ENCOURAGING FOR SoLDERs.-We learn
from the Portsmouth Chronicle that an order
has just been received at the Navy Yard, from
the Secretary of the Navy, resembling the order
heretofore in force directing that soldiers shall
have the prior claim for employment on all
public works. This is one of the first fruits of
Sinclair's visit to Washington. The Presi-
dent promised to help make him Governor
OF New Hampshire and this is the way he is
keeping his word. But the Ides of March are
coming and will show whether the Democrat
&c bad faith toward soldiers will help that par
ty,with the people. The Republican canvass
n New Hampshire is proverbially accurate.
BY next Saturday the returns are to be all in,
and then the result may be quite confidently
predicted. 1t is said that the returns thus far
received are satisfactory

BESIDES having beautiful weather for the
most OF the time this winter, we have been
highly favored in not having drifting SHOWS
One year ago at this time, the roads in the
country were almost impossible, and from the
time OF the great snow storm until the ground
settled in the Spring, there was scarcely any
good travelling This year, since the snow
came, we have had splendid sleighing all the
time. And it has been improved to the letter;
for never have our streets presented such a
continued lively appearance. There is an
aged lady living in the city, who can remem-
Der when there were but six or eight horses kept
for riding purposes. Something of change
there are six hundred or more now.

FATE seems to have decided that there
should be no emancipation celebration in
Portland this year. Yesterday, to the great
disappointment of everybody interested in the
matter, a dispatch was received from Mr..
Walker, stating that the storm would prevent
his coming to Portland to fulfill his engage

had been prepared for the occasion will be dis

faith in proposed payment for three Ameri-

The condition of the proposed treaty is that
the President is to prevent the rival Feeee

sovereign during the continuance of this
treaty, by which the king mortgages the island
to the United States for payment of the install

| THE YIcE-PREsIDENCY.-A New York cor
respondent of Connecticut paper writes as

1OII0WS:
1t does not seem to those well informed how
ever, that Gov. Fenton will receive the nomi-
NATION for the vice presidency. There are GER
tainly many other men better fitted and more
deserving of the place, while New England is
Justly entitled to the nomination. So far as
am able to discover, those who have no axes to
grind would rejoice in seeing Hamlin who was
dropped for the recreant johnson, again ele-
waited to the vice presidency. The graceful
manner in which he yielded and his after
course were certainly most commendable As
for Senator Morgan he is a very much over
rated man, whose quiet dignity has been mis-
taken for genius or craftsmanship. VIM. e,
Dodge or S. B. Chittendon are more oonyers-
ant with political science and can write or
make much ADLER address than our worthy

FERNANDO WOODS UNsPoKEN SPEECH
The conclusion of the speech of Fernando
Wood, which he was not permitted to deliver
in the House has been published in his Sun
day News. In reference to that portion of his
speech for which he was reprimanded by order
of the House, he says: "This language may
not be parliamentary, but the great necessities
of the country are higher than the rules of the
House. / admit, that while it may appear Sc
we're, it is no more 50 than the occasion re-
quires. We are in the midst of a revolution,
bloodless as yet. How long it may remain
bloodless God in His infinite wisdom only
knows When such acts and propositions are
thus precipitately thrust upon us by the party
IN power, and Congress resolves itself into a
mob of reckless usurpers, it is time that those
who represent the people, aud who adhere to
the sheet anchor of the Constitution, should
sound the alarm and draw public attention to
the danger which is upon it, 1 have de-
clared that-"rhs is one of the most infamous
acts of this infamous Congressional / have
nothing to take back. Whatever evils may
follow me, personally, is of little consequence,
if to the least extern the words / have uttered
here serve to reach the popular heart and at
tract popular attention. My language though
severe, is fully justified by the facts"

HONOR TO WHOM HONOR Is DUE.-The ex-
hibition of Statuary at the late festival of the
Chestnut Street M. e. Church was the sub
Ject of universal admiration and compliment
tary remark among those who visited the City
Hall on that occasion. 1t was admitted by all
to be unsurpassed by any entertainment of
the kind they had ever witnessed. Rare taste
and skill were displayed both in the selection of
pieces and in the preparation and grouping f
subjects. And while great credit is due to all
who directly participated in the preparation of
so beautiful and chaste an artistic exhibition.
it is fitting that public and special mention
should be made of the services Of Mrs. Geo.
E. Taylor, to whose unwearied assiduity per-
sonal enthusiasm, and critical taste, the sue
cess of the undertaking is prominently due.
1t is only to be regretted that the storm on the
second evening prevented the attendance of
many who desired to be present. x.

The Funeral of the Lau,ented Rev Mr.
IueAerunup.

IucAermap.
When good man dies the people sincerely
mourn. And the truth of the above saving
was manifested yesterday afternoon in the
First Parish Church by large congregation
who came together to honor the memory of
Rev. Mr.. Tuckerman, who for the last twelve
years went about our city doing good and
ministering to the wants of suffering human
ity. The services on this occasion were truly
solemn, and all present felt that the poor of
Portland had lost their best earthly friend and
the Christian community a pure minded fol-
lower of our Savior
While the organ was sending out its sub
dued and mournful tones, the corpse was
brought in by the pail bearers and placed
in front of the pulpit, when the choir
sung an appropriate anthem in excellent style.
Rev. Mr.. Bailey read selected portions Of
Scripture in a tone and manner that showed
how deeply he felt the solemnities of the oc-
casion. After the reading, Rev. Mr. Dalton of
st. Stephens Church made some remarks
touching the life and character of the deceased,
which We're listened to with undivided atten-
ton. This gentleman's remarks were exceed
ingly appropriate and interesting, and the
speaker found ready response in every heart
he was followed by Rev. Mr.. Hewes, who
teelingly spoke of the good work the deceased
had performed in the Chapel during the past
few years, and who had been employed by the
First and Second Unitarian Societies not as a
sectarlan but as practical Christian
Rev. Mr.. Bolles then addressed the congre-
cation, and spoke Of the lamented Tuckerman
as member of the committee for the relief
of our citizens after the great fire. He said
the deceased was constant at his post of duty,
and no one of the committee did more than
he did, feeble as his health was, being first on
the ground and the last to leave.
Mr.. Bolles was followed by Rev. Mr. Moul-
ton of Salisbury, Mass, we believe, who made
some remarks that touched all hearts. He
said he had been intimately acquainted with
the deceased for a quarter Of a century, and
always found him one Of the purest minded
and most practical Christians he ever knew.
MIR. Moulton was listened to with profound at
tention, and his remarks made a deep impress
sion upon the audience.
Two hymns were sung by the choir in sub
dued but musical voices, which fell upon the
ear in sweetest harmony. The services
throughout were deeply interesting, and our
citizens have shown by this demonstration
that they are not slow to appreciate virtue and
goodness wherever found. After the benedic-
ton, those present were invited to view the
corpse, and hundreds awaited themselves of
this opportunity to look for the last time on
the face of him whose gentle voice and mild
manner had brought joy and gladness to many
remains were deposited in the receiving tomb
OF the Eastern Cemetery, and will be taken to
New Market, N. H. for interment
