these words: Whilst I have had to speak of some of our troops in disparaging terms, yet it is my gratifying privilege to say of the main body of the army, that its officers and men acted in a manner worthy of the great cause for which they were contending, and to add that, so far as my knowledge extends, the battle of Winchester was, on our part, a battle without a straggler. It was while reposing after his victory at Winchester, that he wrote thus to Mrs. Jackson: Winchester, May 26th, 1862. An ever kind Providence blessed us with success at Front Royal on Friday, between Strasbourg and Winchester on Saturday, and here with a successful engagement yesterday . ... I do not remember having ever seen such rejoicing as was manifested by the people of Winchester, as our army yesterday passed through the town in pursuit of the enemy. The town was nearly frantic with joy. Our entrance into Winchester was one of the most stirring scenes of my life. Such joy as the inhabitants ma

l give no idea of its percentage of loss, for it received over 800 men from disbanded regiments, many of these accessions occurring after the fighting was over. When finally disbanded, in July, 1865, it comprised the remnants of seven regiments, viz: the Ninth, Twelfth, Thirteenth, Eighteenth, Twenty-second, Thirty-second, and Thirty-ninth. It was organized, originally, as a battalion of six companies, for garrison duty at Fort Warren, in Boston Harbor. The six companies left the State May 26, 1862, and after a month's encampment at Washington, on Capitol Hill, embarked for the Peninsula, joining General McClellan's Army July 3, 1862, just after Malvern Hill. It was assigned to Griffin's (2d) Brigade, Morell's (1st) Division, Fifth Corps; four more companies joined the regiment soon after.

It has become manifest that rebels returning from the armies of the insurgents, and other disaffected and disloyal persons, are, throughout this military district, organizing bands to act during the ensuing season as guerrillas and banditti. It is intended to resort to the most vigorous measures to suppress these outlaws; and to this end it is enjoined upon all commands, scouting parties, officers and soldiers, when these out-laws are detected in bushwhacking, marauding or committing other depredations, as guerrillas or bandits, upon the peaceable inhabitants of the country, to shoot them when found. All able-bodied men in the vicinity where acts of murder, marauding, robbery or larceny, shall be committed by guerrillas or bandits, are required to make immediate pursuit, and render all the assistance in their power to secure the destruction or capture of the crimin

How Gen. Banks's army was saved. Williamsport, Md., May 26, 1862. dear father and mother: You have probably heard by this time of the three days fighting from Strasburgh and Front Royal to Martinsburgh. Our company and company B were ordered to Front Royal, in the mountains, twelve miles from Strasburgh, last Friday, and when we got within two miles of our destination we heard cannonading. The Major ordered the baggage to stop, and our two companies dashed on, and found several companies of our infantry and two pieces of artillery engaged with several thousand of the enemy. Just as we arrived on the field, Col. Parem, who had command of our forces, rode up to me and ordered me to take one man and the two fastest horses in our company, and ride for dear life to Gen. Banks's headquarters in Strasburgh for reenforcements. The direct road to Strasburgh was occupied by the enemy, so I was obliged to ride round by another, seventeen miles. I rode the seventeen miles in fifty-fi
