three-quarters, on Eloquence and Orators, and
while the production was not faultless, meas

good sense, wit, humor, pathos, and all those
elements which go to make up ail eloquent
discourse from one of our best living orator*.
We shall attempt no report—not even a sy

reception must have been highly gratifying
not only to the lecturer, but also to the Asso

A large delegation of the Maine Seventh were
upon the stage, who were received with the
most generous demonstrations as they came
into the liali, and Mr. Gough's eloquent allu

and to Gen. Bragg, specifically laying down a
plan for military operations in the West and
South West, by which our forces were effec

recently made in pursuance of it. According
to Beauregard's programme the objective
point of the rebels were, first Louisville and
then Cincinnati, and lie was particular in stal

could take Louisville, while the main body
would be marching to Cincinnati. He con
templated the construction of a work at the
former city for the command of the Ohio and
the canal, and the destruction of the canal as
soon as possible, so completely that future
travellers would hardly know where it was.—
To keep the command of Cincinnat i, he would

\V ASHINOTON. Oct. 13.
It is understood that a special dispatch was j

wounded ami missing was between 1500 and
2000, while that of the enemy was much larger,
and that we held the Held that night and skir
mished with them in the retreat next morning.
When this dispatch left Louisville a courier
was expected to arrive in the course of the
night, bringing the details of the pursuit of J
the rebels and of a battle which was probably
fought yesterday.

of the account of the killing of Gens. Bragg \

man who arrived here this morning from near

ence of Ucu. Stuart a few minutes before he
crossed the river w ith his marauding force, in
retreat from Pennsylvania. Stuart informed
him in a sarcastic manner that he had fooled
tile whole party, but regretted that he hud not
accomplished what was intended when lie
started, as he was expected to reach Frederick
uc'iiwj im; ^ufuiuui' lav owi to at iu.it
point, then destroy the bridge over the Mono
ciioy river; but Unit all tilings takeu into con
sideration, he had carried out his programme
with much success. Stuart's men and horses
were extremely exhausted, but the former
were in high glee, and from the looks of the
clothing on their horses, and that which they
had on their persons, and that which they had
tied on their extra stolen horses—which num
bered about one thousand—a change would be
very aeccptible, especially shoes and boots of
which they had a large quantity. Gen.Stuart
sent his compliments to a number of United
(States officers with whom he w as acquainted
in old times.

What Becomes of Dead Hones.
Another horse was killed at the Kennebec
Depot on Monday. These railroads make
mince meat of horse-flesh—the iron horse is
too much lor mere horse lle-h and blood. And
by the way, do our readers know what becomes
of all the dead horses ? We had seen so many
horse lunerals pass by our residence at Wood
ford's Corner that we became a little curious
on this subject, and when the hist victim of the
railroad was carried by we went out ami join
ed the cortege, if not as chief mourner, at least
as a sympathizing friend of all ill-used and un
fortunate horses. We soon discovered their
fate when once they become old and useless or
are killed by accident. They are immediately
sent to the bone boiling establishment of our
neighbour, Mr. Maurice Dearborn, where they
arc skinned, and bqjled, and every part of their
bodies turned to a protitable use. Of the skins
whips are manufactured, and they are also cut
into striiw to be used on the boxes of sugar
we import from Cuba. The flesh is boiled,
and, the bones having been extracted, is fed to
the hogs or thrown upon the manure heap—
horseflesh being thus converted into pork and
potatoes! The bones—the large ones having
been sawn into pieces by steam power—are
sold to manufacturers in New York, who man
ufacture from them knife and fork handles
and. various other articles. Mr. Dearborn’s
place is a perfect Golgotha, the pile of skull
bones, and breast bones, thigh bones and shin
bones, reaching mountainous proportions. Of
the hoofs buttons are made. The manes ami
tails arc sold to the Shakers, who manufacture
horse-hair sieves. Thus the noble animal is
all appropriated, and is scarcely less useful in
death than in life. Though we cannot say
peace to his mimes, let us rejoice that he no
longer meets the fate recorded in the sailors
ditty, sung when seated around their dinner of
particularly had beef:—
“Old horse! oM horse! what brought you here!
From Saccarap' to Portland pier
I've carted boards this many a y ear;
Till, killed by blows and sore abuse,
They salted me down for sailor’s use.
The sailors they did me despise;
They turn me over and damn my eyes;
Cut off my meat and pick my bones.
And pitch the rest to David Jones.”
