IHISTORY OF ST. CLAIR COUNTY.
MILITARY HISTORY.
The volunteers for service in Mexico, from this county, who enlisted in Capt. Buel's Company in October. 1847, were Thomas P. Gilman, John Doyle, Samuel MeArgg, Hiram Hall, Amos Hall, John Wade. Thomas R. Smith, Horace Cartwright, Stephen Reaves, Jeremiah Hanifan, William A. Woodard, Hiram W. Carpenter, John A. Sanborn, Enoch Jones. Peter Crane, Jacob Spickerman, Lyman Snow, Edwin Snow, David Buel, John Clark, George Whipple, William Stephens, George A. Campbell, George Wheeler. The officers were Capt. Buel, First Lieut. Delos Davis, Second Lieuts. J. E. King and E. Hawes. These soldiers, together with the regulars garrisoning Fort Gratiot at the commencement of hostilities, may be considered the only troops known in Michigan who took part in the war. Only a few volunteers went from Detroit. A supper was tendered to these soldiers at St. Clair, November 9, 1817; speeches were made by Judge Copeland, M. HI. Miles, and others.
The company was mustered into service November 13, 1817, and left for the front after Christmas. On January 16, the command left New Orleans for Vera Cruz.
THE WAR FOR THE UNION.
When Pericles was called upon to deliver the oration over the soldiers who had fallen in the first campaign of the Peloponnesian war. he began by extolling Athens, and having expa- tiated upon her glories, her institutions and her sciences, concluded by exclaiming. "For such a republic, for such a nation, the people whom we this day mourn fell and died." In referring to the roll of honor, which nearly twenty years ago combined to defeat treason in this Repub- lie, it may not be inappropriate to recur briefly to the condition of that country when the mighty arm of military power was invoked that the majesty of the law might be maintained. The Nineteenth Century dawned upon a nation glorious in the promise of a prophetic infancy. Tyranny and oppression, twin offspring of an inhuman parent, had been strangled but a few years before. In 1860, the development of the resources of the States was but just beginning. and, under an acceptable and wholesome form of government, progressing rapidly. The finances of the country, notwithstanding the panic of 1857, were in a healthy and promising condition. Money was plenty, times "Hush," to use a suggestive expression of the day; the factory and the loom made music all the years long, and the voice of the husbandman was heard amid the fields of ripening grain. Everywhere and on every side evidences of pros- perity were manifest. In the bleak North Atlantic States and the Sunny South. at the East and in the city beside the bay whose waters ebb and flow through the Golden Gate, comfort, contentment and happiness formed the trinity to be found at every fireside. The commercial and marine interests were second to none on the globe; its paper was "gilt edged," to express it commercially. and the white sails of America's shipping were almost as numerous on the sesa as the white caps that crested the waves. Immigration from Continental Europe landed on our shores in an endless stream. contributing to the wealth as well as to the horny-handed ele- ment of strength and industry, without which nations go down to welcome penury and forget- fulness. At every hearthstone and in every household, when the thoughts of home and coun - try came, a prayer of thanksgiving went up to the Great Father that our love was not lavished in vain, and man was enabled to rise from the sorrows and disappointments of his every-day life as sunset's red glories, or the moon's silver hair floating down the broad-breasted mountains.
The rumbling of the coming storm had been heard at intervals in the halls of Congress, on the stump, in the pulpit, at the hustings, when a Toombs or a Yancey lifted up a voice in defense of the slave power and its extension into the Territories. But its admonitions came and went as the idiosynerasies of radical intolerance. As a result. many have gone before, and wait upon the threshold of Paradise for the coming of those loved ones left behind, who have

exchanged the feeble pulses of a transitory existence for the ceaseless throbbings of eternal life. Faithless and fearless on the march, in the strife and at the victory or defeat, they at last laid down at the mysterious frontier, leaving the exalted hope behind that, though the world was lost forever, there would be unfurled another realm of unimaginable glory, where they and all whom they loved on earth, might realize the promise which the Great Ruler of the universe has made unto the just. These idiosyncrasies, as will be remembered, culminated on the 12th of April, 1861, when Fort Sumter, off Charleston, was fired into by the rebels. Nothwithstanding this overt act of treason, this first act in the bloody reality which followed, was looked upon as mere bravado; but when, a day later, Maj. Anderson's surrender was an- nounced, the patriotic people of the North were startled from their dream of the future, from undertakings half completed, and made to realize that behind all there was a dark, deep and well-determined purpose to destroy the Government, and upon its ruins erect an oligarchy, the corner-stone of which should be slavery. But the dreams of these marplots were doomed to disappointment. Their plans for the establishment of a Southern Confederacy were to be overthrown, if not in their inception. before realization. Immediately upon the promulgation of the news of the surrender, President Lincoln, who but a few short weeks before had taken the oath of office, issued his call for troops in the following
PROCLAMATION.
Whereas, The laws of the United States have been, and now are, violently opposed in several States by combinations too powerful to be suppressed in the ordinary way; I, therefore, call for the militia of the several States of the Union to the aggregate number of 75,000 to suppress said combination and execute the laws. I appeal to all lawful citizens to facilitate and aid in this effort to maintain the laws and the in- tegrity of the perpetuity of the popular government, and redress wrongs long enough endured. The first serv- ice assigned to the forces, probably, will be to repossess the forts, places and property which have been seized from the Union. Let the utmost care be taken, consistent with the object, to avoid devastation, de- struction, interference with the property of peaceful in any part of the country; and I hereby command the persons composing the aforesaid combination to disperse within twenty days from date.
I hereby convene both Houses of Congress for the 4th day of July next, to determine upon measures of public safety, which the interest of the subject demands.
WILLIAM H. SEWARD, Secretary of State.
ABRAHAM LINCOLN, President of the United States.
The gauntlet cast down by the traitors of the South was thus accepted in a firm, deter- mined spirit of patriotism and love of country. The world knows with what ready assent the people of the North responded to the call for the defense of that Union they hoped to preserve. The world knows how they, in the strength of this hope, struggled and fought with the legions of wrong until the armor of many was caught in the glint and sunlight of eternity, ere the dews had gone to heaven or the stars had gone to God.
There was no wavering, if there had been a disposition to waver. The people were united in sentiment and prompt in action. The pen could be employed for months in sketching the uprising of the people, the formation of companies, and telling of the deeds of valor and hero- ism of the "boys in blue." From this county there is material here for volumes upon volumes, and it would be a pleasing task to collect and arrange it, but no word our pen could employ would add a single laurel to their brave and heroic deeds. Acts speak louder than words, and their acts have spoken- are recorded in pages already written. The people of no county in any of the States of the Freedom and Union-loving North, made a better record during the dark and trying times of the great and final struggle between freedom and slavery-patriotism and treason-than the people of St. Clair. Monuments may erumble, cities may fall into de- cay, the tooth of time may leave its impress on all the works of man, but the memory of the gallant deeds of the army of the Union in the war of the great rebellion, in which the sons of their country bore such a conspicuous part, will live in the minds of men so long as time and civilized governments endure. The people were liberal. as well as patriotic, and while the men were busy enlisting, organizing and equipping companies, the ladies were no less active. Committees were appointed to look after the necessities and to secure comfort to the families of those who enlisted. The spirit of the resolutions of the Board of Supervisors, adopted in 1861, and carefully fostered by the board throughout the years of the war, pervaded almost the en - tire community, which was divided into committees, and each committee assigned a duty. Ear-

nestly and honestly did each committee do its work. There were no laggards. no niggards. Men and money were given by tens and hundreds and thousands. No one halted to connt the costs. The life of the nation was at stake, and the people were ready to sacritico all, every- thing for the preservation and maintenance of the Union.
" A union of lakes, a union of lands- A nion that none can sever- A union of hearts, a union of hands. The American Union forever."
It would be interesting to record the money contributions-voluntary as well as by means of taxation-made by the people during the years of the rebellion, but that would be impossible. Of the former, no accounts were kept. People never stopped to reckon the cost, or to keep account of what they gave. Whenever money was needed for any purpose, and purposes and needs were plenty, it was given and paid on demand. There were no delays, no excuses, no "days of grace, " no time for consideration demanded. People were ready and willing. Hus- bands and fathers abandoned homes and their comforts, their wives and little ones for the dan- gers of tented fields of battle, assured that, in their absence, plenty would be provided for their loved ones. Because of this knowledge, their dreams were none the less sweet, nor their slumbers less refreshing, even if their beds were made upon mother earth, and their covering only that of the starry dome above.
