THE CIVIL WAR
passed, and the party hatred and sectional animosities are no longer known in the south or the north, we may all fondly cherish the hope that ours is indeed " Union forever! One and inseparable."
As near as can be determined Jefferson county sent into the Union army, in all departments during the period of the war, abont 2, 000 men. The county paid in bounties, through its towns, an aggregate of $333, 475.16, but the cost of the war to the county was a sum far greater than that mentioned; and in loss of life, sufferings on the battlefield and at home, in the hospital and at the fireside -- when we reflect on all the scenes, all the miseries and all the heartaches, the loss cannot be estimated.
At the legislative session of 1861 Jefferson county was represented in the Senate by James A. Bell, and David Montague, David J. Wager and Harvey Bailey represented the three assembly districts into which the county was divided. On April 12 a shot was fired from a mortar bat- tery near old Fort Johnson and fell on Fort Sumter, which was held under the U. S. flag, and soon afterward the garrison surrendered. The news reached the state capitol on Sunday morning, the 14th, and on that afternoon an important and hastily assembled meeting of offi- cials was held in the exeentive chamber. The subject was presented . to the legislature next day, and at once a bill was passed providing for the enrollment of 30,000 volunteer militia to serve two years, and $3,000,000 were appropriated to meet the expense. At the same time a state military board was created.
On April 15 the president issued a proclamation calling for 45,000 militia from the several northern states " to suppress treasonable re- bellion," the quota of New York being seventeen regiments, and under that and later calls, the 12th of July found this state with a total of 46, 224 men at the front. Now let us see what was Jefferson county's military record during this trying period and also during the subsequent years of the war.
A glance at the official records disclose the fact that the county fur- nished men for at least thirty different regiments in all arms of the service, and that her contribution of a grand total of 4, 000 was there- fore much scattered. In some of the regiments the contingent was exceedingly small, hardly worth mention, but according to their im- portance, service and strength they may be mentioned.
Twenty fourth Infantry .- This regiment was recruited almost wholly in Oswego county during the latter part of April and the carly part of

May, 1861. The Jefferson county contingent comprised Company K. which was raised in Ellisburgh by Andrew J. Barney1, who was elected captain; John P. Buckley, lieutenant ; and Jonathan R. Ayers, ensign. The local headqurters were at Belleville. The Twenty fourth was in camp at Elmira until July 2, 1861, on which day, under Col. Timothy Sullivan, it was mustered into service and immediately left for Wash- ington. On the 3d the men went into camp on Meridian Hill. The regiment was differently brigaded several times, but was finally at- tached to the "Iron brigade " and made a splendid record with the army of the Potomac, operating entirely in Maryland and Virginia. However, the story of its service is best told by the appended official list of battles, beginning with Bailey's Cross Roads, in July, 1861, and closing at Chancellorsville in May, 1863. The regiment, under Col. Samuel R. Beardsley, was honorably discharged and mustered out at Elmira, May 29, 1863, having served the full term of enlistment. Later on Col. Wm. C. Raulston was authorized to reorganize the regiment for three years' service, but the authority was modified and it was re- organized as the 24th N. Y. cavalry. During the period of its service the 24th lost a total of 122 men. The battles in which it took part were as follows:
1861 .- Near Bailey's Cross Roads, Va., July 25; near Falls Church, Oct. 8. 1862- Falmouth, April 17-18; Massaponax, Aug. 6; Gen. Pope's campaign, Aug. 16-Sept. 2; Rappahannock river, Aug. 22; Sulphur Springs, Aug. 26; Gainesville, Aug. 28; Groveton, Aug. 29; Second Bull Run, Aug. 30: Little River turnpike, Sept. 1; South Mountain, Md., Sept. 14: Antietam, Sept. 17: Frekericksburg, Va., Dec. 11-15. 1863-Pollack's Mill creek, April 29-May 2. Chaucellorsville, May 2-3.

1 Captain Barney was afterward promoted major of his regiment. He was the son of Dr. Lowry Barney of Henderson. In 1-52, in New York city, Dr. Barney formed an acquaintance with General Thomas J. Jackson (better known in the service as " Stonewall " Jackson) and it appears that the latter's dyspepsia was a subject of conversation between them. Jackson be- came so impressed with the doctor's suggestions as to treatment that he determined to and did visit Henderson and placed himself under Dr. Barney's care. Thus a family acquaintance was made. Just ten years later the once dyspeptic invalid was the famous Stonewall Jackson of the confederate service, and Andrew J. Barney at the same time held a major's commission in the 44th N. Y. Vol. Inf. At the second Bull Run battle (August 30, '62) Mater Barney was killed, and as his men were bearing their lifeless burden from the field they were overtaken by General Jachson and his staff, and were made prisoners ; but chancing to look down at the pale, dead face of the Union officer, the rebel leader recognized his young friend of former years, and the son of his old physician in Henderson. He directed his men to properly care for and embalm the body, and Dr. Buell (late of Ellisburgh) went south and brought it from within the confeder- ate lines and buried it in this county.

most notable commands recruited in the county during the war, for the "flower and the youth" of Jefferson county were with the army, With the exception of four companies the regiment was raised within the county, and was therefore known as the " Jefferson county regiment." Briefly stated the command was recruited in the months of April and May, 1861, rendezvoused and organized at Elmira, and there on June 11th was mustered into service for the term of two years, with William C. Brown, colonel; Stephen L. Potter, lieutenant colonel, and Newton B. Lord, major. However, during its service the personnel of the field and staff was materially changed, in view of which we may have recourse to official record and note these changes :
William C. Brown, colonel; resigned August 2, 1861.
Newton B. Lord, colonel; mustered as major; promoted colonel August 21, 1861 ; resigned February 9. 1863.
John G. Todd, colonel; mustered as captain; promoted major August 10, 1861; lieutenant-colonel Janury 1, 1863; colonel February 9. 1863.
Stephen L. Potter, lieutenant-colonel; resigned August 2, 1861.
Bradley Winslow, lieutenant-colonel; mustered as captain ; promoted lieutenant- colonel August 31, 1961 ; resigned October 31. 1862.
David M. Evans, lieutenant colonel; enlisted as private Co. A ; promoted 1st ser- geant Co. 1 ; promoted adjutant October 28, 1861 ; major, January 1. 1863; lieutenant- colonel, February 9, 1863.
Sidney J. Mendell, major; mustered as captain Co. G; promoted major February 9, 1863.
Lafayette Little, adjutant ; promoted captain Co. 1 October 28, 1861.
Ilenry P. Taylor, adjutant ; enlisted as private ; promoted Ist sergeant : to 1st heu- tenat Co. D) December 19, 1861: detached A. D.C. to Gen. Paul December 10, 1562; promoted adjutant April 1, 1863.
De Witt C. Van Slyck, surgeon ; mustered June 11, 1861.
The others of the field staff may be mentioned as follows:
Seth French, assistant surgeon; mustered June 11. 1861 ; promoted surgeon and transferred to 21st Infantry.
Benjamin F. Goodrich; assistant surgeon ; mustered May 1, 1863.
Samuel L. Merrill, chaplain ; mustered June 15, 1861. James B. Carpenter, assistant surgeon ; resigned Jan. 13, 1863.
Alexander llull, quartermaster; mustered July S, 1861.
campaigns can attest. The nucleus of Co. A of the 35th was the old Black river corps, an inde- pendent military organization of Watertown, and the "crack " company of the region. The Black river corps, however, was the outgrowth of the still older Citizens corps, an organization of similar character. Of the latter Cel. William C. Brown was commander, but resigning, was succeeded by Capt. Potter who changed the company's form of drill and tactics, and under whom the name was also changed to Black river corps. All the men of the old company did not enlist in Co. A, but those who did constituted what was perhaps the finest appearing and most soldierly body of men sent out from northern New York during the war.

On July 11, 1862, fully organized and fairly well equipped with arms furnished by the state, the 35th broke camp at Elmira and proceeded at once by rail to Washington, where it camped on Meridian Hill, join- ing the vast army of brave and willing but inexperienced soldiers there in the defenses of the capital. On the 24th the regiment camped on Arlington Heights, where during the next two months many changes were made among the commissioned officers, and from which point the men were engaged in pioneer and construction work, building forts and leveling forests. At the same time the command became prepared for the severe service they were soon afterward called upon to per- form. Late in September the regiment took a position at Taylor's Tavern and continued construction and picket duty for the succeeding five months, but during this time (Aug. 21, 1861), a small detachment had a part in the skirmish at Hall's Hill, Va.
At that time the 35th formed a part of Hunter's brigade, army of the Potomac: Oct. 15, 1861, it was attached to Wadsworth's brigade, McDowell's division, A. of P. : from March 13, 1862, it was in the 3d (Patrick's) brigade, 3d (King's) division, Ist corps: from May, 1862, in the 2d brigade, King's division, department of the Rappahannock ; from June, 26, 1862, in the 3d brigade, Ist division, 3d corps, army of Virginia; from Sept. 12, 1862, same division, same corps. A. of P .; from January, 1863, in provost guard brigade; and from April, 1863, was at Acquia Creek. The regiment left for Elmira in the latter part of May, 1863, and in that city (June 5) was discharged and mustered out of service, However, during the period of brigade, division and corps changes above noted, the 35th experienced many vicissitudes of fortune, participated in several severe battles and skirmishes, and lost a total of 100 men, of whom five died in the hands of the enemy. During all this service the men of the 35th never once faltered in action nor turned their backs to the enemy in battle. The period of its serv- ice at the front was comparatively brief, but during the time the regi- ment took part in twelve engagements, and when discharged brought back the flags given the companies when organized; on none of which
147

was there spot or blemish. But all the men did not return, and some of them are still sleeping on southern battlefields, sacrifices to the honor and integrity of the nation. Still, the best evidence of the serv- ices of the regiment is shown in the list of engagements in which it participated, viz:
1861-llall's Hill, Va., Aug. 22. 1862-Gen. Pope's campaign, Aug. 16 Sept. 2, Rappahannock River, Aug. 21; Sulphur Springs, Aug. 26; near Gainesville, Aug. 28; Groveton, Aug. 29; second Bull Run, Aug. 30; Fairfax Court House, Aug. 31, near Fairfax C. H., Sept. 4; South Mountain, Md., Sept. 144; Antietam, Sept. 17; Fredericksburg, Va., Dec. 11-15.
Fifty-ninth Infantry (Veteran) .- The State organized this regiment (Union Guards) October 19, 1861, at East New York, by consolidating organizations recruited originally under authority from the war depart- ment. The strength of the command was taken from New York city, but in Co. B were men from Jefferson and Lewis counties, New York city and Kings county. The local contribution was exceedingly small, hardly more than a "corporal's guard," yet a passing allusion to it must be made. The regiment left the state Nov. 23, 1861, and served in the defenses of the capital until the next spring. From Malvern Hill, Aug. 5, 1862, to the final surrender at Appomattox, in April, 1865, it engaged in many of the most serious and disastrous battles of the war, losing an aggregate of 211 men, of whom 64 died in the hands of the enemy. So far as the records disclose this county was not rep- resented by any commissioned officer in the 59th.
Ninety-fourth Infantry (Veteran) .- In some respects the 94th was one of the most notable commands recruited in Jefferson county during the period of the war. The work of raising the regiment was begun in October, 1861, under the direction of Col. Walter B. Camp of Sackets Harbor, and so rapidly indeed did the towns respond to the call for men that in less than three months the companies were all full and ready for service. As is well known, the 94th was organized at Sackets llarbor, and was the first of the several volunteer regiments to be rendezvoused at the famous government military post called Madison barracks. It cannot be said that any one town contributed a single full company to the formation of the 94th, for at that particular time there appeared to be a determination on the part of nearly all the young and hardy men of the towns to enlist in the three years' service, and the call for recruits for this regiment opened the way for them.
The regiment was mustered into service for three years, Jan. 6, 1862,

and almost at once acquired the names of "Bell Rifles," the " Bell Jefferson Rifles," and also the " Sackets Harbor regiment," the latter undoubtedly from the fact that it was organized at that place, and also from the fact that the village mentioned was the home of Col. Camp, through whose energetic efforts the organization was so quickly ac- complished. On March 17, 1863, the regiment, on account of decima- tion in its ranks, was consolidated into five companies, A, B, C, D) and E, and received the 105th Vols. as its companies F, G, H, I and K. On Aug. 10. 1864, because of further decimations, about 100 men of the 97th were transferred to the 94th. At the expiration of its term of enlistment the men entitled thereto were discharged, and the regi- ment retained in service. The field and staff officers were as follows:
Henry K. Viele, colonel; resigned May 2, 1962. Adrian R. Root, colonel; mus- tered out with regiment. Calvin Littlefield, lieutenant colonel; resigned Nov. 1, 1862. John A.
