ORGANIZATION OF THE STATE.
The last Territorial Legislature convened at Corydon, in December, 1815, and on the 14th adopted a memorial to Congress, pray- ing for authority to adopt a Constitution and State Government. Mr. Jennings, their delegate in Congress, laid the matter before
that body on the 28th; and April 19, 1816, the President approved the bill creating the State of Indiana. The following May an election was held for a Constitutional Con- vention, which met at Corydon June 15 to 29, John Jennings presiding, and William IIendricks acting as secretary.
The people's representatives in this As- sembly were an able body of men, and the Constitution which they formed for Indiana in 1816 was not inferior to any of the State constitutions which were existing at that time.
The first State election was held the first Monday of August, 1816, and Jonathan Jen- nings was elected Governor, Christopher Harrison, Lieutenant-Governor, and William Hendricks was elected Representative to Congress.
The first State General Assembly began its session at Corydon November 4, 1816, John Paul, Chairman of the Senate, and Isaac Blackford, Speaker of the House of Repre- sentatives.
This session of the Legislature elected James Noble and Waller Taylor to the Sen- ate of the United States; Robert A. New, Secretary of State; W. II. Lilley, Auditor of State, and Daniel C. Lane, State Treasurer.
The close of the war, 1814, was followed by a rush of immigrants to the new State, and in 1820 the State had more than doubled her population, having at this time 147,178. The period of 1825-'30 was a prosperous time for the young State. Immigration con- tinued rapid, the crops were generally good, and the hopes of the people raised higher than ever before.
In 1830 there still remained two tribes of Indians in the State of Indiana, the Miamis and Pottawatomies, who were much opposed to being removed to new territory. This state of discontent was used by the celebrated

HISTORY OF INDIANA.
warrior, Black Hawk, who, hoping to receive aid from the discontented tribes, invaded the frontier and slaughtered many citizens. Others fled from their homes, and a vast amount of property was destroyed, This was in 1832, and known as the Black Hawk war.
The invaders were driven away with severe punishment, and when those who had aban- doned their homes were assured that the Miamis and Pottawatomies did not contem- plate joining the invaders, they returned and again resumed their peaceful avocations.
In 1837-'38 all the Indians were removed from Indiana west of the Mississippi, and very soon land speculations assumed large proportions in the new State, and many ruses were resorted to to bull and bear the market. Among other means taken to keep out specu- lators was a regular Indian scare in 1827.
In 1814 a society of Germans, under Fred- erick Rappe, founded a settlement on the Wabash, fifty miles above its mouth, and gave to the place the name of Harmony. In 1825 the town and a large quantity of land adjoining was purchased by Robert Owen, father of David Dale Owen, State Geologist, and of Robert Dale Owen, of later notoriety. Robert Owen was a radical philosopher, from Scotland.
INDIANA IN THE MEXICAN WAR.
During the administration of Governor Whitcomb, the United States became in- volved in the war with Mexico, and Indiana was prompt in furnishing her quota of vol- unteers.
The soldiers of Indiana who served in this war were five regiments, First, Second, Third, Fourth and Fifth. Companies of the the three first-named regiments served at times with Illinois, New York and South Carolina troops, under General Shields, The
other regiments, under Colonels Gorman and Lane, were under other commanders.
The Fourth Regiment comprised ten con- panies; was organized at Jeffersonville, by Captain K. C. Gatlin, June 5, 1847, and elected Major Willis A. Gorman, of the Third Regiment, Colonel; Ebenezer Du- mont, Lieutenant-Colonel, and W. McCoy, Major. They were assigned to General Lane's command, and the Indiana volunteers made themselves a bright record in all the engage- ments of the Mexican war.
INDIANA IN THIE WAR FOR THE UNION.
The fall of Fort Sumter was a signal for an uprising of the people, and the State of In- diana was among the first to respond to the summons of patriotism, and register itself on the national roll of honor. Fortunately for the State, she had a Governor at the time whose patriotism has seldom been equaled and never excelled. Governor Oliver P. Morton, immediately upon receiving the news of the fall of Sumter, telegraphed President Lin- coln, tendering 10,000 troops in the name of Indiana for the defense of the Union.
The President had called upon the several States for 75,000 men; Indiana's quota was 4,683. Governor Morton called for six regi- ments April 16, 1861.
Hon. Lewis Wallace, of Mexican war fame, was appointed Adjutant-General; Colonel Thomas Morris, Quartermaster-General, and Isaiah Mansur, of Indianapolis, Commissary- General. Governor Morton was also busy ar- ranging the finances of the State, so as to support the military necessities, and to his appeals to public patriotism he received prompt and liberal financial aid from public- spirited citizens throughout the State. On the 20th of April Major T. J. Wood arrived from Washington, to receive the troops then organized, and Governor Morton telegraphed

the President that he could place six regi- ments of infantry at the disposal of the Gov. ernment; failing to receive a reply, the Legislature, then in extra session, April 27, organized six new regiments for three months service, and notwithstanding the fact that the first six regiments were already mustered into the general service, were known as " The First Brigade Indiana Vol- unteers," and were numbered respectively: Sixth Regiment, Colonel T. T. Crittenden; Seventh Regiment, Colonel Ebenezer Du- mont; Eightlı Regiment, Colonel W. P. Ben- ton; Ninth Regiment, Colonel R. H. Milroy; Tenth Regiment, Colonel T. T. Reynolds; Eleventh Regiment, Colonel Lewis Wallace. The idea of these numbers was suggested from the fact that Indiana was represented in the Mexican war by one brigade of five regiments, and to observe consecutiveness the regiments comprised in the first division of volunteers were thus numbered, and the entire force placed under the command of Brigadier-General T. A. Morris, with the following staff: John Love, Major; Cyrus C. Hines, Aid-de-camp, and J. A. Stein, Assistant Adjutant-General. They rendered valuable service in the field, returned to In- dianapolis July 29, and the six regiments, with the surplus volunteers, now formed a division of seven regiments.
