e and sufficiently. To which Mr. Cameron answered, Select the regiments yourself for Sherman, and supply him first. Same day, Colonel Browne, military secretary to the Governor, by order of His Excellency, addressed a note to General Butler, in which he proposed to assign to his command an Irish regiment, in the raising of which Patrick Donahoe, Esq., of Boston, took much interest. This was afterwards known as the Twenty-eighth Regiment. The receipt of this letter was acknowledged by Major Haggerty, of General Butler's staff, on the 24th, and information given that General Butler had gone to Portland, Me., and that his attention would be called to it as soon as he returned, which would be to-morrow evening. A letter was sent to General Sherman on the 23d by the Governor, requesting him to exert his personal efforts to secure for his command the regiments promised him, and prevent them from being diverted to General Butler or any other officer. The regiments designed for him wer
ible to realize it. There remains, however, the consciousness that they all fell nobly and bravely at the very front,—at the head of the regiment,—as a soldier should fall. A copy of these letters were also forwarded by the Governor to Mrs. Ogden Haggerty, Lenox, Mass., with a letter concluding with these words: With sincere and respectful regards, both for yourself and for Mrs. Shaw, to whom I beg especially to tender my cordial sympathy. Mrs. Haggerty was the mother of Mrs. Shaw, whose rMrs. Haggerty was the mother of Mrs. Shaw, whose residence was in the city of New York. Colonel Shaw was married only a few months before his death.

l leave the State with as good a regiment as any that has marched. March 30. The mustering officer who was here to-day is a Virginian, and has always thought it was a great joke to try to make soldiers of Niggers, but he tells me now that he has never mustered in so fine a set of men, though about twenty thousand had passed through his hands since September. The sceptics need only to come out here to be converted. On the 2d of May he was married to Anne Kneeland, daughter of Ogden Haggerty, Esq., of New York; and on the 28th of the same month he left Boston at the head of as fine and well drilled a regiment as had ever left the city. Their triumphal march through Boston has been often described. He himself wrote of it thus:— steamer de Molay, off Cape Hatteras, June 1, 1863. The more I think of the passage of the Fifty-fourth through Boston, the more wonderful it seems to me. Just remember our own doubts and fears, and other people's sneering and pitying rem
