1t is with the greatest regret we are called
TO record the decease of this estimable young
soldier, on the 18th inst.

he was graduate of Bowdoin College of
the class of 1854, and took high rank as a
scholar. His original purpose was to study
ior one OF the professions, but his burning and
quencnlsss love Of country impeled him to
ioreso this purpose for the time, and he en-
i's'eu 10 the service as a private, October 4th,

AoJutant. lie was ia the fights at Hatcher,
Run on the OH and 7Lh inst, as Acting Adm

The Spirit Of the Times.

We publish the following letter, oirecte
the agent for the Sanitary Commission as II
lustrating the devoted patriotism and Inc un-
firing generosity of the loyal people Oh 'niS
country. The same good work that these earn,
est scholars and noble women 10 the village OF
Washington have done, is being done, not once
or twice, but month after month and ali the
time, in almost every village and neighbor-
MOOD In Maine. 1t is something to live in
these times, and take an honorable part in the
transactions which make them so great:
WASHINGTON, Me-, Feb. 18th, 1865.
Str ;-Enclosed you will please find the sum
of fifty dollars $500, entrusted to your care
for the benefit of the Sanitary Commission,
the proceeds OF an Exhibition and Levee given
by the scholars and ladies of the village dis
trict, on Thursday evening, Feb. 9th 1865.
Washington has always been prompt in res
ponding to the call for men and money, and
she will not falter now. Although the young
err portion are few, the fire of patriotism still
burns in their hearts in remembrance of their
brave friends who have fallen on the bloody
fields in defence of our country.
Respectfully yours,
ORLANDO j. LINCOLN.
To Hon. Israel Washburn, Jr., Portland.
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1865-02-18

faithfuluess and answering rectitude he won
the esteem and confidence ofall his fellow SOL
dlers. An honorable career was open before
him."
Thus do we have to record another victim
to this internal rebellion ;-another family
made sorrowful by the foul spirit OF treason.
But he has laid down his precious Lille for the
GREAT CAUSE, and the costly sacrifice will
not he lost. As athe blood of the martyrs is
the seed of the Church." SO will the blood Oh
such heroes as these be the seed OF natlons
regeneration. The young and rich life of
T.eut. Gerrish has not been spent in vain; and
he natural sorrow of his parents and friends
may well be mitigated by the thought that it
was given for the salvation of his country.

GFThe Brunswick Telegraph says for years
the n,,ople Of Phipsburg have gathered coal upon
the bea oh, and Prof Bracket of Bowdoin COL
lege, suggests that coal bed extends along the
coast from Rhode Island to Nova Scotia, but too
far out to sea to be worked. We have seen nu-
merous specimens of the coal referred 10, always
Sound uusted upon the beach, and we have no
doubt the opinion of the more practical portion
OF the people of that region is correct that the
source of it all, if properly traced, would DC
round to be the cargoes of wrecked coal vessels
seVeraa of which Sre known to have been lost in
Shat vicinity. The rock formation is altogether
200 primitive to give promise of coal beneath it.

Late Rebel papers on the tUortslessness of their
osvp csrrency-Attack on Battery 1OmpktIss.
Grant Three miles sCest of Petersburg and
advancing. .r,.-s,.s .f
NEW YORK. Feb II.
Late rebel papers show that their new cur
rency is considered OF less value than the old.
There is no money even of this worthless
character in the Treasury to settle the i'm
mense outstanding accounts and the taxes are
believed to be as heavy as the people can
stand. The proposal to conscript negroes
having failed, they now have scheme of call
ing on them to volunteer.
The papers also have accounts of rebel mil
itary movements in N. c., and of preparations
to oppose Sherman.
A barge attack was made on the 18th on
Battery Tompkins, Charleston Harbor, but
was repulsed. rs IN
The Richmond Dispatch reports the landing
Of 10000 federals in NewberD, and believes
the object is an immediate advance on Raj
eigh or on the railroad lines. Gan. Grant Wis
tied Newbern lately.
The Dispatch of the 18th says all commun-
ication with Charleston and Augusta is cut of
and nothing is known of the situation of those
places.
The Enquirer of the 14th says Grant is
preparing to push forward his lines still
further having by his recent movement ad-
avanced them three miles west of Petersburg.
The soldiers agree upon the practicability OF
introducing the negroes to aid in solving the
difficulty before them.
The Examiner of the 18th saws II Sherman
takes Branchville he cuts our great railroad
artery, and Gen. Lee will have to gather his
supplies from other quarters than the rich
storehouses OF Southwestern Georgia.
