ilton College, thus linking his name with a competition in which he had himself gained distinction.
A classmate of the foregoing was Charles L. Buckingham, eminent like him for scholarship, having taken more prizes than any other mem- ber of the class, including the Clark prize, and who became a part of the same regiment. He was the son of Daniel P. Buckingham, clerk. of the county and a recent comer to Utica. The son entered the One Hundred and Forty- sixth as second lieutenant. He was wounded at the Wilderness and while at home recovering from his injury was pro- moted to first lieutenant. He rejoined his comrades and was only eight days in their midst when he was killed while on picket duty. Be- loved by a large circle of friends his loss was widely mourned.
" Willie " Bacon was another brave youth who was summoned from his college studies by the first notes of war. He was the son of Hon. William J. Bacon and was born in February, 1842. He entered Ham- ilton College in 1859 and was quietly pursuing his alloted tasks when the guns of Sumter aroused the patriotism slumbering in so many hearts. He at once presented to his parents his earnest plea to be per- mitted to enroll himself in any capacity among the defenders of his country. This leave was obtained and he was enlisted as a private in Company A of the Fourteenth Regiment. With it he went to Wash- ington in 1861. A month later, by invitation of Colonel Christian, of the Twenty-sixth, he was transferred to that regiment and in August, in consequent of the retirement of some of its officers, he was commis- sioned its adjutant. Ere long he was engaged in the trying service which fell to its lot. He was wounded at the second fight at Manassas and was over a month at home, but returned before his convalescence was complete. In the meantime he had passed from the light hearted and impulsive boy to the maturity of early manhood, and his second return to duty was with a sober and thoughtful view of the condition of the country and of his own responsibilities and risks. Overtaking his comrades he shared with them the exhausting marches through Vir- ginia to the Rappahannock. When, on the 13th of December, 1862, they were engaged in the fierce assault upon the entrenched position at Fredericksburg he was conspicuous for his manly bravery and an ex- ample to his soldiers. While gallantly leading them onward he fell

mortally wounded and survived but three days longer. Modest, gen- erous, and fearless he was universally admired and never was a word lisped to his discredit.
Another victim of the battle of Fredericksburg was Lieut. N. Garrow Throop, of noble and generous impulses and an efficient officer. He raised the first company for Colonel Zook's regiment (the One Hundred and Fifty-seventh), saw much active service, was badly wounded at An- tietam, but returned to duty to meet his death-stroke in the desperate assault on Fredericksburg. He was a nephew of Hon. Ward Hunt.
Catharinus B. Mervine, who died at City Point, Va., August 17, 1864, was the son of Rear-Admiral William Mervine, for many years a sojourner in Utica. Admiral Mervine entered the navy in 1809 and was nearly sixty years in service, twenty-five years at sea, four on shore, and thirty unemployed. From the War of 1812 to that of 1861 he had been on numerous cruises and borne a part in many naval undertak- ings. Wounded at Black Rock, guarding in Charleston Harbor against the nullification disturbances of 1832, capturing in the Mexican War a brig which had two American vessels under her guns, planting the American flag on the fort at Monterey in 1848, and in 1861, while in command of the Gulf Blockading Squadron, planning the attack which was so heroically carried out by his subordinate-these are among the events of his more active life. When off duty his home was here, where his untarnished record, his social attractiveness, and courtly, old-school manners secured him universal regard. He lived to see the war at an end, though unfitted by his age to take a conspicuous part in it, and died September 25, 1868. His son (" Cass" as he was familiarly called) joined the army in 1861 as a private in the Citizens Corps (Company A of the Fourteenth Regiment), was made sergeant- major when the regiment was organized, and later was appointed adjutant. He served on the staff with General McQuade while he was brigade commander in General Porter's division. After the seven days' battles before Richmond he was appointed assistant adjutant-general to Gen- eral Griffin by reason of his good conduct in those battles, and at the time of his death he held the same rank in the First Division of the Fifth Corps. He possessed sterling qualities as a man and a soldier.
The above are but a few, a very few, of the brave men who imperilled

their lives in our behalf. The whole number is large of those who went from Utica and were enrolled in the regiments of Oneida County and elsewhere. To catalogue more of them, to tell of their heroic deeds and of the hardships they encountered, would be to compile a military history of a large portion of the State rather than a record of the annals of the city. It would be to give to the career of the soldiers a promi- nence disproportionate to those of many worthy civilians whom our limited space forbids us even to mention.
CHAPTER IX.
FOURTH DECADE OF THE CITY'S HISTORY.
The War record Continued - A new Armory built on the site of the Market - List of business Houses of 1863 - The Draft in Utica - Burning of the Female Academy and the Free Academy - Close of the War - Growth and Prosperity in the dawn of Peace - Efforts toward the Establishment of a Police and Fire Commission - Building of the new County Clerk's Office.
T HE officers elected at the charter election of 1862 were as follows : Mayor, D. C. Grove; clerk, Thomas McIncrow; treasurer, Will- iam P. Carpenter ; attorney, William J. Stanford ; supervisors, John H. Douglass, W. Baker, H. H. Roberts, George Pearson, G. G. Roberts, Paul Keiser, T. Buchanan, jr. ; aldermen, William A. Everts, Thomas Van Embergh, John Griffiths, Benjamin F. Shaw, Patrick Devlin, James Merriman, Homer Townsend; surveyor, Harvey Park, jr .; street com- missioner, Jacob Ehresman. The mayor in addressing the old board complimented them on their harmony and measures of economy during the year. In his inaugural he said there was no floating debt on the city and the treasury was free from every embarrassment. Balance in the treasury was $4,000 and there was about $1,000 yet to be collected. He spoke of the new police force provided for by the new charter and the need of a watch-house. The city debt he said was $162,000, in- cluding $250,000 Utica and Black River Railroad bonds, which was $10,000 less than in 1858.

In the council on March 2Ist the salaries of the new police force were fixed at $40 for the chief and assistants per month and $35 for the members. The same meeting appointed the following as the first paid policemen as distinguished from " watchmen ": Lawrence Sullivan, H. Scholtes, David Hess, John Nenninger, James H. Frear, Patrick Waldon, George W. Keating, John Johnson, James McVey, W. W. Long, Thomas Dolan, Jacob Seaman. David Hess was chosen as chief and James H. Frear assistant. On the 3Ist of March the council adopted rules and regulations for the new police.
A brick circular sewer was ordered in May in Washington street from Fayette to the seminary buildings ; a stone sewer was ordered in Tibbits, Eagle, Howard avenue, and Leah street at a cost of about $5,000. This was the principal improvement for several years. The policy of the city government this year was one of continued economy and very little improvement was made. The Herald said the council of this year was earning a reputation as economists. August 15th the council was petitioned for privilege to build a horse railroad between Utica and New Hartford and Utica and New York Mills. The petition was subse- quently granted and the road built in 1863. Late in 1859 a petition was presented to the council signed by a large number of citizens asking a grant to the State of the Market lot and land on Bleecker street for a site on which to build an armory for the Forty-fifth Regiment, on con- dition that the basement should be reserved for a watch-house. On the 3d of February, 1860, a resolution was adopted to execute a deed of the property to the State without the watch-house provision, the State refusing to accept it with that provision. The necessary steps were taken and the State erected the building at a cost of $6,000. The armory was finished in 1862. On the 10th of February the Sixth ward was by resolution divided into two election districts. The com- mittee appointed to revise the charter reported their work as embracing three kinds : First, the consolidation of the original charter and its amendments into one homogeneous whole ; second, the supply of appar- ent deficiencies. Of these changes the most important, and all that call for especial mention here, were an entire change in the police depart- ment by abolishing the night watch and marshal, dispensing with the work done by constables as far as it related to the city, and the substi-

tution of a paid police. The term of office of assessor was made two years instead of one, and the selection of mayor was placed in the hands of the council. The various changes made by this committee, and particularly the general consolidation and simplifying of the provisions, was perhaps the most important work done on the charter down to that time. The new charter was adopted in February, 1862.
After a period of comparative quiet in relation to war matters the governors of loyal States recommended to the President the call for 300,000 volunteers (issued July 6th) and news of McClellan's battles be- fore Richmond again excited the public pulse. In those battles a large number of Uticans were killed or wounded, among them Colonel Mc- Quade, Captain Harrer (who died from loss of a leg), and Lieut. George W. Griffiths and E. H. Lloyd. The total loss of the Fourteenth and Twenty-sixth Regiments in the series of battles was 226 killed, wounded, and missing. No sooner was the call for more volunteers promulgated than measures were adopted here to fill the quota. A meeting was held "in support of the government " on July 14th after the issue of a call which was numerously signed by leading men. The meeting was a large one and was addressed by the mayor, Horatio Seymour, W. J. Bacon, Francis Kernan, E. H. Roberts, H. Denio, and C. H. Doolittle. A subscription list was circulated to raise a fund to pay a bounty to volunteers and over $7,000 were subscribed, which amount was largely increased within a few days. The State also provided for the payment of $50 bounty, which, with a like amount offered by citizens and the national bounty of $100, made $200 that the volunteers were offered. The county bounty was provided for at a supervisors' meeting of Au- gust 15th. The city was again filled with enthusiasm and by July 15th four companies were well under way. On the 24th of July Colonel Mc- Quade came home after fifteen months' service and was given a royal reception, and in the same month Capt. Thomas H. Bates, of the Em- pire Battery, which had been almost wiped out of existence at the front and had lost its guns, came home to recruit for it so as to again place it on a strong footing. The quota of the city of Utica on each call for 300,000 men was 325. Under the first call Oneida County enlisted about 1,300 more men than her quota called for. Early in August. the first company of the Fourth Oneida Regiment was mustered with Alvin

White as captain ; George W. Brigham, first lieutenant; Isaac H. Dann, second lieutenant; and on the 9th of that month Captain Daggett mus- tered a company as B. The draft that was anticipated caused no ap- prehension in Oneida County. By the 15th of August so active were the efforts made to recruit that the fourth regiment from the county was filled and left for Washington on the 22d after a splendid demonstration in its honor. The draft was ordered for September Ist, and prepara- tions were carried on almost to the last day, undoubtedly stimulating enlistments, but the enrollment was not completed in time and the draft was necessarily postponed. As the enrollment advanced it was learned that the quota for the county under the two calls was 3,254, of which Utica had to furnish 1,354.
During the month of September in anticipation of the draft recruit- ing was very active and the fifth regiment from the county (afterward the One Hundred and Forty-sixth) was rapidly filled up. It encamped at Rome and on the IIth of October left for the front under command of Col. Kenner Garrard. On the 22d of August the military com - mittee asked the mayor to urge merchants to close their stores at 4 o'clock every day but Saturdays in order to give them and their em- ployees opportunity to aid in recruiting. The mayor complied in a proc- lamation and the movement began on the 25th of August. The war fever was at its greatest height and meetings were held almost every night, and before September 17th the First, Fourth, and Seventh wards had filled their quotas. On the 8th of November an order was pro mulgated from Albany to hold the draft until further orders, and the county bounty was ordered by the supervisors to be paid until the draft took place or the quota was full. The date of the draft had already been postponed to November 10th. The outcome was that the persist- ent work of citizens filled the quota and the draft was averted.
In September and October the need of more small currency began to be seriously felt, and on the 20th of November a meeting of merchants was called to devise some means of relief. Many business men had al- ready issued shinplasters upon their own credit, but it was felt that this was a doubtful means of relief. At the meeting a committee was ap- pointed to report a plan of relief. Their report was that it was advisa- ble to ask the council to authorize the issue by the city of fractional
313

currency. The application was made to the council and at the next meeting the matter was brought up. Mayor Grove opposed such ac- tion as being illegal and was supported by a few of the aldermen ; but a resolution to issue $20,000 in fractional notes was adopted. Better coun- cils prevailed, however, before the succeeding meeting and the measure was stifled by a failure of the council to appoint a committee of issue. The increase of the United States fractional currency soon rendered such a course on the part of the city unnecessary, although many other cities had adopted it. On the 5th of December the same council asked the district attorney to prosecute all persons who should issue shinplas- ters after January 1, 1863.
Thomas H. Bates, captain of the Empire Battery, who has been al- luded to as having returned home to recruit his depleted battery, left the city on the 9th of October with volunteers and his battery became Company A in the First New York Artillery ; but his old battery (what 'was left of it) was held by the War Department in the organizations to which they had been assigned in June. He returned again in Decem - ber to fill up his battery.
