The Portland Daily Press from Portland, Maine • 2

THE DAILY PRESS. PORTLAND Tuesday Morning, May II, 1864, circulation of the Daily Press is larger than any other Daily paper in the State, and double that of any other in Portland. mans per year if paid strictly in ad wanes a discount of tail be made. Mailer an all four Democratic Idea ol Free Speech. The democratic press has been severely ercised of late about the sacreduess of free speech, because the House of Representatives censured two of Its members lor the utterance of treasonable language on the lioor ot the House, one of them having expressed the hope, that the Almighty God would never allow the Government of the United States to subjugate the fiends who massacred hundreds of surrendered unarmed soldiers at Fort Pillow, or who arc daily engaged in apologizing for and delending that act of tmpaiollelled barbarity.

When Geu. Burnside put on injunction on a treasonable press for daily inciting revolt agaiuBt authority in bis Department, the same champions of a free press and of free speech were actually pathetic in their lamentations over the inauguration ol despotism, and the extinguishment of Liberty's torch in the City of Chicago, and they called public meetings to express their profound respect for those two greatest and highest and dearest rights of American freemen, the freedom of speech and the freedom of the press. But a cose has just occurred in New York, in which the boot is on the oilier foot. showiug that it makes all the difference in the world whose ox is gored. It seems Mr.

Greeley, of the Tribune, made some severe strictures upou a transaction said to have taken place in Judge Barnard a court, a Inch, it turned out, did not take place. Mr. Greeley tailored under a misapprehension of the facts, and under that misapprehension indulged in Ills strictures in the columns of his paper. It was for so doing that this Judicial copperhead this champion of free Mr. Greeley arrested and brought before bis august presence charged with contempt for liis authority.

It is the general theory of the law that contempts of courts are only committed by those who disturb their proceedings, disobey their mandates, or wilfully violate their rules and orders; and that publications made or acts done out of court which do not amount to either of these, do not constitute a contempt It is true that in New York they have a statute which provides puuisbment, for publication of a false or grossly inaccurate report of its proceedings." But the article in the Tribune complained of was not a report of proceedings, but comments upon a report wade iu auother paper, published two days before. This is the way a Democratic Judge vindicates the freedom of the Press when the power is placed in his hands to deal blow at the friends of freedom and of the Union. The fact is, as we have had frequent occasion to remark heretofore, there have been no men in the country so inimical to free speech when that speech was to them, or of a free press when that press opposed their iniquities, as those who now lay the highest claims to democracy. It is such men who mobbed abolitionists, destroyed anti-slavery newspaper offices, murdered K. P.

Loveioy in Alton, mobbed and imprisoned Wm. Slireve Bailey iu Kentucky, drai2ire.il r-wr4 Oontsuu through the streets of Boston with a rope around liis neck, and within the three last years broke up acti-siavery meetings in the same city, and followed Wendell Phillips from the lecture-room to his home, tbrowiug rotten eggs, on the Sabbath. Their works have been known and read of men in ibis state. In Bridgton they entered tbo house of God, dragged Jfoin the altar a preacher of Righteousness, because he was inveighing against human slavery. In this city, in Bath, iu nearly every considerable town in the state, the aolid arguments of these democratic champions of free speech have been felt by unoffendiug abolitionists, for no crime, for no act except that they denounced the sift of buying and selling human beings like cattle, and invoked the universal prevalence of that Liberty which is the inalienable right ofevery man.

And it is only because their owu inclination to preach treason and openly to espouse and advocate the cause of rebels iu arms is interfered tiny now, all ol a sudden, pretend so muvli regard for the sacred right of free speech and the great blessing of a free press. It is only bull that gores the ox has changed owners. Return of the Revolted States. The Evening Post has no sympathy for any attempts to put State Governments in operation, In the revolted States, by the interference of any extraneous power. Iu Virginia a socalled Constitutional Convention lias recently been in session at Alexandria, and adjourned without any provision for submitting its work to the people.

The Poet object to this fact, however, but with no little sarcasm suggests that, under the circumstances, this refusal appears but natural, as there is just now, no people to refer it to; the whole Bute, with the exception of a few counties ou the Potomac, aud Northampton and Accomac, separated from the rest of Virginia bv ilm wiilth the Chesapeake bay, being either iu the enemy's hands, or debatable ground, across which guerillas sweep, and where armies may light any day. To submit a Constitution and to the votes of these counties ami a few Mattered precincts, the insists, would be ridiculous. The Post further suggests that the Convention itself was not such a body as to cither represent iu any way the mass ofeveu the Union people in the State, or to seuure for its acts the approval of the people, its proceedings have attracted hut little attention, public opinion having set a mark upon it irom tho first. The following is the conclusion of the Post's article: What is the use of such hasty attempts to reorganise a State government What is the use of plucking uuripe fruit? No one really believes a body like this which culled itself a Virginia State Convention has authority to commit the State to any course. So in Louisiana, the interference of the military arm which commanded an election, deprived that election of the moral force of an act of the people.

It was widely different in Arkansas, where the people acted without a hlut from the military power, without the interference of the geueral government, and even without consulting with it. There the State was really cleared of rebel armies; only predatory guerilla hands roamed here and there, and robbed secessionists as well as Union The people of the State after due notice, met and chose a convention fur the express purpose of re-establishing civil government and returning the State formally and by solemn act to its due allegiance and place, iu the Union the greater part of the people of the State voted; the convention was held in proper form at theState capital; and its proceedings were approved by an open vote of tho people. No one could object to these acts they had the moral force of acts of the people; even rebels yien silent before them; and there can never be any dispute hereafter as to the authotity of the convention, or the binding force of tlx ordinances. We prefer to see other States back iu the saint' way. We prefer to wait, till the fruit is ripe; it will save cholic hereafter.

Nothing is gained by setting up a State government which is not the creature of the people, hut of some extraneous power. The military force must hold the country till the loyal people of a State are prepared to rtassume the power and rights of which they were deprived by the rebel usurpation The Mysteries ol Traffic. The mysteries of traltic, like those of some other things, are past finding out, except by those who have been initiated into the arts of what got and catching what you can," ol buying cheap and selling dear, and of converting the into the It is getting to be pretty well understood, that hen Government adds a fourth of a cent to the tax of anything sold by the pound, the wholesale dealer at once adds a whole cent to his ptice, and the retailer two, while the additional middle-men put on a perquisite of from one to three cents each, so that the consumer, instead of simply paying an advance equal to the increased amount of the tax, actually pays au increased price of from teu to twenty-live per cent, because of that two-and-a half mills which go in to the national treasury. There is another singular kink in tiiis business of traffic, or, rather, iu the medium of intelligence through which the seller becomes informed ol the fluctuations in the Let flour, meal, molasses, codtlsh, advance only the millionth fraction of a cent, and quick as the electric flash the intelligence reaches every retail dealer comeatablc by lightning or lightning expresses, and the consumer feels the effect in the enhanced cost to him as promptly as the water in the spout of the tea-kettle is raised by pouring au additional quantity into the body ol the vessel, hut let the same articles decline iu price iu the wholesale market, and the news travels to tiie retailer, and through him to the consumer, with the velocity of a four story brick block uuder the influence of Jack screws. Of course this is all right and proper, and we have not the slightest disposition iu the world to complain we only refer to these things to illustrate how great are the mysteries of traf lie.

We have been led into this train of thought by reflecting upon the difficulty which the people llnd iu telling on which side their bread is buttered. This unctuous taste of which may be remembered by the mure wealthy classes, but which has become a thing of doubtful recollection with very gone up, tip, up, to such a fabulous height that the common people see a long time ago, and have probably seen less aud less ol it ever since. Hut while it is still up here, it has been tending downward iu the large markets for some time, though the news has not got about to any extent in this lattitude. The reports in the New York Independent for Saturday, April 23d, showed a decline in that market from 48 cents per pound to 25 cents. The best lump was at this lowest figure.

It fell ten cents per lb. in the week prece.ediug the report alluded to. The Independent says: The reason prices were run up so high was because old butter was sold to gold-paying countries, aud followed the price of gold closely. Now the new make of hay butler comes in plenty, and is of such character that it cannot salely be exported, so dowu goes prices by the run, as predicted in the Independent all through March. This (Monday) morning, (April 25th) the market is more steady at 25 a 20 1-2 cts.

Mr. Editor: Visiting this place on busiuess completed, aud awaiting transportation, allow me to (111 up a leisure hour iu briefly doiny Point Lookout.

This was once a fashionable watering place, where the hot bloods of Maryland and Virginia Weut tocooi. Nature has furnished a point of solid laud, projecting into the sea, washed on either side by the waters of the Chesapeake, which divide Maryland into the eastern aud western shore. She has also furnished an abundance of tall, straight pines, so wide apart as to furnish convenient walks and drives as well as cooling shade. Art, before the war, had erected a capacious hotel for boarding the guests, a bowiiug saloon, and numerous little, cheap cottages, built on the same model aud joined together, where the guests could find rest, lodging and retirement. Some 1500 visitors a day formerly patronized the landlord of Point Lookout; but war came and chose his quarters as a strategic point.

It is now occupied as a military post, principally as a camp for rebel Driiinnpra some-thousands of whom, 1 am told, arc now here. I tlud at the wharf the steamer New York, commanded by Capt. Chisholm, who used to run this very boat from Portland to St. Johu. Major John K.

These officers, while affording all kindness and courtesy to your correspondent, are restrained by orders from furnishing statistics which may be Useful to the enemy. 1 saw many rebel prisoners, officers iu health and privates out of health, take the boat for City Poiut; many of them minus legs, many carrying crooked limbs, some wasted away with consumption, some with chronic They were carried tenderly from hospital to boat and provided with wholesome food and comfortable lodgings, mattresses and a marked contrast to the manner the rebels treat Uniou prisoners. So much at Poiut Lookout. Taking passage iu the steamer New York, and astuteroom on the starboard side, we retired at an liouest evening hour, aud our conscience being at ease, at once dropped into a deep sleep. At ten o'clock we were suddenlyfawakened by a crash aud a sinking sensation that we were being buried beueath the waves; finding ourselves safely in bed, we concluded our fright a delusion and resumed our wonted composure.

Listening, we heard the rattling of broken lumber aud the voice of Msj. Mulford that the wheel chains were fuul. ltisiug iu our berth and looking out, what was our surprise to ilnd the whole larboard side of the after stateroom stove in. On inquiring, we found that a brig going iu a contrary direction had struck us with her bowsprit just aft the wheel-house, aud raked a clear passage to the stern, carrying away a lamp hanging in the center of our cabiu, aud leaving her own lamp aud her figure-head as mementoes of her visit. The wile had the good JI.I.II- IT.

fortune to occupy a -taterooifi next to the one first carried away. On arriving at Norfolk, we find by the papers that. Gen. Shepley has assumed command here. As a Maiue man, the announcement is a welcome one- lie sure your correspondent will lake an early opportunity to pay his respects to the General.

J. U. letter from the Maine Thiiticlli. Camp ok the 30th Me. Vet.

Voi.s., In the Field, Grand Kcort, April 18th, 1804. To the Editor nf the Pretu l'p to the present date our regiment lias marched over three hundred aud fifty painbeipieatliing miles, and now, foot sore and weary, emancipated and haggard, two-thirds in number only of our one remain. Kssajiug to march on Shreveport, we advanced as far as Sabine Cross Uoads, at which place we found a Texas steamer, so firmly embedded in the ground of treason as to send the 13th Army Corps back upon us reeling, though not too late to prevent the ltilh Corps from saving it from complete annihilation. Forced to fall back a dozen miles or more to Pleasant Hill, we made instant disposition to do battle with the enemy on the morning of the 9th. We had not to await his appearauce long, lie advanced upon us with his troops in four lines of battle, aud driving our skirmishers before him, entered through the pine woods out upon the open field, which so soon was to become the fierce arena of strife.

The 30th Maine Kegimeut was posted upon the left flank of our forces, with peremptory orders to hold that part of the field at all hazards. Opposed to us, upou the right of the enemy, were the veteran troops of army, composed of Texan rangers and sharpshooters, men fearing neither God nor evil spirit. Slowly as our three companies of skirmishers were driven in before the demoniac yells ol the rebels, as slowly and as coolly did tlie main reserve of the 30th, now upon their faces, their aud wait lor near rifle range. While we were thus partially screened from the devastating hail which flew by us, our two Colonels, Fessenden and Hubbard, remained standing throughout the whole storm. Said Col.

Frank Fessenden, just previous to his giving the order meu and give it to for God aud your On, on came the traitors, till in a measured, deliberate tone of voice, the Colonel gave the word. But sixty yards remained between us aud the enemy, and the Are from the 30th told among them with fearful effect. Still on came the brave, though misguided men, receiving volley No. 2 from the sons of Maine. At this instant, in order, came from the lips of our commander, and facing about we took our positiou upou the brow of a hill, which completely covered our whole left flauk, and, as the foe advanced, delivered into his face another sheet of flame, which, with the grape aud canuister of a battery on our right, seut him hack howling, discomfited and broken into the ditches, over which he had but so recently advanced with his exultant shouts aud thoughts of easy victory.

Now was seen the advancing columns of the lfith Army Corps under the brave Gen. Smith, a9 they went on through a miraculous storm of bullets iu a fierce charge upon the foe, in which they were joined by the Maine, the only regiment of our brigade who took part iu it: although cut up and decimated as it was, ouc would naturally suppose the effect would have been too disheartening upou the men ever to reform and unite in oue of the most gallant charges ever made by troops in tire Held. During the action our colors were pierced by bullets, and at one time, as the stall' was shot away, and the brave eolor-sergeant stricken to the eartb, the colors were restored to the bearer by the hand of Colonel Fessenden, than whom a braver or cooler man never lived Our loss in killed, wounded and missing stands at present at 138. During the eaily part of the action, Lieut. Sumner C.

Strout.of Co. was almost instantly killed by a minilie hall, which struck him in the head. I could individualize persoual iustances of bravery which came under my notice, hut will defer mentioning them uow. Suffice it to say, that not one instance of cowardice exhibited itself in any of the 30th Maine. Although the enemy may claim the battle of the 8th, yet tint of the Wth was a most brilliant success for us, aud 1 regret that we were unable to follow them up, and on to Shreveport.

We march for the latter place iu a few days. I am, dear sir, yours truly, C. Jn. nnd Organ Maiinfactorics. This branch of business is now carried on quite extensively in ibis city, and no better instruments can be going the world over, titan can be got up in Fortlaud.

In two offices in this city the strikers have found themselves struck, their raid leaving the nitnble-flugered typesetters unmolested. The strike, be it remembered, was not to protect the rights of the strikers by securing higher to all their demands in this regard ready acquiescence was to infringe upon the rights of female compositors by driving them from their cases, and upon employers by dictating whom they should employ aud who should not be privileged to work in a printing office.
