THOMAS WATERS, GABRIEL N. PHILLIPS, DAVID R. ARNELL, HENRY G. WISNER, JAMES W. CARPENTER, Committee.
The proceedings were conducted in accordance with the above arrangement. It was estimated that 15,000
people were present. The procession was very large, and was conducted with becoming solemnity.
The corner-stone was laid by Gen. Hathorn, who commanded the forces of the Spartan band at the battle. The veteran, about eighty years of age, was deeply touched as the scenes of the slaughter forty- three years before swept through his mind and kin- dled the fearful memories of the past.
At no previous time in the history of Goshen were so many people collected together. The military of the county, and especially the corps of cadets from West Point, under their gallant commander, Maj. Worth, who had kindly consented to be present and direct the movements of the military, looked remark- ably well; they performed their evolutions with the accuracy of trained soldiers. The procession formed on the occasion moved with the solemn dignity in- spired by the patriot event they came to celebrate. The address of the Rev. James R. Wilson was touch- ing, forcible, and eloquent, and his manner, as he spoke of the dried bones of our ancestors slain in In- dian battle, was admirably calculated to light up anew the fires of the Revolution in the breast of the aged land to imitate their deeds of valor in the just defense of their country.
Dr. Wilson's address consisted largely of a de- tailed description of the battle. In this respect it can no longer be considered as authority upon that subject. The more careful study given to the Mini- sink affair in recent years and the clearer light thus thrown upon it dispel very many traditions concern- ing it. He closed as follows :
"Yun will permit me to a bilress the noble sentiments of your souls, and invite you to emulate the example of these heroes in deeds of noble daring should your country ever call. The young and those now around me under arms may see our country involved in dangers that will require even the sacrifice of life for her safety."
The monument of 1822 was not the present fine shaft which adorns the public grounds at Goshen ; that was erected at a subsequent date, as shown below. The monument of 1822 was a much plainer affair. It had one central shaft, however, on which were in- scribed the names of the dead. On the erection of the new monument the former block became the pri- vate property of John Edward Howell, of Goshen, and was donated by him to the committee of the Sul- livan County celebration in 1879, to be erected upon the battle-ground in that county.
Among those who were in the battle but escaped with their lives were Col. John Hathorn, of War- wick; Adjt. Robert Armstrong, of Florida; Maj. John Poppino, of Summerville; Maj. John Wood, of Goshen ; Sergt. Caleb Goldsmith, of Goshen ; Maj. Meeker and Evi DeWitt, of New Jersey ; Capt. Abraham Cuddeback, of Deerpark ; Daniel Myers, of Minisink, who is said to have killed more Indians than any other man during the engagement ; and Jona- than Bailey, of Wawayanda. It is probably not pos-

sible to prepare a complete list of those who went to repulse Brant. Traditions differ greatly upon that point, ranging from 80 to 130. With 45 killed, the former estimate leaves 35 to account for.
It has been something of a question whether the company who were engaged with the Indians at the battle of Minisink was an organized force and called out by formal orders, or whether it was entirely a volunteer force without regular organization, except as they yielded obedience to recognized officers in the regular militia. It would appear that in part, at least, it was called out by a regular order. Mr. Victor M. Drake, a few years since, unearthed the following order :
"To CALEB GOLDSMITH, Sergt. :
" You are hereby requested to warn your class and march to Minisink, hereof fail not, as you will answer the county.
"Given under my hand this 17th* day of July, 1779. " SAMUEL JONES, Captain."
The names of this class were indorsed as follows : Stephen Smith, Benjamin Dunning, Charles Weeks.
THE CELEBRATION OF JULY 22. 1862.
This occurred at the unveiling of the new monu- ment erected in honor of the heroes of Minisink by the generous donation of Dr. Merritt II. Cash, of Wawayanda. Dr. Cash had always taken a patriotic interest in the Revolutionary events occurring in this section of country, and particularly in those of Mini- sink and Wyoming. He had a direct family connec- tion with the latter, his grandfather having been in the fight at Wilkesbarre, and the man who broke through the Indian lines and went for help. Daniel Cash afterwards settled in Orange County, as did the Fullertons and others from the Wyoming Valley. Dr. Cash had studied the story of Minisink well, and desiring that a fitting monument should be erected in memory of that battle, he left by his will 84000 for that purpose. IIe died at the age of fifty-eight, April 26, 1861. The money thus donated was all expended upon the monument, the erection of the iron fence and other expenses being born by the citizens.

PROGRAMME OF CELEBRATION, JULY 22, 1862.
1. Prayer by Rev. George Potts, D.D., of New York.
2. Music by the bands.
3. Reception of the Society of the Sons of Orange and Sullivan, with au address from David F. Gedney, responded to by a member of the society.
4. Music.
3. Oration by John C. Dimmick, Esq.
6. Music.
7. Address by a member of the Society of the Sons of Orange and Sul- livan.
8. Music.
This programme was carried out in full. All the proceedings were in excellent keeping with the occa- sion. It was impossible to restrain the speakers or the audience to the scenes of Minisink a hundred years before.
The then critical condition of the country, and the high demands of the hour, evoked a rising tide of emotion that commingled with and ennobled every thought of the past. The Rev. Dr. Potts prayed " the Divine Ruler to protect those brave men who are defending the cause of the Union upon the battle- field, and to strike from the temple of liberty the sac- rilegious hand of the traitor."
Mr. David F. Gedney said, " No human being could lift the veil which now enveloped our native land. He trusted she would emerge from her darkness ra- diant with starry brightness."
Mr. A. S. VanDuzer said, " We have come here to meet the loved of other days, to rekindle within onr hearts the fires of patriotism, and to offer prayer for the brave departed. . Alas! what a chalice of woe and desolation has been presented to the lips of the American people. I seem to hear the voices of those whose bones lie under that icy marble, calling to us to march forward with cold steel and belching cannon
* This may be an error for 19th, but there is great confusion in the dates, at best, concerning the battle.

until this acenrsed rebellion is subdued. My thoughts inevitably run forward into coming years. It is now our blessed privilege to teach rebellion a never-ending lesson. Future generations will erect monuments to the memory of the noble army of martyrs who have fallen in its path."
Mr. John C. Dimmick, the orator of the day, also closed his eloquent address with an impassioned ap- peal to the young men of the assemblage to rush to the conflict.
CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION, JULY 22, 1879.
The Minisink battle can never be forgotten by the citizens of Goshen. It has formed the theme of fire- side stories for a hundred years. It is embalmed in the traditions of families whose ancestors died upon those rocky heights, or shared in the struggle, only escaping with their lives.
Had it been attended with but little loss of life, the battle of Minisink would probably have never taken an important place in either State or local annals. It was the bloody nature of the tragedy which drew such forcible attention to it in the earlier years. The fact that so many lost their lives in the fight, that at its close there were thirty-three widows in the single church of Goshen, made an impression that can never die ont from this community.
The simple. horror of the massacre, too, obseured other considerations, and prevented, perhaps, a full understanding of the relative importance of the battle in the national contest.
The names of Saratoga, of Trenton, of Yorktown, justly have greater prominence in the records of Revo- lutionary valor, but on none of those fields was there more heroic and desperate fighting than on the rocky plateau where the men of Goshen met the shock of battle, and died that their homes might be saved from invasion. Brant had carried that bloody height, but it was at a fearful sacrifice of his own men, and he dared not make a further movement east- ward. The militia of Goshen had died, but their valor had not been in vain. The national cause passed safely through a dangerous crisis; a few months later the large and well-appointed army under Gen. Sullivan carried death and destruction to the Indian regions of central and western New York. The tide of battle changed. The dark days of 1779 passed forever away. No Indian force ever again sought to invade the homes of a people whose heroic fighting had reddened the rocky heights with their own and their enemy's blood.
As the eentennial anniversary of the battle ap- proached in 1879 it attracted much attention, and two celebrations of the event took place, one at Goshen, from whose vicinity most of the troops had gone to the battle a hundred years before, the other on the battle-ground itself in Sullivan County. There was an appropriateness in both these celebrations, so that in no especial manner were they rivals of each other.
At Goshen the committee of arrangements con- sisted of A. J. Moore, B. F. Bailey, L. Cuddeback, Alfred Neafie, C. G. Elliot, J. H. Goodale, C. E. Mellspaugh, J. M. Allerton, Joel Wilson, H. A. Wadsworth, Vietor M. Drake, J. W. Corwin, George W. Greene, George W. Seward, Chauncey Thomas.
The programme was as follows :
1. Prayer by Rev. W. D. Snodgrass, D.D.
2. Address of welcome on behalf of the citizens and trustees by Har- rison W. Ilanny, president of the village of Goshen, and introducing the orator of the day.
3. Address by Ilon. James W. Taylor, of Newburgh, president of the day.
4. Music by the Goshen Cornet Band.
5. Oration by Rev. J. Halstead Carroll, of Newburgh.
6. Music.
7. Address by Hon. C. H. Winfield, of New York City.
8. Address by Gen. James A. Briggs, of Brooklyn.
9. Music.
10. Benediction.
The celebration was in every respect a success. There was a large gathering of citizens. The proces- sion, the addresses, the music, were in every respect worthy of the occasion.
REVOLUTIONARY RECORDS.
We add the following papers, which show some- thing of the valuable material that once existed in the office of the town clerk of Goshen :
" At an annual town-meeting of the freeholders and inhabitants of the precinct of Goshen, in the county aforesaid, on Tuesday, the 4th of April, 1775, the following question, whether any deputies should be sent from this precinct to meet deputies from the other connties of New York the 20th instant, to join with them in choosing proper persons as delegates on the part of this province, to meet in general Congress at Philadel- phia on the 10th of May next, was put, and carried nnanimously in the affirmative.
" A motion was then made by several persons that Henry Wisper and Peter Clowes, Esquires, be appointed depnties for the above purpose, and the question being accordingly put, it was carried in the affirmative withont one dissenting voice.
" And at an annual town-meeting held the day aforesaid at Cornwall precinct, in the county aforesaid, a motion was made that Mr. Israel Seeley, of said precinct, be appointed one of the deputies for the aforesaid county, to meet deputies from the other counties at New York on the 20th instant, to join in choosing some proper persons to be sent as dele- gates to represent this province in general Congress at Philadelphia the 10th of next month, and the question being accordingly put, it was car- ried by a great majority in the affirmative."
" At a meeting of the freeholders and inhabitants of the precinct of Goshen, in the county of Orange, and colony of New York, assembled at the house of Mr. Isaac Nicoll, inn-holder, in the town of Goshen, on Wednesday, the 10th day of May, 1777, Peter Clowes chairman.
" Resolved, unanimously, That as the present critical situation of affairs makes it necessary for a Provincial Congress to be held, that Michael Jackson, Peter Clowes, Benjamin Tosten, and William Allison, or any two of them, do attend therein at the city of New York on the 22d day of this instant, May, as delegates for this precinct.
" By order of the meeting,
" BALTH. DE HEART. Clerk."
MEXICAN WAR.
A company was enlisted in Goshen and vicinity during the winter of 1846-47 for service in the Mex- ican war. It became Company K, Tenth United States Infantry. Capt. Alexander Wilkin, son of Samuel J. Wilkin, was the leading man in the enter- I.prise, and it was largely dne to his energy that the
.

company was raised. He was assisted by Francis M. Cummins, who was appointed first lieutenant.
The company was attached to the army of the Rio Grande under Gen. Taylor. Lieut. Cummins was promoted, April 17, 1848, to the captainey, in place of Mr. Wilkin, who had resigned. His commission bears the signatures of James K. Polk, President of the United States, and William L. Marcy, Secretary of War.
We give the roll of the company as it is now pre- served by Mr. Cummins, though it probably lacks one or more names. They are as follows :
Alexander Wilkin, captain ; Francis M. Cummins, first lientenant ; l'eter HI. Brewer (New Jersey), second lientenant; N. Millett (New York City), first sergeant; Wm. Fisher (Goshen), second sergeant; S. Ilolly (Goshen), third sergeant ; Riley Lane (Shandaken, Ulster Co.), fourth sergeant; Aaron Clearwater (Goshen), first corporal; Orris Judd, second corporal ; Wm. Dickerson, third corporal ; Wm. Blake, Wm. Bein, Felix Burns (Goshen), James Carrigan, Henry Crampton, Wm. Davis, Jesse Enhout, Jacob Jackson, Patrick Harney, John A. Kennedy, Herman Lane, Wm. Martin, Andrew Martin, E. S. McCar- ter (Hamptonburgh), Wm. Muliner, John O'Brien, Jesse Middagh, Edward Nickerson, Sylvester Parrot, W'm. E. Quinn, Morris Radney, Samuel P. Smith, Patrick Stevens, Sylvanus Swartwont, Cornelius Schoonmaker (Ist), Henry Terwilliger, Joseph Weed, Wm. Winno, Erastus Wright, John Winters, Washington Eastly, John Barreit, Charles Case (drummer-boy. of Unionville), Wm. Corwin, Wm. Cromley, Calvin Davis, David llays, Edward E. Jackson (Goshen), Samuel Kelly, Lawrence Kilbride, Samuel Langdon, Patrick Martin, O. P. McCarter (Hamptonburgh), Francis McKernna, James Muli- ner, John F. Howard, Robert Mclaughlin, James O'Malley, Jona- than Pound, Samuel Reed, Uzal Roe, Wm. S. Smith, Samuel Smith, John Sumpft, H. T. Schoonmaker, Cornelins Schoonmaker (2d), Wm. Van Tassel, Isaac White, Garrett T. Wood (Chester), Robert Wilson, Wm. B. Craft, John Doty, privates.
At the close of the Mexican war, Capt. Cummins was mustered out. At the breaking out of the Rebel- lion, in 1861, he was residing at Muscatine, Iowa. Fort Sumter surrendered April 14th. The procla- mation for 75,000 men was dated the 15th. Capt. Cummins raised a company the 16th, rode thirty miles that night, and at three o'clock on the morning of the 17th tendered its services to the Governor of the State. A comparison of dates since shows that it was the first company (without any nucleus) that was raised west of the Alleghanies. Mr. Cummins be- came captain of the company, and it was ranked Co. A of the First Iowa. His command served in the Missouri campaign under Gen. Lyon. He was trans- ferred to the Sixth Iowa, and promoted lieutenant- colonel. At the expiration of the term of service he was mustered out, came back to Orange County, and assisted in raising the One Hundred and Twenty- fourth, of which he became lieutenant-colonel. July 2, 1863, Col. Ellis was killed at Gettysburg, and Lieut .- Col. Cummins was promoted colonel, his rank dating from that day. He was wounded at Gettys- burg, but was with his command at the battle of the Wilderness, where he was totally disabled, May 6, 1864. He was discharged from the officers' hospital at Annapolis, Sept. 20, 1864.
Alexander Wilkin, who raised Co. K of the Tenth United States Infantry for the Mexican war, was
also settled in Iowa, and in the war of the Rebellion became colonel of the Second Iowa. He was killed in Georgia.
REGULAR ARMY.
A. J. Moore, the present supervisor, enlisted, Nov. 1, 1858, in the Second United States Dragoons, and served five years, being discharged Nov. 1, 1863. He was wounded in several engagements, and once taken prisoner. June 24, 1867, he again enlisted in the Third Cavalry, and served another term of five years, receiving his discharge June 24, 1872.
WAR OF 1861-65.
This struggle called out many volunteers from this town, as well as from the other towns of the county, It may be that the history of the war of 1861-65 must wait for a future chronicler to write its story in the steady, passionless prose of a Macaulay ; but it is not too soon to say that in future years men will scan muster rolls and explore old archives to read the names of the heroes of 1861-65. As eagerly as the men of to-day strive to rescue from oblivion the name of every Revolutionary soldier, so will the men of another century study the rolls of the great civil war to learn the names of those who participated in the conflict. The humblest resident of Goshen who obeyed the summons to arms and died in the service is worthy to be remembered with the heroes of other days, and to have a monument erected to his memory.
OFFICIAL ACTION, 1861-65 .- At a special town- meeting held Aug. 20, 1864, resolutions were passed authorizing the raising of $50,000 for the purpose of paying bounties to volunteers under the call of the President for 500,000 men. The town officers were instructed to issue bonds for the purpose of raising the said sum, and a committee was appointed, viz. : J. E. Vail, Thomas Edsall, and George W. Green, who should have the management and disposal of the bonds.
At another town-meeting, held Feb. 5, 1865, the sum of $30,000 was voted for the purpose of paying bounties to volunteers under the then recent call.
Ellis A. Post, John D. Bradner, and David Redfield were appointed a committee to fix and regulate the amount of bounty to be paid, and were vested with exclusive and ample authority to manage the whole matter according to their judgment and discretion.
By a report of the supervisor, Mr. John C. Wallace, made at the close of the war to the bureau of military statistics, it appears that the number of men furnished by the town of Goshen was as follows:
