list of all the officers and enlisted men that were ever commissioned or enlisted in the second Massachusetts regiment of Infantry, see The Record of the Second Massachusetts Infantry, by Rev. A. H. Quint, pp. 298, 514. That Messrs. Wheaton and Motley were very early applicants in April, and that all the others were actively engaged in recruiting companies early in May, there is abundant proof. Among the first to offer aid, person, counsel, and energetic assistance was Wilder Dwight, of Brookline. It was on the eighteenth day of April, 1861, that he first made known, in lines written hastily on a scrap of paper, his desire to go with me. The following is a copy of the paper:-- I simply want to say, that if you see any chance to get a berth to go with the first volunteers from Massachusetts, keep me in mind, and give me an early opportunity. That's what I want, Captain Gordon. Yours, (Signed) W. D. And it was on the same day, though later, in an interview with Dwight, t

the vision pictured by Scott of the clans of Rhoderick Dhu:--The wind's last breath had tossed in air Pennon and plaid and plumage fair; The next but swept a lone hill-side Where heath and fern were waving wide; The sun's last gleam had glinted back From spear and glaive, from targe and jack; The next all unreflected shone On bracken green and cold gray stone. At five o'clock in the morning, on the eleventh of July, the regiment forded for the first time the Potomac, at Williamsport in Maryland, and entered upon the sacred soil of Virginia. Its destination was Martinsburg, the headquarters of General Patterson, to whom, as ordered by General Scott, I was to report. Never again was the Second to make that march in such style. The officers were in full uniform, adorned with epaulettes and sashes. The ranks were full, a thousand men, marching in close order, moving with the military precision of veterans, and keeping time to the music of a full band, which echoed through the s

of inquiry, letters offering money and aid, and clothing,--I will not dwell longer on this branch of the subject, but hasten on with a word of my encampment in West Roxbury. On the ninth of May, 1861, moved by the conviction that the men and officers selected for the regiment should be brought together in camp, I directed Mr. R shall get into Boston sometime this afternoon, h added, with one found. Fortunately the ground on which Mr. Copeland happened was the historic Brook Farm, in West Roxbury. Easily accessible, though isolated, its surface diversified with bill and vale, the spot was admirably adapted to all the requirements of an encampment. I co the third of August, the Governor grew rapidly in wisdom. From the eleventh of May to the eighth of July, 1861, the regiment was in camp on Brook Farm, in West Roxbury. To the discipline of that encampment is due the general character and reputation which attended the regiment, wherever it formed an element of an army. If I

streets rang with shouts of the multitude. So did the Virginians of Harper's Ferry receive the first Northern regiment that entered there during the war. At the most prominent point of the route, a young lady presented the regiment with a national color, accompanying it with an address. The music of the Star-spangled banner filled and swelled in every heart as the colorbearer accepted the offering. Then came the news that Joe Johnston had reached Manassas, that there was disaster at Bull Run, and that our troops, as they were called, were fugitives in Washington. Why our people so little appreciated the needs and requirements that make efficient soldiers, and why our countrymen rushed tumultuously to the defence of our national capital and across the Potomac into Virginia, without uniforms, and without discipline, ignorant of the virtue of obedience, discouraging and decryn ting it in others, I have intimated as the result of ignoring the method of creation and growth adopt

bearing among their men which, checking familiarity, inspired respect, the regular service never had superiors. To dwell upon their achievements, to recall their wellremembered and well-beloved forms, were an easy as it would be an instructive task; indeed, even now I cannot shut out their presence. They are here to the eye of memory in all their bloom of manly strength; and yet they are there, where they fell. Goodwin, so weak from sickness that he was carried to the battle-line of Cedar Mountain, to fall with his men on either hand; Dwight, the brave, 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, rem
