At that time, parts of two Irish regiments had been recruiting, one of which was designated the Twenty-ninth, which was encamped at Framingham. It was, however, found expedient to take the men from Framingham, and mass them with the Twenty-eighth, which was in Camp Cameron, at Cambridge. On the 7th of November, after the consolidation, the Twenty-eighth Regiment had seven hundred and fifteen men. On that day, the Adjutant-General addressed a letter to Major-General Butler, by direction of the Governor, calling his attention to the fact that the men had not been armed, uniformed, or equipped, which General Butler had informed the Governor he had authority from Washington to do. The regiment had received no aid or attention whatever, from his Headquarters. The Governor, therefore, wished to be

ince he was inaugurated. I had known him when in Congress, and when I lived in the West. He knew me, and I passed an agreeable half-hour with him. At five o'clock, I went to the depot, half an hour before the cars started, but could get no seat. They were packed; and I stood up for fifteen hours, from Washington to Jersey City. Nov. 6.—Arrived at the Astor House wearied and worn. Made a few calls upon relatives and friends, and, not having slept for thirty-six hours, retired early. Nov. 7.—Rained all day. Nothing talked of but the presidential election. Left in the Fall River steamer for home, and arrived at Boston. Nov. 8.—Election day, having been absent just three weeks.

Plunkett, of Pittsfield, for Lieutenant-Governor; S. O. Lamb, of Greenfield, for Secretary of State; Thomas C. Amory, Jr., of Boston, for Treasurer; Arthur F. Devereux, of Salem, for Auditor; and Horatio G. Parker, of Cambridge, for Attorney-General. The election took place on Tuesday, the 7th of November, and resulted in a complete triumph of the Republican party; electing their State ticket by a large plurality, and an overwhelming majority of members in both branches of the Legislature. Our regiments and batteries had all come home; their battleflags had been returned, some of them to the State authorities, and were tastefully displayed on the columns of the Doric Hall in the State House. Some of them were held by the United-States mustering officer, who had received orders to fo
