d, by both rank and file, to aid me in my effort to organize my regiment. Men, money, sympathy, influence I — it seemed as if all the wealth, all the precious life-blood, all that nearly a hundred years of social and intellectual development had garnered, were offered for the sacrifice. I much regret that I have no reliable record of the order in which applications for commissions were received; but by the best evidence I have, the first applicant, Greely S. Curtis, was followed by A. B. Underwood. Then came Wilder Dwight, and within a few days George L. Andrews, who made personal application for the office of lieutenantcolonel. The following names, with residences, I find among my notes, upon a sheet bearing evidence that they were written in the order in which I received the application. I copy them precisely as they were written in the spring of 1861: William B. Williams, Quarter-Master-Sergeant, .Cadets. Dr. Luther Parks, Surgeon. Charles E. Parker, Norfolk Ho

ations of the proximity of the enemy, I made the best disposition I could to repel any attempt to cross the river by ford or ferry, or to annoy us from the other side. The distance across the river where the pontoon bridge had been located was less than one sixth of a mile,--not a comfortable distance, with long-ranged rifles that kill at a mile axd a quarter. Two companies, well concealed, covered the ford, with a practicable road at their backs across the mountain,--a road built by Captain Underwood, of Co. I, to save exposure from the fire that an enemy could deliver from the commanding eminence upon the Shenandoah side,--deliver plumply down upon the tow-path of the canal or the track of the railway, where the only possible passage had been chiselled out of the side of the mountain. It was late at night on the nineteenth day of August that I lay down on a bundle of straw and single blanket to sleep; but I had hardly lost myself, when the officer of the guard ushered a stranger

The remainder of the regiment then moved on to where their knapsacks h Advancing, though unsteadily, for a little space, they came again in good range of Company I, and were received by Captain Underwood with a hot fire, delivered, like the first, with perfect coolness; upon which a second time they turned, and fled pk Company I. Advancing abreast of Jackson's column, the infantry threw out skirmishers, who were soon engaged with Captain Underwood. The skirmish lasted about ten minutes, and was very severe, but it was sustained and replied to by Company I in arly, and came up to our regiment at about one o'clock at night. Rather a severe skirmish was then going on between Captain Underwood's company and the enemy. The darkness of the night concealed the foe, while our column, formed in the middle of th

nt elect. Boston Journal, Feb. 22, 1873. Scholars, merchants, politicians, and veteran Antislavery leaders gladly gave their names to it. Among the signers were soldiers of distinguished rank in the Civil War, who bore in several instances on their persons the marks of their heroism,—William F.

Underwood, severely wounded at Wauhatchie and maimed for life; Charles Francis Adams, Jr., who led the colored troops into Richmond, the first to enter the Confederate capital; and Henry S. Russell, who served in Libby prison as well as in the field. The petitioners were supported by an appeal from other States, in which Chief-Justice Chase, William C. Bryant, Frederick Douglass, Gerrit Smith, and Governor Noyes of Ohio joined. A remonstrance was sent in, but it contained few signatures, and th

their officers could be heard endeavoring to urge on the men, they could not be brought to another attack. At Bartonsville, some miles beyond, they made another attack, and were again repulsed by the companies of Captains Abbott, Cogswell, and Underwood. At Kernstown the same companies repulsed an attack by infantry. At Williamsport, where they arrived about nine P. M., May 25th, Captain Abbott was put in command of five companies, to hold the Virginia bank until the wagons and all the debrre entering the army he had fairly embarked in the study of the profession of the law, to which his tastes had decidedly inclined him almost from early boyhood. Immediately after graduation he entered the office of Hon. Charles R. Train and A. B. Underwood, Esq. of Boston, and remained as a student with them until the spring of 1861. He then went into the office of Richard H. Dana, Jr. and Francis E. Parker, Esqs., leaving them to enter the Law School of Harvard College in the following summe

pport. At the word of command they moved forward with a cheer. As they climbed up the steep ascent, that full October moon made them but too plain marks for hostile fire; but they pressed on till the routed enemy was driven in confusion. Colonel Underwood wrote, that the Massachusetts Thirty-third on that night won the applause of the veteran Army of the Cumberland. When the brief struggle was over, along the slope of that steep hillside were strewn the wounded, the dying, the dead. Two a fight, I shall be quite as well satisfied. He had been promised a lieutenancy in a New Jersey regiment, but he preferred not to leave his own; and he was at length rewarded, as appears from the following extract from a letter of Lieutenant-Colonel Underwood:— I always thought your son did a noble thing when he preferred to go into the service at once in the ranks to waiting on the uncertainties of a commission which had been promised him some time. His conduct has been uniform with
