ADJUTANT-GENERALS  REPORT.  [Jan. 


ANNUAL    REPORT. 


Adjdtant-Genbbal's  Office,  ) 
Dooember  SI,  1862.      ) 

To  His  Excellency  John  A.  Andrew,   Governor  and   Com- 
mander-inr  Chief. 

Sib  : — We  have  passed  through  another  year  of  war,  and  it 
becomes  my  duty  to  make  up  the  record  of  the  part  which 
Massachusetts  has  taken  in  it.    From  the  commencement  of 
the  rebellion  to  the  present  day,  our  Commonwealth  has  been 
earnest  in  the  Union  cause,  and  so  she  will  remain  forever. 

When  I  call  to  mind  the  many  brave  and  good  men  who 
have  gone  out  from  their  pleasant  homes  in  Massachusetts  to 
the  fields  of  death ;  who  have  fallen  in  battle,  died  of  disease, 
suflfered  in  prisons,  and  borne  many  unnamed  hardships  with- 
out murmur, — ^I  feel  how  difficult  it  is  for  me  to  speak  their 
praise  in  becoming  words,  and  I  shall  not  attempt  it.  Thoir 
sublime  deeds  are  their  best  eulogy,  and  their  good  name  will 
forever  be  among  the  most  cherished  objects  of  the  Common- 
wealth. 

In  my  Annual  Report,  which  I  had  the  honor  to  submit 
to  your  Excellency  one  year  ago,  it  was  shown  that  Massachu- 
setts, up  to  the  thirty-first  of  December,  1861,  had  sent 
33,636  soldiers  to  the  war,  exclusive  of  the  men  belonging  to 
the  State,  who  had  enlisted  in  the  Navy,  the  number  of  whom 
was  estimated  at  11,000,  which  made  an  aggregate  of  44,636 
men  in  the  Army  and  Navy.  Of  this  number  3,736  were 
in  the  three  months'  service;  the  remaining  30,000  were 
enlisted  for  three  years,  (except  the  Eighth  Battery,  Captain 
Cook,  which  was  for  six  months,)  and  the  regiments  and  bat- 
teries which  they  composed  are  still  absent,  having  served 
less  than  half  the  term  of  their  enlistment.

1863.]  PUBLIC  DOCUMENT— No.  7.  6 

Before  entering  upon  a  history  of  the  labors  of  this  depart- 
ment for  the  past  year,  I  will  insert  a  report  which  I  had  the 
honor  to  make  to  your  Excellency,  in  February  last,  of  a 
journey  made  by  me,  in  the  latter  part  of  January  and  the  first 
part  of  February,  to  several  of  our  regiments  at  the  seat  of  war, 
and  to  transact  business  with  the  War  and  Treasury  Depart- 
ments relative  to  matters  of  interest  to  the  State  and  importance 
to  our  soldiers.  In  reading  it  over  after  the  lapse  of  only  a  few 
months,  my  mind  is  saddened  by  the  knowledge  of  the  many 
brave  officers  and  men  whom  I  then  saw  in  the  full  vigor  of 
manhood,  and  who  were  very  kind  to  me,  who  have  since  fallen 
in  battle,  or  who  have  returned  to  their  homes  wounded, 
maimed,  and  broken  in  health. 

My  refK)rt  was  as  follows : — 

February  17,  1862. 
To  Sis  .Excellency  the  Oommander^n- Chief : 

Sir, — On  the  2l8t  of  January,  having  sent  forth  all  our  regiments, 
finished  my  Annual  Report,  and  balanced  the  accounts  of  this  office  with 
the  Treasurer,  I  left  Boston  by  your  Eicellenc/s  permission,  to  visit 
oar  regiments  at  the  seat  of  war,  in  order  to  ascertain  their  condition  and 
to  correct  and  verify  our  Descriptive  Rolls. 

I  was  detained  one  day  in  New  York  in  an  examination  of  the 
condition  of  our  Twenty-Eighth  Regiment,  stationed  at  Grovemor's 
Isknd,  and  found  it  quartered  in  cold,  damp  casemates,  and  otherwise 
hadly  provided  for.  I  hurried  to  "Washington  that  night,  and  in  the 
morning,  accompanied  by  Senator  Wilson,  called  at  the  war  depart- 
ment, and  had  an  interview  with  Adjutant-General  Thomas,  who  prom- 
ised to  lay  the  subject  before  the  Secretary  of  War  immediately.  I 
waited  three  days  before  I  could  see  him  again,  and  it  was  not  until  I 
received  your  Excellency's  letter,  enclosing  a  copy  of  a  letter  from 
Captain  Barrett,  complaining  of  the  treatment  of  this  regiment,  that  I 
was  enabled,  with  Senator  Wilson's  assistance,  to  have  action  taken  by 
the  war  department.  Secretary  Stanton  issued  orders  immediately 
by  telegraph  to  the  Commander  of  the  Fort,  and  to  the  Colonel  of  the 
Twenty-Eighth,  which  I  subsequently  ascertained  were  of  great  service 
in  obtaining  the  necessary  comforts  for  the  men.  On  my  return  to  New 
York  in  about  a  fortnight,  I  found  the  regiment  in  good  condition.  It 
appears  by  a  letter  fix)m  the  war  department  received  at  this  office, 
the  Twenty-Eighth  was  ordered,  on  the  31st  of  January,  to  report  to 
Brigadier-Greneral  Sherman,  at  Port  Royal,  S.  C.  The.  regiment  left  on 
the  Steamer  Ericsson  yesterday  morning.

6  ADJUTANT-GENERAL'S  REPORT.  [Jan. 

Upon  my  arriyftl  at  Wa^ington,  I  aaoertBined  that  Ck^in  Sfxpendorf 
of  the  Fifth  BaUery  had  reogDed.  The  battery  was  atationed  on 
Capitol  Hill.  I  visited  the  camp  and  found  the  man  in  goad  health  and 
anxious  to  hare  their  guns.  By  an  order,  the  battery  had  been  attached 
to  General  Franklin's  Division.  For  reasons  not  necessary  to  detail 
they  desired  to  be  placed  in  General  Porter's  command.  Their  case 
was  presented  to  Greneral  Barry,  Chief  of  ArtiUery,  by  Hon.  Messrs.^ 
Eliot  and  Grooch,  (in  whose  districts  the  battery  was  raised,)  and  by 
myself,  and  he  consented  to  the  desired  change,  if  General  Porter,  whose 
quarters  were  near  Hall's  Hill,  could  find  use  for  them.  Subsequently 
I  had  an  interview  with  General  Porter  at  his  head-quarters,  and  he 
asked  me  to  say  to  General  Barry  that  he  would  be  pleased  to  receive 
as  many  Massachusetts  batteries  as  would  be  sent  him,  although  he  did 
not  wish  to  interfere  with  any  previous  arrangements  of  the  virar 
department.  The  result  is  that  the  order  was  changed,  and  this  battery 
is  over  the  river  in  Greneral  Porter's  Division.  With  a  few  weeks' 
drilling  it  will  be  very  efficient. 

My  next  visit  was  to  the  camps  of  the  Seventh  and  Tenth,  whieh  are 
about  a  mile  apart,  at  Brightwood,  five  or  nx  miles  from  the  Capitol, 
and  in  the  District  of  Columbia.  Ahhough  the  weather  had  been  bad, 
and'  the  roads  were  in  a  condition  hardly  conceivable  by  a  New 
Etiglander,  I  found  the  officers  and  men  in  good  health  and  excellent 
condition.  There  was  but  one  man  sick  in  the  Seventh,  and  the  Tenth 
had  not  a  single  person  in  the  hospital.  The  men  lived  in  comfortable 
log  huts,  which  diey  themselves  had  buiU,  and  were  quite  well  satisfied 
with  their  quarters.  I  Hiade  arrangements  to  have  a  roll  of  each  regiAent 
made  out,  showing  the  names,  residence,  &c,  of  the  persons  who  had 
died,  deserted  or  been  discharged  since  the  regiment  left  Massachasetti. 
After  some  pleasant  hours  with  the  officers  and  men,  and  an  inspection 
of  the  men's  quarters,  I  returned  to  Washington,  much  pleased  with  the 
day's  labors.  I  was  accompanied  by  Captain  Dudley,  U.  S.  A.,  then 
stationed  at  Washington,  who  was  subsequently  appointed  Colonel  of 
the  Thirtieth  Massachusetts  Regiment,  in  the  Department  of  the  Gulf, 
where  he  now  is,  and  by  Major  Fletcher,  U.  S.  Paymaster. 

The  next  two  days  I  passed  at  Washington,  transacting  some  business 
at  the  war  department,  and  with  the  second  auditor  and  comptroller 
of  the  treasury ;  among  other  matters,  endeavoring  to  secure  the 
acceptance  of  MaxwelTs  Company  of  Sharpshooters,  and  ascertaining 
in  regard  to  the  payment  of  one  hundred  dollars  bounty  to  soldiers' 
heirs,  in  case  of  death.  I  ascertained  that  none  of  those  claims  had 
been  paid,  as  Congress  had  made  no  specific  appropriation.  I  have 
reason  to  believe  that  Congress  wiU  soon  pass  this  appropriation.

HaTiog  obtained  a  pass  from  General  McClellaOy  I  proceeded  to  the 
Yirginia  side,  to  visit  the  Maaaachusetts  troope  beyond  the  Potomac  1 
piflsed  over  the  Long  Bridge  aboat  nine  o'clock  in  the  morning,  and 
was  surprised  at  the  number  of  wagons,  equestrians  and  pedestrians 
noTiDg  through  the  mud  into  Virginia.  At  the  end  of  Long  Bridge  is 
Fort  Bnnjan,  garrisoned  bj  a  company  of  the  Massachusetts  Fourteenth, 
Gbknel  Greene.  The  other  companies  of  this  command  are  near,  at 
Forts  Albany  and  Hamilton;  the  main  body  being  at  Fort  Albany, 
tlie  head-quarters  of  Colonel  Greene.  The  men  have  erected  log 
tMoxaeks  for  themselves^  and  enjoy  good  quarters ;  few,  if  any,  were  in 
tbehospitaL 

After  spending  an  hour  in  the  fort,  I  passed  on  to  visit  the  Ninth, 
j^hteenth  and  Twenty-Second  Regiments,  and  the  Third  and  Fourth 
BatteriesL  The  roads  were  very  bad,  and  it  seemed  an  impossibility  for 
wagons  to  move.  I  next  stopped  at  General  Blenker's  head-quarters, 
Dear  Ball's  Croes  Boads,  and  paid  him  my  respects.  He  spoke  highly 
of  oor  Commonwealth,  and  of  the  troops  she  had  sent  to  the  war.  I 
then  paaaed  through  the  camps  of  Blenker^s  Brigade,  which  is  composed 
moatly  d  Gierman  regiments.  The  Eighteenth  and  Twenty-Second 
Maaaachusetts  regiments,  and  the  Third  Battery,  are  encamped  near 
each  other,  on  what  is  called  Hall's  HilL  Their  camps  were  quite 
picturesque.  They  were  ornamented  with  arches,  some  of  them  very 
bandsome,  covered  and  ornamented  with  evergreens.  The  camp  streets 
ue  flanked  with  cedars  and  (nnea.  £vei^  thing  indicated  a  refined 
taste,  and  real  subetaatial  comfort.  On  a  large  open  field  between  the 
eaeanpm^it  of  the  German  and  of  the  Massachusetts  regiments,  I 
vitnessed  a  splendid  sham  fight,  five  thousand  men  were  engaged,  com- 
prising aboat  three  thousand  five  hundred  in&ntry,  several  batteries  of 
ardlleiy,  and  two  squadrons  of  cavalry. 

I  made  a  short  visit  to  the  camps  of  the  Massachusetts  Eighteenth 
and  Twei^-Seoond  Regiments,  and  the  Fourth  Battery.  The  men 
and  (^Scers  were  ^lad  to  see  a  Massachusetts  man.  After  giving  direc- 
tioQB  to  the  acyntants  to  prepare  rolls  of  the  dead,  deserted  and  dis- 
diarged,  and  after  exchanging  fiiendly  recognitions  with  the  officers, 
and  promising  to  call  the  next  day  on  my  return,  I  passed  on  over  Hall's 
HiU  and  Minor^s  Farm,  through  fields  made  desolate  by  war,  to  the 
camp  of  the  Ninth  Begiment,  where  I  intended  to  pass  the  night. 

I  regretted  that  I  was  not  able  to  see  Colonel  Barnes,  of  the  Eighteenth, 
and  Colonel  Gove,  of  the  Twenty-Second,  but  they  were  absent  on  duty. 
These  gentlemen  stand  in  the  first  ckiss  of  officers.  It  was  pleasant  to 
Bee  the  fine  appearance  of  the  Massachusetts  regiments,  and  to  hear  the 
men  ^>eak  so  warmly  in  praise  of  their  officers.  Between  Hall's  Hill 
and  the  camp  of  the  Ninth,  is  a  large  field  where  a  skirmish  had  taken

place  some  months  before.    The  graves  of  the  men  who  had  fkllen,  and 
the  skeletons  of  dead  horses,  half  buried,  mark  the  spot 

I  foand  Ck>lonel  Cass  in  his  tent,  engaged  with  a  Pennsjlvania  offieer, 
in  making  a  report  upon  a  claim  for  damages  preferred  bj  Mr.  Minor, 
for  destruction  to  his  house  and  grounds.  After  supper,  we  walked  over 
to  Brigadier-General  Morrell's  quarters,  about  half  a  mile  distant  He 
was  not  in,  but  we  were  kindly  welcomed  bj  members  of  his  stafiEl 
About  eight  o'clock.  General  Morrell  came  over  to  Colonel  Cass's  head- 
quarters, and  passed  two  hours  with  us.  He  appeared  to  be  a  very 
intelligent  and  accomplished  officer.  That  night  I  slept  under  canvas, 
and  although  it  rained  incessantly,  not  a  drop  of  water  came  through. 
Colonel  Cass's  regiment  was  full,  and  there  was  no  sickness  in  the  camp. 
He  says  that  the  uniform  given  them  while  they  were  at  Long  Island 
by  the  State,  had  to  be  exchanged  soon  after  their  arrival  at  Washing- 
ton, as  it  was  in  appearance  like  the  uniform  of  the  secessicmists,  and 
General  Mansfield  did  not  regard  the  regiment  as  safe  on  the  Yii^ginia 
side,  with  it  on.  They  therefore  procured  a  new  one,  of  the  army 
.  pattern ;  the  men  had  to  pay  for  both,  and  their  monthly  allowance  was 
greatly  diminished.  I  enclose  a  copy  of  a  letter  marked  A,  which  shows 
the  amount  charged  the  men  for  their  State  uniform.  I  respectfully 
submit  that  the  men  of  the  Ninth  be  allowed  some  remuneration  by  the 
Commonwealth. 

Li  the  morning  I  had  an  opportunity  to  see  the  Ninth  in  line,  and 
notwithstanding  the  rain  and  snow,  which  lasted  until  late  in  the  after- 
noon, the  officers  and  men  appeared  in  uniform,  and  with  foil  ranks. 
This  regiment  has  the  Springfield  smooth-bore  muskets,  latest  pattern. 
Colonel  Cass  is  drilling  the  men  almost  entirely  in  double-quick  move- 
ments, and  with  particular  reference  to  ^  the  charge.**  He  does  not 
want  rifled  muskets,  as  he  intends  to  fight  in  dose  quarters. 

I  saw  most  of  the  officers,  and  passed  many  pleasant  hours  with  this 
regiment  About  nine  o'clock  in  the  morning,  Colonel  Cass  accompanied 
me  back  as  far  as  Fort  Albany,  near  the  end  of  Long  Bridge.  On  our 
way  we  called  on  Major-General  Porter,  and  I  arranged  with  him  in 
regard  to  our  Sixth  Battery.  We  also  called  at  the  head-quarters  oi 
Brigadier-General  Martindale,  but  he  was  absent ;  but  I  was  glad  to 
find,  in  his  tent  near  by,  the  Brigade-Surgeon,  our  old  friend  Dr« 
Lyman ;  also  Captain  Batchelder,  late  of  the  Twenty-Second,  but  now 
attached  to  General  Martindale's  staff. 

We  then  passed  over  to  the  Eighteenth  and  Twenty-Second,  and 
after  procuring  their  rolls,  proceeded  over  fields  of  follen  timber  and 
across  ravines,  for  about  four  miles,  to  Fort  Cass,  a  splendid  fortification, 
eonstructed  last  summer  by.  the  Massachusetts  Ninth,  and  named  in 
honor  of  their  colonel    It  was  garrisoned  by  a  company  of  Wisconsin

DmmaDded  bj  an  old  western  fKend  of  mine,  Colonel 
Jftereifich*  « 

We  rea<^ed  Fort  Albanj  abont  three  o'dock,  where  we  were  hospita- 
hij  entertained  bj  Mrs.  Greene,  wife  of  the  colonel  of  the  Fonrteenth, 
SDd  faj  the  officers  of  that  regiment.  We  remained  there  abont  an 
hoar,  and  having  parted  with  Colonel  Cass,  I  proceeded  orer  the  Long 
Bridge  to  Washington,  and  arrived  at  mj  hotel  about  six  o*clock.  I 
had  been  two  dajs  on  horsebadc,  through  a  continual  storm  of  rain  and 
aiow,  with  mnd  up  to  the  stirrups  part  of  the  waj,  and  jet  I  never  had 
a  more  deligfatlnl  jonmej. 

The  next  two  days  I  remained  at  Washington,  attending  to  certain 
matters  at  the  departments.  On  the  third  daj,  I  embarked  on  a  steamer 
for  Bodd's  Ferrj,  and  went  down  the  Potomac  about  fifty  miles  to 
General  Hooker^s  brigade.  We  left  the  wharf  about  10  o'clock,  and 
■rrired  at  the  landing  at  2^,  P.  M.  On  the  opposite  side  of  the  landing 
oee  of  the  rebel  batteries  was  distinctly  visible.  The  roads  from  the 
kading  to  the  camps  of  the  First  and  Eleventh  were  the  worst  I  ever 
saw.  At  one  place,  a  wagon  of  the  Second  New  Hampshire  Regiment 
was  stack  fast  in  the  mud.  The  forward  wheels  were  completely  out  of 
sight,  and  the  thin  red  mud  was  running  into  the  bottom  of  the  wagon. 
As  we  passed  along,  we  came  across  a  detachment  of  the  First  Regiment, 
■ader  command  of  my  ftiend  Captain  Chamberlain,  of  Roxbnry,  making 
a  covdaroj  road.  After  a  tiresome  ride  of  two  hours  we  came  to 
General  Hooker's  head-quarters.  We  paid  our  respects  to  him,  and 
paoocd  on  to  the  head-quarters  of  Colonel  Cowdin,  who  was  acting  as 
Brigadier.  He  was  in  good  health,  and  gave  us  a  cordial  reception.  (I 
was  accompanied  by  Colonel  Coflin,  of  Newburyport.*)  Colonel  Cowdin 
poinled  out  the  various  localities  of  interest,  and  showed  us  several  holes 
nwde  bj  the  shells  from  the  rebel  batteries. 

We  witnesaed  a  dress  parade  of  the  Eleventh ;  and  after  supper  we 
crossed  over  to  the  camp  of  the  First,  and  passed  the  evening  with  the 
offieers.  Here,  as  at  the  other  camps  I  had  visited,  the  officers  and  men 
were  m  good  health,  only  one  was  really  sick,  and  all  were  eager  for  a 
%fat  with  the  enemy.  These  two  regiments  are  considered  the  best  in 
the  divisioa.  I  passed  the  night  in  Colonel  Cowdin's  quarters,  a  log  hut 
cofeied  with  canvas.     The  regiments  are  in  comfortable  log  huts. 

The  next  morning,  having  taken  leave  of  our  friends,  we  started  for 
the  boat,  and  after  two  boon  tramping  in  the  mud  we  arrived  at  the 
kufinA    At  4  o'clock  we  were  safe  in  Washington.

10  ADJUTANT-QENBRAL'S  RBPOET,  [Jan. 

The  next  day  I  went  to  see  General  Barry,  Chief  of  ArtUlerj,  wilb 
Captain  Davia^  of  Lowell,  to  have  his  eompaaj,  whidi  has  beea  at 
Fortress  Monroe  ever  since  May  last,  changed  to  a  Light  Battery,  as 
recommended  by  Miyor  Greneral  WooL  I  had  the  honor  <^  introdiiciog 
Captain  Davis  to  your  f  xcellenc^  in  the  evening,  and  yon  were  pleased 
to  favor  the  proposed  change,  and  by  your  efiforts  the  next  day  the 
change  was  made. 

The  day  following  I  went  to  Baltimore,  and  visited  the  Seventeenth, 
(Colonel  Amory,)  and  the  First  Battery,  (Captain  Nims.)  Tliey  are 
stationed  in  Baltimore  at  the  extreme  southern  end  of  Baltimore  Street 
Here,  as  elsewhere,  I  received  a  warm  greeting.  I  visited  the  regiment 
in  the  barracks,  and  wks  taken  through  the  hospital  There  was  more 
sickness  in  this  regiment  than  in  the  others  I  had  visited,  which  I 
attributed  to  its  close  proximity  to  a  large  city.  The  sick  numbered 
about  thirty.  The  officers  take  great  cure  of  the  heakh  of  the  men. 
Both  the  battery  and  the  regiment  are  highly  esteemed  by  the  loyal 
citizens  of  Baltimore,  several  of  whom  I  saw  and  conversed  with*  I 
spent  about  two  hours  here,  and  left  regretting  that  I  coukl  stay  no 
longer. 

After  a  long  call  at  General  Dix*s  head-quarters,  and  ascertaining 
what  had  been  done  in  regard  to  certain  Massachusetts  men,  who  had 
been  enlisted  in  Boston  and  taken  to  Baltimore  on  false  representations, 
and  acquainting  your  Excellency  of  the  facts  by  letter,  I  went  on  board 
the  steamer  at  5  o'clock,  and  proceeded  to  Fortress  Monroe,  at  which 
place  I  arrived  at  8  o'clock  the  next  morning. 

My  first  duty  after  my  arrival  was  to  pay  my  respects  to  Miyor-Gren- 
eral  Wool,  who  received  me  with  kindness,  and  spoke  warmly  in  praise 
of  our  State,  and  our  regiments  in  his  c(Hnmand.  I  remained  three  days 
at  Fortress  Monroe  and  Newport  News,  aad  had  an  excellent  opporta- 
nity  of  becoming  acquainted  with  the  condition  of  our  Sixteenth  and 
Twenty-Ninth  Begiments.  Here,  as  elsewhere,  I  found  our  men  in 
general  good  health,  and  earnestly  desiring  an  advance  on  the  enemy. 
Colonel  Wyman  is  almost  idolized  by  his  regiment,  and  he  has  certainly 
brought  it  to  a  high  state  of  discipline.  Colonel  Peirce  had  taken  com- 
mand of  the  Twenty-Ninth  a  short  time  before  my  arrival.  From  all  I 
can  learn,  his  appointment  seemed  to  give  general  satis&ction,  and  I 
believe  he  will  be  an  efficient  and  popular  officer.  The  New  York 
Ninety-Ninth  (^ Union  Coast  Guard")  is  stationed  near  Fortress 
Monroe,  and  commanded  by  my  old  friend.  Colonel  Wardrop.  As  nearly 
one-half  of  his  command  is  composed  of  Massachusetts  men,  I  regret 
that  he  does  not  hold  a  Massachusetts  commissioB.  Captain  Davis's 
Company,  (to  which  I  have  before  alluded,)  is  stationed  inside  of  the 
Fortress,  and  is  permanently  attached  to  the  garrison.

It  wodd  exceed  the  limits  of  this  report,  to  recount  particular 
lostaaces  of  merit  in  oar  troq[>s,  or  to  speak  of  the  many  acts  of  kindness 
I  received  daring  my  sojourn  among  them.  It  is  enough  to  saj  that  I 
felt  proud  of  our  men,  and  honored  bj  their  attentions. 

On  mj  arrival  at  New  York,  I  again  visited  our  Twentj-Eighth 
Begiment  at  Grovernor's  Island,  and  found  them  in  much  better  condition 
than  thej  had  been  at  my  previous  visit.  They  were  to  have  left  the 
oext  day  for  Port  Royal.  I  was  honored  by  a  visit  from  the  officers, 
and  a  serenade  at  my  hotel  in  New  York,  the  evening  before  I  left  for 
Boston.  The  next  day  I  returned  home,  having  been  absent  more 
dian  three  weeks.  • 

I  have  succeeded  in  receiving  ^m  the  regiments  correct  lists  of  all 
tlie  desertions,  discharges  and  deaths,  since  they  left  the  Commonwealth, 
80  that  our  Descriptive  Rolls  have  been  corrected.  Many  new  rolls  have 
abo  been  obtained.  The  evidence  thus  procured  is  valuable,  in  prevent- 
ing the  State  relief  money  from  being  squandered  upon  families  of  desert- 
as  and  discharged  soldiers,  and  may  be  important  for  fiunilies  of  deceased 
soldierB,  in  enabling  them  to  procuce  their  dues  from  the  general 
government.  On  these  and  other  accounts,  I  trust  my  journey  will  be 
found  productive  of  good. 

With  much  respect,  I  have  the  honor  to  be 

Your  Excellency's  ob't  serv't, 

Wh.  Schouleb,  AdjuUmt' General. 


Allow  me  to  refer  briefly  to  a  few  of  the  gentlemen  referred 
to  in  the  foregoing  report : — 

KvrH. — ^The  Twenty-Eighth  Repment  left  New  York  for  Port 
Royal,  S.  C,  and  took  part  in  the  bloody  attack  on  rebel  forts  at 
James  Island.  Colonel  Honteith  has  resigned  and  come  home. 
Lieutenant-Colonel  Moore  also  resigned  and  came  home,  broken 
down  in  health.  The  regiment  was  afterwards  transferred  to 
the  Army  of  Virginia,  and  took  a  leading  part  in  the  battles 
under  General  Pope,  in  which  Major  Cartwright,  then  in  com- 
mand, was  severely  wounded  with  a  musket  ball,  in  the  head. 
He  has  since  recovered  and  is  now  with  his  regiment. 

Second. — ^The  Fifth  Battery,  Captain  Allen,  was  dreadfully 
cut  up,  in  the  seven  days  fighting  between  the  Chickahominy 
and  the  James  River,  and  Captain  Allen  returned  home  with 
broken  health,  and  afterwards  resigned. 

Third. — ^The  Fourteenth  Regiment  remained  in  charge  of  the 
forts,  but  took  part  in  the  battles  under  General  Pope,  and

distinguished  itself  bj  its  braverj  and  soldierlike  bearing. 
Colonel  Greene  has  since  been  compelled  to  resign,  from  disa- 
bility, and  is  now  at  home,  but  his  health  is  not  restored. 

Fourth. — Colonel  Gjove,  of  the  Twenty-Second,  was  killed  in 
one  of  the  battles  before  Richmond,  on  the  27th  of  June,  at 
the  head  of  his  regiment,  and  his  body  has  never  been  recovered. 

Fifth. — Colonel  Cass,  of*  the  Ninth,  was  wounded  on  the 
same  sad  day,  and  came  home  only  to  die.  His  remains  rest 
in  Mount  Auburn. 

Sixth. — Colonel  Wyman,  Sixteenth  Regiment,  was  shot 
through  the  head,  and  fell  dead  from  his  horse,  while  leading 
his  men  to  a  desperate  charge,  on  the  30th  of  June.  He  also 
rests  in  death,  in  Mount  Auburn. 

Seventh. — Colonel  Peirce,  of  the  Twenty-Ninth,  lost  his  right 
arm  in  the  same  bloody  field,  and  is  now  at  home  on  recruiting 
service.  His  sword,  bent  with  the  cannon  ball  that  took  off  his 
arm,  he  has  presented  to  me,  and  it  is  now  in  the  glass  case  in 
this  office. 

I  make  these  brief  notices  in  passing.  I  shall  have  occasion 
in  the  course  of  this  Report  to  speak  more  at  length  respecting 
others  in  the  same  commands,  who  have  bravely  dared  and 
nobly  suffered. 

In  the  last  half  of  the  year  1861,  two  regiments,  three  com- 
panies of  cavalry,  and  a  battery  of  light  artillery  were  recruited 
in  this  Commonwealth,  by  Major-Gtoneral  Butler.  A  part  of  the 
officers  were  designated  by  General  Butler,  and  a  portion  of  the 
organizations  left  the  Commonwealth  by  orders  issued  by  him, 
while  the  officers  had  not  been  commissioned.  The  regiments 
were  originally  designated  as  the  Eastern  and  Western  *^  Bay 
State  Regiments."  They  were  subsequently  placed  under  the 
authority  of  your  Excellency,  and  were  designated  February 
10th,  by  Special  Orders  Nos.  25  and  26,  current  series,  the  Thir- 
tieth and  Thirty-First  Regiments  Massachusetts  Volunteers. 
The  cavalry  were  called  and  are  now  known  as  *^  three  com- 
panies of  unattached  cavalry,"  and  the  artillery  was  called  and 
is  now  known  as  the  Sixth  Battery.  They  are  all  in  the 
Department  of  the  Gulf. 

Captain  Dudley,  Tenth  Infantry,  U.  S.  A.,  a  native  of  Massa- 
chusetts, was  commissioned  Colonel  of  the  Thurtieth,  and  Cap-

driTen  from  tlie  Sbenandoah  Yallej,  bj  a  superior  force  of  the 
eDemj,  and  the  capital  of  the  Union  was  menaced.  On  the 
same  daj  General  Order  No.  14  was  issued,  ordering  com- 
mioders  of  regiments,  battalions,  and  unattached  companies  of 
in&ntry  of  the  Volunteer  Militia  to  report  forthwith  with  their

lieutenant-Colonel  Parker  in  command  was  promoted  to  Colo-

1863]  PUBUO  DOCUMENT— No.  7.  19 

Late  in  the  afternoon  of  the  27 Ui,  it  was  ascertained  that 
numj  of  the  men  who  had  responded  to  the  call,  believed  the 
service  which  they  had  volunteered  to  render  was  but  for  three 
months,  and  had  made  their  business  and  other  arrangements 
accordingly.  iJpon  arriving  at  Boston,  they  discovered  that  the 
three  mouths'  term  had  been  changed  by  an  Act  of  Congress  to 
a  longer  term  ;  whereupon  your  Excellency  telegraphed  to  the 
War  Department  for  authority  to  muster  the  men  in  for  three 
months'  service,  which  authority  was  not  given.  In  the  meau 
time  I  made  a  personal  visit  to  the  halls  where  the  men  were 
quartered,  and  explained  to  them  the.  change  which  Congress 
had  made  iu  the  law,  and  gave  orders  to  the  officers  in  com- 
numd  to  make  a  roll  of  those  who  would  volunteer  to  serve  the 
time  specified  by  the  Congressional  Act.  Reports  were  sent  in 
the  same  evening,  and  it  appeared  that  about  one-half  were 
ready  to  proceed,  "  law  or  no  law."  Every  man  was  ready  and 
anxious  to  go  for  three  months.  At  this  time  information  was 
received  from  Washington  that  the  immediate  danger  to  the 
capitol  was  passed,  and  directing  the  militia  to  be  released. 

General  Order  No.  16  was-  then  issued,  which  is  as  follows : — 

Head-Quabters,  Boston,  Biay  27, 1862. 
[Gkxkkal  Okdkr,  No.  16.] 

Parsuant  to  requisitions  from  the  President  of  the  United  States, 
callmg  upon  the  Governor  to  send  forthwith  to  Washington  the  active 
milhia  of  the  Commonwealth  for  the  defence  of  the  Capital,  menaced  by 
the  advance  of  the  enemy.  General  Order  No.  14  of  the  current  series 
was  duly  pTomalgated,  and  a  proclamation  to  the  citizen  soldiery  was 
i^»]ed,  urging  the  promptest  and  most  efficient  co-operation  with  the 
National  Government  In  obedience  to  which  Order  and  proclamation 
4,000  men  have,  rinee  yesterday  morning,  arrived  and  reported  them- 
selves on  Boston  Common. 

The  Commander-in-Chief  was  informed  to-day  that  a  portion  of  the 
troops  were  surprised  at  learning,  that  in  accordance  with  an  Act  of 
Congress,  passed  in  July,  1861,  they  might  be  held  for  a  term  longer 
than  three  months,  or  until  sixty  days  after  the  meeting  of  the  next 
session  of  Congress,  or  if  Congress  should  so  provide,  for  an  indefinite 
period. 

The  Governor  telegraphed  to  the  War  Department  for  aathority  to 
order  them  to  be  mastered  in  for  three  months.  To  this  telegram  a  reply 
kjmt  received,  that  the  President  directs  the  militia  to  be  released,  con- 
ceo^dons  of  our  forces  having  been  effected  which  will  render  their

« 

employment  unncessary;  but  the  President  directs  enlistments  to  be 
made  in  Massachusetts  for  three  years,  as  heretofore,  in  the  Volunteer 
service. 

Grateful  for  the  alacrity  with  which  the  Order  to  report  in  Boston 
was  obeyed  by  the  militia  of  the  Commonwealth,  and  regretting  the  dis- 
appointment which  must  be  felt  by  many  gallant  men,  it  has  become  the 
duty  of  the  Commander-in-Chief  to  relieve  them  from  further  duty  at 
present. 

The  Fourth  Battalion  of  Infantry,  who  have  already  taken  the  oath, 
will  be  mustered  out  of  service  immediately,  and  then  released  from  duty. 
The  two  corps  of  Cadets  who  have  also  been  mustered  into  the  United 
States  service,  will  be  mustered  out  as  soon  as  relieved  from  duty  at 
Fort  Warren. 

Commanding  officers  of  companies  are  reminded  that  they  are  account- 
able for  the  property  which  has  been  issued  on  their  requisitions,  and 
will  turn  over  the  same  to  Captain  W.  W.  McKim,  Ast^istant- Quarter- 
master U.  S.  A.,  who  will  cancel  their  receipts. 

Under  the  authority  of  the  President  of  the  United  States,  there  will 
be  immediately  recruited,  in  addition  to  the  four  companies  required  to 
complete  the  Thirty-Second  Regiment,  who  marched  yesterday  for 
Washington,  under  Lieutenant-Colonel  F.  J.  Parker,  one  Battalion  and 
two  Regiments  of  Infantry,  and  a  Battery  of  Light  Artillery,  to  be 
enlisted  for  three  years,  unless  sooner  discharged,  and  the  Governor  and 
Commander-in-Chief  earnestly  calls  upon  the  militia  to  come  forward 
and  fill  up  their  ranks. 

The  thanks  of  the  Governor  and  Commander-in-Chief  are  presented 
to  M^or-General  Andrews  and  Staff,  for  the  efficient  manner  in  which 
they  have  discharged  the  duties  imposed  upon  them  by  General  Orders 
No.  14,  and  they  are  relieved  from  further  duty  under  tlie  same. 

Major-General  Andrews  is  charged  with  the  transmission  of  this 
Order. 

By  order  of  His  Excellency  John  A.  Andrew,  Governor  and 
Commander-in-  Chief, 

William  Schouler,  Adjutant- General 

In  the  mean  time,  and  previous  to  issuing  the  above  Order, 
the  Fourth  Battalion  of  Infantry,  Major  Lee,  had  assembled  in 
strong  force,  and  been  mustered  into  the  U.  S.  service,  and  also 
the  two  corps  of  Cadets  attached  to  the  First  and  Second 
Divisions.  This  will  explain  why  they  are  especially  mentioned 
in  the  above  General  Order. 

The  Company  of  Light  Artillery,  Captain  Jones,  First  Divis- 
ion, was  also  prepared  to  move  forward  at  once,  and    an

order  was  giroQ  for  it  to  report  on  the  evening  of  the  27 th, 
at  the  Worcester  Depot,  to  Quartermaster-General  Reed,  and 
{Ntx^eed  to  Washington.  Captain  Gh>odhue,  U.  S.  A  ,  was 
pr^ent  at  their  armory  in  the  evening,  to  muster  them  into  the 
serrice,  their  horses  had  been  bought,  and  were  on  board  the 
cars,  but  the  company  refused  to  be  mustered  in,  until  they 
kuew  how  long  a  period  they  were  to  serve.  The  facts  being 
reported  to  your  Excellency,  an  Order  was  issued  to  disband 
tiie  corps. 

I  thought  then,  and  think  now,  that  the  Order  to  disband 
this  splendid  company  was  just  and  proper,  yet  upon  reflection 
I  think  the  men  had  good  cause  of  complaint.  Most  of  them 
were  mechanics,  who  had  families  depending  upon  them  for 
mpport,  and  it  was  natural  that,  before  they  would  take  the 
oath  to  serve,  they  should  know  definitely  how  long  a  period 
they  were  to  l>e  absent.  Tlie  cliief  blame  for  all  tliis  trouble 
and  difficulty  is  in  the  law  passed  by  Congress,  which  was  evi- 
dently passed  in  haste,  and  without  due  consideration  of  its 
effects.  Subsequently,  when  the  call  for  nine  months'  volunteers 
was  issued,  Captain  Jones  was  among  the  first  to  offer  his 
services  to  recruit  a  battery.  His  offer  was  accepted,  aini  in  a 
very  short  time  he  had  his  company  ready,  comprising  a  great 
^  part  of  the  men  who  had  been  members  of  the  disbanded  com- 
pany, and  they  are  now  at  the  seat  of  war,  serving  their  country 
on  the  battle-field. 

Immediately  upon  the  disbandment  of  the  light  artillery 
company  commanded  by  Captain  Jones,  application  was  made 
by,  and  authority  given  to  Major  Cook,  who  had  commanded 
the  Light  Massachusetts  Battery  in  the  three  months'  service,  to 
raise  an  artillery  company  to  serve  for  six  months.  His 
request  was  granted.  He  raised  a  company,  which  received 
its  marching  orders  on  the  30th  of  June,  to  proceed  to 
Washington.  It  had  its  full  equipment.  This  battery  served 
OQtits  time,  and  returned  to  the  Commonwealth  a  few  days 
ago-  During  its  brief  experience  it  saw  much  service,  and 
received  the  highest  commendations  of  the  commander  of  the 
brigade  in  which  it  served,  for  its  bravery  and  fidelity  in  the 
memorabie  battle  of  Autietam. 

Immediately  upon  tlie  issue  of  the  order  for  the  battalion  of

Lieutenant-Colonel  Maggi,  of  New  Bedford,  is  ordered  to  the  command 
of  Camp  Edwin  M.  Stanton. 

The  officer  to  command  Camp  John  E.  Wool  will  be  designated  by 
special  order. 

By  command  of  His  Excellency  John  A.  Andrew,  Governor  and

William  Schouler,  Adjutant- GerieraL  • 

In  accordance  with  the  above  Order,  camps  were  established 
at  Lynnfield,  and  Worcester,  Colonel  Maggi,  of  New  Bedford, 
now  in  command  of  the  Thirty-Third  Regiment,  was  made  Post 
Commandant  of  camp  "  Edwin  M.  Stanton,"  and  on  June 
8d,  by  Special  Order  No.  118,  William  S.  Lincoln,  Esq.,  of 
Worcester,  now  Lieutenant-Colonel  of  the  Thirty-Fourth  Reg- 
iment, was  appointed  Commandant  of  camp  *'  John  E.  Wool." 
Both  gentlemen  entered  at  once  upon  their  duties. 

June  2d  General  Order  No.  18  was  issued,  giving  notice  that 
three  months'  troops  would  not  be  called  for,  and  urging  our 
citizens  to  complete,  with  as  little  delay  as  possible,  the  thirty 
companies  of  three  years'  men. 

On  the  80th  of  June,  Captain  Cook  having  completed  his 
Battery  for  the  six  months'  service,  received  his  orders  to  march 
to  Washington  and  report  for  duty.  This  Battery  was  recruited 
at  camp  "  Cameron,  "  Cambridge. 

In  order  that  the  militia  of  the  Commonwealth  should  be 
prepared  for  any  sudden  exigency  that  might  arise,  and  be 
ready  to  respond  to  any  call  for  their  services  made  by  the 
President  of  the  United  States,  on  the  first  of  July  General 
Order  No.  25  was  issued  by  directions  of  your  Excellency.  It 
is  similar  to  General  Order  No.  4,  of  the  year  preceding.  I 
quote  it  entire. 

Head-Quarters,  Boston,  July  1,  1862. 
[GsmcRAL  Obdbr,  No.  25.] 

Events  which  are  now  transpiring  may  make  it  necessary  for  the

aX  this  Gommonweahli,  the  Commander-in-Chief  therefore  orders  that 
the  commanding  officer  of  each  company  of  the  Volunteer  Militia 
fTamine  with  care  the  roll  of  his  company,  and  cause  the  name  of  each 
member,  together  with  his  rank  and  place  of  residence, — who  is  ready 
Id  re^Ktod  to  such  call,  and  to  serre  under  the  hiws  of  the  United  States, 
— Id  be  reported  forthwith  to  the  Adjutant-GeneraL  The  term  of 
soriee  for  the  militia  has  been  changed,  so  that  it  is  extended  to  more 
thu  three  months,  hot  the  Commander-in-Chief  believes  that  should  a 
can  be  made,  the  President  would  accept  the  services  of  the  militia  for 
three  months,  and  the  return  may  be  made  with  that  understanding. 

Sadi  members  of  the  Massachusetts  Militia,  who,  from  age,  physical 
defect,  business  or  family  causes  may  be  unable  or  indisposed  to  respond 
aSrmatively  and  at  once  to  the  call  of  the  President,  may  be  discharged, 
so  that  their  places  may  be  filled  by  men  who  are  ready  for  any  public 
exigency- 
After  the  above  Order  shall  have  been  fulfilled,  no  discharge,  either 
of  officer  or  private,  shall  be  granted,  unless  for  cause  satisfactory  to  the 
Goomander-iii-Chief. 

Commanders  of  Companies  will  use  aU  their  exertions  to  recruit 
thdr  companies  to  the  maximum  standard. 

It  b  important,  also,  that  the  Companies  have  frequent  drills,  and 
procure  their  uniforms  as  prescribed  in  General  Orders. 

The  prompt  response  of  the  Volunteer  Militia  of  Massachusetts  to 
die  call  of  the  Commander-in-Chief,  in  April,  1861,  and  in  May  of  the 
present  year,  merits  and  receives  his  profound  thanks,  and  gives  assur- 
ance that,  should  another  call  be  made,  it  will  be  met  with  equal 
akcrity. 

To  promote  the  objects  embraced  in  this  Order,  the  General,  Field 
and  Staff  Officers,  the  Adjutant  and  Quartermaster-Grenerals,  will  give 
an  the  aid  in  their  power. 

The  Company  Rolls  may  be  transmitted  to  the  Adjutant-General 
£rect. 

Commanders  of  Divisions  will  take  immediate  measures  for  the 
execution  of  this  Order. 

By  command  of  His  Excellency  John  A.  Aitdrew,  Governor  and 
Commander-in-Chief.

for  three  years  or  until  the  end  of  the  war,  to  form  new  reg- 

immtSj  and  to  fill  the  ranks  of  those  already  in  service.    The

ADJUTANT-GENERAL'S  BEPORT, 


[Jan. 


Immediately  after,  on  the  7th  of  July,  General  Order  No.  26 
was  issued. 

From  the  annual  returns  made  to  this  offioe  by  the  assessars 
of  the  several  cities  and  towns,  of  men  liable  to  do  militarj 
duty  under  the  laws  of  the  Commonwealth,  it  was  thought  wise 
to  give  in  the  Order  t|;ie  number  of  men  which  each  city  and 
town  would  have  to  furnish,  according  to  their  own  returns,  to 
complete  the  number  of  men  called  for. 

It  was  not  presumed  that  the  assessors'  returns  were  exactly 
correct,  as  proper  attention  had  not  always  been  given  to  have 
them  made  accurate.  They  formed,  however,  the  best  basis 
we  had,  on  which  to  form  an  estimate,  and  therefore  they  were 
given.  Here  is  the  Order,  and  it  may  be  interesting  to  compare 
the  quotas  herein  given  with  those  subsequently  called  for  and 
given  in  this  Report,  under  the  Order  for  a  draft. 


Head-Quarters,  Boston,  July  7,  1862. 
[Gbvsbal  Ordsr,  Ko.  26.] 

A  Call  has  been  made  upon  the  Governor  of  this  Commoo wealth  bj 
the  President  of  the  United  States  for  15,000  Volunteers  to  form  new 
regiments,  and  to  fill  the  ranks  of  those  from  this  Commonwealth  now  at 
the  seat  of  war. 

The  following  table  shows  the  proportion  of  each  city  and  town,  phased 
upon  the  men  enrolled  in  the  Commonwealth  liable  to  do  military  duty, 
as  shown  by  annual  returns  made  to  the  Adjutant-General.

The  Thirty-Second  Regiment  requires  300  men. 

The  Thirty-Third  Regiment  requires  650  men. 

The  Thirty-Fourth  Regiment  requires  800  men. 

The  Thirty-Fifth  Regiment  requires  850  men. 

Becmittng  has  not  yet  commenced  for  the  Thirty-Sixth  and  Tbirty-

fiBed.  The  whole  number  of  men  required  to  fill  these  six  (6)  regiments 
is  forty-seven  hundred  (4,700).  The  remaining  10,300  will  be  r^uired 
to  ISH  up  Massachusetts  regiments  now  in  active  service. 

It  id  of  the  first  importance  that  the  men  be  raised  as  speedily  as 
posnble,  and  the  mayors  of  cities  and  selectmen  of  towns  are  urgently 
requested  to  exercise  their  official  and  pergonal  influence  to  furnish  their 
quotas,  and  to  enlist  the  active  co-operation  of  all  the  patriotic  men  in  the 
cities  aod  towns  in  aid  of  the  same. 

Let  meetings  be  held  in  every  city  and  town,  and  measures  be  adopted 
to  roiew  interest  in  the  great  cause. 

The  men  can  be  sent  to  camp  as  soon  as  enlisted.  Transportation  for 
tbe  same  will  be  furnished  on  application  to  the  Adjutant-GreneraL  A

required  by  city  or  town  authorities,  will  be  given  on  application  to  the 
Commander-in-Chief  or  the  Adjutant-GeneraL 

The  Government  demands  new  regiments,  and  our  brave  men,  who 
have  so  nobly  upheld  the  honor  of  Massachusetts,  call  loudly  from  the 
battle-fields  of  the  South  to  their  brethren  at  home,  to  come  forward  at 
once  and  fill  their  decimated  ranks,  and  take  the  places  of  the  brave  men 
who  have  fallen  and  suffered  in  the  cause  of  the  Union  and  of  American 
CoDstitntional  Liberty. 

By  order  of  His  Excellency  John  A.  Andrew,  Governor  and 
Commander-in-Chief.  • 

William  Schouleb,  Adjutant- General. 

The  eflect  of  the  Order  was  most  beneficial.  The  authorities 
of  the  cities  and  towns,  with  patriotic  emulation,  vied  with 
each  other  which  could  fill  their  quota  first,  and  the  citizens

ardor  into  the  work  of  enlistment.  Town  meetings  were  held, 
and  money  was  appropriated,  in  the  most  liberal  manner,  to 
encourage  recruiting  and  to  carry  into  practical  effect  the  call 
of  the  President,  and  the  Order  of  your  Excellency. 

Many  of  our  regiments  at  the  seat  of  war  had  been  very 
much  weakened  by  losses  in  battle,  and  by  sickness.  It  was 
the  earnest  desire  of  the  authorities  at  Washington,  and  of 
your  Excellency,  that  their  decimated  ranks  should  be  filled, 
in  preference  to  raising  new  regiments ;  and  in  order  to  aid  the 
recruitment  for  the  old  regiments,  a  bounty  of  $4  was  given 
by  the  general  government  for  each  man  who  would  enlist  in 
an  olcl  regiment,  and  $2  for  each  man  who  enlisted  in  new- 
regiments.  To  facilitate  recruiting  for  the  old  regiments,  and 
in  justice  to  a  part  of  our  brave  men,  Special  Order  668  was 
issued  as  follows : 

Head-Quarters,  Boston,  July  80, 1862. 
[Spkcial  Obdbr,  Ko.  568.] 

His  Excellency  the  Governor  directs  that  the  following  letter  of 
Brigadier-General  Fitz  John  Porter,  commanding  the  Fifth  Army 
Corps  in  the  army  of  the  Potomac,  with  the  nominations  attached 
thereto,  be  published  and  promulgated  in  a  Special  Order  from  these 
head*quarters,  as  a  fitting  tribute  to  many  brave  officers  and  men,  and 
as  an  honorable  incentive  to  future  pariotic  effort  and  daring. 

The  Commissions  rea>mmended  will  he  issued  immediately^ 

Copies  of  the  Order  will  be  transmitted  to  Greneral  Porter,  and  through 
him  to  the  Commanders  of  the  corps  of  Massachusetts  Volunteers  he  has 
so  honorably  mentioned.

Hkai>-Quabters,  Boston,  Jnly  16, 1862. 
BiMtruetiom  relative  to  the  New  Recruitment. 
[GnnsAi.  OsDKS,  No.  ST.] 

L  The  commanding  officers  of  all  Massachusetts  corps  in  the  field 
sre  respectfiilly  requested  to  report  at  once  to  these  head-quarters  the 
number  of  men  required  to  recruit  their  several  corps  to  the  maximum 
Btrength. 

n.  The  commanding  officer  of  eadi  Massachusetts  Volunteer  Regi- 
ment in  the  field  which  has  not  already  a  recruiting  depot  in  Massachu- 
setts, is  respectfully  requested  to  cause  to  be  detailed  immediately  a

82  ADJUTANT-GENERAL'S  REPORT.  [Jan. 

III.  Recruiting  papers  will  be  issued  to  the  mayor  of  each  city  and 
to  the  chairman  of  the  board  of  selectmen  of  each  town,  for  the 
enlistment  of  a  number  of  recruits  from  such  town  or  city,  corresponding 
to  its  proportion  as  exhibited  in  the  tabular  statement  contained  in 
General  Order  No.  26. 

The  co-operation  of  aU  municipal  officers  in  this  duty  of  recmitment 
is  respectfully  asked. 

It  is  respectfully  suggested  to  the  municipal  authorities  that  the 
object  of  primary  importance  is  to  fill  our  corps  in  the  field  to  the 
maximum  strength.  Therefore  they  will  encourage  recruits  to  enter 
corps  already  in  service  in  preference  to  those  in  process  of  prinEiary 
organization. 

It  is  earnestly  desired  to  discourage  the  combination  with  the  municipal 
recruitments,  of  persons  wishing  merely  to  obtain  commissions  and  not 
willing  to  serve  in  the  army  of  their  country  otherwise.  All  corps  now 
in  service  are  provided  with  officers.  Vacancies  which  occur  among 
them  are  filled,  as  a  general  rule,  by  promotion  within  the  corps.  More 
than  a  thousand  applications  are  on  the  files  at  these  head-quarters, 
from  parties  not  in  the  service,  but  seeking  to  enter  it  as  commissioned 
officers.  It  is  impossible  to  satisfy  even  a  small  fraction  of  the  number. 
What  the  country  needs,  is  men  for  the  ranks.  There  is  no  lack  of 
men  willing  to  be  officers. 

IV.  Camp  JVool,  at  the  city  of  Worcester,  is  hereby  designated  ,as 
the  general  rendezvous  for  all  recruits  from  the  counties  of  Berkshire, 
Franklin,  Hampden,  Hampshire  and  Worcester. 

Camp  Stanton,  at  the  town  of  Lynnfield,  is  designated  as  the  general 
rendezvous  for  all  recruits  from  the  counties  of  Barnstable,  Bristol, 
Dukes,  Essex,  Middlesex,  Nantucket,  Norfolk,  Plymouth  and  Suffi>Ik. 

Until  further  orders,  or  until  their  regiments  shall  have  been  recruited 
and  moved  from  the  State,  Lieutenant-Colonel  Lincoln,  of  the  Thirty- 
Fourth  Regiment,  will  remain,  as  heretofore,  Commander  at  Camp  Wool, 
and  Colonel  Maggi,  of  the  Thirty-Third  Regiment,  Commander  at  Camp 
Stanton. 

By  special  orders,  an  officer  will  be  detailed  for  duty  at  Camp  Wool, 
as  General  Receiving  Officer  of  Recruits,  and  also  an  officer  as  General 
Receiving  Officer  of  Recruits  at  Camp  Stanton. 

The  Surgeon-Greneral,  Dr.  William  J.  Dale,  will  detail  for  each  camp 
a  Surgeon  with  instructions  to  report  to  the  General  Receiving  Officer 
•of  Recruits  there,  for  duty. 

V.  In  recruiting,  the  municipal  authorities  will  take  especial  care  to 
raccept  no  mai)  not  physically  a>mpetent  for  military  service.  If  prac- 
ticable by  voluntary  effort,  it  will  be  well  if  each  recruit,  before 
(being  accepted  by  them,  shall  be  inspected  by  some  physician  of  the

de^oation  of  counties  in  Section  lY.  of  this  Order.  Transportation  to 
ttid  camps  for  soch  parties  of  recraits,  or  for  lesser  parties  if  municipal 
officers  shall  desire  to  send  them  mwe  frequently,  will  be  furnished  on 
application  b>  the  Adjutant-General ;  or  if  municipal  officers  shall  them- 
sehes  proYide  such  transportation  at  a  rate  not  exceeding  two  cents  per 
■ule  for  railroad  travel  or  at  the  current  rates  for  stage  and  steam-boat 
fores,  it  will  be  reimbursed  to  them  on  application,  with  proper  vouchers, 
to  Capt  Goodhue,  U.  S.  Mustering  and  Disbursing  Officer,  Boston. 

An  recraits  thus  forwarded  will  be  directed  to  report  to  the  General 
Beedving  Officer  of  Becraits  at  the  camp  to  which  they  are  sent ;  and 
'together  with  each  squad,  the  municipal  officers  will  forward,  addressed 
to  sodi  General  Receiving  Officer,  a  list  containing  the  name  and  resi- 
dence of  ea<di  member  of  the  squad,  and  the  corps  into  which  he  proposes

YL  On  arrival  at  Camp  Stanton  or  Wool,  after  reporting  to  the 
Genera]  Receiving  Officer,  all  such  recruits  as  propose  to  enlist  into  the

An  others,  whether  offering  themselves  for  Massachusetts  corps  now 
in  the  field  or  for  new  Massachusetts  corps  now  forming  in  the  State,  will 
remain  in  the  charge  of  the  General  Receiving  Officer. 

The  General  Receiving  Officers  will  cause  each  recruit  so  in  their 
eharge,  to  be  immediately  subjected  to  medical  examination,  unless  he

XL  In  seeking  to  place  the  care  of  this  recraitment  in  the  hands  of 
the  cities  and  towns,  it  is  the  hope  of  the  Governor  to  render  the  move- 
ment in  the  fullest  sense  popular  and  patriotic,  as  well  as  prompt 
and  decisive,  it  being  his  earnest  desire  to  raise  to  their  maximam 
standard  our  veteran  regiments,  rather  than  to  increase  ihe  number  of 
troops  by  adding  inexperienced  corps.  The  economy  and  efficiencj  of 
the  service,  as  well  as  the  safety  of  our  men,  alike  demand  that  this 
shall  be  done ;  while  a  contrary  policy  would  leave  uncared  for  tboee 
older  organizations  whose  conduct  in  the  field  has  added  lustre  to  the 
fame  of  Massachusetts. 

By  order  of  His  Elxcellency  John  A.  Andrew,  Governor  and 
Commander-in-Chiefl 

William  Schoulbb,  A^uUaU-Genetxd. 

A.  G.  Browne,  Jr.,  LieuL  CoUmdj  AfXtanf  Secretary. 

To  facilitate  recruiting,  and  accommodate  the  western  pmrt 
of  the  State,  a  camp  was  established  at  Pittsfield,  the  last  of  July, 
and  was  designated  Gamp  ^^  Briggs"  in  honor  of  Colonel,  now 
Brigadier-General  Briggs,  a  native  of  Berkshire  and  a  citizen  of 
Pittsfield,  who  had  behaved  with  great  gallantry  while  in  com- 
mand of  the  Tenth  Regiment,  in  the  battles  on  the  Peninsula, 
and  between  the  Chickahominy  and  James  Biver,  in  one  of 
which  he  was  severely  wounded. 

As  evidence  showing  the  rapidity  with  which  the  15,000 
men  were  raised,  I  will  state  that  from  the  time  (July  7th)  tlie 
Order  was  issued,  to  the  8th  of  September,  two  months,  upwards 
of  4,000  men  had  been  recruited  for  the  old  regiments  and 
sent  forward ;  four  companies  to  complete  the  Thirty-Second 
Regiment,  and  nine  new  regiments  had  been  formed  and 
organized ;  and  eight  of  the  latter  bad  left  the  State  and  entered 
upon  active  duty. 

The  four  companies  for  the  Thirty-Second  Regiment,  the 
Thirty-Third  Regiment,  Col.  Maggi,  the  Thirty-Fifth  Regiment, 
Col.  Wild,  the  Thirty-Eighth  Regiment,  Col.  Ingraham,  the 
Thirty-Ninth  Regiment,  Col.  Davis,*  the  Fortieth  Regiment, 
Lieut.  Col.  Dalton,  and  the  Forty-First  Regiment,  Col.  Chick- 
ering,  were  recruited  at  Camp  "  Edwin  M.  Stanton,"  at  Lynn- 
field. 

The  Thirty-Fourth  Regiment,  Col.  Wells,  and  the  Thirty- 
Sixth  Regiment,  Col.  Bowman,  were  recruited  at  Camp  "John 
E.  Wool,"  Worcester.

The  Thirty-Seventh  Begiment,  Ool.  Edwards,  was  recruited 
at  Camp  "Briggs,"  Pittsfield. 

Camp  "  Day"  late  Camp  "  Cameron,"  Cambridge,  was  the 
chief  camp  of  rendezvous  for  recruits  for  the  old  regiments. 

In  addition  to  the  new  regiments  recruited  under  this  call 
for  15,000  men  and  the  4,000  men  to  fill  the  ranks  of  the 
regiments  in  service,  two  Batteries,  designated  the  Ninth  and 
Tenth  were  also  recruited  at  Camp  "  Edwin  M.  Stanton." 

The  Ninth  Battery,  Capt.  De  Vecchi,  was  ordered  August 
21st,  and  the  Tenth  Battery,  Capt.  Sleeper,  October  6th,  to 
report  to  the  Adjutant-Greneral  of  the  United  States  at  Wash- 
ington. 

To  organize  and  send  forward  these  troops  required  great 
labor  and  activity  in  this  Department.  During  this  time  the 
Quartermaster-General,  in  consequence  of  private  business  en- 
gagements, was  absent  from  the  State,  and  at  his  request,  the 
Adjutant-General  assumed  his  duties,  which  still  further  ren- 
dered his  labor  incessant ;  they  were  however  greatly  relieved 
by  the  skill,  fidelity,  and  unceasing  attention  paid  to  this  im- 
portant part  of  the  service  by  Mr.  Preston,  the  chief  clerk  in 
the  Quartermaster's  Department. 

The  three  companies  raised  to  complete  the  Thirty-Second 
Regiment,  left  the  State  August  20th. 

The  Thirty-Third  Regiment,  Colonel  Maggi,  August  11th. 

The  Thirty-Fourth  Regiment,  Colonel  Wells,  August  12th. 

The  Thirty-Fifth  Regiment,  Colonel  Wild,  August  22d. 

The  Thirty-Sixth  Regiment,  Colonel  Bowman,  August  81st. 

The  Thirty-Seventh  Regiment,  Colonel  Edwards,  Sept.  5th. 

The  Thirty-Eighth  Regiment,  Colonel  Ingraham,  August  24th. 

The  Thirty-Ninth  ^Regiment,  Colonel  Davis,  September  6th. 

The  Fortieth  Regiment,  Lieutenant-Colonel  Dalton,  Sept.  8th. 

The  Forty-First  Regiment,  Colonel  Chickering,  Nov.  5th. 

All  of  these  regiments,  with  the  exception  of  the  Forty-First, 
vcro  ordered  to  report  at  Washington. 

Tlie  Forty-First  Regiment  was  ordered  to  New  York  to  report 
to  Major-General  Banks,  and  forms  part  of  his  command. 

On  the  4th  of  August,  a  call  was  made  by  the  President  of  the 
United  States  for  800,000  additional  men  to  serve  for  nine 
months,  who  were  to  be  drafted  in  accordance  with  orders  from 
the  war  department  and  the  laws  of  the  several  States.    To

carry  out  and  gire  eflfect  to  this  call  reqmred  great  labor  and 
exact  calculation.  It  was  novel  in  its  requirements,  and  inau* 
gurated  a  system  of  recruiting  of  which  we  had  little  or  no 
eiperieneey  and  therefore  required  the  utmost  caution  and  car6 
in  carrying  it  out,  so  that  no  injustice  should  be  done  to  any 
city  or  town  in  the  Commonwealth. 

The  number  of  men  which  Massachusetts  was  called  upon  to 
furnish  was  19,080.  This  proportion  is  much  larger  than  that 
assigned  under  the  call  for  800,000  three  years'  men ;  but  the 
sum  of  the  two  quotas  (34,080,)  bears  nearly  the  same  propor- 
tion to  600,000  which  the  free  population  of  Massachasetts 
does  to  the  free  population  of  those  States  in  which  the  majority 
of  the  people  have  shown  themselres  loyal,  and  have  supported 
the  government  of  the  Union  during  the  present  struggle. 
This  additional  oall  imposed  additional  labors  upon  this  and 
the  other  depturtments,  and  rendered  more  aniBtance  necessary. 

On  the  28d  ot  August,  William  Rogers,  Esq.,  of  Boston, 
was  appointed  and  conmiissioned  Second  Assistant  Adjutant- 
(^eneral,  with  the  rank  of  Major,  whose  special  duty  was  to  take 
charge  of  and  superintend  all^matters  relating  to  the  draft ;  and 
I  take  this  occasion  to  thank  your  Excellency  for  appointing  so 
efficient  and  excellent  a  gentleman  for  my  assistant.  His 
duties  have  been  very  laborious,  and  requiring  great  mathe- 
matical and  accurate  knowledge.  I  know  of  no  one  who  could 
have  performed  the  duties  of  his  position  more  efficiently,  or 
with  higher  credit  to  himself  and  tiie  Commonwealth. 

From  the  beginning,  all  matters  relating  to  the  draft  were 
placed  in  his  charge,  and  I  have  been  a  daily  witness  of  the 
fidelity,  patience  and  ability  with  which  he  has  fulfilled  them. 
All  that  part  of  this  Report  which  follows,  relating  to  the  draft, 
was  prepared  and  written  by  him. 

Before  proceeding  to  speak  of  the  draft  for  the  nine  months' 
service,  I  insert  the  following  table,  showing  the  number  of  men 
which  each  city  and  town  in  the  Oommonwealth  has  furnished 
for  the  three  years'  and  nine  months'  service,  since  the  war 
commenced,  with  the  exception  of  the  more  recent  three 
years'  enlistments,  of  which  detailed  reports  have  not  yet  been 
received.  The  three  years'  men  make  an  aggregate  of  56,214 ; 
the  nine  months'  men  an  aggregate  of  16,896.  This  is  exclu- 
sive of  6,178  men  in  the  navy,  of  whom  a  detailed  statement  is

PUBLIC  DOCUMENT— No.  7.

BagalMtioDS  for  the  enrolment  and  draft  of  800,000  militia, 
in  porsiuace  of  the  Order  of  August  4,  were  issued  from  the 
Wiar  Deparbnent,  under  date  of  August  9 ;  and  an  additional 
regulatkm  was  issued  under  date  of  August  14,  directing  that 
the  quotas  dumld  be  apportioned  by  the  governors,  among  the 
several  coimties  and  sub-diTisions  of  counties,  so  that  allowances 
riumld  be  made  for  all  volunteers  previously  furnished  and 
mustered  into  servioe,  whose  stipulated  term  of  service  should 
not  haTe  expired. 

No  method  had  been  prescribed  by  law  for  apportioning  the 
numbers  to  be  drafted  among  the  several  counties,  or  sub-di- 
TisioBS  of  counties.    One  of  the  most  natural  methods  would 
be,  oat  of  the  whole  number  liable  to  draft,  to  take,  by  lot, 
every  fifths  or  tenth,  or  twentieth  man,  according  to  the  num- 
ber required.    But,  in  consideration  of  the  fact  that  some  towns 
had  already  sent  to  the  war  one-half  of  their   able-bodied 
dtisens,  while  others  had  sent  only  one-fourth  or  even  less, 
the  War  Department  made  the  additional  regulation  above 
mentiooed,  so  that  the  whole  number  of  those  already  furnished 
and  those  to  be  furnished  would  be  equalized  among  the  several 
towns.  The  numbers  already  furnished  had  been  widely  unequal 
in  proportion ;  there  must  therefore  be  an  inverted,  relative 
ioequali^  in  the  numbers  now  called  for,  in  order  to  produce 
a  final  equality  in  the  whole  contribution  to  the  war. 

It  was  obvious,  that,  in  order  to  give  each  town  credit  for 
all  its  previous  contribution  to  the  army,  a  number  must  be 
assumed,  sufficiently  large  to  include  the  sum  of  all  the  credits 
to  be  deducted,  and  also  the  additional  sum  of  19,080,  repre- 
■entiag  the  present  call.  It  was  also  obvious,  that  this  gross 
sum  must  be  apportioned,  not  upon  the  number  left  at  home, 
but  upon  the  original  capacity  of  each  town,  as  it  existed. before 
any  volunteers  were  sent.  Otherwise,  those  towns  which  had 
previously  sent  but  few  soldiers  to  the  war,  if  now  assessed  in 
pn^iortion  to  the  larger  number  left  at  home,  might  be  called 
upon  to  send  double  the  proportion  of  both  the  past  and  present 
contributions  of  those,  who  had  previously  sent  more  to  the 
field,  and  had  now  a  less  number  remaining  behind. 

Whether  the  apportionment  should  be  made  upon  tiie  popula- 
tion of  the  towns,  or  upon  their  militia  enrolment,  or  upon  the 
able-bodied  citizens  liable  to  draft,  after  deducting  all  exemp-

46  ADJUTANT-GENERAL'S  REPORT.  [Jan. 

tionsy  was  a  question  of  more  difficulty.  The  most  apparent 
objection  to  the  first  two  bases,  was  this.  There  are,  in  several 
towns,  large  proportions  of  seamen,  who  cannot  be  drafted, 
amounting,  in  some  cases,  to  more  than  three-fourths  of  the 
whole  able-bodied  male  population ;  and  these  proportions  vary, 
by  very  diversified  degrees,  in  difierent  towns.  Other  places 
have  large  numbers  of  armorers  in  the  service  of  the  United 
States.  All  of  these  were  enrolled,  but  none  were  liable  to 
draft.  If  deducted  from  the  population,  their  families  must 
also  be  deducted,  and  the  computation  would  be  rendered  vory 
intricate  and  to  a  large  degree  conjectural. 

The  militia  rolls,  returned  by  the  assessors,  in  pursuance  of 
General  Order  No.  88,  were  also  found  to  be  unequal  and 
unsafe,  as  a  basis  of  calculation.  Although  the  directions  for 
making  them  out  were  clear  and  precise,  requiring  an  enrol- 
ment of  ^^  all  able-bodied  male  citizens  between  the  ages  of 
eighteen  and  forty-five,"  and  no  others,  the  assessors  of  diflferent 
towns  exercised  great  diversity  in  the  manner  of  executing  the 
duty.  Some  placed  upon  their  rolls,  not  only  the  able-bodied, 
but  also  the  maimed,  the  deformed,  the  diseased,  the  deaf,  the 
lame  and  the  blind.  Others  enrolled,  not  only  citizens,  but 
temporary  sojourners,  and  aliens.  Others  enrolled  persons 
above  the  ages  of  fifty  and  even  sixty.  Others,  again,  left  off 
large  numbers  of  able-bodied  citizens  within  the  required  ages, 
who  were  supposed  to  be  exempt  for  other  legal  reasons.  And 
while  a  large  portion  of  the  towns  delayed  making  their  returns, 
for  various  causes,  several  towns  which  had  made  them,  applied 
to  have  them  altered  and  amended,  by  striking  out  and  adding 
names,  in  numbers  so  large,  as  to  vary,  materially,  the  pro- 
portion which  their  enrolment  bore  to  the  remainder  of  the 
State. 

In  this  state  of  the  rolls,  it  was  judged  safer  to  make  no 
authoritative  apportionment,  until  the  rolls  had  been  revised 
by  the  drafting  commissioners,  and  their  various  errors  cor- 
rected, at  the  hearings  upon  applications  for  exemption,  and 
thus  reduced  to  a  greater  equality  of  method. 

The  idea  of  a  draft  was,  from  the  first,  very  distasteful 
the  people  of  Massachusetts,  and  they  were  disposed  to  make 
the  most  strenuous  efibrts,  to  raise  the  requisite  number  by

Tolanteering,  before  the  time  for  a  draft  should  arrive.  For 
tiiis  reasoD,  they  were  anxious  to  ascertain  how  many  men  they 
Yoold  be  required  to  raise  in  each  town,  so  that  they  might 
fiumiflh  their  numbers  in  advance.  To  give  the  desired 
infonnation  was  obviously  an  impossibility,  while  two  necessary 
^mfflts  of  an  accurate  calculation  were  wanting,  namely,  the 
Bomber  of  enrolled  militia  in  the  State,  and  the  amount  ot 
oedit  claimed  by  each  town  under  their  selectmen's  returns, 
oUed  for  by  (General  Order  No.  88,  above-mentioned.  Some 
of  the  larger  rolls  of  militia  men,  amounting  to  nearly  one- 
third  of  the  whole  number  of  men,  were  not  received  until 
ilmost  the  very  day  when  they  were  taken  away  by  the  drafting 
omunissionersy  to  be  used  on  their  hearings  ^of  applications  for 
exemption.  And  the  selectmen's  returns  of  men  in  service 
vere  some  of  them  equally  slow  in  coming  in. 

In  the  absence  of  any  reliable  guide  to  a  calculation,  estimates, 
which  were  necessarily  merely  conjectural,  and  stated  to  be  so 
tt  the  time,  were  furnished,  under  that  qualification,  to  those 
tovns  which  desired  them.  Two  causes,  in  particular,  rendered 
these  coDJectoral  estimates  necessarily  erroneous.  One  was, 
th&t  those  portions  of  the  assessors'  rolls  which  were  first 
retnrDed,  were,  on  an  average,  one-sixth  larger  than  the  enrol- 
ment of  the  previous  May ;  while  those  which  were  not  returned 
till  the  very  last,  were  less  than  those  of  May ;  leaving  a 
deficiency  of  5,000  in  the  supposed  basis  of  estimate,  and  of  at 
least  2,000  in  the  result.  The  other  was,  the  large  amount  of 
credits  claimed  by  the  towns,  beyond  any  reasonable  estimate 
ttat  could  be  made  in  advance. 

That  estimate  was  made  in  this  manner : — 
The  36  regiments  of  three  years*  men  (com-

monUis*  Battery,) 1,404 

Total  State  troops, 44,877 

To  these  were  added : —

To  this  add  the  nine  months'  call,  •        •        .  19,080 

Making  in  all, 66,000 

Now,  supposing  the  enrolment  for  the  whole  State  to  be 
180,000,  as  it  would  have  been  if  all  the  rolls  had  borne  the 
same  rate  of  increase  from  that  of  last  May,  40  per  cent,  would 
have  produced  72,000  ;  an  amount  large  enough  to  cover  the 
above  amounts,  and  allow  for  6,000  seamen  in  addition.  And 
even  with  an  enrolment  of  176,864,  as  the  footing  now  appears 
to  stand,  40  per  cent,  upon  that  amount  would  be  70,546 ;  suffi- 
cient to  cover  the  amounts  required,  and  leave  a  liberal  margin 
for  contingencies. 

But  when  the  returns  from  the  selectmen  were  all  received, 
it  was  found  that  the  amounts  of  credits  claimed  were  53,027 
instead  of  47,000,  being  6,000  more  than  the  estimate ;  and, 
as  will  be  seen  by  comparing  the  totals  on  pages  48  and 
44,  nearly  6,000  more  than  are  borne  on  the  descriptive 
rolls  deposited  in  this  office.  This  excess  absorbed,  not 
only  the  margin  allowed,  but  1,500  more,  and,  of  course, 
left  a  deficiency  to  that  amount  in  the  product  of  the 
apportionment.  If  we  deduct  58,027  from  70,545,  we  have 
but  17,518  left,  instead  of  19,080,  the  number  required. 
Besides  this,  several  seaport  towns  obtained  a  proportion  of 
exemptions  so  far  above  the  average  of  the  State,  amounting, 
in  one  county,  to  more  than  three-fourths  of  the  whole  eurol-

mentj  that  a  much  larger  proportioQ  was  tbrown  upon  those 
tovns  in  which  feir  exemptions  were  applied  for  and  obtained. 

The  expectation,  that  a  revision  of  the  rolls  by  the  drafting 
commifisioDers  would  produce  more  of  an  equality,  was  not 
realixed.  In  some  of  the  towns,  where  the  town  authorities 
appreciated  the  effect  ypon  the  apportionment,  they  bestowed 
ooiBiderable  attention  upon  the  business  of  exemption,  and 
proeored  certificates  of  examining  surgeons  for  all  whom  they 
ki»ir  to  be  unfit  for  military  duty.  By  this  means,  their 
iramber  of  men  apparently  liable  to  draft  was  reduced.  In 
other  towns,  the  subject  of  exemption  was  unpopular,  and  the 
oames  of  large  numbers  who  were  really  unfit  for  military 
iotf ,  were  suffered  to  remain  upon  the  militia  rolls.  In  these 
latter  towns,  whose  apparent  number  of  able-bodied  men  was 
di\i8  left  relatively  larger  than  others  having  the  same  popula- 
tioD,  the  apportionment  was  felt  much  more  severely  than  in  the 
brmer  class.  And  in  almost  all,  the  increase  in  the  rate  of  per- 
centage, above  what  they  had  at  first  supposed  would  be  the 
proportion,  caused  by  the  unexpected  amount  of  credits,  and 
the  reduction  of  the  militia  rolls  by  exemptions,  operated  to 
prodooe  dissatisfaction  and  complaint,  until  the  reasons  were 
aplwed.  It  is  much  to  the  credit  of  the  loyal  population  of 
the  State,  that  tbey  have  so  readily  comprehended  the  reasons 
that  have  been  given  for  unavoidable  diversities,  and  cheerfully 
aequiesced  in  the  necessities  of  the  case.  Our  citizens  have 
nttnfally  come  forward,  to  do  their  whole  duty  to  the  country 
in  the  existing  crisis. 

Whatever  inequalities  might  exist  in  the  returns  made  to 
ftis  office,  they  were  not  apparent  upon  the  face  of  those 
leturos,  and  the  most  anxious  care  was  taken  that  no  error 
shodd  be  permitted  in  making  up  the  apportionment.  Impor- 
tant assistance  was  rendered  in  this  respect  by  Mr.  Charles  W. 
Biot,  Assistant-Professor  of  Mathematics  at  Harvard  Univer- 
%j  who  kindly  volunteered  his  services  in  making  the 
oJciilations,  in  company  with  Mr.  Frederic  G.  Bromberg  and 
Mr.  WiUiam  H.  Pettee,  connected  with  the  same  institution  as 
assistant  teachers.  These  gentlemen  computed  the  apportion- 
ments for  the  schedules  of  both  October  1st  and  November  22d, 
gratuitously  devoting  an  entire  day  in  each  instance  to  the 
plicated  and  laborious  work,  and  securing  perfect  accuracy

and  freedom  from  error,  notwithstanding  the  dispatch  with 
which  it  was  carried  through  and  finished.  All  the  inequalities 
which  exist,  were  produced  bj  causes,  which  thb  department  or 
your  own  could  not  control ;  although  every  exertion  was  made 
to  secure  equal  and  exact  justice  to  all. 

Some  towns,  whose  citizens  supposed  they  had  fulfilled  all 
possible  requirements,  and  had  apparently  exhausted  their 
present  ability  to  enlist,  feeling  secure  from  any  further  demand, 
bad  obtained  no  exemptions  for  physical  disabilities ;  but  now 
discovered  that  the  number  which  they  were  called  upon  to 
furnish  was  nearly  doubled,  for  that  very  reason.  Feeling 
the  great  hardship  of  the  call,  they  applied  to  the  Executive 
Department  for  the  privilege  of  reducing  their  militia  rolls  by 
exemptions,  so  that  they  might  stand  on  an  equality  vrith  other 
towns.  It  had  been  ascertained,  that  several  places  had  enlisted 
numbers  of  men  beyond  their  respective  proportions,  and  that 
these  surpluses  formed  quite  a  considerable  amount,  apparently 
sufficient  to  make  up  any  deficiency  that  would  arise  from 
making  the  allowances  prayed  for.  The  privilege  of  rehearing 
was  granted  in  the  cases  which  were  first  presented,  and  in  a 
largo  number  of  others  which  followed  in  consequence  of  the 
first,  until  additional  numbers  of  exemptions  were  allowed  to 
the  amount  of  over  4,000,  reducing  the  product  of  the  appor- 
tionment nearly  2,000.  Applications  from  other  towns  for  the 
same  privilege  continued  to  come  in,  until  the  first  day  of 
October,  the  day  fixed  for  the  draft,  after  which  the  commis-. 
sioners  could  give  .no  further  time  to  hearing  claims  for 
exemption. 

Allowances  were  also  made  for  additional  returns  of  men 
previously  in  service,  but  omitted  by  the  town  and  city  officers 
by  accident  or  mistake.  These  were  much  larger  than  was  an- 
ticipated ;  producing  a  further  reduction  in  the  product  of  the 
apportionment,  of  about '1,500,  exclusive  of  new  enlistments 
for  the  three  years'  service. 

Still,  however,  there  would  probably  have  been  little,  if  any, 
deficiency  in  the  quota  of  Massachusetts,  if  it  had  not  been  for 
a  practice  which  grew  up,  among  some  towns  where  difficulty 
was  found  in  enlisting  their  own  citizens,  of  paying  to  those 
towns  which  had  a  surplus  the  amount  of  their  extra  bounties, 
and  taking  a  transfer  of  their  men  already  enlisted,  instead  of

1863.]  PUBLIC  DOCUMENT— No.  7.  51 

procuring  new  enlistments.  This  practice  arose  from  their 
misinterpretation  of  a  clause  in  General  Order  No.  43,  which 
permits  new  enlistments  in  other  towns,  but  does  not  authorize 
a  transfer  of  men  already  enlisted.  It  was,  at  first,  supposed 
that  the  evil  would  be  small,  and  such  transfers  were  tacitly 
allowed ;  but  the  consequence  was,  that  enlistments  were 
entirely  checked  in  a  large  number  of  towns,  and  surpluses 
akorbed  by  transfers  to  such  an  extent,  as  to  produce  a 
deficiency  in  the  quota  of  the  State  of  nearly  two  thousand 
men. 

At  this  time,  although  information  was  freely  given  that  the 
transfer  of  surpluses  must  necessarily  produce  such  a  deficiency, 
the  citizens  of  tlie  State  had  begun  to  feel  that  they  had  fulfilled 
all  requirements  upon  them,  and  had  avoided  all  necessity  for 
a  draft.  Seventeen  regiments  had  been  nearly  filled,  namely, 
the  Third,  Fourth,  Fifth,  Sixth,  Eighth,  and  Forty-Second  to 
Kfty-Third  inclusive,  and  most  of  them  had  departed  for 
acti?e  service  in  the  field.  The  Fourth  and  Forty-Eighth  still 
▼anted  two  companies  each,  and  another  regiment  which  had 
been  for  a  long  time  vainly  endeavoring  to  fill  its  ranks,  the 
Irish  regiment,  numbered  the  Fifty-Fifth,  contained  some  five  or 
six  companies,  more  or  less  complete.  About  16,800  men  had 
been  mustered  into  the  service  for  nine  months,  and  there  had 
been  about  200  or  300  enlistments  in  the  three  years'  service, 
9n(»  the  call  of  July  2, 1862,  above  the  15,000  that  had  been 
required  of  Massachusetts.  But  no  provision  remained  for  sup- 
plying the  balance  of  nearly  2,000  men  that  were  still  lacking. 

In  this  emergency,  the  War  Department,  on  the  17th  of 
November,  ordered  another  draft  and  a  new  apportionment  to 
make  up  the  deficiency.  In  the  mean  time,  a  large  number  of 
additional  applications  had  been  received  for  leave  to  report 
exemptions,  not  only  among  those  remaining  at  home,  but  in  the 
lists  of  men  in  the  three  years'  service,  the  previous  returns  by 
selectmen  having  made  no  discrimination  between  those  who 
▼ere  and  those  who  were  not  liable  to  draft,  at  the  time  of  their 
enlistment.  Many  towns  had  also  applied  to  make  further 
returns  of  omitted  soldiers.  All  of  these  corrections  were 
allowed ;  and  the  number  of  persons  in  the  State  apparently 
liable  to  draft,  was  thereby  reduced  from  110,638,  (the  number 
reported  previously  to  October  1st,)  to  97,408 ;  and  the  number

62  ADJUTANT-GENERAL'S  REPORT.  [Jan. 

of  persons  in  the  senrioe  who  were  apparently  liable  to  draft  a1 
the  time  of  their  enlistment  was  reduced  from  about  54950( 
to  43,388.  This,  of  course,  rendered  it  necessary  to  increase 
the  percentage  of  apportionment  from  about  forty-four  per  cent 
to  about  fifty-three  and  a  half  per  cent.  A  large  number  o 
towns  and  cities  omitted,  until  it  was  too  late,  to  make  the  dis 
crimination  which  was  asked  for,  between  those  who  were  an( 
those  who  were  not  exempt,  in  tlie  three  years*  service,  an< 
made  application  for  the  privilege  of  doing  so;  but  as  th< 
number  so  omitted  was  probably  as  large  as  five  thousand,  anc 
the  percentage  upon  that  number  would  sweep  away  nearlj 
the  whole  product  of  the  apportionment,  and  render  it  entirelj 
nugatory,  they  could  not  be  allowed.  That  very  evil  had  been 
foreseen,  and  precaution  had  been  taken,  in  (General  Ordei 
No.  56,  to  notify  all  the  towns  that  no  returns  could  be  received 
to  vary  the  apportionment,  after  the  15th  of  November. 

It  is  greatly  to  the  credit  of  the  good  sense,  the  loyalty  and 
patriotism  of  the  people  of  Massachusetts,  that,  although  many 
cases  of  great  inequality  and  hardship  occurred  from  the  omis- 
sions of  town  officers  to^ake  returns,  or  to  obtain  certificates 
of  disability  for  their  citizens,  in  season ;  yet,  when  the  causes 
of  the  inequality  were  explained,  the  entire  accuracy  of  the 
apportionment  demonstrated,  (upon  the  supposition  that  the 
returns  were  all  correct,)  and  the  impossibility  of  now  allowing 
the  corrections  pointed  out,  they  at  once  appreciated  and  acqui- 
esced in  the  necessity  of  the  case,  and  applied  themselves  witb 
zeal  and  energy  to  raise  the  additional  number  of  men  required. 

In  view  of  the  fact  that  it  was  very  desirable  to  increase  the 
number  of  three  years'  troops,  it  was  thought  proper  to  organize 
a  second  cavalry  regiment,  to  be  recruited  in  Massachusetts, 
and  also  to  fill  the  Twelfth,  Thirteenth,  Fourteenth  and 
Fifteenth  Light  Batteries  to  the  required  standard,  at  the  same 
time  promoting,  as  far  as  might  be,  enlistments  to  fill  up  the 
losses  in  the  regiments  in  the  field.  The  nine  months'  regi- 
ments which  were  not  full  were  therefore  consolidated,  and 
General  Order  No.  60  was  issued,  giving  a  liberal  allowance  of 
time  to  those  towns  which  should  turn  their  efforts  towards 
three  years'  enlistments,  in  preference  to  those  for  nine  months. 
The  effect  of  this  policy  was  speedily  seen.    The  towns  came

into  tiie  moTement  with  alacritjr,  and  the  deficient  quotas  hare

The  respoDses  of  Massachusetts  to  the  two  calls,  for  15,000 
three  jears'  men,  and  19,080  nine  months'  men,  are  expected  to

upon  her  citizens,  by  the  President  of  the  United  States.

64  ADJUTANT-GENERAL'S  REPORT.  [Jan. 

It  is  much  to  be  regretted,  that,  in  some  instanoes,  the 
funds,  liberally  and  patriotically  contributed  by  the  towns, 
have  been  bestowed  upon  unworthy  adveaturers  from  abroad, 
who  came  here  with  the  deliberate  purpose  of  securing  the 
bounty,  and  then  deserting,  to  repeat  the  same  operation  in 
another  State. 

The  history  of  the  draft  has  been  given  at  considerable 
length,  not  only  because  the  operation  of  this  means  of  raising 
men  for  the  service  is  a  complete  novelty  to  the  present  gener- 
ation of  our  citizens,  but  also  because  certain  evils  are  apparent 
under  the  present  system,  which  can  be  prevented  by  legislative 
action.  The  laws  upon  the  subject  which  are  now  in  force, 
were  prepared  for  a  very  different  state  of  affairs  from  that 
which  exists  at  this  time,  and  are  unsuited  for  a  war  of  this 
magnitude. 

I.  In  the  first  place  it  may  be  questionable,  whether  any 
system  of  apportionment  whatever,  is  desirable ; — and  whether 
the  draft,  whenever  it  is  necessary,  should  not  be  made  to 
operate  directly  upon  the  able-bodied  citizens  of  the  State, 
without  any  reference  to  town  or  county  boundaries,  or  town 
or  county  action  ;  arranging  them,  perhaps,  in  classes,  accord- 
ing to  their  ages,  and  the  number  in  their  respective  families 
dependent  upon  them,  and  taking  those  classes  successively, 
according  to  the  extent  of  the  emergency. 

II.  But,  however  that  suggestion  may  be  received,  it  seems 
that  if  any  apportionment  is  made,  it  should  be  made  and  fixed 
by  legislation,  before  the  emergency  arises  in  which  a  call  is 
made  for  troops  to  be  speedily  raised.  It  should  not  be  left 
till  the  actual  call,  and  then  computed  upon  returns  made  at 
the  time  by  town  officers,  when  the  want  of  time  to  prepare  them 
accurately,  and  more  than  all,  the  different  and  conflicting  views 
upon  which  tlie  several  towns  will  act  in  ascertaining  and  select- 
ing the  facts  they  are  to  report,  will  prevent  any  uniformity 
or  equality  in  the  apportionment.  Several  columns  in  the 
following  schedule  have  been  arranged,  for  the  purpose  of 
showing  how  inevitably  these  inequalities  will  be  produced, 
by  the  officers  of  different  towns,  and  sometimes  different  officers 
of  the  same  towns,  with  perfect  honesty  of  intention,  and  with 
no  want  of  intelligence  or  skill,  but  merely  because  the  systems 
upon  which  they  made  up  their  returns  were  diverse,  and  had 


Digitized  by 


Google 


1863.]  PUBLIC  DOCUMENT— No.  7.  65 

no  uniformity  of  detail.  Such  must  necessarily  be  the  case, 
where  the  minds  of  men  are  difiTerently  constituted.  If  the 
returns  were  collected  and  reported  upon  a  uniform  system, 
by  State  officers,  acting  throughout  upon  the  same  general 
plan,  and  treating  alike  all  the  yarious  classes  of  cases  which 
com3  in  view,  and*  with  the  time  necessary  to  secure  accuracy 
and  uniformity,  the  present  inequality  of  apportionment  would 
not  exist. 

in.  If  it  should  not  be  thought  desirable  to  have  the  draft 
operate  directly  upon  the  citizens  of  the  State,  but  bounties 
should  be  found  necessary,  it  would  seem  that  such  bounties 
should  be  paid  by  the  State,  instead  of  the  separate  towns,  and 
should  be  uniform  throughout  the  Commonwealth,  without  any 
competition  or  emulation  as  to  the  amount.  It  may  be  a  ques- 
tion woriliy  of  consideration,  whether  all  bounties  should  not 
be  raised,  like  other  taxes  ;  that  is  to  say,  mainly  upon  property 
rather  than  upon  the  proportion  of  able-bodied  men  in  a  town ; 
thus  equalizing  the  burden  of  payment  in  proportion  to  the 
ability  to  pay.  And  if  bounties  are  continued,  more  stringent 
and  severe  measures  are  necessary,  to  prevent  the  desertion 
of  recruits  who  come  from  abroad,  or  have  no  recognized 
residence,  after  receiving  the  money  advanced  for  enlist- 
ment. 

IV.  It  would  also  seem  that  exemptions  for  physical  dis- 
ability should  not  be  made  an  element  of  calculation  in  an 
apportionment  The  average  of  well-founded  causes  of  exemp- 
tion is  probably  very  nearly  the  same  throughout  the  State ; 
but  when  hearings  of  applications  for  exemption  are  had,  some 
towns,  from  their  geographical  position,  facilities  of  travel,  and 
opportunities  for  knowledge  of  individual  cases,  will  be  able  to 
bring  a  much  larger  number  of  bodily  defects  to  the  knowledge 
of  the  commissioner,  tharf  other  towns  which  are  less  favorably 
situated,  or  bestow  less  attention  to  the  subject ;  and  thereby, 
as  has  been  shown  in  the  recent  apportionments  in  this  State, 
much  inequality  will  be  produced,  without  intentional  unfair- 
ness. A  comparison  of  three  diflFerent  calculations  in  the 
following  schedule,  all  based  upon  the  same  state  of  facts,  but 
upon  different  returns,  will  show  what  wide  diversities  of  result 
are  produced,  and  in  a  great  degree  from  this  cause  alone. 
Other  columns  which  have  been  added  to  the  same  schedule,

maj  prove  suggestive  in  other  points  of  view,  in  case  legislation 
upon  tiie  subject  should  be  thought  advisable. 

V.  It  is  also  worthy  of  consideration,  whether  the  list  of 
causes  for  exemption,  now  allowed  bj  statute,  should  not  be 
somewhat  modified.  It  may  admit  of  a  question,  whether  anj 
sufficient  reason  exists,  for  instance,  for  exempting  firemen 
from  draft,  or  officers  who  have  held  a  commission  in  the 
militia.  And  there  can  be  no  doubt  that  persons  employed  in 
the  naval  service  of  the  United  States  should  be  expressly 
exempted,  although  they  are  not  at  present,  either  by  statute^ 
or  the  instructions  issued  from  the  War  Department.

the  United  States,  and  thoroughly  reorganized  for  active  duty, 
and  mustered  into  the  service  of  the  United  States,  together 
vith  the  Battery  of  Light  Artillery,  of  the  First  Brigade,  as  a 
part  of  the  militia  contingent  of  Massachusetts. 

The  organized  corps  now  in  the  State  are  the  First  Battalion 
of  Light  Dragoons,  (two  companies,)  Major  Wilder,  and  the 
coq)s  of  Cadets,  Lieutenant-Colonel  Holmes,  in  Boston ;  tlie 
eompany  of  Light  Dragoons,  in  North  Bridgewater,  Captain

In&ntry,  Captain  Staten,  and  tlie  section  of  Light  Artillery, 
Captain  Wilson,  in  Salem ;  and  the  company  of  Light  Dragoons,

The  number  of  militia  commissions  issued  in  1862  is  nine 
hundred  and  eighty-eight;  officers  in  commission  for  nine 
monflis'  service,  six  hundred  and  forty-seven.  Number  of

During  the  past  year  there  have  been  issued  from  this  office 
siitj-three GeneralOrders, covering  one  hundred  and  seventeen 
manuscript  pages,  against  twenty-eight  Orders,  covering  thirty- 
eight  pages  for  the  year  1861,  and  of  Special  Orders,  thirteen 
hundred  and  twenty-Uiree,  making  four  hundred  and  eighty- 
Bine  manuscript  pages,  against  six  hundred  and  fifty-one 
Orders  of  three  hundred  and  sixteen  pages  for  the  year  186L 

Rve  thousand  seven  hundred  and  twenty  letters,  covering 
upwards  of  thirty-eight  hundre4  pages  have  been  written  and 
recorded  this  year,  against  eleven  hundred  and  eighty-six 
letters  during  the  year  1861. 

Seventeen  hundred  and  twenty-five  commissions  have  been 
wued  during  the  year,  to  officers  of  three  years  troops,  in 
addition  to  the  nine  hundred  and  eighty-eight  militia  and  nine 
months  commissions  before  mentioned. 

Upwards  of  thirty  thousand  certificates  of  enlistment  have 
been  issued  to  families  of  volunteers,  and  the  average  number 
of  persons  visiting  the  office  on  business  is  over  two  hundred 
a  day. 

The  amount  of  labor  required  to  be  performed  has  taxed  to 
fte  utmost  the  powers  of  all  connected  with  this  Department, 
BiDcethe  commencement  of  the  war,  and  the  difficulty  of  doing 
the  work  satbfactorily  has  been  aggravated  by  the  size  and 
JMufficient  ventilation  of  our  rooms. 

Several  of  the  Colonels  of  our  Regiments,  and  Captains  of  our 
Batteries  at  the  seat  of  war,  have  never  failed  to  send  to  these 
Ifead-quarters  a  monthly  report  of  the  condition  of  their 
commands,  but  the  greater  number  have  failed  to  do  it, 
though  requested.  These  monthly  reports  are  of  great

command  of  our  troops  in  distant  fields,  to  have  hereafter 
monthly  reports  sent  here. 

In  order  that  an  accurate  sketch  of  each  Regiment  and 
Battery  might  be  given  in  this  Report,  I  sent  in  October  last  a 
copy  of  the  following  letter  to  each  Colonel  and  Adjutant  of  a 
Regiment,  and  to  each  Captain  of  a  Battery,  and  received  from 
them  the  information  I  desired,  with  two  or  three  exceptions  : — 

Adjutant-General's  Office,  > 
Boston,  Oct.,  1862.       | 

The  time  ia  near  at  hand  whea  I  must  make  my  Annoal  Report  to 
his  Excellency  the  Governor,  and  the  Legislature.  It  is  my  purpose, 
as  it  is  my  wish,  to  be  as  accurate  and  as  full  as  I  can.  I  also  wish  to 
embody  in  it  a  sketch  of  each  Regiment  and  Battery  belonging  to 
Massachusetts,  showing — 

The  camps  occupied,  their  names,  and  location. 

The  marches  made,  and  when  made. 

The  battles  in  which  the  Regiment  or  Battery  was  engaged. 

The  number  of  killed  in  each  battle,  belonging  to  the  Regiment. 

The  number  of  wounded  in  each  battle. 

The  number  of  prisoners  and  missing  in  each  battle. 

The  total  number  of  killed,  wounded,  prisoners  and  deserters  belonging 
to  the  Regiment,  since  the  Regiment  lefl  the  State. 

The  number  who  have   died  from  sickness,  and    such    incidents, 
•  changes,  and  matters  of  interest  as  you   may  deem  valuable  to  be 
preserved. 

I  wish  the  facts  to  be  stated  as  compactly  as  possible,  and  I  shall 
make  good  use  of  them.  It  will  probably  not  be  possible  to  insert  in 
my  Report  the  entire  narrative  of  each  Regiment  and  Battery,  as  it  would 
make  the  Report  too  large.  My  intention  is  to  make  an  abstract  of  each, 
giving  the  prominent  facts  which  it  contains — preserving  in  our  archives 
the  original  documents,  for  future  historians  of  this  rebellion  to  examine, 
when  they  write  the  part  which  Massachusetts  troops  have  taken  in  it 

I  wish  to  have  the  reports  made  up  to  the  10th  of  November,  and 
forwarded  to  me  as  soon  as  possible  after  that  date.     When  my  Report 
is  published,  I  shall  take  much  pleasure  in  sending  a  copy  of  it  to 
yourself,  and  to  each  of  the  officers  in  your  command. 
Respectfully  yours, 

William  Schouler,  AdjtUant' General 

A  circular  was  also  addressed  by  your  Excellency,  on  the  7tb  ■ 
of  November,  to  those  Generals  under  whose  immediate  corn-

EXECUTIVB  DEPABTME2IT,  BoSTON,  > 

Nov.  7, 18C2.  ) 
6E5SSAL, — Bj  my  order  a  circa lar  letter  (of  which  a  copj  is  here- 
wkh  eodoeed,)  has  been  addressed  to  the  commanding  officers  of  the 
Massacbasetts  Volonteer  forces,  for  the  purpose  of  compiling  from  the 
anwers  a  sonunarj  of  the  historj  of  those  forces  since  thej  took  the 
fidd,  for  the  information  of  the  Legislature  of  this  Commonwealth. 

Knowing  that,  daring  the  progress  of  the  war,  troops  of  this  State 
hare  served  under  joar  command,  and  having  reason  to  believe  that 
tkir  services  maj  have  been  not  without  satisfaction  to  you,  I  take  the 
fibertj  to  bring  this  subject  to  yoar  attention.  If,  daring  the  next  few 
ledo,  joQ  shall  have  the  leisure  for  the  purpose,  I  shall  esteem  it  an 
oi^gitiQn  if  joa  wiU  favor  me  with  an  expression  of  your  opinion  of 
the  merits  of  the  Massachosetts  corps  with  which  you  have  had  occasion 
to  be  acquainted, — with  the  understanding  that  I  shall  be  at  liberty  to 
eonmaDicate  your  letter  to  the  Legislature.  And  if  yoo  shall  be  able 
to  make  any  snggestions  of  legislation  by  which  Massachusetts  may 
pnmote  the  efficiency  and  welfare  of  her  soldiers,  they  will  be  gratefully 
reeeWed,  and  I  shall  be  glad  to  present  them  to  the  same  body. 
I  have  the  honor  to  be, 

Respectfully,  your  obedient  servant, 
John  A«  Andrew, 

Governor  of  Masiochuutis, 

Answers  were  received  from  Generals  Grover,  Heintzelman, 
flwdon,  Williams,  Barry,  Abercrombie,  Sully,  Sedgwick, 
DcTcas,  Howard,  Viele,  Wool,  Martiudale,  Burnside,  Phelps, 
Benham  and  Meagher,  which  are  printed  in  connection  with 
fte  historical  accounts  of  several  of  the  regiments  to  which 
^y  particularly  refer,  in  the  following  pages ;  and  a  letter 
containing  valuable  information  and  suggestions  was  received 
'^  reply  to  the  same  circular  from  General  Casey,  which  is 
printed  at  the  end  of  the  narratives  of  the  three  years'  troops. 

In  these  narratives  of  the  several  Regiments  and  Batteries,  I 
baTe  followed  very  closely  the  manuscripts  furnished  me  by  th^ 
sereral  officers.  This  will  account  for  the  difierent  styles  in 
vUch  they  are  written,  and  which  I  trust  will  add  to,  rather 
^  take  from,  the  interest  of  the  whole.

I  regret  that  the  officer  in  command  or  this  regiment  did 
not  make  a  return,  as  requested,  in  sesson  for  insertion  here. 
This  was  the  first  three  years  regiment  that  left  the  State,  and 
the  first  in  the  service  of  the  United  States.  It  has  seen  much 
service,  has  been  in  many  battles,  and  has  always  behaved 
well.  Its  history,  when  written,  will  reflect  honor  upon  the 
Commonwealth.

In  its  original  composition ,  it  was  chiefly  made  up  of  the 
First  Regiment  M.  Y.  M.,  of  which  Colonel  Cowdin  was  the 
commander.  Of  the  field  officers  in  command,  when  it 
departed  from  the  State,  the  Colonel  (Cowdin)  has  been  pro- 
moted to  Brigadier-General.  The  Lieutenant-Colonel  (Wells) 
i«  now  Colonel  of  the  Thirty-Fourth.  The  Major  (Charles  P. 
Chandler)  was  killed  in  one  of  the  battles  between  the  Chicka- 
hominy  and  James  Rirer.    His  body  was  never  recovered.

76  ADJUTANT-GENERAL'S  REPORT.  [Jan. 

For  some  time  a  doubt  existed  as  to  whether  he  was  killed  or 
taken  prisoner ;  that  doubt  does  not  now  exist.  He  was  killed 
at  Malvern  Hill,  Va. 

The  regiment  left  Camp  "  Cameron  "  for  the  seat  of  war  on 
the  15th  of  June,  1861.  It  marched  through  Baltimore  on 
the  17th  of  June,  (the  anniversary  of  the  battle  of  Bunker 
Hill,)  being  the  first  regiment  that  had  passed  through  that 
city  since  the  attack  made  on  the  Sixth  Regiment  on  the  19th 
of  April  previous.  Before  reaching  Baltimore,  ten  rounds  of 
ball  cartridges  were  distributed  to  the  men,  as  a  rumor  pre- 
vailed that  they  would  be  attacked  in  that  city.  The  regiment 
reached  Baltimore  about  10  o*clock  in  the  forenoon.  Before 
leaving  the  cars,  the  muskets  of  the  men  were  loaded  and 
capped.  They  formed  and  took  up  their  line  of  march  for  the 
Washington  depot,  up  Baltimore  Street.  The  streets  on  each 
side  were  crowded  with  people.  The  regiment,  marched  by 
flank  ;  not  a  loud  word  was  spoken,  either  by  the  crowd  or  the 
regiment,  during  this  march.  No  attempt  was  made  to  assault 
the  regiment,  tliough  "  curses  not  loud,  but  deep,"  were  utter- 
ed by  the  bystanders.  There  was  no  waving  of  handker- 
chiefs, although  the  windows  of  the  houses  were  crowded  with 
females.  When  it  reached  the  place  where  the  Sixth  Regiment 
was  attacked,  they  found  a  section  of  Cook's  Battery,  dmwn 
up  to  protect  them.  The  recognition  was  mutual, — Massachu- 
setts men  to  protect  Massachusetts  men.  The  regiment  reached 
the  depot  without  assault.  A  cattle  train  of  cars  was  in  readi*^ 
uess  to  take  them  to  Washington,  into  which  they  entered  and 
moved  on.  At  the  Relay  House,  (ten  miles  from  Baltimore,) 
the  Sixth  Regiment,  (Colonel  Jones,)  and  the  remaining  sec- 
tion of  Cook's  Battery,  were  drawn  up  in  line  and  gave  them 
a  marching  salute,  with  three  cheers  at  the  end  of  it.  No 
other  incident  worthy  of  mentioning  occurred  until  it  reached 
Washington. 

The  regiment  reached  Washington  that  afternoon,  formed  hx 
column  by  company,  and  marched  up  Pennsylvania  Avenue  to' 
Seventh  Street.  No  barracks  or  accommodation  bad  been  pro- 
vided for  tliem,  but  after  some  little  delay,  eight  companies  were 
placed  in  an  unoccupied  building  in  Seventh  Street,  near  the 
Avenue,  and  two  companies  in  an  unfinished  building. on  Sixth 
Street.    Upon  arriving  at  Washington,  it  was  found  that  no

rations  were  provided  for  the  men.  They  had  eaten  nothing 
since  their  last  meal  furnished  at  Philadelphia.  The  oflScers 
had  to  supply  the  men  with  money  to  get  the  necessaries  of  life, 
and  so  things  remained  for  twenty-four  hours. 

At  twelve  o'clock  on  the  21st  of  June  the  regiment  formed 
in  column  and  marched  up  the  Avenue,  was  reviewed  by  the 
President  at  the  White  House,  proceeded  two  miles  beyond 
Georgetown  College  and  encamped  in  a  field,  on  the  Potomac 
Ever,  under  tents,  which  camp  was  called  Camp  "Banks,  in 
Inmor  of  Ex-Governor  Banks. 

On  the  8th  of  July  orders  were  received  for  a  detachment  of 
the  regiment  to  march  to  Great  Falls,  on  the  Potomac,  eighteen 
miles  distant  from  Washington.  The  march  was  made  in  eight 
bours.  From  that  time  till  the  16th,  daily  skirmishing  with 
the  pickets  of  the  enemy  took  place,  but  no  men  were  lost. 

On  the  16&  they  were  ordered  again  to  Camp  "  Banks,"  near 
Georgetown,  which  they  reached  that  evening.  - 

On  the  morning  of  the  17th  orders  were  received  to  break 
«mp,  and  the  regiment  was  placed  in  General  Richardson's 
brigade,  and  crossed  the  Chain  Bridge  in  Virginia,  being 
the  «ivance  of  the  **  Army  of  Virginia,"  to  attack  the  enemy. 
The  regiment  reached  Centreville  that  night  and  bivouacked. 
Early  the  next  morning  information  was  received  that  the 
enemy  was  in  force  four  miles  in  front,  and  at  one  o'clock  in 
the  afternoon  the  regiment  reached  Bull  Run,  where  the  battle 
commenced.  It  is  needless  to  recount  the  disasters  of  that  day. 
The  Massachusetts  First,  from  the  beginning  to  the  end,  bore 
itself  gallantly,  and  if  all  had  done  as  well,  a  different  result 
would  have  happened.  On  the  night  of  the  18th  the  regiment 
fell  back  to  Centreville  and  remained  there  that  night.  On  the 
19th  and  20th  the  regiment  was  engaged  in  skirmishing  and 
advanced  to  the  position  it  held  on  the  eighteenth.  On  the 
ffloming  of  the  21st  of  July  the  engagement  of  the  battle  of 
Bull  Bun  began  between  the  two  armies,  at  half-past  seven 
o'clock,  and  continued  through  the  day,  when  the  Union  army 
retreated.  The  First  Massachusetts  encamped  again  at  Centre- 
^e.  On  the  22d  the  army  retreated  to  Washington,  the 
MasMchusctts  First  forming  tlie  rear  guard.  Tlie  regiment 
^fi>rched  twenty-two  miles  through  a  severe  rain  storm  without 
^J  rations  for  twenty-four  hours.    On  reaching  Chain  Bridge,

the  regiment  was  kept  standing  for  four  hours  waiting  permission 
to  enter  its  eamp,  which  was  in  sight  on  the  opposite  side  of  the 
river.  On  reaching  the  camp  a  good  meal  was  prepared,  and 
they  rested  for  tfie  day. 

On  the  2:1th  July  the  regiment  was  ordered  to  take  possession 
of  Fort  Albany,  on  Arlington  Heights,  Virginia,  where  it 
remained  until  the  7th  of  August,  when  the  regiment  was 
attached  to  General  Hooker's  brigade,  and  marched  toBladens- 
burg,  Maryland,  where  it  remained  until  the  10th  of  September. 
It  was  then  ordered  to  the  lower  part  of  Maryland  to  search  for 
arms  and  military  stores  of  the  rebels  and  cut  off  their  commu- 
nication with  Virgijiia.  They  were  absent  one  month,  in  which 
time  they  marched  272  miles,  and  did  good  service.  During 
that  time  the  men  were  without  tents  and  slept  on  the  ground. 

On  the  13th  of  October  the  regiment  marched  fifty  miles  below 
on  the  Potomac  River  to  Budd's  Ferry,  and  where  it  went  into 
winter  quarters.  The  march  was  made  in  four  days.  At  this 
place  the  men  were  constantly  annoyed  by  shells  from  the  rebel 
batteries  on  the  opposite  side  of  the  river.  Tlie  regiment 
remained  there  until  the  10th  of  April,  18G2.  While  in  camp 
at  Budd's  Ferry  portions  of  the  rpgiment  were  engaged  in  a 
skirmish  on  the  opposite  side  of  the  river,  at  "  Shipping  Point," 
and  took  possession  of  a  lot  of  arms  and  military  stores. 

Since  the  foregoing  was  put  in  type,  a  historical  account  pf 
the  First  Regiment  has  been  received  from  the  Colonel,  and  I 
am  glad  to  avail  myself  of  the  opportunity  to  insert  it,  substan- 
tially, as  it  was  written. 

The  several  companies  composing  the  First  Regiment 
were  mustered  into  the  United  States  service  as  follows: 
for  term  of  three  years,  Companies  A,  B,  G,  and  H,  May  23, 
1861 ;  Companies  D,  F,  K,  and  I,  May  24, 1861 ;  Company  E, 
May  25 ;  and  Company  C,  May  27,  18G1.  Tlie  Field  and  Staff, 
May  25, 1861. 

On  the  first  day  of  June,  18G1,  the  regiment  went  into  camp 
at  Fresh  Pond,  Cambridge,  Mass.,  the  station  taking  its  name 
from  the  lamehted  Ellsworth,  the  remembrance  of  whose  tragic 
death  was  then  fresh  in  the  heaits  of  the  people.  The  duty 
here  was  incessant,  and  Colonel  Cowdin  was  evidently  using

Ids  utmost  endeavors  to  make  his  regiment  a  credit  to  the 
State.  On  the  13th  the  regiment  was  transferred  to  Camp 
CamenHi,  at  North  Cambridge,  and  on  the  afternoon  of  the 
15th  took  up  its  march  for  Boston.  After  the  presentation  by 
the  City  of  Boston  of  a  beautiful  flag,  and  the  receiving  of 
adieus  of  relatives  and  friends  of  its  members,  the  regiment 
onbarkcd,  took  the  ftars  of  the  Boston  and  Providence  Railroad 
and  arrived  at  Washington  June  17 ;  nothing  of  note  having 
occurred  during  the  journey,  if  we  except  tlie  fact  that  this 
was  the  first  regiment  to  pass  through  the  city  of  Baltimore 
after  the  attack.on  the  Sixth  Massachusetts  Militia. 

On  the  aftemobn  of  the  19th  they  proceeded  to  (Jeorgetown, 
D.  C,  where  they  encamped ;  the  march  though  short  being  a 
btiguing  (Hie,  oo  account  of  the  extreme  heat,  and  the  incum- 
brance of  overcoats  and  knapsacks.  The  encampment  was 
called  "  Camp  Banks."  The  4th  of  July  was  suitably  cele- 
bnt^,aDd  a  fine  American  color  was  presented  to  the  regiment, 
on  behalf  of  Boston  citizens  resident  in  California,  by  Senator 
HcDougal. 

About  the  7th  of  July  a  detachment  of  the  regiment,  con- 
sisting of  Companies  I  and  K,  under  command  of  Major 
Chandler,  were  sent  to  tlie  Great  Falls  of  the  Potomac,  eighteen 
miles  above  Georgetown,  to  guard  the  works  of  thp  Washington 
Aqaeduct  at  that  point,  there  having  been,  a  few  days  before, 
a  ikirmish  between  the  enemy  and  our  cavalry  pickets.  Our 
detachment  was  joined,  a  few  days  later,  by  two  companies  of  a 
IGdiigan  regiment.  They  remained  here  until  late  in  the 
afternoon  of  July  14,  when  the  entire  party  were  ordered  back, 
and  marched  all  night,  reaching  Camp  Banks  about  four,  A.  M., 
the  next  morning. 

On  the  16th,  about  three,  P.  M.,  this  regiment,  with  the  rest 
of  file  brigade,  consisting  of  the  Second  and  Third  Michigan 
and  Twelfth  New  York,  under  command  of  Colonel  I.  B. 
Biehardson,  of  the  Second  Michigan,  crossed  into  Virginia  over 
the  Chain  Bridge,  encamping  at  Lewinsville  that  night,  and  at 
Vi^na  the  succeeding  night.  On  the  18th  they  engaged  the 
enemy  on  the  banks  of  Bull  Run,  at  Blackburn's  Ford.  The 
heaviest  of  the  fighting  was  done  by  the  **  First,"  and  consisted 
entirely  of  skirmishing.  Companies  G,  H  and  F  sufiering  the

80  ADJUTANT-GENERAL'S  REPORT.  [Jan. 

Late  in  the  afternoon  the  regiment  was  ordered  to  retire,  and 
fell  back  to  Centreville,  where  they  bivouacked  for  the  night, 
and  on  the  succeeding  day  (19th)  moved  forward  again,  halting 
in  the  woods  on  the  main  road  about  a  mile  short  of  the  battle- 
field of  the   previous  day.     Companies  I   and  K  were  here 
detached,  and,  agreeably  to  ordei-s,  took  possession  of  a  farm 
house  to  the  front  and  left.     Our  pickets  ai>d  those  of  the  enemy 
were  close  together  during  this  and  succeeding  days,  and  shots 
were  often  exchanged.     The  remainder^of  the  regiment  were 
meantime  lying  in  the  woods  until  Uie  afternoon  of  the  21st,  when 
they  again  moved  to  the  front  and  were  engaged.     The  outposts 
were  also  attacked,  on  that  afternoon,  by  wha^  seemed  a  small 
brigade,  and  a  sharp  skirmish  was  the  result.     It  being  impos- 
sible to  hold  the  position,  and  fearing  to  have  their  communica- 
tion broken,  at  above  five  P.  M.  the  detachment  retired  and 
rejoined  the  main  body  of  the  regiment  a  mile  or  two  nearer 
Centreville,  where  they  lay  till  midnight,  when  the  regiment 
brought  up  the  rear  of  what  is  now  known  as  the  Bull  Run 
Retreat.    Tired,  hungry  and  footsore,  the  regiment  reached 
Camp  Banks,  Georgetown,  at  noon  the  next  day,  resting  there 
that  night.    Tlie  next  day  they  crossed  the  Potomac  to  Camp 
Scott,  on  the  plain  before  Arlington  Heights,  and  remained 
there  a  few  days,  when  they  removed  to  Fort  Albany,  where 
they  pitched  their  camp  outside  the  works.     While  remaining 
here  the  companies  were  drilled  frequently  as  artillerists,  and 
al^o  employed  on  fatigue  duty  on  the  fort,  and  in  felling  timber 
in  the  vicinity.     One  or  two  night  alarms  also  occurred.    They 
still  remained  in  Colonel  Richardson's  Provisional  Brigades  till 
August  15th,  when  they  marched  through  Washington  to  Bla- 
densburg,  and  reported  to  Brigadier-General  Joseph  Hooker, 
then  commanding  a  brigade,  consisting  of  the  First  Massaofau- 
setts.  Eleventh   Massachusetts,   Second  New  Hampshire,  and 
Twenty-Sixth   Pennsylvania   Volunteers.      With   this  brigade 
they  have  remained  ever  since,  but  the  number  of  regiments 
has  been  increased.    The  Bladensburg  field  was  called  Camp 
Union.   Here  they  remained  drilling  daily ,  with  an  occasional  re- 
view by  the  President  and  Genpral  McClellan,  till  September  7th, 
when  this  regiment  was  sent  on  an  expedition  into  lower  Mary- 
land.   Its  object  was  to  keep  peace  dunng  apprdaching  elections, 
and  to  ascertain  the  truth  of  rumors  respecting  bodies  of  men

who  were  supposed  to  be  recruiting  for  the  Southern  army. 
They  scoured  thoroughly  thai  portion  of  the  State  embraced 
between  the  Pautuxent  River  and  Chesapeake  Bay,  and  made 
some  captures  of  arms,  accoutrements,  etc.,  including  one  rebel 
flag,  which  bad  a  few  days  previously  waved  from  the  court- 
bouse  of  Calvert  County,  at  Prince  Frederick.  The  time  taken 
up  by  this  marching  and  countermarching  was  just  a  month, 
and  daring  this  time  they  passed  over  some  two  hundred  miles, 
leaefaing  their  old  camp  at  Bladensburg  on  the  7  th  October. 
Tbey  remained  Uiere  some  two  weeks,  during  which  time  Gen- 
eral Hooker  was  placed  in  command  of  the  division,  consisting  of 
his  old  brigade  and  Sickles's  (Excelsior),  together  with  the  New 
Jersey  Brigade.  Colonel  Cowdin,  as  senior  Colonel,  assumed 
eonunand  of  the  brigade,  and  Lieutenant-Colonel  Wells  took 
eonunand  of  the  regiment.  This  command  left  Bladensburg 
October  25th,  and  proceeded  down  the  Maryland  shore  of  the 
Potomac,  arriving  at  Posey's  Plantation,  opposite  the  rebel 
batteries,  at  Dumfries  and  Shipping  Point,  late  in  the  evening 
of  October  27th.  The  last  day's  march  was  an  excessively  hard 
one, but  tbey  were  pushed  through,  as  the  rebel  steamer  Page  had 
been  troublesome  a  day  or  two  since,  and  troops  were  needed 
on  the  ground.  That  night  they  lay  behind  their  stacks,  and 
the  next  day  pitched  their  camp,  calling  it  Camp  Hooker. 
Here  the  drills  of  the  regiment  were  resumed  and  prosecuted 
viii  vigor.  They  also  had  a  line  of  pickets  on  the  river  bank, 
and,  for  some  weeks  after  their  arrival,  a  party  were  sent  at  night 
on  outpost  to  Stump  Neck,  a  projecting  point  formed  by  the 
Chickamoxen  Creek.  The  Jersey  Brigade,  later,  relieved 
them  of  this  duty.  No  orders  came  for  winter  quarters,  nor 
did  the  regiment  have  any  particular  programme  marked  out 
for  it ;  but  early  in  the  new  year  the  men  felled  trees  and  cut 
logs,  and  soon  the  entire  regiment  were  well  provided  with 
houses,  not'of  handsome  exterior,  but  warm  and  comfortable. 
Almost  every  day  the  batteries  on  the  other  side  of  the  river 
opened  on  some  passing  craft,  and  many  of  the  shot  and  shell 
came  over,  some  of  them  in  close  proximity  to  our  camp,  but 
no  damage  was  ever  done.  On  the  morning  of  January  12,  as 
opr  pickets  were  embarking  from  the  neck  opposite,  a  boat's 
crew  of  the  enemy  from  Shipping  Point  came  over,  and  a  few 
ToUcys  were  exchanged,  but  with  no  particular  result,

82  ADJUTANT-GENERAL'S  REPORT.  [Jan. 

The  travelling  having  become  heavy,  a  new  corduroy  road 
was  constructed  from  the  landing  at  Rum  Point,  a  distance  of 
five  miles,  each  regiment  of  the  division  having  their  share  of 
tlie  duty.  On  February  17th  General  Naglee  assumed  cona- 
maiid  of^the  brigade,  and  Colonel  Cowdin  returned  to  that  of 
his  regiment.  During  January  a  schooner  got  ashore  on  the 
Neck  in  attempting  to  run  the  blockade,  and  the  rebel  batteries 
opened  upon  her,  and  afterwards  the  enemy  made  an  attempt  to 
board  her.  Company  A  pushed  off  to  her  in  boats,  and  com- 
pany **  B  "  went  by  another  route  to  the  shore.  A  few  shots 
were  exchanged  by  the  different  parties  with  but  little  eflFect. 

On  the  afternoon  of  Sunday,  March  9th,  large  quantities  of 
smoke  were  seen  to  rise  from  the  batteries  opposite.  At  the 
same  time,  the  gunboats  Yankee  and  Anacosta  dropped  down 
the  river,  and  commenced  shelling  the  works.  Tliey  soon  after 
sent  a  boat  load  of  men  ashore  at  Possum  Nose.  Later  in  the 
afternoon,  heavy  explosions  were  noticed,  and  a  portion  of  this 
regiment  went  over  in  boats ;  these  returned  in  the  evening, 
and  reported  the  place  deserted.  On  the  10th  this  regiment 
with  one  from  the  Jersey  Brigade  marched  to  Rum  Point,  and 
thence  took  barges  to  Shipping  Point.  During  that  day  and 
the  succeeding  one  the  works  were  examined  ;  guns,  ammuni- 
tion and  stores  in  good  order  removed,  and  the  partially  damaged 
destroyed.  About  the  middle  of  March,  the  advanced  portion 
of  M'Clellan's  army  began  to  pass  by  us  down  the  river.  The 
complaints  that  this  regiment  was  to  be  left  idle  here  while  the 
rest  of  the  army  distinguished  itself  were  loud  and  frequent,  till 
on  the  morning  of  April  6th,  with  only  a  few  hours'  notice,  it 
embarked  on  board  the  steamer  Kennebec.  They  did  not  how- 
ever finally  start  till  the  morning  of  the  7th,  and  then  were 
a  long  time  getting  down  the  river,  owing  to  the  rough 
and  boisterous  weather.  On  the  lOtli  April,  at  eight,  A.  M.,  they 
reached  Fort  Monroe  where  they  had  expected  to  disembark, 
but  orders  met  them,  changing  their  destination,  and  they 
steamed  up  the  bay  again,  passing  Ship  Point  which  the 
enemy  had  evacuated  a  few  days  previously,  and  came  to 
anchor  in  Poquosen  Creek,  an  inlet  of  Chesapeake  Bay.  They 
went  ashore  hereon  the  morning  of  April  11th, and  bivouacked 
this  day  in  the  woods  near  the  landing.  On  the  following 
afternoon  they  marched  around  the  Creek,  seven  miles,  to  its

opposite  bank,  and  encamped.  On  the  morning  or  the  16th 
they  moved  forward  to  the  front;  before  Yorktown,  encamping 
in  line  of  battle,  the  division  being  the  centre  of  Heintzelman^s 
corps  (camp  Winfield  Scott.)  Here  began  for  the  regiment  a 
rontiQe  of  picket  and  fatigue  duty.  They  also  stood  to  arms 
ereiy  morning  from  an  hour  and  a  half  or  two  hours  before 
dajL'ght  to  an  hour  or  so  after.  On  the  26th  April,  three  com- 
panies, I,  H  and  A,  were  detailed  under  command  of  Lieutenant- 
Colooel  Greorge  D.  Wells,  for  special  duty.  The  companies  men- 
tioned started  at  three  A.  M.,  and  with  difficulty,  marching  in  tlie 
drizzly  rain  and  over  the  muddy  soil,  reached  their  picket  line,  in 
front  and  somewhat  to  the  left  of  the  position  of  the  regiment, 
aboat  daylight.  The  object  of  tlie  expedition  was  the  capture  of 
t  rebd  redoubt  just  erected,  the  guns  from  which  were  very 
annoying  to  our  pickets  and  working  parties,  which  object  was 
folly  accomplished.  The  regiment  remained  at  camp  Winfield 
Scott  till  the  evacuation  of  Yorktowu  on  the  morning  of  May 
4th,  1862*  The  regiment  was  on  duty  in  the  trenches  the  night 
previous.  At  about  eleven  A.  M.  that  day,  they  with  the  rest  of 
the  division  marched  in  pursuit,  and  bivouacked  that  night,  after 
a  bard  day's  tramp,  on  the  road  to,  and  some  five  miles  short 
of  Williamsbarg.  On  May  5th,  at  an  early  hour,  they  started 
a^,  and  soon  met  the  enemy's  pickets.  The  First  were 
depbyed  as  skirmishers.  An  engagement  took  place  and  lasted 
tni  seven  o'clock  at  nig&t,in  which  the  First  and  Eleventh  took 
a  prominent  part,  and  lost  many  men.  During  the  day  tlie 
men  had  nothing  to  eat,  and  the  rain  was  incessant.  The  losses 
were— killed,  7  ;  wounded,  32 ;  missing,  4  ;  total,  43. 

Tlie  night  of  the  5th  the  regiment  bivouacked  about  one  and 
a  half  miles  in  the  rear  of  the  battle-field,  and  at  noon  of  the 
6ih  moved  forward  and  encamped  on  the  plain  in  front  of  Fort 
Magruder.  Here  they  remained,  recruiting  their  energies  and 
burying  the  dead,  till  the  9th,  when  they  moved  through 
Williamsburg  and  encamped  on  a  large  field  near  William  and 
Mary's  College. 

From  this  date  to  the  15th,  the  regiment,  with  the  r^t  of 
the  brigade,  was  occupied  in  doing  provost  duty  in  tlio  city. 
On  the  15th,  they  again  took  up  their  line  of  march,  and 
bivouacked  seventeen  miles  above  Williamsburg  on  the  Rich- 
mond turnpike.     May  16th,  they  were  again  on  their  way,  and

encamped  two  and  one-half  miles  from  New  Kent  Court-house, 
joining  here  the  other  brigades  of  the  division.  18th,  they 
moved  to  New  Kent  Court-house  ;  19th,  went  to  Baltimore 
Cross-roads  ;  remained  there  till  the  23d,  then  moved  to  withiu 
four  miles  of  the  Chickahominj  River.  On  the  24th  they 
crossed  the  river  at  Bottom's  Bridge,  and  marched  throe  miles 
beyond  to  support  another  brigade  under  General  Naglee, 
in  case  of  necessity ;  but  at  night  returned  and  occupied  the 
ground  of  ^he  previous  night.  On  the  25th,  they  again  crossed 
the  Chickahominy,  and  marched  to  Poplar  Hill,  where  they 
encamped.  They  remained  here  some  few  days,  picketing  the 
different  roads  across  White  Oak  Swamp,  and  standing  to  arms 
every  morning  as  at  Yorktown.  On  the  4th  of  June  they 
moved  to  Fair  Oaks,  where  the  first  battle  had  been  fought  a 
day  or  two  previous.  On  the  6th,  they  went  on  picket  to  the 
extreme  front.  This  they  did  each  third  day  while  remaining 
here,  the  intermediate  time  being  devoted  to  working  on  the 
various  defences  in  process  of  erection,  and  other  fatigue 
duty.  Every  day  saw  more  or  less  skirmishing,  and  constant 
firing  was  kept  up  between  the  pickets  ;  also  artillery  practice 
between  the  contending  forces,  the  shots  flying  in  and  about 
our  camp.  On  June  25th,  in  one  attempt  to  extend  our  picket 
line,  a  general  engagement  was  brought  on,  lasting  from  nine, 
A.  M.,  to  seven,  P.  M.  The  loss  in  this  regiment  was  large, 
especially  in  officers  wounded.  Killed,  ^ ;  wounded,  55 — total, 
64. 

On  Sunday,  the  29th,  the  movement  towards  James  River 
commenced.  This  regiment,  with  the  rest  of  the  brigade, 
marched  to  the  front  and  relieved  the  skirmishers  of  the 
Jersey  Brigade,  and  when  the  entire  line  had  fallen  back  and 
taken  up  another  position  in  the  rear,  this  regiment  followed, 
being  the  last  one  to  leave  the  bloody  and  desolate  field  of 
^^  Fair  Oaks."  At  the  engagement  at  Savage's  Station,  this 
regiment  was  ordered  to  support  Battery  K,  Fourth  U.  S. 
Artillery,  and  a  sharp  engagement  ensued,  of  some  three 
houA'  duration.  They  then  fell  back  in  obedience  to  orders, 
and  followed  the  division,  crossing  White  Oak  Swamp,  bivouack- 
ing that  night  two  miles  on  the  other  side.  On  June  80th,  they 
marched  some  three  miles  in  the  morning,  and  halted  at  Glen- 
dale.  Their  loss  was  heavy.  They  slept  on  the  field  on  the 
night  of  the  battle,  and  early  July  1st  marched  again,  encamp-

iagat  MalTem  Hill  this  day,  and  being  engaged  in  a  skirmish, 
sitppordng  a  battery.  July  2d,  they  started  at  three,  A.  M., 
tod  marched  to  Harrison's  Landing  in  a  driving  storm.  Here 
tbe  entire  army  were  encamped.  July  Sd,  they  moved  back 
some  three  miles  into  an  open  field,  and  on  the  4th  again 
moved,  and  pitched  camp  in  a  piece  of  woods  about  three 
miles  from  the  river.  Here  they  remained  some  days,  being 
eofaged  in  throwing  up  earthworks,  and  doing  other  fatigue 
dutj.  August  2d,  the  brigade  started  as  part  of  a  reconuois- 
eaoe  in  force  to  Malvern  Hill,  but  returned  the  same  night  in 
eooseqoence  of  some  mistake.  On' the  4th,  it  again  started, 
iod  on  the  5th  had  an  engagement  with  the  enemy.  The 
firing,  however,  was  mostly  confined  to  artillery.  At  midnight 
on  the  6th,  they  were  ordered  to  fall  back,  and  arrived  at  camp 
on  the  morning  of  the  7th. 

During  the  succeeding  week  they  remained  inactive,  and  on 
the  morning  of  the  15th,  in  connection  with  the  rest  of  the 
army,  commenced  the  backward  movement  from  James  River. 
During  that  day  they  kept  on  down  the  river  bank,  and 
Ufouacked  that  night  four  miles  below  Charles  City  Court 
kause.  They  started  again  on  the  morning  of  the  16th, 
and  encamped  that  night  near  Chickahominy  River.  17th, 
they  crossed  the  Chickahominy,  and  after  a  long  and  fatiguing 
march,  stopped  at  the  village  of  Barhamsville.  The  succeed- 
ing night  they  bivouacked  near  Williamsburg,  and  on  the  19th 
pissed  through  that  city,  past  the  battle-field,  and  encamped 
tvo  miles  short  of  Yorktown.  They  remained  there  on  the 
next  day,  and  on  the  2l8t  proceeded  to  Yorktown,  and 
embarked  on  board  the  steamer  Yanderbilt.  They  weighed 
aodior  and  started  down  the  river  at  four,  A.  M.,  of  the  22d, 
but  getting  aground  at  the  mouth  of  York  River,  remained  till 
the  next  morning,  when  they  proceeded  up  the  river.  Nothing 
nnosual  occurred  during  the  trip  up  the  Potomac.  On  August 
24th  they  disembarked  at  Alexandria,  and  marching  through 
the  city,  encamped  for  the  night,  near  Fort  Ellsworth.  Late  in 
the  afternoon  of  the  25th,  they  took  the  cars  for  Warren  ton 
Jaoetion,  where  they  arrived  at  nine,  P.  M.  On  the  26th, 
thqr  advanced  their  position  one  mile  and  a  half,  and  early  on 
the  morning  of  the  27th,  started  down  the  railroad  in  pursuit

raid  on  the  railroad  at  Catlet's  Station.  The  men  were  in  light 
marching  order,  and  their  camp  was  left  standing.  About  half- 
past  one,  P.  M.,  they  came  up  with  tlie  enemy  at  Kettle  Bun,  and 
a  brisk  engagement  ensued,  lasting  till  dark,  when  the  enemy 
retreated  towards  Manassas.  The  regiment  that  night  slept  on 
the  battle-field,  two  companies  being  deployed  as  skirmishers 
and  picket  during  the  night.  On  the  28th,  the  camp  equipage, 
officers'  baggage  and  company's  books,  &c.,  which  we  had  left 
behind,  were  burned  by  order  of  Major-General  Banks.  At 
two,  P.  M.,  this  day,  they  continued  on  down  the  railroad, 
passing  Manassas  Junction  to  the  south  side  of  Bull  Run,  near 
Blackburn's  Ford,  where  they  slept  that  night. 

Reveille  was  sounded  at  two,  A.  M.,  on  the  29th,  and  they 
crossed  the  Run  and  proceeded  to  Centreville  Heights,  where 
thoy  halted  till  daylight,  soon  after  which  they  again  moved 
forward,  and  on  arriving  on  the  old  battle-field  of  1861,  became 
engaged  with  the  enemy,  and  what  is  known  as  the  battle  of 
Bull  Run  the  second  followed.  The  loss  of  this  regiment  was 
heavy.  This  night  they  bivouacked  about  a  half  mile  in  rear 
of  the  field.  Early  on  the  afternoon  of  the  80th,  they  were 
moved  forward  in  line  of  battle  to  the  ground  of  the  previous 
day's  conflict,  and  took  position  as  reserve  to  General  Devens' 
Brigade,  being  under  very  heavy  fire.  At  dark,  in  connection 
with  the  whole  line,  they  fell  back  to  Centreville,  where  they 
slept  that  niglit.  On  the  81st,  at  three,  A.  M.,  the  regiment 
advanced  as  skirmishers,  remaining  in  this  position  till  the  next 
morning.  At  five,  P.  M.,  of  September  1st,  Colonel  Cowdin  being 
in  command  of  the  brigade,  and  Captain  Baldwin  of  the  regi- 
ment, they  started  in  the  midst  of  a  heavy  storm  toward  Fairfax 
Court-house.  At  Chantilly  a  skirmish  ensued,  during  which 
they  acted  as  support  to  a  battery  of  artillery,  and  were  under  a 
heavy  fire,  remaining  in  line  of  battle  till  three,  A.  M.,  of  the  2d, 
when  they  started  again  for  Fairfax  Court-house,  tlience  to 
Fairfax  Station,  sleeping  three  miles  beyond.  On  the  3d  they 
proceeded  via  Pohock  Church  to  Alexandria,  where  they  eu- 
camped  near  Fort  Lyon.  On  the  afternoon  of  the  next  day  (4th) 
they  moved  their  camp  forward  some  three-quarters  of  a  milo 
to  a  more  commodious  site,  (near  Fort  Lyon).  They  remained 
there  till  the  13th,  when  they  changed  to  a  position  near 
Fairfax  Seminary,  some  three  miles  from  Alexandria.    At  tiiia

place  tbej  made  quite  a  stay,  resuming  their  drills  and  picket 
dotr,  and  also  being  engaged  in  throwing  up  rifle  pits  and 
other  defences.     On  the  2t)th  September,  Colonel  Cowdin  again 
issamed  command, 'remaining  till  October  8d,  when,  having 
been  promoted  to  Brigadier-General,  he  took  leare  of  the  regi- 
ment, the  command  then  dcTolving  upon  Lieutenant-Colonel 
Baldwin.  October  20th  they  were  ordered  to  garrison  Munson's 
Hill,  9ome  four  miles  from  the  Seminary.     This  position  was  a 
Terj  bleak  and  exposed  one,  and,  the  weather  at  the  time  being 
quite  cold,  for  a  few  nights  they  suffered  severely.     They  left, 
in  obedience    to  orders,  on    November  1st,  rejoining    their 
diTidon  at  the  old  camp,  and  at  five  P.  M.,  on  the  same  day 
marching  wiA  them  in  the  direction  of  Fairfax  Court-house, 
bJTouacking  that  night  at  Annandale.     On  the  2d  they  passed 
Fairfax  Court-house,  and  when  within  two  miles  of  Ceutreville, 
were  ordered  back  to  the  Court-house,  where  they  encamped. 
A  portion  of  the  regiment  were  next  day  sent  to  Fairfax  Station 
to  guard  the  railroad  at  that  point,  together  with  the  commis- 
Hirj  depot  established  there.     A  day  or  two  later  the  remainder 
of  tlie  regiment,  with  the  exception  of  Company  C,  moved  to 
the  Station.     Company  C,  under  Major  Walker  as   Provost 
Marshal,  remained   at  the  Court-house  doing   provost  duty. 
Here  they  remained    till  November  25th,   when   they   were 
ordered  to  rejoin  their  division,  which  had  previously  moved 
towards    the    Rappahannock.     Early  in    the    morning    they 
accordingly  started,  fording  the  Occoquan  River  at  Wolfs  Run 
Shoals,  encamping  in  the  afternoon  near  the  southern   bank. 
They  remained  there  some  days,  awaiting  the  arrival  of  a  hos- 
pital supply  train,  which,  having  arrived,  they  started  again  on 
the  morning  of  December  1st,  and  went  to  Dumfries,  stopping 
tliere  that  night.  On  the  2d  they  passed  through  and  encamped 
a  mile  beyond  Stafford  Court-house,  and  on  the  3d  rejoined  the 
dinsion,  lying  with  the  Army  of  the  Potomac  along  the  Rappa* 
hannock,  in  front  of  Fredericksburg.     The   usual   routine  of 
camp  duties  succeeded,  until  the  11th  December,  when  they 
broke  camp,  and  with  the  rest  of  the  army,  took  position  on  the 
heights  opposite  Fredericksburg  during  the  bombardment  of 
^e  11th  and  12th.     They  were  not  called  into  action,  though 
frequently  changing  position,  but  on  the  18th  they  crossed  and 
took  part  in  the  battle  of  ^at  day,  and  the  two  succeeding

T9  Hk  ExeeUeney  the  Governor  of  Ma$iaehu$eUs :  — 

^,—1  ]»▼€  tke  honor  to  acknowledge  the  receipt  9f  a  Circular  Letter 
froB  the  £xeciitiTe  Department  of  the  State  of  Matsachoietts,  bearing  date 
Korember  7, 1862. 

In  replj  thereto,  and  as  an  act  of  justice  to  those  noble  Regiments,  the 
Fint  Eleventh,  and  Sixteenth  Manachusetts  Volunteers,  which  I  had  the 
hoaor  to  command  during  the  Peninsula  Campaign,  I  beg  leare  to  state  that 
for  soidierijr  bearing  and  brarerj  in  the  field,  thej  hare  been  erery where 
CQiMpicaoas,  and  have,  on  ererj  occasion  which  has  come  under  my  notice, 
done  honor  to  their  State. 

I  wodd  make  special  mention  of  the  Sixteenth  and  First  Regiments. 

I  caanot  suggest  anj  legislation  by  which  the  Massachusetts  Regiments  can 
be  kapnyred.  It  would  be  highly  desirable,  if  it  were  possible,  to  find  some 
■wans  by  which  racancies  in  the  effective  strength  of  Regiments,  doe  to  the 
afaKnce  of  »ck  and  wounded,  could  be  filled,  but  I  can  suggest  no  means  of 
reaehi^  the  difficulty.  I  am,  Sir,  rery  respectfully, 

Tour  obedient  servant, 
C.  G rover,  Brigadier-General  of  Volunteers, 

Head-Quarters,  Defences  of  Washington,    > 
Washington,  December  ITth,  1862.     ) 
Bf  ExeeiUney  Governor  John  A.  Andrew,  BotUm^  MoMsaekusetts : 

Governor, — I  have  had  under  my  coomiand,  during  the  campaign  on 
tke  Peninrala  and  the  short  campaign  with  Greneral  Pope,  in  the  Army  of 
TiTginia,  the  First  Massachusetts,  Colonel  Cowdin,  Eleventh  Massachusetts, 
Cokmd  Blaisdell,  and  the  Sixteenth  Massachusetts,  Colonel  Wyman. 

The  Fuist  and  Eleventh  Massachusetts  Regiments,  under  the  command  of 
Br^adier-General  C.  Grover,  were  engaged  in  the  siege  of  Yorktown,  and  in 
tbe  battles  of  Williamsburg,  Fair  Oaks,  Glendale  and  Malvern  Hill  on  the 
Peiuiisiila,  and  in  General  Pope's  Army,  in  those  of  Kettle  Run,  Bull  Run 
»d  ChantiUy. 

The  Sixteenth  Massachusetts  was  on  the  Peninsula  engaged  in  the  skirmish 
at  Woodland  and  in  the  battles  at  Glendale  and  Malvern  Hill.  With  General 
Pope's  Army  at  Kettle  Run,  Bull  Run,  and  Chantilly. 

At  Glendale  Colonel  Wyman  was  killed  gallantly  leading  his  regiment 

In  afl  those  actions  these  regiments  behaved  with  distinguished  success,  and 
^  State  has  reason  to  be  proud  of  them.  They  have  carried  her  white  flag 
vith  the  foremost 

Tea  have  no  doubt  had  copies  of  the  Reports  of  the  Colonels.  Those  I 
receired,  as  well  as  those  of  the  Brigade  Commanders,  I  enclosed  with  mine  to 
General  Head-Quarters  and  am,  therefor,  unable  to  furnish  you  with  extracts. 

I  am  too  much  occupied  now  to  give  my  views  or  to  enter  fully  upon  the 
nig'ect  of  what  legislation  is  necessary  to  promote  the  efficiency  of  our  Volun- 
teer Army.    I  will  however  make  one  or  two  suggestions. 

Officers  dioald  never  be  elected  by  their  men.     This  course  always  impairs 
the  efficiency  of  troops,  and  is  the  principal  reason  why  straggling  cannot  be

more  effectually  checked.  Measures  should  also  be  devised  for  filling  up  old 
instead  of  adding  new  regiments  to  the  army.  Besides  the  great  additional 
expense,  it  takes  months  to  acquire  the  same  degree  of  discipline  and  efficiency. 
When  a  recruit  enters  an  old  regiment,  he  finds  himself  surrounded  by  dis- 
ciplined soldiers,  and  officers  who  have  acquired  the  art  of  commanding  men 
and  the  knowledge  requisite  to  take  care  of  them.    The  recruit  at  once

Oil  the  8th  day  of  July,  1861,  the  Second  Regiment,  which 
had  been  mustered  into  service  May  11th,  left  Camp  Andrew, 
West  Roxbury,  and  proceeded  from  Boston  to  New  York  by  the 
Providence  and  Stonington  route ;  by  boat  from  New  York  to 
Elizabeth  port,  N.  J.,  thence  by  railroad  through  Harrisburg,  Pa., 
and  it  arrived  at  Hagerstown,  Md.,  a  little  past  midnight  on  the 
morning  of  the  11th.  A  march  of  six  miles  that  afternooa 
brought  it  to  the  banks  of  the  Potomac,  at  Williamsport. 
Fording  the  river  the  next  morning,  it  reached  Martinsburg  the 
same  day,  where  it  joined  the  command  of  Major  Gleneral 
Patterson. 

After  moving  on  the  following  Monday  to  Bunker  Hill,  where 
the  regiment  was  stationed  in  an  important  position^  the  whole 
corps  turned,  on  the  second  day,  to  Charlestown,  from  which 
place  the  regiment  was  selected  to  proceed  to  Harper's  Ferry, 
of  which  town  Colonel  Gordon  was  put  in  charge.  The  whole 
corps  followed  in  a  few  days.  General  Banks  soon  arrived  and 
took  command.  He  continued  the  Second  in  the  occupancy 
of  the  place,  after  the  rest  of  the  corps  was  transferred  to  the

Maryland  side  of  the  river.  When  all  other  force  had  been 
^ibdrawn,  the  regiment  held  the  position,  three  companies 
l^^ng  left  in  the  arsenal  buildings,  under  the  immediate 
ttHnmand  of  Lieutenant-Colonel  Andrews,  and  the  remainder 
of  the  regiment  being  in  bivouac  in  support  of  artillery  on 
Maryland  Heights. 

After  more  than  a  month's  continuance  in  this  post,  the  regi- 
ment was  ordered,  with  most  of  the  corps,  to  lower  parts  of  the 
nver,  and  was  stationed  successively  at  Hyattstown  and  Dames- 
town.  From  the  latter  place  it  received  sudden  orders  to  move 
to  Conrad's  Ferry,  on  the  evening  after  the  battle  of  Ball's 
Bioff,  and  it  accomplished  the  march  before  daylight,  in  spite 
of  rain  and  deep  mud.  It  immediately  picketed  the  river  bank 
for  a  mile,  and  covered  the  removal  of  the  wounded.  A  few 
nigfafs  afterwards,  it  moved  at  a  few  minutes'  notice  to  support 
General  Banks  at  Edwards'  Ferry,  but  returned  before  morning. 
The  regiment  was  then  ordered  to  Seneca  Mills,  where  it 
remained  for  more  than  a  month  doing  severe  picket  duty,  and 
Buffering  mach  from  the  malaria  of  the  river.    On  the  4th  of

96  ADJUTANT-GENERAL'S  REPORT.  [Jan. 

December  the  regiment  took  up  its  march  from  Seneca  for  a 
winter  encampment  near  Frederick,  where  drill  whenever 
possible,  and  daily  military  recitations  by  the  officers  in  two 
classes,  under  Colonels  Gordon  and  Andrews,  occupied  the 
time. 

On  the  27th  of  February,  1862,  the  regiment  crossed  the 
Potomac  at  Harper's  Ferry ;  on  the  next  day,  with  the  Third 
Wisconsin,  accompanied  by  artillery  and  cavalry,  all  under  com- 
mand of  Colonel  Gordon,  it  made  a  reconnoissance  to  Charles- 
town,  and  occupied  and  held  that  town.  In  the  movements 
upon  Winchester,  which  was  evacuated  by  the  enemy  without  a 
contest,  the  regiment  did  its  share.  From  Winchester  it  was 
ordered  to  cross  the  Blue  Ridge  at  Snicker's  Gap,  but  was 
stopped  at  the  Shenandoah,  and  re-marched  to  Winchester,  on 
the  day  after  the  first  battle  there.  In  the  immediate  move- 
n^ent  of  General  *Banks  southward  in  the  valley  the  regiment 
formed  the  advance.  In  the  movement  upon  Jackson,  from 
Strasburg,  this  regiment  again  led  the  column,  under  Lieutenant- 
Colonel  Andrews,  Colonel  Gordon  being  in  command  of  the 
Brigade.  Fighting  took  place  with  the  enemy's  rear-guard 
often  during  the  day,  in  which  the  Second  was  the  only  infantry 
regiment  engaged ;  and  at  three  places,  a  stand  was  made  which 
required  the  use  of  artillery.  The  enemy,  although  sheltered 
by  walls  and  in  woods,  invariably  fell  back  before  the  fire  of  our 
skirmishers,  until  the  destruction  of  a  bridge  at  Edenburg 
caused  a  halt. 

On  resuming  an  advance,  April  17th,  1862,  Colonel  Gordon, 
with  his  own  and  several  other  regiments,  was  sent  to  the  right  of 
Mt.  Jackson  to  flank  the  enemy's  position,  which  had  the  efiect 
of  causing  his  immediate  retreat;  and,  after  a  most  laborious 
march,  the  regiment  bivouacked,  as  usual. 

With  General  Banks'  corps,  the  Second  advanced,  leaving 
Newmarket  April  25th,  and  reaching  Harrisonburg  the  same 
day.  Peremptory  orders  from  the  War  Department  requiring 
General  Banks  to  fall  back  to  Strasburg,  the  impending  battle 
was  prevented,  and  that  place  was  reached. 

On  the  23d  of  May  occurred  the  attack  upon  Colonel  Kenley 
at  Front  Royal.  On  the  next  day.  General  Banks  ordered  the 
retreat  now  famous  for  its  success.  The  Second,  after  a  few 
miles  had  been  passed,  was  sent  to  re-unite  the  wagon  trains  cut

bj  tbe  eDemj,  whose  main  body  was  moving  on  a  parallel  road, 
and  to  drive  the  enemy  from  Newtown.  The  regiment  entered 
Neirtown  against  artillery,  cleared  the  place,  and  held  it  for 
Kveral  hours.  • 

Tbe  national  colors  of  the  regiment  were  ordered  to  be 
vared  from  the  highest  roof  in  the  village,  as  a  signal  to  Gen- 
eral Hatch,  then  supposed  to  be  in  the  rear,  which  was  done 
br  Color-Sergeant  Willis  ton  in  safety,  though  the  enemy's 
shells  were  then  flying  thickly  over  the  town.  About  nightrall, 
Ae  artillery  engagement  ceasing  and  the  abandoned  wagons 
being  set  on  fire,  the  regiment  was  ordered  to  leave  the  town 
and  close  the  retreat,  which  was  done  slowly  in  column  by 
l^toons  with  the  proper  disposition  of  skirmishers  on  either 
flank.  The  enemy's  cavalry  followed  closely  and  twice  attacked 
the  column,  first  by  the  light  of  the  burning  wagons  a  short 
distance  from  tlie  town,  and  afterwards  at  Bartonsville,  some 
miles  beyond.  In  both  instances  they  were  steadily  repulsed 
by  the  companies  of  Captains  Abbott,  Cogswell  and  Underwood, 
and  so  severely,  that  although  urged  and  reproached  by  their 
officers  in  our  hearing,  they  could  not  be  brought  to  another 
attack.  Near  Kernstown  the  regiment  halted,  in  order 
that  its  wounded  might  be  taken  into  a  house,  and  ambu- 
lances sent  for.  Here  an  attack  by  infantry  took  place,  which 
▼as  rigorously  repulsed  by  the  same  companies,  while  the 
main  column,  wakened  from  their  sleep  in  the  road  by  the 
volleys,  fell  in  and  moved  away  under  a  destructive  fire,  with 
tbe  regularity  and  steadiness  of  a  review.  Surgeon  Leland,  and 
Ae  wounded,  were  here  taken  prisoners.  Without  further 
fighdng  the  regiment  arrived  at  Winchester  at  one  in  the 
morning,  and  lay  down  in  a  field  outside  the  town  until 
daybreak,  when  the  enemy  again  appeared  in  force. 

Of  die  two  brigades  present.  Colonel  Gordon  commanded  the 
one  on  the  right,  which  was  immediately  placed  in  position — 
^6  Second  being  on  the  right.  Captains- Cary  and  Savage 
^ere  sent  out  as  skirmishers,  and  under  shelter  of  a  low  wall, 
peaily  annoyed  the  rebel  artillery.  A  conflict  of  two  hours 
ensued.  The  rebels  threatening  to  turn  our  right,  two  regi- 
nwnts  were  moved  in  that  direction,  but  after  a  volley  or  two, 
^ey  broke.  The  Second  was  then  exposed  to  a  heavy  flank  fire ; 
knt  without  shaking  it.    Orders  now  came  to  retreat,  which  was

done  in  perfect  order,  the  regiment  moving  down  the  slope 
by  the  right  of  companies  to  the  rear  under  a  hot  fire.  Passing 
through  Winchester,  under  a  fire  from  the  houses  of  the  citizens, 
U  took  the  road  to  Martinsburg,  in  rear  of  the  brigade,  and 
continued  to  the  Potomac  opposite  Williamsport.  At  daybreak 
the  next  morning  the  companies  of  Captains  Abbott,  Quincj, 
Williams  and  Goodwin,  with  three  from  the  Third  Wisconsin, 
and  a  section  of  Goth  rail's  New  York  Battery,  were  sent  as  a 
rear  guard  to  hold  the  approach  to  the  river  until  the  rest  of  the 
troops  and  trains  had  crossed.  And  here  they  remained  for 
three  days,  until  the  last  wagon  had  crossed  and  the  whole 
corps  were  quietly  in  camp,  when  they  were  relieved  and 
allowed  to  reyoin  their  regiments  on  the  Maryland  shore. 

In  these  engagements  Captain  Mudge  and  Lieutenant 
Crowninshield  were  the  only  oflSfeers  wounded. 

Total  losses — killed,  17  ;  wounded,  47  ;  missing,  84. 

While  at  Williamsport,  Colonel  Gordon  was  made  a  Briga- 
dier-General. The  regiment  was,  after  a  short  period,  made  a 
part  of  his  brigade,  and  has  remained  so  up  to  this  date. 

On  the  10th  of  June  the  regiment  again  left  Williamsport, 
and  by  daily  marches  reached  Bartonsville  on  the  12th  ;  moved 
on  the  18th  to  the  vicinity  of  Front  Royal ;  to  the  neighborhood 
of  Warrenton  on  the  11th  July  ;  retraced  its  steps  to  Gaines' 
Cross-Roads,  and  thence  to  Little  Washington,  on  the  17th, 
where  the  corps  became  a  part  of  the  army  of  Major-General 
Pope. 

On  the  6th  of  August  the  forces  were  moved  forward  on  that 
short  but  unfortunate  campaign.  Three  days  marching 
brought  the  Second  to  Culpepper  Court-House.  The  regiment 
arrived  at  that  place  past  midnight,  and  bivouacked.  Early  in 
the  morning  varying  orders  came,  finally  resulting  iu  the 
departure  of  the  brigade,  under  command  of  General  Gordon, 
with  orders  to  support  General  Crawford,  then  threatened  by 
the  enemy  near  Cedar  Mountain.  It  was  a  terribly  hot  day; 
several  men  fell,  and  one  died  of  sun-stroke,  on  the  road. 
About  noon  the  regiment  was  put  in  its  first  position,  where  it 
remained  during  most  of  the  afternoon.  The  battle  commenced 
about  three  o'clock  in  the  afternoon,  and  was  kept  up  mainly 
with  artillery  for  two  hours.  At  that  time,  General  Crawford's 
brigade,  upon  the  right  of  the  line  as  engaged,  was  severely

snflfermg.  General  (Gordon  was  ordered  to  his  support.  The 
troops  moved  over  the  intervening  space  of  two-thirds  of  a 
mile  instantly,  and  at  tlie  double-quick.  Upon  entering  and 
passing  through  a  wood,  it  was  found  that  by  a  useless  and 
badlj-managed  charge  across  an  open  field,  against  an  enemy 
coDcealed  in  front  aud  flanking  our  right,  Crawford's  brigade 
lad  been  sacrificed,  though  fighting  with  great  bravery. 
General  Gordon,  therefore,  took  the  ground  previously  occupied 
by  that  brigade. 

The  Second  occupied  the  left  of  the  brigade,  on  the  edge  of  a 
wood,  preceded  by  Company  A,  Captain  Abbott,  as  skirmishers. 
The  enemy  were  in  a  wood  about  two  hundred  yards  distant. 
The  firing  immediately  became  very  heavy  on  the  part  of  the 
rdiels,  and  was  returned  with  destructive  steadiness  and  effect. 
Half  an  hour  elapsed  of  most  furious  musketry,  when  the 
enemy  ordered  an  advance.  That  advance  consisted  of  three 
brigades,  against  our  three  regiments.  The  rebel  line 
moved  steadily  forward,  the  fire  of  their  left  soon  enfilading 
oar  right.  There  were  no  troops  at  hand  to  strengthen  that 
|Art  of  our  position,  although  within  sound  of  the  musketry 
lay  thousands  (not  of  General  Banks'  corps)  impatiently  wait- 
ing for  orders.  Our  right  melted  away  under  the  tremendous 
Sre  until  only  the  Second  remained;  but  it  remained  unshaken, 
ihhongh  tife  line  was  rapidly  thinning.  Colonel  Andrews 
ponred  a  terrible  volley  into  the  ranks  of  the  enemy  when  they 
k*d  approached  within  sixty  yards,  when  the  General  ordered 
a  retreat  to  the  former  position.  This  was  accomplished, 
and  the  brigade  was  moved,  in  the  darkness,  to  the  centre  of 
*«  new  line  established  by  General  Pope,  who  had  arrived. 
On  the  right  it  was  thrown  forward  close  to  the  enemy,  and  lay 
^thin  musket-shot.  The  next  day  the  regiment  was  ordered 
to  a  wood  about  a  mile  to  the  left,  where  it  remained  for 
«Teral  days. 

In  this  action,  which  tested  to  the  utmost  the  character 
^^  tiie  regiment,  it  had  five  commissioned  officers  killed, 
^.••—Captains  Abbott,  Williams,  Cary  and  Goodwin,  and 
Mentenant  Perkins ;  five  wounded  and  carried  to  the 
^  viz.: — Surgeon  Leland  and  Lieutenants  Browning, 
Bobeson,  Oakey  and  Grafton  ;  three  wounded  and  taken  pris- 
oners, viz. : — Major  Savage,  (since  dead,)  Captain  Quincy  and

Lieutenant  Miller ;  and  one,  Captain  Russell,  taken  prisoner 
while  endeavoring  to  assist  Major  Savage.  Of  twenty-two 
officers  in  the  engagement,  only  eight  returned  unhurt.  One- 
half  of  the  non-commissioned  officers  were  killed  or  wounded 
and  nearly  one-third  of  all  the  privates.  The  Colonel's  horse 
was  shot  under  him.  Total  loss, — 34  killed,  120  wounded  and 
31  missing.  Sergeant  George,  color-bearer,  who  succeeded  in 
bringing  off  the  colors,  after  a  hand-to-hand  conflict  -  with  the 
enemy,  has  since  been  promoted  for  his  gallantry  on  that  occa- 
sion. Over  fifty  of  the  wounded  were  left  in  care  of  the  Chap- 
Iain  in  a  hospital  which  remained  unmolested  during  tlie  night 
after  the  battle^  though  the  enemy  had  pushed  by  the  house, 
and  were  all  safely  brought  off  by  a  circuitous  route  during 
the  night,  with  nearly  two  hundred  and  fifty  from  other  regi- 
ments. The  dead  were  buried  on  the  following  Monday,  under 
care  of  our  Chaplain,  Rev.  A.  H.  Quint.  And  in  this  connec- 
tion it  is  not  improper  to  speak  of  this  officer,  as  having  always, 
and  especially  in  time  of  action,  been  of  the  greatest  value  to 
the  regiment.  In  conveying  the  wounded  to  places  of  safety 
and  in  identifying  and  burying  the  dead  at  Cedar  Mountain, 
his  energy  and  perseverance  were  of  the  highest  order.  At 
Antietam  his  services  were  the  same. 

From  Culpepper  the  regiment  was  moved,  in  common  with 
the  whole  of  General  Pope's  army,  to  the  north  )^ank  of  the 
Rappahannock,  on  the  19th  of  August.  Hero  for  one  week  it 
was  moved  up  and  down  the  stream  every  day,  being  without 
tents  or  other  baggage,  and  after  the  movement  of  Jackson 
upon  Manassas,  with  little  food,  until  at  times  officers  and  pri- 
vates alike  were  reduced  to  the  growing  corn  around  them. 
Often  under  fire,  performing  hard  marches,  with  no  shelter  at 
night  during  heavy  rain,  moving  daily  to  the  sound  of  the  can- 
non,— the  few  weeks  of  the  service  on  the  Rappahannock 
severely  tasked  the  devotion  of  this  regiment. 

At  the  time  of  the  battles  of  the  29th  and  SOth  of  August, 
at  Manassas,  General  Banks'  corps  lay  within  sound  of  the 
conflict,  but  were  left  idle.  The  next  morning,  the  corps,  sup- 
posed to  be  cut  off  from  the  main  army,  had  orders  to  burn 
all  baggage  and  all  ambulances  save  one  to  a  regiment,  and  by 
a  detour  across  the  Occaquan,  escape  from  Broad  Creek  to  Cen- 
treville,  or  further  north.    The  Second,  by  permission,  saved

Its  train  on  condition  it  sboald  cause  no  delay,  and  being  again 
pkced  in  front,  forded  the  Occaquan,  and  in  the  midst  of  a 
poariiig  rain,  marched  five  hours  without  a  halt.  The  few 
dajs  and  nights  subsequent  were  characterized  by  great  hard- 
diips  and  exposure  ;  but  on  the  2d  of  September  it  came  inside 
the  line  of  the  fortifications  in  front  of  Washington. 

On  the  4th  of  September  the  Second  re-crossed  into  Mary- 
Uod,  moved  up.the  river  through  Rockville  in  the  command 
of  General  Sumner,— General  Banks  being  placed  in  command 
of  the  troops  in  Washington, — and  moved  on  towards  the 
enemy,  day  by  day,  until  on  the  night  of  tlie  16th  of  Sep- 
tember, it  was^at  Antietam. 

On  the  morning  of  that  battle,  September  17th,  the  corps, 
then  commanded  by  General  Mansfield,  lay  in  supporting  dis- 
tance of  General  Hooker,  on  the  right.  It  was  here  that  the 
longest  and  hardest  fighting  took  place.  The  Second  was  not 
ordered  in  until  about  two  hours  after  the  commencement  of 
the  contest.  General  Hooker*s  command  being  badly  shattered, 
the  corps  of  General  Mansfield  reinforced  him.  Formed  in  line 
and  occupying  an  orchard,  the  Second  commenced  its  fire.  After- 
wards, by  a  slight  change  of  front  by  Colonel  Andrews,  a  furious 
crossfire  was  brought  to  bear  upon  the  enemy  opposite,  who 
broke  and  fled,  leaving  their  flag  as  a  trophy  to  the  Second  as 
it  advanced.  From  this  second  position  it  was  afterwards 
ordered  to  retire  a  short  distance,  being  unsupported  by  any 
adequate  force,  which  it  did  in  perfect  order.  It  supported 
batteries  during  the  remainder  of  the  day,  but  towards  night  it 
advanced  a  mile  and  slept  amidst  the  dead  on  the  battle-field. 

The  losses  of  the  regiment  on  that  day  were  as  follows : 
Lieutenant-Colonel  Wilder  Dwight,  mortally  wounded;  Cap- 
tain Francis  and  Lieutenants  Mills  and  Crowninshield,  seriously 
wounded.  Total  loss — 13  killed,  54  wounded,  2  missing. 
lieutenant-Colonel  Dwight  was  wounded  while  in  a  place  of 
comparative  security,  having  previously  ridden  unhurt  in  front 
of  the  line,  waving  the  captured  rebel  flag,  amidst  the  bullets  of 
the  enemy  and  the  cheers  of  our  own  men.  Colonel  Andrews' 
korse  was  wounded,  and  nearly  every  officer  received  a  missile 
in  8ome  part  of  his  clothirtg. 

Two  days  afterwards,  the  regiment  was  ordered  to  Maryland 
Heights;  and  on  the  29th  of  October,  it  left  for  Blackford's

Ford,  on  the  Potomac,  near  Sharpsburg,  where  it  came  under 
command  of  Captain  Cogswell, — Colonel  Andrews  being  made 
a  Brigadier-General,  Lientenant-Colonel  Savage  having  died  in 
Virginia  from  his  wounds,  and  Major  Quincy  being  temporarily 
disabled  by  a  severe  wound  received  at  Cedar  Mountain. 

At  Blackford's  Ford,  the  regiment  was  assigned  to  picket 
duty.  The  ford  is  passable  for  a  mile — being  the  main  one  by 
which  the  rebel  army  left  Maryland  after  the  battle  of  Antietam 
— and  the  duty  has  required  one-third  or  more  of  the  regiment 
constantly  on  duty. 

On  the  25th  of  November,  a  recent  murder  by  the  notorious 
guerilla,  Captain  Burke,  having  excited  attention.  Captain 
Cogswell  was  ordered  to  send  sixty  men  across  the  river  by 
night,  in  the  hope  of  capturing  him.  Captain  Cogswell  led 
the  party  himself,  entered  Shepherdstown  with  good  precaution, 
and  surrounded  two  suspected  houses  before  any  suspicion  of 
his  presence  was  excited.  In  one  house,  Captain  Burke  and 
five  of  his  men  were  waiting,  their  horses  saddled,  ready  to 
depart  on  some  expedition.  Captain  Burke  sprang  from  a 
door,  armed,  and  was  repeatedly  ordered  to  surrender.  Trying 
to  escape,  he  was  fired  upon,  and  killed  by  the  second  shot. 
The  other  five  men,  their  horses,  and  important  papers,*were 
safely  brought  oif.  Captain  Burke  had  long  been  a  terror  to 
the  Union  men  of  Virginia,  being  General  Stuart's  "  chief  of 
scouts." 

The  next  day,  Captain  Cogswell  again  led  the  same  party 
across  the  river,  in  daylight,  secured  the  avenues  from  the 
town,  and  arrested  another  person  sought  for ;  paroled  three 
officers  and  twenty  privates  in  hospital,  and  returned  with  some 
arms  and  papers,  having  completely  surprised  the  place.  Both 
enterprises  were  characterized  by  coolness  and  perfect  success 
in  ever  particular. 

Both  the  former  colonels,  and  all  the  officers  of  this  regiment, 
have  been  repeatedly  commended  in  General  Orders,  and  also 
the  entire  body  of  enlisted  men,  for  courage  and  steadfast- 
ness, as  well  as  for  excellent  drill.  Of  non-commissioned 
officers,  Pattison,  Miller,  Browning,  Phalen,  Powers,  George, 
Sawyer,  Binney  and  Stone  have  been  promoted  to  lieutenancies 
in  the  regiment  for  good  conduct.  Fourteen  of  its  officers  have 
been  promoted  to  higher  positions  in  other  commands.

Sttond  Massachusetts  Regiment  of  Volunteers.  This  regiment  has  ever  been

ever  called  fi>rth  praise  from  its  companions  in  arms,  whether  from  its  own  or

104  ADJUTANT-GENERAL'S  REPORT.  [Jan. 

of  absence,  details,  detachments,  and  frivoloasly  excused  or  friToloiisIj 
detailed  are  in  open  violation  of  the  regulations,  as  well  as  destractive  to 
military  efficiency  of  our  army.  I  can  only  touch  upon  this  topic,  which  is  so 
very  suggestive. 

I  should  add,  that  the  hearty  and  intelligent  co-operation  of  the  officers  of 
the  Second  Massachusetts  Regiment,  from  its  existence  to  the  present  hour,  in 
the  efforts  of  its  commanders  to  compel  unflinching  obedience  to  orders,  both 
of  the  army  regulations  and  original,  is  the  cause  why  Massachusetts  can 
point  with  pride  to  the  Second  Massachusetts  Regiment  of  Volunteers.  I 
enter  not  upon  the  achievements  of  this  regiment  on  the  field  of  battle.  Its 
exploits  are  historical. 

I  can  but  feel  that  much  of  the  success  of  this  regiment  is  due  to  the  mode 
of  its  creation.  I  refer  to  the  appointment  of  officers  who  recruit  their  own 
companies.  The  best  officers  are  thus  secured;  their  military  conduct  is 
independent  of  any  favor  from  their  commands.  In  voluntary  organizations, 
if  this  system  could  be  preserved,  I  can  confidently  predict  greater  efficiency 
everywhere.  I  believe  the  elective  system  impairs  the  efficiency  of  a  military 
organization  to  a  most  fearful  extent. 

It  will  always  give  me  much  pleasure  to  furnish  any  information  for  the 
good  of  the  State.  I  am  proud  of  every  regiment  of  Massachusetts  troops. 
I  am  sure  of  their  superiority  in  fighting  over  any  troops  the  rebels  have  sent 
into  the  field.  I  am,  sir,  very  respectfully. 

Your  obedient  servant, 
Geo.  H.  Gordon,  Brigadier- General  U.  S.  Volunteers, 

Head-Quartkrs  IsT  Division,  12th  (late  Banks')  Corps,  > 
Maryland  Heights,  Dec.  5, 1862.     > 

Colonel, — I  have  the  honor  to  acknowledge  the  receipt  of  your  circular 
letter  of  7th  ult,  covering  one  from  His  Excellency  the  Governor  of  Massa- 
chusetts, asking  for  an  expression  of  my  opinion  of  the  merits  of  the 
Massachusetts  corps  with  which  I  have  had  occasion  to  be  acquainted. 

The  only  Massachusetts  Regiment  which  has  been  for  any  length  of  time 
under  my  command  is  the  Second  Massachusetts  Volunteers,  originally 
commanded  by  Colonel  (now  Brigadier-General)  George  H.  Gordon,  and 
more  recently  by  Colonel  (now  Brigadier-General)  George  L.  Andrews. 
This  Regiment  has  been  in  my  command,  in  Brigade  or  Division,  for  more 
than  a  year. 

In  thoroughness  of  discipline,  in  perfection  of  drill,  in  regularity  and  prompt^ 
neiss  in  camp  and  garrison  duties,  and  the  intelligence  and  fidelity  of  its 
officers,  it  may  well  be  questioned  if  this  regiment  has  its  superior  in  the 
service. 

In  the  actions  at  Winchester,  Cedar  Mountain,  and  Antietam,  as  well  as  in 
several  minor  engagements  in  the  campaigns  of  Banks'  corps  in  the  Shenan- 
doah Valley^-of  the  Army  of  Virginia  oa  the  Rappahannock,  and  of  the 
Army  of  the  Potomac  in  Maryland,  this  regiment  was  especially  conspicuous 
for  coolness,  steadiness,  and  valor.  In  the  battles  of  Cedar  Mountain  and 
Antietam,  its  casualties  were  nearly  one-third  the  number  engaged  iu  action.

110  ADJUTANT-GENERAL'S  REPORT.  [Jan. 

This  regiment  is  composed,  in  great  part,  of  Bristol  County 
men.  It  was  recruited  by  Colonel,  now  Brigadier-Cteneral, 
Couch,  and  is  composed  of  very  excellent  material.  The  report 
of  its  doings  since  it  left  the  Commonwealth,  furnished  by 
Lieutenant-Colonel  Harlow,  is  a  mere  outline  of  its  camps,  its 
marches,  and  its  battles.  The  regiment  has  often  been  spoken 
of  in  General  Orders,  for  its  bravery  and  good  conduct.

Pennsylvania  Volunteers,  of  that  brigade,  and  without  blankets 
or  fires,  stood  by  their  arms,  in  a  drenching  rain,  during  the 
night;  soon  after  daylight  a  detachment  from  Company  K, 
Captain  Reed,  with  a  detachment  from  General  Davidson's 
command,  occupied  Port  Magruder.  The  casualties  in  the

ADJUTANT-GENERAL'S  REPORT. 


[Jan. 


Colonel   Briggs,  who  was  sobsequentlj  promoted  Brigadier- 
General,  for  gallant  conduct  on  the  field. 

On  the  25th  of  July,  1861,  this  regiment  embarked  at  Bos- 
ton on  the  steamers  "  Ben  Deford  "  and  "  S.  R.  Spaulding," 
and  sailed  for  Washington,  where  thej  arrived  July  28th,  and 
disembarked  at  the  Navy  Yard.  On  July  30th  they  encamped 
on  Kalorama  Heights ;  remained  there  one  week,  then  removed 
to  Brightwood,  five  miles  north  of  Washington,  on  the  Rock- 
yille  road,  and  there  remained  without  important  change  till 
March  10th,  1862,  when  the  advance  on  Manassas  was  made, 
at  which  time  the  regiment  marched  to  Prospect  Hill,  Virginia. 

On  the  27th  of  March  they  embarked  at  Washington  for 
Fortress  Monroe,  landed  April  1st,  and  marched  to  Camp 
Smith,  five  miles  from  Hampton.  April  5th,  they  marclied  to 
Warwick  Court-house  and  took  part  in  the  operations  before 
Yorktown.  May  3d,  they  commenced  pursuit  of  the  enemy  to 
Williamsburg,  arriving  at  that  battle-ground  on  the  evening  of 
May  6th,  in  time  to  support  the  right  wing  in  the  last  part  of 
the  battle. 

May  8th,  they  commenced  pursuit  of  the  enemy  up  the  Pen- 
insula and  reached  Savage's  Station,  May  28th,  1862.  May 
31st,  the  enemy  attacked  the  advanced  division,  (General 
Casey's,)  in  great  force,  compelling  it  to  give  way,  and  the 
weight  of  the  conflict  fell  upon  a  portion  of  General  Couch's 
division.  During  the  entire  afternoon  the  Tenth  Regiment  was 
actively  engaged,  and  received  much  praise  for  the-  gallantry 
and  steadiness  with  which  it  sustained  itself,  in  the  face  of 
overwhelming  odds. 

On  the  25th  of  June,  they  were  again  called  into  action,  in 
support  of  the  advance  on  the  left,  which  was  preliminary  to 
the  retreat  to  Harrison's  Landing.  July  1st,  they  were  engaged 
in  the  battle  of  Malvern  Hill,  and,  in  connection  with  the 
Thirty-Sixth  New  York  Regiment  in  the  same  brigade,  almost 
annihilated  an  entire  brigade  of  the  enemy,  consisting  partly 
or  entirely  of  North  Carolina  troops.  August  16th,  they  com- 
menced the  retreat  from  Harrison's  Landing.  August  28th, 
they  embarked  at  Yorktown  for  Alexandria,  landing  September 
Ist.  On  the  same  day  they  marched  to  Fairfax  Court-house 
and  back  to  the  vicinity  of  Alexandria.  September  2d,  they 
marched  to  Chain  Bridge.  September  3d,  they  crossed  the 
bridge  into  Maryland  and  commenced  the  campaign  in  that

State.  September  16th,  they  reached  Pleasant  Valley.  Sep- 
tember 17th,  they  marched  to  Harper's  Ferry  and  back  through 
Eeedjsrille  to  the  vicinity  of  the  battle-ground  of  Antietam, 
vhich  battle  was  fought  that  day.  September  18th,  they  were 
}jaoed  in  the  first  line  of  battle,  but  the  fight  was  not  renewed. 
September  19th,  they  entered  Sharpsburg.  September  20th, 
Aej  marched  to  Williamsport,  driving  the  enemy  back  across 
&  Potomac  at  that  place.  September  23d,  they  marched 
to  DowQsville  and  went  into  camp.  October  20tli,  they 
marched  to  Hancock,  Maryland,  a  distance  of  thirty-two 
miles,  in  twenty-four  hours.  October  22d,  tliey  marched 
back  to  Cherry  Bun  Ford.  October  25th  and  26th,  tliey 
fflirched  back  to  Downsville.  October  80th  and  81st,  they 
mardiwl  to  Berlin,  Maryland.  November  2d,  they  crossed  the 
Potomac  at  that  place  into  Virginia,  and  arrived  November  8th 
at  New  Baltimore,  five  miles  frj)m  Warrenton.  November 
16tb,  they  marched  from  New  Baltimore  and  arrived,  Novem- 
ber 18th,  at  the  camp  two  miles  from  Stafibrd  Gourtrhouse. 

This  brings  the  narrative  of  the  regiment  up  to  November 
18th,  which  date  is  the  last  containing  oflScial  information 
rektiDg  to  it.  It  took  part  however,  in  the  battle  of  Freder- 
icksburg, 11th  of  December,  and  behaved  with  its  accustomed 
gaDantry. 

The  following  analysis  of  the  roster  does  not  show  so  many 
changes  as  some  other  regiments.  Unofficial  information  has 
been  received,  to  the  effect  that  in  consequence  of  an  appoint- 
ment of  a  field  officer  who  was  not  popular  with  many  of  the 
liae  oflkers,  several  of  them  resigned  and  were  dismissed  the 
Msrice.  These  vacancies  have  not  yet  been  filled.  With 
these  exceptioDS,  the  changes  in  the  roster  have  been  as  follows 
linee  the  regiment  was  organized : — 

1  Coboel  promoted  Bri^ier-General  of  Volunteers. 

1  AimUiit-Sargeoa  promoted  Sargeon  18th  Regiment  Mats.  Yolanteers. 

2  Capons  kiUed.

IS  Second  Lienteaants  promoted  First  Lieutenants. 

1  Second  Lieutenant  promoted  Captain. 

1  Second  Lieutenant  killed. 

1  Second  Lieutenant  died. 

^  SecQud  Lieutenants  have  been  taken  from  the  enlisted  men. 
21  Cquosrods  have  been  made  for  this  regiment  during  the  jear  1862.

died  of  their  wounds.  On  leaving  the  field,  bringing  off  their 
regifliental  colors,  4  officers  and  32  men,  thej  volunteered  to 
sQj^Kjrt  a  battery,  after  which  they  rejoined  their  brigade  and 
participated  in  the  pursuit  of  the  flying  enemy,  who  withdrew 
across  the  river.  The  regiment  was  at  this  time  under  com- 
mand of  Captain  B.  F.  Cook,  of  Company  E.  On  the  23d  of 
September,  Colonel  James  L.  Bates  took  command  of  this 
regiment.  From  this  until  November  10th  they  were  mostly 
on  the  march  in  Maryland  and  Virginia,  and  arrived  at  the 
Bappahannock  Station,  November  8th,  near  which  they  en- 
camped. 

At  {he  battle  of  Fredericksburg,  fought  on  the  13th  of 
December,  1862,  the  Twelfth  Regiment  was  in  General. Gib- 
Wg  division.  The  division  was  formed  in  three  brigade 
lines,  and  the  third,  commanded  by  General  Taylor,  had  the 
advance,  the  Thirteenth  Massachusetts  Regiment  acting  as 
^tinnishers  for  the  division.  Colonel  Lyle's  brigade,  composed 
of  the  Twelfth  Regiment,  the  Twenty-Sixth  New  York,  Nine- 
tieth and  One  Hundred  and  Thirty-Sixth  Pennsylvania  Volun- 
teers, formed  the  second  line,  this  regiment  having  the  right. 
The  third  line  was  Colonel  Root's  brigade,  the  Sixteenth  Maine 
l^nng  the  right.  The  position  of  this  regiment  was  taken  at 
nine  o'dock,  A.  M.  The  enemy  were  hidden  from  view  by  a 
ibick  wood.  Our  men  remained  lying  down  until  one  o'clock, 
P-  M.,  under  a  brisk  fire  of  shot  and  shell,  the  skirmishers 
Wng  hotly  engaged  and  the  balls  of  the  enemy  passing  over  us. 

During  these  four  hours  there  was  but  one  man  of  this  regi- 
B^t  injured.  At  one  o'clock  the  signal  to  advance  was  given 
to  the  whole  division  and  immediately  obeyed.  A  heavy  fire 
of  musketry  broke  from  the  whole  line  of  woods  in  our  front. 
General  Taylor's  brigade  stood  the  fire  some  thirty  minutes, 
^ben  the  brigade,  in  which  was  this  regiment,  was  ordered  to 
relieve  them.  As  they  advanced  they  became  separated  from 
the  brigade  by  the  retiring  regiments  of  the  third  brigade,  and 
continued  to.  advance  independently,  taking  a  position  and 
firing  until  their  ammunition  began  to  fail.  Their  brigade 
«*d  fallen  to  the  rear,  and  they  were  alone  until  the  third  line 
came  forward.  Their  solid  ranks  broke  the  right  of  this  line, 
»liich  opened  to  the  right  and  left  to  get  to  the  front,  where  it 
»a8  quickly  formed.  The  Twelfth  Regiment  followed  the  one 
in  their  front,  the  Sixteenth  Maine,  a  short  distance,  and  being

out  of  ammunition,  were  about  to  join  their  brigade  in  the 
rear,  when  they  were  ordered  by^  General  Taylor  to  prepare 
for  a  charge.  The  Colonel  thereupon  gave  the  command  to  fix 
bayonets  and  filed  to  the  right  of  the  brigade  and  charged  with 
them  into  the  wood  in  their  front.  About  200  of  the  enemy 
rushed  through  our  lines  and  gave  themselves  up  as  prisoners 
of  war.  We  carried  the  position  and  remained  some  twenty 
minutes,  expecting  support ;  but  none  was  in  sight,  and  the 
men  were  constantly  falling  before  the  fatal  fire  of  an  unseen 
enemy.  Captains  Ripley,  Reed,  Packard  and  Clark  were 
wounded,  and  a  hundred  of  the  men  had  fallen.  After  con- 
sulting with  the  officers,  the  Colonel  gave  the  order  to  about 
face,  and  they  fell  back  slowly  and  reluctantly,  in  very  good 
order,  bearing  their  tattered  banners  with  them,  to  their 
brigade.  After  reaching  the  position  to  which  they  were 
ordered  to  fall  back,  they  were  supplied  with  ammunition  and 
rations.  They  remained  under  arms  during  the  night,  and 
early  on  the  morning  of  the  14th  were-  ordered  to  another 
position,  where  they  remained  until  the  night  of  the  loth, 
when  they  recrossed  the  river  to  Falmouth  with  their  corps. 

During  the  battle  the  Twelfth  was  under  fire  six  hours,  and 
their  loss  was  chiefly  sustained  during  the  last  two  hours. 
During  that  time  they  had  5  officers  wounded,  and  15  men 
killed,  87  wounded  and  3  missing;  making  an  aggregate  of 
105,  out  of  258  with  which  they  went  into  the  fight. 

Since  taking  the  field  the  losses  in  this  regiment,  are  as 
follows : —

Goremor, — Your  letter  of  November  7th  has  been  received.  In  reply, 
I  voDld  state  that  four  regiments  of  Massachusetts  Volunteers  have  been 
Bsder  my  command,  viz. : — 

Second  Massachusetts,  Colonel  Gordon,  attached  to  my  Brigade  from  July, 
1861,  imtfl  March,  18fe. 

TvelAh  Maaaachusetto,  Colonel  Webster,  from  July  28th,  1861,  until 
May  Ijt,  1862. 

Thirteenth  Maasachnsetts,  Colonel  Leonard,  from  March,  1862,  until  May 

iM,i8e2. 

Fortieth  Massachusetts,  Colonel  Porter,  has  been  attached  to  my  Division 
«^  September  6th,  1862. 

IW  of  these  regiments  have  been  engaged  in  action  while  under  my  com- 
B*Bd  vith  the  exception  of  the  Twelfth  Massachusetts  Volunteers,  which, 
A  <^oection  with  other  regiments  of  my  command,  drove  the  rebels  from  the- 
<Ritkfaaok  of  the  Rappahannock  in  the  month  of  April,  1862.  All  of  these 
f^fBaents  were  disdngnished  for  excellence  in  drill  and  deportment,  and  have 
t^B  among  the  best  troops  I  have  had  the  honor  to  command. 

The  regiments  from  your  State  have  always  arrived  well  armed,  clothed 
*Bd  equipped ;  and  better  supplied  with  camp  and  garrison  equipage  than 
^(^  from  almost  any  other  State.  The  officers  have,  with  few  exceptions, 
°^^  gentlemen  of  soldierly  qualities,  and  well  calculated  to  do  credit  to  the 
^*^  As  none  of  these  troops  have  been  in  action  with  me,  I  can  mention  no 
*ficen  and  men,  with  the  exception  of  my  Aid,  Lieut  Appleton,  Twelfth 
^^^ttachuetts,  who  was  conspicuous  for  gallantry  on  the  Peninsula,  more 
*»P«ially  at  Malvern  HilL    I  have  the  honor  to  be.

living  for  a  week  on  hard  bread  and  coffee  only,  has  affected  i 
•officers  as  well  as  enlisted  men."  He  says :  "  I  regret

152  ADJUTANT^GENERAL^S  REPORT.  [Jj 

It  bad  taken  part  in  the  battle  at  Thoroughfare  Oap  on  1 
arternoou  of  the  28th  of  August. 

It  left  Thoroughfare  Oap  on  the  afternoon  of  the  28th,  a 
encamped  at  night  at  Oainesville.  At  daylight  on  the  momi 
of  the  29th  it  marched  to  Manassas  Junction,  via  Brist 
Station  on  the  Alexandria  and  Orange  Railroad,  and  thence 
a  position  near  the  first  Bull  Run  battle-field,  where 
bivouacked.  Early  on  the  morning  of  the  30th  the  brigade 
which  they  were  was  ordered  forward  to  the  line  of  the  expec 
battle.  During  the  forenoon  their  division  took  position 
massed  column  on  the  right  of  the  line  of  battle  as  a  resei 
and  as  such  made  such  movements  as  were  necessary  to  s 
port  the  advanced  line  in  its  changes  of  position.  In  the  ea 
part  of  the  afternoon,  the  brigade  made  a  reconnoissance  to 
extreme  right.  On  returning,  the  division  marched  to 
extreme  left  of  the  line  of  battle.  After  a  halt  of  a  half-hour,  t 
at  about  four  o'clock,  P.  M.,  the  division,  by  command  of  6 
eral  McDowell  in  person,  returned,  and  when  nearly  oppot 
the  centre  of  the  left  wing,  their  brigade  marched  directly 
the  front  line  then  in  action,  and,  by  a  flank  movement  to 
left,  along  in  rear  of  the  line  of  battle,  formed  on  the  left 
support  of  the  troops,  then  wavering  from  the  crushing  fo 
opposed  to  them,  this  regiment  having  the  left  of  the  enl 
line  of  battle.  Shortly  after  ^gaining  this  position,  it  was  < 
covered  that  our  left  had  *been  flanked  by  a  heavy  force,  c 
this  regiment  especially  was  receiving  the  enemy's  fire  from  i 
directions.  Soon  tlie  supported  line  fell  back,  passing  throt 
the  regimental  line  to  the  rear.  Not  until  thus  uncovered  < 
this  regiment  return  the  fire  of  the  enemy. 

After  nearly  half  an  hour's  brisk  firing,  many  having  b< 
disabled,  it  became  evident  that  the  Thirteenth  could  n 
unsupported,  long  hold  the  position;  exposed,  as  it  was,  t( 
fierce  enfilading  fire  from  both  the  enemy's  artillery  o 
musketry.  At  this  time  their  Colonel  received  an  order 
one  of  General  McDowell's  aids,  to  flank  to  the  woods,  tl 
partly  occupied  by  tlie  enemy,  about  one  hundred  yards  dista 
across  a  small  brook  and  ravine,  much  exposed  to  the  enem 
fire.  While  accomplishing  this  movement,  the  left  wing  of  c 
whole  force  gave  way  generally,  and  this  regiment  retired  v 
the  other  troops,  to  reform  in  the  rear  of  the  hospital.

night  thej  retreat^  about  two  miles  and  bWoaacked,  and  early 
&Q  next  morning  reached  Gentreville. 

The  losses  sustained  hj  this  regiment  at  this  battle  were  19 
killed,  108  wounded,  and  66  missing;  total,  193. 

Aboat  three  o'clock  on  the  13th  of  September,  the  division  to 
vhidi  this  regiment  belonged  marched  from  its  position  near 
KeedfSYille,  on  the  right  bank  of  Antietam  Creek,  to  the 
extreme  right  of  the  anticipated  battle-ground,  by  the  Smoke- 
tDvn  road,  and  halted  near  the  flagerstown  pike.  About  six 
o'clock  tn  advance  towards  the  enemy's  line  was  ordered,  and 
\ff  t  succession  of  manoeuvres,  most  of  the  time  exposed  to  a 
lapid  shelling  from  tlie  enemy's  artillery,  during  which  the 
regiment  suffered  no  casualties,  the  brigade  arrived,  about  eight 
o'clock,  at  a  position  in  line  of  battle,  at  a  short  distance  only 
in  rear  of  our  line  of  skirmishers.  In  this  position  they 
remained  during  the  night,  lying  upon  their  arms.  At  five 
o'dock  on  the  morning  of  the  17th,  the  brigade,  being  in  line 
of  battle,  commenced  advancing,  and  at  six  o'clock  came  under 
the  fire  of  the  enemy,  both  artillery  and  infantry.  Still  advanc- 
ing, by  a  movement  to  tlie  right  and  again  to  the  left,  they 
gamed  a  position  within  about  seventy-five  yards  of  the  enemy's 
line,  and  commenced  returning  their  fire.  From  this  position 
tvo  supporting  lines  of  the  enemy  could  be  seen.  Our  line  was 
pardf  along  the  border  of  a  piece  of  woods,  and  partly  in  an 
open  field.  In  consequence,  their  right  wing  was  more  exposed, 
aad  suffered  more  severely.  For  two  hours,  this  regiment  was 
tbos  spiritedly  engaged.  Their  brigade  was  composed  of  four 
regiments,  of  which  the  Twelfth  Massachusetts  was  on  the  right, 
fte  Kghty-Third  New  York  on  the  left,  and  the  Thirteenth  Mas- 
sachusetts on  the  right  of  tlie  left  wing.  The  battle  raged 
fiercely  at  this  point.  After  a  full  hour's  hard  fighting,  the 
right  wwg  of  the  brig&de,  holding  a  more  exposed  position, 
and  suffsring  a  heavy  loss,  fell  back.  This  regiment  was 
the  last  to  retire,  and  not  until  the  Ninetieth  Pennsylvania, 
which  came  up  as  a  reinforcement  in  the  place  of  the  Eleventh 
Pennsylvania,  and  the  Twelfth  Massachusetts  had  retired  from 
their  right,  and  the  Eighty-Third  New  York  from  their  left,  did 
their  Colonel  receive  the  order  to  fall  back. 

Their  division  having  retired,  shortly  formed  again,  and  were

gain  placed  in  line  of  battle,  where'  they  remained,  awaitin 
>rders. 

The  following  casualties  occurred  on  this  battle :  Killed,  IJ 
rounded,  120 ;  missing,  4  ;  total,  189.  For  the  part  whu 
he  Thirteenth  Regiment  took  at  the  battle  of  Fredericksbur 
^a.,  I  am  indebted  to  a  letter  from  Adjutant  Bradley,  fro 
rhich  I  make  the  following  extract,  dated  Falmouth,  Vi 
)ecember  17th,  1862  :— 

"  Enclosed  please  to  find  list  of  casualties  for  Dr.  Dale,  which  I  am  hap 
o  state  is  the  smallest  of  any  regiment  I  have  heard  of  in  the  division.  1 
«giment  crossed  without  any  loss  on  the  night— or  rather  recrossed^-of  I 
L5th,  leaving  the  left  wing  in  front  of  the  rebel  lines,  without  a  man  know] 
we  were  moving.  All  the  pickets  came  safely  acro«  before  sonriae  on  t 
1 6th  and  rejoined  us  on  the  march  at  an  early  hoar.  When  we  first  crosi 
>n  Friday  the  12th,  at  an  early  hour,  the  brigade  was  at  once  advanced 
Tont  of  the  division,  and  this  regiment  deployed  and  advanced  as  skirmishc 
^e  finally  met  theirs,  and  they  at  once  began  to  retire  over  a  large  pli 
irith  here  or  there  a  clump  of  trees,  until  they  arrived  at  the  skirt  of  the  wo< 
extending  a  distance,  nearly  covering  the  front  of  the  brigade.  We  got  a  f 
position  on  a  road  fronting  them,  with  a  ditch  parallel,  and  then  we  picket 
&11  night,  having  a  third  of  the  regiment  on,  and  relieved  every  two  hours. 

No  shots  were  exchanged  that  night  in  our  front  Very  hasty  cups  of  coi 
were  drank  that  morning  by  the  boys,  and  every  officer  and  man  in  the  re 
ment  was  tired  enough  to  sleep,  had  time  been  granted,  but  before  noon  i 
brigades  were  formed  in  line  of  battle,  and  skirmishers  pushed  forward  to  1 
brow  of  a  slight  declivity,  the  rebels  retiring  into  the  woods,  and  the  crack 
the  skirmishers  began.  All  the  brigades  advanced  over  the  fence  and  dii 
and  remained  lying  down.  Our  right  connected  with  Mead's  Division,  and 
left  with  Doubleday's  Pennsylvania  reserves.  The  right  of  the  brigade  was 
Eighty-Eighth  Pennsylvania,  who  broke,  and  came  near  breaking  up  the  n€ 
of  Jones's.  But  General  Taylor  got  them  in,  and  then  we  remained  for  a  i 
hours  under  the  cross-fire  of  several  batteries.  Our  men  laid  very  close,  i 
kept  up  a  brisk  fire  on  the  rebels,  who  gave  them  no  show,  except  by  the  fl 
or  smoke  of  their  rifles.  We  suffered  very  little,  as  the  shot  went  over  i 
struck  in  the  rear  regiments.  That  was  a  time  to.  show  the  metal  of  m 
The  continuous  thug  of  the  bullets,  as  they  struck  around  every  man  as 
rose  up  to  fire,  and  the  fact  that  there  were  less  than  three  hundred  men 
front  of  three  brigades,  every  man's  actions  to  be  seen  by  thoee  in  the  re 
and  not  knowing  any  thing  but  what  was  going  on  in  front,  proved  the  gn\ 
what  remains  of  our  regiment  At  the  general  advance,  shortly  after  no 
our  regiment  began  to  fire  rapidly  as  they  could  from  kneeling  position,  u 
the  brigades  advanced  over  them  and  commenced  the  battle  in  earnest,  as 
press  has  it  The  Thirteenth  was  ordered  to  rally  upon  their  reserve  of  < 
companies,  and  sent  nearly  half  a  mile  to  the  rear  for  ammunition,  which  tl 
got,  after  a  long  time,  and  the  brigade  had  mostly  fallen  back  and  formed  on

ud  die  rebels  who  were  piled  tier  on  tier  behind  trees  and  felled  woods.  I 
tliak  tlieir  loss  must  be  nearly  one-third  of  the  command.  Colonel  Bates,  of 
tbe  Manadiasetta  TwelfU^  is  highly  spoken  of  for  his  conduct  The  loss  in 
tkii  brigade  was  295  by  my  reports  of  to-day,  and  we  have  1,286  officers  and

This  regiment,  commonly  known  as  the  "Essex  Couni 
Regiment,"  from  its  having  been  mostly  raised  in  that  part  < 
the  State,  was  mustered  into  the  service  of  the  United  State 
July  5th,  1861,  at  Fort  Warren.  On  the  7th  of  August, 
left  Fort  Warren,  for  Washington,  and,  upon  arriving  ther 
was  ordered  to  Camp  Kalorama,  Meridian  Heights,  Marylani 
where  it  remained  until  on  the  18ih  of  the  same  month,  whe 
it  was  ordered  to  cross  the  Potomac  and  garrison  Fort  Albau; 
considered  at  that  time  the  key  to  Washington.  Shortly  aft( 
this,  it  was  called  upon  to  furnish  a  garrison  for  Fort  Runyc 
and  the  works  at  the  head  of  the  Long  Bridge. 

On  the  1st  of  January,  1862,  by  orders  from  the  Wi 
Department,  the  regiment  was  changed  from  an  infantry  to 
heavy  artillery  regiment,  consequently  requiring  an  increase  i

^eral  Banks'  army,  which  had  been  ordered  back  for 
J.  When  about  a  mile  beyond  Fairfax  Court-house,  thej 
met  by  two  pieces  of  the  Twelfth  New  York  Battery,— 
remainder  having  been  captured  by  the  enemy, — rapidlj 
ating,  followed  i^  close  pursuit  by  the  enemy's  cavalry. 
uel  Greene,  of  this  regiment,  ordered  them  to  stop,  and 
id  them  in  position,  under  the  charge  of  one  of  his  captains, 
e  same  time  deploying  his  regiment  through  the  woods  on 
Bides  of  the  road.  They  remained  in  line  all  daj,  and  laj 
leir  arms  during  the  following  night.  Early  on  the  mom- 
f  the  next  day,  one  of  their  pickets  was  shot  by  the  enemj 
subsequently  taken  to  a  house  in  the  rear  for  surgical 
ment.  While  tlie  surgeons  were  engaged  in  their  duty, 
lOuse  in  which  they  were  occupied  was  surrounded  by  the 
ly's  cavalry  and  the  whole  party  taken  prisoners,  including 
capture  of  an  ambulance,  a  hospital  wagon  and  a  four- 
\  regimental  wagon,  with  their  drivers.  After  being  taken 
I  few  miles,  the  surgeons  were  unconditionally  released 
the  remainder  of  the  party  paroled  by  the  enemy.  Lat€ 
je  day,  the  regiment  received  orders  to  return  to  Clouds 
I,  where  they  arrived  late  the  same  evening,  having  marched 
iteen  miles  in  five  and  a  half  hours.  The  day  follow- 
the  regiment  was  ordered  to  garrison  Forts  Albany,  Craig, 
[ighast,  Woodbury,  De  Kalb,  Corcoran,  Haggerty  and 
lett. 

'ter  doing  duty  at  these  forts  for  more  than  a  week, 
egiment  was  relieved  from  duty  at  the  three  last  named. 
^  still  occupy  the  others,  Albany,  Craig,  Tilliughast 
dbury  and  De  Ealb.  About  the  middle  of  September, 
panics  H  and  I  were  ordered  to  Maryland  Heights  for  gar- 
i  duty,  and  about  a  month  later.  Company  C  was  ordered 
in  them. 

Dce  this  regiment  has  been  performing  garrison  duty,  it 
iccomplished  a  great  deal  in  building  fortifications,  mount- 
tnd  dismounting  heavy  guns  and  moving  ordnance  from 
fortification  to  another.  In  addition,  it  has  been  employed 
pairing  roads  and  bridges  on  each  side  of  the  several  forti- 
ions.  Since  they  have  been  in  active  service,  the  regiment 
lost  ninety-five  men,  discharged  on  account  of  physical  dis- 
ty,  sixteen  by  death  and  fifteen  from  desertion.     And

168  ADJUTANT-GENERAL'S  REPORT.  [Ji 

The  report  made  by  Lieutenant-Colonel  Kimball  of  this  re 
ment  is  so  full  and  complete,  and  written  with  so  much  mode 
and  ability,  that  I  copy  it  almost  entire.  It  is  made  up 
November  10th.  Since  that  time,  the  Fifteenth  has  had  anotl 
baptism  of  blood  at  Fredericksburg,  and  Lieutenant-Colo 
Kimball  has  been  promoted  Colonel  of  the  Fifty-Third  R< 
ment,  and  is  now  on  his  way  to  New  Orleans,  under  orders 
report  to  Major-General  Banks,  in  command  of  the  Departm 
of  the  Gulf.  The  Colonel  (Ward)  of  the  Fifteenth  lost  a  lef 
Ball's  Bluff,  and  is  not  yet  sufficiently  recovered  to  join 
regiment.     Here  is  the  narrative  of  Lieut.  Col.  Kimball : — 

The  Fifteenth  Regiment  Massachusetts  Volunteer  LifaK 
was  organized  in  Worcester  County  in  the  monthof  June,  18 
under  the  call  for  three  years  volunteers  to  put  down 
rebellion  then  and  now  existing  in  our  country.  For  a  nucl 
the  regiment  had  tliree  companies  of  State  militia  around  wli 
to  rally.  Seven  companies  of  entirely  new  organization  be 
added,  the  whole  was  mustered  into  the  service  of  the  Uni 
States  June  12, 1861,  as  the  Fifteenth  Regiment  Massachus 
Volunteers,  under  the  command  of  Colonel  Charles  Deveus, 
During  the  process  of  recruiting,  organizing  and  drilling, 
regiment  was  encamped  in  the  city  of  Worcester,  the  camp  be 
known  as  Camp  Scott,  from  which  place  the  regiment  left,  Auj 
8th,  1861,  direct  for  Washington,  full  in  numbers,  thoroug 
and  entirely  armed  and  equipped.  Arriving  in  Washingi 
August  11th,.  quarters  were  obtained  in  public  buildings,  use< 
that  time  for  the  accommodation  of  the  thousands  of  trc 
which  were  crowding  into  the  city.  The  day  following  on 
were  received  to  place  the  regiment  in  camp  on  Meridian  I 
near  the  city,  on  and  about  which  were  many  troops,  tempera 
located,  until  assigned  to  brigades  and  divisions.  At  this  ca 
known  as  Camp  Kalorama,  the  regiment  remained  two  we( 
the  only  duty  performed  being  that  of  guarding  the  camp 
drilling.  On  Sunday,  August  25th,  orders  were  receivec 
march  immediately  to  Poolesville,  Md.,  a  town  north-west  fj 
Washington,  a  distance  some  thirty-five  miles.  The  lini 
march  was  taken  up  at  four  o'clock,  P.  M.,  and  ten  m 
accomplished  before  a  halt  for  the  night  was  ordered.

Here  was  the  first  experience  in  the.  bivouac.  Under  a 
cloudless  sky,  bright  with  its  teu  thousand  lights,  the  men, 
wearied  by  the  unusual  toil,  threw  themselves  upon  the  grass- 
grown  earth,  to  forget  in  sleep  the  then  called  hardships  of  a 
soldier's  life.  The  march  the  next  day  was  eighteen  miles,  the 
bivouac  at  night  a  piece  of  woodland,  near  the  town  of  Daw- 
sonville. 

Poolesville  was  reached  August  27th,  and  the  regiment 
ordered  into  camp  by  General  Charles  P.  Stone,  commanding 
Corps  of  Observation,  on  a  large  common  or  plain  near  the 
town,  which,  on  account  of  its  being  disputed  property  and 
therefore  not  in  use,  served  well  the  double  purpose  of  a  drill 
and  camp  ground.  By  order  of  Colonel  Devens,  this  camp  was 
called  and  known  as  Camp  Foster,  in  honor  of  the  Hon.  D wight 
Foster,  Attorney-General  of  the  State  of  Massachusetts.  The 
Potomac  River  constituting  the  dividing  line  between  the  two 
armies,  a  large  force  was  required  for  picket  duty,  in  order  to 
protect  the  line  extending  from  Seneca  Falls  to  Point  of  Rocks. 
Guarding  that  part  of  this  line  between  Conrad's  Ferry  and  the 
lower  end  of  Harrison's  Island,  a  distance  of  three  miles,  became 
the  duty  of  the  Fifteenth  Regiment.  Five  companies  were  sent 
to  the  river  on  this  duty,  and  were  relieved  at  the  expiration  of 
fourteen  days  by  the  balance  of  the  regiment.  Nothing  of 
importance  occurred  to  break  the  monotony  of  the  established 
camp  and  ptcket  duties,  until  the  battle  of  Ball's  Bluff,  pending 
which  time  the  regiment  rapidly  improved  in  drill  and  disci- 
pline. At  midnight,  October  20th,  orders  were  received  at 
camp  to  march  to  the  river,  and  join  that  portion  of  the  regi- 
ment on  duty  there.  At  two  o'clock,  A.  M.,  August  21st,  five 
companies  crossed  the  river  from  Harrison's  Island,  and  were 
posted  on  Ball's  Bluff.  The  remaining  five  companies  were 
hurried  across  from  the  Maryland  shore  as  soon  after  daybreak 
as  possible,  the  sound  of  musketry  announcing  that  skirmishing 
had  already  commenced.  Of  the  events  of  that  disastrous  day 
we  respectfully  refer  you  to  the  official  report  of  the  battle,  by 
the  commanding  officer.  Suffice  it  here  to  say,  after  an  obsti- 
nate resistance  from  morn  till  night,  against  superior  forces,  our 
forces  were  driven  from  the  Bluff  to  the  river.  The  only  means 
of  transportation  across  the  river  were  two  boats,  one  capable  of 
holding  sixty  men,  the  other  a  small  life-boat,  not  more  than

sixteen.  Into  these  the  troops  crowded.  The  large  boat  sooi 
sunk,  filled  with  men,  many  .of  them  wounded,  and  for  want  o 
proper  means  of  propelling  the  smaller  one,  it  was  but  of  litU 
service  at  that  critical  moment.'  The  only  chance  of  escape  lei 
was  by  swimming,  made  extremely  hazardous  by  the  galling  fir 
which  the  enemy  poured  into  the  river." 

Of  the  625  men  of  the  regiment  who  in  the  morning  crossc 
the  river,  but  313  returned  uninjured  at  night  Two  officer 
were  killed,  four  wounded,  seven  taken  prisoners.  Our  more 
ing  reports,  immediately  after  the  battle,  show  a  loss  among  tli 
enlisted  men  of  26  killed  outright,  66  wounded,  and  22 
missing  in  action.  Nothing  worthy  of  note  occurred  after  th 
battle.  During  the  fall  and  winter  many  recruits  were  receive 
from  the  State,  the  regiment  numbering  in  aggregate  903  o 
February  24th.  Orders  to  march  were  received  Februar 
25th,  and  the  camp  was  broken.  February  26th,  Adamstow 
was  reached,  from  which  place  the  troops  were  transported  b 
rail  to  Harper's  Ferry,  arriving  at  the  latter  place  at  fivi 
P.  M.,  crossing  the  Potomac  by  pontoon  bridge. 

At  Harper's  Ferry  the  regiment  was  quartered  in  buildinj 
till  November  2d,  when  it  was  marched  to  Bolivar  Height 
[)ne  company  remaining  at  Harper's  Ferry  on  provost  guai 
iuty.  Camp  was  struck  March  7th,  and  the  line  of  marc 
taken  up  for  Charlestown,  the  fine  weather  and  good  roa( 
rendering  the  march  an  easy  one.  At  Charlestown  the  regimei 
remained  until  March  10th,  and  then  moved  on  to  Berryville, 
distance  of  thirteen  miles.  At  Berryville  traces  of  the  enen 
were  discovered,  and  their  cavalry  were  driven  from  the  tovi 
by  our  advance.  One  company  of  the  regiment,  deployed  i 
skirmishers,  exchanged  shots  with  the  enemy,  but  no  casualti 
occurred  on  either  side.  Remained  in  camp  at  Berryville  unl 
March  13th,  when  orders  were  received  to  push  on  to  Winche 
tor,  but  when  within  two  miles  of  the  town  were  ordered  bac 
bo  camp  at  Berryville,  as  Winchester  had  been  occupied  by  tl 
forces  under  General  Banks. 

March  14th,  the  regiment  returned  to  Charlestown ;  Marc 
L5th,  marched  to  Bolivar,  and  pitched  camp  on  the  heights  c 
the  ground  formerly  occupied.  At  Bolivar  the  regime] 
remained  one  week  awaiting  orders.  March  22d,  left  Harper 
Ferry  by  rail  for  Washington,  and  arriving  late  at  night,  we;

qaartered  in  barracks  near  the  Capitol.  Went  into  camp  near 
^  citj  the  next  day,  remaining  until  ordered  to  Alexandria, 
OD  the  night  of  March  23d.  Beached  Alexandria  at  five,  A.  M., 
Ifiuth  24th.  March  29th,  the  regiment  embarked  for  Hampton 
OQ  board  steam  transports,  and  sailed  at  three,  P.  M.,  the 
weather  cold  and  stormy. 

April  1st,  disembarked  at  Hampton,  and'went  into  camp  near 
die  town.  April  4th,  the  march  up  the  Peninsula  commenced, 
InltiDg  the  first  night  at  Big  Bethel,  marching  from  thence  to 
an  estate  owned  by  one  Mr.  Bowers,  and  known  during  our 
stay  as  Camp  Misery,  a  name  entirely  in  keeping  with  the 
C(»idition  of  the  camp,  which  by  a  long  rain  storm  was  made 
truly  miserable. 

From  this  point  progress  was  made  necessarily  very  slow,  as 
tiw  enemy  in  force  were  strongly  entrenched  before  York  town,  a 
distance  of  not  more  than  three  miles.  Here  the  labor  of  fell- 
ing timber  and  making  roads  commenced,  in  order  that  the 
artillery  and  trains  might  be  brought  to  the  front.  April  11th, 
the  regiment  was  moved  forward  to  within  one  mile  of  the 
enemy's  works,  to  take  an  active  part  in  the  operations  of 
besiegmg  Yorktown.  This  camp,  known  as  Camp  Advance, 
was  soon  abandoned  for  a  better  position  a  half  a  mile  advanced, 
at  which  place  a  permanent  camp,  known  as  Camp  Winfield 
Scott  was  established. 

From  this  time  until  the  evacuation  by  the  enemy  of  York- 
town,  the  regiment  was  actively  employed,  doing  picket  duty, 
rapporting  artillpry,  throwing  up  earthworks,  &c.  Although 
wider  artillery  fire  many  times,  but  one  casualty  occurred  in 
the  regiment/  tlie  wounding  of  an  officer  by  a  piece  of  shell. 
During  the  siege  of  Yorktown,  the  first  company  of  Andrew 
Sharpshooters,  Captain  John  Saunders,  became  attached  to 
the  regiment.  With  their  telescopic  rifles  this  company  was 
highly  efiective  in  silencing  the  enemy's  batteries,  at  times 
^ving  them  from  their  guns.  Their  loss  during  the  siege  was 
three  men  wounded. 

Whfle  before  Yorktown,  Colonel  Devens  left  the  Fifteenth  to 
take  command  of  a  brigade,  having  been  appointed  a  brigadier- 
gc&eral.  The  command  of  tlie  regiment  was  immediately 
*«umed  by  Lieutenant-Colonel  Kimball.

172  ADJUTANT-GENERAL'S  REPORT.  [Jan 

May  4tli,  the  enemy  evacuated  their  entire  line  of  works 
which  were  at  once  occupied  by  our  forces,  the  Fifteenth  beinj 
one  of  the  first  regiments  to  plant  their  standard  within  th( 
fortifications.  Tlie  regiment  remained  at  Torktown  unti 
transports  were  in  readiness  to  convey  the  troops  to  Wes 
Point.  May  6th,  embarked  for  West  Point,  arriving  early  th 
next  morning,  in  tim'e  to  reinforce  General  Franklin,  who  wa 
engaged  with  the  enemy.  Hastily  landed,  the  regiment  wa 
immediately  formed  in  line  of  battle  to  support  the  force 
already  engaged  ;  wore  not  called  into  action,  and  suffered  n< 
loss.  May  9th,  marched  to  Eltham,  on  the  Pamunkey  River, i 
distance  from  West  Point  of  two  and  a  half  miles,  encampioj 
on  a  large  plantation  known  as  Camp  near  Eltham. 

Here  the  troops  remained  until  preparations  were  complete* 
for  the  onward  march  towards  Richmond.  Camp  was  strucl 
May  15th,  and  a  tedious  march  was  made  of  a  few  miles  to 
place  called  Austin's  Church,  where,  encamped  in  the  woodi 
the  regiment  remained  until  fair  weather  rendered  the  roads  ii 
a  better  condition  for  moving  the  army.  Left  Austin's  Ghurci 
May  18th,  and  proceeded  some  three  miles  towards  the  famou 
Chickahominy  River,  encamping  in  a  large  field  of  graii 
known  as  Camp  near  Mayo's  House.  March  was  resumei 
May  21st,  and  a  place  known  as  Savage's  House,  near  Bottom' 
Bridge,  was  reached.  The  heat  at  this  time  was  intense,  an 
for  want  of  proper  rest  many  of  the  men  fell  out  from  th 
ranks  in  an  exhausted  condition  ;  some  were  affected  wit 
sunstroke,  but  none  died  in  consequence.  A  march  of  £▼ 
miles  the  following  day,  and  the  command  reached  the  Tyle 
estate,  near  the  banks  of  the  Chickahominy. 

Early  in  the  afternoon  of  May  81st,  rapid  and  heavy  fiiin 
was  heard,  distinctly  heard,  from  across  the  river.  The  troop 
under  General  Sumner,  including  the  Fifteenth  Regimeni 
were  immediately  ordered  under  arms,  and  marched  to  th 
assistance  of  General  Casey.  Crossing  the  river  on  a  bridg 
of  logs,  called  Sumner's  Grapevine  Bridge,  the  colum 
advanced  about  two  miles,  and  formed  near  Fair  Oaks  Statioi 
in  anticipation  of  an  attack.  The  regiment  had  barely,  time  t 
load  before  the  battle,  which  raged  fiercely  until  after  dart 
commenced.  The  first  position  taken  by  the  Fifteentii  Reg 
ment  was  in  support  of  a  battery  of  light  artillery,  conmiande*

bjr Lieutenant  Kirby  of  the  regular  service,  wliich  was  playing 
vith  great  eSbct  apon  the  concealed  enemy.  This  position  was 
trjing  to  the  noen,  in  the  extreme ;  as  but  a  small  ])ortion 
foe  engaged,  the  balance  could  only  stand  firmly  before  the 
fiom  of  ballets,  to  resist  the  charge,  should  one  be  attempted. 
Three  times  did  the  foe,  flushed  with  the  victory  of  the  morn- 
ing, aud  confident  of  success,  rush  upon  the  battery  almost  to 
tke  cannon's  mouth,  but  each  time  were  driven  back  in 
feorder,  leaving  many  brave  men  within  a  few  yards  of  our 
tayooets.  Before  they  could  rally  from  this  terrible  fire  of 
dfiister  and  musketry,  a  charge  upou  them  was  ordered. 
With  vild  shouts  and  cheers,  the  unwavering  line  advanced 
into  the  almost  impenetrable  thicket,  but  the  enemy  had 
8ed;  tbeir  dead  and  wounded  alone  were  left,  the  evidences  of 
I  glorious  victory.  That  night  the  troops  rested  upon  their  arms 
on  the  battle-field,  the  borrol«  of  which  were  made  doubly 
rerolting  by  the  unceasing  groans  of  the  wounded. 

In  the  battle  of  Fair  Oaks,  the  regiment  sustained  a  loss  of 
five  killed,  seventeen  wounded.  The  battle-field  became  the 
pennanent  eamp  at  Fair  Oaks.  A  breastwork  of  logs  was 
thnnm  up,  beliind  which  the  regiment  stood  in  line  of  battle 
Ottaj  weary  hours,  both  day  and  night,  during  the  entire 
OKAth  of  June,  in  anticipation  of  an  attack.  Heavy  details 
veremade  for  fatigue  duty,  slashing  timber,  building  fortifica- 
^^  ic.  The  detail  for  picket  was  also  large,  and  the  duty 
^Qous,  skirmishes  beiug  of  frequent  occurrence.  The  men 
^^fiered  much  from  sickness  incidental  to  the  clunate,  some 
^^^  occurred,  and  many  were  sent  back  to  general  hospitals. 

Jone  27th,  an  attack  was  made  upon  our  lines,  and  the 
'^pnent  was  ordered  from  one  position  to  another,  in  support 
of  &e  troops  engaged.  Although  not  brought  ifito  action,  the 
^^pmrat  was  under  fire,  the  result  of  which  was  the  wounding 
of  one  man  slightly.  June  28th,  the  attack  was  resumed  with 
yigor,  but  DO  casualty  occurred  to  the  regiment,  notwithstand-

posted  on  picket  till  nine  o'clock,  P.  M.,  when  the  troops  we 
quietly  withdrawn  and  the  retreat  continued  to  White  O 
Swamp,  or  Glen  Dale.  On  the  march  from  Savage  Station, 
few  men  fell  out  from  utter  exhaustion,  and  were  captured 
the  enemy,  but  were  soon  paroled  and  exchanged.  In  tlie  re 
again  at  Glen  Dale,  the  regiment  was  engaged  with  t 
enemy  on  the  evening  of  June  30th,  the  result  of  which  fig 
was  a  success,  enabling  the  army  trains  to  reach  a  place 
comparative  safety. 

At  two  o'clock,  A.  M.,  July  1st,  tlie  pickets  were  withdraw 
from  the  field,  and  the  retreat  continued  to  Malvern  Hill. 

In  the  battle  of  July  1st,  the  regiment  was  not  active 
engaged,  that  part  of  the  line  to  which  it  was  assigned  c 
being  attacked,  but  was  at  times  under  severe  artillery  fii 
Harrison's  Landing,  the  destination  of  the  army,  was  reach 
on  the  morning  of  July  2d,  where,  under  cover  of  the  gv 
boats,  tlie  troops  found  a  place  of  safety.  In  the  various  b; 
ties  occurring  on  the  retreat  from  Fair  Oaks  to  Harrisoi 
Landing,  the  regiment  lost  eleven  wounded  and  twenty-s 
missing.  On  tlie  arrival  at  Harrison*s  Landing,  the  soldic 
were  thoroughly  worn  out  by  the  unceasing  fighting  and  marc 
ing  of  the  week.  A  suitable  place  was  selected,  and  a  perir 
nent  camp  established,  known  as  Camp  near  Harrison's  Lan 
ing.  During  the  month  of  July  but  little  was  required  of  tl 
regiment,  the  intense  heat  of  the  weather  rendering  consta 
drilling  highly  injurious.  A  reconnoissance  in  force  to  M\ 
vern  Hill  was  made,  the  troops  leaving  camp  on  the  evening 
August  4th,  arriving  at  their  destination  early  the  followii 
morning.  The  regiment  was  not  engaged  in  Mie  skirmish  of  tl 
following  morning,  and  returned  to  Harrison's  Landing  witho 
the  loss  of  a  man. 

August  15th,  the  camp  was  struck  and  the  army  moved  f 
Newport  News,  arriving  at  the  latter  place  August  22d.  Tl 
regiment  embarked  on  board  the  steam  transport  Mississipp

fin*  Alexaodria.  Arrived  August  28tli,  and  left  the  following 
(hj  for  Chain  Bridge.  Here  the  long  promised  rest  was 
expected,  but  the  distant  booming  of  cannon  told  that  a  battle 
was  r&ging,  and  an  order,  requiring  the  division  to  which  the 
Meeuth  was  attached  to  march  immediately  to  Centreville, 
VIS  received  at  sunset,  August  29th.  A  forced  march,  of  almost 
the  entire  night  and  a  portion  of  the  next  day,  brouglit  the 
dirision  to  Centreville,  in  time  to  cover  the  retrogade  move- 
meDtof  the  army  towards  Washington. 

A  reeonnoissance  in  force  was  made  September  1st,  by  the 
dimoD,  but  no  enemy  found.  The  .same  day  the  army  was 
vithdnwn  from  Centreville,  and  at  midnight  the  regiment, 
eomposiog  a  part  of  the  rear  guard,  moved,  reachuig  Fairfax 
Court-house  at  sunrise,  September  1st.  The  same  night  tlie 
oiemj  atacked  the  rear  guard,  near  Vienna,  but  were  repulsed, 
and  the  retreat  to  Arlington  Heights  successfully  covered. 
The  Fifteenth  was  not  under  musketry  fire  in  the  skirmish  of 
Sqitember  1st,  but  lost  several  men  by  being  taken  prisoners. 
September  2d,  the  Potomac  was  again  crossed  and  the  camp 
established  at  Tenallytown.  September  5th,  marched  to  Rock- 
^.  September  6th,  Camp  Defiance  was  established,  a  short 
detanoe  beyond  Bcv^kville.  Left  Camp  Defiance  September 
Stbjin  advance  of  the  column,  meeting  with  no  obstruction 
Mtil  reaching  Hyattstown,  where  a  body  of  the  enemy's 
eaviliy  was  discovered.  A  few  well  directed  shots  soon  dis- 
posed the  party,  which  proved  to  be  merely  scouts,  and  the 
otrch  was  continued  to  Urbana. 

The  following  day  the  city  of  Frederick  was  entered,  already 
occupied  by  our  forces.  Left  Frederick  September  14th ,  arriving 
tt  South  Ifountain  Pass  on  the  uight  of  the  battle,  relieving  a 
l^de  at  nme  o'clock  in  the  evening,  who  were  resting  where 
thej  had  ceased  firing  at  the  enemy  upon  the  approach  of  night. 
The  next  morning's  sun  revealed  that  the  worsted  enemy  had 
'^d  during  the  night,  and  pursuit  was  immediately  com- 
nenced.  Late  at  night,  September  15th,  the  regiment  reached 
^ysville,  and  bivouacked  for  the  night.  September  16th, 
P'^P&rations  for  the  impending  battle  were  made,  and  the  regi- 
*»twa8  ordered  to  be  in  readiness  the  next  day.  On  the

hj  kind  hands  in  the  humble  graves  hastily  dug  and  prepared 
for  their  reception.  September  22dy  nothing  loth  to  leave  the 
scene  of  carnage,  the  regiment  marched  from  Sharpsburg  to 
Harper's  Ferrj,  forded  the  Potomac,  and  occupied  the  same 
ground  as  a  camp  left  more  than  six  months  before.  No  move- 
ment of  an  J  importance  occurred  during  the  month  of  October. 
Occasional  picket  duty  and  drills  were  all  that  were  required  of 
the  troops.  October  30th,  camp  was  again  broken,  and  the 
adTance  into  Virginia  commenced.  The  line  of  march  lay  along 
the  east  side  of  the  Blue  Ridge,  occupying  from  day  to  day  the 
Passes  or  Gaps  through  which  demonstrations  on  the  part  of  the 
enemy  might  be  expected.  October  SIst,  Gregory's  Gap  was 
occupied.  November  Ist,  the  advance  reached  Snicker's  Gap. 
No  encDQy  appeared.  November  2d,  encountered  the  cavalry  of 
the  enemy  near  Ashby's  Gap.  The  regiment  being  at  the  head 
of  the  column,  was  ordered  to  skirmish  through  a  piece  of 
voodland,  and  to  occupy  a  hill  commanding  the  mountain  road. 
No  redstance  however  was  offered  at  our  approach,  and  the  hill 
known  as  Fernue  was  taken  without  firing  a  shot.  November 
M,  the  town  of  Paris  and  Ashby's  Gap  were  qccupied.  Novem- 
ber 5th,  left  Paris  for  Warrenton,  marching  by  day,  bivouacking 
by  night  by  the  road-side.  November  9th,  entered  Warrenton, 
and  encamped,  where,  November  10th,  the  regiment  still 
remains  under  marching  orders. 

In  this  report,  hurriedly  written,  many  interesting  incidents 
connected  with  the  history  of  the  regiment  have  been  una- 
voidably omitted.  An  exact  statement  of  the  gains  and  losses 
of  the  regiment  cannot  be  given,  as  at  times  all  regimental 
books,  papers  and  accounts  have  been  separated  from  the  regi- 
ment for  weeks  together.  Tne  loss  in  battle,  given  herein,  may 
te  considered  as  accurate  in  aggregate,  although  many  of  the 
vonnded  and  missing  in  action  have  since  died,  or  were  ascer- 
tadned  to  be  dead. 

Three  hundred  and  ninety-one  recruits  have  been  received 
from  the  Sute. 

One  hundred  and  forty-six  enlisted  men  have  been  discharged 
for  disabilitj — ^thirty  discharged  by  order.  Forty-two  have. died 
of  disease ;  forty-eight  have  deserted.

■poQ  Lieotenanl-Coloiiel  Kimball.  I  tboold  hftve  sUted  that  a  companj  of 
SbarpebooCen  from  yoar  State,  commanded  by  the  late  Captain  John  Saunders, 
kd  been  attached  to  the  FiHeenth.  The  raiment  at  that  time  was  considered 
ODe  of  the  best  in  the  terrice  for  discipline  and  military  instruction,  and  on 
picket  dotj ;  and,  in  some  small  skirmi^es  before  the  enemy's  works  at  York- 
ton,  I  fiMud  it  eqoal  also  to  any  regiment  for  courage.  The  brigade  moved 
bom  this  place  to  West  Point  The  FiAeenth^  with  my  regiment,  were 
proeat  in  time  for  the  action  there,  and  though  not  actually  engaged,  we  were 
08  the  field  ai  a  ^  reserve,"  and  onder  fire.  From  here  we  marched  with  the 
my  to  the  Chirkahominy,  and  arrived  on  the  battle-field  of  Fair  Oaks  with 
other  troops  of  the  division  to  which  we  belonged,  in  time  to  check  the  enemy, 
vk  vere  jost  about  turning  the  right  flank  of  what  remained  of  General 
Ckj's  troops,  and  thereby  we  saved  the  day.  In  this  fight  I  did  not  see  the 
r^ath,  my  regiment  being  engaged  fkr  to  their  right,  but  all  who  did  see  it 
fake  well  of  it  After  our  right  and  rear  had  been  turned  at  Fair  Oaks, 
k  became  necessary  to  change  our  position,  and  £eJ1  back  by  the  \efi  to  the 
Jaaet  Biver.  As  we  were  then  the  right  of  the  line,  we  were  the  last  to  leave, 
tad  daring  the  retreat  had  more  than  oar  share  of  the  fighting.  On  the 
undag  of  the  day  it  was  decided  to  leave.  General  Gorman,  commander  of 
fisr  brigade,  being  too  unwell  to  take  the  field,  left  with  the  wa^on  train. 
IW  command  of  the  brigade  then  devolved  upon  me.  The  following  morning 
at  dajbreak  my  artillery  was  moved — the  rest  of  the  brigade  followed. 

We  had  not  gone  over  two  miles  when  we  found  the  enemy  cloeo  upon  us. 
.We  therefore  had  to  halt,  and  with  other  troops  under  General  Sumner's 
ttOBand,  we  checked  the  rebels  and  drove  them  back.  This  was  at  the  battle 
of  Orchard  Station,  (or  Peach  Orchard.)  It  was,  however,  found  that  the 
ttcfflj  in  force  were  coming  on  our  left  and  rear.  We  had,  therefore,  to  fall 
^  rapidly  to  Savage  Station,  about  two  miles,  and  by  the  time  we  got  our 
^^tsxenei  and  troops  in  position,  (these  troops  belonged  to  Sumner's  corps, 
of  vhioh  we  formed  a  part,)  the  enemy  opened  on  us  with  great  vijior.  This 
bittie  occapied  all  the  afternoon  and  until  after  dark.  About  nine,  P.  M.,  we 
ittetred  orders  to  continue  our  march  back,  our  heavy  artillery  and  wagons 
bring  by  this  time  got  out  of  the  enemy's  reach.  Fatigued  as  we  were  we 
narched  all  that  night,  and  by  daylight  reached  the  other  side  of  the  White 
Oak  Swamp.  Here  we  again  rested  to  allow  the  wagon  train  and  artillery 
to  fet  oat  of  the  way.  The  enemy  were  soon  upon  us  again,  and  we  were  in 
tie  battle  of  White  Oak  Swamp.  While  this  fight  was  going  on,  some  corps 
of  oar  army  in  the  rear  and  left  were  driven  back  by  the  enemy,  and  we  had 
to  come  back  about  a  mile  to  their  relief  at  "  double-quick,**  and  took  part  in 
the  battle  of  Nelson's  Farm.  Here  we  again  succeeded  in  checking  the  enemy, 
'■'I  keeping  him  in  check,  till  night  would  allow  us  to  withdraw  and  take  up 
<iBr  Tme  of  march.  The  next  nK>rning  at  daylight  found  us  at  Malvern  Hill, 
^  worn  down  with  fatigue.  We  rested  but  a  few  hours,  when  were  again 
»«^npon  to  fight  the  battle  of  Malvern  Hill,  and  before  daybreak  next  morn- 
iBgagaiQ  we  marched  to  Harrison's  Landing.  During  all  this  march,  and  in  these 
■^iti,  as  I  commanded  the  brigade,  (General  Gorman  being  absent  sick,)  and 
Be  Fifieeoth  consequently  under  my  iomiediate  command,  I  can  testify  to  their

Nortkfn  people  reflect  on  the  matter  more  MriooBlj  than  they  do.  This  it 
BO  cliild*!  pUj  we  are  at.  It  requires  erery  man,  though  he  may  not  be  in 
tite  tnnj,  to  do  all  he  can  to  assist  it.  Why  cannot  laws  be  passed  compelling 
&e  police  sad  municipal  authorities  to  inquire  into  and  see  what  persons  in 
tkeir  section  ofcoontry  and  in  the  army  are  absent  from  it  ?  We  have  a  great 
■lOT  i^eers  of  the  regular  army  on  the  retired  list — many  wounded  offioeni 
rfdie  Tolonteer  senrice — who  might  be  put  on  duty  as  inspectors,  (their

Amk  it  would  be  well  to  have  the  matter  looked  into. 

Very  respectfully,  your  obedient  servant, 

Alfred  Sullt,  Brigadier-General. 

WASHmoTOK,  D.  C,  December  5, 1862. 
To  Hm  Excellency  Hon.  John  A.  Andrew,  Governor  of  the  Commonweaiih 
of  Mcusachusetts  : — 

Goreraor, — In  compliance  with  your  Circular  of  the  7th  ultimo,  I  have 
^  hoQor  to  snbmit  a  brief  report  of  the  operations  and  actions  of  such 
llaaaehosetts  regiments  as  have  been  under  my  command. 

On  die  25th  of  February,  1862,  I  assumed  command  of  the  division  previ- 
omlj  coounanded  by  Brigadiei^General  Stone,  and  at  that  time  doing 
aportaot  guard  duty  on  the  Upper  Potomac.  The  Fifteenth,  Nineteenth  and 
Twentieth  Massachusetts  Regiments  formed  a  part  of  the  division,  and  had  for 
dte  four  previous  months  performed  active  and  arduous  duty  in  guarding  the 
nvv.  The  Fifteenth  and  Twentieth  were  engaged  in  the  battle  of  Ball's 
K^«  and  are  reported  to  have  behaved  with  great  gallantry.  On  the  27th 
rf  Febroary  the  division  was  ordered  to  Harper's  Ferry,  to  operate  with  Gen- 
ial Banks  in  driving  the  enemy  from  the  Shenandoah  Valley.  This  having 
^>^^  SQceesifhlly  accomplished,  without  a  general  engagement,  the  division 
*»  ordered  to  Washington,  to  form  part  of  the  army  of  the  Potomac,  then 
««fawking  kir  the  Peninsula. 

We  landed  at  Hampton,  Ya.,  March  80th,  1862,  and  on  the  5th  of 
Vil  Iband  the  enemy  strongly  intrenched  around  Yorktown.  The  siege 
'^'^  thirty  days,  and  although  no  brilliant  action  was  fought,  skirmishing  and 
picket  war&re  were  carried  on  the  whole  time.  In  one  of  these  skirmishes 
tbe  gallant  Captain  Bartlett,  of  the  Twentieth  Massachusetts,  lost  his  leg.

ColoDel  Kimball,  of  the  Fifteentb,  and  Lteoten ant-Colonel  Palfrey,  of  tbe 
TveodeCh.  Great  credit  is  dae  to  these  officer*  for  the  splendid  condition  in 
viiich  these  regiments  took  the  field.  The  Fifteenth  and  Nineteenth  are,  in 
BT  opinion,  fully  eqaal  to  any  two  in  the  service.  The  Twentieth  was  badly 
cat  up  at  Ball's  Blnff*.  Many  officers  were  wounded  and  taken  prisoners,  and 
tbe  regiment  thereby  deprived  of  their  services. 

1  hare,  on  two  occasions,  strongly  recommended  the  appointment  of  Colonel 
Hinks  as  Brigadier-GeneraL  Re  disciplined  and  brought  into  the  field  one  of 
tite  finet  regiments,  and  has  been  twice  wounded  while  gallantly  leading  it  in 
btttle.  I  again  urge  the  appointment,  and  respectfully  ask  your  Excellency's 
fitroraWc  endorsement. 

I  tmst  year  Excellency  will  not  think  me  presumptuous  in  ofiTering  a 
iBSseftion  in  regard  to  promotions  and  appointments.  The  system,  which 
KCffls  to  have  been  adopted  and  carried  out  to  a  limited  extent,  of  promoting 
ofieers  who,  by  their  gallantry  and  good  conduct,  have  merited  it,  is  an 
aceBcnt  one.  and  I  would  not  confine  these  promotions  to  their  own  regi- 
ineiits.  I  think  it  adds  to  an  officer's  usefulness  to  place  him  in  a  regiment  in 
vtuefa  be  has  no  acquaintances ;  and  this  holds  good  to  a  greater  degree  in 
pmsotions  from  the  ranks. 

I  vonld  also  call  your  attention  to  the  importance  of  filling  up  the  old 
w^anents.  Recruits,  sent  to  these,  learn  their  duties  and  become  acquainted 
vith  tbe  details  of  camp  life  much  sooner,  whilst  they  impart  life  and  vigor  to 
tbe  old  soldiers. 

I  have  the  honor  to  be,  very  respectfully, 

Your  Excellency's  obedient  servant, 

JoHK  Sedowick,  Major-General  Volunteers,

NEAR  Falmouth,  Va.,  Dec.  20,  1862.      J 
Hb  Excellency  JoHir  A.  Andrew,  Governor  of  the  Commonwealth  of  Mass. : 

Sir,— Your  letter  of  Nov.  7th,  enclosing  a  Circular  issued  by  your  order  of 
to  of  Nov.  5th,  was  received  by  me  early  this  month,  but  I  trust  the  stirring 
weats  which  have  occurred  in  this  army  will  be  my  excuse  with  your  Excel- 
lency for  any  seeming  delay  in  my  reply. 

Tbe  Fifteenth  Masvachusetts  Regiment  was  commanded  by  me  as  Colonel 
■  the  battle  of  Ball's  Bluff  in  October,  1861,  in  several  skirmishes  in  the 
Tallej  of  Virginia  during  the  month  of  March,  1862,  and  during  most  of  the 
■fge  of  Yorktown,  I  having  been  transferred  from  it  just  before  the  close  of 
operations  there.  Since  that  time  it  has  participated  in  all  the  important 
bstdes  of  Virginia  and  Maryland,  and  on  all  occasions  it  has  behaved  with 
^  most  distinguished  gallantry  and  determination.  Called  upon  both  at 
Bdl^s  Bluff  and  at  Antietam,  where  it  was  commanded  by  Lieutenant-Colonel 
(vow  Colonel)  Kimball,  to  endure  the  terrific  loss  of  more  than  one-half  of 
*  Bicn  engaged,  it  exhibited  a  courage  and  fidelity  more  than  worthy  of  vet- 
«»  troope,  for  it  was  worthy  of  tbe  holy  cause  which  had  drawn  its  men 
frM»  their  peacefiil  homes.

The  regiment  has  suffered  much  since  entering  upon  active

that  of  August  16th,  the  date  of  leaving  Massachusetts,  shows : 

August  16th,  1861,  total  present — 34  commissioned  officers  ;

He  loss  of  a  valued  Colonel  and  the  many  changes  among 
the  commissioned  officers,  coupled  with  the  hard  work  and 
Wd  fighting  the  men  have  been  called  upon  to  do,  have 
wrought  a  great  change  in  the  splendidly  equipped  regiment 
which  started  from  Boston. 

The  regiment  is  at  present  attached  to  Carr's  Brigade, 
Sckles's  Division,  and  is  stationed  as  part  of  a  provisional 
hrigade,  under  command  of  Colonel  Blaisdell,  of  the  Massa- 
Ausetts  Eleventh. 

The  Sixteenth  was  engaged  as  skirmishers  at  the  battle  of 
ft^dericksburg,  Virginia,  December  14th,  in  which  it  lost  2 
Uled,  14  wounded,  and  1  missing.  The  regiment  is  now  at 
Wmouth,  Va.,  army  of  the  Potomac.

which  I  have  been  acquainted  during  the  com 
state,  that  of  the  thirty-two  regiments  and  batt

tie  swamp  ishiKb  in  the  Saraniiah  Rirer,  attendant  with  circnmstances  of 
frost,  eiposiire,  and  labor,  which  nothing  but  the  most  indomitable  and  patriotic 
leil  of  the  troops  coold  hare  overcome.  The  Twenty-Eighth  ■Massachusetts 
B^iment  always  responded  with  cheerful  alacrity  to  any  call  that  was  made 
Bpooit    It  has  since  had  other  opportunities  of  distinguishing  itself. 

The  Twenty-Ninth  Regiment  formed  a  portion  of  my  command  here,  from 
the  time  of  the  occupation  of  Norfolk,  until  it  was  also  sent  to  reinforce  the 
Amy  of  the  Potomac.  There  its  Colonel  (Pierce)  lost  an  arm  while  leading 
b  regiment  to  rictory.  The  Twenty-Eighth  and  Twenty-Ninth  were  well 
sapped,  and  of  excellent  materiaL 

I  ought  abo  to  speak  of  the  regiment  under  my  command,  now  known  as 
the  Xinety-Xinth  New  York,  which  was  largely  recruited  and  officered  prin- 
cipally from  Massachusetts,  as  a  portion  of  what  was  called  the  Naval  Brigade, 
hi  eommander.  Colonel  Wardrop,  and  Major  (Bates)  are  both  from  Boston, 
They  are  brave  and  gallant  officers,  and  if  there  are  better  fighting  men  in 
&  irmy  than  ccmpose  this  reginoent,  I  have  yet  to  see  them. 

Other  regiments  from  Massachusetts  have  come  under  my  notice,  but  not 
lader  my  immediate  command.  Among  them  \<as  the  First  Massachusetts 
Ctnhy,  at  Port  Royal — a  most  superior  regiment  in  e<|uipment,  drill,  and 
^Kipline. 

It  may  not  be  out  of  place  for  me  to  add  my  testimony  to  the  deep  and 
eoutast  interest  exhibited  by  the  authorities  of  Massachusetts  toward  the 
troops  from  diat  State.  Truly  yours, 

Egbert  L.  Vielr,  Brigadier-General.

Baltimore,  Md.,  Nov.  25, 1862.     \ 
To  His  Excellency  John  A.  Akdrew,  Governor  of  Massachusetts : — 

Sir,— I  have  the  honor  to  acknowledge  the  receipt  of  your  Excellency's 
letter  of  the  7th  instant,  requesting  an  expression  of  my  opinion  of  the  Mas- 
Mehosetts  troops  which  have  served  under  me,  since  the  commencement  of  the 
present  war. 

In  reply,  it  affords  me  sincere  pleasure  to  state,  that  the  Massachusetts 
troops  which  served  under  me  in  the  Department  of  Virginia,  viz. :  the 
Sxleeath  Infantxy,  Colonel  Wyman,  the  Twenty-Ninth  Infantry,  Colonel 
Fierce,  and  Captains  Davis  and  Nims's  Batteries  of  Light  Artillery,  as  also  the 
Thirty-Eighth  In&ntry,  Colonel  Ingraham,  which  served  in  my  present 
coomand,  are  all  entitled  to  the  highest  praise  for  the  good  conduct,  and  the 
vilhoCDesB  and  ability  in  the  performance  of  every  doty,  which  characterixed 
officen  and  soldiers,  I  might  say  almost  without  exception. 

Donng  my  long  military  experience,  I  have  commanded  no  soldiers  more 
^ve  or  more  obedient  than  the  gallant  soldiers  of  Massachusetts ;  and  I  trust 
te  the  honorable  name  which  your  glorious  State  has  gained  for  the  part  she 
^  taken  in  oar  gigantic  struggle  for  national  independence,  may  stand  as  an 
rumple  of  true,  unselfish  patriotism  in  the  grateful  memories  of  the  coming 
generations. 

With  my  heart's  best  wishes  for  the  success  of  onr  holy  cause,  I  am  Massa- 
chaietts'  true  friend,  and  Yoor  Excellency's  most  obedient  servant, 

John  £.  Wool,  Major-General.

The  regiment  left  the  State  in  the  command  of  Lieutenant- 
Colonel  Fellows,  a  gentleman  who  had  been  a  prominent  and 
Qieritorioas  officer  in  our  Massachusetts  Militia.  At  the  time 
of  his  appointment  as  Lieutenant-Colonel  of  the  Seventeenth 
he  vas  attached  to  the  staff  of  Brigadier-General  Andrews, 
Second  Dirision  Massachusetts  Volunteer  Militia.  Shortly 
after  the  regiment  left  the  State,  Captain  Amory,  U.  S.  A.,  was 
appointed  Colonel,  and  has  remained  its  Colonel  ever  since, 
althoagh  most  of  the  time  acting  as  Brigadier-General,  leaving 
4e  regiment  under  command  of  Lieutenant-Colonel  Fellows. 

In  North  Carolina,  under  General  Foster,  the  regiment  has 
^itshare  of  skirmishing  and  picket  duty,  and  has  had  several 
encounters  with. the  enemy,  but  until  the  recent  advance  of 
General  Foster's  command  upon  Goldsborougli,  N.  C,  it  has 
i*otbeen  in  any  prominent  battle.  The  following  letter  which 
I  received  from  Lieutenant-Colonel  Fellows,  dated  Newbern, 
^- C.,  December  22d,  shows  how  well  the  Seventeenth  behaved 
wi  the  occasion  of  which  he  speaks :

Captain  Fuller.  Tliey  were  soon  fired  upon,  but  they  drove 
Hie  enemy  before  them.  The  main  object  of  the  expedition 
iras  to  bam  a  railroad  bridge,  destroy  the  track  and  cut  off 
oommunication.  As  the  railroad  bridge  was  then  in  sight,  and 
oocapied  by  a  large  rebel  force,  I  turned  to  the  left,  through  a 
Tood  which  was  occupied  by  a  camp  of  rebels.  We  pushed 
(mmri  with  skirmishers  deployed,  and  gained  the  railroad, 
driring  the  enemy  before  us.  I  was  then  ordered  to  approach 
the  bridge,  leaving  the  skirmishers  under  Captain  Fuller  to 
▼atch  the  enemy ;  but  on  approaching  the  bridge,  we  were  opened 
npoo  by  a  heavy  fire  of  artillery  in  front  and  musketry  from  the 
Toods  on  both  sides.  We  continued  to  advance,  and  arrived 
withm  ten  feet  of  the  bridge,  using  the  banks  of  the  road  as  a 
temporary  shelter.  The  shells  from  our  own  artillery  falling 
immediately  in  front  of  us,  and  not  being  willing  to  lose  my  men 
bj  our  own  fire,  I  sent  to  the  officer  in  command  of  the  artillery, 
to  dange  his  direction,  which  had  no  effect.  I  then  went 
mjself  and  represented  that  he  was  doing  us  more  harm  than  the 
CQcmy ;  this  had  the  desired  effect.  Upon  my  return,  Morrison's 
battery  came  up  and  took  position  near  our  Bag,  on  the  right  • 
flank.  I  pointed  out  to  the  Captain  the  bridge  and  the  depot 
beyond,  where  a  train  had  just  arrived  with  reinforcements  for 
the  enemy.  Giving  his  orders  with  coolness  and  judgment,  he 
!  planted  a  shell  directly  among  them  and  kept  up  a  steady  fire 
I  in  that  direction.  Meanwhile,  the  shot  and  shell  from  the 
enemy's  artillery  came  thick  and  fast  among  us,  yet  not  a  man 
quailed,  and  my  orders  were  obeyed  with  much  coolness,  as 
they  are  upon  a  battalion  drill.  I  sheltered  the  men  in  a  hol- 
low, directly  in  rear  of  the  artillery,  and  was  then  notified  that 
i  two  men  from  each  of  the  two  regiments  were  to  be  sent  to  fire 
&e  bridge.  I  called  for  volunteers,  and  *  Barney  Mann,'  our 
'  1^  Adjutant,  offered  to  find  them.  A,  short  time  after,  I  saw 
I  him  wounded,  and  then  learned  that  he  had  gone  himself,  with 
*Dother  man,  for  the  purpose;  the  two  from  the  Ninth  New 
Jersey  were  also  there,  and  the  bridge  was  fired.  I  was  thon » 
flotified  that  the  object  of  the  expedition  was  accomplished, 
and  General  Poster  gave  the  credit  of  it  to  the  two  regiments. 
The  artillery  then  withdrew.  I  marched  my  men  off,  but  was 
called  upon  to  support  another  battery,  which  still  kept  up  its 
fire.    When  that  withdrew,  I  formed  upon  the  right  of  the

On  the  10th  of  March,  1862,  the  regiment  left  Hall's  Hill 
vith  nine  hundred  and  forty  men,  and  marched  to  Fairfax ; 
16th,  left  Fair&x  and  marched  to  Alexandria ;  2l8t,  embarked 
m  board  transport ;  23d,  disembarked  at  Old  Point  Com- 
ibrt,  and  marched  to  Hampton  ;  25tb,  marched  to  Newmarket 
Bridge  and  encamped. 

Afril  1th,  marched  to  Hunter's  Creek  ;  5th,  arrived  at  two 
o'dock,  P.  M.,  in  front  of  the  defences  of  Torktown.  The 
legiment  was  engaged  in  the  battle,  acting  as  skirmishers,  and 
m  support  of  batteries  engaged.  No  casualties  occurred.  From 
the  llUi  of  April  to  the  5th  of  May,  a  period  of  twenty-four  days, 
faring  the  dege  of  York  town,  the  regiment  furnished  a  detail 
eaefa  day  either  for  working  in  the  trenches  or  outpost  duty, 
Tarjing  from  seventy  to  six  hundred  and  sixty-six  men. 
Almost  every  day  during  the  siege,  the  regiment,  or  a  portion 
tf  it,  was  under  fire  of  the  enemy's  batteries. 

May  5th,  the  regiment  left  Camp  Winfield  Scott,  and 
Barehed  to  Yorktown ;  7th,  embarked  on  board  transport ; 
8tb,  disembarked  at  West  Point ;  ISth,  marched  to  Cumber- 
land; 15th,  marched  to  White  House  ;  19th,  marched  to  Tun- 
stall's  Station ;  21st  and  22d,  marched  to  Eidd's  Mills.  At 
flus  time  the  Government  supplied  the  regiment  with  the 
Springfield  rifled  muskets  as  a  substitute  for  the  smooth-bore, 
wfaieh  up  to  this  time  had  been  in  use  by  the  regiment.  May 
26tli,  marched  to  Gaines'  Mills.  Immediately  on  reaching  Gaines' 
Knis,  upon  the  Chickahomiuy,  in  the  evening  of  the  same  day, 
darifig  a  furious  storm,  eight  companies  of  the  regiment  were 
ordered  upon  picket  duty.  These  companies  marched  to  their 
posts,  and  subsequently,  in  the  night,  orders  came  to  relieve 
th^  as  the  division  under  command  of  General  Morell  was  to 
Bwve  to  Hanover  Court-house  the  following  day.  The  division 
Boved  at  three  o'clock  in  the  morning  of  the  27th  inst,  but  the 
companies  of  the  Eighteenth  that  had  been  already  on  duty  for 
.tvenfy-fbur  hours,  were  too  exhausted  to  march  at  that  time, 
^  consequently  the  regiment  was  ordered  to  remain,  and  rest 
t  few  hours  in  camp. 

The  regiment  marched,  on  the  27th,  to  Hanover  Court-house, 
bat  in  consequence  of  the  delay  had  not  the  good  fortune  to 
trrive  in  season  to  share  the  honors  of  the  victory  achieved  by 
Um  division.

Washqcgton,  D.  C  Dec.  10, 1862.     J 

Governor  Andrew,  —  My  dear  Sir: — General  Martindale,  at  pretent 
IfiEtaiy  GoT^nor  ci  Washington,  desires  me  to  say,  that  he  has  been  rerj 
nxioiB  since  receiring  joor  commnnicatioQ  in  reference  to  Massachosetts 
ni&n,  to  address  joa  himsJr,  bat  the  pressure  of  military  business  here 
tbesteos  to  prevent  it  altogether,  unless  he  makes  his  commonication  inicnrmally 
tBoagli  me. 

He  desires  me  to  say,  that  the  Massachnsetts  Eighteenth  RegioMnt  came 
nader  bb  command  early  in  September,  1861,  and  so  remained  ontil  the  11th 
flf  JqIj,  18<^  Except  at  the  investment  of  Yorktown,  they  were  never  in 
Uf  pitched  battle  while  with  him.  The  regiment  was  under  fire  for  the  first 
tine  00  the  5th  of  April,  on  arrival  before  Torfctown. 

Prerioas  to  the  battle  of  Hanover  Court-house,  they  were  on  picket  duty, 
ad  coqU  not  join  the  brigade  until  after  the  fight  Immediately  before  the 
mmk  down  the  Chickahominy,  the  regiment  was  detailed  and  detached  with 
General  Stoneman  to  the  White  House,  and  having  covered  that  post  daring 
tike  bsttle  of  Gaines*  Mill,  retired  to  Fortress  Monroe.  They  rejoined  the 
nBBBuid  at  Harrison's  Landing. 

An  thii  time  it  was  a  regiment  distinguished  for  its  high  discipline  and 
ridieriy  bearing. 

Tbe  Manachnsetts  Twenty-Second  Regiment,  first  under  the  command  of 
CoioDel  Wibon,  was  asngned  to  General  Martindale's  command  in  October, 
1861 ;  the  regiment  soon  however  passed  to  the  command  of  Colonel  Gove, 
«tbo  whom  a  more  gallant,  intelligent  and  efficient  officer  could  not  be  found 
is  die  whole  army. 

Tbii  raiment  also  continued  with  General  Martindale  during  the  winter 
^  1861  sod  '62,  uid  during  the  whole  period  of  the  operations  before  Rich- 
■oad  and  upon  the  Peninsula,  it  was  very  often  in  battle,  and  always  behaved 
^  signal  bravery  and  effectiveness. 

On  die  first  i^>proach  to  Yorktown,  it  was  under  a  very  galling  fire  of  mus- 
ketry ae  well  as  artillery,  losing  more  men  in  killed  and  wounded  than  all  of  the 
«Aer  regiments  in  General  Porter's  Division  together. 

lo  the  operations  and  battle  at  Hanover  Court-house  the  r^ment  performed 
>  coupiciioas  part. 

On  the  26th  June,  st  Mechanicsville,  it  was  again  in  battle. 

On  the  27th  of  June,  at  Gaines'  Mill,  it  was  once  more  in  battle.  Here  the 
Imoted  Colonel  Gove  fell 

Abo  the  regiment  participated  in  the  entire  succession  of  movements  until 
Halvem  HOI  was  reached,  and  the  victorious  battle  at  that  place  had  been 

AiogHoo  the  30th  June  and  1st  July. 
General  Martindale  desires  me  to  express  not  only  his  approbation  but  his 

^^Biralion  of  the  whole  military  conduct  of  this  regiment,  during  the  entire 

P^iod  of  its  connection  with  him.    Throughout  the  whole  campaign,  in  every 

^nnch  of  the  service,  no  regiment  from  any  State  reflected  greater  credit  on  the 

^^Bunooity  from  which  it  was  sent,  or  won  more  well-deserved  laurels  for  itself. 
The  General  desires  to  name  for  your  particular  notice  Lieutenant-Colonel

Colonel  Hinks  foand  himself  the  senior  officer  at  (lie  Ferry, 
aod  assumed  direction  of  the  transportation  across  the  river. 
He  had  a  portion  of  the  First  California,  a  battalion  of  the 
Forty-Second  New  York,  (Tammany,)  and  four  pieces  of  artil- 
lery to  throw  across  before  his  own  regiment  could  move.  The 
transportation  was  very  poor  and  insufficient,  and  the  work  of 
crossing  slow,  arduous  and  tedious.  There  were  three  small 
scows,  two  capable  of  carrying  thirty  men  each,  the  third,  of 
capacity  sufficient  to  carry  sixty  men,  or  one  piece  of  artillery 
and  its  horses.  These  had  to  be  poled  up  stream  and  slowly 
allowed  to  drop  down  and  across  to  Harrison's  Island,  which  at 
this  point  divides  the  stream.  The  swollen  condition  of  the  river 
made  this  work  dangerous  and  difficult.  The  first  boat  was 
launched  and  manned  by  men  of  Captain  Rice's  Company,  who 
continued  throughout  the  day  and  the  next  night  to  work  the 
boats  between  the  Maryland  shore  and  island,  and  the  opposite 
side  of  the  island  and  the  Virginia  shore.  A  rope  was  finally 
stretched  across  the  stream,  being  taken  from  passing  canal 
boats  for  the  purpose,  by  means  of  which  the  boats  could  run 
regularly  and  more  frequently.  But  even  with  this  advantage, 
the  eight  companies  of  this  regiment  did  not  reach  tlie  island 
unUl  sunset,  just  as  our  forces  which  had  been  desperately 
engaged  on  the  Virginia  side  were  compelled  to  break  and  seek 
safety  in  flight.  This  regiment  marched  in  line  across  the 
island  just  in  time  to  see  our  worsted  forces  hotly  pursued, 
fljing  in  disorder  down  the  opposite  bank,  and  by  their  firm 
front  stopped  the  pursuit.  But  the  hurrying  crowds  of  our 
broken  ranks,  rushing  into  the  single  boat  that  formed  the  only 
communication  with  the  Virginia  shore,  swamped  it,  and  ren- 
dered any  further  passage  impo^ible.  That  night  this  regi- 
ment held  possession  of  the  island,  and  labored  in  rescuing  their 
fljinjg  comrades  that  managed  to  swim  the  river,  and  in  collect- 
iDg,  caring  for  and  transporting  to  the  Maryland  shore,  the 
dead,  dying  and  wounded  on  the  island.  Morning  found  the 
work  pretty  effectually  accomplished,  and  at  an  hour  before 
daybreak  the  lieutenant-colonel ,  on  direction  from  Colonel 
Hinks,  disposed  this  regiment,  two  companies  of  the  Twentieth 
Massachusetts,  which  had  joined  us  during  the  night,  a  rem- 
nant of  the  Tammany  and  two  pieces  of  Captain  Vaughn's 
Khode  Island  Battery,  in  the  best  position  for  the  defence  of

t  total  of  989  men. 

Erery  officer  and  man  was  tbua  employed  in  arduous  duty 
Mtil  the  12th  of  March,  1862,  when  the  regiment  was  ordered 
to  Harper's  Ferry,  to  join  the  remainder  of  the  brigade,  under 
eonffland  of  Brigadier-Oeneral  N.  J.  T.  Dana,  on  its  road  to 
moforce  General  Banks  in  the  Shenandoah  Valley. 

The  regiment  reached  Harper's  Ferry  on  the  morning  of  the 
ISth,  marched  that  afternoon  to  Charlestown,  and  encamped 
for  the  night ;  the  next  night  reached  Berryville,  where  it 
joioed  the  other  two  brigades  of  the  di?ision,  under  command 
of  Brigadier-General  John  Sedgwick.  On  the  15th,  the 
Dirision  started  early,  on  its  return  to  Harper's  Ferry,  where  it 
reajtined  till  March  24th,  when  it  was  transported  to  Washing-

'c&tined  in  camp  till  March  27th,  when  it  took  transports  for 
fortress  Monroe.  On  account  of  a  sudden  storm,  just  as  the 
boat  which  carried  this  regiment  left  the  Potomac  River,  it  put 
Wk  behind  Point  Lookout  to  avoid  being  swamped.  Tlie  boat

lieateoant-Colonel  Deyereux  to  quit  the  field.  He  stayed  long 
esoogh  to  receive  still  another  wound. 

After  the  battle  of  Antietam,  Lieutenant-Colonel  Devereux 
getting  leaye  of  absence  on  account  of  death  in  his  family,  the 
eonmaod  of  the  regiment  came  into  the  hands  of  Captain  H. 
0. 0.  Weymouth,  assisted  by  Captain  Mahony.  Under  his 
eofflmand  the  regiment  marched  to  Harper's  Ferry  and  went 
into  ctmp  September  21  st,  1862. 

The  original  number  of  the  regiment  was  886 ;  recruits,  259 
f^ed  or  discharged,  15 ;  dismissed,  1 ;  missing  in  action,  80 
Hied  in  action  or  mortally  wounded,  60 ;    died  of  disease,  27

3;  transferred  to  other  regiments,  2  ;  deserted,  109  ;  wounded 
in  tction,  217  ;  total,  present  and  absent,  524. 

The  foregoing  forms  a  noble  record  of  the  Massachusetts 
N'loeteenth,  but  it  does  not  tell  all.  Its  last  crowning  act  of 
^wzs  crossing  the  Rappahannock,  at  Fredericksburg,  in 
^ts,  with  the  Michigan  Seventh,  to  dislodge  the  enemy's 
sharpshooters,  who  were  picking  off  our  men  engaged  in 
Wding  the  pontoon  bridges  on  which  the  Union  army  was  to 
cross.  It  was  found  impossible  to  complete  the  bridges,  as  long 
»8  these  rebel  sharpsh<x)ters,  securely  hid  in  houses  in  Fred- 
aicksburg,  were  picking  off  the  men  detailed  to  build  them. 
^eall  was  made  for  volunteers  to  cross  the  river  in  boats  and 
dislodge  the  unseen  foe.  The  Seventh  Michigan  and  the  Nine- 
teenth Massachusetts  immediately  volunteered,  on  what  might 
^dl  be  regarded  as  a  forlorn  hope.  They  crossed,  and  drove

ID  pursuing  the  usual  round  of  camp  duties,  the  only  active 
serrice  in  which  the  regiment  engaged  was  picketing  the 
Potomac  from  Edward's  Ferry  to  Seneca  Mills. 

On  the  twenty-fifth  of  February  the  Twentieth  broke  up 
camp  preparatory  to  entering  upon  an  active  campaign.  It 
first  removed  to  "  Camp  Lee,"  so  named  in  honor  of  Colonel 
Lee,  in  the  immediate  vicinity  of  Poolesville. 

Oq  the  11th  of  March,  Dana's  Brigade,  including  the 
Twentieth,  left  Poolesville  to  join  the  rest  of  the  division, 
which  had  already  gone  forward  to  the  assistance  of  General 
Banks  in  his  advance  down  the  Valley  of  the  Shenandoah.  The 
brigade  marched,  however,  no  farther  than  Berryville,  Va., 
where  the  whole  division  was  ordered  back,  the  enemy  having 
been  driven  out  of  Winchester.  Sedgwick's  Division  was 
stationed  in  Bolivar,  the  Twentieth  being  cantoned  in  the 
deserted  houses  of  that  town.  On  the  25th,  Dana's  Brigade 
removed  to  Washington ;  27th,  the  Twentieth  embarked  on 
board  of  the  transport  ^^  Catskill,"  on  the  28th  started  for 
the  Peninsula,  and  on  the  31st  landed  at  Hampton,  Ya.  In  a 
short  time  the  whole  Army  of  the  Potomac  was  collected  and 
encamped  near  the  ruins  of  that  village.  By  the  organization 
of  the  Army  of  the  Potomac  established  a  short  time  previous,

ordinary  duties  of  camp,  pressed  severely  upon  officers  and 
men. 

May  1st,  Colonel  Lee,  "Major  and  Dr.  Revere,  returned  to  the 
regimeiit.  The  next  day  Colonel  Lee  took  the  regiment  out  on 
picket,  and  on  tbe  morning  succeeding  led  the  Twentieth  into 
the  fortifications  of  the  enemy,  which  were  abandoned  on  the 
night  previous.  The  flag  of  the  Twentieth  was  among  the 
fiftt  planted  on  those  fortifications;  6th,  the  Twenfieth  left 
*'  Camp  Winfield  Scott,"  and  by  night  marched  through  York- 
town  ;  6th,  it  embarked  on  the  transport  Vanderbilt,  for  West 
Point;  7th,  was  the  battle  of  West  Point;  the  Twentieth  was 
drawn  up  in  line  of  battle  on  the  extreme  left,  supporting  Por- 
ter's (Massachusetts)  Battery,  a  position  of  honor.  No  one  ot 
the  Twentieth  was  injured  in  this  battle.  9th,  the  regiment 
marched  to  Eltham  Landing.  From  Eltham  it  marched  to 
Cumberland  Landing,  to  Mayo's  plantation.  They  encamped 
on  the  banks  of  the  Chickahominy,  near  the  Tyler  House, 
formerly  the  residence  of  Ex-President  Tyler.  31st,  was  the 
first  day  of  the  battle  of  Fair  Oaks.  In  the  forenoon  of 
that  day,  our  forces  already  across  the  river  had  been  defeated 
with  great  slaughter.  At  three  o'clock  in  the  afternoon 
Sumner's  Corps  started  to  cross  to  the  right  bank  of  the 
Chickahominy.  The  river  was  much  swollen,  and  the  bridge 
so  much  injured  that  Sedgwick's  Division  alone  succeeded  in 
crossing  that  night.  The  Twentieth  was  in  the  rear  of  the 
division,  and  reached  the  battle-field  at  about  five  o'clock  in  the 
afternoon.  It  took  its  position  on  the  left,  and  opened  fire 
upon  the  enemy.  It  was  finally  ordered  to  advance,  to  charge 
bayonet,  but  before  an  actual  charge  was  made,  the  enemy's 
lines  broke  in  confusion.  The  battle  ended  at  dark,  and  the 
Twentieth  rested  for  the  night  on  the  ground  won  from  the 
enemy. 

In  the  next  day's  battle  the  Twentieth  took  no  part,  except 
the  passive  one  of  exposure  to  danger. 

In  the  battle  of  Fair  Oaks,  no  officer  of  the  regiment  was 
injured.  Three  enlisted  men  were  killed,  and  twenty-two 
▼ounded.  During  the  night,  after  the  first  day's  battle,  squads 
of  men  were  sent  out  from  the  regiment  to  collect  the  wounded 
and  stragglers  of  the  enemy.  In  this  way  over  a  hundred 
prisoners  were  taken,  among  them  Brigadier-General  Pettigrew,

whole  day ;  2d,  at  two,  A.  M.,  it  left  Malvern  Hill,  and  at  noon

rest  of  Dana's  brigade,  re-crossed  the  Potomac,  on  its  way  to 
the  soene  of  (General  Pope's  defeat.  It  marched  twenty  miles 
in  the  midst  of  rain,  and  over  roads  slippery  with  mud;  to 
Fairfax  Court-house. 

Sq^mber  1st,  the  Twentieth  took  up  its  position  a  few  miles 
bejond  Fairfax  Court-house,  where  it  remained  while  one 
column  of  Pope's  army  passed  by  in  retreat.  It  Uien  brought 
up  the  rear  of  the  column,  and  reached  Alexandria  at  midnight. 
One  day's  rest  at  Alexandria,  and  the  march  was  resumed.

17th  to  the  battle-field  of  Antietam  Creek.  The  march  tlirough 
Maryland  was  slow,  averaging  six  miles  a  day,  but  was  weari- 
some in  the  extreme. 

The  Twentieth  took  about  four  hundred  men  into  the  battle 
of  Antietam,  many  of  them  recruits.  It  was  in  the  second 
liae,  the  division  being  in  lines  of  brigades ;  Gorman's  brigade,

OQ  the  Bumside  expedition,  and  under  command  of  Lieutenant-  • 
Cokmel  Alberto  C.  Maggi,  Colonel  Morse  remafning  at 
Annapolis  as  commandant  of  the  post,  went  on  board 
the  steamer  "  Northerner,"  January  6th,  1802.  The  regiment 
embarked  nine  hundred  and  thirty-seven  men,  in  the  aggregate. 
The  regiment  passed  a  stormy  and  distressing  month  on  board 
the  "  Northerner,"  most  of  which  period  was  spent  at  Cape 
Hatleras.  The  men  were  remarkably  free  from  disease  during 
this  time,  though  four  members  of  the  regiment  died  of 
tjphoid  fever,  while  on  board  ship. 

Late  in  the  afternoon  of  February  7th,  the  Twenty-First  was 
disembarked  to  take  part  in  the  attack  upon  the  rebel  forces 
entrenched  on  Roanoke  Island,  and  effected  a  landing,  under 
cover  of  the  gunboats,  witliout  loss.  To  the  Twenty-First  was 
assigned  the  honor  of  doing  picket  duty  for  the  division  that 
night;  this  dangerous  duty  was  well  performed,  with  the  loss 
of  one  man,  severely  wounded  by  the  enemy.  The  regiment 
were  remarkably  cool  in  the  battle  of^the  next  day,  8th.  The 
action  commenced  early  in  the  morning,  by  an  attack  upon  a 
rebel  battery,  strongly  supported,  and  well  covered  by  the 
enemy's  skirmishers.  The  Twenty-First,  gallantly  and  skil- 
fully led  by.  Lieutenant-Colonel  Maggi,  worked  their  way, 
under  the  enemy's  fire,  through  a  deep  swamp  full  of  dense 
underbrush  and  briers,  which  protected  the  right  flank  of  the 
battery,  and  was  considered  by  the  enemy  fls  impassable. 
Having  flanked  the  position,  the  regiment  made  a  brave,  steady

On  the  17th  day  of  April,  the  regiment  went  on  board  the 
"Northerner"  again,  and  landing  at  Elizabeth  City,  North 
Carolina,  at  day-break  on  the  19th,  after  a  distressing  forced 
march  of  nearly  twenty  miles,  took  part  in  the  spirited  battle 
of  Camden,  fitly  celebrating  tlie  anniversary  of  the  first  blood 
shed  in  the  suppression  of  the  rebellion,  by  a  victory.  Tlie 
loss  of  the  regiment  in  the  battle  of  Camden,  was : — 

Enlisted  men  killed,  1 ;  wounded,  14 ;  3  of  them  mortally, 
who  have  since  died  ;  prisoner,  1. 

Total  killed  and  wounded  in  the  action,  15. 

The  object  of  the  expedition  having  been  accomplished,  the 
regiment  marched  back  to  Elizabeth  City,  re-embarked  on  board 
the  "  Northerner,'*  within  twenty-four  hours  from  the  time 
they  left  it,  and  returned  to  their  camp  at  Newbern. 

On  the  17th  of  May,  18G2,  the  regiment  was  called  on  to 
make  a  forced  march  to  Pollocksvillo,  to  the  rescue  of  the  Sec- 
ond Regiment  Maryland  Volunteers,  who  were  reported  as 
surrounded  by  superior  numbers  of  the  enemy.  The  regiment 
started  at  four,  A.  M.,  without  waiting  for  breakfast,  and 
marched  eleven  miles,  with  great  rapidity,  in  a  drenching  rain, 
tni  through  deep,  sticky  mud,  when  it  was  discovered  that  the 
enemy  were  retreating  and  the  Marylanders  safe.  The  Twenty-  ^ 
First  made  coffee,  and  provided  food  out  of  rations  which  they 
had  brought  with  them  for  their  own  use,  for  their  half-famished 
brethren  from  Maryland,  who  had  lived  for  three  days  on  one 
day's  rations.  This  act  of  kindness  was  fully  appreciated  by 
the  recipients,  and  the  commanding  officer  of  the  Second 
Maryland  issued  an  order  in  the  name  of  his  regiment,  thank- 
ing the  Twenty-First  for  the  alacrity  with  which  they  marched 
to  the  rescue,  and  greeting  them  as  brothers  for  their  kindness 
in  feeding  his  hungry  mfen. 

On  the  6th  July,  1862,  the  Twenty-First  Regiment  went  on 
board  the  schooners  "  Scout"  and  "  Farrington  ;  "  arrived  off 
Fortress  Monroe  on  the  8th,  and  on  the  9th  went  into  camp  at 
Newport  News,  Va.  The  camp  was  called  '' Camp  Lincoln," 
m  honor  of  the  President. 

On  the  2d  August,  1862,  the  regiment  went  on  board  the 
iteamers  "  Nantasket "  and  "  Highland  Liglit,"  and  disem- 
barked at  Acquia  Creek,  Va.,  ob  the.  4th ;  went  to  Fredericks-

upon  them  by  the  first  voUej  from  their  concealed  foes,  the 
regiment  held  its  ground.  The  rain  soon  made  most  of  the 
guns  on  both  sides  unserviceable,  but  the  Twenty-First  were

Dombering  284,  officers  and  enlisted  men,  and  remained 
with  the  brigade  until  10  o'clock  the  next  morning,  when  they 
were  ordered  to  support  the  Tenth  New  Hampshire  Regiment, 
who  were  acting  as  skirmishers  in  rear  of  the  city.  Our  forces 
tton  advanced  towards  the  formidable  earthworks  of  the  en6my 
on  the  heights  overlooking  the  town,  and  were  met  by  a  terrible 
stium  of  shot  and  shell.  Nothing  daunted  they  pressed  forward 
ontfl  within  range  of  the  enemy's  infantry  posted  behind  stone- 
walls, earthworks  and  natural  ridges.  The  Second  Brigade 
was  ordered  to  the  front,  and  forming  in  double  line  of  battle 
most  gallantly  and  steadily  moved  across  the  plain,  swept  by 
the  destructive  fire  of  the  enemy.  When  about  sixty  rods  from 
the  city,  Color-Sergeant  Collins,  of  Company  A,  was  shot  and  fell 
to  the  ground.  Sergeant  Plunkett,  of  Company  E,  instantly 
seized  the  colors  and  carried  them  forward  to  the  farthest  point 
reached  by  our  troops  during  the  battle,  when  a  shell  from  the 
rebels  was  thrown  with  fatal  accuracy  at  the  colors  and  brought 
them  to  the  ground,  wet  with  the  life  blood  of  tho  brave 
Hunkett,  both  of  whose  arms  were  carried  away.  The  glorious 
flag  was  then  raised  by  Color-Corporal  Olney,  of  Company  H, 
and  (^rried  by  him  during  the  remainder  of  the  day.  Color- 
Corporal  Barr,  of  Company  C,  was  shot  while  carrying  the  State 
colors,  and  the  post  of  honor  and  danger  was  quickly,  filled  by 
Color-Corporal  Wheeler,  of  Company  I.  The  whole  number  of 
casualties  in  this  battle  is  69,  viz. :  8  killed,  56  wounded,  and  5 
missing.'  After  expending  their  ammunition,  the  Twenty-First 
fdl  back  into  the  line  of  support,  and  remained  until  dark  when 
they  returned  to  their  position  near  the  bridge,  where  the 
brigade  passed  the  night  and  the  next  day. 

About  8  o'clock  Sunday  evening  the  brigade  was  ordered  to

Since  the  forgoing  account  was  in  type,  I  have  received  a 
letter  from  (Jovernor  Clifford,  in  answer  to  an  inquiry  respecting 
a  letter  frt)m  Captain  Howland  to  his  father,  written  soon  after 
the  capture  of  Boanake  Island,  and  shown  by  Governor  Clifford 
to  yoor  Excellency  and  myself  last  winter.  He  says  the  letter 
is  not  now  within  his  reach,  but  adds,  ^^  I  distinctly  remember 
the  remark,  as  reported  in  the  letter,  of  the  engineer  who 
coDstnicted  the  fortifications,  and  who  was  taken  prisoner, 
namely,  that  when  they  saw  the  Twenty-Third  had  traversed  that 
^Serbonian  bog,'  the  swamp,  and  emerged  upon  their  flank, 
they  knew  it  was  all  over  with  them  ; — that  they  did  not  fear  a 
direct  assault  upon  their  works,  and  had  made  no  provision  to 
repel  a  flank  movement,  because  they  regarded  the  swamp  as 
utterly  impassable  except  by  devils,  and  as  constituting  therefore 
an  impregnable  outwork  on  that  side.  And  the  fact,  I  believe, 
was  that  when  the  Massachusetts  troops  appeared  on  that  side, 
the  evacuation  of  their  works,  and  the  hasty  flight  of  the  rebels, 
were  simultaneous  with  that,  to  them,  unearthly  apparition." 

Head-Qoartkbs  Army  of  the  Potomac,) 
November  21, 1862.     ) 
Totlie  Hon.  John  A.  Andrew,  Governor  of  Massachusetts: 

GoTernor,  —  I  have  the  honor  to  acknowledge  the  receipt  of  ^rour  com- 
numieation  of  the  7th  inst  in  regard  to  the  volunteer  forces  of  Massachusetts. 

On  the  expedition  to  North  Carolina  five  regiments  of  Massachusetts  troops 
accompanied  me  — the  21st,  23d,  24th,  25th,  and  27th.  While  these  of 
coane  varied  in  efficieney,  according  to  the  qualifications  of  their  officers,  I 
c^oot  speak  in  too  high  terms  of  their  general  excellence  of  discipline  and 
<irilli  and  their  cool  courage  and  dashing  bravery  in  action.  The  battle  of 
BoMioke  was  the  first  occasion  on  which  they  were  under  fire,  and  they  be- 
ared with  the  steadiness  of  old  troops,  winning  the  highest  encomiums  from 
tbeir  brigade  commanders,  Grenerals  Foster  and  Reno.  After  the  capture  of 
J^ewbem,  the  Seventeenth  Regiment  was  added  to  my  forces,  and  since  my 
tmufer  to  the  Ninth  Army  Corps  other  Massachus^ts  Regimeats  have  come 
binder  my  command.  I  will  not  speak  of  them  in  detail,  only  saying  I  have 
BothiDg  bat  praise  to  give  them,  and  their  deeds  and  reputation  are  worthy 
^  the  gallant  and  patriotic  State  from  which  they  come. 
I  have  the  honor  to  be,  Governor, 

Respectfully,  your  obedient  servant, 

A.  E.  BuRKSiDB,  Major-General  Commanding,

And  this  regiment  was  behind  no  other,  but  rather — if 
ly  judge  by  the  fact  of  its  being  often  selected  for  difficult 
nportant  duties — it  was  considered  to  be  among  the  best, 
lie  first  considerable  battle  at  Gaines'  Mills,  Major  William 
ton  had  the  command,  and  he  testifies  to  the  unswerving 
y  of  all  the  men.     The  regiment  did  not  give  way  until 

to  do  so  by  tlie  danger  of  being  outflanked ;  as  it  was, 
-three  were  taken  prisoners,  including  seven  officers,  viz. : 
W.  T.  Tilton,  (now  Colonel  commanding  the  regiment)  ; 
ins  J.  B.  Whorf  and  C.  0.  Conant ;  Lieutenants  George

d  much  to  their  benefit.

Baring  the  gale  of  the  14th,  the  gunboat  Zouave,  on  board  of 
▼hich  were  several  marines,  detailed  from  this  regiment,  sunk 
it  her  moorings,  inside  the  inlet,  and  bilged.  Her  crew  and 
passengers  were  saved.  As  the  schooner  Highlander  was 
entering  the  inlet,  a  boat,  manned  by  several  of  the  regiment, 
succeeded  in  rescuing  the  Lieutenant-Colonel,  Adjutant,  Quar- 
termaster, and  several  others  of  the  Ninth  New  Jersey  Regi- 
ment, who  were  thrown  overboard  by  the  capsizing  of  a  small 
boat  in  the  surf.    The  Colonel  and  Surgeon  were  drowned. 

January  22d,  the  regiment  succeeded  in  getting  over  the 
"  Swash,"  so  called,  separating  Hatteras  Inlet  from  Pamlico 
Sound.  The  Hussar  drawing  too  much  water,  considerable 
difficulty  was  experienced  in  crossing  the  "  Swash."  The  regi- 
ment remained  at  anchor  in  Pamlico  Sound,  about  three  miles 
from  the  Inlet,  for  about  a  fortnight,  being  for  the  greater  por- 
tion of  the  time  on  short  allowance  of  both  food  and  water, 
occasioned  by  frequent  and  heavy  gales,  in  which  it  was  unsafe 
for  the  launches  to  venture  out. 

February  5th,  the  weather  being  fine  and  clear,  the  expedi- 
tion started  from  Pamlico  Soi^d  to  accomplish  the  reduction 
ofBoanoke  Island.  Over  sixty  vessels  composed  the  fleet, 
learing  part  of  the  troops,  with  about  forty  vessels,  at  Hatteras 
Inlet.    At  sunset  they  came  to  anchor  about  two  miles  from

stand  of  arms,  and,  including  tbe  three  forts  or  shore  batteries, 
about  fortj  guns. 

Our  loss  in  the  engagement  was:   killed,  8 ;  wounded,  5. 

The  eomparatiyely  small  loss  sustained  by  the  regiment  in 
the  engagement  was  owing  principally  to  the  low  swamp  and 
thick  bushes  in  which  the  regiment  was  drawn  up,  the  shot  and 
diell  from  the  enemy's  guns  passing  overhead.  They  took  up 
their  quarters  for  the  night  in  the  barracks  formerly  occupied 
by  the  rebels,  of  which  there  were  some  thirty  spacious 
bmldings,  capable  of  accommodating  about  six  thousand  troops. 
The  camp  was  styled  "  Camp  Foster,"  in  honor  of  Brigadier- 
General  John  G.  Foster. 

February  14th,  an  order  was  issued  by  General  Burnside, 
tendering  his  thanks  to  the  troops  for  their  gallant  and 
meritorious  conduct  in  the  late  action,  and  that  we  had 
exceeded  his  every  expectation  as  Massachusetts  troops,  also, 
that  the  words  "  Roanoke,  February  8th  "  be  inscribed  on  our 
banners. 

On  the  morning  of  the  11th  of  March,  the  signal  was  given 
for  starting,  and  the  fleet  sailed  for  Newbern,  N.  C,  this  regi- 
ment being  on  board  the  Highlander  and  Hussar.  At  sunset 
fliey  had  arrived  in  sight  of  Hatteras  Inlet,  where  they  came  to 
anchor  for  the  night.  Tlie  following  morning  weighed  anchor 
and  started  again,  arriving  oflF  the  mouth  of  the  Neuse  River 
early  in  the  afternoon.  Large  bonfires  along  the  coast  signalled 
our  approach  to  the  inhabitants  of  the  interior,  and  the  advance 
np  the  river  was  continued  more  slowly,  meeting  with  no 
obstractions  however.  Late  in  the  evening  we  came  to  anchor, 
about  fifteen  miles  from  Newbern  ;  13th,  the  troops  commenced 
landing  in  boats  and  light-draft  steamers,  after  the  manner  of 
tlie  landing  at  Roanoke  Island,  under  cover  of  the  gunboats, 
tt  a  place  called  Siocura's  Creek.  The  regiment  reached  the 
shore  about  noon,  and  immediately  took  up  the  line  of  march. 
After  marching  about  three  miles  they  came  up  to  the  deserted 
barracks  of  the  enemy's  cavalry ;  but  only  halting  for  a  hasty 
inspection,  they  continued  on,  although  a  violent  rain  storm 
prevailed,  and  the  men  were  wet  to  the  skin  ;  they  were  in  the 
most  cheerful  spirits,  and  seemed  confident  that  they  were 
marching  to  certain  victory.     About  five  o'clock  they  passed  a

Captain  Wesley  C.  Sawyer,  of  Company  H,  had  his  left  thigh 
amputated  ;  and  one  man  was  taken  prisoner. 

March  2l8t,  the  thanks  of  Governor  Andrew,  of  Massachu- 
setts, were  read  to  the  regiment,  for  several  rebel  flags  sent  to  the 
State  by  the  Massachusetts  regiments  in*  the  Burnside  expedi- 
tioQ.  An  order  was  also  read  from  General  Burnside,  tender- 
ing his  thanks  to  the  various  regiments  for  their  gallant  conduct 
intfaebatde  of  Newbern,  and  ordering  the  words  "Newbern, 
March  14th,"  to  be  inscribed  on  their  banners. 

March  23d,  the  regiment'  left  Camp  Derby  in  the  morning, 
for  three  days'  picket  duty,  on  the  Trent  and  Neuse  roads. 

April  2d,  diey  left  camp  at  sunrise,  on  an  expedition,  in  the 
steamer  Klot  Boy.  Reached  Jacksonville,  on  the  Bay  River, 
about  sundown,  but  not  finding  any  force  of  the  enemy, 
retamed  to  Newbern  at  midnight. 

April  5th,  General  Bumside's  expedition  was  re-prganized 
into  a  grand  corps  d'  armed,  of  three  divisions,  under  Generals 
Poster,  Reno  and  Park,  the  Twenty-Third  being  assigned  to 
the  first  brigade,  under  command  of  Colonel  Amory,  in  General 
Poster's  Division. 

April  11th  and  12th,  the  regiment  went  into  camp  at  Bach- 
cider's  Creek,  eight  miles  from  Newbern,  near  the  railroad 
bridge,  the  camp  being  called  "  Camp  Merritt,"  in  honor  of  the 
kte  Lieutenant-Colonel  Herritt. 

April  24th,  an  expedition  under  Adjutant  Chambers  left 
camp  before  daylight,  for  the  purpose  of  capturing  the  enemy's 
pickets.  Arriving  near  their  station,  our  force  was  discovered 
hj  a  negro,  who  gave  the  alarm,  and  springing  to  their  horses 
the  rebels  made  their  escape,  receiving  a  volley  from  our  boys. 
We  secured  one  of  their  horses,  nearly  all  of  their  arms, 
blankets,  etc.,  and  returned  to  camp.  None  were  injured  on 
oar  side. 

April  29th,  while  Company  E  were  on  picket,  they  were 
attacked  by  a  large  body  of  rebel  cavalry,  who  succeeded  iu 
killing  one,  and  taking  three  prisoners.  The  picket  imme- 
diately rallied,  but  the  rebels  had  fled. 

According  to  orders  we  left  Bachelder's  Creek  on  the  morning 
of  May  4th,  and  after  marching  about  four  miles,  went  into 
camp  near  the  Red-house,  about  twelve  miles  from  Newbern, 
on  the    Trent    road,    leading    to    Kinston.      The    regiment

night  November  5th,  tliey  started  early  in  the  morning, 
taking  the  road  to  Tarboro' — marched  until  night,  when  they 
came  to  a  halt,  and  bivouacked  within  nine  miles  of  Tarboro'. 
The  following  morning  they  commeuced  their  return  march, 
not  having  met  with  the  enemy  in  any  force,  the  Twenty-Third 
haring  the  advance,  and  taking  a  different  road  to  Ilamilton 
from  that  by  which  they  came.  A  heavy  rain  having  set,  in  the 
roads  were  in  a  very  bad  condition,  and  the  marching  much 
harder  than  it  had  been  previously.  The  expedition  reached 
Hamilton  late  in  the  afternoon,  and  took  up  their  quarters  for 
the  night  in  the  deserted  dwellings.  November  7th,  a  violent 
suow  storm  raged  in  the  morning,  but  it  did  not  delay  the 
march,  which  was  continued  for  Williamston,  by  a  road  leading 
near  the  river,  and  which  they  had  not  travelled  before.  No 
f(»teoftbe  enemy  appeared  to  interrupt  the  march,  and  the 
expedition  reached  Williamston  in  the  afternoon,  where  it. 
remained  until  the  morning  of  the  9th,  when  the  line  of  march 
was  taken  up  for  Plymouth,  N.  C,  a  distance  of  twenty-three 
miles.  They  reached  the  latter  place  the  next  morning,  10th, 
and  the  Twenty-Third  went  aboard  the  steamer  Massasoit  and 
gunboat  Yidette,  for  Newbern,  which  they  reached  on  the  11th, 
at  noon,  having  been  absent  thirteen  days,  and  having  marched 
about  160  miles.  Many  of  the  regiment  were  without  boots  or 
shoes,  and  several  from  each'  company  barefooted.  The  expedi- 
tion captured  about  fifty  prisoners,  four  hundred  horses  and 
mules,  and  about  one  hundred  teams.  The  whole  was  under 
the  command  of  Major-General  Foster. 

The  regimental  rolls  bore  the  names  of  986  officers  and  men, 
on  the  10th  of  November,  1861.  On  the  10th  of  November,

want  of  food. 

On  the  6th  of  February,  the  fleet  sailed  up  Albemarle  Sound, 
and  on  the  7tb,  the  gunboats  engaged  the  batteries  on  Roanoke 
Island.  On  the  morning  of  the  8th,  the  troops  having  been 
landed,  carried  the  lower  batteries  by  storm,  and  the  rebels 
retreated  toward  the  upper  end  of  the  island.  The  regiment 
then  took  the  advance,  pursuing  the  retreating  rebels,  and  cap- 
tnring  over  1,500  prisoners,  with  a  large  amount  of  small  arms, 
and  a  stand  of  colors,  which  was  presented  to  the  State  of 
Massachasetts. 

On  the  8th  and  <6th  of  March,  Companies  A,  Captain  William 
P.  Redding,  C,  Captiin  William  Pratt,  and  F,  Captain  Robert 
F.  Clark,  took  part  in  an  expedition  to  Columbia,  N.  C. 

The  regiment  remained  at  Roanoke  Island,  quartered  in  the 
Ijarracks  of  the  rebels,  until  the  11th  of  March,  when  the  whole 
expedition,  with  the  exception  of  a  small  garrison  left  on  the 
island,  sailed  for  Newborn,  N.  C. 

On  the  13th  of  March,  the  regiment  landed  at  Slocum's 
Creek,  eighteen  miles  from  Newbem,  and  on  the  morning  of 
the  14th,  attacked  the  rebels  in  their  extensive  batteries  six 
nules  below  Newbem.  After  a  severe  fight  of  three  hours,  the 
rebels  were  driven  from  their  batteries  and  retreated  in  great 
disorder.  Biis  regiment  lost  56  men  killed  and  wounded

On  the  8th  of  July  Company  B,  Captain  George  W.  Gardner, 
and  Company  D,  Captain  John  T.  Prince,  Jr.,  were  ordered  to 
Washington,  N.  C.  On  the  Slst  the  regiment  took  part  in  an 
expedition  under  command  of  Colonel  Stevenson.  But  after 
crossing  the  Neuse  River  a  storm  arose  of  such  severity  that 
the  roads  became  impassabfe  and  the  expedition  was  given  up. 

On  the  18th  of  August,  the  regiment,  with  a  small  force  of 
marine  artillery,  started  on  an  expedition  to  Swansboro',  N.  C, 
under  command  of  Colonel  Stevenson.  They  destroyed  a 
large  amount  of  salt,  a  lot  of  very  extensive  salt  works,  and  a 
rebel  battery  and  barracks,  and  returned  to  Newbern,  on  the 
20th. 

On  the  6th  of  September  the  town  of  Washington,  N.  C,  was 
attacked  by  a  large  force  of  rebels.  Companies  B  and  D  formed 
part  of  the  force  engaged  in  the  defence  of  the  town,  and  lost 
six  men,  killed  and  wounded.  The  rebels  were  repulsed  after 
three  hours'  fighting.  On  the  12th  Companies  B  and  D  rejoined 
the  regiment  at  Newbern. 

On  the  30th  of  October  the  regiment  sailed  for  Washington, 
N.  C,  the  appointed  rendezvous  of  a  large  force  of  infantry, 
cavalry  and  artillery,  to  make  an  expedition  under  command  of 
Major-Greneral  Foster.  They  arrived  at  Washington  on  the 
31st,  and  on  the  morning  of  the  2d  of  November  the  whole  expe- 
dition took  up  the  line  of  march  for  Williamston.  They  had  two 
severe  skirmishes  on  the  2d,  one  just  at  dusk  and  the  other 
about  midnight.  They  reached  Williamston  on  the  3d,  and  con- 
tinued the  march  toward  the  rebel  batteries  and  breastworks 
below  Hamilton,  on  the  Roanoke  River ;  reached  the  batteries  on 
the  4th  and  found  them  deserted.  On  the  5th  they  penetrated 
to  within  ten  miles  of  Tarboro',  and  on  the  morning  of  the 
6th  started  on  their  return.  The  expedition  on  its  return 
marched  to  Hamilton,  tlience  to  Williamston,  and  from  there 
to  Plymouth,  where  it  embarked  for  Newbern,  which  place  it 
reached  on  the  11th. 

•  This  sketch  of  the  service  of  the  Twenty-Fourth  is  to  the 
10th  of  November ;  the  part  it  took,  if  any,  in  the  subsequent 
expedition  to  Goldsboro',  by  Major-General  Foster,  I  cannot 
record,  as  no  report  has  been  received  from  the  regiment,  since 
the  above  date. 

The  following  are  the  number  of  the  casualties  of  the  regi- 
inent  since  its  departure  from  the  Commonwealth,  December

800  yards  of  the  enemy^s  battery.  Fire  was  kept  up  by  us 
without  intermission  for  about  three  hours,  until  about  half-past 
ten,  A.  M.,  when,  our  ammunition  being  exhausted,  Colonel 
Upton  was  ordered  to  form  in  column  by  company,  in  rear  of  our 
right,  which  was  done  in  good  order.  The  men  rested  on  their 
Ams,  waiting  for  a  fresh  supply  of  ammunition,  until,  the 
enemy  having  left  his  work.  Colonel  Upton  was  ordered  to 
advance,  in  company  with  the  remainder  of  General  Foster's 
brigade.  Arriving  at  the  upper  end  of  the  island,  lie  was 
ordered  to  quarter  in  Camp  Foster,  then  in  possession  of  the 
Twenty-Third  and  Twenty-Fourth  Massachusetts  Regiments. 

In  this  action  this  regiment  had  6  killed  and  42  wounded. 

The  regiment  remained  on  Roanoke  Island  until  March  7th. 
On  the  morning  of  that  day  they  embarked  on  board  the  trans- 
ports, and  lay  at  anchor  off  the  Island  until  the  morning  of  the 
11th,  when  the  fleet  got  under  way,  and  passing  through 
Croatan  and  Pamlico  Sounds,  entered  the  mouth  of  the  Neuse 
River,  and  on  the  evening  of  the  12th  anchored  within  fifteen 
miles  of  the  city  of  Newbern.  On  the  morning  of  the  18th, 
covered  by  a  heavy  fire  from  our  gunboats,  who  shelled  the 
woods,  they  landed  at  Slocum's  Creek,  and  after  a  heavy  march 
often  miles  through  rain  and  mud,  bivouacked  for  the  niglit  in 
the  woods,  upon  the  cold,  wet  ground,  with  the  rain  beating 
down  upon  them. 

The  morning  dawned  rainy  and  cold.  At  daylight  the  line 
was  formed,  and  after  marching  about  ten  miles  they  came  in 
sight  of  the  enemy's  breastworks.  They  dropped  a  few  shells 
above  and  around  our  men,  but  pressing  on,  the  regiments 
were  placed  in  position,  and  soon  the  battle  became  general 
doug  tlie  whole  line. 

Colonel  Upton  was  ordered  by  General  Foster  to  move  to  the 
support  of  the  Twenty-Seventh  Massachusetts  Regiment,  on  the 
opposite  side  of  the  road.  Moving  in  that  direction,  they 
arrived  at  the  road,  and  were  then  ordered  by  General  Foster 
to  support  our  battery,  stationed  on  the  road.  Taking  position 
in  column  by  division,  they  remained  there  until  ordered  by 
General  Foster  to  deploy  and  charge  on  the  enemy's  works. 
This  was  done.  General  Foster  leading  the  charge,  the  enemy 
leafing  at  our  approach.  Passing  into  the  works  the  regiment

the  31st  Oi»  Sunday,  November  2d,  they  left  Washington, 
passed  through  Williamston  and  Hamilton,  on  towards  Tar- 
borou^.  On  Wednesday  night,  the  5th,  they  bivouacked 
within  ten  miles  of  Tarborough.  During  the  niglit  General 
Foster,  having  learned  from  reliable  sources  that  the  enemy, 
▼ith  their  railroad  communication  open,  and  re(;eiving  large 
reinforcements,  were  strongly  posted  behind  earthworks  at 
Tarborouglh,  a  retrograde  movement  was  determined  upon,  and 
on  Thursday,  the  6th,  they  took  up  the  line  of  march  for 
Hamilton;  arrived  there  that  afternoon,  and  remained  over 
night.  On  the  7th  they  marched  to  Williamston,  arriving  there 
in  the  afternoon,  and  remained  until  Sunday,  the  9th,  when 
the  march  was  resumed,  and  they  reached  Plymouth  Monday 
morning,  the  10th ;  and  most  of  the  troops  embarked  that  day 
for  Newbem.  The  Twenty-Fifth,  with  the  Twenty-Sevehth 
Massachusetts  Volunteers,  and  some  cavalry,  were  left  to 
protect  our  artillery,  which  was  awaiting  transportation  to 
Newbem. 

Six  companies  remained  there  on  the  3d  of  November.  Since 
^  regiment  left  Massachusetts,  they  have  lost  from  sickness 
thirty-nine,  in  a  period  of  nearly  fourteen  months. 

This  regiment  is  still  stationed  at  Newbem.  Whether  it 
took  part  in  the  late  expedition  to  Ooldsboro',  uhd6r  Major- 
General  Foster,  we  have  no  means  of  knowing,  as  no  report 
has  been  received  at  this  office.

morning  of  the  18th  ran  up  the  river  and  anchored  at  the  head 
of  the  Passes.  The  bombardment  of  Forts  Jackson  and  St. 
Philip  was  commenced  on  the  ISth,  and  though  the  regiment 
▼ere  too  far  awaj  t)  see  much  that  was  goii^g  on,  the  report  of 
the  heavy  guns  couM  be  distinctly  heard. 

On  the  morning  of  the  2l8t  thej  moved  up  the  river  again, 
and  finally  anchored  below  the  forts,  just  out  of  range  of  their 
guns.  They  lay  there  during  the  bombardment,  and  witnessed 
the  passing  of  the  forts  by  the  fleet  on  the  morning  of  the  25th. 
The  same  morning  (25th)  they  ran  down  the  river  through  the 
Southwest  Pass,  and  round  to  Sable  Bay,  in  the  rear  of  Fort 
St.  Philip,  where  they  arrived  on  the  26th.  They  then  left  the 
transport  Mississippi  for  the  gunboat  Miami,  and  moved  up  two 
or  three  miles  nearer  the  fort,  almost  in  range,  where  they  ran 
aground  and  remained  fast.  The  next  morning  (27th)  they 
commenced  their  disembarkation,  but  owing  to  the  insufiScient 
means  of  transport  only  part  of  the  regiment  could  move  at  a 
time,  and  the  last  company  did  not  land  till  the  morning  of 
the  28th. 

This  manoeuvre  was  intended  to  break  the  communication 
between  the  forts  and  the  city  of  New  Orleans,  which  was 
effectually  accomplished,  the  regiment  taking  possession  of 
Quarantine  Station,  and  throwing  one  Company  (H)  across 
the  river  as  guard  on  the  only  road  leading  to  the  forts.

Brattleboro*,  Vt.,  Nov.  15, 1862. 
Ha  ExeeDency  Governor  Andrew,  Bos(ony  Massachusetts : — 

Dear  Sir, — In  reply  to  your  printed  note  of  the  7th  inst.,  I  would  state  that 
tk  troqw  from  Massachusetts  which  have  served  under  my  command  were  as 
fefloin,  viz.  :-«-Colonel  JVardrop's  Regiment  of  three  months^  men,  Barnes' 
Battalion  of  Volunteers,  Colonel  Jones*  Twenty-Sixth  Volunteers,  Colonel 
Bodky's  Thirtieth  Volunteers,  Bead's  Cavalry,  three  companies,  and  Manning's 
Bitterj. 

Colonel  Wardrop's  Regiment  and  Barnes'  Battalion  served  with  me  at  New- 
,  port  News,  Vii^nia,  in  1861.  several  of  the  companies  taking  a  prominent 
part  in  the  battle  of  Big  Bethel 

Coknel  Jones'  Twenty-Sixth  and  Manning's  Battery  formed  the  larger 
part  of  the  Middlesex  Brigade,  with  which  I  received  possession  of  Ship  Island 
from  ow  navy.  The  Thirtieth,  under  Lieutenant-Colonel  French,  and  Read's 
CaTalrr,  sabseqaently  arrived  upon  the  island  and  joined  my  command. 

With  the  Thirtieth  and  Manning's  Battery  I  occupied  Forts  Jackson  and 
St  Fhifip,  on  their  surrender  by  the  rebels ;  and  these  forts  were  subsequently 
garrisoned  and  restored  to  order  by  the  Twenty-Sixth,  the  Thirtieth  and 
Manning's  Battery  proceeding  on  to  New  Orleans  and  ultimately  taking  part 
io  the  batUe  of  Baton  Rouge. 

The  intelligence  of  these  corps,  their  knowledge  of  the  cause  and  tenden- 
oet  of  the  rebellion,  and  their  devotion  to  liberty,  rendered  them  almost,  if 
not  qolte,  equal  to  regular  troops.  Especially  was  this  the  case  with  the 
Twenty-Sixth  and  the  men  of  Manning's  Battery.  The  Twenty-Sixth  per- 
&nned  their  duty  with  a  degree  of  regularity  and  subordination  to  military 
rale,  which  I  have  seldom  seen  surpassed  by  any  regular  corpa. 

With  respect  to  the  appointment  or  promotion  of  officers,  perhaps  the  Cap- 
tains of  a  regiment  might  constitute  a  Board  of  Selection,  to  reconmiend 
^troogfa  the  Colonel  such  persons  as  they  may  consider  proper  to  be  commia- 
«»ed  by  the  Governor ;  the  cases  occurring  in  the  cavalry  or  artillery  detached 
companies  to  be  brought  before  the  Captains  of  any  infantry  regiment  from 
the  same  State,  with  which  they  may  be  serving." 

Very  respectfully  your  obedient  servant, 

J.  W.  Phelps.

On  the  momiog  of  the  6th  of  February,  having  remained,  in 
tbe  interim,  on  board  of  the  transports,  which,  owing  to  the 
length  and  soveritj  of  the  storm,  were  prevented  from  joining 
eaeh  other  and  tfie  remainder  of  the  fleet,  they  started  for 
Pamlico  Sound,  and  duly  arrived  in  sight  of  Roanoke  Island. 
On  the  evening  of  the  7th,  the  gunboats  having  meanwhile 
^igaged  and  partly  silenced  the  enemy's  batteries  on  the  island, 
onr  forces,  of  which  this  regiment  composed  a  part,  landed  and 
biTonacked  in  an  open  field,  in  a  cold  drenching  rain.  Early  the 
fddlowfaig  morning,  the  regiment,  in  company  with  the  Twenty- 
Third  Massachusetts  Volunteers,  marched  to  the  attack,  passing 
in  their  course  through  miry  swamps  and  almost  impenetrable 
tlridets,  during  which  they  were  exposed  to  a  severe  fire  from 
tbeenenay,  secured  behind  entrenchments,  and  in  which  they  lost 
wreral  killed  and  wounded.  Our  forces  finally  succeeded  in 
tnming  the  enemy's  left  flank,  the  right  having  been  gained  by 
another  body  of  our  troops,  when  they  gave  way  and  were 
doselj  pursued  by  us,  which  finally  resulted  in  an  unconditional 
surrender  to  Greneral  Foster,  in  command  of  the  Federal  forces. 
Daring  this  engagement  the  loss  of  this  regiment  was  five 
Wled  and  fifteen  wounded.  On  the  11th  the  regiment  was 
<»dered  again  upon  transports,  where  they  remained  for  about  a 
month,  closely  crowded  on  board  three  vessels ;  with  impure 
air  the  health  of  the  regiment  became  visibly  affected.  Here, 
on  the  12th,  Captain  Henry  A.  Hubbard,  of  Company  I,  met 
Ws  death  in  consequence  of  a  cold  contracted  during  exposure 
at  Hatteras  Inlet.

His  Excellency  J.  A.  Andrew,  Governor  of  Mass 

Sir,  —  I  have  the  honor  to  acknowledge  your  circu 
ber,  making  inquiries  in  relation  to  the  conduct  and 
of  the  State  of  Massachusetts  as  have  happened  to  b 
the  past  year. 

The  only  troops  in  my  district  or  division  of  the  I 
from  your  State,  were  the  Twenty-Eighth  Regiment, 
Dawfuskie  Island,  on  the  Savannah  River,  Georgia 
Royal,  in  March  last.  They  were  afterwards  transfei 
Head  Islands,  and  they  formed  a  part  of  the  expc 
command  of  General  Hunter  and  myself,  proceeded 
Edisto  Harbors,  about  the  1st  of  June,  to  occupy  the 
Island,  for  an  attack  upon  Charleston,  S.  C.  This  re 
assigned  by  my  orders  to  the  brigade  nnder  Genera 
in  his  attack  upon  the  Secession ville  Battery  on  the  1 

The  material  of  which  this  Regiment  was  composed 
excellent  character  for  the  forming  of  good  soldier 
could  learn,  were  generally  obedient  and  industriou 
formance  of  their  duties.  But  I  am  compelled,  in 
unfortunate  disagreements  an\ong  the  principal  offic 
interfered  materially  with  its  drill  and  discipline.  ' 
ment  was  unfortunately  absent,  —  sick,  or  otherwis< 
command  of  his  regiment,  for  the  greater  part  of  tl 
there. 

And  I  regret  to  say  that  the  reports  made  to  me  ii 
of  the  officer  next  in  rank,  and  commanding  the  re 
of  the  action  at  James  Island,  on  the  16th  of  June, 
me  the  satisfaction  I  could  wish ;  while  the  Major,  an< 
with  the  great  body  of  the  regiment,  behaved  very 
that  affair,  until  they  were  recalled  from  the  front  of 
of  General  Stevens.' 

Of  the  officers,  I  noticed  particularly  Captain  &

to  examine  him,  —  was,  that  **  if  gone,  it  was  lost  in 
report  of  his  gallantry  and  good  conduct  on  the  fi( 
wish. 

As  to  the  suggestions  for  the  comfort  and  well-bei 
State,  Governor,  I  would  mention  two  or  three,  matt

e  afternoon  of  August  4th,  the  regimental  line  was

vas  continaed  the  next  day.  The  regiment  crossed  the  riyer 
and  tamed  to  the  left  from  Harper's  Ferrj,  keeping  around 
the  Blue  Ridge,  and  then  following  those  mountains  in  a  south- 
westerly direction,  ontil  it  encamped  about  midway  between 
Super's  Ferry  and  Yestal  Gap. 

0%  Sunday,  the  2d  of  November,  the  march  was  resumed, 
aud  the  regiment,  still  with  Porter's  corps,  moved  southward 
along  the  Blue  Bidge  to  Snickersville,  opposite  to  Snickers' 
Gap.  This  day's  march  was  a  rapid  one.  The  corps  arrived 
just  in  time  to  save  the  "  Gap  "  from  the  forces  under  the  rebel 
General  Jackson,  who  approached  it  from  the  other  side  of  the 
ridge.  On  the  6th  the  regiment  marched  from  Snickersville 
toward  the  Bull  Bun  Mountains,  via  Middleburg,  White  Plains 
and  New  Baltimore,  to  the  camp  near  Warreuton,  where  it 
▼as  on  the  10th  of  November  last. 

The  Thirty-Second  Begiment  has  several  times  been  under 
a  casual  fire,  but  has  never  been. engaged,  and  has  lost  no  men 
in  battle. 

When  the  regiment  left  Fort  Warren,  on  the  26th  of  May, 
1862,  it  consisted  of  six  companies,  numbering  602  officers  and 
enlisted  men.  Another  company  joined  the  regiment  on  the 
23d  of  July,  at  Harrison's  Landing,  Virginia,  and  the  remain- 
ing three  companies  joined  at  Minor's  Hill,  Virginia,  on  the  4th 
day  of  September  last.  The  four  new  companies  had  an  aggre- 
gate of  401  officers  and  enlisted  men.  Thirty-two  recruits 
l^Te  since  been  added.  The  total  number  of  officers  and 
enlisted  men  who  left  the  State  of  Massachusetts  in  this  regi- 
ment, or  have  since  joined  it,  is,  therefore,  1,035 ;  of  which 
number  5  commissioned  officers  have  resigned  on  account  of 
physical  disability,  and  50  enlisted  men  have  been  discharged ; 
44  have  deserted,  and  1  commissioned  officer  and  24  enlisted 
men  have  died.  The  aggregate  strength  of  the  command  is 
nov  911,  of  whom  24  officers  and  570  enlisted  men  are  present 
for  duty ;  6  enlisted  men  are  present  sick ;  7  officers  and  89 
enlisted  men  are  on  detached  service;  2  enlisted  men  are 
absent  with  leave,  20  without  leave,  and  3  commissioned 
officers  and  190  enlisted  men  are  absent  sick. 

This  official  report  is  only  up  to  the  10th  of  November; 
since  that  time  it  has  seen  arduous  duty,  and  has  followed  the

regiment  left  the  State  on  the  22d  of  August,  with  Colonel 
Wild  at  its  head,  with  his  wounded  arm  in  a  sling.  Lieutenant- 
Colonel  Carruth,also  of  the  First  Regiment,  had  been  wounded, 
of  whom  I  haTe  spoken  in  the  narrative  of  the  Yimt  Regiment. 

The  Adjutant  of  the  Thirty-Fifth,  Lieutenant  Wales,  also 
carried  his  arm  in  a  sling,  from  a  sprain  received  while  in 
perfonuance  of  his  duty  at  Lynnfield. 

What  the  regiment  has  done  during  its  comparatively  brief 
term  of  service,  the  modest  and  characteristic  report,  made  to 
your  Excellency  by  Colonel  Wild,  now  at  home,  suflTering  from 
the  lo68  of  bis  arm,  will  show,  and  which  I  copy  entire,  as

txteusiYe  tract  of  forest,  and  a  very  rough  ground  indeed. 
This  vas  done.  Afterwards  resisted  an  unexpected  attack 
ipoa  the  position  held  hj  our  brigade,  made  suddenlj  in  the 
dusk.  At  that  time  I  received  a  wound — losing  the  left  armi 
it  the  shoulder — from  which  I  am  still  suffering.  The  remain- 
der, therefore,  of  this  account  must  of  necessity  be  iucom* 
plete.  In  this  battle,  the  first  ordeal  of  the  Thirty-Fifth,  their 
behaTior  was  excellent.  Considering  their  total  inexperience, 
thdr  Tery  brief  period  of  mutual  acquaintance,  the  nature  of  the 
batde-ground,  their  want  of  confidence  in  their  weapons,  and 
eipeeially  their  utter  want  of  drill,  it  was  very  remarkable  that 
they  should  have  held  together  so  well  as  they  did.  The  lack 
of  drill  was  severely  felt,  as  we  had  had  no  opportunity  at  all 
ibr  battalion  drill,  and  that  of  companies  had  been  quite  lim- 
^.  They  were  ready  to  do  any  thing  they  were  ordered,  if 
they  only  knew  how  to  do  it. 

BatUe  of  Antietam^  September  17th. — Here  the  regiment 
bore  a  eonspieuous  part.  They  entered  the  fight  under  Lieut> 
oasat<}<donel  Sumner  Carruth,  who  was  soon  shot  through  the 
seek,  and  obliged  to  retire.  The  Migor  being  absent  upon 
ipeeial  duty,  the  command  devolved  upon  Captain  Wm.  S. 
King,  of  Company  E,  who  nobly  sustained  his  part,  until  seven 
wounds  forced  him  also  to  withdraw,  which  he  did,  bearing  off 
^  6(dors  to  a  place  of  safety,  for  by  that  time  the  whole  color- 
gasrd  were  disabled.  At  the  decisive  moment  of  this  great 
battle  it  became  necessary  to  take  and  hold  the  bridge  over  the 
intietam  Creek  and  its  approaches.  Our  regiment  supported 
fte  Kfky.Pirst  New  York ;  made  a  charge  ov«r  the  bridge ; 
drove  the  enemy  from  the  top  of  the  first  rising  ground, 
tnd  likewise  from  tlie  second,  never  stopping  till  themselves 
ocenpied  the  crest  of  the  second  hill, — which  position  they  held 
for  some  time,  though  subjected  to  slaughtering  cross  fires,  with 
t  steadiness  that  veterans  might  be  proud  of,  until  ordered  to 
retire  a  little  to  a  more  sheltered  spot.    Their  beharior  was

December  13tb. — Great  battle*  at  Fredericksburg.  On  this 
bloody  daj  our  regiment  fully  acted  up  to  its  high  reputation, 
so  early  acquired.  They  were  among  the  most  advanced  troops 
in  position,  and  exposed  to  a  deadly  fire  at  short  range.  Yet 
they  held  their  ground  after  their  ammunition  was  all  expended, 
and  did  not  retreat  until  their  whole  brigade  was  relieved  by 
fresh  troops,  when  they  retired  in  good  order,  under  the  lead 
of  Captain  Andrews,  of  Company  A,  Major  Sidney  Willard 
having  been  mortally  wounded  during  the  heat  of  the  conflict, 
while  cheering  on  the  men  with  the  utmost  gallantry.  Lieut- 
enant Hill,  of  Dedham,  was  also  killed,  while  at  the  head  of 
Company  K.    Our  loss  in  killed  and  wounded  was  about  sixty. 

On  the  withdrawal  of  the  whole  array  across  the  Rappahan- 
nock, the  Thirty-Fifth  was  the  last  regiment  but  one  to  leave 
Fredericksburg.  They  still  remain  encamped  near  that  city, 
under  command  of  Captain  Andrews — and  suffering  much, 
hke  the  rest  of  the  army,  from  cold  and  exposure. 

The  following  is  an  abstract  of  the  roster  of  the  regiment : — 

1  Major  killed  at  battle  of  Fredericksburg. 

2  Captains  promoted  Majors.

obstructed  bj  the  rebels.  On  the^llth  of  October  the  regiment 
left  camp  at  Pleasant  Valley  and  started  for  Frederick,  Mary- 
hod,  where  it  was  ordered  to  protect  the  place  from  any  attack 
bj  Staart*8  Cavalry.  The  regiment  arrived  here  the  next 
day  and  on  the  12th  left  Frederick  for  Point  of  Rocks,  where 
it  remained  until  the  15th  of  October,  when  it  returned  to  the 
camp  at  Pleasant  Valley.  It  left  Pleasant  Valley  October  26th 
and  crossed  the  Potomac  on  a  pontoon  bridge  at  Berlin,  Mary- 
land, and  arrived  the  same  day  at  Lovettsville,  Virginia,  after 
a  very  tedious  march,  as  it  rained  hard  all  day,  and  they 
encamped  at  night,  cold  and  wet.  The  regiment  left  Lovetts- 
Tille  October  29th,  for  Blackwell,  Virginia,  where  it  is  now 
stationed. 

The  regiment  has  not  been  engaged  in  any  battle  since  it 
left  the  State.  It  has  lost  but  one  man  by  sickness.  The  regi- 
ment has  marched  a  distance  of  189  miles.

For  the  narrative  of  th«  regiment  since  it  left  the  Common- 
wealth, I  am  indebted  to  Adjutant  Loring. 

Tlie  regiment  arrived  in  Baltimore  the  morning  of  Thursday, 
the  28th  of  September ;  was  marched  to  the  Union  Relief 
Booms,  where  dinner  was  served  to  the  men  ;  and  in  the  after- 
noon was  ordered  to  "  Camp  Belger,"  a  fine  site  north  of 
Baltimore,  a  mife  from  the  heart  of  the  city. 

September  9th,  it  was  ordered  to  take  a  position  on  the 
**  Liberty  Road,"  (a  turnpike  which  leads  straight  to  Frederick,) 
«t  a  bridge  eight  miles  from  the  city,  where  the  road  crosses  a 
stream-— Gwin's  Falls.  Owing  to  some  mistake  in  orders  from 
Geueral  Head-Quarters,  the  regiment  was  conducted  by  an 
*ide  sent  for  the  purpose,  some  six  miles  out  on  the  wrong 
^ ;  was  there  ordered  to  retrace  its  steps  and  to  march  to 
the  appointed  spot,  which  it  did  not  reach  till  about  ten,  P.  M.,

Perry,  General  George  Stoneman  assumed  command  of  all  the 
forces  in  the  vicinity,  and  relieved  Colonel  Davis  of  the  com- 
mand of  the  Tenth  Vermont,  and  the  battery,  and  Captain 
Yose's  Company  of  First  Rhode  Island  Cavalry,  which  had 
reported  to  him  for  duty. 

The  regiment  continued  to  guard  the  Potomac  until  the 
14th  of  October.  On  the  12th  of  October  the  regiment  was 
concentrated  at  Conrad's  Ferry  to  intercept  Stuart's  Cavalry, 
who  had  crossed  the  river  a  few  days  before,  but  they  had 
re-cro6sed  at  White's  Ford,  three  miles  above  Conrad's  Ferry, 
about  the  time  orders  were  received  to  march  from  Edwards' 
Ferry.  On  the  14th  of  October,  orders  were  received  to  march 
for  Seneca  Creek,  eight  miles  from  Edwards'  Ferry,  and  the 
same  afternoon  tliey  encamped  on  the  ground  occupied  by  the 
Second  Massachusetts  one  year  previous.  On  the  17th  of 
October,  Brigadier-General  Cuvier  Grover  assumed  command 
of  the  brigade,  which  at  present  is  composed  of  the  Thirty- 
Ninth  Massachusetts,  Tenth  Vermont,  Fourteenth  New  Hamp- 
shire, and  Twenty-Third  Maine;  Company  F,  First  Rhode 
Island  Cavalry,  and  one  section  of  Battery  D,  First  Pennsyl- 
Tania  Artillery,  are  temporarily  attached  to  the  brigade.  On 
the  20th  of  October,  by  order  of  General  Grover,  the  regiment 
moved  three  miles  towards  Washington,  to  Muddy  Branch, 
opposite  Lfock  No.  22,  on  the  Chesapeake  and  Ohio  Canal, 
where  it  remained  November  10th,  18t52.  The  daily  detail  for 
picket  guard  from  this  regiment  was  two  officers,  eight  non- 
commissioned officers,  and  ninety  men. 

On  the  31st  of  October,  the  regiment  was  mustered  for  pay- 
ment by  the  Colonel,  and  on  the  4th  of  November  were  reviewed 
and  inspected  by  General  Grover,  who  complimented  the  regi- 
ment on  the  proficijency  attained  in  discipline  and  drill. 

On  the  11th  of  November,  by  order  of  General  Heintzelman, 
Brigadier-General  Grover  relinquished  the  command  of  the 
Wgade  to  Colonel  Davis,  devolving  the  command  of  this 
regiment  upon   Lieutenant-Colonel    Pierson.     In    accordance

imTing  there  August  11th.  It  was  attached  to  the  division  of 
Oeaeral  Stevens,  and  soon  ordered  to  march,  with  a  detachment 
of  the  Ninth  Army  Corps,  to  the  reinforcement  of  the  army  of 
Yirginia.  It  left  Falmouth  August  14th,  and  took  up  a  position 
(Ml  the  lefl  of  General  Pope's  army,  seven  miles  south  of  Cul- 
pepper, August  17th.  On  the  retreat  to  tlie  Rappahannock  it 
VIS  detached  firom  the  division,  and  sent  to  guard  Bamett's 
Ford,  an  important  position,  which  it  held  from  August  20th  to 
the  23d,  almost  without  support.  At  this  time  the  right 
Boctioa  was  detached  from  the  battery,  and  was  engaged  in  a 
Kkirmidi  near  Sulphur  Springs,  supported  by  a  part  of  General 
Sgei's  Corps. 

The  battery  marched  to  Warrenton  August  23d,  and  thence 
to  Warrenton  Junction.  On  the  discovery  of  Jackson's  appear- 
ttce  on  our  flank  at  Manassas,  it  marched,  with  the  rest  of  the 
dimon,  in  pursuit  of  him.  It  was  engaged  in  the  battle  of 
Ball  Run,  August  30th,  and  at  the  end  of  the  action,  fell  back 
viA  the  army  to  Centreville,  without  the  loss  of  a  man  or  a 
gun.  Oil  the  let  of  September  it  took  part  in  the  battle  of 
ChtDtilly,  and  came  out  with  similar  good  fortune.  On  the 
2d,  it  encamped  near  Pond's  Mills,  only  one  mile  from  its 
pOTious  camp  at  the  Seminary.    On  the  5th  it  marched  to

u  shall  neyer  be  written  on  my  escutcheon  that  I  consented  for  one  moment 
to  those  national  disruptive  principles,  the  first  great  examplar  of  which  was 
the  Priaee  of  the  power  of  the  air." 

I  am,  very  respectfuUy, 

Silas  Caset,  Brigadier- General  Volunteers. 

In  the  foregoing  pages  I  have  given  brief  but  I  believe 
correct  narratives  of  the  services  of  our  three  years*  regiments 
tnd  companies  which  have  gone  from  Massachusetts  to  the  seat 
of  war.  Tliey  have  done  great  service.  They  have  endured 
'  many  hardships.  They  have  faced  death  on  many  battle-fields, 
extending  from  the  mountains  of  the  Blue  Bidge  to  the  far  off 
Delta  of  the  Mississippi.  There  have  been  no  battles,  no  great 
campaigns  during  this  rebellion,  from  Harper's  Perry  to  Vicks- 
burg, — from  Antietam  and  South  Mountain,  to  New  Orleans 
and  Baton  Rouge,  in  which  the  troops  from  the  old  Bay  State 
haTe  not  acted  a  brave  and  gallant  part.  These  battle-fields 
are  far  from  as.  Our  dead  lie  buried  in  strange  places,  where 
no  kind  hand  can  strew  their  graves  with  tokens  of  affection, 
and  no  pilgrim  relative  can  go  to  drop  a  tear  in  memory  of 
the  loved  and  lost.  But  the  dead  will  live  forever  in  the  true 
hearts  of  Massachusetts,  as  men  who  sacrificed  their  spotless 
lives  in  a  noble  cause.  And  our  men,  who  with  undaunted 
hearts  and  &ithful  energy  survive  this  war,  and  come  back 
again  to  their  pleasant  homes  on  the  hillsides  and  in  the  valleys, 
and  by  the  sea-shore  of  our  old  Commonwealth,  will  meet  the 
warm  welcome  of  generous  hearts,  and  the  God  blessing  of  a 
brave  and  loyal  people.

The  Tliird  Regiment  is  an  old  militia  organization.  It  served 
its  three  months'  term  at  Fortress  Monroe,  under  Colonel 
Wardrop,  now  commanding  the  Ninety-Ninth  New  York,  at 
Norfolk,  Ya.  After  its  return  to  Massachusetts,  it  was  mustered 
out  of  serrice,  and  assumed  its  place  as  part  of  the  militia  of 
Massachusetts. 

When  the  call  was  made  by  the  President  for  a  draft  of  nine 
months  men,  the  Third  Regiment  volunteered  at  once,  and  was 
sent  to  ^^  Gamp  Joe  Hooker,''  at  Lakeville,  where  it  was  soon 
recruited  to  the  maximum  standard.  The  first  company  went 
into  camp  on  the  16th  of  September,  1862  ;  the  tenth  company, 
September  22d.  On  the  8th  of  October  it  received  orders  to 
proceed  to  Newborn,  N.  C.  It  was  delayed  several  days  for 
vant  of  overcoats.  On  the  22d  of  October  it  embarked  at  Boston 
on  board  the  steamers  Merrimack  and  Mississippi,  and  sailed 
the  same  evening.  They  arrived  at  Beaufort,  N.  C,  October 
26th,  debarked  the  same  day,  and  reached  Newborn  that  evening 
by  railroad  (36  miles.)  They  went  into  camp  on  the  banks  of 
the  Neuse  River,  a  mile  outside  the  city,  where  the  regiment 
remabed  when  last  heard  from.  They  were  under  canvas,  but 
expected  soon  to  go  into  barracks. 

ColoDcl  Richmond  writes,  under  date  of  November  24th, 
that  two  companies  were  doing  picket  duty  at  Newport  Bar- 
racks, twenty-five  miles  distant.  Thirty  men  were  also  on 
picket  duty  at  Three  Points,  some  two  miles  from  the  camp.  On 
the  night  of  November  11th  the  regiment  was  under  arms,  in 
momentary  expectation  for  orders  to  march,  a  rebel  attack  being 
expected.

The  Fourth  Regiment  was  also  one  of  the  first  to  leare  Mas- 
s^usetts  upon  the  original  call  of  the  President  of  the  United 
States  for  tliree  months  men.  It  left  Boston  17th  of  April, 
1861,  under  command  of  Colonel  Abner  B.  Packard,  of  Quincy, 
for  Fortress  Monroe,  and  reached  its  destination  on  the  20th. 
It  served  out  its  time  of  service,  and  returned  home.  When 
the  call  vas  made  for  nine  months  men  in  August  last,  tlie 
Fourth  volunteered  again,  and  was  sent  to  "  Camp  Joe  Hooker," 
Lakeville,  where  it  remained  until  it  was  full.  It  was  then 
ordered,  December  17th,  1862,  to  join  General  Banks'  com- 
maod,  Department  of  the  Gulf.  It  went  from  here  to  New 
York,  and  from  thence  sailed  to  New  Orleans,  under  command 
of  Colonel  Walker,  who  had  served  in  the  regiment  during  its 
three  months'  service  at  Fortress  Monroe. 

Up  to  this  date  no  report  has  l?een  received  from  the  regi- 
ment. It  is  composed  of  the  very  best  material,  and  will  give  a 
good  account  of  itself  when  an  opportunity  occurs.

It  was  sent  to  "  Camp  Lander,"  Wenham,  where  it  recruited 
to  the  full  standard,  and  on  tlie  8d  of  October  received  orders 
to  report  to  Captain  McKim,  U.  S.  A.,  for  transportation,  and 
proceed  immediately  to  Newbern,  N.  C,  and  report  for  duty  to 
Hajor-Gencral  Foster.  It  left  Boston  in  transports,  and  arrived 
safely  at  Newbern. 

The  following,  taken  from  a  report  by  Colonel  Peirson,  dated 
Newbern,  January  1st,  1868,  gives  an  account  of  the  part  taken 
bjtbe  FifUi  Regiment  in  the  late  expedition  in  North  Carolina. 

We  formed  regimental  line  at  six,  A.  M.,  Thursday,  December 
11th,  forming  on  the  left  of  the  third  brigade,  Colonel  H.  C.  Lee. 
At  two,  P.  M.,  we  started  on  the  march,  having  the  second  post 
of  honor,  (the  extreme  left,)  marched  until  half-past  four,  A.  M., 
of  the  12th,  and  bivouacked  about  nine  miles  from  Newbern. 
At  sunrise  we  again  started  in  the  same  position*,  and  after  a 
hard  day's  march,  bivouacked  about  twenty  miles  from  New- 
bern. Sunrise  of  the  13th  saw  us  again  moving  in  the  same 
position;  arrived  at  the  "church,"  six  miles  from  Kinston, 
about  ten,  P.  M.  In  the  morning  we  were  ordered  to  throw 
out  pickets  on  the  different  roads,  and  to  guard  the  baggage 
train.  Companies  H,  (Captain  Drew,)  and  E,  (Captain  Kent,) 
were  posted  about  three  mil^s  from  our  head-quarters,  on  a 
cross  road  leading  to  Einston,  and  in  connection  with  a  com- 
pany of  cavalry,  held  about  600  of  the  enemy  at  bay,  and 
finally  drove  them  into  Einston,  and  joined  us  the  next  morn^ 
ing  there.  Company  C,  (Captain  Daniels,)  was  posted  on  the 
foad  leading  towards  Wilmington.  About  eleven,  P.  M.,  they 
saw  the  enemy's  cavalry  coming  up  the  road,  but  the  boys  were 
wide-awake,  and  a  few  shots  dispersed  the  rebel9.  Upon  exam- 
ination and  inquiry  the  next  morning,  it  was  found  that  there 
were  about  200  of  them,  undoubtedly  on  a  scouting  expedition. 
Companies  G,  (Captain  Grammer,)  and  F,  (Captain  Currier,) 
were  posted  on  the  main  road  to  Einston,  to  guard  the  bridge 
o?er  South-west  Creek.  Company  D,  (Lieutenant  Harden 
commanding,)  was  posted  to  the  rear,  thus  leaving  Companies 
B,  K,  and  I,  as  guard  for  the  baggage  train  ;  Company  A  being 
at  this  time  on  detached  service  at  Washington,  N.  C. 

Monday  morning,  the  16th,  we  were  ordered  to  march  again, 
8tiU  holding  the  same  position.  This  day  we  marched  about 
twenty-three  miles,  being  obliged  to  march  the  six  miles  from

the  ^^ church"  to  Einston  before  joining  the  main  column. 
Tuesday  found  us  still  on  the  left ;  but,  as  the  battle  at  White- 
hall was  concluding,  the  tliird  brigade  was  ordered  in  the 
advance.  In  passing  up  the  hill  opposite  that  place,  the 
enetnj's  bullets  were  still  flying  in  the  air,  but  we  bad  only  three 
wounded,  of  which  I  sent  you  an  account  by  last  mail,  ^uch  to 
our  relief  we  reached  our  camping-ground  about  half-past  five, 
P.  M.  The  next  morning  we  were  off  again,  the  third  brigade 
still  in  the  advance.  About  half-past  twelve,  P.  M.,  the  cannon 
in  advance  told  us  we  had  reached  the  field  of  action ;  and  so 
indeed  we  had.  We  were  drawn  up  in  line  on  the  extreme 
left.  Company  D  was  detached  and  sent  skirmishing,  and 
Company  H  was  sent  to  protect  the  party  destroying  the  rail- 
road. After  remaining  thus  for  about  an  hour,  our  two  com- 
panies were  ordered  in,  and  the  word  was  passed,  that  ^^  the 
object  of  the  expedition  "  was  accomplished,  and  orders  were, 
"back  to  Newborn."  "Tlireo  times  three"  went  up  as  we 
came  to  about-face,  and  the  retrograde  movement  began.  But 
the  echo  of  our  cheers  had  hardly  died  away,  befpre  we  heard 
traitor  shouts,  and  saw  tlie  rebel  flag  displayed  directly  in  our 
fear,  (that  was  tlien,)  and  towards  Ooldsboro'.  Captain  Mor- 
rison's Battery  immediately  wheeled  to  the  front,  and  we  were 
ordered  to  its  support.  Here  the  regiment  showed  the  pluck 
common  to  troops  from  the  Old  Bay  State.  Not  a  man 
flinched,  or  moved  an  inch  from  his  post.  Yet  this  was  their  • 
first  time  in  the  face  of  an  enemy.  On  the  rebels  came,  show- 
ing a  determination  to  charge  on  and  take  our  battery.  But 
Captain  Morrison's  guns  were  not  idle  ;  they  poured  grape  and 
canister  into  ihem,  mowing  them  down  by  scores,  and  driving 
them  back  with  great  slaughter.  But  the  rebels  showed  a 
spirit  worthy  of  a  better  tause :  they  tried  again  with  the  same 
result,  and  never  shall  we  forget  the  scenes  of  that  day.  It 
did  us  good  to  see  the  traitor  flag  fall  in  the  dust,  as  we  lay  there 
eager  for  the  charge ;  perfect  storms  of  shot  and  shell  passed 
over  our  heads ;  our  flag  was  twice  pierced  by  fragments  of 
shell,  and  yet,  strange  as  it  may  seem,  we  had  only  five  meu 
wounded  in  this  engagement.  We  were  denied  the  chance  of 
testing  our  strength  hand  to  hand  with  them,  still  we  were 
none  the  less  ready.  The  officers  and  men  promptly  obeje4 
all  the  orders  given  them.

After  a  severe  punishment  bad  been  inflicted  upon  the 
enemy,  they  broke  and  fled  into  the  woods  in  great  confusion, 
sad  we  were  again  ordered  to  resume  our  march  toward  New- 
bern.  In  so  doing  we  were  obliged  to  cross  a  brook  into  which 
the  enemy  had  lifted  a  water-gate,  thus  hoping  to  flood  us ;  but 
tbej  failed  in  this  project.  New  England  men  are  not  afraid 
of  water;  still  it  was  not  comfortable  to  wade  to  our  arm-pits, 
stand  an  hour  on  the  bank,  and  then  march  five  miles  to  camp. 
Nothing  more  of  peculiar  interest  happened  on  our  return 
march.  We  had  all  the  way  the  extreme  left,  or  rear  guard, 
vkich  placed  us  late  in  camp  every  night. 

We  reached  our  camp,  at  Newbem,  on  Sunday,  December 
21st,  at  half-past  two,  P.  M.,  happy  in  having  done  our  dutj, 
and  ready  at  all  times  to  respond  to  its  call. 

This  is  the  latest  information  I  have  from  the  regiment.

to  OTch  other  officer  as  may  be  designated  in  subsequent  orders.  You 
will  therefore  make  preparations  as  speedily  as  possible  for  your 
departure. 

The  Sixth  Regiment  was  the  first  to  leave  the  soil  of  Massachusetts 
in  April  1861,  to  march  to  the  defence  of  the  Capital,  to  maintain  the- 
authority  of  the  United  States.  It  furnished  the  first  martyrs  for  con- 
stitotiooal  liberty  in  this  rebellion.  It  went  forth  from  us  with  the  bles- 
rings  of  a  finee  people ;  it  came  back  to  us  honored  and  beloved,  with  its 
laorel  wreath,  and  its  martyr's  crown.  It  is  the  historic  regiment  of  the 
Massachusetts  Volunteer  Militia,  and  it  is  the  wish  of  His  Excellency 
that  it  shall  remain  so,  and  therefore  he  accords  to  it  the  honor  of  again 
leafing  tbe  column  of  the  militia  of  the  United  States  to  the  seat  of  war, 
to  help  finish  the  Vork  of  crushing  this  rebellion,  which  it  began  in 
Baltimore,  on  the  19th  of  April,  1861. 
Respectfully  yours, 

William  Schoulf.r,  Adjutant- GeneraL 

The  Sixth  Regiment  was  in  camp  at  Lowell,  to  recruit  to  the 
maximum.  The  camp  was  designated  ^'Camp  Henry  Wilson," 
in  honor  of  Hon.  Henry  Wilson,  U.  S.  Senator.  It  soon  was 
filled  to  the  full  standard,  and  in  obedience  to  its  orders,  pro- 
ceeded at  once  to  Washington.  It  was  the  first  of  the  nine 
months'  regiments  to  leave  the  State.  The  following  extract 
from  a  letter,  which  I  received  from  Colonel  FoUansbee,  will  be 
read  with  interest.    It  is  dated 

Suffolk,  Va.,  November  11,  1862. 
Nothing  has  transpired  since  we  lefl  Massachusetts  of  much  interest. 
During  our  journey  here  there  was  one  continued  ovation,  from  Boston 
to  Washington.  It  seemed  as  if  the  people  along  the  route  could  not  do 
enough  for  as.  We  left  Washington  the  13th  of  September,  on  the 
steamers  "John  A.  Warner"  and  "Swan,"  with  orders  to  report  to 
General  Dix,  at  Fortress  Monroe.  On  our  arrival  at  the  fort  we  were 
ordered  to  report  to  Brigadier-General  O.  S.  Ferry,  at  Suffolk.  We 
left  tbe  aatoe  day,  after  receiving  our  tents,  and  arrived  here  on  the  15ih 
day  of  September.  After  getting  our  camp  regulated,  details  were 
made  on  the  regiment  for  working  parties  of  from  two  to  four  hundred 
men  daily,  for  the  purpose  of  catting  timber,  building  forts,  digging  rifle 
pita,  &c  These  details  have  been  made  up  to  the  present  time.  How 
much  longer  they  are  to  continue  we  cannot  tell,  but  every  thing  indi- 
cates enough  to  do  at  present  The  health  of  the  regiment  has  been 
remarkably  good,  but  two  men  having  died.     We  have  now  a  most

The  Eighth  Regiment  was  a  militia  organization  in  the 
Second  Division,  and  served  with  distinction  under  Colonel 
Hioksy  in  the  three  months'  service.  When  the  call  was  made 
for  the  nine  months  regiments,  the  Eighth  was  among  the  first 
to  Tolunteer.  It  was  sent  to  "  Camp  Lander,"  in  Wenham, 
where  it  was  recruited  to  the  maximum  number.  It  received 
Biarehing  orders  November  7th,  to  proceed  by  transports  from 
Boston  to  Newbern,  N.  C,  to  report  for  duty  to  Major-General 
Foster.  As  soon  as  transportation  was  ready  it  broke  camp, 
came  to  Boston,  entered  on  board  the  transports,  and  sailed 
tiiat  night  for  Newbern,  which  port  it  reached  without  accident, 
and  there  it  remained  when  last  heard  from. 

The  Eighth  is  a  splendid  regiment,  and  is  well  officered, 
many  of  the  officers  having  been  distinguished  in  the  militia 
serviee,  and  during  the  three  months  term  of  service  in  1861. 

While  the  Report  was  going  through  the  press,  I  received  a 
letter  from  Colonel  Coffin,  from  which  the  following  is  an 
extract : — 

Head-Quarters  Eighth  Beoiment,  M.  V.  M.,  > 
Newbern,  N.  C,  February  4,  1863.     ) 
General, — It  was  my  intention  to  send  forward   with  the  monthly 
return  of  this  regiment  an  official  letter,  but  the  Adjutant  mailed   th# 
return  before  I  was  aware  of  his  intention.     I  therefore   take  the 
present  opportunity  for  doing  so.

B08t  of  our  dmrnrngp  was  receired     An  attempt  of  the  enemj  to  cap- 
ture us  at  OQ«  time  before  daylight  was  Buocessfulij  resisted  hj  our 
men.    Soon  after  dajlight  we  discovered  foar  rebel  gunboats  and  a  ram 
■iking  for  oar  fleet.    Thej  succeeded  in  capturing  the  ^  Harriet  Lane.** 
At  eight  o'ckx^  A.  M.,  a  flag  of  truce  was  raised  bj  the  enemy  on 
the  *^  Harriet  Lane,"  and  on  shore.     Flags  of  truce  were  then  raised  by 
the  sereral   gunboats,  and  finally  by  Colonel    Burrell  on   the  wharf. 
Coloiiel  Barrel]  not  having  any  information  as  to  the  reason  of  this  ces- 
tttioo  of  firings  then  ordered  me  to  go  on  board  the  gunboats  and  find 
oat  the  object  of  the  flags  of  truce,  and  also  to  get  the  gunboats  to  come 
op  to  the  wharf,  and  take  our  men  off,  the  enemy  being  too  strong  for 
u  to  oootend  against  on  8h<H*e.    I  got  oa  board  the  ^Owasco,*'  the 
^  Wtftfield  "  being  aground  sooie  three  miles  further  ofl*.     Capta'm  Law, 
of  tke  ^  Qlftoo,*'  had  gone  on  board  the  ^  Westfield,"  and  while  awaiting 
hij  retom  in  order  to  get  an  answer  to  my  request,  I  saw,  from  the  deck 
of  the  ^  Owasco,"  our  men  being  marched  off*  prisoners  by  the  enemy. 
Tkit  was  done  while  the  flags  of  truce  were  still  flying  at  all  points. 
On  CaptatB  Law's  return  he  informed  me  that  the  gxmboaU  would  pro- 
cmd  to  t$a  imtoMdialdy ;  so  finding  our  men  had  been  captured,  by 
s^vice  of  the    oaval  officers  I  renuuned  on  board  the  gunboat,  and 
proeeeded  to  New  Orleans  and  reported  in  person  to  Major-General 
Bulks. 

I  do  not  think  over  twenty  of  our  troops  were  wounded,  and  I  do  not 
know  diat  any  were  killed.  In  addition  to  the  three  companies  m  en- 
ticed, with  their  officers,  there  were  taken  prisoners  Colonel  L  S. 
Barrell,  Sargeon  A.  J.  Cummings,  Chaplain  George  J.  Sanger^  also 
Lieatenant  B.  &  Stowell,  of  Company  £. 

We  had  intrenching  tools  for  five  hundred  men«  some  thirty  days' 
coomiasary  sapplies,  with  three  months'  medical  stores,  and  about 
tweoty-five  thousand  rounds  of  ammanition,  all  of  which  were  lost,  as 
*ho,  I  regret  to  say,  were  both  of  our  regimental  colors.  The  force 
of  the  enemy  on  shore  was  not  less  than  three  thousand  troops,  with 
wme  twenty  pieces  of  artillery,  most  of  them  being  apparently  twelve- 
poondeis,  with  some  rifled  guns.  They  had  also  planted  on  the  eastern 
point  of  the  island  three  thirty-poander  rifled  Parrott  guns«  According 
to  their  own  account,  there  were  not  less  than  the  same  ntunber  of 
troops  on  their  various  gunboats.  I  know  nothing  of  the  loss  of  the 
»)emy,  but  judge  it  must  hare  been  large.  The  gunboat  ^  Westfield  " 
l^Dg  aground,  was  blown  up,  to  prevent  it^  falling  into  the  hands 
of  the  enemy ;  Conunodore  Benshaw,  with  four  of  his  chief  officers, 
and  dx  of  his  men,  being  blown  up  in  her. 

I  have  to  aay  that  every  thing  possible  was  done  by  our  men  that 
<^ld  be.    They  held  clear  the  wharf  on  which  we  were  situated  until

This  regiment  was  recruited  by  Colonel  Francis  L.  Lee, 
Major  of  the  Fourth  Battalion,  First  Brigade,  First  Division 
M.  y.  M.,  and  many  of  the  officers  were  members  of  that 
organization.  Nearly  the  whole  battalion  volunteered  in  a 
body,  and  were  ordered  to  '^  Camp  Meigs,"  Readville,  to  recruit 
to  a  regiment  Like  the  Twenty-Fourth  (three  years'  regiment) 
the  Fortj-Fourtb  was  familiarly  known  as  the  New  England 
Guard  Regiment.  On  the  2d  of  October  it  received  orders  to 
proceed  by  transports  from  Boston  to  Newbern,  N.  C,  and 
report  for  duty  to  Major-Gteneral  Foster,  (but  did  not  leave 
until  October  22d,)  where  it  arrived  without  any  accident,  and 
remains  there  at  the  present  time. 

This  regiment  took  part  in  the  expedition  from  Newbern  to 
Tarboro',  three  days  after  its  arrival.  It  had  been  mustered 
into  service  only  six  weeks  previous  to  its  receiving  orders  to 
proceed  on  this  expedition.  It  suffered  considerably  in  the 
long  and  rapid  marches,  and  exposure  to  snow  and  rain,  which 
the  men  bore  with  patience.  General  Foster  remarked  that  they 
were  the  gayest  of  all  the  troops,  and  greeted  him  with  cheers 
vhenever  he  came  in  sight.    The  regiment  was  engaged  in  the

wooded  bank,  fired  into  them  for  some  time.     They 
the  entire  satisfaction  of  their  colonel,  and  General 
said  they  behaved  as  well  as  men  could. 
In  the  various  skirmishes  on  their  ^

I  makd  the  following  extract  from  a 
from  Colonel  Lee,  dated  Newborn,  Nove 

"  On  the  20th  of  August  last,  the  regiment 
was  ordei-ed  to  proceed  to  *  Camp  Meigs,'  1 
remained  for  nearly  eight  weeks.  During  the

Dooa  the  eneinj,  whose  pickets  had  been  driven  io  when  bat  a  short 
dtstiDoe  from  Washington,  made  a  stand,  and  a  skirmish  ensued  which 
hsted  throogh  the  night.  Companies  H,  (Captain  Wm.  V.  Smithes,)  C, 
(Captain  Jacob  H.  Lombard^s,)  and  £1,  (Captain  S.  W.  Richardson's,)  of 
the  Fortj-Foarth,  Belger's  Rhode  Island  Battery,  and  a  section  of  the 
Sbode  Island  Marine  Artillery,  were  the  onlj  federal  troops  engaged. 
The  k»6  of  the  Forty-Fourth  was  two  killed  and  seven  wounded.  The 
coodoct  of  both  officers  and  men  was  excellent,  throughout  the  entire 
fkihnish,  particularly  that  of  Lieutenant  George  B.  Lombard,  of  Com- 
pany Q  who  displayed  much  coolness  and  courage.  The  expedition 
marebed  through  Williamston  and  Hamilton,  to  within  a  few  miles  of 
Tarboro',  and  back  through  the  same  towns  to  Plymouth,  where  trans- 
ports were  provided,  and  the  forces  returned  to  Newbem  by  water. 

I*  will  also  add,  that  Company  I,  (Captain  Kendall,)  behaved  with 
coolness  while  acting  as  a  reserve  on  the  evening  of  the  2d.  Also  Com- 
panies A,  (Captain  James  M.  Richardson,)  and  G,  (Captain  Charles 
HoDt,)  which  twice  were  on  detached  service  on  reconnoissance,  per- 
ibrmed  their  duty  admirably,  and  bore  the  long  and  fatiguing  marches  to 
which  they  were  subjected  exceedingly  well." 

Richard  Depeyster  gave  up  a  good  salary,  and  came  from 
New  York  to  Boston  to  enlist  in  the  Forty-Fourth  Regiment. 
He  was  rejected  by  the  surgeon  for  near-sightedness,  as  he  had 
been  before  by  the  surgeon  of  the  Twenty-Fourth  Massachu- 
setts. But  not  daunted  by  this  rejection,  he  made  a  bargain 
with  Captain  Smith,  of  Company  H,  to  go  as  volunteer  private, 
without  bounty,  without  pay,  providing  himself  with  clothes  and 
food.  In  selecting  a  few  of  the  most  trustworthy  men  to  act  as 
stretcher-bearers,  Colonel  Lee  included  Depeyster,  and  in  the 
discharge  of  this  duty,  at  the  fight  near  Williamston,  he  lost 
his  arm. 

There  have  been  thousands  of  patriots  in  our  army  ;  Depey- 
ster should  certainly  be  enrolled  among  them. 

In  the  Goldsboro*  expedition,  the  Forty-Fourth  Regiment  was 
under  fire  at  tlie  skirmish  nearKinston,  and  the  next  day  some 
fifteen  miles  beyond  that  town,  at  Whitehall  Bridge.  Colonel 
Lee  writes :  ^*  They  marched  across  a  high  field  parallel  to  the 
river  Neuse,  under  fire  of  artillery  ;  two  men  were  killed,  but 
the  men  did  not  falter  or  check,  but  filed  down  into  a  lower  field 
&nd  across  it,  under  fire  of  musketry,  and  took  position  behind  a 
rail  fence  on  the  river  bank ;  men  all  cool  and  obedient ;  found 
where  most  of  the  fire  came  from — a  little  entrenchment  to  the

PUBLIC  DOCUMENT— No.  8.  145 


Report  of  this  Board  for  1861,  we  adverted  to  some 
rhich  had  been  wrought  by  the  war,  in  the  business 
;,  and  it  becomes  necessary,  at  this  time,  to  explain 
ngth,  the  circumstances  which  have  produced  those 
nd  to  show  the  effect  of  the  war  on  the  business  of 
ionwealth,  especially  as  it  has  influenced  the  condition 
tions  of  the  banks. 

t)reaking  out  of  the  rebellion,  it  was  feared  that  the 
>{  the  country  would  be  entirely  prostrated,  and  the 
lich  make  their  gains  out  of  the  activity  of  trade, 
o  be  the  greatest  sufferers.  Neither  of  these  fears  have 
fied  by  the  event.  Seldom,  if  ever,  has  the  business 
husetts  been  more  active,  or  profitable,  than  during 
year.  The  war.  has  brought  into  activity  many 
il  employments  for  which  there  is  little  occasion  in 
lace ;  such,  for  example,  as  the  manufacture  of  arms 
emce,  camp  and  garrison  equipage,  saddlery  and 
amess,  and  military  clothing  and  accoutrements.  It 
greatly  stimulated  the  manufacture  of  boots  and 
i  of  woollen  goods;  while  the  subsistence  of  the 
furnished  a  constant  and  remunerative  market  for 
9  and  provisions.  There  is  hardly  a  branch  of 
ndustry  which  has  not  been  actively  employed.  The 
inufacture  alone  has  been  interrupted  by  the  loss 
w  material,  and  has  given  less  occupation  to  labor 
il ;  but  there  was  never  a  time  since  this  branch  of 
established  itself  in  New  England,  when  the  profits 
rom  it  have  been  so  considerable.  Dividends  have 
le    exceeding  any  former  precedent,  and    reserves 

>  the  surplus  funds  of  corporations,  to  insure  and 
[ividends  hereafter.  Advantage  has  been  taken  of  the 
>f  mills,  to  put  machinery  and  buildings  in  thorough 

>  that  whenever  the  supply  of  cotton  is  once  more 
f  the  manufacturers  of  Massachusetts  will  be  better 
than  ever  before  to  reap  all  the  advantages  incident 
ccasion.  Nor  has  the  condition  of  the  operatives, 
of  their  usual  employment,  been  materially  impaired,

146  BANE  COMHISSIONEBS*  REPORT.  [Oet 

So  great  has  been  the  draft  upon  the  male  population  to  fill  the 
army,  that  there  has  been  an  unusual  demand  for  men*8  labor  in 
other  directions ;  while  female  operatives  have  found  oceupatioa 
in  the  manufactories  of  clothing,  in  the  attendance  of  shops, 
and  in  domestic  service. 

The  railroads  of  the  Commonwealth  were  never  more  profit- 
ably employed,  and  they  have  made  larger  dividends,  and  their 
stocks  have  borne  a  higher  price,  than  at  any  former  period. 
The  vast  grain  crops  of  the  West  have  sought  a  market  on  the 
seaboard,  or  in  foreign  countries,  and  having  been  deprived  of 
their  usual  water  carriage  by  the  dosing  of  the  Missnappi, 
have  poured  through  the  canals,  and  over  the  railroads  leading 
to  New  York  and  Boston.  The  carriage  of  troops  and  armj 
supplies  has,  also,  furnished  a  considerable  businees,  even  to 
tlie  New  England  roads,  while  those  of  the  middle  and  border 
States,  leading  towards  the  seat  of  war,  have  been  completely 
occupied  with  the  new  traffic. 

The  loss  of  the  cotton  crop,  and  the  closing  of  the  seaports 
and  great  rivers  of  the  South  seemed  likely  to  destroy  the 
occupation  of  our  mercantile  marine ;  but  here,  again,  nev 
channels  of  business  have  arisen,  and  anxieties  have  been 
dispelled.  The  necessity  of  transporting  great  bodies  of  troops 
from  point  to  point  along  oar  seaboard,  and  of  fumidiing  them 
subsistence,  has  called  into  the  service  of  the  Oovemment,  s 
vast  fleet  of  transports,  for  the  hire  of  which  the  owners  have 
received  rates  of  compensation  greatly  exceeding  the  ordiDirj 
profits  of  commerce.  Every  steam  vessel,  capable  of  nsn- 
gating  either  the  ocean,  or  harbors  and  rivers,  has  been  thus 
employed,  and  many  more,  previously  regarded  as  worn  out, 
and  no  longer  seaworthy,  having  been  flimsily  repaired,  tod 
made  to  pass  through  a  hasty  or  corrupt  inspection,  have  gone 
out,  laden  with  valuable  property,  <»>  invaluable  liv^,  to  be 
wrecked  or  rescued,  as  the  chances  of  weather,  or  as  skilfol 
eeamauship  might  determine.  The  shipyards,  both  public  and 
private,  have  been  worked  to  their  utmost  capacity,  in  the 
construction  of  iron-clad  gunboats,  smd  other  vessels  of  war; 
while  nuichine  shops,  rolling  mills,  and  foimdries,  have  been 
equally  busy  in  building  their  engines,  rolling  their  armor 
plates,  and  casting  their  guns.    Nor  has  foreign  conuneroe

and  the  number  of  hands  employed  84,988,  of  whom  neariy 
two-thirds  were  females.  We  have  already  shown  that  the 
value  of  the  product  in  the  shoe  trade  exceeded  tlie  product  of 
the  cotton  manufacture,  by  nearly  ten  millions  of  dollars. 

Owing  to  the  improvements  in  machinery,  which  reduced 
the  cost  of  manufacture,  the  shoe  business  was  greatly  stima- 
lated  prior  to  1860,  and  the  market  overstocked.  Many  man- 
ufacturers were  made  bankrupt,  and  banks  which  held  their 
paper,  sustained  heavy  losses.  The  Southern  States  have  here- 
tofore furnished  a  very  large  market  for  boots  and  shoes,  and 
old  and  wealthy  houses  of  New  England  origin,  and  often  with 
Northern  affiliations,  had  become  established  in  the  chief  cities 
of  tlie  slave  States.  The  war  compelled  these  houses  to  suspend 
business,  and,  in  many  instances,  to  stop  payment,  and  thus,  not 
only  was  a  large  market  for  our  productions  taken  away,  bat 
new  and  heavy  losses  were  entailed  on  Northern  creditors. 
During  the  year  1861,  therefore,  the  shoe  trade  stagnated,  and 
large  numbers  of  workmen  enlisted  in  the  military  service. 
The  reduction  of  stocks,  and  diminution  of  production  sooa 
restored  the  trade  to  its  former  activity.  The  wants  of  the 
army  have  come  in  to  make  good  the  loss  of  the  Southein 
market,  and  the  Government  has  been  a  liberal,  and  sure,  if  not 
a  ready  paymaster.  Labor  has  been  in  great  demand,  wages 
have  risen,  and  the  trade  is  again  in  a  high  state  of  prosperity. 

We  are  glad,  also,  to  record  a  revival  of  the  paper  manufiu)- 
ture,  a  branch  of  business  which  has  languished  for  several 
years,  and  by  which  some  localities  have  severely  suffered. 

We  have  thus  glanced  at  the  principal  sources  of  produetioa 
in  the  Commonwealth ;  and  the  condition  of  each  of  them  has 
been  found  to  be  satisfactory.  Wealth  has  flowed  into  the 
State  in  no  stinted  measure,  despite  of  war  and  heavy  taxes. 
Either  in  the  military  service  of  their  country,  or  in  more 
peaceful  pursuits,  the  laboring  classes  have  found  full  em|doy- 
ment.  To  satisfy  ourselves  still  further  on  this  point,  inquiries 
have  been  presented  to  the  managers  of  the  leading  savings 
banks,  not  only  of  this  but  of  the  other  New  England  States, 
and  their  replies  establish  the  important  facts,  that  all  those  insti- 
tutions have  made  considerable  gains  during  the  ciirrent  year,

the  laboring  classes  have  had  full  employment  at  more 
age  wages,  and  that  in  do  single  locality,  not  even  in 

manufacturing  towns,  have  deposits  been  withdrawn 
rt,  to  an  unusual  degree.  The  gain  in  deposits  does 
represent  the  volume  of  money  seeking  such  deposito- 
n  all  the  larger  institutions  there  has  been  a  reluctance 
of  large  sums  of  money,  the  profitable  investment  of 
lS  proved  so  difficult;  and  great  numbers  of  such 
lave  been  refused. 

ve  thought  this  detailed  review  of  the  industrial  con- 
Massachusetts,  and  of  the  States  of  which  Boston  is  the 
ial  centre,  not  irrelevant  to  the  immediate  subject  of 
*t.  The  banks  of  the  Commonwealth  draw  their  living 
ndustry,  and  the  nature  of  their  business,  during  the 
f  cannot  better  be  explained  than  by  showing  how  that 
has  been  employed.  In  every  department  of  labor, 
^rnment  has  been  directly,  or  indirectly,  the  chief 

and  paymaster.  Though  its  payments  have  often 
itly  delayed,  to  the  serious  embarrassment  of  contrac- 
tile mode  of  conducting  its  business  has  so  far  reduced 
ice  of  mercantile  credit,  that  very  little  private  business 
I  been  made.  Vast  contracts  have  been  undertaken 
Lited  with  the  use  of  no  other  credit  than  such  as  is 
government  vouchers,  and  certificates  of  indebtedness. 
sence  of  business  paper,  the  banks  have  been  obliged 
a  large  proportion  of  their  capital  in  the  obligations  of 
rnment,  under  one  form  or  another,  and  such  private 
has  been  obtained,  has  been  discounted  at  rates  unu- 
r.  The  portion  of  the  bank  loan  which  is  on  call,  or 
id,  was  never  so  great,  and  much  of  this  has  been 

four  per  cent,  and  in  large  sums,  upon  government 
1  or  other  collaterals.  With  a  view  to  ascertaining  the 
Qvested  in  national  securities,  the  Commissioners  have 

a  special  return  from  the  banks  and  savings  institu- 
)wing  the  sums  so  held  by  them  on  the  80th  day  of 
)r  last.  The  amounts  held  as  collateral  security,  as

Thus  it  will  be  seen,  that  the  banks  of  diseoont  own  goTern- 
ment  securities  to  an  amount  little  short  of  forty  millions  of 
dollars,  or  about  three-fifths  of  their  capital.  Though  the 
greatest  portion  of  this  sum  is  held  by  the  Beaton  banks,  there 
are  several  institutions  in  the  interior  of  the  State  which  bold 
large  amounts,  and  were  among  the  earliest  to  ayow  thdr  confi- 
dence in  the  Government  by  investing  in  the  national  obligations.

162  BANK  COMMISSIONERS*  REPORT.  [Oct. 

Besides  the  demand  which  there  always  is  for  gold  for  foreigii 
payments,  for  distant  remittances,  and  for  meeting  customs 
duties,  there  is  a  perpetual  competition  going  on  between  the 
banks,  each  striving  to  enlarge  its  own  circalation,  and  to  dri?e 
home  that  of  its  rivals.  The  law  of  Massachusetts,  which  pro- 
hibits a  bank  from  paying  out  any  bills  except  its  own,  helps  on 
the  competition  ;  for,  the  moment  a  bill  is  deposited  in  any  btnk 
other  than  that  by  which  it  was  issued,  it  cannot  be  again  used 
as  currency,  till  it  has  travelled  home,  by  way  of  State  Street, 
and  had  its  convertibility  put  to  the  test  of  actual  redemptkm. 
When,  however,  specie  payments  are  suspended,  and  bills  are  do 
longer  redeemable  in  gold,  a  great  motive  for  sending  them 
home  is  withdrawn,  since,  if  in  good  credit,  they  are  as  valoaUe 
as  any  thing  which  can  be  got  in  exchange  for  them.  Men  hold 
them  and  hoard  them,  therefore,  precisely  as  Uiey  would  do  with 
specie,  and  the  volume  of  the  currency  becomes  greater,  pre- 
cisely as  its  current  grows  more  sluggish.  The  tendency  of  dik 
stagnant  money  to  depreciate  from  excess,  to  enhance  prices,  to 
stimulate  importations,  and  to  drive  gold  out  of  the  country, 
is  too  well  established  by  experience  in  this  and  other  countries 
to  be  seriously  questioned.*  Such  a  depreciation  is  now  attested 
by  the  high  price  of  gold,  and  of  all  merchandise  bought  with 
paper,  and  it  is  a  calamity  calculated  to  excite  Uie  greatest 
solicitude  of  our  people. 

The  deposits  have  been  large  during  the  whole  year,  and  in 
September,  attained  tlie  high  figure  of  $88,771,000.  In  the 
latter  months  of  1861,  they  were  increased  by  some  millions  of 
undrawn  credits  of  the  United  States,  growing  out  of  the 
$150,000,000  loans ;  and,  as  these  credits  were  withdrawn,  their 
place  was  filled  by  private  deposits,  caused  by  the  abundance  of 
money  waiting  investment.  The  stoppage  of  the  cotton  minn- 
factories  has,  without  doubt,  helped  to  swell  the  deposits  of

obligations.*  The  inconvertibility  of  bank  bills  has  made  then 
of  less  value  to  the  holders  of  them  than  tliey  purport  to  bet 
and  it  would  be  a  gross  violation  of  justice  if  the  banks  were 
allowed  to  take  advantage  of  tlieir  own  wrong,  and  sell  the  gold 
which  is  due  to  their  creditors,  at  a  premium  tlie  very  existence 
of  which  is  largely  owing  to  their  own  repudiation. 

The  specie  law  is,  also,  still  in  force,  and  it  requires  now,  no 
less  than  heretofore,  the  maintenance  of  an  habitual  reserre  of 
firteen  per  cent,  upon  the  circulation  and  deposits  of  the  ci^ 
banks.  If  it  has,  at  times,  occurred,  within  the  last  few  months, 
that  the  great  increase  of  deposits  has  brought  an  institutioB 
unexpectedly  below  the  line,  while  specie  could  only  be  boogiU 
at  a  heavy  premium,  it  is  the  obvious  duty  of  its  officers  to 
hold  all  the  gold  they  receive,  whether  for  interest  upon  pablie 
securities,  or  otherwise,  that  the  percentage  may  be  restored. 

The  foregoing  reference  to  the  specie  law,  leads  to  the  recitil 
of  certain  proceedings  instituted  by  tlie  Commissioners,  iB 
March  last,  against  the  Bank  of  Mutual  Redemption,  involTiog 
the  construction  of  that  statute,  as  well  as  of  other  sections 
of  the  banking  law. 

In  the  examination  of  one  of  the  Boston  banks,  it  was  a8ce^ 
tained,  that  the  Bank  of  Mutual  Redemption  was  in  the  habit 
of  borrowing  specie  from  day  to  day,  to  meet  its  current  obligir 
tions.  During  the  successive  days  occupied  by  the  examinatioD, 
such  loans  were  made,  amounting  in  the  aggregate  to  more 
than  one  hundred  thousand  dollars.  The  practice  of  borrowing 
specie,  whether  to  make  good  the  daily  balances  at  the  Clearing 
House,  or  to  maintain  tlie  reserve  required  by  law,  has  alwtjs 
been  regarded  by  the  Commissioners  as  highly  objectiooable, 
and  they  have  never  failed  to  enter  their  protest  against  it 
The  Reports  for  1860  and  1861  bear  ample  testimony  to  the 
truth  of  this  statement.  Tliey  have  always  considered  that  the 
purpose  of  the  law  as  to  specie  reserves  was  defeated  by  borrow- 
ing,—  that  purpose  being  to  require  a  bank  to  have  wiiki* 
itself y  and  of  Us  otvn  property y  certain  metallic  resources  as  a

purely  private  association,  not  subject  to  their  superrision ;  but 
if  the  method  of  conducting  its  business  was  at  variance  with 
the  principles  of  sound  banking,  and  especially  if  it  led  to  the 
infringement  of  any  of  the  banking  laws,  it  was,  obviously,  the 
duty  of  the  Commissioners  to  interfere.  The  loan  of  specie 
first  met  with  in  the  examination  of  the  bank  in  question,  did 
violate  an  important  provision  of  law,  namely,  the  sixty-seventh 
section  of  the  statute,  which  forbids  a  bank,  under  heavy  penal- 
ties, to  ^^  loan  or  issue  any  of  its  notes  or  bills,  with  an  agree- 
ment or  understanding  that  such  notes  or  bills  shall  not  be  jmt 
into  immediatey  unrestricted  circulation^  or  that  they  shall  not  be 
returned  to  the  bank  within  a  limited  time.^^  This  loan  was  for 
ff40,000,  upon  security  of  a  package  of  bills  (bearing  the  marb 
of  having  been  often  used  before  for  the  same  purpose),  which 
wore  to  be  withheld  from  circulation  for  one  day  at  least,  and, 
while  so  withheld,  interest  was  to  be  paid  upon  the  loan. 

About  the  same  time,  the  Commissioners  found,  in  another 
bank,  evidence  of  loans  to  the  Mutual  Redemption  Bank,  of 
New  York  funds  (then  superabundant  in  Boston  and  at  a  dis- 
count,) also  upon  a  pledge  of  its  bills,  which  were  to  be  with- 
held from  circulation  three  days.  This  transaction  not  only 
violated  the  statute  above  mentioned,  but  appeared  to  be  othe^ 
wise  illegitimate.  From  the  nature  of  its  business,  the  Mutual 
Redemption  Bank  should  naturally  receive  large  amounts  of 
New  York  funds  from  its  country  correspondents,  and  would 
therefore  seek  to  part  with,  rather  than  to  buy  them.  It  is  a 
well  known  fact,  also,  that,  at  this  very  period,  it  was  refusing 
to  receive  New  York  funds  at  par  from  its  correspondents  in 
the  western  part  of  the  Commonwealth,  and  in  Connecticut;  a 
refusal  which  led  to  the  withdrawal  of  their  accounts  by  some 
of  them,  and  to  the  great  embarrassment  of  all.  The  only 
inference  which  the  Commissioners  could  draw  from  its  bor- 
rowing these  funds,  was  that  the  bank  was  discounting  largely 
for  exchange,  and  charging  a  premium  for  funds  which  it  pur- 
chased at  a  discount,  thereby  violating  the  usury  laws.  Another 
irregularity  in  all  these  loans,  was  that  they  were  payable  at  a 
time  certain,  which  was  clearly  contrary  to  the  sixty-third 
section. 

An  interview  was  had  with  the  president  of  the  Mutual 
Redemption   Bank,  in   which    some  of   the    graver   matters

obligations  to  other  banks,  and  its  nnprecedented  loan,  it  wu 
important  that  all  tlie  specie  required  to  be  kept  bj  hwj 
should  be  its  own,  and  should  be  sacredly  kept.  The  constmc- 
tion  of  the  specie  law  upon  which  the  bank  professed  to  act, 
was  that  only  a  weekly  average  of  specie  was  required,  and  not 
an  habitual^  daUy  holding.  Although  the  statute  nakedlf 
declares  that  ^^  every  bank  shall  keep  an  amount  of  specie  equal 
to  fifteen  per  cent,  upon  its  liability  for  circulation  and 
deposits,"  it  was  contended  that  this  requirement  is  qualified 
by  the  words  which  follow,  namely :  "  and  when  by  the  returns 
required  by  sections  ninety-three  and  ninety-four,  it  a|q)ean 
that  the  weekly  or  monthly  average  of  specie  required  tfierebj 
to  be  returned,  is  less  than  that  amount,  such  bank  shall  make 
no  new  loans  until  its  specie  is  restored  to  suck  amount**  The 
Commissioners,  on  the  other  hand,  contended,  that  the  onl/ 
construction  which  could  carry  into  eflfbct  the  purpose  of  the 
law  declared  in  its  original  title,  namely,  ^  to  increase  the 
amount  of  specie  in  the  Common  weal  th,**  was  one  which 
required  the  bank  to  maintain  an  habitual^  daily  reserve  d 
fifteen  per  cent.,  a  construction  which  does  not  conflict  with  the 
subsequent  words,  they  having  reference  only  to  the  mode  by 
which  the  bank  directors  and  the  public  are  to  know  whether 
the  law  has  been  complied  with.  The  returns  of  a  week's 
or  month^s  business  cannot  show  any  thing  more  than  an 
average,  and  those  returns  were  not  required  as  a  part  of  tte 
specie  law,  but  were  already  made  under  a  law  of  some  yean' 
standing. 

The  opinion  of  the  Court,  as  pronounced  by  the  Chief 
Justice,  fully  sustains  the  views  entertained  by  the  Commis- 
sioners upon  this  law,  as  well  as  upon  the  meaning  of  the 
sixty-seventh  section.  With  respect  to  the  power  of  the  bank 
to  borrow  money,  the  Court  admit  that  it  does  exist,  contrary 
to  the  opinion  of  the  Attorney-General  before  cited,  and  they 
refer  to  the  twenty-fifth  section,  which  provides  that  "  the  debts 
of  a  bank  shall  not  at  any  time  exceed  twice  the  amount  of  its 
capital  actually  paid  in,'*  as  implying  the  right  to  become 
indebted  in  this  manner ;  they,  however,  decide  that  such  debts 
cannot  be  on  a  time  limited,  under  the  sixty-third  section. 

As  to  its  main  allegations,  therefore,  that  the  specie  law  bad 
been  violated,  that  money  had  been  borrowed  on  time,  and

by  a  desire  to  arrest  similar  illegal  practices,  whererer  thej 
might  occur,  hj  applying  to  them,  when  discoTcred,  tbe 
stringeut  correctives  which  the  law  affords. 

Cousiderable  trouble  has  always  arisen  in  ezaminiDg  the 
unsigned  bill  account  of  banks.  It  is  an  account  of  greit 
importance,  and  should  be  kept  with  the  utmost  strictness,  to 
preclude  the  possibility  of  fraud  or  loss.  Although  a  grett 
improvement  has  taken  place  within  a  few  years  in  the  manner 
in  which  the  account  is  kept,  there  is  room  for  improvement 
still.  The  chief  confusion  arises  from  the  state  of  accounts 
between  the  banks  and  the  engraver,  whose  vouchers  do  not 
always  accompany,  and  sometimes,  on  the  other  hand,  precede, 
the  transmission  of  the  bills  themselves.  To  remedy  this,  ve 
would  recommend  the  passage  of  a  law  requiring  cashiers  to 
notify  the  Bank  Commissioners  of  the  receipt  of  every  package 
of  bills  from  the  engraver,  accompanied  by  evidence  that  the 
bills  had  been  printed  on  the  proper  authority  of  the  directors, 
and  with  a  certificate  of  the  engraver,  or  printer,  as  to  the 
amount  delivered. 

It  is  probable  that  further  legislation  may  be  asked  for  with 
reference  to  the  purchase  and  holding  of  public  stocks.  Tbe 
law  of  last  year  permitted  stocks  taken  directly  from  the 
government  to  be  held  in  excess  of  the  existing  limit  of 
discounts.  Tliis  privilege  has  been  largely  availed  of,  and  has 
enabled  banks  to  make  a  profitable  use  of  their  overflowing 
deposits.  Owing  to  the  mode  in  which  the  government  loins 
were  first  distributed,  through  a  limited  number  of  associated 
banks,  a  liberal  construction  has  been  put  upon  the  require- 
ment to  take  such  stocks  directly  from  the  government,  and  the 
first  subscribers  have,  not  improperly,  been  regarded  as  tbe 
agents  of  the  government  to  effect  their  distribution.  Bat 
besides  the  amounts  thus  taken  from  the  government  itself, 
large  amounts  have  been  bought  in  the  market,  and  at  times 
at  prices  below  the  par  value ;  and  the  question  has  arisen, 
whether,  in  so  buying,  a  bank  violates  the  usury  laws.  Tbe 
Commissioners  in  reply  to  frequent  inquiries  on  this  point, 
have  laid  down  the  rule  that  a  bank  may  buy  for  the  bona  fide 
purpose  of  investment,  any  of  the  public  stocks  of  the  United 
States,  or  of  Massachusetts,  at  the  market  price,  and  they  bare 
not  objected  to  similar  purchases  of  the  other  State  stocb  of

and.  There  is,  however,  a  difficulty  in  making  any

which  may  be  so  received  in  a  single  year — ^the  latter  restric- 
tion being  in  conformity  with  the  English  law  upon  the  subject 
We  would  also  recommend  that  the  list  of  authorized  State 
and  municipal  securities  be  enlarged. 

The  legislature  of  1862  passed  a  law  taxing  the  deposits  in 
savings  banks,  one-half  of  one  per  cent  per  annum,  (1862, 
chapter  224,  sect.  4.)  Doubts  being  entertained  as  to  the 
constitutionality  of  this  tax,  the  question  was  brought  before 
the  Supreme  Court  by  the  Boston  Five  Cents  Savings  Bank, 
acting  in  concert  with  other  institutions,  and  after  full  and 
learned  arguments,  the  court  decided  in  favor  of  the  constitu* 
tionality  of  the  tax. 

In  closing  this  Report,  we  would  say  that  the  date  at  which  it 
is  now  required  by  law  to  be  made  and  presented,  is  in  many 
respects  inconvenient,  and  we  recommend  that  it  be  changed 
from  October  15  to  such  time  in  December  as  shall  enable  it 
to  be  laid  before  the  legislature,  in  a  printed  form,  at  the  open- 
ing of  the  session.  This  will  give  the  Commissioners  the 
benefit  of  inspecting  the  annual  returns  made  by  banks  and 
savings  institutions,  to  the  Secretary  of  the  Commonwealth,  on 
the  call  of  the  Governor,  and  will  make  the  statistics  published 
cover  nearly  the  whole  of  each  current  year,  instead  of  an 
arbitrary  period  of  twelve  months,  as  is  now  the  case.  It 
would  also  enable  the  Commissioners  to  prepare  their  Report  in 
the  interval  which  naturally  occurs,  after  completing  the  exam- 
ination of  the  country  banks,  in  the  autumn,  and  before  begin- 
ning that  of  Boston  institutions,  in  the  winter  monUis.

retarn  every  Monday  of  the  average ;  3.  If,  opoa  this  retarn,  it  appears 
that  the  weekly  average  falls  below  fifteen  per  cent^  the  bank  is  to 
abstain  from  further  discounts  until  the  average  is  raised  to  that  amount 
The  first  member  does  not  provide  in  terms  that  the  bank  shall  keep 
this  amount  constantly  on  hand ;  but  the  reasonable  interpretatioo  is, 
that  the  amount  shall  be  so  kept  on  hand  as  explained,  qualified  and 
limited,  if  limitation  is  necessary,  by  the  other  two. 

The  apparent  generality  of  the  first  proposition  b  apparent  only.  If 
the  legislature  had  intended  to  require  this  amount  to  be  constantly  kept 
on  hand,  it  would  have  been  easy  to  say  so.     The  omission  is  significant 

Again  ;  no  consideration  of  public  policy  shall  impel  us  to  assume  that 
the  legislature  have  commanded  the  banks  to  do  aa  impossible  thing; 
and  the  assumption  of  the  petitioners  involves  an  impossibility.  It  ii 
impossible  to  know,  as  a  matter  of  knowledge,  whether  the  amoont  has 
fallen  below  fifteen  per  cent  A  bank  is  engaged  in  business,  involving 
transactions  of  domestic  and  foreign  exchange ;  and  a  modification  of 
balances  occurs  in  the  course  of  events,  of  which  it  is  impossible  for  its 
ofiieers  to  have  actual  knowledge  as  the  events  occur.  The  knowledge 
comes  by  mail,  perhaps  a  fortnight  after. 

Again ;  independently  of  the  means  of  knowledge,  it  may  be  a  questioii 
of  physical  possibility.  Assume  that  on  an  examination,  upon  a  gives 
day,  it  is  found  that  there  is  on  hand  an  amount  of  specie  sufficient  for 
its  probable  wants ;  but,  by  unexpected  payment  to  it  of  debts  in  checks, 
and  by  unexpected  deposits,  which  it  must  receive  or  stop  business,  the 
proportion  of  specie  may  be  subject  to  diminution  which  the  bank  has  no 
means  of  preventing,  even  if  it  has  the  means  of  knowing.  The  legis* 
lature  have  commanded  it  to  know  this  weekly,  and  not  oflener. 

What  did  the  legislature  mean  by  "  average  ?  "  The  restrictive  con- 
sequences are  based  strictly  on  an  average.  ^  Average "  implies  the 
summation  of  a  succession  of  items.  If  the  intent  were  to  require  this 
amount  to  be  kept  constantly  on  hand,  there  is  no  mathematical  posn- 
bility  of  a  question  of  average.  If  the  legislature  had  meant  coostantljt 
they  would  have  said  that,  if  it  should  appear  that  at  any  time  a  bank 
*  had  less  than  fifteen  per  cent,  on  hand,  the  prescribed  consequences 
should  follow.  "  Average "  implies  that,  at  some  time,  there  shall  be 
sums  below  the  average.  If  the  amount  is  always  at  one  point,  there  is 
no  question  of  average. 

2.  In  reference  to  the  next  charge,  it  is  submitted  that  it  is  lawful  for 
a  bank  in  this  Commonwealth  to  be  indebted  to  another  bank,  eidier  on 
time,  without  interest ;  or  on  time,  with  interest ;  or  with  interest,  bot 
jjot  on  time.     Faneuil  Hall  Bank  v.  Bank  of  Brighton^  16  Gray.

something,  a  fiiilure  to  comply  with  which  shall  not  be  attended  with 
judicial  consequences.    This  statute  maj  be  so  interpreted. 

FotUvy  A.  G.,  for  the  Commonwealth.  1.  The  fidlore  to  keep  oi 
hand  the  required  amount  of  specie  was  not  in  consequence  of  toy 
special  drain  on  the  resources  of  the  bank^  or  of  an  unusual  demand  for 
specie,  but  in  the  ordinary  course  of  its  business,  as  a  part  of  the  fjstem 
according  to  which  its  affairs  were  administered ;  because,  in  the  woids 
of  its  president,  **  the  object  was  to  haye  as  little  dead  capital  as  possible." 
It  may  be  that  an  invariable  keeping  on  hand  of  a  specified  amoant  of 
specie  is  hardly  practicable ;  but  an  habitual  keeping  of  it  is  practictble. 

The  enactment  was  passed  in  the  spring  of  1858,  in  oonsequenee  of 
the  financial  disasters  which  had  recently  overwhelmed  the  coontiy,  asd 
for  the  purpose  of  requiring  eaph  incorporated  bank  in  Massadiosetts  to 
give  to  the  public  in  future  a  sounder  currency,  resting  on  the  basis  of  a 
stronger  specie  reserve.  All  the  banks  in  the  United  States,  except 
those  of  New  Orleans  and  one  in  New  York,  had  become  insolvent  bj 
the  suspension  of  specie  payments  in  the  fall  of  1857.  The  banb  of 
New  Orleans  were  preserved  by  their  obedience  to  a  statute  of  Louis- 
iana, requiring  them  to  keep  gold  or  silver  to  the  amount  of  <Hie4biid  of 
their  immediate  liabilities.  Bevised  StattUes  of  LouttianOj  Banks,  sec- 
tion 2G.  The  same  proportion  had  for  many  years  been  regarded  by 
the  Bank  of  England  to  be  indispensable  to  its  security. 

The  soundest  bankers,  the  wisest  political  economists,  and  the  moEt 
experienced  legislators  concurred  in  recommending  the  adoptioo  of 
measures  compelling  each  bank  to  hold  at  all  times  not  less  tban  a 
certain  fixed  proportion  of  coin  to  its  liabilities.  The  adoption  of  tbe 
view  taken  by  the  respondents  of  this  statute  woukl  defeat  its  purposes; 
and  its  language  will  not  admit  of  such  a  construction.  The  word 
^  keep  "  has  a  definite  meaning ;  and  to  kive  a  certain  average  is  not  the 
same  thing  as  to  keep  a  certain  amount.  The  statute  providing  for  a 
return  of  the  weekly  average  was  already  in  existence  when  the  statute 
providing  for  the  keeping  of  a  certain  amount  of  specie  was  pas^ 
Statute  1854,  chapter  807.  The  duty  imposed  is,  to  keep  on  bands 
certain  proportion  of  coin.  The  weekly  or  monthly  return  enables  tbe 
public  to  judge  whether  this  duty  has  been  performed. 

It  is  objected  that  the  legislature  did  not  use  the  word  "constantly. 
If  that  word  had  been  used,  it  would  have  furnished  ground  for  an  argu- 
ment of  physical  impossibility.     As  the  statute  now  stands,  it  means  that 
every  bank  shall  so  arrange  its  business  as  habitually  to  have  on  band 
this  amount,  and  promptly  to  supply  any  deficiency. 

The  injunction  is  authorized  by  General  Statutes  chapter  57,  section 
7.  The  prohibition  against  loans  until  the  amoant  of  specie  is  restored 
to  fifteen  per  cent,  is  an  additional  restriction,  but  does  not  exempt  ft

expedient  and  necessary  that  thej  shoald  be  subjected  to  a  careful  8ape^ 
vision,  and  that  anj  irregularity  or  illegality  in  their  mode  of  coDdocttng 
business  should  be  promptly  checked  and  prevented. 

The  allegations  in  the  information  before  us,  on  which  M  bank  coo- 
misitioners  now  seek  to  restrain  the  actions  of  the  defendants,  are  three. 
The  first  and  roost  prominent  one  is,  that  the  officers  of  the  oorporatioB 
liave  violated  the  provision  of  General  Statutes,  chapter  57,  sectkm  19, 
in  failing  to  keep  in  the  bank  an  amount  of  specie,  equal  to  fifteen  per 
cent,  of  its  liability  for  circulation  and  deposits.  This  allegation  u  sop- 
ported  by  proof  that  from  October  8  to  November  16,  1861,  oo  seven 
different  days,  the  specie  in  the  bank  fell  below  the  required  amount  of 
fifteen  per  cent,  so  that  on  tliose  days  the  ansount  varied  from  aboot  fbor 
per  cent,  to  a  little  over  thirteen  per  cent ;  on  one  day  falling  as  low  is 
four,  and  on  another  day  only  to  about  thirteen  per  cent  of  the  lisbilitj 
for  circulation  and  deposits.  It  is  contended  on  the  part  of  the  defend- 
ants that  this  proof  of  the  allegations  contained  in  the  information  sbovs 
no  infraction  of  the  law ;  that  the  statute  does  aot  require  tnecorpontioii 
to  keep  on  hand  a  daily  or  constant  reserve  of  specie  of  any  specified 
amount;  that  the  requisitions  of  the  statute  are  fully  complied  with  if  it 
appears  that  the  bank  has  had  a  weekly  average  of  specie  equivalent  to 
fifteen  per  cent,  of  the  amount  of  its  liability  for  circulation  and  deposits; 
that  it  is  wholly  immaterial  to  inquire  whether  on  any  specific  daj  or 
days  in  the  course  of  a  week  the  specie  in  the  bank  has  fallen  bebw  (be 
given  standard,  if  it  is  shown  by  the  weekly  returns,  which  the  btDk  is 
required  to  make  in  pursuance  of  the  provisions  contained  in  Genenil 
Statutes,  chapter  57,  sections  93,  94,  that  the  average  of  specie  on  htnd 
during  the  previous  week  has  been  equal  to  the  percentage  required  bj 
law.  It  is  on  this  view  of  the  meaning  of  the  statute  that  the  defendants 
rest  their  defence  to  the  first  allegation  in  the  information.  They  do  not 
contend  that  their  omission  to  have  on  hand  the  amount  of  specie 
designated  in  the  statute  has  been  the  result  of  accidental  circumstmcest 
or  has  arisen  from  any  unforeseen  exigency  or  unexpected  Jemindon 
the  resources  of  the  bank.  On  the  contrary,  they  insist  that  it  is  the 
legitimate  result  of  a  mode  of  conducting  their  business  which  docs  not 
in  any  respect  contravene  the  statute  regulating  the  specie  reseire of  tbe 
bank. 

From  this  statement  of  the  question  at  issue  between  the  parties  nnder 
the  first  allegation  in  the  information,  it  is  manifest,  that  the  difference 
between  the  constniction  put  on  the  statute  by  the  defendants,  tnd  thit 
on  which  the  commissioners  rely,  is  wide  and  essential  It  isidiK^ 
ence  which  does  not  touch  merely  the  form  of  doing  business,  or  the 
mode  in  which  a  specific  result  is  to  be  attained ;  but  it  goes  directly 
to  th^  substantial  principle  on  which  the  afllkirs  of  a  bank  are  to  M

canon  of  interpretation  will  warrant  ns  in  oonstming  this  dtnee  is 
intended  to  modify  and  essentially  change  the  preyioos  clearlj  expressed 
requisition  of  the  statute.  It  is  difficult  to  belicTe  that  the  kgisktnre 
would  have  enacted  an  explicit  and  unambiguous  mandate  bj  wfaidi 
banks  were  required  to  keep  a  specific  amount  of  specie  on  band,  if  tbej 
intended  only  to  require  that  by  their  weekly  or  monthly  returns  tliere 
should  appear  to  be  a  certain  average  of  specie  in  each  bank.  The 
requisitions  are  certainly  essentially  different  from  each  other.  If  the 
latter  was  in  contemplation  by  the  framers  of  the  statute,  it  wouki  have 
been  ea^y  to  express  it  in  direct  and  unmistakable  terms,  without  resort* 
ing  to  an  obscure  circumlocution,  which  leaves  their  meaning  in  great 
doubt  and  uncertainty.  But  it  seems  to  us  that  this  latter  fMrovisioD  was 
inserted  with  no  design  to  alter  the  previously  declared  rule  regulating  the 
Fpecie  reserve.  It  had  a  different  object.  It  placed  a  direct  prohibitioa 
on  the  officers  of  the  bank,  restraining  them  from  making  loans  and  dis- 
counts until  the  deficiency  of  specie  was  made  up.  Its  purpose  was  to 
provide  a  means  by  which  to  enforce  the  rule  of  keeping  tUb  specie  op 
to  the  prescribed  limit ;  not  to  modify  or  alter  iL  Such  a  proviskm  ute 
the  more  necessary,  because  the  actual  condition  of  the  bank  as  to  specie 
might  not  be  known  to  directors,  by  whom  loans  or  discounts  are  osnallj 
made,  unless  it  was  required  of  tliem  to  ascertain  it,  by  examining  the 
returns  of  their  president  or  cashier,  before  extending  the  liability  of  the 
bank  by  additional  loans.  But  all  doubt  concerning  the  meaning  of  this 
clause  is  put  at  rest  by  a  consideration  of  the  extent  of  the  prohibitioB 
restraining  discounts.  It  is  not  limited  to  a  time  when  the  bank  is  ia 
such  condition  that  its  weekly  or  monthly  average  of  specie  will  reach  to 
the  requisite  amount.  This  would  be  the  limit,  if  only  an  average  of 
specie  was  required.  But  it  extends  until  "the  amount  of  specie  shall 
be  restored  to  the  proportion  of  fifteen  per  centum  of  its  aggregate 
liability  for  circulation  and  deposits."  This  is  the  express  language  of 
Statute  I808,  chapter  69,  section  1,  from  which  the  provision  in  General 
Statutes,  chapter  57,  section  19  is  taken.  This  clearly  shows  that  the 
normal  and  legal  condition  of  a  bank,  which  the  statute  was  designed  to 
secure  and  preserve,  and  to  which  it  is  to  be  restored  in  case  of  defi- 
ciency, is,  that  it  shall  have  on  hand  a  reserve  of  specie  equal  to  the 
amount  designated  in  the  statute. 

Nor  are  we  able  to  see  that  any  other  construction  of  the  language  of 
the  statute  would  carry  out  the  object  which  the  legislature  intended  to 
accomplish  by  these  provisions.  The  title  of  the  original  statute  is,  *^  An 
Act  to  increase  the  amount  of  Specie  in  the  Commonwealth."  This 
purpose  could  be  effected  only  by  adopting  some  measure  which  should 
compel  banking  corporations  to  hold  in  their  possession  and  control  a 
constant  specie  reserve,  and  thus  to  carry  into  practical  <^)eration  the

that  their  omission  to  have  this  amount  of  specie  in  their  keeping,  oo 
the  days  when  it  is  shown  to  hare  fallen  below  the  given  standard,  wis 
the  result  of  any  unexpected  demand  on  them  by  tlieir  creditors;  bat, 
on  the  contrary,  that  it  was  caused  by  a  course  of  business  condocted 
with  a  view  to  keep  only  a  weekly  average  of  specie  to  the  tmooftt 
designated  in  the  statute,  it  follows  that  they  have  violated  the  statute, 
and  on  this  point  the  allegations  in  the  information  are  sustained. 

The  i^iemaining  allegations  in  the  information,  which  are  now  insisted 
on,  may  be  briefly  disposed  of.  The  right  of  a  bank  to  borrow  money 
from  another  bank  is  nowhere  expressly  prohibited.  On  the  contrarj, 
the  right  to  do  so  would  seem  to  be  recognized  in  General  Statutes, 
chapter  57,  section  26,  by  which  it  is  expressly  provided  that  debts  doe 
from  one  bank  to  another,  including  bills  of  the  bank  indebted,  shall  not 
be  considered  as  within  the  prohibition  of  section  25,  which  limits  the 
indebtedness  of  a  bank  to  twice  the  amount  of  its  capital  stock,  exdu- 
sive  of  sums  due  for  deposits  not  bearing  interest  The  only  restraint 
on  the  power  to  contract  such  a  debt  is  contained  in  section  63  of  the 
same  chapter,  which  provides  that  no  bank  shall  make  any  contract  for 
the  payment  of  money  at  a  future  day  certain,  of  with  int^^st  This 
language  is  certainly  broad  enough  to  cover  a  contract  by  one  bank 
with  another  to  pay  money  at  a  future  day.  That  it  was  intended  to 
include  such  contracts  is  strongly  implied  from  the  exception  to  the  pro- 
hibition, by  which  it  is  provided  that  "  all  debts  due  to  one  bank  from 
another  may  draw  interest"  The  conclusion  would  seem  to  be  inerita- 
ble  that  the  legislature,  in  making  this  provision,  had  in  view  debts  due 
from  one  bank  to  another,  and  intended  to  bring  them  within  that  part 
of  the  section  which  prohibits  them  from  being  made  payable  on  \xafi, 
but  to  exempt  them  from  the  prohibition  of  drawing  interest  We  can 
see  no  sufficient  reason  for  limiting  this  exception  to  any  particular  class 
of  debts  existing  between  banks.  It  i%  applicable  to  every  species  of 
indebtment  which  may  lawfully  be  due  from  one  bank  to  another.  It 
was  suggested  by  the  counsel  for  the  defendants  that  in  Faneuil  Ball 
Bank  V.  Bank  of  Brighton^  16  Gray,  this  court  had  given  such  con- 
struction to  this  provision  of  the  law  as  to  authorize  a  bank  to  borrow 
money  from  another  bank  payable  at  a  future  day.  But  this  is  a  mis- 
apprehension. No  question  arose  in  that  case  as  to  the  right  or  power 
of  one  bank  to  borrow  money  from  another  bank.  The  point  there 
decided  was,  that  a  draft  drawn  by  one  bank  on  another,  payable  at  a 
future  day,  was  not  on  its  face  unlawful,  because  there  might  be  trans-

EIGHTH  ANNUAL  REPORT 


INSUEANCE    COMMISSIONEES 


Part  L ON  FISE  AND  MABINE  INSUBANCE. 


To  the  Honorable   Senate  and  House  of  Representatives ,  in 
General  Court  assembled. 

In  submitting  the  Eighth  Annual  Report  of  this  Commission 
in  relation  to  Insurance  Companies,  we  pursue  the  plan  of 
dividing  it  into  two  parts,  which  seems  to  have  proved  conve- 
nient and  economical  in  the  two  previous  years.  In  spite,  how- 
ever, of  this  economy,  it  is  proper  to  say  that  the  two  previous 
reports,  as  well  as  some  of  their  predecessors,  went  largely 
where  they  were  not  needed,  and  failed  to  go  where  they  were 
needed  and  desired.  We  would  therefore  suggest  that  a  certain 
portion  of  each  edition  of  these  Reports  be  reserved  at  the  docu- 
ment room,  to  be  sold  at  a  reasonable  price  for  the  benefit  of 
the  Commonwealth.  Under  such  a  restriction,  many  copies, 
avoiding  useless  captivity  in  private  garrets,  might  be  made  to 
impart  valuable  information  to  business  men,  on  their  way  back 
to  the  paper  mill. 

The  Fire  and  Marine  Insurance  Companies  now  existing  by 
charters  from  this  Commonwealth  number  105,  having  risks 
outstanding  to  the 'amount  of  $480,000,000.  With^au  income 
from  premiums  during  the  year  of  $6,437,407,  they  have  paid 
losses  to  the.  amount  of  $5,283,962.  All  but  thirty-four  com- 
panies are  constructed  on  the  principle  of  mutual  insurance.

iv  INSURANCE  COMMISSIONERS'  REPORT.    [Jan. 

Twelve  companies,  four  of  them  joint  stock  and  eight  mutuil, 
do  only  marine  business.  Seventeen  companies,  thirteen  of 
them  joint  stock  and  four  mutual,  do  both  fire  and  marine  busi- 
ness. The  other  seventy-six  companies,  seventeen  of  them  jwnt 
stock  and  fifty-nine  mutual,  do  only  fire  business.  Of  the  mariae 
business  59  per  cent,  is  done  by  twelve  mutual  companies,  and 
41  per  cent,  by  seventeen  stock  companies.  Of  the  fire  bus- 
uess  a  little  more  than  59  per  cent,  is  done  by  sixtj-three

aggregate  the  premiama  have  not  been  so  largely  in  excess  of 
the  losses  as  in  the  previous  year.  The  returns  of  the  fire  busi-

It  is  quite  apparent  from  this  that  the  companies,  on  the 
whole,  suffered  much  more  severely  from  fires  in  18G2  than  in 
1861.  The  losses  were  also  less  evenly  distributed.  There  were 
not  only  a  much  larger  number  of  companies  which  last  year 
paid  more  for  losses  than  they  received  in  premiums,  but  the 
net  losses  of  the  year  were  much  larger  to  several  companies 
than  any  experienced  in  the  previous  three  years.  The  fol- 
lowing table  shows  the  number  of  stock  companies  that  have 
made  net  losses,  putting  expenses  out  of  the  account,  in  the 
past  four  years,  the  aggregate  premium  receipts,  losses  and  net 
losses  of  said  companies  in  each  year,  and  the  largest  net  loss 
of  any  company.

vi  INSURANCE  COMMISSIONERS'  REPORT.    [Jul 

That  ten  out  of  our  thirty-four  home  stock  companies  skiild 
lose  in  the  same  year  more  than  their  premium  receipts,  to  tfe 
extent  of  21  per  cent,  of  the  same,  is  a  rather  startling  kt 
And  it  is  none  the  less  so  when  we  observe  that  out  of  fom- 
eight  foreign  stock  companies  doing  business  in  this  ComiQo&- 
wealth,  only  four,  and  those  all  in  New  England,  have  failed  id 
receive  premiums  during  the  last  year  in  excess  of  their  losses. 
These  four  have  made  an  aggregate  net  loss  of  #8,377,  tte 
largest  being  $4,454.96.  It  is  true,  a  large  portion  of  the 
extraordinary  loss  of  the  year  came  from  the  sin^e  conflagrataa 
in  Troy,  whicli  also  gave  a  lesson  to  some  companies  oat  of 
Massachusetts.  But  setting  that  aside,  the  table  above  girea 
shows  a  tendency  to  misfortune  of  more  than  one  year's  stand- 
ing. Companies  with  a  large  and  well  established  busine^  mi; 
injure  it  by  exposing  too  many  risks  to  a  single  confiagratioiL 
Those  with  a  smaller  business  are  likely  to  do  it  by  taking  too 
much  in  a  single  risk,  however  carefully  insulated.  Our  geo- 
eral  statute  forbids  any  stock  company  to  hazard  on  one  rii 
more  than  one-tenth  of  its  capital  and  surplus.  But  no  compaoj, 
without  a  business  the  income  of  which  is  at  least  ten  times 
that  of  its  capital,  can  hazard  one-tenth,  or  even  one-fifth,  of  its 
capital  on  each  of  a  considerable  number  of  risks  witliout  bdi^ 
pretty  sure  some  time  or  other  seriously  to  impair  its  capital 
The  safety  of  the  capital  depends  on  the  minute  sub-diviaoa 
of  the  risk,  as  well  as  in  always  exacting  a  premium  aboTe 
the  average  net  value  of  the  risk.  The  directors  should  aim 
to  multiply  the  business  rather  than  to  magnify  it  There 
can  be  no  doubt  whatever  that  most  of  our  unfortunate  com- 
panies carry  risks  which  are  on  the  average  much  larger,  in 
proportion  to  the  whole  number  of  risks  carried,  than  those  of 
the  largest  companies  with  which  they  have  to  compete.  Onlf 
two  of  our  home  stock  companies  have  received  fire  premiuiiB 
during  the  year  exceeding  $100,000  each,  against  twen^-ooe 
foreign  stock  companies,  each  of  which  has  received  more  thaa 
that  sum,  or,  on  the  average,  nearly  $300,000  each.  We  haT« 
only  thirteen  home  stock  companies  which  insure  against  fire 
each  to  a  larger  amount  than  $5,000,000.  The  largest  insures 
$20,000,000,  and  the  average  of  the  thirteen  is  less  than  19,000,- 
000  each.  Yet  these  thirteen  companies  carry  about  $115,000,000 
of  risks,  while  the  other  sixteen  carry  only  $41,000,000.

There  are  doing  business  in  this  State,  without  including  the 
two  large  English  companies,  twenty-one  companies  chartered 
elsewhere,  each  of  which  insures  over  $10,000,000,  and  which 
insure,  on  the  average,  over  $24,000,000  each.  Their  aggregate 
insurance  is  over  $500,000,000,  and  their  aggregate  capital 
f  8,460,000.  We  have  thirty-four,  or  rather  now  but  thirty- 
three,  companies,  which  insure  $155,500,000,  with  an  aggre- 
gate capital  of  $6,153,500.  That  is,  the  twenty-one  foreign 
companies  insure  about  two  and  a  half  times  as  much,  in  pro- 
portion to  their  capital,  as  ours,  and  more  than  five  times  as 
much  in  proportion  to  their  numbers.  Is  it  not  plain  enough, 
from  this,  that  it  is  not  for  lack  of  insurance  companies  or 
insurance  capital,  that  Massachusetts  fails  to  secure  its  proper 
share  of  the  insurance  business  at  home  or  abroad  ?  Rather  is 
it  not  sufficiently  evident  that  Massachusetts  has  injured  its  own 
insurance  capital  and  business  by  creating  too  many  companies  ? 

Of  the  thirty-four  home  stock  companies,  one,  the  United 
States,  of  Boston,  with  a  capital  of  $200,000,  has  voted  to 
retire  from  business.  After  re-insuring  its  risks,  it  appears  to 
have  an  unimpaired  capital  and  surplus  of  about  12  per  cent. 
to  divide  among  its  stockholders.  Two  companies,  the  Western 
Massachusetts,  of  Pittsfield,  and  the  Massasoit,  of  Springfield, 
(the  latter  since  November,  1862,)  have  called  in  fresh  capital. 
The  former  repaired  its  assets  to  the  amount  of  its  original 
capital,  ($150,000,)  with  a  small  surplus  above  re-insurance, 
by  something  like  an  assessment  on  its  stockholders.  The 
latter  has  added  $50,000  to  its  capital  stock,  making  its  present 
amount  $200,000.  This  does  not  affect  the  actual  deficiency 
of  about  $28,000,  (see  page  40,)  except  to  make  it  bear  a 
smaller  ratio  to  the  capital — 14  instead  of  18.6  per  cent.  It 
will  be  seen  from  the  returns  that  there  were,  last  November, 
several  other  companies  with  capitals  more  or  less  impaired, 
and  there  is  no  reason  to  suppose  that  the  tendency  in  that  ♦ 
direction  has  received  any  check.  No  law  exists  requiring 
these  companies  to  make  good  the  original  amount  of  their 
capital,  how  much  soever  their  assets  may  have  become  dimin- 
ished by  losses.  The  only  provisions  for  the  safety  of  the 
insured  and  the  public  are,  that  if  the  directors,  after  the 
capital  is  reduced,  allow  more  than  one-tenth  of  the  existing 
capital  to  be  insured  on  any  one  risk,  they  shall  be  personally

liable  for  the  excess  of  any  loss  above  one-tenth,  and  that  do 
dividend  shall  be  made  until  the  capital  is  restored  to  its 
original  amount.  As  the  first  provision  applies  only  to  new 
husines<<,  and  does  not  require  the  reduction  of  existing  risks, 
and  as  it  places  the  line  altogether  too  high  to  be  of  any  prac* 
tical  effect  in  any  case,  and  as  the  second  provision  is  evaded 
by  making  what  are  called  "  interest  dividends,"  or  by  specu- 
lation in  the  depreciated  stock,  it  seems  to  us  that  there  should 
be  on  our  statute  book,  as  on  that  of  New  York,  a  law  obliging 
these  corporations  fully  to  repair  their  capitals  whenever  thej 
become  reduced  by  losses  to  the  extent  of  twenty-five  per  cent, 
or  perhaps  less.  If  such  a  law  should  discourage  the  formation 
of  new  companies,  or  cause  some  already  in  the  field  to  retire, 
the  figures  of  tliis  Report  will  not  allow  us  to  consider  even 
such  a  result  any  damage  to  the  insurance  interests  of  the 
Commonwealth.  As  Massachusetts  is  too  compact  to  be  any 
thing  but  a  unit,  any  obvious  shakiness  in  one  of  her  institu- 
tions discredits  the  whole. 

Since  the  last  Report  the  following  foreign  fire  insurance 
companies  have  ceased  to  do  business  in  this  State :  Commerce, 
New  York  ;  Hanover,  New  York  ;  Humboldt,  New  York ;  Li 
Fayette,  Brooklyn,  N.  Y. ;  Northern,  Aberdeen,  and  London, 
Eng. ;  Resolute,  N.  Y. ;  Unity,  London,  Eng. ;  Republic,  N.  Y. 

The  following  foreign  fire  insurance  companies  having  coBh 
plied  with  the  law  and  satisfied  us,  on  personal  examination  of 
their  assets,  of  the  sufficiency  of  their  funds,  have  been 
admitted  to  do  business  here,  at  the  dates  annexed : —

Beekman,  New  York,         ....    Jan.      26, 1863 

The  statements  of  these,  as  well  as  the  other  foreign  com- 
panies, will  be  found  in  the  abstract  appended. 

The  values  of  securities  carried  into  the  abstract  are  usually 
the  market  values,  as  returned  by  the  companies  themselves. 
We  have  not  in  this  Report  altered  the  valuation  given  by  the 
company,  though  in  several  instances  the  same  stock  is  valued

very  differently,  by  different  companies.  In  such  cases  it  would 
be  difficult,  and  perhaps  impossible,  to  find  any  authoritative 
standard.  As  to  securities  well  known  in  the  market  by  actual 
sales  at  the  date  of  the  return,  there  seems  very  little  occasion 
to  alter  the  figures  returned  by  the  companies.  The  stocks  and 
other  securities  held  will  all  be  found  given  in  detail,  under  the 
head  of  ^^  Remarks,"  in  the  following  pages,  and  in  the  general 
confusion  of  the  money  market  that  is  the  best  we  are  able  to 
do.  Taking  their  own  valuation,  our  home  stock  companies, 
in  spite  of  their  extraordinary  losses  during  the  year,  stand 
more  than  half  a  million  of  dollars  better  in  their  assets  than 
they  did  at  the  close  of  the  previous  year.  A  proportionate 
appreciation  holds  true  of  the  mutual  companies,  so  far  as  their 
assets  consist  of  marketable  securities.  It  may  be  said  this  has 
not  increased  the  strength  of  the  companies  in  reality.  But  it 
certainly  has  increased  their  ability  to  pay  losses  in  the  legal 
tender  of  the  country,  and  has  alleviated  materially  the  burden 
of  the  tax. 

Tlie  number  of  mutualfire  insurance  companies  has  been 
decreased  by  two  during  the  year.  The  Eagle,  of  Boston,  and 
the  Farmers'  Mutual,  of  Georgetown,  have  been  placed  in  the 
hands  of  receivers,  by  the  supreme  judicial  court,  on  our 
petition,  and  are  going  through  the  slow  process  of  "  winding 
np."  Of  the  four  companies  that  were  subjected  to  the  same 
process  in  the  previous  year,  only  two,  the  Home  and  the 
Fayette,  seem  to  have  approached  the  end.  In  the  Hamilton 
and  Traders',  and  the  two  second  classes  of  the  Mutual  Safety, 
of  South  Reading,  and  the  Citizens'  Mutual,  of  Brighton, 
winding  up  by  the  companies  themselves,  as  well  as  in  the 
Farmers'  Mutual  and  the  Eagle,  the  process  seems  to  spin  out 
as  fast  as  it  winds  up.  In  the  meantime,  under  the  Act  of  last 
year  in  regard  to  assessments,  (chapter  181,)  though  it  was 
supposed  to  be  carefully  guarded  against  retroaction,  move- 
ments have  been  made  to  resume  the  ^'  winding  up  "  of  still 
older  cases,  which  long  ago  came  to  a  dead  stand  somewhere 
between  the  beginning  and  the  end.  Tliough  collecting  assess- 
ments of  the  members  of  long  defunct  mutual  insurance 
companies  is  like  letting  down  a  leaky  bucket  into  a  nearly 
empty  veil,  and  will  no  more  pay  old  fire  losses  than  the 
water  so  drawn  would  extinguish  the  fire,  yet  it  may  serve  to

wet  the  whistle  of  the  individual  who  turns  the  crank.  Fe^af^ 
it  would  be  cheaper  to  furnish  him  the  requisite  moistare  ii 
some  other  way. 

The  verj  discouraging  aspect  of  the  winding  up  busbea, 
and  the  experience  of  another  year  showing  that  weak  cos- 
panics,  on  the  average,  grow  weaker,  just  as  surely  as  stioof 
companies  grow  stronger,  fully  confirm  the  remarks  we  ofifeitd 
on  pages  xiii  and  xiv  of  our  last  Report.     Let  us  look  the  frcte 
in  the  face.     They  tell  us  that  mutual  insurance,  if  honesth^ 
judiciously,  energetically  managed,  may  succeed  wholly  on  the 
credit  system  ;  that  is,  by  assessments  after  the  loss.  Every  mea- 
ber  entering  with  the  understanding  that  he  is  to  pay  his  shiR 
of  all  losses  and  expenses  that  occur  during  the  existence  of  hb 
policy,  nearly,  if  not  quite  all,  will  pay  when  called  on.    Bit 
when  each  member  is  required  to  pay  a  premium  in  ea^  Yfakfa 
he  is  told  will  probably  carry  him  through,  with  a  surplus  to  be 
returned  at  the  end,  and  to  give  his  note  in  addition,  rattier  u 
a  matter  of  legal  form  than  of  actual  necessity,  the  case 
becomes  very  different.     A  capital  consisting   of  notes  thTis 
given  has  generally  proved  a  failure  in  time  of  need.    If  tk 
directors,  at  the  start,  are  active,  judicious  and  fortanate,  md 
if  they  set  the  law  at  defiance  by  retaining  the  surplus  cash  pre- 
mium, or  a  good  part  of  it,  instead  of  dividing  it,  the  comptif 
becomes  possessed  of  a  sufficient  cash  capital,  and  the  not^  tie 
not  needed.     The  early  insurers  are  in  fact  made  to  fumidtbe 
grand  balance-wheel  'of  success  for  the  benefit  of  those  who 
come   after.      But  as  often,  or    more   so,  just    the   rerene 
takes  place.     The   directors   divide  money   which  should  be 
kept.    The  premiums  of  new  comers  are  taken  to  pay  losses  or 
dividends  to  the  old  ones  ;  money  is  borrowed  to  do  the  sum 
thing,  thus  still  further  anticipating  the  future  business ;  isA 
at  last,  when  no  more  can  be  borrowed,  and  debts  caa  no 
longer  be  put  off,  resort  is  had  to  the  notes.    Then  it  is  difkak 
to  persuade  members  that  they  can  justly  be  assessed  to  p^ 
losses  which  perhaps  occurred  previous  to  their  receipt  of  oA 
dividend.     Very  little  can  be  collected,  and  that  after  greit 
delay  and  shocking  expense.     In  short,   however  correct  in 
theory  and   law,  practically  the  mechanism  will  not  work  to 
any  good  purpose,  add  is  a  burning  disgrace  to  the  jogeoioas 
Yankee  mind.    Let  us  look  at  the  actual  figures.    Withoat

invidiouslj  naming  the  companies,  we  select  ten,  which 
appear  from  their  returns  not  to  have,  in  any  case,  more  than 
half  enough  of  cash  funds  to  carry  through  their  present  risks. 
Assessing  the  notes  would  almost  certainly  be  fatal  to  any  one 
of  tbem.  They  can  only  continue  to  exist  and  meet  their  losses 
by  rare  good  luck  as  to  the  amount  of  the  losses,  and  by  victim- 
izimg'  new  comers  !  These  ten  companies  insure,  in  the  aggro- 
gate,  $15,185,994.  Counting  in  their  old  office  furniture  at 
their  own  estimate,  balances  of  old  assessments,  debts  due  from 
agents,  Ac.,  they  lack  $57,242  of  having  cash  funds  sufficient 
to  re-insure  their  outstanding  risks.  In  point  of  fact,  it  would 
require  $91,205  to  re-insure  the  balance  of  their  risks  at  the 
eash  premium  required  at  first,  which,  as  we  see,  turned  out 
insufficient ;  but  after  paying  other  immediate  debts,  they  have 
really  altogether  only  $16,480  of  cash  funds  for  that  purpose — 
and  some  of  them  considerably  less  than  none !  Yet  the  legal 
euro  provided  for  this  state  of  things  has  proved  to  work  so 
little,  if  any  better,  than  the  disease,  that  we  cannot  but  dread 
to  apply  it  even  when  the  operation  becomes  inevitable.  That 
a  company  of  several  hundreds  of  well-meaning  people  who 
bave  been  misled  into  this  uncertain  style  of  insuring  each 
other,  when  they  find  their  treasury  without  funds  and  five  or 
ten  thousand  dollars  in  debt,  should  be  wound  up  for  two  or 
three  years,  at  an  expense  about  as  great  as  the  debt,  without 
any  certainty  of  finally  paying  it,  seems  a  hard  fate.  An  ounce 
of  prevention  in  such  a  case  seems  preferable  to  any  amount  of 
eure.  Bad  as  the  cas^  alluded  to  are,  perhaps  not  one  of  them 
is  a  case  of  legal  insolvency,  because  no  creditor  is  pressing  for 
money,  and  officers  are  willing  to  lend  on  the  security  of  notes 
or  future  premiums.  If  clothed  with  the  legal  power  to  make 
the  proper  assessments,  we  should  have  no  doubt  that  wo  could 
either  close  these  companies,  to  the  great  benefit  of  all  con- 
cerned, with  little  loss  of  time  or  money,  or  compel  the  present 
members  to  place  cash  enough  behind  their  risks  to  give  them 
a  fair  title  to  solicit  new  associates.  The  latter  result  would 
never  take  place,  however,  if  the  insured  should  understand 
their  own  interests.  It  is  not  possible  for  any  mutual  insurance 
company  witli  a  smaller  amount  of  business  and  only  cash 
enough  to  re-insure  its  risks,  to  furnish  for  the  same  money  as 
good  a  quality  of  insurance  as  a  mutual  company  with  a  larger

business  and  a  surplus  of  cash  beyond  the  re-insurance.  A 
strictlj  legal  mutual  insurance  company,  that  is,  one  whid 
from  the  start  has  yielded  to  every  member  his  right  under 
section  51,  chapter  58  of  the  General  Statutes,  cannot  bets 
safe  as  many  of  our  best  illegal  companies,  without  having  a  busi- 
ness at  least  one  liundred  times  as  great  as  section  58  of  the 
same  chapter  requires  to  start  with.     Therefore  when  ooe  of 
the  lame  mutual  insurance  companies  is  made  as  good  as  nev^ 
or  ten  times  as  good,  it  is  not  made  a  sure  thing,  nor  can  it  be 
put  on  the  road  to  safety  without  being  allowed  to  reseire  from 
division,  at  the  expiration  of  each  policy,  some  portion  of  the 
net  profits  thereon.     All  other  forms  of  mutual  insurance, erea 
when    started  wholly  on  credit,  recognize  the  necessity  of  a 
reserve  of   cash   profits.     The  mutual   marine  and  fire  aod 
marine  companies,   though   they  issue  scrip  for  profits,  are 
allowed  by  law  to  retain  the  actual  funds  absolutely  subject  to 
be  absorbed  by  future  losses,  and  do  not  begin  to  redeem  the 
scrip  till  the  reserve  fund  exceeds  a  certain  fixed  amount  ;Tiz., 
it  is  at  the  option  of  the  company  to  begin  to  redeem  scrip  after 
the  fund  reaches  $250,000,  and  it  is  imperative  after  it  reaches 
$500,000.     So  the  joint  stock  insurance  companies  in  New  York 
and  elsewhere,  which  are  converting  themselves  into  mutal 
companies  to  the  extent  of  three-fourths  of  their  profits,  on 
what  is  called  the  "  participation  scheme,"  only  issue  »;np  to 
the  policy-holder  for  his  share  of  said  profits,  and  make  no 
provision  whatever  for  the  redemption  of  this  scrip  except  the 
excess  of  the  fund  of  profits  over  a  fixed  sum,  which,  so  far  » 
we  know,  is   $500,000.     When  it  comes  to  redemption,  the 
oldest  scrip  takes  precedence,  and  the  fund  is  always  subject  to 
losses  as  much  as  the  capital,  and  before  the  capital.    For  the 
want  of  a  law,  in  their  case,  consistent  with  success,  our  rcallj 
successful  mutual  insurance  companies  have  all  pursned  die 
practice  above  described  as  to  retaining  the  profits,  or  a  part  (^ 
them,  with  this  difference, — that  they  have  issued  no  scrip. 
They  have  accumulated  considerable  funds,  which  may  be  siid 
to  belong  to  the  company  without  belonging  to  the  members. 
As  it  is  natural  for  Massachusetts  men  to  aim  at  succe^  uid 
unnatural  for  them  to  violate  law,  it  is  worthy  of  consideration 
whether    it    may  not   be   best  to  authorize  all  mutual  fire 
insurance  companies  hereafter  to  retain  all  their  profits,  oo(f

issuing  scrip  therefor,  to  be  redeemed  in  the  order  of  its  age 
after  the  profit  fund  exceeds  $200,000,  and  only  as  fast  as  such 
excess  accrues. 

That  the  mutual  system  of  insurance  is  better  suited  than 
the  stock  system  to  the  genius  and  character  of  our  free  and 
thinking  society  is  plain  enough  from  the  marked  success  of 
many  of  our  own  mutual  companies,  the  still  greater  success 
of  mutual  marine  insurance  in  New  York,  and  the  increasing 
popularity  of  tlie  "  participation  scheme "  above  alluded  to. 
The  business  would  gravitate  into  the  mutual  channel  of  itself 
were  it  not  that  the  private  interest  of  the  oflScers  of  a  multi- 
tude of  small  mutual  companies  stands  in  the  way  striving  to 
sab-divide,  in  direct  conflict  with  the  mathematical  principle  on 
which  all  insurance  is  founded. 

Besides  making  the  ordinary  abstract  from  the  returns,  it  has 
been  an  object  with  us  for  several  years  past,  to  elicit  from 
those  of  the  mutual  fire  insurance  companies  an  exact  finan- 
cial history,  or  exhaustive  cash-balance-sheet,  from  year  to  year, 
of  each  company.  But  so  differently  have  the  questions  of  the 
schedule  been  understood,  or  at  any  rate  so  differently  answered, 
that  it  has  been  found  impossible,  in  regard  to  most  companies, 
from  their  returns,  to  account  for  the  cash  assets  of  the  present 
year  having  become  what  they  are  from  being  what  they  were 
in  the  previous  year.  The  schedules  adopted  in  1856  were 
doubtless  intended  to  call  forth  all  actual  receipts  and  disburse- 
ments, profit  and  loss,  of  whatever  nature.  One  reason  why 
they  sometimes  fail  to  do  so  is,  that  some  companies  have  on 
their  books  constructive  receipts  and  disbursements,  which 
should  balance  each  other,  and  they  return  one  side  of  the 
account  without  the  other.  The  schedule  does  not  call  for 
either  side  of  such  an  account,  but  if  one  is  returned  the  other 
should  be.  For  example,  in  some  companies,  though  interest 
in  cash  is  never  exacted  on  the  premium  notes,  it  is  received 
constructively,  and  paid  back  constructively,  as  part  of  the 
dividend.  This  constructive  disbursement  is  exactly  equal  to 
the  constructive  receipt,  and  both  might  well  be  omitted  from 
the  return.  But,  one  company,  following  its  ledger,  will 
include  the  constructive  interest  along  with  the  cash  interest, 
under  the  head  of  "  amount  received  for  interest,"  and  exclude 
it  under  the  head  of  "  amount  of  cash  dividends  paid  to  policy-

holders,"  as  would  be  obTiously  proper  from  tiie  terms  <rf  h 
question.     Another  company,  perhaps,  not  finding  any  ob- 
structive interest  on  its  ledger,  will  return  only  tiie  intercs 
received  in  cash,  but  will  return  as  cash  dividends  all  thith^ 
been  paid,  whether  really  or  constructively.     The  first  csk- 
pany  will  of  course  appear  to  have  less  assets  than  it  ougbt  y^ 
and  the  other  more.    This  is  only  one  of  many  similar  e&sei 
of  discrepancy.     When  attention  was  first  called  to  this  sabjed 
in  the  Report  of  1861,  twenty-six  companies  showed  an  eioes 
of  assets  of  about  $49,000  in  the  aggregate,  and  thirty-d|h 
companies  a  deficiency   of   about  $80,000.     The  next  jw 
twenty-two  showed  an    excess  of   $18,345.14,   and   thirtj  i 
deficiency  of  $42,539.15.     Seven   companies  made  the  asset! 
exactly  agree  with  the  balance  of  receipts  and  disbursemaitL 
Last  year  the  schedule  was  altered,  partly  with  a  view  to  p& 
returns  so  precise  and  exhaustive  as  to  avoid  this  discrcpaDcr. 
The  success  has  not  been  very  flattering.    Four  compaBiff 
show  exactly  the  assets  which  we  should  expect  from  the  babsct 
of  last  year  with  the  returns  of  this.    Of  the  rest,  twenty4¥0 
'  show  an  excess  of  assets  to  the  amount  of  $16,740.57,  id 
thirty-one  a  deficiency  of  $49,476.01.    If  the  gentlemen  vhoK 
duty  it  is  to  make  these  returns  from  year  to  year,  will  caiefidh 
examine  the  schedule  [C]  in  the  light  of  our  two  or  three  ks: 
Reports,  tiiey  will  be  able  to  give  the  exact  information  needed 
to  account  for  their  having  just  what  they  claim  to  hare-fio 
more  and  no  less.    Such  exactness  will  be  creditable  ho&  tc 
the  companies  and  the  Commonwealth.    As  il  is,  looking  i: 
any  two  consecutive  Reports,  some  companies  appear  to  htR 
been  enriched  and  others  impoverished,  often  to  the  extent^ 
thousands  of  dollars,  in  a  manner  entirely  incomprdieDsil)k 
from  the  returns.    A  stranger  might  infer  frt>m  such  figine 
that  some  companies  had  enjoyed  surprise  parties .  not  provided 
for  in  schedule  C,  and  that  others  were  blessed  with  bod 
keepers  prone  to  keep  out  of  the  books  some  things  taken  OQt 
of  the  safe. 

For  the  purpose  of  giving  a  better  bird's  eye  view  ih%n  is 
afforded  by  the  abstracts,  particularly  in  regard  to  the  recdpts 
and  expenses  of  the  year,  we  introduce  synopses  of  the  njiwi 
classes  of  companies,  carrying  out  their  surpluses  and  defi- 
ciencies, on  the  supposition  that  it  requires  50  per  cent  at  ^

premiums  to  re-insure  the  outstanding  risks.  It  is  to  be  observed, 
howeyer,  that  this  is  a  verj  arbitrary  standard.  It  may  be  too 
low  for  some,  and  it  is  certainly  too  high  for  others.  It  js  too 
hard  on  a  falling  business  and  too  easy  on  a  rising  one.  On 
the  other  hand,  companies  somewhat  ^'  hard  up ''  for  business 
— ^if  they  will  allow  us  that  expression — having'  rather  the 
second  pick  of  risks,  might  have  to  give  more  than  half  their 
premium  to  re-insure  for  half  th^  time.  Moreover  it  is  to  be 
remembered  that  Uie  significance  of  a  surplus  or  deficiency  is 
inversely  as  the  business  done  by  the  company.  The  greater 
the  permanent  volume  of  the  stream  the  less  the  consequence 
to  the  mill  which  it  drives  of  the  amount  of  water,  more  or 
less,  in  the  pond  which  is  used  to  guard  against  the  dry  spells. 
We  have  by  no  means  forgotten  our  obligation,  arising  out  of 
cor  own  too  easy  faith,  to  look  after  the  Directors  of  the  State 
Fire  Insurance  Company  of  New  Haven,  Gt.,  who  by  a  false 
statement  entered  this  State  and  defrauded  its  citizens,  year 
before  last.  But  we  are  sorry  to  say  that  neither  the  criminal 
prosecution  which  was  promised  us,  nor  the  civil  suit  which  we 
authmzed,  has  yet  come  to  an  issue.  The  former,  we 
presume,  is  declined  on  account  of  the  high  xespectability  of 
the  only  party  within  reach,  who  could  properly  be  the  first 
subject  of  it.  The  latter  is  awaiting  its  turn  on  the  docket  of 
the  court.  We  have  authority,  very  high  at  the  Connecticut 
bar,  for  believing  that  the  Directors  of  the  State  Fire  of  ^ew 
Haven  are  personally  liable  to  pay  all  the  losses  incurred  in 
Massachusetts,  as  well  as  to  refund  unearned  premium.  A 
test  case  is  in  the  hands  of  a  gentleman  of  the  New  Haven  bar, 
of  great  vigor,  tact,  legal  knowledge  and  moral  courage,  and 
we  look  hopefully  for  a  decisive  and  favorable  result,  when  it 
can  be  reached.  The  following  correspondence  gives  our  latest 
information  as  to  the  time  when  a  trial  may  be  expected : —

progress  has  been  made  in  the  suit  I  authorized  you  to  bring  against

and  figures  by  which  they  got  basiness  in  Massachusetts,  and  the  m 
shall  not  fail  through  any  failure  on  my  part. 

Very  respectfully,  yours, 

Elizur  Wright. 

New  Haven,  Ct.,  January  16, 1863. 
Elizur  Wright,  Esq. 

Dear  Sir, — Your  favor  is  a^hand,  and  the  case  will  be  tried  attk 
first  jury  term  of  court,  either  in  March  next,  or  October.  No  obstacle 
stands  in  the  way  of  a  trial  as  soon  as  the  case  can  be  reached  on  tk 
jury  docket.  Yours  truly, 

T.    E.    DOOLITTLE. 

The  aspect  of  this  matter  has  not  grown  at  all  brighter  for 
the  innocence  of  the  New  Haven  directors  by  any  thing  thii 
has  appeared  during  Uie  year.  Among  the  claims  against  ^ 
Company  filed  with  the  Receiver  we  understand  there  are 
several  for  the  use  of  the  stocks  which  made  up  the  bogos 
"guarantee  capital;"  claims  which  the  Receiver  has  b«B 
obliged  to  admit,  proving  that  the  owners  of  the  stock  wore  m 
no  sense  stockholders  or  even  f^uarafiiee  stockholders  in  tbe 
Company.  The  sum  of  fifty  thousand  dollars  out  of  the  two 
hundred  thousand  sworn  to  as  the  paid  up  capital,  was  merelj 
hired  to  be  looked  at,  was  to  be  returned  safe  with  four  per 
cent,  added  for  that  use  of  it,  and  was  not  to  be  used  in  aoj 
other  way  whatever.  Another  one  hundred  thousand  doU&rs. 
as  four  or  five  at  least  of  the  New  Haven  directors  must  hive 
known,  consisted  of  the  stock  notes  of  a  single  New  Yi^i 
family,  father  and  sou,  endorsed  by  each  other.  As  those  men, 
though  reputed  wealthy  among  the  Jenkinses  of  social  life,  \x^ 
no  particular  status  m  the  business  world,  the  managii^ 
directors  saw  clearly  enough  that  such  assets  would  not  ansv^ 
to  be  looked  at.  They  therefore  conspired  with  those  cliKelj 
related  New  York  stockholders  to  have  transferred  to  tlie  com- 
pany as  security  for  the  notes,  a  batch  of  mortgages  on  Adinm- 
dack  lands,  (ignoring,  however,  every  thing  which  would  scm 
to  indicate  that  famous  locality,)  amounting  to  considerably  more 
than  the  notes,  which  having  a  certificate  of  examination  and 
appraisal  under  the  broad  seal  of  the  comptroller  of  Nct 
York,  would  answer  to  be  looked  at,  distantly.  As  these  mort- 
gages, though  in  fact  only  collateral  to  the  notes,  were  made

directly  to  the  Company,  and  stood  in  its  name,  the  notes 
tbemselyes  sunk  out  of  sight  in  the  examination  or  the  assets, 
which  was  made  by  A.  0.  Brewster,  Esq.,  referred  to  in  our  last 
Report,  and  of  course  they  were  carefully  kept  out  of  sight  in 
the  sworn  statement,  filed  in  this  office,  the  officers  therein 
answering  to  the  question,  ^^What  amount  of  the  capital 
consists  of  the^stockholders'  notes  ?  "  by  the  emphatic  Arabic 
negatives,  "000." 

But  the  Beceiver  of  the  Company,  who  we  believe  is  honestly 
exerting  himself  to  make  the  most  of  its  assets  for  the  benefit 
of  its  creditors,  finding  that  the  mortgages  are  not  at  present 
worth  the  cost  of  foreclosure,  on  account  of  their  minute 
subdivision  and  the  complication  of  legal  formalities,  resolved 
to  test  the  value  of  the  notes  of  that  remarkable  family  of 
stockholders.  Fortunately  for  him,  the  father  of  the  family, 
the  Bev.  Dr.  Campbell,  who  had  given  his  own  stock  note  for- 
forty  thousand  dollars,  and  endorsed  his  son's  for  sixty  thousand 
dollars,  appeared  one  day  in  one  of  the  churches  of  New 
Haven,  as  a  preacher  of  the  gospel.  After  quietiy  performing 
his  sacred  function  to  the  satbfaction  of  his  audience,  for  any 
thing  that  appears,  he  was  arrested  and  held  to  answer  to  a 
suit  on  the  notes,  in  a  Connecticut  court.  We  have  been 
informed  that  he  is  now  endeavoring  to  compromise  by  convey- 
ing to  the  Company  other  real  estate  perhaps  somewhat, 
though  not  much,  less  hard-favored  than  that  which  is  so 
patientiy  waiting  the  glory  of  better  times  among  the  moun- 
tains of  northern  New  York.  The  difficulty  with  the  Beceiver 
is,  not  that  the  property  is  not  of  considerable  value,  but  that 
he  has  serious  doubts  of  the  validity  of  the  reverend 
gentleman's  titie. 

If  we  are  asked  for  the  reason  why  in  this  and  the  former 
Beport  we  have  so  painfully  ventilated  this  case  of  fraud  and 
endeavored  to  concentrate  upon  its  details  and  circumstances, 
its  auljl^ors  and  abettors,  the  greatest  possible  amount  of  public 
attention,  we  answer  that  it  is  to  demonstrate  the  importance 
of  providing  very  distinctiy  by  law,  that  the  directors  of 
business  corporations  should  be  held  personally  responsible  for 
the  substantial  truth  of  those  printed  or  written  statements  on 
which  their  own  accredited  agents  procure  business.  For 
example,  that  the  directors  of  an  insurance  company  shall  be

material  fkots  of  anj  statement  which  thej  are  allowed  to

The  New  Haven  case  is  bj  no  means  the  only  one  which  mig^t 
be  cited  to  show  that  corporate  conscience  is  much  weaker 
than  private  conscience  is  conunonlj  supposed  to  be,  and  tbat 
it  needs  a  reinforcement  of  statute  law  behiad  it,  to  inson 
even  a  tolerable  degree  of  truthfulness. 


All  which  is  respectfully  submitted.

SAUGUS  MUTUAL  FIRE  INSURANCE  COMPANY,  SAUGUS. 

[Tncorporatad,  JthruMxj  24, 1852— Obarter  expires,  1880.] 

Habmok  Hall,  President.  Secretary,  Wilbur  F.  Newhall. 

The  btuinefls  of  this  Company  is  confined  to  Sangos,  Lynn,  Lynnfield, 
Swampscott  and  Nahant.  No  cash  premiams  are  taken,  its  dependence  for 
the  payment  of  losses  being  upon  the  lien  on  the  property  insured.  The 
expenses,  except  for  stationery  and  printing,  are  met  by  the  collection  of  one 
dollar  on  each  policy. 

In  May,  1856,  an  assessment  was  collected,  which  then  extinguished  the 
debt  of  the  Company ;  since  that  time  the  debt  has  slowly  accumulated,  and 
last  July  (1862)  the  Directors  ordered  the  second  assessment, — sufficient  to 
again  liquidate  the  Company's  indebtedness, — ^which  asMSsaient  is  now  in 
process  of  being  collected.
