ler, Monday night, April 22, 1861. He changed his mind, and early the next morning the two regiments joined hands in vigorous preparations for that strange, eventful march on the Capital, which has no parallel in history. In the mean time, two companies of the Massachusetts troops had seized the railway station, and there found a locomotive engine disabled and concealed. Does any one know any thing about this machine? inquired General Butler. Our shop made that engine, General, said Charles Homans, of the Beverly Light Guard, as he looked sharply at it. I guess I can put her in order and run her. --Do it, said the General; and it was soon done, for that regiment was full of engineers, workers in metal, and mechanics of all kinds. It seemed like a providential organization, made expressly, with its peculiar leader, for the work in hand. Such impediments of civil authority, hostile feeling, armed resistance, and destructive malignity, would have appalled almost any other man and b

I felt it mnd therein a small, rusty, dismantled locomotive, portions of which had been removed in order to disable her. I turned to the men, who stood in line in front of the depot, and said: Do any of you know anything about such a machine as this? Charles Homans, a private of Company E, stepped forward and took a good look at the engine and replied: That engine was made in our shop; I guess I can fit her up and run her. Go to work, and pick out some men to help you. Homans at once began his wor

ay, taken the locomotives to pieces, and hidden them. Terrible stories reached Butler of a great force of Confederates at Annapolis Junction. He did not believe them, and moved on, after taking formal military possession of Annapolis and the railway to Annapolis Junction. Two Massachusetts companies seized the railway station, in which they found a disabled locomotive concealed. Does any one know anything about this machine? inquired Butler. Our shop made that engine, general. said Charles Homans, of the Beverly Light Guard. I guess I can put her in order and run her. Do it, said the general: and it was soon done, for that regiment was full of engineers and mechanics. It was a remarkable regiment. Theodore Winthrop said that if the words were given, Poets, to the front! or, Painters, present arms! or, Sculptors, charge bayonets! there would be ample responses. The hidden rails were hunted up and found in thickets, ravines, and bottoms of streams, and the road was soon in s

it was late and dark. Sanborn to dine — unexpected, but always welcome. January 12. Copied and completed my lines for the evening. Found a large assemblage of members and invited guests [of the Authors' Club]; a dais and chair prepared for me, Colonel Higginson standing on my right. Many presentations — Gilder and Clyde Fitch, Owen Wister, Norman Hapgood. Aldrich [T. B.] took me in to dinner and sat on my right, Hon. John D. Long on my left; next beyond A. sat Homans Womans. Mrs. Charles Homans. I despaired of making my jingle tell in so large and unfamiliar a company. At last I took courage and read it, bad as I thought it. To my surprise, it told, and created the merriment which had been my object so far as I had any. My Battle Hymn was sung finely by a male quartette. Colonel Higginson and I were praised almost out of our senses. A calendar, got up with much labor, was presented to each of us. January 13. To church, to take down my vanity after last evening's laudat
