Letter from the state Capital.
AUGUSTA. Aug. 30

AUGUSTA, Aug. 30, 1862.
Ems PRESS lit should have been stated in
my letter OF the 18th inst, that the number Of
recruits for old Regiments, contained therein
have been enlisted and mustered in. A great
many more than that number have enlisted,
and will be mustered in soon.
IL may be remembered that stated a few
days since that the War Department has re-
fused the Governor permission TO commission
in new regiments, deserving privates and nom
commissioned officers in old regiments. BY a
later letter from the War Department, theper-
mission has been granted.
Capt. Cowan of the Cavalry, detailed by
Gen. Pope TO recruit for the LIST Me-, Cavalry,
Informs me that he has enlisted 100 men, OF
whom 93 have been sent to the Regiment, and
IS are TO go on Monday, and the remainder
soon amer. Permission has been asked of the
General Government TO purchase horses in
Maine to make up the losses in our Cavalry.
The Maine horses are admitted by Cavalry of
ficers in service TO be superior to any obtained
elsewhere.
On the 26fh instant the 18th Maine Regiment,
was at Alexandria, with only 100 effective
men. The old regiments must be filed.
Ii any your city folks want to have good
time in the country, let them repair to the
Great East Winthrop Pond and put themselves
under the charge of Commodore Harry Hodg-
don; and its splendid scenery, new and clean
boats, good sailing and fishing, and tip top
chowder, prepared under the supervision of
she venerable Commodore himself, will satisfy
Them, they will not regret the visit. All the
'best circles" in this region visit the Commo-
,lore at least three or four times every season.

Dear Sirs: Your letter of the 9th June.
informing me of my nomination for Governor,
at the Democratic Convention held at Bangor
the day before, has been received. My illness
will excuse the delay of the answer
Our Union has heretofore been the pride and
the glory of the South and of the Norih-but a
rebellion has sprung up and is now raging,
that threatens its ACKNOWLEDGMENT. And my
only desire is, in this hour of our countrys dam
ger, to do all in my power, as best can, and
with all my might to put down that rebellion,
and to restore everywhere allegiance to the
Constitution and the Union.
hope soon TO be able to return to the field
again to try to render my country some SER
vice,-but in the meantime, or when away in
the midst OF the conflict, if my name at home
can be OF any avail to rally and unite the loyal
men of my state, and to arouse them TO an eff
fort proportionate to the magnitude OF the is
sue at stake, then it is always at their service.
Please accept for yourselves, gentlemen, the
assurance fmy personal regard, and for the
party whom you represent, my thanks for this
renewed evidence of their confidence and es-
TEEN.
With great respect, your ob't serv't,

IFrOm the Washington Star of Thursday evening j

lFrom the Washington Star of Thursday evening.l
1t appears that the movement of the enemy
on Friday, from the South bank of the Kappa
hammock, ria Jefiersonton, in the direction OF
Little Washington (which the Star described
at length some days sinee,) was actually de-
signed 10 throw the most of the rebel army
across the Rappahannock at the base of Blue
Ridge. This was done, and it is this morning
ascertained that 1t was yesterday morning,
probably, for the most part, massed at or near
White Plains, in the valley between Blue Ridge
and Bull Run ranges, seven or nine miles north
east of Wafrenton.
At an early hour yesterday morning Hook
ers division doubtless dispatched to that
point by Pope on account of the affair there
OF the night beiorel came up with large force
about Bristow Station, with whom he had a
heavy engagement, lasting nearly all day. In
the conrse of it, Hooker drove the enemy step
by step back to the vicinity of Manassas juno
ton. Our total loss in killed, wounded, and
missing in the days engagement there, was
about three hundred Gen. Pope is said to re-
gard the affair as signal Union success.
1t is evident from these facts that the late
shirmishes on the Rappahannock were little
more than feints on the part OF the rebels, who
aimed to get in between Pope's army and the
Notifications around Washington. We opine
that, having done so in a measure, they will
have rather "A lively time getting out of the
position they have chosen.
1t is not proper for us 10 publish the facts
concerning the movements of the vast Union
army now in the enemy's rear, already made,
to punish his temerity. We, however, know
them to be such as to incline us TO believe
that very flew days will see the end of the
rebels in arms in Virginia.
We may add, not improperly we trust, that
not only are the Notifications around the city
so garrisoned, equipped, and prepared as to
enable them successfully to Withstand any at
tack that such an army rs that of the rebels
might make upon them, but there is also 4
large reserved force OF disciplined veteran troops
in such Il position with reference 10 them, as
to make the assurance of'their security doubly
sure, even without the certain cooperation of
of the large Union force lately upon the Rap
pahannock.
From the facts concerning the movements
and positions of the rebels we narrate above,
it is evident that their purpose is either to put
Bull Run between themselves and Popes army
and while essaying TO prevent with a compar-
ativeiy small torce) the latter from crossing it,
to assail us in and about our Notifications; or
else to attempt to cross over into Maryland,
marching via Leesburg. Twenty-four hours,
at fiirthest, will surely solve this problem of
their present aims. 1t matters not which
scheme the rebels have in view, as either must
inevitably fail, met as it will be by our two
united great armies and the troops in the for
tiiications Immediately surrounding this city.

Patriotic Offer.

AUGUST Goth, 1862.
Editors ofthe Press:-I have three daugh-
tiers who are SO patriotic, that they are deter
mined to do something in defence of the Stars
and Stripes, and the suppression of the I'M
righteous rebellion, devastating a portion of
our beloved land, and as the government will
not accept their services in the field, they pro-
pose offering them gratuitously, to take the
place ofany youngman now employeda as clerk,
or bookkeeper, in dry goods store or Bank,
or any position suitable for yong lady to en-
gage in, providing said young man will volun-
teer in defence of our glorious Union, aud up
on his return from the battle field, with his
brow encirced with laurels of glory, they pro-
pose retiring again to the family circle to en-
joy those blessings handed down to us by our
fathers baptized in their blood, and re-baptized
in that of their sons.
Yours in behalf Of the Stars and Stripes.
