HISTORY OF HUNTINGDON COUNTY.
"1st. That the undivided feeling of the people of this county, without respect to party, is an unyielding fidelity to the Constitution, the Union, and all laws passed in con- formity with the one or for the protection and perpetuity of the other.
"2nd. That we declare, not our willingness to concede, but our readiness, by all lawful means, to demand and en- force for our brethren of the South, every right and privilege granted and secured to them by the Constitution and laws of the United States; that while we declare the intention that their rights and ours shall be thus equally secured by the Government, we also declare that their wrongs and ours should be, and can be, equally redressed by resort to the same power.
" 3rd. It is our ardent desire that the differences now ex- isting shall be adjusted without leading to unnatural and disastrous strife ; that they should be made the subject of dispassionate discussion among brethren, with a mutual de- sire to settle them justly to all parties ; not the occasion of bloody contest, which will embitter but never remove them ; and feeling thus, we request our Senators and Representa- tives in Congress and the State Legislature to give expres- sion to this sentiment, believed to be that not of the county alone but of the masses of this State, by advocating and voting for any measure calculated to bring about a peaceable and honorable adjustment of pending difficulties ; avoiding here the presentation of any particular project about which individuals would differ, but declaring that in this crisis mere party feeling should be buried by both constituents and representatives, and every patriotic effort made that can with honor be made, to preserve the Union in peace, and to call back those whom we still claim as citizens of a common country, front rebellion to allegiance, and then, if the olive branch of peace be rejected, and war proffered in its stead, we will stand around the flag of our whole country as firmly as our rocks and mountains stand around us.
"4th. While everything consistent with honor should be done to avert the calamity of civil war and restore fra-
187
HISTORY OF HUNTINGDON COUNTY.
ternal relations between the States, duty to the Constitu- tion and the laws, which we have declared our readiness to support and submit to, requires that the people of every State should support and submit to them. We cannot, therefore, characterize the recent attacks upon the property and flag of the United States as anything else than armed treason, and while and whenever it continues to manifest itself, we cordially approve and will support the action of the President, his Cabinet and Lieut. Gen. Scott, in continu- ing to make every preparation necessary either to prevent or meet it.
"5th. That Major Robert Anderson is entitled to the thanks of his country for his prudent and patriotic conduct in occupying Fort Sumpter.
"6. That we extend our cordial greeting to all friends of the Union, and of peaceable settlement in the Southern States; that we assure them of the prevalence of the feeling in the North that the rights and equality secured by the Constitution and the laws shall be observed and enforced by all the powers of the Government, sustained in good faith by the people; that we ask them to stand with us, and pledge ourselves to stand by them in every honorable effort to preserve that Government under which both the North and the South have grown and prospered."
Although the day for argument and entreaty, as it then seemed, had not passed, yet the time for the expression of a firm determination to preserve the Union had come. It was not long until the latter was the only sentiment which the crisis demanded. A series of meetings of the people of the county was held in Huntingdon on the 17th, 18th, 19th, 20th and 22nd of April, 1861, at which the resolutions were briefer, and if possible, more expressive :
"Resolved, that we pledge our all in men and means to sus- tain our National Administration in every effort to maintain the integrity of the Union and defend its flag.
" Resolved, that it is no longer necessary to appeal to every patriot to forget every thought and every word calculated to excite partisan feeling or to wound party affections. The
188

past is forgotten-common dangers unite us. We are one people-let no feeling of madness divide us.
"Resolved, that our sympathies and our prayers shall go with and be offered for those of our fellow citizens who take up arms to defend our country's honor ; and those dependent upon them whom they leave amongst us shall have our faithful care.
"Resolved, that the County Commissioners be requested to raise the American flag from the cupola of our court house."
The war had then commenced ; Fort Sumpter had been fired upon; the President had issued his proclamation calling out the militia of the several states to the aggregate number of seventy five thousand men, and the military companies were tendering their services and being accepted.
The appeal of the President "to all loyal citizens to favor, facilitate and aid this effort to maintain the honor, the integ- rity, and the existence of our national Union, and the per- petuity of popular government, and to redress the wrongs long enough endured," nowhere met with a more ready and hearty response than in Huntingdon county. In fact, he had had the assurance of the support of the people of the county in the resolutions of January 17th, 1861, in which they promised to stand around the flag of their whole country as firmly as their rocks and mountains stood around them, and cordially approved of every measure taken to meet and prevent armed treason. How faithfully they stood by these promises, and how well they gave to the President and the nation their support, would be attested by the death roll of those who fell in the fearful struggle which was then commencing, could it be here given.
Among the first companies to offer themselves were those from Huntingdon county. But no notification of the accep- tance of any of them was received until Friday, April, 19th, 1861. The next day, Saturday, the 20th, the " Standing Stone Guards," of Huntingdon, took their departure for Harris- burg. They were placed in the Fifth Pennsylvania regi- ment, of which R. Bruce Petriken was appointed Major, and

The company contained over ninety men, but the max- imum number then allowed to a company being but seventy men, that number was mustered into service, and the balance returned home.
The departure of the Guards was the occasion of the most unbounded enthusiasm among the people of Huntingdon. At an early hour in the day, the sound of martial music was heard on the streets, the citizens turned out en masse, and the most intense excitement prevailed. The company paraded at noon, and, headed by the Excelsior Band, marched

to the Diamond, where a beautiful flag was presented to them on behalf of the band, by J. Sewell Stewart, Esq. It was received by J. D. Campbell, Lieutenant of the com- pany. After these ceremonies, the company participated in the raising of a number of flags in different parts of the town, and then marched to the court house.
In the evening the people met to take leave of the soldiers. For a description of the scenes that then occurred, we are indebted to the Journal and American of April 24th, 1861 :
" The crowd (at the court house) was immense-men, women and children, almost our entire population, crowded the room, the yard, the pavement and the street. The first speaker was the Rev. S. H. Reid, of the German Reformed Church, who addressed the volunteers in a glorious speech, full of patriotic, soul-stirring sentiment, and well-worthy the heart that gave utterance to them. He was followed by Rev. G. W. Zahnizer, of the Presbyterian Chuch. Mr. Zahnizer spoke as a man whose heart beats in unison with the music of the Union, and when he pointed to the American flag, and appealed to the noble band of bold hearts around him, to return only when the dishonor heaped upon it shall be wiped out, and it again floats in triumph in every section of our country, the deep response which followed attested that " Victory or Death " is the watchword of every patriot in Huntingdon county. Rev. S. L. M. Couser, of the Metho- dist Church, next spoke. His remarks caused a thrill of patriotic feeling to agitate every heart, which found vent in such terrific cheers that made the very rafters crack. And when he seized the stars and stripes, and waving them over his head, declared his readiness to shoulder his musket in defense of that glorious emblem of liberty, the shouts that went up were deafening. Rev. Mr. Bueglass, of the Baptist Church, next addressed the meeting. We cannot do justice to his or his predecessors' remarks. His address was patri- otic, deep and heartfelt, and stirred the blood in every heart. He concluded by stating that he had offered his services to his country, and would shortly leave for the scene of con- flict. At the close of his remarks, each soldier was furnished
191
HISTORY OF HUNTINGDON COUNTY.
with a pocket testament, the gift of the ladies of the borough. The line was then formed, and the soldiers, after taking fare- well of their friends and relatives, marched to the depot, followed by the entire populace. The scene there baffles description. Mothers, wives and sisters weeping over their friends who thus willingly offer to lay down their lives in defense of their flag. At eleven o'clock the train started and our gallant boys were on their way to the seat of war."
On the 23d of the same month the "Union Guards" of Petersburg, commanded by Capt. Joseph Johnson, went to Harrisburg, and were assigned to the Fifteenth regiment. This and the Standing Stone Guards were the only compa- nies from Huntingdon county that could be accepted under the President's first call, the quota of the State having been filled. Their term of enlistment was three months. Six other companies had been organized in the county, and were awaiting orders to march. They were accepted upon the second and succeeding requisitions.
The scenes attending the departure of the first company from Huntingdon were not an isolated instance of the en- thusiasm of the people, but were repeated during the war in spirit, if not in exact form, in every locality of the coun- ty. There is not a township that did not send its company, or parts of one or more; not a community that did not send the best of its citizens ; scarcely a household that did not send a member, and many of them all or nearly all, that were capable of bearing arms. The cause that thus aroused the courage and patriotism of those whose duty it became to engage in the conflict, and to whom its defense was a work of personal sacrifice and danger, also received the support and encouragement of that portion of the popu- lation whose place was not upon the field of battle. Men went without reluctance; women aided them in going. There were outpourings of the people to see them leaving. At the railroad stations greater crowds assembled than had ever been there before. They came from distant parts of the county to have a last look and to say a last inspiring word to the soldier who left his friends to face his country's foes.
192
HISTORY OF HUNTINGDON COUNTY.
The popular feeling was exhibited also by the display of the national colors in every portion of the county. As soon as a flag of proper dimensions could be obtained it was placed upon the cupola of the court-house. Six other large ban- ners floated over Penn street, in Huntingdon, between that building and Fifth street. The stars and stripes were un- furled from all public places, the Methodist church, the Cath- olic church, the public school-house and elsewhere. It is impossible to designate all the points from which they waved. Not only in Huntingdon was this the case, but from one end of the county to the other, they were equally conspicuous and numerous. So universally were they dis- played from private dwellings that the house without one seemed to deserve some suspicion. But there were few to be suspected.
In the welfare and comfort of the troops, whether in the field or in their journeys through the county, the people always manifested an active interest. At the beginning of the war, when troops were hurried to Washington city, for its defense, they left their homes unprovided with the food necessary during their trip by railroad, and were dependent upon the inhabitants along the route. On the arrival of trains at the towns and villages in Huntingdon county the entire population turned out, with baskets containing the substantial refreshments. A thousand soldiers were fur- nished with food at Huntingdon at one time.
Soldiers' aid societies were organized in every township, the officers of nearly all of which were ladies, and the con- tributions to which were generally made by the same sex. They sent to the front vegtables, fruits, berries, and nearly every production of the earth, prepared for use in every style ; lint, towels, bandages, sheets, clothing, and every article that could add to the comfort and alleviate the suf- ferings of the sick and wounded. We cannot estimate the influence of these efforts and of the moral sentiment mani- fested by the people, upon the final result.
The exact number of soldiers furnished during the war by Huntingdon county, will probably never be ascertained.
193
HISTORY OF HUNTINGDON COUNTY.
It might be supposed that such information could be furnish- ed by the Adjutant General's office, at Harrisburg, but on application there, it is stated that the records of that office "are filed in the order of companies and regiments and not in localities from which the men enlisted or were drafted." The data ought to exist somewhere, as it was no doubt made use of in determining the quotas of the county under thé different calls for troops.
The men did not all go with organized companies, but towards the latter part of the war, when recruiting became more difficult, were sent forward in squads and distributed to such commands as the interests of the service required. There were also many citizens of the county in companies from other counties, who were credited to the latter, and some of the Huntingdon county companies, especially after the first draft in September, 1863, had men in them who resided elsewhere. We might learn approximately, by a great deal of labor, the total number of enlistments in the county, and such a work should be undertaken while the offi- cers and men are yet living, as much of the information would have to be obtained by personal inquiry of them. A thorough history of our volunteers would make a volume of itself.
Before the draft of September, 1863, there had been eighteen companies organized in the county, of the strength of which we can form a very close estimate :
THREE MONTHS' MEN.
Two companies-77 men each . 154
THREE YEARS' MEN.
Twelve companies-average 75 men each 900
In companies from other counties . 125
In Easton's and Campbell's batteries. 30
In the regular army . 20
NINE MONTHS' MEN. 404
Four companies-101 men each .
Total . 1633
The drafted men and the enlistments during the eighteen months of the war after the first draft, would increase the number to over two thousand. N
