The Portland daily press., 1862-07-03

The telegraph yesterday, informs us that, at
the instance of the Governors of the loyal
States, the President has decided to call for
three hundred thousand more troops immedi-
ately, for the purpose of holding points gained,
and to hll up all military organizations now in
the field. Names quota will probably be three
or four regiments, and we trust the gallant
sons of the Dirigo State will not be backward
in responding to the call of the Government.
Nobly have the men of Maine responded
hitherto, and they are now reaping laurels be-
fore Richmond.
1t is not known whether the troops will be
called for one or three years, but in either
event, Maine win not falter.
We think, if it could rendezvous at Portland,
that Cumberland County alone could furnish
one regiment, and we would respectfully sug-
gest to the ''power that be- that If three or
four new regiments are to be raise and fitted
out in this State, it would be well to quarter
them in different parts of the State, One at
Portland, one at Bangor and one at Rockland.
Enlistments will go on much more rapidly, in
our opinion, if this course is adopted.
However that may be, or wherever ordered
to rendezvous, the brave and gallant men of
Maine will not hold back in this emergency
They will rally around the dear old flag and
not one will finch at sight of the traitorous
foe
The Portland daily press., 1862-07-03

In the attack on Banks Division near Front
Royal, an infantry man was attacked by two
of the rebel cavalry during this onset, one Of
whom he run through with his bayonet, which
being unable to withdraw, he left fastened in
the body of the Confederate and ran away,
while the other Confederate pursued him with
sabre drawn, and gave him two severe gashes
upon the head transversely across the occiput,
penetrating through the bone of the skull, and
another cut across the neck. He also received
a sword thrust on the thigh, and in his vain
cndeavors to parry off the blows of his assail-
ant, the bone of hie left arm was broken. Not
withstanding these many wounds he refused to
surrender, and kept on retreating until he ar
rived at an embankment on the railroad, in
climbing which his advantage over his foe on
horseback enabled him to escape, but not until
he had struck his pursuer heavy blow with
stone. The boy retreated across the bridge,
where he fell exhausted, and was subsequently
attended by Surgeon Raymond, under whose
care he is now recovering. Surgeon Raymond
declares that he never heard of a case before
in which man with so many wounds has re-
covered from them. Two gashes on the head
one on the neck, a thrust through the hip, and
the forearm broken.

DEATH OF A MAINE SoLpIER.-Charles p.

CONGRESSIONAL NoMINATIoN.-Bys special
dispatch from Ellsworth, last night, we learn
that Hon. FREDERIC A. PIKE was renominated
for Congress in the fifth district. We shall
give full report of the convention tomorrow.
Mr.. Pike is well known to the people of
Maine as an open, DOiu anu fearless advocate
of republican principles. His denomination is
deserved compliment for his fidelity to his
constituency in the present Congress. He will
be triumphantly elected.
HOSPITAL SToREs-By express this morn
ing the following cases of hospital stores, &C.,
have been forwarded by the indefatigable
agent, Geo. r. Davis, ESQ.,.
2 cases from Bath to Mrs. c. A. L. Sampson,
Fortress Monroe, for Sd Maine regiment.

case to Temple Cutler, for 9th regiment,

/ case for Sth regiment, Hilton Head, s. G.
case to Capt. Black, for 10th regiment,

We would say that we hope the people Of
Maine will not weary in well-doing. The ne
cessity for these stores is now greater than
ever. The gallant sons of Maine were in the
front of the fight, and our wounded heroes
must be cared for.

precisely in appearance, soil, and many other
characteristics, like the large section lying be-
tween the Penobscot and the upper Kennebec,
and drained by the Sebasticook and Piscata-
quis, only the latter has not its low fever
breeding fogs and its ague shakes.
But, though there is no end to the subject,
we must make an end of this article, or we
shall be sure to find the end of the readers pa
tience, if indeed it is not already exhausted.
We would say word for the climate of Maine
but for the length of this article. 1t is glori-
Gus climate. The atmosphere of our hills and
valleys is just the stuff with which to initiate
the lungs of a free population. True we have
that scOurge of down east-pulmonary con-
supplementary equal in its terrors to the
pneumonia of the West-but is it not as much
traceable to the imprudence of our fair daugh-
ters-their thin slippers and scanty covering
for the delicate vital organs-as to any defect
of climate? Let us have the habits of our
young ladies, in this regard, improved, and we
will soon have healthy mothers, who will be-
queath to the State well-developed and
healthy posterity.

arrived at about seven o'clock in the evening
Gen. Shields also came as far as Philadelphia
in this train. General Fremont Immediately
Joined his family. Mr.. Seward proceeded to
the Astor House, where he is stopping. A
number of friends called upon him during the
evening. Mr.. Thurlow Weed is also stopping
at the Aston House The arrival of Mr.. Sew
ard was the subject of much comment among
the politicians at the Astor House, and is like
ly to occasion as many speculations as the late
visit of the President at West Point. 1t was
conjectured by some that the presence of Mr..
Seward was due to the secession meeting to
be held at the Cooper Institute on Tuesday
evening, while others argued that his visit had
reference to Gen. Fremont's future movements
following his withdrawal from his command
