THE GLORIOUS SIXTH.


The officers and men of the sixth Massachu'
sets regiment, now at the Relay House, have
sent the following memorial 10 the governor !;
To His Ercellency John A. Andrea, Governor
of Massachusetts We, the undersigned, mem.
bcIs of the Massachusetts sixth regiment, in
the service of the United States, would re-
spectfully represent that it is with feelings of
grea, regret that we notice the rumor III the
newspapers that another regiment has been
raised and mustered into the service by the
designation of the sixth Massachusetts regi-
ment
We would also respectfully represent that
we feel that the name and number belongs to
us. and that as o matter of history we are
alone entitled toit.
We would also respectfully represent that
we have and still do take great pride in the
| designation, that the good name which the
regiment has always held has been and is now
| an incentive to us to preserve 1t by our goOu
conduct, and we feel that as a regiment there
has been nothing done to sully that good
name
| We also feel that by giving our name to an
other regiment great injustice is done to us,
who have endeavored to serve our country to
the best OF our knowledge and ability; there
fore we would in the most respectful manner,
into service designated in any manner by the
number SIX.
| 1t will be remembered that the governor had
anticipated the just wishes of the regiment,
providing that in the numbering Of the new
| regiments the old designations OF the regi.
ments of three months volunteers now in the
field shall not be appropriated. 1t was an act
of historic propriety and justice which every
one will applaud. The gallant troops who
were first in the field deserve all the laurels
they have achieved, and should not be call
ed to divide their fame. The GLORIOUS
sixth" have especial cause to be jeal
Gus of their good name. They made the
first sacrifices and shed the first blood in the
war. Their march to the defense of the cap
ital on the twice memorable 10Th of April, and
their experiences in Baltimore during that pc
riod of darkness and alarm, give them dis
tinguishing title to whatever honor attaches to
the name of their organization, which the state
cannot guard with too sacred and affeetionate
care.

Sam paid no attention to this, but started
with the rest and it soon became appar-
cnt that he was not such fool as they
took him to be. He was among the fore
most in two minutes ; and at the end OF
the race, that awful ugly hoss " was pro-
nounced clearly aud uneQuivocaIly the

Sam coolly received his doubloons back
again, and put them into his belt together
with the planters check for ten thousand
dollars, which was afterward duly honor

He offered to bet on another race, but
there were 10 takers. For this, however,
he was compensated by the most liberal
offers for his horse. Five hundred dol
lars, thousand fifteen hundred, two
thousand were bid for him. The last fig
ure being the highest. Sam accepted it.
On his return to the brig Sam learnt
that no one of the crew but himself had
been at the races. ts soon as he came

Breathe out, ye winds. your softcst sigh,

And rank with rank contendcd.

The strength of their desparing,
They feared not denth-men bless the field
That patriot soldiers die on

Their leaders troubled soul looked forth
From eyes Of troubled brightness;

Had pressed out all its l.ghtness.
