ation in 1865. On the thirteenth day of June, 1861, Dr. William J. Dale, of Boston, was appointed Surgeon-General of Massachusetts, with the rank of colonel. Dr. Dale and Dr. George H.

umber of letters received and answered by the Governor, the Adjutant-General, the Surgeon-General, and other department officers, during the years of this Rebellion: they fill more than three hundred 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 graphic description of the advance of the army to Bull Run; his services to the wounded assisted by Dr. Josiah Carter and Dr. Foye. Dr. Bell improvised a hospital in a small stone church near the battle-field, in which seventy-five wounded men were brought, before the rout of the Union army brought the church within the rebel lines, and forced a retreat. The Massachusetts regiments engaged in this battle were the First, Colonel Cowdin, the Eleventh, Colonel Clark, thre

in. A hundred and fifty men, who left Baltimore this morning, have not yet arrived. On the fourth day of April, Surgeon-General Dale made a report to the Governor, in which he submitted a plan of forwarding the sick and wounded men of the Massachuiment,—by five-o'clock train, to Boston, from Burnside's Division, all able to travel. This, on being referred to Surgeon-General Dale, was returned to the Governor, with this characteristic indorsement: The men came four hours ago; and I am sorry Iernor's correspondence. On the ninth day of April, the Governor writes to Colonel Frank E. Howe, New York, that Surgeon-General Dale had made arrangements by which to have an ambulance kept at the city stables, and that city horses would be furnisodden Field.

nt-Colonel Lincoln, of the Thirty-fourth Regiment, which was then being recruited, was placed in command of Camp Wool; and Colonel Maggi, of the Thirty-third Regiment, which was also being recruited, was placed in command of Camp Stanton. Surgeon-General Dale was instructed to have a surgeon at each of the camps, to examine recruits. These camps were intended for recruits who were to form new regiments; and Camp Cameron, at North Cambridge, under the command of the United States military com before Richmond, to the army under General Pope, before Washington. The losses in the Union army were very great. The Secretary of War telegraphed the Governor to send forward additional surgeons to take charge of the sick and wounded. Surgeon-General Dale was directed to make arrangements to comply with the request, and to send forward hospital stores. On the 1st of September, the Governor telegraphed to Mr. Stanton,— In obedience to your telegram received at five o'clock, Saturday a

arded at once for guard duty at that important post. Captain Collins, Lieutenant McKibben, and other United-States officers at Boston, also tendered their assistance at any place, and in any position where they could be of use. Surgeon-General William J. Dale also rendered valuable services by organizing a medical staff for the occasion, to take charge of whoever might be wounded or injured in the expected riot; in which he was ably assisted by Major Hooker, assistant Surgeon-General of the Commonwealth. Surgeon-General Dale detailed two surgeons to the Cooper-street Armory, one to Faneuil Hall, and one to the office of the assistant Quartermaster-General, United-States Army. They were directed to make their requisitions directly upon the Surgeon-General. Dressings were also forwarded to the various commands. The surgeons thus detailed were Dr. Ezra Palmer, surgeon of the Cadets; Dr. John P. Ordway, of the Eleventh Battery; and Dr. J. F. Harlow, of the Second Heavy Artiller

ing, for the benefit of the Massachusetts soldiers' relief agencies at Washington and elsewhere. The Governor said,— I take pleasure, in behalf of those agencies, in expressing gratitude for this contribution, and my sense of the practical benefit which will result from it. I know no better medium than these agencies through which such contributions will come more directly and efficiently to the comfort of our soldiers; and I will take immediate measures, upon consultation with Surgeon-General Dale and the chiefs of the various agencies, for the distribution of this sum among them. In addition to the money raised at the Music Hall, it appears that a large sum was also contributed by the Republican committee of Boston, assisted by Mayor Lincoln, to furnish Thanksgiving dinners to Massachusetts soldiers in camp and in hospitals. We find on the files of the Governor a letter addressed to him by Mr. Stebbins, dated Boston, Thanksgiving morning, Nov. 24, 1864, giving a detailed
