That paper does not contain the names of all who received commissions in the second regiment; nor does it name some who undoubtedly had been promised a commission at an earlier date thanave, the ardent, and faithful, conspicuous in the most exacting demands of his rank; Savage and Cary, Abbott, Williams, and Robeson, in the tornado of fire that swept their heroic souls from earth,--all falling where only the brave fall; Mudge and Shaw, with youth, with frank and manly hearts, leading their regiments into the very jaws of hell without flinching or faltering. At this hour they pass again, In dim procession led, reminding of a sacred companionship, born of patriotic devotion

My military family consisted of officers taken from the Second Massachusetts Regiment; this was due to the kindness of the Secretary of War, who promoted, at my request, to the rank of captains, Lieutenant H. B. Scott, as assistant adjutant-general, Lieutenant Wheaton, as commissary of subsistence, and Lieutenant M. M. Hawes, as quartermaster. Lieutenant Robert G. Shaw, who subsequently, as colonel of the First Massachusetts Colored Regiment, was killed at Fort Wagner, served as an aid on my staff. Although General Pope was at Washington, in the District of Columbia, we began to receive at Little Washington, through the newspapers, furious orders, intended to inflame his army with zeal,--No lines of retreat, No bases of supply, Live upon the country, We have always seen the backs of our enemy, Discard your false notions, etc. On the 14th of
