Portland, Me-, Jan. 1.-THE NoUdridR, from
Liverpool, Dec. 29th, and Londonderry, Dec. 30,
has arrived. Gen. Dixs order to pursue the
rebel raiders into Cannda attracted much attend
ton. The leading English journals hope it will
not be acted upon as it might cause trouble
The papers generally discountenance the idea of
being driven into untriendly relations with the
United States on account of raiders in Canada.

nothing better
New York, Jan l -The London Times saws;
If the United States Government is so i'll advised
as to send its troops over the Canadian border,
very serious misunderstanding between the

The New 1orK correspondent of the London
Times points,out that the Federal Government
gave notice in October tsintention to increase
its armament on the Lakes, and will therefore be
able by the opening of navigation in the St.

cultural society
which

cultural society
uons into Rarey
Icy are not encouraging agricul-
.-t0l' -, yng prizes for male and female eques-
trians that Playground is poor place to de-
liver abolition other political haranguesi that
prizes to the mechanical appliances of agricul-
ture, unless of local manufacture or inventon
do not advance the professed object of such a
society On this last point, particularly, it
should be observed that pateutees and manu-
facturers Of agricultural implements are well
rewarded by the privilege of exhibition of their
wares, and are asking too much if they expect
either prizes or the endorsement Of committees.
From this source alone has flowed more impo-
stion in the sale of farming machinery than all
others put together.
Having hinted at some of the things which it
isuot approriate for'an agricultural society to
do, we will give our ideas of the scope andpur-
poses Of such society:
1t should encourage the production Of seeds
adapted to the climate Of the country.
1t should encourage the cultivation of fruits
of every description that win grow proftably
utIti anu esptclhllJ CuOOut"SS Inv StN"'H Va
grapes, to which large portion of the valley
appears to be particularly suited
1t should endeavor to remedy the deficiency of
fre-wood by liberal prizes to those who may
putout the best plantations of timber.
It should devote a large portion of its monies
to the encouragement of stock-breedng, in all
its branches.
It should give prizes and honorary certificates
to the best louring-mills in the valley, and by
every means labor to establish the character OF
our farinaceous products
when a society has done all these things, il
has effected nearly all that it is desirable to do
by such an association; and may leave the bal
ance to individual exertions and ambition.
We have brought up this subject at this time
because is attracting some notice among oul
gzcys,.a-. - s.sstliat q i'll receive the
Ion it merits. For the present it looks as
if society would find difficulty in raising any
considerable quantity of money for its purpo-
ses; but it must be borne in mind that all such
organizations grow from small beginnings, and
from the benefits which they confer produce the
means for their own sustenauce.

EDS. ST4TsMAY:-The first veto of the session
was received from His Excelency, the Cover
nor, by the Council on Monday last.
local measure had passed the Legislature,
altering the boundary lines between Pierce and
King counties, which constitutes the section of
country of the late silver quartz discoveries
His Excellency thought there might be 'copper'
as well as silver and gold in said mining district,
or in the act assigning it to Pierce county, which
is Democratic; whilst the county of King is des-
perately loyal; and His Excelency returned the
bill with very modest veto, assuring the legs-
lative assembly that none of the honest and re-
spectacle citizens of Pierce county desired the
boundary lines changed. This raised the ire of
the Hon Councilman from Pierce, who went at
it, with an affidavit from ''honest and respecta-
BILE citizens of Pierce county," which mildly in
timated that the position assumed by his ROYAL
Hghness was s1ghXY incorrect, and that the veto
power never contemplated any such overt act
The Council sustained their action in the prem
ises, by passing the bill over the veto of the
Governor, by seven to one.
The Specific Contract Act passed the House
on Dec. 23d, but was recOnsidered on the oath,
in order to give members an opportunity ofput-
ting their votes on record-the yeas and nays
not having been ordered on its passage-and
Jam 4th was assigned for its consideration.
On its being brought up, Mr.. Ruddle, of Thurs
ton, made short and labored speech in which
he endeavored to prove his loyalty and was re-
piled to by bIr. Dugan, of Walla Wala who as
sumed to, be par excellence loyal man, as he
had 'taken the oath with His Excellency, the
Governor, at least three times day during the
session. He made short pthy speech, and
said that he was nursing his wrath to keep it
warm" and should the bill return with the
Governors Veto he would uncork his walls. and
show the cOntrayening and nullifyng procliyi-
ties and practices Of the party who had placed
Mr.. Lincoln in power, during the last twenty
five years and demolish them generally. But
alas for human expectations. "The best laid
schemes of mice and men gang oft aglee.n Mr.,
Clymer here introduced the Quinn Thornton
amendment, which was kicked out of the Oregon
Legislature, and though it was violently OPP
posed by Brown, Dwelly, Lacy and some 9th
ers, and would have been defeated-the friends
of the bill having clear majOrity-yet Mr. Du-
gan accepted the amendment and voted for it,
thereby passing the bill in such shape that it
amounts to nothing. 1t is possible that this
bill, perhaps the most important of the session,
may be shorn Of its paralyzing amendment in
the Council but should it pass in its present
shape, the Governor will scarcely think it ne-
cessary to interpose his veto.

ABOUT THE New OREGON REGIMENT.-The
entire cost to the State, of raising the regiment,
under Gibbs call, says the Oregon Arena, "will
not fall under thirty thousand dollars another
little item to the one hundred and fifty thousand
dollars bounty appropriation for future taxes.
That single message of Gibbs supposed to have
been written by his wife, cost the State, as it
will thus be seen, between four and five times as
much as the entire yearly expense of the State
Government while Whteaker was Governor.
Then brains controlled-now, Gu-ibbs does -
The Arena is mistaken. If Gibbs wife writes
the messages, IA thing generally supposed) it
is a clear case that Madam Gibbs CONTROLS now;
in other words, the State is laboring under the

HALIFAX, Feb. 2-The Africa, from Liver

here this morning with two days later
news.
The London Globe authoritatively con-
tradicts rumors that British troops have
been sent to Canada.
The new steamer Columbian, of the West
India and Pacific company, which left
Liverpool on the 10th ult., sunk on the 18th
off Brest, where she was reported to have
run for shelter. Thirty of her crew and
one passenger were drowned. Only three
of the crew were saved. The lost passen-
ger was Mr.. John Hamilton, of Liverpool,
the representative of the Panama railroad
company.
1t is denied that Her Majesty, Queen Vic
toria, will open Parliament in person.
The shipping of the Atlantic telegraph
cable to the vessels which are to carry it to
the steamship Great Eastern, commenced on
the 10Th of January, and will continue
without intermissiOn to the end of May,
when all the cable will be coiled on board.
The London Times has very hopeful
article on the enterprise, and says that
should the weather prove favorable there
can be little doubt that it will be success
fully done. The directors of the Atlantic
Telegraph Company have made fourth
and final call upon shares of that company.

FORTRESS MONROE, Jan. 3l.-The steamer
Warrior arrived here to-day from Fort Fish
er. Up to Sunday last nothing of impor-
tance had taken place. Several of our gun
boats were moving up Cape Fear river to
the vicinity of one of the rebel forts, prob
ably with the intention of bombarding it.
The steamship Cahawba arrived here this
afternoon from Hilton Head with over 500
rebel prisoners captured by Sherman in his
late campaign.
The Cahawba hailed from Hilton Head
last Saturday, and brings intelligence of
the highly gratifying success attending
thus far, the opening of the campaign in
South Carolina. One portion of Sherman's
army moved direct from Savannah, Ca, and
the other, consisting of two corps, moved
from Beaufort, 5. c., and were both rapidly
advancing against Charleston, S. G. Latest
intelligence from the army represents it to
be less than forty miles from Charleston.
The rebels were Offering resistance at every
point from every available position for de-
fense. Forage and subsistence are found
in large quantities by our soldiers, as they
follow the retreating steps of the rebels.
Foster was cooperating with the army I'M
der Gen. Sherman, and the movements of
our troops throughout South Carolina are
but the precursors of a far more terrible
and disastrous campaign to the rebels. The
lines of Sherman were being gradually con-
tracted, and it was probable that no desper-
ate resistance would be made or little offer
ed until our forces had reached within few
miles of Charleston, where the main body
of the rebel forces would be concentrated
to make one last terrible effort to save the
State from the inroads of Sherman's con-
quering army.

THE CONCERT AT NAUGHToN HALL
This Concert last evening was attended by
a large and fashionable audience, Mr..
Gottschalk played on the piano with that
case, grace and rare musical conception and
ability, for which he is so justly celebrated,
and was several times encored In some
of the pieces he performed, he seemed even
to surpass the expectations of the audience,
high as these were.
OF Miss Lucy Simons, we can hardly
speak in terms sufficiently strong to do
her the merest justice. The beauty of
her personal appearance is only sur
passed by the sweetness and trueness in
the intonation of her voice, and she charms
all by the lite and spirit of her musical
Interpretation. Last eveningshe was cheer
ed rapturously each time she appeared,
and when she sang the "Mother's Cradle
Song" in English, such was the thrilling
effect upon the audience that spontaneous
bursts of applause broke forth, and its rep
etition was loudly called for, and given
with the same effect as at first.
Tonight is advertised as the second and
last of MIR. Gottschalk's concerts at Naugh-
ton Hall.
