with the request, and to send forward hospital stores. On the 1st of September, the Governor telegraphed to Mr. Stanton,— In obedience to your telegram received at five o'clock, Saturday afternoon, eleven first-rate surgeons started immediately; thirty more left Massachusetts yesterday, —all regularly detailed by our Surgeon-General, under your order,—and all surgeons of high character and ability: also, nine car-loads of hospital stores left Boston last night. On the fifteenth day of September, the Governor wrote to the Secretary of War, recommending the appointment of General Strong to the command of the post of New York, in place of the officer then there. He preferred to have one selected from civil life, rather than one whose experience and education was only military. New York is the gate through which our regiments advance to the war, and through which also our poor and wounded men, brave in their patience, and more than heroic in their sufferings, are obliged to<

rbes, on his own responsibility, contracted with Captain Blakely for two 11-inch guns. On the 28th of May, 1863, the Executive Council authorized the Governor to contract for the manufacture of ordnance in Europe to the extent of $250,000; and, on the 2d of June, orders were sent to Mr. Forbes, to enter into contract for guns and projectiles in England to that amount. Mr. Forbes accordingly contracted for ten 11-inch and twelve 9-inch rifled Blakelys, to be delivered on or before the 15th of September, and to cost $32,050. It was also provided, that, in case the contractors should be unable to deliver the whole number of 11-inch guns, they might deliver eight of that calibre, and three 9-inch guns in place of the other ten 11-inch guns. As it was thought that, if those parts of the guns which could not be produced at home were sent out from England, the manufacture of Blakely guns might be established in Massachusetts, parts of two 11-inch guns and two 9-inch guns were also contrac

ses which the election of these gentlemen were intended to accomplish. It was generally understood, however, that peace, by compromise with the rebellious States, without regard to the question of slavery, would be effected, if this ticket should prove successful. It is not our purpose, however, to enter upon inquiry of the subject here: we refer to it only as a matter incidental to the purposes of this work. The Republican State Convention of Massachusetts met at Worcester on the 15th of September. Whiting Griswold, of Greenfield, was chosen temporary chairman. On assuming the duties of his position, he made a short address, in the course of which he said,— I trust that this Convention will to-day utter a voice which will send cheer to the President and his Cabinet amid their toils and labors, which will strengthen and increase the Union feeling in every loyal State, which will inspire our brave commanders and soldiers in the field with new hope, which will fall like a d

he honor of their confidence and support in a period of difficulty, and under circumstances of peril and care without example. If, during the remnant of my official term, I shall be so fortunate as not to incur their just disapprobation, I shall resume the duties of a private citizen, carrying the memory of an official career long enough for ambition, and crowned by the happiness of having served the State with singleness of heart. The Republican Convention met in Worcester on the 15th of September, and organized by the choice of Mr. Gillett, of Westfield, for temporary chairman, who, on taking the chair, made a brief and eloquent address. The meeting was permanently organized by the choice of Charles Sumner for president, and a number of vice-presidents and secretaries, among whom were several of the representative men of the party. Alexander H. Bullock, of Worcester, was unanimously nominated for Governor, and William Claflin, of Newton, for Lieutenant-Governor. Henry S. Br
