MISCELLANEOUS LIST.
Besides the companies of which mention has already been made, there were others containing Noble County men; but as they had but few representatives from this county the same classification is impracti- cable. When not otherwise desig- nated those included in the list were members of infantry regiments.

L THE HOSKINSVILLE REBELLION. L
The early part of the year 1863 was the gloomniest period of the war. Distrust and doubt filled the public mind; loss and suffering had long
attended the Federal armies, and many who at first had been confident of a speedy and triumphant victory for the I'nion cause, now began to waver and adopt the opinions of those favoring peace at any price. This sentiment was . strengthened and fostered by the busy tongues of ambitious, stay-at-home orators, who, in Ohio as elsewhere, sought to take advantage of the situation and pose as leaders of public opinion. In Ohio the year is memorable for its exciting political campaign, in which C. L. Vallandigham, whose public utterances had caused his arrest and banishment from the North, was one of the candidates for the office of governor; also for organized resistance to the govern- ment, which was attempted in three instances - in Noble, Montgomery and Holmes Counties. The arrest of Vallandigham in May 1863, in Day- ton, led to disturbances on account of which martial law was proclaimed in Montgomery County. The Holmes County outbreak was occasioned by an attempt to resist the draft. The Noble County "rebellion"-the only disgraceful blot upon the military record of the county-preceded all the other occurrences mentioned, taking place several weeks before the arrest of Vallandigham. The following account of the affair is gleaned from Whitelaw Reid's " Ohio in the War," the names of the par- ticipants in the rebellion being sup- pressed :
In February 1863, Flamen Ball, then United States district attorney for Southern Ohio, came into pos-

session of a letter written by a school-teacher in Iloskinsville to a private soldier in Company G, Seventy-eighth Ohio Volunteer In- fantry, in which he denounced the administration, expressed opposition to the war, and advised the soldier to desert. The advice was taken, and the deserter found refuge and concealment near Hoskinsville.
A deputy United States marshal and a corporal's guard from the One i IIundred and Fifteenth Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, were thereupon sent from Cincinnati with orders to arrest the deserter and his friend who had counseled de- sertion. This force returned with the report that they had found the men they sought under the pro- tection of nearly a hundred citizens of Hoskinsville and vicinity, armed with shot-guns, rifles and muskets, and regularly organized and officered. "The captain pleasantly proposed to the deputy United States marshal and squad that they surrender and be paroled as prisoners of the Southern Confederacy!"
March 16, Lieutenant-Colonel East- man, post commandant at Cincinnati. issued an order to Captain L. T, Ilake, to report with companies B and HI, of the One Hundred and . Fifteenth Ohio, with ten days' rations and forty rounds of ammu- nition, to United States Marshal A. C. Sands, to serve as his posse in making arrests in Noble County. They reached Cambridge on the evening of the 1sth, and were given all possible aid and information by the inhabitants. Leaving the rail- : - the teacher who had written the
road and marching across the coun- try toward Hoskinsville, they were informed while en route that the people were still in arms and deter- mined to continue their resistance. But on their arrival on the afternoon of the 20th, they found that the val- iant rebels had deserted the village and concealed themselves in the woods, leaving only a few frightened women and children to welcome the soldiers.
The expedition remained three days, making arrests and searching for those who had been concerned in the previous resistance to the deputy marshal. Moses D. Ilardy made an affidavit before United States Com- missioner Hallday giving the names of sixty-five of those participating in the rebellion. Leaving Hoskins- ville, the troops marched to Sharon, then to Caldwell, and thence to Point Pleasant, halting for the night and making arrests at each place. Ilav- ing thus covered the disaffected dis- trict, they returned to Cambridge, where they were welcomed at a pub- lic banquet. Subsequently thirty- five prisoners, thus arrested, were brought before the United States court in Cincinnati, presided over by Judges Swayne and Leavitt, and arraigned on indictment for obstruct- ing process. Nine of the accused pleaded guilty and were fined and imprisoned. Indictments for con- spiracy were found against ten of those concerned in the demonstra- tion, and three of them were con- victed, sentenced and fined $500 each. . The instigator of the trouble

letter which caused the soldier to desert-escaped, as did also many others, making their way to parts unknown.
"The Noble County Republican stated that at a meeting held by the men engaged in the protection of the deserter, resolutions had been passed, declaring, first, that they were in favor of the Union as it was, and the constitution as it is; second, that they would oppose all arbitrary ar- rests on the part of the Government ; third, opposition to the enforcement of the conscription act; fourth, rec- ommending the raising of money by contribution for the purchase of arms to enable them successfully to resist a draft, should another be ordered; fifth, the assassination of an obnoxious person.
" How these brave words ended has been told. Quiet was restored in the county, and the healthy influ- ence of the punishments inflicted was soon manifest in the tone of the com- munity."
There is no doubt that the news- paper accounts published at the time were full of error and exaggeration. The " rebellion" was magnified and its extent over-estimated, so much so, in fact, that even now many people in Noble County and elsewhere have very erroneous ideas concerning it. Mr. Reid's account of the affair is perhaps as correct as could be ex- pected.
One of those concerned in the so- called " rebellion," a reputable and prominent citizen of Noble Town- ship, states his knowledge of the af- fair as follows :
" T. W. Brown was not a school teacher, but a pupil at Hoskinsville. The letter which he wrote was to his cousin and never reached him. His cousin had reached home before the letter arrived at his address. The first alleged attempt at an arrest was at a spelling school at IIoskinsville. Brown was not there. The soldiers burst open the door and frightened those present who went home with reports that soldiers were in search of Brown, and that he would be killed if found. The next morning, in company with some of my neighbors I went to Hoskinsville. Arrived there, we found several men with guns. There was snow on the ground and they said they had taken their guns to shoot rabbits. More than half of those present had no guns. We waited around the stores and black- smith shop. A stranger rode through on horseback, going north. I did not see him halt or hear him speak to any one. This man afterwards proved to be the Deputy United States Mar- shal. While he was passing a small squad of soldiers -about five, as nearly as I can remember - were marching armed about three hun- dred yards distant, along the stream east of the town. Thus ended, so far as I know, the demonstration at this time. I knew of no organization or officers. The statement that there was an organization and a captain, and that they demanded a surrender to the Southern Confederacy, con- tains not a word of truth. The news- paper extract is likewise fictitious." Our informant also states that he can bring many other credible wit-
