olored troops. Sumner's only reference to the attempted displacement of Seward, discovered in his correspondence, is a single sentence of a letter to Dr. Lieber, Jan. 23, 1863: The pressure for the expulsion of Seward increases by letters and fresh arrivals. The defeat of McClellan's army before Richmond in June, 1862, marks an important stage in the controversy concerning emancipation and the arming of negroes, whether free or slave. This appears in the debates in the Senate, July 9 and 10, particularly in the speeches of Sherman, Fessenden, Collamer, and Rice of Minnesota, A committee of senators, headed by Trumbull, waited on the President to urge more vigorous measures,—among them the arming of negroes. New York Tribune, July 21, 1862.—none of whom had been disposed hitherto to move in that direction. Congress passed two acts which expressly authorized the employment of persons of African descent in the military or naval service. The President called, July 4, for three

the shoulderblades. He soon returned, however, to his post, and remained in active service more than six months after the surrender of Gen. Lee's Army. He afterwards served the Commonwealth as Deputy Quartermaster-general, from Aug. 24, 1866, to Jan. 25, 1872; and he is now Warden of the State Prison, to which office he was appointed in December, 1871. Lieut. Edwin F. Richardson received a commission as First Lieutenant of a company in the 22d Regiment, Oct. 1, 1861, which he resigned June 10, 1862. He soon afterwards enlisted as a private, became a Sergeant, was mortally wounded in battle, May 18, 1864, and died on the 26th of the same month. He nobly redeemed his pledge at the ovation on the 23d of July, 1861, when he is reported to have said, he was determined to go back to the seat of war, and to fight till the war was over; and if need be he would leave his bones to bleach on southern soil.

natural humor found infinite fun in the various little contretemps of the journey, and from every small disaster he managed to extract some pleasure. Adventure was his element, and he found an attraction in the Western desert, which, as he fancied, would determine his choice of an occupation. But no Western ranches or droves of horses were to justify his dreams. At Fort Laramie, on his journey out, he heard of the seven days battles before Richmond. In a letter dated Fort Laramie, June 10, 1862, he says: The officers gave us their telegrams, which told all they knew, and these said McClellan fought seven days, retreated, and lost twenty thousand men. We do not know whether that is true or not, and I don't know about Jim or Charley (Lowell). If anything has happened to either of them, father, I shall want to enlist as soon as I get back. While at Fort Bridger, he received a letter telling him of Lieutenant James Lowell's death. He forwarded the letter to the companion from who
