An extract from the "Census of Pensioners for Revolutionary or Military service" of June 1, 1840, will doubtless prove inter- esting, in that it shows who such pensioners were in Salem at this time and with whom they resided.

The part played in the Mexican war by soldiers from Salem is as obscure as in the War of 1812. Since there was no general call for troops no local companies were enlisted. The records of individuals could doubtless be obtained at Washington, but the state records in the office of the adjutant-general make no mention of them. We have unofficially, however, names of three men from Salem: Moses D. and Hiram Rowell, brothers, and Hiram Roby, who now lives at the Depot with Mr. John Hunt.
Our interest next centers in the great struggle of the Rebel-

lion. The story of that war which won for America so much, and at so terrible a cost, has been far too ably told to permit us even to give a review of it in these pages. Nevertheless some features of it are too closely related to the history of our town to be omitted entirely. The records of the town for this period are notably quiet in regard to military affairs, a condition due probably to the absence of so many of the men naturally active in town matters, and to the commonness of the subject. All minds were concerned with the war, and doubtless it seemed commonplace material for inserting in town records.
We have collected such entries as throw any light upon the doings of the times, and give them here in the form of a running commentary. These extracts from the records are interspersed with items from the contemporary journal of the late James Ayer.
As the first indication of local interest in the controversy over slavery, the town caught up the excitement felt in Massachusetts over the arrival of a fugitive slave in Boston in 1858. Before this time there had been much discussion on the subject of the strained relations between the two great sections of the country, but the slave hunter at our very doors put things in an entirely different light. Then on Dec. 2, 1859, came the news of the fate of John Brown, who was to be executed that day. The sen- timent here was that the sentence was only just. However hearty might have been the approval of his desire to free the slaves, his methods were open to denunciation.
The first of May, 1861, the first instalment of Salem troops marched for the front. They were enlisted for three months and were under command of Capt. Jeremiah D. Drew. He returned to Salem in August of the same year and raised another company of volunteers, this one numbering one hundred men.
On June 24, 1861, five men from Salem went to Methuen and enlisted in the company being recruited there. They then went to Fort Warren in Boston Harbor, preparatory to going South. These men were Nelson Emerson, Daniel W. Kelly, William Kelly, Charles T. Pattee and Charles Lewis. When the Fourth of July arrived there was no celebration in Salem. All minds were too deeply engrossed with thoughts of fireworks and noise

of a more significant character to have any great relish for breaking the stillness in a spirit of play.
Sept. 21, 1861, it was voted to pay, in accordance with the state law, a sum of money not exceeding twelve dollars per month to families of indigent soldiers.
Aug. 12, 1862, the town voted a bounty of three hundred dol- lars for all enlistments of three years. Sixteen days later it was voted that all who should enlist for a period of nine months should receive a bounty of two hundred dollars. These two votes applied to volunteers. No drafting of recruits was done till later in the year.
About this time the effects of the hard life in the camp and on the field had begun to be evident in the clothes of the soldiers. Shirts, stockings and small articles were greatly needed and not easily furnished at so short notice. One form of relief was put into operation in towns all over the country. It was carried on in Salem by the "Soldiers' Aid Society," which was com- posed of the ladies of the town. They met for the first time, Sept. 12, 1862, in the town hall. Throughout the remainder of the war these meetings were kept up, giving those at home who were so anxious for the "boys" at the front an opportunity to lend a hand toward making things more comfortable for them.
On Nov. 1, 1862, the Drafting Commissioners were at the town hall preparing the lists for the drafting of soldiers in Salem. In September of 1863 the town voted to pay each drafted man or his substitute three hundred dollars. They also voted to raise a sum not exceeding twelve thousand dollars to be paid in bounties. Every volunteer was to receive six hundred dollars. This proved somewhat too steep, and it was voted, Dec. 5, 1863, to give each volunteer three hundred dollars, and to advance the state and national bounty, making a total of seven hundred and two dollars. The quota of men from Salem was at that time twenty-three.
Other records of this time are similar to the foregoing, being for the most part the transaction of routine matters relative to the soldiers.
The eleventh day of April, 1865, was a day of rejoicing throughout the North. The occasion was the surrender of Gen-

eral Lee to General Grant at Appomattox Court House two days before, on April 9th. The communication facilities were not then what they are today, consequently authentic news was not to be had for a day or two after the events which transpired in the southern country. . And by the close of the war people had learned not to rejoice or celebrate a victory until the report of it had been confirmed. On this occasion the village was illumi- nated, bells rung, guns fired, drums beat and fireworks set off. Here certainly was sunshine at last, after four years of gloom.
But how quickly the whole countenance of things is changed. The assassination of Abraham Lincoln plunged the whole coun- try into the deepest grief. All signs of mourning possible were displayed by the people of the land. In Salem on the day of his funeral, April 19, 1865 (the anniversary of the battle of Lexington), services were held in the Congregational church. The pulpit, gallery and lamp fixtures were draped in white and black. Many residences were also draped in mourning emblems. The flags of both the Democrats and Republicans were lowered and trimmed with black. On that day all paid a farewell tribute to the great leader who had passed.
The surrender of Johnston to Sheridan on April 26, 1865, finished the last branch of the Confederate army. The war over, the soldiers were soon at home again, taking up their previous occupations. Many never returned, some have only visited their native towns, having found acceptable fields for their abilities elsewhere. Before we let them go, however, we shall present to the reader the war records of all soldiers who enlisted from Salem.
INDIVIDUAL RECORDS OF SALEM SOLDIERS IN THE WAR OF THE REBELLION, 1861-'65.
These records are taken from the state rolls, in the adjutant- general's office at Concord. Owing to the fact that men from one town were frequently "credited" to another, usually as sub- stitutes, many names appear in this list that had no residential connection with Salem. The names starred (*) were residents of Salem at the time of enlistment; three others, Rufus A. Til- ton and Jonathan Twitchell of the Fifth Regiment, and Horace

Hunt of the Seventh, have become residents since the war. The remainder of the names includes some born in Salem but living elsewhere at the time of enlistment, as well as those merely credited to the town to make up its quota.
In the naval records are names of eleven men credited to Salem. Eight of these were in no way connected with the town and are therefore not given in the following list. Two others were "born in New Salem," which was perhaps meant for this town; their records are at the end of this list. The one resident of Salem whose name appears on the navy rolls is Daniel G. George, whose record may be found under Miscellaneous Organ- izations, Company D, First Massachusetts Cavalry, from which he was transferred to the navy.
