Amidst the most intense enthusiasm, coupled with feel- ings of terrible earnestness, which could be read in the very countenances of those present, were the names of the rap- idly offering subscribers called out. The first name that went down on the paper was Hon. W. A. Buckingham for one thousand dollars, on the announcement of which the audience rose to their feet, and gave such a response as made the building fairly shake. The next to be signed was the name of Wm. P. Greene, Esq., for a like amount, which was also greeted with shouts of enthusiastic rejoicing. The exciting work went on, as one citizen after another came up to the stand, and wrote their names for varying sums, each signature being cheered with heartiest applause. The men wrote their subscriptions "as though they were in earnest about it, and were doing such work as would make their children proud to remember them."


Meanwhile the speaking was kept up. Senator Foster, pointing out with clear and eloquent words some of the du- ties of the hour, was received with marked enthusiasm, while Judge Hovey, called out by the audience, responded with loyal expressions, urging united and liberal action in the matter before them. Interspersing the signing of the subscription paper, and the speeches of the occasion, came telegrams and notes proffering contributions from those not present. The meeting at length adjourned with three cheers

for the Stars and Stripes, reporting for this eventful day's work an aggregate of twenty thousand dollars. "Thank God and the true hearts of our citizens for so brimming a success," were the closing words of the " Norwich Bulletin's" report of this grand war rally.


The first great mass-meeting of all the citizens, was held two days after the rally just described in Apollo Hall. This was to give expression to the " sense of the city in this awful hour of our country's peril, and to adopt measures to strengthen the hands of the government in upholding the laws, and maintaining the Constitution of the country, and the union of the States." The gathering was called for April twentieth, the Saturday evening preceding "Battle Sunday." Breed Hall was packed to its fullest capacity, the galleries being filled with ladies, who continued their sewing on the outfit of Captain Chester's company, while the offi- ces on the floor below the hall were occupied by yet others, engaged in the same urgent work.ª His Honor Mayor Carew presided, sustained by the following representative citizens as Vice-presidents : David Smith, James A. Hovey, Ebenezer Learned, F. M. Hale, John Dunham, John T. Wait, Henry B. Norton, Augustus Brewster, Erastus Williams, Lewis Hyde, Charles Osgood. Secretaries : George Pratt, Hiram B. Crosby, Alfred P. Rockwell, John W. Murphy.


Mayor Carew on taking the chair, said " that this was in no sense a party meeting, but a meeting where every man could act who loved his country, and was willing to aid in its support." After music by the band, there followed a number of speeches, each one of which was listened to with the closest attention, for this was the meeting in which our citizens foreshadowed the courses they would adopt in ref- erence to supporting an administration to which many of them had not lent the support of their votes ; and also what measures they would unite upon in prosecuting the war

already begun. Never before had Norwich greater occasion to be proud of the patriotism of its citizens ; while to see them rise above all partisan predilections, and stand to- gether for the public weal, was in itself a sublime sight.


Mr. John T. Adams spoke briefly, "expressing the min- gled emotions of sadness and exultation with which he was filled, - sadness that traitors were swarming in the land, and joy that Connecticut was so nobly doing her duty. Our blessings and our prayers will follow those who are going from our firesides."


John T. Wait next addressed the meeting. He said, " Though he did not vote for Mr. Lincoln, his duty as an American citizen was now to give him his cordial and un- equivocal support in the great struggle he is making to preserve the government. The President had proved him- self an able statesman, a true patriot, and an honest man. He deplored the evils of civil war, but saw no excuse for the seceded States. He bade God-speed to the noble vol- unteers from Norwich, and did not doubt they would de- fend their flag to the death." Mr. Wait's decided and patriotic position was most cordially cheered, and the audi- ence applauded him with the most unbounded enthusiasm.


James A. Hovey, who spoke next, said, " He had always been a Democrat, but he loved his country more than party ties. Jeff Davis has declared that he made war upon none but Black Republicans, but he would find that they were not the only men he had to meet. The North is now united in the support of the constitutional authorities of the gov- ernment, and would sustain them at all hazards, and at any cost of blood or treasure." Hon. L. F. S. Foster followed, saying, " that he considered party platforms of little impor- tance when our country was in peril. All must now unite in defense of the government and flag."


S. H. Grosvenor was called out, and responded, " That he


23

had feared Connecticut was not going to do her duty fully, but to-night he felt that the fires of the Revolution were re- kindled. He assured Captain Chester, who with his brother officers had just taken his seat on the platform, that the ardent sympathies of the people went with him, and their warmest welcome would be his if he returned."


George Pratt being loudly called for, came forward, say- ing, " He felt sad at beholding the women at work, and the large audience of earnest men, for it made him realize the painful necessity that called them together. The seceding States had rushed madly into war, but they had mistaken the men of the North, and would find them a wall of fire."


Hiram B. Crosby then presented the following resolutions, advocating earnestly a united support of the Government : -


Resolved, - That in view of the great and overwhelming dan- gers that now threaten the very existence of our nation, it is the duty of all good and loyal citizens, to lay aside, without any ex- ception or reservation whatever, all party ties, party issues, and personal prejudices, and rallying beneath the flag of our country, to pledge our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor to the support of the Constitutional Government of these United States.


Resolved, - That we tender to the Governor of this State, and through him, to the President of the United States, our cordial sympathy and cooperation, and as an earnest of our sincerity, we give up to their service the flower of our youth, and the best blood of the good old town, which has never faltered in the perils of our country.


These resolutions spoke the sentiment of Norwich citi- zens, and subsequent history shows that they lived up to the very letter of them during the years of the rebellion. They were passed amidst profound feeling, and elicited the greatest applause. Every loyal man gave his heartfelt in- dorsement to them, and registered secretly his vow to stand by them, let come what would.

The speaking still went on, - Mr. Learned giving expres- sion to the fears he entertained that Washington might be taken, but if so, then, he added, " it must be retaken if it costs oceans of blood, and millions of money," - to which sentiment the House gave its amen, in its outbursting cheers.


Edmund Perkins was next called for, and spoke with great earnestness for a few moments. " He feared, too, the Capitol would be taken. If so, he pledged himself to start for Washington at once. He would assign his property to his family and his creditors, and was ready to offer his life, which belongs to his country." Again the hall shook with applause, for every heart now was wrought up with the most intense feeling.


Jeremiah Halsey said, " Massachusetts would avenge the blood of the nineteenth of April, and the loyal States would join with her. We are fighting to preserve our liberty against despotism."


Short and enthusiastic speeches still followed, by Alfred P. Rockwell, Edward T. Clapp, C. G. Child, H. H. Stark- weather, and John W. Murphy.


Three cheers were proposed by L. H. Goddard, and given with a will, for S. T. C. Merwin, and E. Kempton Abbott, the Norwich boys in the " Hartford Rifles."


Dr. Bond concluded the speaking of this memorable evening by a few remarks, showing the necessity of placing our trust in the God of Battles, and offered up a fervent prayer.


Thus ended this significant Union mass-meeting. Every- body felt the stronger for this popular expression of feeling. The patriotism of all the citizens of every party found utter- ance, and it was discovered that all were agreed upon one course, and that the emergency could be met but in one honorable way. The Democratic paper, " The Aurora,"


25

under the editorship of Mr. Stedman, lent its sanction to the position and policy that in this assemblage were advo- cated with consenting mind, and pronounced the meeting " the largest and most spirited ever held in our town, and an overwhelming evidence of the unity of feeling and patri- otic determination of our people. The war," it added in its editorial comments, "is one of the necessary results of the attempt to break up the Union, and so long as it lasts, we believe it to be our duty, as it is the duty of every man who acknowledges allegiance to the Union under which we live, to sustain the constitutional authorities of the Govern- ment, in the exercise of all the powers that may be neces- sary to bring it to a speedy termination."


The sterner work of enlisting meanwhile went on. The earliest to enter the ranks of the country's defenders from this city were Samuel T. C. Merwin, Edward K. Abbott, and George R. Case, who, eager to be off in the first Con- necticut regiment, enlisted in the "Hartford Rifles," Capt. Joseph R. Hawley's company. John B. Dennis about the same time enlisted in the " Worcester Light Infantry," which was attached to the famous Sixth Regiment of Mas- sachusetts, his name being the first signature on the com- pany's roll. To the command of the first regiment from this State, one of our most distinguished citizens was appointed, Colonel Daniel Tyler. He was the only profes- sional soldier that went forth in the first three regiments, and to him was largely due the discipline and soldierly bearing that from the beginning of the war characterized the Connecticut troops. Frank S. Chester, book-keeper in the Thames Bank, son of Rev. A. T. Chester of Buffalo, was among the earliest to enlist here, receiving not only the cordial approval of the directors of the bank, but their generous pledge to continue his salary while in service. To him and James B. Coit belongs the credit of raising the

first military company in Norwich under the President's call for three months' volunteers. Colonel H. H. Osgood of the Governor's staff, hearing that young Chester had determined to enlist, presented him to Captain Harvey's military company, which had proceeded to their armory in Uncas Hall, to take a vote on the proposition to enlist in a body. The vote being in the negative, Colonel Osgood then stated that Mr. Chester was acquainted with the manual of arms, and would make a fit leader for those of the boys who were willing to volunteer. The enrolment book pro- vided by Mr. Coit was at once opened, when entering promptly his own name, the names of all others who were ready to enlist were rapidly signed. Thus was the nucleus of the first company obtained, and by subsequent enlist- ments the requisite number of men was secured, when under the name of the " Buckingham Rifles," the organiza- tion was completed in the choice of the following offi- cers : -

Every effort was now made to fit out with the utmost dispatch these first volunteers, - the whole of Sunday, the twenty-first instant, being spent in Breed Hall by some

three hundred and fifty ladies, in making up the needed uniforms. The last Sabbath had been passed in nervous waiting for the news from the scene of the first conflict of the war ; this one was spent in working upon the outfits of those who had risen up in their young strength and earnest patriotism to defend the menaced government. While the busy fingers of patriotic women prepared the uniforms for the first soldiers Norwich was to send forth to the battle front, earnest congregations gathered in their accustomed churches to supplicate the favor of Heaven upon these who had offered themselves thus promptly and nobly at the call of the imperilled country. "The beating of drums, the


marching and drilling of military companies, the display of flags, and fluttering of bunting, the presence of unusual crowds in the streets, the hum of labor where the uniforms were being made, the earnestness and enthusiasm that seemed to animate the multitude, and the eagerness of the people to learn the latest intelligence by telegraph, - all combined to make such a Sabbath as will long be remem- bered."


On Monday, the twenty-second instant, came the parting scene with the first company. Marching forth from Uncas Hall amid the enthusiastic cheers and tearful benedictions of an immense crowd, the company, preceded by its youth- ful captain arm-in-arm with the Governor, made its way to the depot, and thence was borne away in the train for the place of rendezvous. The affecting scenes that transpired at the depot, the intense feeling manifested at parting with the brave boys, made all realize the altered times in which they were living, and the new duties and sacrifices that now were to be met. The work of enlisting did not slacken with the departure of this company. Books for enrolment were opened in different places in the city. A new volunteer company was at once started by Edward

At the same time another company was organized under the title of " Rifle Company A," and chose as officers : ---

This company was the next to leave the city, departing Wednesday, April twenty-fourth, to be mustered into serv-

ice in the Second Regiment at New Haven. The same en thusiasm, the same deep, tender feeling, marked its depart- ure as had that of the first company. Norwich had now sent forth in little over a week's time about two hundred men, and still there was no flagging in the loyalty which had thus promptly made such a creditable exhibit. These two companies were attached to the Second Regiment, to the lieutenant-colonelcy of which another Norwich cit- izen was appointed, - David Young, Esq., - he being the first of our citizens to make a personal tender of his serv- ices to the Governor, writing to that effect when the news of Sumter's surrender reached the city. On Lieutenant- colonel Young fell largely the care and conduct of the regi- ment, Colonel Terry being absent from the command a portion of the time in consequence of sickness. Captain Harland's company left the city for Hartford April twenty- ninth, where it was received into the Third Regiment. Throngs of citizens, young and old, accompanied the boys to the depot, and gave them on departing their heartfelt benedictions. The three regiments which had been called for to meet the emergencies of the hour, in each of which Norwich was represented, left the State respectively on the tenth, the fourteenth, and the twenty-second of May. At first detained in Washington, and united in one com- mand under General Tyler, they were soon ordered to cross into Virginia, and occupied the advanced post of the Union lines, with General Longstreet in their immediate front. Subsequently they were brigaded with the Second Regi- ment of Maine, under Colonel E. D. Keyes of the Elev- enth Regulars. To this brigade fell the honor of opening the memorable battle of Bull Run, and to the close of that disastrous day on which it was fought, they maintained their ranks, covering the retreat with solid columns. Each of the three regiments was specially commended by Colonel E.

D. Keyes for the gallantry and good order evinced, while Lieutenant-colonel Young of the Second Regiment was, in the official report of his superior in command, mentioned for his " coolness, activity, and discretion." The Connecti- cut regiments returned to Fort Corcoran, their old camping ground prior to their advance into Virginia. Remaining here a short time, they were ordered home, to be mustered out of service. The Norwich companies from the Second Regiment arrived in the city on the tenth of August, and were received with public honors and a collation in Breed Hall. Captain Harland's company from the Third Regi- ment returned to Norwich on the fourteenth, and was ac- corded an equally hearty and generous ovation.


The casualties reported among those who enlisted from Norwich in the three companies, were, -


JOSEPH STOKES, private, Captain Chester's company, died July 25, 1861.


AUSTIN G. MONROE, sergeant, Captain Chester's company, pris- oner.


JOHN B. JENNINGS, corporal, Captain Chester's company, pris- . oner.


CHARLES A. MURRAY, private, Captain Peale's company, pris- oner.


JAMES F. WILKINSON, private, Captain Chester's company, pris- oner.


DAVID C. CASE, private, Captain Harland's company, killed July 21, 1861.


DAVID ROSENBLATT, private, Captain Chester's company, never heard from.


We subjoin the full list of those who served in the three months' service, affording thus an opportunity of judging how generally these men reënlisted, and how largely they became the officers, through commission and promotion, of the subsequent regiments Connecticut sent into the field.
