The Hon. Alexander W. Acheson handed me the following paper, which throws much light upon the foregoing faet, and is worthy of being recorded, being indorsed in these words : Subscription of the citizens of Washington to equip a company of volunteers, to enable them to meet the enemy.
We, the subscribers, do promise to pay the sums annexed to our respec- tive names for the purpose of equipping such of the volunteers now about to march on a tour of duty as are unprepared for the expedition. Witness our hands at Washington, October 31st, 1814.

On the 8th of January, 1815, under General Andrew Jackson, the last battle was fought with the English nation at New Orleans, by which a victory of the most unparalleled brillianey and import- ance was achieved. It is unnecessary to enlarge upon its conse- quences; suffice it to say, however, that the most important commer- eial portal of our country was preserved from the rude grasp of a foreign power, and the fruits of the industry of the soil preserved to its owners by the American eagle, the ensign of liberty triumphing over the British lion.
Time would fail me, as well as the patience of my readers would become exhausted, were I to recount and recapitulate the battles in which the officers and soldiers of Washington County have been engaged since the organization of this county; I shall, therefore, leave this interesting question to the student of history to consult other general historical works, and give the names and present ages of the survivors of the war of 1812 residing in Washington County in 1870.

TEXAS.
The SEVENTH military event in which this county was engaged took place on September 6th, 1836, when Texas struggled to be free and become a component part of the United States. The address, written on the occasion by Thomas Jefferson Morgan, Esq., of this place, and editor of a paper called " Our Country," speaks for itself, giving all the reasons why we should assist Texas to gain her independence. It is in these words :-
TO ALL PATRIOTIC AND ENTERPRISING MEN.
EMIGRANTS FOR TEXAS.
To Rendezvous at Washington, Pa., on 6th September, 1836.
THE DESCENDANTS OF THE REVOLUTIONARY HEROES too well appreciate the blessings of FREEDOM to fail in sympathizing with nations struggling for INDE- PENDENCE. Greece asserted her rights, and the sons and daughters of our happy republic vied with one another in sustaining the cause of liberty upon the classic soil of Athens and of Sparta. Bleeding Poland sought to dis- enthral herself from the servile grasp of Russia's autocrat, and whilst France and England calmly gazed upon the scene of slaughter, permitting interest to subvert the heaven-born principles of justice and humanity, the people of the United States were again found actively engaged in contri- buting to the aid and succoring the cause of the chivalric and patriotic Pole. The plains upon which Sobieski fought and Kosciusko bled, are yet the haunts of the oppressor ; but do not their exiled heroes, their matrons, and their virgins, supplicate at the throne of the Great Eternal for the preser- vation of the liberties of our beloved Columbia ?
FREEDOM'S call once more summons us to action. Humanity beckons, philanthropy beseeches, duty commands us to hasten to the rescue of our fellow countrymen ! Not to go beyond seas ; not to rally around the stand- ard of strangers in a distant land, but we are called upon by all that is honorable, all that is sacred, all that is noble, to fly to the succor of our fellow-citizens and avenge the slaughter of our butchered brethren.
The causes which produced the present Texan struggle for independence are too familiar to the citizens of the United States to require a recapitula- tion. Suffice it to say that the people of this country were invited to colonize certain districts of land in the Republic of Mexico. Our citizens were promised laws and a constitution similar to our own. This invitation
298
HISTORY OF WASHINGTON COUNTY.
upon the part of the Mexican government being accepted, thousands of emigrants from the United States poured into Texas. The Mexicans, becom- ing jealous of their rapidly increasing strength, sought to circumscribe the energies of the Texans by the enaction of tyrannical and unwarrantable laws, equally incompatible with liberty, justice, and humanity. The Texans, upon demanding a redress of their grievances, were treated with insult, and their commissioners cast into a dungeon. But it is unnecessary to follow the course of events which have enkindled the spark of freedom in the bosoms of the colonists, and lit the flame of revolution upon the hills and upon the plains of Texas. The damning treachery and demoniae thirst for blood exhibited by Santa Anna and his coadjutors in deeds of hellish cruelty, are ample evidence of their utter destitution of all those qualifications which should be the characteristics of the governors of a free people.
The Texans are emphatically "blood of our blood and bone of our bone;" they confidently cast their eyes to the United States for assistance in their struggle for independence. Shall they be disappointed ? Shall the blood of Fannin, Travis, Bowie, Crockett, and a host of other martyrs in the cause of freedom have been shed in vain ? Look to yon fearful pile upon which are stretched the yet struggling forms of those victims of Mexican duplicity and worse than savage barbarity ! See, the torch is applied, and now the awful deafening shriek ensues. Anon, the curling smoke ascends towards heaven, and bones and ashes are the sad remnants of our country- men ! Who does not cry aloud for vengeance ? Who does not burn with impatience to chastise these Mexican bloodhounds ? If there be any one, let him eschew the appellation of American citizen ! Let him flee the land where liberty dwells, and seek a more congenial asylum within the walls of Constantinople or St. Petersburg.
Countrymen ! I know full well it is unnecessary to mention any other inducement which is extended to volunteers, than that of a desire to estab- lish free and liberal principles upon the ruins of tyranny, fanaticism, and bloodshed, but for the sake of information I shall subjoin
THE TERMS UPON WHICH VOLUNTEERS ENTER THE ARMY OF TEXAS.
1st. Each volunteer serving three months shall receive 320 acres of land. 2d. Each volunteer serving for six months shall receive 640 acres of land.
3d. Each volunteer serving during the war and establishing himself in the country, shall receive 2110 acres of land if a single man, and if a married man he shall receive 5240 acres of land.
In addition to these munificent bounties in land, emigrants serving in the army, both privates and officers, shall receive the same pay, rations, and clothing allowed by the United States.
History does not furnish so wide and fertile a field for enterprise as ever having been presented to the view of any people. Those individuals who have no other aim in this life than the mere accumulation of riches, where will they have so favorable an opportunity to realize their hopes as is now offered upon the plains of Texas ? If wealth then be your sole desire, go to Texas, the fairest of a thousand lands.
Countrymen ! well do I realize the motives which alone will impel you to vigorous and speedy action. Well do I know that the men whom I address set a higher value upon one moment of virtuous liberty than upon the massive piles of Persia's fabled treasure.
The undersigned has been authorized to recruit 280 volunteers, and in accordance with this authority I now call upon the freemen of Western Penn- sylvania, and of the surrounding districts of Ohio and Virginia, and upon

all patriots wherever may be their habitation to join me in my undertaking. It is my desire that all volunteers should rendezvous at Washington upon the 6th of September, or as speedily afterwards as practicable. Each indi- vidual should be well supplied with necessary clothing of a substantial cha- racter, particularly socks and shoes or boots with heavy soles. No one need be under the least apprehension of danger owing to the change of climate, the season of the year at which we shall reach Texas will be peculiarly favorable to emigrants. Any further information upon the subject can be obtained by addressing the subscriber (post paid), at this place.
Rally 1 fellow-countrymen, rally ! Thousands of our citizens from the south and from the west are pouring into Texas ; some of our greatest and best men are to be found among the number; will you be backward when the cause of Freedom is at hazard ? No! I know you better! You will prove true to your ancestors, true to yourselves, and true to posterity ! Come on, come on ! Liberty calls you to her standard, the spirits of our de- parted heroes beckon you onward ! Come on, come on ! Riches, honor, happiness await you ! On! on !! The free of every clime will pour forth to the god of battles their fervent supplications for your success, and un- born millions will bless your memories ! T. JEFFERSON MORGAN.
Washington, Pa., Aug. 18, 1836.
Meetings were held through different parts of Washington County, and committees appointed to solicit contributions in aid of the Texan emi- grants.

HISTORY OF WASHINGTON COUNTY.
June 21, 1837, Capt. Thomas J. Morgan, promoted to the office of Briga- dier General, with the rank and emolution of a major of cavalry.
George W. Morgan was promoted from 2d Lieutenant to Ist Lieutenant of Artillery.
THE MEXICAN, OR EIGHTH WAR in which Washington County was engaged.
It is an established fact that the Mexican war was brought on by the annexation of Texas to the United States, as its minister at that time protested against it as an act of aggression, and as des- poiling her of a considerable portion of her territory. The minister on presenting his protest demanded his passport.
In March, 1846, President Polk directed Gen. Z. Taylor to con- centrate his forces on the left bank of the Del Norte, which formed the southwestern boundary of Texas, and was therefore an exposed frontier. The Mexican general, on hearing of the arrival of our army, held a conference with the United States officers, which resulted in our officers refusing to abandon the country and their position. The Mexican General issued an appeal to the American army to abandon the standard of their country, and not fight in so inglorious a cause. The appeal had no effect either upon the officers or soldiers, and from this time we may date the commencement of hostilities. The first cause happened on April 21, 1846, when the body of Col. Cross was found, having been robbed and murdered by Mexican soldiers.
History speaks in glowing terms of the battles of Palo Alto-of the surrender of Monterey, of Buena Vista; the siege of Vera Cruz, Cerro Gordo, Contreras, Cherubusco, Molino del Rey, Che- pultepec, Tampico, and finally the surrender of the city of Mexico to Gen. Winfield Scott and his soldiers, on September 14, 1846.
Although Washington County, like many other counties, did not participate largely by sending companies, battalions, or regiments ; yet the name of Col. Norton MeGiffin, who left his mother's home to risk life, fame, and fortune by doing a soldier's duty, will be ever held in remembrance by our citizens. He volunteered his services, was accepted, and proved himself worthy of the position tendered to and accepted by him.
Col. McGiffin served both as captain and licut .- colonel of the 12th regiment in the rebellion of 1861.
James Phillips, of Washington, went to the Mexican war, and proved himself a brave and gallant soldier, as also did James Mac- key, Henry Woods, and Jack Lowrey, who were the only imme- diate representatives of Washington County.
THE REBELLION OF 1861, OR NINTH WAR in which Washington County was engaged.
The soldiers of Washington County, emulating the patriotic deeds of their fathers, resolved to battle against the gigantic rebellion which attempted to destroy the best of governments. The history of their prowess on the battle-field is fresh in the hearts of the

living, while memory sheds a tear to the brave ones who fell in defence of the Constitution. To preserve, therefore, the names of the living and the dead-soldiers of Washington County-who fought, bled, and died, I shall not only give their names, but the company in which they marched, as well as the casualties which happened to each on the battle-field.
Before proceeding to this personal interesting history, it were well to remark that thirteen Southern States declared themselves absolved from the government of the United States by each passing ordinances of secession. They severally proclaimed themselves as free and independent, with the right to levy war, conclude peace, negotiate treaties, and to do all acts whatever, that rightly apper- tain to free and independent States. These ordinances of secession were passed by the several States in the following order :-
1. South Carolina, on December 20, 1860, by a unanimous vote of one hundred and sixty-nine members. On April 3, 1861, the State Convention ratified the Confederate Constitution by a vote of one hundred and fourteen to sixteen.
2. Mississippi, on January 9, 1861, passed the ordinance with fifteen dissenting votes, and on March 30, 1861, ratified the Confederate Constitution by a vote of seventy-eight to seven.
3. Florida, on January 12, 1861, by a vote of sixty-two to seven.
4. Alabama, on January 11, 1861, by a vote of sixty-one to thirty- nine.
5. Georgia, on January 19, 1861, by a vote of two hundred and eight to eighty-nine.
6. Louisiana, on January 26, 1861, by a vote of one hundred and thirteen to seventeen.
The vote of the people was, for secession, 20,448, against 17,296.
7. Texas, on February 1, 1861, subject to a vote of the people, to be held on 23d day of February, and to take effect on March 4, 1861, if approved.
8. Virginia, on April 17, 1861, by a vote of sixty to fifty-three, repealed the ratification of the Constitution of the United States, subject to a vote of the people in the following May, and on the 6th of May Virginia was admitted as a member of the Southern Con- federacy.
9. Arkansas, on May 6, 1861, by a vote of sixty-nine to one, and was admitted to the Southern Confederacy May 18, 1861.
10. Tennessee, on February 19, 1861, voted against secession, but on May 6, 1861, it was proclaimed out of the Union by the legislature, which, however, gave the people the liberty to vote on the 24th of June following; the vote stood for separation from the Government of the United States, 104,913; against, 47,238.
11. North Carolina, on May 20, 1861, passed an ordinance of secession, also ratifying the Constitution of the Confederate States.
12. Missouri, on August 5, 1861, through Gov. C. F. Jackson, pub- lished a Declaration of Independence, and on the 21st of the same
302

month this State was admitted into the Southern Confederacy on certain conditions, but a convention emanating from the people was held on July 31st, and Hamilton R. Gamble was inaugurated as Governor on August 1, 1861. In his position as Governor he was promised the aid and co-operation of the General Government.
13. Kentucky, on November 20, 1861, adopted a Declaration of In- dependence and ordinance of separation, and on December 14, 1861, elected, by its legislative council, delegates to the Southern Con- federacy, and on December 16, 1861, the Senators from Kentucky were sworn in, the State having been admitted. Kentucky was entitled to twelve representatives.
The following seven States, by their representatives, held a con- vention at Montgomery, Alabama, on February 4, 1861, and adopted a constitution for the Confederate States of America, viz., Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, and South Carolina. On February 9, Jefferson Davis was elected President, and Alexander H. Stephens Vice-President, who were inaugurated on February 18th. This Congress continued in session until May 21, and adjourned to meet at Richmond July 20. At the July session Virginia sent thirteen delegates, who were admitted. The meeting of the first session under its constitution was held February 18, 1862, the following States being represented : Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia.
In connection with the Virginia question I may add that on June 17, 1861, the convention emanating from the people of Western Virginia unanimously voted that by the action of the State of Vir- ginia they were independent of and declared themselves as the State of West Virginia. On June 20, the people elected a governor, and on June 26 the President of the United States recognized the State of West Virginia.
With these preliminary remarks we shall proceed to the history of the rebellion. The firing of the first gun was on April 12, 1861, at 4.30 A. M., when an attack was made npon Fort Sumter from Fort Moultrie, the batteries on Mount Pleasant, Cummings' Point, and the floating batteries, numbering seventeen mortars and thirty large guns for shot, mostly columbiads. April 13, 1861, at 12.55 P. M., the flag of Fort Sumter was hauled down and the fort was surrendered on honorable terms by Major Robert Anderson, although he did not evacuate it until the 15th. President Lincoln on this day called for 75,000 men to serve for three months to suppress the rebellion, of which soldiers Pennsylvania's quota was fourteen regi- ments, each regiment to consist of seven hundred and eighty officers and men; yet Pennsylvania increased her quota to twenty-five regi- ments, and so patriotic were the feelings of the people that thirty addi- tional regiments were refused. These twenty-five regiments, consist- ing of twenty-nine thousand, nine hundred and seventy-nine soldiers, after honorably serving their full term, were mustered out of service.
