Our reporters language did not do full jus
tice to Gen. Towards remarks on this subject,
in his speech at the City Hall last Saturday
evening. Gen. ii. has furnished us, through
friend, with correct report of what he did
say on this point, as follows:
There is another subject, concerning which
there seems to be some misunderstanding.
That is, that Federal bayonets mustn't protect
rebel property. Now if they do, the iault is
not with the army, but arises from something
exterior. 1t is with those men, who are igno-
rant Of the law of nations and humanity, who
have the common feeling that soldiers in the
war must partake of It's spells. But they do
not go beyond the policy of Scott in Mexico,
or Wellington in his campaigns. ! say this to
defend the army. They are as willing to put
down this rebellion you are. But they pro-
tect rebel property. What against? Against
its use for public purposes? No! Against its
use for subsistence and forage, when needed?
No! Against employing the black man, when
he can be of service? No! But against the
thieving, maurading disposition of many, that
your citizen soldiers may come back with no
tons of right and Justice.

Our regiment, the 7th, occupies nearly the
same position as it did when last wrote We

All is quiet in our neighborhood. The day
before yesterday the rebels were seen approach

Patriotic Movement in Cape Elizabeth.

MEssRs. EDIToRs 1T gives us great pleas
ure to announce through your columns, the
noble action of the patriotic citizens of Cape
Elizabeth in regard to furnishing their quota
of men.
In answer to brief call for persons desir-
Gus of adopting measures to avoid a draft, to
meet at the Town Hall, Monday at IL o'clk
p. NJ, the leading men of all parties assembled
and organized the meeting by the choice Oft the
following officers, viz:
Hon. CHAs. HANNAFoRD, Chairman; Reu-
ben Higgins, Esq, Secretary.
Remarks were then made by the following
named gentlemen, including the most infuen-
}ial and wealthy men of the town:
Samuel Haskell, Esq, in neat and patriotic
speech urged the utility of giving every volun-
teer as much it not more, than any other town
i'm Maine
Cyrus Cole, ESQ.,, expressed his entire will
ingness to raise any sum called for, and re-
marked that his purse was at the disposal of
those who would answer our country's call
He was followed by J. S. Pickett, Ezra Scam
mon, Ira Tibbetts, John Fluent, ESQ.,, all of
whom signified their approval of the call and
its purpose by urging the adoption of vigorous
measures to reinforce our friends in the field,
and avoid the stigma of draft.
Alvin s. Dyer, Esq, of Portland, then pro-
posed the raising of an entire Company, re-
uaIhiIig, lHdt AT tne commencement OIL Ine war
he opposed it, but now he was in favor of
crushing the rebellion by the employment of
the vast resources of the North to that effect,
and he for one would offer 500 to each volun-
teer, and more if required.
Messrs. Hannaford and Higgins, both being
exempt from military duty, and having no
children liable to draft, generously offered to
furnish, by private subscription, 500 or even
$500 per man, if the young men would raise a
company double the number of their quota,
and such company should be the object Of the
towns liberal support and kindest care while
on the battlefield.
The result was what might have been ex-
pected from the well known loyalty of the
town.
A young man at once offered himself, stating
THAI in leaving business, home and its endear-
ments, he but did his duty as citizen and an
American. Others Immediately followed, and
to-day CaH Elizabeth may be counted on for
an entire company.
The meeting was adjourned until Monday,
July, oath, when the town will make legal the
following vote, passed unanimously by the
meeting of Monday evening, viz:
pofed. That the Town pay to each man who may
volunteer under the present call, sum of money
equal to that paid by Portland, aay otherown in
the State, and more If required.
AT late hour the meeting adjourned, being
one of the most enthusiastic and harmonious

sB-Gen. Berry, of Rockland, since the re-
cent battles in front of Richmond, has written
a letter to his brother, from which the Free
Press publishes extracts, from which we clip
the following:
"Out of 400 men that have had since
starting from Hampton, but 1900 now remain.
OF the balance. many lie in hospitals sick and
wounded, and the bones of others lie mould
ering on the fields of Williamsburg, Fair Oaks,
Advance Station, Charles City and Quaker
Road
"0ur men fight splendidy, the enemy despe-
rately. All their canteens are found with
whiskey in them, and mixed with gunpowder.
All the prisoners we take on the battlefield
are intoxicated-made so to make them fight
desperately"
'All our retreats have been well conducted
not a cannon lost; men behaved splendidly
no panic; all cool, and bound to turn and fight
if attacked, as we have been twice"

Letter from the Capital.
AUGUSTA. July IA. 1852.

AIuISIA, July IL, lco2.
EDIToks OF PRESS Among the many
charitable agencies for the relief ofour soldiers
who may stand in need of aid of any kind, per-
haps there is no one more prominent than the
New England Relief Association in New York,
not only in providing for destitute soldiers,
but especially in caring for the sick and wound
ed. As an instance of the beneficial operation
of this most humane institution, Col. Frank f.
Howe, agent in New York for Maine, as well
as for some other New England States, reports,
under date of July 4, that two months pre-
viously he found Hadley Fairfield, young
man belonging in Patten, Maine, sick in the
New York Hospital, whose case the Surgeons
pronounced hopeless, so much 40 indeed that
there was no need oftelegraphing to his friends
in Maine. Col Howe, nevertheless, notified
them and the young mans aunt at once went
ON to take care of him. Col. Howe states "her
presence saved his life" and adds that ''this is
one of the very many rewards we enjoy of ex-
ira attention to individual cases."
Capt West, of Co. 3D." 10th Maine Regi-
ment, has been sick in Portland for few days,
but has now gone to join his Regiment. Capt.
West, with two hundred men, including his
own Company, built tressle bridge across the
Shenandoah, SIS feet in length, in twenty-four
working hours, thus showing to that Division
of our Army what the Maine boys can do. In
the retreat of Gen. Banks the 10th Maine COW
cred the rear, and although some of the Mas
sachusetts papers glorify the bravery of I'd
Mass, on that occasion, the truth is that Reg
iment was, at one time, completely broken up
and scattered, while the 10th Maine remained
an unbroken phalanx, save when their ranks
were followed by the enemys shot and shell.
The first five shell, thrown by the rebels,
fell among Capt Vests Company. The first
fell harmless; the second took off mans arm;
the third killed man the fourth wounded a
Corporal; and the fifth carried away the, mus
ket from the hand of man.
One of the Maine Colonies, now in the field,
writes that recently two Democratic repre-
sentatives from New York, visiting the army,
were overtaken by shower, when, spying
rude structure near by, they concluded they
would obtain shelter therein until the rain
countered by guard, whereupon the following
colloquy ensued:
"Haltw orders the guard.
"We only want to go in until the rain is
over" says one of the members.
"You cannot enter, sir"
''Why not?"
"My orders are not to allow any one to en-
ter" says the guard.
s.Whose house is this ~
at belongs to rebel"
"Where is he ?"
San officer in Stonewall Jackson's army says
the guard.
''Well," says the member, II am getting to
be an abotitionist mighty fast"

Irregular Correspondence of the Press
Letter From the Camp.

HEAD QUARTERS It'll Me. Vols,
Camp near Harrison's Landing, July 10.
Yesterday morning our regiment, with the
rest of the brigade, were ordered out in light
marching, at I A. NJ. After marching to the
picket line the 18th Maine was deployed as
skirmishers. 1t was soon ascertained that the
rebel picket line hadb been withdrawn, and from
information obtained from rebel prisoner it
was discovered that the rebels had again ske-
daddled The country was carefully skirrn-
ished for a mile and a half in advance of our
picket line, but no force could be discovered.
They had all left in the night but scatter
ing few, and they were captured by our men.
From appearances there must have been at
least $4,000 men encamped here probably with
some hope that they could break the centre of
our lines.
Our men are in good spirits, busily engaged
in certifying our lines, which have been estab-
lished by Gen. Mcclellan himself
Since our troops arrived at this new base of
operations they have been more than ever anx-
ious for an attack from the enemy, but there is
no prospect Of that very soon. Our situation
is an admirable one, with our TANKS well pro-
tected by the gunboats, and large Notifications
that have been recently built to protect our
front. The bands discourse pleasant music all
the day, and we rest after long and tedious
march at last.
When we think Of the precarious situation
that we occupied on the Chicahominy, with
daily attacks in front, on our flanks, and even
in the rear, by greatly superior forces, we feel
TO adore that brave and competent General,
who performed the mastery feat of so chang
ing our position that any possible advantage
from the enemy is now beyond doubt.
