About Maine Regiments and
Soldiers.

We are permitted ia. make the following
extract from private letter from Maine
State Agent at Washington. tCoi: Worces-
ter) showing the estimation III which our
Maine soldiers are hcl! by the military au-
tlorities. Speaking of what he Is about to
do on the next day, the agent says: ''it
will be transferring the mem belonging to
the lst Maine Cavalry in the hospitals of
This Department, this being done at the
instance and on the oricro Gen, Sheridan
for .'meritorions conduct in action" as
Phil. savs He reports to the Secretary of
War that the First Maine Cavalry is the
best fighting regiment he ever saw, and
that they deserve all the care the. will ever
get. The Governor directs me therefore
to find all the men of this regiment. report
them to the Scrgcon General, who has re-
ceived an order iroat Mr. Stanton to carry
out Sherdans suggestions. From one OF
our regiments you may learn OF all--they
can't be beat by "Dutchmen. Again.
speaking of the circumstances OF the at
tempted assassination OF Mr.. Seward,
s'tlterc is one fact connected with it You
may not have heard. The attendant, who
happened to be in the room at the time.
was a Maine soldier; detailed from the
Douglas Hospital for the purpose. He
threw himself upon tide back of Snrratt
and though he had not recovered from the
wound rcccivcdat til. front, not long since,
he made a brave fight, and doubtless saved
the life of the Secretary, as he gave him
time to rol, himself from the he'd upon the
floor and so escape with his life. The
maus name is Robinson and he beillngs to
the Sth Manee He will never need any
thing while he lives. Everybody'is trying
to do the most in their power for him
Maine men seem to be preferred as nurses.
An order was sent to the Medical director,
DR.. Abbott. from Secretary of War, dir
Getting him to detail the best nurses in the
Department for Mr. Seward. DR.. A. sent
an order to a Maine boy at Armory Square
Hospital, and he is now with him. He
tells me that Mr.. Seward is very nervous
and uneasy, especially i'll his sleep. While
the Secretary dreames of being muir Tered

Mail Failures.

If we should ever ask favor of the
Government of the United States-which
we hope not to do--the burden of our
PRAYER will be- that the said Government
get out of the way, and lie: the People sup
ply their urgent need of Mail facilities by
some such arrangement as now serves
them in the matter of Tclcgraphs, aEx-
presses. &C., sc. For. in all. this broad
land, there is not another so conspicuous
. humbug or failure as the United States
mail.
We mailed letter last Tuesday after

Harlem Railroad, 35 miles (say two hours)
distant. After mailing it, we took the
steamboat for Albany, spent Friday i'll that
city. returned by boat. aud then took the
next train for the village aforesaid. reach

letter.
On Friday last, no copy Of The Tribune

Harlem Road above White Plains, how
ever it NAV have been with those below
On Saturday, the Fridays paper came
along, but no Saturdays. Meantime, those
