The health of the regiment was pretty good.

Lincoln. Tlie train consisted of twelve ears.
It arrived here about 8 o’clock A. M., aud left
at 5 o'clock P. M.
understand that the 25th Maine
Regiment cannot get away on Monday next,
and that its departure may be delayed for a
day or two in consequence of the non-arrival
bf arms and of clothing. The three regiments
will probably all leave next week.

Portland recruits at Camp Iaacolu. The city
bounty was paid to them by Henry P. laird.
Esq., City Treasurer. The men are making
all the necessary preparations for their depart

the Provinces they have met with the public
favor.
AccniExi*.—While Mr. Win. Cobb, of Saco,
was at work on the new scboolbouse yester
day afternoon, a number of heavy planks fell
from one of the stagings, some eight or ten
feet, and struck him in such a manner as to
inflict several severe wounds upon his head
and face, and fractured the right shoulder
blade. Dr. Lamb dressed the wounds, and
last evening Mr. Cobb was quite comfortable.
A Warm Dat.—Yesterday was the warm
est day in the month oi October that lias been
experienced by any of our oldest inhabitants.
In the forenoon, iu the shade, the mercury
ranged at 84 to 86. and two degrees higher in
more exposed localities. Between 2 and 3
o'clock P. M., iu a (Mr exposure, the mercury,
by Farenhcit. reached 00 degrees—a higher
point it is believed than is on record in any
October on the sea coast of Maine.
23T“At a special meeting of the Board of
Aldermen, held yesterday allernoon. Alderman
Larrabse was appointed to confer with the
Board of Overseers of the Poor in regard to
the removal of offal from buildings in the city.
There is no person now,whose duty it Is to re
move the offal, and it is intended to place the
matter in charge of the Overseers of the Poor,
until the ordinance relating to the matter can
be amended.
New Ice House.—We notice that the Port
land Ice Company, of which Hon. F. O. J.
Smith is President, is erecting a large build
ing *>c the inception of ice the ensuing w in
ter, on Ubbysi Wharf, near the Basin of the
Cumberland aud -Qxford Canal. The bouse

Death at Camp Abraham Lincoln.—
Mr. Joseph Porter, of Co. D, 27th Maine Reg
iment, died at the Hospital at Camp Abraham
Lincoln Tuesday, uged about 30. He belonged
to Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, and was a substi
tute for some drafted man. The disease was
congestion of tlie lungs. He was buried yes
terday afternoon in this city, Ills company per
forming the last funeral rites for tlieir late
comrade. This is the second death in the
Hospital since the organization of the camp.
In this connection, we would refer our readers
to the card of Docl True, Acting Surgeon of
the Brigade, in another column.
Mercantile Library Lectures.—Ar
rangements are bdng made by the Mercantile
Library Association for a brilliant course of
lectures the coining season. Engagements
have been effected with Hon. Edward Everett,
who will deliver the introductory lecture, Rev.
Dr. Bellows, Rev. Mr. Milburn, the blind
preacher, Rev. H. Ward Beecher, who will
give two lectures, Rev. Mr. Bolles, of this
city, Rev. Dr. Hedge, and others. The Di
rectors of the Association arc determined that
the course shall be full up to the popular feel
ing.
The lecture on Monday, by Mr. Gough, is
independent of the course. Those who w ish
to hear this popular lecturer, should purchase
their tickets in season, as no more w ill be sold
than the hall can comfortably accommodate.
The Defaulter.—The case of Lieut.
Carpenter, mentioned in our issue of yester
day, on investigation, does not appear near so
bad as has been reported. It appears that
Lieut. C. has acted towards the International
Bauk with honorable motives. At the time he
drew his check on the Sub-Treasurer at Bos
ton for $0000,which was cashed at the Interna
tional, he had standing to his credit oil the
Sub-Treasurer’s books upwards of $22,000.
But disjiatclies had I wen received by the Sub
Treasurer from Augusta, stating that fears
were entertained that Lieut. C. was a default
er, and, therefore, the Sub-Treasurer refused
to honor the check. It is alto said that all the
deficiency there is, amounts to about $2000,
which Lieut. C. says he lias lost in some unac
countable manner. The bills which he re
ceived from tlie International Bank had not
been touched, and the packages were un
broken. They are now in the hands of Capt.
Gardiner, U. S. A., at Augusta.
£.y"W little town of Wbitiwyvjlle, in
Eastern Maine, gave 13 Republican iniyority

articles received by the Washington Sanitary
Commission, lately, was a good and patriotic
old lady’s tribute, to he laid on the altar of
her country, bearing this inscription:

' _
Corinth, Oci. .y
The correspondent of the St. Louis Demo
crat has tlie following details ol the buttle at
! Corinth on the morning of the 3d. Our out
I posts were attacked by the enemy in force
: about six miles north-east of Corinth, and be
| fore nine o’eloek the engagement became gen
i eral. and a fierce ami sanguinary battle w as
fought. Our men under Koreeranz stisKl up
j manfully, and fought with great coolness and
bravery, but regiment alter regiment and brig
I ade alter brigade ] muled in upon us, amlgpe
\ were Ibreeil slow ly backward, tlgliling desj^r
ately. The rebels pushed forward with deter
mined obstinacy, and held every fool ol their
advantage ground. They outflanked our infe
rior force, and obliged us to tall back still fur
ther to prevent this movement tVom being ac
complished. The enemy w ere now inside our
breastworks, pushing u< backward* towards
the town, when the darkness put an end to the
lighting foe tile day.
During the day’s light our loss was heavy,
but that of tile enemy must have largely ex
ceeded ours. Three pieces ol the first Missou
ri battery wen- captured, after having stood
for hours before the enemy’s fire.
Brig. Gen. Ilacklenian tell mortally wound- I
ed at the head of his men, and the same even- |
ing Geo. Oglesby w as shot ill tile breast.— |
' About four o'clock on the morning of the
! fourth, the enemy opened briskly on the town
j with shot and shell. Our batteries replied,
j and for an hour or more a heavy cannonading
j w as kept up. At the expiration of that time
j two rebel guns had been disabled, and shortly
i after daylight their battery of seven guns was
i captured.
A portentous quiet soon occurred, and it j
[ by the enemy. The Western sharpshooters, ;
under Col. Burke, were ordered forward as ]
skirmishers to feel the enemy. At half past
nine they met him three quarters of a mile in
advance of our line of battle, advancing rapids
; Iv in heavy columns upon the town, luinidi
ately a murderous tire was opened on this
heavy line by our skirmishers, who slowly be
gan to retire, returning the lire of the enemy
with effect. The woods seemed alive with reb
els, and it appeared impossible for this gallant
regiment to escape destruction in their retreat
over tlie three quarters of a mile which inter
vened between them and ourtemporary works i
of defence. For a few minutes tlie engage- I
inent bee^ne general. Our batteries opened a
destructive tire on the exposed ranks of the
rebels, mowing them down like grass. Their ;
slaughter was frightful, hut with unparalled
daring recklessness, they pushed impetuously ;
forward. They charged our works desperate- j
ly, broke our lines of infantry, and captured a
small fortification, in which a battery of tlie !
1st Missouri was planted.
All seemed lost, ami a temporary panic
seized our men, and the rebels once more
marched into the streets of Corinth, but new
batteries o|iened on them, and our men, under
tlie direction of a few courageous officers, and
stimulated by their example, fought desper
ately. and the advance of the enemy was
checked.
They wavered, and then fell back. Our lost
battery was regained, and once more it hurled
destruction into their ranks.
Tlie day was saved, and the euemy in full
retreat.
Our loss was comparatively small during
this fearful charge. That of the euemy was
full twenty to our one killed.
Among tlie rebel killed left on the Held were
Brig. Gen. Bodger* of Now Orleans, Colonel
and acting Brigadier Johnson of Miss.,
amt another colonel commanding a brigade,
whose name was not learned.
Tlie enemy were commanded by Van Dorn,
Price and Villiplque, with their respective ar
my corps, which swelled their forces to fifty
thousand.
It is impossible yet to give a list of tlie
casualties.
Our proportion of the officers killed is
thought to be large. We lost but four take.u
prisoners.

FIGHT NEAR SAVANNAH, GEORGIA.
Fortress Monroe, Oct. 7.
Commissioner Ould, of the rebel Govern
nient.reluses to exchange the prisoners of State
belonging to Virginia, on the ground that they !
were taken on the territory belonging to the
Confederacy.
The Richmond Examiner of the 6th con
tains the military exemption art passed Sept.
16th. which exempts police for sections of the
country haring a dense negro population, edi
tors, and such help as they require in their
business, employees of transportation and tel- i
egraphic couqianies, ministers, physicians,
shoemakers, tanners, blacksmiths, wagon mak
ers, millers, superintendents and employees in
hospital.-, and wool, cotton and paper mill em
ployees on Government works, overseers of
plantations, and one man to every five hundred
head of cattle. The exemption act passed
April 21st is repealed.
The Examiner says:—Congress lias serious
business on its bauds. The subject of reve
nue and finance is now before it. The bill
provides that every citizen shall give to the
Government one-fifth of his gross income, and
receive in acknowledgment eight per cent,
bonds. Of all loans, the eight per cent, is tbe
worst of all taxes. Twenty per cent, gross
income is most oppressive. By this project.
Congress strikes a heavier blow at our credit
than the public enemy. The Government lias
committed financial blunders enough to ruin
its credit if the confidence of the public were
not so well supported.
Congress has postponded adjourned to the i
13th.
Patrick McGowan and John Keleliar were !
allot at Camp Lee on Saturday tor desertion.
Owen McGuire received Ally lashes same day
for the same offence.
The Examiner lias a despatch, dated Savan- j
nnh. Oct. 4th, which says:—The Federal* at
tacked our batteries on St. Johns first, and !
after an hour's engagement were repulsed.
Ihe Federal* subsequently landed at Green
ville Point in force, and march a mile to the |
mi <mij iMin-ry, wnen* me ngui com- ,

FROM ARKANSAS.
Numbers and Encampments of the Enemy.
Removal of State Records.
IIki.kxa, Ark., Oct. 4.
A correspondent of the Missouri Republican
says:
We have late and very reliable intelligence
from the rebel forces in this State, which are
regarded by military men here as worthy of
confidence. It is as late as the 18th and 22d
ult., and seriously modifies many reports we
have heard, some of whieli have reached the
country.
According to this information the rebel
forces in Arkansas number, and are encamped
as follows:
Gen. Hindman, at Austin, 35 miles north of
Little Rock, with 5000 men and one battery.—
Gen. Roan at White Sulphur brings, near l'inc
lllutls, on the Arkansas river, 50 miles south
east of Little Rock, with 5000 men, two regi
ments of whom are conscripts, one unarmed;
also a Texan regiment, and one battery con
sisting of three fi-poundcm,uew, one 12-poiind
er, brass, and one seige piece mounted. Gen.
McRea is on the Arkansas river, 30 miles
northwest of Napoleon. Gen. Rains is at
Cross Hollow, with a reported force of from
400o to 5o00 men, mostly conscripts. Gen.
Holmes, Commander-In-Chief of all the forces,
is at Little Rock, with about 2000 men and two
batteries of 2 and 3-pounddrs, and two t itled
0-pounders and 2-pounder howitzers. Gen.
McBride is at Batesvlile, w ith about 3000 men,
only 1500 of whom are effective.
Most of their cavalry force is dismounted,
and at present it is not believed they have
more than 2300 cavalry in the State.
At Arkadelphla, 80 or 100 miles southwest
of Little Rock, the rebels manufacture muni
tions of war, and have removed there all the
State records and papers.
Though the rebel generals boast of their in
tention to iuvade Missouri, it is not believed
by intelligent men in their camps that they
intend to do so. If they save the capitol of
their Suite, it is all they desire at present, and
perhaps more than they expect.

Boston, Oct. 8.
The Democratic State Convention, held at
Worcester to-day, was fully attended. E. O.
Bailey, editor of the Boston Herald, presided.
A motion to adopt the People's ticket nomi
nated at the Faneuil Hall convention, was dis
cussed witli considerable warmth. Resolu
tions were read, pledging support in the use
of all legitimate means to suppress the rebel
lion; urging the President to stand by the :
Constitution; repudiating the meeting of the
Governors; eulogizing Gen. McClellan; smy
pathizing with the families and friends of those
who have fallen; that the province of the Gov- j
eminent is to save the Union, and not to save ;
or destroy slavery; tiiat we are opposed alike i
to secession and alxilitionism, and there can j
be no pcrmaneut Union where these exist;
tendering sympathy to the loyal men in the
border States; recommending making no nom
inations, hut expressing a willingness to unite i
with conservative men of all parties: regret
ting that the President, forgetful of his obli
gations. has issued his emancipation proclatna
tion, and protesting against it, and against the j
suspension of the writ of habeas corpus, and I
calling on tlie President to restore the trial by i
jury, and giving freedom of speech and to the ,
press. Judge Wells moved to amend by rec- I
ommending the adoption of the Faneuil Hall |
ticket. Tlie convention adjourned amid great
confusion, and without clearly leaving any
