For Our Army.

This is the season in which our soldiers in
those comforts and supplies which the Com
missary Department does not furnish, and
which, even the Sanitary Commission does
not convey TO those in the field, because 1t
employs no agent for such purpose. Men
sick in quarters, or in the Field Hospital, and
not sick enough TO be sent TO the general
Hospital, are often relieved and saved from
long sickness, and sometimes from death, 10y
timely and udicious ministrations from anursa
on the ground.
The Maine Camp Hospital Association
organized to fill such deficiency between our
brave soldiers and the larger organizations,
has accomplished great work on small scale
in this direction. A large amount of stores
has been sent TO the field and distributed TO
Maine men. Not one nackage, so far
know, has failed to reach its destination.
One OF the nurses, Mrs. Fogg, is no longer
in our service. Mrs. r. S. Mayhem continues
in the field, and we have abundant evidence
from officers familiar with her movements,
that she is prudently, theoretically and faith
fully accomplishing her service. She has the
aid of the Army Department, is furnished with
tent, ambulance. and other facilities for her
work.
The friends of Maine soldiers are invited to
cooperate. Mrs. Mayhem is unpaid The as
ISOLATION expends not one cent on its organi-
zation or its servants. Let those who would
contribute TO our soldiers make up their boxes
enclosing flannel shirts, dried apples and dried
groceries of all kinds, dried fish, meat and
anything which soldiers love and can be safe
ly conveyed, and forward the same, marked,

Geo. II. Davis, and send a note to him adyis-
ing of their coming, and he will send them to
Mrs. Mayhem. Each package or box should
enclose an account OF the articles within and
the name and residence of the donors so that

Letter from the Army OF the Potomac.
JTH Me- BAT'Ry, Camp near Brandy Stan,
Va, Jan. 18th, 1864. y
To the Editor Of the Press;
Some months since / wrote you few lines
in regard to our battery and ourselves, which
you were good enough 10 print, which gives
me courage to trymy chance again. The bat
terry is iu the Sd corps which has had its full
share of fighting and hard work, but of that
will not write, for the newspaper correspon-
dents have long since filed the papers with
the particulars OF each fight and hard march.
The Corps is under the command Of Maj. Gen.
French, whom We like and know him to be
brave aud gallant officer. To the artillery he
is especially acceptable for he knows our
wants. and is always ready to aid us in getting
what we require. The battery needs men
more than all else, as yet having only received
eight recruits. We hope and trust that the
State will not forget us, and thereby compel us
TO go through another campaign not two-thrds
manned as we did the last. We are very COM
fortably encamped about one mile North OF
the Station in small pine grove. We have
built for ourselves huts Of logs and covered
them with our shelter tents, usually four huts
together, each hut has fireplace built OF
stones, stuck together with Virginia mud OF
which there is any amount yet on hand. Our
rations are good of the kind and sufficient in
quantity The worst point of our location is
the scarcity of wood, which we have to draw
about two miles, that taken in connection with
.I.o e nyrb nd ri Iufv Eoar,
US pretty busy. Already nineteen of us have
re-enlisted as veterans, and as many more at
least WILL the first of nextmonth. Our trou-
bic now is that we do not get the promised fur
Tough AS soon as we expected, but expect to
get home the first of February. On the whole
we are getting along very comfortably since
we got our huts completed and the winter is
fast leaving us. Our health is first-rate; no
sick. We are all old soldiers,and have become
accustomed to the climate and the privations
which, we of course, must endure. The bat
terry has been for some time past, under the
command of 1t. Kimball, Captain Robinson
being in command of the Artillery Brigade of
the Sd Corps and Chiefof Artillery. 1t. KIM
ball and 1t. Haynes, are the only officers with
the battery; both are intelligent, and energet-
ic young men and make good officers. We
should like TO get home once more and sec
onr friends, and enjoy tho comforts of Maine
home, but as no furloughs are granted only
to veterans, large portion viii have to wait
until next winter. A stray copy of the Press
now and then is sent from home, from which
/ learn that you are successful and fighting
valiantly.
Yours, SERGEANT.

Important from North Carolina.

NEwBERN, N. c.. Jan. Is.
The wholesale CONSUMPTION law is creating
great CONSERVATION and excitement in the
western portion of North Carolina, where
preparations are being made to resist 1t.
Public meetings are being held, some of which
openly repudiate the Southern Confederacy
and favor a return to the Union.
The Raleigh Standard says :--"If the civil
war is to be trampled under foot by suspen-
sion OF the writ of habeas corpus, and every
abie-bodied man from is to IS placed in the
army, and the rights of States to be swept
away, the people of North Carolina will take
their own affairs into their own hands, and
proceed in convention assembled to vindicate
their liberties and privileges. They will not
submit to a military despotism. They will
not submit 10 the destruction Of their person.
al and civil rights in this or any other war
What we say we know to be so. A vast ma
iority of our people are already excited and
restless on account of the threatened en-
at Richmond, and we most respectfully warn
the members Of that body not to kindle a
flame which no effort can extinguish Pass
those measures and the people OF North Car
DINA will rise up in their majesty and assert
their sovereignty. There is no power to pre-
vent them from doing this, and voc to the
official character who shall attempt to turn
the arms of the Confederate soldiers against
the people OF. this State. North Carolina will
not be the slave of either the Congress at
Richmond or Washington. She is this day as
she has been from the first, the Keystone of
the Confederate arch. If that stone should
fall the arch will tumble"

The convention of the friends of freedom
residing in the slave states, originally called
for the sth Of January, it is now definitely an
nounced will be held at Louisville, Ky, on
the 22d Of February, the time having been
changed in order TO permit more cordial I'M
Outstanding between those who concur in the
necessity OF adopting freedom policy. The
call for the convention maintains that the
only way to destroy the rebellion is to destroy
slavery; TO leave the canse OF revolt untouch-
ed, TO breed other rebellions and enkindle
hereafter constant animosities, ready, as the
present has done, to appeal for solution to the
arbitrament Of civil war, would be national
suicide. The call continues:
The effects of such course upon the sew
eral states would be even more disastrous. an
tagonizing them against each other, necessa-
rily, from the presence of that institution.
around which would cling so many memories
OF past conflict, and laying waste their fields,
depopulating their villages, making all ten
ures of life and property utterly insecure in
the subsequent strife fol supremacy that
would result between different classes of the
community. Hence it is that an insistance
upon freedom policies, both national and
state, presents ltseH as The supremest duty of
the hour-a duty not to be subordinated 70
any theory of the past or any hesitancy of
The present. Indeed, the making of such an
issue in the reconquered territory and in those
slave states which have adhered to the Union
is one of present selfpreservation TO them, as
has been amply demonstrated by the atroci-
ties perpetrated, under the name of guerrilla
warfare, throughout Tennessee, Arkansas.
Missouri, Maryland and Kentucky, and de-
mands promptitude of action coincident
with the distress entailed by the mere exis-
tence of slave system in our midst. Chan
yes which, IN other days and for other reasons
might well have assumed gradual character,
now find in the perils Of the times no excuse
for delay, but every Indictment TO an imme-
date corrective.

sD-Gov. Lewis, of Michigan, in his annual
message, speaking of national affairs, says;
believing, as We sincerely do, that the
government is in the right, that it is fighting
in holy and just cause, that duty demands
OF us action and sacrifice in its behalf, that ef-
forts to patch up temporary peace or obtain
it by concession to traitors, are not only dis
honorable but tends TO protract the war and
make it more expensive and dangerous-we
hope to see Wisconsin unite all her energies,
without distinction of party or sect, in prose-
cutting the war with the utmost yigor. Let us
sustain the government and prosecute the
war with will and determination that shall
carry the conviction to the minds OF the trail
tors that obedience to the legally constituted
authorities is the only course left to them;
that our goyernment must be respected"

GEs.SHEPLEY.-The Press and Argus, some
weeks since, published an article in regard TO
charges said to have been made against Gen.
Shepley. We were surprised at the time that
anybody In this city, who knew the General,
should admit such statements, yet we felt that
time would prove the falsity Of the charges.
1t seems now that the Press and Argus are
ashamed Of it, and are trying to dodge and
excuse it.
1t impossible to conceive the motive which
should prompt such paragraph as the above.
which we clip from last evenings Courier.
No word has appeared in our columns prejudi-
eial to Gen. shepley, except about three lines
which came 10 the night by telegraph, and
which the writer in the Courier very well
knows we we're not responsible for; and even
that item we took the earliest opportunity to
discredit. Our neighbor is welcome 10 all he
can make by such foul Misrepresentation.

On the 9th he was attacked by the forces of
