Tua AMENDMENT IN THE MAINE LEors.

THa AMENDMENT IN THE MAINE LEdIs'
LAruRE.-" Toby Candor" OF the Boston
Journal gives lively account OF the In
cidents connected with the ratification
OF the Constitutional amendment in the
Maine Legislature, The question was
taken by yeas and nays. After the roll
had been completed the writer says
All eyes were at once turned to the
Speaker, while breathless silence reign
ed. By this sublime act" said the
Speaker, the State of Maine ratities
the amendment of the Constitution Of
the United States, whereby slavery is
abolished forevp In the United States
God save the State Of Maine"
The result was no sooner made known
than the decorum of the House was no
longer preserved. AS If by mutual con.
sent there was spontaneous shout of
applause and clapping of hands, making
the scene one of tumultpous joy. The
ladies present were also inspired with
the spirit OF the hour, and jubilantly
waived their handkerchiefs, while the
band in one of thel galleries struck up
The Star Spanged Banner, playing the
glorious piece with zest they never
did before, and which stirred to its in
nermost depths the loyal hearts of those
present. One Of the members proposed
three cheers for the rights of man"
and they were given with deaiening eff
feet. Another, three cheers for Abra-
ham Lincoln, and these were stunning.
Another, three cheers for Lieut.. Gen.
Grant, and these were pet-tongued.
Another, three cheers for the OH Union,
and these were resembling. Another
for the Union, and these were splitting.
Another for the old Constitution, and
these were uproarious. Another forIthe
old Constitution as amended, and these
were ear-splitting. Another for "Our
brave soldiers in the field who have won
this great victory" and they were vO-
ciferous. Another for the Governor of
Maine, and they were stentOrian. An
other for the three peace Commission
ers-Grant, Thomas and Sherman-and
these were rending while the last three
cheers were given for The noble
women of the United States, God bless
'em, and they were Illuminated with
will.
When order was restored recess was
taken lin order that the people might
have good time generally, whereupon
Attorney General Peters opened the ex-
ercises by stating that he was thrilled
with emotion to the tips of his fingers.
After other thrilling remarks by distin,
guished gentlemen the exercises were
brought to close by the singing of
Old Hundred in general chorus, and the
house adjourned.

completed its allotted task in subduing the
rebellion, has arrived in the vicinity of WASH
ington from the South. The corps left Richmond
the 24th ult.. taking the same route on which
several of the other corps had previously pro-
ceeded on their homeward march, across the
Chickahominy and Pamunky by Hanover Court
House and Fredericksburg, and past other local
tiles which will ever hereafter be memorable
from the fierce struggles of which they have
been the scenes. The roads in the Chickahoml-
ny and Pamunky region were equally as bad as
when the Army of the Potomac moved over
them in 1862, having been cut up and rendered

and prevailing rains. The march of the Sixth
corps was consequently much protracted.

HOME AND SCHOOL FOR SOL
NJ DIERS' ORPHAN CHILDREN.

We to-day publish our first page, in con-
nection with the standing prospectus of the
JOURNAL, addition which will claim the at
needy orphan children of our gallant Union sol
ders who have been slain in the late rebellion.
That which has been, and is yet, the fondest wish
of the Proprietor of this paper, and which has
been in contemplation for over a year, now
assumes definite shape, and calls for the ear
nest support of the friends of national Home
and School for Soldiers Orphan Children.
The promises for its success seem to be very
bright The profits of the JOURNAL have already
reached the snug sum of Fifteen Hundred Dol
lars, and are rapidly increasing. Every dollar
of this will be given to the proposed Home and
School, and it will form fitting nucleus for a
larger sum intended for the benefit of children,
as it was first and almost entirely saved from
indirectly in the purchase of the JoURNAL-yet
given freely and with knowledge of the object
in view.
We trust that all who may read this article
support. Let the plan, that it has as
sumed definite shape, not lag for the want of
the aid whicloit so richly deserves. None can
lose by their contributions, as the JOURNAL, well
worth the subscription price, will be sent to all
desiring it in return for their money.
We hope, before many issues, to chronicle
complete success. 1ftle't tet

me Dry Goals Tad.

The trade in dry goods In New York mas
been dull during the past week. There was
the decline In demand usually expsrisncsd Al
mis- season, which, connected with the move
1nents IN cotton, produced WEAKNESS in cot
ION fahrics. Prices Of cotton goods were most
lower tnan the week previous, though GER
ten styles, specially in demand, were toler-
adj nrm. There was no inclination among
Joooefs to take any more goods than they coulG
declined. The production Is generally in
creased, and stocks are steadily augmenting.
The movements of cotton are closely watched,
and amonr iobbers the opinion prevails that
increased receipts OF raw material W i'll soon
put down prices. Heavy sheetings are now
held at 2sa29c.; fine goods, however, sell at
proporiiopately higher figures
The trade in woelens il steady, and prices
without any material change. There is less
sale Tor light cassimereS as the season ad.
vances, but heavy goods are in demand, and
good STYLES are sold ahead at 81 .2saS2 so; some
light fancies, in heavy weights. are also want
ed. Saunets are selling more freely. and bet
ter prices have been realized for blacks and
heavy goods. There is very little doing in
special movement and for army goods there
Is no demand. Prices for carpets remain the
same, and there Is quite an active demand
Inc trade In foreign manufactures steadily
TeciIpes as the close OF the season approaches
7 here is still good demand for light dress
fabrics OF all kinds, but the stock of desirable
styles Is almost closed out of first hands The
sales at auction during ths week have been
light, and prices rather lower, owing TO the
tact that the rff-rings have consisted chiefly of
closing out lots of undesirable styles.
The imports for the week were light being
