reaction in favor of Confederation is going on.
Even with the present House, the Government
could command majority; but as the vote
might be rather close to be safe or polite, the
Confederates wish a dissolution, knowing that
1t would greatly strengthen their party. With
a new House the Government would have a
large majority - would command at least q
votes in House of Al members This conclu-
sionis arrived at after making every allowance.
There is little doubt but dissolution will be re-
solved on.

POLITICAL.

Secretary Stanton's adherence to the Pres
ident's policy, semi-oficially announced day
or two since, is said toexcite no surprise among
those who were acquainted with his opinions
1t will be curious matter to watch the devel-
opement of Democratic fellowship for this new
convert. Hitherto the announcement is re-
ceived in blank silence. s.
The Presidents resort to intimidation by
the use of his supposed unlimited sway of pub
Lie patronage, is likely to prove failure. The
Senate has refused to confirm the nominations
of Frank Blair for Collector of Internal Reye-
nue. at st. Louis and 1. " Finlay for Assessor
of Internal Revenue at Baltimore. Both are
avowed opponents of the policy of the Con-
gress. The Senate also decides that adyertis-
ing should be given to newspapers which have
the largest circulation which means in WASH

Maj. Gen. Meade and staff were taken to

was much to be regretted that the General
felt himself obliged to leave the city by the af-
ternoon train on account of the state of his
health, which, however, is better than when
he went to Eastport. He hoped, he said, to
make our city visit during the ensuing sum-

The reason why Gen. Frank Blair was re-

Revenue for the district of St. Louis, has not

the result; among others, by Lt.-Gen. Grant,
who says thatto him the country is indebted
more than to any other man that Missouri was
prevented from seeding. He spoke with ear

the General, then Colonel Blair, at that time
and since has rendered the country. y-s

DRAMATIC.-The domestic drama of The
Chimney Corner" was performed last evening
by the Portland Dramatic Club, for the bene-
fit of the Fair for the widows and orphans of
deceased soldiers. There was quite large
and fashionable audience, and the play went
off handsomely, the characters being well sus-
tanned by Messrs. Bryant, Chase, Carter, Fur
bish and Geyer, and Misses Peters and Speed.
The principal characters were by Mr.. Chase
and the two ladies, and it is needless to say
that these were full up to the mark, elciting
repeated applause from the audience.
Prior to the performance of the drama, a
beautiful tableau, from King Lear, was pre-
sented, and Miss Dana read, with exceeding
good taste, the first act of that play. r,
Tonight will be the last performance of the
Club, when the comedies of " The Little

THE BoMBARDMENT OF VA1pARA1so

The BoMBARDBfENT OF VALPARAISO
Commodore Rodgers's dispatch to the Secre-
tary of the Navy adds little to the intelligence
unofficially received before. The English Ad-
miral proposed to interfere, but afterwards
threw the responsibility upon the English
Minister, who declined to act. Commodore
Rodgers, who had acceded to the proposition,
then declined to act as catspaw for England
and the protest of General Fitzpatrick was per-
mitted to stand, without any more decisive
proceedings, as marking the disapproval which
the whole civilized world will feel for the at
tack. 1 e
With respect to the conduct of the repre-
sentatives of the United States, it is enough
that the British residents of Valparaiso ex-
press their gratitude for the efforts of General
Fitzpatrick and Commodore Rodgers, while
censuring Admiral Denman without stint.
The damage done by the bombardment was
probably exaggerated by the Panama paper
from which we had the previous account
Eight millions is said to be nearer the truth
and of this nearly the whole belonged to neu.
trails. twill probably turn out that Spain has
not taken much by this motion.
