About the middle of the year 1863 conscription was actually enforced in some of the Northern States. In New York it brought on a riot the like of which was uever known in that great city. In Delaware County extraordinary exertions had been made, and it was announced by those persons charged with the draft in this district that the quota had been filled ; but the authorities at Washington stating that there was an error of one hundred and eleven men, a draft was immediately made (on Wednesday, Juue 17th). A public meeting was called at Media on Friday, the 19th, when it was resolved to pay three hundred dollars county bounty for recruits, and the quota was filled. The people breathed more freely, but on Oct. 17, 1863, when President Lincoln called for three hun- dred thousand men for three years or the war, and on Jan. 5, 1864, a draft should be made to fill the remain- ing quota assigned to every locality in the Northern States, again the people were aroused to the occasion. On Saturday, December 19th, a meeting was held at Media to encourage volunteering and avoid the draft, when it was urged that the commissioners should ap- propriate a sum to pay sufficient bounties to induce men to volunteer. On Wednesday, Dec. 30, 1863, a
county meeting was held in the court-house at Media. John P. Crozer was chosen president and Samuel T. Walker vice-president, when it was decided to ask the commissioners to appropriate three hundred and fifty- two dollars bounty for every recruit, and petitions were prepared, which were given to committees of three in every township to obtain signatures of tax- payers obligating themselves to indemnify the com- missioners in so doing, and also asking the Legislature to enact a law to legalize the expenditure. The draft was again avoided.
One Hundred and Eighty-eighth Regiment (Three-Years' Service) .- This regiment was recruited out of the artillery early in 1864 as infantry, and assigned to the Eighteenth Corps, Third Division. It took part in the battle of Proctor's Creek on May 10, 1864, and on June 1st was engaged at Cold Harbor, where it, suffered heavily. On the 16th of June it was in the battle before Petersburg, and on the 28th of July it was part of the force which charged on Fort Harrison, which it captured and turned the guns of the fort on the retreating enemy. The same day it attacked Fort Gilmore, but was repulsed, the killed amounting to nearly sixty, and the wounded to upwards of one hundred. It was mustered out of service Dec. 14, 1865.

One Hundred and Ninety-seventh Regiment (Hundred-Days' Service) .- This regiment was re- cruited under the auspices of the Coal Exchange Association of Philadelphia, and was known as the
149
THE CIVIL WAR.
Third Coal Exchange Regiment. It was organized at Camp Cadwalader, July 22, 1864, with Capt. John Woodcock, of Delaware County, major. Shortly afterwards it was ordered to Mankin's Woods, near Baltimore, and instead of being sent to the front, as was hoped by the regiment (who were mostly veteran soldiers) would be done, it was ordered to Rock Island, Ill., where it was assigned to guarding camp for pris- oners of war. The number of prisoners-about nine thousand-was so great, and the duties required of the One Hundred and Ninety-seventh were so con- stant, that the service bore almost as heavily on the regiment as an active campaign, excepting casualties of battle. Immediately after the arrival of the regi- ment at Rock Island, Capt. Barton was appointed assistant provost marshal of the island, in which capacity he had immediate charge of the prisoners. The prison covered about forty acres, surrounded by a board fence ten feet high, on the outside of which was a trench about twelve feet wide, filled with water. The guard was mounted on an elevated platform on the outside of the fence, and within were barracks for the accommodation of the inmates. The prisoners of war were provided with good food and comfortable clothing, and, notwithstanding, deaths were frequently arising from melancholiness or home- sickness. On Nov. 11, 1864, the One Hundred and Ninety-seventhi was mustered out at Philadelphia.

One Hundred and Ninety-eighth Regiment (One- Year's Service) .- This regiment was recruited under the auspices of the Union League in Philadelphia in the summer of 1864, its ranks being filled in five weeks. On the morning of the 19th of September it was re- viewed before the League House and presented by that association with regimental colors, and immedi- ately proceeded to Petersburg, where it became part of the First Brigade, Fifth Division, of the First Corps of the Army of the Potomac. On the 30th of that month it took part in the battle of Peebles' Farm, and was scarcely formed in position when the enemy opened upon it a heavy artillery and mus- ketry fire, but it held its ground, and finally, in the charge, drove the Confederates from their first line of works. On October 2d it held its lines under a fierce attack and severe firing from the enemy. On Feb. 5, 1865, at the battle of Hatcher's Run, at three o'clock, the Second Brigade was being hard pressed, when Gen. Sickles ordered the One Hundred and Ninety- eighth to its relief, and at the double-quick it charged across an open field and fell upon Mahone's " fighting brigade." The enemy was driven back, but during the night the Confederates succeeded, by massing their troops, in capturing a part of the Union line. At the first alarm the One Hundred and Ninety- eighth delivered a volley and charged with the bay- onet. "The struggle for a time was hand to hand, muskets being clubbed and bayonets freely used." The enemy was finally driven back and the works re- gained. At the battle of Lewis' Farm, on March 29th, the One Hundred and Ninety-eighth encoun- tered the enemy near the old saw-mill, and across a clear field of a thousand yards this regiment and the One Hundred and Eighty-fourth New York, led by Sickles, charged the enemy's works, reserving its fire until near the fortification, when it delivered a close and effectual volley, driving the foe. The regiment's loss was terrific, it afterwards being learned that three of the best Confederate brigades had confronted the Union troops in that engagement. On the 31st it was in action at White Oak Swamp and at Five Forks. On April 1st, after the Union assault had failed, Gen. Chamberlain, who was in command of the division,
rode to Maj. Glenn, commanding the One Hundred and Ninety-eighth, and exclaimed, " Major, can you take those works and hold them?" The latter, turn- ing to his troops, inquired, "Boys, will you follow me?" and he dashed forward, followed by his men. Twice the color-bearer was shot down, but the stan- dard, caught up by another, was carried forward in the charge and planted on the enemy's works. Cham- berlain promoted Glenn on the field for this deed, but later in the day the latter was fatally wounded. This was its last battle, the regiment being mustered out of service at Arlington Heights on June 3, 1865.
