I replied, Hodges, are you willing to go as a private? Yes, said he, I mean to go any how, for I can't stay at home in this war. So we went down to Faneuil Hall, and I put him into the Charlestown City Guards as a private, and so he went to Washington. I there detailed him to write for me at Headquarters, and procured his appointment as paymaster of the regiment. While he served in the ranks, and afterwards, I never knew a more energetic, active, attentive, devoted soldier.

He often rode with me, and was very fearless. When we went on the Bull Run campaign, my regiment, the Fifth Ma

In simplicity, manliness, and other similar qualities, I never knew his superior. He was a universal favorite in my family, and I never heard one of his college mates speak of him except in terms of praise. And Mr. Shattuck says of him:— Hodges was a very diligent student, and by constant application for more than three years, had become a thorough master of the principles of the common law.
