Volunteers from Calais. CALAIS, Aug. 19, 1862. Mr. Editor:- There is an inpression abroad that Calais is somewhat behind in furnishing her quota of three year men for the war; but such is really not the fact. At the time the call was made for the Ninth Regiment, Calais had furnished twenty six men, but from some mistake, had been accredited only eleven. Since that time she has sent out thirty-six, making in all sixty-two, which is 10 more than her quota. In proof of the above statements we append the following list of the names of the noble fellows who have volunteered from this town: | Marcus M. Mower included.Death Notice
