Wool and suit, accompanied by tbe Mayor, members of the City Government, and perhaps fifty invit ed guests, made a visit of observation and in spection in the steamer Favorite, to the differ ent forta in the harbor. The I mat left her wharf at a little past fl o'clock, and went di rectly to Fort Preble, where Gen. Wool was met by Col. Green, of the 17th U. S. Infantry, and was received by a salute appropriate to his rank. The troops quartered at tlmt fort were drawn up in order,attended by their splen did military band, and were reviewed bv Gen. Wool, who seemed to be in his happiest ele ment, and to take a deep interest in their slo pes ranee, their soldierly qualifications, and their noble bearing. The Gen. then visited the works. He took especial pains to ins|>ect the Soldiers who are to be retained at that post. Fort Preble, it is well known, is an open fort, a mere earthwork, enclosing a small but beautifllt parade ground, and is valua ble now, in these days of improved gun nery, when shells do the work of death.mainly for its locationbut we are glad to learn that new and substantial lortlfieations are to take the place of the present arrangement, so that vessels approaching by the ship channel w ill be obliged, for a long distance, to approach in the very teeth of the heaviest guns. From Fort Preble the company proceeded to Fort Gorges, and a delightful sail It wni over the silvery waters, glistening in the rays of tbe bright vernal sun,—so delightful that we did not deeply regret that Gen. Wool had se lected the present season rather than the ver dant month of J une, for his official visit. Al most any place ap|>ear* beautiful when clothed with verdure and fragrant with flowers, but there are lew places of sufficient natural beau ty to present an attractive panorama to tbe stranger, in this northern latitude, in the cold and forbidding season of early March. But ou tbe preseut occasion, so attractive was the view presented from the deck of the little Fa vorite, that Gen. Woo) reluctantly yielded to tha prudential suggestion of a member of his staff to go below, out of the fresh breeze, to avoid its chilling effects after the faliguiug walk he must have taken at Fort Preble. At 10.46 o’clock tbe Gen. stepped upon the wharf at Fort Gorges, and leaning upon the arm of CapL Casey—the accomplished engi neer for the fortifications on this coast—pro ceeded to inspect tiie works so well begun at this point. One of the four magazines with which the fort is to be provided is now com pleted, as are also twenty eight casemates and embrasures belouglug to tbe lower tier. Eight gu ns are already mounted, of ten inch culUier, carrying solid shot ol 128 pounds, and these guns, elevated six degrees, will throw shot th ree miles. Their sweep lakes in sixty de grees ol the horizon, so that, were the whole twenty-eight guns now provided for mounted, t bey could all be brought to bear upon a sin gle point in the channel. We were surprised in the extent and stre ngth of this fortification. It is designed to lie one of the strongest on the coast, and even now a sufficient number of guns could be mounted to meet all ordinary demands, could they beobtained. Though every means is being used by the government to provide heavy guns for the fortifications, yet the demand vastly exceeds the supply. It is more difficult to make good guns of large size than most people are aware of, and a single fact may af ford convincing proof ol the justice of this prop osition. The lact is this: that of (wenfy-seren private companies that have contracted witli the government to make large guns, only thre0 have succeeded. Of these the Portland Com p any t* one. Tbe other successful companies are in Boston, aud in Providence, R. I. This fact shows one of tbe great needs of our gov ernment; that we should have a national foun dery to turn out sucli guns, gotten up upon a scale adequate to all reasonable emergencies. From Fort Gorge* the party next proceed ed to Fort Scauimel, where large preparations are being made to erect one of the strongest defenses ou the coast. Here as at Fort Pre Preble, are a few soldiers, and Gen. Wool iu apected them with military care. He directed the officer in charge to have them carefully drilled in artillery practice, and to make requi sition for suitable ammunition stores, which requisition he would cheerfully approve. Having finished his tour of inspection the General and his suit returned to the boat, where, by direction of the committee of the City Government an ample collation had been spread in the after cabin, prepared by that popular caterer, R. L. Robinson, in his best style. Gen. Wool and suit were seated at the right and left ol his Honor, the Mayor, who presided, snd after invocation of the Di vine Messing by Rev. Mr. Slebbius, the viands were discussed with a relish not in the least Impaired by the latigues of the tramp and the bracing aiinosphere. After the re|>ast the Hayor said he would propose the health of an illustrious zentletnan whose name and wln.se deeds were familiar to the American people.— Mu. Gen. John E. Wool. The sentiment was received will) applause that brought Gen. W. to his feet, lie said he came here on busi ness,n>t for pleasuie; to w >rk, ami n it tj re ceive honors. In all his life he had never met with a warmer reception than from the people of Portland, or one that would be more care fully cherished in his memory; and he accept ed it not as a personal compliment, but as an expression of loyalty to the government, and of determination to stand by its flag, to up hold its honor, and to submit to no peace baaed upon less than the subjugation of re bellion, and the unconditional triumph of the loyal government over all that may oppose it. Col. Howe made a few remarks which put every member of the company in the best ot good humor. Kev. Mr. Stebbins followed in his usual felicitous strain. lie was no parti san—he cared nothing about parlies or party schemes, but he did care for his country, and he knew of no way but to sustain it by sus taining those who represented it, and who were constitutionally elected to administer it. If by auy tneaus the people had made a mis take, and had placed any men in power who were not the best men that could be in pow er, Heaven knew it was not their flrst mistake of the kind. Enough such mistakes had been made in the past, one would think, for us to become used to them; but however this may be, he should know allegiance only to the gov ernment as adininittered by those whom the people had elected to perforin that very duty. The Mayor alluded to a very common im pressiou that the government was unwilling to do for Portland harbor as much as it is do ing for other places of no more, if not of less importance, and he begged to correct such an impression. He had the best reason to believe that Portland was receiving a large share of attention, and that nothing short of absolute impossibilities prevented the works ofstrength in our harbor from being carried forward with greater rapidity. On his visit to Wash ington at the suggestion of the city govern ment awhile ago, he found the Secretary of War and all others having authority in the premises, ready to approve and grant all that he asked for, and to do all that could be done. He would call upon Capt. Casey, the modest but accomplished engineer of our fortifica tions, to state what the plans of the govern ment were, which he wah entrusted to see carried out. PROPOSED HARBOR DEFENSES. Capt. Casey responded to the call of the Mayor, and the substance of his statements we are able to lay before our readers. Fort Gorges, when finished, will have about 106 guns, some of them of the largest capaci ty. It can now mount 28 in casemates. There will bo two tiers in casemates and one in bar bette. Fort Scammel is to have in addition to its present earthern parapet, three casemated bar- j tions, which will mount in casemates 01 guns 1 of the heaviest ordinance. The Fort when completed will mount at least 140 guns. Now Fort I’reble will be a casemated work of about 70 guns, nearly enclosing the present work, and the whole work with the batteries about it will mount something like 00 guns. Tli“ three forts when completed and mount ed with the ordinance now appropriated to such works, will be able to throw at a single discharge 50,000 pounds of iron. Of course these forts arc citadels, which will act as main bodies to the earthworks and advanced bar bette batteries that would be thrown np at the mouths and along the hanks ot the channels leading to the harlior, incase oi attack Irom a strong naval power. In the present state of the works, as they now exist, they arc amply provided with ordinance to defend us against a half-dozen Alabamas, should they attempt to come In here. 1 here is a sufficiency of granite on hand wliich ha? been prepared the past winter, together with which is beiug prepared at sev eral quarries in the State, to carry Fort (Jorges up to the top of the second tier. The same preparation of stone has been made at Fort Scatnmel.as well as large quantities of brick, sand and gravel, stored tip for use in the early spring, when large gaugs of men will be em ployed on both these works, the necessary ap propriation having been made for the next season's operations. For the forts at this, and othtr points in the State which the govern ment is protecting, some ten different quarries are engaged in furnishing stone. Capt. Casey alluded to the quite common apprehension of danger to the city from an enemy's vessels lying outside of Bangs’ Island, and throwing shells into the city—a fear par ticipated iu by many of our citizens. He did not apprehend danger from that source, forsev erai reasons. Among other reasons for laying aside all alarm in this regard, he would men tion that the range is too great; that sufficient elevation cannot be obtained, and that the accuracy ot tire at such long range and with such high elevation would not enable an at tack iug vessel to plant two consecutive shells within half a mile of each other. Besides, if vessles should be so close under the shore of Bangs’ Island as to be hidden from the guns of Fort Preble, the high lands upon the island itself would he a bar to their throwing shells into the harbor. The visit of Oen. Wool to this city was evi dently attended with much plearsure to him self, and we are quite sure it ha? afforded mnch pleasure and satisfaction to our citizens. It lias served to exhibit a unanimity and depth .of truly patriotic feeling—of unconditional loyalty to the governweut—most refreshing to contemplate. We were glad to see among the company that attended the Gen. to the forts, the Eng lish and French Consuls lor Ihi? poit, both o whom seemed to enjoy the occasion quite as much as if they had beeu bona fide Yankees to the manor Imru. The General and suit left by the 2.30 P. M. train on their return westward, whither the old hero goes bent only on serving his coun try, and upholding the honor of our common <l“g- __ _ The Finance Bill. The finance bill, which should not be con founded with the banking or currency bill,was reported to the National House of Represen tatives by the Committee of Ways and Means on the 8th of January. The purpose of the hankiug bill, which has now passed both branches of the national legislature, was to provide a national currency secured by United States stock*. Tile purpose of the tlnance bill is to provide ways and means for the support of the government. This bill, after receiving various modifica tions, passed the House of Representatives, 2tKh January, was rc|«orled to the Sena e the next day and referred to the Committee on Finance. Mr. Fessenden reported the act from that Committee, with important amend ments, on the 4th February, and on the 14th, having suffered some further changes, it went back to the House. The whole uumber of amendments proposed by the Senate was twenty-six, though the num ber of essential changes in the character of the act is of course much less. One of the most important is the reduction of the new issue of legal-tender notes from $300,000,000 to $160, 000,000, ineluding the $100,000,000 or dered in January for the payment of the army and navy. Another strikes obt the section authorizing the Secretary of the Treasury to deposit money obtained from loans or internal revenue insolvent banks, on the receipt of an equal amount of United States bonds or treasury notes, as security. A third strikes out the section making coupons on United States bonds or treasury notes receiv able for customs at maturity. A fourth makes the $400,000,000 of treasury notes authorized by the act, legal temfcr at their face value, ex cluding interest: the act, as it passed the House, making them exchangeable at will with the accrued interest lor legal tcuder notes. A Coiniumiltee of Conference ou these and other points of difference between the two houses, reported last Thursday. The lirst three amendments mentioned were adopted by the Committee; the fourth was adopted in addition to the original proposition, with which, as will be seen, it is not incompatible. On another feature of the act the Commit tee was unable to agree. The whole matter in dispute concerned the luxation of bank circulation. The bunkiug act provides for a semi-annual tax of one per cent, on the amount of circulating notes received by any banking association, tor the purpose of reim bursing the expense of printing &«. The Senate amendment to the finance act im posed a like tax upon ail outstanding bills issued as currency by banks or individuals af ter April I, 1885, and for tbe two years to come before that date, a tax ot one half per cent, semi-annually. The House, on the other hand, insisted upon a semi-annual tax of one percent, upon the excess of circulation beyond 90 per cent, of a. capital not over $100,900; 80 per ceut, of a capital ranging from $100,000 to $200,000; 7o per cent., from $200,000 to $300,000 ; 00 per cent., from $300,000 to $500, TWO; &c. Thus the question stood, the House asking another Committee of Conference. To this re quest the Senate acceded on Friday, and on Saturday the difference was finally compro mised in the Committee by imposing a semi annual tax of one per cent, upon the excess of circulation above described, and one-half per cent, semi-annually on all the rest, ft is fur ther provided, that the duty on the circulation of associations organized under the banking act shall be the same. A tax of ten per cent, per annum practically prohibits the issue of note* representing less than a dollar, as cur rency, by banks and individuals. Thus the policy of the Secretary of the Treasury grad ually wins its way; the government prepares to resume its constitutional function of “regu lating commerce among the several States,” by regulating the machinery of commerce, mon ey- _ _ Town Flections. The annual electiou for town officers took place yesterday in a large number of towns.— We give below such as we have received: GoRUAM.—III this town there was a pretty severe coutcst. The copperheads had been at work for some weeks, and some of them had boasted tiiat they should carry the town. Hut the republicans and friends of the Union were not to be caught napping. A large vote was thrown—the copperheads polling from 248 to 202, and the republicans from 301 to 318. The following Is the ticket elected: Col. H. I). Mc Lellan, Moderator; M. G. Hayden, Town Clerk: Joshua K. Hall, Benj. A. Watson, Geo. Chadbourne, Selectmen; Abiel W. Murch, Supt. School Committee; Samuel W. Lord, Treasurer; Rufus Mosher. Collector. Buxton.—In this town the ticket of last year, Union, was elected. Paris.—A special dispatch from Paris in forms us that the whole republican ticket was elected in that town by 130 majority. Westbrook.—In this town the Republicans made no effort to secure the election of their ticket, and the Democratic ticket was elected. Falmouth.—The Democrats, as we are in formed, carried this town by a small majority. Yarmouth.—The copperhead ticket was elected. Letter tram the State Capital. Aiui bta, Mar. 3, 1803. To the Editor* of the Prexe ; The following extract from a letter I have just received from one of the best officers in the Maine Cavalry, undoubtedly gives a true exhibit of the feeling ol the army. Tlie writer says: “A much better state of feeling exist* in the army than among the people of the North, if the newspapers tell the truth. Shame on these papers which are trying to discourage the earnest support of the War.— Thixfirc in the rear ie endangering ue far murk than the enemy iu front. If these cow ardly, sneaking poltroons, who would sacrifice their country's flag for party spirit, were in the ranks of the rebels, we would make short work of them.’’ Tlie Governor's Levee next Wednesday eve ning promises to lie a brilliant affair. Upwards of fifteen hundred invitations will lie extended, and it is expected that guests w ill be present from all parts of tlie Slate. Tlie rotunda of the State House is to be tastefully ornament ed, and will be used as the ball room for the occasion. JONATHAN. BY TELEGRAPH. --- LEGISLATURE OF MAINE. (SFKCIAL DISPATCH TO TU* DAILY fRKM. J Augusta, March 2. SENATE. Monday. Prayer by Rev. Mr. Ballou of Au guita. The Secretary announced the absence of the President, and the Senate proceeded to elect a President pro tern. On the 2d ballot Mr. Woods was elected, receiving 9 votes to ti for Mr. Bar rows. lie was conducted to the chair by Mr. Barrows, and made some brief but appropriate remarks. Papers from the House were disposed of in concurrence. Resolve authorizing the survey and lease of laud on the township owned by the Possaiua quoddy Indians, in the county of Washington, was once read aud ordered to be printed, on mo tion of Mr. W iggin.

Bill to incorporate the Army Agency Co. was read a second time aud indefinitely postponed in concurrence. Mr. Spring rose to a question of privilege, to reply to a card in the Argus of Thursday last. He alluded to the officers, explaine his previous remarks, and gave a history of this card—who got it up, and the motives actuating those who had made three successive attempts,—1st, iu the Argus—2d, iu the City Council of Port laud— aud 3*1, in this card. Mr. W iggin replied at length, and stigmatized Mr. Spring’s language as abusive, and meriting contempt. He said he did not know a single dis loyal man in Portland or the State. Mr. Spring nyoined, that the Senator’s state ment was simply laughable, and his speech was like all those of his party. They attack tneu and eover them with personal abuse, but will nut tol erate a reply, They assumed the air of injured innocence. He did not see how the Senator could stand up and say he did not know of any disloyal men, without himself laughing at its absurdity. Everybody knows it. There are “Golden Circles’’ all over the country. The whole drift of the Senator’s course had been po litical. The debate here took a political turn, and was pursued by Messrs. Roberts, Wiggin, and Spring, and was very spicy. Mr. Roberts drove the nails home into Wiggin and the whole cop perhead party. The debate was allowed to pro ceed by sutfeiance, there being no business be fore the Senate. It was cut off by a motion to adjourn. Adjourned. HOUSE. Prayer by Rev. Mr. limy.
