squad started for it, but in the meantime Captain Anthony Defrees had collected around him, in the printing office," five or six men all well armed. As soon as one of the' squad put his foot on the stairway, the cap- tain warned him that if he came any further it would be at the peril of his life; then he would back out, and another would come as if he intended to go right up, but as soon as he saw five or six guns leveled at him, he would suddenly conclude that it would not be a healthy undertaking and would back out. The squad would leave and another would come more determined and threatening than their predecessors, but as soon as the old captain' and his men would level their guns on them, their courage would ooze out and they would retire in good order. And so they kept coming and going for three or four hours. They had swords and pistols, but no guns, and they knew some one would get hurt before they could get Captain Defrees and his men out of that hewed-log house and con- sidering discretion the better part of valor, marched off without exterminating John D. Defrees or his printing office, and were always afterwards recognized and known as "the bloody three hundred."
This closes the history of our connection with the Black Hawk war. The unrequited services of that valiant corps under Captain Dayton is but another instance of the ingrati- tude of a republic.
II. OTHER EARLY WARS.
There were no white inhabitants in this territory during the periods of our first two wars, the Revolutionary war and the war of 1812, both with Great Britain. Two soldiers of the Revolution, however, lived here for some time, and their bodies now repose in the old City Cemetery; they were Peter Roof, senior, and Isaac Ross. Several soldiers of .the war of 1812, likewise resided in the county many of them amongst our prominent early settlers. Some of these honored soldiers were : Thomas J. Allen, John B. Chandonai, Daniel
a. The "hewed-log house" in which The Beacon was then published was on the southwest corner of St. Joseph street and Pearl street, now Vistula avenue.
b. Captain Anthony Defrees was an uncle of John D. and Joseph H. Defrees, and it was on his invitation that they had come from Piqua, Ohio, to South Bend.

Cottrell, Ransom Curtis, Theophilus Case, Archibald Defrees, Christopher W. Emerick, Daniel Heck, Christopher Lenz, Artemus Johnson, Peter Johnson, John Mack, Senior, Jesse K. Platz, Jehu Meredith, Peter Roof, Junior, Claybourne Smith and John Sample. John B. Chandonai (the name was locally pro- nounced, sometimes spelled, "Shadney"), was a half-breed Indian, and was a trusted scout employed by Generals Lewis Cass and William Henry Harrison. He was distinguished for his courage and his shrewdness and quickness of understanding. Alexis Coquillard, as we have already seen, was also engaged in the service of General Harrison's army, although he was not an enlisted soldier, being indeed but a boy at the time of the war of 1812.ยช
St. Joseph county was scarcely better, if as well, represented in the Mexican war. The majority of the inhabitants were Whigs; and there were besides many influential citizens of abolition proclivities. The Mexican war was therefore not looked upon with any great degree of enthusiasm. There were a few brave soldiers from the county, however, among them : Henry J. Blowney, John H. Fisher, George F. Frank, Hugh L. Hinds, Edwin T. Lucado, John Owen, John Pendl, Moses Pel- tier, John B. Raymond, Albert Steinbeck, William S. Saunders, Eugene N. B. Sweet- land and Frank X. Vilare. Several of these were afterwards found in the ranks of the Union army, the most distinguished of them being Henry J. Blowney, who attained the rank of major in the Civil war. Major Blowney likewise had a distinction of quite another kind. He was a sign painter, and an artist in his line; and among the men for a time in his employment was the Hoosier Poet, James Whitcomb Riley. The poet has often spoken with tenderest recollections of Major Blowney and of his other friends while he was a resident of South Bend.
III. THE WAR FOR THE UNION.
Sec. 1 .- ENLISTMENTS .- On April 12, 1861, a. See Chap. 4, sub. 4, sec. 1.
Fort Sumter was fired upon. On April 14, 1861, the news came that Major Anderson and the garrison were compelled to surrender the fort. On April 15, 1861, President Abraham Lincoln issued his call for seventy-five thou- sand men for the defence of the Union, to serve for three months unless sooner dis- charged. On the same day, April 15. 1861, Governor Oliver P. Morton sent to the presi- dent the following dispatch: "On behalf of the state of Indiana, I tender to you, for the defence of the nation, and to uphold the au- thority of the government, ten thousand men."
On Monday evening, April 15, 1861, a meet- ing was held in the old court house in South Bend. Party was forgotten. Democrats and Republicans stood shoulder to shoulder in the packed court room. Dr. John A. Henricks was made president; Ariel E. Drapier, of the Forum, and Judge John D. Robertson, vice presidents, and E. E. Ames, E. R. Farnum and William H. Drapier, secretaries. Michael Boynes played the national airs, which they were so soon to play in the field at the heads of regiments. Speeches were made by Dr. Henricks, Schuyler Colfax, Ariel E. Drapier, William Miller, William G. George, Andrew Anderson, William F. Lynch and others. Cap- tain Lynch was then a professor at Notre Dame, where for one or two years previous he had been at the head of a crack college mili- tary company, the Continental Cadets, uni- formed in the buff and blue of the army of the Revolution, and drilled in the tactics of Ellsworth's Zouaves. None of those present at that meeting, except Captain Lynch him- self, had any practical knowledge of military affairs; they had never even seen a military company, except the Continentals on some holiday as they had marched through the streets of the town, or, perhaps, on their way to the railway station to visit Goshen or La- porte. The speech of Captain Lynch was full of a fiery patriotism that carried the audience with his enthusiasm. The brilliant officer soon after returned to his home in Illinois, where

he raised the Fifty-eighth Illinois volunteer infantry. He became a distinguished soldier, attaining to the rank of brigadier general, and for a time commanded a division, when he was disabled by a gunshot wound, from the effects of which he ultimately died. Nothing in his brilliant career did him more credit than the eloquent speech he made in that patriotic meeting in our old court house, on April 15, 1861.
On the same evening a like meeting was held at Mishawaka, at which George Milburn presided. Speeches were made by Mr. Mil- burn and by Messrs Niles, Merrifield, Cowles, Hurlbut, Butterworth, Thomas, Fuller, Jud- son and Minzie. Another meeting was held in South Bend on Friday evening, April 19, 1861, a committee was appointed to collect subscriptions to aid in forming and equipping volunteer companies and to provide for the families of volunteers. The committee was as follows: Greene Township, Jackson Greene, Daniel Greene, Thomas L. Holloway; Clay, Thomas P. Bulla, G. E. Benton and Jacob Eaton; German, John F. Ullery, Reuben Dunn and A. J. Hatfield; Olive, Jeremiah H. Service, Thomas J. Garoutte and John Rey- nolds; Warren, J. E. Mikesell, Goble Brown and William Cram; Liberty, George H. Lor- ing, C. W. N. Stevens and Samuel Loring; Union, John Jackson, John Moon and C. J. Turner; Center, Edwin Pickett, David R. Leeper and John Rush. A disbursing commit- tee, to take charge of the contributions, was also appointed, consisting of Isaac Ford, Elias V. Clark, Joseph H. Massey, Samuel L. Cott- rell, John T. Lindsey, John W. Chess and Caspar Rochstroh. In harmony with these arrangements was the organization of a Volunteer Aid Association, effected on the oc- casion of the first meeting, to equip the com- pany that was to be formed, and to support the families of the volunteers. Thus was the spirit of organization and systematic prep- aration for the great conflict manifested. It was the instinctive principle of American self- government, always present in the hearts and
minds of the people, ready to be called forth when the occasion required.
The first military company to be organized for service in St. Joseph county took its de- parture from South Bend on Friday, April 19, 1861, four days after the president's call, being the first from northern Indiana. The company left the Lake Shore depot for In- dianapolis in the presence of a multitude of neighbors and relatives, many of them moth- ers, wives, sisters and sweethearts. Such scenes, alas! were to become frequent enough in a very short time; and friends and relatives were to bid adieu to dear ones, not for "three months unless sooner discharged," as in this case, but for "three years or during the war." These St. Joseph county volunteers became Company I of the Ninth regiment, Indiana infantry volunteers, three months' men. The Ninth regiment was mustered into the serv- ice at Indianapolis, April 25, 1861, under Colonel Robert H. Milroy. It was the first regiment to leave the state, departing for West Virginia May 29, 1861, and arriving at Grafton on the first of June. The regiment was attached to a column under Col. Kelley, sent to surprise the enemy encamped at Phil- ippi, on June 3, 1861. It was afterwards as- signed to General Morris's brigade, and took part in many marches and skirmishes and in engagements at Laurel Hill and Carrick's Ford. The regiment returned home in July and was discharged at Indianapolis on the termination of the period of enlistment.
The company which thus went out from St. Joseph county and returned is chiefly noted for the heroic death of one of its members, John Auten, who was killed in a scouting ex- pedition on the afternoon of July 10, 1861, being the first man killed from St. Joseph county. He was in the 22nd year of his age. He was not detailed, but volunteered of his own accord, on the scouting party, which was taken from another company. He was much beloved by his comrades and by those who knew him as a worthy farmer's boy, and so his body was sent home for burial. The fu-

neral was held on August 2, 1861, in the very court room where he had enlisted three months before. Not less than five thousand people attended the services and followed the young soldier's body to its last resting place in the city cemetery. He was our first martyr, and his name is proudly borne by his surviv- ing comrades of the oldest grand army post in the state, Auten Post No. 8, Department of Indiana, G. A. R.
The original muster roll of our first com- pany, Co. I, Ninth Indiana, three months' men, is as follows:
Andrew Anderson, Captain. Henry Loring, First Lieutenant. Henry J. Blowney, Second Lieutenant. Edward P. Chapin, Sergeant. James Doolittle, Sergeant. Isaac M. Pettit, Sergeant. John Q. Wheeler, Sergeant. Willis H. Pettit, Corporal. George W. Hollingshead, Corporal. James H. M. Jenkins, Corporal. Nathan Kreighbaum, Corporal. Henry L. Badger, Musician. Charles S. Morrow, Musician.

As soon as Co. I, Ninth regiment, three months' service, was mustered out, steps were
taken to reorganize the company for three years' service. By that time it had become apparent that enlistment in the army was to be for no holiday excursion; the war was on in dead earnest. While the enemy had learned that one "Reb" could not whip five "Yanks," we also had reached the conclusion that one "Yank" was no match for two "Rebs " It was American against American, and the God of battles alone could know what was to be the outcome.
The following was the muster roll for the new Co. I, enlisted for "three years or during the war":
James Houghton, Captain. Isaac M. Pettit, First Lieutenant. William Merrifield, Second Lieutenant. James Nutt, Orderly Sergeant. Seth B. Parks, Sergeant. Frank W. Childs, Sergeant. Lewis A. Holliday, Sergeant.

The Fifteenth infantry was originally mus- tered at Lafayette, in May, 1861, in the three months' service. On the reorganization for three years, it was mustered at the same place on June 14, 1861, with George D. Wagner as colonel. Company B lost six men in killed and twelve from wounds or disease. Captain Fowler was promoted to major and after- wards to colonel of the Ninety-ninth regiment. John E. George was promoted from lieutenant to captain. Edwin Nicar was promoted from sergeant to second lieutenant and then to first lieutenant of Company A. Joseph Haller was promoted from sergeant to second lieutenant and then to first lieutenant. Edwin Turnock was promoted from corporal to second lieuten- afit and then to captain.
The regiment arrived in West Virginia in time to take part in the battle of Rich Moun- tain, July 11, 1861. It participated in the battle of Green Brier, October 3, 1861. In November, 1861, the regiment was sent to re- port to General Buell at Louisville. It was with Buell's army in the second day's battle at Shiloh. The regiment was at Stone's River under Rosecrans and took part in the engage- ment at Tullahoma and afterwards in the battle of Missionary Ridge, where it lost two hundred and two out of three hundred and thirty-four engaged. It afterwards went to the relief of Burnside at Knoxville. A part of the regiment was mustered out at Indian- apolis, June 14, 1864; another part being re- enlisted veterans and recruits, was attached to the Seventeenth Indiana mounted infantry, and discharged with that organization, Au- gust 8, 1865.
The Twenty-ninth infantry went out under Colonel John F. Miller of South Bend, who afterwards became a distinguished general, and after the war a United States Senator. Enlistments in several companies of this regi-
ment took place from St. Joseph county as follows :
John F. Miller, Colonel. Henry J. Blowney, Major. James B. McCurdy, Quartermaster. Joseph C. Reed, Chaplain. Louis Humphreys, Surgeon. John M. Stover, Assistant Surgeon. Jacob R.
