The TIN MAINE, OR CAPT. TwIrcHELL' s
BATTERY-A letter has been received from
Sergt. Howard Gould of the TIL Maine Bat
terry, 9th corps, dated Sunday evening, April
I'd. The Battery is stationed in Fort Sedge-
wick, sometimes called Fort He'll in front of
Petersburg, and was engaged all day Sunday.
Lieut.. Staples took bis section of caunoniers
over TO work some of the guns captured from
the rebels. He turned the 'big gum" which
the rebels had made SO annoying to our
troops, towards Petersburg, and fired it during
the day. The men stood up bravely to the
artillery duel, and We are happy to say not
man acds Injured.

Mr.. Editor:-Nothing since the fallof Sum-
ter, has so aroused the people Of this good
town as the late news of the fall Of Richmond.
When the news was received at the Pest OF
fee, the shouts ofeager listeners rent the air.
The village bell was rung, and the widest ex-
citemsnt prevailed among all the Union
people, while those ''of the copper persuasion"
hung their heads with shame, as they were
greeted with, How is your Uncle Jefferson9
When does he visit you2" As soon as it was
dark almost every Union house was brilliant
ly illuminated, from one end ofthe village to
the other; while the streets were filed with
people, cheering for the Union and the Army.
The copperheads buster and blow about the
same as usual, but they will soon fad that like
jeff Davis and Lee and all their other friends
their occupations gone" V Fl

Co.-This company is organized upon the
farest and most liberal principles, and the gem
tlemen composing it are well known in the
business community. Their advertisement in
another column fully sets forth the principles
upon which it is managed, and the low price
at which the stock is offered, viz: one d. liar
per share, places it within the reich Of all.

Fox THE FRoNr.-A svuad of 253 soldiers,
from Camp Berry, marched through the streets
last evening on their way to the Boston boat,
bound to the front. 1t was hne and martial
looking set. Among the men were several
stout and tall negroes. Major Rollins led off
the squad, and looked as though he felt proud
of such men. We have no doubt the gallant
Major often regrets that his ugly wound inca
pacitates him from active service in the field.
But he is the right man, in the right place, at
Camp Berry.
