AUGUSTA, March 3, 1868.
To the Editor Of the Press:
letter from Governor Coburn received on
Saturday, states that he was with General
Hooker at his Headquarters that is, in the
saddle-and should remain with the army I'M
til after the impending battle and he had had
an opportunity to see how the army, and es-
pecially our Maine regiments, acquit them
selves in action. He thought he could serve
the State there as well or better for few days
than it would be in his power to do at Angus
Ia. He viii not return before the last of this
week or the first of next. Hon. j. H. Rice,
member Of Congress from the Penobscot dis
trict, was with him.
The Adjutvnt General has finished copying
the enrolments requested by the Provost Mar
shal General. and they are now awaiting his
order. The enrolment is a very perfect one
and comprises about one hundred thousand
men liable to be called upon to bear arms in
the service of the country, about thirty thous-
and Of whom are already in the service of the
army and navy.
The military companies authorized by.sthe
Governor and Council under the act of the
last Legislature, seem to be progressing very
well. Bangor has taken the lead in this work
and has set the example to other towns in
the State which it will be credit for them to
follow. The petition of Hon. J. II. Rice and
eighty-two others, comprising the best and
most prominent citizens of Dover and Fox
croft, praying for an organization, was receiv-
ed last Saturday.
Lieut.. Colonel Twitchell, late Of the Eight
Regiment is in town. He has in his possession
papers from nearly all the officers in the regi-
ment as well as from other sources, exonera-
ting him from any culpabilty in connection
with the late troubles in the regiment. Col
Twitchell is one of our best officers and fully
endorses the war policy Of the administration.
As there seems to be some Misrepresentation
in regard to the expiration of the term of serv-
ice of our nine months regiments, give you
the dates at which their several terms of serv-
ice will expire, which, according to an order
of the War Department, occurs nine months
from the date Of the muster of the field and

WOODS AIN.-In the card
of I. j. Wood, in the Evening Courier, in
which the Press is charged with falsehood,
Mr. W. refers, among others, to "Mr. Shaw,
bill poster" "for information whether or not
we paid our bills" Mr.. Shaw, who is a very
worthy but hard working man, has called at
our office with the following card, and has
shown us his bill, amounting to nine dollars,
approved by the company's Treasurer, but as
it seems unpaid. Here is his
CARD. Allow me through the columns of
your paper to say to the Proprietor OF Woods
Minstrels and to the public, that have not
received one cent for the work / did for the
company, and l would warn all persons en-
gagged in the business that am, to look out
for them, for they are nothing but lot of
suckers. CHARLES Z. T.. SHAW.

Portland, May 5, 1868.

GA friend has called our attention to
the fact that on the occasion of the late ma
tional and state Fast, when the President of
the United States and the Governor of the
state had invited the people to assemble in
their accustomed places of worship, and spend
a season in religious contemplation in view of
the peculiar dangers which threaten our be-
loved land, paper in this city advised its
readers to 60 out of town to witness militia
ry spectacle, which was to come off at pre-
cisely the hour that the churches were to be
thrown open for public worship. We don't
see anything very remarkable in this, for why
should copperhead paper heed the procama-
ton of republican executives, or its readers
fast and humble themselves before God who
hathsaid rs notthis the fast that have cho-
sen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to
undo the heavy burdens, and to ietthe oppress-
ed 90 free, AND BREAK EVERY YOKE?'

The nett proceeds of the Fair and Exhibi.

remaining articles, fulfil the dearest wishes of

have heard Of recent cause. A man called
upon one of our citizens to secure his in
fiuence in favor Of an appointment 10 the Ma
Wy. In the course of the conversation he
came down on President Lincoln, and charged
that he had broken his pledge to the Ameri-
can people and was no longer worthy of con-
idence. In his inaugural he had said he
should wage no war upon state institutions,
and now, said he, he has issued proclama-
ton of emancipation. This was the burden of
his talk. Checking up on this he came to the
business Of his errand, and boldly asked the
gentleman if he would recommend for him
position in the Navy. with all my heart"
was the response, "if you apply to JEFF Davis
will recommend you as one of his most de-
