Three commissioners that had been appointed by the South Carolina convention "to treat with the United States " repaired to Washington, and in obedience to their instructions demanded that Major Anderson should be ordered back to Fort Moultrie, and in case of refusal that the forts in Charleston harbor should be uncondi- tionally evacuated. About this time the government offices, forts, etc., were possessed by the State troops, who were supplied with arms and ammunition from the arsenal

An attempt was made by the government to revictual and reinforce Fort Sumter, and for that purpose the steamer "Star of the West " was sent in January, 1861, with two hundred men, provisions, ammunition, etc. She was fired on from Morris Island, was struck by several shot and compelled to return without landing her troops and cargo.

April 12th, 1861, at 4 A. M., the bombardment of Fort Sumter was commenced from the batteries of Fort Moultrie, Sullivan's Island and elsewhere. The rebel

forces were under command of General Beauregard, who · demanded the surrender of the fort. Major Anderson replied that he would only surrender when his supplies were exhausted. The cannonading was kept up with spirit on both sides. The result was the surrender of the fort on the 13th, and on the 14th Major Anderson and his command left on the steamer "Isabel " for New York.

After the attack on Fort Sumter it was feared that the confederate troops would march at once on Washington, and all the available forces were so disposed as to afford the best protection to the capital possible with the meagre number of troops available. Measures were immediately taken to raise troops in several States, and thousands of volunteers at once offered their services. President Lincoln promptly issued his proclamation and call for 75,000 troops for three months, and stated that they would first be used to " repossess the forts, places and property which had been seized from the Union." The proclamation also called a special session of Congress for the next 4th of July, to do whatever might be deemed necessary for the public safety. Another proclamation, declaring a blockade, was soon issued.

To this call for volunteers the people of the loyal States responded with the utmost alacrity. Only two days after Governor Andrew, of Massachusetts, issued orders calling for troops, two regiments were on their way to Washington. In every city and almost every village in the loyal North meetings were held, large sums of money were pledged for the support of the families of volunteers, regiments were raised and sent forward, and a degree of patriotic feeling was aroused the existence of which had by some been doubted.

On the 29th of April the President called for 40,000 volunteers to serve for three years, and 25,000 regulars for five years' service. In his message to Congress, which convened in special session in July, he recommended the passage of a law authorizing the raising of 400,000 men and placing $400,000,000 at the disposal of the govern- ment, in order to make this contest a short and decisive one. During the nine days of the session acts were passed to legalize the past action of the President, to authorize the calling out of 500,000 volunteers, to ap- propriate some $266,000,000 for the prosecution of the war, and to confiscate property used for insurrectionary purposes.

At the breaking out of the war hardly any one antici- pated a struggle of beyond two or three months; but instead of the short, decisive war that was at first antici- pated the contest was prolonged through four years, with an expenditure of life and treasure unparalleled in the history of similar wars. During this time the Union forces experienced alternate successes and reverses till the decisive triumphs of Grant and Sheridan, the resist - less march of Sherman to the sea, and the complete exhaustion of the enemy's resources, brought the con- summation for which the friends of the Union had so long labored and prayed. The tension at which the feel- ings of the friends of humanity had been held during

four years was relaxed, and the world breathed free again.

In these counties, as in all parts of the country, the departure of the first company of volunteers was an occasion of peculiar interest. It was the first time in the history of the country that the national ex- istence had been threatened, and the patriotic feel- ings of every loyal citizen were roused into intense activity. It was the first general call which had been made upon the present generation for volunteers to serve in the field, and of course the first occasion on which the people had been called to bid adieu to fathers, sons or brothers, who took their lives in their hands for the de- fense of their country. They experienced a higher pride in the patriotism of their kindred and friends, and a more poignant grief at parting than they felt on similar occasions afterwards; for the acuteness of these feelings was to some extent worn away by frequent exercise, and after the first departure less of idle curiosity was felt.

The brave volunteers of Luzerne, Lackawanna and Wyoming counties who left the comforts of their homes, their social and domestic pleasures, and who severed for the time the ties which linked them to their families and friends, to rally for the defense of the institutions under which they had been permitted to enjoy these comforts, pleasures and affections; to face the stern realities of grim visaged war, to endure the hardships and privations of the field, to inhale the pestilential emanations from southern swamps, to languish in sickness and pain on pallets, " with no hand of kindred to smooth their lone pillows,"

and, too often, to find solitary graves where neither mother nor sister, wife nor children could come to drop affection's tear, deserve a more minute history than the limits of this work will permit. They constituted parts of organizations the balance of which came from other regions, and their histories are inseparably conected with those of these organizations.

When the proclamation of the President was issued calling for 75,000 troops to defend the national capital and suppress the rebellion that had thus been inaugu- rated, the patriotism of the people in Luzerne county found vent otherwise than in words. Several military companies at once offered their services to the govern- ment. The Wyoming Light Dragoons, the Wyoming Yagers (a Germany company), the Jackson Rifles (a company of Irishmen) and the White Haven Yagers were among the earliest to depart in response to the call. The recruiting of other companies for future exigencies was immediately commenced, and it was at once evident that, whatever had been the previous differences of opinion among the people in this country, when the time for action came patriotism triumphed over every other feeling; and here as elsewhere in the loyal North people of all parties vied with each other in their efforts to pro- mote measures for the defense of the country in its hour of peril.

The first war meeting was held at the court-house in Wilkes-Barre, on Friday, April 26th, 1861. At this meeting Hon. H. B. Wright presided, and patriotic

FIRST ENLISTMENTS FOR THE CIVIL WAR.

speeches were made by men of all previous shades of political opinion. Large sums were pledged for the care of the families of volunteers. A noteworthy feature of the patriotic feeling which existed in this county, as else- where, was seen in the fact that those who sought by addresses and other means to "bring public sentiment up," as they termed it, soon found that they had mistaken their mission; that public sentiment was leading them; that the patriotism of the masses was in advance of that of their self-constituted leaders.

Here as elsewhere the first burst of patriotism after the attack on Fort Sumter overshadowed every other feel- ing, and it was confidently hoped that past differences of opinion would not be revived to become sources of em- barrassment in the time of the country's peril. Here as elsewhere, however, this hope was not realized. Syni- pathy with the enemies of the country manifested itself among a few after a time, under various disguises. A profound veneration for the constitution, and an active fear lest some of its provisions should be violated in prosecuting the war for the preservation of the Union, was usually professed by those whose patriotism was not stronger than their party prejudice. By reason of numercial inferiority, however, these people were com- paratively impotent in Luzerne county.

From a diary kept by Captain James B. Harding the following facts relative to the organization of the first company from Wyoming county in the war of the Re- bellion are gleaned:

It will be remembered that at that time no railroad or telegraph lines passed through Wyoming county, and news was not received here as early as at places where these facilities existed. Preparations for the formation of a company were commenced by Mr. Harding on the 19th, and at a war meeting held at the court-house in Tunk- hannock on the evening of the 20th twenty men were enlisted. On the evening of the 22nd another war meet- ing was held and more men were recruited, and on the 24th drilling commenced.

Recruiting and drilling continued till the 27th, when the company was nearly full. On this day the men were drawn up in front of the court-house, where they were addressed by A. K. Peckham and George S. Fulton; and by the former, in behalf of the ladies of Tunkhannock and Eaton, presented with a flag. Of this company James B. Harding was chosen captain, John Deckover first lieutenant, and H. E. Tiffany second lieutenant.

Returns of the organization of this company were for- warded to Harrisburg by Levi H. Stevens, then inspector of the . sixteenth division of Pennsylvania militia, and daily drilling was continued.

On the 4th of May news was received that the com- pany could not be accepted for nine months' service as had been expected, but that an enlistment for three years or during the war would be the only terms of acceptance. When this alternative was presented about twenty-five men, with Captain Harding, decided to enlist as required. These united with a part of a company in Factoryville, and the consolidated company chose Captain Harding

for their commander, O. N. Bailey first lieutenant, and D. N. Matthewson second lieutenant.

On the evening of May 8th the company left Factory- ville for Harrisburg, via Scranton, where they tarried till the morning of the 9th. On their arrival at Sunbury the railroad company refused to take them farther, and they refused to leave the cars, which were uncoupled and left standing on the track. During the night of the 9th they were quartered in the court-house and fed by the ladies of Sunbury. On the roth orders to go forward were received and transportation provided. The com- pany became a part of the 41st regiment, the history of which is given elsewhere.

Meetings were from time to time held in various parts of the county for raising volunteers, and the histories of the different regiments include the lists of volunteers from this county, as well as Luzerne and Lackawanna. The patriotic spirit of the citizens of the county prompted them to make every effort in their power to sustain the country in its hour of trial. The county, by its commis- sioners, paid to each volunteer for nine months' service $25, and to each who went for three years $50. The commissioners also expended money under an act of the Legislature for the support of needy families of soldiers in the army.

Truth compels the statement that there were in some portions of the county manifestations of a very disloyal feeling, and even forcible resistance to the enrollment was in one instance contemplated. The strong loyal feelings which prevailed in other parts of the county overbore the disloyalty of these localities, and prevented the disgrace of an armed demonstration in favor of the enemies of the country.

The loyal women here as elsewhere did their part, through their aid societies and otherwise, to furnish such comforts for the sick and wounded, who languished in the field or in distant hospitals, as under the circum- stances the government was unable to provide.

CHAPTER XV.

LUZERNE IN THE CIVIL WAR-THE 8TH, IITH AND 15TH REGIMENTS OF THREE-MONTHS' MEN.

F the 8th regiment, which was organized for three months' service, companies B, C, D, E, F, G and H were recruited in Luzerne county. A company of cavalry at Wilkes- Barre, of which Captains Hoyt and Bris- bane had been commanders, was filled by re- cruits and became Company C of the regiment. Company F had been an artillery company of the same city, under command of Captain Emley, who be- came colonel of the regiment. Company G had been known as the Wyoming Yagers, which, together with a militia company from Pittston and additional recruits,

constituted this company. The other companies were made up wholly of recruits.

The companies proceeded at once to camp Curtin, where the regiment was organized on the 22nd of April, 1861, seven days after the President's proclamation call- ing for 75,000 men was issued. On the day of its organi- zation the regiment was ordered to the vicinity of Cham- bersburg, where it was attached to the 3d brigade, Ist division. June 7th it went to Greenville, and soon afterward to the vicinity of Williamsport, where it was posted to guard the forts of the Potomac. While here Lieutenant Colonel Bowman crossed the river alone to reconnoitre, and was made prisoner by rebel scouts. Soon after the Union forces advanced into Virginia. Two companies of this regiment were detailed as an escort for Captain Doubleday's battery on its march to Martinsburg. On the 6th of July the regiment joined the brigade at Martinsburg ; on the 17th it participated in a flank movement toward Charleston, and was sta- tioned at Keyes Ford during the night of the 20th. It returned about this time, via Harper's Ferry and Hagers- town, to Harrisburg, where it was disbanded.

The field and staff officers of the regiment were :- A. H. Emley, Wilkes-Barre, colonel ; Samuel Bowman, Wilkes-Barre, lieutenant colonel ; Joseph Phillips, Pitts- ton, major ; Joseph Wright, Wilkes-Barre, adjutant ; Butler Dilley, quartermaster ; Benjamin H. Throop, sur- geon ; H. Carey Parry, assistant-surgeon ; T. P. Hunt, chaplain.

Of the companies composing the 8th, B was recruited at Moscow, Lackawanna county, and mustered in on the 23d of April, 1861 ; C and D were recruited at Wilkes- Barre and mustered April 22nd; E and H were recruited at Scranton and mustered April 23d ; and F and G were recruited at Wilkes-Barre and mustered in, the first April 2 Ist and the second April 23d.
