Captain Forbes, of company C, Seventh Illinois, was detached ten miles south of Starkvill after starting on this morning of April twenty-second--offered the work to Captain Forbes, of company B, Seventh Illinois. Captain Forbes, whose command numbered Captain Forbes, whose command numbered only thirty-five men and officers, gladly accepted it., though knowing that, in order to rejoin his regiment, he would have to repulse any force which might be followd. And here comes one of the most amusing episodes of the whole affair.

I pray you to read these papers, and protect the right as occasion may offer. The protection of Boston Harbor, as the readers of this volume may know, was one of the darling objects of the Governor from the beginning of the war. Through the agency of John M.
