REFORMATION OF DR.. JEwETr.-Dr. Theo-
dore H. Jewett, Of South Berwick, has re-
signed his position as Surgeon Of the ENROLL
ment Board for this district. His reslgna-
ton took effect February LIST, and the Doctor
returned to his home, for the purpose OF 70
suming the practice Of his profession.
DR.. Jewett has been a member OF the En-
rollment Board since its establishment, and
has discharged the responsible and oftentimes
delicate duties Of his o fico with great skill
and acknowledged ability-winning for him
self the respect and esteem Of oil with
whom he hos been thrown in contact. While
Surgeon of tho Board, he was perfect IL
lustration of the Fright man in the right
place."
One would suppose that the discharge OF
duties so embarrassing as those incident to,
and inseparably connected with tho Office OF
Surgeon Of the Enrolment Board, would
bring to the conscientious and impartial per-
former, liberal harvest Of curses; but Dr..
Jewett has had the rare felicity of extortins
from men Of all classes and conditions, with
whom ho has had official business, tho most
uniform and unbounded expressions OF conf
donco in his incorruptible honesty Ms man,
and severe impartiality as member Of the
Board. Standing doservcdly high in his pro-
fession, keen observer Of men. good judge
of human nature, and withal a courteous
and polished gentleman, no has been able to
distinguished between tho true and the false,
between tho good reason and the flimsy pre-
text, and TO do substantial justice to oil in
such manner rs to give offence to none.
His retirement involves n loss to the Gov.
crnmcnt Of highmindcd, capable and eff
cient officer, and hundreds who have made
his acquaintance during his term Of Office,
will regret the decision which causes HIM to
voluntarily relinquish u position, tho duties
of which he has discharged with such marked
fidelity to the Government, with credit to
himself, and to tho universal satisfaction OF
others

Guerrillas are constantly providing about our
piOhCto w ouooh w ShptutO hom ~ pVosoSs
though without much success, our boys being
too yigilant for them. Yesterday evening our
regiment was ordered out to meet force of tho
enemy said to be marching on our flank. Tho
battery attached to our brigade harncssed up
and held themselves In readiness to move Mt o
moments notice, while our regiment went out
to find the enemy, but after reconnoitering as
far as Auburn they returned without seeing o
single reb.
Recruits arc arriving almost daily, and near
ly every company now contains the minimum
number of complete company, (82 mcn).-
The maximum number Is l0l which VIC oil hope
to have soon. An erroneous impression pro-
walls in Maine with regard to the losses In our
regiment. Although we have performed o
large amount OF service, mauhing, picketing
and fighting, still moro than kalf the original
members now remain. More than two hundred
Of them have rc-enlsted and others are about
doing so.
Tho weather for week past has been de-
lightful, more like May than January.
Yours. SABRE.
