almost entirely ruling the action." With this class the mercenary was the impelling motive, and many of them, after securing the bounty fled to Canada, so that the term "bounty jumper" became a current and most expres- sive, as well as opprobions, one. In many eases the same person, after securing the bounty, would skip and re-enlist in another place, not unfrequently repeating the per- formanee two or three times. Along the Ca- nadian frontier, especially, this was a com- paratively easy matter. Very many of the recruits in eastern Michigan were drawn from Canada, although there is no warrant for say. ing that bounty-jumping was any more com- mon with this class of reernits than with any other class.
As showing the sentiment that prevailed with the people of the north during the war, and their determination to prosecute it to a finish, the following song, inspired by one of the earlier calls for troops, is worthy of re- production :
THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND MORE.
We are coming, Father Abraham, three hundred thousand more,
From Mississippi's winding stream and from New England's shore;
We leave our ploughs and workshops, our wives and children dear,
With hearts too full for utterance, with but a silent tear;
We dare not look behind us, but steadfastly be- fore;
We are coming, Father Abraham, three hundred thousand more.
If you look across the hilltops that meet the northern sky,
Long moving lines of rising dust your vision may descry;
And now the wind, an instant, tears the cloudy veil aside,
And floats aloft our spangled flag in glory and in pride,
And bayonets in the sunlight gleam, and bands brave music pour;
We are coming, Father Abraham, three hundred thousand more.
If you look all up our valleys where the growing harvests shine,
You may see our sturdy farmer boys fast forming into line;
And children from their mothers' knees are pull- ing at the weeds,

HISTORICAL SKETCHES.
And learning how to reap and sow against their country's needs;
And a farewell group stands weeping at every cottage door;
We are coming. Father Abraham, three hundred thousand more.
You have called us, and we're coming, by Rich- mond's bloody tide,
To lay us down, for freedom's sake, our brother's bones beside,
Or from foul treason's savage grasp to wrench the murderous blade,
And in the face of foreign foes its fragments to parade,
Six hundred thousand loyal men and true have gone before;
We are coming, Father Abraham, three hundred thousand more.
Canada was a land of resort for the south- ern people during the war. Many southern! families who were accustomed to spend the sunnner months at the north, chose Canada rather than the popular resorts in the north- ern States for their summer abode. These were sojourners rather than refugees. The refugees, however, formed much the larger proportion of the southern contingent in Can- ada. These were made up of refugees from the border States and of Confederate soldier- prisoners escaping and taking refuge in Canada.
Clement L. Vallandigham was an Ohio man, and an ex-Congressman. He was by conviction an ultra State Rights Democrat, and could not give his assent to a war which (if successful) must be fatal to the State Rights doctrine. He was outspoken in his views, was arrested by military authority while martial law was paramount, at the place of his residence, and was transported aeross the border into the Confederate lines. He made his way into Canada and took up his residence at Windsor, where he was, so to speak, the lion of the day, receiving many calls form prominent men of Michigan, who, while not sympathizing with his views, felt, at the same time, a degree of admiration for his spirit. The Democratie national conven- tion in 1864 met in Chicago, at which Mr. Vallandigham was in attendance, having braved whatever danger there might have
been of a re-arrest. This reference to a single fact of history is not with the view of recall- ing the causes of the partisan d'fferenees that existed forty years ago. It was inevitable that members of the Democratic party, of strong convictions, should look with little favor upon this war, although it was beyond the power of man to avert it. Mr. Vallan- digham was one of these. Ile was a man of marked ability, honesty and sincerity. A reference to his tragie end will be pardoned in this connection, though not strictly ger- mane to the matter in hand. He returned to his home and resumed the practice of the law. He was defending a man who was on trial for a murder alleged to have been committed with a pistol. In endeavoring to show how the shot might have been accidental, he placed a pistol in his pocket, and as he drew it out for the purpose of illustration, the weapon was discharged, the ball taking effect in his abdo- men.
During the war there were rumors at vari- ous times of plots, originating with the south- ern refugees in Canada against Detroit and other points along the border. One of these rumors was to the effect that a plot existed for firing the city on the night of October 3, 1863. It occasioned a whirl of popular ex- citement, the fire department and the local military companies were cantioned to be in readiness for any emergency, and a special citizen police was organized. Other rumors looked to the seizure of arms in the State armory at Detroit and in the government ar- senal at Dearborn. There was but one plot, however, that came to a head. This plot con- templated the seizure of the steamboat Philo Parsons, then plying between Detroit and Sandusky, the capture of the United States revenue cutter Michigan, the liberation of the Confederate prisoners on Johnson's Island, mn Lake Erie, and the prosecution of such further enterprises as, by the fortunes of war, might come in the way of the projectors. The seheme was undoubtedly a part of the plan of campaign projected or approved by the Con- federate government at Richmond, and Jacob

issued by Governor Crapo.
With the close of the war, the Michigan troops were the first to receive homing orders, the first to arrive being the Twentieth regi- ment, June 4, 1865, and the last the Third and Fourth, June 10, 1866. A welcoming address, in the form of a proclamation, was
Buchanan, was regarded as its chief organizer ers. and promoter in Canada. Those who were to be the active agents in the work held commis- sions from the Confederate authorities for both naval and land service. On the morn- ing of September 19, 1864, Bennet G. Bur- ley, who held a commission as an acting mas- ter in the Confederate navy, with several others, took passage on the Parsons at Detroit and were joined at Sandwich and Amherst burg, in Canada, where the Parsons called on her route to Sandusky, by others, some thirty in all. When near Middle Bass Island, in Lake Erie, those in command of the Parsons were made prisoners, and the boat was taken possession of by the plotters. They also cap- tured the steamer Island Queen, with some twenty-five United States soldiers on board. Failing to receive the signal of co-operation that was looked for on nearing Sandusky, the conspirators put about on a return course, touched at lighting Island, and landed their prisoners, and came to dock at Sandwich, where they abandoned the Parsons, and the boat was subsequently reclaimed by her own- Burley was arrested by the Canadian authorities, and was in due course surrendered to the United States and brought to Detroit from Toronto, where he had been confined. It was found that there was no law of the United States under which he could be tried for any offense. But his offense having been committed on the waters of Lake Erie, within the jurisdiction of Ohio, he was tried in an Ohio court for robbery. There was a disa- greement of the jury under the charge of the judge, that Burley, holding the commission of the Confederate States, his act was an act of war and not a common felony. Pending a second trial, Burley escaped from jail and returned to Scotland, his native country .*

+ In December, 1862, the Fifth, Sixth and Seventh regiments were formed into a brigade at Washington, under Col. Copeland as Brigadier General. The First regiment was afterwards added. The brigade is credited with having participated in 55 battles and skirmishes. After the close of the war a portion of the brigade was sent west to aid in quieting Indian troubles.

MEN OF PROGRESS.
The First Regiment of Light Artillery was formed under Col. C. O. Loomis, of Cold- water. The regiment consisted of twelve bat- teries, to which two were afterwards added. The regiment never served as a unit, the sov- eral batteries being assigned to service in vari- ous commands. Hence the facts of their his- tory cannot well be tabulated. The regiment carried on its rolls 3,333 officers and mnen. Battery "1," of the regiment, was the famous "Loomis battery," renowned for the effective- ness of its service, its dramatic history and the equally dramatie history of its commander. The story of the gruesome travels of the com- mander's remains after his death makes a pa- thetic chapter in the history of the war.
Michigan furnished forty-five regiments during the war. These, with an average of one thousand to each regiment, would repre- sent only one-half of the 90,000 credited to the State. But a number of the regiments were reorganized with an entire new enroll- ment, while many others received additions to make up for losses so as to keep their numbers good. Some of the regiments had on their rolls at different times over three thousand names. This will explain the apparent dis- crepancy between the number of regiments and the whole number of soldiers supplied by the State. In "Michigan in the War," page 62-3, is a tabular exhibit showing the number of troops apportioned to each county under the several calls, and the number supplied by enlistment and by draft.
As supplemental to any history of the civil war, a reference to the Grand Army of the Republic-familiarly designated by its initial letters, G. A. R .- cannot well be omitted. The organization was first proposed by Major. B. F. Stephenson, of Springfield, Illinois, and was perfected at that place in 1866. Its ob- jects are officially stated to be:
1. To preserve and strengthen those kind and fraternal feelings which bind together the soldiers, sailors and marines who united to suppress the late rebellion, and to perpetuate the memory and his- tory of the dead.
2. To assist such former comrades in arms as need help and protection, and to extend needfu!
aid to the widows and orphans of those who have fallen.
3. To maintain true allegiance to the United States of America, based upon a paramount respect for, and fidelity to, its constitution and laws; to discountenance whatever tends to weaken loyalty, incites to insurrection, treason or rebellion, or in any manner impairs the efficiency and permanency of our free institutions; and to encourage the spread of universal liberty, equal rights and justice to all men.
In September, 1866, Gen. R. A. Alger went to Pittsburgh, Pa., and was made a mem- ber of the order. In May, 1867, at a gather- ing of soldiers and sailors in Detroit, an or- ganization was perfected and Gen. Alger was chosen department commander. He served until March 28, 1868, when, at an encamp- ment held at Detroit, Gen. Wm. A. Throop was elected to that office. At Lansing, Janu. ary 27, 1869, at an encampment held, Col. Wm. Humphrey was elected. In 1870 Col. C. J. Dickerson, of Hillsdale, was elected, and during this administration the order in Michi- gan virtually disbanded, as it did in several other of the western States, said to have been because of politics entering the counsels of the order.
The supplement to the last published jour- nal of the encampment, held at Port Huron in June, 1898, is introduced by this para- graph :
"In March, 1878, the Provisional Depart- ment of the Grand Army of the Republic in Michigan, barely existed. There were sup- posed to be in existence four posts-in reality there were but two that showed any life."
From this it would appear that a provi- sional organization existed, with a view to the formal reconstruction of the order in the State. This was undertaken by Col. C. V. R. Pond, of Quincy, Branch County, who was appointed by the commander-in-chief of the national organization as "Commander of the Provisional Department of Michigan." The formal reorganization was effected at a meet- ing held in Grand Rapids, January 22, 1879. Col. Pond was elected department commander and was elected for a second year in 1880. The annual gatherings of the order are known

as encampments, the last one having been held at Petoskey, June 21-22, 1899, being the twentieth annual encampment under the reorganization. The order is distinctively military in its official nomenclature and in its forms and methods. Subsequent department commanders have been: A. T. McReynolds, Byron R. Pierce, O. A. Janes, R. J. Shank, Chas. D. Long, Jolm Northwood, L. G. Ruth- erford, Washington Gardner, Michael Brown, H. M. Duffield, C. L. Eaton, Henry S. Dean, J. H. Kidd, Louis Kanitz, S. B. Daboll, Wni.
Shakespeare, A. T. Bliss and Alex. I .. Patrick. Russel R. Pealer was chosen at the Petoskey encampment in 1899. Col. Pond has been for some years past the assistant adjutant-general and practically in charge of the executive work of the order, having an office in the capitol building at Lansing. The order has official recognition in various acts of the Leg- islature, and its reports are addressed to the governor. The number of posts in the State June 30, 1899, was 355, and the total mem- bership 15,237.
THE WAR WITH SPAIN.
War Loan Authorized-Mobilization of the Na- tional Guard-Regiments Mustered In-Sum- mary of Their Service-Gen. Henry M. Duffield- Col. Cornelius Gardner-The Naval Reserves.
Early in the year 1898 a conflict of arms between the United States and Spain became inevitable. The legislature being in session, a loan of $500,000 was authorized to meet the exigency that was expected to arise, and to enable Michigan to act promptly in meeting any demand that might be made upon her for troops for the national service. On April 23, 1898, President McKinley issued his procla- mation calling for 125,000 volunteers to en- gage in the war with Spain. Michigan's quota of this number was 4,104, to consist of four regiments of infantry of 1,026 officers and men each. On the following day Gen- eral Order No. 5 was issued for the mobiliza- tion of the entire Michigan National Guard at Island Lake April 26, 1898, and the work of re-forming the Michigan National Guard to meet the exigency of the call made upon it by the President, was undertaken. The four regiments were designated as Thirty-first, Thirty-second, Thirty-third and Thirty-fourth Michigan Volunteer Infantry, following in numerical order the infantry regiments of the civil war. On May 25 an additional regi- ment from Michigan was called for by the President, and was numbered as the Thirty- fifth. The five regiments were mustered as follows:

The Thirty-third and Thirty-fourth Michi- gan formed part of the expedition under con- mand of Gen. Shafter against Santiago, and bore their full share of the hardships and dan- gers of that expedition .*
Col. Henry M. Duffield, of Detroit, was ap- pointed a brigadier-general of volunteers May 27, 1898, and was in command of a brigade embracing the two regiments last named and the Ninth Massachusetts. He was the only general officer appointed to a command in the volunteer service from Michigan during the war.
While the Thirty-first, Thirty-second and Thirty-fifth regiments were never under fire, they were ready and eager for active service when the bugle sounded. After American rule was established in Havana, the Thirty-first regiment was one of those chosen for the policing of the island in order to prevent law- lessness and possible insurrections in the in- terior.
