STATE OF MAINE.

GENERAL ORDER, No. IL.
To the Major Generals qf the Militia:
Accompanying this you will receive General Order
No. 10, with Proclamations of His Exceency the
Governor, and recruiting papers and instructions
be put into the hands of the Orderly Sergeant or
other person of each of the companies organized un
der your direction with request that they will
list all such persons therefrom Others may be
possible For this service they will receive a suitable
compensation for each man enlisted by them and
mustered into the service of the United States
The necessities of the service admit of delay and
1t most earnestly hoped that the several Major Gen.
erals viii that the requirements of this order are
promptly executed and the Orderly Sergeanfs or 9TH
cr parties designated recruiting officers will omit
no effort on their part TO secure many recruits
possible for the Volunteer Regiments.
As members of the Militia will be called into actual
service under the laws of the United States and
this State, as Militia, for period which in all proba-
bility Will be quite as long that for which they
would be held Volunteers the advantages to be de-
rived by the soldier in volunteering in the matter of
premium, advance pay, bounty, and other benefits,
are so great and obvious that it is believed there will
be no hesitation in enlisting Volunteers, rather
than TO serve Militia, in which capacity they will
receive nothing but monthly wages raions and cloth
ing.
Citizen soldiers remember you have country to
save, and you are the men who render most eff
cient aid in this holy and patriotic work To render
success speedy and certain, and 10 alleviate and
abrldge the caamiiies of war. the President of the
United States has requested this call to be made.
The COMMANDMENTS Chief does not doubt that
true-hearted soldiery will make such response will
still further illustrate the patriotism and devotion of
our gallant and faithful State.
by Order of the Commander in Chief
JOHN L. HoDSDoN, Adjutant General.

AN INTERESTING DECLARATION.
The Pre.iden. ON Catching Negroes.

Correspondence Of The N. Y. Tribune
wAsugGros, Jan. 10, 1862.
at the 'eave-taking Of Gen. James H. Lane at the
White House, on Friday p. m, conversation
occurred so remarkable and important in its score,
and 30 evidently designed for the public eye that
feel at liberty to record it for the readers Of THE
TRIBUNE.
There were present at the time President Lin
coin, Gen. Lane, Senator Pomeroy, Commissioner
Dole, few members OF the House, and a group of
officers and clerks from the different departments of
Government.
On turning to leave, Gen. Lane said: DWELL, Mr..
Lincoln, you know my way; shall pursue the pol
icy with which began, and somebody will get
hurt"
To which the President replied:
"Yes, General, understand you. And the only
difference between you and me is, that you are will
ing to surrender fugtyes TO loyal owners in case
they arc wiling TO return; while do not beiiere The
United States Government has any right 10 gire
them mp in any case. And if it had, the People
would not permit us to exercise it."
Gen Lane rejoined:
"Tha, remark, Mr. President, makes me happier
than anything that has trsDspred since the COM
mtncement of the war. And if you will announce that
az the active policy Of the Administration and let us
win one victory on it, you will be the most popular
man ever on this continent"
Mr. Lincoln returned a nod Of earnest acknowl-
edgment md another prominent officer present
added:
"Ihave been aching 10 ask you, Mr.. President, why
you do not without asking the consent Of Congress-
any body else acquire or set apart some territory
somewhere in the South, and ray TO the Legroes in
The rebel States, Here come ont and 90 there
and we will protect you in its posseasion and your
own freedom.
After some other general remarks, the General and
hs friends withdrew.
Tie General, with bis staff, leaves the city this p.
m. for the field Of his service in Kansas and, having
won the contested scat in the u. s. Senate lie now
ayows his ntentior<o go before the Legislature Of
tie State which elected him, and return the honor to
their hands
know the above narration Of the conversation Of
the Chief Magistrate will cause q thrill of gratitude
and hopeful confidence 10 the breasts Of thousands
and hundreds Of thousands whose socitude and
patriotic impatence have shaken their faith in the
clearness Of the Executive head and in the courage
Of the hand that is at the helm. May God speed the
Right. w. \. CRoTfur.
