COM M UN IC AT I ON 8. Maine Sixth—Official Report. The following is the report of Col. Burnhnm, of the “Maine Sixth,” to the Adjutant General of this State: Headquarters 6th Me. Yolr., 1 Camp No. 22. Ill the Held, July 10. John L. Hodsdon, Adjutant General: Sir: I beg leave to submit the following re I>ort of the part my command took in the ac tion of the night of tile 27th of June, near Garnett's House, Va. At an early hour in the morning of that day, I was directed to pro ceed, with my regiment, to the front, near the pickets' line, where a working party was en gaged, throwing up an entrenchment. Arriv ing on the ground, I was ordered, with my reg iment, to take up a position a short distance in the rear of the earthworks, on the right, near a piece of woods. In front of the earthwork was a large level Held, at the up|>er end of which the enemy had planted his batteries. A short distance in the rear of our position was a deep ravine, on the opposite side of which a battery of heavy siege guns had beeu placed. masked from the enemy* view by a belt of tree*. About 9 o’clock A. M. the enemy ap peared in force, on the left of onr position, a* If preparing for an attack. Upon this, the working party, and all the force supporting it, except tile 1st Brigade, of which my regiment forms a part, was withdrawn to the other side of the ravine. My regiment, with the rest of the Brigade, was posted on the edge of the wood* before mentioned, on the right, with or ders to hold our position at all hazards. At 10 o’clock A. M. the enemy opened lire from his artillery, directed principally at ihe woods where we lay, and at the heavy battery, which had, in the meantime, been unmasked, bv fell ing the Uees In front. This battery immedi ately replied, throwing it* Are directly over our heads, and, after an hour's rapid tiring, completely silenced the enemy's guns, and forced them to retire out of range. During this artillery duel 1 lost two men killed, and one wounded. My loss would have been much greater if the men had not been protected greatly by the conformation of the ground.— After this all was quiet, until near sunset, when the enemy again opened his batteries, and commenced shelling furiously; but, as before, the superiority and accuracy of our guns, soon compelled them to desist and retire. In the front was a narrow strip of wheat-field, slight ly elevated in the center, which separated the woods where we lay. from a similar piece on the opposite side. This Held was perhaps one hundred yards wide. It was quite dark in the woods when a few shots from the enemy, fol lowed by a volley along our whole line, bro’t every one to his (feet. The attack, although expected,came very suddenly, but did not tind us unprejiared. The tire was instantly re turned, and with effect, as afterwards ascer tained. The enemy advanced a short distance from tlie woods, anil after nearly an hour's rail id exchange of fire, silently withdrew. This was a singular combat iu many respects. No enemy could be seen, and their presence was manifested only by the flash and roar of their gluts, and by the whistling of their bullets, as they tore through the trees over our heads.— My men, duridg the short time they were en gaged, expended, on an average, tifty rouuds of ammunition. Many of the guns became useless by means of foulness. In consequence of this, and want of ammunition, we were re lieved by other troops, and arrived in camp about 1 o'clock A. M., on the morning of the 28th. The following is a list of casualties during the engagement: (‘apt. U. C. Uray, A, wounded slightly in foot. L. It. Earrabec, A, in head. E. C. Merrill, A, iu leg. E.

Among the important measures passed by Congress at its session just closed, was the Act establishing the new “Department of Ag riculture,” at Washington. President Lincoln, in his first annual Mes sage, recommended the establishment of an independent Bureau for this great interest, and the Secretary of the Interior, in his first Re port urged the maintenance of such a Depart ment, separate and distinct from any other Bureau. Formerly, the agricultural interest was managed as a subordinate branch, con trolled by the Patent Office, and in charge of a clerk, only; by the passage of the late act of Congress, an entire new Department is author ized, and Hon. Isaac Newton, of Pennsylvania, has been appointed comissioner, and chief ex ecutive officer, by the President, Mr. Newton brings to his high position pe culiar talents for this place. His practical and thorough acquaintance with the agricultural wants and interests of the country, and his enlarged experience in matters pertaining to this important subject, render his acceptance of the appointment especially fortunate to the Administration, while it proves highly satis factory on all sides, to the great community of American farmers and horticulturists, who will be beneflttcd by this long needed and im portant auxiliary of the national governmeiiL Richard C. McCormick, Esq., of New York, nas own oeiwuru c made to join their regiments.” All that can be done by the authorities of the State will he done to this end. Tiie Maj. Gen. further requests that no ofli cer who ltas resigned from itis army, lie com missioned in another regiment unless furnish- j ed with a special recommendation to that effect from the commander of his division or army corps. II. W. Cunningham of Belfast, has been ap pointed Major of the tilth regiment. Sergeant Theodore Lincoln, ,Ir., of Dennys ville, of 0th regiment, has been promoted to the captaincy of Co. “F.” Capt. Lincoln, al though a man of marked intelligence and mer it, and an influential man in his county, enlist ed as a private soldier, am! lias been through all the hardships and exposure of the war in the ranks. The promotion has been well won, and his numerous friends will be glad to hear of it. Col. H. G. Staples of the 3d regiment, arriv ed Monday night from the army, sick. Skirmisher. Grand Rally at Augusta. At a meeting of the citizens of Augusta, held in Meonian Hall, Tuesday evening, over which Mayor Caldwell presided, it was voted to advise the city government to give a bounty of one hundred dollars independent of the bounty by the State. At the close ot this meeting, the jieople as sembled in front of the Stanley House, where the Sixteenth Regiment was drawn up. The street was crowded; the balconies and windows within hearing were tilled w ith ladies. Gov. Washburn then addressed the crowd, in his usual happy and patriotic strain, urging upon the people the urgent necessity of the times, calling upon them to rally to the defence of the stars aud stripes. The Governor was severe upon treason and its sympathizers. The Governor was followed by Gen. How ard. who was received with a perfect storm of applause. He was terribly severe upon North ern secession sympathizers, and said he had heard no expressions of treason since he left Washington, until his ears were pained by hearing it in the capital of Maine,the beautiful city of Augusta. It is too true that there are a few miserable, contemptible sneaks in Augus ta. who would be sent to Fort Warren if they were not beneath notice, but the people of Au gusta are loyal, and will respond promptly to the call of the government. The General was frequently interrupted by rapturous applause. Lew is Barker, Esq., of Dexter, was intro duced. and carried the audience by storm by his humorous sallies. He was a democrat, but not one of the modern stripe. He gave the Danaites a terrible lashing. He w as followed by B. A. G. Fuller, Esq., of Augusta, who was loyal and patriotic in his remarks. After which Hon. J. II. Rice then made a few interesting remarks. The meeting then adjourned w ith enthusiastic cheers for the Union, the President, Gen. Howard, and Got. Washburn. Augusta is awake, and her quota will be ready in a few days. Coming Dow n Stairs. Mii. Editor:—Since that eventful occasion j on which “The King of France, with twenty j thousand men, marched tip the hill and then j marched rtotrn again,” there probably has not been exhibited so remarkable a case of hasty getting down stairs as was witnessed ill the v uv nail on .nomiay evening last. me man whose name had been trumpeted all over New England for his great lilierality in offering to be one of six to furnish the State with $075, 000, after Iterating the city of Portland and her wealthy citizens, in an hour's speech, for their meanness, was fairly squelched, floored, backed down and made to skedaddle into his boots, by a lama tide challenge to cover a pal try $9000! When the challenge was made his friends and admirers prepared to cheer at his prompt acceptance; but when he flaxed out they gave “nary a cheer,” but inwardly ex claimed: “What a fall was that my country men H Aconx. Warehouse (foods under the New Tariff. The 21st section of the new Tariff act makes the follow ing provision in relation to merchan dise in IkiikI "That all goods, wares and merchandise which may be in public stores, or bonded ware house, on the Hrst day of August, 1862, may be w ithdrawn for consumption upon payment of the duties now imposed thereon by law, pro vided the same shall lie so withdraw n w ithin three months from the date of original import ation; but all goods, wares and merchandise which shall remain in the public stores or bonded warehouse for more than three months from the date of original importation, if w ith drawn for consumption, and all goods on ship board. on the first day of August 1862, shall be subject to the duties prescribed by this act: Provided, that all goods which now are,or may lie, deposited in public store or bonded ware house. alter this act takes effect and goes into operation, (August 1.) must be withdrawn therefrom, or the duties thereon paid within one year from the date of the original importa tion, but may lie withdrawn by the owner for exportation to foreign countries, or may be transhipped to any part of the Pacific or west ern coast of the I'nited States, at any time be fore the expiration of three years from the date of the original importation.” to Kichmond" is now the demand of all loyal men. If McClellan is kept back for lack of men he should be supplied and then required to advance. Thire can be no excuse for long standing still. The people are justly impatient and call for a forward march. LATEST BY EVENING PAPERS.

MATTERS ABOUT TOWN. Gone into Camp.—A portion of the 17th Regiment under Col. Roberts, went into camp at Island Park yesterday afternoon, Lieut. Col. Merrill commanding. A company of (54 men, under ('apt. Faunee, was received from Lewiston, which, with the company of Capt. Savage of 50 men, and that of Capt. Martin of 29 men, gives the aggregate of 143 meu in camp. Upon their arrival at the camping ground, the battallion held a dress parade, after which they were addressed in a very soldierly and patriotic manner by Lieut. Col. Merrill. Cheers were projtosed for “Gov. King, first governor of Maine,” and the “Constitution and the Union,” which were given with that en thusiasm so peculiarly characteristic of the American soldier. These being concluded, Capt. Martin proposed three cheers for Col. Roberts and Lieut. Col. Merrill, which were grateftdly acknowledged by the Lieut. Col., the Colonel being absent, sick. A charge was then made upon the lieef and bread, in which our gallant troops greatly distinguished.— Guards mounted at 5 o’clock. Lieut Jas. A. Terry of this city, is in charge of the battallion for the night, to be relieved by Lieut Mat tocks. Capt Martin returned to the city with his corp*. New Steamer “New England.”—This magnificent boat of 900 tons burthen arrived pt this port yesterday, in twenty-seven and one half hours from New York. She is to be com manded by Capt Enos Field, of this state, a gen tleman long and favorably known to this commit nlty. The New England was built under the auperintendance of Capt. J. B. Coyle, who lias made himself valuable to Portland by his effi ciency in connection with steamboat enter prises. She is put together in the most sub stantial and thorough manner, is 2:18 feet in length, and 32 feet beam, with 12 feet depth of hold, and is built of tne very best materials, being intended for heavy ocean service. Her machinery is of the most elaborate anti trust worthy nature, and Is furnished with Winter’s new patent cut-off for working the valves.— She has a 52 inch cylinder and 11 feet stroke, and is of about 350 horse power. She has ac commodations for 300 passengers, her cabins possessing every convenience for comfort that modern luxury can suggest. Connected also with the cabins we noticed two family or bri dal rooms, aud forty-two state rooms. The speed attained by this boat on her passage from New York, was of the most satisfactory na ture, averaging 13 1-2 knots per hour. After leaving New York, she encountered strong winds from N. E., and from Little Gull to Pt Judith made thirteen knots per hour against a three knot current. Tills steamer is intended to run between Boston and St. Johns, N. B., touching at Port land and Eastport, and will probably make her first trip trum thus place one week from to day. We congratulate the travelling public upon the acquisition of this vessel upon the Eastern route, and trust that the well known character of her commander may procure for her the. patronage she deserves. Although hailing from Eastport, she is owned in this city. Her stores and cabin furniture arc to be purchased in this place. Excursion to the Islands.—The pie-nic of the Spiritual Association, advertised for to day, (should the weather lie favorable,) will undoubtedly be a very pleasant aflair. The gentlemen engaged in making the arrange ments have had some experience in that line, and wo are sure that nothing on their part will be wanting to make it one of the pleasantest excursions of the season. The Bargje, which has been chartered for the occasion, will be at the disposal of the party through the day, and the spot selected is a most delightful one. Parade of tiie Cadets.—The Cadets, un der Capt. Harris, were out yesterday afternoon for exercise in field movements, and presented a very imposing appearance. A most fatiguing “double-quick” was performed around several squares of the city, and at its cessation the boys looked as fresh as if they had but execut ed the ordinary “route-stepyet aside from the utility of these exercises, it will be seen that the lads will acquire a strength of habit in performing the various mann-uvers w-hieh call for elasticity of muscle and vigorous chests. 3T- We were much pleased to notice the success attending Messrs. Duprez Green’s New Orleans Opera Troupe, at the New City Hall, last evening. The public were not only astonished hut delighted. A closely packed house rewarded the gentlemen who have thus so much contributed to the amusements of the city of Portland. A Doo in U. S. Uniform—We noticed upon one of our principal streets yesterday, a dog in a complete suit of U. S. Uniform Where was the point or pith of the joke, we confess our inability to determine. At any rate, we “couldn’t see it.” Sidewalks and Streets.—1The streets of the lower end of the town, aqd towards Back Cove arc being levelled and repaired, much to the gratification of pedestrians to and from that Burt rtf t.hp Altar Personal.—We understand tlmt Hon. W. P. Fessenden arrived home, in this city, yester day, From Washington. vr Col. Hiram Burnham, of the (itli Me. Regiment, passed through this city yesterday on a visit to his home, on a furlough of thirty days. fcyThe Washington- correspondent of the New York Post makes the following surpris ing statement. We cannot resist the belief that it is greatly exaggerated: “It is stated here, on unquestionable autlior L ity, that SO.ttOO soldiers once belonging to the Army of the Potomac are now loitering over H the free States, as well as they ever were. The President found, on his late visit to General McClellan, that 70,opu larity witli their men, and one and all have aided in this depleting process, till the sum to tal of absentees is enormous.” “That’s my Wife.”—Two of our citizens, whom we will cull A. and B., while riding out leisurely the other day, had their attention at tracted by- three ladies who were walking ahead of them; one of them excited the admi ration of A., who expatiated in w arm terms upon her tine form, beautiful ankles and grace ful gait. B. acquiesced in ail that A. said in praise of the lady, and became quite interest ed in her. When they iiad overtaken the la dies and were aide to see their faces, A. was greatly surprised to hear B. exclaim—“Thun der, that’s my wife.”—|Pawtuckct Gazette.

There is neither law or regulation for the acceptance of volunteers otherwise than for three years or during the war. This forenoon the President, Secretary of War and Maj. Gen. Halleck were long in con sultation at the War Department. For a por tion of the time Gens. Pope and Burnside were with them. Great repugnance to the idea of drafting continues to be entertained in official circles here. The impression is that the President's call for 300,000additional volunteers is already being responded to throughout the country witli an alacrity that promises to secure the whole number in less time than was recently anticipated. Tlie following is a joint resolution of Cou gress, approved July 12, 1802: Resolved, by the Senate and Ilouse of Rep resentatives of tlie United States in Congress assembled, That tlie Secretary of War be au thorized to furnish extra clothing to all sick and wounded, and other soldiers who may have lost the same by tlie casualties of war, under such rules and regulations as the department may prescribe during the existence of the pre sent rebellion. In pursuance of the foregoing regulation, it is ordered, that the Quarto!mas ter’s Department shall issue upon the requisi tion of the medical officer in charge of any hospital or depot of sick and wounded soldiers, such regulation clothing necessary to their healtii and comfort a« may be requisite to re place that lost by them by casualties of wqr, the necessity of tlie issue tola- certified Iff the surgeon, and the requisition to be approved by medical director or medical inspector of the station, such issue to be gratuitous and not charged to the soldier. The Quarter Master Gen’l will cause blank requisitions to be fur- nished to the officers of the various hospitals, I upon their application. (Signed) E. M. Stanton, Sec’y of War. Maj. Gen. Pope has issued orders to the dif ferent Generals commanding divisions in his army, corps, requiring them to seize all horses and mules in their vicinity, especially in Cul pepper Co., not absolutely needed by the in habitants of the surrounding country. They are also directed to seize all stores not abso lutelv needed for tile mntnleicitid a. -11 tence of the inhabitants. The female portion of the contrabands re cently removed from Capitol'Hill to the late camp of the McClellan dragoons, near the sub urbs of tills city, are to be made useful in the capacity of washerwomen in tin- hospitals. A large number of officers from the army of the Potomac have been found idling alxiut this city, and have been sent back to the Peninsula and made to rejoin their regiments. Steamer C. Vanderbilt arrived to-day with 511 sick and wounded. There are now 145 prisoners in old Capitol Prison. A. C. Upliani has Ix-en appointed Judge, to reside at Cape Town under Seward-Lyons treaty, for the suppression of tha slave trade. Government contract for small notes lias been awarded to National Bank Note Co. According to army orders just published, recruits for old regitnenCs will is- paid prem ium, ami for new regiments $2—to be paid either to the person bringing tin* recruit or to the recruit himself. The month’s advance pay will ix- paid under such regulations as will be established by the Paymaster Gen'I. Brig. Gen. Gilmore 1ms been ordered to re port to Gen. McClellan by the direction of the President. The Board to retire disabled army officers, will assemble at Washington on 28th inst. From Richmond. New York, July 23. Col. Charles, of the Tammany regiment, lias been released by the rebels arid lias arrived here. He saw tile iron dad ram and also a small Iron gunlxiat at Richmond. He gives a description of the former. He says the re bel government treat our wounded the same as their own. Rebel officers admit that their wounded, and ours, were dying so fast that they could not bury them. Col. Charles says tile working classes of Ridmiond are Union at heart, but the despotism of the government prohibits the discussion of polities except in the newspapers. The government was dispos ed to view tile execution of Muinford at New Orleans as murder and make a demand for Butler, and in ease ol refusal to hang General McCall. The Richmond Enquirer of the 19th, says the mortality there is very great among the wounded Union prisoners. Twenty died on Thursday night. The Enquirer says several Union regiments of infantry and a squadron of cavalry, crossed Kapidan river on the 18th. and the water hav ing risen, they will find it very difficult to keep open communication. Gen. Lovell is in Richmond demanding a Court of inquiry as to the evacuation of New Orleans. The Enquirer urges a vigorous prosecution of the war against McClellan and to invade Maryland, or go to Washington direct. Tlie latest nqxirts at Richmond indicate a stampede of the federals from Fredericksburg. A number of vessels had ascended the Rappa hannock river and other means of transporra tion was lieing used in removing the vast amount of stores at that niace. Gen.

From the Army of the Potomac. Baltimore, July 22. A correspondent of the American writing from the head quarters of the army of the Po toinoe under date of July 22d says: Things are very dull. There is no thought of Gen. McClellan being superseded. Either Gen. Meigs or Ilalleek will lie Commander-In-Chief. When the President was here Gen. McClellan recommended and urged such an appointment, but told the President not to allow liis claims to interfere writh his action. There are several thousand men here una ble to do duty, although the health of the ar my has improved since it came to James river. There is no movement whatever of troops. The officers are looking every day for the enemy to open new batteries on the other side 1 of the James river. The rebels are visible at j ail times on the opposite side, but are never interfered with unless they appear in large numbers, when our gunboats shell them out. Many resignations of officers are being sent j in, but none are granted, except those who are worthless. Great Excitement in Baltimore. Baltimore. July 23. lit City Council this afternoon, the Commit tee of Conference again reported a resolution making appropriation for bounty to volunteers. I The secessionists in the 2d branch again re jested it. A large crowd has gathered and much excitement prevails.
