At Cedar Mountain, August 9th, its loss was 4 men killed and 9 wounded. They were in all the fighting on the Rappa- hannock under General Pope, and took prominent part at Centerville and Manassas on the 29th and 30th of August. December 27th one section of the battery made a successful defence of Dumfries, Virginia, and, supported by infantry repulsed a large force of the enemy. They had part in the dreadful engagement at Gettysburg, and afterwards were in the retreat from Cul- peper on the 16th of September. Previous to April 22d, more than two-thirds of the men re-enlisted for three years. On that date they moved to Stevensburg, Vir- ginia, and remained until they moved forward with the Army of the Potomac toward Richmond. After this time we hear of the Sixth Battery at Cold Harbor, Petersburg, and several other places, always active and giving excellent service. After January 1, 1865, we hear little concerning this battery, save the fact that it was mustered out and discharged June 17, 1865, at Augusta, Maine.

HISTORY OF PENOBSCOT COUNTY, MAINE.
THE SEVENTH BATTERY
was organized December 30, 1863, at Augusta, Maine, where it remained encamped until the morning of Feb- ruary 1, 1864. On the 25th of April it joined the Ninth Army Corps, and on the 9th and 12th of May was en- gaged with the enemy at the Ny River, losing three men severely wounded. On the 2d and 3d of June the bat- tery took part in the action at Cold Harbor, and then proceeded to Petersburg, where it assisted in driving the enemy across the Norfolk railroad on the 18th. On the 23d the battery was placed in position near the Taylor House, immediately in front of, and seven hundred yards from the point where the mine was sprung July 30th, on which day it kept a brisk fire on the enemy's batteries in its front. On the 4th of August the battery was relieved from a position held forty-seven consecutive days, and was stationed at Fort Rice, where on the 19th it was ex- posed to a severe fire from the enemy's batteries. On the 4th of October they assisted in repelling the enemy's at- tack on that position. The Ist of April, 1865, they took part in the general assault of the enemy's lines, resulting in the capture of Petersburg. On the 3d the battery followed the retreating rebels and arrived at Farmville on the roth. While there, the surrender of Lee's army oc- curred. On the 23d of May the battery participated in the grand review of the army, and on the 5th of June left for Maine, arriving on the 8th at Augusta, where the battery was mustered out of the United States service by Captain C. Macmichael, Ninth United States Infantry, on the 21st, and the men paid and finally discharged on the following day.

PRIVATE BENEFACTIONS.
The final table, also from the Adjutant-General's Re- ports, sets forth the private contributions of money, hos- pital stores, and other articles for the army and navy, during the war of 1861-65. Many towns failed to keep such records, and others neglected to send in their re- urns; so that this is considered but an approximate cal- culation :

THE LOCAL MILITIA.
Mr. E. F. Duren hands us the following note:
The usual military organizations have been maintained. They have been called into active service, chiefly in 1814, in repelling the British forces that came up the Penobscot River; in 1839, during the excite- ment attending the question of the Northeast boundary of the State, which was peaceably settled by a treaty between Great Britain and the United States, ratified by the Senate, August 20, 1842; and again dur- ing the late civil war (1861-65). In this last campaign, the Second Maine Regiment, six companies of the Sixth Maine, and the entire Eighteenth regiment, afterwards the First Heavy Artillery, were com- posed chiefly of residents of this county. Monuments in memory of the patriot soldiers deceased, are erected in the cemeteries at Bangor, Brewer, Hampden, Dexter, Newport and other places. The Jameson Guards, of Bangor, were organized in April, 1870. The Crosby Guards of Hampden; the Hersey Guards, of Oldtown; and the Coburn Cadets, at the Agricultural College, Orono; are now the principal uniformed voluntary organizations.
The following notices are given to several of the Pe- nobscot companies in one of the recent reports of the Adjutant General of the State:
G Company, Jameson Guards, Bangor .- The armory of this com- pany was not in the perfect condition I had reason to expect from the good record the company has attained, and from the appearance at my former inspection. The arms and equipments, however, were in good condition, and gave evidence of proper care. Much credit is due the efficient clerk of the company for the neat appe irance of the books and

STATISTICAL-BOUNTIES.
By the 2d of February, 1864, the bounties in the vari- ous towns of Penobscot county aggregated $359,087.50. Bangor led the list, of course, with $69,380; Whitney Ridge is the smallest reported, with $200. The heaviest bounties were paid afterwards, the whole in the county by the close of the war amounting to the splendid total of $889, 108.48-and doubtless more, since 19 of the plantations and unincorporated townships are not re- ported. The following table exhibits in detail the boun- ties paid by each town, with their several classes:
