INDEPENDENT COURSE.

Lecture by Hon. Richard H. Dana, Jr.
We anticipate rare pleasure this evening in
listening to the lecture of Mr.. Dana. This
gentleman, many years since, became first pc p
ularly known as the author of an exceedingly
interesting work, called 1.-TWO YEARS BEFORE
THE MAST" Though highly educated and
thoroughly accomplished, for purposes Of
health and pleasure he shipped On board
whaler, and did the ordinary services of sail
or ''before the mast" through a voyage of two
years, and this volume was a graphic descrip-
tion of that kind of life Few books have
been more generally read by the people.
But his present high reputation rests on
more solid ground than mere authorship. He
has become distinguished as a lawyer and
Statesman. A
As lawyer, it is sufficient to say that he
holds the important position of United States
District Attorney for the District of Mass
chusetts.
AS statesman he has taken front rank
among the ablest men of New England
= Throughout the rebellion, he has not only
been thoroughly and radically loyal, but has
used his eloquent voice and graceful pen with
untiring assiduity and potent effect for the
right. His services for the country, and es-
pecially for the down-trodden black race, have
been of inestimable value.
His announced subject, "AMERIcAN 10y
Atty" will call out his best powers. AS an
eloquent speaker, holding his audience by both
manner and matter, he stands preeminert.
We trust no loyal citizens of Portland will fail
to be present this evening. If they do, the
loss to them will be serious one.
The public are greatly indebted to this
Course for the effort to present to our thought
full citizens the views of the best minds of the
nation upon the all-absorbing questions of the
hour. We trust the effort will meet gener-
GUS and hearty response. The "clash of arms''
is over, but the clash of ideas has now begun
The contest between Right and Wrong is
waged as relentlessly as ever. The people
must take sides. One of the most efficient
= modes of conducting this contest, is by just
such methods as the Independent Course of
Lectures presents. The platform and lecture
room, in conjunction with the public press.
are the educators of the popular mind, and the
controllers OF the popular will and popular
action.
We understand that the Committee of the
Course have not only secured lecture from
Gen. FITZPATRICK, as announced yesterday.
but we are happy to say, they expect soon
to be able to announce the name of Gen. j. L.
CHAMBERLAIN of this state. Should they be
SO fortunate as to secure him for lecture, it
may be fair to presume that he will favor our
people with his great lecture on Gettysburg
Gen. Chamberlain, it will be remembered
commenced his military career as Colonel OF
Maine regiment, and won his way by hard
fighting to the rank of Major General. Maine
may well beproud of him.

From 1Iesico.

New YORK, Nov. 23.
The Herald's Brownsville correspondence of
the 2Sth ult., states that the Liberal forces
were then within 200 yards of the rifle pits in
front OF Matalnoras, and had successfully re-
sisted that morning an effort of the Imperial
lists to dislodge them. The reported attack of
the 25th was nothing more than a reconnois-
ance, but Gen. Hanajasa was repulsed and
wounded in working an unsupported attack
on a fort south OF Matamoras. His repulse
was mainly effected by the gunboat Paisans,
which it is alleged fired into officers who
cheered from the American side of the Rio
Grande, for the gallantry displayed in their
charge. Gen. Weitzel is having this affair in
vestigated. 4o oe we
The Liberals lost less than fifty. Jusrez
was at La Soledad in Chihuahua, and has no
intention of abandoning the contest. The
Liberals before Matamoras are in good spirits
and well supplied. Escaboda had thanked
Gen. Weitzel for the loan of tents in which to
place the wounded Liberals. - afI

The Hollowness of Southern unionism.

recent convention in that State, and says of
their work: &For myself with every DISPOSE

sums up: "There is no hearty acquiesence in
"the result of the war There is no love of

"sent to certain terms of restoration, but the
"promise is kept to the ear only to be broken

The directors of the Board of Trade have
taken action with view to the consolidation
Of the cities of Washington, Georgetown, and
the remainder of the county of Washington,
into one Municipality, instead of being as at
present under the control of five district author

that the Board Of Trade, representing SO large
an amount of the property and trade of this
district, should take the lead in this movement,
in order to procure an efficient and harmonic
Gus municipal government.
