Mr. Cushing did offer his services in the field to the Governor of Massachusetts, but they were not accepted.

I express it as my conviction before God, that it is the duty of every American citizen to rally round the flag of his country.

Seventh Regiment, in a fight with Marylanders, had been defeated with great loss; that Norfolk and Washington would doubtless be in the hands of the insurgents in a day or two; that General Scott had certainly resigned his commission and offered his services to Virginia; This story was so persistently iterated and reiterated, that it was believed. Scott was eulogized by the press in the interest of the conspirators. And now, said the New Orleans Picayune, how many of those gallant men who, in various positions, have for years gloried in Winfield Scott, will linger in the ranks o

Wine or something stronger had put his caution asleep, and he communicated his plans freely. He was a Knight of the Golden Circle, and was charged with the duty of procuring from the Mexican Congress permission for American citizens to construct a railway from the Rio Grande, through Chihuahua and Sonora, to the Gulf of California. He intended to get permission to commence the work immediately, with five thousand men, armed ostensibly for defense against the Indians. Once in the country, these men would seize and hold possession of those States until sufficiently re-enforced to make the occupation permanent. This was to be the end of the railway enterprise.

We left New Orleans for the North on the morning of Wednesday, the 17th, April, 1861. and spent that night at the little village of Canton, in Mississippi. We went out in search of a resident of the place, whom we had met at Niagara Falls the previous summer. He was absent.
