cowardIy thing to swear in company, when
he dared not do it by himself. The man
said he was not afraid to swear at any
time or place. ..a sl5 tfa z2I

The following we give as compendious
statement of the achievements of Chamberlain
and Pillsbury during the war; the first as
Union soldier, the latter as editor of "a Rebel
paper
In the winter of 1862 Chamberlain took part
in the battle Of Fredericksburg and was
wounded in the face, afterwards participating
in the battle of Charlottesville.
The same winter Pillsbury in the Farming
ton Patriot was declaring that Lincoln was a
man of only "third or fourth rate capacity"
calling the CONSUMPTION act San unconstitu
tional law of Abraham the First" and finally
on the 18th of March declaring that our gov
ernmeut was ga mass of ruins and HAD vIR-
TUALLY CEASED TO EXIST.
In July, 1868, Chamberlain took promi-
promoted to the rank of Brigadier General
The same month Pillsbury was fomenting
the discomfort in Franklin County that led to
the Kingfeld anti-draft riot,prating in the Pa
triot of the WAR FARCE and calling upon the
people to TURN OUT lazy tacompetents
In the fall of 1868 Chamberlain was serving
his country in the field. -
Pillsbury through the Patriot was advising
the people not to answer the call for 300,O00
men, saying: "LET THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN
THE POLICY answer this call"
Chamberlain fought till the last day of the
war, was wounded with almost fatal severity
at Petersburg and for his gallantry was pro-
NOTED on the field upon his recovery he led an
assault on the Weldon road, was twice wound
ed in the final movement that ended the war,
was with Sheridan at Five Forks and was Sin
at the death" at Appomattox, being finally
assigned the honor of receiving the surrender
of Lee.
OF Pillsbury we lose sight during part of
this time but we have left of his history at
this period these two declarations that now
seem blasphemous:
Alas that Lincoln mad not been consigned to
infamy and forgetfulness before he succeeded
in drenching the land in blood and converting
this free government into a military despot
ism.
Some one writing from Washington soon
after Lincoln arrived there pronounced him a
cross between an Andulasian jack and sand
hill crane. We thought at the time that it
was harsh judgment, but there was more
truth than poetry in the desc ription.

Grand Republican Flag Raising i'm
IOpshan1.

ToPsHAM, Aug. 18th, 1868.
Mr.. EDITOR: = A large and enthusiastic
meeting was held in this town last evening for
the purpose of raising campaign flag in no.
nor of the great standard bearers of the Re
publican party. A very large delegation hav-
ing arrived from Brunswick, escorted by the
Brunswick Band, which discoursed most beau
tiful and appropriate music, the meeting was
organized on Main street, by the Hon. Joseph
Barron calling to the chair Sanford A. Per-
kins, Esq, with the following gentlemen as
Vice Presidents: Rufus Patten, William
Thitten, James Maxwell, George Barron,
William bennett, and Isaac p. Tebbets, Esq;
Nathaniel w. Quint was chosen Secretary. AT
ter a few appropriate remarks from the presi-
ding officer, he introduced to the vast audience
the Hon. Charles j. Gilman, of Brunswick,
who entertained the assemblage for about an
hour in a most eloquent speech in favor of
sound Republican principles, and in support
of the Presidential nominees of the party
The best of feeling prevailed, and amidst the
booming of cannon, of which Young Ameri-
ca had charge, and the loud cheers of the peo-
pie, the beautiful flag was flung to the breeze
with the honored names of Grant and Coltax
inscribed thereon. On the whole, the meeting
was great success in every way, and every
body was delighted-except a little crowd of
the Copperhead persuasion-who gave vent to
their feelings in curses not LOUD but Deep"
Cheers were given the band, speaker, and for
the glorious old flag, the ladies' many of whom
were present-fuly joining in the enthusiasm.
IT was demonstration very indicative to my
mind, of what may be the result at the polls
here in September and November.
Last year this town went Democratic by
three majority, and this year 1 make the pre-
diction we shall roll up round hundred ma
jority for the Republican candidates.
Before closing this communication, allow me
to say that much credit is due to the young
men and especially to the young Messrs.
WILL and Fred. Whitney's, and James Scrib-
ner, for obtaining the flag and carrying out the
details of the meeting. ToPsHAM

A SEPTEMBER SEssIoN.-A Washington
dispatch says that no definite reasons have
been furnished to the Congressional committee
by those new Southern members of Congress
who write that they desire a session in Sep
TENDER. The movement thus far appears to
be in the hands of those who favored starting
new impeachment just at the close of the
session. A part of the pressure comes from
the Mississippians, who want Congress to
meet and legislate regarding that State. 1t is
known that the War Department is working
most earnestly to insure peace in ali parts of
the South, and as yet no reason for a Septem-
Der session can be discovered by such Republi-
hcans as are on the ground in Washington.
