Sad Accident—Five Lives Lost.—Yes
terday forenoon, Cliarles II. Preston, a private
in the 17th U. S. Infantry, stationed at Fort
Preble, belonging in Ilenton, Frances L. Pres
ton, his wife, Joseph Cobh of Cape Elizabeth,
aged ten years. Barbara B. Cobb, aged twelve
years, Benjamin L. Preston, aged about twelve
years, and J alia A. Deraid, aged about twelve
years, started from Cape Elizabeth in a lap
streak boat with one sail, to go to Hog Island.
As the wind blew very fresh, the boat shipped
water, and when between Half-Way Hock and
Hog Island, no one seeming to understand
how the boat should be managed, she went
under. Mr. Preston and his wife. Barbara
Cobb and J uiia Derald were drowned. The
The last that was seen of Preston he was mak
ing for his wife, whose clothing buoyed her
out of the water. The Preston and Cobh
boys went down with the boat, but as she
righted nnd floated, the Preston boy got on
board and pulled the Cobb boy iuto the boat.
He then commenced baiting the boat, and had
succeeded in getting part of the water out,
when he sank down insensible. The schooner
Mountain Fawn, Capt. Sylvanus Gammagc, of
Bristol, was informed of the accident by a boat
which had seen the disaster, but which was
unable to afford any assistance. Capt, Gam
mage immediately run down and took the
boat in tow. He found the Preston and Cobb
boys on board insensible. Measures were
taken for their recovery, which proved suc
cessful in Preston’s case, but which were una
vailing as to Cobb. Young Preston says that
just before he fainted he saw Cobb sitting up
in the boat. Coroner Hall will hold an inquest
this morning at Cape Elizabeth upon the body
of young Cobb. The other bodies have not
been recovered.
Mrs. Preston, Joseph Cobb and Barbara E.
Cobb were children of Morris K. Cobb of Cape
Elizabeth, and Julia A. Derald was a grand
daughter. This is a sad blow—three children,
a grand-daughter and a son-in-law taken thus
suddenly away.
It is just about a year since that a like mel
ancholy circumstance occurred, by which six
of our Portland citizens lost their lives.
22d Maine.—The 22d Maine Regiment
left Bangor at 12.45 P. M. yesterday, and ar
rived here at 8.30 P. M. The train proceeded
directly to the Boston depot, where the sol
diers changed cars, and about half-|>ast 10
o’clock proceeded to Boston over the upper
route. There was a large crowd of men and
women at the depot, many of whom provided
themselves with refreshments, which were
handed to the soldiers. As the train started,
rousing eheers were given to the gallant fel
lows, which were answered in the heartiest
manner by them.
The regiment musters about 930 men, in
cluding Field, Staff and Line officers. About
850 came through last night. The men look
robust and healthy. They are from Bangor
and the eastern part of the State. They are
furnished with the old altered flint lock mus
kets, at which they grumble some, but hope to
obtain a better article when they reach Wash
ington.
The following is the roll of Field and Staff
officers:
Colonel—Simon G. Jerrard, Levant.
Lieut. Colonel—Olonzo G. Putnatn, Dover.
Majoi—Joint O. Brackett, Palmyra.

Drum Major—George W. Clark, Newport.
Fife Major—George W. Grant.
A Rush.—The notice that the Collector of
this port would, at 4 o'clock yesterday after
noon, distribute an amount of the postal cur
rency, attracted a great crowd at the Custom
House. The entries and stairway were packed
with human beings, each anxious to obtain
entrance. A police force, stationed at the
door, kept the crowd outside. They were ad
mitted as fast as the packages could be deliv
ered at two places of delivery. In Hlleen
minutes the Collector had paid out all that he
had reserved for that purpose, the balance
having been furnished the banks. Some per
sons tried to come the dodge game, and thus
get two packages, but the plan was frustrated.
We understand Collector Jewett intends to
make application for another amount for this
city and vicinity.
Afflicting Intelligence.—A telegram
from Major Mann, in Washington on Monday,
fi.nnntinpf>fi fill* «ad none that \fr IT w.
house, Quartermaster of the 17th Maine Regi
ment, was dangerously ill, and in a critical
condition. The wife and mother of Mr. IV.
left for Washington Monday afternoon. Yes
terday morning another despatch was re
ceived, representing the case as hopeless. It
will sadden the hearts of all who were ac
quainted with Mr. Waterhouse to hear of his
death. No further intelligence had been re
ceived up to 12 o’clock last night.
Ci.ebical.—At a meeting of the State
street Parish, Monday evening, a request was
received from the pastor, Rev. George Leon
Walker, for a vacation of three months, his
physician having advised him to abstain from
preaching for the present. The society unan
imously voted to grant him three months ale
seuce, to continue his salary, and to supply tho
pulpit during his absence.

GEN. SCOTT’S POSITION.
Order by the President.
Decisions by Commissioner Boutwell.
%
Washington, Oct. 21.
Early in 1801, when the civil war seemed
! pending, but Imd not actually broken out,Gen.
I Scott wrote two papers containing his views,
' professional and political,on the crisis, ami the
rights and duties which devolved on the gov
ernment in the momentous conjuncture. One
of them lias recently been published without
tlie writer’s consent. The second appears to
day. having been furnished to the press by
himself. It establishes in the first place, the
patriotic anxiety of the gcneral-In-chief to
prepare for the coming storm, and his earnest
ana repeated eflbits to prevail on the govern
ment to garrison and secure the Southern
| forts against every possible attack, ami dis
closes in the second place the causes of his
! failure, which it is now evident resulted from
j the indecision of President Buchanan, who
j was doubtless misled by treachery in the Sec
j retary of War, if not in other members of the
: cabinet, In whom the head of the government
j reposed a misplaced confidence.
The President has appointed Hon. Andrew
I B. Dickerson to be Marshal of the Northern
' District of New York. Hon. Thus. H. Clay
} of Kentucky lias been appointed Minister res
ident at Nicaragua, in place of Mr. Dickerson.

It is hereby ordered that all persons who
may have actually been dialled into the militia

Secretary of War.
The Commissioner of Internal Revenue has
made the following decisions:—1st. Alcohol
manufactured from whiskey, distilled prior to
Sept. 1st, and on which a tax has not been
paid, will be subject to a duty of 3 per cent,
ad valorem.
2d. A regularly licensed auctioneer can sell
in his own store the goods of any dealer, but
he cannot sell the goods, w ares, Ac., of any
unlicensed dealer w ho is subject to a license
tax in his (the dealer's) place of business
without being subject to the penalty. An
auctioneer can sell such goods as are not
usually included in the stocks of dealers,
wherever such goods may be situated, w ithout
taking a special license therefor.
3d. Section 77 in speaking of any persons
ow ning, possessing or keeping any carriage,
yacht or billiard table, is to be interpreted as
referring to three different classes of owners,
viz: such as jiossess any carriage, and as a
second class such as possess any yacht, and as j
a third class such as possess any billiard table.
There is nothing in the wording of the law
referring to plate that would lead to the inl'er
i enee that the tax upon It is to be made contin
gent upon the keeping of a carriage, yacht or
billiard table.

Gen. Dumont passed through here this eve
ning en route for Indianapolis.
One hundred and tiftv reliel prisoners from
Frnnklort and Lexington, and 300 parolled
Federal prisoners from Cox's Creek, have ar
rived here. They lelt at 3 o’clock Monday
morning, and up to 2 o'clock this afternoon
had nothing to cat. Morgan having destroyed
all the captured provisions that he could not j
cany away. Morgan’s men changed clothes
with many of our prisoners. This band are
said now to be clothed in Federal uniforms.
Doubtful rumors say that the bridges over
Bolling Fork and Bacon Creek have been de
stroyed by the rebels.
Eight Commissioners sent by the Chicago
Sanitary Commission, who were captured near
Cox’s Creek, have arrived here. Morgan's
men took all their supplies.
On Monday morning the rebels at Cox’s

The 27th Maine regiment. Col. Tapley, ar
: rived at Jersey City early this morning, where
j a hot breakfast was furnished by Col. Howe j
I and Major Brown of the New England Rooms,
j and left at 10.30 for Washington, in charge of |
Superintendent Woodruff.
| The steamship City of Manchester, from j
: Liverpool 7th, arrived this evening. Her l
] news has been mainly anticipated by the Ba- j
varia. A disgraceful riot occurred in Hyde
i’ark. London, on Sunday, the 6th inst., which j
lasted two hours. There were 100,000 persons !
present, and at least gooo were engaged in the
j melee, including several hundred soldiers off j

Capture of Rebel Cavalry.
Headquarters Army Potomac, )
October 21st, Evening. )
An expedition started from Gen. Slocum's
command this morning, for the purpose of in
tercepting and capturing a force of rebel cav
alry under Copt. Dug, who were foraging near
Lovettsville, Loudon County, Va. It was in
every res|iect successful, but the details are
not known. We took thirty two prisoners,
among whom was the Captain, and killed ten
of tlie enemy. Our loss was one man killed
j and four wounded. The rebel company was
an independent one, raised in Loudon County.
Mrs. Gen. McClellan and Mrs. Gen. Marcy,
having finished their visit to the army of the
Potomac, left for Washington to-day.
FROM FORTRESS MONROE.
Items from Richmond Papers.
Fortress Monroe. Oct. 20.
The steamer Commodore arrived to-day
frem Aiken's Lauding, bringing down over
600 parolled Union prisoners, many of whom
came recently from Macon, Ga., and were cap
tured at Cedar Mountain. There were but a
few officers. Among the latter is Arthur E.
Jordan of the 10th Maine. The most of the
600 will be sent to Annapolis.
The Richmond Dispatch of the 18th says’:—
From the remarkable consistency of the three
reports published by us yesterday, it seems
that our forces under Gen. Bragg have gained
a great victosy over Gen. Buell’s. Our loss
was 5000. Tlte present position of our anny
is not known, but doubtless they are in pur
suit of the enemy.
The Hon. VV. H. Field, formerly of Kentuc
ky, was murdered in Missouri by the federal
soldiers.
The Dispatch also says: A number of sick
soldiers arrived in Richmond yesterday, on the
Central railroad. Included in the number was
some of those wounded by the railroad acci
dent at Charlottevilie on Wednesday last, by
which over 40 were killed and wounded.
The Examiner of the 18th, says: We have
some intelligent advices from our army in
Northern Virginia, but as they refer to antici
pated movements, we suppress that portion of
them. Our lines are quiet. The enemy are
still at Harper's Ferry. The federals on
Wednesday last were destroying the railroad
betweeen Charlestown and Winchester. All the
news from our army is burdened with the
complaints of the wretched and sh&tueful ar
rangements for the sick and wounded. The
fault is not with the subordinates, but lies at
tlte door of the medical director. The ill
treatment of our sick and wounded is a crying
abuse. Nothing dampens the ardor of our
soldiers so much. It demoralizes the service,
and disgraces humanity, the government and
our officers in the field. It is a fact that none
of our generals except Beauregard has ever
visited one of our hospitals.
Reports from Winchester say that General
Stuart is on another foray, and that a cavalry
fight occurred at Charlestown on Thursday
last, of which no particulars have been re
ceived. The commissary department is the
most corrupt branch of this government. Tlte
system of contracts by this bureau, and the
fashion which all of Mr. Northrup’s assistant
commissioners seem to have of leading that
official by tlte nose, have given rise to specu
lations on the army, ami tlte country will be
found when fully developed, to rival the cor
ruption of the Washington government.
Gen. Pemberton w ho lias been appointed to
supersede Vail Dorn, and has recently been
put ill command of the department of the
Mississippi, belonged to the yankee army in
the spring ol 1861. He was in command at the
Biege of James Island, Charleston, S. C., and
has a reputation lor a large share of caution.
The Yankees scarcelv know what to make
ol Milans dash into l enusylvama. It was
bold ami daring.
The Enquirer also says, the fight in Ken
tucky continued three days, the 7th, 8th and
9th. llragg was successful each day, captur
ing many guns and over 10,000 prisoners, be
sides kiliing and wounding many. We have
heard of no Geueral officers having been killed,
The drafting of negroes for military service
is strongly recommended by the Richmond
papers.
The Enquirer says, our exchanges speak
with great anxiety of the prospect of an at
tack upon Mobile by the enemy, which attack
might involve important consequences, as the
capture of this point would give the enemy
immediate possession ol the Alabama and
Tomliigliee rivers. A march of the enemy
into the interior of Alabama would succeed in
cutting the Confederacy more completely in
two than the enemy could hope to do by the
possession of the Mississippi river, throughout
its entire length, as it would destroy the line
of communication now passing through Mont
gomery, which has been of incalculable benefit
to tlie people of the entire South.

Capture or a Rebel Lieut. Colonel.
Serenade to General Fremont.
St. Louis, Oct. 21.
Dispatches received at headquarters, from
Helena, Ark., to the 17th inst., report all quiet,
and tile fortifications nearly completed..
The rebel Gen. Holmes had sent to General
Carr, under a Hag of truce, a communication
falsely assuming that the U. S. government or
its generals had been engaged in arming ne
groes in Arkansas, to which course General
Holmes entered an emphatic protest. General
Carr promptly responded, telling him that
neither the government nor its agents had
nr i.ed negroes; on the contrary the federal
troops have been employed in disarming the
negroes, and while so employed were attacked
and a portion of them captured by guerillas.
Gen. Carr adds: Whatever may be the policy
of my commanding officer anil the goveru
int nt, I shall cheerfully follow it out.
In a skirmish on the lltli, twelve miles west
of Helena, the national forces captured the
Lieut. Col. of the 21st. Texas regiment and 12
privates. The enemy’s furtherloss is unknown.
Maj. Rector of tiie 4th Iowa, was taken
prisoner, and we had 4 killed, (i wounded and
14 missing.
The friends of Gen. Fremont last night wel
comed his return to this city, in a grand sere
nade. From four to five thousand people were
present and the reception was in every respect
cordial and enthusiastic. In response to re
peated calls, the General made a few remarks,
referring to his former visit to this city,stating
that the principal object of his visit now was
to be present at the trial of a friend and fellow
soidier, Gen. McKiustry, believing as lie did
that the assaults upon him were made solely
because lie felt it an honorable duty to stand
by the side of his chief.

' Is slavery—the ownership of one man

Cassius M. day in a recent speech in

jy Commissioner Boutwell has decided
that an apothecary who sells ardent spirits by
retail must have a retail liquor dealer's license.
If, however, he only uses it in the compound
ing of medicines, it is not necessary that he
should take a license as a retail liquor dealer.
Revenue Decision.—Mr. Allen L. Howe,
livery stable keeper of Dedham, having written
to Commissioner Boutwell in respect to the
tax on coaches, has been informed that “ it
was clearly the intention to tax each carriage
of a livery stable keeper separately, and irre
spective of his license.”
Hon. J. R. Giddings, w ho from his con

also states that the publication of that letter
was unauthorized by Gen. Scott.
J1P" The Vatican is a pile of buildings cov

This lias been added to by one Pope after an

The following item from the New York
correspondent of the London Times, shows
what kind of information is communicated to
the readers of that veracious Journal. Refer

but none seeming to think there is the least
impropriety in discussing it.

A correspondent of the New York
Tribune is permitted to state upon the author
ity of a gentlemnn holding pesronal relations
with Gen. Ilalleck, that the latter approves
the proclamation of President Lincoln. He
says: “Gen. Halleck says that in a military
aspect, he has no doubt on the question since
the reliellion assumed, its present formidable
proportion, aud has never wavered from the
belief, that if we would conquer the South, its
| black labor must be taken from it.”
The N. York Commercial says that no
necessity exists for concealing the fact that an
expedition is now preparing to operate against
one or more Southern ports. The rendezvous
has already been occupied by a fleet of ves
sels, the presence of which, within view of the
rebel signal posts, will reveal the strength of
the intended demonstration. The expedition,
whatever its destination, will be commanded
by naval heroes of acknowledged ability. It
will be stronger in point of armament and class
of ships than any fleet which has embarked on
an offensive movement.
SKowitF.fiax Horse Show.—The “Mail”
says that the exhibition of horses at Skowlte
gan, Tuesday and Wednesday, Mr. Lang’s
horse. “Gen. Knox,” took the sweepstakes,
(fcoOO.) making a half mile in 1:15 and a mile
tit 2:35, “and could do lietter.” His Cloudman
Horse” took the first premium for horses that
had not trotted for money, The three purses
for mares anil geldings were taken—1st, by
Taylor’s “Lucknow”; 2d, by Pierce’s “Garibal
di,” (of Bangor,) and 3d by Savage’s “Gipsey
Queen.” The purse for Stallions six years old
and under, was taken by Shaw's “Flying Mack
! of Augusta, in a sharp contest with the “Gar
land Horse,” of Skowhegan. Mr. Seavey of
Waterville, took the 1st premiums on matched
horses and on family horse, and I. II. Low of
Watcrvlle the 2d on family horse. Taylor of
Boston, took the 2d oil matched horses.
The Episcopal Church set Right.
The General Convention of the Episcopal
Church, after a long debate, adopted the reso
lutions refering to the rebellion, and reported
by the committee of nine. The vote was tak
en by dioceses, the clerical vote being, yeas, 13,
nays, 7; the lay vote, yeas 11, nays, 4.
An exchange says great efforts seem to have
been made to prevent the passage of the reso
lutions. Other sets of resolutions, presented
by men known to sympathize with the Rebels,
were voted down, and others still,of a strong
er character, shared the same fate. Judge
Chambers, of Maryland, and four others, wish
ed *o have a protest against the resolutions re
corded, but failed in the attempt.
The Pastoral Letter of the Bishops refers to
the change in the condition of the Church and
the country, and thus refers to the cause:
“That cause is all concentrated In a stupen
dous reliellion against the organic law and the
constitutional Government of the country, for
the dismemberment of our National Union, un
der which, confessedly, all parts of the land
have signally prospered and been blessed.”
The following sentence from the Pastoral
Letter doubtless refers to Maj. Gen. Bishop
Polk, who has laid aside the sword of the spir
it for a more carnal weapon :
When the ordained ministers of the Gospel
of Christ, whose mission is so emphatically one
ot peace and good will, of tenderness aud con
solation, do so depart from their sacred calling
as to take the sword, and engage in the fierce
and bloody conflicts of war—when in so doing
they are fighting authorities which,as the pow
ers that be, the Scriptures declare are ordained
of God, so that in resisting them they are re
sisting God—when, especially, one comes out
from the exalted spiritual duties of an overseer
of the flock of Christ, to exercise high com
mand in such awful work—we cannot ourselves,
overseers of the same flock, consistently with
duty to his Church, ministry, and people, re
frain from placing on such examples our strong
condemnation.
