country; you endured privations and inconveniences that would have discouraged any but the most determined, that you might be ready at any moment to respond to a call for your services from the General Government; you organized the first regiment added to the Massachusetts Volunteer Militia, and were one of the first to be mustered into the service of the United States; you were engaged in one of the first great battles, and up to the present time are the only three years' regiment from this Commonwealth, whose entire force has been actively engaged on the battle-field. I will take this opportunity to state, that from the first moment that it became apparent that the difficulties that beset our Republic could only be settled by an appeal to arms, I have endeavored to do my duty to my country, and gave it the benefit of my military experience as an officer in the Massachusetts Volunteer Militia, for nearly fifteen years, during which time I made every exertion to prepare myself to perform correctly the duties of any office I might be called upon to fill. And, to the best of my humble ability, I have endeavored to make our regiment effective, and to promote your comfort and welfare. I can conscientionsly say that there is no act of my official life that I desire to recall. I cannot take official leave of you without thanking you, each and all, for your generous support in the affairs of the regiment: for the marks of confidence and good will that you have shown me on so many occasions ; and I shall look back with pride upon our association together, our early trials, our pleasant encampments, our fatiguing marches, and our experience on the battle-field, affording, as they do respectively, evidence of your individual perseverance, your social qualities, your patient endurance, and your coolness, bravery, and efficiency, as a regiment. When our now distracted country becomes again united and prosperous, you will return to your firesides and receive the welcome from your fellow-citizens and friends to which you are so richly entitled for your courage in the field, your discipline in camp, and for your patriotism in leaving pleasant homes to risk your lives in defence of that Union upon which the prosperity and peace of our country now and hereafter depends, upon the perpetuation of which will decide the problem of self-government. The recollection that you stood by your country in its darkest hour and its greatest peril, will afford you the highest satisfaction when you shall once more return to enjoy the quiet and comforts of civil life. Bidding you farewell, and wishing you individual health and prosperity, and as a regiment, success, I remain yours, GEORGE CLARK, JR. Late Colonel Eleventh Massachusetts Volunteers. The Governor subsequently promoted the lieutenant-colonel to the command of the regiment and Major Tileston to the lieutenant-colonelcy. About the last of October, the brigade received orders to march, and after struggling through the mud for three days the Eleventh encamped on the Maryland shore of the Potomac, near Budd's Ferry, and about forty-five miles from Washington. The rebels had erected powerful batteries on the Virginia shore opposite, and throw shot and shell at intervals into our lines, but without causing loss of life, and doing but little damage otherwise. The picket duty here, on account of the mud, the distance they were sent from camp, and frequent incursions of the enemy from the opposite shore, together with the fact that they were surrounded with enemies, open and disguised, was both irksome and hazardous. A scouting expedition, consisting of Companies A, D, and K, and commanded by Lieut. Col. Tileston, succeeded in capturing a cannon and other military stores, concealed in the wood near Port Tobacco. The expedition was absent from camp about three weeks, and the manner in which it was conducted was highly complimented by the Commanding General of the Division. At the time we go to press, the regiment is still occupying winter quarters in their camp, near Budd's Ferry, anxiously awaiting the order which will enable them once more to encounter their traitorous foe.
