tion, to bring back an answer to the fundamental question, On what legal basis are we to rest! Please give us as early an answer to this question as you can, so that we may prepare to go. Yours, Wilder Dwight. G. H. Gordon. On the thirtieth of April I received from Philadelphia the following despatch:-- Geo. H. Gordon, 20 Court Street, Have got authority. See full despatch to Governor Andrew. Rush right forward. Home to-morrow evening. Wilder Dwight. So the last conditionApril. It is to be remembered that this regiment was not accepted by the President for the war, under his own call, on the third of May, for thirty-nine regiments of infantry; but it was accepted and authorized by the President, before the thirtieth of April, in response to my own application. It is also worthy of note, that, on the nineteenth of the month, Governor Andrew, in the following letter, became himself, for his friend, an applicant for a commission in our regiment. The letter is

So for this reason and for those already given, Jackson determined to attack Milroy: and he would begin his movement so secretly that his enemies should be misled. On the twenty-ninth of April, Ashby made demonstrations in force towards Harrisonburg. They were repeated on the 30th. Banks appeared to be quietly at rest. In the afternoon of the thirtieth of April Jackson left his camp: it was soon occupied by Ewell. Straight onward to Port Republic, on the eastern side of the Shenandoah River, Jackson directed his march. The day was rainy,--indeed for the past ten days heavy rains had fallen. Do their best, the troops made but five miles; on the next they made but five; the next, the second of May, the struggle with the mud continued. By nightfall Jackson had passed Lewiston to a bivouac between that point and Brown's Gap. On the 3d, by th
