Mr. Sumner brought it before the Senate, and denounced in strong language the order of General Stone, which drew from that officer a letter equally denunciatory of the Senator, and an implied challenge to a duel. Mr. Sumner took no notice of either. But the matter did not end here. On the thirtieth day of December, the Governor wrote a long letter to Major-General McClellan, in reply to a letter from Brigadier-General Stone, which had been forwarded and apparently approved by General McClellan, in which the order issued by General Stone, directing the arrest of the fugitives, is defended, and an attempt is made to belittle the State of Massachusetts, and in which he speaks of the usurpations of these ambitious State authorities. It also speaks of the soldiers of the Twentieth Regiment being

ant charge of the rebels under General Pettigrew, and also for its coolness while recrossing the creek, which had been flooded by the rebels. Though it was under fire several hours during the day, its only loss was six men wounded. On the 30th December, the regiment was attached to General Heckman's brigade. On Jan. 14, it was attached to Colonel J. Jourdan's brigade, with which it remained during the remainder of its term of service. On the 26th, it moved to Camp Jourdan, near Fort Toding by rail to Newbern, where it went into quarters in the unfinished barracks on the south side of Trent River. It was assigned to the brigade commanded by Colonel T. J. C. Amory, and, Dec. 11, took part in the expedition to Goldsborough. Dec. 30.—Company G was detached to perform outpost duty at Brice's Ferry. This post was garrisoned by this company as long as the regiment remained in North Carolina.

jor Pope were engineers engaged to lay a telegraph-wire to connect the States with the Russian dominions, and received their commissions from the Governor, as an honor due them for undertaking so great and valuable an enterprise. J. F. B. Marshall, of Weston, paymaster-general, with the rank of colonel, Dec. 28. Jarvis D. Braman, of Boston, assistant paymaster-general, with the rank of major, Dec. 29. H. Sidney Everett, of Boston, assistant adjutant-general, with the rank of major, Dec. 30. The year 1864 was one of the most important of the war. A presidential election had taken place which resulted in the triumphant re-election of Abraham Lincoln, and of a Congress pledged to a vigorous prosecution of the war; General Grant and the Army of the Potomac had fought their way through Virginia to the lines before Petersburg and Richmond; the Mississippi had been opened from its source to its mouth; and Sherman, with his Army of the Tennessee and the Cumberland, was making his

hey were not well received by him, and in the heat of the moment he made remarks not only disparaging to the agents themselves, but to the State which they represented. Like a true and gallant soldier, as every one knows General Sherman to be, he wrote to Governor Andrew, expressing his regret for the words spoken in haste, and took the occasion to speak of the two regiments of Massachusetts volunteers in his command, in commendatory words which their services made so proper. On the 30th of December, the Governor wrote,— The Secretary of the Commonwealth will place on the nomination book, to be justices of the peace and of the quorum thereof in this Commonwealth, the names of— Brevet-Brigadier-General Horace B. Sargent, late aide-de-camp. Lieutenant-Colonel Henry Lee, Jr., late aide-de-camp. Colonel Harrison Ritchie, senior aide-de camp. Lieutenant-Colonel John W. Wetherell, aide-de-camp.
