The accommodation train which rans be
tween this city and Gardiner, on the Portland
& Kenneaec Railroad, has proved a iemarka-
bio success. Every train is crowded, what
ever the state OF the weather. II Is one OF
tho best paying pieces OF property on the
whole road and will, questioulese, become
more and more so, the longer It is In opera
lion. Mr.. f O. J. Il dye. the gentlemanly
conductor IN the absence Of M. Holmes, has
won hosts OF friends for himself by his uni
form courtesy and efficiency. He was former
~ conductor on the morning aud evening
train between here and your city, and is a "a
vorite with all wherever he is placed. We
could not get along without this train, aud the
great wonder il, how we ever did so.
For the benefit OF croakers, fsult-fnders
with the administration and the war, and the
chicken heated who DO not dare TO 90 to the
war because il Is going 20 their death, sub
join the following statement. showing The
number of deaths, desertions, discharges, &c.,
which have taken place in Maine regiments
mustered out Of service, during the Iull term
Of their enlistment. IL will be seen that tn
very small number OF men who returned to
the State TO be mustered out, did not comprise
al The living members of the regiments, and
that the number o! those who have actual
LAID down their lives, is very small per cent
OF the whole number Of men sent TO the reg
nents. The statement is compiled from the
muster-out rolls which are on fe 10 TIE Ad
intsnt Generals Office, and are correct. I,
will be seen that the regiments mentioned are
those which have invariably been at the front
and seen the hard work OF the war, and not
those whieh have been kept in the rear, rest
ing on their oars. and sleeping in the sun.
The Transferred" includes transfers to the
navy and regular army, re-enlIsted men, and
those recruits whose term of service rad not
expired:
