatory infiction of the horrors
of war will make the North desire peace, and
make foreign nations see that we have the
power to annoy our enemy and dispose them
TO recognize us.
4. 1t will double our army instead of de-
pleting 1t.
5. 1t will end the war in our favor in one
year.
