staid in the brokers hands. The men bought in this whole- sale way too, were of very little aid to the army. Hundreds of them proved to be bounty jumpers instead of soldiers- enlisting, running away, re-enlisting, again escaping, only to repeat the transaction if opportunity occurred.
The disgraceful transactions of the bounty period have seldom been equaled in the history of the nation. And yet through it all, it should be observed that the principles upon which the whole affair was based were correct. It was entirely honorable for an individual to put in a substitute if he could ; it was entirely consistent to vote a tax to reim- burse him, in whole or part, because by putting in a substi- tute he was thereby filling the quota of the town and reliev- ing the whole people from draft. It is true that the indi. vidual procured exemption for himself three years, while for the people at large exemption was secured only from the pending draft. This was not wrong when the sums voted were kept within reasonable limits. Ordinarily the person putting in a substitute paid considerable cash in addition to the sum voted by the town. He was obliged to raise the whole at the time and wait some months or years for reimbursement. He was usually at considerable trouble, while the citizen only paying taxes was not. Besides it is not clear how any form of substitution could have really accomplished any better results to the men of a town liable to bear arms. Had the quota not been filled by those who put in substitutes, the whole people would have been subject to the pending draft as well as to future calls. If the substi- tutes had been hired in a body by the town, and placed to no one's individual credit, then there would have been uni- versal liability to any future draft. There is no dishonor attaching to the individual citizens who paid their money to put in substitutes, even though the government or the sub- stitutes were defrauded by some intermediate party. If, as is sometimes asserted, hundreds of straw men were furnished, men only on paper, that is no fault of the citizens who sup- posed the government was securing genuine men in return for the money paid. They had a right to suppose that the government was strong enough to guard against imposition.

The records of the Provost Marshal's office were gathered up and deposited at the National Capital at the close of the war. The government officials are wary in granting access even for historical purposes to any war records, for fear that fraudulent pension evidence may be manufactured. It is therefore scarcely possible to furnish a complete record of those who obtained substitutes. In a portion of the Town Clerk's offices the list can be found, in others it cannot. In some cases the lists were furnished to the newspapers. These explanations show why only a portion of the towns are given, and doubtless for these the lists are not in any manner complete.
The editor has written to every town for complete lists, but without success.

It will be seen that these memoranda are especially meagre, for by this method of furnishing substitutes there was a large number of men furnished, so much so that with the volun- teering which continued, and the enlistment of men abroad on behalf of the towns, the quotas were fully completed and the expected drafts were avoided. In the south-western portion of the county there was a movement to form a full company as shown in the following account :
From the Palmyra Courier, August 6, 1864.
" On Saturday evening of last week an informal meeting of our citizens was held at Col. Corning's office for the purpose of considering and devising some means by which our quota could be filled. Some fifty of our business men were

present, and by the unanimous expression, Col. Corning was urgently solicited to take the lead, procure a commission and raise a company of volunteers. After some hesitation, occasioned only by sacrifices already made and still further called for, Col. Corning consented, and with his usual promptitude and energy, started on Sunday evening for Albany to procure from Governor Seymour the proper commission and authorization papers. Monday morning at ten o'clock the editor of this paper received the following telegram :
ALBANY, August 15, 1864.
" To E. S. Averill, Palmyra : " I have the order-Go ahead. J. W. CORNING.
" A meeting was immediately called for Monday evening for the purpose of taking into consideration the subject of raising a special town bounty to such persons as may volun- teer from and to the credit of this town. At the hour named the hall was filled to overflowing with the taxpayers of the town. On motion Henry S. Flower was made President. The call for the meeting was read and the object thereof stated by the President. After extended remarks from sev- eral gentlemen, and for the purpose of concentrating action, Mr. Ferrin proposed and offered for the consideration of the meeting the following resolution :
" Resolved, That we recommend the town officers of the Town of Palmyra to call immediately a special town meet- ing of the electors of the town of Palmyra to vote upon the question of raising a special Town Bounty of two hundred dollars additional to the County Bounty, to be paid to each of such persons as may volunteer and be accepted into the military or naval service of the United States, or be received as substitutes from and to the credit of the Town of Palmyra, unless the Board of Supervisors of the county shall in the meantime meet and increase the County Bounty.
" The resolution was unanimously adopted by a rising vote.
" Colonel Corning, who had just reached home from Albany, came into the hall, when the assemblage rose and gave him three rousing cheers. The Colonel responded at some length, stating the result of his mission to Albany, and announcing his complete readiness and anxiety to receive recruits.

"On Tuesday morning Col. Corning pitched his tent in Main street in front of the Hotel and commenced the work of recruiting in earnest. Every citizen is wide awake to the necessity of filling our quota."
In 1863, the National Guard of the State of New York was organized in the Eastern part of the county. The intention was to organize a full regiment in each Assembly District. The ranks were filled by a draft. Officers were appointed and trainings took place at several points, at Lyons, Clyde and Sodus. In the Western District it does not appear that any regimental organization was effected. The Palmyra militia was called out and drilled at least once under Cap- tain' Mark Finley, but that is about the only item of their doings that we have found. For the Eastern Assembly Dis- trict the following List of officers appears in the records at Albany :

The organization continued in existence but a year or two, and for the last fifteen years Wayne county has been without any organized militia.
During the existence of this regimental organization, the Supervisors took some action in relation to it as. appears below.
MILITIA ORGANIZATIONS-NATIONAL GUARD.
November 21st, 1864, Colonel A. D. Adams, of the One Hundred and Seventh Regiment, N. G. S. N. Y., presented a communication requesting that the Military Fund now in the County Treasury, and standing to the credit of the Fifty-eighth Regiment, be passed to the credit of the militia organization in this county ; fifty-eight being now the number of a Livingston County Regiment, and that the Board provide suitable armories for the use of the companies now organized.
This communication was referred to the committee of the whole, and afterwards to a special committee.
Subsequently on motion of Mr. Flower, it was voted that one-half of the above described Military Fund be placed to the credit of the One Hundred and Seventh Regiment of the National Guard, then being organized in the First Assembly District, and one-half to the regiment then being formed in the Second Assembly District.
An interesting affair in connection with the history of the Twenty-seventh took place December 2d, 1864. We can do no better than to give the newspaper account, which is full of the enthusiasm belonging to such a subject and such an occasion.

FLAG PRESENTATION.
On Friday evening last, the flag of Company B, Twenty- seventh Regiment, which was deposited in the Court House soon after the return of the company, was formally pre- sented to the County Authorities, to be preserved with its archives. The presentation address was made by John H. Camp, Esq., at the evening meeting of the Board of Super- visors, December 2d, 1864.
Mr. Camp first spoke briefly of the inauguration of the rebellion ; of the spirit of loyalty and devotion to country that was awakened at the North when the telegram came that Fort Sumter had been fired upon ; and then said :
" Animated by this spirit of patriotism, a number of men, residents of the town of Lyons, volunteered to do battle for their country, and formed themselves into a company that was afterwards known as Company B, of the Twenty- seventh Regiment of New York Volunteers. The ladies of this town, desiring to give these noble men some token, expressive of their appreciation of the valor and courage thus displayed by them, presented them with this flag, --- that in the quiet of the camp would remind them of the love of the dear ones at home, and to which in the shock of battle, when danger threatened, they could look up, and feel that though far away, there were sympathizing hearts beat- ing with anxiety for their safety-friends who would rejoice with them over victories gained, and mourn with them when they grieved that one of their number had been called to lay down his life upon his country's altar. The flag was accepted by Company B, with the promise that never should it be dishonored. And nobly was that pledge kept. Through thirteen fiercely contested battles was it carried in triumph. Never was it lowered to an enemy ; and no particle of Southern soil stains its folds. In all the battles of the peninsula campaign, was it honorably borne; and when in the fight at Gaines' Mill, the standard bearer of Company B, James Snedaker, was severely wounded and fainting from the loss of blood, as he was sinking to the ground, he passed it to his comrades, saying : 'Boys, don't let the flag go down.' At the battle of Second Bull Run, South Mountain, Antietam, Fredericksburg and Chancellorville, was seen this flag waving in the thickest of the fight.
" And now these noble men, who have with such credit to themselves and honor to their country fulfilled the trust del- egated to them by the ladies of the town of Lyons, desire to present to the county of Wayne,through you, its represent-

atives, this flag, so honored from its connections, and which has become historic from its associations. Receive it, then, gentlemen. Let there be inscribed upon it the names of those battles where it so proudly waved. Preserve it as a sacred relic, testifying to the noble deeds of these gallant men who went forth to fight our battles, and to remind those who ir. after years will fill our places, of the darkest hour of our national existence, and of the alacrity with which these men sprang to arms at the country's call ; and that they, after a glorious and victorious campaign, returned to be welcomed by a loving people, still bearing at the head of their column that same flag, with not a star erased, with not a stripe diminished."
Mr. Hance, Chairman of the Board, responded substan- tially as follows :
" SIR :- On behalf of this Board and of the County of Wayne, I thank you for the honor you have done us in the presentation of this war-worn flag; and through you I thank the gallant officers and soldiers who have so nobly upheld it on many a bloody field. We will preserve it as a memento of the patriotism and sacrifices of the noble sons of Wayne, who placed themselves between their loved homes and the desolations of war. We will honor and respect the survivors, sympathize with and assist the suffering, and hold in everlasting remembrance the memory of those who have so nobly given their lives for the salvation of the liberty and integrity of our beloved country."
CHAPTER VII.
1865- DRAFT IN THE SPRING -OFFICIAL ACTION - MEN DRAWN - SUBSTI- TUTES PROCURED- PROCLAMATION OF PEACE ENDS THE STRUGGLE.
T HE months of 1864 had passed slowly away with mingled opinions among the people as to the probable course of future events.
Perhaps as dark a time as any in the whole history of the war was in the month of August, 1864. To those in com- mand of the armies, or those high in the councils of the government, there may have been information that enabled them to read the future. The people could not. They may have known the internal weakness of the Confederacy. The people did not. They may have seen that the unwearied perseverance of the Union generals was having its due effect, and that the way was surely, even if slowly being prepared for a splendid victory. The people had no sufficient information to enable them to form any such conclusion.
In mid summer the people could only see that immediate results had not been achieved in the campaign that was inaugurated by the battle of the Wilderness, May 5. In August, Grant was seriously delayed, if not baffled, in his plans for the reduction of Richmond. Sherman was delayed before Atlanta. The calls of the Government for men were ringing in the ears of the nation. The fear of a coming draft pressed sorely upon a bewildered people. Grant and Sherman were silent, as great leaders must be. The days of August were full of prolonged, depressing fears.
It was impossible to keep down all doubts. Was this long campaign to be a failure? Was this immense sacrifice of life and treasure to avail only as a display of unsuccessful heroism ?
The capture of Atlanta early in September was the turn of the tide. The brilliant achievements of Sherman and his brave army inspired renewed confidence. From this time
477

on to the end there was not quite the same doubt and fore- bodings that existed in the summer before.
During the fall the efforts to fill the quotas absorbed the public attention. The efforts had been successful; the year had however closed with another call of the President for 300,000 men, and as before the question of furnishing men was the one great question before the towns of Wayne. The Board of Supervisors met the emergency by prompt action as heretofore.
SPECIAL SESSION OF FEBRUARY 20, 1865.
Mr. Hance of Williamson, Chairman. E. W. Sherman, Clerk. £ Committee on Resolutions, Messrs. Valentine, Flower and Lewis. Resolutions adopted.
Resolved, That this Board hereby authorize the payment by the Treasurer of this county of a bounty of Three Hun- dred Dollars to each volunteer or person procuring a substi- tute under the call of the President for 300,000 men, dated December 19, 1864, Four Hundred Dollars for two years; and Six Hundred Dollars for three years, upon proper evi- dence being furnished of their having been mustered into the service of the United States to the credit of Wayne county under such call until the quota of said county is filled or the draft takes place.
Resolved, That the Treasurer be also authorized to pay to each drafted person under said call who actually enters the Military or Naval service of the United States, the sum of Two Hundred and Fifty dollars.
Resolved, That the Treasurer be also authorized to pay to the person procuring such volunteer or substitute mustered into the service of the United States to the credit of this county, the sum of one hundred dollars as hand money.
Resolved, That the Treasurer be hereby authorized to issue the bonds of the county in such sums as he shall see fit, sufficient to carry into effect the above resolutions ; said bonds to be made payable at such periods of time as he shall deem best, in not less than two nor more than five years from February 15, 1865, with annual interest payable with principal at the office of the Treasurer ; said bonds not to be disposed of at less than par value, nor to bear an interest of more than seven per cent. ; said bonds to be signed by the Treasurer and Chairman of this Board.
Resolved, That in the opinion of this Board, all acts of town boards or of special town meetings which have voted town bounties, and have not yet incurred any obligations or
478
MILITARY HISTORY OF WAYNE COUNTY.
made any expenditure, are hereby made void by the State bounty act, passed February 10, 1865, except as to obliga- tions already incurred or expenditures made. (See section 4, of said act.)
Mr. Hance, chairman, resigned, that Mr. Leach of Lyons, might be appointed, for the purpose of more conveniently signing bonds in connection with the Treasurer.
But it was next thing to an impossibility to fill this new call. The men that would now volunteer were few. The arms bearing population was seriously reduced by the large numbers that had previously gone from this county. The hiring of men abroad to fill quotas, as had been done in 1864, was no longer deemed available, at least in sufficient numbers. Considerable effort was made in these directions, but generally without success. It was difficult to find citizens who would now put in substitutes in anticipation of a draft, which had been done to such an extent it 1864. It became evident that a draft must take place. March 10 was first named as the limit for volunteering and for a draft to take place. Some extension of time was secured, but finally the drawing took place.
We give a list of the towns, with the names drawn, so far as they are now obtainable :
ARCADIA.
By diligent and persistent efforts the quota of the town was raised or nearly so. Extension of time was obtained and before that expired the rebellion had been crushed, and the general order suspending the draft terminated all further proceedings.
