BANGOR, Feb. %


BANGOR, Feb. %.
The intense excitement which has for
week past and more peryaded the public
mind has for the present moment subsided.
There is still stir and hustle. The foun-
dries are still at work 10 casting balls
men are busy in manufacturing cartridges,
teams are constantly arriving and de-
parting with arms,-stores and munitions
of war, load after load, are passing every
hour for the scene of operations. All
kinds of provisions have advanced. All
kinds Of produce from the country meet
quick sale, and high price. 1t will take at
least $50 barrels of flour per week to sup
ply the force now gone up, and this is but
one item. But, as said at first. the inten-
siy of the excitement is subsidized, and peo-
pie are beginning to inquire what the issue
of this matter is to be. Some fear that the
General Government will not sustain us,
and that the troops will be ordered back. 1t
cannon he SO, trust. If Maine now re-
traces her steps, this territory may as well
be given up forever.
The matter ought not TO rest as it is.
The Legislature should finish the work
when about it.-Take possession Of post
at or near the line where the Aroostook and
St. Johns pass the line, fortify each post
strong open roads as fast as may be,
and throw the whole country open for set
Element. In ten years the whole expense
will be more than repaid by the wealth
which will be realized from her soil. As
to settlement by arbitration or by agree
ing upon conventional hne," do no! for
moment give countenance TO the idea.
II the British Government want portion
for a road to unite their privnces, lei them
pay us for il: While we give countenance
to the thought of an arrangement we fail
in making any suitable terms.
The corps of Videttes are now posted on
the line from Augusta to Houton, and the
camp, so that each man has about 5 or 6
miles of distance. Each one has horn,
and arouses his neighbor in season to be

allowed to be out of the call of the bugle at
at any moment.

OUR MILITIA.

The promptness with which our Militia
have complied with orders from Head Gu
arters is worthy ofaIl praise. The Bangor
Wing, in speaking of the movement of the
troops under Major Gen. Hodsdon in that
DIVISION saws on Sunday noon the General
received his orders from the Governor and
before midnight, his order had been duly
Transmitted and served on all the proper
subordnates, and within eight and forty
hours, the troops some OF them 100 miles
apart, were all at the place of rendezvous.
AS an instance of the promptness with
which our militia move in this business, we
will mention the town of Mio.-The order
for the draft reached the officer in that
town about 8 o'clock at night, and before
two o'clock, in the morning, the draft was
made, every man notified. and before ten
O'Clock, A. NJ. the detachment was on the
march.
The appearance Of the Light Infantry
company from Bluehll, and the Rife COM
pany from Dexter, both dressed in an ex-
celent uniform of Yankee manufacture,
excites general admiration These COM
panies reside about rs miles apart ;-but
both arrived here last evening in the finest
spirits. The Castine Light Infantry, is a
fine looking crops. They received their
orders on Monday. and arrived here the
next afternoon. A like spirit is manifested
in this vicinity. The Major General, }. 5.
Jewe,t, received his orders yesterday
noon, which were Immediately sent down,
and the officers were detailed to-day. and
the draft will be made tomorrow and Mon
day. Portland Advertiser.
And we will add that the soldiers in
this section, seem to evince the same patri-
otto spirit; determined to meet the exlgen'
cy with becoming promptness., The splr
it of our fathers still lives. ED.TEL.
