did not that afternoon, when they turned one of the sunken vessels, and passed through, and anchored off the fort. We disembarked from the Pawnee a little after eight o'clock, A. M., and marched into the fort to our quarters, having eaten nothing since the day before. Thus ended the Norfolk expedition. April 22, the regiment became a part of the garrison of Fort Monroe.

both to the garret and the drawing-room cannot be other than national and just. May 4, Governor writes to J. Amory Davis, President of the Suffolk Bank,— Please read the within. We shall have an extra session of our Legislature on Tuesday, May 14. Will the banks of Massachusetts take $5,000,000 of United-States loan at par? If not,—supposing that the Legislature of Massachusetts should authorize a loan of $5,000,000 to the United States,—would the banks lend that amount to this Comd to be here at present. How Jim and Henry will envy me! I shall come to see you if I find there is nothing to be done here. So have the blue-room ready.

He never doubted that a change of policy would soon be adopted at Washington, and that the war would be carried on with might and vigor. Foreseeing that it would be a long war, he determined that the State should be placed in a condition to sustain her part with all the resources of men and money at her command. Accordingly, he called an extra session of the Legislature, which met at the State House on Tuesday, the 14th of May. Mr. Claflin, in calling the Senate to order, referred to the extraordinary events which had transpired since the adjournment, and urged upon the Senate the importance of meeting them in a proper spirit. To this end, let us act our part faithfully, that those who placed in our hands these great trusts may not be disappointed, and we, in coming time, may have the proud consciousness of having done our duty. Speaker Goodwin congratulated the House that the Old Bay State had so nobly

On the 13th of May, the first instalment of the wounded at Williamsburg reached New York. Colonel Howe on that day telegraphs to the Governor, I am compelled to send off thirty-three wounded to-night, by eight-o'clock train, all able to walk,—all from Williamsburg. Twenty-six of them belong in Boston. The transport Daniel Webster in, with three hundred more. Next day,—May 14,—he telegraphs, I send, by eight-o'clock train, six bully Chelsea boys, of the First Regiment, in care of a Councilman, John Buck, also five more brave fellows. All will have to ride from the depot. We are with the sick and wounded day and night, ladies and all. Have one hundred at rooms, and one hundred and fifty coming in this morning. Not one complains. Every assistance in the power of the Governor, the Surgeon-General, and other State officers, was rendered the brave men, upon their <

s. The first authority given by the Governor to any person to recruit colored men in Massachusetts, was dated Feb. 7; and the regiment; was filled to the maximum May 14, in less than one hundred days. Before its organization was completed, there being so many colored men anxious to enlist, it was decided to raise another regimente case of the batteries here spoken of, the President had given his authority, and four lieutenants had been commissioned in each of the companies. But, on the 14th of May, a letter was received by His Excellency from the Adjutant-General of the army, saying, that the ruling of the Department has been not to give the permission (fd the Adjutant-General to write to the Adjutant-General of the army, and represent the case to him; which he did on the same day.

nting such a number of copies of these documents as will, to a reasonable degree, supply the demand of the people for the particulars of the military annals of the Commonwealth, and the record of our several volunteer military organizations in the Union army, during a year crowded with incidents, fruitful with valor, its rewards, and its casualties.
