SMITH, Portland, Chairman. LUKE BROWN, Bridgton, | _ . WILLIAM SMALL, Raymond, Culo» HORATIO H1GHT, Scarboro*. I County NATHANIKL DYfeR, Pownai, SAMUEL OAKLAND, Windhim, Committee. Portland, July SMth, J605.—dtd THE WATER QUESTION. The Advertiser of Tuesday had over a column on this subject, in which the Press and its ed itor came in for a foil share of attention. Mr. Smith—for he is no doubt the writer—dis claims all responsibility for Mr. Speed's prop osition to supply the city, and thicks the stockholders of the Water Power Company will object to his proposition as unjust to their interests. We have, still, a strong suspicion that, for all pracieal purposes, Col. Speed, the editor ol the Advertiser, P. O. J. Smith, and the Stock holders of the Water Power Co., are all one— one person—but this is a question of very lit tle importance anyway. As we have before intimated, if either or all of them, or anybody else, will propose a feasible scheme for famish ing the city with pure water, we insist it should be met, considered, canvassed and treat ed according to its merits. It is the water we want, and it is of very small consequence to the consumer or to the city who supplies it, provided it be supplied, is of good quality, in sufficient quantity, and at a cost that is not un reasonable. If iilr. Smith will do this, whatever views we may have expressed in relation to him, however we may have regarded his motives, or whatever the feelings of the public in rela tion to him in other matters, he will deserve well ot posterity for at least one deed of pub lic spirit, and will cause his name to be re membered with gratitude by thousands and hundreds of thousands who otherwise might be numbered among the great multitudes of the unwashed. The editor of the Advertiser mistakes in speaking of us as “a representative in the City Council.” We enjoy no such honor. Last year, while holding a Beat In that bod*. In anna ——Jjuth we offered an order which was passed, ,— '.oft ■ii<nn;-at‘mHBl siieh examinations, surveys and estimates might be made of the different plans proposed for sup plying the city, that an intelligible repot t could be made to the City Government and through it to the citizens, which report would afford a safe basis for action, if not during the inflation of prices caused by the war, at least as soon as the war should close and prices of currency, labor and material should come back to their normal peace standard. For some rea son the committee appointed to act under the order referred to, did not have a meeting till the season was too far advanced to attend to such work, and the whole thing, much to our regret, and we doubt not the regret of the cit izens generally, was allowed to slumber with out results. We are glad to see the question again being agitated, and we shall be found throwing no obstructions in the way of any earnest, feas ible, sensible plan submitted In good faith, no matter who submits it, or who is to have the credit of it, or who expects to profit by it. The Water Power Company of which Col. Speed is President, and for which Mr. Smith is understood to supply the funds, have projected a great work at the very doors of our city;_a work which, if completed, will afford facilities for Portland, to increase in business prosper ity, such as no city in New England enjoys. We know nothing of the enterprise from per sonal knowledge or inspection, have never been on the ground, but we are informed by some of our best citizens, men opposed to Mr. Smith in almost everything else, that it is a work that should have the hearty God-speed of every public-spirited citizen. We trust this enterprise may be pushed ahead to a successful consummation; that no lack of funds will be allowed to retard it We are in formed that the present operators alone will spend a quarter of a million or more, thus af fording the most substantial evidence of their confidence in its feasibility and ultimate suc cess. May they not be disappointed. COPPERHEAD VIEW OF PROVIDENCE. , Mr- Mlsbury, President erf the late Demo cratic Convention, was understood to enunci ate the doctrine, somewhat indirectly though none the less emphatically, that negro suffrage ssogreatasin against God and Humanity, that Providence interposed to prevent its real ization. It was necessary to have a man at the head of affairs who would stop this iniqui ty, and so Providence used Booth for the pur pose of “taking off’ Mr. Lincoln, that the right man might be brought into power. Here is the way Mr. Pillsbury put the statement, as reported in the Aryua: But for one man that policy [negro suffrage! would have been already adopted and foisted uprm the people. That man is the President (Gmlt 4 ,ted Stato3i Andrew Johnson.— ig^rtApplause.) Elected to the Vice Presi 7» y ** *» Republican party, and by the Chief S*! **T0'AAence succeeding to the the prntv efef, the n8tion at a ^ when the triumphMUueSL with vict?ry and clamorous for thdr-ww policy, was perpetuate its pow^r^S* cy calculated to the integrity, firmnei here to the principles ofcanm!*1" to aJ_ against all the adverse i.,fl,®“l??^|tl°nal right, circumstances surrounding him , .Peculiar saved the country from the evil’ —~ has thus of such a policy. conse^ueucefi If the assasin hand was directed by pro deDce in order to secure a defeat of negro suf fiage, we should like to know why the Demo cratic Convention, rejoicing as it piously did in such defeat, should denounce and “reprobate’ the act as one of “unmitigated barbarism de structive of civil government,” especially when the knife thus guided by Providence was held by a Democrat, and the deed was done in the interest of States pronounced Democratic by the chosen speakers and mouth-pieces of that came convention. “LEADING THE NATIONS.” The New York Evening Post notes three important events which, occurring recently in different quarters of the globe, are each di rectly traceable to the Influence of event* In this country, and of the position now taken by the United States on questions relating to man freedom. The first of these effects is be found in the fact that a socie jr , as lately been formed in Spa1” *or 1 ie a 10n of slavery in the colon!* °f that kingdom. The sooiety Is comp***1 of the foremost men in the nation, a»«1 incluJe3 ™t‘isters of the crown, diplomat'*’ grandees of thfe kingdom, I representative8 and priests, as well as the lead ing ache*18 of sPain- Although it is declared that. *»r the l,re4euti the intention of tire min I iitry is merely to put a stop finally and entire I ly, to the slave trade, yet that 13 a step, and an Important one, in the right direction, which the Spanish abolition society will follow up energetically. Secondly, we have the tact that the King of Portugal, when recently closing the meeting of the Cortes or legislature, announced, (for the next session, as we understand the brief dispatch,) “a strict law for the final abolition of slavery in the Portuguese possessions.” Finally, in Brazil, the movement for the ex tirpation of slavery, which has enlisted the best men of that empire for several years, is gathering such strength that a bill has been drafted and sent to the Brazilian legislature, providing in many way* for the amelioration of the present system of slavery in that coun try, and for its final extinction in fifteen years.1 This bill has not passed, but anstlier, prohibit ing the holding of slaves by foreigners, is like ly to pass,aud Brazilian statesmen are laboring lor the extirpation of slavery, encouraged by the constant growth of public eentiment in their favor, and especially by the remarkable effect which emancipation m the United States has had upon opinion in Brazil. In conclusion the Post says: These movements for the liberation of four miUioas of men are a direct consequence of the jKisition of our own country upon eman cipation. Our victory bears fruit the world over. So long as slavery was countenanced here by a dominant party, so long as it seemed to prosper and grow stronger with us, its sup porters all over the world maintained their ground. When our slaveholders set up their confederacy, with slavery as its openly an nounced “corner stone,” the lovers and sup porters of slavery elsewhere began to please themselves with the thought that a reaction had set in, in favor of their system. If the Southern Confederacy had been victorious over the Union, that victory would have riv eted the chains of slavery In Brazil, In the West Indies, in every pait of the world.— But our success is followed at once by renewed and promising efforts for the extirpation of this great wrong and evil, by the leading men of the three nations which still tolerate it We see in this result of our great victory some of the responsibilities which lie upon the American people, and which are greater now, precisely as our prodigious display of strength and endurance, our fidelity to the cause of law and order, and our success so un expected to the world, have given us greater prominence in the minds of the people of Christendom. Our history has boon, for many years, the hope and pride of the friends of lib erty in Europe; but, hereafter we shall be more than ever looked to; our policy aud con duct will be of such moment that it is no ex aggeration to say, the advance of civilization depends upon us. If we are true to liberty, if we are wise and faithful servants of the great idea which underlies our constitution and government, the idea of the equality of ail men before the law, and the equal right of all men to life, liberty aud the pursuit of happi ness, then our progress will show the way to the nations, and they will follow—and cannot help but follow in our footsteps. If, on the contrary, we should become the prey to fac tions and prejudices, if we should misuse our strength and show ourselves regardless of right, every step of our history will be held up, to the world to warn the nations against de mocracy. * * * * * We are the hope of the nations—to us the down-trodden, the poor, the victims of despot ism everywhere, look for hope, for encourage ment, for example, for ligh t in the path in which they slowly and painfully follow; we are their compass, their pole-star, their guide. Let us look to it that the solemn trust thus confided by Providence to the American peo X»le is not abused. CUMBERLAND OOTtKr'Jt*:---*"’ —i Convention of this Association was held , isimt**. OH loin inst. rnemee tings day and evening were unusu ally large and enthusiastic. A new and signi ficant feature of the Convention was the pres ence of a delegation from the York County Temperance Association, an orgagization re cently formed witli much promise of success. The forenoon meeting opened with prayer by Rev. Mr. Wiswell, of Windham. Messrs. Stackpolc, Walton and Dow addressed the au dience with happy effect, the latter gentleman dwelling largely upon the sad influence of the bad examples of respectable people. At the commencement of the afternoon meeting the following resolutions were pre sented by a committee previously appointed: 1. Retailed, That wc rc-aflirm our entire feltli in the doctrine of Prohibition as equally sound in theo ry and beneficent in practice. 2. Resolvfd, That to declare the Maine Law a fail pud^SST orlSS gr°“ !gnorance- or unblushing im S. ficso/ced. That the recent declaration or Leon ard Bacon of New Haven, before the National Con grogational Convention, that tltc cauBe of Temper ance has been wrecked on the Maine Law, and his more recent fhlminatious in the same direction in the Independent newspaper, arc wholly untrue In feet. aDd singularly felhu ious in reasoning; that while his course in this respect is eminently characteristic of the man as viewed in the light or his past history it is especially unworthy of his profession as a minister of tho everlasting Gospel. 4. Revived, That to entrust the prosecution of the Maine Law to the hands of its avowed enemies, were alike an act of stupidity and treachery to the cause or Temperance. These resolutions were extensively discuss ed by Gen. Dow, W. H. Vinton, J. O. Win ship, Dr. Parsons, J. T. Walton, S. M. Baker, and C. A. Stackpole. It seemed to be the unanimous sentiment of the speakers, heartily responded to by the audience, that although we had heretofore, for the sake of the country, held in abeyance at the polls, our Temperance sentiments, now that the country is safe, we must not, we wiU not, as Temperance men, vote for any man for an office to which the prosecution of the Maine Law with others -is entrusted, by whatever party nominated, un less be be beyond all doubt, sound on the prin ciple of prohibition. The resolutions were unanimously adopted. A vote was taken, and carried, to adjoum this convention to meet at Gray, Tuesday, the 22d inst., there to consider our duties as Temper ance men. Tbb evening session was highly interesting and enthusiastic. Speeches wore made by J. O.Winship, of Gorham, Hon. T. L. Smith, of Windham, Mr. McArthur, of Limington, O. S. Beale, Rev. Mr. Wiswell, F. G. Rich, Mr. Thorndike, of Limington, and C. A. Stackpole all confirmatory of the action taken on the resolutions, and determined and hopeful, in regard to temperance measures generally. A committee to effect a local organization in Windham was raised, consisting of Chas. Nichols, Wm. Gould, Samuel Garland, B. H. H^l aud Jtev.

This regiment left Portland for Louisiana, Feb. 8th, 1864, entering immediately upon the disastrous Red River campaign, engaging in battle with the enemy for the first time, just sixty days after leaving the State. During the year 1864, the regiment marched over one thousand miles, exclusive of all raids and tem porary movements, taking part also in every engagement of the troops under Banks. Have taken passage by ocean steamers four times, viz:—Portland to New Orleans—from New Or leans to Bermuda Hundred, Va., from Bermu da Hundred to Washington, and from Alexan dria to Savannah, Ga. Have served under Maj. Gens. Banks, Franklin, Butler, Sheridan, Hancock and Gilmore. Left Portland with 1,00-1 souls. Killed in battle, 23; wounded 125; —missing in action, 78. Died of disease, 211. Not over 400 of the original members of the organization return to the State. The bullet, disease and desertion have the remainder. In battle the regiment has never wavered. Three of its field officers have been severely wound ed. Our first Colonel, the brave and beloved Frank Fessenden, lost his leg in ^front of our 1 charging line at Cane River. Lt. Col. Whit man received a shot in the body at Sabine Cross Roads, whilst Major Randall was pierced through the shoulder at Pleasant Hill. It is worthy of note that these officers were wound ed in front of the line of battle. Said the gal lant Major Randall, upon the Surgeon’s re OLiiesting him to leave the field, “Does it bleed much, Doctor ?—tie a rag around it. I guess I’ll stick to it, now,” and so continued with his command until the close of the action, veterans with our own regiment, together with recruits from depot we have borne upon our rolls since our organization, 1,414 names. Of these 170 men have been discharged for disa ability, etc., and 70 deserted, making with the above list of deaths by battle and disease (234) —a loss of 677. Though tom and ragged fly our battle flags, —though shattered and splintered by bullets the stalls which bear them, yet am I proud to say that we restore them to the State untar nished and unsullied in honor. For sobriety and intelligence the regiment has received fre quent encomiums. Under the care and teach ings of our noble colonels—Francis Fessenden and Thomas H. Hubbard, how could we abate in discipline or lose in morals ? With unfeign ed pleasure does this regiment learn of the “star” bestowed by the Government upon our late CoL Hubbard,—and when I say God bless him, I but utter a wish reiterated in the hearts of eveiy one of his late command. Cumberland. HONEST IAGO SPEAKS. We cut the following from the Argus of Monday morning: “Gov. Bramlette, Senator Guthrie, Geo. D. i renttce anJ others ot that stamp, thoroughly conservative men, were in favor of the aboli tion of slavery in Kentucky, but It would seem that the shameless course pursued by the mil itary authorities and a set of radical fanatics have defeated the measure, just as the pestifer ous influence of abolitionists many years ago defeated gradual emancipation in that state under the leadership of Henry Cloy.” Who can doubt the honesty and sincerity of this paragraph ? How sail the writer evident ly feels to think the Constitutional amendment abolishing slavery constitutionally, is not to receive the endorsement of Kentucky! How justly indignant he is towards those “radical fanatics” who have defeated this benificent measure that lies so near his heart 1 And how tender, too, of the name of Henry Clay, and with what feeling reproach he refers to the “abolitionists” whose “pestiferous influence” he was made to feel years ago. The sincerity and heartfelt emotions of this “honest Iago” are more fully appreciated when we consider how he was accustomed to speak of Henry Clay and “his bloody hand” years ago, and how he sneered at Mr. Clay’s schemes of emancipation; schemes to affect posterity but not his own generation, interests and times. Then, too, how we can appreciate this ten der solicitude for the constitutional amend ment, when we remember that only a few brief months since, he rejoiced and throw up his cap and hurrahed till he brought on the bronchitis, because Democratic New Jersey re fused to endorse it; and how he poured bene dictions upon the handful of democrats in our own legislature for refusing it their assent; and later still, how he exulted when recording the fact that every democrat in the New Hamp shire legislature voted in solid phalanx to keep the chains on four millions of beings wearing God’s image 1 Surely, a man who could do thpse things; who could exult over such acts, must be heartfelt in his regrets that “radical fanatics” have suffered themselves to defeat such a measure in Kentucky!

On the contrary, she is going to give concerts all through the United States, singiug with her high soprano voice at each entertainment.— “Figaro,” of the New York Saturday Prttt, says she is one of the primest donnas living. —Prince Metternich is said to have written the music for a ballet. —M. Schnorr von Carolsfeld, the German tenor and one of the best oratorio singers in the world, died of typhus fever at Dresden, on the 21st ult. —The great singing festival at Dresden promises to be a grand alfalr. The large hall seats 5,960 persons, besides having much stand ing room. The orchestra is oaleulated to ac commodate 11,000 singers, and in the galleries from five to six thousand persons will find room. —It is stated that Auber, tlio celebrated com poser, is to be made a senator of France. —Mr. James E.

The Eighth Wonder—Of the fashionable world, is Sozodont.

No Charge for consultation. Aug. 16—usd&wtf To the People of Maine. Office qf the Mutual Benefit fejft Ins. Co. It will be remembered that only a few days since several of the Life Insurance Agents of this city, alarmed at the unexampled suocess of the Mutual iienolit Life Ins. Co., and its great popularity with the people, telt called upon, to combine their immense influence to check, if possible, its lively prosperity. And to this end, they put forth “A Card,” the osten sible object of which, was to complain of me for claiming “superiorityfor the Mutual Benefit Com pany, and by inference of “disparaging? ail others; their real object however being to damage its suocess. In my criticism upon this “Card" I convicted them all, first of/alsehood in professing to quote from my “statements,” language which I never used. Second, I convicted several of them of having themselves established a precedent by claiming periority" for their own companies, in terms more offensive and objectionable than any which I had used, and Third, I disproved their charge against me, of hav ing “disparaged” other Co.'s, by showing that I had simply used the fusts and figures as given by the Insurance Commissioners. But the most ludicrous feature of this consplrtcy was, that such men should publish themselves at “de sirous of doing business in a fair and honorable man ner”—a discovery which the public certainly would never have made. Being thns/bifed and defeated in their combined assault upon the Agent of the Mutual Benefit Co., the more prudent aud cautious ones, deeming discre tion the better part of valor, have quietly withdrawn from the field. Two, however, of their number, more courageous and venturesome than the rest, evident ly nettled with the stigma which the expose of their former “Card” left upon them, and ambitious of further distinction, have oome forth, (not to defend themselves, or disprove the charges of which they stand convicted) but to make a most virulent and unjust assault upon the Mutual Benefit Life Ins. Company itself. The A grata o« the Mutual Lite and New England Mutual have recently published whatpnfssses to be a comparison of tlielr companies with the Mutual Benefit. I have carefully examined their statements and pronounce them most unjust and unfair attempts to disparage a company which stands at the very head of Life Insurance Institution)! in this country. I will, in a few days, take np and expose the falla cy and deception of these invidious comparisons, and pledge myself to show by authorities which can not be disputed, that the Mutual Benefit Co, lias 1st the largest net Assets, and 2nd is paying the largest Dividends to its members of any Life Insurance Com pany in America.
