THE REBELLION.


We come at last to that most important era in the history of our city, as well as of our whole country- the outbreak of the re- bellion. The patriotism of Jackson was instantly aroused, and hearts took fire as the reverbrating echos of the first gun at Fort Sumter rolled across the North, filling cities, towns and hamlets with its portentious sound. The following extracts from the city papers of the time, as well as briefer notes made up from recollec- tion, will give an idea of how our people met the treacherous spring of the secession serpent, and how gloriously they responded to the defence of their country :


Fort Sumter fired upon. A meeting of the citizens of Jackson, without distinction of party, was called at Jackson Hall, Monday

evening, April 15th, to consider the state of the Union, and give expression to the public feeling in reference thereto.


Meeting was called to order by Eugene Pringle, Esq., and on motion James C. Wood was called to the chair. Hon. M. Shoe- maker, C. W. Penny, J. O. Gunnison and Hon. P. B. Loomis were made Vice Presidents, and Melville Mc Gee and Chas. S. Ismon Secretaries. A committee of five, consisting of Amos Root, H. C. Mead, Eugene Pringle, H. H. Vandercook and John L. Mitchell, were appointed to present resolutions. The resolutions were then read and received with applause. Several patriotic songs were sung, including the "Star Spangled Banner," by Mr. Budington, assisted by the " Nationals." At the close the chair proposed six cheers for the Union and the enforcement of the laws. They were given by the whole audience with a will.


Never in the history of our city was there seen a public assem- bly equal to that of Monday night. The notice was brief, yet Jackson's immense hall was packed to overflowing. The speech of Hon. J. C. Wood was an able and noble effort. He was fol- lowed by Mr. Levi Gregg in a calm, deliberate and telling speech, full of good sense and patriotic sentiment. After the resolutions were read, Hon. M. Shoemaker made some remarks which called out the warmest applause of the vast audience. During his re- marks a tramping was heard upon the stairs, and the Jackson Grays pushed their way through the dense crowd and formed in front of the platform. They were received with immense cheers. Governor Blair was sent for and soon appeared, when the cheering was again renewed. Captain Withington then read a resolution which had that evening been adopted by the company, unanimously tendering their services to the Governor and through him to the General Government. Governor Blair then read a telegram from Washington, calling upon him for one regiment of volunteers. He then addressed Captain Withington, accepting the proffer, and then addressed the Grays and the audience in a most eloquent and fervid speech. Judge Avery, of Saratoga, N. Y., was next called out, and made a splendid effort. He was followed by Rev. J. Monteith, who blended the christian and the patriot in a peculiar- ly telling manner. P. B. Loomis and F. Livermore, Esq., were

called out and made brief speeches, after which some patriotic songs were sung by a glee club, and the meeting adjourned.


In the same paper appears the message of Governor Blair, call- ing for ten companies of volunteers.


April 25th. Gov. Blair left for Detroit yesterday, to arrange for mustering the various companies of the First Regiment into the U. S. Service. The company in this city are ready and an- xiously waiting for orders to march.


Rev. J. Monteith preached the farewell sermon to the Grays, after which each member of the Company was presented with a Bible, by the Rev. Mr. Abbott.


April 29th. Yesterday being the day set for the departure of the Grays, the greatest excitement prevailed throughout the day. In the morning people from the country began to flock in and at noon the streets were crowded; at nine o'clock the Company met at the Armory, and after forming and drilling a short time, Capt. Withington presented to each man, as a donation from our citizens, the following articles which had been donated and prepared prin- cipally by the ladies of the city and vicinity : two woollen shirts, two pairs of stockings, a pincushion, paper of needles and a little sack containing a supply of buttons, thread, &c., for which appro- priate and hearty thanks were returned by all. Rev. Mr. Mon- teith also presented Capt. Withington a purse of $110, the proceeds of the contribution of the Congregational Church Sunday even- ing, to be kept and used as a fund for the general benefit of all in any case of sickness or other extremity they may be called to endure. After dinner the knapsacks were packed and all things got ready for the march. The Fire Department turned out in full force to escort the Grays to the cars, and formed in the street in front of the Armory.

Dr. Tunnicliff, Surgeon of the Michigan First Regiment, desires us to thank the ladies of this city for their donation of one hun- dred and twenty-two hospital towels, and several other articles of great value to them. The Dr. thinks (and so do we) that the ladies of Jackson are incomparable in all respects, but particularly so in the graces of charity, industry, and patriotism. May they long continue in well doing.


The CITIZEN of Sept. 12th, 1861, contains extracts from two letters from Capt. Withington. The first, dated Aug. 14th, says, I read, play chess and wait on the wounded, having especial care of Col.

These two were the only regiments that were mustered in Jack- son, and which were raised in this section of the State ; but sever- al companies from here joined other regiments, and no county in the State, in proportion to its population, proved more brave and patriotic than Jackson.


We have not space to go into the details of the many incidents connected with the efforts of our people, of all ages, conditions and sex, to aid the cause of a threatened country. Nor can we devote space to that subject which would require so many pages-the DRAFT. Suffice it to say that in the summer of 1862 the Provost Marshal's office was opened in the Durand Block. The Board of Enrollment consisted of Capt. R. J. Barry, Provost Marshal; S. W. Fowler, Commissioner, and H. B. Shank, Surgeon. The Dis- trict was composed of five counties ; the number of men enrolled was 16,589, as follows : Eaton, 1,976; Ingham, 2,188; Calhoun, 3, 819 ; Washtenaw, 4,858; Jackson, 3,748. It seems that there were drafted in Jackson county, at different drafts, 197 men, 106 of whom commuted. The product of the draft to the army being 91 men. The total number of men raised by Jackson county dur- ing the war is estimated by the Adjutant General at 3,232. We have no means of knowing just how many of these were raised in this city, but it will probably amount to over one-third of the whole number.


The city was very busy during these times, the Governor's headquarters being here and thronged daily with applicants, officers, etc. Over 6,000 commissions were issued by Gov. Blair. After the war, Jackson was for nearly a year a continual camp of returned warriors. The following regiments reported to Jackson to be paid off and discharged :


Twentieth Infantry, June 4, 1865. (Several Artillery companies, from the Twenty-Sixth " 7, “ 21st June to Aug. 2d, 1865.
