PORTLAND, Sept. 27.
It appears from authentic official statements that Maine has filled her quotas under both calls for 300,000 men. Her quota under the first was 7,000, and all the men have been in the field for four weeks past under the last call for drafted men.
Maine has 9600 men ready, all raised by volunteering, and they have all been in camp at Portland, Augusta and Bangor since two fifteenth instant. They are all ready to move the moment they are uniformed and equipped. Prior to these contributions, Maine has sent over 10,000 men, and including the 4,000 seamen she has given the navy, she has raised 40,000 men for the Union.
The total population of Maine is 628,000. She claims the proud pro-eminence of being the banner state in raising volunteers. She sends no drafted to the war.
