CHAPTER XIX.
1861.
EQUIPMENT .- SOUTHERN WOMEN .- WAR SONGS .- CONFLICT BEGUN.
THE men who made up these commands were the very best men that the land contained. They represented not only the bone and muscle, and sinew of the country, but its wealth, intelligence and refinement, professional and social position as well. They included not only the man of labor, but the man of ease; the mechanic and the capitalist alike. The mer- chant came out of his counting-house; the book-keeper from over his ledger ; the clerk from behind his counter ; the planter and the overseer came out of the fields ; the farmer and the farm- er's boy left the farm ; the lawyer and the doctor closed their offices ; the preacher came down from his pulpit; the school- master laid down his ferule and his pen; the blacksmith left his bellows; the carpenter his bench; the curled darling of fortune, who had never known what it was to lift a hand to labor ; all either shouldered muskets in the ranks, or mounted steeds and marched away; enlisting generally, "for three years or the war." Many a regiment had its "fighting Par- son," a Chaplain who prayed for the souls of men in the pauses, and handled a gun when the fight was on.
The enrollment was rapid, the organization was readily effected, but the equipment was full of difficulty. Men were more plentiful than muskets, and easier to be had. The guns which were to be had were often insufficient and useless. Many of the earlier companies went out armed with shot

guns, and some even went out without guns, expecting to fight with knives and clubs, until a sufficiency of guns could be captured. At the battle of Ringgold Gap, in the midst of a desperate hand-to-hand combat, men of the First Arkansas Regiment at times fought with rocks, and did considerable execution with them, a number of men being knocked down with them, and made prisoners.
Dr. John A. Jordan, was appointed a Commissioner by the Confederate States to gather up all the arms, clothing, sup- plies, etc., that could be had. He made a call on the people to furnish arms of any pattern they had on hand, whether flint- locks or percussion make. Many a boy contributed his fowl- ing piece, or the favorite rifle with which he shot squirrels in the wood lot, until but few fire-arms were left anywhere in the State.
As the war progressed, these insufficient arms were replaced by regular muskets as often as captures were made, until it resulted that the Confederate troops were armed with regular muskets, and which were what they had taken from their ad- versaries. Many of the muskets used by them, however, in the earlier part of the war, were flint-lock muskets.
A more serious difficulty still was to get cannon. There were few foundries in the South, and though the number of them increased as the war progressed, they were very limited ; still, something was done in the way of manufacturing. The metal for casting brass cannon was obtained by contribution. Church bells, plantation bells, steamboat bells, were turned into cannon. But the main supply of artillery used by the Confederacy came from what belonged to each State for its quota of public arms, was found in forts and arsenals, or that taken possession of in their limits, or was captured during the progress of the war.
To procure the necessary ammunition for artillery use, was also a difficulty. Cannon balls, grape shot and shrapnel shot were easily moulded, and there was no foundry, however in-
436
HISTORY OF ARKANSAS.
insignificant, but could turn out crude but serviceable speci- mens, to an extent only limited by the supply of iron ; but the manufacture of bombs or shells of fuse, or percussion action for rifle or smooth-bore guns, and of fixed ammunition, was a delicate matter, and not so easily accomplished. Oftentimes, and particularly toward the latter years of the war, the Con- federate batteries were compelled to use supplies of home man- ufacture of such inferior quality as to be wholly unreliable ; shells which burst within a few feet of the guns, discharging them, or else that did not explode at all. Cavalrymen gen- erally furnished their own horses, and often artillery men.
The plow horse and the roadster, the fancy nag and the old family "stand-by" went into service. The mules went with them, for wagons and teams, until nothing was left to drag the plow, except the patient ox, and in time he, too, went to supply subsistence to the men in the field.
There was great scarcity of gun-powder, until by home manufacture and blockade runners the demand was met. Leather became a subject of concern at an early date. There were hides and abundance of tan bark, and there were tan yards. But the urgent demand caused hides to be taken from the vats, but little better than raw hide. This article did a passable service for straps, thongs, harness, bridles, sad- dles, and the like, but was very uncomfortable for shoes, having a tendency to spread when wet, and becoming hard and flinty when dry. A hide of genuinely tanned leather soon came to command a fabulous price. Early in the war boots were $80 a pair, and shoes $36, and few to be had. All old or discarded leather articles, sufficiently large, were worked over, and made to do duty in new spheres. An old pair of saddle-bags or a disused saddle-flap was regarded as a treasure, and would at once be made over into shoes for the fortunate possessor. The manufacture of swords was an easy thing. There was hardly a blacksmith who did not pound away on his anvil, until he produced blades of some descrip-

tion ; oftentimes crude and clumsy, but at times of remark- ably fine temper and steel.
The Confederate soldiers may be said to have served prac- tically without pay. The pay of a private in the ranks was $II a month, paid in Confederate money. By the end of 1862, Confederate money had greatly depreciated, and event- ually became $100 for one, so that, at this rate, the pay of one whole month would be eleven cents, or, for a whole year, one. dollar and thirty-two cents. But this made no difference in their zeal and devotion. Notwithstanding this state of affairs, they not only enlisted to the full strength that the country could command, but fought with resolute endurance for four long years.
A most important item in the equipment of an army is the clothing and hospital supplies. Here the women nobly lent their unremitting aid. They would assemble in crowds in halls, churches or public places, and scrape lint or make band- ages, slings and the like, using such cotton fabrics as were to be had, often contributing their own table linen, bed com- forters, cotton or cambric window curtains, and such things, for the purpose. Blankets were made out of carpets or heavy curtains, which were freely contributed. Any woolen fabrics of suitable size were converted to such use. Regular sewing societies were established for the making of clothing. It was not unusual for those who had the means to supply the neces- sary material to clothe a whole company, or part of one ; and the ladies in their sewing societies, or in their homes, would cut and make them up. These were days in which the sew- ing machine was just beginning to make its appearance amongst us, but had not come into general use. There was one agent only in Little Rock at the time, P. H. Kegler. He placed his entire stock of machines at the disposal of the ladies for such use.
Knitting, carding and weaving also came into vogue. Delicate fingers, which had never handled a knitting needle,

now took to the work with spirit, and soon learned to convert the wool, carefully hoarded from the sheep's back, into com- fortable socks, gloves, mitts, etc. Cotton and wool cards came into every household, rarely seen there before, and the spinning wheel and the clumsy loom were dragged out of the dusty garret, and were made to do for our modern dames the work they had done for their grandmothers. Homespun cloth, coarse in texture, but strong, warm,' and exceedingly durable, came to be frequently seen. And in truth, with a spirit which cannot be too highly honored or praised, the women of the South learned out of the adversity which was upon us, the great and valuable lesson of independence and self-reliance. It developed a heroism in them which had never been exhibited before, because the peculiar conditions calling for its exercise had never previously existed. And no doubt it is due to their tireless energy in the accumulation and the manufacture of supplies for the men in the field; to their counsel and encouragement in times of depression, and to their perpetual help in hospital work in the care and nursing of the sick, that the Southern troops were able to hold out so long.
The war spirit of the times was encouraged by the stirring war music and songs, which were to be heard on all hands. The air was filled with the strains of "Dixie," "The Bonnie Blue Flag," and "Maryland, my Maryland." They were the distinctive Southern war songs ; every band played them ; they were heard everywhere-in camp and concert hall, in the parlor, and on the street; everybody who could sing, sang them, or who could play, played them. Dixie was a negro minstrel "Walkaround," written in 1859, by Dan D. Emmett, which had been sung in New Orleans by Mrs. John Wood, in the fall of 1860, in John Brougham's burlesque of "Pocahontas," and instantly became popular. Without any authority from the composer, a New Orleans publisher had the air harmonized, and arranged with words embodying the strong southern feeling of that city, and from there it went

with the soldiers going to the front, where it was played by regimental bands, until it found its way over the whole South, and was used by the Southern soldiers as one of their dis- tinctive airs, and the whole South itself came to be called "Dixie." "The Bonnie Blue Flag" was written by Harry McCarthy, a celebrated minstrel performer of that day, and sung by him at a performance of his in New Orleans. It instantly became popular, and was soon everywhere played and sung. "Maryland, my Maryland" was written by James R. Randall, a Marylander by birth, a native of Baltimore, Professor of English Literature and Classics in Poydras College, at Point Coupeè, in Louisiana, now residing in Augusta, Georgia. It went the rounds of the Southern newspapers in the form of a poem at first, and was fitted to the music of an old college song, called "Lauriger Horatius," by Miss Jennie Cary, of Baltimore. It was sung by her in response to a serenade given her by the Washington Artillery, of New Orleans, at General Beauregard's camps, near Manassas, after the battle. The soldiers crowded around the fair singer, and as the song progressed, caught the spirit of its intense enthusiasm, and voice after voice rang out the oft' repeated refrain, "Maryland, my Maryland," until the whole camp resounded with it, and from this commencement it went everywhere as one of the famous ballads of the war.
The invasion of Virginia was begun May 24th, when 13,- 000 troops crossed the Potomac, and occupied Alexandria. Colonel Elmer E. Ellsworth, in command of a regiment of New York Fire Zouaves, took possession of the Marshall House, the principal hotel in the city, for his headquarters. While in the act of tearing down the Confederate flag which was floating over it, and hoisting the United States flag in its stead, he was shot dead by James W. Jackson, the proprietor, who was himself instantly killed by one of the Zouaves. This was the first blood shed in the war.

HISTORY OF ARKANSAS.
By the first of July, the Federal Government had an enor- mous army in the field, estimated at 300,000 men. Of these a force of from 40,000 to 50,000 men, at and near Washing- ton, were under command of Major-General Irwin McDowell. On the 16th of July, this army was put in motion against the Confederate forces under General Beauregard, which were lying at Bull Run, and numbered, all told, about 12,000. Here, on the 21st day of July, 1861, was fought the first pitched battle of the war, resulting in the complete rout of McDowell's Army, and their disordered flight back to Wash- ington City, after having suffered immense loss.
The next battle to take place in the order of events, was at Oak Hill, near Springfield, Missouri, on the 10th of August, 1861, between the Confederate forces, about 6,000 strong, under Generals Ben. Mccullough and N. B. Pearce, and the Federals under General Nathaniel Lyon. This battle is called by the Federals the battle of Wilson's Creek, but by the Confederates called the battle of Oak Hill. Five regi- ments and one battery, of the 10 regiments engaged, were Arkansas troops.
General Mccullough's forces were camped on or near Wilson's Creek, at the foot of a small eminence, called Oak Hill. The hill was occupied by the camp of Woodruff's Bat- tery, and some other troops, but the cavalry and the most of the troops were on the plain below. General Lyon, with a greatly superior force, estimated at about 8,000, and largely composed of regular troops, lay encamped at Springfield, ten miles away. On the night of the 9th of August, 1861, he moved from Springfield, and by a swift and stealthy night march, was upon the Confederate camp before they realized their danger, taking them completely by surprise. The first man to discover their approach was Captain L. M. Ramsauer, of Augusta, Captain of the Augusta Guards, in Churchill's Regiment. On going for water to a spring, a short distance from camp, a little after daylight, he observed their approach,
441
THE YEAR 1861.
and galloped back with all possible speed to give the alarm. In doing so, he passed the camp of his company, and gave the order to mount and fall into line. Passing on, he reported to Colonel Churchill the approach of the enemy, and before he had hardly finished his report, the crack of musketry was heard. This was the camp sentinel's giving the alarm, and was soon followed by rapid discharge of musketry and can- nonading from the enemy's guns. The Confederates were thrown into great confusion, seeing which, General Franz Siegel, next in command to General Lyon, exclaimed in the best English he could command: "Mein Gott ! vere ish der gavalree?" General Lyon did not follow up the advantage which the suddeness of his attack had given him, but allowed from half to three quarters of an hour to elapse, while he made farther dispositions of his troops. While this was tak- ing place, the Confederates rallied as rapidly as they could, and formed in line of battle, and when he next appeared were ready to receive him. The battle began anew at about seven o'clock in the forenoon, and lasted until about one in the after- noon, when the Federal army, badly worsted, retired from the field, leaving it in possession of the Confederates. From the time when the engagement began it was hard fighting, and kept up almost continuously. The two forces surged back and forth for over five hours, with heavy losses on both sides. At one point the dead and dying lay so thick that the place is called "Bloody Hill" to this day. Finally, some- thing after mid-day, in a splendid charge, the Federal army was driven from the field, and retreated in the direction of St. Louis. The Confederates then moved into and occupied Springfield.
For two days after the battle, the Federals had thirty wag- ons hauling off their dead, and 200 were buried on the field. Their loss must have reached 1, 500 or 2,000. General Lyon, the Federal commander, was among the killed. In the hos- pitals at Springfield there were over 1,000 Federal wounded,
442
HISTORY OF ARKANSAS.
and about half that number of Confederate wounded. The hospitals at that place were in charge of Dr. W. A. Cantrell, Surgeon of Churchill's Regiment. Churchill's Regiment, the First Arkansas Rifles, was in the hottest of the fight, and suf- fered heavy loss. Colonel Churchill had two horses shot from under him. A. H. Sevier, his Aide, was wounded while carry- ing orders. Woodruff's Battery behaved with great gallantry, and did much to win the victory. Their loss consisted of two killed, Lieutenant Omer R. Weaver, First Lieutenant of the Battery, and Private William Carver, and two wounded, one of whom, W. H. Byler, afterwards died. A part of the time the battery was opposed by the battery of Captain James Totten, who had been stationed at Little Rock at the time the arsenal there was taken possession of, and in the artillery duel which ensued, Lieutenant Weaver was struck by a shell, and instantly killed.
The following is a list of the killed and wounded among the Arkansas troops in this battle :
