The Maine 9TH in Portland.

WISTERPoRT, July 6, 1864.
IT, the Editor Of the Press: fW
During the passenger sojourn of the 4th
Maine Regiment in your beautiful city, week
before last, while waiting little more than q
day for the Rockland steamer, we were cour-
teously treated from several sources.
The collation. at the Depot, served up by
kind hearts, fair faces and delicate hands, was
in striking contrast with the manners and
customs" which we had become accustomed
to from the would-be ladies OF Virginia! Next,
our entire regiment was invited to musical
entertainments regret that have forgotten
the prcprietor's name, but he generously ibid
his own part in his own way" to compliment
band of returning war-worn veterans and
make their tardy hours OF waiting trip more
lightly by.
Last, but not least, the regiment was next
day treated to sumptuous free dinner by
Mr.. Isaac Barnum, at his spacious and elegant
Eating Saloon. The bill of fare was fit for a
king. 1t includea inviting substautials Of
fowls. fish and vegetables, delicious side
dishes, aud tempting dessert of pastries,
buildings and fruit; all in happy illustration
of the classic motto upon the wall:
The Portland daily press., 1864-07-11
"Edimus ut yiyamus
Non yigimus ut edamns.

While the dinner did honor to Mr.. Barnum's
head by showing theNextent of his accommo-
dations and ability to serve the public, 1t also
did greater honor to his heart. II the Bar
mum OF New York feeds the curious, the Bar
mum of Portland does more-feeds the k,ls-
Cry, May the success of the latter not be
less than that OF the former.
Having served with the regiment through
its entire term of three years, | think may
speak for II aud say, that as we Sere nearly
all entire strangers in Portland, these courte-
sizes were the more appreciated and caused US
to feel better acquainted with your Forest
City. "Honor to whom honor is due"
We expect to be mustered out, at our origi-
nal rendezvous, in Rockland, next week, and
become once more citizens.
May this wicked rebellion SO soon be sub
dued that no one of any Of these returning
regiments need ever again be called to ex-
change the garments and duties of the citizen
for those of the soldier. A4A
Truly yours, b. A. CHASE

VAN AMBURGH & Co.'s MENAGERIE.-
This mammoth Geological exhibition, which
is to be in Portland on Monday and Tuesday

and the high reputation sustained by Van
Amburgh's establishment, in connection with
the rarely of such yistations, win undoubt-
eddy result in bringing out immense throngs

rare varieties of animals comprised in this

giraffe that has been shown in this country for
years.

requested to meet there this afternoon at l-2

engage, and we have no doubt it will be en-
tered upon with determination to sustain
two or more clubs during the warmer months.

REpULsE OF THE ENEMY ON THE BLACK
WATER.
A body of Yankee cavalry, under the
command Of the notorious Col. Speare.
attempted to cross the Blackwa,er river
yesterday, at Blackwater bridge, near
| Ivor.
They were handsomely repulsed by
portion of Gen. Clingman's brave North
Carolina troops, and retired out Of sight.
I Our scouts from that section, report
this body OF cavslty as being quite form
idable in numbers-some estirp ating it as
high. as 5000. A, last accounts ,hey
were heading around towards the source
, Of the Blackwa,er'iu Prince George, and
may endeavcr to effect junction with
the enemy now at City Point We fear
that the Sussex and Prince George peo.
pie will suffer greatly from the depreda
tons Of these vandals.
The following information concerning
localities and forces is from the army cor.
respondent Of the Richmond Dispatch,
written jus, before the battles commenc.
| ed.
"Elys and Germanna Fords are on the
Rapidan River, the former 25 miles be-
low Orange Court House and Is miles
above F.edericks ksburg-the latter ford is
equi distant frcm both Orange @. II. and
fredericksburg. being about 20 miles
from each. Grants force is generally
put'down at abou, ! 90, 900 infantry. II
| consists Of the Isl, 81. 81, 9th and 9Th
corps, which have consolidated into three
corps, and placed under the command Of
Burnside, Hooker and Meade-in Burn
sides corps are 5000 negroes. From
all that | can gather, the Yankee army
comes entirely in obedience to the behest
Of power, and have little homes OF success.
Our army is hopeful and buoyan,, and
will no doubt add another 10 their many
and well earned victories"
The Ri:hmond Enquirer OF Friday
morning 6 h says
"a gentleman who arrived in the CITY
yesterday, hy the Fredericksburg cars,
reports that $4,000 of the enemy had
succeeded in crossing a, EIy's and Ger.
mamma Fords. II, as the telegraph re.
ports, Grant has only 100000 men, i, is
probable that lie selected $4,000 TO make
the attack while the remaining 10000
were eft behind to keep open his com.
mun'ca,on with Brandy Station.
From the Peninsuls We have reports
OF the landing Of large force Of the enc
my AT Gloucester Point. On Monday
morning, about 1000 arrived at West,
Point, landed on both sides of the river
aud threw out pickets.
Whilst Grant was making his attack
upon Lee, flee, OF yankee gupbos,s
started up James River. After proceed.
ing some distance up, one Of the boats
run on submerged torpedo and was
blown to pieces. This had the effect OF
stopping the fleet.
