Wells (Old-School Presbyterian) preached from the words: He that hath no sword, let him buy one. Dr. Osgood's text was: Lift up a standard to the people.

Governor Andrew, the Mayors of Lowell and Lawrence, and others, met at the State House, in Boston, Mass., for the purpose of identifying the bodies of the Massachusetts soldiers killed in Baltimore. Several articles which were the property of the deceased were exhibited, but failing to identify the bodies by these, the company proceeded to the vault beneath King's Chapel, where the coffins were opened.

companies soon after started, under an escort of their towns-people, for their homes. Three contrabands came with the regiment; two men and a woman. At Bull Run the regiment lost 25 killed, 20 wounded, and 5 missing. The national flag borne by this regiment bears marks of hard usage. The eagle is missing from the staff, and there are three holes in the flag, two made by bullets, and one by a fragment of a shell. This flag, at the beginning of the fight, was borne by the color-bearer, Lawrence, who was shot dead, receiving two musket balls in his breast. The bearer of the Massachusetts flag, G. W. Wallace, of the Haverhill company, was at his side, and seizing the national flag as it fell from Lawrence's hand, he for a time bore both, but at length the last-named was taken by the Sergeant-Major of the regiment, and was retained by him.

This morning the United States steamer Stepping Stones, with a launch and boat's crew from the Yankee, went on a reconnoissance up Occoquan Creek, Va., some four miles. Lieut.

Just as the launch was leaving the south side of the creek, a brisk fire was opened on them by the rebels, from five or six field-pieces posted in a clump of woods. Some forty shells were thrown by the enemy, all of which flew uncomfortably near the Stepping Stones, but doing no damage save slightly tearing the flag. The

Lawrence was dismissed the service of the United States for saying in the presence of officers and civilians, I have no confidence in General Hooker. Burnside was stuck in the mud, and he will be stuck worse; and also for publicly declaring: I want to get out of the service. I don't believe we will succeed. I am dissatisfied generally.
