In this he failed. He was, however, offered a Captaincy in the Regular Army, which he declined. Learning from the Secretary of War that Daniel E. Sickles, Esq., was empowered to raise a brigade of volunteers, Stevens immediately applied to him; his company was accepted, and ordered to report at Staten Island. Returning home, he found that many of his men, impatient of delay, had joined other organizations, but his indomitable energy and perseverance were not to be thwarted; and on May 31st, within seven days of the date of his order, he reported at the designated rendezvous with a company completely uniformed, and one hundred and five strong.

He passed the summer at Staten Island, studying under the guidance of Mr. Barlow (since Major-General Barlow), and entered Harvard College at the opening of the term in August. Cambridge, S seventy-five thousand men, he marched with his regiment to Washington, leaving the following note for his father, who was expected home in three days: Staten Island, April 18, 1861. my dear father,—When you get home you will hear why I am not here to receive you.
