Board of Trade.

A special meeting of the Board of the Trade
was held last evening. The President and
Vice-Presidents being absent, Charles H. Has
kell, Esq, was appointed President pro tenn.
Franklin Sawyer, John M. Brown, Samuel
j. Anderson, Charles B. Varney, Peleg Bark
er, Thomas F. Lamb, Frank W. Smith. E. P.
Millet. Charles Clark, G. C. Tyler, Franklin
Fox, Almon A. Strout, Lewis B. Smith, and
Thomas Asencio were admitted members.
Several names were proposed for member
ship, which stand over to the next meeting.
Hon. ]. B. Brown made some interesting
remarks in relation to the future business
prospects of our city. In his opinion the pros
perity ofthe city and of the State for the next
decade would depend chiefly upon manufac-
lures.
He therefore urged the Importance of es-
tablishing various manufactures of articles
that could be easily furnished here, but which
we were now obliged to go out of the State to
procure. He also spoke of the necessity of
the erection of dwelling houses, and mention
ed the difficulty experienced, especially by
mechanics, to obtain suitable accommodations
for their families. He thought more attention
should be paid to manufactures and less to
commerce. He specified several branches of
manufactures which might properly be estab-
lished here.
The remarks of Mr.. Brown were received
with general favor by the members present,
and after some remarks from Messrs. F. o.
Libby, L. 81. Haskell and others, it was voted
that when the meeting adjourns 1t should be
to Saturday evening, May goth, for the pur-
pose of considering the matters brought up
by Mr.. Brown. Adjourned.

Another Friend Of our Country Gon.

The Liberal party Of Europe and Of this
country has sustained great loss in the re-
cent death OF Mr.. Samuel Lucas. the manag-
ing proprietor of the Morning Star. He died
OF the same malady as Mr.. Golden, and ex-
actiy fortnight afterwards. We afe glad he
lived long enough to hear of the fall of Rich
mond and the speedy termination of the re-
bellion-an event which he had anticipated
with the eager confidence of a man who be-
lieved that just cause must triumph in the
end. Mr.. Lucas was the brother in-law of
Mr.. Bright. Many years ago Mr.. Lucas was
the founder of the Manchester Public Schools
Association, says the correspondent of the
Toronto Globe, and his labors in popular edu-
cation brought him into communication with
many distinguished persons of Canada and
the United States. He greatly admired the
free school system of our country. He was
also one of the founders of the Emancipation
Society which so successfully turned the tide
of English popular sympathy against the Con-
federacy. This Society and the great meet
ings throughout the country prevented the
recognition ofthe Southern Government.
ooh, Sir ! the good die first,
And they whose hearts are dry as summers dust

NORTH CARoLINA.-Gov. Vance seems to
have taken it for granted that the downfall of
the rebel cause makes no change in his off,
cial relations to the State. He has therefore
issued proclamation advising everybody to
act in peaceable and orderly manner, and
inviting "the good and true soldiers Of North
Carolina, whether they have been surrendered
and paroled or otherwise" to unite under the
civilmagistrates to prevent depredations while
he is doing all in his power to settle the gov
ernment of the State.
The Raleigh papers denounce this proclama.
ton as an act of usurpation, and claim to be de-
livered from Vance. The Standard, which
we believe has not changed hands since
Raleigh was taken, repudiates him, and de-
mands a free election.

Portrait of Senator Fsssendsn.

Moses Titcomb, Esq, son of the late Rev
Benjamin Titcomb, of Brunswick, who was
native Of Portland, and himself long resi-
---Eor LIS own use, and at his own expense. ha6
fine portrait taken OF the Hon. VIM. P. FEES
ssnden. Mr.. Titcomb writes to me. ct Is
painted in the academic school of Washington
by an artist who served thirty years in IL {
schools at Rome" Another friend in Wash.
ington writes, "The portrait was taken by @,
Brumide, an italian artist of acknowledge d
skill and ability, and is, I think, an admirable
one. As picture, it is highly successful, in
expression, attitude and coloring. From an
authentic source, am able, in reference to its
merits, to give the remark of Senator Foote.
OF Vermont, warm friend of Mr.. Fessen-
den's, that the painting gave more Of the
character of the man, than any other painting
he ever saw.'n The writer adds, 81 think it
would give pleasure to the friends CT Mr.. Fes-
sender in Portland, to have the opportunity
of seeing it.'
With this view Mr.. Titcomb has sent the
portrait to me, to have it placed in nay house I;
but has consented that should give our fel-
low citizens, generally, free opportunity to
see 1t. have, therefore, by consent of the
Mayor, placed it In the Council Room Of the
City Ball, where the friends of Mr.. Fessenden.
and other persons, are invited to examine it,
as work Of high art, and as living presen-
tatioR of distinguished public man.
MY friend in Washington, from whose COM
munication Ihave made extracts above, closes
his letter by most hearty expressions of re-
spect toward Mr.. Fessenden, in the following
terms: II am not aware of any statesman now
before the country, whose talents and emil
nent fidelity to every trust, are more freely
and extensively acknowledged. Every true
son OF Maine should cherish cordial interest
In his welfare, honorable progress, and future
usefulness to the country"
Mr.. Titcomb desires me to say that dis
lance OF about twelve feet from the portrait
Is the best position for obtaining a proper ef-
feet of the expression.
In looking upon this fine picture, we can
imagine the Secretary bordering the deep
problems OF finance; and considering how he
snal provide for the immense expenditure
which the emergencies Of the country demand
we may imagine him saying, 81 must limit
the circulating currency to prevent too great
depreciation; | must establish loan which
will be popular, of which every person of mod
crate circumstances all over the land, NAV par
take, and which will be the least burdensoma n
the country. Having determined these d,es
cult questions, he has the satisfaction to
know, that his conclusions have met with pub-
lie appreciation and been entirely successful.
We aow see him in dgnifed repose, awaiting
the Judgment of posterity.

To the Editor Of the Press:
am no newspaper correspondent, but my
surprise at letter from the 9th A. c., in your
daily of April 26, leads me to make an attempt
to correct false impression which may have
been made by that letter.
am Maine Boy, and glory in the good
name of any Of our Maine Regiments, and am
glad to say the First Maine Veterans is
one of our best, and will acknowledge that
the Sixth Corps, is good Corps,-but when
man says the Sixth Corps took Petersburg,
or even intimates 1t, beg leave to differ, and
will give my reasons.
Truly, Gen. Weitzel entered Richmond, but
Icould not see the 9th Corps clearing the way.
Our lines from the Appomattox to the ex-
treme LETT Hatcher's Rum covered dis
lance OF twenty-seven miles.-The 9th A. c.
held the lines from the Appomattox to Fort
Howard a distance oil nine miles; at the left
OF the 9th lay the 9th, and still on their left
were the I'd and 9Th. You will see by this
that the 9th Corps covered one third, while
the I'd, 9TH and 9th A. Cs. held the other t,uo
thirds.
When the,charge was made, April I'd, Gen.
Grifin's Brigade of the I'd Div, 9thA. c.,
charged the two rebel Forts in front of our
Forts, Davis and Sedgewick usually called
Fort He'll land with severe loss carried
the works and held them, till the Rebels evac-
uated Petersburg and Richmond.
Farther ahead than Petersburg the 9th did
no fighting, for the simple reason that it was
ordered to do guard duty from Petersburg,
along the South Side r. R., as far as the army
should advance. At the time of Lees surren-
der, two Divs. of the 9th guarded the entire
length of r. r. from Petersburg to Burksville.
Neither shall / enter into the details Of the
battles, but beg to inform IN. o. that there
may be mighty deeds recorded which hap
pened IN the fight; perhaps he did not see any
of them.
He may be like another man in the 9th
Corps, with whom had some talk. When I
asked him what part of the lines the 9th
Corps charged, replied, WELT was in front
of Petersburg He could not tell aokere, to
savehis life. $50
As M. o. says-I am willing to let the can
den of the day. SO will drop the subject.
Portland has men in this Regiment, and
good men, and will refer you to any Of them
as to the truth of my statements.
Now few words with regard to the 31st
Regiment. We have been in camp about two
miles from Alexandria, for ten days, drilling
and fitting mp for trip to Maine. Many
doubt our going home before the expiration
of our term of service, but have it from the
best authority, that we are to be discharged
before the LIST of July. The Regiment now
numbers about seven hundred men,-at pres
ent under the command of Capt. Sargent OF
Portland. Hoping soon to see old Maine, l
remain, Yours Very Respectfully,
