HEADQUARTERS 5lsT MASS. REGIMENT. /
Foster Barracks, Newbern, N. G., Dec. q, '62
AdjutGat General William .Schouler, State
House, Boston, Mass.
In obedience to department general orders
No. II, and brigade general orders No. 81, |
reported with my command, seven hundred
and seventy eight rank and file, on the Trent
road, in light marching order, at o'clock on
the morning of Thursday, It'll inst, remain
ing with the brigade en- route till the afternoon
of Friday, when we were detached in compa-
ny with two pieces of artillery, under COM
mand of Capt. Ransom, to guard the Beaver
Creek Bridge, theAmain road to Kinston, and
the road to Trenton, in rear of the advancing
column.
Receiving orders from Maj. Gen. Foster at
/ ~ o'clock on Sunday morning, to join the
main force without delay, we marched at sun
rise, having in charge twenty-one prisoners
(taken by the cavalry on the main road to
Kinston), which were turned over to the pro-
vOst marshal upon our arrival at KinSton on
Sunday evening.
We advanced with the brigade on Monday
morning, arriving at the scene Of action at
WHITEHALL about II o'clock A. NJ. on R1esday
morning, and though not participating in the
engagement, were within range of the enemy's
guns, on the right of the artillery which was
engaged.
At this point in obedience to orders of Maj.
Gen. Foster, Lieut.. Sanderson, with detach-
ment of men, was detailed to examine the
river below the bridge, to ascertain the prac-
ticability of fording it. After careful ex-
animation of the river for nearly a mile, he
reported that it was not fordabe.
Tuesday afternoon passing up with the
main column on the left bank of the Neuse,
we bivouacked at night about twelve miles
from GOldsboro'. On Wednesday we were
detached to guard the baggage train, from
which duty we were relieved in the afternoon
when the baggage train and troops were coun-
termarched, after the burning Of the railroad
bridge by the advance.
Keeping our place on the return on Thurs
day, Friday, and Saturday, we encamped on
Saturday night near Deep Gully, and arrived
at our barracks on the Trent at II o'clock on
Sunday morning, my men considerably faded
and toot-sore. The orders in regard to pill
laying and toraging were enforced, and the
men suffered in consequence of an insufficient
supply of meat.
Taking iuto consideration the fact that this
regiment had been but a week in the field, and
received their arms only two days before they
received marching orders, have the honor
to report that they behaved well during the
entire march.
None were killed, two wounded, none miss.

JOSHUA HERRIcK, THE FATHER OF CoTToN
MANUFAcTURERs.-Josh Herrick, now SUI
perintending the great work progressing at
fort Scanned in Portland harbor, worked in
the first cotton mill put in operation in the
United States, the machinery of which for
carding and the preparation was propelled by
horses, and the fine roping and spinning done
by Billies and Jennies which went by hand;
as also the weaving and the finishing of the
goods was done by hand. He also worked in
the first cotton mill put in operation in Mas
sachusetts, propelled by water, and tended
the first breakers and finshers for carding cot
ton ever run in the United States, being in
formed at the time that the machines of Sam
uel Slater of Pawtucket r. L were of diff
ferent construction. Mr.. Skaters mill was
commenced in 1790-two years after the 90 old
brick factory" at Beverly. He was overseer
of the spinning-room in the first cotton mill
put in operation in Maine, and overseer of the
whole cotton department of the millin Bruins
wick, belonging to the Cotton and Wooden
Manufacturing Co., in 1915 and 1916, the
stockholders Of which resided in Boston.

duced and addressed the audience, which was
large, for upwards Of an hour. He spoke in
a complimentary manner Of the services of
the ladies Of the north, and Of the great ener-
gy and courage they have displayed. The
plan and operations of the commission were
then explained, showing it to be an extraor-
binary vehicle of good He defended the
army surgeons against much loose talk that
has been held towards them. He argued the
necessity of paying their agents, those vol.
unteering not proving as good and efficient as
those who are compensated. DIR. Bellows
claimed that the American army is the health
lest in the world, and in closing eloquently
commended the commission to the confidence
and sustenance of the public. His remarks
were highly interesting, and gave great salts
faction. This association is doing vast
amount of good, and is worthy of all encour-
agement.

DOUBTFUL NEws.-The Washington Re-
publican of the 9th inst says Seen. Hook
er left the city last evening on his return to
the army of the Potomac. 1t is reported in
military circles that he had in his pocket au-
thority to supercede Gen. Burnside" 1t is
not well to publish what is reported" until it
is known to be true, especially when re-
port touches matter so important as
this. General Burnside may resign and
insist on having his resignation accepted;
and in that case Gen. Hooker, one of the very
ablest and bravest men in the service, may be
appointed to take his place; but it will be
quite early enough to announce the change
when We know it has been made. Mere ''re-
port is too often liar to deserve much conf
dence

The following lines, read at festival meet
9, on Christmas eve, in the chapel of til
bird Baptist church, are communicated 70
ALLEGATION IN the Spy =
,E THE CHRISTMAS FESTIVAL OF THE THIR
BAPTIST CHURCH.
We are happy, pupils-teachers-
But we cannot well be gay,
For so sadly stealing DER us,
Comes the thoughts of those away
Thoughts of noble sons and brothers,
Who have, for their countryis good,
Left their kindred and their tresides,
Bravely spilt their precious blood.
Thoughts of weeping wives and mothers,
Who on this glad Christmas eve,
Seated round the glowing Yule-log,
Ger their absent loved ones grieye.
Thoughts of our dear countryis danger,
OF this fearful cruel war!
Of the sick and wounded soldier,
Come this festive scene to mar.
Often when the sun shines brightest,
Fitting clouds obscure its sheen;
often when our hearts are lightest
Saddening thoughts come creeping in.
So ON this our festive evening,
Settling DER us like pail,
Comes the thought that some ice cherish
On the battle field may fall.
Some have gone out from among us,
Members of our sabbath school;
May the principles here taught them
Over all their actions rule.
May the Savior guide and guard them;
Safe return them to their friends;
May no evil thing befall them
Till this wicked conflict ends.
May the God who rules above us,
Comfort all who mourn tonight,
Wisdom give to all our rulers;
May they honor and DO the right
Soon may Freedoms proclamation
Echo from our country's dome;
Soon may all our noble soldiers
Be returned TO friends and home.

STATE REFORM ScHooL.-The annual re-
port of the trustees of the State Reform School
at Westboro, shows the health of the insttu-
ton to have heen good. There was not a
single death during the past year, and no Sc
rious illness. The institution has been in Il
fiourishing condition, and the buildings taken
care of. The discipline has been good, and
but one boy has run away who has not been
returned. The farm crops have been album
dant, and additional land has been e-claimed
Many of the boys have been instructed In
gardening. The total cost to the state has
been S22, 1000. The present number of in
mates is two hundred and ninety-eight being
an increase of torty-tiye since the last report.
During the year two hundred and twelve were
admitted. Of those who left, eleven enlisted,
forty-one were hired out, four were pardoned
and forty-four were indentured. Ffty-six
boys have been employed seating chairs, fifty
seven in farming, seventy-one in sewing and
knitting, and forty-nine in cooking, domestic
work, sc. In the chair shop 27,527 seats and
1880 backs have been made. During the
year the family system has been tried with a
portion of the boys, and the result has been
good The products of the farm last year
amounted TO $3.50 70.
The whole number of inmates of the ma
tional branch Of the reform school has been
369. The school ship is now full. During
the year the committees were 2lS. The
trustees recommend that boys under IA years
of age should not be committed, as they are
opposed to such length of imprisonment as
would be necessary to make seamen of these
younger boys. They believe that the office
of the nautical school is to arrest evil tenden-
cies where they exist, to change the paths of
the boys in life from wrong to right, and at the
same time, as speedily as possible, to give
them such an impetus by means of the school
education, as shall help and cheer them on
their way. For these reasons they urge the
passage of a law prohibiting commitments to
the limit Of eighteen instead of sixteen years
of age the limit now fixed by law. Unless
such a change in the law is made, the trustees
are unanimously of the opinion that a larger
ship will be required to meet the permanent
wants of the institution. The trustees re-
commend change Of the name of the insti~
tuition to the State Nautical School.
During the year, torty~siX boys have been
shipped in the naval, and thirty in the mer-
chant service. During the year, forty seven
boys were discharged as reformed, six run
away, and fifteen enlisted in the army. For
the purpose of practice for the boys, the ship
has visited, the past summer, the ports of Pro-
vincetown, Fall River New Bedford, Holmes
Hole, Edgartown, Hyannis, Gloucester and
Beverly, and made number of short cruises
in the bay.

THE MESSAGE OF GovERNNR SEYMOUR of
New York, which had been looked for by all
parties with considerable Interest, is more
moderate and subdued in tone than was ex-
pected. 1t does not blaze against nation
al administration and the
rebels as some of his political friends sup
posed it would; but some parts of it are
sufficiently Objectionable to provoke con-
siderable criticism, and sufficiently dis
ingenious, partizan, and forbearing to-
wards the slavery extremists, who or
organized the rebellion, to be tolerably salts
factory to the disloyal men who favored his
election. His correspondence, direct or in
direct, with the rebel leaders has not led to
such results as had been desired and it may
be that his disappointed hope in regard to
their disposition to come back at his call to
their old places in the Union and their old
political associations, has done something to
make his message different from what it 9TH
erwise would have been.
