ated words in which I acknowledged and accepted your nomination at our meeting on the 12th. That your convention saw fit to accord its highest honor to one who had been prominently and pointedly opposed to your party in the earnest and sometimes angry controversies of the last forty years is essentially noteworthy. That many of you originally preferred that the Liberal Republicans should present another candidate for President, and would more readily have united with us in the support of Adams or Trumbull, Davis or Brown, is well known. I owe my adoption at Baltimore wholly to the fact that I had already been nominated at Cincinnati, and that a concentration of forces upon any new ticket had been proved impracticable. Gratified as I am at your concurrence in the nominations, certain as I am that you would not have thus concurred had you not deemed me upright and capable, I find nothing in the circumstance calculated to inflame vanity or nourish self-conceit. But that your con

words harmonized. The song was soon finished, and the young actor received it the same evening. Next morning the theatre placards contained an announcement that Mr. Fox would sing a new patriotic song. The house was crowded; the song was sung, and the audience were wild with delight, for it touched the public heart with electrical effect at that moment. Eight times the singer was called out to repeat the song. When it was sung the ninth time the whole audience arose and joined in the chorus. On the following night, April 30, President Adams and his wife, and some of the heads of departments, with their families, were present, and the singer was called out time after time. It was repeated night after night in the theatres of Philadelphia and other places, and it became the universal song of the boys in the streets. On one occasion a throng of people gathered before the author's residence, and suddenly the song, Hail, Columbia! from 500 voices broke the stillness of the night.

companies of the regiment embarked on the Sentinel. Companies F and C were left behind as a camp guard. Running down the river to Montgomery's camp, the armed transport John Adams was found with troops on board. Besides the Fifty-fourth, five companies of the Second South Carolina, and a section of Light Battery C, Third Rhode Island Artillery, under Lieut. William A. Sabin, took part in the expedition. Owing to the Sentinel grounding after proceeding a short distance farther, and the Adams also running on a shoal, there was long delay waiting for the flood-tide. Not until 1 A. M. did the Sentinel run up the coast, entering Doboy Sound at sunrise. There the gunboat Paul Jones and the Harriet A. Weed joined. Entering the Altamaha River, with the gunboats occasionally shelling houses and clumps of woods, the vessels proceeded until the town of Darien appeared in sight. Then the gunboats searched it with their shells and fired at a few pickets seen east of the place. At 3 P

to Wilmington, and remained until the night before it was taken. We were then removed to a wood the other side of the railroad bridge between Wilmington and Goldsboro. We were there when our army came up. We heard our guns. We were then taken back to Goldsboro, and there remained until we were paroled. The paroling grounds were between Wilmington and Goldsboro. We must depend upon other testimony than that of our own men regarding the Florence prisoners just before release. Captain John G. B. Adams, Nineteenth Mass. Infantry says,— At Goldsboro I saw about fifteen hundred of our enlisted men, and they were in the worst possible condition. They had been in the cars three days, and, in my opinion, not twenty-five of them were able to stand on their feet. When they unloaded the cars three men were dead, and they threw them on the side of the railroad like so many dogs. I saw men of my company who did not recognize me,—they were idiotic. Some had lost their sight completel

Chapter 16: the march down the Peninsula. On the 16th of August the order to pack up was received and the baggage was sent down the river to Fortress Monroe. The train of the Third Brigade, Second Division, Second Corps was placed in charge of Lieut. John P. Reynolds, Jr., and Lieut. John G. B. Adams of the Nineteenth Massachusetts regiment. At five o'clock in the afternoon, the regiment fell in, ready for the march, but the final orders did not arrive until nine o'clock the following morning. The regiment bivouacked on the parade ground during the night and the march for Yorktown was begun at 9.00 A. M. The troops went by one route and the wagon trains by another. These trains extended a distance of 40 miles in a single line. The march down the Peninsula, as a whole, was not hard, although the dust was so thick that the men could not see five paces in front of them. The road was lined with dead horses and the weather was very hot, although pleasant. The country through
