Major Littler, Acting Assistant Provost
Marshal General of the State, has been COM
missloned by the Secretary of War as 1t. Col.
'for faithful and meritorious service" The
Colonel is an efficient and popular officer.
There are one thousand men in camp here.
Among these are two full companies for the
First Heavy Artillery, five for the Fifteenth
regiment, and the Second company raised in
this State for Hancock's corps. of these,
a full company for the Heavy Artillery, was
raised in the town of Oxford Men are COM
ing in every day. The quota of Winthrop,
which but very short time ago had none en-
listed for it, is now full, and was recruited
from its own citizens exclusively.
Col. Littler is organizing post band at
Camp Coburn of men who are on permanent
duty there. 1t is to consist of eighteen pieces
and will undoubtedly be good band, as the
Colonel does everything We Il which he under
takes.
Subscriptions for the relief of our soldiers
who have been wounded in the late battles,
are coming in well. Bath and Augusta have
already raised eight hundred dollars each,
hockland, nine hundred, Belfast, Bangor and
many other places, sums of equal proportion,
The Governor leaves on Monday for Washing
ington, to look after our suffering boys and
will take the funds with him, SO that thew will
receive the benefit of the full amount subscrib.
