as appropriated ten thousand dollars for the equipment and outfit of a company of volunteers, and to drill them until called for. God save the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Richard H. Dana, Jr., of Cambridge, writes,— The topi I left with you yesterday is the result of fifty years experience of the British in the East. It is now universally used by the British military in India, China, and Indian Islands. I wore that topi in China, India, and Egypt some six months, including June, July, and August. It is the best thing possible. It gives air between the head and the outer case all round. This is the best safeguard against sunstroke or congestion. It is a mistake to wear any thing thin or light like straw. The desiderata are (1) a thick wall between the head and the sun's rays, and (2) air between the wall and the head. The weight on the head, when adjusted around the side, and not on the top, is of little consequence, as all men experienced in Eastern life and travel

Nothing had occurred, since the battle of Bull Run, in July, which so disappointed the expectations and saddened the hearts of loyal people. A distrust was felt of the loyalty and military capacity of some of the high armyndred volumes, Many of the letters received from officers contain matters of great interest, especially those received immediately after the battle of Bull Run, in July, and of Ball's Bluff, in October. Among these is a letter written by Dr. Luther V. Bell, surgeon of the Eleventh Regiment, to Surgeon-General Dale, which gives a he officers of our regiments wrote with more ease and elegance than Major Wilder Dwight, of the Second Regiment. In one of his letters to the Governor, written in July, at Harper's Ferry, where the Second was encamped to protect the Ferry and hold the town, he says,— It is perhaps worthy of remark, that the guard-house occu

n thousand and ninety men. These men were to be raised by draft, in accordance with orders from the War Department, and the laws of the several States. Early in July, Mr. Seward, Secretary of State, and General Buckingham, of the War Department, visited Massachusetts to ascertain, by personal examination and conference, the meae was missing. He went into battle with his regiment, and never returned. His simple epitaph might be, He lived and died for his country.

It is true that these gentlemen were named in official bulletins in words of praise for gallant and efficient services in the field, and, at the end of the war, they were brevetted brigadier-generals; but something more was due the officers and men of the light batteries of Massachusetts. The preceding pages of this chapter give a faint idea of some of the many questions which engaged the attention of the State authorities during the first six months of 1863. Other matters, however, of the highest importance to the unity of the nation and to the good of the Commonwealth, were in the mean time maturing, which culminated, in the early days of July, with the battle of Gettysburg, the fall of Vicksburg, and the capture of Port Hudson, which shook the rebel Confederacy from turret to foundation-stone; the glory of which achievements was for a moment eclipsed by the draft riots in New York and Boston. Of these we shall briefly speak in the succeeding chapter.

ll you oblige me by coming to Boston to-morrow morning? See General Order No. 27 in the morning papers. Governor Andrew was in Washington in the early part of July; and it was doubtless, in a great measure, through his personal efforts that the act of July 4 was passed. On the 6th of July, he telegraphed to John M. Forbes as Governor. On the 15th of August, the Governor wrote to the Secretary of War the following letter:— I had the honor, when in Washington, the first week in July, to call your attention to the cases of several officers of the Thirty-sixth U. S.C. troops, who were degraded by General Orders No. 46 from General Butler's headqned in the field the recommendation of their field officers to promotion, and they had all secured the reputation of bravery and fidelity.
