Twenty-Second Regiment.

This fine regiment is sometimes known as Gen. Wilson's Regiment, from the fact that it was recruited and marched to Washington under the command of Hon. Henry Wilson, Senator in Congress from Massachusetts.

Previous to the adjournment of the extra session of 1861, Senator Wilson had formed the plan of raising a regiment, and, immediately upon his return to Massachusetts, after consulting with, and obtaining the co-operation of, the Governor, he entered upon the work with characteristic zeal and earnestness.

Enlistment papers were furnished to numerous gentlemen possessing the necessary qualifications, and, although eleven full regiments of three years' volunteers had already marched from the State to the seat of war, and five more regiments were in camp and ready to march, such was the enthusiasm of the young men of the State to join this regiment, that nearly twenty companies were enlisted in a few days.

The first company went into camp at Lynnfield on the 2d day of September, and others followed from day to day. In obedience to a requisition from the War Department upon the Governor of the State, to send forward troops as rapidly as possible, it was

deemed advisable to organize a regiment at once, composed of the ten best and fullest companies, and to leave the remaining ones to be recruited to the maximum standard and organized afterwards.

Colonel Wilson received his commission from the Governor on the 2d day of September, and on the 8th of October, with full ranks, equipped in the most thorough manner, and armed with Enfield rifles of the best description, the regiment was on its way to Washington.

Previous to his departure, Colonel Wilson was presented by some of his friends and neighbors with a fine, thorough-bred Morgan stallion, with saddle and housings complete, as a slight testimonial of their personal regard, and appreciation of his valuable services.

Important duties in connection with his senatorial office seemed to render it necessary, towards the close of October, for Colonel Wilson to resign his command, and it having been ascertained that the War Department was willing to grant a furlough to Capt. Jesse D. Gove, of the 10th Infantry, U. S. A., that accomplished and ski ful officer was appointed by the Governor to fill the vacancy occasioned by Colonel Wilson's resignation. Colonel Wilson resigned on the 28th of October, and on the same day Colonel Gove received a commission as his successor, and entered at once upon the duties of his command.

It is proper to state, in this connection, that the 3d Battery of Light Artillery was also recruited under Gen. Wilson's auspices, and marched to Washington, Oct. 8th, as part of his command.
