righam, Readville, and left for the seat of war in detachments,—the first being sent forward Dec. 25; the second, Dec. 27; and the third, on Sunday, December 29, 1861. The regiment was ordered to Annapolis; and Colonel Williams was to await orders from the Adjutant-General of the United States. The regiment remained at Annapolis until the close of the year. The First Light Battery was recruited at Camp Cameron, Cambridge, by Captain Josiah Porter, assisted by William H. McCartney, Jacob H. Sleeper, Jacob Federhen, and Robert L. Sawin, of Boston, who were severally commissioned lieutenants. The battery left the State on the 3d of October, 1861, for Washington. The Second Battery was recruited at Camp Wollaston, Quincy, and left for Washington, on the eighth day of August, 1861. Its officers were Ormond F. Nims, Boston, captain; John W. Wolcott, Roxbury, first lieutenant; George G. Trull of Boston, Richard B. Hall of Boston, second lieutenants. The Third Battery was recruit

in command of the Department of the Gulf, and who was then in New York, superintending the embarkation of troops destined for his command. The Forty-first Regiment sailed from New York, direct for New Orleans. In addition to the nine new regiments, and the four thousand men recruited for the regiments in the field, two new batteries —the Ninth and Tenth—were recruited and organized within the same period. The Ninth Battery, Captain De Vecchi, left the State Aug. 21; and the Tenth, Captain Sleeper, Oct. 6,— with orders to report to the Adjutant-General of the army, at Washington. Thus, within three months from the date of the receipt of orders from Washington, Massachusetts had furnished her contingent of fifteen thousand men; had sent forward nine new regiments and two light batteries, completely armed, clothed, and equipped, to swell the number of those already in the field, and more than four thousand men to fill the gaps in the old regiments, which the waste of war had cause<

rities of the nation at this post. And yet he was an honest and brave officer; but he was wholly unused to transact business, except as specified in general orders and army regulations. Goodfellow finally reached his regiment by transportation furnished by orders from Washington. We give this case as one of a class. Here is another class of cases, of which there were a great number:— To his Excellency. The case of George M. Dixon is this: He enlisted in the Tenth Battery (Captain Sleeper) on the 16th of August, and was sent to camp, where he remained until the 9th of September, when he was mustered into service. He has been paid from the time of muster in, but has received nothing for the one month (lacking five days) he was in camp previous to that time. It is for this time that he claims pay; but as no provision of law, and no appropriation of money, has been made to meet such cases, I do not see how he can be paid. There are thousands of cases existing similar to

that morning been brevetted a brigadier-general, an honor most nobly earned. I remained here nearly an hour, and talked of war: here again the united sentiment was to fill up the old regiments. From thence I proceeded, in a rain-storm, to Captain Sleeper's Tenth Massachusetts Battery, three miles distant. Two of his lieutenants, Sawyer and Granger, had been killed a few days before: the battery, however, is in good condition, and the Captain in good health. I remained with him two hours; gave directions about the rolls, left blanks, and said good-by. Here I parted with my orderly Jack, who, leading my horse, made his way back to the Ninth Corps. Captain Sleeper sent me in an ambulance to the railroad station, the rain falling fast. I arrived at City Point at seven o'clock, and made my way to the hotel, and secured a cot for the night. My purpose, however, was to pass the night with Lieutenant-Colonel Walcott, of the Sixty-first; but I could find no conveyance to take me to his
