A CouPLiMEVT to Gen. Howard.—Bcv.
Mr. Cktrk, one of the Secretaries of llie Ameri
can Tract Society, Boston, yesterday aftsrnoou
presented the wants of the Society in the
means of providing reading for the soldiers*
to the 2d Pariah (Rev. Dr. Carruthers.) He
related many interesting circumstances of the
avidity with which the soldiers, both iu hospi
tal and camp, received the books aud tracts
furnished by the Society. In the course of
his remarks be psid a high and well deserved
compliment to our noble Gen. Howard. He
remarked that Gen. Howard was one of the
most active and efficient men iu the army iu
attending personally to the wan's, both physi
cal and mental, of hit soldiers; going among
them, witnessing for himself, and distributing !
personally hooka, Ac., to the soldiers. Such
conduct, remarked Mr. Clark, had endeared
Gen. H. to every soldier under bis command,
and there was no General in tliearmy so much
beloved by bis men as was Gen. Howard.
Railroad Obstructions.—Tbe steamship
Norwegian was not expected to sail for Liver
pool until this morning, having been detained by
tiie non-arrival of (he train from Cauada which
left Montreal at 7 o’clock Saturday morning,
and which was expected to arrived here early j
this morning, having left Island Fond at 7 F. •
M. yesterday. The track oil the railroad for :
miles and miles above Gorham, N. II., was
covered by water Friday, and it frore so hsrd
that large gangs of men were employed to ;
pick it out. The train which left here at one
o’clock Friday afternoon, with that which left
here at the saute hour on Saturday, did not
arrive at Island Pond until 5 o'clock Sunday
afternoon. Atone lime there were niue en
gines olT the track, so softd was the ice, but no
damage occurred. Nothing but manual labor
could remove tbe obstruction. Yesterday
there was a gang of 150 men employed between
North Stratford and Island Pond in clearing
the ice from the rails.
M. L. A. Debates.—The hall of the Mer
cantile Library was graced by a good audi
ence on Saturday evening last, to listen to the
debate. Previous to which a reading was
given by a member of the association of the
“Quaker Widow,” by Bayard Taylor, vide his
last new work, “The Poet’s Journal.”. The
question as to the expediency of reinstating
Gen. McClellan was then taken up and dis
cussed in a very able maimer by Messrs. Kim
ball and Fling in the affirmative and by Messrs.
Bailey and Beeves in the negative. The hour
being late and others having prepared them
selves to speak upon the question, it was laid
over for further discussion, when doubtless a
still more animated and interesting debate will
be had. Tbe ladies are attending these meet
ings,let us say for the benefit of those who are
not aware of the fact, and it Is hoped that still
more will honor the association with their
presence.
Brown’s Marine Views.—We calledafew
days ago to see two beautiful little pictures,
recently finished by Mr. Brown, and to be sent
this week to New York for exhibition at Gou
pii’s. These companion “marines” were paint
ed from careful studies made at ML Desert,
and in our opinion, they are among the best,
if they are not the very best, that Mr. Brown
has executed. We are glad they are going
where they may be compared with the pictures
of the best known marine painters, as we are
convinced that they will lose nothing in such
comparison. We hope we may hereafter find
leisure to notice Mr. Brown's works at length.
His studio, with the variety of scenes on sea
and land, is one of tbe pleasantest places we
have visited for many a day.
Insurance.—Attention is called to the ad- i
vertisement of Mr. Manger, of the Atlantic !
Mutual Insurance Company,New York. The
company has upwards of seven millions ot
dollars assets. A dividend of 40 per cent, has
been declared on the net earned premiums of
the company for the year 1802, for which cer
tificates will be Issued on and after the 7th of
April next. The profits of the company for
20 1-2 years amouut to upwards of fourteen
millions of dollars. Certificates Issned prior
to 1881, have been redeemed to the amount of
over ten millions of dollars. The profits of
last year amounted to 91,740,00U. The busi
ness of this company is confined to marine
risks.
Confirmation of a Soldier.—A detach
ment of the 17U» U. S. Infantry attended by
tbdlr fine band, came over yesterday from Fort
Preble, under command of Capt. Ludden, and
attended divine service at St. Luke's Churcli,
Bishop Burgess officiating. The rite of con
firmation was administered to a member of the
company, after which au appropriate address
on the history and nature of the rite, and the
support of religion in this time of war to the
Christian and especially to the soldier, was de
livered by the Bishop.
The appearance of the battalion and tlie
music of the band were both excellent. A
large number of citizens assembled near the
church to see them take up their line of march.
Fast Driving.—Saturday evening, when
Middle street was full of people, a couple of
sleighs were driven through the street at the
top of the speed of the horses. The drivers
were racing, and endangering the lives of those
persons who should attempt to cross the street.
Subsequently the police arrested one of the
drivers, who will be brought before the Muni
cipal Court.
Good Coffee.—We Invite attention to the
notice of Messrs. L. J. Hill A Co., respecting
the coffee and spices put up at their establish
ment. We have tried them and found them
to be of the purest and beat kinds. The
flavor of their coffee is peculiarly rich. Their
establishment is on Green street, near the
bridge.
A'Quiet Night.—There was not a person
taken to the Police office Friday evening. It
was the most quiet night the police have
known for some time.
Accident in Gobhau.—Thursday last a
young man named Watson, got entangled in
the engine at Hinkley’s tannery in Gorham,
and lost three lingers from his right hand.

Mr. Olin interrupted him, and said the state

Probable Recall of General McClellan.
The Canal at Vicksburg to be Enlarged.
Philadelphia, Feb. 7.
The Sunday Transcript has a dispatch from
Washington which says: There is no enemy
ill force at Fredericksburg. Most of the reliel
soldiers have been sent to the Blaekwaler or
to Vicksburg, Lite only force left behind heing
about 15,tlUU men, an ample number to prevent
the passage of the Kappahaunoek at the pre
sent season.
From deserter* and other sources, it has
been ascertained that the reliel railroad com
munication* are perfect. In seventy-two hours
the entire army of the South can be trans
ferred from any point in the South to Fred
ericksburg, so that they can well afford to
spare a great body ol their army from one
point.
During the past week the President deter
mined U|ion railing Lieu. McClellan to the
command of the army again. UpOO the an
nouncement being made Tn Cabinet counsel,
there was a great flurry. Secretary L'liase at
once threatened to resign, as did also tile rest
of the radical members of the Cabinet. For
this and other reasons the President determin
ed to iuaL>- no change at present. Within two
weeks, however, there is scarcely a doubt but
that the command of the army will bo tendered
to lieu. McClellan. The appointment of lieu.
Hooker to the command of the army is merely
temporary. It was made against the judg
ment of the President, and even of the Secre
tary of War. His soldierly bearing are un
doubted, hut his ability to handle such an im
mense body is seriously questioned by Ills
friends.
Nothing of importance is expected from
Vicksburg for at least thirty days. It will take
that time to complete the canal and to bring
our forces effectively to bear against the rebel
stronghold. It may be, however, that circum
stances may precipitate a battle, but the gen
eral impression is that it will require a mouth
at least to capture it.

Attack by the Montank on Fort McAllister.
Pint. A DELPHI A, Feb. 8.
The iron prize steamer Princess Koyal, in
charge of Acting Master Edward .Van Syer,
arrived off the avy Yard to-day. She brings
highly important intelligence, both as relates
to her capture and the rebel attack on our
blockading squadron at Charleston, showing
conclusively that there is no foundation lor
the assumption of the rebels that the blockade
of Charleston was ever raised by the depart
urc of tile United Stales fleet, ouly two ves
sels out of eight or ten having been disabled
or obliged to leave, it appears from an intelli
gent eye witness that the cause of this attack
of tile rebel rain on our squadron was owing
to the capture of the Princess Royal, the cap
tain and pilot of that vessel having escaped
ashore during the darkness of the night, and
communicated the intelligence to the enemy.
The Princess Royal eudeavored to run the
blockade by way of Beach Inlet, on the 29th
ult., but was discovered by pilot boat Blunt.
On a signal being given tho Unadilla pro
ceeded towards her, and raptured the prize
without other assistance. It was then diacov
ercil tnai luc captain aim pilot nan succeeded
in getting ashore hy a small boat, carrying
important dispathcs to the rebel government.
The Unadilla carried the Princess lioyal
to the side of the Housalonic, and laid there
until daylight, when the thunder of guns waa
heard, accompanied by sharp flashes of fire.
It was supposed that our fleet was engaged
in making an attack on the Alabama or Flori
da, or were endeavoring to force an entrance.
At daylight two iron-clads were seen coming
down from the direction of -Stouo Inlet to
wards our fleet. They attacked the Mercidita
first. One ram struck her on the water ridge,
keeling her over, and ut the same time firing
a shot, which entered oue of her boilers,
causing the death of three persons, including
a gunner, by shot and steam. The rain then
hailed the Mercidita, and Capt. Stillwager
lowered one of his small boats, after leaving
one of the plugs out, allowing the water to
enter it. The ram answered our hail by re
plying, “Confederate Kam Palmetto State;
do you surrender?” This was repeated three
times, Capt. Stillwager replying at each in
quiry, “I am in a sinking condition.” The
rebels answered, “G—d d—m you to h—II, if
you don't answer we will blow you out of the
water. Send your boat aboard.” The boat
which Capt. Stillwager lowered, then con
veyed his Lieutenant to the side of the rain
anil the officer asked to tie admitted on board.
The Lieutenant then repeated Capt. Still
wager’s statement that we were in a sinking
condition. The rebel officer replied, “You
can’t sink lower than the raili; we cannot
take you alioard.” The officer then gave his
parole as demanded, and returned to his ship,
The reliels were thus successfully deceived as
to the condition of the Mercidita, they think
ing she was in a sinking condition. She laid
in shoal water, and hence their reply.
Tlie ram then steamed towards the Keystone
State, and sent a shot through her steam
drum, causing the death of 21 persons, 12 by
the shot and U by being scalded by steam.—
('ilteen were wounded, and are lying at Port
loyal, some in a precarious condition. In the
meantime the gunboat Housalonic engaged
the other ram, driving her away. At half past
six in tbe morning both rams left the scene
and proceeded up to Charleston.
Uuriug tills attack on our fleet the Princess
lioyal, which laid near the Housatonic, and
was the chief object of prize on both sides,
succeeded in getting off, mainly through the
energy of third assistant engineer Thurston,
who piled into her fires all the inflamable ma
terial at hand. Her escape Is chiefly owing
In his endeavors, as well as her safe arrival at
this port. Notwithstanding the severe gale
w liich prevailed during her passage from Port
Koval, and although the coal was the anthra
cite, with which our navy is supplied, she
made ten knots an hour on her trip with ease
in the heaviest storm. Her usual rale is fifteen
knots.
Tbe Mercidita steamed down to Port Koyal,
escaping witli only one of her boilers injured.
She arrived salcly, and would be repaired in a
day.
The Keystone State was entirely disabled,
but was towed down to Port Koyal by the
Memphis.
The rebel statement that Federal fleet en
tirely disappeared from the Port of Charles
ton, is not sustained by facts.
The fleet consisted of the following vessels:
I'nadilla, Housatonic, Augusta, Quaker City,
Keystone State and Mercidita, besides pilot
lioats Klimt. Memphis and other vessels.—
During the daytime our blockading fleet are
not particular as to keeping to the station, and
on the day of this assault most of the vessels
sailed toward the Keystone State to ascertain
her condition, and whether she wanted any as
sistance. This may account for their apparent
absence at the time of the visit of the foreign
Consuls, as mentioned by rebel papers. Our
vessels, as usual, resumed their |Hwitions at
dark. The new Ironsides arrived the next
day to reinforce the blockade.
Information is also brought by the Princess
Koyal of an attack by the iron clad Montauk
on Fort McAllister on tile 28th ult. She was
not at all disabled. She received 17 shots in
her side and 12 on her turret without receiving
any injury whatever, although engaged for
five hours. She returned to her anchorage for
want of shells. It being foggy next morning
she did not return to the attack.

Death of Sib John Beverly Robinson
—Sir John Robinson, Bart., President of the
Court of Appeals and late Chief Justice of the
Queen's Beneli of Upper Canada, died at his
resilience in Toronto on Saturday, 81st ult.
He was a descendant of an old Virginia fami
ly, dating hack to the reign of Charles II. His
lather, Christopher Robinson, went to New
Brunswick in 1788, having served in the Brit
ish army during the Revolution and finding
Virginia no place for him at the close of the
war. In 1708 lie removed with his family to
Toronto (then York) and died there the same
year. His son, Joint Beverly, commenced the
study of law at sixteen, and In the war of 1812,
then tweuty-two, served agaiust the United
States as a lieutenant. He itad not yet been
called to the bar, but ilhinediately on his re
turn to Toronto received the Governor’s ap
pointment to the attorney generalship of the
Province. In 18*20 he was elected a member
of the Colonial Parliament, where he held and
defended the strictest Tory views. He was
re-elected in 1824, and again in 1828. The
next year, on the retirement of Sir Win. Camp
bell, Mr. Uobinson was raised to the office of
Chief Justice. The aupmaly by which the
Chief Justice occupied a seat in the Council
by virtue of his office was done away in 1841,
and with it passed away the bitterness of par
tizan feeling toward Mr. Robinson. A bar
onetcy was conferred upon him in 1854. Last
year he resigned his office as Chief Justice for
the Presidency of the Court of Appeals, his
last public charge. He died at the ripe age of
72 years.

A CARD.
PROF. HENRI DU COM begs to inform the stu
dents of the French language that for the present
all his time is engaged. He expects to be enabled to
receive a few more pupils at tho end of the present
term, March 1st.
The professor thanks most heartilv the community
for the large, intelligent, and refined patronage be
stowed upon him. tie knows that be owes in part
his success to the fact that he is. not only the sole
French teacher educated in l*s rts (France) but even
the only F'renchman teaching in Portland The re
markable proficiency in speaking French attained by
his pupils, must be reckoned also as one of its causes.
It is a difficult thing to teach properly a modern lan
guage; peculiar qualification- are necessary. The
French language, like all modern languages, goes
through perpetual transformations; heuee its rules,
cannot present that clearness and that precision of
dead languages, often difficulties t>ceur which gram
mar cannot solve: the professor is then guided, eith
er by the sound or the custom; this is one of the
-tumbling blocks of the American or Swiss teacher.
Again, the multiplicity of tho rub's of French syn
tax, offer no little perplexity. A good teacher ought
to kuow which rules he must use. which ones he
must reject; he will avoid thus confusing the mind
of his pupil Only the teacher of French birth and
education can make a judicious selection
Here is the key of the success of Prof. Ileuri Du
ron*. The pupil knows be has with him a safe guide
in all difficulties. What must be tin.* thoughts of a
student taking lessons of a teacher whose abilities he
doubts! Very likely those of a man employing two
or throe hours a week in throwing quarters into the
sea. tebS—dlw*
