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 Readville. It left Massachusetts on the third day of October, under command of Captain Jones, with orders to report for duty to the Adjutant-General of the army at Washington. This was the only nine months battery raised in the State. Thus, in December, 1862, Massachusetts had in active service fifty-three regiments of infantry, one regiment and three unattached companies of cavalry, twelve companies of light artillery, two companies of sharpshooters, and three companies of heavy artillery, which were distributed as follows: Twenty-seven regiments of infantry, seven companies of light artillery, two battalions of cavalry, and two companies of sharpshooters, in the Army of the Potomac, and in Virginia and Maryland; thirteen regiments of infan

ccept it after long delays, Mr. Maxwell has received no compensation whatever for his labor and expenses. He is a man of small means, and it is hard so great a burden should rest on him, for he acted in good faith. If the Legislature should reimburse him, I believe the case, if properly presented, would be favorably considered by the Federal authorities, and the money repaid to the Commonwealth. We believe the claim of Mr. Maxwell was allowed. At the battle of Fredericksburg, in December, 1862, Sergeant Plunkett, of the Twenty-first Regiment, lost both his arms. The color-bearer had been killed. Plunkett sprang forward, seized the colors, and carried them in advance of the regiment. Shortly after, he was severely wounded in both arms, and fell forward, grasping the colors in his hand. They are now in the State House, stained with his blood. Both arms were amputated. He was sent to hospital, and recovered, and is now living at his home in Worcester County. His case was

It arrived at New Orleans in the early part of December, 1862, and during the months of December, 1862, and January and February, 1863, was stationed at Baton Rouge, La.

s. The report was laid before a committee of the Legislature, who on the 24th of April, 1862, reported a resolve, which would have enabled the Governor to enter into such a contract. The resolve passed the House without a division, and was defeated by a single vote in the Senate, in its passage to be enacted in the last hour of the session. The prospect of being able to effect any thing was now discouraging, while the danger became even more imminent, and the want more pressing. In December, 1862, General Totten wrote to the Governor,— It cannot be too strongly insisted on, that guns are needed; that we want many more, and those extremely large guns; and that the fabrication of them should be expedited, extended, and multiplied. In his message to the Legislature in January, 1863, the Governor reviewed the history of his past efforts, and again pressed the matter upon their attention; and on the 30th of March, 1863, the act was passed appropriating one million of dollars
