Excursion ol the Portland Odd Fellow-*.
Yesterday morning, at 8.45 — precisely a
half hour behind the advertised time—the ex
cursion train of the Odd Fellows of this city,
left the Kennebec & Portland Kailroad depot,
bound for the new inland city ol Le wis ton.—
The train consisted of sixteen or seventeen
large cars, all packed to their utmost capacity,
with here and there an unfortunate who, un
able to Sud a seat, was obliged to content him
self with a standee birth, or with a perch up
on the arm of tome one else's friendly premi
se*. It has been our fortune to accompany
several excursion parties over the Kennebec
& Portland and the new Androscoggin roads,
and in every instance there has been a lack of
cars, and yet we doubt if the fault Is to be
charged to the management of the roads.—
The truth Is, the people have come to like ex
cursions in that direction, and are prepared to
crowd the largest number of cars that can be
pressed Into the service, and yet, when once
started the cry invariably has been, " a few
more left!" Kach excursion exceeds in num
bers all preceeding ones, and their increase
more than keeps pace with the increased ac
commodations which a reasonable foresight
deems it necessary to provide.
On the present occasion the company was
well made up. Though consisting largely of
odd fellows, each one seemed to have made
himself eren before starting, and to make sure
of avoiding even the appeurance of aiiujular
ity, the " brethren " had provided themselves
with " right and left hand supporters," of the
of order crinoline.
χ ηβ jroruatiu doiiu B\;cuiiipain^u m«c '■ .»v,ui
sion, aud did much throughout the day to add
to the attractions of the occasion. The heavy
train was drawn by a single engine as far as
Brunswick, making rather slow progress, and
laboring bard, though successfully,to overcome
the up-grades and sharp curves upon the line
of the road. From Brunswick to Lewiston a
span of engines, harnessed in tandem style,
took the train along gallantly, though on some
of the sharpest grades the double team had its
full strength tested to avoid coming to a full
stop.
Not a word need be said of the romantic
beauties of the route from Brunswick to
Lewiston. The road skirts the wild, rollik
ing Androscoggin, which is ns changable in
its appearance as an April day, no* placid
and with a surface unruffled by a single dim
ple, then laughing and skipping along over
boulders aud between ridges, and anon leap
ing over precipices, inviting the attention of
enterprizc, and reminding one of revolving
w heels, of the clatter or trip hammers and
the bur.ζ of innumerable spindles. Suffice it
to say that for a dozen miles of the way, no
more romantic, wild and attractive scenery
can be found. It is not to be wondered at,
therefore, that excursion parties over this
route should find their numbers greater than
the capacity of the rolling stock of the road.
AtLewlstou the cars discharged their living
freight into the dry and dusty streets, unre
lieved by a single shade tree. The members
of the mystic circle were received in "due
form" by their brothers of Lewiston and Au
burn, and escorted to Central Hall, which was
the headquarters for the crowd,and where those
so disposed had an opportunity to indulge in
the "mazy waltz," with the mercury up among
the nineties and in a city where the Maine
Law Is enforced with all reasonable vigor.
At the DeWitt House—the principal hotel
in the city and one of the best in the State—
kept by that prince of caterers, Ikaac J.
CAJtu, Esq., large numbers found that comfort
and those substantial luxuries which are sought
for in vain in a common pic-nic basket, espec
ially when no grove is near to lend its friendly
shade and the stomach joins with an asking
head iu demands for something more tasty
than "a bite of cold snap."
Mr. Carr was overrun, his tables constantly
crowded, and though large numbers found in
bis house all they could expect, many no doubt,
from inability to And accommodations, came
away impressed with the Idea that Lewiston
0 is "no great shakes."
By the politeness of J. S. Βλκεη, Esq., the
Provost Marshal for that district, we were
furnished with a nag and buggy, and while
hundreds broiled in an August sun, we skirted
the eity aud neighboring town of Auburn, see
ing the "lions" and pitying those who could
And nothing else to do but to swelter in the
ucai ftuu uusk
Before five o'clock the ear» were packed for
the return, and promptly at the appointed
time our «pan of iron horses started oft, "home
ward bound," all satisfied probably, that a
crowded pic-nic excursion, in a hot day, to a
dusty and unshaded city, is one ot the most
unpromising means of securing a day's com
fort. On the other side of the river, in Au
burn, groves abound, and shade is cheap, and
another year, if not before, we would suggest
that excursions be directed to that point.

-jju Executive Council met yesterday, aud
^m/robably be in session a week or ten days.
Ae Order from the Provost Marshal Gen"
«1'· office, fixing the quota <>t the 5th Dis
trict at 2587 ou the present draft, has been re
called, and the number is now fixed at 21ÎHJ.
The rendezvous for the Veteran liegiments
has been Axed upon at Augusta. Only two
of the three regiments authorized by the
Secretary of War, have yet been designated—
Col. Beat's and Col. Kesscnden's. There will
be no action taken in regard to the third until
the return of our nine months regiments from
the Department of the Gulf. The 21st, 24th
and 38th regiments which rendezvoused here
are expected to arrive here about the last ol
this week or the Bret of next. They will
have an appropriate reception. The conscri|>
tion Is working steadily and quietly. Quite a
number of conscripts have been sent to the
rendezvous at Portland and more are coming
In every day.
Some towns, prompted probably by the ex
perience of last year, have moved in the mat
ter of getting a reduction of their number to
be drafted. For the credit of the State I am
happy to say that ouly a very few have made
the attempt. There is no probability of any
of them obtaining a reduction on the present
draft, as all claims yet brought forward do not
afford any reason why the reduction asked
should be made before another duift, if at all.
The Court Martial resumes its sittings here
this morning, having quite & number of cases
on the docket. Several of them are the trial
of substitutes for drafted men, who had ob
tained their money and then deserted. îîo
doubt they will be taught a salutary lesson.
Yours truly, IIkliok.
Maine Female Camp Xareei.
We give Mow extracts Iroin letters re
ceived here from the two female nurses o' the
Maine Camp Hospital Association, written
since the last battle at Gettysburg.
These letter» show that experienced female
nurses are gladly welcomed by our sick
soldiers, and that they can reach a class of
persons who need their aid before they can
be transported to the regular hospitals. Fe
male nurses from other States were also in the
Held, and we hope our State will continue to
render the same aid this year to these field
nurses as was rendered last, to wit: defray
their espouses of transportation, 4c., for they
ask no further compensation for their benevo
lent and praiseworthy duties:

"Our journey here wasqulte a novelty in the
way of travel. We changed cars at Uauover
station which we reached al 1 o'clock at night,
and thirty men and women were crowded in
to a narrow entry and on the stairs. Of course
rest was out of the question; as we were
grou|>cd there we might have been a subject
for an artist. About 4 o'clock A. M.,some of
our party left lor llarrisburg, which gave us
a little more room ; and Mrs. Sampson (of
Hath) who was the moving spirit of all pres
ent, proposed making tea. So opening lier
trunk which seems to contain an inexhausti
ble supplv of good things, she lighted the
spirit lamp, and using her trunk for a table,
she made lea lor some weary wayworn travel
ers, which she served out with crackers aud
cookies ; part of our company were soldiers
on guard.
The. tea somehow seemed to loosen our
tongues, for we were more voluble after it.
We concluded then to make our toilets; tak
ing the dipper which we had used lor a water
pail, we tilled it at the pump and poured from
it on each others heads. We then seated our
selves on the lloor and brushed our h*ir. At
nine o'clock in the morning we lelt m cattle
curs lor this place, seated on the boxes and
valeses, which were our only scats. Our
Maine soldiers seemed very much pleased to
see us, esi>eciaily those of our own places; hut
many of tliein were strangers. They are in
the best of spirits.

been assisting Mrs. Sampson in the distribu
tion οΓ hers,of which she lias quite a quantity.
1 wish those who send such nice things, could
see how much they are appreciated; it would
repay them 1 think lor all their labors and sac
rifice. There seems to I* a need for every
thing that is sent. You must not wonder if
my sentences are somewhat disconnected as
there is so much here to divert and^distract
one's mind. * * * . ·

Wasiiikutox, July 27.
My Dear Mr*. E.—* · · · · Y ou in
quired where 1 was when you were writing
your last letter, if you have seen one, writeu
by me to Miss Fox, bearing the same date, you
will perceive X was preparing to go to the bat
tlefield. On the ;td, 1 left for Gettysburg but
after leaving Baltimore we were detained twen
ty-four hours on the road on account of a col
lision, which took place eight or ten miles
above, and as we did not know what was
wrong we were very anxious, three trains were
waiting, and we liad heard that the train ahead
had been captured. Here Mrs. 11. came
up and as misery loves company, you may be
sure I was glad to see ber, for 1 then expected
to be obliged to slop the night in the car load
ed with oats, we could not leave for a moment
lest they might start, as they were wailing
orders. About 7 o'clock we started, but ou
•rriving at Westminster, found hard work to
obtaiu a conveyance to Gettysburg, a distance
of twenty-two miles. After travelling round
in the inud, succeeded in tlndiug seats in a
mail wagon. We soon began to meet the
moving army in pursuit of Lee. We meet the
12th corps, they were weary, bnt wild with
enthusiasm, cheer after cheer rent the air as
they passed us. About 3 Λ. M., we arrived in
the vicinity of the Hospital and waited till
daylight. On consulting Dr. Letteruian I
thought it advisable to couflne my services to
the fall corps, ^s our men there, had suffered
severely, and 1 learned that there were ladies
going u> all the other corps. On arriving I
found thein in a pitiable condition,n.any of them
destitute of food and clothing, among them
Capt. Ii. of the 20th with l'J of his men, the
greater part mortally wounded. Through
some delay my supplies had not arrived, how
ever 1 took a team and made a circuit of many
■niles, persuading the farmers to contribute
bread, butttr, chickens and pies, as they had
large quantities prepared to teU to our boys,
but 1 talked them out of it aud made them
ijine to me, for them and returned with as
much as ιην carriage would contain. One |K>or
fellow of the 20th sent for me and said, '"I
want you to write to my mother aud tell her
that J die for my country and f Iliad another
life to live 1 would freely give it-" I asked
him if be suffered much, he said,"oh! no, no,
1 am going to my Saviour, tell lier 1 was
20 years oid." Many like scenes occurred.
After remaining there a week, 1 learned they
were fighting near Boonesboro and 1 felt it
my duty to go as all expected there would
be a hard battle there. All the Associations
had uow gathered here, with a vast amount of
supplies, the tire company of Baltimore,
brought $7.000.00 worth, Adams' Kxpress
brought a vast amount, the Christian Com
mission did nobly, and the .Sanitary were
actively engaged. 1 received from the Chris
tian Commission and Fire company, all the
supplies, more than my own, that 1 required.
1 went to Boonesboro', found 150 wouuded,
stopped with them two day*, until they were
all brought to Frederick. Here, from a Lieu
tenant of the 6th Maine, I learned that Capt.
F. of tlie 6th had been, with his company, on
a skirmish on Sunday, and lost one man. As
lie did not know his name,and I had not heard
from my son since the baille, I was of course,
(ci j aiiAii'uoi ucai nmg «.nnv me tui jra wîw
aliout to cross the river, I went there anil
fourni that he had l>een in the hottest of the
skirmish, hut wat not hurt. They killed thir
ty, took thirty-nine prisoners, ainong them
a Captain and two Lieutenants. The army
was then across at lierlin, and as I was told
by officers high in commaud, that there would
prohahly be a battle soon, near Culpepj>er, or
GordimsviUt, I have returned to Washington
to go in that direction. I intend to leave to
moriow or the day fallowing. · · »

" I called on Dr. Lettcrman, who grantod
me every facility for bringing supplies to the
army. Purchased chickens to make broth for
the sick and wounded before their removal.—
Took a colored woman and a soldier to assist
me in carrying the broth and loaves of bread
down to the station, but there 1 found 6t*l sick
ami wounded lying in all directions. Poor
boys? 1 went about giving two or three
spoonsfull apiece to them, till it was all gone.
A man came to tell me that C'ol. Lake man,
of the 3d, was sick in an ambulance, I could
not leave, but sent him some of the broth, aud
lie tent me word how much it strengthened
him. Soon Mr. Hayes came and informed me
that Mr. Bos worth's son was among the
wounded; was very sorry that the broth was
all gone; 1 hastened to him; found him very
cheerful: had only some cakes and crackers
left, which I gave him and a handkerchief.
It was with great difficulty that I obtained a
sent on the engine, as the cars were filled to
their utmost capacity. On arriving at Wash
ington. 1 was advised by Col. Kucker, to take
my ambulance to the ' front,' in connection
with a strongly guarded train that was just
leaving. !Slx barrel* of supplies having arriv

Atlantic ér St. Lawrence Railroad.
Annual Meeting.
The annual meeting of the stockholders of
the Atlantic & St. Lawrence Railroad was
held at the old City Hall yesterday, St. John
Smith, Esq., President of the corporation, pre
siding.
The annual reports of the Directors, Treas
urer and Commissioner of the Sinking Fund,
were presented. We quote from the report of
the Directors :
The Lessees, are putting into the track, a
large amount of new rails, and sleepers this
season.
The bridges upon the line are believed to be
in good order.
U nder the authority of the vote of the Stock
holders at their last annual meeting, your Di
rectors have entered into a supplemental con
contract with the Lessees of the road, by
which for the term of ten years, the rent upon
the share capital, is reduced to four per cent,
per annum. They have also provided iu the
same contract, for the liquidation for the ar
rears of rent.
An article has been inserted in the warrant,
calling th«l annual meeting, and that they may
act understanding^, the articles in the agree
ment bearing upon the subject are inserted,
and are as follows, being the third and fourth
articles.of the contract:—
Λ ktici.k 3.—That for all arrears of rent on tho

Îer cent, per annum, from the 31st day of December,
8G2, for the period often years, with hall-yearly
coupons attached for the payment of sacli interest,
and the sums payable in respect thereof, shall bo pro
vided by the Lessee Company in addition to the sums
herein before mentioned ; but if, by the redemption
of any portion of the City of Portland mortgage
bonds by means of the sinking fund, or otherwise,
the amount of annual interest on these bonds shall

toward increasing the interest on such certificates of
indebtedness, up to six per cent, per annum.
Article 4 — If, at the expiration of such period
of ton years, the I>essor Company shall have obtain

verted into stock at the rate or six per cent, per an

stock or renewed certificates, shall also be provided
by the Lessee Company. Hut inasmuch as questions
have arisen respecting the authority of the Directors
of the Atlantic and St. Lawrence Kail road Company
under the resolution of their stockholders, adopted
August 6, 1962, to agree to the foregoing arrange
ments for the liquidation and conrer-ion of the ar

The interest upon the oily loans to this com
pany, and upon the mort gage bond» has been
provided, and paid as due and called for.
We are happy to state that the lessen have
resinned payment to the linking funds, having
paid six months' instalment, aud given us as
surance that all future payments shall te
promptly met.
The report on the Sinking Fund we gave in
our account of the proceedings of the City
Council, published yesterday :
A ballot was then taken for nine Directors
for the ensuing year, and the following gentle

! as may at any time become necessary to carry into
effect "the convention of the certificates of indebted

The meeting then adjourned sine die.
Tub Tknth Maine.—The loth Maine
regiment, whose time is out has proposed to
the city authorities of Baltimore, says a cor
respondent of the New York l'ost, that it will
recruit it» ranks at home up to the standard,
and go into the Held as a Maryland regiment
if Baltimore will grant them a bounty, and
after the war the survivors will settle in Ma
ryland.
The above we clip from an exchange. It
has a mere shell of truth, but contains much
that is lalse. The 10th Maine has made uo
proposition to Baltimore, but propositions
have been made to the officers front Baltimore,
accompanied with liberal offers ol bounty.
The poposition may be accepted if the Vet
eran regiments are not raised in this State,
liecause the officers and many of the men of
the 10th arc determined to go into the Held,
and help fight out the war. The suggestion
that after the war Is over they will settle In
Maryland, ix all fustian.
