Morell, of Cooperstown ; Maj .- Gen. Walter Holt, of Spring- field ; Maj .- Gen. Van Alstyne, of Schoharie county ; Maj .- Gen. S. S. Burnside, of Oneonta ; and Maj. E. B. Bigelow, of Woreester.
The following were brigadier-generals who stopped at that rank, viz .: Levi Stewart, of Milford; Dr. Sumner Ely, of Clarksville; R. W. Robinson, of Middlefield.
The towns of Otsego, Hartwick, and parts of Exeter, Springfield, and Middlefield, were organized as the 2d Regiment of Infantry, and the first colonel in command was Franeis Henry, of Cooperstown. Succeeding colonels were as follows : Farran Stranahan, of Cooperstown ; Rufus Steere, of Hartwick ; Augustus Rogers, of Cooperstown; Chester Jarvis and J. A. Cheney, of Fly Creek. The latter was in command of the regiment when the law was repealed and the organization abandoned.

CHAPTER XXIL.
OTSEGO IN THE REBELLION.
President Lincoln's First Call for Troops - Prompt Response of Cherry Valley-Organization of First Company-The 39th New York State National Guards-Recruiting the Regiment-Organiza- tion of the 76th-Officers-Ordered to Washington-First Death in the Regiment-Camp Life-"Slow Note"-Col. Green leaves the Regiment-William P. Wainwright assumes Command- Under Fire-Battle of Warrenton Springs-Battle of Gainesville -- Gallant Action of Col. Wainwright.
THE lightning had seareely flashed the intelligence to the expectant north that Maj. Anderson and his gallant band had surrendered prisoners of war, and that Sumter was in possession of the Southern Confederacy, ere the patriotie sons of old Otsego were rallying to the support of their imperiled country, and, in the first outburst of north- ern patriotism, under the president's eall for 75,000 men, a company was raised in Cherry Valley, of which George W. Tuekerman was captain, and Egbert Oleott and Cleve- land J. Campbell lieutenants, and was offered for service at Albany, but as the eall had been filled its members joined other organizations.
Enlistments were made during the summer from this county in various regiments, but it was not until Septem- ber that concerted action was taken for the purpose of rais- ing an entire regiment from the county.
For many years preceding, and at the breaking out of the Rebellion, Cherry Valley had been the headquarters of the 39th Regiment New York State National Guards, of which John D. Shaul was colonel. This regiment, at a parade in September, 1861, authorized their colonel to tender its services to the governor for duty at the front. In the fol- lowing month, Gen. George E. Danforth, commander of the brigade to which the 39th was attached, proceeded to Cherry Valley with orders to recruit the regiment at once. The order also established a branch military depot there, with Gen. Danforth post commandant. Recruiting pro- gressed rapidly, and Oct. 14, 1861, two companies, Capt. Cook's, Co. B, and Capt. Young's, Co. C, were mustered into the United States service. Capt. Swan's company was mustered in on the 22d of the same month. Reeruit- ing still went on briskly, with a fair prospect of ultimately filling the regiment to its maximum strength.
Dr. George W. Metcalf was appointed surgeon, and A. R. Smith quartermaster. It was quartered in a hop-house, and the M. P. church was used as a mess-room.
Much time and money was bestowed upon the organiza- tion by Hon. James Davenport, Col. Shaul, Gen. Danforth, and Quartermaster Smith, but on Jan. 8, 1862, only six com- panies, embracing about five hundred men, had been mus- tered into the service. At this time an order was received for the regiment to proceed to Albany, and from that mo- ment all hopes were abandoned of being able to raise an entire regiment from the county, as they anticipated that which soon became a fact,-a consolidation with companies from other counties.
The six companies were consolidated into five, and com- manded by Capts. A. L. Swan, J. E. Cook, J. W. Young, E. N. Hanson, and N. Bowdish. These companies, com- hosed of a line-appearing lot of men, left Cherry Valley on
Jan. 8, arriving in Albany the same day. Here two com- panies, commanded by Capts. Hanson and Bowdish, were transferred to the 3d New York AArtillery, and three were consolidated with the 76th Regiment. The company com- manded by Capt. A. L. Swan became Co. H, the one com- manded by Capt. Cook became Co. I, and the company com- manded by Capt. Young became Co. K. Each company, as far as possible, retained their company officers. The bal- anee of the 76th was raised in Cortland county.
The regiment was offered as follows : colonel, N. W. Green, of Cortland; lieutenant-colonel, John D. Shaul. of Springfield, Otsego County ; major, Charles E. Livingston, of New York City ; surgeon, J. C. Nelson, of Cortland county ; assistant-surgeon, Geo. W. Metcalf, of Otsego County ; chaplain, H. Stone Richardson, New York Mills : adjutant, Heman F. Robinson, of Cortland ; quartermaster. A. P. Smith, of Cortland ; quartermaster-sergeant, A. J. Jarvis, of Cortland ; commissary-sergeant, William Storrs, of Alleghany.
January 16, 1862, orders were received to be ready to march on the following day. On the afternoon of the 17th the regiment marched to the capitol, where a beautiful stand of colors was presented to the regiment by S. R. Campbell, Esq., in behalf of his mother, Mrs. Samuel Campbell, of New York Mills.
" Mr. Samuel Campbell, a man of wealth and character. had been a sort of godfather to the 76th Regiment. pre- senting the colonel and chaplain each with a splendid black war-steed, with equipments complete, and in many other ways at great expense and trouble aided the regiment."
The Albany Evening Journal of that day, speaking of the 76th, said, " This regiment is composed of as fine ap- pearing and as intelligent body of men as have been gath- ered together sinee the breaking out of the Rebellion.
" The regiment left Albany at seven o'clock, and at noon next day arrived in New York. They were marchel to City Hall barracks, where they remained until Tuesday. January 21, when they were taken to Riker's island. about ten miles up the East river from the Battery.
" The regiment had not at this time received any pay. though many of the men had been in the service four months. Many of them had families depending upon their earnings for support, and when it is remembered that the 76th received no local bounty, and the government bounty of $100 was only payable at the end of two years' service. it will be understood that the men were very anxious to make the acquaintance of a paymaster.
" Jan. 23, 1862, will long be remembered by the time-u ?- bers of the 76th as the day which, through the medium of greenbacks and silver, brought happiness to their ~Idier hearts. Few of them slept that night until some portion of their pay was on its way to the loved ones at home. Probably $10,000 was thus sent home at this time.
" This was the first time we had seen salt water. an l the men made the best of their opportunity.

clams until their stomachs rebelled under the tyrannical oppression of their appetites. But soldiers are not long permitted to remain in statu quo. Rumors had enlivened the camp of projected expeditions to Kentucky, then to Charleston. But now the orders came to march directly to Washington.
" The regiment proceeded, via Philadelphia and Balti- more. to Washington, and remained two days at the 'Soldier's Retreat,' when they were ordered to Meridian Hill and went into camp. While here the first death occurred, that of William B. Potter, of Co. A. He died February 19, 1862. The historian of the regiment, Hon. A. P. Smith, of Cortland, says, ' With sad hearts we fol- lowed his body to the depot, and he sleeps now in his native town of Taylor, the first offering of the 76th at the bloody shrine of this unholy rebellion.'
" Feb. 24, 1862, the 76th moved from Meridian Hill and occupied Forts DeRussey, Massachusetts, Totten, and Slemmer, with headquarters at Fort Totten."
" A serious difficulty had arisen in the regiment, and it was considered by the military authorities to be in an unfit condition to take the field. The officers, with very few exceptions, had preferred charges against Col. Green, and those charges were being investigated by a military com- mission then convened at Washington. This placed Lieut .- Col. Shaul in command of the regiment. After a some- what protraeted hearing, Col. Green was ordered to Wash- ington, and thenee to his home in Cortland, N. Y., where he was afterwards by order of the secretary of war dis- * missed from the service. The controversy growing out of the trial of Col. Green for a time nearly paralyzed the regiment and destroyed its usefulness. Good men found themselves differing with equally good men upon the merits and demerits of the prosecution, and skillful tacticians confessed that the only way to harmonize the feeling was to bring the regiment into action."
March 20 the headquarters of the regiment were estab- lished at Brightwood, Fort Massachusetts, formerly the headquarters of Gen. Keyes. IFere the regiment remained until May, nothing of particular interest happening to re- lieve the ceaseless monotony of camp-life.
On May 1 orders finally came for the regiment to move to Fredericksburg. They marched to the landing, a dis- tanee of seven miles, where they embarked, and were soon steaming down the Potomac, and at midnight reached Aquia Creek. Here they disembarked, and before noon the order to " fall in" was given, and the 76th started for Fredericksburg, eighteen miles distant. The first night they encamped about six miles from Aquia Creek, and on the following day, through a drenching rain, they proceeded on their march, and at ten o'clock p.M. arrived within sight of Fredericksburg. Here the 76th again went into camp and again participated in the dull routine of sokliers' life in camp. While here they occasionally went ont on fora- ging expeditions which served in a measure to relieve the monotony.
The following is a copy of what was termed a " slowo note," given by the soldiers in return for provisions, ete. :
The undersigned freely acknowledges to have received on this first duy of July, 1862, from - Wallace, of King George county, Va.,
for the use and service of the United States of Amerien, one pony, eight mules, six fat cattle, teu good sheep, one wagon-load of pota- toes, one wagon-load of vegetables, which I have valued at $1000. This voucher will be payable at the conclusion of the war. upon suffi- eient testimony being presented that said Wallace has been a loyal citizen of the United States from the date hereof. By order of
BRIG .- GEN. ABNER DOUBLEDAY.

July 2, Col. William P. Wainwright, having been as- signed to the 76th, assumed command and immediately instituted a thorough system of discipline. He was eon- sidered by many to be unusually and unnecessarily severe in regimental drill; but in the battles in which they subse- quently participated, when they saw other and poorer-drilled regiments waver and break, while the 76th remained firm, openly thanked the officer who had foreed them to a drill so beneficial.
At this time Maj .- Gen. Rufus King was in command of the 1st Division of the 1st Army Corps. ' The 1st Brigade of this division was commanded by Gen. Hatch, and con- sisted of the 2d Regiment of United States sharpshooters, and four regiments of New York troops. The 2d Brigade was under the command of the intrepid Gen. Doubleday, and was composed of the 76th and 95th New York regi- ments, and the 56th Pennsylvania, to which was afterwards added the 7th Indiana. The 3d Brigade, under Gen. Patrick, was composed of four New York regiments. The 4th Brigade, under Gen. Gibbon, was composed of one Indiana and three Wisconsin regiments.
On Aug. 9 orders were received for King's Division to leave Fredericksburg and move to Culpepper. In the after- noon of this day, all being in readiness, the forward move commenced. Upon their arrival at Chancellorsville they were informed that the object was to reinforce Banks, who was hotly engaged with Stonewall Jackson beyond the Rapidan. The general ordered them to press on as rapidly as possible, but not to inform the men of their anticipated engagement, lest they should become exhausted by exertion. The adjutant, in speaking of this, says, -.
" Murder will out, though, and the men seemed to have an intuitive perception, from the appearance of things, that gunpowder was being burned not a great way off; for I very soon observed many knowing winks, a sort of stiffening of the back, a throwing back of the head and elevation of the nose, together with an evident desire to rid themselves of some of their extra traps, which convinced me they under- stood matters as well as though the same had been explained to them in ' special order.' "
At six o'clock P.M. they reached Ely's Ford, where they halted until three o'clock in the morning, when the march was resumed. At daybreak they reached Richards' Cross Roads, where they again halted. Toward night orders were received for a forced march, when on the soldier rushed ; but as morning dawned eame the intelligence that the battle of Cedar Mountain had been fought and Jackson was fall- ing back.
Aug. 12 was a day of excitement with the 76th. In the morning Col. Wainwright informed the regiment that a battle was imminent, and he hoped that every man would do his duty. The enemy, however, did not attack, and they remained in camp until the 16th, when orders were received

to move, and at one o'clock, after a weary march, they went into camp at the foot of Cedar Mountain.
Early on the following morning marching orders were received, and the 76th was soon proceeding toward Cul- pepper. At eleven o'clock they halted, and at daybreak the next morning were again on the way.
" This was the turning point in the forward movement of Gen. Pope upon Richmond."
" The battle of Cedar Mountain was fought on Saturday, Aug. 9. The next day was too hot and the men too much exhausted on both sides to renew the fight. In consequence of the vigorous resistance of the night previous and the severe loss of the enemy in attempting to advance before daylight of the 10th, Jackson drew back his forces toward Cedar Mountain, about two miles from the front of our army. Our pickets were immediately moved forward, sup- ported by Milroy's Brigade, and occupied the ground."
" Gen. Pope's whole army, exclusive of Gen. Banks' Corps, which was in no condition for service, numbered about 20,000 artillery and infantry and about 2000 cavalry. Gen. King, as we have seen, had been ordered forward, and after a prompt and very fatiguing march arrived on the ground late in the evening of the 11th. The day was occu- pied by both armies in burying the dead and bringing off the wounded."
