During the absence of the committees, the Ligonier Glee Club was invited to favor the meeting with music, and executed several very appropriate patriotic songs in their usual excel- lent manner. Col. Tousley was called to the stand and briefly addressed the Convention, in his usual earnest and patriotic manner. He was repeatedly cheered, and evidently possessed the confidence and esteem of his fellow-citizens to an enviable degree. He read a letter which the officers of the Twenty-first Indiana Artillery presented to Capt. Eden H. Fisher, upon the event of his taking leave of the regiment, which showed the high regard in which Capt. Fisher was held by his comrades in arms, both as a soldier and a man. During the reading of that letter, which so vividly set forth the misfortune of their companion whom they so highly esteemed, many an eye in that vast multitude glistened with "the tear that would obtrusively start," and spoke plainly that the audience, like his friends in the tented field, believed him to be "worthy of a better fate." And when it came to "Dear Fisher, God bless you," it met with a hearty response from that vast multitude Hon. William S. Smith being called upon for a speech, came forward and requested the "Red, White and Blue" to be sung, which was executed in a most admirable manner by Miss Ogden ; after which he responded in a manner such only as "Pop-gun" is capable of doing. He was followed by Col. Williams, who entertained the
ficiencies.

audience for a short time, in an eloquent and patriotic speech. On motion, a vote of thanks was tendered the gentlemen and ladies for their excellent music during the Convention. On motion, a committee of five was appointed to act as a County Central Committee for the coming year, as follows: J. R. Randall, N. Prentiss, George L. Gale, C. O. Myers and James C. Stewart.
Rousing meetings were held in the county on the 4th of July, 1863, upon the receipt of the news that Vicksburg had surrendered. Three companies of Home Guards were in attendance at Kendallville-a company from Swan Township, the Rome City Zouaves, and a Kendallville company. A glee club sang many patriotic airs. Guns, pistols, fire-crackers, etc., etc., filled the atmos- phere with smoke and noise and enthusiasm. Speeches were made by Messrs. Tousley, Axeline, Mitchell, Cissel, Smith, Stoney and Bartlett. Fire-works and bonfires were enjoyed at night. At Albion a large celebration was held, where much of the above was gone through with. Messrs. Alvord, Prentiss and others spoke to the crowd. It was fashionable those days to bring forward some wounded or furloughed soldier, place him on the stand, and cheer him to the echo. This was a bait used often to secure the enlistment of men. Beautiful ladies passed around the enlistment roll, and many a poor fellow whose bones
lie buried in an unknown grave in " Dixie " owes his death to his inability to say " No" to the entreaty of handsome women. A large celebration was also held at Ligonier. A troop of thirty young ladies on horseback passed along the streets, and led the vast crowd to a neighboring grove, wh ere Hon. J. T. Frazer and others fired the patriotism of the citizens with eloquence. Wearers of but- ternut breastpins had threatened to appear with them at the celebration ; but when a half dozen stalwart fellows circulated the report that any person seen wearing such pin would be pounded into a jelly, the pins were carefully con- cealed.
On the 3d of September, 1864, the Democrats held a large meeting at Albion, J. K. Edgerton and Andrew Douglas, of Columbia City, being the principal speakers. Both speakers denounced the Administration and the war. The latter said he had been opposed to the war from the first; had never encouraged one man to enlist ; would not have voted a man nor a dollar for the wicked war of the Abolitionists ; the North could never subdue the brave men of the South, who were fighting for their rights; declared that Lincoln was a traitor ; that he had horns, hoofs, and the snout of a swine, etc., etc. ; swore that the war was to make " niggers " equal to white men ; that it was to force white men to marry "nigger gals," and white girls to marry " buck niggers ;" that the Union troops could not take Richmond ; that they could not even take Atlanta. At that moment, tremendous cheering was heard on the outskirts of the crowd, which grew louder and louder until it burst into one grand, pro- longed "hurrah " from hundreds of loyal lips. The news had just been received that Atlanta had been taken. Such a scene as followed, Albion never saw before or since. Loyal minds and hearts in re-action were reeling with delirious joy. So intense became the excitement, and so great the commotion, that the Democratic speaking was entirely broken up. That night Albion gave

herself up to every species of wild and joyous demonstration. The Glee Club sang itself hoarse. Cheer upon cheer, "tiger " upon "tiger," rent the drowsy air of night. Thrilling speeches were delivered by Col. Williams, Col. Tousley, Nelson Prentiss, Fielding Prickett, and others, and the meeting was continued far into the night.
The following proceedings occurred at Kendallville when the news was received that Gen. Lee had surrendered :
On Tuesday evening an impromptu bursting forth and celebration broke out in this place, which eclipsed everything that ever took place here before. Somebody began to put candles and lamps up before windows, and others proceeded to follow suit, until a large number of buildings were lighted up. The " baby-waker" was brought out, and its exploding notes rang out over hill and valley. People began to gather in the windows, sidewalks and streets, until living, smiling quantities of humanity, little and big, hooped and unhooped, were to be seen almost everywhere. Rockets were sent up, and fire-works of different descriptions played a conspicu- ous part. Everybody seemed to feel that they had a right to celebrate in their own way, "subject only to the Constitution." The brass band discoursed soul-stirring music, and the Rimwhan- ticle Instant Born Company paraded the streets, dressed in a variety of paraphernalia, and armed with spears, clubs, boards, gongs, tin-pans, oyster-cans, horns, etc., etc., with unprece- dented effect. "Capt." Brace, with the shorn hat and immense countenance, performed the part of a brave and successful officer with brilliant effect. "Gen." Frank Hogan was all along the line, sometimes on the double-quick, and sometimes in other positions, and sometimes almost everywhere at once, giving orders and charging on Richmond and Lee's flying army gen- erally. We cannot speak too highly right here, but must subside by saying that this officer covered himself all over with impenetrable glory, and is the Gen. Grant of these parts of king- dom come. Jeff. Davis appeared in the drama, suspended on a tall pole, with his name upon him, and was carried through the streets, attracting profound attention. He finally "went up" in a chariot of fire. Somebody attempted to speak to the crowd, but there was an inspiration infinitely over and above words, and it boiled over them and drowned them out. What was talk compared with the surrender of Richmond and the smashing up of Lee's army, and the finally hopeful close of the rebellion ? Such impromptu gatherings are the best in the world if the spirit gets rightly infused and lighted up.
Immediately following this came the sad news that Abraham Lincoln had been assassinated. Kendallville lamented as follows:
The business houses were all closed in Kendallville on Wednesday last, and the insignia of mourning was to be seen all around. The bell was tolled and the cannon was fired at different intervals. At noon, the Presbyterian Church was packed to its utmost capacity. The center aisle was seated and filled by the military. The pulpit, orchestra, lamps, and other portions of the church, were draped in mourning. Even the elements, as Rev. Mr. Harrison remarked, in the heavy black clouds, the slow rumbling of thunder, and the apparent tear-drops fall of rain, seemed to be in unison and sympathy with the solemn exercises everywhere participated in and conducted by the people of the United States. Nature seemed to join in the great national mourning. Short addresses were made by Revs. Cressy, Meck and Harrison, Rev. Mr. Forbes assisting in the other neces- sary exercises of the occasion. The united choirs discoursed appropriate music. Services were also held in the German Lutheran and German Methodist Churches, and we learn also at the Christian Chapel.
Ligonier, Albion, Avilla, Rome City, Wolf Lake, and other villages held appropriate memorial services in sorrow and honor for the illustrious dead.

HISTORY OF NOBLE COUNTY.
Many of the citizens paid eloquent tributes to the noble life and character of the " Savior of his Country."
A thorough system of Soldiers' and Ladies' Aid Societies was established in Noble County during the war. Numerous committees were appointed to solicit anything that was likely to be needed by the boys in the field. Large quantities of blankets, shirts, drawers, socks, mittens, lints, bandages, canned fruits of all kinds, etc., etc., without end, were boxed up and sent to the boys of Noble County at the regimental hospitals or in the field. After the bloody battle of Stone River, where the troops from Noble County suffered severely, a car load of supplies was sent from Ligonier to the poor boys. Some four or five physicians of the county volunteered to go down and assist in taking care of the wounded and sick. Three of the doctors were Palmiter, Sheldon and Denny. People went around with pale, wo-begone faces, when it became known that a great battle had been fought, and perhaps lost, and that many brave fellows, relatives or neighbors, perhaps, had met with a tragical death. Unfortunately, but little authentic can be given regarding the work done by the societies. James S. Lockhart, of Ligonier, was very active in the work. A short time before the 4th of July, 1863, the citizens of Kendallville sent over $500 to the boys from that place, who were in the intrenchments about Vicksburg. It is safe to say that thousands of dollars in money and property were sent into the field for the boys. Indiana would have fared poorly during the war, with its disloyal Legislature and Supreme Court, had it not been for that grand man, Oliver P. Morton. He successfully confronted every opposer, and placed the State troops in the field with admirable dispatch. He pledged the credit of the State, and borrowed any quantity of money to pay soldiers' bounties and provide arms.
It seems necessary to give an outline of the service of those regiments which contained a considerable number of men from Noble County. These regiments were the Thirtieth, Forty-fourth, Seventy-fourth, Eighty-eighth, One Hundredth, One Hundred and Twenty-ninth, One Hundred and Thirty-ninth, One Hundred and Forty-second, One Hundred and Fifty-second, Seventh Cav- alry and Twelfth Cavalry. The Thirtieth was at first commanded by .Col. Sion S. Bass. It first moved to Indianapolis, thence to Camp Nevin, Ky., thence to Munfordsville and Bowling Green, and in March, 1862, to Nashville. It participated in the battle of Shiloh on the 7th of April, losing its Colonel, who was succeeded by Col. J. B. Dodge. Here the regiment lost in killed, wounded and missing about 130 men. It participated in the siege of Corinth, and moved with Buell's army through Northern Alabama, Tennessee and Ken- tucky, and also pursued Bragg. It took part in the three days' battle at Stone River, losing heavily ; and also at Chattanooga and Chickamauga, suffering se- verely at the latter place. It was in the campaign against Atlanta, fighting in all the battles. At Atlanta, it was consolidated into a residuary battalion of seven companies, under the command of Col. H. W. Lawton. It fought against

The Seventh Cavalry took the field in December, 1863. It moved to Louisville, thence to Union City, Tenn. It skirmished at Paris, Egypt Sta- tion and near Okalona, fighting severely all day at the latter place. In one charge it left sixty of its men on the field. During the entire fight it lost . eleven killed, thirty-six wounded and thirty-seven missing. It moved to Mem- phis, and finally to the support of Sherman's base of supplies. At Guntown, Miss., a desperate battle ensued, the regiment being driven back with a loss of eight killed, fifteen wounded and seventeen missing. Here it was highly com- plimented by Gen.
