in comparative quiet; but whether the indefatigable captain ever succeeded in collecting his truant flock, or found any end to his restless search, we never knew. In the morning Camp Stanton was established at Boxford. Here we pitched our tents and remained about six weeks, changing our location once during our stay. On the 9th of September we were mustered into the service of the United States by Lieut. M. Elder of the regular army, and received one month's pay in advance. During September the Boston Journal made the following notes regarding us: [Friday, Sept. 5, 1862. An order was promulgated yesterday that the 10th Mass. Battery, Lieut. H. H. Granger acting commander, should be mustered into the service Tuesday next, and that they should proceed to Washington on Wednesday, Sept. 10. The Battery is full and the boys are anxious to go; and such of them as are on furlough are requested to note the above arrangement and govern themselves accordingly. Marriage i

y. From this time the hardships lie underwent multiplied, so that when at last it was permitted to send him to the hospital he had not sufficient vitality left to reach there. He was an efficient officer and a good soldier, and was much respected by the entire Company, which deeply lamented his death. Sergt. George H. Putnam was promoted to fill the vacancy on the 8th of August. John C. Frost also left us the same date, and was discharged from the service for disability the following September. Before we left this camp, a large mail, which had been accumulating at Washington for three weeks, arrived, and opened to us once more the outer world from which we had been so completely excluded. July 31, we moved forward and took post at Sulphur Springs. Morning reports. 1863. June 26. Battery arrived at Maryland Heights at 10 o'clock A. M. June 27. Gen.

t day. The others, after various refusals, succeeded in getting passage in some division ambulances, well filled without them. Two hours after they left, Rebel guerrillas were roaming through the camp. The cavalry that we had seen crossing were part of a large force destined on a reconnoissance under Gen. Pleasanton. September 13. Supported by Gen. Warren with the Second Corps, they met and pressed back Stuart's cavalry across the Rapidan. Some time after this, about the middle of September, I received information which induced me to believe, or which satisfied me, that Longstreet's corps, or a portion of it, from Gen. Lee's army, had been detached to the southwest. Immediately upon receiving this information, and without waiting for instructions, I sent my cavalry across the Rappahannock, drove the enemy across the Rapidan, and subsequently followed with my whole army, occupying Culpepper and the position between the Rappahannock and the Rapidan.— Gen. Meade: Testimony befo

le in eating supper, and when it was over we soon went to bed; that is, we went in a body to our chosen spot near the centre of the room, as far from the window as possible, and lay down. There was no glass in the windows, and as the month was September, and the prison on the river bank, it always became very cold before morning; so we used to lie down as close together as we could get, and when one wanted to turn we all had to turn in concert.
