HEAD QUARTERS. TIN Me. Vols

HEAD QUARTERS, 1TH Me. VOLS,
Camp Lincoln, June "a, 1862.
All was quiet in front of the line of Smiths
Division yesterday. Considerable skirrnishing
was heard on our left-probably in Sedgwick's
Division. One regiment of this brigade now
stands under arms from three o'clock in the
morning until one-half hour from broad day
light, instead of the whole brigade, as former
ly. This precaution is resorted to, to avoid
surprise. At daylight, an attack from the reb-
els was apprehended, and all the regiments in
the division were ordered under arms. The
firing ON the left, which was heard at intervals
all night, has ceased at this time q, A. NJ,
and all is now quiet The It'll Maine goes on
picket at 0, A. NJ, to-day. They have been in
the advance so much that they have really be-
come acquainted with the boys on the other
side; and it is no uncommon thing for them to
swap garments, canteens, &c. 1t is, of
course, contrary to General Orders, for them
to hold intercourse with the enemy, but in no
case yet has it been severely punished.
When our regiment first came to the fortifi-
cations in front of Yorktown, a man had to
fOoh out. ahd hut oioM HIS uthu, nut HOW our
boys have such an understanding that but lit
tie fear is entertained of getting a shot from a
rebel picket This is as it should be.
1t has been said, and well srid, that 'this is
not war Of pickets," and to the It'll Maine
belongs the honor Of setting the example to
cease firing on picket-except in case of real
attack custom that our foes have wisely
seen fit TO emulate. The case is mentioned in
some of the European wars, of the opposing
parties having such an understanding that they
both met at the same brook, unarmed, and filed
their canteens every morning, and when they
had returned, the 'long rolf would beat, and
they would engage in the fight like tigers.
Quite an interesting scene took place between
Richard Norris, of Co. A, and one of the reb-
els, the other day. Richard, seeing a group in
full view, stepped out in sight and presented
arms to one of them, Mr.. Reb. Immediately
answered: from that they stood up in full
view, and went through the manual of arms in
fine style. When Richard came to charge bay
onets, the Reb. could not stand it, so, as
usual, he cut and run.

Review Of the Week.

During portion of the week just passed,
the news has been of an intensely exciting
character. Gen. Mcclellan has been gradual
ly tightening the anaconda folds around the
rebel capital, and is slowly approaching the
heart of thu rebellion. Naturally, McClellan's
method of making approaches would make his
opponents FESTIVE and uneasy, and hence the
universal impression prevailed, during the lat
ter part of last week. that battle was impend-
ing near Richmond, 1t was natural-that it
should be so; and the result proves that pub
lie expectation was not at fault. Monday, the
telegraph informed us of few days battle
around Richmond, during which, it is claimed,
that Mcclellan has made another advance, at
the same time Furnishing the enemy severely.
1t is now supposed that while his right was en-
gagged with the enemy, his left advanced to a
point within shelling distance of Richmond
This is the present position of the Army of the
Potomac, which seems during the week to have
changed its base Of operations to James River
We hope, ere another week has passed, to have
the proud satisfaction of chronicling the fall of
Richmond, and its occupation by the Union
army.
The reverses near Charleston, an account Of
which we give in another column, we trust are

The telegraphic communication between
Gen. Mcclellan and Washington is Temporarily
suspended, and the news must reach us by
steamer via Fortress Monroe. Gen. Mcclellan
says, the grand fight has but just began, and
he does not desire to make report until the
job is done.

Foreign Intervention.

our washington correspondent more than
intimates the danger of intervention in our af-
fairs by England and France. 1t may be so, and
may not, yet it is well to be prepared for all
emergencies. In the columns of another pa
per, last winter, We stated that, in our opinion
England intended to have the State of Maine
as her share of the spoils, when the Union was
dismembered; and if she does intervene, by
force or menace, in aid of the Southern Confed-
eracy, she will still, in our opinion, have Maine
in view. The increased value of her Canadian
possessions, which would accrue were this State
to become one of her Provinces, cannot be ov-
er-estimated. However this may be, we think
the Importance of providing for the ample de-
fence OF our State, cannot be urged too strong
ly upon the Government. Our State came
forward last winter and provided for the loan
to the General Government of all the funds
needed, and it was hoped that active measures
would have been adopted ere now; but since
the report of the Engineer, but little seems to
have been done. Last winter, at the time of
the Mason and Slidell affair, everybody could
see the defenceless condition of this State.
in the event of a war with Great Britain
Is it any less so now? True, the work is pro-
crossing upon the harbor defences of this city.
yet 1t seems to us that something more is de-
manded. Portland should be made an mpreg-
nable military and naval depot. Something
more than stone forts and the Qualifications of
past age are needed for successful defence
against iron-clad ships and heavy rifled can
non. One Monitor, stationed in our harbor
would be worth more than all the defenses we
have here now In addition to the defence of
OF Portland, expeditions means of communica-
ton with all parts of the State must be pro-
vided for. The frontiers must be defended
and glance at our geographical position win
convince the most skeptical, that railroad. to
reach from Portland to the far northeast, is
absolutely required. No successful defence of
our frontier, against foreign invasion, can be
made without it. Then, our extensive sea
coast is to be provided for, and it is well to
look this matter square in the face Foreign
Intervention will not be half as likely to occur
II we are prepared for it. English or French
troops would not landupon our shores or cross
our frontiers, with so much alacrity, if we
were in a condition to give them a proper re-
ception.
We sincerely hope that the danger of foreign
interference in our affairs is over-estimated
by our correspondent. Still, if they are, we
are not harmed by being prepared for the
worst.

BEFORE THE BATTLE.-Corrcsponde
from Gen. McClellan's headquarters, says the
Boston Journal, written on Thursday last, states
that it had then been determined, as ii appear
ed, that the White House should cease to be
the centre ofintcrest. Various movements are
quoted tojustiiy this opinion. The common
belief was that Jackson had left the Shenan-
doah and was menacing our right on the flank.
This was the weakest part of Gen. McClellan's
line. To withdraw troops from the centre to
support the extreme right would be to run risk
of exposing the army and immense stores near
White House to successful attack and capture
by the rebels, while the whole line, with the
exception of the extreme right would be weak
ened, and the right itself placed under the dis
advantages of front and a fanking attack.
The movements made were such as to concen-
trate our forces in position where CONSOLE
dated system ofaction could be secured While
this is said TO represent matters on our side,
the following from the Richmond Dispatch of
of the 18th ultimo will show what state Of
things existed on the rebel side
The movement of troops has been constant,
but with what intent and purpose we have no
positive idea. The men are in splendid order
all is enthusiasm, animation, preparation and
impatience-there is an oppressive sense of in
gertrude, however, imaginings of by-gone tar
diness to be again rehearsed, perhaps; yet ALL
with one accord, yearn for action, and are will
ing to trust the issue to sinewy arms and val
liant hearts.
An ominous silence reigns supreme-pickets
in the timber move thoughtfully TO and fro,
without firing an accustomed shot; arterists
lean upon their guns and scan the landscape,
indifferent to the scene. All is repose-the
fields are moist and green, camp fires gsten
and glow in the evening air, and the sun goes
down upon the quietest day that we have ever
seen at the lines. The enemy are reported to
have been extremely busy in their inhospitable
swamp for several nights past; pickets imagine
the noise to have arisen from the movement of
divisions DC. Whenever the conflict shall be-
gin, however, the sequel will demonstrate that
the enemy have devised every means known
to ingenuity, cunning and malice to cause de-
struction among our columns. They will not
trust, as heretofore, in numbers, nor will they
advance upon the open field, and try the gauge
ofbattle All will be left TO traps, batteries,
ielled timber and INSTRUCTED roads, and failing
III these, panic will be universal among them,
and the slaughter unprecedented. lis useless
to conjecture-a few hours, perhaps, will re-
veal all.

From Richmond,
ARoosrooK.

we received private letter yesterday from
friend who il in the S venth Maine Reci-
ment, from which we take the liberty of max
ing the following extracts
CAMP LINCOLN, NEAR RICHMOND,
June %, 1862.
Our regiment is about five miles
from Richmond. To-day there was a hard
fought battle on the left of our position. Re-
port says Fort Darling has been taken. 1t is
certain that the rebels have been driven in
mile or so towards Richmond, abandoning
their strong Notifications. These our men
hold, and you may believe will not give them
up. Our army is now near enough to the
doomed city to lombard it. There must be
decisive battle before long. The rebels are in
a furnishing state, and must soon give us
desperate fight, if only to keep themselves from
starvation. Our friends at home need have no
fears of the result when the decisive hour does
come. We are so strongly fortified and have
so much artillery and so many heavy siege
guns that our enemy must be defeated as
matter of course. He can hardly "skedad-
die " for he is so closely beleagured there is
hardly possible chance for it. Let every pat
riot await with patience the result of the con-
fiict that is so soon to occur, and have no anxi-
ETY. as to its result.
