1, It Patriotism, or What is it f
No render of the democratic press can have
failed to notice the persistent, efforts making to
create capital out of the displacement of (Jen.
McClellan, and the appointment of (Jen. Bum
side. The strongest etlbrls are made to excite
revolt against it in the public mind, to beget
the impression that the soldiers are indignant
and on the verge of mutiny, ami to further •
beget the impression that the removal has de
layed the advance of the army of the Poto
mac. Not only these, but taunts of the most
unmanly kind arc indulged in, and nothing is
omitted that gives tire slightest promise of
inflaming the public and of increasing the
difficulties—thick and weighty enough at the
least—in the pathway of the new commander.
Add to all these the prophesies of evil to
which the public are constantly treated, as
though by Gen. McClellan alone the country
could be saved, and In his removal the last
hope of the Union had broken down. On the
street, too, wc hear the questions, “When is
your new General to put down the rebellion ?
when Is the army to move? why don't a great
battle cotnc off?” and others like these, all in
dicating the poorly concealed desire that
Burnside may prove a failure, and that disaster
may crown our arm?.
In view of such things, patent to all who
have eyes to see and ears to hear, we repeet
the question, is it patriotism, or is it something j
less worthy, that inspires the spirit and |
prompts the efforts and suggests the questions
to which we have referred? Had our demo- i
cratic friends so far committed themselves to j
one man that they will accept success only
through him? If their favorlt* is not to lead
our armies into the promised land, will they
refuse to follow and occupy that land? Sup
pose Gen. McClellan to be the best man in the
country, the ablest commander, and the most
fitting officer to lead our troops on to victory;
suppose him to be all courage, energy and
daring, and that lie has been slow only through
a wise and justifiable caution; suppose him
even to lie an abused and wronged man, that
he has been unsupported by the government,
and that Stanton is the devil some insist that
he is; auy/jiose all these things to be so, what
then ? Is the country's cause to be abandon
ed? Is the salvation of the country of less
importance thin the interests of a single man?
Shall unpatriotic impulses he stirred and stim
ulated because one man is removed from a
post of honor? We do not so understand
duty—we do not so understand the spirit of
the American people.
Surely, Gen. McClellan has said nothing to
encourage such unpatriotic movements against
hi* successor; and no true friend of his will,
for a moment, relax his interest in behalf of a
cause of much more importance than all the
Generals in the army. Between General- Mc
Clellan and Burnside the best understanding
has subsisted, and the latter, all agree, did not
seek the honor thiff has been thrust upon him,
and all seem to cmiciir in the opinion that he
is an able, discreet and successful commander,
whose campaigns have been marked by almost
unexampled success. Shall he be sustained ?
Is it patriotic to Increase his embarrassments?
Is it not better to encourage his heart, and
to assure him that nothing will so elate the
hearts of the American people as his success
in putting down rebellion ? Ami can that he
patriotism which labors to beget a ditlerent
spirit iu the community?
It is not to l>e presumed that Burnside can
do In a week or a mouth what McClellan has
failed to accomplish iu more than a year, but
we ootiddentlj look to the inauguration of
movements that will tell for the loyal cause,
that will roll off the load of depression now
resting upon the public mind, and that will
cause the blood of the natiou to circulate with
increased activity. If such proves to lie the
result of the recent changes in the army, ail
should rejoice; if a different result follows,
instead of exulting, all loyal incu will feci sad.

Letter from Lewiston.
To the. Editors of Portland Press :
The Union Musical Association has just
closed its first session at Auburn, Me. The
Association were so fortunate as to secure the
services of Prof. B. F. Baker, of Boston, as
Teacher and Coqjluctor, together with those
of an efficient “home orch-stru,” under the di
lution of Mr. W. K. Em nger, of Auburn.
The exercises of the Association commenced
on Mouday eve, Nov. 3d, followed by a mis
cellaneous concert at Auburn, on the'evening i
of November 6th, and a finale concert at Cen
tral Hall, Low is ton, on the evening of Nov
7th. At these concerts the class was assisted
by Mrs. Little, of Boston, a lady whose artis
tic qualities as a singer are second to none,
perhaps, in New England. The musical prac
tice of the class was interspersed with short
lectures by Prof. Baker, given iu his peculiar
ly lucid, pleasing, and effective manner.
The practical study of the voice, in regard
to the formation, and healthful development
of tone, the practice of the various kinds of
church rutfec, with reference to infusing new
life, and giving more character and effective
ness to this important branch of public wor
ship, were prominent features in the exercises
of the Association. The music brought out
on this occasion was of the highest order. Of
the “Messiah" we need say nothing; it has
spoken for itself for the last century. The
“Tabernacle,” by Messrs. B. F. Baker, and IV.
O. Perkins, is a church music book of superi
or merits; a work of real tnusicai character,
variety, newness, and strength.
At a business meeting holden on Saturday,
Nov. 8th, the Association chose the following
officers for the coming year: Rev. A. C. Ad
ams, President, Auburn; F. Newell, Vice
President, Auburn ; D. F. Hodges, Secretary
and Treasurer, Lewiston. Executive Com
mittee, W. F. Fitch. T. Hersey, II. Crafts.
D. F. Hodges, Secretary.

Mu. Git.M VV: The following may be depen- |
ded on, and being the testimony of an eye- j
witness, and of an officer who did his duty to
the last, 1 send it to you for publication. J.N’.
To Prof Ferd. Suhlt, Portland, Me.
Oka it I’hof :—You ask me for details of tbe
ati’air at Harper's Ferry, and especially who
gave the order to evacuate Maryland Heights:
the key of the place.
It is shameful to relate; but it is not our
fault. Half way up Maryland Heights there
were two seventy-pound cannons which threw
tlie shells three miles, one rifled cannon of fif
ty pounds and four brass pieces. Upside these,
there were the 32d Ohio, a part of tlie 10th
Maryland, and some pickets ol cavalry. X Hast
was all.
The Keitels were encamped in Pleasant Vnl
ley behind us. From Maryland Heights we
could see tlieir camps and a train of nearly a
hundred wagons. There were about fifty
thousand of them. To defend this position
we could rely only upon the iulantry; the
woods, and espesially the bashes were too
thick. On ihe summit there is an observatory
called a “look out.” Three hundred paces
beyond, following the ridge, they had hastily
constructeda light breast-work from thotruuks
of small trees. Three miles further on, is Sol
omon’s Gap, which they had been allowed to
pass. What would have been more sim
ple than to occupy this Gap in force? Loudon
Heights also were unoccupied. Not even a pa
trol had been sent there. Evidently Col.
Miles in acting thus already, hud the intention
of surrendering, the place. From Pleasant
Valley the Kebels began to ascend, little by
little, every day gaining some ground, till at
last they reached tire top, alter three or four
days' skirmishing with the 33d Ohio uml some
other troops stationed there. Theu duriug
the night they ascended in force. During
these lour days, twenty thousand men, com
manded by Jackson in person, w ere making
forced marches by Martinsburg to surprise us
on that side ot Virginia facing Bolivar
ueigius. AS soon as n was miuwu uiui
the Rebels had passed Solomon’s Gap and
that the tight was about to commence
six companies of our Regiment, the 3Ulb
and 115th X. Y., were ordered out. You must
know that our fullest companies contain hut
35 men. In spite of this, our regiment, and
the 32d Ohio, were the only ones that could be
relied upon, all the others being recruits,
whom our under officers were drilling, their
own officers being incapable of doing it. At
this time I was sick. My name being on the
sick list. 1 had the privilege of remaining ill
camp, or even of going to the hospital if I
chose. The order came, I took my place at
the head of my company. \Ve started the
12th, at three and a half o’clock in the morn
ing, for tlie mountain. I thought I should
never reach the top. I dragged myself along.
We marched and countermarched all day in
the woods and brushwood, without meeting
tlie ene ny. We slept with the 32d Ohio, w ho
lia l supplied us to tin* best of their ability,
though tlie brave fellows had scarcely more
rations than we. On tin; 13th, in the morning,
alier having detailed several companies to ’he
different points which lie thought proper, Col.
Kurd, commanding Maryland Heights, assign
ed to our regiment the defense of tlie cannons;
lull as tlie enemy assembler! in force beyond
the “look out" it became necessary to detach
two companies to reinforce those who were
there. 1 do not know why tlie 3d and 4th
companies always enjoy tlie special privilege
of being sent to the most dangerous post. 1
feared 1 should never reach'the top; it was
very steep and rough. We passed tlie “look
out;" we pasted tlie breastwork, and at 20<>
paces we came upon a company of the 32d,
placed as a reserve. Sharpshooters were
placed in front of us. Diebrtch deploys the
first platoon, and I the second, and we wait the
enemy. From the place where we were, we,
distinctly beard the reliels calling "fall in! fall
in! forward, inarch!” etc., etc. very soon we
heard them beating the long roil, and ten min
utes afterwards the tiring began. We iiad be
f,ire us a company of tlie 3d Maryland, and a
company of recruits from X. Y. At tlie end
of two minutes the (Ire ceased, and we heard
that fierce veil which tlie rebels raise when
they charge. Immediately these two compa
nies break ranks, and rush towards us at tlie
top of their speeed, break our ranks, and drag
us witli thorn as far as (lie breast-work. There
the. whole of my company stop instinctively,
us also the Ohio boys: but the terrified re
cruits continue to run, not heeding the cries of
the officers to halt.
Tlie enemy seeing our exposed front, sud
denly stopped. Some trees and shrubs had
been thrown down before the breast-work
forming a kind of abattis, bard to pass but not
impracticable. We delay there a moment, dur
ing w hich time the Major, whose name I have
forgotten, gave me the order to go and rally
the fugitives. I ran a mile licfore reaching
them, and I drove them back with the blows
of my sabre. During this time we had re
e ived some reinforcement*, but the retielshad
received considerably more than we. Sudden
ly Lieut. Castillo of an Italian company cried
out to me: " AUa sinistra”—to the left!—I
understood that the rebels were turning our
left, and ran to inform Col. Sheriff of tlie 126th
X. Y.. who had taken the command. He com
manded me to go and see if there were any
men there. 1 ran down the only practicable
path, and at a little cross path 1 found fllteen
tnen oi me oza, commanueu uy a scigcam-—
“Is that all you have here, hoys?” “Yes,
Lieut., and it is time we should lie reinforced;
they are forming right in front of us.” And, j
indeed, looking through the trees, I saw them
forming. 1 brought the news, and they sent
a fresh company of the 12tith X. Y., who had
just arrived. Almost at the same moment,
tiring began, and Col. Sherill at my side re
ceived a ball in the chin, and lie is led away;
a Lieut.fell, his face became yellow as saffron;
another received a ball in the head, and he
stood fust: another in the leg which compelled
him to retire, and so on, while the firing last
ed. That of the rebels was quite good; but
ours! God of Abraham! Fancy a fire at will,
which almost resembled a continuous battal
ion fire, and that during two hours! They try
to come out of tlie woods to charge tlie breast
work, hut impossible! They fall like lies! Oc- ;
casionally their firing slackened, then tresh !
companies reach them and the ball* begin to
whistle thick and fast. Our firing did not j
slacken for an instant during those two mor- J
tal hours. Those who heard it from Balivar j
Heights (and among them were some officers ,
who had served in European wars) were amaz
ed. One moment our left was heavily pressed, j
but the Ohio boys and some of the Maryland- j
{ ers immediately righted it. At first, the re- ,
emits fired into tlie trees, and I made myself
actually house with shouts to them, to " fire
lotcr They corrected their fire, and did ad
mirably, the rest of tlie engagement. The tire
i of the rebels continued to slacken, and we con
sidered them beaten, when the order came to
“fallback.” Would you believe it! Xo, nor
would 1, nor any one else,—and so, instead of
; obeying, the officer was received in a strange
manner. Tlie “ go to h ... !’’ readied him,
more quickly than the balls. When he said
: that it was at the. command of Col. Ford, some
I one replied to him with one of those vulgar
j and energetic sentences, but at tlie same
time sublime in expressiveness, an eloquent
reply to the infamous falsehood which he told
before tiie Commission of inquiry, in saying
j that he had evacuated Maryland Heights be
cause hie regiment* would not .fight, it was
only when the order came for the second time,
declaring they were going to shell the woods
! that we withdrew slowly, without being fol
! lowed. The fact is, that we were animated by
! tlie conviction that we had beaten them, and
i were much more disposed to leap over the
nreasiwon lO CUarge upon mem, man iu an
back upon the guns,” according to the terms
of the order. In proof of this, instead of go
ing down to the cannons, we formed ourselves
in a body upon an undulating ground, about
half a mile on this side of the “ Look Out,”
resolved to hold it against all their forces.—
During this time, the shells rained into the
woods, and it is that, perhaps, which kept
them troui following 11s; for not one appeared,
although the artillery men fired at random,
without seeing whether the enemy was there.
After we left the breastwork not one shot was
tired, and it was there only that ice Jiretl. The
remainder of the troops had been deployed
over a great extent, hut they had not seen a
single rebel. There were more than enough
men to turn their right, and drive them be
yond Solomon’s Gap. What is more humiliat
ing is, that all the time we heard the cannon
ol Siget and McClellan, and we knew they
were coming to our help. I remained but live
minutes upon this undulation of ground,for iny
company had no more cartridges. The 3d al
so went down with us to the battery. The or
der then came to spike the cannon, and for
every body to withdraw from tht^Marylaud
Heights. Scarcely had we entereo Harper’s
Ferry than their corps of signals appeared on
Loudon Heights, communicating witli those
who were coining by Martinsbutg.
All the next day, Sunday, the enemy shelled
from Maryland Heights anil Loudon Heights.
Early Monday morning they began again,
while Jackson attacked us in trout. Their
shells did but little damage—they burst in the
air. No regiment of infantry was engaged on
Monday, the day of the surrender, which took
place at 8 o'clock in the morning. The night
before there had been a lively skirmish in
which the 32il Ohio lost two hundred men.—
The cannonading was very heavy Monday
morning. The ragged men who entered Har
per’s Ferry had the appearance ot a band of
brigands. One must not judge by appearan
ces. Their officers confessed having lost over
500 men, and I am inclined to believe it. They
treated us very well.

Letter from Boston.
Massachusetts Reijhnents—Gen. ltunks—Mrs.
Lincoln—Home Guard*—Military Juven
ile*—Opulent Military Hospital.
Boston, Nov. 13th. 1862.
To the Editors of the Daily Press: All
quiet along the Charles River. After the bril
liant but saddening parade and departure of
the 41st, 43d, 45th Regiments, last week, Bos
ton has settled down into comparative silence
again. The Cadet Regiment ami the Tigers
who have just left us for the vicissitudes of
camp life, were composed of the very best man
in the city and have carried with them the
good wisiies of all Eastern Massachusetts.
May they ail remember the advice given in
the legend written on the Flags which waved
over them as they marched on the ringing
pavement, “Now crush rebellion,” and may
they call to mind the vow's they took on the
Common, “we will crush it.” General Banks,
as you have already heard by the Dailies, was
the observed of all observers in the great pro
cession. He looks the general. His firmly
knit frame is as strong and as nervous as ever,
not nervous in the signification of the term as
applied by aged females, but nervous in the
sense of having firm muscle well supplied with
vitulforce. It is this nerccwhich causes every
one to place implicit confidence in Banks and
to give to him their unswerving support. Ilis
hair is becoming iron-gray and tills adds per
haps to his military appearance, which is
also greatly enhanced by his dark moustache.
May liis projected expedition in which so
many of our Maine soldiers are to take a part,
be attended by the success which has followed
every undertaking of this iron man where he
has been properly aided by the government.
Mrs. Lincoln was here last week and re
ceived at tlie Parker House a tine serenade.
Much credit is due to the projectors of the
enterprise for the charming taste with which
they selected, and the ability with which they
executed, the difficult airs. Mrs. L. was on a
visit to her sous in Cambridge.
To-day we have been having a parade of the
Horse Guard of Boston, consisting of the Lan
cers and Dragoons. They were preceded
through the principal streets by the Buglers
of the Boston Brass Band upon horseback,
ami they presented really a tine appearance.
Iu the afternoon they went through a series of
evolutions upou the Common, supposed to be
somewhat after the manner of a dashing caval
ry corps. But there were so many little ras
cally boys scattered over the parade ground,
that the officers were afraid to order anything
like a gallop, because it would have resulted
ir. tlie immediate annihilation of about forty
ol the smaller oucs. These mounted ineu
have two kinds of uniforms, one company be
ing dressed in a serviceable dark-colored suit;
the others are attired in gorgeous array. They
have large aud very showy white plumes nod
ding and waving from a brazen helmet, and
they all wear coats of scarlet and gold. To
gether with tlie immense crests and the puff/,
stuffed out coats,they seem like knights some at
mediueva) tournament .more than like horse
men of 1SB2. Owing to the exaggerated «lr«
of the men on account of the plumes and but
tons, the horses seem to be no larger than
Canadian pouies. Nothing shows the effect
of the war any more plainly than the attend
ance of spectators on the Common at such
times. Two years ago a parade of a good iu
1 fautry couipauy would have brought together
a very large concourse of interested lookers
1 on; to-day nothing smaller than a regiment at
j fracts much attention. We arc becoming a
j military people, and two years more will so
accustom us to war and tlie affairs of war.
! that every man will be a soldier and every
woman a self-appointed military nurse. It
i was only yesterday that I heard two very
i small newsbovs disputing al>out the rank of a
certain officer.
“I tell you he's a major," said one.
“No, Sir, he's a Lieutenant Colonel, because
he had a silver leaf on his shoulder strap, and
Majors only have a gold one,” retorted No. 2.
“Well, and that's just the reason,” said the
first, “gold is belter than silver, and a Lt. Col.
is higher than a major, so I reckon a gold leaf
isn’t a major's !r
The other was a little disconcerted by this
but soon said “well you just look in a copy of
‘Hardee’and you’ll see.” Are we not becom
ing a military people ? And speaking of sol
diers reminds me of a visit which I made yes
terday to the hospital for “invalided men,” in
Pemberton Square. Last year or year before,
we should have said “invalidnow we write |
“invalided,,’ which is the usual military term
for a sick or wounded soldier.
Richard N. Mason Esq. of this city, being
; about to leave for Kurope, gave to the govern
ment, tlte free use of his mansion during the
; war, to be used by them as a military hospital.
This generous man well understood that noth
i ing can be too good for an American soldier,
and acted according to this belief. The house
is one of the large buildings in an aristocratic
part of the city and has all the modern im
provements devised for the comfort of occu
pants. The high, well ventilated rooms are
used as wards of eight beds, and a convenient
! hospital is thus secured. The mirrors are
j still bung from the walls and give, with their
surroundings, an air of elegance which, of it
' self, aids not a little in the recovery of some
: desponding patients. There arc now fifty sol
diers accommodated in this house and there is
room for a dozen more. So much has a single
man done for the war; and let me again wrlfe
his honorable name that the loyalists of Maine
may not forget, it, R. N. Mason. All honor to
such a man. Moxits.
Rebel Opinion or Gen. McClellan.
The Mobile Register of Oct. 5 lias the lollow
ing estimate of the ability of Gen. McClellan
as a commander:
••It may not be improper to suggest here,
that the people of the Confederate States have
been led to under-estimate the abilities of Mc
Clellan. In my judgment, he is incomparably
the best officer in the Federal army, if not the
equal to any in the Confederate; and if he had
such troops as ours to command, the World
would not be long in finding him out. His
[ disasters are not justly attributable to his lack
: of generalship so much as to the character of
his troops. The manner in which lie conduct
i ed his retreat from Richmond, and bis conduct
| of allairs thus far in Maryland are enough to
I entitle him to be ranked with the ablest com
manders on either side. Officers tell me that
a close inspection of his position and works
before Richmond, and a thorough examina
tion of his movements from day to day after
the battle commenced, did not disclose one
i solitary mistake or blunder on his part. He
did the best that could be done at every point,
under the circumstances, and with the mate
rial he had around him. It is safer to give
the enemy credit for too much ability than too
i little.”__

~ It is said that a bl in India, answer

that class ol minds whiclTi oi>en to anything
that is monstrous andiarvelous, ready to
“gape and swallow,” liUtufledged robins, as
though the God-given rnlty of reason had
never been bestowed up the race. While
the bigot is unwilling t- prove ail things,”
this class of persons aready to receive all
things without proof, ai thus they become
the easy dupes of iinposin.
