GEN. COWDIN
AND THE
FIRST MASSACHUSETTS REGIMENT

VOLUNTEERS.

This, with others that had previously been ordered, filled up the Regiment to its full quota, and it left for the seat of Government, April 17, 1861. I called at the State House daily, urging my claims, but his Excellency informed me that he must send out the Regiments first
