BIDDEFoRD, Aug. IL, 1862.
To the Editors Of the Portland Daily Press: !:
The paragraph going the rounds of the pa
pers, which you have copied, that Governor
Sprague of Rhode Island is raising regiment
Of its coiored citizens, for "Home Guard" is
foolish. Please read the following extract
from the General Order, dated Aug 4th, issued
by the gallant Governor of "Little Rhody,"
and see If you think 1t means "home guard,'
when he says he shall '1ead them into the
field, and will share with them, in common
with the patriotic soldiers of the Army of the
Republic, their trials and dangers, and will
participate in the glories Of their successes"
Here is the Order:
GENERAL ORDER No. 3s--The 9Th Regiment or
dered by the Secretary of War under date of octo-
Der g. 1851 and orders issued therefor from this De-
partment No 1o3 Dec %. 1851. will consist entirely
Our colored fellow citizens are reminded that the

Washington equal IL mot superior, to any in the
vice. They constitute part of the quota from this
State. and il i expected they will respond with zeal
The COMMANDMENT Chief will lead them into the
field. and will share with them in common with the
patriotic soldiers of the Army Of the Republic their
trials and dangers and will participate in the gories
of their successes.
Now do you think that order means that
the Governor is to "lead them into the field'
about Providence ?-about the plantations
of Rhode Island? 1t is absurd! The Cover
nor means what he says.
Is it possible the General Government is to
refuse the heroic Governors colored boys
when they are ready to assist our beloved
country? 1t cannot be!
Yours truly, MP.

Messrs. Editors: On arriving here by the
beautiful and fast steamer New England, am
pleased to find there has been such ready
response to the call ior volunteers, most of the
towns having already sent forward their en-
tire numbers. 1t is a fact, that there are
great many blabbing secession sympathizers
in almost every town have visited, from one
end of the country to the other; but as the
Union sentiment is greatly in the ascendent,
when it comes to action, and as the wealthiest
and most influential citizens are generally on
the side of their country, money has been
raised for bounty, and the men procured and
sent forward.
In the town from which / now write, by their
proud boasting, one would have supposed the
seceshers would have had it all their own way
ut the Town-meeting, held here last week.
But when the time came, with all their drum
ming, only seren had the Immoral courage to
vote against raising money for the bounty
Their memory win long live in the recolec-
tion of their townsmen.

five sons in the amy, the youngest having

twenty pioneers per regiment, would select
fifty stalwart blacks; give them the axe, the
