HISTORY OF CANAAN.


MEXICAN WAR.


In Company H, Capt. Daniel Batchelder, of the Ninth United States Infantry are the names of four Canaan men, who en- listed May 1, 1847, for the war, James Andrews, Benjamin Bean, Sanford Gardner, and Bernard Mccluskey. They sailed from Newport on the North Bend, May 21, 1847, landed on the 21st of June at Vigara, on the 14th of July began their march and were the first regiment to enter the fortress of Chepultepec, on the 12th of September. Asel Burnham was in either Cap- tain Bodfish's or Captain Rowe's company of the Ninth Regi- ment.


WAR OF THE REBELLION.


May, 1861 .*


The most exciting subject now is the war. There are occasionally flag raisings. Union badges and flags are everywhere seen. The old flagstaffs of the political parties serve the common sentiment. The young ladies wear rosettes of red, white and blue, and the boys wear medals decorated with the immortal colors. Every individual act of patriotism is greeted with three loud huzzas. All the old patriotic songs are being learned by the young patriots. There are no more any Repub- licans or Democrats. The Preceptor of our Academy has closed out and opened a recruiting office; he belonged to the inevitable Smith fam- ily, and enlisted for the war. There is a wildness about this enthusiasm that astonishes everybody, and it is very contagious; old and young throw up their hats and hurrah for the union. Clergymen have aban- doned the everlasting negro question, and now preach upon the war. They pray for the confusion of traitors. Even here, where money was supposed to be as scarce as honesty and patriotism at as large a dis- count as veracity, the people will not tolerate traitors. They do not allow men to talk treason now. A few days ago a man who had no sense came into an adjacent village with a load of potatoes and at- tempted to exercise the freedom of opinion by abusing Government. But the men and dogs took after him so finally that he was obliged to leave his potatoes and flee to safety. Similar scenes are occurring every day.


My old mother, whose patriotism increases with her years, often wishes she were a man. She would go and fight the rebels. She has just prepared 300 bandages for the use of the wounded and is going about town inviting other ladies to do likewise. She is talking now of getting up a lot of white linen caps for the soldiers in the hot sun. Every day she is impatient to hear the news, and she prays that President Lincoln may hurry up matters and give the rebels a great

battle, a crushing battle that shall smite them to the earth. Our Postoffice exhibits a scene of excitement every day. Men who never took a paper now take a daily, and they are always present when the mail arrives. And those who are not able to take a daily are there also, and are impatient until some one reads the telegraph reports of the night before. A hundred questions are asked of the probable re- sult of the war, and today there has been great rejoicing because the telegraph reports the President to have said that the war shall not cease till the Flag of the union waves over every fort, arsenal, custom house, and other public building within the national domain. Every one con- curs in such sentiments. It is wonderful what universal burst of en- thusiasm has escaped from northern hearts. There seems to be but one breast and its great throb reaches East, west, north and south, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from the Canadas downward. It is thrill- ing to see a nation rushing to the service of its government, in such compact, glittering, intelligent, relentless masses. The world never be- fore saw so sublime a spectacle, because the world never before saw so great a treason, so great a necessity for prompt, impulsive action. I would be glad to go, but my weak back would falter by the wayside under the weight of arms and blankets. In after years, when the events of this great treason are rehearsed by the winter firesides, these soldiers will enjoy a glorious and enviable pride in saying, "I was there - I helped put out the fires of treason." And what epitaphs the heroic acts of those soldiers are to furnish for the eye of future generations! Whole lives of uselessness are now to be illustrated by one act of pat- riotic devotion, that shall fill fame's trumpet so full, as it sends its swelling candenzas with prolonged reverbrations down to the remotest posterity. These are the times of great thieves and greater heroes, and each will win immortality in their degree.


Sixteen men volunteered in 1861, Charles Robie, Joseph Syl- vester, Elijah W. Johnson, Job B. Jenness, Andrew J. Darush, Placid Adams, Thomas McNabb, William Tolbert, George B. County, Stephen Shephard, Frank T. Dustin, Peter Pieron, Henry Hoffman, James Kimball, Anthony Welch and William E. Allard.


On August 9, 1862, the town were requested to meet to see what should be done in regard to furnishing the town's quota of soldiers. They voted to pay each volunteer a bounty of $100. Whereupon David Barnard offered to give the first man who should volunteer $5. Twenty men came forward and gave in their names as volunteers for three years, and the individuals named opposite gave each man $5:

Caleb Jones attended this town meeting fired with patriotism, and when the call was made for volunteers, he gave a pledge that if his boy Tom would not go he would, for he was bound to have the family represented, and he put down his name as proxy for Tom who took his place in the ranks and came home to die from the effects of exposure in camp life.


William W. George proposed to give each volunteer a dinner at Sanborn's Hotel the day they left for camp. Fourteen of these men received the bounty of $100. Orson Makepeace, Charles T. Langley and William R. Call never enlisted. John N. Ford and Sidney L. Colby went afterwards. Thomas S. Marshall went but did not receive the bounty. Oliver B. Childs, William Digby, Aaron Sargent, Allen H. George and Ephraim Adams received the bounty besides the above fourteen, enlisting about the same time. The town voted to give volunteers for nine months' service $100 and $50 more if called out of the state. The selectmen with L. C. Pattee, William L. Harris, William P. Weeks and William W. George were appointed a committee to get recruits to make up the town's quota, and they were to receive one dollar for each recruit, but if the recruit went to the select- men he was to receive the dollar. Every man who brought a
