Augusta, August 20, 18>>2. i
AN adjourned session of tlx Executive Council
will be hold at the Council rhamber, in Augus
ta, on Tuesday tin- tweuty-tbird day of September
next. Attest,
JOSEPH B. HAM.,
aug21dtd Secretary of Slate,
Personal, but not Egotistical.
Gilman, not long since, impertinently med
dled with our remarks altont the habit* of our
“great generala,” in regard to drinking intox
icating liquors. From bis remarks. If one be
lieved him honest, it would be inferred that he
nt least, was total abstinence—a real simon
pure teetotaller. No such thing. He went,
without urging, with us to the bar of one of
our Iiest hotels, twice; and drank, without
choking, or even making up faces, pure Cataw
ba brandy once, and once pure Catawba wine
—and asked us to give him a keg of each, for
his own use, and we intend to do so.
The above is the concluding paragraph of
the Advertiser’h leader of yesterday. No one
can mistake its authority. It is from the pen
of the senior editor of that paper—E. Case,
Esc). It forms the tail end of an article in
which the Press is referred to as a “menda
cious print,” “got up to crawl on its belly and
eat dirt,” and in which its editor, for simply
during to defend the city of Portland against
the aspersions of a man in the interest of the
Advertiser, is denounced as a “scoundrel, "’who
had made “an editorial and political failure in
Bath,” before he became connected with the
Press of this city. Of course we shall not at
tempt to controvert these allegations. If we
are a scoundrel, no denial will convert us into
an honest man; if not a scoundrel Mr. Case’s
assertion will not make us so.
All this may pass for what it is worth, as
might the paragraph copied at the head of this
article, but for the fact that, as a stranger, we
thought we had been in the contldeutial com
pany of a gentleman., when it proves that we
were in that of a shameless detainer and black
guard.
Distasteful and offensive as is the work of j
bringing one’s self prominently before the pub- j
lie, and in a matter purely personal, such a !
work ia forced upon us, and we ask the read- I
er's pardon while we proceed to discharge it. I
First and foremost, allow us to say, that the j
senior editor of the Press has made no p re ten- j
siou to being a “total abstinence” man, or a
“Simon pure teetotaller.” He has endeavored
to maintain some show of selfr-espcct, and has
not foisted his professions upon any one. lie has
felt at perfect liberty to consult his own incli
nations and to act on all occasions precisely in
accordance with his own private feeling, when
brought into social relations with his fellow
men. If he should feel disposed to take a glass
of wine with a friend socially, or to use strong
er liquors either for medicinal purposes or for
a beverage, he has nothing to restrain him but
Ills own sense of propriety, and what he be
lieves to be projier and right and honest under
the circumstances; and if he should decide to
refrain in any given case, it would be because
of no existing pledges; if he should not retrain
we hope he would have sufficient manliness
not to slink away in a corner, and above all,
not to come out in a public newspaper and ex
pose the names of those whom he might have
invited to indulge witli him.
We ask the reader, in view of Mr. Case's
tatement, to bear with a word, not qf apvlo
y, but of explanation. Mr. C. often tells in
■onversation, of liis large Interests In Indiana,
if his vineyards, and the amount of Catawba
■vine and brandy that he manufactures. He
las repeatedly talked of these things to ourself.
One day, “at one of our best hotels,” where
we were boarding, he was remarking upon the
cry superior qualities of his brandy, its
reedom from all base adulterations, its purity
.nil fitness for medicinal and other laudable
ises,aml upon being informed that, we were ig
•lorant of the article,anil had never even seen a
pecitnen of It, he politely invited us togowitli
aim to another room where he had a sample,
liat we might see anil test it for yourself. Hav
ing no conscientious scruple or pledge to be
violated in accepting sue A an invitation, we
followed Mr. Case—supposing him to 1st a gen
tleman who knew and appreciated the confi
dence and courtesies that gentlemen are ac
customed to observe—and instead of leading
to liis private room, where we supposed lie
was going, lie led, as though the w ay was fa
miliar, to the bar-room. Mr. Case called for
“that bottle,” anil-from it lie turned a quanti
ty Into a glass—how much we know not, tor
we were there, not as an informer but as a
friend—and wo turned what we deemed prop
er into another glass. That Mr. C. drank his
we presume to be the fact, though we didn't
take pains to watch him; that we drank the
contents of the other glass,we know is not the
fact, not from any conscientious scruple, but
from absolute fear. We should have done so
but for that faithful sentinel,the nose. It was
an almost colorless liquor, the snail peculiar,
sud the taste of the most fiery and fearful kind.
The smell and taste—bare taste—were enough.
We took simply a swallow, perhaps half a ta
ble spoonful, anil the sensation that flashed
through the head—the burning sensation—
and seemed to take hold of every nerve and
fibre of the system, was more like that of some
]m overfill acid or virulent poison than of any
thing we had ever before tasted. Mr. Case
said it was “pure Catawba,” blit we would no
more risk it than we would rifle whiskey war
ranted to kill at forty rods; and when he in
formed us that he was accustomed to drink
that vile stuff daily, we no longer wondered at
the character of liis editorials, or al the singu
lar aspect which lie wears late in the afternoon
almost every (lay. ho much lor our experience
with Bro. Case, in “pure Catawba brandy.”
But for the wine ex|H*rience. A lew weeks
after the occurrence above related, as we were
about to leave the same hotel where we had
been boarding, and were standing at the coun
ter settling our bill, Mr. Case invited the land
lord to go and try a specimen of his pure Ca
tawba wine. The landlord, and not Mr. C. we
think, invited us to go as a third member of
tlie party. A specimen of wine was produced,
said to be C atawba, of which we took what w e
deemed proper and sutUcicnt, and it was ap
parently not intoxicating, not differing mate
rially in taste from various kinds of wines made
from currants, rhubarb, and other domestic
fruits. There was nothing peculiar about it,
either in taste or effect, and but for the above
paragraph we doubt if the occurrence would
ever have been revived in memory. Mr. Case
told the landlord that he was going to send
him a cask of the same wine; jokingly we re
marked that he had better serve his friends ail
alike. We made the remark without special
thought or intention, supposing that tile pro
posed cask for tlie landlord was intended as a
present, but we learned subsequently, that it
was intended as an off-set for his board bill,
and that Mr. C. is accustomed to crowd bis
Catawba upon his landlord to liquid-ate his
bills!
We ask the reader's pardon, renewed!)’, for
obtrudingthls article upon his attention. Noth
ing could be more offensive to our own taste.
We submit to the reader, if the offensive labor
iuis not Iteen forced upon us. We confess that
we have been served right. We consented to
place ourself in bad company and we have had
it publicly thrown in our face. The lesson is
a good one. We hope our readers will profit
from it. Remember, if you accept an invi
tation from Mr. Eliplialet Case to taste the pure
products of his own vineyard, he will openly,
and in public print, twit you of violating the
ordinary rules of sobriety! Remember that he,
an old man of sixty-six, is willing to plead
guilty of a shameless vice, for the sake of in
volving you in the disgrace!
Then think of the man who will so violate
the confidence of one whom he has invited to
partake of his hospitality! We know of no
crime more damning than that of inviting a
gentleman to your house or your room, to par
take with you of your own chosen sports .games
or practices, uudthen parading him before the
public in an unfavorable light for so doing.
The man who will bo guilty of so dastardly an
net, as Col. Bcntou once said, is unworthy to
cross his legs beneath a gentleman’s table
should be excluded from every assembly from
which regard for confidence is not spurned.
In closing, we will simply say that our pur
]>ose lias not been to injure the sale of Mr.
Case's Catawba; nor have tve felt at liberty to
betray the confidence that he has reposed in
U’.. .1,,...!.( ..... . ir... i:a ...
and reveal conversation or facts that have
transpired between him and us alone.
Nor would we have said what we have said
aliovc, but for his forcing npon us the necessi
ty of an explanation.

1 he » or Spirit in nestcrn New York,
A friend has handed us a private letter from
Syracuse, N. Y., dated Sept. 1, from which we
make the following extract:
“I doubt whether old Portland is stirred up
in this war business to the height we have it
here. We sent off yesterday (Sunday) ..
regiment of good stout follows to till up our
quota on the first call, and have another near
ly filled for the second. Within a stone’s throw
of my store, there are twenty small houses,
put right up in the street, anywhere they
pleased, (lags th ing and drums beating. The
stores are closed every afternoon at,4 o'clock,
and rousing war meetings are held every day.
t\ e have a great many Jews here, and during
the past week they have raised, among them
selves, about $3000 and a company of 100 men.
IJien we have also a good many Germans.
They commenced to raise a company three
days ago, and this morning they marched 105
men past my store. All the recruiting offices
were open yesterday (Sunday), and the squares
filled w ith people listening to w ar speeches."

Neab Piili.i.ips, Sept. 3, 1862.
There has ticen several deaths in ltangely,
and Phillips, within a few days,from diphtheria,
and there are others not yet terminated.
We had a lunch heavier wind on Tuesday
last, than about a week ago, which w as so
heavy south of us, and at Portland. It com
menced raining in showers, Monday, and in
the night there was very heavy ruin,with thun
der, vivid lightning, and high wind. Corn,
oats, Ac., were damaged considerably.
The frost on the 31st of August did consid
erable damage to corn, beaus, and vegetables
of the vine variety, and iu some localities i
killed potatoes.
The ground was very dry; the streams dried 1
up in many instances where they are not wont
to cease to run; lienee the frosts, no less than
three iu August, have been iquiu us.

The New York World copies from Die I
correspondence of the Tribune the following:
McClellan was three times ordered to move
and refused, and by a general order this morn
ing is removed from the command of all troops,
except those remaining iu Alexandria
When applied to by Gen. Pope on Friday to
send supplies to his starving army, he returned
word that lie would not.send them unless Pope
sent a cavalry escort for the trains. And at [
this time all McClellan’s forces were held idle
at Alexandria.
The confidenre reposed in Gen. McClellan by
the Government, iu placing him to defend the
Capitol, would seem to conflict with the Tri- j
buues authority.
Reminiscences of the bate Rattle.
We continue below to make extracts from
tlie extended and somewhat confused corres
pondence which is contained in tlie New fork
and other papers:
THE HEAD ANI) WOUNDED AT MANASSAS.
A llag of truce willi a corps of ambulances
visited tlie Held of Manassas on Monday, to
bring off the wounded of the battle of Satur
day previous. Tlie visit is thus described:
“The corps arrived at the outer line of tlie
enemy's videttes, stationed along the bank of
Cub Hun, about 11 o'clock, and the white llag
at once gave us admittance within their lines.
A curious group of slouch-hatted, butternut
uniformed cavalry thronged around us, and
though detailed to escort us to the battle-tleld,
stood around listlessly staring at us as if we
were a sort of national horse show. They
were very respectful, and cleverly communi
cative. Chatting along the road they took us
to the battle-field. tStanding around tile bat
tle-field in various squads, companies and bat
talions, were about 6000 soldiers, dressed in
every style of dress conceivable, from a sur
tout hunting jacket to a muskrat overcoat.
Some were dressed as civilians, with nothing
military about tlTcm except a sword or a rusty
shot-gun. They all asked us how long before
tlie war would close. They said, ‘All you hud
to do was to stop lighting us and peace would
come, as we were all sick of the war.’ They
said they, for some time, had got nothing to
cat or wear from the government. They had
not received a single ration from tlie govern
ment for the last ten days, but had lived on
the country and the supply they took from us
al Manassas; still almost every man avowed
his intention to fight to the last ditch for their
independence.
HOW THE FIEI.D COOKED.
Our dead lay untouched as they fell in bat
tle. with the exception of their caps and shoes.
1 did not see a single instance among the
whole eighteen huwlreel dead where the shoes
had not been rifled. There were palliating
circumstances, for many of tlie rebels were
barefooted. The reason assigned for the rebel
generals refusing flags of truce to approach
the field early after an engagement is that the
soldiers may have an opportunity of stripping
and rifling the dead, which is done, 1 am cred
ibly iuforincd, so that they are left in a state of
nudity. The wounded are also deprived of
everything valuable, either in the shape of
money or clothes, and a wounded officer’s uni
form is a godsend indeed.
The rebel dead and wounded hail all been
disposed of, and not a single vestige of sick,
killed or wounded remained on the field.
Even tlie straggling soldiers did not know
where they had been taken to. They were
evidently buried secretly in the night bv ne
grors, for occasionally, in a deep ravine, I
Btl'/oo III' rum I", BKIlIt llllli:n ICIl VI llllCCIi
feet square, where their victims hail been se
creted from tlie gaze of their own ineu.
STATE OF THE WOUXDKD.
The wounded who were removed from the
Held were placed in a (arm house and tents
occupying a |sirtion of the ground where the
battle of the 10th of July, 18bl, a day or two
preceding the celebrated Bull Run iffair, was
fought. They were carefully attended to by
Ur. Rauch and his attendant physicians, and
well and faithfully was their painful task per
formed. 1 never saw |K>or fellows more grate
ful for any little kindness shown them, and
more sympathizing with each other in their
misfortunes, than they were.
It apjiears the attack on our left and centre
mis almost simultaneous, and we had to leave
the battle Held, with the most of our dead and
■ wounded to the enemy. The surgeons, 1 pre
sume, during the engagement, had succeeded
in bringing olf several of the wounded of both
days, and dressing the wounds of many more,
who, unfortunately, had to bo left on the Held,
so that, up to the morning of Monday, several
hundred poor fellow s who were badly wound

that, in some way, they had succeeded in get

;y*After referring to the retreat of our
1 army toward Washington, the correspondent
of the New York l’ost says:
“The real truth of the matter seems to lie
that on .Sunday a Cabinet meeting was held,
at which it wax tinally decided to issue orders
for the army to fall hark upon the old 1‘oto
mae line, for sir or eight weeks, until thr new
lerirs shall hare heru slightly disciplined.
General lialleck, 1 understand, favors this
plan very strongly. General McClellan agree*
with him on this point. They say that no
great risk in reference to the capital should lie
encountered at this moment, a« we have an
immense new army luiuring down to the line
between the contending troops.
It is now thought that a hundred thousand
troops will lie sent up the river to Poolsville,
Point of Rocks and Harpers Ferry. We have
a large force now at Harper's Ferry, nnd Gen.
Wcml went tip this morning to command them
in iicrson. So far nothing is certainly known
of the movements of the rebels, but they can
not possibly lie concealed more than a day or
two longer.”

LATEST UY L.MN(. PAPERS,
250,000 rebels at Manassas — 90,000 under
Smith marching on Fredericksburg —
Stuart's cavalry at Fairfax — McClellan
assumes command of the union forces.
Nkw Yohk, September 4.
Joseph Holt of Ky., is appointed Judge Ad

The Herald's Washington correspondent
says that immediately after accepting the com
mand of the Washington defences, Gen. Mc
Cleilan proceeded to inspect the troops and
fortifications on the opposite shore, and was
engaged until yesterday at midnight, lie was
received by the troops with great enthusiasm.
A gentleman just from the relicl camp esti
mates the forces under the five generals, viz:
Jackson, Longstrect, Ewell, Hill and Gustavus
Smith—at not le*s than 250,000. They are all
consolidated at Manassas excepting Smith’s
column, 30,000, which is marchiug on Freder
icksburg.
The only rebels at Fairfax are Stuart’s cav
alry .
All the regimeuts engaged in the late battle j
fought valiantly; none 1 letter than the 1st It
Mass., which was never before under fire*. The
loss is said to he 40 per cent, of the forces en
gaged. The meeting of hostile battalions of
cavalry was terrific—over 300 being dismount
ed hv the shock.
The Herald’s correspondent at Hilton Head,
says Co. II., 3d N. 11. regiment, while on duty
at Pickucy Hand on the 21st of August, were
surprised by 3 companies of rebels, and tjic
entire company either killed, wounded or cap
tured.
The Herald’s Washington dispatch has the
following: To-night the Union army will all j
be concentrated in the works around this city, J
and Gen. McClellan has already assumed the {
portion of Cotumander-in-Uhief of all the
forces in the field in this part of the country, j
The announcement of this latter fact ha* been j
hailed with acclamations of infinite delight by
nearly the whole population.
The Herald's Washington correspondent
snys, on Monday Grover’s brigade, of Gen.
Hooker's division, hail one of the fiercest bay- |
one! charges that, has occurred during the
war. The brigade charged into the woods, |
when* the enemy were posted in three lines !
behind a breastwork four or five feet high,and
in about 20 minutes 507 of their number fell j
formed in one line. The brigade broke through i
two lines of the enemy, but lieingunsupported
they were obliged to fall hack. Tin* 2d N. H.
regiment actually crossed bayonets with the
rebels, and bad a desperate encounter,in which j
they lost severely, although they drove the j
rebels from their position.

Colored Men to re Enrolled.—Under
the late order of the Governor there are no
exempts from enrollment, and colored men
are to be enrolled wilh the rest. Orderly Ser
geants have no discretion in the matter.
IOtii Maine.—Letters received iu this city
front Washington state that the ltith Maine
Regiment was ordered to the front on Satur
day, but Col. Wildes remonstrated, and they
were ordered into camp of instruction tor one
week.—Hath Times.
£y"Mr. Colby, arrested at Gorham, by Mar
shal Clark, and deBtincd at Fort I’reble, re
quests us to say that his name is Charles Col
by, ami not Charles L. Colby, as we had it,
and that lie did belong to the Mass. 18th Reg

By*Report has it that Gen. Kearney was
killed Jiy the concussion of air, caused by the
near proximity of a shell. Scientific men have
exploded that theory of killing without scar
ring. Cannon balls frequently Bike off a hat, a
button, or whiskers, without the slightest in
jury to tile individual. The air concussion
llieory is played out
Lists of Killed and Wounded.—We
have received a few names of Maine soldiers
killed and wounded iu the recent battles nt
Manassas, but they are so incomplete and do
not designate whether the poor fellows are
killed or wounded, that we liavs thought it
best to delay until we can give something more
reliable.
Naval Recruits.-—We learn that the
Adjutant General of this state now reckons all
men who ship in the Navy, as part of the
quota of each town; but those who shipped
before he was authorized to do so by the War
Department, lie does not iuclude in the town's
quota.

—The Providence Journal says live of the
Governors of New England are iu Providence.
Four were ul the Commencement dinner:
Sprague of Rhode Island. Andrew of Massa
chusetts, Berry of New Hauqishire, and Wash

necticut arrived last evening. We naturally
infer very iuiporUiut public business brings
them in consultation.
BjjT”The Aroostook County Republican
Convention at Bridgewater, on Thursday of
last week, nominated Rev. Geo. W. Haskell,
of Ilodgdon, for Senator, and for county offi
cers adopted the nominees of the Union Con
vention, held on the Fourth of July. Mr.
Haskell is well known iu the eastern section
of the State, is a man of talent, and unswerv
ing integrity. He will undoubtedly be elected
by a handsome majority.
Fibe in Wixduam.—Yesterday morning.
Sept. 4tli, about 1 o'clock, tile barn of Mr. S,
M linker, at East Windham, was discovered Pi
bo on tire, and was soon consumed with all its
contents, consisting of a horse, a pair of ox
en, two cows, about thirty tons of hay, grain,
farming tools ifcc. Loss about $1,1100. Insur
ance on the barn $150. Incendiarism is sus
pccted, as Mr. Baker was in the barn, without
a light, at 10 o'clock the evening previous, and
is sure that he left everything right.
Ill Molts.—In the present excited state of
the public mind, all sorts of rumors And cred
ence, and aid in keeping the blood of the peo
ple at fever heat. It is better to wait for
official reports, aud rely upon the wisdom and
ability of our noble hearted and patriotic
President and ids generals. If the prospects
look dark, if the clouds lower around the old
Ship of State, let us rally a-, one man around
our heroic pilot, aud trust that in due tiuie all
will be well.
Twentieth 1!f.gimext.—On the first page {
will be found the roster of the field, staff and
line officers of the 20th Maine llegt., which left
for the seat of war Tuesday morning. It would
have appeared before, but for its being handed
us when we were absent from the city, under j
circumstance# that did not admit of its earlier
insertion. Probably few regiments have gone
forward to the field better officered than the :
Maine 20th. Col. Ames is a man who has seen
actual service, and whose courage and ability
have both been tested, and neither found want
ing. Major (iilmore has also won a name as a ;
Captain in the Maine Seventh, that is a suffi
cient guarantee of the wisdom of his selection |
for the post lie now occupies. We have seen j
letters from Col. Mason and Major Hyde, of
the “Seventh,” which speak in the very high- I
est terms of praise of Major Gilmore. Lt. Col.
Chamberlain has not seen actual service, but
there are few men who know him and his ster
ling qualities, aud the motives u Inch have con
trolled his decisions in exchanging the classic
shades of “Bowdoin,” whose honors were
crowding njw>n him, for the uncertainties and
dangers of the Camp, who have not the fullest
confidence that he will acquit himself manful- j
ly, and reflect honor alike upon the college
which lias given him up, and the State whose
patriotism he represents.
“The Copper Tip.”—parent* who wish to avoid j
the annoyance and expense of buying a new pair of
slioes every month for their children, can do so by
