The Second Regiment of Massachusetts Volunteers is especially worthy of commemoration. It was the first loyal regiment raised for the war, and it led the way in the new system of military organization which was afterwards adopted for the whole United States. As soon as the proclamation of the President, dated April 15th, 1861, calling out the militia to suppress the insurrection, had reached Boston, several gentlemen of that city, foreseeing the necessity which would require a more permanent army, conceived the idea of raising a regiment for the war. Major Gordon, who then commanded two or three battalions of infantry of Massachusetts militia, was selected by them to command it, and Mr. George L. Andrews, a graduate of West Point, and Mr. Wilder Dwight, a lawyer in Court Street, were associated with him in forming the plan of organization. These gentlemen proposed that the new regiment should be enlisted for the war, and should conform in discipline, drill and equipments to the standard of the regular army of the United States. Mr. Dwight drew up a subscription paper, to guarantee the expenses which would be necessarily incurred in the enterprise, and in a few days $27,000 had been subscribed. Mr. Thomas Dwight was appointed treasurer of this fund, thirty-five per cent. of which was afterwards returned to the subscribers. The history of this regiment furnishes a memorable instance of the patriotism and liberality of the merchants of Boston. As soon as the scheme of its organization was formed, gentlemen of all parties hastened to subscribe for its support. Messrs. David Sears, Robert M. Mason, James Lawrence, Samuel Hooper, Thomas Lee, George A. Hovey and Mrs. William Pratt, each gave one thousand dollars; Gardner Brewer, Charles Amory, G. Howland Shaw, John A. Lowell, Charles G. Loring, John E. Lodge, Nathaniel Thayer, J. B. & F. H Bradlee, Josiah Quincy, T. G. Appleton, Chas. Merriam, Henry Sayles, James Parker, and Wm. F. Weld, each gave five hundred dollars; Chas. Francis Adams, R. S. Fay, E. R. Mudge, Samuel G. Ward, Joseph S. Fay, Wm. H. Swift, Augustus Lowell, Little, Brown & Co., James Savage, each gave two hundred dollars; Edward Austin, A. Heard, Jr., S. T. Farley, E. D. Peters & Co., Iasigi Goddard & Co., each contributed one hundred dollars. The money thus raised enabled Col. Gordon and his associates to commence their important enterprise without delay. To properly estimate the difficulty and magnitude of this enterprise, it should be borne in mind, that, at that time, there was no law, either of the United States or of the Commonwealth, under which it could be carried into operation. During the period which had been employed in obtaining the subscriptions and maturing the plan of organization, the Baltimore riot had taken place, and all communication with the government was cut off. While the painful solicitude which followed these events was at its height, Messrs. Dwight and Andrews left Boston for Washington, resolved at all hazards to make their way through, for the purpose of tendering their regiment to the President. They went by the way of Annapolis, and arrived at the Capital the day after the New York Seventh Regiment. The government, plunged in panic and alarm, gladly adopted their scheme, and they returned to Boston with full authority to enlist and equip a regiment, which was to be commanded by Colonel Gordon, and officered by gentlemen of his selection. The regiment when enlisted was to form part of the army of the United States, and was not to be called into active service before July. It was thus the first of the six hundred regiments now in the service of the United States. The regiment was easily enlisted to its full number, and went into camp in West Roxbury, at Brook Farm, the well-known estate of the Rev. James Freeman Clarke, who offered it, without charge, to Colonel Gordon for that purpose. Mr. Andrews was appointed Lieut Colonel, and Mr. Dwight, Major; and under their care, the regiment was armed and equipped according to the standard prescribed for the United States Army. During its stay at the camp, which, in compliment to his Excellency Governor Andrew, was called Camp Andrew, it was thoroughly drilled by experienced officers, and its parades were daily attended by crowds from all parts of the neighboring country. The spectacle thus exhibited of neatness, soldierly bearing and skill, was the theme of much remark, and had the happiest effect in infusing a military spirit and sound military ideas into the public mind, as well as in furnishing a model of equipment and organization for the regiments since formed. While at Camp Andrew, the regiment was presented with regimental colors by a party of ladies of Boston and its vicinity. The ceremony of presentation was witnessed by a vast concourse of people, and speeches were made by Hon. George S. Hillard and by Colonel Gordon. The religious exercises at camp were also attended by multitudes from all directions. On the evening of the sixth of July, Colonel Gordon received a telegraphic order from General Scott, to report to General Patterson at Martinsburg, in Virginia. On the morning of the eighth, the regiment broke camp and came to Boston, where they dined on the Common, and shortly afterwards left for New York by the Providence Railroad. They were escorted on their march through Boston by the Cadets, and by the Fourth Battalion of Infantry, and were accompanied to the station by a great concourse of people. At New York they were received by the Sons of Massachusetts, and after breakfasting with them at the Astor House, proceeded south. On the 10th of July they reached Hagerstown, in Maryland, and thence marched to join General Patterson, arriving at Martinsburg on the 12th. On Monday the 15th, they started with General Patterson on his advance towards Winchester, and vivouacked among the smoking fires which the enemy had just deserted. After Patterson withdrew to Charlestown, the regiment was sent to occupy Harper's Ferry, where it hoisted the American Flag, for the first time since the breaking out of the rebellion. In recog nition of their service rendered to the loyal inhabitants of that region, it was presented with a handsome color by the ladies of Harper's Ferry. The ceremony of presentation was the first open and public act of loyalty which had been performed in any town of Eastern Virginia since the beginning of the insurrection. After General Banks, who had superseded General Patterson, withdrew his troops across the river, three companies of the Massachusetts Second were left to hold the Ferry, while seven companies occupied the heights opposite, to support the batteries there thrown up. They remained in this advance service for three weeks, bivouacking in the open air. When General Banks moved his division to Hagerstown, he withdrew the regiment to Sandy Hook, where it was employed on picket duty along the canal. While engaged on this duty, companies C and G were fired upon, and had a brisk skirmish of half an hour. Shortly before the regiment went to Sandy Hook, a portion of it crossed the river and destroyed the mill of Herr & Welch, bringing away all the flour which they found there. The regiment then went into camp at Darnestown, where it remained until October 21st. On the afternoon of the day of the battle of Ball's Bluff, it was assigned to the brigade of General Hamilton, and made a forced march on Conrad's Ferry, where it arrived at about three o'clock in the morning, and was at once put on picket duty, opposite Harrison's Island, at the Ferry, under the command of Major Dwight. On its return to Darnestown, it was assigned to General Abercrombie's Brigade. It is now (Jan. 1, 1862) encamped near Frederick, with General Banks. The regiment has been frequently reviewed by General Banks, and has received high commendation from him. General McClellan has also spoken in high terms of its discipline and efficiency. A large number of its officers have been detailed for service in the staff of the generals and for signal duty. This regiment was the first offered to the government in the hour of its extreme peril; it will be the last to desert the flag and the cause. Company A ( Abbott Greys), Lowell.-2d Reg.
