PoRTLAND's QUoTA.-At the rate we have
been going on this week in the city the Infant
ry corps of Portland will soon be full A few
weeks since, an English woman, of very lady
like address, with her husband, landed in Port
land and proceeded TO Boston, where her hus-
band lefteher, and the authorities returned
her to this city, and she was sent by our city
authorities TO the Hospital. On Thursday
last she presented the city flor their trouble
in her behalf with twins-two as fine boys as
any fond mother would like TO put her eyes on.
Yesterday morning male infant, about two
weeks old, was found on the steps OF house
on Spring street. The child was well dressed,
and is fine, healthy boy. The following
note, partly in pen and partly in pencil, was
attached to the clothing :-"This child, Born
of protestant parents, i leve at your door and
may you train for you or seek for some other
TO befriend it, and my God Bless You as
servant of God" The little fellow was sent
TO the common receptacle of such unfortu-
nates-the Aims House.
The child found on Prospect street a few
weeks ago, has been, by the Overseers, named
"John Oaks Prospect This abandoning
children is most shameful procedure, but
mothers or fathers, who leave their children at
our doors, should, at least, leave a name with
the destitute ones.
The activity in this line OF business, mani
Tested within a few weeks, denotes with great
certainty that the crop of boys in this city the
present season will be very prolific. notwith-

Rebels.
New YORK, May b.
The steamer Creole, from New Orleans 9th
inst via Havana, has arrived. Her adyices are
not so late as by the George Washington, but
nevertheless contain some news.
The report of fight at Cane River, April
sd, is confirmed by correspondence in the
New Orleans papers. The rebel position was
taken by assault by Gen. Birge, at the point of
the bayonet and from so to 100 rebels captur-
ed. Among the first OF the killed was Gen.
Fessenden, while leading his brigade. The
rebels were pursued and again routed. Their
loss was 175 killed and wounded.
The above account, SO far as it relates TO
Gen. Fessenden, we know is not correct; for
dispatches have been received from General
Banks, stating that Gen. Fessenden was only
wounded in the leg.l
The U. S. supply steamer Union, at New
Orleans, captured April Both, off the Florida
coast, the O X from Havana, ostensibly bound
for Matamoras, and sent her to Key West.
Gen. Franklin. who was wounded In the leg
at the battle of Mansfield had arrived at New
Orleans. Also, General Fitz Henry Warren,
