SEYMOUR IN THE GREAT REBELLION.
At the first call of the President for volunteers there had been a prompt response, many patriotie young men going forth in the first regiments to devote their lives, if it should so be, to their country, leaving home and family to face the peril of a destructive war. As the war progressed and call after call was made for more men, it became necessary to make greater efforts to fill the quotas, and those who remained at home contributed liberally to assist . those who went to the front.
At a special town meeting held Aug. 25th, 1862, the following resolutions were adopted :-
Resolved, That the sum of one hundred dollars be and hereby is appointed to each volunteer soldier who has enlisted in any company forming in this town for the military service of the United States since July 1st, 1862, or who may hereafter enlist in such company for said service before the 3rd day of September 1862, until the quota of men required of this town under the orders of the President of the United States, or as apportioned by the Adjutant General or Governor of this State, shall be filled, and said sum herein before appropriated shall be paid to each and every volunteer so enlisting immediately after such volunteer or volunteers shall have been mustered into the military service of the United States.
Resolved, That the sum of five thousand dollars, or so much thereof as may be required, be and is hereby appropriated for the purpose of carrying the foregoing resolutions into effect, and the selectmen or town agent of this town are hereby anthorized and instructed to procure a loan or loans on the credit of this town of such sum or sums of money not exceeding in the whole the amount appropriated under these resolutions as may be required to pay the aforesaid appropriations.
Resolred, That the selectmen of this town be and hereby are empowered and instructed to draw their order on the treasurer of this town for the sum of one hundred dollars in favor of each and every volunteer enlisted as afore- said, when such volunteer or volunteers shall have been mustered into the service of the United States.

In December an additional appropriation was made of $105 to each man who would enlist under the call of the President dated Oct. 17th, 1863, and for this and also the consolidation of the previous debt, the town treasur- er was authorized to issne six per cent bonds to the amount of $16,000.
At a special town meeting held Sept. 15th, ('64,) a tax of thirteen mills, was voted for the purpose of defraying the expense of filling the quota of the town under the last call of the President for vohmteers. The money was to be kept in a separate fund called the Soldiers' Bounty Fund, and to be drawn upon for no other purpose. The selectmen were authorized to draw an order on the fund for $300 in favor of each person who had or should enter the military service of the United States, and be counted on the quota of the town, until the quota should be filled.
