The paper, of a certain kidney iu the lore]
State.—it may not do to intimate that they
hare secession sympathies—are making dole- ,
ful complaints about Brig. (ten. McNeil, Ire
cause of his “ murder,” a» they term it, of ten
innocent (!) citizens of Missouri. Their state
ment of the story is, that a Union man wa»
•opposed to have been abducted and maltreat
ed by the rebel troops, and, as an act of retali
ation, McNeil arrested ten peaceable citizens,
guilty of no odettce except that of secession
sympathy, marched them out into the open
field, ami then and there, requiring them to
knee I by the aide of their rough board coffin*,
•hot them down like dogs by a tile of Union
•oldiers. This is not ail; they are copying
from rebel correspondents of rebel sympathi
zing papers, various paragraphs of w hich the
following, from a 1st. Louis correspondent of
the Columbus Crisis, is a fair specimen :
The tnan for whom Gen. McNeil shot ten 1
some time ago, and which was noticed iu the
Crisis, has returned home alive and well, and j
his wife, before the execution of those men,
went to him (Gen. McNeil,) and pleaded with
him to wait and sec- if he had been killed be
fore he executed those men, and the brute
spurned her. I can write no more.
So it would seem that the ten innocent men l
were not only barbarously and wantonly inur- ,
dered—rebel authority being admitted—hut
the matt to avenge whose abduction their lives
were ostensibly sacrificed, was not abducted
„ii i.„, i—, ,i i,--1 —ii
his wife, having probably been on a bit of a !
spree. The New York World—the World since
Its fall; since it exchanged “ the livery of
heaven" to become a liveried servant of Fer
nando Wood—in copying the above St. Louis i
paragraph, says, “ As yet the Government has
made no sign as to w hat it wilt do in the case
of Geu. McNeil,*’ and then adds:
The return of the missing inau alive and
well really adds to nor takes from the atrocity
of the murder of the ten men, but it brings the
matter home to tile dullest and most prejudic
ed comprehension.
Such are the modes of attack upon federal
authority, and such the artful and infamous
means used to breed disconteut in the minds
of the people, and to make them believe that
the government is becoming despotic, ami
that personal freedom is uo lougcr protected
by the Constitution of the land. What are
tile tacts ? They are, hr icily stated, as follows: 1
Western Missouri wa* overrun by bushwhack
ers or guerillas—literally border ruffians—
wbo, from behind trees and feuces, and under
cover of night, were accustomed to murder
and robUniou citizens, to barn their dwellings,
to drive helpless woiueu and cbildreu from the
tmoulderiug ruins of what had beeu their
homes, and to practice enormities at the recit
al of which demons would blush. These fel
lows were perfect outlaws, respecting the laws
neither of man nor God, and entitled to no
lenity, uo consideration, no mercy. It was
with reference to such marauders, that a lead
Ing democrat of Lincoln county, remarked to
at more than eight months since, that they
Should be declared outlaws by the government
anil that the Union men of the State of Mis
souri should lie “let liaise upon them,” to use
his own wonts, and allowed to “slaughter them
and rid the State of their vile presence.” The
geutlcinan referred too has a son in that re- -
gion of tile country, whom he had hut recent
ly visited, and he sjakc as be felt after person
aily becoDiiug acquainted with the outrages
perpetrated upon Union loving citizens, and
the character of the disreputable and God-for
aaken authors of those outrages.
It was against such vile hordes as these,
that an order was issued, notifying them that
when taken they would be summarily dealt with,
and that neither mercy nor quarter would be
civilized warfare, not organized under military
law, not belonging to any regular rebel regi
ments, they were noteutitled to the usages of
prisoners of war when taken, and they would
therefore be treated simply as robbers and
outlawed murderers. When Gen. Halleek
proclaimed such as the rule by which they
would be disposed of, the rebel government
immediately threatened to avenge the deaths
of such by taking the lives ef Union pris
oners in their hands, thus virtually sanctioning
the outrages to which peaceable citizens of
Missouri were and long had been exposed.
Fearing the consequences of its severeenforce
ment would be visited in lilood upon unoffen
ding Union prisoner*, the rule was uioditled in
practice, 'and when guerillas or bushwhack
ers were taken in their law less sets they were
paroled. As time advanced a lot of these cut
throats were arrested in the midst of tbeh
Work, who proved to be men who had been
paroled, aud were violating their sacred pledge
of honor. Meantime Gen. McNeil.as a measure
ol protection to Uuinn men, published au or
der that for every act of violence visited upon
peaceable, unoffending.non-combatants of the
Union citizens, lie would visit equal violence
upon ten of the rebels.
It was not long before a Union man was
missed, and the facts aud best evidence Weut
to show that he had been foully dealt with if
not murdered by tbe rebels. Gem McNeil
gave notice that on a given day, if the missing
man was not returned unharmed, lie would
visit the penalty of his abduction and murder
upon the rebels In the manner indicated by
his general order. Accordingly he selected,
not ten innocent persons; not ten peaceable
citizens; nut ten unoffending individuals guilty
of no offence save secessMu-sympaliiy, but ten
of the obdurate, hardened! blood-stained vil
lains referred to, who had violated their parole,
and to whom no clemency was due, and upon
aueft miscreants he visited the horrors of a mil
itary execution. They were liuble to execu
tion under Gen. Qalleek’s order, as gueriltas,
and they were doubly guilty for violating their
parole.—and not so much their execution as
tlie particular time of its infliction was deter
mined by the supposed violence to the Union
Citizen. But the New York World, aud pa
pers which accord with it, do not believe re
bellion works a lbrleiture of any rights under
the Constitution, and therefore,no matter what
the character of the wretches, how great and
how numerous their crimes, or how' great or
how severe the indignities inflicted by them
upou Union men, defenceless women and in
nocent children, their violent death, ordered
by a loyal soldier and inflicted by loyal sol
diers, should be duly atoned fir by the gov
ernment, and those who caused their deaths
should be duly punished. To show how the
Union people of Western Missouri look upon
Gen. McNeil, vve quote the following from the
St. Joseph llerald of Nov. 25:
Our dispatches slate that Jeff. Davis has
made a demand on this Government lor Gen.
McNeil, aud that if he is not given up, ten of
our officers are to lie shot. This will please
Major Bruce and n liels of that kidney. We
wi-li «.■ had a thousand McNeils in the land.
If Jell'. Davis vi Blies to shoot ten Federal of
ficers, let him begin the w ork.
Guerillas are sent into lhi» Stale to shoot
Union men in the back as they pass aloug the
highways, attending to their business. Gen.

pat hi re with Jelf. 1 till 1* in hi* atlempUto pre
vent the punishmeut of guerilla*.
The Louisville Journal, with reference to 1
this *» ■ !• ease, and the alleged demand of Jeff.
Davis lor the giving up to his leader mercies j
of (sen. McNeil, says:
Let tiie President of the rebel confederacy
consider what hi* people hove done It ia all
affectation, it i* hypocrisy, in him to pretend
U> regard with horror the shooting of the ten
Missouri citizen*, lie knows that Kirby Smith
hung fifteen innocent persons nearCumlierlui.d ;
Gap, and tumbled their bodies in a hole, not j
even a-siguing a reason for the awful deed.— 1
lie knows that seven Federal prisoners w ere t
recently shot or hung hi Louisiana, upon no
other pretext than that they had enlisted in
tile United States service in New Orleans. He
knows that his men butchered Gen. McCook
under circumstances that made the blood of
the nation run cold. He knows that his guer
rillas in Kentucky, Mi-souri and Tennessee, all
bearing regular commissions in his confedera
cy, have been in the regular habit of riding up ^
to citizens' houses, tailing them to their doors,
and shooting them down, or taking them out
and hanging them to the first trees, or cutting
their throats in their beds by the sides of their
w i—ping wives, in the midst of their sleeping
children.
Fike in Cape Elizabeth.—Between five
and six o'clock yesterday morning a fire broke
out in the dwelling house of Mr. J. W. Burke
on the Cape Elizabeth side, near the Portland
bridge, which consumed the house, barn and
and a shed. The other houses in that vicinity
were hi greut danger, and the barn of Mr. J.
C. Bradford had caught lire, but the flames
were arrested by Ocean Engine Co., No. 4, of
this city, which promptly repaired to the scene
as soon as uotilied of the tire by Mr. Seavey,
who rode over to the city for that purpose.
aiic iui inline in me mwer pun ui .ur. diiim; s
house was saved. Ho had insurance on the
house for $1,000, aud $100 each on his furni
ture and barn. The lire is supposed to have
caught from a defect in the chimney. Mr.
Burke arose very early aud kindled a lire un
der the boiler and went to bed again. He
was aroused by the smoke aud flames, and
found the upper part of the house on Are.
Great credit is due to Mr. Seavey for his
efforts in getting an engine to go over from
the city, and equal credit is due to the mem
bers of So. 4, for the alacrity witli which tliey
started their machine, and their successful
efforts to stay the progress of the tire.
Good for DoDoe.—We are pleased to an
nounce that to gratify many of his old friends
who were unable to make a beginning towards
getting in to his last Concert here, O-sian E.
Dodge will give one more Concert at Lancas

It should be. Dodge never ought to leave
Portland without giving at least two concert*. .
aud we think he would And it profitable to give
eveu more, for we never remember the time
when Dodge couldn't draw a hall full any
where. Mr. Win. Hayward, who accompanies
Mr. Dodge, Is a great favorite, and in pieces
he siugs is probably without an equal in the
world. The [ rogramme offered is new and
rich, running over w ith choice and tempting
morceau», among which we notice “The Dy

“ The Thanksgiving Dinner.” There w ill lie

The Argus refers with hands uplifted
iu holy horror, to men belonging to the repub
lican party w ho have manifested proclivities
for putting their hands too deeply into tile pub
lic treasury. With the many thousands who
have left the old democratic party to join the
strongest side, it would be singular if there
were not some scaly fellows. The republican
party has suffered full enough from such ac
cessions, ami for this reason we sincerely
trust that the Argus gentlemen will adhere
firmly to their own party. The republicans
ask for no reiutorceineuts from justly suspect
ed persons.
Fine ix Yarmouth.—Very early last Fri
day morning, u building in Yarmouth, just
above tile depot, owned by Mrs. Richmond L.
Cutter, and occupied in the chambers by Mrs.
Doyle, the lower floor lieitig used as a store,
was destroyed by tire. Two small simps, one
each side of the above mentioned building,
were also destroyed. A young matt named
Johnson had Ills leg broken at the fire. From
all circumstances it is supposed that the tire
was the work of an Incendiary.
Scddex Death.—Brian Rooney, who, un
til the attachment of steam power to the
presses in this city, was engaged in turning
the wheel, stepped into a shop on Fore street
Sunday night, seated hitnself upon a barrel
and began to converse. In a few minutes he
dropped down dead. Rooney has been of very
intemperate habits, and his life was thus sud
denly brought to an end. Coroner Hall was
called upon to investigate the matter, but he
deemed it unnecessary to hold an inquest

From the 25th Maine Regiment.—We
are obliged to select the following items of
news from the letter of our correspondent X,
not having room lor his entire communication
Tlie regiment on Saturday last was encamped
on Arlington Heights, Va. Lieut. Merrill of
Co. E has resigned. The sanitary condition
of the regiment is in general very good. Since
leaving Camp Lincoln privates Higgins of Co.
K, Libby ot Co. B, and Kimball of Co. F have
died. Kimball was buried near their present
encampment; the other bodies were embalmed
and sent lioine. The 25th “love and respect
Col. Eesseuden to a in-ii.” Thanksgiving day
was celebrated with all the honors.
The Press not long since asserted that
Geii. Cass sustains the emancipation proc
lamation, but Gen. Cass says lie does not, a
tact which the Press has not communicated to
its readers, we believe. Gen. L)ix, only a few
weeks since, avowed himself a Democrat as of
old. and peremptorily refused to allow aboli
tionists to use his mime as candidate lor gov
ernor of Xew York.—| Angus.
The Argus probably does not admit that n
sin of omission, or a lie by implication is
equally inexcusable with sins of a more posi
tive character; at least, we judge so from the
above. Gen. Cass lias not said that “he does
not sustain” “the emancipation proclamntion.’’ j
II has said that lie found no authority lor it in
the constitution, but tie- necessities of the war
demand it, and lie would sustaiu it on the
ground of necessity. This is the substance of
his remarks as given hv a reputable western
editor, formerly of Xew England, whose name
we do not have before us, but who gave the
reply of Mr. Cass to a question lie put to him
personally touching the very matter. In re
lation to Gen. Dix, the Argus—purposely we
dare say—suppresses this important fact that
he refused to have his name used by “conxerr- 1
aitce republicans,’’ against Mr. Wadsworth, j
whom the Argus and all its tribe have de
nounced as a radical abolitionist. The Argus,
with alt its effrontery, dare not deny that Gen. j
Dix sustains the proclamation.
rr-in another column will lx* found an ad
vertisement of Mr. Bradi*h, who, after an al>
fM'iice ot twenty-five years, has returned to hU !
native city and re-opened his old business. !
Mr. B. is a gentleman of established reputation,
and we welcome all such to the society of our
Portland people. In leaving Easlport, where
Mr. Bradish lias for many years carried on
business, Ilic Sentinel of that town took the
following handsome notice of him:
With regret we learn that Mr. Martin Briid
isli lias disposed of his interest in the bakery
business here, and will immediately take up j
his residence in Portland. Mr. Bradish lias
been a resident of this town for the past twen
ty years, and during that time has established
lor himself the reputation of being an indus
trious. energetic, and honorable man. His
sympathy and influence have always beer
earnestly enlisted In behalf of good order und
good morals. We think lie has no reason to
complain of Hie success which lias attended
him in his business affairs. May prosperity
and happiness continue with him in the future
us they have so pre-eminently in the past.
S3T* The Argus asks us to write an arti
cle upon the “respectability of thieving.” The
party to which that paper belongs lias done so
much thimble-rigging, that we do not wonder
at its desire to liuve the light-finger science
made respectable. If great names give res
pectability, we should think those of Floyd &
Co. would be sufficient to Immortalize the
leading trait of modern democratic poiliticians.
Tile Manchester (N. II.) American

feat the plan of his superior, because it docs

Two Battles in Arkansas.
Sr. Lot ts, Dec. 7.
Advices from tlie South west -ay tile enemy,
25,000 strong, under Gens. Hindman and Mar
madtike, attempted to force Gen. Blunt's posi
tion at tune Hill, Arkansas, but were driven
back. This morning they drove Gen. Blunt's
pick* t- ..mile*, but on the arrival of rein

cover their retreat, as they were felling timber
all night, probably to obstruct the roads and
prevent pursuit. Blunt field the enemy in
check liiur days. Gem Herron's force will re
inforce him to-morrow.
