WAR OF 1812-14.

On May 12, 1812, Governor Simon Snyder issued a proc- lamation or order, of which the following is the preface :

"The President of the United States having, in con- formity to an act of Congress, required a draft of fourteen

thousand men, as the quota of Pennsylvania, towards the detachment of one hundred thousand militia, the Governor is desirous, with promptitude, to perform all the duties which the Constitution and laws, principle and patriotism, assign him. He feels his high responsibility. He knows the ardent heart-warm zeal of the Pennsylvania militia, and his sensibilities are alive to the hovor of his country.

" The Revolution of America, that great and mighty struggle, which issued in giving to the United States that place among the powers of the earth to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitled them, had scarcely been consummated when the king over whom we had been tri- umphant began an invasion of our rights and property, which has almost uninterruptedly been continued, and yearly aggravated in kind and in degree. Remonstrance has followed remonstrance, but they ' have been only answered by repeated injury' and new outrage. Their promises, their written engagements, their plighted faich have all been wantonly violated. These wrongs have been so long endured that our motives have been mistaken, and our national character misrepresented. Our forbearance has been called cowardice ; our love of peace a slavish fear to encounter the dangers of war. We know that these representations have no foundation in truth ; but it is time that our enemies, that our friends, that the world should know we are not degenerated sons of gallant sires."

A draft was ordered of 14,000 militia, to be formed into two divisions, four brigades, and twenty-two regiments, but volunteer companies were to be accepted in lieu of the draft, if equal to the quota assigned to the regiment of en- rolled militia of which they were a part. The whole were to be in the proportions of artillery, 700; cavalry, 700; riflemen, 1400; infantry, 11,200. They were not to be considered as in actual service until directed to take the field.

It was not till the summer of 1814 that any serious alarm was felt for the safety of our State. Prior to this, however, various offers of services had been made to the Governor, the following being the first, perhaps, from Ches- ter County :

Letter from Capt. Ralston to Governor Snyder.

"CHESTER COUNTY, June 24, 1812. " To His Excellency Simon Snyder, Governor of Pennsylvania:

" At a crisis like the present, while wars and rumors of wars are abroad in the earth, and the two great belligerents continue to add io- sult to injury, it becomes the sons of Columbia te arouse from their apathy and stand forth in the defense of their country's rights,-rights which have been dearly bought by the blood and treasure of our fore- fathers. Although we deprecate war, with all its train of concomitant evile, yet we, as a troep or band of brothers, are ready to stand forth in the defense of our country's just rights, and de frankly tender our services as a volunteer corps, to be at yeur command fer the legal- ized time required by the militia law.

"With sentiments of due esteem, "I rest, affectionately yours, &c., " JAMES RALSTON, " Captain Cavalry."

NINETY-SEVENTH REGIMENT (EMERGENCY MEN).

This regiment was mustered in May 5, 1813, rendez- voused at New London Cross-Roads by order of Brig .- Gen. John W. Cunningham, went to Elkton, Md., and was discharged May 21, 1813.

HISTORY OF CHESTER COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA.

Officers .- Colonel, Andrew Thompson ; Lieutenant-Colonel, George W. Thompson; Major, Washington Parke; Paymaster, Robert Futhey ; Quartermaster, David Parke; Captains, Thomas Stew- art, John Holmes, Robert Ralston, John Wright, J. Skyles, James Alexander, William Stecle, John Naglee.

In Capt. Stewart's company, among the men from Chester County were Reazin Terry, Samuel Black, Robert Futhey, Archibald Thomas, George W. Parke, Peter Rambo, John Wallace, James Stewart, Israel Hamill, Levi McCormick, Silas Wilson, James Ramsey, Enos Hughes.

The State rolls' give no account of this company and regiment, and the fragmentary account here given is taken from the rolls and papers in possession of Robert E. Mon- aghan, Esq., of West Chester.

After the destruction of the Capitol at Washington it was very much feared that the British would attempt to enter Philadelphia, and extensive preparations were made to prevent such a disaster. The Governor of Pennsylvania issued the following order or proclamation :

" HARRISBURG, August 27, 1814.

"The recent destruction of the Capitol of the United States, the threatened and probable conflagration of the metropolis of a sister State, and the general threatening aspect of affairs warranting the opinion that an attack is meditated by the enemy on the shores of the Delaware, the Governor, to guard against surprise and to have ready an efficient force of frecmen to repel the enemy in case of such an event, orders and directs the militia generally within the counties of Philadelphia, "Bucks, Montgomery, Delaware, Chester, Lancaster, Dauphin, Lebanon, Berks, Schuylkill, Lehigh, Northampton, and Pike (in addition to those drafted and designated for the service of the United States, under orders of the 22d of July, who are already held subject to the orders of General Bloomfield), to be held in readi- ness to march at a moment's warning to such place as may be named in subsequent orders that will issue if the exigencies shall require. The several Brigade inspectors within their respective brigade bounds are commanded to execute promptly this order. The Generals and other officers are urged to assist in providing of equipments for the men. Those for whom arms cannot be found within the respective brigade bounds will, it is presumed, be furnished by the United States at the place of rendezvous. It is confidently hoped the ardor and love of country, which pervades the hearts of Pennsylvanians at the present alarming crisis, will induce many to form themselves into Volunteer Corps, and immediately march for Philadelphia. It is thus a proper spirit to resist an intolerant foe will be evinced and many difficulties obviated. The Governor promises himself the satisfaction of meeting there an host, nerved with resolution to live freemen or die in defense of their liberties and their country. . He will act with them in any capacity for which his talent shall fit him.

"SIMON SNYDER, " Governor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. "N. B. BOILEAU,

· " Aid-de-Camp."

Five thousand of the militia, by order of August 26th, were to rendezvous at York by the 6th of September. An encampment was formed at or near Kennet Square, called "Camp Bloomfield," prior to September 3d, and Col. Berry sent to that command ; but, being unpopular, the vol- unteers declined to serve under him. September 8th, the Governor had in contemplation the ordering of the militia from York to Philadelphia, but it appears that by the 21st they hrad mostly gone into camp near Baltimore. Septem- ber 10th, Governor Snyder reported about six hundred volunteers at Philadelphia, and that Gen. Bloomfield had suggested the formation of a camp at Marens Hook. Sept. 12th, Gen. Thomas Cadwalader was assigned to the com- mand of the militia encamped at Kennet Square, which were to be formed into one brigade, and the next day Gen.

Bloomfield issued an order directing all the volunteers and drafted men from Chester and neighboring counties to as- semble at Marcus Hook, completely equipped for the field. September 17th, Governor. Snyder ordered an election of officers, and the organization into regiments of the volunteer forces in and near Philadelphia on the 20th. Isaac Wayne, of Chester County, was elected colonel of the Second Regi- ment Volunteer Light Infantry, but, with the character- istic honor of his family and of his father, Gen. Anthony Wayne, in a letter of the 21st to the Governor, he declined to serve, " owing to previous and sacred engagements with volunteer cavalry," with whom he was honorably associated in that war. Early in October several thousand militia marched to " Camp Marens Hook," which was under the command of Maj .- Gen. Isaac Worrell, commanding the First Division of the Pennsylvania militia. This eamp was in the Fourth Military Distriet of the United States, under the command of Gen. Edward P. Gaines, of the United States army.

By act of March 29, 1813, the soldiers absent from their homes were allowed to vote at the times of general elec- tions, and the returns were forwarded to the respective county-seats of the voters. From these returns some in- formation has been obtained, but it is likely that some of the men were under age or did not eare to vote, and others in the same companies were not citizens of our county.

From the recently published State " Archives" we obtain the muster-rolls of several companies which were princi- pally from Chester County, and which are here given. About the 1st of December, 1814, the fear of an invasion having passed away, the camps were broken up and the men returned to their homes. The Advance Light Brigade, which had been first at Camp Bloomfield, and afterwards at Camp Dupont, entered Philadelphia Dec. 2, 1814, and were there mustered out of service.

The following general officers were from Chester County:

Maj .- Gen. Cromwell Pearce, of Third Division.

Maj .- Gen. James Steel, Third Division. Brig .- Gen. William Harris, Second Brigade, Third Division. Brig. Gen. John W. Cunningham, First Brigade, Third Division. Brigade Inspector James Stecl, promoted to brigadier-general. Brigade Inspector James Park, First Brigade, Third Division. James Ralston, captain of cavalry company encamped at Meadville.

Lieut .- Col. Louis Bache, of Bucks County, was pro- moted to colonel of the Second Regiment Volunteer In- fantry, of which William Darlington was major, Isaac Dar- lington adjutant, and Jolin Duer sergeant-major.

In the following rolls those whose residence is given; and those marked by an asterisk (*), voted at the election Oet. 11, 1814. Those not so indicated were either non- voters or not citizens of the county.
