The history of Livingston County, by James H. Smith and published by D. Mason & Co., Syracuse. N. Y., 1881, makes this report of the patriotism of Nunda.
"War record of Nunda. No town was more patriotic, or showed its patriot- ism in a more tangible way. in this war of the Rebellion than Nun la." The call for a company of men resulted as follows: "A meeting was held that same even- ing, and so great was the enthusiasm, and so ready was the response. that twenty- eight men stepped forward and placed their names on the enlistment roll" on the 6th day of May, 1861, less than a month from the receipt of the telegram (only 17 days) this band of brave men was mustered and James M. McNair elected Cap- tain, George L. Hamilton. First Lieutenant. and Henry G. King, Second Lieu- tenant. The Company ( then ) numbered 56 men, and they were assigned to the 33rd Regiment of New York Volunteers as Co. "F." There were three classes of speeches that evening. The one from the veteran. John C. McNair, who was past military age, and. therefore. could not go into the service, but whose patriot- ism was beyond question : that of the lawyers, who spoke as lawyers do, when they would influence a jury-or like Marc Anthony, sought with well chosen words, to move the emotions, and "stir up" the impressionable, and "steal away their hearts" till they would heed the call-"to go where honor calls, and fame and glory awaits them"-now this class of orators. the lawyers' class, was a real necessity of the hour. Unlike the physician and the clergyman, the lawyer has no particular place to fill in the army : the physician could be surgeon, or assistant surgeon, the clergyman could be chaplain, but the lawyer must leave his vocation behind him and simply be a patriot and a man. Indeed lawyers are not generally classed as pacifyers, they are said sometimes to foment strife, but not to ally it : but all joking aside, their best services were rendered at home as recruiting officers and there was little danger of their being moved by their own words, to do what they urged others to do for they were accustomed to their own eloquence. There were exceptions, however. Col. Jas. M. Strang, Capt. Kidder Scott from Geneseo and Col. Samuel J. Crooks, formerly from Nunda. The one lawyer from Nunda. that proved an exception, and said "Come" instead of "Go" was a former gifted citizen. As a recruiting officer he excelled : the "Come and go with me boys," was magical, no wonder he got to be Colonel. Samuel J. Crooks, and when he had the title the emoluments and honors, why did he resign? To raise another regiment
493
of course and he did it, the 22nd Cavalry-eloquence like his was above par, besides there were plenty of better commanders to take the place he left. He was an officer, and an officer can resign,-like Artemas Ward-who was willing to sacrifice all his "wife's male relatives" to put down the war, and who said-"If I am drafted I shall resign ;" so a great many would-be heroes secured, through political influence. commissions and went to the sacred soil of Virginia, and when their resignations were offered, as they were just before or just after their first opportunity to show their colors, the said resignations were generally granted and some good subordinate reached, through valor, promotion.
The one speaker at that first war meeting at Nunda, whose speech lives, and will live as long as the bricks and mortar of Carter Memorial Hall, Nunda, shall hold together-was the one who said "come, friends and fellow students, the nation's life is in peril, and you and I are needed, I am going to enlist, and to enlist now, and I expect some of you will go along with me," and they did. This was the gist of Jonny Carter's speech,-considering his age, only 18. his boyish face illu- mined by the enthusiasm of a genuine patriotism, it was the most effective speech of the evening-no wonder eight or ten of his school friends, including a chum, one year younger. and that some former institute men, nearly as many, enlisted that very week : some were rejected by the surgeon but most of them went at a later day. The Nunda School boys urged Carter's name for Lieutenant, but the older men from neighboring towns, who did not know his metal, voted for older men, and John acquiesced-he went as a private soldier-no one should doubt his patriotism, or crave his position. That he came back in two years, with the shoulder straps he had won by doing his duty nobly. was what his friends expected of him, if he came back at all, and when he was ready to re-enlist there was no one this time to say he was too young, or too inexperienced. to be Captain, although he was still a minor. As for the veteran's son, Jas. M. McNair, fresh from col- lege, no one thought him too young to command the Company, though but 25 years of age, he was just the one to entrust their boys with. He would command in love, and love his command, and they made no mistake. Lieut. Geo. T. Ham- ilton, whose father was one of the pioneers of Nunda, and who had picked up

some military skill, seems to have been a tactician and by some means always ready to enlist with each new company from Nunda, as soon as it was ready to need his assistance and skill. I find his name on the roster of the 33rd. the 104th and the 130th ; as a recruiter, and as a company drill master. he was a pronounced success, he rose to the grade of Captain, and this seems to have satisfied his ambi- tion. Henry A. Hills, First Sergeant. and John F. Winchip. Second Sergeant. from Pike, each obtained after a time a Lieutenancy.
OUR FIRST WAR POEM, BY SARAH L. STILSON
Published in the Nunda News.
To the Nunda Volunteers
I. Sons of the North ! Rise and arm for the fight ! Arm for the land that your hearts fondly cherish. Arm ere the hope of your forefathers perish. Arm, that may wave from its glory wreathed height, The flag of our Union.
2. Sons of the North shall our famed eagle die? On the ancient cliff. shall his mighty wing shiver ? Fall from his talons the arrow filled quiver? No: let his song arise wilder than ever. Till cliff, crag and mountain the echo reply. "The flag of our Union forever."
·3. Sons of the North, go the triumphs to share : . Shall live our fair lands from henceforth but in story? No: though the pathway to victory be gory : No: although blood be the gateway to glory : Though our banner be torn, still the stars shall be there, The flag of our Union.
4. Sons of the North for our liberty stand ! The North and the East and the West are awaking. Stand! for the links in our Union are breaking. Stand! for the pillars of state are now shaking, Stand for the right. for our beautiful land. For the flag of our Union !
5. Sons of the North, act a hero's brave part. Till not one traitor, but frightened is flying, Till not one Rebel, but prostrate is lying. Till "old glory" from Northland to Southland is flying, All the broad North hath one patriot heart Firm for the Union. Nunda. N. Y .. April, 1861.

33RD REGIMENT, N. Y. V. I., COMPANY F-OUR FIRST COMPANY FROM NUNDA
The 33rd regiment included two companies from Livingston Co. and these were from Nunda and Geneseo. the former being Company F and the latter Com- pany E. It also included two companies from Seneca Falls and one each from Palmyra, Waterloo, Canandaigua, Buffalo, Geneva and Penn Yan. The organiza- tion of the regiment was effected May 21st, 1861, at Elmira, with Robert F. Taylor as Colonel. On the 8th of July the regiment left for the front and during its term of service participated in the battles of Yorktown, Malvern Hill, Fair Oaks, Williamsburg, Lee's Mills, Second Bull Run, Antietam and Fredericksburg, and in many minor engagements and desperate skirmishes. The regiment was mus- tered out June 2d, 1863 ; accompanying the order for this purpose was an address from General Sedgwick in which he said:
"The General commanding the corps congratulates the officers and men of the Thirty-third New York Volunteers upon their honorable return to civil life. They have enjoyed the respect and confidence of their companions and commanders ; they have illustrated their term of service by gallant deeds, and have won for themselves a reputation not surpassed in the Army of the Potomac, and have nobly earned the gratitude of the Republic."
The following extracts are from letters written to the editor of the Nunda "News" by Captain McNair, from Banks' Ford, Virginia, early in May, 1863, and give a vivid picture of the strenuous work of this regiment :
"Sunday we were ordered to storm the works in rear of Fredericksburg, where General Sumner lost so heavily in the former battle. This was done effect- ually, under a heavy fire of infantry directed principally against the 77th and 33rd New York, and the loss in both Regiments was large. The 33d lost seventy-four in killed and wounded : many of the wounds, however, were slight.
"Our own Company are again called to mourn the death of one of our noblest and best. . William Cosnett was instantly killed in the moment of victory, cheering on the men to the enemy's works. Sergeant McDuffie was struck with a shell, not seriously wounded. Norton Bardwell, of Grove. was shot through the breast. I fear a fatal wound, although he was in excellent spirits when taken to the hospital, and may recover. Dibble was shot through the arm, but was able to walk, and was sent to the hospital.
"After the heights were captured the corps marched forward some three miles in order to communicate with General Hooker, according to his order, but met a large force under Hill, and a fierce fight ensued. in which General Brooks occupied the front. During the night the Rebels received large reinforcements and attacked us early in the morning with a large force. They marched across the plain in open view. with two lines of battle, seemingly enough to sweep every- thing before them. Our Brigade were holding the front at this point in a good position. The enemy had approached within good range, when a well directed fire broke their. line and the whole force scattered in confusion across the plain. You will hear more fully from this gallant and glorious battle in the General's report. A perfect calm now ensued for several hours-a calm ominous of prepara- tion on the part of the enemy for a final effort. Hooker having been checked, a large force under Jackson came down to attack us. At four o'clock the battle opened again-the fiercest, and for the 33rd, the hardest fought. the most fatal
497
and the most glorious in which we have been engaged. The whole force of the Rebels was thrown upon the left flank held by our brigade. The 20th New York were on the skirmish line, sustained by the 33d New York. For several minutes their entire fire was directed upon the 20th and 33d. We held them in check until the forces in rear were properly in position when we retired under a fire the fiercest I have ever witnessed. The enemy came on. cheering as if assured of cer- tain victory ; but suddenly the Vermont brigade rose from a ravine and poured volley after volley into their lines : then with a cheer and a charge the Rebel hosts were scattered to the winds, and our skirmish line re-established at dark in its former position. The battle in our frant yesterday was a great success. Why we are across the river again this morning giving up all our advantages won by as brave and successful fighting as the war has shown, it is General Hooker's business to explain. If the army has failed in its object, no one will fail to acknowl- edge that General Niel's brigade did their whole duty nobly and successfully. But we have done it with a sacrifice of life which will carry sorrow to many a heart. Under all the circumstances, however, we consider ourselves fortunate still. No one expected that a fraction of the regiment would escape. But what cared we. when the salvation of the army was at stake. And here I affirm solemnly to you. to the honor of your noble sons and brothers, that the final order to retire was never so reluctantly obeyed. There were men who refused to obey, and stoo 1 their ground until wounded or captured by the enemy. With mingled feelings of sorrow and gratitude to the brave boys who have proved their devotion to their country with their blood, I record the casualties of the Company :
"Robert Watson, wounded in two places, not dangerous; Albert Watson. wounded through ankle and left at Hospital : Eugene Beach, wounded in arm, not dangerous : Philander Merithew, missing, but reported wounded ; Charles New- man, slightly wounded: Wm. Piper, wounded, reported seriously; John Skillens. wounded slightly ; Jerry Morrison, wounded severely in face, not dangerous : Michael Clark, missing : David Evans, missing ; Corporal James Haver, missing. but seen after the battle; Warren Franklin, the same; John Franklin, missing ; John Reid, missing : James Norris, missing : Jonathan Greenwood, missing : Wm. Nolan, missing ; Warren Streeter. missing.
"I yesterday wrote you, stating at near as possible the loss of the Company. Since, the result has changed materially by several returning who were reported missing. The report is now as follows:
"On Sunday William Cosnett was instantly killed; Norton Bardwell died Monday night ; Dibble badly wounded in shoulder ; Smith, slight, in ear ; McDuffie. slight, in groin ; making two killed, three wounded ; total. five. On Monday. Albert Watson shot through ankle : William Piper wounded in left side of body. doing well when last heard from: Philander Merithew reported wounded : Jerry Morrison wounded, not badly : Michael Clark missing : Corporal Wilson wounded, not badly ; John Franklin, Eagle, missing : John Reid, Corning, missing ; David Evans, Nunda, missing.
.
"These last four were in the ranks while we were fighting. When we retired they may have been taken prisoners. None of our boys saw them after the com- mand to retire. Corporal James Haver was not wounded. One of our boys was with him when he was some distance from the firing. He was so exhausted that he fainted. Ilis comrade brought him some water, and, as the enemy had retreated. he left him comfortable in the rear, near the Hospital. When we finally fell back
498
we could not find him, but suppose he crossed the river, which is probable. James has in a peculiar way the heart-felt sympathy of his comrades, and our earnest prayer is that he is safe. Sunday morning he was called hastily to the side of a dying brother. Wilbur. He had the satisfaction of being allowed to attend his brave brother in his last moments, and attended to his burial, then returned to avenge his death. I have since found that he was quite sick before and during the battle of Monday, but he uttered no word of complaint, and fought among the bravest. We shall rejoice to hear that he is really safe.
"Thus our loss on Monday was but three badly wounded, two slightly, and five missing. I cannot express my thankfulness for this wonderful escape from what seemed alinost certain death. The Regiment was thrown forward as a for- lorn hope, trusting that by desperate fighting we might hold the enemy in check until the left could be strengthened. During thirty long minutes we stood with seven companies against two regiments advancing upon us. They were held at bay, and half the number shot down, when a regiment to the left of us giving away, the enemy were rapidly flanking us, when we were ordered to fall back on the run. Behind us was a ravine from which the land sloped upwards. As the Regiment passed over this ground it was exposed to a raking fire and here suffered most. Company F fortunately kept the ravine as closely as possible, which ac- counts for our fortunate escape. The regiment suffered a loss of 147 killed. wounded and missing ; Company F. ten in all, with but seven cases, so far as we know. Hooker is falling back and everything looks badly at present. It was a fatal, outrageous blunder of some one in leaving the heights, which we had fought so hard to storm, wholly at the mercy of the enemy. However things may terminate, we can have the pride of knowing that we did all that could be asked of men."
