It was the first three years regiment that reached Washington in the war. The Second, which was recruited at Camp Andrew, in West Roxbury, left the State on the 8th of July, for the front. The Seventh, which was recruited at Camp Old Colony, in Taunton, left for Washington on the 11th of July. The Ninth, which was recruited and organized on Long Island, in Boston Harbor, left the State in the steamer Ben De Ford, on the 24th of June, for Washington. The Tenth, which was recruited in the weste Third, Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Regiments should retain their own designations, and should not be confounded with the three years regiments. Therefore the next three years regiment which was recruited by Colonel Couch at Camp Old Colony, near Taunton, was called the Seventh Regiment. The Eighth Regiment, being a three months regiment, retained its original number; and the next three years regiment was called the Ninth Regiment, which was composed of men of Irish birth, and their immediate d

He urges that stronger measures be taken to seal up the Southern ports, and again offers him the privilege of buying the steamers Cambridge and Pembroke. The Governor was unable to visit the camp at Taunton, and witness the departure of the Seventh Regiment from the State. He wrote an excuse to Colonel Couch, in which he expressed warmly and sincerely his regrets that business required his presence at the capital. I am reluctant, he says, to permit any regiment to depart from Massachusetts without a chance to bid it God-speed, that I was even inclined to delay you for a day or two in order to secure such an opportunity; but, on reflection, it seemed to me unwise to postpone for a mere sentim

rnment of the State during a period of unexampled difficulty and responsibility. What he has done for Massachusetts outweighs all that Massachusetts has done for him. The motion of Mr. Foster was carried with but three dissenting voices in a convention composed of more than a thousand delegates. The other State officers were nominated for re-election without opposition, with the exception of Mr. Foster, who declined being a candidate again for Attorney-General; and Chester I.

Bullock, of Worcester, being called upon, addressed the convention in a long and eloquent speech, which spoke the sentiments of the party, was listened to with marked attention, and was applauded to the echo. A series of resolutions was reported from the committee, by J. D.
