The Rebel Tatics Practised In Maine.


During the first part Of the late war the
"Rebels" had a playful way of joking with
US ''Yanks". They would advance on our
lines holding aloft the Union Flag, but when
they got within short range they would drop
the emblem of Liberty" and up with the Bars
of Rebellion, thus getting the first fire at US,
before we comprehend the ''little joke" AT
the Battle of Fair Oaks, remember, they
dressed their Skirmishers up in Federal Uni
forms, stolen from Casey's camp. We being
cautious of course about firing upon cur own
men, they in this union disguise were enable
to deceive us, and poured a murderous volley
into our very faces, before we were aware of
the playful "trick". Now it strikes me that
our political enemies have been studying
these Rebel "jokes" and are about to try the
same game on their Republican opponents, by
dressing Horace Greeley in republican uni
form and sending him skirmishing into Maine
to deceive us, get the first votes from US, and
to teach us union soldiers, patriotism, forget
fulness, and reconciliation; but such''philo-
sophical lodges" won't do for us, We have

blood-thirsty mobs. Martial law has been
declared, fearing repetition of the terrible
scenes of &C. All the places of business were
closed at noon. Regular panic prevails and
many respectable people have left the city.
Orangemen in bodies Of 800 and 400 issue
from the headquarters in Sandy Row and
rush through the principal streets firing in
all directions. 1t is apprehended that they
will attempt to demolish several Roman
Catholic institutions, and large reinforce
ments of constabulary have accordingly sur
rounded them TO resist the attack. Several
regiments including attachments from the
Royal barracks in Dublin were drawn up to-
day in High street, Donegal street and in the
vicinity of Linen Hall, ready to charge on
the rioters. The Dragons and mounted con-
stabulary patroled the city last night, but the
shooting was as brisk as ever, and in many
instances innocent victims were killed and
wounded. Bitter outcries are made against
the city authorities, who as during the riots
of 'G6, allowed iends to pelt the troops with
bricks, wreck churches, pilage stores and
perpetrate horrible murders, before they
gave the work of command The mode of
warfare is cowardly in the extreme, and peo-

away with the story Of the suffering of the
