When the war was declared, political feeling ran very high, and each party was ready and willing to injure the opposite. Every opportunity was eagerly embraced and every provocation possible given. So, after the lapse of more than seventy years it is impossible to arrive at the facts in all cases. While no battles were fought here, there were several cases of trouble through smuggling operations. One case to be mentioned was the shooting of Beach by Dennett, an officer of customs. The account at that time published is as

follows: In September, of 1813, Samuel Beach of Canaan, Vt., wishing to repair a mill-dam in Canada, obtained a permit from the governor to take over a yoke of oxen to work on the dam. He accordingly sent a man forward with his team. The oxen were taken from him by Lieut. John Dennett. Mr. Beach, when endeavoring to obtain his oxen, was shot dead by Dennett. Dennett and his associates were put in Guildhall jail, from which Dennett escaped the following spring. The next August he was retaken, but not until mortally wounded by his pursuers. It appears that Dennett resisted, and was shot, while attempting to kill Mr. Morgan, by a Mr. Sperry, another of the pursuers.
It would not be strange, in these bitter times, if both parties were hasty in the discharge of their duty. That Beach was guilty of taking over the cattle. to sell, cannot be doubted.
John Hugh, of Maidstone, was appointed one of the deputy collectors of customs of Vermont, in 1811, and continued so until 1814, when his brother, Samuel Hugh, was forcibly taken from his own house, in Canaan, by a band of ruffians from Canada, and carried a prisoner out of the United States. The circumstances connected with this outrage were as follows : There were parties from Canada engaged in smuggling through property, chiefly cattle, from the States, and it is to be regretted that many of our citizens were then, as now, found who were anxious to give "aid and comfort to the enemy." It was a duty of the officers of customs to put a stop to this contraband business, and they did so, but not without the loss of several lives.
Hearing that a large drove of cattle was being started through by the smugglers, Samuel Hugh gathered together a number of men and pursued them. Among the number were Ephraim Mahurin, Eleazer Slocum, William McAllister, - Cogswell, and several others-all armed. The party did not succeed in overtaking the drove of cattle until they got over the line and had been delivered to the purchasers, who were also in force, expecting a. conflict. Samuel Hugh was a powerful man, over six feet high and weighed over two hundred pounds. Two men by the name of Morrill, also powerful men, attacked him at once, and having knocked one of them down, the other was in the very act of snapping a loaded gun at Hugh's breast before he- could use his own weapon again, when some one from the American party, more expert, fired his rifle and Morrill fell dead. As several guns were dis- charged at the same time, it was never known to whom Hugh was indebted for his life.
In the melee another of the Canadian party was wounded. His name was. also Morrill, and a brother to the one who was killed. There was also a third man by the same name, a nephew of the others. It was he who made the first attack on Hugh as before mentioned. He had previously discharged his gun at him loaded with ball and buck shot. The charge passed through Mr. Hugh's clothing, but did no injury to his person. But about four weeks after the affair, in the dead of night, Samuel Hugh's house was surrounded
II3
WAR OF 1812.
by an armed party from Canada, together with their friends and sympathizers in the States, amounting to nearly one hundred persons. He had just moved into a new house. The first intimation of their presence was the breaking in of almost every window. The family, consisting of Mrs. Hugh and a number of small children, were thrown into great alarm and distress, and clung around their natural protector. Seeing guns leveled at him from every direction, one of which was snapped at him but missed fire, he managed to free his person from his wife and children to prevent their being shot, for he had no doubt they came to murder him. This was unquestionably the ob- ject of some of them, but they were prevented by the more considerate and less guilty portion of the party.
Immediately all the stock and whatever property they could lay their hands on was taken and hurried off. Mr. Hugh himself was placed on a horse with his feet tied under the horse, and armed men walked on each side to guard him. This was in extreme cold weather in November, 1814. The news spread like wild fire, and soon as a large party could be collected, (which was not until the next day at noon), to rescue Mr. Hugh, they started in full pursuit. But before they got through the woods they found that they were too far behind to overtake the enemy, and returned.
Mr. Hugh was first taken to Stanstead. Here he sent across the line to David Hopkinson, his brother-in-law, who resided in Derby. On Mr. Hop- kinson's appearance he was arrested himself on some pretext, and kept closely guarded by keepers three days, and could render no assistance. From Stan- stead Mr. Hugh was carried to Montreal, thrown into prison and heavily loaded with irons. Here Morrill Magoon-afterwards notorious for his coun- terfeiting and other crimes, for which he was executed-was his keeper. During his stay here, Magoon intimated to him that for a certain sum he would secure his escape. This sum was subsequently raised and sent on, but before it came it was decided that Mr. Hugh could not be tried at Mon- treal, but that he must be sent to Three Rivers. At the last named place he was tried, and on their failing to prove the homicide, he was convicted by the court of some minor offense, and sentenced to be branded and impris- oned for three months. This conviction was to show the petty spleen the courts of Great Britain had against our government.
Again Mr. Hugh was loaded with chains and confined in a dark, loath- some cell. His sufferings from vermin and filth, with fare that Christians would have hardly offered their lowest brutes, soon reduced Mr. Hugh to a mere skeleton compared with what he was before entering a British prison. In addition to this, all manner of abuse and indignities were heaped upon him. Soon after peace was declared, his friends got up petitions which were forwarded to the governor of Vermont, and he procured what official papers were necessary and authorized Seth Cushman, of Guildhall, to go to Canada and present them to the governor general of that province. This had the effect to set Mr. Hugh at liberty, who returned to his family, having been

imprisoned upwards of one year. The legislature of Vermont granted to his- wife, Patty Hugh, $1,000.
During the same year a smuggler of some notoriety purchased forty head of cattle in Caledonia county, and started them toward the Canada line, in Canaan. As the principal highway at that time was up the Connecticut river valley, it was there the custom officers were on the lookout. When within a mile of the line, Custom Officer Beckwith, of St. Johnsbury, with a posse of men, suddenly deprived him of them and headed them towards Cal- edonia county. He arrived at Lunenburgh at night, and put up at Judge Gates's hotel, and the cattle were turned into a back lot, with twenty men to watch them. At midnight came the smuggler with forty men to retake the cattle. A lieutenant of the United States army, acting as recruiting officer, was at Concord, about ten miles away, with twenty recruits. A message was at once sent for him, and the towns-people were rallied. The loyal landlady, fearing there would be trouble with her guest, immediately dressed him in her "gown and bonnet," and throwing a shawl over her own head they walked through the crowd who were after him to Dr. Theron Webb's, where he was , secreted. They soon left searching for him, and scoured the farm in the darkness for the cattle.
The lieutenant and recruits arrived in sight at daylight, and saw so many men and heard so much noise that they loaded their guns and rode to the rescue. The owner had found his cattle and got them headed towards Lan- caster, and the towns-people had completely blocked the road. The officer now came forward and took command. Clubs were called into use in pelt- ing the cattle to drive them over each other. After pelting, "jawing" and. yelling awhile the cattle broke over the fence and ran for the woods. Some settled their politics by "wrestling," and the one that could "throw" was right ;. others by jawing ; and a little Frenchman took his opponent, a man of 180. pounds, astride his neck, run with him several rods, rolled him the "longest way" down a bank, and left his politics head down and heels up beside a stone wall. The owner, finding that it was of no use, threatened vengeance and retired. The officer took the cattle and the government sustained him.
WAR OF THE UNION.
For nearly half a century after the War of 1812, peace brooded over the green hills and fertile valleys of Vermont. Youths had grown to manhood and old age; the gray-haired grandsire, as he trotted the children upon his knee, rehearsed to them the tales they loved best to hear-tales of the deeds of the brave McDonough and "Old Ethan." Prosperity asserted itself in the hum of busy machinery, telling of the increase of manufacturing interests in the silver threads that were branching in all directions, proclaiming the route of the "iron horse " as it conveyed to prosperous marts the harvest surplus. The sun rose each morn on a prosperous, happy, contented people ;.

but alas ! as its rays gilded the Green Mountain summits on the morning of April 21, 1861, it awakened no answering smile in the hearts of the people. The first shot upon Sumpter had frightened away the angel Peace, and grim War asserted his rights. The hearts of the Green Mountain boys were again touched with the old fire of martial ardor ; the dreams of peace were forgotten ; naught was remembered but their insulted flag-the flag purchased by the blood of their fathers-to which they owed their homes and the plenty that surrounded them.
Side by side with her sister states, Vermont endured the weary marches and bore the brunt of battles, and side by side their sons sleep the long sleep -some 'neath the sun-kissed plains of the willful South, and some rocked in the bosom of the broad Atlantic, " held in the hollow of His hand." Others have been borne to rest among their kindred by sympathizing friends, who year by year, to muffled drum-beat, wend their way to their consecrated tombs to deck their graves with beautiful spring flowers-a national tribute to the memory of the gallant dead, 5,128 of whom Vermont sacrificed as her share towards the preservation of the Nation's unity, freed from the curse of slavery, so long a foul blot upon her fair fame. Vermont promptly filled every quota, and every dollar needed was furnished with alacrity. Of her treasure, $9,087,352.40 was expended in furnishing the 34,238 loyal sons and representatives who went out to fight the battles of their country, 5,022 of whom were discharged from the service with shattered constitutions, or maimed in body, to renew the peaceful avocations of life as circumstances would permit. The following complete roster of men who went from Caledonia and Essex counties as commissioned officers, and of those, who, enlisting in the ranks, were subsequently promoted to a commission, is compiled from the State Adjutant and Inspector-General's report of 1866, and from other sources. For convenience sake the names are arranged in alphabetical order, the dates referring to commissions, the date of muster being omited :-
