tober, 1861. Its officers were Dexter H. Follett, Boston, captain: Augustus P. Martin, Boston, and Caleb C. E. Mortimer, Charlestown, first lieutenants: Valentine M. Dunn and Philip H. Tyler, Charlestown, second lieutenants. Soon after the battery reached Washington, Captain Follett resigned his commission, and Lieutenant Martin was appointed to fill the vacancy. The Fourth Light Battery was recruited at Camp Chase, Lowell, and formed part of Major-General Butler's command to invade Louisiana. The nucleus of this battery was a section of light artillery in the Second Division of Militia at Salem, commanded by Captain Charles H. Manning. When recruited to a full battery, it left Boston in the steam-transport Constitution, Nov. 21, 1861. Its officers were Charles H. Manning, of Salem, captain: Frederick W. Reinhardt, Boston, and Joseph R. Salla, Boston, first lieutenants: Henry Davidson and George W. Taylor, of Salem, second lieutenants. The Fifth Light Battery was recruit

sick, are not removed to hospitals, but are left to share the same privations, and breathe the same foul air, with those whose physical vigor is not yet broken. In contrast, allow me to state, that the prisoners at Fort Warren are allowed certainly equal fare with the garrison, which consists of five companies of loyal Massachusetts troops, and are permitted all liberties consistent with retaining them upon the island; and that traitors, like Mr. Mason, of Virginia, and Mr. Slidell, of Louisiana, whose hands are red with the best blood of Massachusetts, are treated with certainly equal consideration (as to quarters, fare, and attendance, and all privileges consistent with retaining them in custody) with the officers of that loyal battalion. These facts and this contrast, sir, are sickening to many of our people, and are especially painful to those who are closely related, by friendship or blood, to our prisoners in the hands, and at the mercy, of the rebels. I submit to you, wit

Agencies were also formed in Baltimore anm as the Eastern and Western Bay-State Regiments, were sent from the State to Louisiana without a single commissioned officer. Persons selected by General Butler ha Thirty-first, were directed by the Governor, upon joining their regiments in Louisiana, to make a careful examination of the qualifications of the gentlemen acting and Sixth Companies of Light Artillery, were in the Department of the Gulf in Louisiana. The Twenty-eighth Regiment of Infantry and the First Regiment of Cavalry wear, at different points,—from the valley of the Shenandoah to the lowlands of Louisiana. In the year before, they had been the first to reach Washington, and to plakeep step to the music of the Union, in the far-off plains of Mississippi and Louisiana.

The Thirty-first Regiment, under Butler's command, on the first day of May, was the first to land, and take possessio The landing was effected without difficulty, though threats and insults met them as they put their feet on the soil of Louisiana. Our great admiral, Farragut, had silenced Forts Jackson and St. Philip, and opened the Mississippi for the advance ofms in the hands of colored soldiers. All else is blood-stained vanity. He referred to the action of General Butler in Louisiana, in organizing a negro regiment, and to General Banks, when, overtaking the little slave girl on her way to freedom, h the front, and take command, the regiment had left the State. He joined it, however, at New York, and went with it to Louisiana. The Eleventh Light Battery, to serve for nine months, was recruited by Captain Edward J. Jones, at Camp Meigs, at R

for instituting inquiries affecting the comfort, and possibly the lives, of Massachusetts soldiers. I would respectfully ask the insertion of this letter in your paper, confident that no other explanation can be needed, at least by the friends of the soldiers in Camp Meigs. On the 30th of January, the Governor wrote to the President of the United States,— I desire permission earnestly to recommend to you that Brigadier-General George L. Andrews, commanding the Corps d'afrique in Louisiana, be promoted to the rank of major-general. The command is so extensive and important, and General Andrews has been so identified with the undertaking of organizing colored troops in the Department of the Gulf, that it seems to me every way most desirable and important that he should have the rank and staff that would best enable him successfully to carry on the work. He is a most accomplished and scientific soldier, who has done credit to every rank in which he has hitherto served, and w

credit of the State. The act of Congress, passed July 4, allowing naval credits, also made it lawful for the executive of any of the loyal States to send recruiting agents into any of the States in rebellion, except Arkansas, Tennessee, and Louisiana, to recruit volunteers, who should be credited to the State procuring the enlistment. Governor Andrew had, long before the law passed, pressed upon the War Department the justice and importance of such a measure. He argued that it would relie I beg leave to return to them, through you, my most cordial and sincere acknowledgment of this token of their patriotic attachment to the land of their father. Colonel N. A. M. Dudley, commanding the Thirty-first Massachusetts Regiment in Louisiana, wrote to the Governor, proposing to raise and organize a brigade of colored troops in that department. The proposition was favorably regarded by the Governor, who wrote to Secretary Stanton, requesting permission to be given; the troops to be

nd subsequent distraction in regard to the re-establishment of government would have been avoided. We find in the last volume of his letters one addressed to Mr. Conway, who had charge of the commissary department of the Freedmen's Bureau in Louisiana. The first page of the letter in the copying-book is so indistinct that it cannot be read; but, from the subsequent pages, we judge that it had reference to the condition of affairs in the South, and from those we quote:— The waste of wacolumn of march with their old uniforms, each command carrying its tattered flags, some of which had waved over fifty battle-fields, in the valleys of Virginia, and on the mountains of Tennessee; had followed the fortunes of Butler and Banks in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas; and had been unfurled where Burnside and Sherman had led in the Carolinas and in Georgia,—a sight was presented which awakened the most patriotic and sublime thoughts in the heart of every loyal person.
