Captain, Benjarnia F. Remington; Lieutenant, A. M. Tower; Lieutenant, Henry B. Brastow; Surgeon, Nathaniel Millar. They number 130 men, and carry with them 110 horses, eight guns of very heavy calibre, and the other requisite arms and ammunition. The horses are fine, spirited-looking animals, and appeared to be in that condition which will enable them to sustain a good deal of field hardship.--Herald, April 20. The Eighth Regiment of Massachusetts Volunteers, under command of Colonel Timothy Munroe, passed through New York on their march to the south. It is composed of six companies: Newburyport Artillery, Newburyport Light Infantry, Gloucester Artillery, Lynn City Guards, Capt. Hundson, Lynn Light Infantry, Capt. Frazer, Lafayette Guards, Marblehead, Capt. Orne, all of Essex County, numbering twelve hundred. They are all picked men, those of Gloucester and Marblehead being stout and sturdy fishermen; those from Lynn and Newburyport chiefly shoemakers. Many of the members of

ere under orders to go to Washington via Baltimore, and not a word had been said to them or to anybody else, that the route through Baltimore was not open. The direct orders from the Secretary of War to Governor Andrew being that they should go through Baltimore, they left Philadelphia for Baltimore, arriving on the 19th. I stayed behind to see that the other two regiments sailed for Fortress Monroe, and to finish all needed preparations, and to wait for the Eighth Regiment, under Col. Timothy Munroe, to get in readiness with equipments. During the 18th of April, the utmost diligence was used. In the afternoon the regiment was paraded before the State House, where Governor Andrew made a very appropriate, patriotic, and brilliant address, to which I added a few words. While we were speaking to the soldiers, the tailors busied themselves in the rear of the regiment, sewing the buttons on the backs of the overcoats of the men. There was still another reason for the delay of t

tress Monroe, Va., August 25, 1861. Special Order No. 13. Major-General Butler will prepare eight hundred and sixty troops for an expedition to Hatteras Inlet, North Carolina, to go with Commodore Stringham, commanding Home Squadron, to capture several batteries in that neighborhood. The troops will be as follows: Two hundred men from Camp Butler and six hundred from Camp Hamilton, with a suitable number of commissioned officers, and one company (B) of the Second Artillery from Fortress Munroe. They will be provided with ten days rations and water, and one hundred and forty rounds of ammunition. General Butler will report, as soon as he has his troops prepared, to Flag-Officer Stringham, and he will be ready to embark at one o'clock to-morrow. As soon as the object of the expedition is attained the detachment will return to Fortress Monroe. Captain Tallmadge, chief quartermaster, will provide a detachment of eight hundred and sixty men for the expedition to Hatteras Inlet, w

eviation of the condition of our men, duly certified to us, would at once be followed by a corresponding difference in favor of their prisoners in our hands. The Secretary of War, feeling deeply the hardships of our captured soldiers, approved of the suggestion, Gen. J. W. Shaffer. and gave me permission to carry the plan into execution. This I proposed to do by placing Confederate officers to the number of some three thousand, either upon Hatteras Bank or at Sewall's Point near Fortress Munroe, both of which were nearly isothermal with Richmond in climate, and there treating them with scrupulous exactness to the same shelter, clothing, and fare which our men received, furnishing them while thus faring, with plenty of pens and paper, and every facility for communicating with the Confederacy. The effect could not be doubted. While I was engaged in preparing a proper encampment, the subject was referred by the Secretary of War to the general-in-chief of the army, Halleck, and my pl
