Encouragement Of Rebel Deserters


To the Editor Of the Press:
A large meeting has recently been held Of
Philadelphia for the relief of rebel desertors
The meeting passed the following resolution !.
"That we cordially approve of the course Of
the Government in continuing to enconra 90
rebel soldiers to throw down their arms onoS
avail themselves of the pardon which IL otfars
and in aid of this policy we will welcomo
them to the North, and use our best efforts -,
provide for them food, and shelter and honor,
able employment" --o1o1-

press the same kind feeling towards rebel das.
erters, Gen. Lee would soon lose half his army
The writer was at Gen. Grants HEADQUARTERS
recently, and conyersed with many deserters
who had just come into our lines. One initial.
ligent young man from South Carolina said
"The only fear l have in going North is. that
your people will think 1 have done mean
thing, and point the finger of scorn at me-" I
told him that he need have no such appreheu-
sions; that we had no i'll feeling towards the
privates in the rebel army; that he would he
treated kindly, and find plenty of work. His
reply was, "if that is so, and Gen. Lees army
knew 1t, more than half of them would de-
sert." Why not hold meeting at Portland.

RTAe great gift enterprise in Boston has
come to sudden grief. and its projectors have
been arrested by the police. We have very
stringent law here in the state Of Maine, the en-
forcenent of which would put an efEectual ex-
tinguisher upon great deal of humbuggery
often practiced upon our people. The "fakir"
business, recently SO rampant, by which large
halls are filled to witness two or three very Or
binary tricks in legerdemain, and to draw a
blank in lottery for sick horse or q bedstead,
is unquestionably palpable and pain violation
of law.
VWe have received long communication
from Yarmouth in relation to the late Town
Meeting in that place, endorsing the account
we gave of it in the Press and taking some no
tice of the articles in the Advertiser on the same
subject As no material fact stated in the Press
has been contradicted, and that account stands
unimpeached, we do not think it worth while to
reopen the case The copperheads of Var
mouth must be efectually put down by straight
forward, honest voting, and in this way we feel
confident they win be overcome whenever oppor-
tunity for SO doing is again within reach of the
Union men of the town.

A Valuable Capture by sheridau,s Men.

During the recent raid Of Sheridan, when
passing Old Church, fifteen Yankees came
suddenly upon D. W. Sly, VIM. Burns, and
Kendall, who were en- route from Richmond
to the Potomac river. They were completely
and thoroughly stripped OF all their trunks,
containing valuables to large amount. d.
W. Sly had, it is said, four hundred dollars in
gold, eight hundred in silver, and thirty thou
sand in Confederate money. William Burns,
well known in this city, had five thousand dol
lars in gold, twenty three hundred pounds
sterling, and diamonds valued at eight hum
dred and fifty thousand dollars in Confeder-
ate currency. Kendall had also consider
able amount of money and valuables. We
have learned nothing of the fate of the unfor-
Inmates since captured, or their probable des-
tination.-[F From the Richmond Enquirer,
Mar. Path.
The above points moral as we'll as it adorns
a tale. This fellow, VIM. Burns, is a we'll
known sporting character, If our memory is
not at fault, and resided in Baltimore. In ad-
dition, he was dashing politician and one of
the leaders in the old Democratic party. He
was the boon companion of the young bloods
of Baltimore. In the earlier stages of the
war he went to Richmond, played good
hand, shuffled his best cards, cheated his COM
rades and made quite "pile." He was run
ming away from the broken faro bank in Rich
mond when PHIL SHERIDAN bounced upon
him. Phil's men made good haul, saving
and excepting the Confederate currency
That don't add much to the value of the plum
aer' but the gold, silver and diamonds shine.
