AUGUSTA, Jan. 17.-General Chamberlain
has issued the following order in response to
that OF Smith:
HEADQUARTERS FIRST DIST. NJ. NJ,
AUGUSTA, Jan. 10th.
Hon. Joseph L. Smith:
Sir: l have the honor to acknowledge the
receipt of a notice served on me this evening
by Messrs. Black and Blood, representing
themselves as ON your personal staff, which
notice purports to be "General Order No. 2"
of the Adiutant Generals Office, relieving me
from command of the militia of Maine, and
revoking Special Order No. 45, which charged
me with the duty of protecting the public
property and institutions of the State until a
Governor should be duly qualified. When
the matter now in issue involves the very
question whether you are Governor or not, it
must be manifest to you that I should fail in
my duty were l to surrender my trust except
on undoubted evidence of your authority to
demand it. If you are the lawful Governor
you can easily relieve all embarrassments by
alfording me the authoritative decision of the
court to which l am, and always have been,
ready to yield prompt obedience. l can not
but add that consistency and custom of SER
vice, to say nothing of the grave complication
of the present situation, give me the right to
expect you will furnish proper evidence of
your authority. | have the honor to be
Very resp'f'y, your obedient servant,
(Signed) JOSHUA L. CHAMBERLAIN,
Major General.

Repeating Matches.

A patent has been taken out for a repeating
match-that is, a match that may be struck a
great many times, and yield a light each
time. The match consists of two rods of
infammable composition, placed side by side
in two compartments, with a suitable case.
In order to strike the light, a scraper is moved
by hand along a platform across the open
ends of the two rods. The scraper removes
a certain quantity of its substance from each
rod, and mixing these together, the light is
produced. One stick is composed of three
parts chlorate of potash and one part of clay,
thoroughly mixed and formed into a thick
paste by the addition of water, then dried.
The other stick is made of three parts amor
phous phosphorus and one part of clay, pre-
pared in the same manner.
