Lewiston, June 25th, 1802.
Editor* of the Portland Press:—Your
neatly printed journal has made Its appearance
in our village, and hundreds are seen eagerly
perusing its columns, to find out what it says
in relation to the important questions which
now agitate our great Republic. From ail I
can learn on the subject, the masses of the
nonnlp in this vlHnltir hitrhlv Pfimmoml trnn r
politic*! doctrines, and wish you great success
in your new enterprise. Our paper here is a
beautifully printed sheet, and its mechauicul
execution does much credit to the publishers;
but the headings in the news department are
sometimes more startling than the dispatches
will justly warrant. A groat man once said in
answer to a political opponent, who had boast
ed of what he intended to do, “It is not the
first time in the history of the world that the
war did not come up to the high sounding
manifestoes.” But let me not be misunder
stood. It is only a single fault to which I have
alluded, nnd if no more can be found, our Jour
nal is quite as fortunate as most newspapers
In our land. Let the publisher* be assured
that the hint is a friendly one and given in the
utmost kindness. We feel proud of our Jour
nal, and thank the proprietors for their spirit
and enterprise.
One would hardly imagine, wliiie walking
through our streets and witnessing the evi
dences of thrift and prosperity in many
branches of trade and industry, that the coun
try was engaged in a war of such magnitude,
as to arrest the attention and fix the eyes of the
whole civilized world upon us. The truth is,
we do not yet realize the greatness of the con
test in which we are engaged, to sustain the
life of our nation; especially we do not who
live so far away from the battle fields. Hut
the rebels begin to realize it, and to feel that
the end is drawing near. But my object is
not to discuss such matters.
The political sea is quite calm in this region,
although the people begin to cast about for
candidates to represent their interests in Con
gress. So far as I can learn, public opinion
here seems to be concentrating on J udge E.
T. Little, of Auburn, to fill the vacancy occa
sioned be the resignation of Judge Walton.—
Mr. Little Is a whole hearted Republican, and
would fUl the vacancy to the entire satisfaction
of the people in his district He is well post
up on the questions of the day, and his talents
admirably qualify him to occupy such a posi
tion.
Religious matters here have recently assum
ed an interesting aspect, and hundreds are
anxiously inquiring “what they shall do to be
saved.” Many have made up their minds and
resolved upon a new course of life. A few
sabbaths ago more than one hundred were
immersed in a single day in the waters
of the Androscoggin—a greater number than
was ever baptised in one day, in our State, if
not in New England. The churches have
been much united In the revival, and the work
is still progressing. Many converts will join
other churches whose members do not believe
that immersion is the only door that opens in
to the evangelican church. Surely a great
change has come over the spirit of hundreds,
and no doubt much good has already been
done.
I often see Gen. Howard and his younger
brother at the Maine Hotel, Auburn, who
fought so bravely at the battle of Fair Oaks.
The General’s arm Is fast healing up and his
health is quite good. He owns his country
has given him a military education, and he
feels it to lie his imperative duty to light its
battles, and if need be, to lay down his life
upon its altar. He expects to be strong
enough, ere long, to enter the battle field
again and to lend his aid in crushing out this
wicked rebellion. The wound his brother re
ceived was on ugly one, and heals slowly. It
was occasioned by a Minic ball through his
thigh, boring a hole clear through nearly as
large as an iuch augur makes, and probably
grazing the bone, lie is patient and pleasant
in his affliction. I asked An iiow near he was
to the rebels whoa he received his wound.
“ They were all rouud me,” was his reply.
Before this, he says they had driven the reb
els through the swamp' and upon higher
ground, where he and the General received
titer wounds. It was a terrible Imtile, more
terrible titan we dreamed of in our philosophy.
To hear young Howard’s story of the bloody
fight makes the blood run cold and gives one
some idea of the awful struggle. The rebels
fought desperately and stood the fire of our
artillery, readily filling up the ranks as fust as
our grape and Canister mowed them down, and
showing a Isild front worthy of a better cause.
They can stand fire well, much bettor than
they received the bayonet charge- The gleam
of Federal steel strikes terror Into their hearts,
and their legs are nerved by fear and hurry
their bodies away from danger. Such are
some of the cliaractcrislics of the rebel sol
diery.
The people congratulate you on such a good
beginning in journalism, and hope your efforts
will be crowned with success. And they sec
no reason why such a paper as yours is and
promises to be, should not prosper and live to
a good old age, and become one of Lite insti
tutions of the Pine Tree State. *„*
Letter from Farmington.
To the Editors of the Portland Daily Press:
—Here comes the Daily Pkess, which has
been so anxiously waited for during the three
or four weeks since the announcement of the
intention to publish the same, with its clear
l.vpe, goodly sire, clean and bright appearance;
but, better yet, its healthy and vigorous tone
—a voice for our contry in out-spoken words
upon its every page. Welcome!
That word for “The Maine Regiments in the
Field”ought to give hundreds ofsubscriliers. It
is timely, and why some such word has not
long ere this been sounded fourth in clarion
notes, and claimed the just and dear bought
meed to our ever brave soldiers, by the whole
Maine press, is l>eyond my kon. I have been
pained while tracing out their positions in
many of the sangniuai-y contests where our
Maine troops have been planted, either as a
front or rear wall, and so nobly, so bravely
acted their part, to see that only the large
hearted officers, all nearly, except the bills of
mortality, were still as death in their praise.
It is true there has been, here and there, a
complimentary word for the Maine Boys; and
how could it be otherwise ?
The sturdy sons of Maine—the formers are
not to be, and even are not now forgotten, but
a kind cheering word is to be found for them.
1 cannot see why there should not be words
for them in a Daily as well as others when you
can send it a hundred miles away to them on
the same day, so that they can break the mo
notomy of labor’s dull care, in evening twi
light, and while away a pleasant hour on its
receipt. So, too, the wiudows of light and
sunshine are not to be left out, but they, and
the young Maineites must liave astory,asoug,
a Mrs. Grundy’s sayings, with all the inten
tions of marriage in the land.
Wishing you abundant success, I remain
J your8- O. W. Truk.
A Woman of Good Tastk.—You sec this
lady turning a fold eye to the assurances of
shopmen and the recommendations of millin
ers. She cares not how original a pattern may
be. if it be ugly, or how recent a shape, if it be
awkard. Whatever laws of fashion dictates,
she follows a law of her own, and is never lie
hind it. She wears very beautiful things which
neople generally suppose to lie brought from
Paris, or. at least, made by a French milliner,
but which is often bought at the nearest town
and made up by her own maid. Not that her
costume is either rich or new; on the contra
ry, she wears many a rich dress, but it Is al
ways pretty, and many an old one, but is al
ways good. She deals in no gaudy confusion
of colors, nor does she affect a steady sobriety;
but to see cither refreshes you with a beauti
ful contrast, or composes you with a judicious
harmony.
Not a scrap of tinsel or trumpery appears
upon her. She puts no faith In velvet bauds,
or gilt buttons, or twisted cording. Slie is
quite aware, however, Unit the garnish is as
important as the dress; oil her inner borders
are delicate and Irtish; and should anything
peep out w hich is not intended to lx; seen, it is
quite as much so as that which is. After all.
there is no great art, either in her fashions or
her materials. The secret simply consists in
her knowing the three grand unities of dress—
her own station, her own age, and her own
points. And no woman can’ dress well who
does not After this, we need not say that who
ever is attracted by the costume will not lie
disappointed in tin- wearer. Site may not lie
handsome, nor accomplished; liut we will nu
swer for her being gooil-tcmpcred, well in
formed, thoroughly sensible, and a complete
lady.
— A returned prisoner, who was a member
of the Third Regiment, and who was taken at
Bull Bun, witJi whom we conversed a day or
two since, confirms the statements of the bru
tal treatment the prisoners received nt the
hamls of the rebels. lie came very near being
shot himself, while in the Tobacco factory ut
Richmond. He thinks if he goes back, he will
never take a prisoner.
—Fight hard against a hasty temper. An
ger will come, but resist it stoutly. A spark
may set a house on Are. A At of passiou may
give you cause to mourn all the days of your
life. Never revenge an injury.
lie that revengeth knows no rest;
The meek possess a peaceful breast.

PROSPECTUS
. OF TIIE
PORTLAND DAILY PRESS:
EDITED BY
JOHN T. GILMAN, recently of the Batii Times,
and
JOSEPH B. HALL, of the Aroostook Herald.
The Portland Daily Press is intended to be
an enterprising, vigorous and live Daily Morning
Paper, containing the latest and fullest news by mail
and telegraph.
THE MAINE STATE PRESS
Is a large, well-filled, carefully edited, and neatly
printed weekly paper, intended specially for general
circulation throughout the State.
Both of the above named papers will labor to
inculcate, in no dictatorial spirit, sound political prin
ciples and to promote the material interests of the
State, and of the City of Portland as its interests
twine with, and are inseparable from, those of the
8tate.
Politically, the Press will give an earnest, cordial,
and generous support to the administration of Abra
ham Lincoln, who in little more than one year, has
indellibly impressed himself upon the nation’s heart
as an incorruptible 'patriot, an inflexible Chief Mag
istrate, and an honest man; the ability of whose ad
ministration is most signally exhibited, not [only In
the matchless operations of our army and navy, but
in tbo unparalleled fact that, in the midst of this
gigantic rebellion,'our Government securities are
selling at a premium. It will zealously labor to ex
hibit aud defend sound Republican principles, and,
inasmuch as political organizations have become a
necessity in carrying into effect great principles of
political economy, and inasmuch as ;thc Republican
party which, in the brief chapter of its history already
written, has successfully refuted the allegation of its
eucmies that its designs and tendencies were sec
tional, and triumphantly [vindicated Its claim to a
Just and liberal Nationality, has remained steadfast
In its devotion to the Union while other organizations
have so generally become infected with a disloyal
spirit, and inasmuch as it is the only party which at
preaeut seems competent to conserve the great prin
ciples underlying all free Governments, the Presa
will cordially sastain the organization of that party
not with a design to foster a mere pari Iran spirit, but
in the full coniciousness that it embodies the true
principles npon4whieh our government rests, aud af
fords tho only available means of accomplishing such
results as a lofty patriotism imperatively demands.
It will neither seek nor endorse any compromises
.a
but will inculcate loyalty to the great central idea of
all true democracy—that the majority must govern.
Upon the exciting question of Domestic Slavery, it
may be proper to say, that while the Press will sanc
tion no interference with the constitutional or legal
rights of loyal men, it will neither >i>ologize for an
evil which constitutes tho foulest blot upon our
national character, nor attempt to resist the tide of
events that seems destined to sweep from existence
an institution which is the greatest anomaly in a free
government. The emancipation of slavery in the
federal Capital, tho oo-operatiou of the Federal with
the loyal State governments, to secure gradual eman
cipation, as proposed by President Lincoln, and all
other constitutional measures looking to a peaceful
removal of our greatest “moral, political and social
evil," will fiud in the Phene a generous and hearty
support.
While thus distinctly announcing the general course
proposed for the Prices, and intending that, alike in
war and in peace—in oar country’s peril and in its
triumph, it shall speak with no uncertain voice, we
do not lose sight of the ffcct that true men have hon
estly differed, and that, coming by different routes
they now find themselves travelling parallel roads;
anti, instead of seeking to widen the differences be
tween those who are required by a common patriot
ism to act in concert, the Prkfn will labor hopefully
to encourage unity of purpose and harmony of act
ion ainoug all loyal men.
Aside from its political department, tho Frees will
be earnestly devoted to the advancement of the best
interests of tho city and State. Its Local Depart
ment will in no case be neglected. Particular atten
tion will be given to the Commercial and Maritime
interests. It will be the aim of its conductors to make
it an indispensable institution of the State, and a ge
nial and welcome visitor in every work-shop, count
ing-house, and family circle. The Editors, not un
known to the people of Maine, will give their undivi
ded energies t» the work before thorn, and labor to
make such a paper as the city of Portland, the State
of Maine, and the exigencies of the times demand—
one tliat shall be true to the popular instincts.
Tub Portland Daily Pesss is printed with en
tirely new type, on a sheet as largo as that of any
daily in Maine, and issued every morning, (Sun
days excepted,) at £5 per annum. Subscriptions for
less than six months, GO cents per mouth.

THE CHRISTIAN MIRROR.
VOLVMF XU.
TIIE FORTY-F1HST VOLUME OF T1H8 PAPER
Will Commence July 29.
All persons who now subscribe to the Mirror by
paying 82 shall have a receipt to the dose of Volume
XLI—ending July 29, 1868—being almost a year and
one quarter.
We arc happy to announce Eev. Messrs. Pond,
Shepard, Harris and Smith. Professors in Bangor
Theological Seminary, as stated contributors to tbo
columns of this paper.
This paper is devoted to the division of moral, re
ligious. educational, and such other intelligence as
pertains to the welfare of society.
Its foreign and domestic news is made up to tho
hour (Monday noon) of going to press, and is suffi
ciently general to meet the wants of those who tako
no other paper.
The fourth page is appropriated to the most inter
esting Literary, Scientific, aud Commercial miscella
ny that can tie gathered.
It lias a department expressly for children. It is
intended to be a safe family newspaper; with nothing
to offend the most fastidious—neither cherishing a
morbid appetite, nor catering to a perverted taste.
We do not claim for it that it is the otdfgt, the tar
ge*t, the m imt, even the beet paper in the world: or
that the Church and State would fall without it.
We claim for the Mirror that it is a Christian paper.
It aims to be a true reflector of Bible principle and
practice; aud in the correction of moral evils and the
renovation of Society, to hold forth the true remedv.
It can be said of our paper that while its correspond
ence is not meagre, its epitome of news and compact
items of iutcrest is inferior to that of no other paper,
and its abstract of valuable article's in American and
Foreign quarterlies lias supplied a place not tilled by
an v other religious print.
If any want a |»i»er that can safely be a companion
on the Sabbath, that gives an unprejudiced view of
public atfkirs. that aids to be a transcript of the age
w ithout identifying itself with its errors, that chroni
cles to minuteness religious aud revival news, that
holds firmly the doctrines and practice of a proto*
tant Christianity and can be safely put into the hands
of the young, we ask them to take the CHRiSTiaar
Mirror.
This being pre-eminently a Family Journal is one of
the best channels for advertisements relating to Books,
S-Jes, Legal Notices, aud all articles of general con
sumption .
Weekly papers generally, and especially religious
ones, are less likely to be destroyed than those more
secular—they are read more in families than Dailies—
they are taken home and preserved, to be examined
at leisure—their contents are more thoroughly wan
ned—aud they are often sent to absent friends to con
vey to those abroad, some idea of the state of aflkirs

TESTIMONIALS.
We snbjoln some extracts from letters recently pub
lished in our columns.
From Professors in Bowdoin College.
Other papers, published out of the limits of the
State, are useful; but they cannot be ex|»ected to take
the place aud to fulfill all the objects of a paix-r pub
lished among ourselves. The Mirror i* well known
to our religious people, and lias been conducted by
Mr. Lord, its present editor, with earnest Christian
fidelity, with a high degree of abilitv. aud at the same
time in such a manner a* to bring to light and to cher
ish those local religious sympathies and interests, which
cau uc rcaciteu ouiy oy a pajier puDiisneu iu tlM) Male.
From Rev. I>r. ( bickering.
AH necessity for two papers having ceased, we
ought to have one taken in all our churches, a* good
a* you and a hundred contributor* can make it. Tl*o
most patriotic and liberty-loving among us cannot
Complain of its tone in these stirring times; aud I
sometimes almost wish I were compelled to rely upou
your wwklv summary instead of reading so many ex
citing details in the daily papers. You tell us what wo
really need to kuow; aud a great man> things that
we ought to do.
From Rot. I>r. Carruthers.
It contain* a weekly summary of events written In
a lively style—criticisms, literary and moral, of great
practical valiie—and such matters of gene ral and de
nominational Interest a- «orve to keep its readers well
*P***ted up.* If ministers and others, at different
points in our large .state, would he a little more com
municative of h*cal facts, they would greatly increase
its intriusio worth, and proportionally enlarge its cir
culation.
[From Ilcv. Dr. Tappan.]
In common with many others, 1 have earnestly de
sired that we might have in Maine, undor the auspices
of our denomination, but one religious new simper,
aud I cannot hut hope, that the Mirror, which 1 have
taken from the beginning, and on many accounts
hare highly valued, may again secure general support,
and prove In ih future course to lie a paper iu which
we can all unite. In most of the views expressed in
relation to this suhji-ct, by Professor Pond, in the
Miuuok of this week, I frilly concur. Your own of
fer “to send it without charge to any who way be de
sirous of receiving it, till the meeting of the June
(State] t onferei.ee in Portland,’’ i* fair aud liters!.—
You will |>eniiit me however to inquire whether it
might not lie well to send one number at least to every
Congregational minister iu the Mate, who is not now
a subscriber, without w aiting for an application, since,
otherwise many may not kuow that such a proposal
has been made.
From Professors in ltangor Theological Seminary.
From lUv. Dr. Pond.
We obviously need one good religious paper in
Maine; and one (if it can bo made satisfactory,) is
enough. We need it, not only a* a vhehkle of intel
ligence and thought, hut for the publication of no
tice*, and the accomplishment of various local objects
which cau he reached iu no other way.
• • • I have been a subscriber for the Mirror
and a constant reader of it for almost thirty years; —
ami though I have s«**u things in it occasionally
which I did not like, (as I do iu most other impers.)
still all candid readers must acknowledge that the
Mikuoii has been, from the first, the steadiast advo
cate of liospel order and troth, aud an ini(>ortant
auxiliary in the great work of enlightening and evan
gelizing Maine. I will also *av that 1 think the Mm
icon lias never been more ably aud faithfully couduct
• -i than during Uw last few years. 1 he present editor
devotes time, and thought, and labor to it, and suc
ceeds in makiug it (wiiat lie has showu himself
abundantly able to do) au interesting weekly visitant
to onr families and homes.
It should l>e further cousidered, that sonic of the
exciting questions which once threatened to divide
us, are changing their forms and losing their interest.
They may give place to others, for aught we know, or
may themselves come up again; but at present we
svm to have got beyond them. The Miititou is an
nntlinchiiig supporter of the government of the
I'nited Mates in its contest with the slavery rebellion.
It is skga aiucerc friend to the colored rare, and is
readyflHbite in all well considered efforts for their
lihcranmfami advancement—though I am tar from
advisiug any one as to what, oi how many religious
imperii lie shall take, yet I will venture to propose
that we make trial of the Mirkoh. As we ought to
have and must have out- religious pa|x-r in the State,
let us take hold of this together; subscribe for it,
write for it, and endeavor to make it such as our
^Lurches require.
From Professor D. T. Smith.
It would Ik* difficult for me to express too strongly
how desirable on every account, it twems to me to be
that the M iuk"U should be well sustained. Nowhere
is tin* influence of a good religious newspaper more
iiu|H>rtant than it is In Maine. In no State ts it more
important that the Congregational churches should
hit e an organ of'tin ii o*% n Nor 4o 1 mi how any
reasonable man can ask for a better organ thau the
Mirror. Some other papers indeed are enabled to
supply a greater quantify of reading for the same
price; hut other things being equal, a medium sized
paper like a medium sized book, is better thau a larger
one, and I can say in all sincerity, that I know of no
paper, large or small, metropolitan or provincial,
which, with so little intermingling of what is of a
different character contains a larger amount or a
greater variety of readable, reliable ami every way
valuable matter, original and selected, than the Miu
r.ou. Rarely do 1 place a number upon tile without a
distinct feeling of regret in regard to more or lew of
w hat it contains, that 1 cannot have it iu a volumo on
my shelves where it will be constantly at hand.
From Kov. Ura. Shepard and Harris.
Mr. Lord, Hear Sir .-—Permit us to express our de
sire that the Mibkou may receive the confidence and
support of the members of our churches and Congre
gations in Mai uo. It is conducted with paiustakiug
amiability. It is a judicious and earnest supporter
of the doctrines ami polity of our churches, or their
missionary enterprises and their spiritual interests.—
Its religious articles for family reading art; choice. Its
summary of news, though necessarily condensed, is
comprehensive and well-digested. Tlie occasions for
difference respiting the application of Christian
truth to civil and social affairs are passing a wav. aud
( hri-tiau people are rapidly approaching unanimity ;
candor, forbearance and patience, with the grace and
providence of liod, will euablc them to obtain it.—
Under these circumstances we hope that those who
take a religious pa|H*r will make a trial of the Miu
itou; and we expect—we think with good reason—
that they will bo satisfied with it. A Maine paper has
obvious'advantages to Maine people, above one pub
lished abroad, and presents obvious claims to their
support. UEo. SIIKI’AKD,
