L. Burt, of Boston, was appointed judgeadvocate-general, Oct. 1, 1862, and was promoted to the rank of brigadier-general, Feb. 9, 1865. Charles Sprague Sargent, of Brookline, was appointed assistant quartermaster-general, with the rank of first lieutenant, Nov. 3, 1862. William Sturgis Hooper, of Boston, was appointed assistant adjutant-general, with the rank of captain, Nov. 19, 1862. Captain Hooper served with this rank at New Orleans as staff officer under General Banks, and died July 1, 1863. The foregoing pages bring the history of Massachusetts in the war to the close of the year 1862, at which time Massachusetts was represented by her brave men in nearly every field of service, and upon the decks of every ship in the American navy. She had given martyrs to the great cause on nearly every battlefield, and in every naval engagement, in the war.

In the Adjutant-General's office, an equal number were written, of which we can refer only to a few, to ill

The preceding chapter brought the record of the State, as it relates to the military correspondence of the Governor and the departments, to July 1, 1863. Before proceeding farther, we propose to briefly sketch the military operations in the several departments from Jan. 1 to July 1, and particularly in regard to the nine months regiments, the services they performed, and their return home at the expiration of their terms of service. General Banks was in command of the Department of the Gulf; General Hooker, of the Army of the Potomac; and General Foster, of North Carolina. All of the nine months regiments, except the Sixth, were in the
