Letter from Augusta. 1

Bounty for nine months men--Ieer Mr.. Had
ley-Pdroted Prisoners from Mdine-Ne,c
York -Recruits-Appointmen
AUGUSTA, Aug. 25, 1862.
EDS. PRESS AT meeting of the citizens
of this city on Saturday evening last, Hon.
Samuel Cony in the chair, it was voted to pay
to each man who shall enlist to fill up our
quota (filty-one) Of nine months troops. the
sum of one hundred dollars, and that the May
or be authorized to employ sufficient number
of smart men in each ward to induce men to
enlist, and otherwise cooperate with the Ser
geants. We shall raise our quota by yolun-
teers undoubtedly. 49,
Rev. Mr. Hadley, of the Sanitary Commits
sion, last evening addressed large audience
in the Orthodox church. His remarks we're
interesting and instructing, showing the con-
dition, operation, and purposes of this most
important and humane institution. Mr.. Had
ley was introduced by the Governor, in some
most felicitous remarks.
There are about fifteen hundred unexchang-
ed paroled prisoners in camp at Annapolis,
Nd. many of them men captured at the battle
of Bull Run. 1t would seem that those taken
first should be exchanged first. These men
are all anxious to he in the field, and would be,
at least, as efficient soldiers as any now in SER
vice. In the number are about one hundred
Maine men, under command of Acting Capt
c. c. Drew Of this city, a Sergeant in the Sd
Regiment, and Bull Run prisoner. Dr. Bux-
ton, who is there, writes in high terms of Capt
Drew, and of the cleanliness and order preserv-
ed by the Maine boys, in contradistinction from
those from some other States. The New York
Evening Post says "Maine will soon have fur
nished twenty-nine regiments to help put down
the rebellion" Twenty-nine regiments of In
.fdratry, Mr.. Post, and one regiment of Cavalry,
of 300 men, and 9 batteries of Artillery, and
one Company of the sharpshooters, besides
giving more men to the Navy than any other
State in proportion to its population. Two
hundred and thirty-twe recruits left this morn
ing under charge of Capt. JONES' of the eth
regiment, as follows, viz:-21 for the I'd Reg't,
26 for the Sd, 21 for the 4th, for the 5th, for
for the 7th, 25 for the 10th, 81 for the 11ih, 30
for the Cavalry, and Is for the Batteries.
am indebted for the above to Adjutant Fur
bush in Major GARDENERS office.
Col. H. g. Staples, of the Sd Regiment, left
to-day to rejoin his regiment. The Col. has
not fully fully recovered, but is anxious to be
in the field again. He is popular and capa-
bic officer, and has the command of noble
Regiment, composed of the best young men in
the Kennebec valley. SKIRMIsHER

The Gallant Maine Fourteenth.

Last winter, when the Maine Fourteenth
was in rendezvous at Augusta,as all who spent
any length of time there well know, it COM
manded the respect and challenged the admi-
ration of all who witnessed its admirable dis
cipline, and the soldierly bearing Of both Of
ficers and men. OF four or five regiments
there at the same time, the Fourteenth was Of
tenest and with the most regularity seen on
parade, performing the evolutions OF the
manual, and familiarizing themselves with the
use Of arms; and these drills were not con-
Quoted by some subordinate officer far down
in the scale, and who had seen no service him
SELF but the gallant Commander, Col. FRANK
S. NIcKERsoN, was always at the head of his
regiment, not mounted, but on foot like the
men, putting them through the drill, sharing
with them in all the fatigue, hardship and toll
incident TO camp life in the SHOWS OF a down
east winter.
1t was also noticed that no regiment had so
few men in the hospital or on the sick list,
none made less complaints of hardship, none
betrayed more general spirit of subordina-
tion to the rules of the service, without the APP
pliances of arbitrary power often closely bor-
dering on tyranny. Col. Nickerson remarked
to the writer of this that one of his most Diff
cult labors was to make his men-when they
would first come into camp-understand and
appreciate the necessity of proper care over
themselves-their habits OF life-in order to
preserve health. And so feelingly alive was
he to the interests of his men, and SO deeply
did he feel the Importance of his own personal
presence and influence among them, that for
four or five months, as he told us, he could not
find time that he could feel justified In absent
ing himself from the camp in order to visit his
own loved and cherished family in Waldo
County. Who wonders that such a Command
er should have good regiment, or that reg
iment thus ledf has been found ready to follow
him in the face of dangers and of death?
When the order came for the 18th Regiment
to break camp and leave for Ship Island, and
for some reason they were found unprepared
for so sudden a transition. Gov. Washburn
sent to Col. Nickerson, late in the afternoon.
and asked how soon he could be prepared with
the Fourteenth, to take up the line of march.
The answer was, "Tomorrop morning, sir"
and sure enough, the next morning at eight
O'Clock, when those living in the outskirts Of
the city came in, they found the field so lately
covered by the white tents of the Fourteenth
deserted, while the regiment was being hur-
ried along with the speed of the steam horse
for the place of embarkation. Well do we re-
member the remark we made in relation to II,
in communication from the Capital to the
paper we then published, that when the Maine
Fourteenth should be heard from it would be
in way to make every son of Maine feel
the swellings of an honest pride within his own
breast.
The Portland daily press., 1862-08-27

neThey tell very pleasant story OF the
editor of the Press. He was urging upon
brother of the admirable "a. Ward' his opin-
ion that the democracy were traitorous and
opposed TO the war. The gentleman listened
attentively before he expressed his view. 1T
seems to me-" said he, "that you are very near
ly right; only slight misuse of small word
makes the difference between us. You say
your folks go for the war. Ii you win add,
and the democrats go to the war; we will not
disagree" Mr.. Gilman for once "seemed to
see it"-[Argus.
There is one slight drawback upon this
pleasant story'-its lack of truth-a very
common drawback upon the Argus stories.
1t was manufactured expressly for the Argus"
The Portland daily press., 1862-08-27

Well, that regiment has been heard from, on
the bloody field of Baton Rouge. We have
letter before us dated at that place Aug. 18th,
from one who was mixed up with the blood
and carnage of that sanguinary conflict We
regret that we cannot publish the letter and
give the name Of its author, but enjoined con-
fdence forbids. Suffice it to say, it is from
one whe knew whereof he was speaking, and
was prompted by no disposition to exalt the
Fourteenth" at the expense of any other reg
imcnt.
We have published list of the killed, wound
ed and missing of the Maine 14th, which was
correct, except that to the number Of killed
thirty-six-should be added six more who had
died previous to the date ofthe letter referred
to- making, as our correspondent gives it, AZ
killed and since died, II wounded and IL miss
ing 1t will be seen that this indicates a ter
rible conflict. The number of killed.wounded
and missing is larger than in any Maine Regi-
ment, during the whole six days fighting be-
fore Richmond, and just seren times the aver
age Of the losses there. On the 18th the regi-
ment was in good dcondiiion, all ready for anoth-
er attack, which was constantly threatened.
Considering the numbers engaged, the battle
at Baton Rouge was one of the most severe
of the war, the rebels outnumbering the I'm
ion troops nearly three to one. Notwithstand-
ing this fearful odds, the victory, though cost
ing some Of the best blood of Maine, was
splendid one. The 14th lost nearly one-half
of the whole. The attack was made upon
them; they repulsed it, then went to the sup
port of the 21st Indiana, and drove the enemy
from the front. The Maine Regiment behaved
splendidly, and has the decided preference in
the official report. Col. Nickerson calamity
led his men, and had his horse shot dead un-
der him; but he is not the man to finch. He
was in the battle of Bull Run, the Major ofthe
gallant Maine Fourth and proved himself every
inch soldier. He and his regiment are worthy
of all honor, and the State will not be slow to
remember and cherish their names, and par
ticularly the names of the gallant dead, in the
warmest recesses of its big heart.

Our ~Boys'' In the Hospital.

The following letter contains, as we think,
the "ring of the right metal" and we are proud
that Maine has sent many just such young men
to the army as the writer of this letter, which
was received by gentleman of this city, and
kindly handed us for publication:
ARMY HOSPITAL, WEST PHILADELPHIA,
August 2I, 1862.
Dear Brother:-I received your letter this
morning, and hasten to answer it. received
one from father yesterday, in which he said he
was going to write to w. p. Fessenden, John
N. Goodwin, and l don't know who all, to get
my discharge for me. And find your letter
this morning to contain something Of the same
sort. Now don't you see the absurdity of
such a course? In the first place don't want
my discharge. l had rather get well and
strong, and go back to my Regiment. An
army surgeon has charge of the Hospital, and
after our remaining here certain length of
time we are examined, and unless we are per-
fectly right in every way, shape, and manner,
we are discharged. 1t is impossible to get
over As hours furlough. All that troubles me,
is, | am very weak. like to hear from home,
like to have letters from you very much, for
want to know what is going on. But had
rather not have any letters at all, than getsuch
mournful ones as yours and fathers were
Now please, when you get this, write me a
long letter, containing all the news. Iwould
write more, but have only few moments to
write this in. If you are1 at home, just tell
them not to worry about me. l have been
where the bullets whistled around my ears,
and shells bursting in close proximity to my
head, but they did not harm me, and l don't
believe they ever will. Thank you for your
kind wishes, and for those postage stamps, but
not for your efforts to get my discharge
Hope to hear from you soon. Please write
longer letter next time.
