Mr.. EDIroR:-I have looked over the list of
persons who were made or who made them
selves prominent at the late Soldiers Conven-
ton. I find plenty of generals, colonies, Off
GERS of high and low degree, but none of the
rank and file, no soldiers; at least, none to
speak Of c. ~ = sl-.
There was good deal of talk there about
soldiers having the political offices. Why did
not they say officers having them? That is
what they meant Why didn't they begin
themselves to give offices to soldiers, and not
give all their own Convention offices to late ar-
my officers? - --,.,
If man who has served in the army must
have political Office by necessary right, why
must MT he have the fat takes in civil life gen.
orally the bank presidencies, corporation
managements, ETC.?
But why must soldiers have office more than
some other folks? Why, one says, because
they have periled their lives for the public
good. Does that hold? If 80, thenI want to
go to Congress right off. 1, sir, am railway

The Saco Democrat says that Mr.. .Benja-
min Elwell, who died at Kennebunk on Sun
day of last week at the advanced age of rs
years, has worked as a boot and shoe maker on
one spot at Kennebec Landing for so years.
The officers of the U. s. Coast Survey who
have been engaged recently in an examination
of the mouth of the Saco have finished their
work. The Democrat says they have decided
that good and permanent channel can be
regulated by building pier from Jordan's
Point on the south side of the river, to the old
pier on the bar, which would make it about
one-half a mile long; they recommend that it
should be 20 feet wide at the bottom, Is feet
wide at the top and ~ feet at the bottom. With
sucha pier they estimate that there will be
twelve feet of water upon the bar at any of on,
usual tides.
We learnfrom the Wing that about 500 gal.
Ions of liquors and nearly barrel full of bot.
ties of Sulphate of Morphine were seized BY
the Custom House officers in Bangor on Thurs
day 1t was on board the schooner Adala
which was also seized and is in possession Of
the officers. The owner forgot to pay duties
on the goods and in consequence will lose
more than he could make on several legitimate
transactions. ns

The Bangor Whig learns that pedlers are
going about that section dressed in sailors gart
selling goods which they say have been Snug.

cheap. This the Bangor Wing says is mere
trick to deceive, the parties have regular Ii.
cense, and the smuggling story is only hum.

NEW YORK, May %.
The details of the fight at Callao are pub
lished. The Peruvians had seven batteries,
mounted with 32-pounder guns, and 500
FOUNDER Armstrong; and 400-pounder Blake
ly rifles, besides the iron clads Loa and Victo-
ria, and three wooden gunboats. In less than
hall an hour the Villa de Madrid had her mo-
tive power deranged, and was towed out of
action. The Daren guela moved out twenty
minutes later, having received heavy rifled
shot near the water line, leaking badly, and
Obliged to careen to prevent sinking At
half past two the Blanca and Resolution re-
tired TO repair injuries, but soon returned 10
their positions, and with the lest of the fleet,
except the two first named, continued the
hight to the end OF the action. Soon after the
commencement of the battle Peruvian bat
terry containing two 300-pounder Armstrong;
was blown up, dismounting the guns, and
Killing and wounding every one in the vicinity
In another battery a 300-pounder Armstrong
was dislnounted at the first fire. With this
exception the fire of the Peruvian batteries
was heavy and well directed, and every mo-
ment became more fatal and destructive.
The Peruvians are said to have lost sixty
killed and 470 wounded. The shot disabling
the steam pipe of the Villa de Madrid killed
eighteen and wounded twenty-one, and it was
thought therefrom that the total Spanish loss
far exceeded that OF the Peruvians. The Vii
la de Madrid had eight holes in her side. The
Blanca was struck forty times, and the others
nearly as many. The Numanca being an
iron-clad came off very well, but one S-inch
rifle projectile pierced her 1-2 inch plating,
and went partly through the wooden backing
