To the Editors of the Boston Yankee,
"Castine.[Maine.] October 24.
"Major-General BROWN, commanding the Northern Division of the United States Army, has just embarked from this place in a packet-boat engaged for his accommodation for Wiscasset. He arrived here the day before yesterday. Yesterday morning on visiting Fort George, he was received with the usual salutation. After minutely inspecting every thing pertaining to the fort, he proceeded with Col. BELL, the commanding officer of the post, to examine every part of the peninsula, particularly the sites of the various batteries erected by the British while in possession of this place. In this ramble, they were also joined by a number of the most respectable citizens, who appeared to vie with the officers of the fort, in their attention to the general."
