MATTERS ABOUT TOWN.
Mr. Train’* Lecture.
The lecture of Geo. Francis Train, Esq., i
the new City Hall, Saturday evening, attract*
a fair audience. As he stepped upon the pla
form he was greeted with applause. Aft*
announcing the subject of his lecture, “Ko
ten Monarchies and Live Republics,” he invi
ed any Englishman who might be present t
confute what he should say relative to tht
country, promising any one who should s
attempt, a fair chance. Mr. Train was a litt]
hoarse, having, as he said, spoken two lioui
every night for two weeks, and his voice, j
times, was very indistinct
He commenced his lecture with the assertio
that while we lived in a live country with liv
instnrions, a live administration and a liv
President, England was rotten in its institu
tions, rotten in its religion, rotten in its gov
eminent, rotten in everything to the core. H
took up the aristocracy of that nation—Hi
dress circles, as he called them—and cam
down upon them in scathing language, declai
Ing them bankrupt in purse morals, religioi
and character, and related many anecdotes V
illustrate his position. He ridiculed the com
moil expression used by Americans in regar*
to England, calling her our mother country
“She is not our mother” said he, “she is ou
grandmother.” He stated that one out o
every eighteen of the population of Euglam
was a pauper. In regard to the couduct o
England towards us, especially in refusing ti
let the U. S. frigate Tuscarora coal at any o
the British ports, he was for retaliation, ant
for serving British vessels the same way in oui
ports, lie repudiated the idea of free trade
and went in strongly for such a protective tarif
as would exclude all British manufacture!
from this country. He stated that the South
introduced the first protective taritf, under the
auspices of Mr. Calhoun, in 181(1, and favored
the doctrine of protection until 1832, wliilt
the North, up to that time, was opposed to it
In 1832 the aristocrats of England, he said,
sent George Thompson over to this country to
introduce a bone of contention that, would
divide the North and South. Up to that time
the North had favored England and the South
had opposed her. Here Mr. Train said he was,
perhaps, encroaching, and lie would say noth
ing upon the Airican question unless the audi
ence wished 1dm. The audience told him to
go on. He then alluded to the mission of
Thompson to this country and the effects of it,
and wound up by telling what he was going to
do, viz: 1st, “Knock the bottom out of old
England." 2d,“Smash the abolition party."
He declared that at the next election in
Massachusetts he w ould rout the w hole aboli
tion party in that State.
Mr. Train is a pretty good speaker, very
fluent, and his hits elicited great applause.
Many of liis jokes were rather old. If we
have not entirely forgotten, John Xeal, in the
Yankee, some 33 or 34 years ago, told many
ol the same things Mr. Train did on Saturday
night. At the conclusion of his address Mr.
Train was greeted with rousing cheers.
Departure of the 23d Regiment.—The
23d Maine Regiment, under command of Col.
Virgin, marched in from Camp Abraham Lin
coln at 7 1-2 o’clock Saturday morning. The
27th regiment, Col. Tapley, accompanied by
the Portland Baud, escorted the 23d into the
city. The latter, about 8 o'clock, started in an
extra train of ears for Boston, amid the cheers
of the crowd assembled to see them off.
The 23d mustered 974 tneu including officers
and servants. About 30 are left behind, who
will soon join the ranks. This regiment was
recruited principally in Oxford and Andro
scoggin counties, and is composed of as fine a
body of men as lias been sent from this State.

Presentation.—The friends of Joseph H.
Freeman, of Poland, 2d Lieut, iu Co. G, 23d
regiment, met at the vestry of the church in
that town last Wednesday evening, and pre
sented him with an elegant sword and sash.
The presentation was made by Mr. S. O. Part
ridge, who made some handsome remarks,
whicli were responded to in an appropriate
manuer by Lieut. Freeman. After the pre
sentation the company sat down to an oyster
supper at the residence of his father Colonel
Freeman. We regret that the pressure of
matter compels us to omit the presentation
speech and reply.
A large crowd collected yesterday
morning in the vicinity of the 1st Baptist
iCIiurch, on Federal Street, in expectation of
seeing the 27tli regiment march into church
to listen to a discourse from Rev. Dr. Shailer.

Washburn has telegraphed to Col. Harding,
Assistant Quarter Master General, to make
arrangements for the transportation to Boston,
from this city, of one regiment from Bangor

Desertion ot n Rebel Regiment.
Cincinnati. Oct. 19.
After capturing our pickets, the guerilla
Morgan dashed into Lexington yesterday
morning at the head of 1500 men. Before
surrendering our troops fought him gallantly,
killing and wounding several. Our loss is six
killed and 125 prisoners, who were immediate
ly parolled.
Two hundred and fifty of our cavalry suc
ceeded in escaping.
Morgan soon afterwards left Lexington, tak- j
ing the Versailles turnpike. To-day when be
tween Versailles and Frankfort, he w as sud
denly met by about 2500 of Gen. Dumont's
cavalry, who. after a short light, routed him,
scattering Ins forces. One report says lie was ;
driven across the Kentucky river in the diree- j
tion of Lawrenceburg, and another that lie is j
endeavoring to unite with Humphrey Mar
shall. who is near Sliurpsburg. An attack
from Marshal! is looked for at Paris to-night.
Lexington is in possession of our troops.
Maj. Gen. Fremont passed through Indian

jSpeeial to New Volk Heruld.|—Gen. Mor
gan, wit li lout) rebel cavalry, entered Lexing- ;
ton yesterday. Our small force there is re
treating before him on our main force at |
Georgetown. Morgan found and parolled
about 75 of our sick in the town. After re
maining about three quarters of an hour he
retreated towards Manchester, and afterwards
moved in the direction of Frankfort. General
Dumont, on learning of his presence, started
in pursuit, with one regiment of infantry in
wagons, 1,000 cavalry and one section of ar
umry. in- ovortooK aim cieieaieu Morgan,
to-day, between Versailles and Frankfort, and
is now in full pursuit of his scattered forces,
moving toward Lawreuceburg. Morgan is
now between (ieus. Dumont and Buell, and it
is thought lie is not likely to escape. It is
probable he is pushing for Mount Sterling, to
join Humphrey Marshall. One of Humphrey
Marshall's regiments, composed principally of
Tennesseeans, deserted him on masse yester
day, and were brought into Paris to-day by
our cavalry.
Marshall's forces are represented as being
greatly demoralized and anxious to leave him.
No details of Morgan's defeat have been re
ceived.
Major Gen. John A. MeCl. i uard lias been
assigned to an important command of a special
expeditionary character, and will take the

Cairo, Oct. 19.
The steamers Dickey and Continental were
fired into near Island No. 21, last Wednesday,
by a rebel battery of 12-pouuders, which tile
rebels planted on the shore, tmt no one was
hurt. The Continental was struck twice, once
just above tile water line. The gunboat Pitts
burg came up from Fort Pillow and shelled
the woods and several suspicious places, hut
; the rcliels did not reply.
A Federal force stationed on the Tennessee
shore, opposite Island No. 10, was attacked by
400 rebels under Faulkner, Imt owing to the
: darkness the rebels fired info each other, [
throwing them into confusion, when they re- I
tired, followed by our cavalry. Eight retails I
were killed. We captured fifty horses and
several muskets. Faulkner, three captains
and thirteen privates were taken prisoners and .
brought to Columbus last night. Our loss is !
two killed and three wounded.
There is nothing of interest from Helena
except daily skirmishing. An attack from the

POSITIONS OF THE REBEL GENERALS.
REBEL DESPOTISM.
Harper's Ferry vs. Rebel Gold.
New York, Oct. 18.
The correspondent of the Philadelphia In
quirer writing from Pleasant Valley, October
17th, says the rebel General Stuart is at Bow
er, on the larin of Stephen Dandridge, some
four miles from Leestown. Col. Owen is in
command of Leestow n. Gen. Lee is at Ste
ven Depot, five miles east of Winchester.—
Gen. Longstreet is ten miles above Winches
ter. Stonewall Jackson is at Bunker Hill
with his force.
Before our forces arrived at Charlestown,
the rebels and rebel citizens sent to Winches
ter all the military stores they had.
The residents ol the town and country about
have been called upon to teed tire rebel army.
If not given voluntarily, force is used. Great
despotism is used in the army, and the rebel
soldiers and citizens complain of it. One
middle aged gentleman had a son badly wound
ed at Antietain, and went to Gen. Stuart to
get a pass to take him home. The General re
fused, stating that it was the fate of war, and
at tiro same time ordering tire father into tire
ranks.
Relative to the surrender of Harper’s Ferry,
the eitizeus of Charlestown say some one got
a good round sum in gold for the surrender.
Jackson shot twelve stragglers the other
day. Straggling has become such a nuisance
that Gen Stuart stated to a citizen who wished
a favor from him, that lie was sick and tired of
the war, and wished it was settled.
FROM JACKSONVILLE, FLA.
Capture of 1.50 of Stuart’s Cavalry.
WOLVES IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING.
New York. Oct. II).
A letter from Jacksonville, Florida, dated
i the 12th, states that on tile arrival there oil
the (Stli of Gen. Brannon, the town was found
nearly deserted.
The rebel steamer Governor Milton was
captured by an expedition up the river.
A large uumber of contrabands w ho fled to
our lines have been sent to Hilton Head.
Gen. Brannon and bis force have returned,
gunboats being depended upon to keep the
river free.
The Herald's special dispatch from the
1 lienriniirLtters ol* tin* .qrmv of tin* I'obmi-m
that 150 of Stuart's cavalry have been cap
i tureil. and it is expected that many more will
' he. Six were found on Friday night in the
vicinity of Gen. Iiickett's camp. They wear
our uniforms.
A large number of the rebel sick captured
.It Shcppardstown, have refused to accept of
their parole, but took the oath of allegiance, I
and have gone North.
Orders have been issued preventing oflleers
and civilians from crossing the Potomac above
Harper's Ferry. A few nights since a body
of rebels crossed at Sheppardstown, penetrat
ing almost to a brigade's headquarters belbre
they were repulsed. They had our uniforms
on.
Our troops passed through the route of
Stuart's cavalry on Thursday. There was
every evidence of a hasty retreat.
THE ELECTIONS.
Philadelphia, Oct. 19.
The vote on the Slate ticket is still in doubt.
Good judges of the election say that there w ill
not be live hundred voles difference on either
side.
HAimiRunto, Oct. 18.
Our information to-d iy is more encouraging
than yesterday. The Republican caudidfftes
in three closely contested districts will get cer
tificates, viz.. Thayer. Stuart and Wallace, it
is thought that the Democratic competition
may try to contest their right before the
House. This will make the Congressional
delegation thirteen Republicans and eleven
Democrats. The Republican majority on the
joint ballot will probably be five or six. The
Democratic State ticket is probably elected by
a small majority.
Hakiiisbi ro, Oct. 19.
Fifteen Union Congressmen, including Hai
ley in tlie lbth district, are no doubt elected.
The State ticket is still doubtful, with the ;
chances in favor of the Democrats. The |
House will in all probability stand lorty.six
Union to fifty-four Democrats. The Semite is f
twenty Union to thirteen Democrats. It is 1
generally conceded that there is a Democratic
majority on joint ballot.
Cincinnati, Oct 19.
Returns from sixty-six Counties give a Dem
ocratic majority of 18,000, being a Democratic
gain ol 50.000. The Democratic majority in
the State will lie about 12,000. The Congres
sional delegation stands fourteen Democrats
to five Union.
Cincinnati, Oct 19.
In Indiana the Democratic State ticket is
elected by 5,000 to S.11.<0 majority. The Dem
ocrats elect live Congressmen and ttie Union
ists four. The result in the tenth and eleventh
districts are uncertain. The districts are
claimed by both parties. The Democrats elect
a majority of both brances of the Legislature,
which secures the election of a Democratic
Senator for the vacancy occasioned by the ex
pulsion of Bright.
Nomination ol Gen. Dix for Governor.
From Newburn, N. C.
New York, Oct. 19.
Com. Hudson was buried yesterday after
noon at Brooklyn, with appropriate honors.
.»ii uigiuticuuiii cuueu uie federal union

Dix for Governor, and issued an address to the
electors of the State without distinction of
party, recommending that they form Federal
t nion Clubs, and send delegates to a conven
tion to be hidden at the Cooper Institute, in
this city, on the 28th inst., to ratify the nomi
nation of Gen. Dix.
The steamers G. (’. Collins and Ellen Terry,
from Newborn 14th inst., have arrived. Gov.
Stanley arrived at Newborn on the 11th inst
The gunboat Seymour has been raised from
the river Xeuse, anil put in order for service,
The British schooner Minerva reports that i
on the 5th iii't., in lat. 28 5(i. long. 75 10, she i
spoke a rebel steamer from Wilmington. X.C.,
for Xsssau, with a cargo of cotton. She was
about 200 tons burthen, painted green, and
schooner rigged.
Buell in Close Pursuit of the Enemy.
Louisville, Oct. 19.
John Morgan left Lexington with his forces
yesterday, passing through Versailles, thence
through Lawrencebnrg at daylight, and was
at Bloomtfcld at 2 o’clock this afternoon. Gen.
Dumont is in pursuit. There has lieen no tight
between Dumont and Morgan. Buell reports
just south of Mount Vernon. Gen. Critten
den’s army corps, further south, is in pursuit
ot Bragg. It is supposed that the rebel army
is aiming to cross into Tennessee by Big Creek
Gap and Wilson’s Gap. Buell is In close pur
suit, and it is believed he will force the rebels
to a tight or capture a large portion of them
before they reacii Cumberland Gap.
The Perrysville battle at Caplin Hill was '
brought on prematurely, and against orders of i
Gen. Buell, whose plans lor enveloping the
whole of Bragg’s army were thwarted, and his
pursuit of the rebels delayed by that circum
stance.
Rebels Must Fight.
Philadelphia. Oct. 18.
The Washington Star states that eircum- '
stances conspire to induce the general impres
sion among military men here, that the rebels
in Gen. McClellan's front will soon tight, as lie
is evidently crowding them moreand more, and
have not evinced a disposition to give hack.— !
The fact is that if they prefer retreating, he
may by moving upon the rays of the circle
through some near part of the Blue Ridge, get
before Richmond as soon, if not sooner, than
they reach that point by marching down the
valley to Staunton. This is the reason why it
is now thought that they must light before at
teiupting to retreat.
Capture of Rebel Cavalry.
Gen*. Siuel's Headquarters, I
Fairfax Courthouse, Oct. 18,1862. (
Gen. Stahl to-day, with a detachment of
cavalry, met a large lorce of rebel cavalry and I
one battery of artillery near Thoroughfare |
Gap, and attacked them, capturing SO of the
enemy and one caisson tilled with ainmuni- I
tion. The enemy was routed, and Gen. Stahl !
is in h it pursuit.

Spring*.
Caiko, Oct. 18.
Gen. Trice is said to be gathering a large
number of troops at Iiolley Springs, with tile
view ot attacking some point on the Mobile
I & Ohio Railroad.
There is a rumor here, apparently not well
authenticated, that an attack has been made
by the rebels on the Federal troops at Island
No. 10. No boat has arrived from Memphis
for three days, and trouble is feared ou the
river.
Capture and Burning of Shawneetown by
Quantrell.
Kansas City, Mo., Oct 18.
Reliable information stales that Quantrell,

San Fkancisco, Oct. 17.
The markets generally are very dull. There
is no disposition to speculate in any article of .

Launch of another iron-clad.—The
fourth of the m-w Monitor flout the Moutauk,
was successfully launched this week at Green
point. from the wharf at the foot of the Conti
nental Iron Works. The Moutauk is one of
the nine one-turret Monitors wnich were con
tracted for in April and May last. Four of
these are now afloat. Their names are: Xo. 1,
Passaic, launched at Greenpoint, 31st of April’.
1802; Xo. 2. Patapsco, launched at Wilming
ton, Del., October 1, 1802; Xo. 3, Xahtmt,
launeded at Boston Get. 0, 1802; No. 4. Mon
tank, launched at Greenpoint, October 1802.
The others are No. 5, Xantucki t, building at
Boston, nearly ready; No. 0. Lehigh, building
at Chester, fa., nearly ready ; Xo. V, Sangamon,
building at Chester, nearly ready; Xo. 8, Kuats
kill, building at Greenpoint, anti nearly ready;
Xo. 9, Wehawken, building at Jersey City, and
nearly ready. Thus it will jbe seen that in a
short time all the second batch of the Moultons
will be available for service.
The dimensions ol the Moutauk are: Length,
200 feet: width, forty-live feet; depth, twelve
feet six inches. Draught of water in lighting
trim, eleven feet. Tundage about 1,800 tons.
Dimensions of turret, twenty-one feet in«ide,
eleven inches thick, nine Ibel high, ami pierced

anchor “in a well ' forward, so as to obvate go
ing on deck to work it. She is Imlk-beaded,
and trained probably in a stronger manner than t
any other vessel ever built. Her deck beam- !
are exceedingly heavy, m iking her deck, which |
is nineteen inches thick, nearly solid. Over j
this there is still an iron covering, consisting j
of plates an inch thick. The side armor is
live incites thick, or half an inclt thicker than
that of the Warrior, ami lias eight times thick
er wooden wall than that monster. The rud
der and screw are protected by being inside of
the armor and under water. The engines are
two in number, and have been built at the Ilcl
amater Iron Works. They have already arriv
ed at the Continental work yard. The cylin
ders are forty inches in diameter, ami about
four feet stroke. She has two of Martin's pa
tent boilers ami a surface condenser, not Sew
all's. The screw is twelve feet in diameter,
and twenty ieet pitch. The material of the
screw is east iron. The ventilators and other
health preserving paraphernalia of the Mon
tauk are as perfect a- they could lie made. The I
Moutauk cost 8403.00.1. as did all the others.
Mr. hriesson has the immediate supervision
ol ail the vessels of this rate; but not of the
Onondaga, another large iron-clad, now on the
Stocks at Greenpoint, and contracted for by
Mr. Quintard. There is some important ditler
euce in the principle upon which this craft is j
being built. She will be very large.
Evergreen Trees.—Evergreens are al
ways in leaf, and it is, therefore, important in
planting to secure a quick action of the roots,
in order to sustain the foliage. Early in the
spring the ground is cold and wet, and the
roots cannot take hold; and therefore sharp,
drying winds are very likely to exhaust the
tree of all its juices liefore a new supply can l»e
furnished. Late fall planting is still worse—
for the roots remain dormant a much longer
time, and evaporation from the leaves is going
on to some extent throughout the winter. In
May and June the ground becomes warm—the
roots are ready for act ion—and, consequently,
the time is favorable for removal.
But the conditions are even more favorable
in August and September. At this season the
ground i- thoroughly warmed through, and a#
the nights begin to Ik* cool and dewy, the earth
g;ves. as it were, a gentle bottom heat. It is
surprising to Hud with what readiness and
vigor the roots now act—often signs of growth
within three days alter planting. There i>
this additional advantage over May, that the
tree has made all its growth for the season,
and early matured it^ wood, so that it is not
in need of such a full How of sap as when the
young growth is starting, or is succulent, and
the plant has need of all its energies. During
the autumn months, the earth being warmer
than the atmosphere, while the wood is sim
ply maturing, not growing, the roots on the
contrary are in vigoious action, and will insure
sufficient strength to resist the succeeding win
ter, and also the best possible condition for
subsequent growth.—[New England Farmer.
IIow to Relieve the British Operatives.
The Secretary of one of the London assist
ance societies proposes this plan to relieve the
distress among the British operatives, for want
of employment in consequence of the scarcity
of cotton.
The statistics show, that about seventy mil
lion pounds sterling are expended in the Uni
ted Kingdom annually, for wine, beer, and oth
er liquors; if the parties using them will ab
stain one week, and give the amount they
would have paid for liquor to the aid of the
suffering in Lancashire, «Jfcc., it would amount ,
to nearly seven millions of dollars.
A foreign journal says the Austrian
ladies have resolved to give crinoline a dead
cut, and have intimated to the managers of the
Vienna theatres that they will not patronize
the house where the actresses wear crinoline.
Crinoline in this country can stand a great I
deal of “cutting,” aud still make a wide *
spread.
