WAR OF 1812.
The yoke of the mother country having been thrown off, the American colonies rapidly advanced in progress. Vermont expanded into a free and independent State, and finally was annexed to the Union, March 4, 1791. In the meantime, the French nation, led by Napoleon Bonaparte, had arrived at the zenith of military glory, and was giving England great cause for fear and trembling. England, in turn, seeming to forget that her offspring had ar- rived at maturity and was quite able to protect its own institutions, continued her acts of tyranny. Looking upon herself as mistress of the ocean, during her wars with Napoleon, she utterly disregarded the rights of the United States as a neutral nation. Her cruisers would stop and search American vessels, and seize such able-bodied seamen as were needed, on the pretext that they were British subjects. An American frigate, not in condition to resist, having been subjected to this indignity almost within sight of an American port, after receiving several broadsides for denying the right of search, the Presi- dent issued a proclamation ordering all British ships-of-war to quit the waters of the United States. Congress also laid an embargo on American vessels, detaining them at home, but afterward substituted a non-intercourse act, prohibiting trade with Great Britain. All intercourse between this State and the people of Canada was prohibited, without permit from the Governor, under a penalty of $1,000 fine and imprisonment at hard labor in the State penitentiary for the term of seven years.
Notwithstanding all this, England persisted in her offensive course. All hopes of obtaining concessions on the impressment question from her were at length abandoned. George III., who was still on the throne, had become insane, and the men who managed affairs were as short-sighted as his ad- visers had been forty years before, whose folly had provoked the Revolution. Longer submission to their arrogant claims was deemed unworthy of a free nation, and war was formally declared by the United States, June 18, 1812.
The majority of the people of Vermont considered the declaration of war rash and imprudent, believing that the required issue could have been brought about by legislation ; but notwithstanding this feeling, the general assembly of the State passed the following resolution :-
"The constituted authorities of our country having declared war between the United States and Great Britain and her dependencies, it is our duty as citizens to support the measure ; otherwise we should identify ourselves with the enemy, with no other difference than that of locality. We therefore pledge ourselves to each other and to our government, that with our individ- ual exertions, our example and influence, we will support our government and country in the present contest, and rely on the great Arbiter of events for a favorable result."
Both Franklin and Grand Isle counties were well represented in this trouble, and sustained with honor the reputation of their State. The list of their soldiers during this war, so far as known, will be found incorporated

with the several town sketches, and to their pages we refer the reader for further mention of the part taken by the citizens of these counties in those stirring times.
In the summer of 1814, the British, having concentrated 14,000 men near the foot of Lake Champlain, undertook an invasion of the States, somewhat on the plan of Burgoyne in 1777. There had been skirmishing throughout the season ; but when in August most of the American troops were transferred to the Niagara frontier, Gen. Prevost improved the opportunity to march upon Plattsburgh. Here Gen. Macomb, in command of the Americans, had made all the preparation in his power for a vigorous defense ; but he had only 2,000 efficient men, and lacked ordnance, while his works were still incom- plete. Commodore McDonough had also strained every nerve to make ready for the British fleet, which was to act in conjunction with the army. His flagship was launched within forty days from the time that the trees used in its construction were standing in the forest. Despite all his exertions, how- ever, in the number of his vessels, guns, and men, he was inferior to the enemy.
The British army, having reached Plattsburgh, was there held in check by Macomb, who, strengthened by the brave militia of Vermont and New York, had taken a position on the south side of the Saranac river .. But the fate of the battle was to be decided on the water. On the 11th of September, the British flotilla drew near to Plattsburgh, and McDonough joined battle, after having on deck of his vessel invoked the blessing of God upon his cause. 'Two hours of terrible fighting resulted in victory for the Americans as signal as had been that of Perry on Lake Erie. The British commander, who had boasted that with his flag-ship alone he could whip the whole Yankee fleet, was killed, and his entire squadron struck. Thus ended the Battle of Platts- burgh Bay, one of the great naval engagements of the world.
The British commissioners, at first unreasonable, lowered their tone after the battle of Plattsburgh and the subsequent battle of Baltimore, and on the 24th of December, 1815, a treaty of peace was signed at Ghent, in Belgium, ending the war. Once more the Green Mountain Boys settled down to the peaceful avocations of life, to be aroused again not until many years after, when the terrible civil struggle of 1861, called them again into the field. Some of the old veterans still are living in the county, a remnant of the gallant ones who gave England her final lesson in Yankee pluck.
THE PATRIOT WAR.
The rebellion of the French population of Canada against the rule of the sovereign of England, in 1837-'39, was the cause of no ordinary excitement among the people along the northern frontier. The history of that abortive attempt at a revolution does not properly belong in this publication, and is mentioned only on account of the consequent excitement it occasioned here.

That the people of these counties should have regarded with indifference the struggles of a conquered race, however unpromising, to throw off a foreign domination and establish a government and institutions of their own, was not for a moment to be expected. In the early days of this rebellion, several gentlemen, having become subjects of suspicion to the officers of the govern- ment, and in danger of arrest, left their homes for a season and took up a temporary residence at St. Albans. Among these were R. S. M. Bouchette, a young man of high family connection, splendid abilities and fine personal appearance ; Dr. Cyril Cate, a young physician of influence and promise, and P. P. Demory, a respectable notary of St. Johns, with others of more or less distinction in their communities. In Swanton, which was made a kind of headquarters, the patriots, as they styled themselves, gathered to the number of two or three hundred. Two or three skirmishes occurred in Alburgh, Highgate, and other points, all of which tended to make the loyal people of Canada feel unfriendly to the harborers of their enemies. Many buildings were burned, it is supposed, by loyalists, along the line in Alburgh and High- gate, during the spring of 1839. Finding that affairs were assuming a threat- ening aspect, Brig .- Gen. Nason promptly repaired to the frontier and called out the militia to guard against these invasions. This silenced the matter, and the people finally settled down to their accustomed pursuits, and many doubtless regretted that they had expressed so much sympathy for a cause which turned out so disastrously.
THE WAR OF THE UNION.
After the war with Mexico, 1846-'48, the country enjoyed thirteen years of peace,-years of great improvement in the condition of Franklin and Grand Isle counties, a counterpart of the prosperity enjoyed by the whole State. Indeed, the war with Mexico had scarcely disturbed the even tenor of her way, as so few of her sons were engaged in the strife, the active scenes of which were so far removed. Except for display at celebrations, or as curi- osities, the old sword and musket were unseen. The "Green Mountain Boys " had passed away to join the spirits of their brave commanders, while their names were perpetuated alike in the annals of history and romance. Their children and grandchildren were enjoying the bounties of the verdant fields they had struggled so hard to win; but amid all the enervations of peace and plenty, the spirit and blood of such men as Allen, Baker, Stark, and Warner, yet coursed in their veins, ready to reveal its latent power, like the trained battle horse, at the first clash of arms.
The morning of April 12th, 1861, dawned bright and fair, yet dense with weight of woe that overspread the land. The fatal shot upon Sumpter had been fired, and for the first time in its young life, since first unfurled to the breeze o'er the decks of the " Ranger," proudly bearing its "emblem of per- petuity,"-the wreath of thirteen stars,-the flag of the Union had been desecrated.

The causes leading to this terrible civil war we need not repeat ; the re- sults are patent to every household in this broad land. To 'some, however, the word "results " has a peculiar significance. It recalls to the memory of the wife, the husband's face so kind and true; to the son and daughter, the loved lineaments of their sire ; and to the parent, the noble form of their bright and promising son, all of whom now are resting in the quiet church- yard, or, mayhap, whose bones are bleaching in the sand that drained their blood at the fearful carnage of Gettysburgh, Antietam, Fredericksburgh, or other fields where perished so many of our noble dead. But, ye wives, par- ents, brothers and sisters, the nation's honored dead o'er whose graves you weep, have left you a valuable legacy, a bequest in which none but you can share-the glory that surrounds their names !
Vermont's sons soon proved their " lineal descent from warlike men," and " The Green Mountain Boys " became again an honored title of the present, adding lustre to the fame which already clustered about it. Of this band, 34,238 were sent to fight the battles of their country, and $9.087,352.40 of Vermont's treasure were expended in the cause. But her greatest treasure was the 5, 128 noble souls she sacrificed upon the altar of freedom, while 5,022 loyal ones were returned to their homes with shattered constitutions, or maimed in body. Surely, a bountiful contribution towards the preserva- tion of our " Grand Republic."
These counties furnished their full quotas, both of men and means, and bore a most honorable part in all of the great war's honors and vicissitudes. During the first year, in 1861, no special inducements were offered for enlistments, save $7.00 per month paid by the State to the soldiers and their families, and then more soldiers volunteered than were required. In the summer and autumn of 1862, some towns paid small bounties, from $25.00 to $75.00 for three year's men. In 1863, town bounties ranged from $100.00 to $350.00 for three year's men, and in 1864, the highest point was reached, from $500.00 to $1,000.00. The town of Fairfield paid as high as $1,000.00 for one year's men in the summer of 1864, while the town of Montgomery paid nothing throughout the war, except to drafted men.
The following complete roster of men sent as commissioned officers, and of those, who, enlisting in the ranks, were subsequently promoted to a com- mission, is compiled from the Adjutant and Inspector-General's report of 1866, and from other sources. For convenience sake, the names are ar- ranged in alphabetical order, the dates referring to commissions, the date of muster being omitted :-
