1t now appears that the recent CHILEAN VIC
tory at MIratiores WAS not due to the proves
Of the enemy so much as to the treason in the
Peruvian ranks. At the termination OF the
battle near Miratiores, five or six miles from
Lima, the Peruyians held the advantage, and
might, by one more determined and prompt
effort, have made themselves master of the sit
uation. Al critical moment, however. while
President PleTola WAS asleep, the traitorous
chiefs disbanded their forces, and, assuring
them that the Chiian hordes would soon be
svarming through Lima and Callao, robbing,
pnlaglng and devastating. advised them to an
ticipate the Chilians and ''help themselves to
whatever they wanted" A scene of devasta-
ton such as has been seldom equaled, ensued.

On Wednesday afternoon as ex-oficer Jo-
seph Carter ~as completing his preparation.
to leave Maine for 4 prospecting tour to
Texas, in company with W. f. Wall, sheriff
Stevens knocked at the door of his resiienee
with writ in trespass for his arrest Mr.
Carter was naturally greatly surprised. and
demanded to know for what offence he was
apprehended. The Sheriff informed him
that he was simply acting in discharge
of his official duty that john Potter had
sued out the necessary papers for his arrest,
alleging that he Potter had been injured in
person and self-respect by Carter forciblv
ejecting him from the State House during
the troublous times in the winter of 1880.
The declaration of the wri: is as follows:
''The said Joseph Carter. on the 18th day of Jan.
nary. ls At Augusta afore laid, with force and arm
in and upon the plaintiff, made assault upon him
and there beat. bruised wounded and treated him.
And the said Joseph Carter then and there AT said
Augusta, IN the State House, with great force and
violence, seized the plaintiff BY the throat and srm
and then and there greviouslv choked said plaintiff
and then and there jerked and josfled. pulled and
pHshed the plaintiff in the presence of and in and
among large body Of the citizens of this State then
and there embed tthe said plaintiff being all the
H
exposed the plaintiff 10 their scorn contempt; resent
ment, ridicule aud derisior aud then and there
dragged the plaintiff through the body of citizens
sembied aforesaid he. the said Carter all the time
using TO the said plaintiff the most Insulting and
threatening language TO the door of said
and with force and violence ed said plain m
from said State House. and did then and there other
wrongs and injuries said plaintiff by reason where
OF the plaintiff was greatly lsmed and injured. ar
against the Of the State and to the damage of
said plaintiff (as he says) TO the sum Of sloOo.''
1t appears by Mr.. Carter's statement that
he was on guard at the State House during
the most exciting period, with orders to ad-
nit no one to the building without a pass
from Gen. Chamberlain or Mayor Nasll.
One cold day Potter appeared on the granite
steps and begged to be let in out of the
stinging air, saying that he wished to speak
moment with a man inside. Carter told
him that he could come into the rotunda and
get warm, if he would remain near the door
Potter did not do this, and Mr. Carter took
him by the arm and requested him to leave,
which he did Potter now asserts that he
sustained physical injuries at the time, as
well as severe shock to his self-respect,
for his sufferinks. 1t took Mr.. Carter about
two minutes to get bondsmen after he got
over in town. Joseph Baker, Esq, and Les
lie c. Cornish went his bail, and Mr.. Carter
started for Texas on Thursday. He proposes
to return to Maine in the fall and fight the
matter, and then bring a suit against Potter
for malicious prosecution.

Gun Club of Topsham. The tournament
was very interesting. Last year members
of the Cushnoc Club visited Topsham, and
were royalty entertained. They were glad
of an opportunity to reciprocate, and gave
their guests the best supper anddinner that
Augusta could furnish. The Topsham men
returned on the eleven o'clock Pullman ap-
parently in tip-top humor. Twenty shots
were allowed each contestant The balls
were sprung from a rotary trap. Some ex-
cellent shooting was done, and the feathers
flew freely. The following is the score:
