This event was interpreted by the slaveholding States as meaning a change in the balance of power that would secure to the free States a controlling influence in the public affairs of the nation.
A little more than a month after the inauguration of President Lincoln, on April 12th, 1861, the signal of war was given by that aet which sent consternation to the hearts of all loyal people, the bombardment of Fort Sumter, a United States fortress in the harbor of Charleston, South Carolina. Three days after, the President of the United States issued a proclamation, calling for seventy- five thousand soldiers to enlist for the space of three months, it being the opinion of those in authority and loyal to the government, that this time would be sufficient for putting an end to the Rebellion. The citizens of Troy were not behind their fellow-citizens in manifesting their patriotism when the hostile cannon boomed upon Fort Sumter, but gave their support to the government.
Under this call New Hampshire was requested to fur- nish one regiment of infantry for three months, and Troy furnished one person: "First Regiment N. H. Volunteers. Three months. Charles H. Streeter, enlisted May 3, 1861; mustered out Aug. 9, 1861. Co. G."
A town meeting was held May 8, 1861. The town voted to guarantee to those who enlisted that their wages
207
THE REBELLION.
should be made up to them so that the amount should equal twenty dollars per month, and that ten dollars should be paid at the time of enlisting, which sum should be taken from their wages.
It was also voted that a committee be chosen and authorized to look after the families of those who should enlist and see that they were provided for. This committee consisted of David W. Farrar, Edwin Buttrick and Gregory Lawrence, and the selectmen were authorized to borrow a sum of money, not to exceed five hundred dollars, for the purpose of carrying the votes into effect.
At the session of the Legislature in June, an act was passed authorizing cities and towns to aid the families of volunteers and for other purposes. At a town meeting held Oct. 21, 1861, the selectmen were instructed to use any money not otherwise appropriated, for this purpose, or to borrow money if necessary to carry out the provis- ions of the act.
In the selectmen's report to the town at the annual meeting, March 11, 1862, the following account was given of expenses incurred on account of the war:
