Many residents of the county were of Southern birth and had rela- tives living there, and as a natural consequence hesitated long before deciding that it was best to commence the bloody attempt of coercion. It was cron that the institution of slavery was at the bottom of the whole trouble, but as yet the question of prosecuting a war to free the slaves was not seriously considered. The question of coercion was paramount. A majority of the people of Lawrence County favored coercive measures, and hence urged that President Buchanan should nip secession in the bud When the announcement came that the President had refused to do th :- as a violation of the Constitution, indignation was freely expressed. and the time for "Old Abe" to take the Presidential chair was ans: - ly awaited. But after that. when it was found that the new Administration was doing its best to adjust matters without the shedding of hkwal. and took no active and effectual steps to check by force, if neces- sary. the dissolution of the Union, many lost heart and hope. The clouds remained dark and portentous until the fall of Sumter. when the prompt call to arms cleared the sky with a blast and poured a food of hopeful light upon the appalling gloom.

THE FALL OF FORT SUMTER.

The news of the surrender of Fort Sumter reached Bedford and Mit- chell on the morning of Monday. April 15. 1861. and created the wild- est consternation and excitement. Crowds assembled to hear the opinions of political and social leaders. Farmers stopped the plow in the furrow aul galloped to town to catch the details. Business pursuits were almost wholly suspended. Immediate steps were taken both at Bedford and

Mitchell to raise volunteers, and heavy lists were enrolled. At Bedford George J. Brown, Robert McAfee and Samuel W. Short were especially active in soliciting names. In a few hours a company full to overflowing was raised. Mitchell did almost as well. Efforts in other parts of the county were partially successful, but upon learning that their services would not be needed. disbanded

THE ENLISTMENT OF VOLUNTEERS.

Immediately after the first excitement of the fall of Fort Sumter had subsided, prompt steps were taken to raise men for the war under the call for 75.000 volunteers. Not less than 200 men left the county with. in two weeks after the surrender, all or nearly all going to Indianapolis in the hope of getting in the three months' service; but all were disap. pointed. as the first call was filled to overflowing, many of the companies. perhaps a majority of them, containing more than the limit. Nearly all remained. however, in hopes of getting into the State's service for one year. and in this they would have been successful had it not been for the heavy calls of July and August for au aggregate of about 500, 000 men for three years. Nearly all who had gone out, and many others. iu all about 30.), enlisted for three years. Nearly an entire company enlisted in the Fifteenth and became Company F. with the following officers: Frank White, of Greencastle, Captain, afterward succeeded by Jere. miah E. Dean, of Bedford. The latter was at the start First Lieutenant. and was succeeded by Alfred F. Berry, who went out as Second Lieu- tenant, and was succeeded as such by Lycurgus Irwin. The men of this company were wrongfully credited to Putnam County. The Fifteenth Regiment to which it was attached, was first rendezvoused at Lafayette for the one year's State service, but was reorganized and mustered into the three years' service June 14, 1861, with George D. Wagner, Colonel.

THE FIFTEENTH REGIMENT.

The regiment left Indianapolis July 1. and moved to western Vir- ginia. It reached Rich Mountain while the battle of the 11th was in progress, and next day assisted in the pursuit and capture of spoils and prisoners. It occupied Elk Water Valley until November 19. taking part in the battle of Greenbrier and the repulse of Gen. Lee. Late in November it reported to Gen. Buell at Lonisville. It took an active part in Buell's campaign, fought at Shiloh, participated in the siege of Cor- inth, and the close of the battle of Perryville. It pursued Bragg to Cumberland Gap amid extreme hardships. In November, 1862, it was at Nashville, where Gustavus A. Wood became Colonel. It fought at Stone River December 31, 1862. and January 1 and 2. 1503, losing the appall- ing number of 197 men killed and wounded out of 440 engaged. It remained at Murfreesboro until June 24, taking part in numerous expe- ditions. It then participated in the movement on Tullahoma, then

encamped at Pelham, Tenn., until August 17, then advanced to Chatta- nooga. Here it performed post duty until just before the battle of Mission Ridge, in which engagement it suffered the almost unparalleled loss in killed and wounded of 202 out of 334 engaged -over sixty per cent. The next day it marched to relieve Gen. Burnside, at Knoxville. covering 100 miles in six days, on short rations and many without shoes. Here it remained on post duty until February, 1864. then moved to Chat. tanooga, and here a portion " veteranized."

They were mustered in for three years, Angust 16, as were the other companies of the regiment, all under Thomas Pattison, Colonel. N. H. Daniels was pro- moted Major. and Doil R. Bowden, Colonel. The regiment saw hard service, as will be seen from the sketch elsewhere in this volume.

VOLUNTEERS FOR THE TWENTY-FIRST REGIMENT.

In July quite a number of men entered Company F, of the Twenty. first Regiment, tive becoming members of the regimental band. These men were from Bedford. and the privates were from the western part of the county. Henry F. MeMillan, of Bedford, became Adjutant in August. 1862, and was continued as such under the reorganization of the Heavy Artillery. James W. McMillan. of Bedford, was Colonel of the regi- ment. commissioned July, 1861, and was promoted Brigadier-General November. 1862. and breveted Major-General March 5. 1865. This was the highest position reached by a resident of this county, and reflects great credit upon the possessor. In all, perhaps twenty-five men were in the Twenty-first from this county. Benjamin Newland was appointed Surgeon of the Twenty-second Regiment. August 12. 1861, but resigned November 4. 1862.

THE THIRD COMPANY FOR THE WAR.

An entire company was raised in June and July, 1861, for the Twenty-fourth Regiment, and was mustered in on the last day of July. It become Company A. and the following were the officers during the term of service: Hugh Erwin. George Sheeks and Charles H. Dunibue, Cap.

ward Captain. Besides the men already mentioned in the foregoing pages. many left the county to enter companies raised elsewhere, for whom it is doubtful whether the county received proper credit, on the 19th of September.

THE DRAFT OF OCTOBER, 1862.

In the early fall of 1562 it was determined by the State authorities, in order to bring backward townships throughout the State to the point of furnishing their quotas. to hold a draft, and accordingly a draft was ordered held in all townships behind in September, and was subsequently postponed to October 6, at which time it went into effect. Lawrence County made strenuous efforts to escape and succeeded. She was one of only fifteen counties in the State in which no draft was held on the 6th of October. For this she deserves great credit. However, there were draft officers appointed, to be ready to perform their duty should she be behind. Charles G. Berry was Draft Commissioner; James R. Glover. Provost Marshal. and John W. Newland. Surgeon: but the services of this trio were not required. September 19, 1862. Lawrence County was credited with the following state of military affairs by the State Enroll- ing Commissioners, who audited the reports ordered of the county and township Enrolling Commissioners: Total militia, 1, 732: total volunteers, 1.500: total exempts, 355: conscientiously opposed to bearing arms, none; total volunteers in the service. 1.500; total subject to draft, 1,374. There was no county in the State with a better showing than this. Think of it! From April. 1561. to September. 1562. the county was credited with having furnished 1.500 men under the various calls. It must not be understood. however, that the county had sent that number of different men into the service. As a fact each inan in that number was conuted as often a- lie enlisted, and quite a number were in several times: but this unmber could not possibly have exceeded 300, so that it may be safely concluded that 1.200 different men had gone from gallant Lawrence County prior to September 19. 1>62, to aid in the suppression of the slaveholder's rebellion. This is a grand exhibit, of which the citizens of the county may well be proud.

THE MINUTE MEN.

In July. 1563. the county furnished the large number of nine full com. panies to assist in repelling the rebel Gen. Morgan from the State. At no time during the war did excitement run higher than during the period of this raid. All kinds of false and bewildering rumors passed current with remarkable rapidity. and many expected to see the enemy in the county in a short time. A few days were sufficient to pour six com. panies into Mitchell from this county, and they were joined immediately by four companies from Orange. Washington and Monroe Counties. The regiment wa- called the One Hundred and Twelfth-Minute Men -and
