Gen. Lee having surrendered April 9th, these last were releas- ed. The last battle of the war was fought May 12, 1865, and the surrender of Kirby Smith, the last army organization, was on the 26th of May.


During the war there were for Pennsylvania two grand emer- gencies. The first in September, 1862, which was relieved by McClellan's victory at Antietam. At that time Sept. 11th, Gov- ernor Curtin called for 50,000 men, and Columbia county re- sponded by sending four companies, and Montour by two com- panies. The second emergency was in June 1863, on the 15th of which month the President called for 100,000 men. Of the num- ber required, Columbia county sent five companies and Montour two.


Many citizens of Columbia county, owing to larger local boun- ties, entered into organizations outside the county. Some of them I have been able to follow; doubtless however there are a number whose names and fate I have not discovered. Among the com- panies mustered originally in our county, there were quite possibly, in filling up the depletions of battle and sickness, some new recruits from other counties, though in nearly all cases officers detailed for the purpose came back here to fill the ranks with the neighbors and friends of the fallen or disabled heroes.


During the war, as is well known, great complaint was made that we, in Columbia county and in the Congressional district, had been unfairly dealt with by the enrolling officers. Strenuous efforts were made to have the number of enrolled men corrected. Little or no heed was paid to our complaints. After great trouble a re- vised enrollment was obtained and the justice of representations was manifested.

Enrollment in 13th District 31 Dec., 1864 11,286 Under 300,000 call, Quota 2,301

Quota should be


825


So that the War Department was attempting to draw from the district nearly three times as many men as we were honestly obliged to furnish. But there was neither redress nor abatement -- neither credit for the over plus already sent into the field, nor a reduction of the number to be furnished, when the cgregious outrage was certified to them. We stood powerless under military rule, and were only saved from still further injustice by the action of our Senator and Representative in Congress. For the past there was no redress, but in "An Act to amend the several acts enrolling and calling out the National forces," Mr. Buckalew in- troduced the following as the 13th Section :


"That where any revised enrollment in any Congressional or draft district, has been obtained or made prior to any actual draw- ing of names from the enrollment lists, the quota of such district may be adjusted and apportioned to such revised enrollment, in- stead of being applied to or based upon the enrollment as it may have stood before revision."


But notwithstanding the correction of the enrollment, and in spite of the Act of Congress, the War Department refused to do us justice, and drafted from the district one- third more men than they were entitled to call. The following letter from Hon. Mr Tracy will explain the action :


WASHINGTON, D. C., March 15, 1865.


JOHN G. FREEZE, EsQ -Dear Sir: The Provost Marshal Gen- eral of the U. S., after sending up an agent to investigate the en- rollment in our district, and receiving his report, has removed Capt. Manville, the Provost Marshal, and has ordered the draft to proceed upon the basis of an enrollment of 6,000 ; which is a re- duction of nearly one half from the enrollment before any adjust- ment, and must materially reduce our quota.


I am yours truly, H. W. TRACY


In the draft lists which we propose to print, many errors, dup- licates, and names of men then dead will be found. But for all these we were required to furnish our quota; for the young and the old the maimed and the dead, Columbia county was held to answer.

ENROLLMENT OF COLUMBIA COUNTY.


We give two lists of enrollments. They give us the military strength of the county at the date they were taken. But they are both subject to the corrections mentioned above. They are both in 1862-one including minors and the other not. They constituted the basis of all our quotas and drafts : our quota in September, 1862, was 1447, of which we had in service 595.

EMERGENCY MEN 1862.


The second battle of Bull Run was fought under Gen. John Pope, August 30, 1862, and the enemy immediately after their victory began moving towards Pennsylvania. On the 4th of Sep- tember Gov. Curtin issued a proclamation calling on the people to prepare for defense. The rebel army was in Maryland by the 10th, and McClellan was called upon by the President, to head our shattered and discomfited troops. He met the enemy at South Mountain on the 14th of September, and drove him back through its passes; and following on, on the 16th and 17th fought the de- cisive battle of Antietam, which saved the State from invasion and bloodshed. In the meantime however, to prevent the threatened incursion, the militia of the State turned out en masse and on the 17th of September, there were under arms and moving toward the Southern border, about 50,000 men. Gen. McClellan thanked Gov. Curtin for his promptness in giving the moral support of the State to the Army of the Potomac in the great crisis. In this emergency Columbia county sent three companies and Montour county two, a fourth going from Columbia county on the 22nd of September.

EMERGENCY MEN 1863.


The emergency of 1862 ended with the defeat of the rebels by McClellan at Antietam in September, 1862. But in December 1862 our troops were beaten at Fredericksburg under Burnsides ; and in May, 1863, still more disastrously under Hooker, at Chan- cellorsville ; and in the month of June, 1863 the rebels prepared to repeat their invasion of Pennsylvania. On the 15th of June a rebel brigade entered Chambersburg, and other forces followed. On the 12th of June Gov. Curtin had issued his proclamation, and


248


HISTORY OF COLUMBIA COUNTY.


by the 17th a large force of men was encamped in and around Harrisburg. From that date to the last of the month, there was a mustering of forces and a gathering of troops and material on both sides, and on the first days of July, 1863, the tendency of the rebel army was towards Gettysburg. And there on the 1st, 2d and 3d days of July, the fierce and contested and much discussed battle of Gettysburg was fought. The rebels were beaten, and before the middle of the month of July, had recrossed the Poto- mac, and the "emergency" was over.


In this call for men the following persons went from Columbia and Montour. They were mustered into service in June and dis- charged in August.
