Business is fast reviving here. The

The Circuit Court for this city is now
fully organized Sheriff Wright, who
was elected some time since, has AT last
been permitted by the consent of the
military authorities to take the oath of
office | presume all the officers will
gradually be permitted to enter on the
duties of their offices. My own opinion
has from the first been that it was better
for the city not to have yet a full organ
lied city government. There has been
so many soldiers and such an influx of
negroes here from the country, that an
ordinary city police could not control
these elements and keep order in the city
as we'll as the military, therefore for the
present, it is better they should exercise
this power
In June and Julya large number of
negroes docked into this city from all
parts of the State You know they
desire above all things to live in
towns and cities. They seemed
to labor under the impression that while
they remained in the country their free
dom was not perfected, and particularly
if they were required to work. They
have great adherence to hoeing corn
and tobacco; indeed they seem to think
that no person can be free except he is
at liberty to go at large without the ne
cessity to labor in the fields but these
people found that they could not live in
this city and be supported by other peo
pie, without labor on their part, and in
the last two months they have been reg
lularly disappearing, so that now they

CoLLATIoNs FOR OUR SoLDIERs.-It hes
been remarked by soldiers of every regiment
and squad that have arrived home from the
war, that the collations furnished them in Port
land exceeded anything they have participated
in since they left home. These collations have
been got up at the Portland & Kennebec depot,
by Mr.. Higgins and his able and efficient as
sistant, Mr., Isaac Ingersoll; and the tables
have been spread with all the Inquiries that the
market affords, and without stint. We have
witnessed many Of these feasts, and have heard
the swar-worn and bronzed veterans express
their satisfaction, not only with the feast, but
with the kind and attentive conduct of Messrs.
Higgins & Ingersoll. The soldiers say they
put Philadelphia next to Portland. They OBJ
tanned good collation., and the people of that
city make grand arrangements for their COM
fort. In other cities through which they pass

D. s. CIRCUIT COURT,
oLIFFoRp, PREsIDINe

JUDGE CLIFFORD, PRESIDING. eqa
TuEsDAY.-Thomas Trecartrin VS.. ship
Rochambeau-J John E. Donnell claimant and
appellant. s.folai ss.ejs IL roefls
This was libel for seamans wsges. Libel
liant shipped on board ship Rochambeau at St.
John, N. B., April q, 1858, and signed at St
John, N. b., the shipping articles produced in
the case, at the rate of S25 per month: and
went from there upon several voyages des-
cr!bed in the libel, without signing anv new
shipping articles. The slip arrived al Port
land, July 1864, when libellant was discharged;
and his whole time of services on all voyages
being fourteen months and seven days.
The principal question in the case was, as
the lbellant commended, in what currency the
stipulated wages should be paid. The District
Court held the libellant entitled to recover the
balance due him ato be paid in specie or its
equivalent" Judge Clifford held that as the
stipulated wages were to be at the rate of
twenty-five dollars per month, and that the
voyage was to end in aport of the United
States, the question presented Is not in what
currency the Hbellant is to be paid, but how
much he is to recover. He could not sustain
the theory Of the ibellant 90 gss5sss (. VIZ.
1.-Because it assumes that the execution,
when issued win be satisfedin our paper cur
rency, whereas the Marshal may levy the same
upon the gold or silver currency of the stipula-
2.--Because it assumes that dollar here is 4
worth less than where the contract was sign
ed, Of which there is no proof unless it be as
stunned that dollar here necessarily means
dollar in paper currency, which cannot be adj
mitted sna1gmas saksxd es7sm ,aoAfi
3.-Because it is utterly inconsistent with
the words of the contract, twenty-five dollars
per month" and an allowance of more than
that would be to introduce new provision !
into the contract, to which the parties had not
aszented There is, therefore, no question of
the reduction OF one currency to another, and
it is immaterial whether the contract is gov
erned by the law of the place where it was
made, or by that of the place where it is to be
performed When the contract for wages is
expressed in dollars and cents, and the same
is to be performed here, the party entitled to
recover can have no more than the amount
specified in the contract q Jd 4giit aaantai
The decree of the District Court must there
fore be modified accordingly with costs for
libellant in that Court, the appellant to recover
no costs inthis Court except the proper charges

The Herald's Washington dispatch says that
a report has been received at the Bureau OF

the subject of outrages committed upon
negroes. The report states that prior TO the
dissemination Of our troops through the in
terror of the South, many slaves were hunted
and shot down and left in the woods while en-
deavoring to reach our lines. This accounts
for their bodies being found there, but since
