that five companies of the 2d Infantry moved into them from Navy Point, though as yet some of the floors and porticoes were unfinished. Near the top of the side of the officers' quarters, facing the sally-port, on each side are tablets of stone, inscribed on the eastern side with 'Commenced August I, 1816; completed October, 1819'; on the western side, 'Erected by the 2d Infantry.'

" The 2d U. S. Infantry,* whose history for 23 years after the close of the war with Great Britain is inseparable from that of Madison Barracks, was re- organized and filled up in 1815 at this place from volunteers, citizens, quar- termaster's employees, etc., that were mustered out of service at the cessation of hostilities. The addition of these new elements to the regiment required the utmost rigor of discipline on the part of the officers to prevent outbreaks of intemperance, violence, and the dissolute habits that had been learned in the camps hereabout during the war. The moral tone of all classes along the northern frontier appears to have been much shaken by the war about this time, and among the officers difficulties often arose from slight causes, and quite a number of duels are reported as having been fought among them at this place, during the war and soon afterwards. The first one that comes within the scope of this narrative was fought between Dr. Burr, U. S. A., and a Lieutenant Smith, 2d Infantry. Both parties were slightly wounded, and Smith was afterwards hung in Philadelphia for killing Carson, captain of an East Indian vessel. While the malign effects of the war upon the habits and morals of both soldiers and citizens were seen in the prevalence of intem- perance and other irregularities, a counter influence soon sprung into action among the officers of the 2d Infantry, for about this period they took the first steps toward reestablishing religious services and for restoring public order, then so much needed in this community. This regiment afterwards, in the western country, was familiarly known as the 'praying regiment.'

" The first commanding officer of Madison Barracks was Colonel Hugh Brady, 2d U. S. Infantry, who, as mentioned above, moved into this place, with five companies of his regiment, in the fall of 1816. From this date to 1833 no records concerning the place can be found. There is a report, how- ever, that from 1816 to 1821 an artillery company, of which Capt. Hilerman and Lieut. Leggett were officers, occupied Fort Pike.

" From 1816 to April, 1828, the garrison was occupied uninterruptedly by the Second Infantry, and the commanding officers were, as far as can be learned, as follows :---

" Lieut .- Col. William Lawrence, from January to December, 1824.

Col. Hugh Brady, December, 1824, to February, 1826.

Capt. F. Staniford, February to March, 1826.

Col. Hugh Brady, March to May, 1826.

Brevet Capt. James Young, May to June, 1826.

Capt. J. D. Wilkins, June to August, 1826.

Brevet Major N. S. Clark, August, 1826, to April, 1828.

Organized by Col. Hugh Brady, who was subsequently transferred to the post at Sault de Ste. Marie, and died in Detroit about 1851.

" On the departure of the troops under Major Clark the belief was enter- tained that there was but a remote chance that the barracks would be needed again as a military post, whereupon Capt. Alden Partridge, a teacher of some note in a military school at Middletown, Connecticut, obtained the consent of Hon. Peter B. Porter, then Secretary of War, for the use of the place for a term of years as a military and scientific school, which was approved by the President and afterwards confirmed by a joint resolution of Congress, May 24, 1828; but nothing further was done towards carrying out the project beyond announcing the object to the citizens in the vicinity.

" November 21, 1828, the barracks were again occupied by two companies of the Second Infantry, under Capt. William Hoffman, who remained till April 1, 1829, when he was succeeded by

" Col. Hugh Brady, 2d Infty., April 1 to May 12, 1829.

Lieut .- Col. A. Cummings, 2d Infty., May 12, 1829, to May 29, 1831.

Capt. O. Ransom, 2d Infty., May 29, 1831, to August 16, 1831.

Capt. William Hoffman, 2d Infty., August 16 to September 17, 1831.

Lieut .- Col. A. Cummings, 2d Infty., September 17, 1831, to May 20, 1832.

" The troops in the barracks being required to take part in the Black Hawk war, the place was again left unoccupied, and under the charge of Ordnance-Sergeant Gaines till May 19, 1834.

" On May 9, 1834, Lieut .- Col. A. Cummings, with his adjutant, Gallagher, returned and established the headquarters of the Second Infantry at the bar- racks, where it remained undisturbed till June, 1837, when the troubles on the northern frontier, familiarly known at the Patriot War, caused the with- drawal of the troops, and the place again was left in charge of Ordnance-Ser- geant Gaines till June, 1838, when it was reoccupied by a detachment of the Second Infantry, under the command of Lieut .- Col. A. Cummings. August 28, 1838, Col. W. J. Worth, Eighth U. S. Infantry, assumed command of the barracks, and commenced the organization of the Eighth Infantry, authorized by act of Congress, July 5, 1838, and the detachment under Lieut .- Col. A. Cummings took its departure for the West. This closed the service of the Second Infantry at this place."

During the occupancy of this post by Colonel Brady the remains of most of the officers who had fallen in the field, or died of sickness on the frontier, were collected and buried together, within the pickets of Madison Barracks. Over these sacred and honored ashes a temporary wooden monument of pine boards was erected, from the defaced and broken panels of which Historian Hough deciphered and preserved the following inscriptions :-

North Side .- " Brigadier-General L. Covington, killed, Chrysler's Field, U. C., November 11, 1813." " Lieutenant-Colonel E. Backus, Dragoons, killed at Sackets Harbor, 29 May, 1813."

East Side .- "Colonel Tuttle," "Lieutenant-Colonel Dix," "Major Johnson," "Lieutenant Vandeventer."

South Side .- "Lieutenant-Colonel Mills, Volunteer, killed at Sackets Harbor, 29 May, 1813." "Captain A. Spencer, 29th Infantry, aid-de-camp to Major-General Brown, killed at Lundy's Lane, July 25, 1814."

West Side .- " Brigadier-General Z. M. Pike, killed at York, U. C., 27 April, 1813." "Cap- tain Joseph Nicholson, 14th Infantry, aid-de-camp to General Pike, killed at York, U. C., 27 April, 1813."

In 1839 Colonel Mills's remains were removed to Albany, being escorted to the steamer for Oswego by the 8th Regiment, Colonel Worth in command.

During the Patriot war the steamer Telegraph was fitted out at the bar- racks and manned with one company of the 8th Infantry, and was kept cruising about the Thousand Islands, in concert with a force of British, in search of Bill Johnston, who led the party which burned the Sir Robert Peel at Wells Island, on the night of May 29, 1838. In the fall the steamer Oneida joined the Telegraph with another company of the 8th Infantry ·on board, all under Colonel Worth, who laid off Wind-Mill Point, during the battle at that place, November 13, 1838. The same day Colonel Worth captured several boats, loaded with supplies for the patriots, which were taken to Sackets Harbor and, with their cargoes, sold by the United States marshal.

" About the time Col. Worth took command of the barracks there was some prospect of trouble with Great Britain, and in consequence of authority invested in him he added the buildings necessary to complete the garrison, and put all the others in good repair. The building put up at this time were the commissary and quartermaster's store-house, and the hospital, guard- house, and ordnance buildings. The total outlay was about $150,000." *

" The organization of the 8th Infantry was completed in 1840, and nine companies and the band occupied the barracks. Owing to excessive crowding much sickness resulted, and in the fall of 1839 there were reported by Dr. Thomas Henderson, U. S. A., 90 cases of death by remittent fever. Col. Worth was followed in command of the barracks by the following named ·officers of his (8th) regiment :-

"Capt. G. Wright, August 28, 1836, to April 14, 1839.

Captain F. Staniford, April 14 to June 26, 1839.

Lieut .- Colonel N. S. Clark, June 26 to October, 1839. Col. W. J. Worth, October to December, 1839.

Lieut .- Colonel N. S. Clark, December, 1839, to January 20, 1840.

Captain G. Wright, January 20 to February 2, 1840.

Lieut .- Colonel N. S. Clark, February 2 to April 22. 1840.

Colonel W. J. Worth, April 22 to May 2, 1840.

Lieut. J. K. Smith, May 2 to September 22, 1840.

" The 8th Infantry soon after this last date was ordered to Florida, and Lieut. Smith was relieved by Major M. M. Payne, of the 2d Artillery, with two companies of his regiment. He remained in command at the barracks from September 22 to October 4, and was succeeded by

"Leiut .- Colonel J. B. Crane, 2d Artillery, October 4 to November 12, 1840.

Major M. M. Payne, 2d Artillery, November 12, 1840, to August 13, 1841. Major F. S. Belton, 4th Artillery, August 13, 1841, to June 24, 1842.

" The artillery was relieved by Major J. Plymton, 2d Infantry, with three companies of his regiment. Major Plymton assumed command June 24, 1842, and was relieved December 4, 1844, by Captain J. J. B. Kingsbury, of the same regiment. Major Plymton again took command January 30, 1845,

and stayed till August 13, 1846, when the troops were sent to the Mexican border, and the barracks left in charge of Ordnance-Sergeant Gaines from that time until November 13, 1848. November 13, 1848, the barracks were occupied by Major T. Lee, of the 4th Infantry, with two companies of his in- fantry. He was followed September 7, 1849, by Lieut .- Col. B. L. E. Boonville, of the same regiment. After him the post commander was the colonel of this regiment, Col. William Whistler, in charge from June 27, 1851, to June 18, 1852, at which latter date the post was left in charge of Ordnance-Sergeant Gaines, and was so occupied for nearly nine years, or until the breaking out of the Rebellion in 1861. The buildings and fences became badly dilapi- dated, and certain parties living in the neighborhood plundered more or less of value from the premises. While the 94th Regt. Vol. Inf. was quartered here, with Col. W. B. Camp in command of the barracks by virtue of his rank on the governor's staff, First Lieut. George Ryan, 7th U. S. Infantry, with Co. B, of his regiment, paroled prisoners from the Indian country, joined the barracks December 22, 1861. Lieut. Ryan, on his arrival with his small company of paroled, dispirited men, found themselves quite swallowed up by the new regiment of young, eager, undisciplined, raw recruits under Colo- nel Camp, whose position as a nominal officer on the governor's staff in- vited controversy and trouble, and it was not long before it came, in the shape of a dispute for the command of the post. Lieut. Ryan put the question to the test by arresting Colonel Camp's guard, and by , substituting his own instead. The difficulty was settled by the War Department confining Lieut. Ryan's authority to the limits of the quartermaster's and commissary's storehouse till the 94th left.

"The 94th and Lieut. Ryan's Co. (B) of the 7th were crowded into the men's quarters, and as there were nearly a thousand of them, and the ventilation was either bad or totally wanting, these causes, combined with a wrong mode of living, produced many cases of fever among the men, attended with con- siderable mortality. Lieut. Ryan was relieved April 29, 1862, by Capt. R. M. Stevenson, of the 7th Infantry, also a paroled prisoner from the Indian country. Stevenson died while in command, October 8, 1862. In 1864, after the 186th N. Y. Vols. (which was organized at Sackets Harbor for the period of one year) had left, the barracks had become sadly out of repair by general misuse, and Capt. Elisha Camp, A. Q. M., U. S. A., was ordered on from Washington, with a force of skilled carpenters, to put it in a good state of repair. He expended some $13,000, and placed everything once more in good shape.

" From November 8, 1864, to February, 1865, Ist Lieut. Walter Clifford occupied the barracks with a detachment of the 16th U. S. Inf. From March 5, 1865, to May 10, 1865, Capt. Pliny Moore, with one company of frontier cavalry, occupied the place with the above detachment of the 16th Infantry, and Capt. H. F. Turner, with the same command, held the place from May 10 to June 25, 1865. This frontier cavalry was employed in

protecting the northern frontier from such raiding parties as that which plun - dered St. Albans, Vt., in 1864, and for watching the suspicious sympathizers of the rebels going to and from Canada. The company of this organization stationed at this place guarded the line from Cape Vincent to Henderson Bay.

"From June 20, 1865, to March 29, 1866, Col. C. C. Sibley, of the 16th Infantry, commanded the barracks, then occupied by portions of the Ist and 2d batallions of his regiment and one company of the 4th Infantry. Lieut .- Col. A. J. Slemmer, of the latter regiment, and during the war in command of Fort Pickens, on Santa Rosa Island, near Pensacola, Florida, had charge of the post from March 29 to September 29, 1866, being relieved at the latter date by Capt. William H. Powell, also of the 4th Infantry, who remained in command till March 25, 1867. From June 20, 1865, to April 30, 1867, the headquarters of the 16th Infantry was established here. March 25, 1867, the detachments of the 4th and 16th Infantry were relieved by 2d Lieut. A. C. Bayne, 42d U. S. Infantry (Veteran Reserve Corps). Brevet Major Tully McCrea, captain of Co. C of this regiment, commanded the post from April 15 to April 29, 1867, and was succeeded by Brevet Major-General J. B. McIntosh, who transferred the headquarters of the regiment from Plattsburgh Barracks to this place, where it remained till April 13, 1869, when the regi- ment took its departure for Fort Gibson, C. T., to be consolidated with the 6th U. S. Infantry. While General McIntosh was in command about $25,000 worth of repairs and painting was put upon the barracks.

" The following of the 42d Regt., V. R. C., had command of the bar- racks, succeeding General McIntosh :---

" Maj. T. F. Robenbough, from December 12, 1867, to May 26, 1868.

Bvt. Major C. T. Greene, from May 26 to June 3, 1868.

Maj. T. F. Robenbough, from June 7 to Angust 20, 1868.

Bvt. Major C. T. Greene, from August 30 to October 5, 1868.

Maj. T. F. Robenbough, from October 5, 1868, to February 16, 1869.

Bvt. Major C. T. Greene, from February 16 to March 5, 1869.

Bvt. Brig .- Gen. T. F. Robenbough, from Mareh 5 to April 13, 1869.

" On the latter date ist Lieut. A. Miltemore, Ist U. S. Artillery, with a small detachment of Battery F, arrived at the post, and on the 14th Bvt. Lieut .- Col. R. C. Duryea arrived with the remainder of the battery, and assumed command, which he held until May 26, 1870, when the troops were removed to Ogdensburg. The next person to command was Major C. L. Best, of the Ist Artillery. The troops in garrison during October, 1870, were those of Battery F, Ist Artillery, and Co. B, Ist U. S. Infantry.

" November 1, 1872, Major Best left with Battery F, and turned over the command to Ist Lieut. John L. Worden, Jr., of Co. B, Ist Infantry. Decem- ber 7 Battery D, 3d Artillery, arrived, and its captain, John G. Trumbull, assumed command of the post by virtue of his rank."

Lieut .- Col., Bvt. Brig .- Gen. R. B. Ayres, of the 3d Artillery, assumed command December 10, 1872. He is often mentioned for gallant services in the Army of the Potomac. November 6, 1876, eight sets of

officers' quarters were destroyed by fire, leaving only the colonel's quarters to the eart of sally-port. Lieut. Abbott remained when Ayres left, in 1876, to be relieved by Bvt. Brig .- Gen. James Robertson, 3d Artillery, who retired from the service in 1879. Bvt. Maj. James R. Kelly was now in command, and during his administration the officers' quarters were rebuilt in 1879-80. Hon. George Bagley, M. C., was instrumental in procuring an appropriation of $25,000 for that purpose, assisted by friends of the project. Maj. and Bvt. Brig .- Gen. W. M. Graham relieved Maj. Kelly, occupying the post till September 12, 1882, when Bvt. Maj .- Gen. Orlando B. Willcox arrived with six companies of the 12th U. S. Inf., making it headquarters. Previous to their arrival Surgeon Edwards, 1872-74, and Surgeon H. S. Turrill, U. S. A., 1879-83, had insisted upon an entire change in respect to sanitary regulations. The latter, in 1879, found 20 per cent. of organic matter in the earth surrounding the quarters; after partial sewerage only three per cent. in three months. Diphtheria and scarlet fever prevailed in the neighboring village and villages, without a case entering the reservation. Gen. Willcox, with his efficient officers, continued the improvement by adding Holly's sys- tem of water-works to more sewerage, and heating the barracks with furnaces. Gen. Sherman had, since 1872, been opposed to making any improvements, looking to abandonment of the post entirely. Influences had been brought to bear so as to change his opposition. When the 12th arrived he visited the post and became convinced as to the desirability of the location strate- gically, and for a post of rest for troops long upon the plains or in climes where discomforts wear both mind and body. Sheridan ordered the sol- diers' quarters raised a story, and on the arrival of the 11th Inf., Col. Rich- ard Irvin Dodge, rapid and substantial improvements went on. An adminis- tration building, 104x42, had its foundation laid in November, to be enclosed the following month, mid severe and tempestuous weather. All the executive offices, with library, school-room, and printing office, are below. Above, Dodge hall extends the whole length. Two stone buildings, a quarter- master's and commissary's storehouses have been built. Steam heating has been introduced throughout the entire barracks with complete success. Broad piazzas, facing the soldiers' quarters, replace the old ones. The hospital has gone through changes to make it a complete one, as present requirements demand; also a house for the hospital steward as annex. The most con- spicuous and marked change has been the erection of officers' quarters to the west of sally-port, in place of the old set erected so indifferently in 1816-19. Coal and ice houses, with capacity sufficient for all needs, walks and enclosures, and new driveways-all objectionable out-houses removed. The cemetery, so long neglected, remained a reproach until Gen. Willcox gave his Christian care to renovating the ground of briars, disclosing some historic names that were called to his attention by an interested citizen. Col. Dodge has made it the most attractive spot in the reservation-an iron fence, formerly around Lafayette Park, Washington, was secured by him, and now

encloses the grounds. Monuments have been restored, and the reflection of Historian Hough, " that some day a suitable monument ought to be erected over the resting place of such illustrious heroes as Gen. Pike, Dix, Backus, Mills, and others," has been accomplished. A sarcophagus of granite has been erected to the memory of the ten officers whose names were copied by Mr. Hough in time to save the fading record, and " to the unknown dead " to the number of 1,700 who perished and were buried in the locality. Im- posing ceremonies on Decoration day, the 30th of May, 1888, were insti- tuted by Col. Dodge. By invitation the G. A. R. organizations of this and neighboring posts dedicated the monument after the forms of their order, with the whole U. S. command and 2,000 citizens to assist. Col. W. B. Camp gave the address.

Col. Dodge has expended $61,000, with promise of more extended outlay, hoping to make a full regimental post of unexceptional importance. Fol- lowing is a roster of the 11th Regiment :-

The senior officers of the regiment are all veterans, some having passed through the entire campaign that was opened by the memorable shot at Sumter, and finished when the last conflict established the fact that they who had sown to the wind reaped the whirlwind in painful defeat and disaster. Col. R. I. Dodge made his acquaintance with the circumstances of war at Bull Run. His executive abilities were early recognized by our government, and made available by appointments to such important commands as provost marshal-general of Maryland, Pennsylvania, and New York city. As an author Col. Dodge has the distinguished reputation of having produced the most complete and popular works on life and habits of the Indians, and the country they inhabit. His last work has already reached 65,000 copies from the press. Lieut .- Col. Bush, Major Page, and the ten captains are all veterans. Their individual histories cannot be given here. Some would

mark a page of heroic deeds, of intense interest, and excite our admiration and gratitude.

Naval Station .- After the close of the War of 1812 a naval station was permanently established at Sackets Harbor, and Lieut. Thomas Brownell, who had sailed under Commodore Perry, was appointed to its command .. Following Lieutenant Brownell in command came Capt. Charles T. Platt, Capt. George Sawyer, Capt. James McIntosh, Capt. Josiah Tatnall, after- wards a commodore in the Confederate navy during the Rebellion, and Capt. George N. Hollins, also a rebel commodore afterwards. Previous to 1860. Capt. Tatnall had been to China, and on returning, having been promoted to commodore, relieved Captain Hollins. Captain Hollins went from Sackets Harbor to the Mediterranean, in command of the U. S. frigate Susquehanna, and on the breaking out of the Rebellion resigned his command and joined the southern navy. After Tatnall was here the second time the command was given to Commodore E. A. F. Lavelette, who stayed until 1862, in the fall of which year he was relieved by Commodore Theodorus Bailey, afterwards retired at the rank of rear-admiral. He stayed until some time in 1863, and was succeeded by Henry Metcalf, of Sackets Harbor, who, in connection with his duties as ship-keeper, had charge of the station until July, 1866. Commodore J. B. Montgomery was stationed in charge succeed- ing Metcalf, and stayed three years, being succeeded by Rear Admiral J. B. Montgomery. Commodore Francis B. Ellison was next here, and stayed two years, or until 1871, and was relieved by Commodore J. P. Mckinstry. The latter stayed but about three weeks, and was in turn relieved by Capt .. Alexander C. Rhind, who was here only two weeks, after which the station was placed in charge of Ship-Keeper Albert H. Metcalf.

During the war the ship building department was directed by Henry Eckford, who accumulated a fortune, which he afterwards lost in unfortunate speculation, and gained a world-wide fame by the rapidity with which he con- structed large vessels. The Mohawk, a frigate of 44 guns, launched at Sackets Harbor, occupied him but 34 days in building. The line-of-battle- ship New Orleans, built in 1815, as a countermatch to the St. Lawrence, a three-deck man-of war set afloat by the British, was carried to the point of completion in even less time. The New Orleans had a keel of 187 feet, breadth of beam 56 feet, and 30 feet depth of hold, with a measurement of 3,200 tons. She was pierced for 110 guns, but could have carried 120. The vessel was never launched, owing to the peace measures adopted by the two countries ; and to preserve her the government erected a house over her at considerable expense. For many years the New Orleans was the greatest object of interest to tourists on the American shore of Lake Ontario. She was bought by Alfred Wilkinson, of Syracuse, for $400, and torn down and carried away. While tearing it down on February 9, 1884, the old ship fell, killing two men and severely injuring several others.
