To the Business Men of Maine.
OF BRUNSWICK.

We invite the especial attention of the bust
ness men Of Maine to the card published in
another column, and addressed to them by a
large number of our leading business firms.
Portland has labored hard to build up her
trade with the towns and cities of Maine
That labor has been undertaken in their in
ferest as well as her own. She has sought to
attract customers in the only legitimate way,
by Offering them better bargains than they
could elsewhere obtain. Favored by her To-
cation at the point where the products of the
teeming West and of the West India Islands
converge for distribution throughout the State
and the lower British Provinces, she has as
sumed the Office which naturally fell to her;
she has aimed to distribute these products, and
Others which accompanied them, at cheaper
rates than could be afforded by other cities.
Her success has been attested by large and
growing trade, prosperity in which the whole
State shared. 51 As fJes 1
Her means in many directions have not
been crippled by the late disaster Not sin
gle jobbing house in the grocery line was dis
turbed. Not chandlery store was burned.
The -four and grain dealers have lost nothing.
In a word, Commercial street, with the excep-
ton of its manufacturing establishments, is
intact. The wharves with all their varied
contents are unframed. Our shippers can
offer as good freights this week as last. To
the business men of Maine, and of the West,
we can offer in many respects the same adj
vantages which we offered before. We cannot
afford to lose at this time the custom which a
week ago we could command. To all their
Old customers our merchants appeal to send
in their orders as usual, and tender the assur-
ance that they will be filed as promptly and
as literally as ever. II the newspapers OF
Maine would do us service, we ask of them
to copy the card to which we have referred,
and to give publicity to the facts which we
have briefly and imperfectly presented.

The War i'm Europe.

The foreign news by Sundays steamer is
intensely interesting. Prussia, like Austria,
has two armies. The army under Prince
Charles has crossed the Bohemian frontier,
encountering no important resistance from
General Benedek. The army in Hanover has
apparently gained great advantage over the
Hanoverian contingent of the army of tie
Confederation. The rendezvous of the troops
OF the Confederation is at Frankfort on the
Mayne, and the Prussians in Hanover cover
the recent acquisitions of Prussia, Schleswig
and Holstein.
Contrary to general expectation, the first
battle has been fought in Italy, near Verona,
and the Italians have been driven back beyond
the Mincio. The battle vas fought on Sun
day, oath ult. The Austrians advanced, but
met check, how important docs not appear,
on Monday. In the italian declaration of war
addressed by General Cialdini, chief of the
general staff, to the Austrian Archduke Char
les, commanding in Yenetia, occurs the toll
lowing passage: 5.ss...
The empire of Austria has been for CEN
turtles past the principal cause of the division,
the subsection, and the incalculable moral and
material wrongs of Italy. Now that the ma
ton is constituted, Austria withholds recogni-
ton and continues to Cypress one of our no.
blest provinces, Transforming it into vast in
trenched camp in order to menace our exis-
tence. The cOunsels and the efforts of the
friendly powers with Austria were useless,
and it was inevitable that Austria and Italy
should again find themselves face to face in
the first European complication. area
There is, briefly, the cause of the war, and
the sufficient ground for American sy sympathy
with Italy. Napoleon has already declared
that he will not suffer Austria to push her
advantage to the extent of depriving the TIA
liam government of any territory coded by the
treaty of Villa Franco. Yet the Austrian
army is already pushing into Lombardy, and
If the Emperor of the French should interfere

into the wavering scale. d}eH5

Letter from the National Capital.
WASHINGTON, July A.
To the Editor of the Press:
Our National birth day comes once more,
and every loyal heart gives it patriotic well
come. 1t can hardly fail to awaken stirring
thoughts of that old heroic struggle of our
ancestors in behalf of human freedom, or
many glowing recollections and touching rem
iniscences of the terrible conflict from which
we have just emerged. This day is a fitting
one for the cultivation of lofty national
spirit, a true and fervent patriotism, and for
self devotion and conservation to those sacred
principles for which our fathers fought and
bled, for which our brothers so freely suffer-
ed and sacrificed their earthly all. IT some
thing, if much, ct remains to be dared and
done before the cause baptized in so much
blood and consecrated by so much heroism
can reach its ultimate and complete triumph,
no true man assuredly will shrink back or
falter. Cheerfully and courageously will he
assume the duties and responsibilities OF his
day and hour, seeing to it always that those
who bequeathed them to his care persisted
not in vain. Nor, while we sorrowfully watch
the terrible storm that has just rolled away
from us, enveloping another continent in its
ghastly shadow, while with plying interest we
behold

Shudder to the rending fash,

stern work it has performed for ours shatter-
ing bolts and shackles and dungeon keeps that
would have remained strong through many

The day passes very quietly here at the
metropolis. The most noticeable event is
the celebration of the colored Sunday Schools
The children of these schools, together with
their teachers and friends, amounting in all to
several thousands, marched this morning to

brated the day with much spirit and zest.-

those to be our rulers who had attempted

1 repeat, it is blasphemy to say that the
policy of Mr.. johnson is a continuation of
the policy, of Abraham Lincoln. Andrew
johnson stands before you to-day sur
rounded and supported by the principals
and accessories of the rebellion. He stands

and if, in the utmost recesses of his heart,
he can be brought to realize the enormity
of his breach of faith, and the great ime
of putting in jeopardy the results of the

he will, like Clarence in prison, be haunt

abuse and personalities, do es not in
the slightest particular disprove a
single allegation made by US. 1t &C.

rector, and that his name was used for
the influence it would give it; that he
knew of the bad management of the
Company and the dishonesty of agents
when he assisted in making the levy,
which has caused SO much complaint;
that he was partner of Mr.. DEWoLF,
and that the suits were brought in
the name of the firm. 1t was useless
to attempt to deny them, because we
had proved them by the official re-
cords. So it seeks to cover up Mr..
NIBLAcK S connection with the Sin
nissippi by vulgarity and abuse.
That will not remove the impression
that has settled down so strongly, in
the minds of thousands of voters in
this District, that NIBLAcK is in some
degree responsible for the acts of the

The members of the Central Committee
are earnestly requested to meet at the
Courier Office this evening after the meet
ing at Central Market Courier, Sept. 18th.
Our reporter was not present last
night at the meeting above, as we do
not like to publish the misfortunes of
men in our own line of business. We
hope, however, the Central Commit
tee were on hand, and adopted eff
cient measures to relieve their organ
from its troubles. We insist that the
Courier must be kept up until after
the election, as it is doing our cause
much good; and if the Committee
find its party friends reluctant to fur
nish all the funds needed to help it
over the present tight place, we think
we can promise the requisite aid from
the Union men. The Courier must be
kept on its feet till after the election
by all means, Otherwise our MAORI
ty may fail Below six hundred.
