HISTORY OF ANCIENT WINDSOR.
discovered that a white flag was waving at the head of the staff, instead of the national emblem, and that the ropes had been so arranged as to make it difficult of access. It was, however, quickly removed, and the "peace party " we're soon lost sight of in the excitement which attended the preparation of troops for the three-years service, the making of havelocks, presentation of flags, etc. The first Connecticut volunteer regiment left camp at New Haven for Washington May 17th, and then the energies of the ladies were displayed in the preparation of lint, bandages, and other hospital and sanitary provisions for the soldiers in the field - they being, during the first year, organized as " Red, White, and Blue " societies. At a meeting held September 16th, in Third Dis- triet schoolhouse, these lady workers, under the direction of Mrs. John Olmstead and Mrs. T. G. Talcott of Hartford, were organized as auxiliary to the U. S. Sanitary Commission, through which the results (both in supplies and money ) of their labors were distributed.
In Wapping, also, the ladies of the two church societies carly or- ganized a " Union Soldiers' Aid Society," and labored as such through- out the entire course of the war.
Oct. 7, 1861, at the regular annual town meeting, the following resolution was passed and duly spread upon the town records :
"WHEREAS, a formidable and wicked combination of ambitious men, false to their oaths of allegiance to the United States, by misleading a portion of the people, have, together with those whom they have deluded, made an unprovoked and de- liberate attack by arms upon the Government of the United States; and
"WHEREAS, in all times, it is proper to express our attachment and devotion to our country, and especially in times of threatened danger; therefore,
" Resolred, By the citizens of South Windsor, that we will unconditionally, now, and at all times, cordially support the Government in its efforts to repel all attacks upon it. from all foes, whether foreign or domestic.
" Resolred, That we wait not to enquire who is to administer the laws and support the Constitution of the United States; but we are ready to sustain by all proper means those who are now charged with that duty, to the full measure of our ability. without asking or desiring any offer of compromise to those engaged in armed rebellion against the best human government ever instituted "
This was South Windsor's decided utterance at the time when, the three-months volunteers having returned from the field, active recruit- ing was going on in the State, under the President's proclamation for 500,000 three-years volunteers. The regiments furnished by Connecti- ent comprised all raised up to and inchuling the 13th. The number enlisting from this town, in one or other of these regiments, up to July, 1862, was 38, no bounties to encourage enlistments having been offered by the town. The State furnished a monthly allowance to soldiers' wives and children. The amount thus received by South Windsor from the State Comptroller's office during the war was $5,795.94, the first

payment being made November 13, 1861, and the last 30th January, 1866.
The reverses following the MeClellan campaign in the spring and sinmer of 1862 occasioned two successive calls ( July and August ), one for 800,000 three-years, and the other for 300,000 nine-months men ; volunteering was not active ; the exigencies of the situation admitted of no delay : drafts were in prospective. The number to be furnished by this town under this call was 60; and a town meeting was hehl 26th July, 1862, to raise a tax, or in some way to raise money to encourage enlist- ments. The meeting voted a $100 bounty to any person who had or should enlist into any of the regiments being raised under the call be- fore the 20th day of August, 1862. Twenty-three men of South Wind- sor enlisted, nearly, if not all, before the date mentioned. August 20, 1862, another town meeting was held, with the object of offering the same bounty to any who would volunteer into the nine-months service. At this meeting Messrs. T. E. Bancroft, Nathan Willey, Lorin Loomis, and Seth Vinton were appointed a committee to "superintend and on- courage enlistments, and to use all proper means to raise a sufficient number of men to fill the quotas of this town for the three-years and mine-months' men, recently called for by the President."
September 1st (previous to which time 17 had enlisted for nine months) another town meeting was convened to " consider the propriety of increasing the bounty paid by this town to volunteers for nine months." Up to this time (the town's quota being 60) 23 had enlisted for three years, 17 for nine months -total 40, being 20 still to be furnished. The meeting raised the bounty to be paid the nine-months men, both those who had and those who should enlist, to $150 ; and. also, in case the quota should not be raised before the time ordered for the draft, the bounty to all nine-months men should be $200. The quota was not filled at time of draft, September 10, 1862. There ap- pear to have been but four volunteers the date of whose enlistment was later than the date of this meeting and previous to the September 10th. On that day the selectmen, Charles N. Pease and Samuel T. Avery, met at the house of Hardin Stoughton, in Wapping, and there conducted the draft -all persons enrolled having been previously warned to appear on parade at said place. Forty-three names were drawn, and the draft-lots fell upon twenty-six persons.
In the entire absence of any records both in town clerk's office and at the State Adjutant-General's office as to this draft, we are safe in asserting that none of those drafted at this time entered the service. Many were excused, and not a few " made themselves searre " in their acenstomed haunts. September 15th nine drafted men from South Windsor actually reported for duty at Camp Halleck, in Hartford ;

and an order emanating from the Adjutant-General's office, October 10, 1862, states that 14 were still wanting towards filling the town's quota, and orders another draft November 5th, unless the required number be furnished by 30th October. The draft was later postponed to 19th No- vember, and finally took place in but few towns in the State.
October 18th. At a town meeting warned for the purpose, it was voted to give all who had volunteered, personally or by substitutes, the sum of $200, on or after the 4th of July, 1863 ; provided the Legisla- ture will ratify the act, or pass an enabling act therefor. The treasurer was also authorized to borrow money to carry out the provisions of this vote.
Again, at a town meeting held November 5th, for the purpose of adopting measures to avoid the necessity of a draft (ordered for this day). it was " Resolved, that the Selectmen be instructed not to make any draft, at any time, on the order of the Governor, until the town of South Windsor is credited with all men that have enlisted at any time, or place, who were citizens of this town ; also, all persons who have been furnished as substitutes by drafted citizens of this town : and we hereby pledge the town to pay all fines and expenses that the Selectmen may be subject to for the non-fulfillment of such order." The select- men were also ordered to make careful enquiry as to all enlistments, drafted men, substitutes, etc., the just quota of the town, etc .: and re- port to an adjourned meeting to be heldl November 17th. At that meet- ing, however, no such report was handed in, and the meeting, after passing a resolution of censure upon the Governor for ordering a salute fired on account of the removal of MeClellan from the command of the Army of the Potomac, was declared dissolved by the chairman, Mr. Theodore Elmore.
It seems probable that the efforts of the selectmen had resulted in obtaining credit to the town of men who had previously been accredited (in the Adjutant-General's office) to other towns. There was no more drafting. Some of the nine-months men had already left the State, and all soon did, to take part in the various campaigns of the spring and summer of 1863.
Viewed in relation to the events of the war itself - which had thus far brought discouragement and disaster to the Union arms - the true significance of these evidences of local feeling in South Windsor are easily translatable.
But by the end of July, 1863, the seene of war had changed. Victory was everywhere felt along the Union lines, and at all points, excepting in Virginia, the Confederate cause was becoming more des- perate. At the height of the now rapidly culminating struggle, volun- teering was found to be inadequate to meet the demand for recruits, and

a new draft was ordered. The enrollment in this town was made by Messrs. Newton Willey and George O. Reynolds as enrolling officers. It caused much excitement and ill-feeling, and threats against persons and property were freely made. It was, no doubt, the cause of the burning of Mr. Oliver Cook's barn, June 23d, as Reynolds was a nephew of, and residing with, Mr. Cook at the time. That a similar loss did not happen to Mr. Willey's property was, perhaps, due to the fact that he was known to be fully prepared for any such attempt.
July 29, 1863, at town meeting, warned for the purpose, a bounty of $300 was voted to any person who should be drafted and liable to serve in the army ; and a sum not exceeding 810,000 was appropriated for the purpose.
August 11, 1863, at Hartford, the draft for the town of South Windsor was held, and 44 (out of 150 enrolled) were drawn, some of whom were exeused by the examining surgeon : a few disappeared from sight, and the rest furnished substitutes, with one exception, viz., William H. Gilbert, who entered the service, being assigned to the Eighth Connecticut Volunteers : was the only drafted man from South Windsor who served in the army. He had some time previously been rejected as a volunteer by the surgeons on account of deafness, and had not been in the service a week under this draft before a discharge was offered him : but he refused it, and served faithfully to the end of the war.
At a town meeting held August 21, 1863, the sum of $10,000 was appropriated for the purpose of giving assistance to all drafted citizens and to their families ; but this action was superseded by that taken at a meeting on 30th September, 1863, by which the sum of $300 was specifically ordered to be paid to the men drafted in 1863, and also to those drafted in September, 1862, who went themselves, or furnished substitutes to the amount of $150 =- of whom an examination of orders drawn on the town by the committee shows there were nine. Of the Ft drawn at Hartford, 11th August, 1863, 14 furnished substitutes, and one entered the service, making 15 to the credit of the town's quota, which was not filled as late as December 26th of that year, when a meeting was held to consider the matter of making it up under the late call for 300,000 men. Another President's call for 500,000 soon followed, and that the committee on enlistments was not inactive is evident from the fact that South Windsor's quota under both levies seems to have been lilled by June 1, 1864. It is a matter of history, however, that the strength of the army at this time was very little increased by the addi- tion of such rubbish as was added by these drafts. In March, 1864, Gen. Grant was appointed to the supreme control of the army, and fortune again befriended the Union cause ; in November Lincoln was re-elected

President, and in this political campaign, and for the first time during the war, South Windsor cast a ballot in sympathy with the opposition party, viz., 187 for MeClellan, 171 for Lincoln ; while its action in the spring of the same year had been 171 for Buckingham (Rep.), and 154 for Seymour (Dem.).
Under the President's call of December, 1864, for 300,000 men be- fore February 15, 1865, the town's action in providing for a future prob- able call for troops was commendably prompt. November 21st it was voted to pay any person liable to the draft 8300 in ease he shall volum- teer, or furnish a substitute, and that the committee should assist those who desired to furnish substitutes, etc. Under this vote, 16 persons furnished substitutes. But Lee's surrender, April, 1865, brought an end to the war, during which the town of South Windsor had been called upon to furnish 167 men, and at its close was credited, in the Adjutant-General's office, with 188-an excess of 21 over requirements. Of these 188, 87 were substitutes, but the State records show only 52 substitutes to the town's eredit ; if so, 35 of these 87 never reached the regiments to which they were assigned, and of the 52 who did 21 de- serted. Of the 188 from South Windsor, 6 were killed in action, 13 wounded, 18 died of disease, 17 were discharged before the expiration of their term of service, 7 held commissions, 13 were warrant officers. In round figures, the military expenses of the town during the war were 835,349; and, though the town was heavily in debt at the close of the war, the indebtedness was practically extinguished by 1870.
The most conspicuous figure in the field from South Windsor by virtue both of character and position, was Col. ALBERT W. DRAKE.
