It is but a conipond of well authenticated facts, reliable official documents and accurate statistics. Pos- sibly it may furnish some material for history hereafter. The chief design in view has been to show what was done by Indiana, during the war, in raising troeps, furnishing arms and supplies, atiording relief to the sick and distressed, and in many other ways cuutributing to the efficiency of the two hundred and eight thousand men sent to the field, and to the success of the measures of the government in suppressing the rebellion. If any excuse^ be needed for faulty composition, or incongruities of style and arrangement, it will be found in the statement that other laborious and exacting official duties luive allowed but little opportunity for producing the report in a form that might be more acceptable to professional literary taste, or more creditable to the ]iatriotic soldiers of Indiana, in whose interest it has been prepared. W. H. H. TERRELL, Adjutant General Indiana. Indianapolis, January 1, 1869. INDIANA IN THE WAR OF THE EEBELLION. ADJUTANT GENERAL'S REPORT- COiNDlTION OF THE STATE AT THE COMMENCEMENT OF THE WAR. At an early period, while Indiana wijs yet a ten-itory, a militia system was devised which gradually grew into one of considerable importance and efficiency. From the formation of the State Government to 1830, the militia w^as in high repute and af- forded the surest channel through which civil positions could be reached. In 1828, there were sixty-five regiments organized into eighteen brigades and seven divisions, with an aggregate of about forty thousand officers and men ; and in 1832, the date of the last returns, the aggregate number of officers and men reached fifty thousand nine hundred and thirteen, of which thirty-one were general officers, one hundred and ten general staff officers, five, hundred and sixty-six field officers, two thousand one hundred and fifty-four company officers, and fifty-one thousand and fifty-two non-commissioned officers, musicians, artificers and privates. The number of public arms distributed can not now be stated. Gradu- ally the interest, which had been felt in maintaining the militia^ weakened and failed to secure that sacrifice of time and means upon which ils success had necessarily depended, so that by the year 1834, the organization was entirely abandoned. What be- came of the arms, it is now impossible to tell, but judging from the experience of a later date, it is reasonable to presume that they were scattered and lost, or retained by the disbanded troops. Vol. 1.— 2. ADJUTANT GE.VERAL's REPORT. The military spirit of the people was not again aroused, al- though efforts were repeatedly made, until the dcelaralion of war against Mexico in 1846, when, under the administration of Gover- nor Whitcomb, three regiments of volunteers, (the First, Second and Third Indiana Infantry,) were raised and mustered into the service of the United States. Subsequently, in 1847, two addi- tional regiments, (the Fourth and Fifth,) were raised for the same service. On the 14th of June, 1852, an act was passed for the organiza- tion of the militia by Congressional Districts ; and on the 12th of February, 1855, an "Act concerning the organization of Voluntary Associations" was passed, providing for the formation of military companies by filing articles of association in like manner as pro- vided for organizing building, mining and manufacturing com- panies. These laws were, practically of no value, merely provid- ing, in a general way, for the organization of the militia without regulations sufficient to secure any successful result. Many com- missions were issued, in most cases for the mere purpose of con- ferring honorary military titles upon the recipients; but with the exception of probably a dozen companies, (most of which had but a brief existence,) formed in various parts of the State in 1859-60, aggregating about five hundred men, no organizations were made. At the regular session of the Legislature in 1861, Governor Lanr in his inaugural message alluded to this subject in the fol- lowing language : " The importance of a well organized and thoroughly drilled Militia, in the present critical condition of our National affairs, can not be over estimated; and I will nio.st heartily concur with you in any measure which you may devise for the purpose of giving greater efficiency to the present very defective militia laws of our State. A possible, (I hope not a probable) contingency may arise during the present session of the Legislature, which will make it necessary and proper for you to appropriate a sum sufficient to equip a portion of the Indiana Militia for the purpose of aiding in the prompt execution of the laws, and in the maintenance of the Government. If this contingency shall occur during your session, I doubt not that you will meet it in a spirit becoming freemen and patriots." In compliance with the Governors suggestion, a bill for the or- ganization of the militia on a new and more perfect system was introduced and passed the House of Representatives, but failing to pass the Senate, it did not become a law. At the out-breaking of the Rebellion, there w^ere perhaps less than five hundred stand of effective first class small arms in the THE CALL TO ARMS. 3 State, besides eight pieces of weather-worn and dismantled cannon and an unknown number of old flint-lock and altered-to-percussiot) mviskets, the most of which were scattered throughout various counties in the hands of private individuals and members of dis- banded companies of Militia. Under an act of the Legislature, passed March 5th, 1861, Governor Morton had taken steps to se- cure the return of all arms that could be found, and many were ihus secured to the State, but upon inspection they were ascer- tained to be useless except for '• guard mounting" and drill prac- tice about the camps. The report of the Treasurer of State for the year 1861, shows that there was on hand on the 11th day of February of that year, only the sum of $10,368 58 in actual cash, and this sum was made up principally of "trust funds," which could not be touched for general or military purposes. About the middle of March, 1861, Governor Morton, in view of the impending rebellion, visited Washington City and endeavored to procure from the general government a supply of arms for State troops. He found that the national armories under the treason- able maneuvers of Floyd, the then late Secretary of War, were almost empty; but after much effort he succeeded in obtaining an order for five thousand muskets. Before these were forwarded, however, actual hostilities were begun and Indiana was called upon to bear her "part of the burdens of war incident to the de- fense of the Nation and the suppression of the rebellion. With no militia force or system ; almost destitute of arms and muni- tions; the public treasury depleted to absolute emptiness; the work of preparation for the vigorous performance of her part in. the bloody drama was undertaken. THE CALL TO ARMS. THK THREE MONTHS' SERVICE. The news of the fall of Fort Sumter was confirmed, after sev-- eral days and nights of intense suspense, by a dispatch received at Indianapolis on Sunday morning, the 14th of April, 1861. On that day the loyal people of the United States abandoned the field ADJUTANT general's REPORT. of argument and ceased to discuss measures and plans for the peace- able restoration of the national authority in the revolted States, and with t^inguiar unanimity and determination, accepted the issue of war as the only means left to save and perpetuate the national ex- istence and the priceless liberties so long enjoyed. The unprepared condition of Indiana at this juncture has already been alluded to. She had no money, no arms or munitions, no or- ganized militia! The position of Governor Morton, who had barely entered upon the duties of his office, was surrounded with responsibilities and embaiTassments before unknown and seemingly almost insurmountable; but with a full understanding of the patri- lotic disposition of the people, and an unfaltering confidence in the justice of the cause in which he was about to engage, not a moment ■was lost in hesitation or distrust. The telegraph on the morning of the 15th bore the following message from the Governor to President Lincoln at Washington : " Executive Department of Indiana, "Indianapolis, April 15tli, 1861. " To Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States: " On behalf of the State of Indiana, I tender to you, for the defense of the Nation . and to uphold the authority of the Government, ten tJtoumnd men. (Signed,) " Oliver P. Morton, " Governor of Indiana." The same day the President issued his proclamation* calling forth the militia of the several States of the Union, to the aggregate number of seventy-five thousand, in order to suppress the rebellion and cause the laws to be duly executed. The quota of Indiana was sub-^equently fixed by the Secretary of War at six regiments ♦of infantry, or riflemen, comprising in officers and men, four thou- -sand six hundred and eighty-three, to serve for the period of three months, unless sooner discharged. On the 16th, the Governor issued a proclamationf briefly reciting the acts of rebellion which had brought on the war, and calling upon the loyal and patriotic men of the State to the number of six regiments, to organize them- •selves into military companies and forthwith report the same to the Adjutant General, in order that they might be speedily mustered into the service of the United Slates. The Honorable Leavis Wallace, of Crawfordsville, who had served in the Mexican war, and had, as a legislator and citizen, taken a deep interest in military *AvpfMiilix Due. No. 4. ■fAppcndix Doc. No. 120. THREE months' SERVICE. 5 affairs, was appointed Adjutant General. Colonel Thomas A. Morris, of Indianapolis, a graduate of the United States Military Academy, and an eminent citizen, was appointed Quartermaster General; and Isaiah Mansur, Esq., of Indianapolis, an experienced and prominent merchant, was appointed Commissary General. These appointments were made without solicitation and were in every way unexceptionable, and gave entire satisfaction to the people of the State. Indianapolis having been designated by the War Department as the place of redezvous for troops, the commodious Fair Grounds of the Indiana State Board .of Agriculture, adjoining the city, were secured for that purpose, and named, in honor of the Governor, " Camp Morton." Instructions were issued, in general orders by the Adjutant General for the formation of companies; the several military departments were speedily organized for business, and all available measures taken to fill the quota with the least possible delay. To meet the extraordinary condition of affairs, the Governor issued his call on the 19th of April to the members of the Legisla- ture, requiring them to convene in special session, at the Stato Capital, on the 24th. In the meantime, every class of community manifested the wild- est enthusiasm and most intense excitement; public meetings to facilitate the formation of companies, and to give expression to the sentiments of the people touching their duty in the pending crisis, were held in every city, town and neighborhood, and an ardent and unquenchable military spirit was at once aroused that bid fair to embrace in its sweep every able-bodied man in the State. The day after the call was made five hundred men were in camp, and the Governor, apprehensive (as was the whole country at the time) that an effort would be made by the rebels to take possession of the Federal Capital, proposed to send forward half a regiment, if required, although unable to furnish the necessary arms and equip- ments. Receiving no reply to this offer from the War Department, it was renewed on the day following and the number increased to one thousand men. By the 19th — three days after the call — there were twenty-four hundred men in camp, and arrivals continued by every train. So rapidly did volunteering proceed, in less than seven days more than twelve thousand men, or nearly three times the quota required, had been tendered. Contests to secure the 6 ADJUTANT GENEKAl/s HKPOUT. J acceptance of companies were earnest and frequent. The question was not " Who will go ? " but, " Who will be allowed to go ? " In many cases companies came forward without orders, or rather in defiance of orders, in the hope that they could be received, or that a second call would at once be made, and frequently their enlist- ment rolls contained twice, and even thrice, the number of names required. Hundreds who were unable to get into companies at home, came singly and in squads to the general rendezvous on their own responsibility, and, by combining with others in like con- dition, and with fragments from companies having a surplus, formed new companies and joined in the general clamor for acceptance. The response was as gratifying as it was universal and left no doubt as to the entire and lasting devotion of Indiana to the fortunes of the Union. Like the sunlight, the "war fever" permeated every locality. The " Old Flag" at once became sacred and was proudly displayed in every breeze from the highest peaks of churches, school houses and private dwellings. The presentation of a stand of na- tional colors by patriotic ladies to each company was rarely omitted, and, whenever |)racticable, brass bands were provided to escort them to the general caaip. Throughout the State the people acted in the most liberal and patriotic manner, providing the men with blankets, underclothing, and other necessary supplies which the authorities could not at the moment furnish. Families, suddenly deprived of husbands, fathers and brothers, upon whom they were dependent, were the recipients of all the assistance that abundant hands and free hearts could give. Several railroad companies, operating in the State, announced that they would carry all regularly enlisted volunteers free. Dona- tions of money, in munificent sums, were made by citizens and by the authorities of cities, towns and counties to aid the cause in various ways; and a number of banks and many wealthy capital- ists offered to advance large sums to the State until provision should be made by the Legislature, or the General Government, for equipping and providing for the troops. The eminent house of WiNSLOw, Lanier & Co., of New York, long and honorably iden- tified with the financial history of the State, tendered a loan of twenty-five thousand dollars, without stipulations as to interest or the time when it should be repaid. The Gcrieral Government, being unable to furnish clothing and equipments, required by the large force so suddenly brought into ADDITIONAL REGIMENTS TENDERED. 7 service, the State was compelled, through the Quartermaster- General, to become a purchaser of these supplies, in open market, at home. The duties of the Commissary General, in subsisting the troops, were equally as itnportant and responsible. Indeed, every department connected with the service was taxed to the utmost; the duties were novel, and the officers assigned to dis- charge them inexperienced and unskilled; yet better supplies were not furnished at any subsequent period during the war, or at so cheap a rate. On the 20th (Saturday), five days after the call, orders were issued for the organization of the regiments. Drs. John S. Bobbs and Alois D. Gall were appointed Medical Inspectors, and Major (now Major General) Thomas J. Wood, of the regular army, who had been specially detailed by the War Department for the pur- pose, proceeded to muster the troops into the service of the United States. On the same day, the Governor finding it impossible to restrain the tide of volunteers within the narrow limits of the three months' call, and being impressed with the necessity and importance, as well as to the General Government as to the State, of immediately placing an overwhelming force in active service, tendered to the Secretary of War six additional regiments, without conditions as to the term of service, U'ith the assurance that they would be organ- ized, if accepted, in six days. Communication with Washington City by telegraph being cut ofl", no response to this ofler was re- ceived. On the 23d, in a dispatch forwarded by special messenger, it was renewed, and the Governor at the same time expressed his determination to at once put the six additional regiments in camp and under discipline, and hold them subject, at least for a time, to the demand of the Government. In every quarter, and especially in the counties bordering on the Ohio river, the most serious fears were entertained that the State would be invaded by rebel bands, known to be organizing in Kentucky, the towns on the border plundered, and the country devastated. Every movement of the enemy indicated an early demonstration against the loyal people north of the Potomac and the Ohio. The determination of the Governor to anticipate a second call of the President by organizing and holding in readiness a well disciplined force, was therefore re- ceived with much satisfaction, particularly by the volunteers who had tendered their services, and were impatiently awaiting at their 8 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. homes orders to march. Public confidence was further encouraorod by the prompt measures set on foot by the Governor to procure, through agents dispatched to the eastern cities and to Canada, a supply of first-class arms for State use, and by the organization in many counties of companies of Home Guards, who were armed for the time being with squirrel-rifles and fowling-pieces gathered up in their respective neighborhoods. The Legislature met in extra session on the 24th of April, and in a spirit of entire harmony, proceeded to the important- duty of devising such measures as the critical state of the country seemed to demand. The Governor, in his special message,* after reviewing the history of the secession movement, and the part already per- formed by the State in compliance with the President's call, made the following recommendations: " In view of all the facts, it becomes the imperaiive duty of Indiana to make suitable preparations foi- the contest by providing ample supplies of men and money to insure the protection of the State and General Government in the prosecution of the war to a speedy and successful termination. I therefore recommend that one million of dollars be appropriated for tlie purchase of arms and munitions of war, and for the organization of such portion of the militia as may be deemed necessary for the emergency ; that a militia system be devised and enacted, looking chiefly to volunteers, which shall insure the greatest protection to the State and unity and efficiency of the force to be employed ; that a law be enacted defining and punish- ing treason against the State ; that a law be enacted suspending the collection of debts against those who may be actually employed in the military service of the State, or the United States ; that suitable provision be made by the issue of bonds of the State, or otherwise, for raising the money herein recommended to be appro- priated ; and that all necessary and proper legislation be had to protect the busi- ness, property and citizens of the State, under the circumstances in which they are placed." The Legislature, to replenish the treasury, promptly authorized a war loan of two millions of dollars, and made the following ap- propriations : — For general military purposes, owe million dollars; for the purchase of arms, five hundred thousand dollars ; for con- tingent military expenses, one hundred thousand dollars ; and for expenses of organizing and supporting the militia for two years, one hundred and forty thousand dollars. The following laws were also passed: To organize the Indiana militia; to provide for the em- ployment of six regiments of State troops; to provide for the ap- pointment of a State Paymaster; to authorize counties to appro- priate moneys for the protection and maintenance of the families of volunteers, for the purchase of arms and equipnients, and for ^Appeiiiiix JJdC.

WESTEKN VIROINIA CAMPAIGN. 9 raising and maintaining military companies; and to provide for the punishment of persons guilty of giving material aid and comfort to the enemies of this State, or of the United States, in a time of war. The three months' regiments were fully organized by the ap- pointment of field and staff officers on the 27th of April, and a thorough course of military training immediately instituted. In the Mexican war the State had five regiments, numbered from the first to the fifth inclusive ; to avoid historical confusion, therefore, the new regiments were numbered by beginning with the sixth, as follows : Sixth Regiment, Colonel Thomas T. Crittkndkn. Seventh Regiment, Colonel Ebenezer Pumont. Eighth Regiment, Colonel William P. Benton. Ninth Regiment, Colonel Robert H. Milroy. Tenth Regiment, Colonel Joseph J. Reynolds. Eleventh Regiment, Colonel Lewis Wallace. These regiments constituted the First Brigade, Indiana volun- teers, under the following brigade officers, appointed and commis- sioned by the Governor: Thomas A. Morris, Brigadier General; John Love, Major and Brigade Inspector; Milo S. Hascall, Captain and Aide-de-Camp. Subsequently Cyrus C. Hines was appointed Captain and Aid- de-Camp, and John A. Stein, First Lieutenant 10th Indiana Volunteers, was detailed as Acting Assistant Adjutant General, and added to the Brigade staff". The regiments composing General Morris' command, after being well armed and thoroughly equipped by the State, were ordered to Western Virsjinia. Sketches of their movements and services will be found accompanying the regimental rosters in the second volume of this report. At the expiration of their term of service, Major General Mc- Clellan addressed Governor Morton as follows : Headquarters Army op Occupation, \ West Virginia, Camp near Beverly Jaly 21, 1861. i Governor O. P. Morton, Indianapolis, Indiana : Governor — I have directed the three montlis* regiments from Indiana to move to Indianapolis, there to be mustered out and reorganized for three years' service. I can not permit them to return to you without again expressing my high appre- ciation of the distinguished valor and endurance of the Indiana troops, aad my 10 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. Lope that but a short time will elapse before I have the pleasure of knowinnf that they are again ready for the field. *«*»*» I am, very respectfully, your obedient servant, Geokge B. McClellan, Major General U. S. A. Brigadier General Morris also issued the following congratula- tory address: Headquarters First Brigade Indiana Volunteers,^ Indianapolis, July 29, 18G1. ) To the Officers and Soldiers of the Brigade: The term of service for this Brigade, in the army of the United States, having expired, and the relation sof officers and soldiers about to be dissolved, the Gen- eral, in relinquishing his command, deems this a fit occasion to express his entire approbation of the conduct of the Brigade, whether in camp, on the march, or on the field of battle. The General tenders to all, his thanks for the soldierly bearing, the cheerful performance of every duty, and the patient endurance of the priva- tions and fiitigues of campaign life, wliich all have so constantly exhibited. Called suddenly by the National Executive from the ease and luxuries of home life, to the defense of our Government, the officers and soldiers of this Brigade have vol- untarily submitted to the privations and restraints of military life; and, with the intelligence of free Americans, have acquired the arts of war as readily as they re- linquished their pursuits of peace. They have cheerfully endured the fatigue of long and dreary marches by day and night, through rain and storm; they have borne the exhaustion of hunger for the sake of their country. Their labor and suffering were not in vain. The foe they met and vanquished. They scattered the traitors from their secure entrenchments in the gorges of Laurel Hill, stripped of their munitions of war, to flee before the vengeance of patriots. Soldiers! jouhave now returned to the friends whose prayers went with you to the field of strife. They welcome you with pride and exultation. Your State and country acknowledge the value of your labors. May your future career be as your past has been, honorable to yourselves and serviceable to your country. The General in command, sensible of the great obliaation he is under to the members of his Staff, can not refrain from this public acknowledgement of the value of their services. To Brigade Major Love, he can but feebly express his obligations. To his ripe and practical judgment, his accurate knowledge of the duties of officers and soldiers, his unremitting labors to secure instruction and discipline, to his cheerful and valu- able counsel, the General is greatly Indebted. For the valuable services of Captain Benham, of the United States Englneei-s, not only in the appropriate duties of his station, but in his voluntary and arduous labors in the field, the General desires, in the name of the Brigade, to thank him. He has proved himself not only the skillful engineer, but competent to discharge any and every duty incident to military life. To Captain Hines, Aid-de-Camp, and to Acting Assistant Adjutant General Stein, the General tenders his acknowledgments for their ready and cheerful per- formance of the severe duties imposed upon them. By order of Brigadier General T. A. Morris. J. A. Stein, Acting Ass't Adj. Gen. SIX REGIMENTS — STATE TROOPS. 11 An account of the re-organization of the regiments composing the First Brigade, for three years' service, will be given under the head of "Raising and Organizing Volunteers" in this volume. SIX REGIMENTS— STATE TROOPS. TRANSFER TO THE UNITED STATES SERVICE. Upon the organization of the six regiments of three months' men, under the first call, so anxious and enthusiastic v/ere the people to serve the country, there remained in excess at the general rendez- .vous. Camp Morton, twenty-nine companies ; besides, sixty-eight companies had been raised in different parts of the State and ten- tered to the Governor for active service; and many more compa- nies would have been raised had the State authorities been able to give any assurance that they would be accepted. With a view, therefore, of meeting the wishes of the troops already enrolled, as well as to foster and encourage the exuberant spirit of loyalty and patriotism so generally and suddenly mani- fested by the people, and being fully satisfied that additional forces would soon be required and called for by the General Government, the Governor, on his own responsibility, and under the power vested in him as the Commander-in-Chief of the militia, determined to orsranize five regiments of twelve months' volunteers for the defense of the State, or for general service as the future might require, the regiments to be composed of the first fifty companies already raised and tendered. Instructions were also given to discharge from camp immediately all volunteers enlisted under the first call who were unwilling to enter the service of the State for one year. On the 6th of May the organization of companies sufficient for five regiments being about completed, the Legislature, then in extra session, passed an act authorizing and requiring the Governor to call into the service of the State six regiments of volunteer militia, (five being already raised,) to be composed of the companies that had been previously organized and reported to the Adjutant General and which had not been mustered into the service of the United States, the same to be received and mustered into the service of the State in the order in which they were organized and tendered, 12 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. providing, that if the companies so organized and tendered were not sufficient to complete the regiments, preference in the formation of the remaining companies should be given to counties which were not already represented by companies in the State or United States service. The act also contained the following provisions : The term of service to be twelve months; the regiments to be di- vided into cavalry, artillery and infantry, as the public service might demand, with the usual officers; the troops to be subject to the order of the Governor with power to transfer them to fill any future requisition made for forces on the State by the President of the United States; the regiments to constitute a brigade, and the Gov- ernor to appoint and commission a Brigadier General for the same ; the articles of war and the rules and regulations of the United States army to be observed, except that while in the service of the State the commissioned officers should only receive three-fourths the pay of officers of the same grade in the United States army; the Gov- ernor to have power, if in his judgement deemed advisable, to tem- porarily retire the force, or any part thereof, on half pay from active service, after they should have been sufficiently drilled and disci- plined, with authority at any time to recall the regiments to active duty, when required for the public safety. The act was approved and put in force on the 7th of May, and orders for the organization of the force were immediately issued. The regiments were desig- nated and camps of rendezvous established as follows: Twelfth Regiment, Camp Morton, Indianapolis. Thirteenth Regiment, Camp Sullivan, Indianapolis. Fourteenth Regiment, Camp Vigo, Terre Haute. Fifteenth Regiment, Camp Tippecanoe, Lafayette. Sixteenth Regiment, Camp Wayne, Richmond. Seventeenth Regiment, Camp Morton, Indianapolis. Colonel Joseph J. Reynolds, of the Tenth Regiment, (three months' service,) then in command of Camp Morton, was appointed Brigadier General by the Governor, and charged with the organi- zation of the regiments. On the 11th of May the Adjutant General reported five regiments as having the full complement of men, to-wit: the Twelfth, Thirteenth, Fourteenth, Fifteenth and Six- teenth, with a surplus of six companies in camp from which, with new enlistments, the Seventeenth Regiment was subsequently formed. Reynolds' biugade. 13 TRANSFER OF SIX REGIMENTS TO UNITED STATES SERVICE. The President in the meantime, as was anticipated by the Gov- ernor, havinfT called* for an additional volunteer force, requisition was made on the State by the Secretary of War, under date May 16th, for four regiments of volunteers to serve for three years or during the war. This call afforded the Governor the opportunity to relieve the State of a portion of the burden incident to main- taining the six regiments already nearly ready for the field, and accordingly, on the 21st of May, orders were issued transferring three of the regiments formed for State service under the Six Reg- iment bill to the United States' service, and authorizing the organ- ization of an additional regiment (the Seventeenth) out of the companies in Camp Morton, not mustered into any service, and from such other companies as had been tendered, in their order, leaving two regiments in the State service. The question of entering the United States service for three years was at once submitted to the State regiments. The Thir- teenth, Fourteenth, Fifteenth and Seventeenth regiments promptly accepted the proposition, except a few hundred, who declined to volunteer for three years, and who were at once discharged. These regiments were mustered into the United States' service and marched for Western Virginia, as follows: Ut'C^iment. Date of Mii-stcr. Date of Depiirturo. Kovirtf t'ti til .

They were formally transferred to the United Slates on the 2od of July, and immediately left for the Potomac, joining the forces under General Banks, at Pleasant Valley, Maryland. The second vohime contains hir^torical sketches of their services and subsequent re-organization for three years additional service. RAISING AND ORGANIZING VOLUNTEERS. The reader of this Report has already been informed of the re- cruitment of six regiments of three months' troops, and of six regi- iments of State troops, afterwards transferred to the general service of the United States. It now remains to follow up the plans and efforts made by the Executive of Indiana to further increase the army by the recruitment of additional forces. Previous" to the return of the three months' troops from the Western Virginia campaign. Governor Morton dispatched mes- sengers to all the regimental commanders with letters urging them to reenlist, after remaining a reasonable time at their homes, for three years. The regiments returned the latter part of July, and after being paid and mustered out, arrangements were made to reorganize them with the least possible delay. This was accom- plished in a very short time under the auspices and direction of their former Colonels. Other calls had in the meantime been made, and were in progress of being tilled. To give them in detail here would greatly encum- ber this sketch ; reference is therefore made to the tabular statement in the Appendix marked Document No. 12. Indiana, as will be more fully shown under other heads in this report, never flagged in her efforts to raise men and fill the ranks of her regiments and batteries in the field. If there was any distin- guishing characteristic of Governor Morton's administration, it was a desire, determination and ability to recruit troops. Ever alive to the importance of repairing the waste and ravages of battle and of disease, he regarded it to be his foremost duty to place every able-bodied man, or as many as the wants of the Govern- ment demanded, at its disposal. The crowning wish of the Gover- nor, as well as of the people, was that the armies, however large they might be required, should be raised by voluntary enlistment?. PLA\ OF RKCRriTIXG. 15 Not only were the great forces, which the Government put into the field at the beginning of the contest, composed entirely of volun- teers, but the ranks were kept full from the same element, and — with the exception of a few men drafted in October, 1862,* on the ground of equalizing the burthens in localities in arrears — no other resource was resorted to than volunteering in Indiana, until after three years and-a-half of war. And even then, the number put into the field by conscription was comparatively small, and the war was closed, mainly, as it was begun, by volunteers. This was one of its great peculiarities — it was fought, and brought to a successful termination, by men who chose to defend their country of their own accord. In these annals of what Indiana did in the zoar, it is but just to future times and to the great history hereafter to be written, that the facts, as they occurred, should be permantly recorded. It is not invidious to say that no State was more prompt, in furnishing troops, than Indiana. Call after call was made ; our men were among the first to respond, and it is a gratifying truth that no de- mand made upon the State was ever evaded or delayed. Not only were the small contingents in the early part of the war furnished, or anticipated, but the large calls — made after the magnitude of the contest was more clearly seen — were always met with a quick response. No complaints were ever made by the State author- ities that the calls were too frequent or too large — though a feel- ing sprung up that other States were doing less than their share of the work. Being terribly in earnest in the prosecution of the war, Governor Morton repeatedly urged the necessity of making our forces overwhelming, and no effort was spared to furnish the last man demanded. This earnestness at the head of the State govern- ment was contagious, and a large majority of the people were not only united in urging a vigorous prosecution of the war, but their best efforts were exerted to make it vigorous, and the soldiers who went steadily forward carried with them an enthusiastic determin- ation to bring the struggle to a speedy close. The spirit, and valor, and victories of our heroes at the front, in turn, reacted upon the people, and recruiting was greatly stimulated by the fame which the earlier troops acquired by their splendid services in the field. *Sne Draft of 1862 in Uiis volume. 16 ADJUTANT GENERAL S RKPORT. The manner in which this great work of recruiting was carried on in Indiana must be briefly explained. Upon receipt of a call from the President, the Governor's plan was to issue a proclamation, stating the requisition made for addi- tional troops, and call upon the citizens to fill it at once. He always endeavored to get the influential men in every neighborhood enlisted in the work. Meetings were held, patriotic and stirring speeches were made, and regularly commissioned recruiting officers were induced to zealously exert themselves every- where. Under nearly all, if not all, the calls, new regiments were organized. For facihtating organization, camps of rendezvous were established in each Congressional District, and commandants quartermasters, adjutants, and examining surgeons, were appointed to superintend and press forward rapid organization. These indis- pensable officers were selected from the men of the district, of in- fluential character, who were especially quaUficd by energy and capacity for organization, as well as being conspicuous for their local popularity. Commissions were then issued to one man for each company to be raised, with pay for the service; permanent commissions in the organization being conditional upon success in enlisting recruits. Local committees were formed in each town- ship; and, after the first year of the war, local bounties were very generally ofTered by the counties and township;. A very large proportion of the troops furnished by Indiana, however, originally enlisted witjiout any bounty further than that allowed by the Gen- eral Government. Recruits were in all cases allowed their choice as to the regiment in which they preferred to serve, though the larger portion of them always selected the new regiments of their own districts. RECRUITING THE FIRST YEAR. Tn this year were raised the six regiments of three months' troops, six regiments of State troops, afterwards transferred to the United Sates' service; the three months' regiments were re-organ- ized for the three years' service; the Infantry regiments up to the Fifty-ninth, were recruited, and portions of some others; three regiments of Cavalry and twelve batteries of Artillery were put in the field. These organizations were recruited with the greatest ease. For a long time, more companies were offered than the Governor was authorized to accept, and, as most of the commands • SUBSEQUENT CALLS. 17 were recruited under special authority from the War Department, (not being raised to fill a quota under any formal call,) the news that another regiment, or two more, or three more, or ten more, was accepted and hailed with delight, and it was only necessary To make selections from the companies tendered, to complete the organizations at once. As the war progressed, and the people learned of the long and toilsome marches the service required, there was a strong preference manifested for Cavalry and Arlillery organizations, but in 1861, this was not the case, and if any arm of the service was more in favor than any other, it was the In- fantry. General Scott positively discouraged the enlistment of Cavah-y, and it was thought that the " regular " batteries of ''flying" artillery would be sufficient for all emergencies. It is worthy of remark that most of the organizations which entered the service during this year re-enlisted, as their terms of service were about to expire, and remained in the field until the close of the w'ar, having a part not only in the first victories which thrilled the Nation, but in the final surrender of the rebel armies whiqh gave it Peace. And there can be no doubt that these early volunteers, by their gallantry, not only greatly stimulated all sub- .sequent recruitment, but, through their long experience as veteran soldiers, excited the zeal and influenced the discipline and efficiency of all later organizations to an almost immeasurable extent. SUBS ]■; a u e n t c a r, l s . The winter of 1861-2, was severe, and the unavoidable suffer- ings of the troops in the field, owing to the want of preparation on the part of the Government to furnish the necessary comforts for a winter campaign — added to the unfavorable nature of the season itself — greatly retarded enlistments, and for a time they almost ceased. The efforts of the Governor and State authorities were not relaxed however, and several fine regiments were organized and put into the field before spring. The victories of Mill Springs, in January, Fort Donalson in February, and Shiloh in April, had a marked effect upon the public mind, and, as the overthrow of the rebellion seemed near at hand, there were indications that as soon as the spring should fairly open, enlistments would again be large • Vvdien suddenly an order was received from the War Department to stop recruiting entirely. This was a most unfortunate step, but all efforts to have the order recalled were unavailing, though the Vol. 1.— 3. 18 ADJUTANT GEJJERAL's REPORT- dangers that thickly beset us did not allow the entire suspension of recruiting. It was not until the call of July, after the defeats in front of Richmond, that systematic and energetic measures were permitted to raise a large force. Tiiis call came at a most un- fortunate time. Our armies had, in some degree, lost their prestige. They had not only been defeated but ont-generaled, which humili- ated and discouraged the troops in the field, and materially de- tracted from that enthusiasm which was so needful to encourage recruiting at home. Then, the season of the year was unfavora- ble; the farmers being employed in harvesting; and every body busily engaged. Still the Governor went promptly and energet- ically to work; camps were formed, commandants appointed, re- cruiting lieutenants commissioned, and the whole machinery put in motion. The results at first were not encouraging. Recruiting dragged for a time, but the invasion of Kentucky by Kiuby Smith and the threatened draft under the call of August, were sufficient to bring out the latent resources of the State. How grandly and promptly the response was made will be described hereafter.* All quotas were more than filled, and the encouragement the Govern- ment gave, by the adoption of a really vigorous policy in the con- duct of the war, restored confidence and created the greatest en- thusiasm. The first call in 1863, was in June, for six months' regiments of • militia. Four regiments were raised in Indiana, and sent to East Tennessee. Then came the call of October 17, 1863, for three hun- dred thousand men ; followed in February and March, 1864, by calls aggregating four hundred thousand more. The quotas as- signed to Indiana under these calls were all filled without resorting to a draft. The "Hundred Days' Movement" followed, and then came the call of July 18, 1864, for five hundred thousand men, fol- lowed in December by another call, the last of the war, for three hundred thousand. These latter calls were filled partially by draft, but mainly by volunteers, as will hereafter be more particularly related. CONDUCT OF THE WAR. I will not repeat here the facts so often stated in the Report, which show the anxiety and determination of Governor Morton that Indiana should do her whole duty in the war. He was ever •-■•See " Kirby Sinitli's" campaign in this volume. CONDUCT OF THE WAR. 19 vigilant, energetic, expedient. He could not, and did not, wait the slow and cumbrous movements of the authorities at Washington — even of Mr. Lincoln himself — to make our armies so strong as to be at once successful, overwhelming. He devised plans of his own, and suggested, urged and pleaded with the Government for the adoption of a more vigorous war policy, and always in favor of en- larging and strengthening, by every possible means, the forces in the field. And often, when it seemed that the Government, by liesitation, inaction and delay, was on the point of sacrificing, or allowing to be sacrificed, the objects of the war by permitting great advantages to be seized by the rebels, the Governor took grave and weighty responsibilities on himself, determined that no fault of his, or of his State, should add to the chances of disaster or defeat. Believing in the correctness of his own views with regard to the perils of the situation, despite the hamperings and objections that continually trammelled him, he often raised troops in advance of any call, and on many occasions made offers, when none were de- manded, and though his efforts and offers were sometimes criti- cized severely, in no single instance did he have to take a backward step. The troops were always needed and were always most ac- ceptable, but the foresight that provided them, and the pressure that attempted to secure their acceptance, did not always receive the appreciation they deserved until the contingencies or misfor- tunes they were intended to anticipate, or prevent, had actually transpired. His views on the conduct of the war were frequently and freely expressed to the President, and carried with them great force. The following letter possesses historical interest: Metropolitan Hotel, Washington, October 7, 1862. His Excellency Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States: Dear Sir : I could not leave the city without addressing you this note, and my intense solicitude for the success of our cause must be my apology. In my opinion, if our arms do not make great progress within the next sixtj-x days, our cause will be almost lost. Our financial system must speedily end. The Government may subsist for a time upon issues of an irredeemable paper currency, which the law has made a legal tender, but the time will come when the people will refuse to sell their commodities and receive this currency in payment, and when this occurs, financial embarrassment and ruin will overwhelm the country. The system may collapse in a single day, and should it occur before the termination of the war, will of itself, be sufficient to end it against us.

PLAN FOR RE-ENL SIMExNT. 29 [By Tplcgraiili.] *• Executive Department, •' Indianapolis, Ind., October 7, 1863. "Cb/oneZ Jamus B. Fnv, Provost Marshal General, Washington, D. C: *' I respectfully submit tlie following plan for filling uji the old three (3) year? regiments : A certain number of the old regiments, say one from each Congressional District, reduced lowest in point of numbers, or oldest in orgaiaization, and three- fourths of which will reiiulist for three years, should be brought home to recruit- — officers and men to be f'urloughed for such time as the Governors of the respective States may determine, for the purpose of i-ecruiting for their respective regiments, the Governor to designate places of rendezvous. At the expiration of the terms of furlough, the regiments to be returned to the field, and a like number of old regi- ments, upon the same principle, be brought home and recruited, and so on. The men who re enlist to be mustered out as if their first terms of enlistment had ex- pired for past service, and be paid the four hundred and two dollars (S402 00) b:>unty awarded to veteran volunteers for future service. This will place the regi- ments organized in 1861, as regards bounty, on the same footing as those organized in 1862, and it is believed the plan will take so few men from any one corps as not materially to weaken it. [Signed,] O. P. Morton, " Governor of Indiana." It will be observed the Governor made it a point to require three-fourths of the old regiments to agree to re-enlist for three years before being sent home on furlough to recruit. The reenlistment of veterans, under the orders of the War Department " hung fire," and some other plan had to be resorted to. The country could not art'ord to lose the services of her brave veterans, and it was of the first importance that their ranks should be filled up. After delib- erating nearly two weeks. General Halleck, then Corainander-in- Chief of the Army, agreed* that Governor Morton might make requisition upon each General oflicer commanding a Department, \n which Indiana troops were serving, for one non-commissioned officer or private from each company, to be selected by the regi- mental commander, to be sent home on recruiting service, and pro- viding that if vacancies for commissioned offices existed, the non- commissioned officers or privates should be entitled to promotion on recruiting the company to the minumum standard. If there were no vacancies of commissioned officers in any company, the commanding officer of the regiment, in his discretion, could detail one commissioned officer or one enlisted man to recruit for each company. All were to report to the Governor. These details were promptly made from all the old Indiana regi- ments ; also from the old batteries. The recruiting officers were *Appen(lix, Doc. No. 98. 80 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. assif^ned to duty by the Governor in the neighborhoods where their companies were originally raised. Several thousand reeruits were obtained, and while many were thus enabled to secure the promo- tions which they had so long deserved, the old veterans in the field were greatly encouraged by having their ranks filled up with new men. The more important work, however, of reenlisting the old veterans in the filed, flagged, and it seemed the whole scheme would prove a failure. The general terms of the reenlistment and the amount of bounty offered were satisfactory enough, but the provision of granting furloughs of thirty days " as soon after the expiration of their original term of enlistment as the exigencies of the service will permit,'^ was altogether distasteful. They placed but little confi- dence in such a promise ; it was too uncertain and too distant. To obviate this objection the War Department issued an order on the 21st of November, 1863, which authorized " a furlough of at least thirty days previous to the expiration of their original enlistment." This stipulation was to be entered upon the reenlistment rolls, and commanding Generals of armies and departments were required to see that the furloughs were granted and that the men were provided with transportation to their homes at the expense of the Govern- ment. These modifications were well received, and soon reenlist- ments began to be made in large numbers. To encourage the work, Governor Morton dispatched special agents to confer with the officers and men in the field, and to bring such influence to bear as would accomplish the desired result. Among the agents who undertook this work, the following deserve honorable mention for their valuable services : General John T. Wildek, Captain Henry B. Hill, Colonel Lawrence S. Shuler, Dr. Calvin J. Woods, and Simon T. Powell, Esq. All the Indiana military agents, and many of the Indiana general, field and line officers, took special interest in the matter and contributed largely in secur- ing reenlistments. Liberal local bounties were paid by many local- ities. Altogether fully three-fourths of the men remaining in the regiments and batteries of 1861 recnlisted. Many more would have done so but for the opposition of some officers, who were afraid their commands might be broken up, and the inattention and neglect of mustering officers, which caused vexatious delays; and in some cases also, because of a lack of definite instructions and the non-arrival of proper blanks. These things, trifles though they VETERANS RE-ENLISTED, $1 seem, created di&affection and a feeling of uncertainty in the minds of the men and materially lessened the number of reenlistments that otherwise might have been obtained. The troops commenced returning on furlough early in January 1864, and continued to arrive, as they could be spared from the field, until each organization had been granted this privilege. They were received by the authorities and people with every demonstra- tion of respect and gratitude. An account of the public ovations that were tendered them, will be given hereafter.

The furlough allowed was thirty days in the State, and during most of this time each officer and soldier engaged in recruiting, and so successful were their efforts a large number of recruits were added to their ranks. No just estimate can be made of the importance of thus retain- ing in the service the hardy and skillful veterans, who had gone through all the trials and triumphs of the war. The Secretary of War, in his report for 1864, truthfully remarks that no other measure, looking to the recruitment of the army, had resulted so advantageously. The great moral effect of these veterans renew-, ing their pledge of service to the Government was everywhere fellr It showed their faith in the cause for which they perilled thei RECKPTION OF TROOPS. 33 lives; it improved and strengthened public opinion, encouraged and stimulated recruiting, and gave assurance to the world that the loyal soldiers of the land were equal to the great work of saving the Nation by the valor of their arms. KKCEPTION OF TROOPS. At the expiration of the term of service of the three months' volunteers, Governor Morton inaugurated a system of receptions, which was continued during the war and which gave much grati- fication to the "loyal heart" of the people, greatly encouraged the retm-ning soldiers, and to a considerable extent stimulated recruit- ing. These receptions were announced and the time fixed a day l)eforehand; a public dinner was prepared, after which the regi- ment or battery to be received was escorted with appropriate music, amidst the firing of cannon, to the Capitol grounds, or, if the weather was inclement, to a public hall, where addresses of welcome and congratulation were delivered by the Governor and others, on the part of the people of the State, which were usually responded to by the commanding officer of the organization and other officers of the command. The Governor's address included a short military history of the sevices of the regiment or battery, its campaigns, marches and engagements. These reception dinners and meetings were always enlivened by the presence of a goodly delegation of the fair ladies of Indian- apolis, who were gratified to wait on the gallant soldiers at table, and with them participate in the joyous re-unions which followed. At dinner excellent music by a full band gave animation to the re- past, as well as on the march to the place of reception and during; the exercises at the stand. Frequently the occasion was enlivenedi by patriotic and humorous songs, by singing clubs and individualsj. greatly to the amusement and gi-atification of all in attendance. Every regiment and battery, upon its return to the State, was honored with a reception, such as has been described ; the hospi- talities and thanks of the State were tendered in a lavish and hearty manner by the authorities, aided always by the patriotic citizens, and especially the ladies of Indianapolis; and the happy effect and feeling thus produced and inspired among the soldiers, were pleasurable features of the war, and were attended with the Vol. 1.— 4. 34 ADJUTANT GKN'KRAL's KLPORT. best results on the morale of Ihe troops. The establislimoiitof t!u' Soldiers' Home and Rest enabled the authorities to furnish several regiments at once witli a most excellent dinner, while the fair attendants and the soul-stirring music added charms to the occa- sion that could not fail to be appreciated by tlie brave men, just, from ''the front," who had long been deprived of tlie comforts and graces which abound in the abodes of peace. The influence of these receptions was salutary and cheering, and the weary, war- worn veterans, in the enthusiasm with which they were welcomed, felt that their many toilsome marches and hard-fought battles were amply recompensed by the kind and hearty appreciation of iheir friends at home. The re-enlisted Indiana veterans, of whom there were over twelve thousand, were granted furloughs for thirty days upon re-enlisting, or as soon thereafter as their services could be spared. Pvlost of them were in the South, under Grant and Shkrman, and returne;! by way of Jefferson ville, where a large hall was fitted up for their temporary accommodation, well warmed, seated and ligiited ; and at all hours hot coffee and a substantial luncheon were ready for all who chose to partake. This arrangement was a real relief to the many thousand soldiers, not only from Indiana, but tVom ail the Northern States, who returned on veteran furloughs during the severe winter of 1863-4, and the Governor could not probably have devised anything for their comfort and relief which would have given more satisfaction than the refreshment rooms at Jefferson- ville. At Indianapolis, the returning troops were met at the depot by a messenger, who at once conducted them to the spacious " Home," where comfortable quarters and a "good square meal," smoking >hot, was sure to await tliem. Half an hour was ample titne, with ;the splendid facilities for cooking at the " Home," to prepitre an ■excellent meal — in which pastry, condiments, and vegetables were •conspicuous — for a full regiment, and as the time of arrival of troops was usually telegraphed in advance, delays in the prepara- tion of refreshments were of rare occurrence. The perfection to which all these arransrements were brousfht in the course of the; war was attested by thousands of soldiers, and reflected the highest credit on all concerned. In fact, too much can not be siiid of the muniilcnit liberality which characterized all these efforts, or of the ONE HUNDRED DAYS TROOPS. ol O'O generous disposition of the loyal people of the State, who never, for a moment, withheld the means to administer to the wants, comforts and neeessities of onr soldiers. The good feeling created by these receptions was noticeable on all occasions. The men went to their homes, after long absence, in good heart, with animated spirits, and were thus greatly en- couraged in the patriotic work in which they were engaged. They had not been forgotten; their Governor and the "brave at. home," were not unmindful of their comfort or their interests ; their families had been tenderly cared for in their absence, and everything con- spired to make them contented and joyous. The result was that our veteran regiments were greatly streng-thened by new recruits who flocked to the old standards by hundreds, encouraged by the honors that were so freely and heartily showered upon those who had pioneered in the glorious duty of saving their Government from the calamity of overthrow and dissolution. This brief notice would be incomplete without mentioning the very faithful and valuable services of the venerable Colonel James Blake, who uniformly acted as Chief Marshal at all the receptions. To him, and likewise to the many ladies who lent the charm of their presence, and generously attended the soldiers at the reception dinners, however inclement the' weather, the thanks of the State authorities, and of the people of the State are due. ONE HUNDRED DAYS' TROOPS. The spring of 1864 opened, with the prospect of much desperate and bloody work before the armies of the East and South. It was urgenily stated by Generals Grant and Sherman that every able- bodied soldier was imperatively needed. The grand Atlanta and. Richmond campaigns were about to be commenced, and such general measures taken as were believed v/ould result in the over- throw of the rebellion. Indiana v.\as relied upon, with well- grounded confidence, and expected to put into play all her ener- gies to make the army crushingly powerful. The calls of February and March, requiring over tlurty-seven thousand men had been filled in an almost incredible short time, and the troops were hur- 3G ADJUTANT 0KNERAL'"9 HEFaRT. Tied forward as rapidly as the means of the Govenirncnt waulcl admit. The twelve thousand re-enlisted veterans, who had been granted a furlough to their homes of thirty days, were promptly re- turned to their places at the front, and vigorous and successful eflbrts were made to fill the ranks of all the old organizations. General Sherman, at this period, took care to impress upon Gov- ernor Morton the importance of having every man that could be raised, forwarded to his command with the least possible delay. On the 6th of April, he telegraphed: " The season is advancing and no excuse can be entertained, such as waiting for more recruits. Three hundred men in time, are better than a thousand too late, .Now is the time every soldier should be in his proper place — the front." Again on the 23d, he telegraphed: " The force of ten thousand I sent up Red River was intended to form a part of my force for the spring campaign, but Banks can not spare them and I will be sliort that number. We can not mount half the cayalry already in the service. If the new cavalry regiments will not serve as infantry, I see no prospect of using them except as dismounted cavalry, which is the tame thing. I tell you tliat it is Impossible to arm and equip them this season, and even then we could not find horses where we are going. Why not let me use them to gnard my roads and re- lieve other guard troops to that extent? They would be none the worse cavalry for a few months' service with muskets. I can put them in reserve where drill and instruction conld go on quite as well as where they now are, and I can arm them aa infantry. When horses and equipments come they can be mounted and equii)ped, and relieved as soon as furloughed regiments arrive, or as soon as A. J. SMixii'tJ command comes oat of Red River." The Governor concurred fully with these views, and several of the new cavalry regiments were at once sent forward as infantry. This unexpected necessity was a great disappointment of course^ but the men bore it cheerfully when assurance was given them that their horses and carbines would speedily follow. General Sherman was much pleased with the uncomplaining disposition of tjje troops, and on the 3d of May, sent this telegram to the Governor: " I am well satisfied at the despatch given to the new cavalry regiments, and will do all in my power to make them an honor to your State. I wish you would use your personal influence to content them with the fact, that all cavalry regiments should undergo preliminary instruction in infantry practice, before being cnti-usted with horses. The immense waste of fine cavalry horses in the past two years h proof of this." Yet, notwithstanding the gigantic efforts that were made, it had been for some time clearly apparent to Governor Morton that H REAK GUARDS RELIhVED. •enough men to make a splendid army would be compelled to remain guarding railroads, depots of public stores, and fortifica- tions in the rear of the advancing armies — and it was further evi- dent that if these men, who were trained soldiers, could be relieved of guard duty and placed in the advance the chances of success would be greatly increased. How this great desideratum could be brought about was then an important and perhaps a vital question. The quotas having been filled, recruiting for the three years service lapsed into insignificance — it appeared almost impossible to increase the army to the standard required for the mighty operations con- templated in the plans for the campaign. In this crisis Governors Morton and Brough met at Indianapoli? and devised a plan, which afterwards ripened into the " One hun- dred Days' movement," whereby it was hoped the troops then engaged as rear guards could be relieved and sent forward for the more important work of fighting the enemy. Accordingly, on the 11th of April, a telegram was sent to the Governors of Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin and Michigan, inviting them to meet the Govern- ors of Ohio and Indiana at Indianapolis, in consultation on im- portant public business, on the 22d. The meeting was held. Gov- ernors Yates of Illinois, Sione of Iowa, Brough of Ohio, Lewis of Wisconsin and Morton of Indiana being present. (Governor Blair of Michigan, could not attend but telegraphed his readiness to ac- cede to any measures, which might be adopted for the benefit of the country.) After full discussion, the general features of the plan were agreed to and the Governors immediately proceeded to Washington, to urge its adoption by the President. In this they succeeded. The proposition was in the following form: ^' To the President of the United States : I. The Governors of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa and Wisconsin oiFer to the President infantry troops for the approaching campaign, as follows : Ohio, , 30,000. Indiana, 20,000. Illinois, 20,000. Iowa, 10,000. Wisconsin, 5,000. il. The term of service to be one hundred days, reckoned from the date of muster Into the service of the United States, unless sooner discharaed. III. The troops to be mustered Into the United States service by regiments, when the regiments are filled up, according to regulations, to the minimum strength — ^the regiments to be organized according to the regulations of the War Depart- 38 ADJUTANT general's RKPORT. ment. The wliole niunbcr to be furnished witliia twenty days tVom the date of no- tice of the acceptance of this proposition. IV. The troops to be clothed, armed, equipped, subsisted, transported, and paid as other United States infantry volunteers, and to serve in fortifications, or wher- ever their services may be rcquirkl, -within or without their respective States. V. No bounty to be paid the troops, nor the service charged or credited to any draft. VI. Tiie draft for three years' sei'vice to go on in any State or district where the quota is not filled up ; but if any officer or soldier in this sj>ecial servi(;e should bo drafted, he shall be credited for the service rendered.

" The foregoing proposition of the Governors is accepted, and the Secretaiy of War is directed to carry it into execution. A. LI^•coL^^" '^ April 21, 18G4." As soon as the acceptance of the proposition had been decided, the fact was comrnunitated to headquarters at Indianapolis, and preparations made for raising Indiana's quota as soon as possible.* That the quota was not raised requires a word of explanation. The attempt was made at the busiest time of the spring season, just after the heavy calls of February and March had been iilled, which the people, who had been so largely drawn on before, confidently believed would be the last. No fears of a draft were entertained, and most of the arms-bearing laboring men of the State had entered into engagements with farmers for the season. The militia, what there was of it, was organized on the volunteer system for the pro- tection of the border, with the express understanding that it was not to be called into service except for home defense. The militia law gave the Governor no power to compel service, or to send the troops beyond the limits of the State ; this force, therefore, as a body, was not available, though many volunteers were obtained from it for the call. In Ohio the case was different, and her quota was entirely and immediately filled by simply transferring the required number from the National Guard to the United States' service. Indiana's quota could only be filled by volunteers, and with the most energetic eflTorts the authorities were able to make, only eight regiments, aggregating seven thousand four hundred and fifteen *Appoudix, Doc. No. \2(i. AN RKP.OR CORRE n"El). ?9 men, could be raised. In Illinois the case was about the same, and for similar reasons her quota was not filled by nearly one-half. Iowa furnished over two thousand and Michigan nearly four thou- sand. The Indiana hundred days men served their term in Tennessee and Alabama, and by relieving older and more experienced troops from the duty of guarding General Sherman's communications, supply depots, etc., greatly strengthened his army and assured its success in the arduous and stubbornly-contested struggle against Atlanta. The regiments were well officered, were composed of the best material, and by faithful service reflected credit uj)on them- selves and the State. So highly did the Government value their services, the President issued to each man a certificate of thanks. In concluding this account, I desire to notice a statement made by Mr. Whitelaw Reid, in his history of " Ohio in the War." He claims that it was upon the " suggestion " of Governor Brough that the meeting of the Governors was held at Washington, and that the proposition which was accepted was " prepared under his direction,"* leaving the inference very clear that the One Hundred Days movement originated with the Governor. Such is not the fact. Governor Brough did a noble part in that matter, and it is but just to his honored memory that the highest meed of praise be awarded to him. But the idea was first " suggested " by Governor Morton. It is known to the writer hereof, who was a member of Governor Morton's military staff and on duty at the executive office at the time, that he conversed freely on the subject of fur- nishing short-term men to relieve the garrisons and guards in the rear of Grant and Sherman, and indeed matured, substantially, the plan that was afterwards adopted, several weeks before Governor Brough came to Indianapolis when the matter was first talked of between them. In fact. Governor Brough's visit was on private business relating to railroad aftairs, and he called upon Governor Morton through courtesy and friendship, when the latter explained his plan. The subsequent meeting of the Governors grew out of the first interview. Doubtless all of them had thought about some such movement, but if there is any especial credit due for first sug- gesting it. Governor. Morton is clearly entitled to it. -■"Ohio in the War," vol. 1, p. 209. 40 ADJUTANT GENKRAL's REPORT. DRAFT OF 1862. Under the President's instructions, the Secretary of War issued orders on the 4th of August, 1862, calling for three hundred thou- sand men to serve for nine months, and providing for a draft from the militia, if the quotas of the several loyal States were not filled by the loth of August. At the time this call was made, the call of July 2d, 1862, also for three hundred thousand men, was still pending. Indiana's quota, under each call, assigned on the basis of population, was twenty-one thousand two hundred and fifty men, making together forty-two tiiousand five hundred men. By the 20th of September both calls had been filled by volunteers, ex- cept six thousand and sixty, and this deficiency was further reduced before the draft was made (October 6th,) to three thousand and three men, which number was actually drafted. It is now known that even this small number of men was not due from the State ; on the contrary, if the account of troops furnished had been accu- rately made up at the time, it would have clearly demonstrated that the State had more than tilled all her quotas. But the enroll- ment of the militia, and an examination of the best available data of troops previously furnished, showed that of the nine hundred and sixty-nine townships in the State, three hundred and thirty-four were in arrears on their quotas, while the remaining six hundred and thirty-live were in excess of theirs, or at least had filled them. While the State was not indebted to the Government to the extent of one man, it will be seen that three hundred and thirty-four townships were behind on their quotas, as already stated, to the number of six thousand and sixty men. To equalize the burden of furnishing troops between all the townships, which only now became a burden because of the forced drain upon the arm-bearing population of the State, at a time when loyal and disloyal citizens alike had almost " despaired the Republic," it was decidedly proper to require the delinquent townships to make good their delinquen- cies, and thus place the whole State on an equal footing. This was done — partly by the pressure of the impending drafr, which secured volunteers for more than one-half of the delinquency, and by the draft itself for the balance. Governor Morton, more than any other man, regretted the necessity of resorting to a drafr, and, while he was thoroughly satisfied the State was ahead on her (juota, and really was not justly liable to be conscripted for a single ADJUSTMENT OF CREDITS. 41 soldier, yet it was apparent that, though many localities had fur- nished more than their jDroportion of volunteers, other localities had failed to furnish theirs. A draft was looked upon as a dis- graceful thing, but the result of this one brought out the plain fact that to make the burden of furnishing troops bear equally upon all localities and communities, all deficiencies should be supplied, and the draft was the only means of doing it. This was equal, just, and right; though it was afterward ascertained that the State was eight thou>;and and eight men in excess of her quota, on all calls, at the time the draft was made — October 6, 1862. The true account, upon subsequent adjustment, was as follows : troops called for prior to August 4, 1862, sixly-four thousand seven hundred and sixy-five ; ^oops furnished at date of the draft, ninety-four thousand and twenty-three ; leaving to our credit a surplus of twenty -nine thousand two hundred and fifty-eight men, which was enough to till the call of August 4th, and still leave to the credit of the State, applicable to future calls, eight thousand and eight men. Prior to the issuing of the call of August 14th, recruiting w^as in a very languid state, and enlistments were made slowly and with gi-eat reluctance. Disloyal elements were actively at work through- out the State ; desertions were encouraged by rebel sympathizers, and the slow progress made by our armies in the field, discouraged and disheartened the friends of the Union cause to a degree that even yet is painful to contemplate. The draft, therefore, became an imperative necessity, and, coupled with the extensive rebel raids of KiRBY Smith and Morgan, and the advance of Bragg's whole army into Kentucky, which occurred while the calls of July and August were pending, a most wonderful change was wrought, and regiments and batteries were recruited with unexampled rapidity. The facts relating to recruiting during this important period have been so fully given in another part of this report, under the head of " KiRBY Smith's Campaign," it is not necessary to allude to them here. A brief statement of the manner in which the draft of 1862 was conducted, may, however, very properly be given, as it was a new and novel feature in our affairs, and deserves a place in the military annals of the State. THE ENROLLMENT. No enrollment of the militia had been made since 1832, when the militia force under the old act of February 10, 1831, appears to 42 , ADJL'TANT (ii:N'i:ilA i/s Jit:i'ui:-. have been Jifty-three thousand nine hundred and thirteen men. Un- (.Icr the call of August 4, 1862, it became necessary to enroll in the militia every able-bodied white male citizen, resident within the State over the nge of eighteen and under the age of forty-five years. A plan was prepared by the Secretary of War for this purpose, but in many particulars it was impracticable, as applied to this State, because its execution depended upon county officers, some of whom were opposed to any and every means adopted by the Government to fill its armies; Governor Morton therefore modi- fied the plan somewhat, which modification being approved by the War Department, the enrollment was made accordingly. The plan contemplated : 1. The appointment of a Commissioner in each county, who was required to appoint a deputy in each township; the deputies to make the enrollment; the Commissioner to supervise the work. 2. Two lists were to be made in each township ; one for those who were in the United States service, and the other for all other residents between the prescribed ages. 3. These lists were to be returned on completion, by a day to be fix'ed, to the Commissioner for the connty, who should then ap- point a time when he and his deputies would sit as a Board and hear and determine all excuses. Notice of this day was then to be given, and, when all exemptions were marked off, the lists w^ould be ready for the draft. Upon completion of the lists, the Commis- sioners of the several counties were required to return them to the General Commissioner at Indianapolis, to enable him to determine the quota of men required from each township })reparatory to ordering the draft. The enrollment was made under many difficulties, and in many cases was unavoidably imperfect, but as its defects could not easily be remedied, it gave tolerable satisfaction. The total militia force of tlie State, (not including ninety-three thousand and forty- one (93,0 11) volunteers then in service,) was two hundred and nine thousand two hundred and sixteen, (209,216;) of this number thirty-six thousand and thirty-eight (36,038) were exempt from military duty from various causes, leaving one hundred and seven- ty-three thousand one hundred and seventy-eight (173,178) subject to service. PLAN OF THE FliiSl' DKAFT. 4-^ PASS i: s . While the enrollment was progressing, it became necessary to establish some sort of regulations to prevent citizens liable to be drafted from leaving the State to avoid compulsory military service. A system was therefore devised, with General Asahei. Stone at its head, by -\vhich passes were issued upon proper evi- dence being shown that the persons who desired to leave the State v/ere on legitimate business'and not fleeino^ from the draft. The commissioners of the several counties were furnished with the necessary blanks and instructions, and issued passes in all proper cases, fiee of expense. Without a pass of this kind, any citizen liable to draft could be detained by a Marshal until satisfactory evidence was produced that he was not a fugitive from the draft. This arrangement, in itself, amounted to but little, but the moral effect of it was to deter, or frighten citizens from cowardly at- tempting to avoid conscription by leaving the State. THE DRAFT. The mode of drafting was as follows: The drawing was super- vised by the commissioner for the county. The names of all who were liable to draft in each township, respectively, were written on separate ballots, which were carefully folded and placed in a wheel or box, from which a person, blind-folded, drew a number of ballots equal to the quota due from the township being drawn. A notice was then served upon the drafted men, by the Marshal, re- quiring them to report at the county seat within five days, from which place transportation was furnished to the general rendezvous at Indianapolis. Upon arrival at the rendezvous, such as wished to furnish sub- stitutes were permitted to do so. The time for presenting substi- tutes was extended to October 31, 1862, and they were in all respects placed upon the same footing with drafted men. Many of them availed themselves of the privilege granted by the Governor, of volunteering in old regiments for three years, which afterwards caused some misunderstanding, as the principals in many cases claimed exemption on subsequent drafts for the full period of three years. But as they were only drafted for nine months, it was held that the enlistment of substitutes for a longer time was a matter 44 ADJCTANT GENKRAL's RErORT. with which principals had nothing to do, and all such claims were rejected. The draft took place on the sixth of October and passed off very quietly, considering the high state of political feeling which existed at the time ; and the perfect fairness with which it was conducted was generally admitted, even by opponents of the war measures of the Government. There was but one disturbance reported, which took place in Blackford county, where a few lawless men destroyed the draft box and by threats and violence prevented the officers from proceeding with the draft on the day appointed; but the third day afterward it was concluded without further disturbance. Ofthe three thousand and three (3,003) men drafted, 2,183 reported at the general rendezvous, of which number fourteen hundred and forty-one (1,441) volunteered in old three years regiments, or in companies for twelve months' service. Seven hundred and forty- two (742) men, were assigned, as drafted men, as follows: One company to the Fifty-seventh regiment of infantry, one company to the Eighty-third regiment of infantry, two companies to the First regiment of cavalry, and about thirty men to the Ninety- ninth regiment of infantry. The companies thus organized were permitted to select their own captains ; the lieutenants were selected by the Gov'ernor from meritorious non-commissioned officers and privates already in the service. Of the balance of the drafted men, three hundred and ninety-six (396) were discharged for disability and other causes, and four-hundred and twenty-four (424) failed to report and were classed as deserters. COMMlTATiON. A provision in the Constitution of the State exempts persons, conscientiously opposed to bearing arms, from military duty, but requires that they shall pay an equivalent for such exemption. The enrollment of 1862 shows that there were three thousand one hundred and sixty-nine men of this class. Governor Morton pre- sented the question of commutation for these exempts to the Sec- retary of War, who decided that they should be relieved from the draft upon the payment of $200 each. About twelve hundred and fifty "conscientious men" were drafted, and the General Com- missioner proceeded to collect from them the commutation money, through his subordinates in the counties. Some twenty-odd thou- sand dollars was collected, when an appeal from the action of the COrfSCKIf'TIOy ACT. 45 General Commissioner was taken. The matter was sobmitted to the Secretary of War, who, after full investigation, decided that under existing laws the payment of commutation could not be justly required, and thereupon the money was all refunded. OFFICERS. The draft was conducted by Jesse P. Siddall, Esq., of Rich- mond, as General Commissioner, assisted by Messrs. Jeremiah M, Wilson, of Connersville, John F. Kibbey, of Centreville, and John J. Hayden, of Indianapolis, who received the thanks of the (irovcrnment for the faithful and able manner in which their im- portant and laborious duties were performed. The rendezvous was established at " Camp Sullivan," Indianapolis, and was under command of Colonel John S. Williams, Sixty-third Indiana Vol- unteers. In the adjustment of the accounts for the expenses of the draft. Judge Hayden acted as General Commissioner vice Siddall resigned. A full list of all the Commissioners, Surgeons and Marshals will be found in the appendix to this volume.* CONTINUATION OF THE DRAFT SYSTEM UNDEK THE ENROLLMENT ACT OF COXGRESS, 1863-4-5. In the winter of 1862--3, the impossibility of keeping up our armies by volunteering was so apparent, that the necessity of some more thorough and vigorous system of recruitment was recognized by all loyal adherents of the Government. The attention of Con- gress being called to the subject early in the session of that winter, after careful and anxious deliberation, the act known as the " En- rollment Act" was passed on the 3d day of March, 1863. The objects of the Act were : 1. To enroll and hold liable to military duty, all citizens cap- able of bearing arms, not exempt therefrom by its provisions. 2. To call forth the national forces by draft when required. 3. To arrest and return deserters. The great feature of the new law, however, was the establish- ment of an entire new system of raising recruits for the army. Hitherto the whole matter had been conducted by the States; now, '■'Appendix Doc. 'So. 28. 46 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. however, it was taken directly in hand In- the General^ Govern- ment. For this purpose a new Bureau was established under charo-e of the Provost ^Marshal General. To assist him, Provost Marshals were appointed in each Congressional District. For con- venience there was also appointed, though not required by the law, an Actin"- Assistant Provost Marshal General for each State. To these officers and their subordinates, the whole business of enroll- ing, enlisting, and when quotas were not filled, drafting, men to fill the demands of the Government, and arresting deserters, was con- fided. The authorities of the States of course co-operated and as- sisted, but the whole machinery of raising men was placed under the immediate charge of the Provost Marshal General. Being thus simplified, and controlled by one Bureau, the great work of recruiting was much more equitably and promptly performed than under the purely volunteer system. To facilitate the enrollment, tihe law established in each District a Board of Enrollment, composed of the District Provost Marshal as President, a Commissioner and a Surgeon, appointed by the President of the United States. This Board was directed to divide the District into sub-districts, and appoint every two years an en- rolling officer for each sub-district. The enrolling officer was pro- vided v\'ith blanks and instructions, and required immediately to proceed to enroll all persons subject to do military duty, noting their age, residence and occupation. These lists v/ere then con- solidated and a copy forwarded to the Provost Marshal General. As soon as the new Bureau was fairly organized, steps were taken to cirry out these provisions. The Boards of Enrollment were organized early in May, 1863, and the districts at once sub-divided for the purpose of enrollment; towns, townships, and wards being generally adopted as the most convenient sub-divisions. The en- rolling officers were appointed, and sworn to perform iheir duties and carry out their special instructions, faithfully and impartially, great care being exercised to appoint none but competent and honest men. To find such men, willing to undertake the work, was a matter of some difficulty, but the list was completed, and the enrollment commenced in earnest about the 25th of May, 1S63. This enrollment was to form a complete register of all the national for men. Vol. 1.— 5. 50 ADJUTANT OKNKUAl's REPORT. No person was entitled to the benefit of this section unless his declaration should be supported by evidence that his deportment had been consistent with such declaration. Under the law any person after draft might still be relieved from service by furnishing a substitute or the payment of 8300 comuiu- tation. This provision was manifestly unjust; and although it furnished a large "draft and substitute fund," as it was called, with which the Provost Marshal's Bureau was enabled to maintain an extensive establishment and pay large bounties and premiums, the effect of the commutation clause of the law was bad, and it may well be doubted whether its benefits were not overshadowx-d by its evils. The crowning argument, at the time, among the people was, "a poor man who has not $800 must go to th^* wars;" "a rich man, who can pay ^300, or who can hire a substitute, need not go." Much of the opposition and not a little of the acerbity and bitterness manifested against the war policy of the Govern- ment may doubtless be attributed to the unequal bearing upon the fpeople of this commutation clause. The money thus obtained, it was intended to apply in the j)rocuration of substitutes by the Crovernment, and large bounties were at one offered for volunteers. It was soon demonstrated that the practical effect of this pro- vision was to make an unfair distribution of the burdens of the war. But few substitutes were thus obtained; for, while each call for troops brought a large sum into the treasury, but few men were placed in the army. People who thought the draft was intended to .procure men, while other means were provided for raising money, were greatly dissatisfied. Besides, many wealthy communities |)urchased entire exemption by paying the money value of their ■quotas in advance of the draft, and made no effort to procure men. Governor Morton, after witnessing the baneful effects of the "three hundred dollar" system, and the demoralization wrought by it in the minds of the people, everywhere, protested to the President and Secretary of War against it in the most earnest and emphatic manner. On the 6th of March, 1863, he wrote as follows : " Public feeling has greatly improved in the West ■within the la.st six weeks, but 1 fear the improvement is likely to receive a disastrous check from the construction given to the 13th section of the Conscription Act, which permits a drafted man to relieve himself from the draft by the payment of $300. By this construction e^-ery maa who can beg or borrow $300, can exempt himself from the draft, and it will OPPOSlt[ON TO C0,"\^ MUTATION. 51 fall only upon thoie who are too poor to raise tliat sum. I can assure you that this feature in the Bill is creating nsuch excitement and ill-feeling towards the Govern- ment among the poorer classes g'.-nerally, without regard to party, and may. if it is not subdued, load to a popular storm, under cover of which the execution of the Conscription Act may be greatly hindred, or even defeated, in some portions of the country. '• Under this construction, I am satisfied that the draft will not put into the ranks any person who is not working with the Union party ; already movements are on foot In the secret societies of Indiana, and among the leaders of the disloyalists, to raise money to purchase the exemption of every anti-war man who may be drafted, who can not raise the money himself; and already the boast is made that the Gov- ernment shall not have one more of their men for 1;he prosecution of this war. " The matter seems to me of so much importance that I have procured Colonel Rose, the Marshal of the State, who is the bearer of this letter, to visit you, and who can more fully inform you of the views and apprehensions entertained here. From a careful reading of the section, I am of the opinion that a construction can be given to it, Avithout violence, by which it is left discretionary with the Secretary of War to di'tormine whether he will accept of any sum In discharge of the drafted man, and that he may legitimately determine that he will not. "In my judgment, it is of the first importance that this construction, if possible, be immediatel}'^ given to the act, and published to the world, before a current of feeling shall have set in against the Government. In Indiana, substitutes can not be procured for $300 In any number, if at all, and the rule should be that every drafted man should be required to serve unless he shall actually produce his substitute. " I pray you to give this subject your immediate consideration." But the commutation system was retained for the time being, notwithstanding the repeated declarations of General Fry himself, at the head of the Provost Marshal's Bureau, that the measure was impolitic and detrimental to the best interests of the service. On the fii'st of February, 1864, the Governor — who had frequently appealed in person to the authorities at Washington for a repeal or suspension of the -IJSOO clause of the enrollment act — addressed the following characteristic letter to the Provost Marshal General : State of Indiana, Executive Department, Indianapolis, February 1, 1864. Coi.. James B. Fry, Provost Marshal General, Washington City: Dear Sir: The call of the President for 200,000 additional troops, appeared in the papers this morning, and meets with my hearty approbation. I have dispatched Adjutant General Noble, the bearer of this letter, to Wash- ington, to settle some questions aflTecting the quota of Indiana under the last call. I deem it not Improper at this time to call the attention of the Government to a subject which Is already receiving much discussion in the Western States, (I speak more particularly for Indiana), and which may soon attain a magnitude affecting 5^ adjctant (jenstrai/s refort. the populaiity of the Administration and the strength of the Govornmont^ i't iV generally thought in the West that the great States of New York and Pennsylvania, comprising more than one-third of the population of all tlie loyal States, are largely delincpient under the last two calls, to which may perhaps be added one or two' 9ther Eastern States, and the feeling is becoming c^uite strong that before any attempt is made by the Government to draft in States that have regularly furnished their quotas, the Government should first collect from those great States their large antt Ion"' due arrears of troops. Tlie burdens of the war should be made to fall as nearly as possible equally upon all the States ; while this is done the people will bear them cheerfully, but if it shall become apparent that some States are avoiding their share of the burdens, which are thus made to fall more heavily upon others, thereby increasing those to be borne by the others, it will occasion great dissatisfaction, and must result disastrously to tlie Government. I have said to my New England friends that it was short-sighted policy for the Eastern States to insist upon a Conscript Law, under which the old and wealthy communities can buy out their conscripts, and under which anti-war communities everywhere can furnish money to exempt the members of their party who may be drafted. Indiana, and other Western States, are suffering a vast drain upon their population, but they will submit to it patriotically and promptly, if all fare alike. But if some States greatly fail to furnish their men and buy out under the draft, or piece out their quotas by colored recruits ])icked up in rebel States, or else- where beyond their own limits, it must occasion great dissatisfaction. In less than a week from this time the anti-war press will howl into the ears of our people that Indiana is threatened with a draft on the 10th of ]March if she fails to furnish her quota under the ntw call, while it is believed Pennsylvania and New York are de- linquent between one and two hundred thousand, and have been for many months. It is stated, upon the authority of Washington correspondents, that they are yet be- hind upon the call of 1862, for which the ineffectual draft was made last summer, and the conviction will be fastened upon the public mind, that if those States had done their duty, some of the Western States would be relieved from all responsi- bility under the last call. There may be too much truth in all this to make it easilj answered. The people of Indiana will not be content if their actual and furnished ([uotas are to be counted against the nominal and unfurni.shed quotas of other States, and as it is a question of actual flesh and blood, they will not be content that tiie superior cajntal of the older States can be made to count under the Conscript Law against their soldiers which they send to the field. What I have to say on this subject, I say to the Government, and not to the public. I have labored, and shall labor, to keep down all discontents, and I intend, to the extent of my power, that Indiana shall furnish her quota irrespective of what other States may do. T know your opinion of the Conscript Law, and that the retention of the commu- tation clause is against your convictions of justice and sound policy. You under- stand this subject much better than I do ; but you will be able to pardon the sug- gestions of one who has labored diligently in his sphere, and has but one great pur- pose, which is, the support of the Government and the Suppression of the Ke- bellion. ■SOLDIERS WANTEB — NOT MONEY. 53 \ have not kept pace very accurately with Congressional proceedings, but my impression is that the commutation clause will be i-etained in some form which will ■substantially defeat the procurement of new tmops within the time when they will be most needed by the Government, and could be most useM for the speedy termina- iion of the war. I dislike to trouble the Secretary of War in the midst of his great labors with my crude suggestions, but if he has time to hear you read this communication I shall he gratified. I am, very respectfully and sincerely, jours, O. P. MoiiTON, Governor of Indiana. So greatly and justly was commutation complained of, it was repealed, except as to conscientious exempts, by Congress on the 4th of July 1864, up to which time no draft under the Conscription Act had taken place in Indiana. The privilege of release upon paymeiit of commutation was continued, until the close of the war, to the class of men known as conscientious exempts. There were however, during the whole war, but 785 persons of this class who paid commutation from this State. This subject led to many peculiar difficulties, which as they did r^ot affect this State are passed over. Before the draft was applied to Indiana, the principle was clearly recognized that a call for men meant Sokdicrs and not eommutation money ^ nor an adjustment of quotas, and the number of men called for from Indiana was always promptly supplied. Of the two hundred and eight thousand three hundred and sixty- seven men furnished for United States' service, only seventeen thou- sand nine hundred and three were drafted, and of these over three thousand were drafted in 1862, when the State had actually a sur- plus to her credit, but did not get the benefit of it for reasons explained elsewhere in this Report, The drafted raen»of 1864 were assigned to veteran regiments, from 100 to 500 going to each. They performed good service, (with the exception of a few hundred bounty-jumpers,) many of them being with General Shebman in his great campaign through Georgia and the Carolinas, and others materially assisting General Thomas in the operations which resulted in the destruction of the rebel army under Hood, in Middle Tennessee. The same remark also applies to the men raised under the last call, with the exception of some six hundred drafted men, who were discharged at Indiana- polis, after the surrender of Lee — their services not being needed. Besides the great service thus rendered, the depleted ranks of the "faeroic regiments which had been thinned by the campaigns of more 54 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. than three years were filled and many ofiicer?, who were denied muster in the grades to which they had been promoted — because of the havoc made in their commands by bullets and disease, whereby they were reduced below the minimum strength — now received their hard-earned and well-deserved advancement. During the pendency of the drafts recruiting was greatly stimu- lated. The dread of the draft induced citizens to exert themselves in raising local bounties, the temptation of which was too strong to be resisted, and doubtless many hundreds from pecuniary con- siderations alone were secured for the army ; while others dreaded the draft, owing to the supposed reflection upon the patriotism of any one in not rendering service to the country, until forced into the ranks by the Provost Marshal's inexorable " wheel" ; and this dread forced into the army many times the number drawn by the draft itself. Immediately upon the taking effect of the act, in March 186^^, " for enrolling and calling out the National Forces," Colonel Jamcs. B. Fry, Assistant Adjutant General of the Army, was detailed as Provost Marshal General of the United States, and a separate Bureau was established under his charge through w^hich all business under the act was transacted. Colonel Fry, from long experience and by education, was admirably qualified for the important and multifarious duties of Provost Marshal General. The position was surrounded with many difliculties, growing out of the haste and confusion which bad previously attended the recruitment of troops, and the complications that arose in settling former credits and ad- justing future quotas in the several States. The intercourse be- tween the Governor and Military Authorities of Indiana and Col. Fry, who was afterwards promoted to the rank of Brigadier Gene- ral, was extensive and intricate, and, it is but justice to say, he always manifested a disposition to conscientiously and justly facili- tate the efforts made by the State Authorities to raise troops in Indiana to the full extent of his power. A more faithful or capable officer could hardly have been called to the jK-rfoTmance of this responsible trust. In organizing the Provost Marshal's Bureau, it was found to be indispensable to have an officer in each State to superintend the operations of the District Provost Marshals and other subordinates of the Bureau, and conduct the intercourse necessary with the State authorities. The law created no such office, but the public demands OFFICE US UNDER CONSCRIPTION ACT, 55 warranted its establi^htnent in each loyal State. The exigencies of the service limited, as a general rule, the selection of officers to iill these important positions to those incapable of active duty ; but notwithstanding this, excellent men for the purpose were secured from the reg'War and volunteer forces. They were assigned totheir posts in April, 1863, under special instructions from the Provost Marshal General, and were designated as acting Assistant Provost Marshals General and Superintendents of the Volunteer Recruiting Service. They established their offices and organized them for business upon the same general plan as that of the Provost Marshal General, but on a scale modified to suit their more limited duties.* Colonel Conrad Baker, First fndiana Cavalry Volunteers, was assigned to duty under the above arrangement, upon the recom- mendation of Governor Morton, by orders dated April 29, 1863, and immediately established his headquarters at Indianapolis and entered actively upon the work committed to him. His fine ability as a lawyer, superior qualifications as a thorough and meth- odical business man, with his incorruptible integrity and the expe- rience of eighteen months' active service in the field, made his appointment eminently fit and proper, and entirely acceptable to the people of the State. He cooperated most cordially with the State authorities, and, although no draft was ordered while he was in office, so completely had all the preparations been rrmde, little difficulty was afterwards experien^d in carrying out the objects of the conscription law. Colonel Baker having been nominated for Lieutenant Governor, and his term of service in the army having expired, he was honora- bly mustered out on the 17th of August, 1864. He was succeeded by Colonel James G. Jones, Forty-second Indiana Infantry Volun- teers, formerly Attorney General of the State, a gentleman of the highest professional and social standing, a faithful and industrious officer, and for some time previously assistant to Colonel Baker, as Superintendent of the Recruiting Service. Under his supervision tiie first draft was made under the enrollment act. His term as Colonel ol" Volunteers expired on the 10th of October, 1864, and he was honorably discharged from the service at that date. Thomas G. Pitcher, a native of Indiana, Major of the Sixteenth United States Regular Infantry and Brigadier General of Volun- teers, succeeded Colonel Jones. He had been severely wounded *I'iovo8t Uaishal General's Report. 56 ADJUTANT GENEKAl's REPORT. in battle aiul was incapacitated for active service in the field : but his long experience in the regular army and thorough knowl- edge of the needs of the service, with the experience he had pre- viously gained as Acting Assistant Provost Marshal General for the State of Vermont, qualified him in an eminent degree for the duties which devolved upon him in Indiana. His first step was to cause the enrollment lists to be carefully corrected and revised, and when the call of December 19th, 1864, ajjpeared he was at once ready to proceed with it, and so actively did he cooperate with the Governor and State military authorities in filling the quota ol" 22,582, only 2,082 men were required to be drafted to fill the call. General Pitchkr remained on duty at Indianapolis, after the busi- ness of the Provost Marshal's Bureau had been closed, acting as Chief Mustering Officer and Military Commander of the District of Indiana, from the 25th of September, 18G5, to the 17th of August, 1866, when he was relieved and promoted to the Colonelcy of the Forty-fourth l^egiment V. R. C, U. S. Infantry. Subsequently he was assigned to duty as Superintendent of the West Point Military Academy, which position he still retains. RECRUITS FOR THE UNEXPIRED TERM. From the commencement of the rebellion it was the policy of the Government, in which the authorities of this State heartily concurred, to encourage recruiting to fill the depleted ranks of old regiments in the field, rather than the formation of neiv organiza- tions. The increased efficiency of the army, and greater economy in its management, were among the obvious advantages of such a course. In the summer of 1862 this plan was generally advised and persistently impressed upon the public mind. Letters from the War Department, from General McClellan, and other com- Mianding olficers, repeatedly and strongly urged that justice to those regiments which had already achieved a noble fame, as well as jus- tice to the cause, demanded that they should be recruited to their niaximum. These high authorities supported their appeal in behalf of old organizations by representing that the comfort and safety of the new recruits, their progress and facility in learning their duties! RECRUITS FOR UNEXPIRED TERM. 57 and the steadines?, ease, and success with which they performed the many difficult tasks of the campaign, were all promoted by association, side by side, in the same ranks, with veteran and ex- perienced soldiers. But however important it might be to fill up existing organiza- tions, it was a work much more difficult of accomplishment than the formation of new ones. Neither commissions nor warrants could be held out as inducements, the offices being already filled, and the chances of promotion for raw recruits among veteran soldiers were, therefore, slight indeed. The fear of ridicule, and an apprehension that the hardest service would be assigned to com- mands longest in service, had much influence in determining recruits to prefer new regiments, where they could, in all respects, be the equals of their comrades, and share with them in the hope of promotion. Recruiting parties had been detailed from most of the old organi- zations, and were zealously engaged in all parts of the State in filling the ranks of their companies. The general prejudice against enlisting in old regiments proved a great obstacle to tlic success of their labors. This difficulty was, however, finally obviated to some extent, and a fair proportion of recruits diverted to the de- sired channel, by the understanding that all such would be mus- tered out with the regiments in which they should enlist, and not be held for three years from the date of enlistment, as would be the case if they joined the organizations then forming. This impression, though unauthorized by orders from the War Department, unquestionably emanated from the chief mustering officer and his assistants. It was shared by the recruiting officers and by the State authorities. The Adjutant General of the State, in General Orders No. 96, dated October 7th, 1863, stated that drafted men would be permitted to volunteer in any of the old reg- iments in the field to serve during their "unexpired term," and that "substitutes for drafted men (of 1862) would be permitted to vol- unteer in the same manner." The same understanding was had in Iowa, Pennsylvania, and doubtless all other loyal States. The plan of veteranizing had not then been adopted, and there was nothing unreasonable in the supposition that upon a dissolution of an organizat^ion, at the expiration of its term of service, all the men composing it would be simultaneously relieved from duty. The fact that recruits were not accepted for the general service, 58 ADJUTANT GKNM''.1'.AL S KEPOHT. but for paiticul.'vr regitiietits or batteries, doubtless strengthened the impression. Large numbers of recruits entered the service with this understanding, and though the muster rolls which they signed, bound them to serve for "three years unless sooner discharged," vet this was explained by the mustering officers as "a mere techni- cal formality," which would not, in any event, be held to invali- date the verbal agreement. When, upon the expiration of the term of service of their respec- tive regiments, the original members were mustered out, these recruits demanded their discharge. They had fulfilled their contract wit li the Government, as they understood it, and had a right to expect that the conditions of that contract, as explained by the otHcers rep- resentins: the Government at the time of their enlistment and muster-in, should be observed in good faith. Mustering officers refused compliance with this demand, citing their muster-in rolls as the only admissable evidence in such cases. The men thus re- tained in the service, in violation of the clearly understood terms on their part of the compact, and by virtue of what the Govern- ment officers had assured them was, "a mere technical formality,' appealed to the State authorities to interfere in their behalf. Such appeals were frequent and from various departments of the army, this class of recruits having been enlisted in numerous commands. They made no complaint of the severity of the service and ex- pressed no disinclination to its duties, but protested against the manner in which they were held, as a violation alike of the princi- ples of common justice and their rights as men. With a full knowledge of the circumstances, the authorities could not but feel the force of such a protest. Governor Morto.x presented the matter to the Secretary of War, and asked that an order might be issued for the discharge of all Indiana soldiers thus retained in the field. The Secretary declined to take any action in the premjses on the ground that their muster rolls bound them to serve for three years, and left him no discretion to interfere in their behalf. Further applications to the War Department proved equally unsuccessful, eliciting only a disclaimer of any responsibil- ity for the alleged misunderstanding, and assurance that the inter- ests of the service would not admit of their being discharged prior to the expiration of their terms of service as shewn by their muster rolls. RECRUITING' IN SOUTHERN STATES. 59 The Governor subsequently addressed a memorial* to Congress on this subject clearly setting forth all the facts, and earnestly re- questing that body to grant the relief which the War Department had felt compelled to refuse, and stating that in his opinion, sucIj action was alike "demanded by justice, good faith an-d sound policy." This memorial failed to secure the required action. The subject was, at various times, under discussion in Congress, It was represented that thousands of troops from a number of States were in the same condition, and that whatever relief was extended to any one of them must be extended to all. So large a portion of our eflective force could not be spared vvithout serious detriment to the interests of the service, and notwithstanding the persistent efforts of the State authorities, the men in question were retained imtil the expirations of their terms, or until their services were no iongcv required. RECRUITING IN SOUTHERN STATES. The Governors of States, under an act of Congress, approved July Ub, 1864, were authorizeid to send recruiting agents into any of the States declared to be in rebellion, except Arkansas, Tennessee and Louisiana, to recruit volunteers who were entitled to be cred- ited upon State quotas, as other volunteers were credited. Indiana derived no benefit whatever from this provision. Gov- ernor Morton was of opinion that the competition which would spring up between the agents of the Northern States, substitute brokers, bounty agents and quota»fillers, would practically render the law a nuisance, rather than a public benefit, and at the same lime he believed that the army would be much more efficient if each State would fill its quota with actual and bona-fide citizens, who owed service to their country and were inter- ested in its honor and preservation. General Sherman took the same view of the matter and would not allow any enlist- ments in his department; nor would be furnish transporta- tion to agents or recruits, or in any way lend his assent to the scheme. In other departments of the army, however — wherever agents could receive countenance and find protection— many o>f •''Appendix Dae.

But little ditiiculty was experienced during the first two years of the war in promptly tilling all calls made upon this State for troops. 64 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. Local bounties were not then required to stimulate volunteerino', and although in some loealities such bounties were paid, the main purpose was to benefit the families of volunteers. This liberality was regarded as a " duty offering " from those who remained at home, to their neighbors who sacrificed peaceful pursuits and pecu- niary interests in obedience to the call of their country, rather than as a necessary means of filling up the army. At the beginning of the year 1863 the State had furnished vol- unteers largely in excess of hoe quotas under all calls, but the con- tinuous drain upon her industrial resources soon began to be per- ceptibly felt, and from the calls of that year the pressure upon the people in many districts having large quotas to fill became so great as to demand that the local authorities should device some means of relief. Many of the treasuries of counties, cities and towns were empty, or had funds sufficient only for ordinary expenditures and the means of paying bounties could therefore only be obtained by loans. The necessity of procuring money for this purpose was most imperative from the fact that no provision of law required volunteers to be credited to the townships and counties in which they held their legal residence. Each could credit himself in accordance with his interest or preference, and would naturally pre- fer the township paying the highest bounty, so that a locality ofler- ing no pecuniary inducement would be likely to be stripped of its able bodied men without making any progress in the work of filling its quota and thus become every day less prepared for future calls. To overcome these difficulties the local authorities issued bonds, which were either sold in large sums, or paid out as cash to volun- teers. In this wa^j districts were enabled to fill their quotas and to avert the dreaded conscription. The validity of these bonds was doubted by many and the belief very generally prevailed that there was no legal authority for their issue. Bankers and brokers regarded them with suspicion and if prevailed upon to cash them at all, did so at a heavy discount. Every one felt or feared that the courts, if the matter were brought before them would render a decision averse to their validity. But as the issue of the bonds was clearly a duty and necessity, the peo- ple of the various localities interested relied upon the Legislature to pass an act legalizing the action of the local authorities, making the bonds binding according to their terms and effect. They were therefore issued and disposed of to a large amount, and upon the AMOUNT PAID FOR LOCAl, BOUNTIES. 65 meeting of the Legislature in regular session in January 1865, the subject was brought before it and an act* passed legalizing all such bonds and providing for the levy and assessment of taxes for their redemption. The act also prohibited the payment of local bounty under any call that might subsequently be made. Shortly after the passage of this act citizens in various parts of the State instituted legal proceedings to test the question of its con- stitutionality. Several decisions of circuit courts affirmed the valid- ity of the law, and the subject finally received a quietus in a decision ef the Supreme Court at the November term of 1865, which declared that the act is not in conflict with the law or author- ity of the United States and is valid. The aggregate amount expended for local bounties in this State during the war reached the enormous sum of ^15,492,876.04, vary- ing in the several counties from ^2,719.63 the smallest paid by Starke," to $1,377,199.14, the largest paid by Marion County.f The experience of the country during the late war has elicited much discussion as to the comparative advantages of the different means resorted to for raising troops and many of the best authori- ties have expressed opinions condemnatory of any plan of recruit- ment based upon the local bounty system. The exorbitant bounty paid in advance by local authorities proved a fruitful source of evil in the inducement thus offered for desertion or "bounty jumping." The Government bounty on the contrary being paid in installments, at the expiration of specified periods from the date of enlistment, had a tendency not only to obtain recruits, but to keep them in the service. Local bounty being paid on enlistment, served to Jill quotas much more effectually than it filled the depleted ranks of our armies- Local authorities seemed to be aiming at the accomplishment of but one object — ^to avoid the draft. They soon learned that a given sum thus paid in advance would fill their quotas much more rapidly than a larger amount to be paid in installments, conditioned upon the length of time the recruit should continue in the service. They did not make it their business to enquire into the probable results of such a course, nor stop to consider that they were, virtually offering a premium for desertion. The people, with whose money they were operating, relied upon them to relieve their districts from the draft. If they could secure the recruits, and have them accepted ^Appendix Doc. No. 03. fAppendix Doc. No. 8. Vol. 1.— 6. 60 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. and credited on their quotas, their interest ceased. It was not their business to keep their recruits in the service. Tliat dut^ de- volved on the Government. The local bounty system was no sooner fairly inaugurated than an active competition commenced between different localities. The oiler of large bounties in some districts induced the enrolled men of other districts, which were unable to offer corresponding induce- ments, to enlist on the quotas of their more wealthy competitors, who would thus escape the draft, while districts that had, in this manner, been stripped of their able bodied men, to such an extent perhaps that not more than enough were left to take care of the farms and carry on the most necessary business, would be obliged to submit to the still further exhaustion of the draft. The peculiar hardship and injustice resulting from such competition will be ap- parent when it is remembered that quotas were based on enroll- ment. If one township secured to its credit the enrolled men of another township, the latter was deprived of the means of filling its quota, while the Govermnent was defrauded of the men called for from the former to the extent that it had drawn upon the legiti- mate resources of other districts. The people of the localities where the largest bounties were paid regarded their munificent expenditure of money as a highly com- mendable exhibition of patriotism. Some of its practical effects were, however, directly the reverse of what a patriot would have desired. It relieved many of their own men from the performance •of their just share of military duty, and created deficits in the •quotas of less fortunate localities. Inequality in bounties was another evil growing out of the sys- tem, and was productive of much discontent and ill-feeling among the troops in the field. The amount of money required to procure a given number of recruits increased with each succeeding call until, in some sections of the Statte, the local authorities paid a local bounty of five hundred dollars per man.* And this was low compared with rates prevailing in the middle and eastern States, lin some of which one thousand dollars was not considered exhorbi- tant. The great disparity of benefits received was often strikingly illustrated by different portions of the same command. Men who •enlisted at the first call, influenced only by patriotic impulses, and with no expectation of bounty, were serving side by side with *The rate iu 18G:3 ranged from $10 to SlOO ; in 18G4 and 18'i5 from 8100 to 8500. FfLLING QUOTAS WITH "CREDITS?' 67 those who had joined them late in the war, enriched by their tardi- *ie.ss in responding to the call of a common duty. There was some excuse for murmuring when the veterans saw these men coming to the field at the eleventh hour, and reflected that these late recruits had enjoyed years of unprecedented opportunities for the successful prosecution of business, from which they had only been tempted at last, when the war was apparently over, by the influence of money. \ Veterans felt little inclination to fraternize with their new assoc'i- ^ ates, and were often disposed to indulge in bitter reflections and ■sarcastic comments. The impression prevalent throughout the North, as each suc- cessive call for troops was issued, that that call would be the last» tended greatly to increase the lavish expenditure of money in the shape of local bounties. Thus, in 1864, when the President issued his call of .luly 18th for five hundred thousand men, few, if any, supposed there would be occasion for another levy. "Let us promptly fill our quotas at whatever cost," was the general senti- ment, "for cur armies re-enforced by five hundred thousand men, will be able to give the finishing blow to the rebellion." Enormous' amounts were raised and the most energetic means employed to secure recruits. But the terms of the call provided for the reduc- tion of the number of men specified by giving credits to States for men previously furnished in excess of quotas, and for all men, not previously credited, who had enlisted in the naval service between April 19, 1861, and February 21th, 1864, and when the requirements of the call had been literally complied with, it was found to have produced but 240,000 men. A deficiency of 40,000 men was occa- sioned by the operations of the enemy in certain States, rendering It impracticable for them to furnish their full quotas. But the mam portion of this astounding deficiency, amounting to 220,000 men, was occasioned by credits secured for naval recruits, re-enlisted veterans and men previously furnished in excess of quotas.* While it is true that in most districts the people were honestly endeavor- ing to re-enforce the army, and that the grand success which was attained was mainly due to the effbrts of the State officials, zealous citizens and efficient committees, it is equally certain that many were engaged in " filling quotas " without any scruples as to the means employed. Brokers drove a thriving business in the pro- curement and sale of « credits," which were as valuable to town- App n Kx, n ,c. N'.j. \.

It is believed that most of the credit* obtained in this State, for men not actually furnished at the time the credits were made, were obtained by legitimate means in accordance with existing laws and orders, and for men who had entered the service as re-enlisted veterans or naval recruits. This vast discrepency between the credits secured by the States and the men obtained by the Government necessitated the issue of a supplementary call for three hundred thousand men, on the 19th of December, 1864. Under this call the most extravagant rates of bounty prevailed. The desire to escape the draft was so great that i n many localities all other considerations were forgotten. The neces- sity for'oble-bodied men to reenforce the army was overlooked by the masses, and every device was employved to get men enl.sted and credited, many of whom were entirely unfit for the service, and who, if accepted, had to be discharged without performing any duty, thus entailing enormous local taxation and a heavy expense upon the Government without contributing to the strength of the army. But however great the objections to the local bounty system, however numerous the avenues it opened to the practice of frauds it was unquestionably the only means of stimulating recruitmg and the only possible way of avoiding a draft, which in communities most firm in their support of the Government was regarded as a reproach upon their patriotism ; and although many of our leadmg military men, those whose positions are calculated to give great wei-ht to their expressed opinions, prefer conscription to any other mea'ns of raising armies, it is certain that their views will never become the established opinion of the people at large. If the country should again become involved in war, the same prejud.ce a-ainst involuntry service would be found to exist, and the differ- cut States would prefer to raise their quotas of troops by volun- teering, keeping conscription in reserve as a last resort. The opinion of our best men from experience and observation ,s that to avoid the ruinous effects of competition between different localities, the bounty should be uniform throughout the State and should, therefore, be regulated by State legislation. This uniform system should be put in operation at thecommencementof the war, or upon the first call for troops, before any section shall have fur- nished any portion of its quota. All parts of the State would then have an equal interest in and derive equal benefit from it, and there i 'BOUNTY— JUMPING. 69 would be no injustice in levying a State tax for the payment of the bounty or the redemption of State bonds issued to raise funds for that purpose. In this view of the matter I most earnestly concur. The bounty should be paid to the volunteer in pers-on by the »' proper State officers, without the interference of middle-men or brokers, and any agreement by a volunteer with any broker or agent for the payment to him of any part of the money so received should be declared void The most stringent provisions should be devised to protect recruits from the rapacity of this class of men, whose operations constitute one of the most disgraceful chapters in the history of the late war. Thus regulated by general legislation, the burdens equally divided and the benefits shared alike by the people of all parts of the State, it is believed that the local bounty system would be the best possible incentive to volunteer enlistments. BOUNTY-JUMPING. In the summer and autumn of 1864, many townships ija this State escaped the impending draft by offering large local bounties for volunteers to fill their respective quotas. Other townships, ■where the draft had been made, offered still larger bounties for sub- stitutes to take the places of those whose names had been drawn, but who had not yet been required to report at the designated ren- dezvous for duty. Liberal bounties were also offered by the Gov- ernment, a considerable installment of which, together with one month's pay, was paid on the muster of a recruit This unprecedented liberality of the Government and local authorities, while it served its intended purpose by promoting bona- fide enlistments, also opened the way for a vast amount of swind- ling on the part of individual operators, as well as for more exten- sive and systematized fraud of organized conspirators. Hordes of the worst class of men from every country in Europe, and the Biitish American provinces, deserters from the rebel army, thieves, pickpockets, and " roughs," mainly from our large cities,* thronged our recruiting stations, with a well assumed appearance of patriotic ardor. They were regularly enlisted and mustered in, "■Pruiust Marsliiil .GwiuayU's BeporL 70 ADJUTANT ffKNERAL,''s KEPOKT. received their bounties, advance pay and clothing. In a few hours their uniforms would be laid aside, and, donning citizen's dress, they would present themselves to another recruiting officer, and again go through the process of enlistment, mvister, and pay, under other names. Thus they would go from city to city, in many in- stances enlisting several times in the same locality, till their inge- nuity in devising disguises would become exhausted, and motives of personal safety, or the hope of a more profitable field of opera- tion elsewhere, would induce them to leave the State. Organized gangs of these men, employing various ageiicie;:; to avoid detection, and perhaps occasionally aided by the complicity of recruiting officers, would, in the eye of the law, " fill the quotas'' of townships, while the muster rolls of Provost Marshals exhibited only a lot of fictitious and assumed names, which, when called at the rendezvous, met with no response. One officer reported three hundred and eighty-nine enlistments, of which number more than two hundred had deserted almost immediately on receiving their bounties. This was an exceptional case, but it was too nearly paralelled by the returns and muster rolls of many of our Congres- sional Districts. It is not supposed that Indiana afforded special facilities for the successful prosecution of this infamous business, nor is it believed that our State was visited by so great a number of this class of " recruits " as other States where bounty money was more lavishly disbursed. But that thev came here in immense numbers is an established fact, and it is not less certain that several thousand names on our muster-rolls were but the various aliases of these scoundrels, some of whom succeeded in enlisting as many as twenty times, and, of course, secured that number of bounties, which would amount to about eight thousand dollars net gain. Thieves of every class found in the bounty jumping business agreeable employment. The danger of detection and punishment was less than in their usual criminal pursuits, while the proceeds of their operations required no after process to convert them into •Available funds. The business of substitute brokerage, and filling the quotas of delinquent districts on contracts was extensively and successfully prosecuted. Many of the parties who engaged in this business amassed considerable fortunes in a few weeks. Some of them, doubtless, owed their astonishing success to complicity with the- SPECIAL PREMIUMS FOR RECRUITS. 71 bounty-jumpers. Gross neglect of duty on the part of some recruit- ing officers, if not collusion and division of spoils between them and their absconding recruits, greally facilitated the business and enhanced the difficulties attending its suppression. The most stringent measures were adopted* to arrest an evil which not only involved the squandering of vast sums of money on the worst species of criminals, and the consequent encourage- ment of a most heinous crime, but threatened the indefinite protrac- tion of the war and jeopardized the ultimate success of the Union cause by filling regimental rolls with a formidable array of names which represented no corresponding force and were as useless for all practical purposes as if they had been copied from obsolete directories. Colonel A. J. Warner, Seventeenth Regiment V. R. C. com- manding the Post of Indianapolis, and the officers and men of his command, applied themselves in the most energetic and determined manner to the work of detecting and arresting this class of desert- ers. A large prison was prepared for their reception and a strong guard placed about it. Numerous squads were collected, manacled together and sent to different commands in the field where they generally embraced the first opportunity of deserting again, often joining rebel guerrilla bands, thus affording another illustration of the well known fact that the effective force of our army was little increased by the unpenitentiaried convicts and scoundrels who were so freely enlisted. Men, who had characters and self-respect to maintain, did the fighting and won the victories. A number of the worst bounty jumpers were tried by court martial, and three who were convicted of repeated desertions were publicly shot on the parade grounds near Camp Morton. The severe measures adopted, ultimately suppressed the evil in this State by convincing those engaged in the business that the prospect- ive gains were not commensurate with the inevitable risks.

Assistant Provost Marshal General for this State, in the exercise of the discretion allowed by instruc- tions from the Provost Mashal General, did not offer or pay any premiums under the above mentioned authority up to the 16th of November, 1863, when it was agreed between Colonel Baker and Governor Morton, that the best and niost equitable policy would be for the Governor to offer a premium of 86 for each accepted re- cruit for either new or old organizations, payable to the recruiting officer, the understanding being that the premiums authorized by the Provost Marshal General should be appropriated to the pay- ment of said $6 premiums. In this way, it was thought a sum could be derived from the premiums authorized to be paid for recruits for old organizations, sufficient to pay the reduced premi- ums for all organizations. The, premium being « reivard to the Yecruiting officer and not to the soldier, it was apparent that the object in view, to raise rnen, would be more certainly accomplished if no distinctions were made. It must be borne in mind that the regulations of the Provost Mashal General did not authorize any- thing to be paid for enlisting men for the new regiments. The plan of the Governor and Acting Assistant Provost Marshal Gen- eral was, therefore, intended to equalize the premiums so that all who were engaged in recruiting would share alike. While it was of the highest importance that the ranks of the old organizations should be filled, it was soon demonstrated that this end could not be fully accomplished by oflering a special premium to recruiting officers. The men who were willing to volunteer generally pre- ferred new regiments to old ones, and the Government was in no situation to refuse to accept them ; in fact, while every effort was being made to fill up the old organizations, calls were made for new ones, and recruiting offiicers were as much in need of funds to pay their expenses and as compensation for their trouble in the one case as in the other. PLAN OF PAYING PREMIUMS. 73 The plan to reduce the premiums to the uniform sum of $6, and apply it to all was accordingly proposed to the Provost Marshal General and assented to by that officer. On the 16th of Novem- ber, 1863, the Governor issued a circular to the following purport: All duly appointed recruiting officers for the new Indiana regi- ments (including colored troops) and all non-commissioned officers and privates duly detailed to recruit for old Indiana regiments and batteries — and none others — were entitled to a special pre- mium of ^6, for each man enlisted by them and duly accepted and mustered into the military service of the United States. The money was paid by the Governor from State funds in his hands, upon duplicate rolls carefully made up, properly receipted by the parties entitled to the premiums, and certified by the mustering and other officers having charge of the recruiting service. The payment of the premiums w^as at first limited to the 20th of December, 1863, but the quota not being filled by that time, payment was extended and made applicable to the same class of recruits up to the 5th of February, 1864, when Colonel Baker, Acting Assistant Provost Marshal General, received positive orders to offer to citizens and enlisted men a reward or premium of 825 for each veteran recruit, and 1)15 for each new recruit presented and accepted for old organizations only. At this time there had been enlisted for old regiments and bat- teries under the first arrangement, 3,241 "raw" recruits and 45 "veteran" recruits, the premiums for the same at ^15 and $25 each, amounting to the sum of $49,740. The Governor had also, through recruiting officers and agents appointed by him, recruited a much larger number of men for new organizations, and had paid for all alike the premium of $6. The plan worked well and proved to be a most effective means of recruiting. After the 5th of February, the Governor continued to pay $6 for each recruit presented, accepted and mustered into new regiments; between that date and the 1st of May, 1864, premiums for recruits for old organizations were paid through the Provost Marshal Gen- eral's Department at the advanced rate, as aforesaid. The wisdom of the Governor's course in continuing the payment of the $6 pre- mium was manifested in the number of recruits raised for the new regiments — no less than 8,505 recruits having been obtained for them under this plan. Upon final adjustment of the matter, it was ascertained that 11,791 recruits had been raised — the pre- 74 ADJUTANT GKNEKAl/s REPORT. mi urns paid by the Governor for the same amounting ro $79,746. Of this amount, the United States through the disbursing officer at Indianapolis, refunded on the 8th of September, 1864, the sum of 849,704. Leaving still due the State $20,006, for which reim- bursement is claimed from the United States. With the above exception, no premiums or bounties were offered or paid by the State. Local bounties, (paid by counties, townships and cities,) were an important inducement in recruiting volunteers, as has been fully described in a separate article on that subject in another part of this volume. RECRUITING FOR THE REGULAR ARMY FROM THE VOLUNTEER FORCES. Notwithstanding the very large number of recruits raised for the regular army in this State, during the years 1861—2, and the en- couragement given by the State authorities to this branch of the recruiting service, the War Department, on the 9th of October, 1862, undertook to complete all regular army organizations by en- listing the required number from the volunteers. There was no law for this remarkable proceeding, and no reason for it except that it was a short and easy way of accomplishing the end for which a host of regular officers had for months and months been detached at recruiting stations in all the principal cities and towns in the northern States. The regular army not being able to fill its own ranks, was to be allowed to deplete or break down the ranks of the volunteers. Such a plan was outrageous and unjust to the States, to the volunteer officers, and to the men whose transfer it was thus sought to obtain. Its tendency was to undo all that had been done; to destroy the efforts and influence of the Governors; hum- ble the pride of the States in their troops, and render necessary the muster-out or consolidation of all the skeleton organizations that might be left after the depleting process had performed its work. While the order only authorized the enlistment of volunteers, with their own consent — for either three years or for the remaining por- tion of the period of three years which they might have to serve, at their option — no leave to recruit was asked or required of regi- PROTEST OF THE GOVERNOR. 75 mental or company commatiders, but the regular army reeruiling ©ffi- cars were permitted, no matter where the volnnteers were serving, or however important their duties might be — even when in face of the enemy — to enlist all who were dissatisfied with their officers or with the volunteer service, withont regard to consequences. As an inducement, promotion to commissions in the regular army was held oat by the order. The recruiting officers, howeirer, were not at all particular about the kind of promises they made, or whether they were covered by the order or not ; furloughs were promised for thirty days, and it was given out in many cases that infantry volunteers would be allowed to enter the regular cavalry or artil- lery ; that they would remain in northern cities, or at posts on re- cruiting or guard duty, free from the deprivations and dangers in- cident to the field; that increased pay and allowance would be given, and especially that the pay would be more regular and cer- tain, the clothing and subsistence of better quality and issued \n larger quantities than to volunteers. The demoralizing effect of these attempts upon the gallant troops then in service may be easily imagined. Complaints came pouring in from all the officers whose commands were endangered by these '• attacks from the regulars," and the Governor was earnestly en- treated to use all his influence to cause the obnoxious order to be rescinded. Fully impressed with the danger, discontent and de- moralization, as well as the 'outrageous injustice that would grow out of this ill-advised and distasteful system of recruiting, he sent the following protest to the Secretary of War : * Executive Depaktment of Indiana, Indianapolis, October 29, 1862. Hon. E. M. Stanton, Secretary of War^ Washington City : SiK : The late order of the War Department, allowing officers of the regular army to recruit from volunteer regiments, is becoming a serious inconvenience,. and is a great embarrassment to officers of the volunteer corps who have spent con- siderable time and money in raising their regiments, and have labored hard to en- force discipline and make them efficient. I feel a deep interest in the prosjierity, welfare and success ©f Indiaoa regi- ments, and do not desire to see them unnecessarily embarrassed and deprived of men to whose services they are justly entitled by every right of justice and law. Many men are dissatisfied with the service, and if you attempt to compel them to- do their duty, they threaten to re-enlist in the regular army, and my officers are constantly appealing to me to call your attention to these facts, and request that tht- order be rescinded. No other oaie thing is creating so pernicious an influence oui the army as this, and I do trust that you will find it consistent of set the order aside« By order of tiie Governor : W. R. Hollo way, Private Secretary- 76 ADJTDTANT GENERAL'S REWKT. Attempts to recruit from the volunteers were not confined alone, to regiments in the field Recruiting officers swarmed around post hospitalsi, and by brilliant promises and false representations pro- cured many convalescents and hospital atendants, of the volunteers, to enlist as regulars. In November, 1862, when the camps of ren- dezvous at Indianapolis contained a large number of volunteers who were rapidly being organized for the field, a heavy onslaught was made by the regulars to obtain recruits. The order of the War Department being in full force, its execution could not be resisted, but the Governor determined it should not be enforced in his camps by means of a wilful misrepresentation of facts. He therefore addressed the following communication to the Superintendent of the United States' Recruiting Service for Indiana: " Executive DErARTMEXx of Ixmana, " Indianapolis, November 2atb, 1862. ^ Colonel H. B. Cakrington, Superintendent United States Recruiting Service for Indiana : ■K SiK — The practice of allowing Uuited States recruiting officers to recruit from volunteer regiments, now about ready to take the field, is demoralizing and detri- mental to the public service in the highest degree. I most earnestly protest against it. It is the invariable rule of these officers, I am informed, to hold out false in- ducements and misrepresent facts to secure recruits. In some instances volunteers who have left their regiments and joined regular companies have, after discovering the frauds practiced upon them, returned and desired to be reinstated in their original places with the volunteers. "I regard the whole matter as a great outrage, and if continued it will, I fear, greatly retard the movement of troops now under marching orders.

Finally, on the lOtli of February, 1863, the War Department ir- .seif became satisfied that the regular army ought not to be sus- tained by this plan of recruiting, the progress of the war having made the fact plain that if the rebellion was ever put down it must be done by the gallantry and overwhelming numbers of the volunteer soldiery of the country. All orders authorizing the en- listment of volunteers in the regular array were, therefore, re- scinded. HANCOCK'S FIRST ARMY CORPS. On the 28th of ISovember, 1864, an order was issued by the War Department for raising and organizing twenty thousand in- fantry under command of Major General Winfikld S. Hancock, U. S. A., to be enlisted for not less than one year, to be designated the First Army Corps, and to be completed in the District of Colum- bia within one month from the 1st day of December. The privates were to consist only of able-bodied veterans who had served hon- orably, not less than two years, and therefore not subject to the draft; the officers to be commisioned by the President from such 78 ADJUTANT OENERAL's KErOKT. as had honorably served not less than two years. The details ac- rompanying the order required each recruit to be first examined by the Surgeon of the Board of Enrollment, theu to i)resent him- ^eU to any United States District Provost Marshal, who, if the applicant appeared to be qualified, would furnish a free transporta- tion pass to Washington, where the recruit would be duly enlisted ;md mustered into service. Each recruit was entitled to a special bounty of $300 at the time of muster in ; also the regular govern- ment bounty payable in installments, as allowed to other troops, and was required to be credited to the district in which he resided, which of course would entitle him to such local bounty as the locality to which he was credited was paying at the time. These orders were forwarded to Governor Moiiton on the 5th of December, and his co-operation and influence requested in recruit- ing veterans for the Corps. It seems a little strange, with all the experience gained by the War Department in raising enormous armies during the three first years of the war, such an embarrassing requirement should have been made, in the order already described, as compelled the recruit to take all the trouble upon himself of being examined by a medi- cal officer and the Provost Marshal, and then to go all the way to Washington at his own expense, except transportation, before he could be enlisted and mustered — with the possible chance, after all, that he might be finally rejected. The veterans, whom it was de- sired to recruit, did not all live at the same places where the Pro- vost Marshals' offices were located. This involved travel, and perhaps detention at headquarters, for a day or two, to be exam- ined, and all this at the soldier's own expense. Then should he be accepted upon arrival at Washington, his local bounty would remain unadjusted, and he would be in danger of being cheated out of it, or at least charged heavily to get it, besides (it is a sup- posable case), should the cars fly the track and maim him while en route to the "District of Columbia," it is not likely that he would then be received into the service at all, or that the Government would pay him a pension, or that he could even get a " free tran.s« portation pass" back to his home. Soldiers of two years service were not, as a general rule, either lacking in shrewdness or indiffer- ent to their own interests. A.t the time the effort was made to raise the Corps, it will be remembered that there was no difficulty anywhere in finding opportunities to enlist in new or old regiments. COLORED TROOPS. 79 The only difference was in the special bounty offered by the Corps, and this in most cases was doubtless overbalanced by the extra trouble involved, and the preference most recruits had for new .regiments, where the chances of promotion," especially to veterans, were better, and where they would be associated with friends and acquaintances of their old neighborhoods. It will thus be seen that the proposed plan was about as objectionable and embarrass- ing as it could well have been made. The objections above mentioned were apparent to the Governor as soon as he read the order, but he very cheerfully consented to do what he could to encourage recruiting under the proposed plan. At the same time he suggested his doubts to the Secretary of War, of the success of the movement, and offered to raise two regiments of veterans for the Corps, if permitted to recruit and organize them in the same way other regiments were recruited in this State. This offer was rejected. The time for enlisting the Corps was extended, and about the middle of February, 1865, the order was so modified as to permit recruits to be mustered at Indianapolis before being forwarded to Washington. Recruiting conlinued in an unsuccessful way until the surrender of Lee. The reports on file in this office show^ that only one hundred and sixty-eight men were raised for the Corps in this State. COLORED TROOPS. When the determination was first announced by the Government to organize colored troops, (May, 1863,) the state of public feeling in the West was not altogether favorable to the employment of that class of persons as soldiers. A number of officers in Indiana regiments had already resigned on account of their hostility to the President's Proclanaation of Freedom to the enslaved, and the preju- dices of years against the colored man were revived and inflamed whenever they could be aroused by the influence and arguments of" those citizens whose political importance had always been subser- vient to the slave power. The Indiana troops, however, stood fast and evinced in the strongest form their desire to put down the rebellion with the assistance of any means consistent with civilized 80 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. warfare; though many, no doubt, who deserted in 186:2-3 were induced to do so by their pretended friends at home on ihe ill-founded pretext that the war was a " nigger war" — " to free the niggers" — "to elevate the nigger and make him equal to the white man," etc. But the excitement in regard to the proclamation and the order for enlisting colored troops raged mostly among those who were not in the army and took no part in the war except by endeavoring to weaken the power of the Government and by giving their sympathy to the rebellion. Public opinion, however, rapidly strengthened on the negro question, and it was not long until all material opposition to the employment of colored troops was narrowed down to those who, no matter what was done to carry on the war, doggedly and determinedly maintained their hostility to the full extent their per- sonal safety would admit. Referring to the Emancipaticn Proclamation, Governor Morton, in his annu:d message, January, 1863*, used the following language : " The President has issued his proclamation, offering freedom to slaves held in certain of the rebellious States. It remains to be seen what efiect this proclama- tion will have in suppressing tlie rebellion; but whetlier it be eflectual or not, for the purpose for which it was intended, the authority upon which it was issued is beyond question. " If the rebels do not desire the Government of the United States to interfere with their slaves, let them cease to employ them in the prosecution of the war. They siiould not use them to build fortifications, manage their baggage trains, perform all the labor of the camp and tho-jnarch, and above all, to raise provisions upon which to subsist their armies. If they employ the institution of slavery as an instrument of war, like other instruments of war, it Is subject to destruction. Deprive them of slave labor, and three-tburths of the men composing their armies would be compelled to return home to raise food upon which to subsist themselves and families. If they are permitted to retain slave labor, they are enabled to maintain their armies in great force, and to destroy that force we are compelled to shed much of our best blood. Let us not be more tender of their property than we are of our blood." These sentiments were generally reechoed by the people of the ^tate who favored a vigorous proecution of the war, but no effort was made to raise colored troops to be credited upon our quotas tuitil the 30rh of November, 1863, when, in reply to an application, the War Department authorized the Governor to raise a battalion or regiment under the regulations governing the colored branch of the service. He had requested this authority, not so much because our colored citizens were anxious to enter the service, as for the *.\ppendix Doc. No. U4, pages SlU, 317. 'veteran KESE'RVE 'CORfS. '81 reason that the State had been and was overrun with recmitlng agents representing other States, and he had found it necessary-, to prevent the men from being enticed a\vay and credited elsewhere, to issue an order, (November 5th, 1863,) warning all persons so en- gaged to desist from procuring substitutes or further eGlistnnents, nnder penalty of being arrested and summarily punished. Orders for recruiting the colored regiment or battallion were promulgated ■on the 8d of December, and a camp of rendezvous established at Indianapolis, with WilliajM P. Fishback, Esq., as commandant. Six companies wea^e raised aggregating five hundred and eighteen enlisted men. The battalion was afterwards recruited up to a fisil vegifnent in Maryland, and was known as the Twenty-eighth United States Colored.* Under the calls of July and December, 1864, a number of colored substitutes were furnished by drafted men in this State, and for- W^arded to colored regiments in the field. The total number of colored men raised in the State is reported by the Provost Marshal General at one thousand five hundred and thirty-seve«, though probably not over eight hundred were credited upon our quotas — the balance having been recruited hj other States as before ex- f)lained-. VETEHAN RESERVE CORlPS. One of the peculiar features of the war, was the organization know^n as the Invalid Corps, afterwards the Veteran Reserve Corps, No similar organiEation is to be met with in history. The idea contemplated in the formation of this Corps was to give employ- ment in military duty to all soldiers who had been by the casualties of the service rendered physically unable to endure the fatigues and hardships of active campaigning in the field. During the early months of the war, indeed, during nearly the whole of the first two years, the percentage of soldiers disabled and discharged on account of sickness was unusually large. Both officers and men Were destitute of the knowledge, gained only by *For a more extended account of the organization and services of this gallant regiment see Vol' III of this Keport, pages 382--3% ^ Vol. 1.— 7. 82 aDjl'tant general's kepokt. experience, as to the means necessary to preserve health nnder ihe novel and arduon.s duties of military life. The Medical Oificerstoo, were com}x»Il('d to work under great embarrassment in this new field, and the hospital accommodations of the army were fear- fully limited. Then there was an impression abroad, in both pub- lic and official circles, that there were more men in the field than were needed to bring the war to a closCy and that the interests of the country demanded the discharge of all men who were disabled from severe and active duty. Thus a very lax system of discharges was adopted, which resulted in thinning, the ranks of early regi- ments to an alarming extent. To form some idea of the extreme to which this depleting process was carried, reference may be had to an order issued in July 1862 by General Buell, commanding the Army of the Ohio, concerning the absentees from his command, in which he stated that one fourth of his army was absent from the field, the greater portion of the absentees being in hospitals, or at home on sick furloughs, and he directed that there should be a muster in every regiment on the 18th of August and all men absent at that time were to be discharged. Similar orders were issued by other commanders and were so far carried into effect that, by the end of the year 1862 more than one third of the men of the regiments of 1861, were out of the service. The number of officers discharged was also very large, as but few of the resignations tendered were disapproved. The evils of these wholesale discharges soon became manifest, but though the whole system of discharge was afterward radically changed, so that not a single private soldier was released from service, except after the most thorough examination had shown his utter unfitness for military duty, yet great mischief had already been done, and thoughtful minds were busy in trying to devise expedients for repairing it as far as possible. The men and officers thus discharged at the beginning of the struggle, were those who had enlisted without bounties when the first blow was struck, and were generally conspicuous in their respective communities for their patriotism and public spirit. For the most part they were not con- tent to remain idle spectators of the conflict, but were anxious to do whatever their strength would allow towards bringing the war to a close. In addition to these men, there were thousands of others in the hospitals and convalescent camps of the army who were unfitted for active duty and awaiting discharges, who could ORGANIZATION OF DISABLED SOLDIERS. 83 not be employed to any considerable extent on account of lack of organization and the possibility of being returned to their com- mands when their strength should be in some degree restored, even if it were only to be returned to the hospital again after a short time. It was to make available the services of the classes of men above mentioned, that the War Department determined upon the organi- zation of an Invalid Corps. The order for this purpose was issued April 28th 1863. The Corps was to be organized under the direc- tion of the Provost Marshal General and subject to his orders. Two battalions were to be formed ; the first, of men able to carry muskets and perform guard, garrison and general provost duties ; the second, of those capable of only the lightest duties, such as clerks, hospital attendants, etc. The first battalion was afterwards organized into regiments, but the second battalion never had any other than company organizations. Applicants for commissions in the new corps were required to be honorably discharged officers of the volunteer or regular forces, and were compelled to pass a rigid examination before a board of intelligent and experienced officers ; and they, as well as the en- listed men, were also carefully examined by competent surgeons as to their physical fitness. Though the disabled men were wanted, those who were incompetent for work were uniformly rejected. Recruit- ing officers were appointed to re-enlist men for the corps from those who had been discharged from the service, and orders were sent to Medical Directors, directing the transfer of partially disabled men who were still carried on the rolls of their respective- regiments. It is proper to state here, that the officers of the corps were nearly all drawn from those who had been discharged from the service, while very few enlisted men were obtained from that source. The reason for this is probably found in the fact, that credits for local bounties were not given for this class of recruits until a late day, and the men preferred — those who could be ac-- cepted — enlisting in organizations where they could receive the benefit of the bounties. Enlisted men were, however, transferred from the troops in the field in large numbers. They were ex- amined as to their peculiar fitness for the duties required of the corps, and lists forwarded of such as were approved to the War Department, and the transfers were made by General Orders from the Secretary of War, giving the name, rank and regiment of eachi 84 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. man transferred. They were then dropped from the rolls of their regiments, and were subject only to the orders issued for their new commands. In some instances, when their strength became fully restored, they were re-transferred to their original regiments, though such instances were rare. The men transfern^d were en- titled to discharge at the expiration of the time of their original enlistment, and generally, when a regiment was mustered out of the service, the men who had been transferred from its ranks to the Veteran Reserve Corps were also entitled to discharge. After the close of the war, when regiments were discharged before their terms had expired, the transferred men were for a time held to the expiration of their original terms ; but this being manifestly unjust, brought forth innumerable complaints, and after repeated and urgent remonstrances from the State authorities the rule was re- laxed, and the men were relieved from service whenever their original regiments were discharged,, if they so desired. The magnitude of this corps and its importance to the country, may be inferred from the fact that just before the surrender of LE»i, it comprised twenty-four complete regiments, and one hundred and fifty-three independent companies, numbering 764 commissioned officers and 28,738 enlisted men. These were nearly all men whose services would not have been available in any other way, and they •did full duty; if not in the field, they relieved other troops from ser- vice in the rear, and enabled our commanders to use all their able- -bodied soldiers at the front. The general duties of the corps con- sisted principally in guarding rebel prisoners, assisting the Provost Marshals in enforcing the enrollment and draft, arresting deserters, ■escorting recruits, drafted men and substitutes to the front, keeping -order at home, and crushing conspiracies of rebel sympathizers lin the North, performing provost duties in northern cities, and guarding all kinds of Government stores and property. The regiments stationed at Indianapolis were the Fifth, Colonel, afterwards Brevet Brigadier General, A. A. Stevens, commanding; and the Seventeenth, Colonel, afterwards Brevet Brigadier General, A. J. Warner, commanding. They attained great perfection in drill, and in zeal and faithfnlness were not probably surpassed by any troops engaged in similar duties. The Fifth had charge of ■Camp Morton rebel prison, and the Seventeenth was assigned to general, provost and miscellaneous duty. The report of General APPOINTMENTS AND PROMOTIONS. 85 Warner, published in the appendix of this voiuaie will be read with interest.* The corps continued in service until very nearly all the troops of the volunteer array were discharged, the regiments on duty here being relieved December Ist, 1865. Many of the officers were, however, retained for duty in the border and Southern States un- der the Freedraen's Bureau. So successful was the corps in the discharge of its peculiar duties, that the system has been incorpor- ated into our regular army, and four of the regular regiments are now formed from men partially disabled, upon the same plan as the old organization, so that the Government is able to give honorable and useful employment to many of its maimed and disabled heroes, and the Veteran Reserve Corps has not become a thing of history merely, but will probably be a valuable and vital element in the armies of the nation for years to come. APPOINTMENTS AND PROMOTIONS. APPOINTMENTS IN NEW ORGANIZATIONS. The duty of appointing field, staff and line officers for the vol- unteer force, under the three months' call, and under the calls which resulted in the formation of a number of regiments for one and three years, prior to July 22d, 1861, devolved upon the .Gov- ernor, under orders of the President and the laws of the United States regulating the militia.f On the 22d of July an Act was passed by Congress, " to author- ize the employment of Volunteers to aid in enforcing the laws and protecting public property," which expressly conferred upon the Governors of States power to commission all regimental and com- pany officers required for the volunteers raised in their respective States, which power was continued until the close of the war. When the vast interests at stake in the organization of the vol- unteer army are considered, involving the life and honor of the nation, the welfare and good fame of the State furnishing the '■'Appendix, Doc. No. 84. •j- Under the game authority, the Governor appointed Thomas A. Morris and Joseph J. Keynolds Brigadier Generals, and also their staff officers. 86 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. troops, and the individual well being of the volunteers themselves, the importance and responsibility connected with the exercise of tiie appointing power will be seen to have been very great. In Indiana, at the commencement of the war, there were but few men of any military skill or experience. The Mexican war, in which we were represented by only five regiments, whose term of service was one year, furnished a number of officers and men whose previous service in the field, though limited, was of much value, and whose example, in promptly responding to the call of the Government, gave great encouragement to the loyal cause. Aside from this element, and, perhaps half a dozen graduates of the West Point Military Academy, the material for officers was wholly raw and inexperienced. For twenty-five years preceding the war, there had been no regularly organized militia, and conse- quently no benefits could be derived from that source, in the expe- rience of either officers or men. Military instruction on the parade ground, and in our schools and colleges, had received no attention. At any time, and under the most favorable circumstances, the selection and appointment of military officers is responsible and difficult; but especially so when the force to be officered is com- posed of volunteers, rapidly raised, and intended for immediate service. Time can not be taken to educate and qualify, by thorough drill and discipline, the persons who may be designated to com- mand, and the only course that can be pursued in such a contin- gency is to select clear-headed, honorable men, whose patriotism may prompt them to become soldiers, trusting to the future to de- velope, by active ♦servdce, the qualities that go to make up the suc- cessful commander. The judgment of the appointing power is taxed heavily; but as the judgment of every one, when compelled to estimate the untried abilities and fitness of others, is greatly de- pendent upon and influenced by recommendations, importunities? and surrounding circumstances, the liability to make mistakes is enhanced immensely. Touching this matter. Governor Morton, in his anuual message of 1865, made the following remarks : "The duty of appointing ofticers to command our regiments is full of responsi- bility and embarrassment. I have couiniissioiied many whom I did not know, and for whose fitness 1 was compelled to rely entirely upon the opinion of others. But it affords me gratification to state that the Indiana officers, as a body, have been found equal to tho^e of any other State ; that they have, upon every battle field, sustained the great cause, and shed lustre upon the flag under which they fought. THE ELECTIVE PRINCIPLE. 87 Many have been appointed to high commands, in which thev have acquitted them- selves with the greatest honor and ability, and very many have nobly laid down their lives in battle for their country." Under the liberal ideas which prevail in this country, and the in- dependent spirit which animates all classes of citizens from which the armies of the republic are drawn, the views and wishes of the volunteers regarding their own officers, must to a certain degree, and very properly, be consulted. The elective principle, always' popular and in harmony v^ith the spirit of our laws and institu- tions, is, in this country, when applied to selections for official station, most itj favor; and, under circumstances like those exist- ing in Indiana at the outbreaking of the rebellion, the aoplication of this principle, in the selection of company officers at least, is perhaps the safest that could be adopted At a time when all stand upon the same level as to military experience, elections give assurance of fairness, and impartiality which can alone sati.-fy the expectation and demands of such a people as ours. In the organization of our forces, the' Governor, from tlie com- mencement, recognized the justice of giving due consideration to the preferences of the men when expressed either by election or petition, yet he never yielded his right and duty to make different selections if, in his own judgment, the public interests would be benefitted thereby. In 1861, the general plan above described was mamly pursued, though in a number of cases gentlemen were authorized to raise companies and regiments with the understand- ing that they would be commissioned to command them. The most successful and satisfactory plan, and one that was adopted after a iew regiments had been raised, was to call for a regiment from a particular locality, generally a Congressional Dis- trict, and appoint a commandant to supervise the recruitment of the same, expressly stipulating, however, that such appointment did not confer the right to a commission to command the force when completed, but leaving the selection of officers open until the time for organization arrived. In this way all the material of companies and regiments was developed and opportunity was thus afforded to select the most worthy, the rale being to officer each regiment from its own members, or from those engaged in recruit- ing it, if qualified and fit persons could be found therein. The claims of those who performed the labor and incurred the expense oi raismg the troops, were never intentionally overlooked, their 88 ADJUTANir genekal's REP\5-RT. standing nnd qualifications being taken into con.-^ideiration. Tfi-tMr (>fl"orts and influence, and the outlay of lime and money necessa- rily incurred, entitled them to this co-nsideratiorr at the haiids of the Executive, The following statistics in this connection will be intere&tins: The whole number of commissions issued during the war by Governor Morton was 18,884. Of tl>ese 6,243 were original ap- pointments made upon the organization of regiments and batteries- for the voiunteer service; 9,187 were promotions to fill vacancies iu the same service; 3,15ft were appoiiatments in the Indiana Licgion; aiKl 29<3 were appcintments of officers of the draft of 1862. Reference is liereby made to the statistical "table of commissions- issued," publislied in; tlie appendix of this volume.* APPOINTMENTS TO FILL VACANCIES. But few vacancies occurred in commissioned officers until the* cold weather of 1861 set in, which brought in its- train much ex- posure and hardship and induced disease to an extent not hitherto known in our army. These causes and a somewhat rigid enforce- ment of the taw of Congress,f authorizing department and army commanders to appoint examining boards " to investigate the- capacity,, qualifications, propriety of conduct and efficiency of com- missioned officers,"" created many vacancies, anjl it became neces- sary, therefore, for the Governor to adopt rules for filling the same As in cases of original appointment^ there was no law or authori- tative regulation applicable to volunteers on this subject, and the limited experience gained in the war up to that time afforded but little light in devising rules of promotion which would in a just and satisfactory w^ay meet the variety of cases constantly occurring. In filling vacancies the g^ood of the service was of course the first paramount object to be attaiued. The rights of officers^ non-com- missioned officers and privates, still serving with the command in which a vacancy existed and the harmontf so essential ta efficient service, were also important points. But there were difficulties in alway.-i getting au exact and fair understanding of the situation of affairs in the command so as to- enable the Governor to know how the public interest could be best advanced, or the rights of officers and men most surely protected, which made his duty in these re- *Appcndix Doc.

The arbitrary rule of promotion observed in the regular army — senioiit j in rank without reference to companies — can not, for various and obvioiiis reasons, be made applicable to our volunteers. Our com. pame& are raised usually from separate counties, and regiments arc formed as nearly as practicable from the troops of neighboring counties. The men generally know each other and are acquainted with their officers, cither personally or by reputation. Their organ- izations are homogeneous and they expect to stand or fall together. To change this status when vacancies occur in the field by appoint- ing or promoting outsiders, or strangers, with whom they have no acquaintance or affiliation, ignoring eiitirely the claims of all who belong to the particular company or command in which the vacancy exists; or by "jumping," as it w^as called, one not in the line of promotion over one " iu the line" entitled to be advanced, would be productive of the greatest injury and demoralization. The true rule of promotion then, it is assumed^ is that eacb.company and regimental organizatian is by right entitled to have all vacancies filled from its own members, provided they possess the proper qual- ifications. In other words, vacancies should be filled by the pro- motion of the next officer in "the regular line" in each company,, unless objections on account of incompetency, immoral habits, ot unfitness be presented by the regimental officers; and vacancies in the field and stafi" should be subject to the same rule*. From the outset Governor Morton acted upon this rule, and its. manifest justice and the general satisfaction it gave^ warrants this explicit detail. Objections to it were frequently made and promo- tions insisted upon by officei^, entirely at variance with its pro- visions. A general order was therefore issued on the 1st of January,. 1862,t and forwarded to all officers in the field clearty setting forth the regulations v^^hich would govern promotions in the future. An additional order on the same subject^ but somewhat mcwre explicit? was issued Jar^uary 25th, 1865^. A few days after the battle of Pittsburg Landing the attention of the Governor was called by a letter from Major General Halleck^ *The Adjutant, Quartermaster and Commissary were not considered as being in any line of pro- motion and were not rjllowed to "jump " to positions in the field or line over others entitled, unlBsa- upon the recommendation of a majority of the officers of the command and special fitness being, sliown.

The General expressed regret that the Generals commanding had not the power to reward merit and bravery on the field, and appealed to the justice of the Governor, urging that "to reward service in the field by prompt promotion is one of the greatest incentives to individual action, as it is a special mark of personal merit." The Governor had visited the army in person frequently, and fully appreciated and concurred in General Halleck's suggestions. He therefore issued a circular* under dafe of April 23d, 1862, requesting general and field officers commanding Indiana regiments to report and recommend for promotion all commissioned officers, non-commis- sioned officers and privates who merited it by reason of gallant and distinguished conduct in any engagement with the enemy. Such recommendations were made frequently, and always met with favorable attention. In the moiTth of September, 1863, it was shown by reports to this Department that a number of the first regiments raised were so much reduced as to have less than one hundred and fifty effective men each. Numerous vacancies existed, but promotions could not be made, however meritorious and deserving the men who were ^' in line of promotion " might be ; for the regulations would permit only a certain number of officers to be mustered when a command become reduced below its minimum. The Governor, therefore, proposed a plan to the War Department for recruiting for these regiments, which, if successfully carried out, would enable all vacancies to be filled, and at the same time add material strength to the army which was then so much needed. The proposition was favorably entertained by the General-in-Chief, and on the 7th of October, 1863, an order was issued through the War Depart- ment,! addressed to the Generals commanding the several military departments in which Indiana troops were serving, directing that there be detailed for recruiting from each company of the regi- ments designated by Governor Morton, one non-commissioned officer or private* and that said non-commissioned officer or jiri- vate, if there be a vacancy for a commissioned officer in his com- pany, should be entitled to promotion on recruiting his company to the minimum standard. Requisitions for these details were promply ^Appendix, Doc. Xo. 9G. tAppenduc, Uoc. No. 98. X PROMOTIONS FROM OLD REGIMENTS CHECKED. 91 responded to by most of the old and worn-down regiments. The men were stationed in different parts of the State, where their companies were originally formed, and succeeded in raising a large number of recriiits. The plan was carried on through the winter of 1863--4 with much success, and enabled many energetic and worthy non-commissioned officers and privates to secure the pro- motion which they had so long desired. PROMOTIONS FROM OLD TO NEW REGIMENTS. During the entire continuance of the war, the authorities of this State were engaged in recruiting troops, and new organizations were always in process of formation. The difficulty in making selections of officers for new regiments, from inexperienced and un- tried citizens, has already been alluded to. With the view of avoiding thi% difficulty, the Governor determined to avail himself of the ability and experience which the steady progress of the war had developed in officers and men belonging to the "old" regi- ments. Numerous promotions were thus made with good effect, and the new regiments thus officered were put in condition, through the efforts and knowledge of these experienced officers, to take the field in a comparatively short time. In furtherance of this plan, de- tails from old regiments were often requested by the Governor of commissioned and non-commissioned officers and privates, who had shown ability to assume higher positions, for the purpose of assisting in recruiting under new calls, with the intention of giving them increased rank. To such an extent were these promotions made, the Secretary of War, by direction of the President, on the 14th of August, 1862, felt it to be necessary to issue an order, of which the following is an extract : " The exigencies of the service require that officers now in the field should re- main with their commands, and no officer now in the field, in the regular or volun- teer service, will, under any circumstances, be detailed to accept a new command." This order completely checked the promotion of old officers, which had proved so advantageous in insuring early discipline and thorough drill to the new troops. The Governor made an earnest effort to have the order rescinded, but, as the following telegram from the Secretary of War will show, without success : " Our armies being in the face of the enemy, officers in the field can not be spared for any purpose. The same reason applies to absent officers ; if fit for any duty, they should be with their commands, and not leave their men exposed o 92 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. danger without officers. If on detached duty, it niii:^t bj performed. Tlie princi,.le ou which the order stands, is, tliat soldiers in the fiekl require their officers' presence." Thus matters rested until October following, when the present Adjutant General, then acting as Military Secretary, was des- patched to Washington, to urge upon the Government such a modification of the foregoing order as the demands of the service seemed to require. Through this effort it was finally agreed by the War Department, that, in cases, where the fact was known to the Governor, that the condition of regiments would admit of officers being spared to accept new commissions, promotions might be made. This modification was all that was required, and pro- motions were made as before, at every convenient opportunity. PROMOTIONS IN MEDICAL STAFF. In the early stages of the rebellion, but little difficulty was expe- rienced in officering our regiments with Surgeons and Assistant Surgeons of the first-class in the profession. But after the lapse of about a year very considerable trouble was experienced in securing medical officers of established reputation and ability. The pres- sure for appointments from students, new'ly diploma-ized JV'I. D.'s, and others whose opportunities for practice had been limited, v^^as at all times very great. To Surgeons of standing, whose patri- otic impulses led them to offer their services, or who thought of doing so, it became very plain, after the winter campaign of 1861- 62, that the duties of a faithful Surgeon in the army were much more laborious than those devolving upon private practice at home ; and it was also thought that the pay allowed by the Government was, for the professional services of accomplished and experienced medical men, niggardly and inadequate. It is but fair to presume that the members of this profession are as patriotic and self-sacri- ficing as men of any other calling in life, but it is nevertheless true that a large majority of those who entered the service in the regiments of 1861-2, (much greater indeed than of any other mili- tary position in proportion to the number appointed,) did not re- main until the close of their terms. The general reason for this I think may be found in the fact that, however faithful and de- voted a Surgeon might be, there was no provision for promotion, and no hope for any.* In other bran ches of the service promotion *ABsi8tant Surgeons might be, and frequently were, promoted to Surgeons, but that was tbe extent. PROMOTIONS IN THE ARTILLERY DENIED. 03 was generHlIy sure and rapid, and it would be strange indeed if medical officers did nt^t feel the same ambition for advancement in rank and pay as was universally felt by others. Another reason of perhaps nearly equal weight, with these officers, was the dangers that beset their own personal health. A Surgeon actively en- fifasfed with volunteers — his friends and neighbors — in the field, if disposed to perform his part, can never be idle; day and night, in bivouac, or on the march, and especially in battle, he must be very constantly at his post. The nature of his duties interdicts the granting of leave of absence to visit home, or recruit impaired health, to a much greater extent than the other officers ; but doubt- less the principal cause of the many resignations and the prevail- ing repugnance on the part of medical men of ability to entering the service, v^^as the ungenerous policy of denying them promotion with increase of pay and emoluments equal to that of other posi- tions of like responsibility and importance. PROMOTIONS IN THE ARTILLERY- The officers of Batteries of Lig-ht Artillery furnish another striking instance of injustice in denying promotion. The War Department refused our State the privilege of regimental organiza- tions for her light artillery, although the subject was often pressed and urged by the authorities upon the Government with great per- tinacity and earnestness. So our twenty-six batteries, comprising originally about four thousand men, were sent to the field without the hope or prospect of a single promotion, except such as might be given in filling company vacancies occasioned by the casualties of the service. These batteries bore a conspicuous and distinguished part in putting down the rebellion; many of them performed deeds of valor equal to any regiment that ever fought, but their officers were forced to content themselves with the modest rank of Cap- tains and Lieutenants. The Governor did what he could to reme- dy this by promoting, when opportunity offered, artillery officers to higher places in new cavalry regiments, but the well-being of the batteries only allowed him to take this course in a few instances. Reference has been made to these inequalities in the hope that should another war unfortunately afflict our country, the great in- justice hinted at will not be repeated. 94 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. HONORARY MUSTERS. Notwithstanding the efforts of the Government, always heart- Ay seconded by the Military Authorities of this State, to re- cruit old regiments and batteries to their maximum strength in preference to the formation of new organizations, many of the older commands during the last years of the war were reduced be- low their minimum strength. By the regulations of the War Department, framed with more regard to the economy of the service than the merits of individuals such commands were not entitled to a full roster of officers. It was however the practice in this State to promote and commission meritorious officers to such rank as they were entitled to in the regular line of promotion, without reference to the strength of their regiments or companies. Such commissions, though they might be of no practical advantage in securing increase of pay and emolu- ments, were regarded as a proper evidence of appreciation, a de- served mark of distinction and respect. At the close of the war while preparations were being made for the muster out of large numbers of volunteer officers with their commands, Governor Morton addressed a communication to the Secretary of War* earnestly requesting that all field and staff offi- cers then in the service, who had been promoted and commissioned to higher grades, but had not been mustered into such grades by reason of their regiments or companies being reduced below the minimum, should hs so mustered in upon their said commissions at the date of their muster out. This would give them simply the rank to which, had their commands not been reduced below the minimum, they would have been entitled. It was urged, that while such a muster could furnish no claim for increase of pay or in any other manner affect the pecuniary rela- tions between the Government and the officers interested, it would be regarded by them as a grateful tribute of respect, an appropriate recognition of their faithful services in the suppression of the rebel- lion and the restoration of the Government. And it seemed no more than an act of simple justice, that officers, who had assunied the responsibilities and performed the duties of the offices to which they had been promoted, should have the titles, conferred by their ^Appendix, Doc. No. 129. CREPITS FOR TROOP'S FURJUSHED. 9^5 commissionsy confirmed by authority of the Governri;ent in an honorary mijster. The executive authorities of Illinois, Pennsylvania, Wisconsio and other States, whose co-operation was solicited, cordially ap- proved the suggestion of Governor Morton^ and wrote to the Secretary of War recommending its favorable consideration, A^ it was confidently expected that the War Department would take favorable action in the matter, commanding officers of regiments and batteries were informed of the action of the Executive and requested to forward the nsual recommendations ; and tipon receiv- ing these, all vacancies in fieldy staff and company offices were promptly filled by promotion. With Ihe issue of these commissions however, the movement ended. The Secretary of War declined to order the honorary musters on the ground that such action might be held to justify the presentation of claims for extra pay and allowances and lead to troublesome complications. While this decision is to be regretted as having deprived many gallant officers of a proper record in the national archives of the rank to which they had really attained, it cannot deprive them of what is more valuable, the consciousness of having earned that record, nor can it lessen the esteem in which they are held by their late companions in arms, and they will have the further satisfactioti of knowing that their rank and services are faithfully recorded in the military archieves of their own State. CREDITS FOR TROOPS FURNISHED. The War Department, (even after the war) did not give the State credit for the number of troops actually furnished, and the most troublesome difficulties grew out of this failure at different times during the war. No adjustment at all was .attempted until the first draft was ordered in August 1862, and then, the settlement was arbitrary and incorrect, for it was afterwards shown that up to that time Indiana had an excess of 25,544 three years' men. The call was for nine months' men, and the quota 21,250, which being reduced to the three years' standard, only required 5,312 men, leav- ing the State still in excess 20,232 three years' men, applicable to 96 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. fature calls. The Governor was fully satisfied that a correct ac* couiUiiig would show that the State was largely in excess, but as a large number of townships were behind in furnishing their just pro* portion of men, the draft was submitted to as the easiest way to put on an equai footing all the sub-districts in the State.* After the passage of the Conscription Act by Congress, in March 1863, the War Department made an exhibit, from the rolls on file, which purported to show all the troops furnished by the State to the 26th of May 1863, crediting an excess of 24,978 three years' men, and charging 21,250 nine months' men (equal to 5,312 three years' men). Afterwards the Department admitted additional credits up to the 26th of May to the number of 5,279, making the total excess of credits at that date 24.945 three years' men. Prior to the 2nd of September 1862, no credits were given for enlistments in the regular army, and although no reports are accessable show- ing the number of regulars enlisted in this State up to that time, a fair estimate would fix it at not less than 3 000. 'i'his would give us an excess on the 26th of May 1863 of 27,945 three years' men — - not including a large number enlisted in Kentucky, Illinois, New York and other States, for which no credit was allowed. The Conscription Act was doubtless a very important war measure, but the above exhibit makes its clear that its passage was not necessary to compel Indiaxa to furnish her quota of troops for the war; nevertheless it did a good work for us — it settled all for- mer credits and deficiencies, and gave us a starting point for the future. Until the 20rh of October, 1863, all credits were given to the State at large ; on and after that date they were assigned to town- ships or other sub-districts, according to the place of credit or resi- dence, as shown by the muster-in rolls. Then commenced the system of local bounties, which has already been explained in pre- ceeding pages. FIRST SERIES OF YETERAxX CREDITS. No further difficulty was met with in the settlement of credits between the State and General Government until the re-enlistment of veterans in the field in the winter of 1863--4 gave rise to fresh complications. The following doucument so fully explains these matters, it is inserted entire : *See " Draft of 18C2 " in this volume. VETERAN RE-MUSTERS. ' 97 Executive Department of Indiana, Adjutant General's Office, Indianapolis, March 4th, 1861. Hon. John U. Pettit, Speaker of the House of Representatives: Sir : In compliance with a resolution of the House of Representatives, passed March 1st, 1865, I have the honor to report, as follows: The whole number of re-enlisted Veterans of Indiana volunteers authorized up to this date, to be passed to the credit of the State on any of the calls of the Presi- dent for volunteers or drafted men, is 11,480. On the 8th of December, 1863, the War Department issued a circular instruct- ing the Commissaries of Musters, as follows: " Commissaries of Musters will cause to be entered upon the descriptive roll ot Veteran Volunteers, the residence of each man — giving the town, county and State. The same data must also appear on the copy of the roll sent to the "Adju- tant General of the State in which the men reside. The information must be promptly furnished, as upon it credits of men to the respective States m'111 be made. It is necessary to know the number for the respective towns and counties, so that the credits may be properly distributed through the State. The residences of men remustered will, of course, determine the town and county to which they beIon(;." The rolls of remuster of re-enlisted Veterans were received at the Adjutant General's Office of this State, between the first day of January and thirtyfirst day of August, 1864, except in the cases of the Veterans of the Eleventh, Thirteenth Twenty-Fourth, Twenty-Sixth, Thirty-Fourth, Forty-Sixth, Forty-Seventh and Sixtieth Regiments, and Third Cavalry, which were not received until after the draft had actually taken place under the call of July, 18th, 1864, and then they were furnished by the Adjutant General U. S. A., War Department. Some of these rolls showed the residences of the men, and some contained no information on the subject. On the 5th of February, 1864, the Adjutant General of the State received the following telegram : " Washington, 5th February, 1864. " Adjutant General Indiana i " From reports thus far received, I fear that mustering officers In the field have not fully complied with their instructions of December. 8th, 1863, in reference to localities to which re-mustered veterans should be credited. Therefore, witli the view of comparing records, and to insure prompt and correct crediting of men, I respectfully recpiest that you will consult your records of re-mustered veteran trooi)s, and those of the organizations returned to and arriving in the State, on fur- lough, and m^ike therefrom a report of the numbers to be credited to the respective locaUties. Please forward the report to me March 1st, and let it embrace all re- musters reported to you prior to that date. [Signed,] " Thomas M. Vincent, Assistant Adjutant General " The report required was not com.pleted by March 1st, but further time being given, it was transmitted April 16th, 1864, and embraced all re-musters reported to the Adjutant General prior to that date.

Of the former, 7,672 were credited to localities within the State, and 1,540 being reported as having no residence on the rolls, were considered as credited to (he State at large. These did not, however, embrace all of the veterans to which the State was entitled to a credit, but only such as this office had rolls foi*. On the 1 3th of August, 1864, Assistant Adjutant General, Samuel Breck, in charge of rolls. War Department, reported that he had on file the rolls of veterans (of which this office had no copies) as follows: Eleventh Regiment, 287; Tliiiiecnth Kegi- nient, 189 ; Twenty-fourtlj Kegtmcnt, 226; Twenty-sixth Regiment, 240; Thirty- 'ourth Regiment, 447; Forty-sixth Regiment, 285; Forty-seventh, Regiment, 437, Sixtieth Regiment, 115, and Third Cavalry Regiment, 36 : total, 2,262. Application was at once made for copies of these rolls, but it was refused, on the ground that the Department could not allow its clerical force to be taken away from the current work to make the copies. They were afterwards, in the latter part of September and first weeks of October, furnished, after the numbers corresponding had been assigned to localities and reported for credit, by the Adjutant General of the State, in pursuance of telegraphic instructions, as follows : VETERAN CREDITS. 99 "Washington, August 26, 1864.

G." This exhibit was made up by Adjutant General Noble, by apportioning the numbers, pro rata throughout the State, of such as had no residences upon the rolls? and by including, in addition, those shown upon supplementary rolls, received after the date of former reports. The whole number embraced in this exhibit was 2,280, apportioned as follows : Seventh District 381 Eighth District 115 Ninth District 113 Tenth District 104 Eleventh District 365 First District 159 Second District 269 Third District 280 Fourth District 149 Fifth District ; 219 Sixth District 126 Total .2280 The veterans thus assigned were 451 of the Twenty-first Regiment, 282 of the Thirty-First Regiment (all from Seventh District;) 142 of the Thirty-Fifth Regiment; 213 of the Thirty-Eighth Regiment (mostly from Second District;) 287 of the Eleventh Regiment; 215 of the Twenty-Fourth Regiment (from First and Second Districts;) 240 of the Twenty-Sixth Regiment; 251 of the Forty-Seventh Regiment (all from Eleventh District;) and 199 of detachments of different regiments and batteries. This exhibit was transmitted to Assistant Adjutant General Thomas M, Vincent, September 2d, 1864, that officer having signified, by telegraph, that, "as the draft is ordered immediately after September 5th, that date is the latest at which the exhibit of veterans" could " be received so as to be passed to credit." There was some prospect, at this time, that the draft would be postponed, and Major Vincent was requested (in case it was) to return the last-named exhibit for revision, as it was not claimed to be perfect. In a report on this subject, made to Governor Morton by General Noble, dated September 10th, 1864, it was urged that " time should be allowed to fairly adjust these credits, and especially to appor- tion those whose residences are not given on rolls among the townships as nea^. where the veterans actually reside as possible, and this can not be done without a return of the exhibit furnished Major Vincent, September 2d, for revision. That revision, to give any kind of satisfaction, will take at least four weeks." Although the Assistant Adjutant General U. S. A., in charge of the adjustment of veteran credits, acknowledged that the State was entitled to a total credit of 11,490, for some unexplained reason the Provost Marshal General failed to direct his Assistant on duty in Indiana to credit the whole number thus acknowledged. Up to September 17th, 1864, only 6,576 had been actually credited, and on that day an order was received, by telegraph, from the Provost Marshal General's Bureau, to give an additional credit of 3,233, leaving still a deficit of 1,681 men. The attention of the Provost Marshal General being called to the fact that the full number authorized by the Adjutant General U. S. A. had not yet been cred- ited, the following instructions were given : 100 ADJUTANT general's REPORT, "War Depaktmext, Povost Marshal General's Office, "WAsniNGTON, September 19tli, 1864.

In justice to myself, it is proper to state that all of the business relating to the credits hereinbefore mentioned, tons transacted during the time the office of Adjutant General toas held by my predecessor. General Noble, and that the foregoing statement of facts has been prepared, at my request, by the principal cterk of the late Adjutant General from the books, rolls, and memoranda remaining in this office. (SECOND SERIES OF VETERAN CREDITS.) The following adjustment of veteran credits has been made since my ajjpoint- ment : On the 4th of February, ] 865, Brigadier General T. G. Pitcher, Acting As- sistant Provost Marshal General, furnished this office with a " statement of credits civen to the State of Indiana on the books " of his office, " for re-enlisted veteran volunteers of that State," showing that but 11,253 of the 11,490 allowed had been actually credited, leaving 237 still unaccredited. Application being made to the Provost Marshal General for authority to credit these omitted veterans, the follow- ing telegram was received : War Department, Provost Marshal General's Bureau, Washington, D. C, February 6th, 1865. General W. H. H. Terrell, Adjutant Geiieral, Indianapolis, Indiana : The credit of re-enlisted veterans to the State of Indiana appears upon our books as 11,490, and agrees with the figures in your office. General Pitcher has been directed to make the distribution of the 237 certified by him as not credited. [Signed :] James B. Fry, Provost Marshal General. It was claimed by me that each of the 23 7 should be credited as three men on the pending call for one year men, and not as a unit, and the question being re- ferred to the Provost Marshal General's Bureau, it was decided adversely, as will be seen from the following letter, received by General Pitcher : War Department, Provost Marshal General's Bureau, Washington, D. C., February 11th, 1865. Brig. Gen. T. G. Pitcher, Act. Ass't. Provost Marshal General, Indianapolis, Ind. : General: The Provost Marshal General directs, that, in distributing the credits to which the localities in the State of Indiana are entitled, on account of the 237 veterans authorized by his telegram of the 6th instant, that as these credits have not been applied on the July call, they are each a credit for three years of service, and you will reduce the quotas for the localities entitled to the credit by deducting the number of men to which they are entitled, amounting in the aggregate to 237. I am, General, very respectfully. Your Obedient Servant, [Signed :] N. L. Jeffries, Colonel Veteran Reserve Corps. The duty of assigning said unassigned re-enlisted veterans for credit, having de- volved upon the undersigned, I thought it my duty to assign them to such localities as would pay, for their benefit, a fair local bounty for the credits thus given, and the following distribution of the same was accordingly made : (For list of veterans, where credited, and disposition made of their bounties, see Appendix, Document No. 21, pages 151 to 155.) Said counties being the highest which could be obtained for said credits, were duly paid, and the money deposited by the local authorities in the First National Bank of Indianapolis, to the credit of each Veteran by name, and a certificate of 102 ADJUTANT GENERALS REPORT. deposit issued for the amount in each case, payable to the order of the proper partv, or, in the event of his death, to the order of his widow, or if he have no widow, to his father or widowed mother; otherwise, to his legal heirs. And, in case said bounty shall remain unclaimed for tlie period of two year?, it is provided in the cer- tificate of deposit, that the money shall be paid into the State Treasury to the credit of the fund arising from "Estates without heirs." All which is respectfully submitted. W. H. H. Terrell, Adjutant General of Indiana. QUOTAS- The quotas, under the several calls, were assigned to the States and Congressional Districts by the Provost Marshal General, and to townships and other sub-districts by the Acting Assistant Pro- vost Marshal, on the basis of the enrollment, taking into considera- tion the number of troops previously furnished. It was a rare thing for the people of any township or sub-district to be entirely satistied with their quota;'. They were either too large for the number of men enrolled and liable to do military duty, or else proper credit had not been given for all the men previously enlisted. The State authorities also frequently found just reason to object to the general quotas assigned as being excessive and incorrect. Thus, when a draft was ordered to be made on the 10th of March, 1864, it was clearly evident to the mind of the Governor that the quotas assigned to Indiana for the years 1861 and 1862 were largely excessive, and that under any construction or calculation, the then pending quota, as well as all previous ones, had more than been filled. He did not guess at this conclusion, but reached it by a thorough examination of the whole matter from the beginning of tliewar; and yet a draft was actually insisted on, and Colonel Baker, Acting Assistant Provost Marshal General for the State, under the orders of his Chief, had fully made all his preparations to commence it at the time designated. This appeared to the Governor flagrantly unjust. The nation was entitled to all the forces it needed, but could rightfully only draw upon a State for its equitable proportion of the general whole ; Indiana had fur- nished more than her share already ; it was not right, therefore, to force a draft upon us merely because a few sub-districts were in arrears, which, if allowed time, would wipe out their deficiencies by furnishing volunteers. If all the other States called on had fur- nished their proportion, there would certainly have been no occa- sion to require us to furnish more than ours. The Governor very properly protested against such inequality and unfairness, and so THIRD SEMES OF VETERAN CREDITS. 103 plainly did he make the facts appear, the threatened draft was promptly stopped. The following telegrams will fully explain the stand fee took : Indianapolis, Indiana, February 29th, 1864. Colonel James B. Fry, Provost Marshal General, Washington D. C. On the basis of population shown by the census of 1860, including one-half of the white poiaulation of Kentucky, Missouri, Delaware, Maryland, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia, and omitting California, Oregon and all the rebel States and Territories, the calls made on Indiana in 1861 and 1862 were excessive 6,199. On the basis of the enrollment the calls during the same year were exces- sive to the Eumber of 9986. Upon any basis of calculation, with the number ot men known to be recruited in the State and re-enlisted in the field, it is certain that the State has more than filled her quota under all the calls. Many localities are paying heavy bounties, and it will occasion great complaint if they are allowed to do this after the quota is filled. Statement mailed to-day. O. P. Morton. Indianapolis, Indiana, March 1st, 1864. Colonel James B. Fry, Provost Marshal General, Washington, D. C Colonel Baker has just shown nit a dispatch, in which he is required to com- mence the draft on the 10th of March, in all sub-districts that have not furnished their quotas.

The Muster-in Rolls of the re-enlisted Veterans of the Eleventh, Thirteenth, Twenty-Fourth, Twenty-Sixth, Thirty-Fourth, Forty- Sixth, Forty-Seventh and Sixtieth Regiments, and Third Cavalry Regiment, were received at this office in September and October, 1864. These rolls showed the residence of most of the men, and the residence thus given settled the question as to local credit, ac- cording to the mustering regulations. Prior to their receipt, how- ever, these Veterans had been credited, by Adjutant General Noble, by numbers, as part of the State's aggregate credit^ and it was decided by the Acting Assistant Provost General, that the credits shown on the rolls could not be given to the localities without a withdrawal of an equal number from other localities, and, knowing that the application of such a rule would result in confusion and dissatisfaction, the claim for 104 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. credits, under it, was not pressed. Applications were, however, made direct to tlie War Department by parties interested, in be- half of Cass and Marion counties, and this office furnished all the information in its possession to enable the parties to prosecute their claims. The War Department, however, did not arrange the matter satisfactorily. In March, 1865, Governor Mouton gave the subject his personal attention, and obtained from Brigadier General J. B. Fry, Provost Marshal General, an order to credit Cass county with 82 men, Indianapolis and Marion county 172, and Huntington county 56 men, veterans of some of the regiments referred to ; and, also, a promise that credits should be given to other counties entitled to them upon the same principle. The localities named were the only ones where the exact numbers were known without a careful examination of the rolls — hence the rea- son for the order in their case, prior to the orders subsequently given. On the 18th of March, 1865, General Pitcher received a tele- gram from General Fry, directing th^credits to be made as stated, and copies of the Muster-in Rolls of such Veterans of the Eleventh, Thirteenth, Twenty-Sixth, Forth-Sixth and Forty-Seventh Regi- ments, as had credited themselves to localities in Marion, Cass and Huntington counties, were furnished General Pitcher, that he might give the credits to the precise localities named on the rolls. The number thus credited was 310. On the 28th of March, 1865, the rolls of the Eleventh, Thir- teenth, Twenty-Fourth, Twenty-Sixth, Thirty-Fourth, Forty- Sixth and Forty-Seventh Regiments, and Third Cavalry Regi- ment, were copied with a view of giving General Pitcher infor- mation upon which to give the proper credits when General Fry should direct him to do so. These copies did not embrace any oi the names shown upon the copies furnished March ISth, 1865, re- lating to credits in Cass, Marion and Huntington counties. A re- port, by telegraph, of the numbers shown to the counties entitled to credit, was made to General Fry, March 28th, with the request that he would order the credits to be given accordingly. A report was also prepared to accompany the copies of rolls for General Pitcher, showing the distribution of these credits by townships, counties and Congressional Districts. The whole number shown to be entitled to be credited by this report is 1,381, which is addi- tional to the 310 credited March 18th, 1865, making the whole number 1,691. ADDITIONAL CREDITS. 105 On the 29th March, 1865, the Provost Marshal General made the following order, a copy of which was furnished this office by Brigadier General T. G.

Pitcher, Acting Assistant Provost Marshal Gen- eral, the copies of rolls and report referred to, who directed the Provost Marshals of the different Districts to give the credits to the townships indicated in said report, and the same were credited ac- cordingly. This closed all controversies connected with the credits of re-enlisted veterans. ADDITIONAL CREDITS- Near the close of the war an act of Congress was passed* requir- ing credit to be given for all troops mustered into the service of the United States for a less period than six months, (including three months' men) since the commencement of the rebellion. Indiana '•Approved March 3d, 1865— Section 15. 106 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. was accordingly credited on the last call with 6,409 three months' men, and 7,197 one hundred days' men, making altogether 13,606 men, or 3,574 years of service aggregating 1,191 three years' men. Seventy-one naval enlistments and twenty-one representative re- cruits were also credited. CORRECTION AND SUMMARY- The Adjutant General of the Army, at the close of the War re- ported the grand total of troops, furnished by the State for all terms of service, at 194,363 men. By reference to the statistical tables published in this volume, (see Document No. 1, Appendix, page 5, et sjq.) it will be seen that the number reached 203,367, as shown by the rolls and records of this office, for the following terms of service : Three years' men ■. 165,617 One year men 21,642 Nine months' men 742 Six months' men .• 4,082 One hundred days' men 7,415 Three months' men - 6.308 Sixty days' men 587 Thirty days' men 1,874 Grand Total, 208,367 These forces were organized into one-hundred and twenty nine regiments of infantry, thirteen regiments of cavalry, one regiment of heavy artillery and twenty-six batteries of light artillery, besides independent companies, recruits for Hancocks' Corps, U. S. Vet- eran Volunteer Engineers, etc ; the aggregate number for the several arms of the service being as follows : Infantry 1 75,776 men. Cavahy 21,605 men. Artillery 10,986 men. *Grand Total, 208,367 men. INDIANA LEGION. STATE MILITI.\. The act of May 11th, 1861, under which the Legion was organ- ized and all its operations conducted, is discussed elsewhere in this volume. The most important features of the service rendered by this organization are fully detailed under the titles of " The Raid of Morgan," " Kirby Smith Campaign," etc. ^''Appendix pages 5 and G. THE MILITIii ORGANIZED. 107 The scarcity of arms prevented the Governor from attempting to place the militia on a war footing until September, 1861. Com- panies had been organized under the law in almost every county; and on the Ohio river border and in some of the interior counties a number of regiments and battalions were enrolled. Failing to receive arms promptly, many of these organizations were broken up and abandoned — a large proportion of their members enlisting in the volunteer service. On the 10th of September, 1861, Major John Love, of Marion, and Colonel John L. Mansfield, of Jefferson, were commissioned to organize the Legion upon a systematic plan for active service, the former with the rank of Major General and the latter with the rank of Brigadier. These gentlemen were by education and expe- rience well qualified to discharge the important trust committed to them ; they entered upon their duties with zeal and spirit and by laborious effort, in the face of many difficulties and discouragements, succeeded in effecting a partial organization of the militia in all the southern or border counties of the State. They were greatly aided in their labors by Brigadier Generals James E. Blythe, of Vander- burg, and Alexander C. Downey, of Ohio, and their subordinate officers, among whom may be worthily mentioned Colonels Enoch R. James and John A. Mann, of Posey; William E. Rollings- AVORTH, of Vanderburg ; Daniel F. Bates, of Warrick ; John W. Crooks, of Spencer; Charles H. Mason and Charles Fournier, of Perry ; Horatio Woodbury and John T. Morgan, of Crawford ; Lewis Jordan, Senior, of Harrison; Benjamin F. Scribner and William W. Tuley, of Floyd ; John N. Ingram and John F. WiLLEY, of Clark . Samuel B. Sering, of Jefferson ; George W. Malick and Kennedy Brown, of Jennings ; Oliver Ormsby, of Switzerlend ; Hugh T. Williams, of Ohio, and.loHN H. Burkam, of Dearborn. The Honorable Richard W. Thompson, of Vigo, and Morton C. Hunter, Esq., of Monroe, were also commissioned Briga- dier Generals, and succeeded in organizing several very fine regiments. For the purpose of producing greater uniformity in drill and dis- cipline, and to infuse a higher degree of military spirit into the minds of the officers and men of the Legion, the Governor ordered an Encampment of Instruction to be held at Indianapolis, com- mencing on the 16th of October, 1862. A new and cmplete can- tonment, called Burnside Barracks, was erected near the city for this purpose, under the direction of Quartermaster-General Stone. 108 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. Between three and lour hundred olFicers assembled and were placed under regimental organization. Six comj^anics were formed with the usual company and subordinate officers, and placed under the instruction of Colonel (afterwards Brigadier General) Hknry B. Carringtg.v, of the United States Army, and a suitable corps of assistants, aided by Major General Lovi-,, as commandant. The organization of companies was maintained during the Encamp- ment, which continued for two weeks; hours of duty were pub- lished in general orders prescribing the routine of the camp, and everything was conducted in strict accordance with military regu- lations and usage. The first week was employed in theoretical and practical instruction in the manual of arms and sciuad drill ; during the second week, company and battalion drill were addedi and the members of the Encampment were as thoroughly instructed as the short duration of the school would permit. The officers were highly gratified with the progress made, aud upon the break- ing up of the Encampment returned to their homes with renewed zeal and determination to make their commands more efficient and reliable for active service. Major General Love having resigned on the 1st of January, 1863, the command devolved upon Brigadier General Mansfield, under whom the Legion continued to increase in strength and efficiency. He was promoted Major General July 30, 1864, and was relieved from duty on the 1st of November, 1865, his services being no longer necessary. In addition to the regular military duties which devolved upon General Mansfield, he was frequently called upon by the Governor to investigate and settle matters of much public importance in various parts of the State, and through his energetic eiforts and sound judgment many internal strifes and troubles were quieted and order maintained.* His fine abilities were on many occasions strikingly displayed in allaying public ex- citements and reconciling the people of disturbed localities to the peculiar and complicated circumstances created by the war. The Honorable James Hughes, of Monroe, was appointed Briga- dier General on the 1st of July, 1863, and was promoted Major General on the 1st of August, 1864. He took an important part in the Morgan raid of 1863,1 and in all subsequent defensive operations within the limits of his division.

OFFICERS OF THE LEGIOX. 109 August, 1864,* was planned by him, but as the troops were to be sent out of the State, Major General Hovey, United States Volun- teers, was invited to take command — General Hughes cooperating. Colonel Henry Jordan, of Harrison, formerly of the 17th Indiana Mounted Infantry, a brave and accomplished officer, was ap- pointed Brigadier General on the 9th of August, 1864, and was actively employed for several montlis under General Hughes in guarding the border between New Albany and Troy, and in quell- ing disloyal combinations and threatened outbreaks in the counties embraced in his command. His prudence and good management was shown in suppressing the " Orange and Crawford Conspiracy! in October, 1864. This was a formidable combination, organized ostensibly to resist the draft, but, as it turned out, the dishonest appropriation of property appeared to be one of its main objects. It was composed of more than three hundred disloyal citizens, in- cluding a number of conscript deserters, and was headed by a nuinber of guerillas from Kentucky, whose connection with the scheme was induced solely by the hope of plunder. Some fifty flagrant robberies were committed. The Legion very promptly suppressed the movement, and upwards of ninety arrests were made. Further violent proceedings were prevented by calling into active service Captain A\^elotte's company of the Sixth Regi- ment, which was posted at Hartford, Crawford county, by General Jordan, for about six weeks. This ended the trouble, and the ser- vices of an active force being no longer required, General Jordan was relieved about the close of the year 1864. His brief adminis- tration of military affairs, in one of the most disaffected districts of the State, was highly creditable and productive of the best results. In the early part of July, 1863, upon the request of Governor Morton, Brigadier General Henry B. Carrington, United States Volunteers, previously Chief Mustering Officer and Commander of the District of Indiana, then in Ohio, was ordered to report at In- dianapolis, for such duty as the Governor might assign to him_ The Morgan Raid followed, and General Carrington's fine abili- ties as a mustering officer and organizer of troops, in an emergency were a most valuable acquisition. After the raid was over, he was directed to more thoroughly organize the Legion, and for the ten months succeeding he was industriously and actively engaged in '■'See "Adam Johnson's Threatened Raid," in this volume. fSee "Operations of the Indiana Legion, 18G3-1," Legislative Documents of ISG-t. 110 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. this important work, giving much attention also to the recruitment of volunteers. He visited some thirty-five counties, and spent con- siderable time in instructing the militia in drill and discipline. About eighteen thousand stand of small arms were issued to the organized Legion, besides a number of pieces of artillery, during the time he was acting under the Governor's orders.* Not the least important service rendered by him to the State and Nation, was the discovery and exposure of the treasonable organization known as the " Sons of Liberty," which, but for his eflbrts, would probably have caused much trouble and bloodshed.! His great energy and industry, his willingness to assume responsibilities, when required by the demands of the hour, his admirable way of working through or around obstacles, and " stirring up things gen- erally," at times when haste was essential to success, told on many occasions with wonderful effect, and very materially aided in secur- ing for Indiana the proud name she won for the rapidity with which her troops were thrown into the field, and the efficiency of her militia at home. A list of division, brigade, regimental and company organizations of the Legion, with full rosters of officers will be found in the third volume of this report. It only remains to describe, as accu- rately as available data and restricted limits will permit, the incep- tion and progress of the work of organization, — to briefly sketch the varied and valuable services performed and the benefits result- ing therefrom.

Brigadier General Richard W Thompson, commissioned November 1st, 1861 ; assihom were captured and sent to Louisville. These vigt>rous measures checked the rebels for a time, but in the following Sep- tember other guerrilla bands were organized, and the work of plundering the property and maltreating the persons of Kentucky unionists was begun afresh. The rebel battalion, which was so severely chastised by Colonel Crooks, at Panther Creek, fell back into Hancock and Breckenridge counties, and being re-inforci-d by by guerrillas, prepared to attack Colonel Shanks, at Cloverport. Two companies of the Fifth, under command of Colonel Four- MER, promptly marched to his assistance, but the rebels learning of the arrival of re-inforcements, declined to attack, and, a few days later, moved southward across Green River. During the remainder of 1862, the regiment was not called out, except for drill. It had been augmented by new organizations, until at the close of the year it con^^isted of sixteen conipanies, numbering, all told, eighth hundred and fifty well drilled and reli- able men, all armed and equipped, and ready for service whenever they miglit be needed. On the 3d day of February, 1853, the rebels having taken pos- session of Lewisport, Kentucky, a few miles below Troy (in Spen- cer county, Indiana,), one company of the Filth was called out for guard duty, at exposed points on the river, but the excitement sub- sided, and af-ter remaining on duty for three days the company was called in and the men dismissed to their homes. Later in the same month four companies were ordered to march for the protection of Hawesville. The officer in command stationed his force opposite 124 ADJUTANT GENERAL'.S EEPORT. the town, ready to cross if necessary, but no attack was made aixl the companies were dismissed. A company of rebel mounted infautry visited Ilawesville on the 3d of March, and Colonel Fourxiku prepared to attack them at mi(hiight, an entertaininent for whi-ch the rebels did not \vait. On the 8th of June a rebel detachment entered Cloverport, Ken- tucky, and commenced the seizure of horses. Their movement.'' indicated an intention of crossing the river, but the judicious dis- posal of a detachment of the l-^'ifth frustrated that design. The gallant part borne by a part of this command in the Hines* Raid will be referred to in another part of this report-. During the Morgan Raid the entire force was in camp along the riven which was thoroughly guard(?d, as long as Morgan u'us in tlu' State. About the middle of September, Colonel Fourniek, v/ith a small force, crossed the river to assist the Provost Marshal of Hancock county, jn dispersing a company of rebels, but the sudden retreat of the enemy prevented a collision, and the detachment returned the next day. In January, lS(i4, the military authorities at Ilawesville, again called upon the Fifth, for aid, but Colonel Fournikr declined fur- ther efforts in that direction, on account of the open hostility oi" the principal citizens of the town to the National Government. In May the rebels again made their appearance on the border in such numbers that heavy details of the Legion were required for guard and patrol duty, during that and the following month. United States transports passing up and down the Ohio were firefi upon from Hawesville, Lewisport, Owensboro and other points. On the 15th of June, five companies under Captain Essary were ordered out to repel an expected attack from a rebel ft)rce then stationed at Concordia, Kentucky. The men were posted along the Ohio, on the Indiana shore, from Reno to the mouth oi Oil Creek. A few shots were exchanged, but the river being too higii to cross with horses, and having no other means of transportation, Captain Essary was unable to gratify the wishes of his men to attack the enemy on their own ground. Several of the rebels were rj^ported wounded by some of the more expert riflemen of the Legion. The rebels withdrew on the 19th, and the companies on duty were soon after dismissed, but strong details were made for night guard until the 23cL TROFELES ON THE BORDER. 125 The United States gunboat "Springfield" was about this tinne detailed for patrol duty, between Cannelton and ]\ew Albany^ which had the efiect to keep the guerrillas quiet for some weeks, but, on the 24th of July, a strong squad, sorely pressed for clothing and other supplies, attempted to tnake a descent upon Hawesville. They were dispersed by the guns of the " Springfield," without the aid of the Legion. During August and September, the gunboat having been removed, detachments of four or five companies were constantly required for guard and patrol duty. On the '3d of October, the entire command was ordered out, and camps were established along the river, from Reno to Troy, a dis- tance of forty miles. This precaution was made necessary by the appearance of rebels, in force, on the border, with the sup|)Osed purpose of crossing the Ohio, to aid malcontents in resisting the draft. The Fifth Regiment continued on duty for ten days, or un- til the rebels had apparently abandoned their purpose of invading t.his State. In December, rebel forces, under command of Major W. Taylor, of the Confederate army, took possession of Hawesville, and noti- fied the Filth Regiment that, if left in undisturbed occupancy of the town, they would not molest any of the citizens on the Indiana side of the river. Colonel Fourmer, met the rebel Major on the ferry boat, to discuss the proposition, but no terms were agreed upon, and all communication stopped. On the 23d of the same month, a band of marauders, under one " Captain Davidson," seized the packet " Morning Star," at Lewisport, (ten miles below Can- nellton) and, after murdering, in cold blood, four Union soldiers^ drowning the steward of the boat, and robbing the passengers of all their money and other valuables, compelled the Captain to take them to Hawesville, ommitting all intermediate landings. Learn- ing of this affair, Colonel P^urnirr called out the river companies of his command, and put his artillery in position opposite Hawes- ville. A sufficient force could not be rallied during the night to cross the river, with fair j)rospects of success, against the very con- siderable force of rebels then collected there ; but in the morning the enemy was effectually routed, by a few well-aimed shells, thrown from Colonel Fourmek's guns, through the streets of the town. This process proved an effectual remed}/, as the citizens of Hawes- ville, assured that their town would be again shelled if occupied bv 126 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. rebels, discontinued the extension of hospitalities to friends whose presence would bring such a calamity upon them. No further report has been furnished of the operations of this vigilant and determined regiment, but the facts already stated suf- ficiently attest its zeal and loyalty, and prove that to Colonel Foub- NiKH, (now deceased) and his patriotic officers and men, the citi- zens of Perry, and interior counties, are indebted for exemption from rebel raids, with the probable loss of life, and certain loss of property, that would have resulted therefrom. The regiment was an unsnrmountable barrier between hungry hordes of lawless marauders and out-casts, and the tempting prizes presented on the fertile farms, and in the flourishing towns of Perry county and the contiguous country. Crawford County Rkoimknt, Si:con'd Biugadk, {Not Num- bered.) — This command consisted of nine companies, organized at various dates, between June, 1861, and August, 1863. From Oc- tober Uli, 1861, to Sejitember 8th, 1862, the regiment was cora- njanded by Colonel Hokatio WooDBuay, who resigned September 8th, 1862, to accept a commission in the volunteer service, leaving a vacancy, which was filled by the appointment of .Joun T. Mok- GAN', who remained in command, with credit to himself and the service, until his decease, in the summer of 18b3. The vacancy was filled by the appointment of Samuki- M. JoUxXstox, under a commission dated August 1st, 1863. Of the services performed by this regiment, during the incum- bency of its first and last commanding otlicers, norejDorts have ever been made to this oflice. From a brief report of Colonel Mokgan.. it appears that his command, in the fall of 1862, consisted of fivt^: companies, all effectively armed as infantry. A small rifled cannon was manned by a detail from one of the infantry companies. The intense excitement that pervaded the border in September. 1862, was largely participated in by the citizens of Crawford County. The people of Leavenworth and vicinity, apprehensive of an attack upon the town, requested Colonel Morgan to take precautionary measures to avert the threatened danger. Accord- ingly, two companies were deployed as pickets along the river for some distance, above and below the town. This service was dis- continued at the expiration of three days. About the same time, a three inch rifled cannon was issued to Captain G. W. Lyon's company for the protection of Leavenworth. This gun was of CRAWFORD AND IIARRJSON REGIMENTS. 127 great use to the citizens of that town, but it was finally captured by the rebels iindtT Morgan, in 1863, as will be more fully stated in the chapter relatingto the Morgan raid, in this volume. The Legion turned outon that occasion to the numberof about five hundred — two hundred being mounted, andundercommajid of Captain ChaklesL. Lamb, of Leavenworth. This force promptly marched to the re- lief of Colonel Jordan, at Corydon, but did not reach that point until after the enemy had left for Salem. When General Hobson arrived, in pursuit of the rebels. Captain Lamb^s cavalry was ordered in the advance, and continued with Hobson^s command until it reached Harrison, Ohio, where it was ordered home. The infantry was sent to New Albany, for the protection of the hos- pitals and public stores at that post^ and remained until the raid was over. The only casuality resulting from this service was the death of Lieutenant Calvin Martin, of the " Fredonia Guards,'^ who died shortly after from disease contracted during the march. Captain Lamb subsequently organized an " Independent Com- pany of Cavalry," and tendered its services, through the Governor, to the General Government, and was accepted, for special service^ for twelve months, unless sooner discharged. The company was mustered into service at Leavenworth, on the 13th of August, 1863. and was engaged during the fall and winter following in arresting deserters, enforcing the conscription law, and in guarding the river border against invasions from rebel cavalry and guerrillas. Per- mission being granted by the War Department, a large proportion of the men re-enlisted for three years, in the Thirteenth Indiana Cavalry, and the remainder were finally discharged on the 23d day of April, 1864, their services being no longer needed. As has already been stated, but little information as to the services of the Crawford County Legion can be gleaned from the meagre reports that have been received. It is believed, however, that all the companies responded to every call that was made upon them and that they performed their duties as zealously and faithfully as any of the similar organizations on the border. Sixth Regiment, Second Brigade, {Harrison county.) — Prior to November 1st, 1861, ten companies had been organized in Harrison county, which at that date numbered in the aggregate 535 men. Four companies were subsequently organized, one of which was cavalry. The command also included an artillery company. One of the largest and most efficient company organizations was dis- 128 ADJUTANT general's RKPORT. banded in the summer of 1862, nearly all its members having vol- unteered in the service of the United States. The same cause greatly reduced the strength of all t!ie remaining companies, not less than six hundred members of the regiment having left its ranks to go to the field during the first two years of the war. For eighteen months after the first companies were organized they were drilled regularly two or three times a week, and subsequently to that, period once a week till near the close of the second year, when monthly or semi-monthly drills were deemed sufficient. Four regimental drills were holden during 1862, on which occasions the fine appear- ance of the command elicited much commendation. The appearance of rebels and other indications of danger on the border in September, 18G2, induced the commanding ollicer, Colonel Lewis Jordan, Senior, to call out the regiment and go into camp for seven days, at Mauckporr, on the Ohio. Tliirty or forty Union refugees, driven by the rebel soldiery and disloyal citizens from Brandenburg, Kentucky, had taken refuge on the Indiana side of the river. Desiring to return to their homes, Colonel Jordon detailed two hundred and fifty men, under command of Lieutenant Colonel Ir-'Vin, to escort them to Brandenburg and take possession of the town. The order was promptly executed, and on the morning of the 25th of September, Lieutenant Colonel Irwin entered the place and planted the United States flag on the court house. The com- mand captured twelve prisoners, who were released on taking the oath of allegiance. A company of United States cavalry arriving the same day to occupy the town, the detachment returned to Harrison county. At another time two companies marched to the assistance of the Union force at the fort on Salt River, Kentucky, and remained there for several days. Subsequently four companies were ordered to Mauckport, to repel a threatened raid, but returned after two days without opposition. The companies residing on and near the river were constantly on the alert and devoted much time to guard and patrol duty. Nothing further of material importance appears in the record of this command, until the month of July, 1863, when Colonel Jor- dan and a part of the Sixth Regiment, and a number of citizens, were captured at Corydon, by Joun Morgan's force, alter the most heroic efforts to prevent the enemy from landing on the soil of our State, and a determined and gallant defense of the town. A full account of this affair is given in another chapter. TloYd county regiment. 129 Seventh Regiment, Third Brigade, [Floyd County.) — From the report of Colonel E, A» Maginness, it appears that this regiment was organized (under command of Colonel B. F. Scribner,) during the spring of 1861, and consisted at that time of eighteen com- panies, numbering in the aggregate 900 men, most of whom were uniformed, but not more than 300 armed. During the first four months the most satisfactory progress was made in company and battalion drill, but protracted delay in pro- curing arms and accoutrements created general dissatisfaction, while the organization of two regiments of volunteers in this county and vicinity for the United States service, absorbed many of the officers and men who had been the most active members of the Legion. Every company contributed much of its best material to these two regiments, and several of them were thus entirely deprived of com- missioned officers. From these causes most of the companies were disorganized, and the efficiency of those who retained their organi- zation was seriously impaired. Here, as elsewhere, the Legion served the noble purpose of educating young men for active service, and in infusing martial enthusiasm into the public mind. Colonel Scribner, entering the United States service as Colonel of the Thirty-Eighth Indiana Volunteers, the command of the Seventh passed to Colonel William W. Tuley, in September, 1861. During the incumbency of Colonel Tuley, he was requested by General Anderson, then on duty in Kentucky, to send Knapps' artillery company of his command to a point opposite the mouth of Salt River, and to keep it supported by at least one company of infantry. The request was complied with, the artillery remaining on duty at the point designated about three months, during which time three infantry companies participated in the duty of support- ing it, relieving each other from time to time. One company was subsequently sent to Indianapolis to assist in guarding prisoners at Camp Morton, in which service it continued several months. Upon the resignation of Colonel Tuley, in September, 1862, Colonel Maginness was placed in command. He found the regi- ment, with the exception of four companies "utterly broken up," and "even these four companies very much shattered;" a condition which was not much improved at the date of his report, in Decem- ber following. Colonel Maginness attributes the early dissolution of the organization to the "utterly and fatally defective law that . Vol. 1—10. 130 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. «ave it birth,"' a law "which discovers no iiuiucements to allure, nor penalties to compel, men to join the organization.'' Eighth Regimknt, Third Brigadk, {Clark and Scott Comities.) No detailed report of the inception and progress of the organization in Clark and Scott counties has been made by any of the officers commanding, nor has this office been furnished with reliable data relative to the services performed by the regiment, or any of the companies attached thereto. James KeigWin, of Jefl'ersonville, was iirst appointed to the Colonelcy, under commission bearing date August '^Oth, 1861, but almost immediately vacated the office to accept the Lieutenant Colonelcy of the Forty-Ninth Indiana Vol- unteers. Colonel John N. Ingram held the command from Septem- ber Gth, 1861, to October 13th, 1862, when his resignation created a vacancy which was filled by the appointment of John F. Willey. This officer reports twelve companies in Clark and five companies in Scott county at the close of 1862. Portions of the command ^we.re frequently called out to repel threatened incursions of Ken- ^uws of republican freedom, universally accepted and cherished. All our wars, from the Revolution down, had been fought and won principally by volunteers, and the traditional renown of our soldiers, serving from motives of patriotism and not per force^ had grown brighter and brighter, year by year ; while con- scription, as practiced by foreign nations, was regarded as a despotic exercise of power, a tyranical invasion of natural rights peculiar to monarchical governments. Thus endeared to the whole people, the system of voluntary service, presented the strongest claims, as a foun- dation, for the new militia law of 1861, and it was adopted by the Legislature with entire unanimity. While this system of service must ever remain, the hope and strength of Free America, it is not, of itself — bare and alone, as presented in Ihe militia law under consideration — equal to the necessities of any State, situated as Indiana was, during the late war. DEFECTS OF THE LAW. The Indiana Militia Law contained little that was objection- able or impolitic — it simply did not contain enough. It needed more power and less circumlocution. It embodied the voluntary principle, which, in itself, is right, but, in case the militia of the State did not volunteer, there was no remedy. The law went no further, and the Governor and Commander-in-Chief could not go beyonj the law. There was no enrollment, as there should have been ; and no regulation for organizing any stated quota or propor- tion of the arms-bearing population liable to do military service ; no inducement to voluntary enlistment; no penalty or tax assessed against those who preferred to stand aloof from the organized militia. An appropriation was made for the expenses of the active force, for the years 1851 and 1862, but no practicable provision was uiade for its disbursement, or distribution, among the active forces, and it was not until after much service had been rendered that a plan could be devised to use the funds, and then only in paying for time actually employed, under the Governor's calls to guard the border and repel raids. All expenses connected with parades, pro- DEFECTS OF THE LAW. 13& curing uniforms, and for time spent in organizing and drilling, had to be borne by individuals, the law making no provision for these heavy and necessary outlays. The law granted but little, and com- pelled nothing. The few regulations it contained, intended to be constraining and stringent, lost their force from the fact that there were few penalties, so insignificant and so seldom exacted, they were utterly unheeded by the derelict and delinquent. When practically tested, therefore, it soon became apparent that the law was radically weak and insufficient ; that the essential principle of all effective militia enactments, which compels the per- formance of military duty, in peace as well as in war, was lacking, and that without it but little could be done toward organizing the citizens of the State iiito permanent and well disciplined companies and regiments. The little that it did accomplish can not be attributed to any provision intended to enforce military duty, but was rather, and in fact, the result of the dangers that threatened us. and not, strictly speaking, from motives of patriotism, or over- weening loyalty. True, there was no deficiency in the loyalty or patriotism of any considerable number in this State, as our grand army of more than two hundred thousand volunteers fully attests, though party spirit during the rebellion ran high, and views were freely entertained by many inimical to the war policy of the Gov- ernment. The great draw back was, that the law did not compel^ but only invited service. In the central and northern parts of the State, where there was little or no danger of raids, the Indiana Legion, (as the militia was called) was either not organized at all, or, if organized, was not maintained, and therefore amounted to nothing. In the Southern counties, and almost exclusively in those bordering on the Ohio river, the case was entirely different. The rebels made free use of Kentucky, and during the whole war, that State was a favorite recruiting rendezvous for the Southern army, and was infested with guerrilla parties, and bands of marauders, always intent, and ready to pounce upon and plunder unprotected commu- nities of Unionists, north or south. There was, therefore, a stand- ing need of a defensive force along the whole river border, from Lawrenceburg to the mouth of the Wabash, and from this cause, almost entirely, eminated those active and efficient organizations of the Legion, whose services are elsewhere recorded in these pages. The people on the border were thus compelled to arm aud 140 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. associate themselves together for their own protection and safety, and in doing this, they ensured the safety and protection of their more favorably located fellow-citizens in the interior of the State, who, from their comparative immunity from danger, did not feel it to be their interest to make any defensive preparations. This ap- peared unequal, if not unjust Even on the border, in some of the counties most exposed and liable to invasion, the Legion was organized and maintained with the greatest difficulty, by a com- paratively small portion of the inhabitants, giving spasmodic evi- dence of vitality only when danger appeared, and lapsing into indifference when there was no reason to apprehend immediate trouble. At the close of the war, or as soon as events indicated that the strength of the rebellion was nearly exhausted, the law suddenly became as inoperative as if it had never been placed on the statute book, and every militia company was disbanded, as if by spon- taneous and general consent; thus clearly proving that even the imperfect organization of the home forces had resulted, not from any law requiring the performance of military duty, or from any principle of cohesion that would operate in time of peace, but from the external pressure and impending dangers already mentioned. In view of these facts, it can not be doubted that a law relying alone upon the generous impulses of the more patiotic members of communitv to maintain a militia force for the common good — to voluntarily lay aside their private business for the performance of duties, as much for the benefit of their indifferent neighbors as for themselves — must inevitably fall into disfavor and prove a failure. The burden ought to be distributed equally and justly, for all who are subject to bear arms, under the Constitution of Indiana, unde- niably owe so much of service as the public good may require. To fairly accomplish this, the following provisions are essential and and vital : 1st. " All able-bodied white male persons, between the ages of eighteen and forty-five years, except such as are exempted by the laws of the United States, or of this State," * should be enrolled annually. 2d. The quota of active militia, apportioned to the several Con- gressional Districts, should then be assigned on the basis of the enrollment. ^See Article XII. Constitution of Indlaua.. BIILITIA ORGANIZATION NECESSARY. 141 3d. The repidae enrolled, ov reserve militia^ should be assessed an annual tax, as commutation for exemption from service^ which tax should be sufficiently large to support the active militia without any additional assistance from the public treasnrv» The law should be free from complications and incongruous de- tails. Means should be provided for enforcing all its provisions promptly ; but all minor rules and regalations should be left to the Commander-in-Chief, who, from his intimate connection with the militia and knowledge of its ever-varying wants, could settle these matters understandingly and satisfactorily by issuing general orders, as the necessities of the service might require, NECESSITY JOR MIIITIA ORGANIZATION, The policy of maintaining at all times a well organized militia force, has been so completely vindicated by past events in our national history, and is so generally admitted by intelligent men of all classes and parties, there is scarcely any occasion for presenting an argument in its favor; yet attempts have been made to accom- plish this great end so frequently by legislation in this State, and as often resulted in failure, a few words in elucidation of its im- portance, and by way of warning, miay not be inappropriate. Remote as is this country from the great military powers of Europe ; separated by the broad Atlantic from countries that might, if in close proximity, be troublesome neighbors; having no pros- pect of rivalry for national supremacy on this continent, and cherishing our " ancient policy " of non-intervention in the affairs of foreign governments, we can never require, and the people will never consent to support a large standing army. The necessity of a constant preparation for war, however, is univerally acknowl- edged. Such a condition is the best conservator and surest guar- antor of peace. To dispense with the burden of a large regular force, and at the same time maintain an attitude sufficiently formidable to overawe domiestic malcontents and deter foreign aggression, we must rely mainly upon the militia. But no man, in these enlightened days, is a "natural born soldier," nor do any number of men, however brave, without the benefits conferred by organization, di^ipline, and "the school of the sol- dier," constitute an army, when superiority in military science as- sures success in the field and is of far more importance than untrain- ed numercial strength. It will be remembered that on the day after 142 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. President Lincoln issued his first call for troops, several Massachu- setts and New York regiments were en route for the National Capital. These regiments were armed, uniformed and well trained — the result of the militia system of those States. A moment's re- liection will show how vital it might have been to the fortunes of the Government to have been dejjrived of even this small force. Suppose, in the conspiracy concocted by the statesmen of the re- bellion, preparations had been made, as might easily and quietly have been done under discreet leadersiiip, simultaneous with the firing of the first gun on Sumter, to have thrown a force of a few thousand men into Washington. The treasure, archives and all the ensemble of the Government could have been captured and utterly destroyed, or carried oil", before armed and organized"lroops could have been sent in sufficient numbers to have prevented the dis- aster. The prestige of such a bold stroke would have been most crushing to the loyal people of this country, and in the highest de- gree encouraging to the rebels and to their sympathizers in the old world. While it would have enlightened the officers of our Gov- ernment as to the earnest determination of the men of the South to make, what at first was looked upon as a petty " insurrection," a formidable and bloody rebellion, unparalled in history, and in- cited the people of the North to a greater patriotism, (if such a thing were possible) itwould also have given additional strength and drawn out a corresponding feeling of devotion to the rebel cause. The first grand blunder of the war — " Bull Run," and its efllect upon the South — is the best evidence that can be adduced as to the encouragement the rebels would have derived from the capture of Washington. The fall of Richmond crushed the rebellion — the fall of Washington would have "crippled," for a time at least, the Union. The moral effect of such a triumph in their behalf would have told with tremendous power against us, and though the final termination of the struggle nuist inevitably have been adverse to the enemy, the end would probably have been delayed much longer and the waste of life and treasure much greater than is now re- corded in history. Of course "it might have been" when it was NOT, is a poor argument as the case turned out, but it is neverthe- less an admonition which it will Purely not be unwise to heed. Had the loyal States been prepared for war, their militia organ- ized on a sound basis to the extent that even ordinary prudence THE RAID ON NEWBURG. 143 would dictate, the rebellion would not have lasted through its four long years of desolation and blood. That the militia was not so organized may be attributed to the same inertia and indifference that now so completely clouds the public mind on this subject. We live in stirring times. The rebellion may not yet be sur- pressed. It.s tires may only be smouldering. The safest policy for State and Nation is to act upon the old motto: " Eternal vigi- lance IS THK priq;e of Libertv." THE RAID ON NEWBURG. riRST INVASION OF THE STATE- JULY 18, I 8 6 '2 . The first invasion of this State, or indeed of any of the free States, by an armed and organized force of rebels, occurred on the 18th day of July, 1862, at Newburg, the principal town of Warrick county, situate on the Ohio River fifteen miles above Evansville. The movement was hardly of a sufficiently formidable character to entitle it to the dignity of an " invasion," as the force consisted of but thirty-two officers and men, wiiose object was plunder and whose conduct was that of thieves rather than soldiers. The leader of these marauders was one Adam R. Johnson, a citizen of Henderson, Kentucky, who had previously served in the rebel army, and who was at this time in command of a small force of mounted men, some of whom were deserters from the Federal army — raiding through the southwestern counties of Kentucky, committing outrages upon the persons and depredations upon the property of such citizens as were suspected of sympathy with the Government of the United States. Whether Johnson held a coui- mission in the Confederate service at the time of this occurrence, or was acting as an independent guerrilla chief, is not definitely known, but it is known that the rank of Colonel was subsequently conferred upon him with authority to recruit or conscript for Bragg's army, and that he made his name infamous by acts of demoniac cruelty. His band became a terror throughout the region they infested, and when, in the summer of 1864, his career of active crime was terminated by a wound that deprived him of sight, there were few, even among the ardent friends of the Southern cause, who felt that his fate was undeserved. Although Newburg was not a military post, a hospital had been 144 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. established thrre which contained eighty or ninety sick and wounded Union soldiers, with a considerable amount of commissary and hospital stores. The muskets, accoutrements and ammunition of the two Newburg companies of the Legion, wiiich had been col- lected in some months previously, were also deposited in the hos- pital building; while in a warehouse, not far distant, seventy-five sabres and one hundred and thirty holsters and pistols were stored in the boxes in which they had been shipped, irhere being no in- dications of danger, no guard was stationed for the protection of the patients in the hospital or the public property. In nearly every community throughout the North there was a disloyal element — men whose sympathies were with the enemies of the Government and who were dangerous in proportion to their courage and to the opportunities which circumstances presented for mischief. Newburg was no exception to the general rule, while its particularly exposed position, and the near proximity of a rebel force, presented a most favorable opportunity for secession residents to covertly aid in striking a blow for the cause they so earnestly desired to serve, and for which they were willing to do anything that might be required, except perhaps to fight. Several men of this class had clandestinelv crossed the river and had sought interviews with Johnson. They had explained to him the situation of affairs, and shown that once in possession of the hospital and the arms of the Legion deposited there, the town and its inhabitants w^ould be at his mercy. Early in the morning, on the day of the raid, one of these domestic traitors visited the camp of Johnson's gang, and in concert with the leading spirits of the band, finally consummated arrangements for the proposed surprise. NEWBURG CAPTURED. Accordingly, at noon, when most of the citizens were at dinner, Johnson appeared on the bank of the river opposite Newburg, placed his men on a large ferry-boat, concealed them as wcU as possible, and rowed rapidly to the Indiana shore. As soon as the boat touched the landing a dash was made for the hospital, and the warehouse and the arms stored therein were at once secured. Pickets were thrown out in all directions, and the inhabitants were assured that their lives depended on remaining perfectly quiet. Johnson informed the citizens that he had a battery planted on the opposite side of the river so as to completely command the town, and that on the first appearance of resistance to any of his demands THE MILITIA CALLED OUT. 145 he would shell and destroy the place. There is reason to believe that this was a fiction, designed to promote quiet on the part of the people, while the work of plunder was going on. The soldiers in the hospital, fo the number of eighty-five, were required to t^io-n paroles of honor, in which the leader of the marauders was styled "A. R. Johnson, C. S. A."' These paroles were never claimed as valid by the Confederate authorities and were held as null and void by those who signed them. While Johnson was personally en- gaged in paroling the sick and wounded soldiers, his men, guided by some of the citizens, commenced the genial business of pillage. Houses were broken open and ransacked ; horses were taken from the stables, and coffee, sugar and other articles, that could readily be transported, were stolen in large quantities. In some instances property was spared on the assurance being given that its owners were " all right." Several citizens mingled freely with the invaders, drank with them and appeared delighted with their society. After remaining four or five hours, during which time the boat was kept busy in transporting their plunder, the commander ordered his men to embark and they were speedily transferred to the other shore. After their departure, two men, H. H. Carney and Elliott Mef- FOKD, who had been suspected of holding communication with the rebels, and who, on this occasion, had been particularly officious in pointing out property for seizure, were attacked and killed by some of the citizens. THE MILITIA CALLED OUT. Meantime Colonel Daniel F. Bates, commanding the Third Regiment, Indiana Legion, was engaged in rallying the county companies of his command. In a short time five companies were ready with arms for duty, but not before the rebels had accom- plished their purpose and effected their escape. The wildest rumors were circulated in every direction, and not only Warrick and adja- cent counties were alarmed, but the entire State was thoroughly aroused. A courier arrived at Evansville early in the afternoon with intelligence that the Newburg hospital was being sacked by a large band of Kentucky guerrillas. The signal of danger was given and in less than an hour one thousand men were under arms. Two steamers, the "Eugene" and " Courier," were fired up, and with infantry and artillery on board, proceeded up the river. Colonel William E. Hollingsworth, commanding the Second Regiment Vol. l.-ll. ' 146 ADJUTANT general's REPORT, Indiana Legion, also proceeded by the nearest land route to the scene of the disturbance with a small force of mounted men, but neither the water nor land expedition efTrcted anything beyond the destruction, by the former, of the boat in which the rebels tiad crossed and recrossed the Ohio. EXPEDITION TO KENTUCKY. JULY. 18 62. The situation in Western Kentucky, at the time of the raid on Ncwburg, (July 18th, 1862), was critical, Union men were plun- dered, and not unfrequently murdered in cold blood ; many of them were compelled to flee from their homes and abandon their property to merciless thieves, who, in the name of the so-called " Confederacy of America," either appropriated and carried away or destroyed, when they felt they dared do so, all that was useful to them, or destructable. The citizens of South Western Indiana, was subjected to constant alarms and dangers, and were scarcely less secure than their Union neighbors residing on the other side of the Ohio. Henderson city, twelve miles below Evansville, was occupied by the rebels under Adam Johnson; Joh.v Morgan was on his first raid through Central Kentucky, preliminary to the grand invasion of that section of the State by Kirby Smith and Bragg ; and everywhere, from the " Blue Grass region" to Padu- cah, the most energetic efforts were being made to raise recruits for the rebel army. Recruiting stations were opened at all points not occupied by our forces, and independent bands of guerrillas and desperadoes infested every neighborhood, and rendered the lives and property of Union citizens, on both sides of the river, so inse- cure as to call for immediate and vigorous action. Governor Morton had already sent off all effective forces that could be spared to repel the raid then in progress through Cen- tral Kentucky,* and to enable him to do so had called out a large number of militia to guard the rebel prisoners at Indianapolis. The border counties were thus unavoidably left to protect them- selves. The organizations of the Legion, as a general thing, were in poor condition, from lack of arms and experience, to interpose any formidable barrier to the progress of the enemy should he have undertaken to invade the State in any considerable force.

VOLUNTEERS FOR THE EXPEDITION. 147 ville was considered, and really was, in great peril, and the other towns on the lower Ohio river border of the State were exposed to invasion at any moment, and liable to be sacked and destroyed, almost without "let or hindrance." The Governor, therefore, im- mediately, on receipt of news of the Newburg outrage, determined to assume the offensive, organize an expedition sufficiently strong to penetrate the heart of the infected territory, and drive the rebels out, whereby he hoped to break up their recruiting stations, restore order in Kentucky, and secure our own border from the dangers that threatened and alarmed it. He accordingly advised witii General Boyle, commanding the District of Kentucky, and asked from him authority to organize an expedition against the rebels in that State, which was readily and gladly granted. In pursuance of the plans laid for this campaign, Major General Love, commanding the Indiana Legion, was dispatched on the 18th of July, at midnight, to Evansville, by special train, with one com- pany of troops, and one thousand stand of arms, a section of field artillery, and a large supply of ammunition. Brigadier General Blythe, of the Legion, whose headquarters were at Evansville, was enjoined to exercise the utmost vigilance in watching and guarding exposed points on the Ohio river, pending the arrival of General Love ; and on the morning of the 19th, a call was made by the Governor for volunteers, and the Legion on the border was ordered on duty. Among to the first to respond were six hundred citizens of De- catur county, recruited in a few hours by Colonels James GAvrA\, Seventh Indiana Volunteers, and John T. Wilder, Seventeenth Indiana Volunteers, who happened at the time to be at their homes on short leaves of absence from their regiments. In announcing the readiness of the Decatur volunteers to receive orders for im- mediate service. Colonel Gavin telegraphed on the same day the call was issued, as follows : " These men want to fight. I want to take them where there is dan- ger. They are fighting men. Please arm them and send them off at once where they can do active duty. They are better men than you can get." The Newburg raid had aroused the indignation of the people of the whole State, and the disposition to inflict immediate punish- ment upon the rebels was manifest in every locality and is forcibly indicated in the above dispatch. The Governor replied : 148 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. " Brin«^ vour men here. 1 will send them to Evansville immedi- ately, armed for a fight." On receiving this order, Colonels Gavin and Wildku started at once for the scene of operations with their enthusiastic volunteers stoppin<^ only long enough at Indianapolis to be mustered into the United States' service for thirty days, arriving at Evansville on the evening of the 20th. The men were organized into six companies. Two fine companies from Terre Haute, (one of them the " Union Rifles," Captain Melvillk D. Topping,* splendidly armed and equipped and neatly uniformed,) tendered their services, were ac- cepted and reached Evansville also on the 20th. From Lafayette, two companies were accepted under Captains Godlovk S. Orth and Samuel A. Huff, and were despatched to Evansville on the 2 1st. Governor Morton also proceeded thither and arrived tlic same evening. The ten companies thus thrown together were or- ganized as the Seventy-Sixth Regiment Indiana Volunteers.f A German company of Terre Haute, one hundred strong, was also sent forward, and numerous tenders of independent companies from many counties were made, but being in excess of the number required were not accepted. General Love arrived at Evansville early on the 19th, and found everything in confusion ; but by judicious management, order was soon evoked from chaos, public confidence restored, and prepara- ■tions speedily completed for the proposed expedition. A steam ram, belonging to the United States, lying at the landing, by di- • rection of the Governor, was 'pressed into service until a gun-boat could be procured from the fleet below. Captain Topping's com- pany w^as placed on board and ordered to proceed up Green River, to relieve two steam boats, which it was believed the rebels were aiming to capture, and also to protect the locks on that stream. The day following, (the 20th,) General Love telegraphed the re- turn of the ram, wnth Captain Topping's company, the safety of the locks, and that the rebels were reported by reliable Union men as having abandoned that line of operations and returned toward Henderson. In addition to the authority given by General Boyle to the Governor to carry on the war in- the Green river country of Kentucky, he ordered Colonel Gavin to mount his regiment and enjoined upon him to " Drive out the rebel bands in Henderson, ♦AflTwards Lieutenant-Colonel of the Seventy-First Regiment— killed at Richmond, Kentucky, August :!Oth, lSrt2. jSe* Volume III, page 9, of this Report. INDIAN I ANS IN KENTUCKY. 149 Davis, Webster and Union counties, shooting down all guerrillas in arms and all making armed resistance." Adding — "They must be shot — nothing else will do; I do not want such prisoners." In response to the application of the Governor for a gun-boat, Captain Pennock, of the United States Navy, responded in person, and reported to General Love with two armed steamers, the " Clara Dolson," and "Rob Rov," on which w^ere a detachment of Illinois troops, under Colonel Moore, and a battery, under Major Starring, detailed by General Strong, commanding at Cairo. These boats were directed to cruise up and down the river, wdth the view of protecting the towns from pillage, and affording such assistance to General Love as might be required. Captain Union Bethel, of Warrick county, reported with a company of the Legion, mounted, and, after unceasing labor, all things were in readiness for a for- ward movement by midnight of the 21st. The following dispatch, from the Governor to his Military Sec- retary, forwarded immediately on his arrival at Evansville, on the 22d, will show the position of alTairs at that time, and convey some idea of the rapidity with which the troops — most of them suddenly drav^n from their farms and shops, and from widely distant points — had been, concentrated, organized, armed, equipped, many of them mounted, and transported to the field of active operations.* " About one o'clock this morning, near one thousand infantry, cavalry and artiller}-, crossed the river to Henderson, and took possession without opposition. At day- light, Colonel Gavin advanced into the interior, -with five hundred men. ram " Hornet " has gone up the river, with one company (Okth's) on board, to visit all the lowns. There is much excitement in the country, on both sides of tlie i-iver. Another company went to Henderson this afternoon." General Love remained a week at Henderson and in that vicin- ity, sending out detachments into the surrounding country after the rebels, who, as soon as it w^as ascertained that vigorous means had been resorted to, to hunt them down, suddenly left that part of the State. Several skirmishes occurred, and a few of the enemy, with their horses and arms, were captured. The influence exerted by the presence of our troops was at once marked and salutary ; Unionists, who had been compelled to seek safety in Indiana, soon returned, confident of protection ; while the disloyal were made to understand that treasonable practices could no longer be indulged in with impunity. Lieutenant Colonel John W. Foster, of the *Thi8 was all accomplished in sixty-four hours after the Kewbiirg Kairl. 150 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. Twenty-Fifth Indiana, afterward Colonel of the Sixty-Fifth, was left in command of Henderson. The thirty days troops continued in service until the exjairation of their term, when they were relieved by the Sixty-Fifth Indiana, and returned to their homes. The course pursued by Governor Morton for the defense of Kentucky, and for the security of our southern border, was warmly approved by the President and Secretary of War, and was grate- fully acknowledged by General Boym:. It was only occasionally, alterward, that the rebels dared venture back, and then only in small numbers, on hurried forays — plunder and the murder of Union men being their principal objects. KIRBY SMITH'S CAMPAIGN— 1862. liUAGGS' IMVASION OF KENTUCKY. In the month of August, 1862, the right wing of General Brax- ton Bragg's rebel army, consisting of some twenty thousand men, under command of General E. Kirby Smith, was concen- trated at Knoxville, Tennessee, and other points in that vicinity preparatory to the fulfulment of the part assigned it in the Con- federate plan of a general advance upon the North, and a transfer of the seat of war beyond the limits of the Confederacy. Leaving a force of eight thousand, under command of General Stephenson, in front of Cumberland Gap — then occupied by Gen- eral G. W. Morgan, with a small division of the Army of the Ohio — General Smith, with twelve thousand men, the veterans of his command, pressed through Big Creek, and Rogers' Gaps of the Cumberland Mountains, and moved towards the " Bine Grass Region,"' of Kentucky ; his obvious intention being, to menace, and, if possible, capture and sack Cincinnati, and other cities and towns, north of the Ohio river ; destroy important rail roads, and break up other means of communication ; detain re-inforcements from General Buei.l, and force the withdrawal, from the Jront, of a large part of the Union army, required for the })rotection of such exposed and defenseless points, on the Ohio and Indiana border, as his advance would threaten. Buell's army, being thus weakened by demands for home defense, and the new levies, under the second call, for three hundred thousand men, not having been raised, and sent to the field, the rebel authorities confidently expected the main portion of Bragg's army, under his immediate command, would be morgan's co-operative raid. 151 able to enter Kentucky, with comparatively little opposition, and, after capturing Louisville, and re-inforcing his army by recruits from the disloyal element of Kentucky, form a junction with Smith, for an extensive line of operations, in any direction circumstances might appear to justify. The hope of securing recruits, in large numbers, was by no means visionary, as it was well known that thousands in Kentucky were only waiting a favorable opportunity to array themselves under the rebel standard, while even at that time, recruiting for John Morgan's cavalry was being prosecuted with marked success in the south-western section of the State, and scores of young men were added to Smith's force in every county along his line of march. A few weeks later, several entire regi- ments of cavalry were raised in the " Blue Grass Region," which finally left the State with the invaders, splendidly mounted at their own expense. irORGAJJ'S CO-OPERATIVE RAID. As a prelude to the grand invasion, General Smith had dis- patched the cavalry force of John Morgan on an extensive raid through parts of Tennessee and Kentucky. Leaving Knoxville on the 4th of July, Morgan moved by way of Sparta, Tornpkinsville, Lebanon, Cynthiana, Paris, Crab Orchard and Somerset, capturing and paroling small garrisons at many points, securing large acces- sions of recruits and supplying his men with arms, accoutrements, clothing and horses. On the 10th, General Jeremiah T. Boylk, commanding the District of Kentucky, telegraphed from Frankfort to Governor Morton for troops : " Rebels invading Kentucky. Send your battery to-night and any forces you can possibly spare. Put the Legion in order for motion and direct as many as possible to report to my headquaters to-morrow." The Governor promptly replied : "Our batteries sent to Washington last week. The only organ- ized United States troops we have are guarding prisoners and can not be spared. I have telegraphed about the Legion, but fear no companies are in shape to move." At this time Major General Love, of the Legion, was on the border endeavoring to organize the militia in Vanderburg and Posey. He was at once telegraphed to, but replied that there were no com- panies organized and in condition to answer General Boyle's call. 152 ADJUTANT general's KEPOUT. Generals Blythi:, Mansfield and Downey, of the Legion, were ordered to call out their forces, — the last two officers being required, in addition to guarding the border, to furnish enough men to guard Camp Morton rebel prison, so as to allow a part of the three months' troops (also of the Legion) then guarding prisoners to be sent to General Boyle. The result of this order was all that could have been expected; the response was so prompt the Governor was able, on the 11th, to send seven companies — six hundrd men — of the Fifty-Fifth Indiana Volunteers, under Lieutenant Colonel Mahan, fully armed and equipped and well disciplined, to the capital of Iventucky via Louisville. The same day General Love was ordered from Evansville to Louisville, by the Governor, to confer with General Boyle in relation to aflording him additional relief, if possible, with the Legion. Love reached Louisville on the 14th, and telegraphed the follow- ing report : " I apprehend no danger to Louisville. Morgan has a force said to be fifteen hundred — not half tiiat in my judgement — with which he doubtless proposes to stop our communications with Nashville, creating confusion and plundering as he goes. One good regiment of cavalry would drive him from the State. Henderson and vicinity are most in danger." On the same day, in compliance with General Boy'le's requisi- sition, Governor Morton sent from the Indiana Arsenal two car loads of ammunition by special train for the use of the troops at Frankfort; and on the 17th four hundred men of the Fifty-Fourth Indiana Volunteers, under Lieutenant Colonel Knox, were sent from Camp Morton to General Boyle. High excitement prevailed on the border, as the I^egion, imperfectly organized as it was, was compelled to take the place of the disciplined forces in charge of Camp Morton, containing four thousand rebel prisoners, and guard the border besides. The Jeimings county regiment — ten full com- panies — responded to the call under Major, afterwards Colonel, Kennedy Brown in a body; besides seven other companies from various counties promptly reported, all being umstered into the United States' service for thirty days. The border was thus left to its own resources for defense, and tlie danger of invasion, for aught the people knew, was immediate and very great. New difficulties sprang up hourly. On the 12th, while the Governor was trying to help General Boyle in Kentucky, and put HENDERSON AND EVANSVILLE IN DANGER. 153 the reserve forces of Indiana in a fit condition for home defense, General Green Clay Smith, Commanding at Henderson, Ken- tucky, telegraphed the commanding officer of the Legion at Evans- ville, as follows : " On account of the raid at Tompkinsville, Kentucky, nearly all my troops have been withdrawn from this post, and I feel myself in no condition to resist an attack, which I am informed by reliable citizens will be made upon us within a day or two. Therefore, I wish you would send down, by the first boat, two hundred of your Indiana Legion, with at least five days' rations, so that in case it be necessary I can send them into the country prepared for any emergency." At this time, it should be remembered, the Legion was scarcely a " skeleton organization ; " besides, Evansville was, from its size and importance as a northern city and the vast amount of "plun- der" it contained, in quite as much danger of being attacked as Henderson. There was no artillery on the border, and but few of the companies of the Legion enrolled were armed. So, of course, it was impossible to conjply with General Smith's request. General Love, after conferring with the military authorities at Louisville, hastened back to the lower counties on the Ohio river, for the purpose of completing the organization of the Legion, and the Governor succeeded in securing a few thousand muskets for use in that quarter. The raid on New^burg followed on the 18th of July, and was the means of stirring up the people to a sense of their situation, which they had never known before. Newburg was captured ; Green Clay Smith was driven out of Henderson ; the whole " Green River country" over-run with rebel bands, and the Indiana border threatened with invasion at many points. Morgan finished his first raid through Kentucky on the 27th of July, at which date he re-crossed the Cumberland into Tennessee, having marched more than a thousand miles in twenty -four days. The command moved to Sparta, where it remained until near the last of August, when it again took the field and moved on Galla- tin, capturing the small garrison stationed there. Pushing forward to the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, Morgan destroyed the track for some distance, and cut the telegraph wires, thus breaking up Buell's line of supplies and severing his communication with the North. Returning to Gallatin, Morgan encountered a Federal 154 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. force of six hundred men, under General Johnsox, and, after a brief engagement, succeeded in capturing a part and dispersing the re- mainder. A small detachment of the Fiftieth Indiana Volunteers, under Captain Atkisson, garrisoning a stockade at Edgefield Junction, repulsed Morgan's force three times, with heavy loss, and successfully held the position. At Hartsville, Tennessee, on the 28th of August, Morgan re- ceived an order from his commanding officer. General Smith, to join him at Lexington, Kentucky, on the 2d of September, and the next day marched by way of Scottsville, Glasgow, Columbia, Liberty, Houstonville, Danville and Nicholasville, cautiously picking his way between Federal forces, as if anxious to avoid a collision, and arriving at Lexington on the 4th of September. SIGNS OF TEOUBLE. The earliest indications of the contemplated invasion by Kirby Smith were closely watched by Generals Buell and G. W. Mor- gan, and promptly reported to the War Department and the mili- tary authorities of Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio. Impelled by a necessity that admitted of no delay, the Government bent every energy to the work of placing the new levies, under the call of July, in the field. The Secretary of War urgently appealed to this State to use the utmost dispatch in filling its quota, 21,250 men. To this appeal Governor Morton replied, on the 9th of Au- gust, with the assurance that the men would be raised in twenty days. On the 8th, the Governor received a telegram from General Buell, then at Huntsville, Alabama, stating that a formidable raid threat- ened Kentucky, and earnestly recommending that troops should be sent to General Boyle, with the utmost dispatch. Two days later General Boyle forwarded a dispatch from General Morgan, dated at Cumberland Gap, giving the numbers and position of the ene- my, as nearly as could be ascertained, and expressing the opinion that Smith would invade Kentucky by way of Jamestown and Big Creek Gap. This opinion was reiterated on the 12th, with ad- ditional details relative to the accumulation of transportation at Knoxville, and other preparatory steps, leaving no doubt of the speedy realization of Bukll's apprehensions and Morgan's predic- tions. UPRISING OF THE PEOPLE. 155 INDIANA AT WORK. So prompt had been the response of the State to the call of the Government, by the evening of the 11th, not less than 20,000 men were gathered at various rendezvous, waiting to be mustered and armed, and on that day two regiments were forwarded to Kentucky. The Secretary of "War, having authorized General Buell, to dispose of all troops raised in this State, until further orders, that officer telegraphed from Huntsville, on the 12th, that Morgan had again crossed the Cumberland, and earnestly urged the forwarding of troops to General Boyle. On the morning of the 13th, the Seventieth Regiment left India- napolis for Louisville, and reported to the commanding officer at Bowling Green on the 15th, being the first of the new levies raised and the first sent to Kentucky from any State, under the then pending call. Another regiment was sent on the 16th, and another on the following day. At the same date the Governor was informed that Smith's forces were marching through Big Creek Gap; that the rebels, under Morgan, had again invaded Kentucky, had cap- tured Somerset, and were marching on Glasgow, Bowling Green and other points. In transmitting this speedy information Gen- eral Boyle added, " I hope the patriotic soldiers of Indiana will not wait for bounties. Our State will be overrun if they do and your own borders desolated." At this date, (as has been noticed) John Morgan cut off all communication with Nashville, and General Buell. The intentions of the enemy were now clearly apparent; the formidable invasion of Kentucky was an actual fact, and the danger to our own border imminent. The people in all parts of the State were thoroughly aroused, and different sections vied with each other as to which should be first to fill its quota. Camps were full of troops impatiently wait- ing for mustering officers. Arms were not provided by the Gov- ernment, and could not be procured by the Governor, at the mo- ment in sufficient quantity, to supply the forces, impatiently wait- ing to be off to the field. Colonel Henry B. Carrington, of the regular army, one of the most active and efficient mustering offi- cers and organizers in the service, was detailed by the Secretary of War, with orders to relieve Colonel Simonson as Chief Mustering and Disbursing officer for the State.* Colonel Carrington reported =''Appeudix, Doc. No. 77. 156 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. to Governor Morton on the 18th, and entered upon his duties with a zeal and energy productive of the happiest result?. During that day the Seventy-First was mustered and drew their arms. At this point a difficulty arose, from the fact that funds to pay the advance bounty, to which the men of the Seventy-First were entitled, had not been forwarded from Washington, Many had left their homes suddenly, without providing for the maintenance of their families, expecting to receive the stipulated bounty-money in time to remit it before going to the field. They felt a natural reluctance to leaving the State, with the chances of battle in the immediate future, unless the wants of their families could be at least temporarily provided for. Governor Morton addressed the troops, explaining the urgent necessity of their instant departure, and proposed to send the money to them as soon as it could be obtained. Every murmur was hushed, and the men, with cheerful alacrity, shouldered their guns and started for the front. On the morning of the 19th, the Governor effected an arrangement with citizens and bankers, of Indianapolis and Cincinnati, for an ad- vance of nearly half a million dollars, and during that day and the succeeding night, the Twelfth and Sixteenth, (re-organized) Sixty-Eighth, and Sixty-Ninth Regiments were mustered, paid, and started for Kentucky. By the evening of the 20th, the Sixty- Fifth, Sixty-Sixth, and Sixty-Seventh Regiments had also been placed under the orders of General Boyle. The money due the Seventy- First was promptly forwarded, and paid on the Richmond battle- field, half an hour before the action opened. Still the work went on. All the camps of rendezvous were crowded. Mustering Officers, Paymasters, Quartermasters, and Commissaries, worked by day and night. The Governor and his military staff labored with little cessation for needful rest. The Seventy-Fourth and Seventy-Fifth Regiments were mustered, and moved forward on the 21st. On the 27th and 28th two regiments were sent forward, and were followed by from one to three regi- ments daily, for several successive days. The Eighteenth, Nine- teenth, and Twenty-First Batteries, Light Artillery, were also filled to the maximum, armed and equipped, and sent to the field. Others were in process of organization, but were delayed for the want of horses, arms, and equipments, The Fifth Cavalry Volunteers was mustered, and assigned to duty on our southern border, and a bat- talion of the Fourth Cavalry organized and sent to Kentucky. BATTLE OF RICHMOND." 157 The Ohio river, at this period, was fordable at many points, and as all available United States troops had been sent out of the State, (except the Fifth Cavalry) the duty of defending the border, as before stated, devolved mainly upon the Legion, aided by such minute-men as could be hastily organized and armed. On the 5th of September, Governor Mortoii issued an order,* declaring martial law, and closing all places of business in the sev- eral cities and town in the counties bordering on the Ohio river at three o'clock, p. m., each day ; requiring all able-bodied white male citizens, between the ages of eighteen and forty-five, residing in said border counties, to organize themselves into companies, elect offi- cers, and report for orders to the commanding officer of the Legion in their respective counties, arming themselves with such arms as could be procured, and paying strict attention to drill and discipline. This order was obeyed with great spirit and cheerfulness, and so thoroughly was the river guarded and all weak points garrisoned, the peace of the State was securely preserved, although the Ken- tucky counties adjacent were swarming with desperate and ven- tursome bands of guerrillas and marauders. At the Indiana Arsenal about seven hundred hands were em- ployed in the fabrication of ammunition, turning out an average of 300,000 rounds daily. BATTLE OF RICHMOND. Events soon proved that the anxiety of General Boyle to have Indiana's quota hurried into Kentucky, was well founded and the unprecedented efforts made by the State authorities were fully justified. Six regiments, the Twelfih, Sixteenth, Fifty-Fifth, Sixty-Sixth, Sixty-lNinth and Seventy-First, with the Ninety- Fifth Ohio, Eighteenth Kentucky, a detachment of Kentucky cav- alry and two batteries manned principally by teamsters and train guards cut off from Cumberland Gap, had been moved beyond Lexington towards the advancing army of General Smith, and on the 29th and 30th of August, fought the well contested and sanguin ary engagement known as the Battle of Richmond. The eight regi- ments, of infantry were divided into two brigades, the First con- sisting of the Sixteenth, Fifty-Fifth, Sitxty-Ninth and Seventy- First Indiana, under command of Brigadier General Mahlon D. Manson ; and the Second consisting of the Twelfth and Sixty- Sixth Indiana, Eighteenth Kentucky, Ninety-Fifth Ohio, a Bat- *Appendix, Doc. No. 12i. 158 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. talioii of the Third Tennessee, and Lanpheau's Michigan Battery, under command of Brigadier General Charles Cnci'T, both expe- rienced and brave officers from this State. The Indiana regiments had been in the service only from ten to tv^'enty days, during wliich time they had made such frequent changes of encampments, and had been so heavily drawn upon for guard duty that but little time had been devoted to drill. They were brave atjd patriotic armed and uniformed men — rather than trained and disciplined soldiers. The disastrous result of the battle is well known.- Two thou- sand officers and men, including General Manson, were captured and paroled. The loss in killed and wounded in the Indiana regi- ments was nearly one thousand. Colonel Link, of the Twelfth, Lieutenant-Colonel Wolfe, of the Sixteenth, and Lieutenant-Col- onel Topping, of the Seventy-First, were among the killed. Nine pieces of artillery fell into the hands of the enemy. The enemy's forces, by the admission of rebel officers, numbered twelve thousand infantry, four thousand cavalry and sixteen pieces of artillery. General Manson states that not more than twenty- five hundred men on the Union side were engaged at any one time. General Boyle manifested his high appreciation of the gallantry of our troops, and the efforts of our authorities, in the following dispatch to the President: Louisville, September Isf, 1862. rRB;sii)ENT LiN'COLN, Washington: The battle near Riclimond was disastrous to us. Six Indiana, one Kentucky, and one Ohio regiment, besides some Kentucky cavahy, were in the engagement. Our troops, especially the Indlanians, fought with the courage and gallantry of veterans. If Ohio and Illinois had supported Indiana, and had sent their troops on, the issue of the battle would have been different. Governor jNIouton has sent to this State since I have been in command here, over twenty thousand men. If other States had done so well, we could have overwhelmed the enemy. I deplore the loss that noble Indiana has sustained under the circumstances. It was important to meet the enemy before he reached the center of the State, or crossed it, and Indiana ap- preciating the importance of it, sent her gallant soldiers to meet the insolent foe, no doubt feeling that they would be supported by Oliio, Illinois and Kentucky. Lexington is reported in possession of the enemy. [Signed,] J. T. Boyle, Brigadier General. RESULTS. But however disastrous 'in their immediate results, the more remote effects of this engagement were incalculably advantageous CINCINNATI AND LOUISVILLE THREATENED. 159 to the Union cause. The hitherto uninterrupted progress of the invading army was checked ; time was gained to put Cincinnati in such a state of defense that Smith, having marched to Lexington, Paris and Cynthiana, and reconnoitred in front of Covington, de- cided that the time was gone by for an attempt to accomplish the first object of his campaign, and accordingly marched on Frankfort, which place had been evacuated by the Union troops. SIEGE OF CINCINNATI. On the 6th of September, while Smith was advancing toward Covington, Major General Wright, commanding the Department, appealed to Governor Morton for troops to aid in the defense of Cincinnati, which was believed to be in imminent danger. The Eighty-Fifth and Eighty-Sixth regiments were sent forward. Twenty-four pieces of artillery, 3,000 stand of arms, 31,136 rounds of artillery ammunition and 3,365,000 musket cartridges were for- warded from the State Arsenal by speci-al train, and were delivered at Cincinnati and Covington within fifteen hours from the receipt of the requisition. Governor Morton and his military staff, with a number of officers, among whom were Major General Lf.w. Wallace, Generals Thomas A. Morris, Ebenezer Dumont and John Love and Major W. W, Frybarger, proceeded to Cincinnati to assist in organizing the troops and in other defensive arrange- ments. General Wallace was assigned to the command of the defenses, and the experience of the other officers rendered their ser- vices peculiarly valuable at so critical a period.* LOUISVILLE THREAT E NED. No sooner had the withdrawal of Smith's forces from the vicinity of Covington and their concentration at Frankfort relieved the authorities at Cincinnati from the apprehension of an immediate attack, than the danger which had for some time threatened Louis- ville, from Bragg's column, became alarmingly imminent. Bragg, who had crossed the Tennessee River soon after Smith had crossed the Cumberland mountains, was steadily moving tov>'ards the Ohio, slov^'ly followed by Buell and his army. The garrison at Bowling Green had been withdrawn at the suggestion of Governor Morton, *Mr. W'hitelaw Reid, in his excellent history, "Ohio in the War," gives a very glowing account of the sit'gB of Cinciunati, — accurate ns far as it goes, but entirely silent as to the part taken by Indiana in that memorable affair. As Mr. Rkid's book was written for the especial glorification of^his State, it may be well enough to excuse his omission of Indiana's share in the ''glory" of the Cinciniiati "siege;" yet the people of Cincinnati, unlike their historian, awarded the highest praise to Indiana, and especially to Governor Morton, for timely assistance rendered. In com- memoration, the City Council ordered the Governor's portrait to be painted by IJuchanan KtiC, and it now hangs in the Council Chamber. 160 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. and was thereby saved from capture. On the 17tli of September he telegraphed General Boyle recommending that immediate steps be taken to relieve the garrison at Mumfordville, and urging the General commanding to fortify Louisville, suspend business and put the citizens under drill. He also adopted measures to secure light draft boats and have them supplied with artillery to serve as gunboats in patroling the Ohio. Works were planned and batteries placed on the heights of New Albany, under tlu; direction of Colonel Carrixgton and Major Frvbarger, to cover the fords and the low lands west of Louisville. M U N FORI) S V I L I, K CAPTURED. Meantime the enemy had advanced on Munfordsville, which after a gallant defense of three days under Colonels Wilder and Dunham* was surrendered to Bragg's whole army on the morning of the 17th, and the garrison, consistingof the Sixty-Seventh, Sixty- Eighth and Eighty-Ninth, seven companies of the Sixtieth, two companies of the; Seventy-Fourth and two hundred and four recruits for the Seventeenth Indiana Regiment, with a few other troops, were paroled, and on the 18th marched to Bowling Green, where BuELL had been resting for some time within sound of the guns of Munfordsville. This battle, like that of Richmond, though resulting in defeat^ served the important purpose of retarding the enemy. Time was gained to perfect the defenses at Louisville, which was so well improved that General Bragg, having received a negative reply to liis demand for the surrender of the city, declined to attack and moved towards Bardstown, while Buei-l's column entered Louis- ville, the advance arriving on the 27th. Governor Morton and staff had proceeded there on the 22d instant to complete the outfit of newly raised Indiana troops, many of whom had been hurried forward without being suitably equipped for field service. All the old Indiana troops were also visited and such assistance and encouragement rendered as was possible. General Buell's army was speedily reorganized and reequipped, and on the 1st of October moved from Louisville to drive the rebel army from Kentucky, The battle of Perryville (" Chaplain Hills") was fought on the 8th, and Bragg and Smith at once beat a hasty retreat from the State. *The rebels attacked on the 14th and were repnlHed with very heavy loss. The surrender was re- fused until Colonel Wilpeb had personally inspected the enemy's position and satisfied himself that Brago's whole army was besieging him. THE IIINES RAID. 101 R E 8 U M E . "While the events already noticed were transpiring in Kentucky and Ohio, the work of raising, organizing and forwarding troops (as has been shown) was vigorously pressed forward in our own Slate. The first to furnish a regiment under the call of July, 1862, and the jSrst to fill her quota, in a little over one month she had or- ganized more than thirty thousand three years' troops. Her regi- ments had, with little assistance, fought the battles of Richmond and Munfordsville — checking the enemy in his advance on Cincinnati and liouisviile, and participating in every movement made for the expulsion of the invaders from Kentucky. During this period the security of our border was menaced by formidable bands of rebels v/ho were held in check by the untiring vigilance of the Indiana Legion and minute-men, by whom the Ohio river was patroled for a distance of nearly four hundred miles, and about four thousand rebel prisoners securely guarded. Every demand of the General Government, and of neighboring States, was fully and promptly responded to, with a zealous energy that was as accepta- ble and animating to the loyal cause, as it was unwelcome and dis- heartening to the rebels. THE HINES RAID. INVASION OF THE STATE, JUNE, 1863 Some lime in May, 1863, a company of Kentucky cavalry, un- der Captain Thomas H. Hines, belonging to GeneralJoHN H. Mor- gan's division, w^as sent from the rebel army in Tennessee to Ken- tucky, to take charge of a camp for recruiting disabled horses, with permission "to operate against the enemy north of the Cumberland river." Improving on the probable scope of this authority, Captain HixES, after "operating" a short time in the line of his "con- valescent horse " duties, and againt the Union men of Kentucky on the 17th of June, with the assistance of some wood-boats ob- tained of his friends, crossed into Indiana, eighteen miles above Cannelton, with sixty-two men, his particular object being to pick up as many fresh horses as might conveniently be found. After Vol. 1.— 12. IGli ADJUTANT general's REPORT, making arraiigcjiients with his ferrymen to meet him in aboat three clay^, at a eonvenient point, he pressed info the interior, in the direction of Paoli, Orange county, takmg the precaution to protect his flanks, as completely as the limited extent of his force would allow, by scouts judiciously thrown out. Under the as- sumed cliaracter that he and his gang belonged to the Union army, and were acting under proper orders from General Boylk, commanding the District of Kentucky, in search of deserters, he at first found but little difficulty in securing a number of excel- lent horses, leaving his own jaded and broken-down animals in tiieir stead, and coolly and "in due form" giving vouchers upon the Federal Quartermaster at Indianapolis for the difference in value, which he accommodatingly fixed at a satisfactory and liberal rate. But his impudent disguise was soon suspected, and before his arrival on the second day of the raid at Valeen, Orange county, the whole secret of his mission became known, and the alarm, with many exaggerations as to the strength of his force and the damage he iiad done, spread with astonishing rapidity throughout the counties of Perry, Orange, Crawford, Washington and Harrison and the adjacent country. It is unofficially reported that at Valeen the rebels demanded cooked rations of the citizens, and, not being sujiplied to their sat- isfaction, they attempted to fire the place, with partial success. Before they reached Paoli, preparations had been made to re- ceive them, learning which they made a sudden detour to the west, and passed round the place, taking horses as they went, to a point about seven miles northeast, where they encountered a force of fifteen armed citizens, whom they captured and plundered. Two more citizens arriving a few moments after, they were ordered to surrender, and, upon refusing, one was knocked off his horse and disabled, and the other shot and mortally wounded while trying to escape. His name was Jamks Lisk. At this point they succeeded in procuring a guide, Mr. Buyant Brkedon, whom they supposed to be "reliable," and pressed on in their march, though very late at night, to Hardinsburg, Washington county, where they arrived about day-light. PURSUIT AND CAPTURE. W^hile these events were transpiring, the men of the Legion and such of the citizens as could immediately be armed, made rapid THE REBELS ENCOMPASSED. 163 preparations for pursuit. Sixty armed minute-men from Paoli, joined by a number from Valeen and the neighboring settlements, and a mounted battalion of the Legion from Leavenworth, under Majors Horatio Woodbury and Robert E. Clendenin, moved promptly on the rebel trail. Colonel Charles Fournier, of Perry county, commanding the Fifth Regiment of the Legion, took active measures to defend the line of the river in the rebel rear. As soon as he was informed of their entrance into the State, he called out as many mounted men as possible, and started for Flint Island Bar, to protect the Govern- ment ram "Monarch," then lying at that point entirely exposed, and the destruction of which was supposed to be the object of the raid. He arrived at ten o'clock at night, and finding that Hines had gone northward, and that there was no probable danger of in- terference with the ram. Captain Essary, commanding the second battalion of the Fifth Regiment of the Legion, was dispatched with a sufficient force to intercept the enemy at Blue River Island, it having been reported that he would attempt to re-cross the river at that point. Colonel Fournier, as a precaution, so placed the re- mainder of his command as to certainly protect the ram, should a detachment of the rebels be sent to destroy her. There were thus two forces closing in upon the marauder — the one under Majors Woodbury and Clendenin, pushing him back to the river, and the other under Captain Essary, moving in be- tween him and the expected outlet. The former followed the rebel track through Hardinsburg to near Fredericksburg, in the south- western part of Washington county, where, learning that the enemy was hastening toward the Ohio, they pressed forward v^^ith all pos- sible speed. Arriving within a short distance of Leavenworth, the force was divided, Major Woodbury taking the upper road leading toward Corydon, and Major Clendenin taking the road along the river, so as to reach the anticipated rebel crossing in time to head them off, while the other force, closing in above, would lock them in, and thus compel a fight or surrender. The combined movement was pressed with vigor. Captain Es- sary promptly reached his destination, and the other portion of our force soon chased the enemy to the expected crossing-place, to which he had been compelled to fly nearly a day sooner than he had counted upon ; consequently, wdien he reached the Ohio, at two o'clock P. M., on the 19th, there were no boats ready for his 164 ADJUTANT general's REPOKT. use; a sulficient force to badly whip him was posted in liis front. and rear, and it was useless to think of getting any relief, under such circumstances, from boats — even should an attempt be made to send them. In this dilemma, the rebel commander maneuvered to avoid a collision with the militia and citizens, and turned to his guide to help him to another crossing-place. The guide, being a true Union man, unwillingly impressed into the ejiemy's service, determined to make the most of his position, and the delay which he bewilderingly(?) caused in finding what he reported to be a practicable ford, enabled the river guard on duty at and near Leavenworth, below, to arm the steamer "Izetta," and start her up stream to aid the land forces in preventing the rebel exodus. In due time, Hines was easily lured by his guide to the Blue River Island, about three miles above Leavenworth, where the channel on the Indiana side is shallow and easily fordable in low water, (as it was at the time.) with deep and swift water between the island and the southern shore. Major Clexdenin's command, including Captain Essary's company, soon came up, and the rebels, thinking their only safety was in crossing the "ford" which lay before them, plunged in with triumphant yells, bearing their booty with them, and soon reached the island. Here, while huddled together, view- ing the rather unfavorable prospect beyond. Major Clendenin open- ed fire, and they ineffectually discharged some shots in return, and then, as a last resort, attempted to swdm to the Kentucky bank ; but the "Isetta," at this opportune moment, opened upon them, with a piece of artillery and some small arms, and forced them back — Captain Hines and two men only escaping. Three men were killed, three wounded, and two drowned, according to one report; ac- cording to another, four men were killed outright, and four more wounded and drowned. One Captain, one Lieutenant (an Adju- tant), and fifty men surrendered as prisoners of war, and were sent to Louisville upon the order of General Boyle. Five horses were lost in the attempt to cross the river, but the remainder were cap- tured, and those which were stolen from our citizens were returned, while the arms and other property were duly turned over to the Government authorities. Considerable property was stolen by the rebels at Valeen, Hardinsburg, King's Mills, and at farm-houses along their route, but the amount in value has not been reported. As Major Clendenin was receiving the prisoners and taking an account of the captured property. Major Woodbury, with his THE RAID OF MORGAN. 165 mounted force, ajjpeared. They were much disappointed in not arriving in time to participate in the capture, to which their ener- getic pursuit had largely contributed. The honor of the affair may be fairly divided between Major Clendenin, Major Wood- bury and the Legion of Crawford, Perry and Harrison counties^ John R. Simpson, formerly Adjutant of the Fiftieth Indiana Vol- unteers, also took part in the capture, organizing and commanding several squads of minute-men hastily banded together from the counties of Washington, Orange, Crawford and Harrison. Mr. Bryant Breeden deserves especial credit for his tact in misguid- ing the rebels. Private Findley McNaughton, of the First Indi- ana Cavalry, who was "gobbled up" as a prisoner, managed, while in the custody of the rebels, to send one of Mr. Breeden's little boys, who was following his father "to see the fun," to Leavenworth, with, information of the intent of the rebels to recross the Ohio above that point, thus enabling the citizens to patrol the channel with the steamer and check their retreat, as has been already stated. Captain Hines, single-handed and alone, a few days afterwards, joined Morgan at Brandenburg, and took part in the celebrated raid through Indiana and Ohio in July, 1863. He was a dashing and daring officer; was captured with his chief and with him made his escape from the Ohio penitentiary, and clung to his bold riders with a zeal worthy of a better cause until the final collapse of the rebellion. THE RAID OF MORGAN. INVASION OF THE STATE-JULY. 1863. The invasion of Indiana in the summer of 1863 by a division of rebel troops, under command of General John H. Morgan, when considered in the light of events then pending, must always be re- garded as a prominent feature in our history. No hostile military movement of any consequence, except that resulting in the battle of Tippecanoe, had ever before been made in our territory. The invasion, or " raid," as it was called, was intended, as will be here- after shown, to distract and disarrange the plans and movements of the federal forces then threatening the rebel army of the West with annihilation, but in its results proved to be only a wild and reckless adventure, failing almost entirely of its object, and ending in sad discomfiture to the rebel cause. Its projectors sought to make it 166 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. the moans of escape from a trap in which the superior generalship and overwhelming strength of Rosecrans and his co-operators had involved them; it was a desperate make-shift, a kind of "forlorn hope" maneuver, to extricate the army of Bragg from apparent destruction. While the "raid" was a failure and mistake, it oc- casioned our people much inconvenience, and created an intense excitement; and the plunderings, burnings and damages, which fell upon our citizens living within its track, were by no means in- considerable. It is proper, therefore, as a matter of local history, connected with the rebellion, that an account of it should be given in tiiis report, ITS ORIGIN AND OBJECT- The. circumstances which gave rise to the raid may be briefly stated: First — the necessities, in a military sense, of the rebel army in the West ; and, second — the condition of feeling on the part of a considerable portion of the people of this and adjoining States, which seemed to promise encouragement to so desperate an enterprize. As to the necessities of the rebels, we have a full, and perhaps fair, account in General Bazil Duke's " History of Morgan's Cavalry." Duke was Morgan's factotum — first serving as his Lieutenant; and afterwards, when the great marauder was made a Brigadier, he was promoted to succeed him as Colonel of the origi- nal regiment of " Morgan's Cavalry." He was his confidential ad- viser and friend, and was with him in all his campaigns, except one. Duke had, therefore, every opportunity of informing himself of Morgan's plans and movements, and his admitted ability and sprightliness guarantee his statements as worthy of consideration in the preparation of this narrative. General Duke substantially says, that just before the raid was undertaken, the position of the rebel army in Tennessee, under Bragg and Buckner, was perilous; that Rosecrans was strong enough to press Bragg hard at Tulla- homa — Buckner, in East Tennessee, being too weak to help him, or even to protect himself against the imminent attack of Burnside — while, in addition, tliere was a large National force scattered along a convenient line to the east, under General Judah, which could keep open communications for Rosecrans, and resist rebel raids in that quarter so long as the hostile armies remained in their positions, or could be concentrated, when an advance was ordered, morcan's tour de force. 167 and thus make the force on Bragg still more formidable. The problem, as viewed by the rebels — who well understood the import- ant fact that General Judah, in Burnside's department, as Duke states, was in command of " about 5000 excellent cavalry " — was to avert the immediate danger of a blow upon Bragg's flank from this cavalr}'- force. General Morgan advised a raid through Indi- ana and Ohio, with the double object of preventing Burnside from moving on Buckner, in East Tennessee, and preventing Judah's cavalry from making a junction with Rosecrans. His experience in raiding through Kentucky enabled him to argue, with plausibili- ty, that a new raid upon that State, alone, would be disastrous and crushed out so quickly that its effects would not justify the risks and dangers of the venture ; w^hile, he contended, a grand foray through Indiana and Ohio would keep a large force of Union troops employed upon its track for weeks.* Bragg, as he was apt to do, took a " conservative view " of the situation, and would only allow Morgan to make a raid through Kentucky, expressly stipula- ting m his order that it should not extend beyond the Ohio River. The Morgan Raid was, therefore, made in disobedience of orders; so Duke positively states. This fact is only important as sh(nving Morgan's disposition to have his own way, and, as he generally did, to conduct his campaigns in a peculiarly independent manner, which, by the way, was the great secret of his fame, and the mag- net which attracted to his standard so many bright and adventur- ous young Kentuckians, of whom his command was principally composed. General Bragg knew the peril of Morgan's proposed movement, and evidently feared the effect the isolation, and per- haps loss, of so important and valuable a force of cavalry would have upon, his army; but he probably did not appreciate the ad- vantages of its brilliant success", should it be successful, to the same extent that Morgan hoped. The "vim" and "dash" of Morgan impelled him to over-ride the orders of his superior, and like a reckless and desperate bravado as he was, he determined to meet and if possible overcome the dangers which encompassed the rebel army in the West by a tour de force that would carry consternation and dismay to the hitherto peaceful regions north of the Ohio. It is unnecessary here to enter upon details as to the condition of feeling entertained by many persons in the North on the subject of *l"i)o Kaid lasted five dajs in Indiaua, and twelve and a half dajs in Ohio. 168 ADJUTANT GKNERAL S REPORT, the war; the sympathy exhited in behalf of the rebel cause, not only in legitimate opposition to the policy and measures of the Federal Government, but in the commission of illegal acts; the organization of treasonable societies and movements, and the de" claration of treasonable sentiments by speeches, newspaper articles, and resolutions; and the effect all these sympathetic evidences may have had in determining Morgan's extraordinary, bold, and unau- thorized course; but the candid historian, in after days, may iind in the facts themselves ample material for investigation as to the inducements which detached, at such a perilous crisis, so important a command from Bragg's army. Bragg's situation undoubtedly required a raid, or some similar distracting movement, but if the diversity of sentiment and treas- onable evidences, to which allusion has been made, had not reached Morgan's ears, does it seem probable that the "territory North of the Ohio" would have been deemed good ground upon which to make such a hazardous experiment? His orders were not to come here. Would he have disobeyed his orders and jeopardized the safety of his army, in which he and the whole "Confederacy" felt so much pride, if he had not thought that these friendly indications were founded upon a reality that would "crop out" in substantial form upon his appearance in a country where rebel plundering and the marauder's torch had not before been known? He was ordered to make a raid through Kentucky, and the temptation to go be- yond, for the purpose of recruiting his "mount," and procuring supplies, w^hich his command so much needed, was very great ; but is it likely that even these inducements would have caused him to extend his march beyond the prescribed bounds, if treasonable indications of sympathy and assistance had not been shown by means of the press and by other channels through which they sought expression and became known to the rebels in the South?* R A 1 1) T H R U G H K E N T U U K Y . Morgan's disvision of rebel cavalry, — consisting, according to General Duke, of two brigades, the first numbering 1,460 men, the second 1,000 men, in all 2,460, with four pieces of artillery, — started from Alexandria, Tennessee, on the 11th of June, 1863, on the haz- ardous expedition which was to end in the death or capture of nearly every man connected with it. Its march through the northern edge of Tennessee and through Kentucky, it does not comport with *Seo " Internnl State Troubles" in this Report. ARRANGEMENTS FOR CROSSING TliE OHIO. IQ^ the purpose of this account to relate at any length. It had several pretty hard skirmishes on the way, particularly at the crossing of Green River on the 4th of July, in which it was badly beaten ; and on the 5th at Lebanon, where it was successful, but with consider- able loss, including General Morgan's youngest brother, Thomas, First Lieutenant, Second Kentucky, who was killed at the last moment of the engagement. The 4th of July, 1863, was remarka- bly unfortunate for rebels everywhere. Morgan found it no more auspicious than did Pkmberton, or Lee, or any other of the dozen commanders who fought on that day, not only against the arms and gallantry of the national troops, but against every sentiment and memory that stirs the blood of the true American ! On the 6th, at dark, about thirty miles from Louisville, a train on the Louisville and Nashville railroad was captured, and by '•tapping" the telegraph wire it was ascertained by Morgan that he was expected at Louisville. " Tapping the telegraph " was a frequent and sometimes very important operation for Morgan, as he thereby learned the position of our forces and either avoided them, or prepared to attack them, as he deemed best. On the morning of the 7th, after crossing Salt River, Captains Taylor and Merriwether, of the Tenth Kentucky, were sent forward with a detachment to the Ohio River to capture steamers to carry the division over to this State. At the same time, Captain Davis, with two companies, was dispatched to cross the Ohio at Tvv^elve-Mile Island, to give employment to the militia of lower Indiana, and leave the main body free from attack from that quar- ter, with orders to rejoin the division at Salem. The result of this last enterprise is thus stated by General Duke : "Captain Davis crossed into Indiana with the two companies assigned him, but failed to rejoin the division, and was surrounded by overwhelming numbers, and himself and the greater part of his command cap- tured."* This detachment was thus permanently lost to the expe- dition, as well as three other companies left at various points in Kentucky, leaving the effective force for the invasion, according to Duke, about 2,200 men.f After sen ding out these detachments, the division proceeded to *Thi8 may possibly be an error, as no report of the affair was eyer made by our officers.— A.

Garnettsvillo, where it remained till midnight, then advanced to Brandenburg, where it arrived about nine o'clock on the morning of the 8rh. At Bandcnburg it was joined by Captain Hines, who had been " raiding" in a small way a short time before in Crawford, Orange and Harrison counties in this State, but so unprofitably that he left pretty nearly all his command behin.d him in the hands of our militia.* CROSSING THE OHIO. Brandenburg is a small town situated on a high bluff about fifty miles below Louisville, on the Kentucky shore, and two miles above Maukport, a small Indiana town. The two officers charged with the duty of providing ferriage for the division, arrived shortly after leaving the main column, and directly captured the steamer "J. T. McCoombs," in the Louisville and Henderson trade. She ran up to the wharf about 2o'clock in the afternoon of the Tth, and the mo- ment she touched, a rebel squad boarded her and took possession. As if forture were resolved to favor them to the utmost, a second steamer, the " Alice Dean," came in sight 'round the bend below, a short time after, and they prepared to capture her also. As her course made it apparent that she did not intend to land, they ran the ''' McCoombs " out to her, signaling her to stop. When the two boats touched, a party boarded the "Dean" and secured her, and thus ample means of ferriage were obtained in a very few hours, and all were ready for the arrival of the main column. Information of these proceedings having reached Lieutenant Colonel William J. Ihvin, at Maukport, he dispatched messen- gers to Colonel Lewis Jordan, at Corydon, requesting troops to assist in preventing the rebels from crossing. The steamer " Lady Pike" coming up the river, about the same time, was stopped and sent back to Leavenworth for a piece of artillery and its gunners, of the Indiana Legion, then stationed at that point. The boat returned at midnight with a six pounder and thirty men under com- mand of Captain G. W. Lyon, of the Crawford county Artillery. To avoid the observation of the rebels at Brandenburg, the boat landed two miles below Maukport, and the gun was hauled by hand to that place, where Colonel John Timberlake, with one hundred of the Harrison county Legion, took command and proceeded with the united forces to a point opposite Brandenburg. He crossed Buck creek by means of an old boat, and his men dragged the gun «See "Hiacii' Raid," in tbia volume. THE FIGHT AT THE RIVER. 171 through the fields and placed it in position at 7 o'clock on the morn- ing of the 8th in front of an old house opposite the landing. For an hour or two the Kentucky bank was concealed by a dense fog. Morgan arrived before it lifted, and at once began his pre- parations for crossing. As soon as the fog allowed the opposite bank to be seen, Captain Lyon trained his gun on the "Mc Coombs" and sent a shot through her, frightening off the rebels, who had just commenced embarking, and wounding one of their brigade quartermasters. Several shots were fired after those who were in retreat from the boats, and some were seen to fall as they hurried up the road out of range. Then, being informed that the rebel force was very small, less than 200 men, and hoping to save the steamers. Captain Lvon changed the direction of his fire to the grou|)s of cavalry on the bank, driving them out of sight to the rear of the town. Supposing that the rebels had been, by this de- monstration, induced to abandon their project of invasion, Colonel TiMBERLAKE Ordered the " McCoombs" to cross to the Indiana side and take his command over to Brandenburg, but the order was of course unheeded. In a few minutes some pieces of artillery was put into position by the rebels on Brandenburg hights and opened an accurate and fatal fire on Lyon's gun, Lieutenant James H. Current, of the Maukport Rifles, and citizen George Nance, of Harrison county, being killed while working it. Our artillery-men having no covering but the old house, which the rebel guns made untenable, fell back about half a mile out of range, hauling their gun with them. At the same time a portion of the rebel force opened a fusillade upon the remainder of our men who were post- ed along the bank to resist the passage of the boats, and the fire was sharply returned. Soon, however, the rebel artillery was brought into play, which compelled the little Union force to fall back. The Second Kentucky and Ninth Tennessee Regiments of the rebels were immediately sent across the river, leaving their horses behind them. Colonel Timberlake, with a small force, rallied to the gun and fired several unavailing shots at the boat while it was crossing. As soon as a landing was effected, the rebels formed under the bank and advanced, capturing the gun and several prisoners. Colonel Timberlake seeing he was greatly overmatched, fell back in good order toward Corydon. Major Jacob S. Pfrimmer, of the Sixth Regiment of the Legion, in command of a small body of mounted men, kept up a brisk skirmish with the rebel advance 172 ADJUTANT general's KEPORT. guard, on the diflercnt roads leading to Corydon, till late in tlie evening, when our retreating force reached the line of battle formed by two hundred men, under Colonel Jordan, six miles from Cory- don, on the Maukport road. A small squad of the "Mounted Hoosiers," bi-longing to the Sixth Legion, under Captain William FoRQUOR, acting as scouts, came into collision with the enemy while thev were advancing, but sustained no injury, except the Captain, whose horse under the fire dashed him against a tree, but without disabling him. The scouts skirmished and were on the alert during the night, the rebels having halted near our line, and both parties throwing out pickets. While this retreat and pursuit were in progress, an interesting state of affairs for Morgan had been created by a little gunboat. General Dukk relates that directly after the return of the two steamers from their first trip to the Indiana side, a small boat, "tightly boarded up with tiers of heavy oak planking," ran rapidly down the river and opened fire, first on Brandenburg, and then on the rebel force pressing after the Legion. Two of Morgan's guns in battery on the Hights replied, and for an hour a duel was main- tained between the boat and the battery, with no particular injury to either, but to the fearful discomfiture of the rebel General and the peril of his enterprise. He could not put a steamer across while the gunboat kept in easy range; a single shot might send the whole to the bottom ; consequently he could neither join the two regiments already landed, nor get them back, and he could not tell what force or fate they might meet when fairly out upon Indi- ana soil. He was cut in two, and the gunboat kept the fragments apart. She held his expedition completely at the cotnmand of her guns; but, unaccountably, after an hour's firing, she ran back up the river, and Morgan at once began sending his force across in the utmost haste. About five o'clock P. M., the same gun-boat came back with two transports, (ordinary steamers,) with a battalion of the Seventy- First Indiana, under Colonel Biddle, and a section of the Twenty- Third Indiana Battery, under Lieutenant Ross,. The gun-boat was in advance, under an officer of the Western Flotilla, who com- manded the expedition. Morgan stopped crossing, and held his boats around a bend of the river out of range, his battery on the Hights firing with rapidity, but without damage, at the little fleet. The ofiicer in command of the gun-boat claimed that his craft was ■"See operations of ludiana Legion, Lt^gislative Documents of 18(J5. PREPARATIONS FOR RESISTANCE. 173 only bullet-proof, and that Morgan's guns would sink him, and therefore withdrew and proceeded up the river. The two trans- ports remained for some time, and kept up the artillery engage- ment with the battery on shore until one of Lieutenant Ross' guns became disabled by the breaking of the boat's deck from the re- coil, when it being plainly seen that the rebels had decidedly the advantage, the transports also withdrew. The remainder of Morgan's division at once crossed, and ad- vanced and encamped a few miles from the river. They plundered freely. Their historian says they "found the larders unlocked, fires on the hearths, bread half made up, and the chickens parading about the doors with a confidence that was touching, but misplac- ed." In other words, the rebels helped themselves to whatever they wanted and could find in the houses of the poor people they had scared into the woods. They burned the mill of Mr. Peter Lopp, on Buck creek, three miles from the river, their first exploit in that line in the State. Four miles south of Corydon one of their soldiers was shot near the house of Rev. Peter Glenn, whom they induced by a flag of truce to come out unarmed to meet them, when they killed him and burned his house and out-buildings. PREPARATIONS FOR RESISTANCE. The first information of Morgan's movements which indicated the probability of iiis approach to our border, was conveyed to Brigadier General O. B. Willcox, commanding the Di.>trict of In- diana and Michigan, by Major General Burnside, who had re- ceived it from Brigadier General J. T. Boyle, commanding the District of Kentucky, on the 4th of .July, the same day that Mor- gan was defeated at Green River bridge. General Boyle stated that a cavalry force, supposed to be about 4,000 strong, with artil- lery, commanded by John H. Morgan, had crossed the Cumber- land river, and was advancing upon the Louisville and Nashville Railroad. He also stated that he had no available United States troops in Kentucky, and earnestly requested the assistance of an adequate force to check the invasion. General Burnside ordered the Seventy-First Indiana, and any available cavalry and artillery in the State, to be sent at once to Kentucky. General Willcox promptly dispatched the Seventy-First Indiana Regiment, two companies of the Third Indiana Cavalry, and Myers' Twenty- Third Indiana Battery to Louisville, where they reported to General 174 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. Boyle on the following morning. This movement left Indian- apolis, of United States troops, only two companies of the Sixty- Third Indiana, doing guard duty at the Soldiers' Home, s^ome hundreds of recently exchanged prisoners of the Fifty-First and Seventy-Third Indiana, and a small number of recruitj=. This stripping the State of National troops, though necessitated by the aspect of affairs in Kentucky at the time, was unfortunate, and the more so because our home defenses were in a far less effi- cient condition than they should have been. Governor Morton, to whom an invasion of our Southern border was an ever present peril, had used every means in his power to provide adequate defenses, but with far less than satisfactory success. The Legion, though generally organized with more or less completeness through- out the border counties, was too often a mere skeleton, or loose aggregation of citizens, with little military discipline or knowledge. And where better organized and more sedulously drilled, it was too feeble in numbers to present an effectual resistance to veteran ene- mies. A sufTiciency of arms had not been supplied, and as late as the 29th of June, the Governor had telegraphed to the Secretary of War for 25,000 stand of arms and 12 pieces of artillery for State use. But the most serious deficiency was in mounted troops, of which we had not more than two hundred, besides a few squads of armed citizens using their own horses, who were called out by the emergency. Against veteran cavalry, recruiting, as horses be- came exhausted, by stealing in all directions, raw levies of infantry could not, even with the greatest facilities for transportation, be made very eflective. General Willcox, General Wallace and General Downey, all speak particulary of this deficiency and its unfortunate consequences.* With one-tenth of the forces we had in arms during the raid, well mounted, Morgan never could have escaped from the State. On the reception of information that Morgan was marching northward through Kentucky, Governor Morton telegraphed Colonel E. A. Maginniss, at New Albany, to order out all the forces at his command, and send a messenger to Colonel Jordan, of Harrison county, with instructions that he should also order out his command immediately; also to put Knapp's battery, the German artillery of Floyd county, on a steamer and send it to the mouth of Salt River to prevent guerrillas from crossing the Ohio. He also notified General Boyle of his purpose to cooperate heartily in any *See operations of ludiana Legion, Legislative Documents, 186{<. INFORMATION WANTED. 175 movement to resist Morgan, and asked information as to \he rebel force and its whereabouts. General Boyle's reply the next day was that be did not know where Morgan was, but that he had captured the Twentieth Kentucky at Lsebanon. Before night General Boyle's want of information was rather alarmingly sup- plied, as he telegraphed to Governor Morton that the companies of our Legion in Clarke county, if there were any, should be sent to him at Louisville, as Morgan was then between Lebanon and Louisville. The next day, the 6th of July, he again telegraphed the Governor that he had learned nothing further of Morgan's movements, except that the telegraph operator at the Junction re- ported cannonading as having been heard in the direction of Bards- town. But the General did not believe that Morgan would come to Louisville, and he did believe that the forces of Generals Hobson and Suacklefokd, then in pursuit, would overtake and beat him. Governor Morton, as little influenced by General Boyle's sudden confidence as by his premature alarm, ordered the Legion to retain their organization and arms, and be in readiness for prompt service. Part of the force called out, at the request of General Willcox, was ordered to Louisville, and Colonel Deland's First Michigan Sharp- shooters and the Twelfth Michigan Battery were ordered from Michigan to this State. On the morning of the 8th of July unofficial information was re- ceived that the apprehensions which had impelled these precaution- ary steps were realized, and that Morgan was on the bank of the Ohio preparing to cross. Burnside, at Cincinnati, was immedi- ately informed of the movement, and a request to the Chief of Ordinance at Washington for a number of batteries of smooth- bored six-pounder and twelve-pounder howitzers was promptly answered that the guns were on the way from St. Louis. To General Boyle, whose solicitations had deprived us of all our available Government troops, an earnest request was sent that he should dispatch a force to the threatened points to prevent the rebels from crossing, or to drive them out if they had crossed. " You have all our regular troops," said Governor Morton ; " please slate what steps have been taken to arrest the progress of the rebels." General Boyle made no reply, in the evening of the same day news was received that the rebels had crossed. The next day, the 9th, a second dispatch was sent to General Boyle asking informa- tion of Morgan's movements. No reply was made. To a third 176 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. dispatch, he answered from New Albany that " Morgan is near Corydon, and will move either upon New Albany or into the inte- rior of the State. He has no less than 4,000 men and six pieces of artillery. General Hobsox in pursuit of him is at Bran- denburg, and has sent for transports to cross his forces. Your cities and towns will be sacked and pillaged if you do not bring out your State forces." This was the first official information Governor Morton had received in regard to the invasion. The sagacity that warned us to bring out our State forces if we would save our towns from pillage, could only be paralleled by the generosity that accompanied the warning witli no offer to assist us even with our own troops! Before the receipt of General Boyle's belated news, General WiLLCox, cooj^erating with Governor Morton, had made such pre- parations as he could to meet the rebels. He ordered all the rail- road cars and locomotives to be secured for the transportation of the militia, their arms and supplies; the Government Quartermas- ter, Commissary and Ordnance Officers were directed to furnish everything that might be required for properly equipping and sup- plying the troops, and the Superintendetit of the State Arsenal at once put a large force at work in preparing ammunition, of which there was not a sufficient supply. The receipt of the ffi'st official information of the invasion was immediately made the occasion for the publication of a General Order,* dated at the Executive Department, July 9th, announcing the presence of a considerable rebel force in the State, and order- ing that all able-bodied wfiite male citizens in the several counties south of the National Road should forthwith form themselves into companies of at least sixty persons, elect officers, and arm them- selves with such arms as they could procure. The companies thus formed were required to perfect themselves in military drill as rap- idly as possible, and hold themselves subject to further orders from the Executive. They were requested to be mounted, in all cases, if possible. Citizens in other parts of the State were earnestly re- quested to form military companies, and be ready for service when called for. Prompt reports by telegraph of the formation of com- panies were desired. Officers of the Indiana Legion were charged with the execution of the order, and the United States officers were requested to render such assistance as they were able. ■^'Appendix Doc. No. 99. THE 1 £.oPLE CALLED OUT. 177 At the same time a dispatch was sent to Captain Pknnock, com- manding the river fleet at Cairo, informing him of the invasion, and requesting the assistance of all his available gun-boats to pre- vent the rebels from re-crossing the Ohio. The Captain replied that there were six gun-boats up the river, and he would at once send more. A request was telegraphed to General Bur\side to send back the troops and artillery sent to Kentucky a few days before ; and it was suggested to him by the Governor that Morgan would probably attempt to get back into Kentucky at some point between Madison and Louisville. He therefore urged the proprie- ty of placing a lot of spare artillery, collected at Louisville, upon boats and patmiing the river between Louisville and Lawrence- burg, General Burnside promptly replied that he had directed passenger boats not to run between Cincinnati and Louisville with- out guards, and had requested that a proper disposition be made of the gun-boats, both above and below Louisville, to prevent the enemy from re-crossing. He ordered General Boyle to i)atrol the river, as suggested by the Governor, and assured the latter of suf- ficient National troops to repel any attack, and of his desire to do whatever he could to protect the State in the emergency. In order to apply the Governor's suggestion of arming ordinary steamers as river patrols. General Willcox at once sent Lieutenant-Commander Geo. BRO^vN, of the Navy, then in Indianapolis on leave, to the Ohio to organize and command a number of these extemporary gun-boats, which he proceeded to do in a thorough and satisfactory manner The idea proved to be a good one, and Morgan's escape across the river at one of the many fords between Louisville and Cincinnati was probably prevented, and his jfinal capture assured, by this means. Having no arms suitable for cavalry, the Governor purchased of Messrs. B. Kittredge & Co., Cincinnati, eight hundred Wesson carbines; and arrangements were made whereby 17,000 muskets, 25,000 sets of accoutrements and 2 batteries of artillery were pro- cured from the St. Louis Arsenal in time to be issued to the rapidly organized militia. To give the injunctions of the general order issued on the 9th more direct and immediate effect, the Governor, on the day follow- ing, addressed a dispatch to prominent and leading citizens in all easily accessible counties in the central and northern portions of the State, requesting that all available men of their neighborhoods be brought to the capital at the earliest moment, organized bycom- Yol. 1.— 13. • 178 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. panies, with their blankets; and that runners be sent out in their couniies to give infornjation and call out all who were willing to volunteiT. 11 M S P N S E OF THE P E ]' L E . While the authorities were busy with these preparations, the p(^ople were gathering in such numbers as never could have been anticipated, not only along the track of the rebel march, but all over the State. The call of the Governor, the conflicting and ex- aggerated rumors that were afloat, and the anxious disposition felt in every locality to assist in catching and chastising the invaders, created the greatest excitement and enthusiasm. In less than twenty-four hours after the dispatch was sent out soliciting indi- vidual cooperation in bringing out troops, the gentlemen addressed reported an aggregate of 5,000 men for service, and outside of their eflbrts 10,000 more had been gathered and were on the way to the capital. On the same day, the 10th, the Governor informed General BuRNsiDB that ho would have 15,000 militia in Indianapolis on that day. Within two days 20,000 men had been actually mus- tered at Indianapolis, and the authorities had notice of the organi- zation and readiness for service of 45,000 more. The gathering of 65,000 men in forty-eight hours is such a dis- play of patriotic energy and devotion as may safely chalkmge a comparison with any similar exhibition in history. And the cir- cumstances under which it was made enhance its magnitude and merit greatly. Farmers were in the midst of harvest; they were weak-h;uided from the absence of scores of thousands of sons and brothers in the army, and the impossibility of replacing them with other laborers; at the best, the ripening crops could be but indifier- ently secured, and to desert them to resist the rebels, for they knew not how long, was equivalent, so far as they could tell, to losing them utterly. Manufactories, mills, mechanics' shops, were equally in want of laborers, and would suffer greatly if w^ork were suspended for even a day. Yet farmers left their grain to rot in the fields, mechanics dropped their tools, merchants abandoned their stores, professional men their desks, clerks forgot their ledgers, and students their text-books, and young and old alike all swarmed in constantly thickening throngs to the capital, or the nearest place of rendezvous, as if there were no duty or interest of that hour but the safety of the State. Indianapolis, which was the great central mustering place, was converted into a huge barrack. There were soldiers in every open lot and square, in every vacant building, in REINFORCEMENTS FROM OTHER STATES. 179 halls, ill lofts, in the streets. Railway trains were rushing in every hoar, crowded inside and outside with shouting masses. The country roads were cloudy with dust raised by the tread of com- panies hurrying from every school district and neighborhood. The labor of organizing and equipping so great a force in so short a time was immense, but the authorities were as zealous as the people, and the work was done. General Willcox,* and his staff officers were vigilant, energetic, sleepless. Major General Lewis Wallace, at the request of the Governor, was detailed by the War Department to assist in the defense of the State. Bri to recuperate and rob ; the detachment on the right taking Green- ville, in Floyd county, and that on the left entering Paoli, in Orange county. These movements were well calculated to distract the at- tention of our authorities, and confuse their arrangements to pro- tect important points, as they left it uncertain where he intended to strike. From Paoli, he threatened the Ohio and Mississippi Rail" road at Mitchell. From Palmyra, he could strike the New Albany and Salem Railroad at Salem ; and from Greenville, he had within easy reach both the New Albany Railroad at New Providence, and the Jeffersonville Railroad at Vienna. Morgan, however, either deemed it unsafe to scatter his forces in so many directions, or ac- complished all he aimed at in simply thus showing himself, for the detachments, after taking all the horses and plundering all the farm houses within reach in Harrison, Crawford, Orange, Floyd and Washington counties, through portions of each of which they pass- ed, converged towards Salem, in Washington county, where the entire force arrived at nine o'clock on the morning of the 10th. A T S A I. i; M . They easily dispersed the squads of badly armed Minute-men th at came out to meet them, entered the town without difficulty, and cap- tured a company of the Washington county Legion, commanded by Captain Johx .Davis, which unknowingly came in just after they had entered, for the purpose of receiving their arms and ammuni- tion to resist the raid.* A small force under Hon. James A.

Cut for the prudent caution of the engineer, who suspected danger from the number of mount- ed men he saw near the track, the last mentioned company would have been caught inevitably, and the whole train lost. At Salem, Morgan burned the large railroad bridge, destroyed several small bridges and culverts, tore up the track for a considerable distance, and burned the depot, with its contents. He also levied ^1,000.00 upon each of the mills of the vicinity, and plundered all the stores? and most of the dwellings. In fact, such a scene of pillage was enacted as was certainly neVer before witnessed in this State, and probably nowhere else. General Duke's description of it is too graphic to be omitted. He says : " This disposition to wholesale plunder exceeded anything that any of us had ever seen before* The great cause for apprehension which our situation might have inspired seemed only to make the men reckless. Calico was the staple article of appropriaticni. Each man who could get one, tied a bolt of it to his saddle, only to throw it away and get a fresh one at the first opportunity. They did not pillage with any sort of method or reason. It seemed to be a mania, senseless and pur- poseless. One man carried a bird-cage, with three canaries in it, two days. Another rode with a chafing-dish, which looked like a small metalic coffin, on the pommel of his saddle, until an officer forced him to throw it away. Although the weather was intensely w^arm, another, still, slung seven pairs of skates around his neck, and chuckled over his acquisition! They pillaged like boys rob- bing an orchard. I would not have believed that such a passion could have been developed so ludicrously among any body of civilized men." The rebels did not stay long in Salem. Detachments were sent out towards Brownstown, Jackson county, on the direct road to Indianapolis, which was picketed and scouted by two companies of mounted Minute-men, under Captain Meedy W. Shields, and towards Orleans. Morgan soon discovered that his road northward was too hazardous to attempt, and hearing that General Hobson with a large cavalry force was following hard upon his track, and long, of fi :. it was loaded to the muzzle, and mouted in the Public Square by be.ng propped against a stick rewood. It was not fired, however, fur the man depute! to perform that important duty some- what astonished by the sudden dash into town, dropped the coal or hie with which he shouiU bavo touched it off, and before he could get another, the rebels captured the piece.

M., and hurried towards the Ohio with the apparent single object of putting that stream between himself and the hornets' nest he had roused, as speedily as possible. THE FLIGHT AND PURSUIT- General Hobson with about 4,000 mounted men and some pieces of artillery, of General Judah's command, had been following Morgan through Kentucky for several days. On the morning of the 9th he arrived at Brandenburg, about the time that the rebel advance was skirmishing with our forces on the road to Corydon. A portion of their rear guard was still in sight on this side of the river, and the "Alice Dean," which had been set on fire after serving their purpose, was still burning near the Indiana bank. A nun)ber of steamers, in response to General Hobson's application for means of ferriage, arrived from Louisville about noon, and the command commenced crossing. The advance, instead of pressing on, en- camped on a convenient hill, and awaited the passage of the main body. They and their horses, however, needed rest; and the ad" vance, alone, was too weak to have rendered any very effective assistance to our force at Corydon. By three o'clock on the morn- ing of the 10th, the entire command had crossed, and the pursuit was resumed. At ten o'clock it reached Corydon, when it was twenty-five miles behind Morgan, who was then at Salem. After a brief halt, it pushed on and at night encamped within a few miles of Salem. In the meanwhile Morgan, by a rapid march to the east, passed through the villages of Canton and New Philadelphia, and reached Vienna, on the JefFersonville railroad, at six o'clock in the evening. He made no halt there, but pressed on, though his troops were so much wearied they consumed nearly the whole night in passing. The citizens were not molested. At a little grocery near the depot they obtained some provisions and paid for them in "greenbacks." The depot and bridge were burned by a small detachment, while the main body continued its march; but the bridge was repaired a few hours afterward. At this place. General Duke says, Morgan "tapped the telegraph," having captured the operator before he could give the alarm, and learned "that orders had been given to the militia to fell timber and blockade all the roads we [the rebels] THE "siege" of VERNON. 187 would .be likely to travel — our rapid marching having, hitherto, saved us this annoyance." That night he reached Lexington, the county seat of Scott county, eight miles east of Vienna, and en- camped. He, with a small escort, slept in the town. During the night a small party of Colonel Sering's troops, from Madison, who were out scouting, entered the place, made a few observations and dashed away without molestation. A movement was commenced to intercept Morgan at Vienna, on the afternoon of the 10th, by sending a brigade of infantry and a battery of artillery from JefFersonville by rail, under Brigadier General AT. D. Manson, and the troops were already embarked on the cars in high spirits, when an order from General Boyle, to whose command the post at Jeffersonville belonged, stopped them. It is probable that the revelation, made by the appearance of our scouts at Lexington, of the preparations in progress to prevent his reaching the Ohio in the direction of Madison, induced Mor- gan to again change his course. From Corydon he had moved northward to Salem, with the probable design of attacking or threatening Indianapolis, but he soon discovered that that route was impracticable, and so changed his course eastward, doubtless in the hope of finding an outlet at some not very distant point across the river, which had now became a serious obstacle and vexation to him. Baffled on almost every hand, he moved out of Lexington on the morning of the 11th, in a northerly direction to- wards Vernon, throwing out a detachment to make a feint against Madison, and thereby to prevent our troops there from moving up the Madison and Indianapolis railroad to give him trouble on that line. At Vernon there were two large bridges on the Madison railroad, which he might destroy ; and at North Vernon, four miles further north, the Madison railroad crossed the Ohio and Mississippi railroad, and presented a most inviting field for destruc- tion, and the surest means of preventing pursuit by our troops South and West. But our authorities were as well aware of the importance of these lines of road as he was, and as soon as it was know that he had turned eastward from Salem, General Willcox took measures to protect his communications by ordering a part of General Love's force, then at Seymour, to Vernon. Colonel Williams' and Colonel Burkams' regiments of the Legion, \vere accordingly sent forward, with four pieces of artillery, by the Ohio and Mississippi railroad, and they were instructed to hold the place 188 ADJUTANT GENERAL S REPORT. at all hazards. General Lovi-: was also ordered to move 1o the same point as soon as practicable with the remainder of his force. Leavinof Colonel Burkam at North Vernon, Colonel Williams took his own regiment and one company of Colonel Eurkam's, witii two pieces of artillery, to Vernon, and posted them so as to defend the bridges and the town. With some armed citizens of Jenniwgs county, his whole force was about 400 men. DEMONSTRATION AT VERNON. Morgan came in sight of Vernon in the afternoon. "A strong force was posted there," General Duke states, "which Morgan did not care to attack," but desiring to get past without betraying his purpose, he sent in a flag of truce and demanded a surrender. At the same he threw out skirmishers along the roads and apparently- prepared for an attack, and, under cover of these demonstrations, moved off his main column towards Dupont. Colonel Williams met the summons to surrender with the reply that he " was abund- antly able to hold the place, and if General Morgan got it, he must take it by hard fighting." it is possible that, notwithstanding the movement of his main column towards Dupont and the feint by which he attempted to cover it, Morgan expected a surrender, for in a short time he sent a second flag with a similar summons, and he must have felt a little unwilling to give it up, without any effort to secure them, the important objects for which he had come so much further north than he needed to if he only wanted, as Colonel Duke intimates, to cross the Madison railroad and keep on his way. If that had been his only purpose he could have gone directly to Dupont and thus have saved some ten or twelve miles. Colonel Williams refused to receive the second message, but detained the bearer of the flag until the arrival of General Love, which occurred soon after. The General at once sent back, as his answer, a summons to Morgan himself to surrender. By this time our force had been increased to 1,000 men; and small and illy prepared as it was, General Love at once began his preparations for a fight. He sent a flag of truce to Morgan asking two hours to remove the women and children, and the reply came granting thirty minutes. The non-combatants were at once removed to a wood near by where they would be protected, the guns were placed in position, and the troops disposed so as to make the best defense possible. But no further demonstration was made, except a movement as if the DUPONT LAID UNDER CONTRIBUTION. 189 rebels aimed to get in between Vernon and North Vernon, which brought on a slight skirmish and ended " the siege." It is evident, notwithstanding General Duke's indifferent allu- sion to it, that the check at Vernon was something more than an impediment in a convenient road. Morgan was defeated in an important object; and the fast thickening dangers caused him to abandon his plans almost as soon as he had undertaken to put them into execution. While these operations were in progress, Major General Wallack was started with a brigade of troops just collected and organized at Indianapolis, and Major General Hughes was ordered with his command from Mitchell, and both proceeded by rail to Vernon with such promptitude that they would have attacked Morgan early the next morning, had he not in the meantime prudently re- sumed his ilight. ONWARD. General Love, having learned from Mr. Thomas Reiley, Re- corder of Jennings county, who had been taken prisoner, that the rebels were at Dupont about one o'clock in the night, sent all his mounted force, consisting of twenty men, under Captain Boyd, to reconnoitre. They picked up some twenty or thirty stragglers, with whom they returned in the morning, and confirmed the news as to Morgan's j)osition. He had halted and camped about midnight near Dupont, on the Madison railroad, some eight miles southeast of Vernon. Detachments, sent out for the purpose, destroyed a poriion of the track of the railroad, and burned two large and costly bridges, one on Big creek, a mile south of town, and the other over Graham's Fork. A water tank, twelve freight cars and a warehouse were burned; the telegraph wires were cut; F. F. May- field's pork house was plundered of 2000 hams, and his store of »1^1,700 worth of goods. General Duke says of this operation, that "it was a new feature in the practice of appropriation; every man had a ham slung to his saddle. The other stores in the town were robbed of small amounts; horses were taken in all directions, barns plundered and wheat fields destroyed. At four o'clock on the morning of Sunday, the 12th of July, the rebel advance moved out of Dupont, taking the road to Versailles, in Ripley county. Here was another change of direction to the northward. The object of it was probably to strike the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad at a point eastward from North Vernon, and accomplish there what was so signally defeated at Vernon. One 190 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. regiment, sent in advance to destroy bridges and capture horses, dashed into Vcr.saillcs abont half past one o'clock, captured Colonel Jamics H. Cravf.ns, with 300 militia and minute-men, and the Treasurer of Rii)ley county, with ^5,000 of public fnnd.<. The stores and dwellings were pillaged of course. There was now force enough on Morgan's track, and ready to be concentrated in his front, to have crushed him in almost a mo- ment if they could have been placed where they were needed. Bat there were serious obstacles in the way. First, there was the in- herent ditnculty of pursuing or encountering cavalry with infantry transported by railway. Infantry, it is true, can travel faster in such a case, but must travel on fixed lines, and if cavalry are not accommodating enough to travel on the same lines, the infantry must seek other means of moving. We needed cavalry to supple- ment the service of our railways, and without it Morgan could not be "cornered," attacked or held at bay so as to give the infantry time to reach him. Besides he did not want or intend to fight — only to "throve' dust" in the eyes of those who were trying to catch him. General Hobson's force was following as rapidly as possible, certainly, but it labored under the serious disadvantage of pursuing, with jaded and almost broken-down horses, a column which was constantly recruiting itself with fresh ones, and, of course, stripping the country, and leaving scarcely any for the pursuers. But another difficulty added greatly to the embarrassment of our authorities — the want of correct and consistent information. It was impossible for any merely human intelligence to divine the truth in the flood of conflicting and befogging reports that poured into the Capital. Morgan marched constantly, with strong detach- (nents thrown well out on his flanks, and thus secured the double advantage of covering a greater extent of horse producing territory to recruit from, and of bewildering the people along the line as to where he was really going, and to this, no doubt, much of the unre- liable and confusing information may be attributed. A few speci- mens of these reports are here given to show more clearly by what uncertain light our authorities were compelled to act. On July 10th, the day that Morgan was at Salem, there came re- ports to the Governor that our forces had retreated through Fred- ericksburg, Orange county, at daylight, pursued by Morgan's whole command, 6,000 strong; that 3,000 rebels had taken Paoli, and were advancing upon the Ohio & Mississippi Railroad at Mitchell; CONFLICTING INFORMATON, 191 that 3,000 rebels had encamped the night before, (the 9tb, while Morgan was on the march to Salem,) at Palmyra, and were mov- ing towards Vienna; that the rebels were north of Salem — and that Salem had been captured and burned. These were confusine- enough, but those on the next day were worse. On the lllh, in the morning, the news came that Morgan was at Vienna, and thought to be trying to get to the Ohio river, to cross, at Madison Flats ; at two o'clock it was reported that our gunboats were en- gaging the rebels near Madison ; and at half-past five, that Morgan was at Vernon, demanding i's surrender. On the 12th it was re- ported that Morgan was at Versailles at half-past one in the after- noon ; at three, that he had suddenly turned, and, with his whole force, was marching on Indiananapolis; shortly after, that he was skirmishing at Sunman's Station, on the Indianapolis and Cincin- nati Railroad ; at eleven o'clock at night, that he w^as marching on Aurora and Lawrenceburg, and endeavoring to cross the Ohio at one of those places. A dispatch from Mitchell thickened the con- fusion by reporting that General Buckner had crossed the Ohio at Brandenburg with 16,000 men, had burned Palmyra, and was ad- vancing toward Indianapolis. On the 13ih, the day that Morgan crossed into Ohio, it was reported, first, that he was fighting at Mitchell; then, that he was fighting at Sunman's; again, that he had captured Dillsboro, Dearborn county, and was threat- ening Lawrenceburg; then, that he had escaped into Ohio at Har- rison; and directly afterwards, that he had turned back, and was marching upon Lawrenceburg! A third difficulty was one in some degree inseparable from the use of raw troops suddenly called into service. When ordered to move, they were not ready promptly, or their supplies of subsist- ence or ammunition were not brouglit up, and the railway trains w^ere behind time. Delays of many hours occurred, which could have been avoided if the managers had acted with sufficient energy, or if officers had not been so much confused by conflicting reports and orders. With these embarrassments surrounding them and clogging every movement, the authorities began, as soon as it was known that Morgan had reached Versailles, to prepare to protect the line of the Indianapolis and Cincinnati Railroad, and by concentrating troops upon it, intercept him if possible. General Hughes, with the troops from Mitchell, started for Osgood, on the Ohio and Missis- 192 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. sippi Railroad, as soon as it was known that Morgan was moving northward from Dupont. General Wallacb, with his own troops and Love's brigade, also moved up from Vernon, having previously pursued the enemy to Dupont, and then having to return to North Vernon to get transportation on the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad. Neither of these forces, however, arrived at Osgood until the rebels had passed. In the meantime, while at Vernon, General Wai-lace ordered the collection, by impressment, of all the horses in the neighborhood, to form a cavalry force for pursuit, and entrusted its execution and command to Colonel Lawkencb S. Shuler, of the One Hundred and Third Regiment Minute-men, who worked so vigorously that by four o'clock of the afternoon of the 11th he had mounted one hundred and forty-six men, and started rapidly on the track of the rebels. General Wallace also, while yet at Ver- non, antici|)ating (as did most of our citizens) that Morgan would endeavor to escape at or near Lawrencebnrg, requested the people of that vicinity, by telegraph, to collect wagons and meet him at a designated point near Osgood. Mougan was then but twenty-five miles ahead, and General Wallace was quite confident that a prompt compliance with his request would have enabled him to have made a forced march, and compelled a collision with the enemy. The transportation asked for, however, was not furnished, and the command moved on as rajndly as possible, reaching Sun- man's Station on the 14th, General Hughes being there also. The combined force was about fifty-five hundred strong — amply suffi- cient to have defeated the rebels, General Wallace says "in an open field fight"; but the delays of transportation, and the dis- tance to be marched, prevented them from arriving in time. Morgan left Versailles at four o'clock on the afternoon of Sun- day, the 12th. He destroyed two bridges, tore up the railroad track and captured the telegraph operator at Osgood, and, follow- ing along the line of the Ohio and Mississippi railroad through Pierceville to Milan, destroyed all the bridges as he went. The main body, according to General Duke, after marching far into the night, reached Sun man's Station, and halted to rest. Here were some 2,500 militia. Colonel James Gavin's One Hundred and Fourth Regiment of minute-men being among them. His pickets were encountered by the rebel advance about two miles from the railroad, and a slight skirmish ensued. The rebels turned off, not daring to attack our infantry, and not giving them an opportunity FEINT>S OP THE ENEMY. 193 to bring on an action. At five o'clock the next morning, the 13th, Morv^aN moved eastwardly from his bivouac a few miles from Sun- man'e, in the direction of the Ohio line, crossing the railroad at three stations — Harmon's, Van Weddon's, and Weisburo-. The bridges and track at all these j^laces were destroyed, and a water- tank at Van Weddon's burned. Passing rapidly on by HubbelFs corner, New Alsace, Dover and Logan, the rebel advance reached Harrison, Ohio, a little after twelve o'clock noon. At Sunniau's Station, Colonel Kltne G. Shryock, One Hun- dred and Fifrh Regiment of minute-men, finding that Morgan had crossed the railroad and disabled it, commenced the march with his regiment on foot to Lawrenceburg, the point to which he was originally destined. About a mile out he met Colonel Shuler's cavalry command, which hadjoined General Hobson's force on the evening of the 11th; and which was now in the advance. Shuler had followed so strenously, by five o'clock in the afternoon of the 12th he had come up with the rebel rear guard, and had been pressing close after them ever since. Learning that they were but four or five miles ahead, Colonel Shryock determined to follow Colonel SnuLER, so as to support him in case of an encounter. Colonel Shuler came in sight of the rear of the main rebel column at Harrison, Ohio, in the afternoon of the 13th, and, expecting to be able to make an attack, he ordered up Colonel Shryock's regi- ment, which came rapidly forward. The bridge over Whitewater, at FL■^rrison, had been burned, but, after exchanging a few shots across the river, a convenient ford for our cavalry was found, and it entered the town, only to find it pillaged and the enemy flying, as usual. Here Colonel Shuler rested for a few hours, and then continued the pursuit, going as far as Batavia, Ohio, where, as he says, finding the citizens able and ready to protect themselves, he halted and returned home. He speaks in his report very warmly of the enthusiastic welcome given to his command by the people of Ohio.* Colonel Shryock marched to Lawrenceburg, whether Colonel Gavin's regiment had preceded him. There can be that little doubt but Morgan's original intention was to "go through" Indiana and Ohio, and his historian intimates that all his attempts and maneuveres to cross the river while in this State, were mere feints. From the dangers that fast gathered on on his track after he left Vernon, it can hardly be doubted, had ■■■'Seo operations of Indiana Legion, Legislative Documeats, 1865. Vol. 1.— 14. 194 ADJUTANT GENERALS REPORT. an opportunity offered, he would gladly have escaped across the river long before he crossed the Ohio line. Ills men were liter- ally worn out for want of sleep and r(>st. The evening after he left Harrison, it was with the greatest difficulty his first brigade was prevented from going to pieces. " Strong men fell out of their saddlis, and at every halt the officers were compelled to move con- tinually about their respective commands and pull and haul the men who would drop asleep in the road — it was the only way to keep tliem awake." After leaving Sunman's Station, on the morn- ing of the 13th, in a period of thirty-five hours, he marched more than ninety miles, the greatest march, Duke says, he ever made. During his brief pilgrimage of five days through the State, he cer- tainly did not feel that he was "master of the situation," by a very great deal. THE PURSUIT INTO OHIO. As soon as Governor Morton was informed of the escape of Morgan into Ohio, he notified Governor Tod of that State, of the fact, and tendered him the services of 5,000 of our State troops; and steps were at once taken to forward as large a force as possible, in pursuance of this proffer. Our authorities hoped that if a vigor- ous and prompt movement was made, Morgan might be inter- cepted at or near Hamilton, Ohio. A brigade of three regiments of Minute-men, the One Hundred and Eighth, Colonel William C. Wii,son; the One Hundred and Sixth, Colonel Isaac P. Gray, and the One Hundred and Ninth, Colonel John R. MAnA\, with the Twelfth Michigan Battery of Light Artillery, was ordered to rendezvous at the Indiana Central Railway in Indianapolis, the first two regiments at 3 o'clock P. M., the third at 5 o'clock P. M. of the 13th of July, to take the cars for Hamilton. The regiments reported promptly. The Michigan Battery, while hastening to the rendezvous about dusk, in obedience to the order, met with a fear- ful accident. The caisson of one of the guns exploded in the middle of the street in the northwestern part of the city, hurling two of the men who were riding upon it many yards through the air, mutilating them frightfully, and of course killing them instantly, and wounding another, and a lad who was passing by at the mo- ment, so badly that tiiey both died a few hours afterward. The remainder of the battery joined the brigade at the railway. Here a I most unfortunate and inexcusable detention occurred. The regi- ments were compelled to wait from five to seven hours before theyf could get away, delaying their arrrival at Hamilton until daybreak, I THE LAWRENCEBURG DISASTER. 195 and as late as 10 o'clock on the morning of the 14th. The brigade was at first placed under comnnand of Brigadier General Carring- TON, with orders to use all dispatch and move with as many troops as could then be transported at 3 o'clock. Learning, at 9 o'clock at night, that he had not started, and that there was no sufficient excuse for his delay, General Willcox removed him from the command and gave it to General Hascall, who at once hastened the movement of the two regiments yet remaining, and reached Hamilton, as he states, "just in time to be too late." The detention was quite mortifying to every one concerned in the expedition, and the opinion prevailed that if the original orders had been carried out, Morgan would have been overtaken.* In the afternoon of the 14th, General Hascall ordered the whole brigade to Cincin- nati; whence, in a day or two, all returned to Indianapolis and were discharged. THE ACCIDENT AT LAWRENCEBURG. The resistance and pursuit of the rebels was as nearly bloodless as any hostile movement on so large a scale could be, but it was destined to cause more bloodshed after its departure than it did by its presence. On the evening of the 13th, Colonel Gavin, in com- mand at Lawrenceburg, having been informed that Morgan had taken Harrison and had turned back and was advancing upon Law- renceburg, took prompt measures to meet him. He sent out his own regiment, the One Hundred and Fourth, half a mile beyond Ilard- inton on the turnpike where a strong barricade w^as constructed, and a line of battle was formed along the tow path of the canal so as to use the canal bank as a defense. Colonel Shryock's regi- ment, the One Hundred and Fifth, was ordered to take positioji half a mile in the rear. About nine o'clock at night, while march- ing to the assigned position through a very short curve in the road at Hardinton, the rear of the column seeing the head indistinctly in the darkness, and unaware of the curve which threw the men in front on a line parallel with those in the rear, mistook it for a por- tion of the expected enemy's force, and a shot accidentally fired at the moment made the impression so strong that they fired into the advance. The advance, of course, mistook the fire for that of the enemy and returned it Colonel Shrvock instantly rode down the line to stop the firing, telling the men that they were killing their comrades, but though promptly obeyed he was too late to prevent *Appen(lix, General Ilascall's Report, Doc. No. 80. 196 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. a serious catastrophe. Five men were killed, one mortally and eighteen more or less severely wounded. The following is a list of the casualties caused by this sad mistake: Killed. — Sergeant John Gordon, privates Oliver P. Jones, William Faulkner, Ferdinand Hefner and John Porter. Wounded. — Captains A. K. Branham and William Nicholson ; Lieutenants William E. Hart (mortally,) Samuel Bewsey and Joel Newman; Sergeants Richard M. Baker, John Pyle and James E. Bates ; Privates Samuel E. Duncan, Edriund Bloom- field, Martin Hoover, William Flint, David S. Gooding, W. G. Johnson, D. W. Parrish, R. T. Raines, Jabi.z Wilson, Allen R. Bates and Hart, RETURN OF THE TROOPS. The regiments at all points were discharged and sent home as soon as possible, and measures were taken whereby they were paid for their services by the State in due time at the same rates allowed the soldiers of the United States. On the loth Governor Morton issued an address " To the officers and soldiers of the Legion and Minute-men of Indiana,"* in which, after reciting the occurrences of the preceding week — the invasion by the rebels, the prompt gathering of sixty-five thousand men to resist them, and the move- ment to the field within three days of thirty thousand men fully armed and organized — he spoke with just pride of so wonderful an exhibition of the spirit of the people, and of its effect in turning the raid into a desperate flight, and tendered to the troops on behalf of the State his hearty thanks for their alacrity and self-sacrifice in responding to his call. He took occasion also to urge the import- ance of a thorough organization of the Legion, and his anxiety to see the temporary organizations of the Minute-men converted into permanent ones under the law. END OF THE RAID. Though not within the prescribed limits of this Report, it may still not be out of place to follow as briefly as possible Morgan's" daring movement to its catastrophe. Alter leaving Harrison he maneuvered to confuse General Burn- side at Cincinnati as to the point at which he would cross the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton Railroad, thinking that once past that line no concentration of troops strong enough to lake him *AppLndix Doc. No. 102. LOSSES AND IMPRESSMENTS OP PROPERTY 197 could be made in his front. Detachments were sent out in direc- tion of Hamilton, to create the impression that he would advance upon that place, while the main body started directly toward Cin- cinnati, hoping thus to send the forces that might get in his way, part up to Hamilton and part back to Cincinnati. At this time he had less than 2,000 effective men. His plans for eluding our forces and getting past Cincinnati succeeded, but on the 19th he was overtaken near Buffington Island, in the Ohio river, where he was, much against his will, forced into a sharp fight, and which ended in the capture of 700 of his men. A portion of his Ninth Tennes see regiment managed to cross the river in a small flat boat before the fight began, and escaped. With near 1,200 men, he resumed his flight up the river, pursued by Hobson. About twenty miles above Buffington Island 300 more made their escape by crossing the river, and with them some of the best officers of the command. The weakened and worn-down force was here re-organized, each of the two brigades having only about 400 men. During the night, near Blennerhassett's Island, where he had previously tried to cross, he was almost surrounded, but escaped by leading his men in single file along the side of a steep hill to another road. He escaped cap- ture again at the Muskingum river by passing along a path upon which it was barely possible for a horse to travel, guided, it is pre- sumed, by some of the sympathizing citizens of the vicinity. Bu^ he was still pressed upon all sides, more and more closely. His troops were killed or captured in squads at every point. On the 26th, near Salineville, Columbiana county, Ohio, within nine miles of the western boundary of Pennsylvania, his force being reduced to 250 men, and seeing himself hemmed in upon all sides, he sur- rendered to a militia Captain, dictating almost as he pleased his own terms. This ingenious arrangement, however, was unceremo- niously set aside by General Shackleforp, of General Hobson's command, who soon came up and took charge of Morgan and his remnant of men as prisoners of war. Thus ended the Morgan raid. Only four organized companies cscajied. Besides these some 300 stragglers got safely away, but as General Duke mournfully states, "The raid destroyed Morgan's division, and left but a remnant of the Morgan cavalry." LOSSES AND IMPRESSMENTS OF PROPERTY. Immediately after the escape of Morgan, measures were taken by the State and United States' authorities to ascertain the extent 198 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. and amount of losses and damages caused by the rebels, and the amount of property taken or impressed by the Union forces. Claim- ants were notified by the Governor that every possible elfort would be promptly made to secure a speedy adjustment and payment of all just demands, and they were advised not to sacrifice their claims. General Carrington, then acting under the Governor's orders, was dispatched to and along the route taken by Morgan, with instruc- tions to adopt such immediate means as would relieve the farmers, then in the midst of their busiest season, from the embarrassments occasioned by the loss of their stock, and to obtain all the informa- tion he could as^o losses, of all kinds, with the view of perpetua- ting the testimony necessary to establish all valid claims. It was arranged, for the purpose of affording the farming community tem- porary relief, in cases where their horses had been lost in the raid or impressed by the Federal forces, that they might retain such ani- mals as were abandoned by either force for present use, and to ena- ble them to gather their harvests, upon giving sufficient security for their good keeping and proper return on proof of ownership, or other direction of the duly constituted authorities. And it was further provided that all horses found by citizens who had lost none, should be turned over to the proper Provost Marshals, subject to such disposition as might thereafter be determined upon. The or- ders issued in pursuance of this j)lan,* and the energetic efforts made by General Carrington and the officers of the United States Quartermaster's Department, (Captain — now General Ekin — and his efficient assistants,) resulted in great relief, for the time being, to many farmers who otherwise would have been unable, from the lack of teams, to carry on their work and secure their crops. The claims were duly reported to the proper Departments at Washing- ton for adjustment; but after the authorities had accomplished all this, it was found that there were many insuperable difficulties in the way of effecting fair and satisfactory settlements. The regula- tions of the U. S. Quartermaster's Department required that all ani- mals abandoned by either Federals or rebels, whether branded •' U. S." or " C. S.", or impressed into the United States service, should be collected together, and, if serviceable, turned into the Quartermaster's Department for issue; or, if not serviceable, they should be inspected, condemned, and sold for the benefit of the United States, in accordance with the Army Regulations. No ^Appendix, Document No. 103. Morton's memorial. 199 animals were allowed to be returned to claimants even on proof of ownership; nor could payment be made, in the opinion of the Gov- ernment officials, for any property impressed by the officers of the Federal troops, unless it was clearly shown that the officers who impressed the same were regularly mustered into the United States service. All claims for damages by our own troops, and for horses and other property stolen, destroyed or damaged by the rebels, were entirely ignored. There were many cases wMiere farmers lost horses, by the rebels, which were subsequently abandoned or re-captured, and, upon being turned over to the United State authorities, were put up and sold and their former possessors, the real oiuners, to supply themselves with teams, were compelled to purchase and pay for their own property. These hardships were augmented by the fact that large numbers of the horses not stolen by Morgan on his route were subsequently impressed by officers of the Legion and Minute-men, whose vouchers were repudiated at Washington, Thus it will be seen that between the thefts of the enemy and the impressments of our own forces, those who suffered stood but a poor chance of being compensated for their losses from any source. Governor Morton, very promptly conferred with the authorities at Washington on the subject, but it was assumed by them that there was no law that would authorize any liberal plan of adjust ment than the one above indicated and already adopted.* So far as the State was concerned relief from her Treasury, in any shape, was ira|X)ssible, unless the Legislature, at some future time should prescribe the mode and provide the means to that end. But the Governor, assuming that "the true theory of our government is that it shall protect the people, in their persons and property, against invasion and loss from the public enemy, or injury by domestic in- surrection," did not cease his endeavors to procure a settlement through the departments of the general Government. After much correspondence, he finally, on the 19th of December, 1863, forwarded, through the Quarter Master General, a memorial setting forth the facts in regard to the;- losses, in consequence of the raid, and com- batting the specious arguments and technical objections, that had been made against the settlement and payment of the claims. This memorialf was laid before Congress, and a bill was intro- *See Appendix, Doc. No. 106, Governor Mobton's letter to Captiiiu EiiiN, aud aeneral Meius ietter to the same, Doc. No. 107. |See Appeudix, Doc.

Nothing further was done, or could be done, unlil the meeting of the Legislature in January, 1865, when the Governor, in his message, laid the subject before that body, with a recommendation that a commission be appointed to investigate the claims, and that they be paid out of the Treasury, under such regulations as would prevent imposition upon the State.* Two bills were introduced, but owing to a want of concert among the friends of the measure, neither of them became a law. In November, 1865, the Legislature convened in extra session, and the Governor again invoked attention to the claims, and repeated his former recommendations on that subject.f A bill was brought forward, providing for the appointment of Commissioners, to adjust the losses, but the two Houses failing to agree upon some proposed amendments, it shared the fate of the other bills. Thus the matter rested until the next regular session of the Legislature, January, 1867, when the subject was again brought to their attention by a communication from the Adjutant General.^; The result, this time, was favorable ; concurrent resolutions were passed on the llth of March,§ providing for the appointment, by the Governor, of three Commissioners, whose duties are set forth as follows: " To hear, determine and adjust all claims for losses which have heretofore accrued by reason of the injury, destruction, loss, or impressment of property, had or held by any inhabitants of this State, by rebel forces under the command of John Morgan in the year 1863, or caused by the State or National forces e u gaged in repelling said invasion; or caused by organizing and equipping troops to repel the threatened invasion of the State by the rebel forces under the command of Adam Johnson, in the year 1864." An Attorney to protect the interests of the State, and a Clerk to keep a record of the proceedings of the Commissioners were also provided for. The Commissioners were required to visit the various counties affected by the raids above mentioned, "and examine all claims duly presented and, ascertain the amonut ^Appendix Doc. No. 110. fSee Appendix, Doc. No. 110. tAppendix, Doc. No. HI. ^Appendix, Doc. No. 112. morgan's raid commission. 201 of loss thereon, and whether the claim be meritorious, as upon evidence before them theymay deem just and equitable." The claims were required to be separated into the following classes: 1. Claims for property taken, or destroyed, or injured by the Union forces, under command of United States' officers. 2. Claims for property taken, or destroyed, or injured by the Union forces, under State officers. 3. Property taken, or destroyed, or injured by the rebels. 4. Property taken, or destroyed, or injured, where claimant is unable to identify by which (force) the loss occurred. The resolutions required the Commissioners to make report of their findings, with a comprehensive abstract of the testimony taken to the Governor, on or before the 17th of January, 1868, who will report the same to the next General Assembly, with his recom- mendations thereon. In pursuance of said resolutions. Governor Baker made the fol- lowing appointments : Hon. Smith Vawter, of Jennings; Hon. John I. Morrison, of Marion; and Colonel John McCrf.a, of Monroe, Commissioners; and Colonel Charles W. Chapman, of Kosciusko, Attorney. Colonel Chapman declining, General Thos. M. Browne, of Randolph, was appointed in his stead. William R. Browning, Esq., of Bloomington, was selected by the Commis- sioners as their Clerk. The Commissioners duly entered upon a vigorous discharge of their important duties, and, up to the time of the present writing, (October 15th, 1867,) have made good progress. From their high standing and character as citizens and excellent qualifications as business men, it may confidently be expected that their labors will be faithfully and ably performed, and that while full justice will be rendered to claimants, the interests of the State will be jealously guarded and protected. The labors of the Commission were faithfully performed ; they visited all the counties interested, and, by patient investigation and research, become fully informed as to the merits of the many claims presented. Since the foregoing was written, the report of the transactions of the Commission has been filed with the Governor, from which the following facts have been extracted : 202 ADJUTANT general's REPORT.

MORGAN'S LAST KENTUCKY RAID— JUNE, 1864. INDIANA AGAIN TO THE RESCUE. After the rebel General John H. Morgan escaped from the Ohio Penitentiary, where he had been confined after his Indiana and Ohio raid of 1863, he was placed in command of the Department of South-western Virginia. His recollection of former hearty wel- comes by a large and sympathizing portion of the people of the " Blue Grass Region " in Kentucky, and of the luxuries and above all the "spoils*' always abundant in that famed locality, and which had so long been denied his followers, made him extremely anxious to visit it again in his "official capacity." He had, therefore, not been long in command before he projected another raid, planned upon an extensive scale, for the purpose, as he represented to the rebel War Department, of preventing the Federals from tlirowing a formidable force into South-western Virginia and destroying the salt works and lead mines which were of vast importance to the Confederate cause. It was afterwards ascertained that it was a part of Morgan's plan to capture Munfordsville and destroy the morgan's last raid. 203 great railroad bridge over Green river at that point, a bridge which could not be rebuilt in less than three months, and the destruction of which would have been a great disaster to General Sherman's army. THE INVASION-PREPARATIONS TO MEET IT. The raid was accordingly commenced in the latter part of May, 1864, by Morgan's division, consisling, according to Duke's his^tory, of three brigades twenty-four hundred strong, all well mounted except the third brigade of eight hundred men, who, from the success which had previously attended their leader's adventures in the acquisition of "stock," confidently expected to bestride the best horsh-flesh in Kentucky within a short time. General Burbridge, commanding the Union forces in Central Ken- tucky, was then at Lexington, and on the 23d of May telegraphed Governor Mokton as follows : " Dispatches from Generals Halleck and Crook give the best possible assurance that John Morgan, with a force of about four thousand mounted men, is now entering Kentucky by way of Pound Gap with the intention of marching by way of Richmond, Lexington and Bardstown, and destroying the bridges on the Louisville and Nashville railroad where he can, and then joining Johnson by forced marches through Tennessee. I start to-day with all my available force to meet him. The railroad and Louisville are very defenceless. Can not you send, or have on the border ready to move at any moment to Louisville and on the road, four regiments? Lieutenant Colonel Fairleigh is in com- mand at Louisville and will afford you any information possible." The Governor's response, on the same day, was characteristic: " One regiment leaves to-night, one to-morrow and two others on Wednesday. If necessary I will call out the militia. Please give me any new information of the invasion, as I do not wish to call out the militia on mistake." The season was a busy one with our farmers; the Legion on the border had performed a great deal of guard duty and other service, and theGovernor was, therefore, in- disposed to make any additional demand upon them until some- thing more certain could be known as to the strength and move- ments of the enemy. The next advices received were from the commanding officer at Louisville, under date of June 8th, as follows : " We are in press- ing need of troops. This city and the Louisville and Nashville Railroad are almost defenseless. We hope for four or five thousand 204: ADJUTANT GENKRAL's REPORT. moil from you for a lew days. How many can you give us, and how soon will they be here?" Tiie next morning the Governor Ibrwardi'd the One Hundred and Thirty-Ninth regiment, Indiana volunteers, to Louisville, and it was placed at Muldraugh's Hill to guard the railroad. The same day General Hobson, commanding the District of Kentucky, telegraphed from Covington to this effect: " I am directed by General Burbridgk to call on you for any troops you can send me to Louisville or Frankfort. General Burbridge has nearly all the troops with him near Pound Gap, and the rebels have come into Kentucky in force. They have taken Mt. Sterling and burned two bridges on the Lexington and Covington Railroad." In a second dispatch, dated also at Covington on the same day, (the 9th,) General Hobson, in reply to an enquiry from Governor Morton as to the whereabouts of the enemy, said: ''The rebels have taken Mt. Sterling, Paris and Cynthianajand are now reported to be 800 strong between here and Paris on the railroad. They have taken Maysville. Nearly all the troops in this part of Ken- tucky are with General Burbridge in the mountains." There were no organized volunteer troops in the State at this time subject to the control of the Governor. In view of the danger that appeared to threaten Louisville and other towns on the border, and the possibility that either Morgan, or guerrilla bands embold- ened by his presence in Kentucky, might attempt another foray upon Indiana, the Governor called out the Legion in the counties of Harrison, Floyd, Clark, Jefferson, Jennings and Switzerland. The Jennings regiment was sent to Madison, and with the Jeffer- son Legion held in readiness to proceed instantly to Louisville by steamers, should the Governor so order. The Harrison and Fioyd regiments and the New Albany batteries went into camp at New Albany, and the Clark regiment at Jeffersonville, ready to proceed to Louisville at a moment's notice. The south side of the Ohio river, in the counties of Oldham, Trimble, Carroll and Gallatin, in Kentucky, was filled with roving squads of rebels, recruiting oflicers and guerrillas. Our home forces were, therefore, compelled to guard all exposed points, which added greatly to the other heavy demands made upon them by their private affairs, and the with- drawal of so many men, awaiting orders to be sent into Kentucky if required. On the 10th the Forty-Third regiment, Indiana Volunteers, ar- rived at Indianapolis from Arkansas on veteran furlough. This MORGAN ON THE WAR PATH. 205 gallant body of troops had been at the front for nearly three years, and had re-enlisted for three years longer. The demands of the service would not admit of their being furloiighed home to enjoy their thirty days' of rest until now. Notwithstanding all this, as soon as they reached the Capital, and were informed of the situa- tion of affairs in Kentucky, they volunteered to a man, and placed themselves under the orders of the Governor for immediate servic». They were sent to Louisville the following morning, whence they were sent to Frankfort to the relief of Governor Bramlette and a small force who were besieged at that place. Brigadier General Carrington was also ordered by the Gover- nor to Louisville to observe the situation, and to aid in disposing of the Legion regiments along the Nashville railroad for its protec- tion, should their services be required. Adjutant General Noble was sent to New Albany to see that the Legion was in proper con- dition, and to get the two batteries in shape for moving in case of need. Commissary General Stone was dispatched to New Al- bany, and then to Madison, to provide quarters and subsistence for the assembled troops. Colonel Frybarger fitted out a battery at Indianapolis, and, with a company of well drilled artillerists, re- ported at Louisville on the night of the 11th. At Louisville, nothing scarcely was done by the authorities for defense of the place, until the morning of the 11th, when business was suspended and the citizens organized into military companies. Generals Carrington and Noble, and Colonel Frybarger, by their presence and advice, contributed largely in placing the city in a condition to resist an attack. MORGAN ON THE WAR PATH, While these preparations were being made, Morgan was hurry- ing forward and doing immense mischief. A brief retrospect of his operations is necessary to a just comprehension of the magni- tude of his raid, and of the energetic efforts that were made to de- feat it. The rebel column reached Mount Sterling on the mornins: of the 8th of June, and attacked the garrison stationed there, and soon forced its surrender, with a large quantity of stores, wagons and horses. Leaving two brigades to appropriate the captured horses, and such other property as could be made available, and to destroy the remainder, Morgan, with his best brigade, immediately pressed 206 X ADJUTANT general's BEPORT. forward for Lexington. General Burbridge was at this, time hastening to Mount Sterling, Ihoiigh not expected by the rebels for two or three days. By a forced march of ninety miles in thirty hours, he reached Mount Sterling at daybreak on the 9th, surprised and completely routed the rebels, killing large numbers, capturing many pri>oners, and scattering a still larger number to the moun- tains. The brigade of dismounted men was entirely broken up. This was a great disaster to Morgan's plans, and seriously inter- fered with the success of his expedition. On the lOth he entered Lexington, after a slight skirmish, and proceeded to his favorite work of plunder and destruction. The Government depot and stables were burned, and a sutBcient number of horses captured to mount all his dismounted men who afterwards straggled in. A detachment had previously been sent to destroy the bridges of the Frankfort and Lexington Railroad, "to prevent," as General Duke says, "troops arriving from Indiana for the defense of Lexington and Central Kentucky." At the same time another detachment was sent to operate in like manner upon the Kentucky Central Railroad, "to prevent the importation of troops from Cincinnati;" and a force of one hundred men was dispatched to capture Mays- ville and draw off attention to that quarter. Morgan instructed the officers commanding these detachments "to accomplish their work thoroughly, but promptly; to create as much excitement as possible; occasion the concentration of (opposing) forces ahready in the State at points widely apart; to magnify his strength and circulate reports which would bewilder and ballllc any attempt to calculate his movements."* They were to rejoin him in three or four days. After plundering Lexington, and destroying all the Government property he could find and did not use, Morgan moved to Georgetown, where he had scores of fraternizing friends — sending one company to demonstrate against Frankfort, where they caused much alarm, and confined to the fortifications around the town a considerable force, including Governor Bramlette and his statT, for several days. Leaving Georgetown, Morgan proceeded to Cynthiana, arriving on the morning of the 11th. Here his success was complete. He captured the garrison, four hundred strong, after sharp resistance, plundered freely, burned a portion of the town, and destroyed large quantities of stores. * Duko'e History of Morgan's CaTRlry. ADAM Johnson's tbkbatbned raid. 207 While the nirmy was thus occupied, General Hobson arrived with .-oiTie twelve hundred men, and at once engaged a brigade of the enemy, of about ihe huiiie strength, which was po.-sted on one of \\w approaches to the village. Word was quickly sent to Mor- gan for reinforeemente, and he soon succeeded iti gaining Hobson's rear with the balance t)f his command. Being thus surrounded by a Mup'-rior force, after a short struggle, IIobson was forced to sur- reutler. Thus far, barring tin; Mt. Sterling disaster, everything had gone on swimmingly with the invadirs. But General Blhbriugk had bj'tn steadily purbuing, and Mokoan, linding himself likely to be liotly pressed, concentrated his force as well as he was able by call- ing in his detachments, and on the morning of the 12lh prepared to withdraw. Bukuriduk came up, however, unexpectedly, and njaOfM-d, "if sutlieirnt fonM! could be raised" and placed at his dis- p«>j«al, " to cross the river and attack the camps r«-ported, at and near Morganfieid, Kentucky." He i-xpresiwd the hope that by such a movement, he might \h' able " to surprise and capture a lar^e nun)l)cr of the force there engaged in conscription and plunder." The plan suggested met th«? cordial approval of (ieneral HitwiKs, and was enthu!>i(u«iicalty enjjorsed by the olliccr:* and men of the I/<*gion, who n's|ionded with cheerful alacrity to the call for volun- treis. With chanicteristic energy, both the general olliccrs, above named, immediately applied themselves to the work of raising and organizing a foree, sudiciently formidable for the projwsed expedi- tion, and so eircctive wer«! their ellort-*, that on th«- morning o( the I7th, three days after the inception of the movement — seven hun- ral Hovkv, with the 'J'hiriy- Second Indiana Volunteers, a part of the Legion infantry, all the cavalry and two pieces of artillery, started on a rapid march to Geiger's Lake, nine miles west of Morganfield, to attack a consider- able body of rebels, who were reported to be camped in that vicinity. A body of cavalry was sent in the direction of Shawneetown, Illi- nois, with orders to form a junction with and support the infantry. The camp was found deserted, the rebels having learned on the previous night of the advance of the Union forces, and consulted their safety by a hasty flight. The cavalry skirmished slightly with straggling squads of the rebels, taking a few prisoners, but failed to find the enemy in anything like formidable numbers. The troops, having accomplished all that could be done, in that direction, re- turned to Morganfiekl, where they were met by General Huoniis, who had remained at Evansville, for some time longer than he had ' intended, being detained by the details of business, imperatively necessary to the success of the expedition.

For two generations before the outbreak of the rebellion, the re- lations between Indiana and Kentucky had been peculiarly close and intimate. Pn^bably no other two States were bound together by so mpny ties. Kentuckians under the lead of Gkohge Rookrs Clark had con REJECTION OF THE GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE. 241 any mode, that any other officer or citizen could communicate with it. The requirement of the Constitution, that the Governor should "give information touching the condition of the State to the General Assembiy," no more compelled the personal attendance of the Governor, or tiie presence of both branches at the same time, at the delivery of the message, than the provision that the people may apply " to the General Assembly for redress of griev- ances" requires that every petition shall be presented and read by its authors in joint convention. Yet controlled by the disloyal spirit which had grown so strong and defiant, and anxious to signalize its hostility to the Governor and its contempt for the policy he had |)uvsued with distinguished success, the House of Representatives determined, by a vote of 61 to 32, that the mes- sage should " not be received," and should be " returned to await the further action of the General Assembly." The pretexts (for there were no reasons) for this action were, that the absence of a (juorum from the Senate, made the attendance of that body and a joint convention impossible; and that the Constitution required the message to be delivered to the " General Assembly," and there was no General Assembly in session at the time; in other words, unless both houses are in session at the same time, there is no General Assembly, and neither body can act. This construction was simply nonsensical, because the Governor can and does send special mes- sages to either house, or to both houses, frequently during a session, and no thought is entertained of a joint convention to receive them. There is no law or reason demanding a joint convention, or simultaneous session of both houses, to receive a message at the beginning of a session, more than to receive one at the middle or end of it. The Constitution does not require both houses to be in session at the same time, to constitute the General Assembly, or to make its branches capable of action. If it did, the General As- sembly would die, or its branches become powerless, with every adjournment of either branch that did not exactly correspond with the adjournment of the other. So unwarranted a rejection of a document, so important as a Governor's Message, and in this case of such peculiar importance, is sufficient to show the spirit that animated the opponents of the war. Committees were subse- quently appointed by both Houses, to learn when the Governor would deliver the message, in the usual way. He refused to stul- tify himself by admitting, by a personal delivery in joint conven- Vol. 1.— 17. 242 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. tion, that the first was illegal. He notified the House Committee that he had done his duty, and should do nothing further in the luatter. As there was no (luornm in the Senate, on the first delivery, he sent a second copy to that body, by the Committee, on the 21st of January. But it was never read in either house. The House paid no attention to it, except to treat its author with as much contumely as the rules of deliberative bodies would allow. On the ]4th of January, a resolution was introduced into the House, declaring that Governor Morton '-had neglected to deliver his annual Message to the General Asj-embly " — a deliberate false- hood — and, " therefore, that the House adopt the exalted and patriotic sentiments contained in the message, late'ly delivered to the Legislature of New York, by his excellency Horatio Sey- mour." Against this scandalous proceeding, a number of mem- bers, belonging to the majority, not entirely corrupted or controlled by the disloyal element, joined with the friends of the Governor, and defeated it. But the next day a joint resolution was adopted in the House, by a vote of 52 to 35, tendering to Gov- ernor Skymour the thanks of the General Assembly of Indiana for his message, and this insult to Governor Mokto\, for i* was no less and intended to be nothing else, wasconcuiTcd in by the Senate. In eflfect the opposition to the war, having rejected Governor Mor- ton's message, recognized that of another man in its stead, but in a less offensive manner than that proposed by the resolution of the day before. The Governor had distinguished himself by his energy and success in supporting the war, and the sympathizcps with the rebellion saw no more satisfactory way to express their hostility to the war, than to contemn its most ardent and efficient advocate. Arrests of Rebel Sympathizers. — The disloyal spirit which on the second day of the session kicked the Governor's message out of the House, showed itself on the first day in the Senate by refusing to accept a resolution declaring that "the suppression of the rebellion, and the restoration and preservation of the Union of all the States, is the great and paramount object of loyal citizens, and that the members of this Legislature will vote for no man for office who is not in favor of a vigorous prosecution of the war, and is not unalterably opposed to the severance of any State or States from the Union." The vote against this simple declaration of loyalty was 27 to 22. In the House on the same day a similar declaration was refused and buried hopelessly by being referred to the Com- INVESTIGATION OF ARBITRARY ARRESTS. 248 rnittee on Federal Relations, by a vote of 58 to 38. Yet immedi- ately afterwards a rei^olution, laying the basis for an attack upon the Government for arresting traitors and spies, was adopted. On the day following, a preamble and resolution were introduced de- claring that "many citizens of this State had been arrested by the authority of the General Government, and confined in military prisons and camps without public charges being preferred against them, and without any opportunity being allowed them to learn or disprove the charges made or alleged against them, and refused a trial, there being no obstruction to the constitutional authority of the Government in this State," and that "the General Assembly denounce all such arrests as acts of tyranny, as flagrant violations of the rights of the people, and demand that such arrests shall hereafter cease." The arrests in all cases were of men who had either been detected in treasonable correspondence with the rebels, or whose sympathy with the rebellion and defiance of the Govern- ment were notorious. Yet these denunciations of efforts which were as purely for self-preservation, and as palpably forced upon the Government, as any act ever was, were adopted, under the previous question, by a vote of 58 to 40. Not content with two exhibitions of sympathy with spies and traitors on two successive day?, the adoption of this resolution was immediately followed by the introduction of a series, referring to the same matter, and made still more false and offensive. It stated that certain rights were guaranteed by the Constitution ; that " we have witnessed within the past twenty months the violation of all these provisions, by means alike arbitrary, violent, insulting and degrading to a degree unknown to any government on earth, except those avowedly and notoriously wicked, cruel and despotic ; " that " the representatives of the people in their legislative capacity deem it their first duty to ascertain the facts connected with the criminal usurpations and wrongs which have been practiced by political arrests, in order to give those who have unlawfully made them, or caused them to be made, the prominence to a position of lasting infamy their conduct merits," and concluded with the appointment of a committee of seven to examine into the alleged arrests, and to report a bill "ade- quate to protect the people " from them. This was adopted by a vote of 60 to 26, The committee thus appointed spent a large amount of money, examined such witnesses as suited their purpose to create hostility to the Government and to the war, and made a 244 ADJUTANT GENERAL "S REPORT. report, of which five thousand copies were published, which, for the credit of their intelligence and self-respect, the signers, who did not assist in writing it, should labor assiduously to destroy, Two or three specimens of its style will suffice to show its character. On page 11, — " The United States Marshal, when appealed to, folds himself more warmly in the floioing cloak of his oivn luxury, and with a view to shift the responsibility, he wags his head ominously, and points these outraged citizens to the modern Caligula and his willing satraps, who now inhabit the ancient metropolis of republican libertyJ" The officers making arrests are denounced (page 8) as "ambitious adventurers, strutting their brief hour on the stage, without identity and without responsibility." The efforts of Con- gress against the rebellion are thus described (page 21): " When the nation was bleeding at every pore, when one million of our brothers were engaged in mortal strife, when hoof of fire and sword of flame were scourging the land and making our rivers run red and thick with blood, these remorseless plunderers and robbers were en- gaged in schemes o^ self-aggrandizement, and in devising measures to increase our distractions in the States not in rebellion." Rhetoric like this is worthy of the cause of disloyalty in which it was em- ployed. On the same day that the two denunciations of the arrests of mischievous rebel-helpers were adopted, a resolution was offered in the Senate, declaring that "loyal men do not endorse manifestly despotic acts of the Government, but hold it to be the duty of every citizen of the United States to support the constituted authorities, and in this period of rebellion we will cheerfully subinit to any acts of the General and Slate Governments, the object of ivhich is the maintenance of the integrity of the Union, and the supremacy of the law, though the act should work detriment to the individual, and that as citizens we should be as ready to perform our didy to our country, as we are to assert our rights and privileges." This was sent away to die in the Committee on Federal Relations. The de-: nunciatory resolutions were adopted at once. On Friday, the 16th, a resolution was offered in the House set- ting forth the declaration of Jkffersox Davis that "the West was preparing to secede from the East;" and stating that the Grand Jury of the United States Court* had discovered "the existence of a secret political organization held together by horrible and wicked •See Appendix, Doc. No. 90. PEACE PROPOSITIONS. 245 oaths, and having for its purpose the assistance and encouragement of the Southern Confederacy, and the formation of a North-western Confederacy with its ultimate annexation to the Southern Con- federacy;" and appointing a Committee of live to investigate the matter, and to report what measures should be taken "to pro- tect the Government from the unlawful acts of these treasonable associations." The same House had a few days before voted to investigate and provide against the repetition of the arrests of rebel sympathizers and open enemies of the Government, but it refused lo bivestig-ate the existence and character of secret societies sworn to assist the rebels, by- a vote of 57 to 35. On the 20th, another resolution to investigate these societies was offered and after a de- bate, extending over two days, was killed by a vote of 53 to 36. This was final. The House never disturbed the treasonable socie- ties by a word. On the 10th of February, a joint resolution was introduced in the House "protesting against the passage of any bill by Congress indemnifying the President or those acting under him from liability to answer for arbitrary arrests," and directing our Congressn)en to oppose such bills. This protest had, and could have, no possible effect in holding the President or his officers to liability for arrests in this State, but it could in two ways show the rebels the disposi- tion of their friends: First. As a public declaration that the Presi- dent should be made to pay damages to every rebel and sympa- thizer whom he should arrest. Second. JBy encouraging juries, com- posed of members of treasonable Orders, to give verdicts for such damages, so that it might be published to the world that, in Indi- ana, the President or his officers had been punished in damages for arresting notorious supporters and friends of the rebellion. The knowledge of the existence of such a spirit in the North, in strength enough to the control Legislatures of the several States was far more precious to the rebels than any mere military assistance could have been. Peace Propositions. — After rejecting the Governor's message, de- nouncing the arrests of rebel sympathizers and spies, and preparing the way for the State laws to obstruct such action in future, and thus bring the State into collision with the General Government, the disloyal element proceeded to exhibit its spirit and designs still more unequivocally. On Tuesday, the 13th day of January, (the session began on the 8th,) an elaborate poHtical essay, in the form of a pre- amble and series of resolutions, was introduced in the Senate, 246 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. ' which with many counter-balancing declarations, and many sugges- tions of unconstitutional and indefensible action on the part of the Government in prosecuting the war, declared it the duty of the Lesfislature to sustain the Union and the State and National Gov. ernments, but concluded with the unequivocal avowal, which was the animating spirit and aim of all that preceded it, that the Sen- ate was in favor of "compromise and concession," and that "the party in possession of the Government had adopted the war policy, though the experiment had been attended with but little advan- tage." The astounding falsehood that the Government " had adopted the war policy," as if it had been left to choose, and was the assailant instead of the assailed, coupled with the declaration that "concessions" should be made to those w^ho had, without prov- ication, made war upon it, shows conclusively the feelings of the disloyal element of the Legislature. On the following day, the 14th, a long preamble and series of resolutions were otiered in the House, stating that the Government " had falsified it pledges," and " under the tyrant's plea of military necessity had usurped powers unwarranted by the Constitution and unsanctioned by the law, destroying all safeguards of freedom and independence ;" that the President's Emancipation Proclama- tion was not permitted to be discussed, as the suspension of the writ of habeas C07yus\va.s proclaimed purposely to prevent such discussion, "thereby crippling free speech and discussion upon his abolition policy while he might wdeld the largest army the WH)rld ever saw for the purpose of accomplishing his hellish scheme of emancipation without regard to State laws, constitutions or re- served rights;" and that "the late elections in Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and New York, by the triumph of conservatism over fanaticism, have demonstrated that the people utterly repudiate and condemn the abolition policy of the Admin- istration, and regard his (the President's) unprecedented usurpa- tions of power as a giant stride towards military despotism," and concluding w'ith the resolution, that, "while the President persists in his abolition policy in the conduct of the war," etc., " Indiana will not voluntarily contribute another man or another dollar, to be used for such wicked, inhuman and imholy purposesJ*^ Only perspi- cacity sharpened by rebel sympathies, could see that setting free the slaves of men warring against the Government — thus making persons, as God made them, of what had before been property — NOT ANOTHER MAN, NOR ANOTHER DOLLAR. 247 was an "unholy or inhuman" act; and as the emancipation measure was a deadly blow at the rebellion, and operated only in rebel States, not in loyal slave States, opposition to it could have had no motive but that of sympathy with the rebellion. An effort to "table" this proclamation of hope to the rebels was defeated. On the next day, the 15th, resokitions were offered declaring that " the creation of the State of West Virginia was a breach of the Constitution of Virginia," (as if any obligation rested upon the Government to regard the Constitution of a State in active and implacable hostility to it, after the State itself had repudiated that constitution and adopted another) — " and of the Nation, and be- trays the deliberate purpose of the Administration and the ma- jority in Congress" — both supporting the war — "to set aside the Constitution and establish upon the common ruins of the Union and the sovereignty of the States a revolutionary government, monarchical and military in its character, and in which all the great guarantees of civil liberty will be known no more forever;" that a national convention of all the States should be held at Louisville, Kentucky, to adjust our national difficulties ; and that there should be "a cessation of hostilities" to allow such a convention to be lield. Of course the supporters of these resolutions knew, just as well as did the rebels themselves, that "a cessation of hostilities" would be used, and could be offered, for no other purpose than to renew strength for the war against the Government. A motion to lay them on the table was defeated by a vote of 61 to 30. On the same day, in the same body, another resolution was offered instructing our Senators and requesting our Re[)resentatives in Congress, to take measures to suspend hostilities, and to call a a National Convention. On the same day, in the same House, as stated in the " Brevier Reports," a joint resolution was introduced "condemning the war, but not the rebellion,^'' which, instead of being peremptorily and in- dignantly rejected, was sent to the Committee on Federal Rela- tions. On the day following, the 16th, a petition of sundry citizens of Sullivan county was presented in the same body, and referred — not spurned, as any loyal body would have spurned it — urging that " not one man nor one dollar, be voted to prosecute this infernal abolition war.''^ On the same day, in the same House, a series of resolutions 248 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. was offered, declaring that '• ho who is not for his country, and his whole country, under all circumstances, is against his country;'" that " any word, act, or deed, which is calculated to creat(! divi- sions and dissensions in the North, and please the rebels, should be condemned and discouraged by every patriot in the land;'' and that ''the House heartily sanctions and indorses the patriotic sen- timents of the last speech made by Hon. Stephen A. Douglas, at Chicago, Elinois." The House, instead of adopting so plain a declaration of fidelity to the Government as this, referred it to the Committee on Federal Relations, and refused to indorse the senti- ments of Mr. Douglas. On the same day a joint resolution was introduced declaring that "the State of Massachusetts, with a population only about 120,000 smaller than that of Indiana, had been required to furnish only 60,- 000 soldiers, vvliile Indiana had furnished 102,700;" that "the draft had been rigidly and mercilessly enforced in Indiana, while it was not yet completed in Massachusetts;" and demanding of Congress an inquiry into the causes of "this discrimination in favor of Mas- sacliusetts." There could be no other motive for this declaration and demand than a purpose to excite hostility to Massachusetts, as a State favored at our expense, and to the General Government, as willing to show such favoritism — for the statements were monstrous and notorious falsehoods. The draft liad not been " mercilessly " enforced here, as everybody knew, for there were only 17,899 men drafted in the State during the whole war, and up to January, 1863, only 3,001 had been drafted — the State's quota having been made up of volunteers almost entirely.* Massachusetts, as shown by a detailed statement, made by Governor Andrew, had furnished, in proportion, as many men as Indiana, allowing for the large number of her citizens who were engaged in the Navy, serving the country quite as efficiently as they could in the army. On the second read- ing, attempts were made to inquire into the truth of the state- ments as to the action of Massacluisetts, and to strike out the false declaration as to the "merciless enforcement of the draft" here, but all were instantly voted down, A more conspicuous ex- hibition of mean spite and malignant disloyalty could not have ^Drafted men anil substitutes, cull of August 4, 18i3^ 3,001 Draftiiil uicn and substitutes, call of Jul}' Is, 18(14 12,474 Drafted men and substitutes, call of December 19, 1864 2,424 Total drafted men and substitutes durine; the war 17,899 Total volunteers furnislied by the State during the war I'j0,43« Grand total 208,36" "a ttt>t?wat nnA< nT><-i-iiiToT,i •'' A LIBERAL COMPROMISE PROPOSED. 249 been made, and can not be found in the records of any nation on the globe. On the 7th of February, the resolution failed for want of a constitutional majority, the vote standing forty-two for to eighteen against it. On the same, day, a joint resolution, with a preamble, was introduced in the same body, declaring that "those invested with authority were unable to compose the differences and avert the disasters of the country," and, therefore, a National Convention should be called, to be held in Louisville, on the 4th of July following, " to take into consideration such measures as may best promote peace among the people and union among the States"; that the President "should cause hostilities to cease from and after the first Monday of April until the first Monday in August next, if compatible with public safety;" that the voters of each legislative district should, on the first Monday of April, elect delegates to meet at Indianapolis on the first Tuesday of May; and that such convention of State delegates should elect delegates to the Nation- al Convention. On Monday, the 19th, a preamble and resolutions were offered in the House, declaring it to be "manifest that peace could never be restored by the sword, and that a continuance of the war, under the present policy of the Administration, must eventuate in the utter ruin and decay of our free, renowned and mighty Nation," and that "the seceded States should be received back into the Union on a liberal compromise^ granting them ungrudgingly all their con- stitutiowal rights and guarantees as equal, independent and sov- ereign States, with such additional safeguards as may be necessary to protect them in those rights." Giving "additional guarantees" to States which had thrown away what they already had, and were fighting to destroy all that the loyal States had, will strike most men of average brains as being about as "fiberal" as the most cowardly or treacherous man anywhere could ask. On the same day, in the same body, a resolution was introduced against the policy pursued "in this unnatural civil war," that is, "unnatural" on the part of the Government, as ''repugnant to the Constitution, and in open violation of the rights of the several States," and declaring that the House was "opposed to the prose- cution of any war, the objects of which are to interfere with domestic relations," that is, with slavery. On the 27th a series of preambles and resolutions was introduced in the Senate declaring that "the present civil war " was forced upon 250 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. the country "by llie wicked and fanatical factions of the North and South" — thus laying no tiiore blame upon those who began the war than upon those who did not; — that "it was filling the land with widows and orphans" — "bankrupting the Government and oppressing the people with taxation beyond their ability to bear" — " destroying the productive industry of the laboring man " — '• tilling the Northern section with a vagabond and servile race to compete with, or prey upon, the industry of the white man" — "imposing unequal burdens and commercial restrictions upon different portions of the North, sapping the foundations of religion, morality and |)ub- lic virtue; corrupting rulers; destroying personal liberty under the tyrant's plea of necessity; and obliterating from the hearts of the people the spirit of nationality and brotherhood ;" that " war is no remedy for disunion;" and that " under the present and recent pol- icy of the Cabinet at Washington arms can never restore the Union." Therefore, in view of these declarations, it was resolved that "we are opposed to a war for the libration of slaves, and, while that policy is maintained by the Administration, the highest dictates of patriotism impel us to withhold from it our support." ("Patriotism" that would leave the Government unsupported, that rebellion might destroy it, rather than see four millions of slaves set free, and given the right to their own bodies, families and labor, is a product unknown to any age or country but this.) It was also resolved, that "no Union can be maintained until fanaticism on the negro question, North and South, is eradicated ;" that " the people of the North must yield up the heresy of Abolition or the blessings of the Union;" "Abolitionism and the Union are incompatible;" "Abolitionism is moral treason;" "No patriot can be an Aboli- tionist." The North is tuld what it must yield to preserve the Union, but nothing is said of ivhat the South must yield. "Abolition- ism is moral treason," but nothing is said of the treason of capturing mints, arsenals and forts, confiscating Northern debts, or demand- ing the extension of slavery into territory made forever free by sol- emn compact. The Union, we are left to infer, is incompatible with Northern fanaticism, but entirely compatible with Southern fanaticism. Northern extremes of sentiment are " moral treason," but Southern extremes are merely injudicious outbursts of patriotic feeling. It was also resolved "that the interests of the white race, as well as the black, demand that the condition and locality of the latter should not be interfered with, and a war, or legislation, or CONGRESS SHOULD BE SUPERSEDED. 251 Presidential proclamation, to free the negroes are acts of flagrant vio- lation of the Constitulioi), and a wicked disregard of the people's voice, and of the best interests of the country, and should be con- stitutionally resisted by an outraged people." It was also resolved that "the accursed system of arrests" — for aiding the rebellion — "shall cease in the State," and the Legislature declares the "unal- terable determiation " to maintain the rights invaded by the sus- pension of the writ of habeas corpu^^ and by the consequent inter- ference with rebel spies and sympathizers, " at every hazard of blood and treasure." It was finally resolved, that our Consfressmen be urged and instructed, ^^ First, To procure an armistice for at least six months for the purpose of testing the probability of a perma- nent peace on the basis of the Union ; Second, To pass a law calling a convention of all the States to consider the state of the country and to devise some plan of settlement by which the Union shall be restored." The "six month's armistice" would enable the rebels to recover from their losses, and prepare for a more vigorous war, while it would keej) up the expenses without result and de- press the spirit of the JNorih. It was just the thing the rebels wanted. On the 29tli, in the Senate, a fresh encouragement of the rebels was introduced, which declared, " that it was the imperative duty of the Chief Executive of the Nation to proclaim, and, we therefore, for and in the name of the people of Indiana demand, the estab- }ishm(^nt as soon as practicable of an armistice, to the end that a convention of all the States may be held for the adjustment of our national difficulties;" also, "that Congress should labor to provide for such a convention," and in the event that Congress fails to pro- vide for such a convention, "we hereby, in the name of the people of Indiana, invite each and every State in the Federal Union, in- cluding the so-called Confederate States, to meet delegates from the State of Indiana in convention at Nashville, Tennessee, on the first xMonday, being the first day of June, 1863, each State to send as many delegates as shall equal the number of Senators and Representatives in Congress;" that, for the purpose of carrying out these objects, there should be elected on the first Monday of April, thirteen delegates from the State at large to represent Indiana in that, convention, unless Congress should provide for such a conven- tion, in which case the delegates should represent the State in the latter convention ; and that if Congress should not provide for a 252 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. convention the delegates should be paid five dollars per day, and five cents per mile of travel, from the State Treasury. The only feature that distinguishes this from the other propositions for a National Convention is, that it provides for the inauguration of a government, in derogation and defiance of the Constitutional Gov- ernment; takes the affairs of the nation out of the hands of Con- gress and the President and puts them into the hands of a body unknown to any law, and thus overturns the Constitution and the Goverimient. The spirit in which the more deteruiined adherents of the rebel cause, acted may be judged from some of the declarations made in the debate on February 10th, upon a proposition of the loyal mem- bers to create a committee to adjust ditierences and secure harmo- nious action on two points: First. The powers and duties of the Governor. Second. The prosecution of the war, and the status of Indiana as connected therewith. One member (see page 183 of Brevier Reports) said: "This propo^^ition came from the wrong quarter. It reminded liiin of the fable of the rooster and the horses. The rooster said, ' Gentlemen, don't let us tread on each other's toes.' If the minorit?/ don't want the majority to tread on their toes, let them g-et out of the wai/y Another said, the proposi- tion was idle, ^^ because it was very well understood by the majority what they would do and the time when it woidd be done. The Com- mittee would tend to delay action." Another said, " The resolu- tion was the hight of tom-foolcry. The views of both parties were knoivu. They could never agree on any important question." That is, the disloyal element would never agree as to the loyal status of Indiana in the war, as to the prosecution of the war, or as to the powers of the Governor, v^diose office as Military Commander-in- Chief it had already been repeatedly declared should be taken from him, for these were the only questions the Committee were to con- sider. But the resolute rebel sympathizers could not carry all their associates with them and the proposition was adopted. On the 27th of February resolutions were offered in the House of Representatives declaring that the session was nearly over and that prompt action must be taken to meet the demand for a cessa- tion of hostilities, and, therefore, the Committee on Federal Rela- tions were instructed to report, on the 4th of March following, a bill or joint resolution for a National Convention ; for prompt action on the part of Congress in behalf of such a convention ; " against ACTION IN REGARD TO SOLDIERS. 263 Ihe prosecution of the war for another day, or another hour, while the President adhereres to his abolition policy;" and that "Indiana will not willingly furnish another man or another dollar for the fur- ther prosecution of this wicked and unnatural war, (if the Admin- istration is determined to further wage it in spite of the wishes of the people,) unless it be explicitly understood that it shall be waged solely for the preservation of the Union, with all the rights, dignity and equality of the States unimpaired." Action in Regard to Soldiers. — On the 16th of January, a joint resolution was introduced proposing to amend the Constitution of the State so as to allow soldiers in the field to vote. On the 14th of February, the Judiciary Committee, to which the proposition had been referred, reported that it was "inexpedient," and the soldiers were disfranchised, during the time of their perilous service, by a vote of 42 to 33. On the 19th of January, a joint resolution was introduced in the House stating that "the Government had failed to pay the soldiers the small pittance which they have so richly earned, while the officers over them, as a general thing, have been promptly paid, and thus' enabled to indulge in all manner of luxury, while the /?oor, helpless privates are compelled to sufter privations andvmnt,'' and that "Gov- ernor Morton and President Lincoln had seemingly lost all sym- pathy and regard for white men in the ranks, who are fighting the battles of their country, and give their entire sympathy to the negroes of the South, as is evidenced by the fact that they regard with apparent indifference their great neglect and many com- plaints," and demanding prompt payment for the men, and a "ces- sation of the discrepancy in favor of the otiicers." Like the Mas- sachusetts resolutions, these statements were manufactured purpose- ly and obviously to excite the hatred of the soldiers against their officers, and to prejudice them against the Government. More im- pudent falsehoods were never published or uttered. Portions of the army were not well paid, simply because paymasters frequently could not safely get to the more advanced positions. But in such cases, officers and men were alike unpaid, and the fact was well known to every member of the Legislature and to the author of these resolutions. On the 10th of February, a joint resolution, previously introduced in the Senate, opposing the arming of negroes against the rebels, was reported back from the Committee on Federal Relations, with 254 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. a recommendation Ihat it pass. It declared that "the people of the State had over and over again decided against any interference with slavery." A motion was made to amend this statement, as it now applied to a state of war, and the people of Indiana had nev- er decided that, in case of war, slavery should not be interfered with. This motion was voted down by twenty-five to nineteen, thus making emphatic the judgment of the supporters of the reso- lution that even in ivar, and when employed to the utmost against the (jovernment and the Union, slavery was to be sacred from any interference by those it was used to destroy. If any attitude of equal servility to an institution so infamou-; as slavery, can be found else- where in all history — making slavery so sacred that even when em- ployed in war against us, and when all other property would be taken without hesitation, it must be preserved — it must be when more of the world's history is discovered Ihan anybody has yet learned. A motion to add to the resolution a declaration in favor of a '-vigorous prosecution of the war" was amended by the condi- tion that 'Hhe President shall immediately ivithdraiv his Emancipa- tion Proclamation:'' That is, the disloyal element of the Senate would not sustain a vigorous prosecution of the war unless the President would leave slavery safe, sacred, and uninjured, let it do what it might aginst the Union, This scandalous amendment, and comi)lete nullification of the declaration in favor of the war, was adopted by twenty-four to eighteen. But all this, as devotedly subser- vient to the rebellion as it could be, was not enough. A proposition was made to amend the joint resolution by declaring: 1st. "That notwithstanding there may be differences of opinion in regard to the policy of some of the war measures of the Administration, yet the State of Indiana, without distinction of party, still unwaver- ing in her devotion to the National Government, again reiteraies her pledges of fidelity to the common cause, and will with all her energies, with all her power, and all her means, /^rfs/? steadily for- ward in the war to put down the rebellion, and restore the Union and the Constitution, with the distinct understanding that the same is not prosecuted for any sectional, political or anti-slavery purpose." 2d. "That our Congressmen be requested to vote for all laws hav- ing the effect to lighten the labor, protect the health, and save the lives of lohite soldiers, by employing acclimated persons of African de- scent wherever their services can be made useful and safe, having proper regard to their capacity, previous relation to the whites, and soldiers' resolutions spurned. 255 the nntipathies of race, condition and color, in framing s^uch laws." Arfd this, because it declared for a steady proseculion of the, war and suppression of — not conripromise with — the rebellion, aud be- cause it demanded the employment of negroes where their seiviceg could save the lives or health of white soldiers, was voted dotcn by 24 to 20. On the 13th, a second attempt was made to amend the resolu- tion against employing negroes in the army, by declaring — 1st. " That the necro troops should be employed in departments sepa- rate from whites;" and 2d. " That no rank higher than Captain should be conferred upon persons of African descent, nor should such persons, in any instance, be placed in command over white men." But even this exceedingly morderate approval of the em- ployment of negro soldiers was too much for those who objected to any means of resistance to the rebellion, and it was voted down by 25"to 20. On the 12th of February, the disloyal element exhibited its feel- ings toward the soldiers in another and still more offensive form. The news of the efforts already spoken of, to bring about an armis- tice, and a convention to end the war by compromise with enemies who had made the war without provocation, had reached the army. The soldiers knew, as well as did the legislators who made the propositions, that the effect of an armistice would be to give the rebels the chance to strengthen themselves, and to renew the war with greater advantages, and they held meetings, and, as citi- zens of the State as well as soldiers, denounced such efforts. The resolutions of the Sixth, Fifteenth, Seventeenth, Twenty-Second, Twenty-Ninth, Thirty-Second, Thirty-Fourth, Thirty-Seventh, Thirty-Ninth, Fortieth, Forty-Second, Forty-Fourth, Fifty-First, Fifty-Seventh, Fifty-Eighth, Seventy-Second, Seventy-Third, Seventy- Fifth, Seventy-Ninth, Eighty-Second, Eighty-Sixth, and One Hundred and First regiments, were presented in the Senate on the 12th.* They were immediately assailed by the disloyal element as having been concocted at home and sent to the army, but were finally referred to the Committee on Federal Relations. The resolutions from the Sixty-Sixth and Ninety-Third regiments,! at Corinth, were treated still more harshly. It was moved "to re- ject them ;" " to reject the whole batch ;" " they were an insult to *Apppndix, Does. Noe. 147 and 148, fAppmidix Doc. No. 149. / 256 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. all who favored an armistice." The memorial, with the resolu- tions, t^fls rejected by a vote of 28 to 18, as disrespectful, because it denounced as "traitors" those who proposed to give the rebels, by an armistice, four, five, or six months for recuperation. The petition of disloyal men of Sullivan county, which denounced the war as an " infernal abolition war," and begged " that not one man nor one dollar be voted to prosecute it," was deemed respectful, and kindly referred to a committee. On the 19th of February, in the House of Representatives, a preamble, with resolutions, was introduced, reciting that a meeting of the Twenty-Seventh Indiana Regiment had been held a short time before near Stratford Court House, Virginia, in which it had been declared that two propositions for an armistice and a national convention, already set forth in this report, both introduced in the Senate, one on tlu- 27th and the other on the 29th of January, "were nothing less than treason," and offering their services to the Governor to enforce the law against such conduct. The resolu- tions of the House denounced those o'f the regiment as "introduc- ing party divisions in their most ofiensive forms;" "fomenting in- subordination and tending to produce civil war at home;" and requested information of tiie Governor whether he approved them, and whether similar oilers had been made by others. As a censure on the action of the regiment, the House resolutions were adopted by a vote of 50 to 29. On the 28th of February, memorials were presented in the Sen- ate from the Nineteenth and Twentieth Indiana Regiments, pro- testing against the attempt, then in progress in the Legislature, to take from the Governor all military power and subject him to a council of men opposed to the war; also protesting against an armistice, and denouncing the encouragement of desertion. They were severely censured as insults to the Legislature and the off- spring of minds " prejudiced against the members." "Prejudice" there doubtless was, of exactly that kind to which the counsel for a felon alluded in his defense when he said " He could not expect a favorable verdict, for the evidence had prejudiced the jury against his client." Effect of these Efforts. — Little direct effect was produced by any of these disloyal efforts in the Legislature, for none were completed into formal legislative acts. It is doubtful indeed if any expectation was seriously entertained of accomplishing a direct REBEL ENCOURAGEMENT OF NORTHERN DISLOYALTY. 257 result. The real object, and that which was accomplished, lay aside from the obvious and natural effect of such measures, It was the assurance to the rebels of sympathy in the North, which could be depended upon to obstruct the loyal action of State governments ; to decry and denounce every effort to prosecute the war; to weaken the army by exciting enmity between officers and privates; to alarm the people by fears of the hopelessness of crush- ing the rebellion by force; and to encourage secret organizations for resisting the laws in support of the war. This was accomplished. There wxre some thirty or forty propositions, in one form or an- other, denouncing the war, or the measures of the Government to prosecute it, or to protect itself from treason at home, made during the session ; and not one, favoring the war, condemning the rebel- lion or sympathizing with the Government, came from any mem- ber of the disloyal faction. Those that were offered by loyal mem- bers were voted down, or thrown aside. This action was full of consolation and encouragement to the rebels at Richmond. They saw even more hope in it than they did in the " situation " at Vicks- burg, or in the East, hopeful as they seemed at that time, the " winter of our discontent," as it might with sadly just emphasis be called. The Richmond Whig of February 11th, about two weeks after the introduction of the two leading propositions for an armistice and national convention, those in the Senate of the 27th and 29th of January, said of them : " We copy elsewhere an article, from an Indianapolis paper, with two sets of resolutions, which have been laid before the Indiana Legislature. The paper from which we copy (the Journal) is violently Republican. It pro- nounces the resolutions an ordinance of secession. They have very much that flavor. They are intensely bitter against the war and the objects for which it is waged, and urge an armistice of six months, and a national convention to settle all difficulties. In one set it is proposed, if the convention is not held, that Indiana shall act for herself. The furious denunciation of the resolutions by the Republican papers, constitutes their best recommendation, and argues a redeeming spirit among the people of the North West. We of the Confederate States should do lohat is possible to encourage the growth and ascendency of that spirit.^^ In December, just before the Legislature met (but when the Spirit which would control it, was fully understood, all over the country,) Jefferson Davis, said in a speech at Jackson, Missis- Vol. 1.— 18. 258 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. sippi, "out. of this victory (that which Bragg was cxpecfed to gain at Miirfreesboro) is to come that dissatisfaction in the North West, ivhich ivill drive our enemies from power in that section. Antl then we see in the future ihe'dawn ; first, separation of the North West from the Eastern States, the discord among" them, which will paralyze the power of l)oth ; thkn for us, future peace and prosperity.''^ Ill the Rebel Congress, the information of the disloyal attitude of so large a portion of the people of Indiana and the other North Western States, was welcomed as better news than any victory in the field. Hknry S. Foote, rebel Senator from Tennessee, intro- duced resolutions of congratulation upon the pleasing prospect thus afforded the rebellion,, declaring that the rebel Congress '■'■sym- pathized most kindly, with those who have brought about this change in the NorthP They also kindly held out offers of peace to such States as should separate from New England and unite with the South. Expressions of pleasure at the sympathy exhibited by our Leg- islature, and by others, and in other modes, wiih the rebellion, were common in rebel papers and upon rebel tongues at this time, and the extracts quoted here are but samples of hundreds. The confi- dence derived from such assurances, that sooner or later, by politi- cal if not military successes,, the rebellion would be completed, was one of the strongest motives to protract the war. Even when the storm of disaster that sweot over the rebel States on the 4th of July, 1863, killed all hope of tnilitary success, it left green and growing the hope of the final ascendency of those who had so fre- quently and heartily encouraged them to persevere. They had lit- tle to expect from their armies, but they had much to expect from a majority in Congress, disaffected and disloyal like the majority in our Legislature. And such a majority might be secured. It was not impossible. It was not even improbable ; for at the same time the disloyal element obtained the command of our Legisla- ture, it came within a very few votes of obtaining command of Congress. If we can conceive of such a majority in Congress as that which in our Legislature declared that " if the slaves of rebels were interfered with they would not vote a dollar or a man to prosecute the war;" which respectfully referred to a committee a petition of civilians declaring the war "an infernal abolition war;" which con- temptuously rejected a resolution of soldiers declaring it treason to offer an armistice to the rebels; and which attempted to take the MILITARY POWER OF THE GOVERNOR ATTACKED. 259 military power out of the hands of the Governor and put itto in the hands of men, a majority of whom were sworn members of a secret treasonable society, we may easily conceive of a state of afTairs which in a week would have terminated in the usurpation of military power by a retjel sympathizing committee of Congress, and in the surrender to the rebels of our Government and the substitution of theirs, with New England excluded. Therefore, the rebels had a better hope behind than that which Meade scotched at Gettysburi?-, and Grant crushed at Vicksburg. That hope they owed to the spirit which appeared and spoke in no equivocal language in the action of the Indiana Legislature of 1863, which has just been set forth. Two years of our struggle, and of our monstrous expenses, are due to that action, and to that of other bodies similarly inspired. If there had been no disloyal faction, and no sympathizing language in the North in and before the Summer of 1863; if all had been resolute to crush the rebellion ; no sane mind can conceive it possi- ble that the war would have continued till the fall. That it did con- tinue is the act as much of the rebel sympathizers of the Indiana Legislature and its adherents and affiliated bodies, as of the rebels themselves. Efforts to deprive the Governor of Military Power. — The encour- agement given to the rebellion by repeated declarations of opposi- tion to the war, and of a desire to terminate it by any concessions that would satisfy the rebels, was not to be left unsupported by more practical measures of obstruction. Throughout the election contest of 1862, intimations were frequently given by confident or indiscreet sympathizers with the rebellion, that if they were suc- cessful the military power of the State would be placed in hands that would use it differently from what Governor Mokton had done. " His tyranny," as they termed his energetic support of the war, " should be ended and the people left free to say and do what they pleased," that is, that resistance, by word or deed, to the war, should be no more restrained than loyal and cordial support of it- Secret societies, which had been in process of formation for months in all parts of the State, it was universally believed, were to be made the depositories of the State arms and constitute the force of the new military dispensation. The existence of these societies was not denied during the session of the Legislature, (see pages 65, 76, 145 and elsewhere of Vol. VI, Brevier Reports,) but it was alleged that they were formed only for " home protection " against 260 ^ ADJUTANT general's REPORT. " arbitrary arrests," and, as was frequently and publicly declared be- fore, " to protect themselves from the tax and the draft." As or- ganizations, if not in opposition, at lea^t not in sympathy, with the war or the Government, their existence was admitted both in and out of the Legislature, and was as well known as the existence of the war itself. The Grand Jury of the United States Circuit Court) in the Summer of 1862, ascertained from the examination of a large number of witnesses, who admitted their membership, that these societies were more flagrantly disloyal than popular suspicion had conjectured, and their report* of the 4th of August, of that year, startled the State with indisputable evidence' that combinations of traitors, sworn to resist the war and every means to prose- cute it, undermined nearly every community. The delivery of the State arms to such men, and their employment in the military du- ties which might be required at home or on the border during the war, would be equivalent to taking Indiana out of the national ranks and disabling her for all loyal action. While Governor Mor- ton retained the power conferred by the Constitution, such a meas- *ire, or any measure not in hearty support of the war, would be im- possible. To take that power from him was, therefore, a necessary step to any policy which contemplated making the State an ef- fective as well as sympathetic support of the rebellion. While he remained Commander-in-Chief and the dejiository of niilitary au- thority, it was very certain that there would be no failure or relax- ation of the exertions which had already won for the State and himself a very high and enviable standing in the records of the war. His promptitude, resolution, and sagacity would beat down disloyal resistance, and rally the people to his side and to renewed eflbrts against the rebellion, unless he could be made a cipher in the State government. As already stated, it had been often intimated that he should be made a cipher, and in the House of Representatives, on the 6th of February, one of the most prominent of the disloyal faction admitted that this was the purpose of the majorit3\ A member said, "I am informed that certain members of this House and of the Senate were recently in one of the Northern counlies of the State, where the gentleman, (the one alluded to,) I understood, said he regarded President Lincoln and Governor Morton as des- pots and tyrants worse than those of Austria." The gentleman answered, " Thafs 50." The other resumed, " I also understood *App(.'iidix, DocHtneut No. 90. MILITARY BOARD PROPOSED. 261 that they, (the majority,) as far as the Executive of this State is conccriiecl, intended to shear him of his power by the appointment of a Military Board, icho would take the military poiccr out of his hands." The gentleman answered, " That is nearly correct." (See page 124, Vol. VJ, Brevier Reports.) The purpose of the disloyal element of the Legislature, and of the disloyal secret societies, was thus well and widely known. Consequently, no one was surprised to learn that a resolution had been adooted in the House instruct- ing the .Military Committee to inquire into the expediency of so amending the ALlitia Law as to place the military power of the Slate in the hands of a majority of the following State officers : The Secretary, Auditor, Treasurer and Attorney General. One of the members, who assumed, and was allowed, a sort of noisy prom- inence in the body, supported the resolution by declaring that " he was in lavor of the Military Board taking out of the Governor's hands the military power. He would permit the Governor to be on the Board, but would put enough honest men on it to control it." On the 17th day of February, bill No. 221, with the modest title of a '* Bill providing for the organization of the Indiana Militia, for a military tax, and for other matters properly connected with the militia of the State," was introduced in the House. Its title gave no indication of its real purpose. It was the measure so often threatened, and so important to the schemes of the disloyalists, whioli took from the Governor all military power, and put it in the hands of four State officers, three of whom were members of a Secret Order, sworn to resist the war and the Government, and to assist the rebellion. By section 11 these four State officers were constituted a " Military Board " to "recommend to the Governor suitable persons to be appointed officers of the militia, but said State officers were authorized to give such persons certificates that they had been chosen," "which certificates should have all the force and effect of commissions, until commissions issued by the Governor be received." In other words, the certificate of the Board gave all necessary power to the officer, and the Governor's com- mission could be dispensed with entirely. This provision placed the militia entirely in the hands of the Board. Section 13 gave to the Generals created by the Board, under section 11, the power to disband regiments or companies and take away their arms, without the assent of the Governor, in 262 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. case of insubordination — that is, in case a regiment or company should not recognize officers appointed by the Board, and should recognize and obey those appointed by the Governor. This provi- sion enabled the creatures of the Military Board to disband every loyal company in the State, and to take their arms and give them to the secret organizations which were to constitute the military force under the new system. Sections 22 and 23 took from the Governor all control of the State arms. The first gave " to the staff of the Major- General," a creature of the Board, the power "to call in all the arms and military accoutrements belonging to the State," which, when called in, "should be kept by the Assistant Quartermaster General, on the staff of the Major General," also a creature of the Board. The second required that orders for arms should be sent, not to the Governor, but "to the Assistant Adjutant General on the staff of the Major Gen- eral," another creature of the Military Board, and " be ap- proved by the officers of State." Thus the appointment of officers, the possession of arms, the distribution of arms, the pres- ervation or disbandment of companies; in fact, the whole ma- chinery of tlie State's military power, was taken out of the Gover- nor's hands, and placed in the hands of men, a majority of whom were notoriously sympathizers with the rebellion. The unconsti- tutionality of the measure was not only obvious, but was so ob- vious, so obtrusive, that hardly a pretense of constitutionality was made for it. It was a revolutionary project in aid of the rebellion, and no impudence or ingenuity could make it anything else. Its supporters were resolute to drive it through. They treated the earnest protests and unanswerable arguments of the loyal mem- bers as contemptously as they treated the Governor's message. As soon as the bill was read the first time, it was moved to sus- pend the rules and read it a second time, and 52 to 37 sustained this headlong policy. Bat it required two-thirds, and the second reading was deferred. On the 19th of February it was read the second time and printed. It was thus brought fully before the public, and its character was exposed everywhere with such effect that some of the prominent members of the majority assured Governor Morton, and very many private citizens, that it should not pass. But those who made it meant it, and did not mean to drop it, and still pressed its passage. It was a conspicuous illus- tration of the audacity of rebel sympathies, that so defiant an out- REVOLUTION MET BY RKVOLUTION. 263 rage on the Constitution, perpetrated in aid of so causeless a re- bellion, should be urged to completion with but little deia)', and less apology. Ozi the 25th of February, the bill was considered in Committee of the Whole, and reported back to the House, when eight amendments were proposed, which would have had the effect of making it constitutional and useless. The amendments were laid upon the table by a vote of 53 to 35. Then an attempt was made to refer it to the Judiciary Committee for examination of its constitutionality. This was voted down by 51 to 30, and then the gag of the " previous question " was put upon ail debate by a vote of 53 to 16. And finally the bill v.'as ordered to be engrossed bv a vote of 52 to 17. This action proved conclusively the determination of the disloyal faction to force their revolutionary project through at all hazards. The loyal members were too weak to resist successfully b}' ordinary parliamentary tactics, and unless they could devise means more effective than motions, argun)ents, and votes, they could expect nothing less than to see the Governor displaced by a Military Board, the arms in the hands of a secret disloyal Order, and the State's support of the war turned into apathy or resistance. The peril was imminent. The promises of those who had declared the bill should not pass were effectually broken by the vote that engrossed it. They were, in all probability, never meant to be kept. The loyal members had but one remedy. They must meet revolution in aid of the rebellion by revolution in aid of the Gov- ernment. They accordingly left the hall of the House, and soon after left the city. The House was then without a quorum. They remained absent in the city of Madison till the end of the session, and thus defeated the attempt to turn the State into a rebel auxili- ary. But, repeatedly during their absence, they pro})Osed to the disloyal faction to return and complete whatever legislation was necessary for the ordinary administration of the State government, if the Military Board Bill were not pressed. That measure, they were resolved, should not pass, and if its supporters were resolved to sacrifice all other business to it, there was nothing more to be done. If they deemed it more important to press a bill for the withdrawal of the State from the war, (which was the sure effect and undoubted purpose of this bill,) than to provide for the ordina- ry wants and business of the State, the choice and its responsibili- 264 ADJUTANT general's REPORT, ty were theirs. They took the responsibility. One of them, in re- ply to a proposition to lay aside the Military Bill and take up other subjects, said: "We shall do nothing, if these propositions are made by authority, /or ive will press these measures. We will press themy (See page 193, Vol. VI., Brevier Reports.) Each side ad- hered to its course. The supporters of the rebellion would not give up their measure. The loyal minority would not tolerate it. Thus failed, not only the Military Bill, but every other bill that had not been passed before the retirement of the loyal members. Thus he bills making appropriations to carry on the State government, to maintain the asylums and the penitentiaries, to pay hundreds of claimants who had done work or furnished goods for the State, all failed. riNANClAL EMBARRASSIII'NTS. The failure of the Appropriation Bills, which was the direct effect of the attempt to depose the Governor, left the State in a con- dition to which it would be difficult to find a parallel in any country- Engaged in a desperate war, with more than one hundred thous- and men under arms, demands were constantly made by the Gen- eral Government for more men to recruit or increase the forces in the field. Secret organizations, sworn to resist and embarrass every effort for the war, pervaded every county. Deserters, under the solicitations of friends who promised them protection, came skulking home by thousands. Bands of troops sent to arrest them were resisted, fired upon, or eluded. Officers employed in execut- ing the draft laws were openly mobbed or secretly murdered- Local conflicts and collisions seemed every instant on the point of spreading into a domestic war. Prominent speakers traversed the State and the Northwest denouncing the Government and coun- seling resistance. Newspapers constantly deepened and [)oisoned the irritation which the necessities of war always create. Currency was falling, prices rising, and distress increasing. The war seemed to make little progress, and the end of the gloomy path we were treading appeared, both to sense and hope, far away, in this con" dition of things, black and bloody enough, the Legislature met, and proceeded by scores of votes and resolutions to declare its distrust of the Government, its hostility to the war, and its disposition to concede what the rebels demanded. This was the military "situa" tion." One more difficult to measure and provide for can hardly THE FINANCIAL BUREAU. 265 be conceived. It was more than enough for a strong and wise man to carry the State safely through such a storm. But in the midst of these perils, closing in ahead, pressing nearer on every side, she was left without means to pay her debts, preserve her credit, to carry on her most vital operations. To meet such a crisis, in a civil administration during such a stormy and perilous period in a military administration, is not often given to man to attempt, very rarely to accomplish. Governor Morton met the crisis with a decision and energy that showed he clearly understood its necessities, and was fully resolved to conquer them. The State Oificers could be depended on for nothing but hindrances of whatever he attempted for the duty or credit of the State. Money must be raised to maintain the Asylums, or the inmates must be sent home. These institu- tions, if discontinued for two years, would be nearly ruined, and but little less difficult to restore than they were to establish. The Pen- itentiaries must be provided for or the convicts unloosed, or left un- guarded to unloose themselves. The Indiana Arsenal,'so important to the Government, must be carried on; the State militia, so often called into service to defend the border from rebel invasion and in- surrection, must be paid ; military expenses must necessarily be incurred in raising troops, for steamboats sent to relieve the sick and wounded with sanitary supplies, and to bring home the broken down and disabled, for special surgeons dispatched to the army and hospitals, for the support of the State military relief agencies, and other objects equally as essential. Even the travelling expenses of the Superintendent of Public Instruction, to enable him to per- form his duties, must be advanced. But where was the money to come from ? The Governor, in an address issued to the people of the State, May 10th, 1864, thus explains the course he felt com- pelled to pursue, and the plan resorted to, to overcome the diffi- culties by which he was surrounded : " In presenting the accompanying report of my Financial Secretary, it is proper that I should state, for public information, the reasons which induced me to estab- lish a Financial Bureau, and assume the heavy responsibilities which were thus thrown upon me. The Legislature of 18G3 adjourned on the 9th day of March, without making any appropriations foi' defraying the ordinary and extraordinary expenses of the ' State Government. The former appropriations for the Benevolent Institutions, the Hospital for the Insane, Institute for the Blind, and Asylum for the Deaf and Dumb, had been nearly or quite exhausted. The Northern Prison had not only 266 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. exhausted tlic appropriations hitherto made, but, by incuirini}; a heavy debt in con- struction of bulhlings, had exhausted its credit also. More than one hundred thousand of our citizens liad been sent to the field to assist in suppressing the rebel- lion, yet the only fund at my disposal, from which the contingent military expenses including the care and relief of the sick and wounded, could be paid, was a smal' remnant of the ai)pr()pria(ion made in 1861. For the civil contingent expenses of the Executive Department there was no provision whatever. The Auditor and Treasurer of State, upon being consulted by me immediately after the close of the session, decided that not a single dollar, in the absence of Legislative appropriations, should be drawn from the public funds in the Treasury for these objects. The alternatives thus presented to me, were. First — to allow the Benevolent In- stitutions to be closed, and permit the unfortunate inmates to be thrown back upon their respective counties, or upon the charities of the world for care and support ', or. Second — to convene the Legislature in extra session, in the hope that the majority, who had full control, would pass the appropriation bills. To have closed the Asylums would have been a shame and disgrace, as well as a crime against humanity itself. To have called back the Legislature, after the majority for fifty days, during which time a quorum was present in each house, out of the fifty-nine days of the regular session, had failed and refused to bring forward and pass the ap- propriation bills, I believed would have been perilous to the public peace and dan- gerous to the best interests of the State. In this contingency I determined to procure, if possible, sufficient money to carry on all the institutions of tlie State and keep the machinery of the government in motion. I accordingly established a Bureau of Finance, and appointed Colonel W. H. H. Tereell, Financial Secretar3% My success in procuring funds exceeded my expectations, and I am gratified to state that provision has been made for all the means which will likely be required to meet every proper demand up to the next regular meeting of the Legislature." All the money required, and more, was readily obtained. Not a halt or jolt was felt in all the State machinery, and the work of the war never slackened a moment. For nearly two years the finan- cial business of the State was thus carried on. Over one million of dollars was disbursed, and a Joint Committee of the Legisla- ture appouited to investigate the books and vouchers, reported that every cent had been fully accounted for, and every expenditure economically and properly made. It will not be easy to find any- where an instance of action more perfectly adapted to a great emergency than this. It filled every necessity and filled it at once, though there are few public men who would have dared to assume such enormous responsibility or who could have brought it to such a successful termination. It may appear a very easy thing now to resort to contributions when appropriations fail, and so it was very easy to make an egg stand on end when the way was once shown. But nobody but Columbus happened to think of the way. INTEREST ON THE PUBLIC DEBT. 267 The Governor was not released from his worst difficulties by his " contributions " and his " Financial Bureau." A. much greater in its consequences, if it were not met, was the payment of the inter- est on the State debt. No provision had been made for this any more than for other necessities. But wise and honest men thought that no es|)ecial provision was necessary for it, because the contract with the bond-holders solemnly pledged the faith of the State for its payment, and fixed time, place and amount. This they held was a perpetual or continuing appropriation, and any other especial- ly directed to the same object was superfluous. But the State offi- cers, whatever they thought, acted upon a different construction of the law. They would not pay the interest, although the money was idly lying in the Treasury. The State Auditor would not draw for it, and the State Agent, afterwards better known as an active agent and tool of the rebels in Canada, declared that he would not pay it to the bond-holders if it were sent to him. A case was got up between the State Auditor and the Sinking Fund Commissioners to test the question as to the legality of paying our debt, in time, place and amount, as solemnly agreed upon. Through a false entry, fraudulently imposed UjDon the Circuit Court of Marion County, the case was taken to the Supretne Court in time to allow a decision before the first installment, after the ad- journment of the Legislature, became due. It was well understood that the Supreme Court would decide that the interest could not be lawfully paid, and that the decision, equivalent to repudiation for two years, would ruin the State's credit. The decision was made promptly, and precisely as was universally predicted. If Governor Morton had been willing to accept the failure of the Legislature to make an appropriation as an irremediable evil, he would have done no more than Governor Willard did a fgw years before in allowing the Asylums to be closed. If he, willingly or unwillingly, .had accepted the decision of the Supreme Court as a full justifica- tion of his refusal to act in the matter, no man could have justly censured him. But he paid no regard to the excuses he might make for himself. He looked only to the credit of the State. He knew that the failure of the Legislature to make an appropriation, whatever it might do for him, would not keep the State's stocks from tumbling ten or twenty per cent. He knew that the decision 208 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. of the Supremo Court, completely as it might protect him, would not t?hield the State from the sneers and reproaches that would fol- low an act of virtual repudiation. He set to work at once, with all his energy, to procure the money to pay the interest. And he suc- ceeded. A liberal and loyal house in New York, which had long been identified with the interests of the State, advanced the money, and the State's credit was preserved. If it had not been, it is diffi- cult to imagine the condition in which the Legislature of I860 would have left us. " Honey-combed" with secret treasonable socie- ties, bubbling with local riots and disaffection, the laws defied, the officers shot or mobbed, half the manhood of the State away in the army, State Officers working only to embarrass loyal State action, the Supreme Court justifying them, with no money but contribu- tions, no Treasury but an extemporized bureau, we only needed re- pudiation to be as badly ofi" as treason, dishonesty, and folly could make us. That we escaped all, and struggled through so gloriously, is due to the energy, decision, clear-sightedness, disinterestedness, and iron w^ill of Governor Oliver P. Morton. REVIEW OF LEGISLATIVE OBSTRUCTIONS. Glancing back over the record of the embarrassment created by the Legislature to the war, which has been set forth, it will not be difficult to collect into one view the main points from which ema- nated encouragement for the rebels or discouragement for loyal men. By denouncing as " inhuman tyranny" and " shameful cruel- ty " the military arrests of men known to be traitors; by demand- ing perfect freedom of speech and action for all who wanted to use cither to assist the rebels; by declaring, in scores of resolutions, that the war was hopeless; by demanding an armistice, that the rebels might have time to recuperate ; by proposing conventions to take negotiations for peace out of the hands of Congress and the Gov- ernment; by refusing to investigate the charges, though based on the oaths of hundreds of their members, that secret disloyal socie- ties were organized in aid of the rebellion in the State; by attempt- ing to depose the Governor and place in his stead a Military Board of men pledged to oppose the war and the Government; by allow- ing the State's necessities and credit to go unprovided for rather than give up a flagrantly unconstitutional scheme to cripple her efforts for the war; and by other less conspicuous means, the dis- POPULAR FEELING AGAINST THE WAR. 269 loyal element of the Legislature of 1863 gave to the rebellion more encoLirageirient, and did more to prolong the war, than a reinforce- ment of ten thousand men could have done. Such action was a promise of all that the rebels desired, to be fulfilled whenever their friends obtained power. And the possession of power in several of the largest and strongest States was a promise full of cheerinir, that the power might soon be obtained in enough of the others to ride down the President, make peace, and install the rebellion in full command of the nation. This was somethina: to fiajht and suffer for, and that the rebels did fight and suffer for nearly two years after all military success was hopeless is due to the exhortations and en- couragements of such bodies as the Indiana Legislature of 1863. EXPRESSIONS OF POPULAR FEELING AGAINST THE WAR. This action of the Legislature was not a reflection of the real feel- ings of a majority of the people. It was only the gross misuse of the j)ower conferred by a temporary dissatisfaction tvith the war. Very many loyal men, who wished to rebuke what they regarded as a want of vigor or judgment on the part of the Government and some of its Generals, voted against those who were unconditionally pledged to go on with the war, and thus gave a majority to those who were either disloyal, or so far dissatisfied as to cooperate with disloyalists. Yet, that this action was a reflection of the real feel- ings of a large portion of the people will appear from the language of very man} newspapers, orators, and public meetings, at differ- ent periods of the war: Bij Local Meetings. — Before war was yet considered certain by the people of the North, in February, 1851, a meeting, held at Can- nelton, Perry county, passed this resolution : " K no compromise can be obtained, and a disunion shall be unfortunately made be- tween the Northern and Southern States, then the commercial and agricultural interests of the peoi)le of this county require us to say that we can not consent that the Ohio river shall be the boundary line between the contending nations; and we earnestly desire that, if a line is to be drawn between the North and South, that line shall be drawn north of us." A similar resolution was adopted in Washington county, at a large meeting on the 16th of February, 1861. In many counties, at various times during the war, senti- 270 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. ments hostile to it were expressed in the most public and emphatic inamier. A few t^pecirnens are here given : Allen. — At. a meeting in Allen county, on the 13ih of August, 1864, resolutions were adopted declaring that "War is no remedy for disunion, but is disunion and eternal separation itself; therefore we are in favor of, and demand of those in authority, a cessation of hostilities.^^ "We declare the proposed draft for 500,000 men the moat damnable of all other outrages perpetrated by the Alininistra- tion upon the people." "If fight we must, we will fight ft)r the Constitution and the Union, and will never give anij aid or assist- ance to the continuing of this unholy and unconstitutional ivarP Bartholomeiv. — At a iueeting held February 7th, 1863, it was de- clared "That we invite conservative men, everywhere, to cooperate with us in an earnest endeavor to bring about a speedy termination of the Vv'ar, and to this end we will favor an armistice, to enable the belligerents to agree upon terms of peace." Brown. — At a meeting of January 1st, 1863, it was resolved that "Our interests and inclinations will demand of us a. withdraival from the political association in a common government with the New England States ; " also, " We demand an immediate armistice preparatory to a compromise of existing difficuhies," and ^'■general amnesty for political offenses." At a subsequent meeting, on the 13th of August, 1863, it was resolved that "The present fratricidal and desolating war was unnecessarily forced upon the country by wicked, fanatical politicians North and South;" that "We are op- posed to furnishing men or money to prosecute a war to free ne- groes;" and "We are in favor of an immediate armistice and a National Convention to restore peace and union under the Consti- tution." Clay. — A meeting on the 23d of February, 1863, resolved that "We recommend a cessation of hostilities for such a period as may be necessary to allow the people of the North and South, by a Na- tional Convention, to express their wish for a maintainance of the Union as it was under the Constitution as it is," Carroll. — A meeting of January 1st, 1863, resolved against the war and the President's Emancipation Proclamation. DeKalb. — A meeting on January 31st, 1863, declared " That we will not give one cent or send one single soldier to the present con- test while it is conducted for its present uniioly purpose." At a COUNTY DISLOYAL 3IEETIXGS. 271 snbsequent meeting, of February 2lst, it was declared that "Wo are in favor of an armistice,'' and that '-We are unwilling to furnish either men or money for any auch purposes "—meaning for an emancipation war. Fulton. — A convention of June 25tb, 1864, resolved "That we are opposed to the prosecution of the present war for the subjuga- tion of States," and "We are satisfied that its furtlier prosecution for such a purpose will prove the utter destruction of civil liberty in America." Greene. — A meeting of February 27th, 1863, resolved that ''We hereby declare our opposition to the further prosecution of the war as it is now being waged, and that we are not in favor of furnish- ing the present Administration another ma?i, g-tm, or dollar for such a hellish and unchristian crusade.'' Huntington. — A meeting held in December, 1862, in a verv amusing recitation of imaginary evils inflicted upon the West by New England, declared "that had it not been for the fanaticism and peculation of New England our generation would not have witnessed the ghastly spectre of disunion, and were it not for the same causes still potent for evil, these difficulties could be ad- justed." No blame is attached to the South. Jackson. — A meeting of February 19th, 1863, declared "that it is our deliberate conviction that the union of these States can never be restored by war, and that such restoration can only be brought about by peaceful means through delegates to a National Convention." Lagrange. — A meeting of February 28th, declared that the time had already arrived when " all true lovers of the Constitution " should unite to inaugurate such action as would bring about a peace. As the rebels had repudiated the Constitution, this resolu- tion could only refer to the people of the North, thus making it their business to inaugurate peace. Lawrence. — A meeting of January 24th, 1863, resolved against the prosecution of the war and against emancipation. MaHin.—A. meeting of January 23d, 1863, resolved " That we regard the lives of white men as of more value than the freedom of the negro, and we have given the last man and .the last money we are willing to give for the prosecution of the present abolition war." Marshall.— X convention of June, 1863, resolved Wmi '' we are 272 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. « opposed to the war under any and all circumstances., and that we arc opposed to the further continuance of this unholy and unnatural strife." Madison. — A meeting of June 2oth, 1864, declared " the restora- tion of the Union by force impossible," and "that the history of the past three years has already demonstrated the utter hopeless- ness, as well as the gigantic wrong, of a further continuance of the present contest." Marion. — A meeting of March 18th, in Indianapolis, declared in favor of a cessation of hostilities. Posey — A meeting in this county declared " it beyond the power of the North to restore the Union by force, and we call on the Ad- ministration at once to stop a useless slaughter of our people and proclaim an armistice." Putnam. — A meeting of February 21st, ]863, resolved that there should be " a cessation of hostilities," and that it was " the deliber- ate sense of this meeting that not another soldier and not another dollar ought to be furnished for the further prosecution of this war for negro emancipation." Rush. — A convention of January 31st, 1863, resolved " That we are unqualifiedly opposed to the lurlher prosecution of this aboli- tion war, and believing that in its continued prosecution there await us only the murderous sacrifice of legions of brave men, ignominious and certain defeat, shame and dishonor at home and abroad, public ruin, and the serious endangerment of our liberties, we unhesitatingly declare ihat we are for peace, the cessation of hostilities, an armistice, and the settlement of existing difficulties by compromise or negotiation through a Natiot^al Convention." Shelby. — A meeting of February oth, 1863, denounced the Ad- ministration and emancipation, demanded a cessation of hostilities, and opposed the conscription laws. Scolt. — A meeting of January 26th, 1863, declared opposition to the prosecution of the war, and in favor of the measure to take away all military power from the Governor. Starke. — A meeting of January 25th, 1863, declared for a cessa- tion of hostilities, for a National Convention, and for the appoint- ment by the Legislature of commissioners to communicate with other States, and with Congress, to get their co-operation in secur- ing a National Convention. Sioitzerland. — A meeting at Vevay declares that •' we are un- DISLOYAL SPEECHES. 273 qnalifiedly opposed to the further prosecution of this abolition war, and believing that in its further prosecution there awaits us only the murderous sacrifice of our national honor, we are for peace, an armistice, and the settlement of our difficulties by compromise or negotiation through a National Convention," and that " we solemnly declare that we will 7iot furnish another man or another dollar to carry on this abolition war." Wa7jne.-~A meeting of March 20th, 1863, declared — 1st. That '* the further prosecution of this war will result in the overthrow of the Constitution, of civil liberiij, of the Federal Government, in the ele- vation of the black man, atid the degredation of the white mnn in the social and political stalus of the country." 2d. That "we are in favor of an armistice, and the calling of a National convention." 3d. That if the Administration goes on with its arrests by Provost Marshals and police otiicials " blood will flow." Other Expressions. — On the loth of August, 1864, an address to the people v/as published in one of the papers of the Capital counselling the formation of armed organizations, for the ostensible purpose of preventing improper interferences with elections, which were never .threatened, and of which there were not then, nor at any other time, any appearance. So alarming a proceeding, con- sidering that some of its most prominent authors were admitted members of a secret order sworn to assist the rebellion, was deemed by Governor Morton important enough to demand executive notice and reprehension.* The disloyal element must have felt itself very strong to have ventured thus to defy the Government. The speeches of public men are commonly and justly accepted as an expression of the views of those with whom they are associated politic- ally ; and the speech of any man may be accepted as an indication of the existence of at least some degree of public sentiment to sus- tain him, when such stormy elements are in motion as a civil war excites. And of disloyal speeches of Indiana men, it is quite pos- sible to fill a larger volume than this whole report will be. A very few extracts must suffice here. Early in April 1861, about the time the rebels attacked Fort Sumter, a gentleman who has made a good deal of noise, though it would be difficult to find anything else he has ever done, in a speech at Greencastle said: " I say to you my constituents that, as your representative, I will never vote one dollar, or one man, or one ^Appendix, Doc, No. 133. Vol. 1—19. 274 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. o-un to the administration of Abraham Lincoln, to make war o upon the South," though there is evidence that he freely promised 100,000 men to the rebels, and negotiated for '^0,000 muskets, with which, it is supposed, "iSons of Liberty" were to be armed. On the 18ih of May 1861, another gentleman who was very jrom.nent and has represented enough public sentiment to act as a Senator of the United States, and who at the time was a candi- date for Congress, said, "if this war interferes with the status of slavery I am opposed to it, and will not give one dollar to carry it on." A year alterwards he said, " President Lincoln is a traitor, robber, or fool." At a meeting in the Capital, in 1864, a prominent member said, " nine hundred and ninety-nine men of every thousand, whom I represent, breathe no other prayer than to have an end to this hellish war. When neias of our victories come, there is no rejoicing ; when neius of our defeat comes there is no sorrow.''^ In a speech in the Legislature, on tlie 1st of February, a mem- ber, who was afterwards a leader of the Sons of Liberty, and figured as a witness in the trial of some of them before a military court, said : " You will find strong arms and brave hearts beating in the breasts of over one hundred thousand Indlaniayis^ that will say, as you march under abolition banners tov/ards our brothers on the other side of yonder river, (Ohio) 'thus far shalt thou go and no farther.' I mean that whenever the President of the United States, calls upon the Governor of the State of Indiana for troops to c^o to the Southern States, and whip those seven states back into the Union, and force them to remain an integral part of the govern- ment * * * J ^yiii leave my native land — my hearth- stone — my wife and family, and rather become a private in the Southern army, fighting for equal rights and privileges, than be the commander-in-c-hief of an Abolition army, that would be compelled to <'o to the South, to shed the blood of those who dare raise their arms for freedom and liberty — for justice and self preservalion." There is much more to the same purpose, but there need be added only the following: " But if nothing but war and blood, and strife will settle the matter, let me tell you now you will not have a united North, and God forbid you should." A few extracts from newspapers, which are but specimens of thousands of similar utterances, may be added here to show what the disloyal element was and was resolved to do. ENCOURAGEMENT OP DESERTION. 275 A paper in Washington county, published in April 1861 the fol- lowing language : " When that day comes, there will be plenty of brave hearts to support the flag, and bear it aloft, if need be, over the blackened corpses of fanatical agitators,and fiendish Republicans. Then will come the tug of war. Indianians about here are not g-oing- to fight the South, and may in case of emergency stay the onward march of Abolition hordes." Another, published in Orange county, about the time the war commenced, said: "We would advise them to ascertain, before they commence raising their abolition crews for the South, how the land lies about home, and see if they might not subject themselves to a warm fire in the rearT On the 5th of January, 1863, just before the news of the battle of Stone River was received, a paper published at the capital said : " In view of this terrific contest is it not time to pause and think ? * * * Would it not be wise to stop where we are ? * * * Now let us be manly enough, reasonable enough, sensible enough to settle our national and sectional diflferences by a diflferent arbi- trament than that of war. Blood enough has been shed, money enough has been spent." Articles or extracts urging peace at any price, the establishment of an armistice, compromise, recognition of the Confederacy, and the like utterances encouraging the rebels, might be quoted to an, extent that would forbid the most patient reader from attempting to read them. But there can be no necessity to add to the evi- dences already presented of the existence of a strong and wide- spread sympathy with the rebellion among our people. ENCOURAGEMENT OP DESERTION. The third, and one of the most dangerous of all the modes- adopted by the disloyal element to weaken our armies and pros- trate the nation before its enemies, was the encouragement of de- sertion, and the protection of deserters by organizations formed for that purpose. Bat little effort was made in this direction during the first year of the war. The same causes that suppressed more demonstrative opposition of other kinds had their effect, no doubt,, in preventing any of this kind. But our disasters gave opportunity to the one, and impulse to the other, at the same time, and both began "'heir work together. The return of a deserter now and then, and ;ven the gradual increase in the number of desertions, caused no- 276 ADJUTANT GENERAL S REPORT. uneasiness. War as was new as it was terrible to our people, and they were consequently ignorant of the necessities of the service, of the importance of discipline and obedience, and above all, of absolute fidelity. To many, no doubt, an engagement as a soldier was very much like an engagement as a journeyman or laborer — a contract to be carried out as long as it could be conveniently done, but of which a violation was no very serious affair. To desert was simply to "knock off work." The first deserters, no doubt, acted under some such misapprehension. And they were received at home as if they had merely abandoned a job instead of having committed a crime that might cost them their lives. The Govern- ment, fully aware of the general want of appreciation of the char- acter of the offense, at first treated it very leniently. But as the evil began to grow with the growing severity of the service, greater strictness became necessary. The soldiers and the public, too, by that time had learned that desertion, to all honorable minds, meant worse than death, the utmost blackness of disgrace; and that, to ;al' other minds, it meant death. There was no longer any ignor- ance, or partial apprehension, of the nature of the offence any where. The peril of our armies which taught this lesson gave to the disloyal the impulse to defy it. They began sending letters to their rela- tives in the army urging them to desert. And desertions, which bad already been increasing from the increasing hardships of the service, now began to swell into most formidable proportions. Large bodies of troops were compelled to be kept at home to return these victims of disloyal persuasion. With the effort of the Government to reclaim deserters came eftbrts on the part of its .enemies to protect them. Organizations for that purpose were formed in neighborhoods all over the State, and conflicts with .guards sent to arrest deserters became so frequent as to excite little attention, unless they were bloody as well as illegal. In many cases, no doubt in most, these organizations were parts of the secret Order of Sons of Liberty. The character of their conduct, as well as the coincidence in the times of their appearance, would indicate a close connection and common origin. Encouragement of desertion was a cardinal tenet in the creed of the disloyal Order, -and, except in aggravated cases, we can hardly imagine that the people of any respectable neighborhood, uncorrupted by such asso- ciations, would make violent resistance to an armed guard who were simply executing the law. It is not necssary here to trace the LETTERS TO INDUCE DESERTIONS. 277 evidence that these solicitations to desertion, and these resistances even to blood of the arrest of deserters, generally proceeiled from this most infamous Order directly, or from influences emanating from it. But as successful as these treasonable or mistaken efforts to in- duce our soldiers to desert too often were, it is a matter of congrat- ulation to the State, and of immeasurable honor to the men upon whom the villainous attempts were made, that they failed far oftener than they succeeded ; and not only failed, but excited the most intense indignation in those who were sought to be seduced- Hundreds of dishonorable letters, encouraging desertion, were sent by the men who received them to the papers of the State for pub- lication. The columns of one or two of those at the Capital will show scores of them, and hardly a loyal paper appeared in any county for weeks that did not contain one or more. Thousands more doubtless were never revealed, but burned in silent indigna- tion, that the shame of a parent or relative might never be known- It would be unnecessary here, even if it were possible, to give such a number of these letters as would indicate the number actually re- turned and published, but it may be stated that they generally con- sisted of an assurance to the soldier that "-this was an abolition war, and that it was wrong to fight in it — that all the soldier's relatives thought he should come home, and if he did he had nothing to fear, as they were prepared to protect him, no matter what force was ' sent to arrest him." This is the substance of them all, as all wii* remember who can recall any of them. The effect of these efforts was alarming. So many desertei-s came home that especial exertions in recruiting had to be made to restore the strength they had abstracted, and the President was com- pelled to issue a proclamation against it, and warning deserters to return. No less than two thousand three hundred desertions were reported in the single month of December, 1862, and over ten thousand deserted in this State during the war, a very large pro- portion of them under the influence of these guilty and shameful solicitations. Besides the efforts made through letters, and similar means of inculcating disloyal sentiments and detestation of the service, emis. saries were sent into the army to organize lodges of the " Knights of the Golden Circle," and establish that perfidious ally of the rebel- lion in the very citadel of the Government's strength. Measures 2 78 ADJUTANT GENERALS REPORT. were taken also to protect deserters by the ready hands of disloyal Judo-es as well as by concealment, resistance and rescue. Volun- teers who had been made dissatisfied with their duty even before they had commenced it, were supplied with legal counsel who rarely lacked a lie or trick to make a pretext for a writ of habeas corpus ; and Judge?, quick to help them, were plenty enough. The writ, though suspended by law, would be issued, and under the plea of youth, debility, or it mattered little what, the recruit was discharged. The same remedy was found effective in cases of desertion, and was frequently used. The law was no obstacle, for lawyers and judges could readily find other law. At one time the determined effort of one of the judges of our Supreme Court to take a soldier out of the service by a writ of habeas corpus, after its legal suspen- sion, threatened a fatal collision between the civil and military au- thorities. The action of the Judge was a deliberate defiance of the National Government, and was generally believed to have been impelled by a desire to provoke a collision which could be made to tell upon the relations of political parties at that time. He threat- ened that " the streets of the Capital should run with blood " unless the soldier was suflfered to be taken by civil process. The spirit shown by him was not confined to him or his associates, by any means, but in nearly every part of the State judicial instruments of disloyalty could be found. With such influences at work, at home, in the army, all around the soldier, it is less astonishing that desertion was so formidably frequent than that it was not more frequent. ACTS OF VIOLENCE. RESISTANCE TO THE DRAFT, ETC. So far, the exhibition of the connection between the disloyal ele mcnt of the North and the rebellion has been confined to the state- ment of opinions and feelings adverse to the war, and favorable to the rebels. But disloyalty in very many portions of the State took the more decided, though by no means more dangerous, form of violence, or combinations to commit violence, in resistance of the draft, in protection of deserters, in terrifying, maltreating, or expell- incr from their homes citizens whose adhesion to the Government made them obnoxious, and in producing a general feeling of uneasi- ness and danger, under which the State was in a condition of con- stant turbulence, and a domestic war, more or less wide-spread, was anticipated. In many cases, no doubt, the disturbances were the A REIGN OF TERROR. 279 result of individual enmities, or accidental collisions, but in every case the parties were divided by the line of political differences, and the antagonism aggravated and made active by them. In many more cases polilical feeling, excited by disloyal newspapers and orators, and emissaries of rebel organizations, was the sole cause of outrages that made many portions of the State unsafe for the resi- dence of any man known to support the Government, and of defi- ance of the laws that hardly stopped short of open insurrection. In Sullivan, Knox, Martin, Orange, Greene, Washington, Daviess. Brown, Jackson, Crawford, Rush, Bartholomew, Fountain, War- ren, Johnson, Putnam, Blackford, in fact in nearly every county in the State, in the townships or neighborhoods where the disloyal element predominated, the condition of the community was for a time only less unsettled and fearful than a condition of actual war. Union men, uniformly called "abolitionists," were notified to leave the county, under penalty of death, or beating, or loss of property. Many of them were frightened or forced to obey, and left their homes, some for a few weeks, some never to return. Their barns were burned, their houses plundered, their stock stolen, they them- selves were robbed. Their enemies were armed and met frequently, sometimes openly sometimes secretly, to drill and to concert out- rages upon their defenseless loyal neighbors. Resistance was gen- erally useless, and rarely attempted. A resort to the laws was worse than idle, for often neither judge nor jury would enforce the laws in defense of "abolitionists." The Governor was appealed to. Petitions for protection poured in from nearly all parts of the State, but cliiefly from the western and southern sections. What help could be given was given, but the repression operated no fur- ther than the troops could reach. Outrages were still committed in other quarters with impunity. Deserters banded together to plunder loyal men. In some places they established defenses and prepared, with the help of the citizens, to defy the Government. Companies of citizens fired on the guards sent to arrest deserters. In several places they beat off the guard and rescued captured de- serters. Enrolling officers for the draft were warned, threatened, and murdered. Their houses were mobbed and robbed. They could execute their duty nowhere in these disloyal counties but at the peril of their lives. Resistance to the draft was openly pro- claimed, and made a party watch-word. Schemes to overthrow the State government, and the arming and drilling] of hundreds of 280 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. affiliated organizations tliroughout the State for this purpose, deep- ened the peril and excitement of the time. The Governors life was repeatedly threatened. Once he was tired at, as he was leav- ing the State House at night, and narrowly escaped. The ball grazed his head. Anonymous letters were sent to him by scores, threatening him with assassination if he persisted in his efforts to carry on the war. Conspiracies were formed to concoct plots that would result in his political ruin, and most foul and villainous stories were invented for the purpose of breaking down his moral character and disgracing him before the world. No crime seemed too black for the furtherance of disloyal objects. There is no doubt that this disturbed and dangerous condition of many com- munities, indeed, of the entire State, was produced to a very great extent by the eflbrts of the infamous order of "Sons of Liberty." With an organization so thoroughly treasonable, so expressly con- structed to assist the rebellion, so compact, and penetrating so com- pletely into every part of the State, animating disloyal feeling into violence and combining all violence to its own ends, the labor of preserving the peace was a very serious one, and greatly increased the oppressiveness of the labor of keeping our ranks recruited, the demands of the Government satisfied, the necessities of our sick and wounded soldiers supplied, and the civil administration of the State, so grievously crippled by the action of the Legislature, moving steadily and successfully on. That all were done, and well done, is one of Governor Morton's titles to that place in the his- tory of the war which contemporary admiration has already as- signed him. It would be impossible, here, to give an account of all the dis- turbances and outrages which marked this period of the war. But a few will serve to give an idea of the condition of things which prevailed in many of the counties of the State. Among the riots, which at the time created unusual and general excitement, was that in Brown county, in which Mr. Lewis Pros- SER, a few years before a Representative in the Legislature, a leader of the "Sons of Liberty" in the county, and prominent for his sympathy with the rebellion, at a political meeting, on the 18th of April, 1863, killed a soldier, and was himself mortally wounded by Captain Cunning, an officer of volunteers. A commission, consist- ing of Hon. LuciKN Barbour, Judge Samuel E. Perkins, and Cap- tain JouN H. Farquhar, was appointed by the Governor to inves- BROWN COUNTY IN TURMOIL. 281 tigate the affair, and their report of the evidence leaves it quite clear that the first collision was not Caused by any purely or ordi- nary political difference or dispute. It belongs to the object of this report only as exhibiting the bitterness of feeling and the disorder- ed condition of the comrnunity, produced by the conduct of disloyal citizens, which could so easily force a trivial dispute into a bloody and fatal fight. Other facts exhibit the same condition even more clearly. Some of the witnesses before the Commission testified that their neighbors had been driven from home by the threats and violence of the friends of the rebellion. One of them, William Gould, says: "It was the talk that they were going to kill the' Republicans and Abolitionists. I heard a man, living south of Nasiiville, (the county seat,) say he was going to Georgetown, and that when he got home, there were two Abolitionists there who would have to leave. His name is William M. Elkixs. Mrs. Bruner, whose husband is in the army, Widow Fleener, John Winkler and family, and the family of David Jackson, left their homes in consequence of the threats made." "An unoccupied house in Bean Blossom, (the scene of the riot,) belonging to a Union man, was burned." Some weeks after the riot, the outrages of the disloyal faction became so frequent and intolerable that a petition, signed by one hundred and twenty-five loyal citizens of the county, was sent to the Governor praying that a "small military force be sent" for their protection. The petition states that "but a few nights ago, (about the last of July,) houses were fired into, and one was burned to the ground. The lives of all Union men were threatened.' *** "A few days ago, a discharged soldier, while plowing in his field, was shot and badly wounded." Mr. Gould testifies that a day or two after the riot, in April, he saw a band of fifty men drilling in Nashville, all fully armed. The next day, a com- pany of forty armed men, from Jackson and Bartholomew coun- ties, passed through in the direction of Georgetown. They were joined by an equal number from Nashville. Their purpose was to protect Prosser (who was not at that time supposed to be fatally injured) from arrest and removal from the county. Such a condi- tion of things as that depicted in these statements is hardly better than one of open war, and in this case, as in every other, seems to have been wantonly produced by disloyal men in the gratification of their dislike of those who sustained the war and the Govern- ment. The pretext occasionally given for assembling under arms^ 282 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. that they desired to protect themselves ngainst arbitrary arrests, was furile to excuse such action, and could have no application to the abuse and expulsion of loyal citizens from their houK s. In Noble county, information was given to the Governor, Feb- ruary 3d, 1863, tliat the ''Knights of the Golden Circle," more gen- erally known afterwards as the "Sons of Liberty,'' were fullv "or- ganized and armed, and talked freely of the prospect of a war here at home in case the Southern Confederacy is not recognized, and 'Old Abe' persists in his emancipation scheme. They publicly and boldly declare that no deserter shall be arrested here ; that the Abo- litionists are to be exterminated, and that the Northwestern States are to form a government by themselves." As early as May I81I1, 1861, but a month after the attack on Fort Sumter, the disloyal citizens of Wayne county had excited the serious suspicions of the community, and fears were entertained of their procuring arms from the State, under a false pretense of doing militia duty, which would, at the proper time, be used for their real purpose, in aid of the rebellion. The Governor was warned, and subsequent parade of disloyal strength showed that the danger was both greater and nearer than would have been sus- pected by any but those thoroughly informed of the feelings of the faction. In 1863, about one hundred of them, members of the "Sons of Liberty," of Abington township, Wayne county, marched fully armed into the town of Cambridge City, and took possession of it. Their first object was to defeat the draft. General Hascall, then in command of the State, arrested several of them. So bold and lawless a demonstration indicated the con- sciousness of great strength, and recklessness enough to use it. On October 8d, 1862, Governor Morton received a notification from Fountain county, that "in Jackson and Cain townships, the draft will be resisted. The leaders are desperate men, and they say the streets shall be drenched in blood before a man shall go from the township. It is the headquarters of the Knights of the Golden Circle." Another warning, from the same county, says "there is a secret organization, embracing parts of Fountain, Parke and Montgomery counties, for the purpose of resisting the draft. It can muster one thousand men. They are well armed with small arms and squirrel rifles, and have one small cannon. The Union men are much excited, and are insuring their houses and barns for fear of incendiarism." An affidavit accompanied THE RIOT AT WILLIAMSPORT. 283 these letters, setting forth the language of one of the local leaders of the hostile movement. He asked the crowd if they would "stand such a thing," (the draft). Cries of "no," "never," re- sponded. He then said: "Rather than stand this, or see my countrymen stand it, I would see every spear of grass in Jackson township drip with blood." Such language from leaders and newspapers very often fanned a simple spark of dissatisfaction into a violent flame of disaffection, and produced that hostility to loyal men, which so long and so painfully disturbed the peace of the State. In August, 1864, Washington county, notoriously a center of disloyal feeling, was in so turbulent a condition that the friends of the Government were in constant dread of an insurrection. One of them writes: " Many Union people are very uneasy, and some very much alarmed. We have no means of self-protection. The Sons of Liberty are all armed, and they are so numerous that the Union people would like to know if the Government is taking any steps to prevent the unarmed in this quarter from being overpowered." Early in June, 1863, about twenty-five soldiers of the Thirty- Third Regiment were in the town of Williamsport, Warren county, on furlough, l^hey attended a ball at a hotel in the place, during which a quarrel arose between the landlord and the officer in command. The hotel bell was rung as a signal, and imme- diately a crowd of twenty-five to fifty, who had been waiting, ap- rently for some such difficulty, in the outskirts of the town, rushed in and attacked such of the soldiers as were outside of the hotel. One of the soldiers was shot in the shoulder, and several other shots were fired, but without further injury. The aflair was of no great consequence, but it showed the disturbed condition of the place, and the eagerness of the disloyal faction for a collision with soldiers. In December, 1863, notice was sent to the Executive office, of preparations to resist the draft in counties along the Ohio River. The scheme was, for the men who were drafted, to use the arms given them, where they had a fair chance, against the forces of the government. No attempt of this kind was made, chiefly, no doubt, for the reason that the quotas of our State, and of the greater part of the Northwest, were so largely filled by volunteers that the drafted men were too few to make a hostile demonstration, even if they had been so inclined. 284 AUJCTANT general's keport. In August, 1864, full information was given Governor Morton of the purchase of arms in Gratitlvievv, Spencer county, for distri- bution among the Sons of Liberty, and similar warnings were sent from all quarters of the State. Arms had been very exten- sively purchased at that time, and there were probably very few even of the most insignificant "lodges" of Sons of Liberty that did not possess a fair proportion of arms. Rebel money was lib- erally furnished for this purpose, as was afterwards declared on oath by one of the chief men of the Order. Sullivan and Knox counties were among the most intolerably infested districts of the State. From the very commencement of the Rebellion, the dis- loyal feeling there had been forward and zealous in displaying itself and annoying its opponents. When in 1862 a car was placed on a side track at the town of Sullivan, close enough to strike a pass- ing train in which Governor Morton was going to the Ohio river to look after wounded soldiers, by which Professor Miles J. Fletcher, Superintendent of Public Instruction, was instantly killed, so notorious was the hostility of the people of the county to the war and the government, that suspicions were instantly and universally formed that the collision was no accident. An investi- gation before a Grand Jury composed of rebel sympathizers, and prosecuted by an attorney of the same kind, discovered no evidence of guilt anywhere, but the suspicion remains, and will remain as long as the untimely and lamentable death of Professor Fletcher is remembered. In Sullivan the few loyal citizens who dared to avow their ad- hesion to the government were persecuted with a vindictiveness to which no parallel can be found elsewhere in the North. Their barns and harvests were burned, and notices fastened to their gate- posts of the purpose to burn their houses next time. The follow- ing is a literal copy of one of these notices: "September the 1st, 1865, now point out citizens to be arrested, and the next time you will fill a traitors grave. I have burned two damd abolitionest and if John Fox is not releast in ten days from date and restored to his family 1 will burn out to more this arresting of civil cittizens must and shall be stopped." A letter to the commandant of the District dated the day after this notice, shows how faithfully its daring threats were fulfilled. It says: " Wm. Oshorn's wheat stacks and hay have been burned — about five hundred bushels of wheat. Notices left of further intentions. On the same night, OUTRAGES IN SULLIVAN. 285 Charles McDonald's barn was burnt, and notices left, on the gate post." Mr. McDonald himself writes that on the night of the 1st of September, about eleven o'clock, he was alarmed from his sleep by a large fire blazing from his frame stable and two large hay stacks. All were utterly destroyed. During the latter part of the summer of 1864, outrages, robberies, and incendiary fires, were of constant occurrence. John Miller of Cass township, was visited by a large body of men, who attacked him, and, after a severe re- sistance, overpowered and robbed him of $300 in money and a gun. John Price of Hamilton township, was also visited at his house in the night by a band of rebel sympathizers, and robbed of $500 in money. Dr. William Cobb, of Jasonsville, Greene county, was similarly visited and robbed of a small sum of money. Greenbury Price, a merchant of the same place, was called to his store in the night by a similar gang of disloyalists, and robbed of $300 to $400. Mrs. Barney Sausermann, whose husband was in the army, was likewise visited and robbed by the same class of patriots. She re- sided in Cass township, Sullivan county. The same men broke into and robbed the railroad depot in the town of Sullivan. The pay train on the Evansville and Craw fords ville Railroad was thrown from the track and robbed in full daylight, near the town of Sulli- van. Marion Miller of Cass township, was twice stopped on th(; public highway within three miles of ihe county seat, and robbed of small sums of money. Nelson Sisson, of Jackson township, was robbed of $150 and upwards. William Osbokn's wheat and hay w^ere burned (as already noticed,) loss $2,000. John McKees, of Hamilton towniship, had his barn and stables burned, with a num- ber of horses and a bull, wagons, a carriage and his farming imple- ments in them ; loss about 83,000. John Miller, of Cass town- ship, had his house burned, and his barn set on fire*; the latter was saved. Green C. Gardner, of Hamilton township, had his stable burned. A Methodist church in Jefierson township was burned. These are not a record, but a sample, of the outrages that were practised upon loyal men, solely because they were loyal, in the county of Sullivan and vicinity, in a few weeks of the sumn)er of 1864. A number of the ardent opponents of the Government, engaged in them were arrested. Some twenty -two w^ere indicted, but none were ever brought to trial. Most of them broke jail, with very little difficulty, and all escaped in some way or other, as it was quite cer- tain from the beginning they would do. Most of the Union men 286 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. throughout the infected regions were notified to leave the country, under penalty of severe punishment. Many did leave, and some never returned. In Knox county, a deserter from the Twenty-Third Regiment by the name of James Willis, assisted by two brothers, Gkorge and Adam Robinson, and by several of the disloyal citizens of the neighborhood, established their headquarters in Widner township, at a house where he was harbored, procured a quantity of am- munition and several pistols and other arms, called his refuge " Fort Robinson," and prepared deliberately to defy the law and resist any force sent to arrest him, or suppress the hostile operations of the band. Captain McCormick, of the Sullivan county Legion, with fourteen men, was sent to arrest him. He was found con- cealed in a stable, refused to surrender when commanded, and fired upon the guard, wounding a young man named Kiwbkrlain) severely. The outlaw. was then shot and mortally wounded. The RoBiNsoxs were arrested. The Sons of Liberty were in great force in that vicinity, as they were in so many other portions of that sec- tion of the State, and loyal men fared little better than in Sullivan county. The following extracts from the General Orders of two of the Commandants of the State will show how disturbed and perilous was the condition of the country at that time. On the lith of April, 1863, General Carrington's order said : " In some portions of the State citizens have been warned to leave their homes, under penalty of severe handling and the burning of their buildings. The legitimate result, already predicted, of the habit of wearing con- cealed weapons, has been demonstrated in the loss of several lives and no little property. Let no citizen, under any threat, desert his home or sacrifice his property. Let him remain at all hazards." On the 6th of October, 1864, General Hovey, said in an address to the people of the State : " Recent developments clearly show that a secret armed association exists in this State, formed for the pur- pose of aiding the rebellion against the United States. The primary object of this dangerous association is to break down the power of the present administration in the prosecution of the war, and aid the rebellion by force, fraud and violence. For this pur- pose, large numbers of rebels from the armies of the South, under the name and guise of Refugees, have been sent to this State to co-operate with this treasonable association. Arms and ammuni- DISLOYALTY RAMPANT. 287 tion, to a large amount, have been secretly imported and placed in the hand.s of these bad men, and, unless their designs are speedily checked, rtiin and the desolation that follows in the footsteps of war will soon spread throughout the State. In the counties of Martin, Orange, Crawford, Mar.shall, and other localities they have concentrated by hundreds, defied the laws, fired upon and killed enrolling officers and wounded law-abiding citizens, and robbed them of their property, with the avowed determination of aiding the rebellion. This cannot continue without civil war in our midst." Outbreaks, in resistance of the laws, were frequent and some- times fatal. On the 10th of January, 1863, a detachment of cav- alry sent to arrest some deserters near Waverly, in Johnson county, was fired upon by a company of disloyal citizens and Sons of Liberty. On the 1st of June, 1863, several deserters were forcibly rescued from their guard, in Noble township. Jay county. At the first draft in October, 1862, in Blackford county, the com- missioner's box was seized, dashed upon the floor and trampled to pieces, to the delight of the disloyal citizens who crowded the room and witnessed and encouraged the outrage. June 12ti], 1863, the enrollment for the draft in Johnson county was resisted by armed men. June 15th, 1863, fifty armed men attacked the residence of James Sill, the enrolling officer of Marion township, Putnam county, and demanded the enrollment papers. When refused, they fired into the house about sixty times, and retired without the papers. At the same time, the enrollment books and papers were destroyed in Jefferson township, of the same county. During the same week, the books of Cloverdale township, same county, were stolen. June 15rh, 1863, the enroUino officer of Whitestown, Boone county, was resisted by a company of rioters, aud threatened with violence if he persisted in doing his duty. June 18th, Fletcher Freeman, the enrolling officer of Cass township, Sullivan county, was shot by concealed assassins and in- stantly killed while engaged in the performance of his duty. This cruel and cowardly murder was well understood in the vicinity to have been committed by the Sons ot Liberty. June 11th, the enrolling officer of Waterloo township, Fayette county, was shot at while in the discharge of his duty. June 10th, Hon. J. Frank Stevens, late a Senator from 288 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. Decatur county, while acting as assistant enrolling officer, was shot and killed near Manilla, while engJiged in completing the enroll- meiir of Walker township. Rush county. A man named Ckayckaft, the enrolling officer, who was with him, was severely wounded at the same time. A short time before this tragical oc- currence a disloyal paper published in Rushville had warned all draft officers "to insure their lives," and indulged in such appeals and denunciations as were well calculated, probably intended, to produce such consequences. About the 20th of June, resistance was made to the enrollment of Indian Creek town^hip, Monroe county, and the papers were destroyed. At about the same time the draft officers of Daviess county were warned not to enroll it. On the 3d of October, 1864, Captain Eli McCarty, while serving notices on drafted men in that county, was murdered by Sons of Liberty concealed in the woods through which he had to pass. His body was thrown ihto the river and not discovered for several days. In the early part of the summer of 1863, these outrages had had become so frequent, and the disorder of the communities in which they were perpetrated so great and so rapidly extending, that the authorities were forced to take steps to check them. On the 11th day of June, Governor Morton issued a proclamation* setting forth the law in regard to obstructions of the draft and the penalties incurred by those who took part in them. He also alluded to the systematic attempts then being made by the " Knights of the Golden Circle," and their friends, to bring the Governinent into contempt and excite hostility to it by denunciations of its measures. His admonitions were timely, calm, and not without eflect. He said : " The right of the people peaceably to assemble and petition for a redress of grievances and speak and publish their opinions touching the policy of the Government, or the con- duct of the war, must be respected and the enjoyment of it pro- tected. But there is a wide difference between the legitimate exer- cise of this right and the unbridled license of speech which seeks by the assertion of the most atrocious falsehoods to exasperate the people to madness and drive them into a position of neutrality between their Government and the rebels, if not into the very arms of the rebellion, combine them into dangerous societies, provoke "^Appendix, Uoc. No. 132. HARRASSING LAW SUITS. 289 them to resist the laws, and thus contribute direcily to weaken our own Government, and strengthen the cause of the enemy. The criticism of one who is friendly to the Government, and' who is anxious that it shall succeed and be preserved, and who points out its errors in order that they may be corrected, is wholly difieient from that denunciation which seeks to bring the Government into contempt and render it odious to the people, thereby withdrawing from it that natural support so necessary to its life, when strug"- gling with a powerful enemy." Some of the men suspected of being concerned in the murders, and known to be participants and planners of the outrages, in Sul- livan county, were arrested .by order of the military commandant of this State and District. Andrew Humphreys, of Greene county, v/as arrested and tried (as will be mor;.' fully related hereafter) for treason and exciting resistance to the laws of the United States The successful termination of the war made the Government in- different not only to the danger these men, and the order they be- longed to, had threatened, but to Ijie mischief they had done or in- cited, and they were allowed to resume their forfeited rights without interference. The first use made of them w^as to bring suit earlv in 1866, in the Sullivan Circuit Court, against Captain McCoemick and his men, who executed the order of arrest, for dama'^es for false imprisonment. The suit w^as, of course, entirely groundless. Both Judge and jury knew that no suit could be rightfully brought against a subordinate officer for obeying the command of his supe- rior. An act of Congress had made express provision for such eases; and, to prevent the wrong that might be done to an officer or soldier for the sim))le discharge of his duty, by the political prejudices and exasperations of disloyal neighborhoods, had pro- vided for the transfer of all suits on such subjects to the United States Court. The law was clear and peremptory, the utter base- lessness of the suits obvious. The defendants filed a petition for the removal of their cases to the United States Court. The Judge, whose rebel sympathies were never concealed even on the bench, refused it in plain defiance of the law. The eases were tried before a jury. Humphreys was awarded twenty-five thousand dollars' damages. Another man obtained five hundred dollars' damages. These cases serve to illustrate forcibly the lawless character of the feeling wdiich predominated in these disloyal neighborhoods. Even more clearly than personal Vol. 1.— 20. 290 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. outrages do such deliberate violations of oaths and laws, on the part of court and jury, demonstrate how firmly fixed such a com- munity must have been in its sympathy with tiie rebellion. What was done in Sullivan would doubt less have been done in many other counties in the State ,had not the Lpgi:?Iature passed an act for tiie protection of soldiers in such cases. Disseminate into hun- dreds of townships the spirit that, in defiant disregard of law, fast- ened ruinous damages upon a soldier for doing his duty; poi.son every community more or less deeply with it; see it bursting out in fires, robberies, expulsion of loyal men from their homes, in tnur- ders of Government officers, destroying their papers, in rescuing or protecting deserters, and one can form some idea of this class of the difficulties which the disloyal element threw in the way of the prosecution of the war. In October 1864, Brigadier General Henry Jordan, of the " Le- gion," discovered an extensive and dangerous conspiracy in Craw- ford and Orange counties. In his official report be says : "I regard tlie late troubles in Cr£.«wfbrd and Orange counties as a miserable fail- ure of an extensive conspiracy. I base this opinion upon tlie following facts: Ist Information, of a reliable cbaracter, i-eceivcd more than four weeks ago, that the guerrillas in Kentucky were disbanding and coming, one at a time, to the Indiana side. 2d. Positive evidence that a large number of guerrillas have actually been among us for several T7ecks. 3d. Information from an officer of the 'Sons of Lib- erty,' who did not wish to involve his family and property in civil war, that it had been determined by that organization to resist the draft, and that five hundred guer- rillas from Kentucky — many of whom were already amongst us — were to co-operate. 4th. Confessions of the prisoners, who state that the uprising was to be general, and that they expected to receive heavy reinforcements from other counties. " From the testimony taken by my staff-officers, during and since the difficulties. I am led to the bchef that not more than three hundred persons were engaged in actual hostilities. The rioters were divided into sm-dl bands, the largest that I could hear of numbering seventj-five men. The ring-leaders were guerrillas from Kentucky, whose object was plunder. They seemed to care but little about the draft, and only used it to obtain assistance in their nefarious scheme. When the movement failed they escaped, carrying off, as the prisoners say, the entire pro- ceeds of the robberies, and leaving their dupes to suffer for their crimes. Some escaped to Kentucky, and others to the disloyal porlions of the State. I think that at least fifty persons were robbed by these men. Most of the stolen horses were recovered. The number of prisoners taken by my forces v/as about forty. Some of these, against whom I could find no testimony, I released. I delivered seven conscripts, who had been engaged in the affair, to Colonel Merriwether, Provost Marshal of this District. I sent ninety-one citizens, who had participated in it, to Major General Hovey, as directed by you. " The evidence against most of them is very strong, many of them having con- fessed that they participated in the robberies and resistance to the draft. 1 arrested CRAWFORD AND ORANGE CONSPIRACY. 291 several persons for the crime of persuading their ignorant neighbors into re- sistance to law, while they themselves took no active part in the trouble they had created. " I proposed to deliver a portion of the prisoners to the civil authorities for trial, but the leading citizens of Leavenworth, without regard to party, fearing that an effort might be made to relieve them, petitioned me, in writing, to send tliem to same military post for confinement. The people living near the scene of this dis- turbance, being apprehensive of further violent proceedings, I stationed Captain Aydelotte's company (L, Sixth Eegiment,) at Hartford, with orders to remain there until quiet was restored. I will communicate, in a formal report, the opera- tions of the forces under my command during this disturbance. " 1 am satisfied that the prompt action of the militia force had the effect to deter many persons from participating in this disturbance, and that if a large force had not promptly confronted the robbers, the affair would have assumed a more alarm- ing aspect. The credit of assembling our forces is mainly due to my subordinate officei-s, who, in many cases, had mustered their commands and gone in pursuit be- fore my orders reached them. There were no casuakies. One or two of my men had their clothes pierced by balls fired at them." General Jordan also furnished, for the use of the authorities, specimens of the testimony and confessions of a number of citi- zens who were engaged in the conspiracy, as follows : " The prisoners were brought into a room, one at a time, and questioned by Gen- eral Jordan and Colonel Woodbury. They were not sworn, and all their con- fessions were voluntary. Each prisoner was assured that he would not be com- pelled to disclose anything against his own will. The examination was public. Such citizens as wished to enter the room were admitted, and allowed to listen to the questions and answers. " Junius Lomax lives in Greenfield township. Orange county; states that he is a drafted man, that he went to Williamsburg, in Orange county, where he heard that the drafted men were going to resist the draft. George Coffman, of Floyd county, made a speech, and advised the drafted men to resist. At another meeting, held south of Williamsburg, Saturday evening, October 1st, John All- 8TOTT, of Crawfojd county, advised us to resist. The guns taken from the Guards were taken through spite. I took a gun from Valentine Cook, of the Valeen Home Guards. I was along when Patterson Apple was arrested and robbed of his pistol. A good many of the drafted men were present at these meetings. A number of strangers were also present. I understood that some of them were from Kentucky. A man named Lynch, from Harrison county, was present. John W. Stone had been through there, advising the men to resist the draft. JacobC ook took the lead in disarminnf Valentine Cook. Heimener Seibolt took the lead in taking the pistol from Patterson Apple. " William Sanders resides in Sterling township, Crawford county. I saw that something was going to be done. My son James was along with the crowd^ and I wanted to get him away from them. I overtook some of them near Bel- cher's. Before we got to E. H. Golden's there were at least thirty men present. There were seven men present that I can swear to, namely : Union McMickle, Bob Allen, John Allstott, James Sanders, Thomas Heighfield, John 292 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. McKabe. Ben. Brown and Benton Newkirk. They told rue fhey were going to press Golden's money and horses. Don't know what tlioy got, as I took no hand in the robbery. I saw Goi.den's wife, but did not tell her that I had nothing to do with it. I did not see the Goldens. They pressed a horse and a jjistol in another place. Allstott told nie that if I ever told it my life was at stake. Just as I was in the act of starting home 1 heard them say that they knew of several rich hauls. I was at the Post office in Brownstown on Thursday. There was a good deal of talk about seizing the gun« of the Home Guards. I heard Ben. Brown and Benton Xewkirk hurrah for Jeff. Davis. The ei-owtrnclure of the Order, It can serve no purpose at this duy to describe the ceremonies, pass-words, and s^ign^, for they were easily and frequently changed. It only remains to glance at its declara- tion of principles and its objects. Its Principles and Purposes. — In the ritual was a declaration of principles. In its acts were many declarations of purposes. The first is hardly so material to such a record as this report as the other, but it is not without interest. The following is one of the most prominent: "In the Divitie economy no individual of the human race must be peririittied to encumber the earth, to mar its aspects of transcendent beauty, nor to impede the progress of the physical or intellectual man, neither in himself nor in the race to which he belongs. Hence a people upon whatever plane they may be found in the ascending scale of humanity, whom neither the divinity with- in them, nor the inspirations of divine and beautiful nature around them, can impel to virtuous action and progress onward and up- ward, should be subjected to a just and humane servitude and tutelage to the superior race until they shall be able to appreciate the benefits and advantages of civilization." This farrago of non- sense translated into plain language says, that if one race be deemed by another unfit for progress, the latter should make slaves of the other, until they can learn to "progress onward and upward." Another declaration avers that the Union of the States is only voluntary and temporary, and may be annulled at any time by any State, so far as its own connection with the Union is concerned; also that the General Government has no right or power to enforce its laws upon any Slate that rejects them. The rebellion is recogni/ed as legitimate and just. The General Government is declared a usurpation, and "whenever the chosen officers or delegates (President or Congress) shall fail or refuse to administer the Government in strict accordance with the letter of the accepted Constitution, it is the inherent right, and the solemn, im- perative duty of the people to resist the functionaries, and, if need be, expel them by force of arms. Such resistance is not revolution, but is solely the assertion of right." Again it is said: "It is incon)patible with the nature and history of our system of government that the Federal authority should coerce by arms a sovereign State." SPECIFIC OBJECTS OF THE ORDER. 305 o It avows its purpose to be, to put a stop to the war and make a treaty with the rebels for a Union based upon degrees of civiliza- tion and differences of race. The theory of the rebellion is ac- cepted in all its parts and consequences, as the true theory of gov- ernment, and recognized as the bond of the Order. These principles, which are simply a creed of unlimited slavery and absolute right of secession, each member solemnly made oath he would support at all times, and everywhere, with his sword and his life. The i'ollowing is the material part of the oath of the high- est degree: " I do further swear that I will, at all times and in all places, yield prompt and implicit obedience, to the utmost of my ability, without remonstrance, hesitation or delay, to any and every mandate, order or request of my immediate Most Excellent Grand Commander, in all things touching the purposes of the Order of the Sons of Liberty, and defend the principles thereof, when assailed in my own State or country, in whatsoever capacity may be as- signed to me by authority of our Order." In the " O. A. K,," be- fore the change, the language of the oath was : " I will defend these principles with my sword and my life in whatsoever capacity," etc., etc. This oath will be found on page 308 of the Appendix to the Report of the " Indiana Treason Cases." Three or four oaths arc contained in the ritual. The penalty of a violation is declared in that just quoted to be a " shameful death." This is the language : •' All this I do solemnly promise and swear sacredly to observe, per- form and keep, with a full knowledge and understanding, and with my full assent, that the penalty which will follow a violation of any or either of these, my solemn vows, will be a shameful deathP The ritual betrays a sad lack of common sense and literary taste in the Order. Such a production as the declaration of principles, or the neophyte oath, would obtain for a pupil in any respectable school a sound lecture or threshing. The inflated style, and silly assump- tion of a philosophical mode of statement, clearly entitle the author and the Order to a long servitude of the kind so pompously recom- mended by it for inferior intellects and natures incapable of •' progress." Besides its principles, the Order had several specific objects in view. One of these was the encouragement of desertion. The members and all whom they could influence, as heretofore stated, wrote letters to their relatives in the army urging them to desert and assuring them of organizations and means to protect them- Vol. 1.— 21. 30f) ADJUTANT general's REPORT. Emissaries were sent into the army, frequently as soldiers, to dis- seminate the Order and creale lodges there. Men who had enlisted, and through the machinations of the Order had become dissatisfied^ and deserters who had been arrested, were furnished legal counsel to devise means to escape from the service. Disloyal judges, of whom there was no lack, readily lent themselves to these efforts, and issued writs of habeas corpus, with an eye single to the purpose of depriving the Government of one more soldier. The effect of these efforts has already been stated in its proper place. Deserters thronged home, leaving the true and devoted soldier to do double duty, and encounter double danger, on account of their cowardice. Their friends in the Order protected them and beat off the guards, or made so strong a show of resistance that arrests in many cases could not be successfully attempted. In one month Iwenty-six hundred desertions were reported to the Adjutant General of the State at Indianapolis. The army was weakened and the Order was in a high state of glory. Another purpose was to prevent enlistments and to resist draft- ing. The facts already related touching this point make it unnec- essary to say more about it here. The Order was the murderer of Frreman, Stevens and McCarty, as well as the attempted assassin of Governor Morton. The distribution of disloyal documents was another duty of the Order, as was the communication of information in regard to our forces to the rebels. The interchange of intelligence between the allies was constant. The Government, as already noticed in an- other place, frequently obtained information of the actual or con- templated movements of the rebels, from detectives in the Order several days, sometimes weeks, before it could have learned it in the ordinary way. It was also one of the purposes to furnish arms ammunition, clothes, medicines and other stores, to the rebels. The agents employed were often ladies of good repute. Sometimes they were men who had made themselves conspicuous by fierce and false professions of loyalty. Aid was also given by burijing Government vessels and stores. Dr. Bowles stated, as proved on the trial, that the two steamers \vhicli had sometime before been burned at the wharf at Louisville, were burned with a chemical composition, absurdly called " Greek Fire," by members of the Order. The Mississippi steamers upon which large sums of money intended for the payment of the army — in one case about two mil- THE TREASON TRIALS. 307 lions of dollars — were transported, were burned by members of the Order. Government stores were frequently burned in the same way, by the same men. Some of the leaders in this State applied themselves assiduously to the manufacture of the destructive com- pound which had been found so effective. Dr. Bowles, in.particu- lar, patronized it with constant and unchanging affection. It was generally regarded as a great acquisition. The prime object of the Order, however, was the separation of the Northwestern States from the Union, and their formation into a separate government, or into a part of the rebel Confederacy. The general uprising of the 16th of August, 1864, was intended to accomplish or further this object. This is declared repeatedly by the members who were examined in the Treason Trials. Aid to th'? rebellion, and the separation of the Northwest from the Union, were the ultimate purposes to which all the riots, resistance to drafts, protection of deserters, robberies of loyal men, and murders of officers, were subordinate. Though what are called the " secrets " of the Order, its oaths, signs and passwords, were all discovered as often as they were changed, no discovery of the schemes of the order was made public till the trial of Dodd and his associates. The revelations then made left nothing to be learned. As those trials, and the disclosures they elicited, form a prominent feature of the history of the disloyal movements in Indiana, it will not be improper to give them some attention at this point. The Treason Trials. — Harrison H. Dodd, Grand Commander of the Sons of Liberty in Indiana, entered zealously into the scheme for an insurrection on the 16th of August. Detectives kept the State and national authorities informed of his actions. He pur- chased a large quantity of arms and ammunition for the Order. The Governor was notified, and a search discovered a large num- ber of revolvers and cartridges, marked "Sunday-school books," con- cealed in his printing establishment, as before stated. This was enough to warrant his arrest in the quietest times the Nation ever knew. It was more than enough in a time of war, treason, and danger. General Hovey, by order of the President, arrested Dodd about the end of August or first of September, 1864, and confined him in the military prison in Indianapolis. In a few days he was, at his earnest request, and upon his solemn promise not to attempt to escape, removed to the United States Court building. Shortly 308 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. after his arrest, William A.* Bowles, Lambdin P. Milligan, An- drew Humph KEYS, Stephen Horsey, and Horace Heffren, were arrested and confined in the guard-house of the Soldiers' Home at Indianapolis, G(Mieral Hovey, then commandant of this District, on the 17th day of September, 1864, issued an order appointing a commission, consisting of Brevet Brigadier General Silas Col- grove, late Colonel of the Twenty-Seventh Indiana Volunteers ; Colonel William E. McLean, of the Forty-Third; Colonel John T. Wilder, of the Seventeenth; Colonel Thomas J. Lucas, of the Sixteenth; Colonel Charles D. Murray, of the Eighty-Ninth; Colonel Benjamin Spooner, of the Eighty-Third ; and Colonel Richard P. DeHa'rt, of the One Hundred and Twenty-Eighth, to try DoDD and his associates. Sabsequently, Colonel Ambrose A. Stevens, of the Veteran Reserve Corps, was added to the com- mission. On the 22d of September, the commission met and proceeded to the trial of Dodd. His counsel objected to the jurisdiction of the court, but the objection was overruled. The Judge- Advocate, Ma- jor H. L. Burnet, on the 27th presented five charges against him, viz: 1. Conspiracy against the Government of the United States. 2. Affording aid and comfort to rebels against the authority of the United States. 3. Inciting insurrection. 4. Disloyal practices. 5. violation of the laws of war. He pleaded "not guilty," and the examination of witnesses commenced at once. The most impor- tant facts elicited were the following: 1. The Support Given by the Order to the Rebellion.— Wf.si.f.y Tranter (page 47 Treason Trials) says : " Horsey said they were going to have a very important meeting. I attended. They taught us more of the signs of recognition used by the members, and and sivore us intdiv-rv. Davis's service, and we ivere to support him, North or South, at all hazards." William Clayton (page 46) said: "I considered that obliga- tion (the oath) bound us to assist the South, as they were trying to free themselves and form a government of their own choice." In answer to the question, "Do you still hold that this obligation is binding upon you? " he replied, "I have taken it on myself, and I consider that it is." "You are sworn to help the South, are you? " "That is the way I read the obligation." On the same page, to the question, "It was against the Government and army of the United States that you were organized to wage war?" he replied, " IFe MURDER OF GOVERNOR MORTON PLANNED. 309 were to wage loar upon them, of course, if they took up arms against the South." On the same page, he said the Order "was willing to shake hands with rebel invaders, and consider them friends;" that "this was the senliment in the section where he lived." "In that section the success of the South was considered a less evil than the oppression of the Administration," and that "the same feeling was still maintained in the LodgesJ' 2. The general insurrection. Tranter (page 48), says : " The arms were to be used to assist the rebels. They (the members) ex- pressed their intention to resist the United States government, and support the South. Stone said in his speech, that they were to take Indianapolis; the members of the Order in Illinois, to take Springfield; while those in Missouri were to take St. Louis. Bragg was to do all he could in Tennessee ; Morgan was to advance his force into Kentucky ; Forrest was to cross the Ohio, into«Illinois. The In- dianians were to size Indianapolis and the Arsenal, and distribute the arms to those members of the Order who had none." Clay-* TON (on page 43) states, that "it was part of their general plan, to assist the rebels whenever they invaded these States, and if it has been given up, I do not know it." On page 32, Felix G. STmoER states, that Dr. Bowles developed the plan of insurrection, to hiin, in this way : " Illinois was pledged to forward 50,000 men, to con- centrate at St. Louis, and to co-operate with Missouri, which was pledged to furnish 30,000, and these combined forces, were to co- operate with Price, who was to invade Missouri with 20,000, and more if possible. These 100,000 men were to hold Missouri against any Federal forces, that could be sent against them. In- diana was to furnish from 40,000 to C0,000men, to co-operate with other forces that might come from Ohio, and all were to be thrown on Louisville, to co-operate with whatever force Jeff. Davis might send into Eastern Kentucky, under Buckner, or Brecklnridge, as Davis might deem best." 3. The Murder of Governor Morton. Trxater (page 48), says: " At that meeting Stone said. Governor Morton was to be put out of the way; that he had but a short time to live, after the visit to the Indianapolis arsenal." See Heffren's testimony, p. 312,313, of this volume. Thiswas another part of the plan for a general uprising, 4. Releasing and arming the rebel prisoners. This was part of the programme for August, but was not mentioned by Stidger as a part of that detailed by Dr. Bowles. It was related to Stidger 310 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. by DoDD : (see pages 23 and 24) " Dodd said, they had agreed to seize the camps of the rebel prisoners at Indianapolis, Camp Chase in Ohio, Camp Douglas at Chicago, and the Depot of prisoners on Johnson's Island. They were going to seize the arsenals in In- dianapolis, Springfield and Chicago. They were going to arm the prisoners with the arms thus seized ; raise all the members of the Order they could on the 15th or 16th of August, thatbeing the day fixed for the uprising. Each commander was to move all his men toward, and concentrate them at, Louisville. They were to get the co-operation of Colonel S expert and Colonel Jrsse of the rebel army, who were then in Kentucky. They (these rebel oilicers) were to seize Louisville, and hold it until their (the O. S. L.) forces could co-operate. At Chicago there was a difference of opinion, whether to wait until after they were sure of the co-operation of the rebel forces, or go ahead without them. Dodd sent Wm. M. Harrison (the Secretary of the Indiana branch of the Order) to see MiLLiGAN, Humphreys and Walker and get them to Indianapolis before that day. They did not come. Dodd read me letters vvhich he said were from them. They said they were to go ahead, at the time designated, to release and arm the prisoners and membi-rs of the Order, and Ci'entually unite in Louisville." 5. The deliberate determhiation to murder Park Coffin, a detective in the service of the government. Mr. Stidger (page 20), says : " I was sent to Dr. Bowles and Mr. Dodd by Judge Bullitt, in refe- rence to Mr. Coffin, who was living in thiscity (Indianapolis), and who was then employed as a detective officer by the Government. My instructions were that Coffin was to be put out of the way at all hazards. I understood he was to be murdered. I stated my instructions to Mr. Dodd. Coffin was acquainted with the secrets of the Order of the Sons of Liberty. I do not know of any other injury he had done to Dodd, Bullitt or Bowles."* At a meeting of the Grand Council on the 14th or 15th of June, 1864, "the case of Coffin was brought before the council and discussed at length. The discussion was about various things that Coffin had done as a detective, for the benefit of the United States Government ; and it was finally decided that he should be murdered. Mr. Dodd volunteered to go to Hamilton, Ohio, (where there was to be a meeting next day, at which Coffin was expected) and if Coffin was there to dispose of him." (See page 21.) 6. The destruction of Steamers and Government Stores by the FORTY-FIVE COUNTIES ORGANIZED. 311 Order. Stidger (page 22) says: "Dr. Bowles said, that those two boats that were destroyed at the wharf at Louisville, were burned by this Greek Fire, and had been done by the order of the Sons of Liberty." # Full disclosures were made of all the signs, grips, pass-words, and ceremonies of the Order, but they are not important now. On the night of the 6th of October, Dodd, with the help of friends outside, escaped from the window of his room by a rope, and made his way to Canada. The Judge Advocate at once rested the case. Arguments were made on both sides, and some months afterwards it was published that he was sentenced to death, and that the lind- ing and sentence had been approved. The commission which tried Dodd was, by a special order of Gen- eral HovEY, subsequently increased by the addition of Colonel Ansel D. VVass, of the Sixtieth Massachusetts Regiment, then stationed at Indianapolis; Colonel TnoMAS W. Bennett, of the Sixty-Ninth Indiana; Colonel Reuben Williams, of the Twelfth In- diana, and Colonel Albert Heath, of the One-Hundredth Indiana. Before the close of the trial, Colonel John T. Wilder, of the Seven- teenth Indiana, having resigned his command, was relieved from the commission. The charg(!S against Bowles, Milligan, Hum- phreys, Heffren and Horsey, were precisely the same as those against Dodd. The trial commenced on the 21st of October, 1864. Milligan objected to Colonel Wass, that " he was from a locality where there are extreme prejudices against Western men, and he was likely to be influenced by those prejudices." The court be- lieving, very justly, that the objection was based upon a false as- suujption, overruled it. Among men of Milligan's class, there was a bitter and senseless prejudice against the people of New England, which they naturally thought was reciprocated, but everybody with any knowledge of the feelings of that portion of our people knew that the hostility was all upon one side. The revelations made by the witnesses in this trial were, in the main, identical with those develoj)ed in the trial of Dodd. It will be necessary here to notice only a few additional points. William M. Harrison, Grand Secretary of the Order for Indi- ana, testified (see page 87) that otiiciai reports had been made of organizations in forty-live counties, but admitted that there might have been branch "temples" or lodges in other counties. He esti- mated that there were about 18,000 members of the first, second 312 ADJUTANT GENERALS REPORT. and third degrees in the State. The "vestibule members" he did not include in this estimate, as they were not considered members* of the organization. He also disclosed the fact that the arms seized in August were addressed to My. J. J. Parsons (a business partner of Dodd's), without that gentleman's knowledge, Joseph J. Bingham, editor of the Indiana State Sentinel, testi- fied to the revelation to him by Dodd of the scheme for a general insurrection and release of the rebel prisoners on the 16tli of Au- gust, and to the steps taken by leading men of his party to pre- vent it. He also disclosed the fact that two or three rebel officers were in the city at that time, on their way to Chicago, to take command of the rebel prisoners when they should be released and armed. (See page 103.) When the representations of friends had induced Dodd and Walker to defer their project. Walker said he must see the officers to notify them of the change tliat had been determined upon. Horace Heffren, Deputy Grand Commander, who was made a witness by Judge Advocate Biknett, on the 4th of November, and released from arrest and discharged, testified that Dr. Bowles was the chief officer of the Order in Indiana. Dodd, he said, was the Grand Commander, which was a civil office, but that Bowles was the military head of the Order. (Stje page 123.) He also stated that he had been shown a roll of bills amounting to 81,000 by Dr. James B. Wilson, Adjutant on Bowles' staff, which had been obtained from Bowles to purchase arms and ammunition for Washington county, and that he w-as informed by the same man that $^00,000 had been sent to Indiana, Illinois and KentucUy, by rebel agents in Canada, to buy arms and ammuni- tion for the Order in those States. Of this sum 8200,000 had been received by Dodd and Walker for Indiana. Each jtook 8100,000. A portion w^as to be used by Bowles to arm the Order in his part of the State. (See page 126.) Mr. Heffren also testified to the insurrection scheme and the release of" the rebel prisoners, and added two important features : 1st. That "Governor Morton was to be taken care of," or as he ex- plained it, ■" held as a hostage for the safety of those of the insur- rectionists who might be takcm prisoners." Dr. James S. Athon, a tnember of the Order, and then Secretary of the State, was to become Governor, under the "law and the Constitution," as Hef- REN understood. The militia (which would be composed of the CONSPIRATOKS FOUND GUILTY. 31 o armed members of the Order, of course) would be called out, and, as Mr. Heffren said, " we should have everything our own way." (See page 127.) The Military Board Bill was intended to accom- plish this result under the forms of law, and its defeat, doubtless, exerted no little influence in determining the adoption of the scheme of revolutionary violence which Mr. Heffren exposed. He also stated that he had been informed by Wilson, Bowles' Adjutant, that steps had been taken to procure lances for a regi- ment of lancers. They were to be made with a lance head, com- bined with a sickle-shaped knife, the first to thrust with, the other to cut the horses' bridles. "He (Wilson) thought the enemy (the Union troops) would become confused and distracted, and if a charge was made upon them when they had no means of control- ling their horses, they would be easily mashed up." (See page 128.) He disclosed the fact that ten individuals had been selected by the leaders of the Order "to take care of Governor Morton." He did not learn who they were. " They were to hold the Governor as a hostage for those who were taken prisoners, or to make way loith him some vmyT (See page 129.) " If they could not use him for their own purposes, they might take him out and kill him." (See page 135.) He believed these ten men would do this to Governor Morton, and " had good reasou for believing it." (See page 135.) Mr. Heffren further stated that in case of a rebel raid, the mem- bers of the Order were to place a rebel flag on their property and no injury would be done it. Also, that in the proposed insurrection they were to march under the rebel flag. " We were to join our fortunes with the South." (See page 135.) Dr. James B. Wilson, Adjutant to Bowles, was made a witness and related minutely the steps that were to be taken in commencing the insurrection in this State, but these details are hardly of im- portance enough now to warrant the lengthening of this report by their introduction. The revelations noticed in the trial of Dodd, and the confirmatory disclosures of Bingham and Heffren, cover all that is necessary to assure the public of the treasonable purposes of the Sons of Liberty. The examination of witnesses was com- pleted on the 25th of November, and the Court adjourned till the 6th of December to allow counsel time to prepare their arguments. The Court finally found Bowles, Milligan, Horsey and Hum- phreys guilty^ and sentenced the first three to death. Humphreys 314 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. was condemned to imprisonment for life, but General Hovey re- mitted his sentence to confinement witiiin a limited spare in his own county for a year or two. The sentence of the others was approved, the day fixed for their execution, and preparations were already commenced, when, upon the earnest representations of Governor Morton and other prominent loyal men, President Johnson was induced to commute their sentence to imprisonment in the Penitentiary at Columbus, Ohio. They were subsequently pardoned and returned home. Dodd, it is understood, was also pardoned. CONCLUSION. This summary of the obstacles thrown in the way of the prosecu- tion of the war by the disloyal element in Indiana, is far from com- plete. Many facts in regard to the action of the Legii>lature, the expressions of feeling by public meetings, the encouragement and protection of deserters, the resistance to the laws and the maltreat- tnent of loyal citizens, and in regard to the purposes and action of the treasonable Order of Sons of Liberty, might have been added. But they could only have lengthened this report without materially strengthening the argument for the two leading propositions which it is intended to estabish : that the disloyal element of the North contributed, certainly in a great degree, in all probability decisively, to produce the war; and contributed still more certainly and effect- ively to protract it. No amount of sophistry, bluster, denial, or attempted refutation, will ever erase from the pages of our history the responsibility of disloyal citizens for a large portion of the bloodshed, misery and desolation which the war produced ; or for the almost intolerable legacy it left in the form of a monstrous public debt and the exhausting taxation which follows in its train. Nor can the public mind forget that the distractions — resulting, at least in a very great part, from the treasonable events and efforts here briefly n^corded — have pushed far away the hour of renewed cor- diality of intercourse and restored prosperity. BELIEF OF SOLDIERS AND THEIR FAMILIES. ORIGIN OF THE INDIANA RELIEF SYSTEM. The outbreak of the rebellion found our Government, not only without an army, but without the means to equip it. Out of this ORIGIN OF THE INDIANA RELIEF SYSTEM. 315 double dcriciency grew an army of citizens, who not only needed rnoie care than the Government could give, but who left families dependent upon them needing help which no Government has ever given. A citizen soldiery, unused to war, and ignorant of its dis- cipline and privations, would necessarily sufTer more, not only in the lack of comforts to which they had been accustomed, but in their liability to disease, than a regular army, even when supplied with all a regular army is allowed. The danger was much greater when our Government found itself inadequately provided with even regular army supplies. In the necessity of averting this dan- ger, the Indiana State Sanitary Commission, as well as those of other States, and the larger organization of the United States Sani- tary Commission, originated. In this State the most obvious ne- cessity was the completion of inadequate Government supplies, and the effort to meet this led to the solicitation of popular contri- butions. The second necessity, but little less obvious than the first, was to supply comforts which the Government could not, or did not attempt to, supply. The efforts to meet the first led to or- ganizations which, during the war, successfully met the second, and the record of these constitute the history of our State Sanitary Commission. At the commencement of the war, the women, with the instinctive tenderness of their sex, set about supplying head- gear, called "havelocks," for our three months' troops, and the Gov- ernor provided every available comfort of camp-life and re- quirement of hospital service, to meet the deficiency of Govern- ment provision. But it was not till the approach of winter that the necessity for any cflbrt on the part of the people or the State authorities, in aid of the General Government, became apparent. In fact, it was not until the actual privations and sufferings of the winter admonished us of the amount of care that would be re- quired, that organization, or anything more than temporary help to be soon replaced by permanent Government provision, was thought of. The steps through which we advanced from accidental assist- ance to systematic and continuous beneficence were short, but each developed a wider necessity before us. Contributions of clotiiing, camp equipage, provisions, and hospital necessaries, were constantly made to the soldiers, directly, by their friends, both before they left the camp of rendezvous and afterwards; but these were far oftener mementoes of parental or friendly affection than provision for an- ticipated necessities. It needed the stern teaching of suffering to 316 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. convert them into a constant stream of benefactions, without which our camps would but too often have contained more graves than tents. The first steps were, naturally, those in aid of ordinary Govern- ment supplies. By them we reached the point from which we could see that further steps were necessary, and that ellbrts, not merely to complete, but to enlarge, those of the Government must be made. On the 20th of August, 1861, Governor Mortox, then in Washington City, telegraphed to the State officers as follows: " Urge Major Montgomery, (then United States Quartermaster, at Indianapolis,) to get overcoats of any good material, and not wait for a public letting. Do have them made at once. The men are suffering for them, and I am distressed for them. Perhaps a few thousands can be forwarded at once, by Captain Dickekson." This urgency, which might seem almost premature, was none too soon. Our men among the mountains of Western Virginia were already suffering in the chilly nights that announced the ap- proach of autumn. Governor Mortox, in w^hom anxiety for his men was a cherished duty, felt their sufferings before any complaint had reached him. It was not till two days after this that any in- formation of the wants of the troops was received. In pursuance of his orders, the State officers at once applied to Quartermaster Montgomery for the overcoats. He either could not furnish them, or, with the unpleasant captiousness that uniformly marked his con- duct, did not feel disposed to accommodate a State official, and ap- plication was made to Captain Dickerson, at Cincinnati. He promptly sent forward four thousand, in care of General Rose- CRANs, then in command of Western Virginia. The want of sys- tem, and the enormous rush ol supplies, during the first months of the war, caused delays and confusions to a most embarrassing ex- tent, and our overcoats were no more successful in "running the gauntlet" of incompetent or overburdened officers than other sup- plies. . For nearly a month the Governor waited impatiently for news of their arrival. On the 15th of September, hearing nothing of them, and the men beginning to suffer seriously for want of them, he sent his Private Secretary, Colot)el W. R. Holloway, to hunt them up. As there were a good many "knotty" places where such supplies miofht be entangled, he soon after sent the State Commissary Gen- eral, Asahel Stone, to assist in tracing them. Twelve hundred were WHAT DO THE SOLDIERS NEED? 317 at last discovered and pushed through. Repeated and earnest rep- resentations of the condition of our men to Quartermaster General Meigs, General Rosecrans, General Kelley, and all the officers concerned in the supply and transportation of the articles, finally * succeeded in rescuing or replacing them, and on October 7th, Gen- eral J. J. Reynolds, of this State, then commanding a brigade of our troops, telegraphed their receipt to the Governor as follows : *• Clothing is coming forward. In a few days we shall have a sup- ply for the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, Fifteenth and Seventeenth Reg- iments, except shoes, socks and caps ; the last are not so important. Shoes and sock's much needed. These regiments have suffered greatly, but not a man among them has any fault to find with the Governor of the State. They are all informed of the exertion made in their in their behalf and appreciate it." Satisfied, by the experience of this effort to supply our troops in Western Virginia, that the General Government, with every possi- ble exertion, must leave many regiments insufficiently provided, even with the indispensable protection of overcoats, and there being troops from Indiana at other points in a very destitute condition. Governor Morton resolved to see them properly supplied at all hazards. If the General Government would pay the expense, well; but if it refused the State would pay it, for the men must be cared for. Accordingly, he went to New York, and through the Purchas' ing Agent of the State, Hon. Robert Dale Owen, he bought twenty-nine thousand overcoats. For a portion he paid the Gov- ernment price, $7 75 each. But the demand for that sort of mate- rial was so great that he could not get the remainder of the necessary quantity short of $9 25 each. The Quartermaster General, upon presentation of the bill, refused to pay more than the regulation price upon the whole lot, leaving the difference of $1 50 upon a large luimber of coats, to be settled by the State. When notified by Major Montgomery of the decision of Quartermaster General Meigs, the Governor replied: " Indiana will not allow her troops to suffer if it be in her power to preventit, and if the General Government will not purchase supplies at these (the current) rates, Indiana will.'" The virtue of "beginning as one intends to hold out" was never more conspicuously displayed than in this instance. From first to last the important consideration was, not " will the Government pay?" but " what do the men need?" and what they needed they had, if money and energy could get it for them. By this provi- 318 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. dence and wise economy, our men were all, as amply as pos.^ible, prepared for the rigors of the first winter of the war. As another illustration of the spirit with which the Governor conducted all his business in behalf of soldiers, it may be noted here that when the Indianapolis Quartermaster, Major Montgomery, made a reclama- tion of his imperceptible merit in the business of the overcoats, against the universal approval of Governor Morton's action, the latter, after a brief statement of the efforts made, said: "These exertions secured twenty-nine thousand overcoats for our troop?. It will be of little importance by whose agency it was done, if they shall succeed in getting them in due season." Overcoats, however, were not the oiily necessaries lacking. Gen- eral Ri:ynold3 had reported, in October, that his men were without suitable shoes, socks or caps. Blankets, hardly less indispensable than clothes, were deficient in quantity and quality. Many articles, unknown to the regulations, were needed for both camp and hos- pital. Some of these could not be purchased, for there were none in the market. Others the Government would not purchase if it could. But they must all be had, and there was but one way to get them: to appeal to the interest of the people in their fiiends? to the duty of the citizen to the army, to the benevolence of the charitable for the suffering. This the Governor did in the first official attempt made to bring popular effort to the aid of the Gov- ernment. On October lOLh, 18G1, he issued the following proclama- tion I " To the Patriotic Women of Indiana : "When the President issued his first call to the loyal States for help, the Govern- ment was unprovided Avith most, if not all, of the articles necessary to the comfort and health of soldiers in the camp and in the field. Tiie women of Indiana were ap- pealed to, and they supplied the deficiency in our State with a generous alacrity which entitles them to the gratitude of the nation. The approach of winter makes it necessary to appeal to them again. Our Volunteers, already suffei'ing from ex- posure, against which thoy arc inadequately protected, will soon be compelled to endure the utmost severity of winter, and multiplied dangers of disease. The Government is doing all that can be done tor them, but, when all is done, they must still lack many comforts which men in ordinary pursuits enjoy, and which soldiers need above all others. Many articles of clothing, which, to men with houses over their heads and warm fires always near, are hardly more than a luxury, to men with no protection but a tent, no bed but the ground, and whose duty must be per- formed under the unabated rigors of winter, are absolute necessaries. They may save many lives which will surely be lost without them. These, the patriotic wo- men of Indiana, it is hoped, will supply. An additional blanket to every man in THE GOVEKNOR's FIRST APPEAL. 319 our army, will preserve hundreds to their country and to their families. Two or three pairs of good, strong socks will be invaluable to men iriio must often march all day in the snow, and without them, must lie down with cold and benumbed feet, on the frozen ground. Good woollen gloves or mittens will preserve their hands in marching and in handling their arm.«, and while adding greatly to their comfort, will materially Increase their efficiency. Woolen shirts and drawers, too, are a ne- cessity to men exposed to such vicissitudes of weather as soldiers. All these arti- cles the Indiana volunteers ought to have now, and must before winter sets in, if we would protect them from exposure and disease, that may be averted by this timelv preparation. Some of these articles the Government does not furnish, and others not in sufficient quantities to supply the waste produced by the exposure of a sol- diers life. Blankets cannot be purchased. The stock is completely exhausted, and the Government is soliciting contributions from the citizens. Will not the women of Indiana do their share in providing for the men of Indiana, in the battle field V "An hour of each day for a week given to the manufacture of the articles aamed will provide an ample store. Are they not ready to give that, and more, if needed? I urge upon them the duty of promptly beginning the work. Let them at once forward, at the State's expense, to the State Quartermaster, such blankets as they can spare. They will be immediately and carefully sent to such regiments as the donors prefer, If they have any preference. Let them singly, or by associations, se« about the manufacture of woolen sbirts, drawers, socks and gloves. The sewing so- cieties of our churches have a wide field for exertion, wider and grander than they will ever find again. Will they not give their associations for a time to this beneficent object? The numerous female benevolent societies, by giving their en. ergies and organizations to this work, can speedily provide the necessary supplj'. Let women through the country, who have no opportunity to join such associations- emulate each other in their labors, and see who shall do most for their couutry and its defenders in this hour of trial. The articles should be sent to the Quartermaster General of the State, with a card stating the name and residence of the donor, and their destination, if she has any choice. The names will be recorded and preserved, with the number and kind of articles sent. The women of Indiana alone can meet this emergency, and to them our volunteers, as well as the Government, look for sympathy and aid. "O. P. MORTOX, " Governor of Indiana, October 10th, 1861. In the official report of the Quartermaster General of the State, J. H, Vajen, made to the Governor, on the first of May, 1862, that officer alludes to the effect of this proclamation, in the following paragraph ; " This proclamation met with a most cordial response, and donations to the value of many thousands of dollars were forwarded. The articles consisted, for the most part, of blankets, shirts, drawers, socks and mittens, together with sheets, pillows, pads, bmdages, Hut and dressing gowns, for hospital uses. So liberal were thes« contributions, that I deemed It necessary In the latter part of the winter, to issue a eircular to the effect that the supply was sufficient, except of mittens and socks. 320 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. That deficiency, too, was so far supplied that all subsequent applications for the articles, with the exception of only two or three, were filled. The generosity of our citizens in this regard has added very greatly to the comfort of our troops in the field and camp, and very probably has saved many valuable lives." ORGANIZATION FOll TEMPORARY RELIEF. The distribution of the supplies contributed in response to the Governor's appeal suggested the first organized effort of any State to complete or enlarge the Government provision for our soldiers. The State Commissary General was charged with the duty of supervising the work, and energetic and humane gentlemen were sent as agents to the best points to carry it on.* Their expenses, and the purchase of such additional supplies as were deemed necessary, were paid out of the Military Contingent Fund, appro- priated by the Legislature at the extra session of the spring of 1861. The duty of these agents, as set forth in a letter from this office to the Quartermaster General of Ohio,f dated November 26th, 1864, was " to render all possible relief to our soldiers, espe- cially to those who were sick or wounded, whether in transit, in hospitals, or on the battle-field. Sanitary stores and hospital sup- plies, purchased in some cases by the Governor, but more frequently donated by the patriotic people of the State, were sent to these agents, and by them carefully distributed, the rule being to first supply our own troops, and then to relieve those from other States." In addition to this regular provision of distributing and assisting agents, special agents, surgeons and nurses were also sent to points where additional aid was necessary. In distributing the contribu- tions regard was had to the wishes of the donors, as indicated in the Governor's address, but where no special direction was given the stores were applied where the greatest need existed. This improvised arrangement was sufficient to meet immediate necessities, and when it was made no further necessity was appa- rent. It was a prevalent, if not universal, opinion that the war would be speedily ended, and it was certain that as soon as the Government could once place itself in a condition to supply the reqirements of the regulations, it would need no help from popular effort in that direction. But early in 1862, it became evident that the war would not be speedily ended, and still more evident that the Government regulations did not embrace everything that the previous habits of the soldiers had made necessary to their com- "■Foi complete list of regular Indiana Military Agents, see Appendix Doc. No. 12. fAppendix Doc. No. 87. INDIANA GENERAL MILITARY AGENCY. 321 fort and health, and at the same time they were very deficient in providing such supplies as were required for hospital use. What had been done by popular effort to furnish these, to enlarge the Government provision for the citizen-soldier adequate to his wants and the anxieties of his friends, would have to be done again, and continued till the war ended, be it soon or late. The improvised agencies suggested the mode of making such efforts effectual. They could be made permanent, reduced to system, and placed un- der competent supervision, and the foundation thus laid for con- tinuous and protracted eflfort. In this purpose originated the *'■ General Military Agency of Indiana," ESTABLISHMENT OF THE GENERAL INDIANA MILITARY AGENCY. This organization, destined to play so conspicuous a part in the history of our State's share of the war, was created by the appoint- ment, by Governor Morton, of Dr. William Hannaman, of In- dianapolis, a gentleman of large business experience, humanity and integrity, as " General Military Agent." To him was entrusted the receipt and distribution of all sanitary supplies, the supervision of local agencies, and the direction of all matters relating to the re- lief of soldiers. Local agents and special agents, either in the hospital or in the jQeld, were required to report to him the condition of the troops and hos|)itals in their charge, and the Governor was thus furnished with the necessary information to direct promptly and effectively the assistance, whether in stores, surgeons or nurses, that might be needed. Field agents were expected not only to look after the health and comfort of the men, but to write letters, to take charge of commissions for them to their friends and relatives, to see to the burial of the dead, and the preservation of relics, to keep registers of the names of all men in hospitals, with date of entry, disease or injury, and, in case of death, the date and cause, and any other in- formation that might be of interest to relatives and friends. These registers were afterwards found of great value in settling pension and pay claims. Local agents were required to make their offices the homes of soldiers; to assist them in getting transportation in returning home, when they had no money or Government passes; to provide them clothing when, as was too often the case, they were ragged and necessitous; to feed them; to facilitate every proper purpose; to take charge of returning prisoners, and provide every- thing which their shocking destitution demanded; and, in short, to Vol. 1.— 22. 32j2 adjutant gi5neral's report. he careful, alFectionate, watchful guardians. Supplies of reading matter, books, newspapers and periodicals, both for field and hos- pital, formed another object of the agency's care. Our soldiers were, with very few exceptions, men to whom reading of some kind was a necessity, begotten not only by the weariness of idle days, but by previous habits, and the demand for means of gratification was as constant and imperious as for stores and medicines. Besides the supervision of subordinate agencies of whatever kind, the General Agency was charged with the duty of chartering steamers, when it was deemed necessary after a battle, to carry the stores, surgeons and nurses that might be required, to the wounded, and to bring home, or to convenient hospitals, such as might be able or allowed to come. Frequently boats were dispatched to destitute points completely loaded with vegetables, hospital sup- plies, clothing and like comforts, and returned filled with wounded and sick men, whom the prospect of coming home, even more than the abundant and suitable supplies, and the pleasant change from tents to the airy boat, almost brought back from death. The first serious battle in which our State troops were engaged, that of Fort Donelson, in February, 1862, was the occasion of the com- mencement of this humane labor, which was never intermitted so long as it was needed. A few days after the bloody battle of Richmond, Kentucky, in August, 1862, special agents were sent, under flags of truce, within the enemy's lines, to look after the wounded who might be prison- ers. The embassy to Richmond, under charge of Dr. Theophilus Parvin and the lamented Dr. Talbot Blillard, was greatly serviceable to our suffering soldiers, in the hands of the enemy. A large number were relieved, and brought home, who, if left to rebel care, would in all probability have returned in their cotiins. Through the Agency, also, arrangements were made to convey to our prisoners in Libby, Belle Isle, and other rebel prisons, the contributions of food, clothing and medicines made by their friends, and the large purchase of some five or six thousand dollars worth of stores, made by Governor Morton, in Baltimore, for their benefit. The forwarding and collecting of claims for bounty, back pay and pensions, gratuitously, were subsequently made a part, and a very important part, of the business of the agency. Hundreds of thousands of dollars were saved to the soldiers by it, which would either have been lost entirely, or seriously reduced by delays and INDIANA SANITARY COMMISSION. 323 the rapacity and rascality of claim agents. Subordinate agents were also appointed to collect and bring home the pay of soldiers in the field, and the risk of mail transportation through a hostile country, andthe expense of expressingor other customary modes, were avoided. These instances indicate, rather than describe, the various and indispensable services of the " General Military Agency." A more detailed account of its action will be found in another place. In concluding this general statement of the services of the Agency, it may be remarked that the leading idea of its system of action was to provide for the wants, and take care of the health, of the men in the field, in order, as far as possible, to preserve their efficiency, and diminish the duties and demands of hospital service. " Prevention was better than cure." A well man kept well, was better than a sick man cured. Not that the needs of hospitals were ever in. any degree sacrificed to this idea, for they were as amply supplied as liberality, sagacity and energy could do it, but the primary consideration was to prevent or reduce hospital service. In its labors it had, with rare exceptions, the ready and grateful co- operation of the officers, in furnishing transportation for stores and help, and facilitating their distribution. The exceptions were usu- ally found in officers of the regular army, who knew nothing out- side of the regulations and conducted the business of armies as they had been accustomed to do that of companies. The Local Agents were paid from one hundred to one hundred and fifty dollars per month, and expenses for office rent, fuel, clerk hire and the like- Special agents or surgeons who charged for their services, were usually allowed enough to pay their expenses, no more being asked or expected. Through them and the cordial co-operation of Cap- tain James A. Ekin, the United States Quarter Master at Indian-^ apolis, who succeeded Major Montgomery, the winter rigors of 1862—3, were anticipated and the troops abundantly supplied be- fore their approach. In this connection it may not be improper to say that the uniform courtesy and efficiency of Captain Ekin were of inestimable value to the State, and richly earned for him his subsequent advancement to the responsible position of Deputy Quartermaster General of the United States' Army. ESTABLISHMENT OF THE STATE SANITARY COMMISSION. As soon as it became evident that a permanent system of extra governmental aid for our soldiers would be required, some mode of procuring, as well as distributing, supplies became necessary. The 324 ADJUTANT general's KEPORT. Military Contingent Fund, appropriated by the Legislature, besides beiiio- divided among several objects of essential ituportance to the service, would not alone have sufficed for the probable needs of the. relief system. To meet this want Governor Morton, in February, 1862, created the "Indiana Sanitary Commission," under the charge of Dr. William Hannaman, Military Agent, as President, and Alfred Harrison, Esq., of Indianapolis, as Treasurer. Both were peculiarly qualified by experience, disposition and business habits for their arduous duties, and both entered upon them and discharged them, till the close of the war, with a zeal that never flagged, an integrity that \vas never darkened by a shade of sus- picion of interested motives, and an efficiency that entitled them to the gratitude of the soldiers and the State. Primarily, the object of the Commission was to supply the Agency with means and material for the relief of our troops, but being under the same direction, with duties so closely allied as to be almost identical, and in fact being but one hand of the system of which the Agency was the other, bi)th were in effect one organization, and were pop- ularly known as one. The "Sanitary Commission" being con- stantly before the public by its appeals, its soliciting agents, and other efforts, easily became the representative of both, and as the " State Sanitary Commission" the Relief System of the State must stand in the records of its benefactions. The operations of the Commission can be most satisfactorily de- scribed by dividing them into their natural classes of " Collections" and " Distributions." The former was carried on by " Soliciting Agents" and auxiliary societies ; the latter mainly by "Military Agents," though many special " Sanitary Agents" were dispatched from time to time to different points. COLLECTIONS. Auxiliarij Societies. — The appeal of Governor Morton, in Octo- ber, 18()1, caused the formation of a number of associations, mainly of ladies, to supply the articles called for. These associations were not o'enerally discontinued when the immediate object of their for- mation was accomplished, but kept on collecting and forwarding such articles of clothing, food, and hospital necessaries, as they deemed likely to be of service. When the Sanitary Commi.-^sion was organized they fell easily into the position of auxiliary societies, and formed steady springs of supply to the stream of beneficence directed by the Commission. To them were added other societies, CONTRIBUTIONS OF MONEY AND SUPPLIES. 325 formed under the efforts and influence of the soliciting agents, who made it their main duty to establish and encourage them. The county seat was usually made the location of the central society, and contributing societies were established in every township and neighborhood, as far as possible. Through these, the contributions of individuals, and of associations unconnected with the Commis- sion, were collected and forwarded to the central society, or to the general office at the Capital; and by them was continued and ex- tended the work inaugurated by the soliciting agents. These con- tributions were composed of everything available for field or hos- pital use; articles of clothing not included in Government stores! of food, particularly of vegetables, dried and canned fruits, preserves and delicacies indispensable to the sick and convalet^cent ; of bed- ding, books and the like, of the variety of which an idea can be ob- tained only from lists of contributions reported by the Commission. It may not be uninteresting to give here, as an indication of the character of the work performed by these societies, a list of articles distributed by one of the agencies: — potatoes, dried apples, canned fruits, onions, kraut, pickles, dried peaches, wine, cordials, whiskey, eggs, butter, appFe-butter, small fruits, lemons, ale, crackers, rice, farina, corn meal, tobacco, paper, envelopes, bed-sacks, comforts, quilts, sheets, pillows, pillow-slips, towels, shirts, drawers, rags, bandages, fans, pantaloons, combs, handkerchiefs, socks, lint, pads, comfort-bags, slippers, boxes of reading matter, gowns, crutches^ There is hardly one of these articles that would not be either an indispensable necessity, or an acceptable addition, to the comfort of any sick man, and it would be hard to conceive the suffering, and fatality even, that they have alleviated or prevented. Soliciting Agents. — The supplies of material comforts, such as have been described, were left to the auxiliary societies. But more was needed than food, clothing, bedding and reading, to make the work of the Commission effective. Without money some things of vital importance could not have been obtained, and very often, nothing could have been sent to its destination. Government transportation could not always be had, or could not be relieved of the trammels of routine, in time ; and other things, as for instance, the pej-sonal expenses of agents in charge of supplies, delicacies for the sick not furnished in sufficient quantity, &c., had to be paid for in cash. Money was of course contributed through the auxil- iary societies frequently, but the main supply was furnished by the 326 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. exertions of the soliciting agents. These men, of marked energy and ability, traveled all over the State, holding meetings, represent- ing the necessities of the soldier and the operations of the Com- mission, organizing societies, soliciting supplies and money, and resorting even to personal and private appeals to citizens. They labored with a zeal and perseverance that stopped for no obstacle ! counted no cost of exposure, labor, or time ; that considered nothing beyond their duty that would procure money or goods for the soldier; and in this great work they achieved a success as credita- ble to themselves as to the liberality of the people. Dr. Hannaman, in his report of January, 1865, mentions four agents as eminently successful : Captain Alonzo Atkinson, formerly of the Sixteenth Regiment; Chaplain J. H. Lozier, formerly of the Thirty-Seventh Regiment; Hon. M. F. Suuey, of Elkhart county, and Rev. Benjamin Winans, of Lafayette. The aid of soliciting agents* however, was not called for until some months after the establish- ment of the Commission, the main dependence at first being upon auxiliary societies and voluntary contributions. Sanitary Fairs. — One prolific source of the supply of money as well as of goods, was the "fairs," which, for the last two years of the war, constituted a feature of social life that a stranger might have easily mistaken for a fixed national habit. Neighborhood fairs, county fairs. State fairs, were constantly soliciting public at- tention, in one quarter or another of the whole country, and no- where more generally or successfully than in Indiana. It is true we had no gigantic displays, like those of Chicago or Philadelphia, for we were working only in an humble way, and depending solely upon ourselves ; but the aggregate results make as creditable a show- ing as any State can boast. Among the conspicuous contributions to the Sanitary Fund was that made to the Sanitary Fair by the Order of Freemasons, composed of the individual contributions of members. It amounted to ten thousand dollars, and is justly en- titled to a place beside the magnificent contributions reported by the United States Sanitary Commission. The State Sanitary Fair, held at Indianapolis, in the fall of 1863, at the time of the State Agricultural Fair, was eminently success- ful. The proceeds amounted to about forty thousand dollars. The State Board of Agriculture gave every aid to the enterprise, and contributed materially to its success. Vanderburg county was awarded a banner for the largest contribution made outside of Ma- RESULTS OF THE COMMISSION'S WORK. 327 rion county. Many other efforts, equally commendable but less conspicuous, deserve mention, but any detailed account of the va- rious contributions would swell this report beyond reasonable limits. The sum of the results achieved by the Commission is stated by Dr. Hannaman as follows : CASH. Cash on hand at organization $13,490 92 Contributions in 1862 9 033 20 Contributions in 1863 3g 232 1 1 Contributions to December 1, 1864 97 035 22 Contributions from December 1, 1864, to close of the Commission. . . 91,774 30 Total cash $247,570 75 GOODS.

In addition, the history of the United States Sanitary Commission reports con- tributions to that society from Indiana to the amount of .^16,049.50, making a total contribution from this State for the relief of soldiers of $622,620.29, exclusive of the amount donated in 1861, prior to the organization of the Commission. These contributions, it will be borne in mind, were the voluntary offerings of our people. An examination of the official returns, published in the Appendix of this volume, (see Document No. 8, pages 75 to 88,) will show that the additional sum of $4,566,898.06 was contributed by the coun- ties, townships, cities and towns of the State, for the relief of sol- diers' families and soldiers who were discharged by reason ot wounds and disease. This shows an outlay, altogether, of over five millions of dollars, to say nothing of the thousands of dollars, in money and supplies, that were furnished of which no account was ever kept While Indiana has abundant reason to be proud of the glorious fame her soldiers won on every battle-field of the war where they were engaged, the foregoing record of the munifi- cent liberality and good faith of her citizens who remained at home, may well challenge the admiration of the world. This record would be incomplete if it omitted to testify to the 328 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. constant efTorts and restless energy of Governor Morton to forward the work of relief. He inspired every important movement, eoun- sellcd in every great emergency, kept .popular interest excited by stirring appeals, and, though charged with duties as onerous as ever fell upon the Executive of any State and allowing nothing in any of their multifarious details to escape his vigilance, he might have been thought, by those uninformed of his many labors, to have had nothing at heart but the succet^s of his plans for the relief of the soldiers of Indiana and their dependent and needy families. DISTRIBUTIOxNS. The goods contributed to local auxiliary societies were sent to the chief oiTice at the Capital, where they were assorted, repacked, and arranged for distribution. The cash was sent to the Treasurer. Of Cash. The money in the Tieasury was applied to the pur- chase of such articles as the Commission might not have on haud» and these, like others, were distributed by the agents of the Com- mission. Of Goods. The military agents at available points were usually made the agents of the Sanitary Commission for the distribution of goods, and they discharged this additional and important duty without additional pay.* The object of distribution, as already stated, was the preserva- tion of health and efficiency, rather than the cure of disease, though when there were sick and wounded their necessities were cared for first of all. The men were sought out, in camp and field, and sup- plied with what they needed. Aid was not reserved till sickness made it necessary to life, but it was given so that as little as possi- ble for sickness might be needed. During the investment of Nash- ville by the rebel force under General Hood, Colonel Shaw, the agent at that place, contributed materially to prepare our men for the arduous service that followed, by distributing among them sev- eral hundreds of barrels of apples, potatoes, onions and other vege- tables of quite as vital importance, oftentimes, as meat and bread. So at Atlanta, after the expulsion of the rebels from that place by General Sherman, our men, exhausted by weeks of continuous hard marching, hard fighting, and hard living, were recruited and many, no doubt, seasoned veterans though they were, were kept from the hospitals by the distribution of nearly a thousand barrels *See Appendix, Doc. No. 87. DISTRIBUTIONS ON THE MISSISSIPPI. 329 of potatoes and fruits, by the special agents sent to their relief by their Governor. It would be impossible, even if it were profitable, to give a detailed account of the" operations of the various agents of the Com- mission, but one case may be given as an illustration of the mode of distribution, and of the articles distributed. The steamer " City Belle," wath Dr. C. X Woods, as Sanitary Agent in charge, left Cairo, Illinois, on the 19th of December, 1863, to supply our troops along the Mississippi river. At Fort Pillow, our Fifty-Second Reg- iment was stationed, with twenty-five sick, sixteen in the hospital- For the sick the agent left two barrels of potatoes, one of onions, and four dozen cans of fruit ; for the well men, twelve barrels of potatoes, five of green and one of dried apples, three of turnips, one of onions. At Memphis, for the Twenty-Fifth and Eighty- Ninth Regiments, were left fifty barrels of potatoes, five of onions, five of turnips, two of crackers, twenty of green apples, ten of dried apples, twenty dozen cans of fruit, and four boxes of clothing. At Helena, though there were no Indiana troops there, the general hospital had four hundred sick men of other States in it, and for these there were left twenty barrels of potatoes, nine of onions, ten of green apples, five of dried apples, five of turnips, and twenty dozen cans of fruit. This was in accordance with the standing direction of the Commission, which was, to " make all contribu- tions to general hospitals for general distribution," and not merely for the Indiana soldiers who might be in them. This fact is noted here for reference in another place. At Vicksburg, were the Twenty-Third and Fifty-Third Regiments, and they were given forty barrels of potatoes, twenty of green apples, six of dried apples, ten of onions, ten of turnips, two of cabbages, and twenty dozen cans of fruit. For the General Hospital at the same place, forty barrels of potatoes, twenty of green apples, ten of dried apples, ten of turnips, twenty dozen cans of fruit, and one box of bottled spirits. Ar Natches, there were no Indiana Regiments, but for the use of the Marine Hospital three barrels of potatoes, two of onions* two of green apples, two of dried apples, one of crackers, and two dozen cans of fruit were left. At Baton Rouge, the Twenty-First Regiment was supplied with forty barrels of potatoes, ten of onions, twenty of green apples, five of dried apples, five of corn meal, and ten of turnips. For the Hospital, one barrel of cabbages, one of pickled cabbage, one of crackers, three of green apples, one of dried 330 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. apples, two of onions, four of potatoes, one of turnips, one box of bottled whisky, two boxes of canned fruits, four boxes of clothing, and two boxes of reading matter. Arrived at New Orleans, the Agent emptied out the remainder of his health-giving cargo, altogether four hundred and forty-one barrels of potatoes, three hundred and twenty of green apples, one hundred and eighteen of dried apples, one hundred and twenty-one of onions, one liundred and forty-eight of turnips, thirteen of crackers, one hundred and twelve boxes of canned fruit, twenty-three boxes of bottled spirits, and one hundred and sixty boxes of reading matter and clothing. This expedition to supply the Mississippi river posts and hospi- tals, had many parallels, though not many of the same extent. From what was done by Dr. Woods, as here described, an imperfect idea may be formed of the general plan of relief. West, South and East, of the three years following the organization of the Commission. The extent of the distributions of the Commission may be judged from a brief summary of one of the reports of the agents, for 1H64. James H. Tcjiner, agent at Chattanooga, during Sherman's ad- vance to Atlanta, and for some months before and after, and con- sequently in charge of a large number of our troops, distributed to hospitals, regiments, and from the office, from the 15th of Febru- ary to the 1st of September, six months and a half, 2,640 bushels potatoes, 15,985 pounds dried apples, 1,295 gallons kraut, 1,168 cans fruit, 1,278 pounds dried peaches, 442 bottles wine, 137 bottles whisky, 988 bushels onions, 461 dozens eggs, 493 pounds butter, 211 gallons apple-butter, 157 pounds small fruit, 132 dozen lemons, 220 bottles ale, 558 pounds crackers, 35 pounds rice, 1,!^00 pounds cornmeal, 100 pounds tobacco, 19 bed-sacks, 230 gallons pickles, 35 bottles cordials, 995 shirts, 410 drawers, 124 sheets, 77 pillows, 182 pillow slips, 9 comforts, 3,149 pounds rags, 4,055 bandages, 355 fans, 82 pants, 35 combs, 442 handkerchiefs, 543 pairs socks, 228 towels, 308 pads, 450 cotnfort-bags, 25 boxes reading matter. He also shipped to special agents, George Merritt, W. J. Wallace and Vincent Carter, 537 packages of vegetables, clothing, liquors, &c. These are sufficient to give an idea of the operations of the agencies, and the report need not be loaded with others of the same kind. Besides our own agents, distributions were sometimes made through the "Christian Aid Society" and the United States Sani- tary Commission, as their vouchers in the office at the Capital attest. UNFOUNDED ACCUSATIONS. 331 To whom distributed. As already stated in the preceding para- graph, the agents of the Commission were instructed to give to General Hospitals for general distribution, not for Indiana soldiers alone, whatever was a fair proportion to the Indiana soldiers con- fined there. And as at Helena, Natchez, and other places, they contributed to hospitals what they could, whether there were Indi- ana soldiers in them or not. Of regiments in the field, and men fit for duty, the distributions were made first to Indianians, but necessitous men of all States were supplied, as far as the means would allow. There was a pre- ference for our own men, but no exclusion of others. These in- structions were acted upon so generally, that applications to our agents for relief, from soldiers of other States, were common. Gratuitous aid. The Commission, through the president, ac- knowledges many services from the Superintendent of the Tele- graph Company at the Capital, in the way of gratuitous transmis- sion of dispatches; to the various Express Companies, which car- ried many hundreds of packages of contributions without charge; and to the various railroads centering at Indianapolis, for the free trans|)ortation of goods. These gratuitous services, paid for, would have cost thousands of dollars. Objections. It could hardly have been expected that an associa- tion with an object so exclusively unselfish should escape dispar- agement and resistance, for experience teaches us that mean men are very incredulous of disinterestedness in anybody. The man- agers and agents of the Commission were sometimes accused, by those who had no sympathy with its design, of appropriating the contributions to their own use, or neglecting to forward them, or perverting them to the pleasure of favorites. There was never a shadow of foundation for such charges, and they came always from men who were opposed to the war, and disloyal, in feeling, to the Government. From such, the Sanitary Commission received little help. The scarcity of contributions from opponents of the war was marked. Their services, like the statues in the Roman procession, were especially noted for their absence. That such men should wish true what they alleged, is easily believed, and it is hard not to believe that their suspicions were unconscious ad- missions of their own inclinations. The Commission has ample evidence of the promptness and honesty of all its actions, in the 332 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. letters of soldiers and nurses, and the declarations of all who made it an object to examine into the business. Prof. M. J. Fletcher. The first operations of the Sanitary Com- missions were made memorable b} the services and untimely death of Professor Milks J. Fletcher, the Superintendent of Public In- struction. He was among the very first to take an active part in the eflforts to relieve the wants of our soldiers, and was more con- stantly and prominently employed in that way than probably any other man in the State, up to the time of his death. And he died in the duty he had so disinterestedly assumed. He was on his way with Governor Morton, to Evansville, to accompany a hospital steamer with surgeons and supplies for the wounded at Corinth, Mississippi, and the train that was carrying him, at Sullivan, Sul- livan county, ran past a car left standing on a switch (purposely, it was suspected by many,) so close to the main track, that his head, as he was looking out of the window, was struck, causing death instantly. It was an irreparable loss to the State, to the Sanitary Commission, and to the cause of Education, of which he was so prominent a promoter. OPINIONS OF OTHER STATES. The efficiency of the Sanitary Commission, and the perfect adaptation of its modes of operation to the needs of both the sol- dier and the State, called forth frequent public expressions of ap- proval or admiration. Some of these may be quoted here, in just- ificatiim of the pride in their organization which Indianians have so often exhibited. A. D. Richardson, writing from Fredericksburg, Va., to the New York Tribmie, under date of December 18th, 1862, speaking of the presence of two of our Agents with the Army, immediately after the battle at Fredericksburg, which was fought December 14th, 1862, spoke as follows : "The peculiar and constant attention to the troops his State has sent out so promptly, is the prominent feature of Governor Mokton's most admirable admin- istration. In all our armies, from Kansas to the Potomac, wherever I have met In- diana troops, I have encountered some officer of Governor Morton, going about among them inquiring especially as to their needs, both in camp and hospital, and performing those thousand offices the soldier so often requires. Would that the same tender care could be extended to every man from whatever State, who is fighting the battles of the Republic." In October 1864, General Barlow, Quartermaster General of GOVERNOR BROUGH'S OPINION. 333 Ohio, in acknowledging the receipt of a letter from the Adjutant General of Indiana detailing the main features of our relief system, said : " Tlie plan adopted by your Sta,te is certainly as nearly perfect as I should suppose it could be made, and T am gratified to find, that so far as this State has pursued any definite plan for the relief of her soldiers, it has been essentially the same as that your State, by further perfecting, has rendered so eminently successful.''* Numerous other coinmendalions Irom high sources might be given, but it will be sufficient to add here the following extract from the annual tnei^sage of Governor Brough of Ohio in 1864. " While I desire to be fairly understood as not impeaching or desiring to impair the value of either of the associations laboring for the relief of our soldie^rs, I still adhere to the opinion expressed to you last winter, that more real good can be ac- complished at less expense through State agencies and our societies than in any other way. While extending our own operations, I have carefully watched those of our sister State of Indiana, and have found that her system merits the strongest commendation. It is simple in its character. Its central society at the Capital, under the immediate care of the Governor, receives all the contributions from the various aid societies. "These are classified and distributed to the various State Agents, according to the wants of their departments, who m time distribute them among the men. The State provides a fund to aid in the purchase of goods not contributed, and pays the transportation. There is no expensive mach.inery about it — no waste or extrava- gance. It has been objected to as being local and separate in its character ; but this is not the fact. While the first care of the Agent is for Indiana men, no other soldier in want or distress, has ever, to my knowh^dge, appealed to an Indiana agency without having his wants relieved. The Indiana agents have fiequently divided their stores with the agents of Ohio, and we have always tried to recipro- cate the kindness. " There are many benefits attending this system, which should not be disre- garded. "1. It is decidedly the most economical way of aggregating and distributing the contributions of our people, and expanding the means appropriated by the State for this purpose. " 2. It renders certain the distribution of all supplies to the objects and purposes for which they are intended. There is hardly a possibility for misappi-opriation. There is no machinery about it to be kept lubricated and no class of middle men to levy toll upon it. " 3. By proper care and management, it is made more prompt and energetic than any other mode; and by being more systematic will be more general and appropri- ate in its relief. " 4. It fosters and gratifies the State pride of our soldiers. It comes nearer to the feeling of home, as the soldier regards an Ohio Agency as a place where he has a right to enter and expect a welcome. If he is in want, there is no system of orders and requisitions to go through, no prying or unpleasant catechism for him to *Appendix Doc. No. 87. 334 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. submit to. The supplies furnished by his people and State are there, and he feels he is no object of charity when he partakes of them. His remembrances of home are freshened — his attachment to his State is quickened and increased — and he goes away feeling that he is not neglected or forgotten — that the cause of the country is still worth upholding, and the dear old State still worth defending from the encroach- ments of the rebel adversary. And this is doubly the case where the Agent passes almost daily through his hospital, bends over the bed on which he is stretched with sickness or wounds, inquires kindly into his wants, and ministers unto th^^m from the benefactions of his people and the liberality of his State. Surely this spirit is worth cherishing ahd preserving." UNITED STATES AND INDIANA SANITARY COMMISSION. The action of our State authorities, in organizing a system of re- lief for our soldiers independently of other States, of the General Government, and of the national organization of the " United States Sanitary Commission," has occasionally provoked unfavor- able reflections, which, as they have been given form and author- ity by the official " History of the United States Sanitary Com- mission," it would be doing injustice to our Commission to pass without notice. The charges, for they have the efflsct, though not the form, of charges, of selfishness, of interference with the disci- pline of the army, and of inefficiency (comparing what it did with what it could have done if its efforts had been properly directed), are contained in the following extracts. 1st. In reference to the battle at Fort Donelson, it says: " The truth is, the wonderful success which has attended the Commission's experiment of transporting the wounded in hospital boats after the surrender of Fort Donelson, has stimulated a great variety of organizations, and even the State governments, to pro- vide similar means of relief" (See page 149.) The entire want of preparation, in this direction, of the Medical Department of the army, is admitted on page 144, and is urged as " one of the countless practical illustrations of the consequences of a rigid adherence to routine in the early part of the war." Mr. Stille, the author of the History, might, if he had tried, have satisfied himself that the deficiency of preparation on the part of the Government which he laments, was known to the State au- thorities of Indiana, and of other Western States, quite as well as it was to the agents of the " United States Sanitary Commission." They needed, and had, no example of that benificent organization to stimulate them to provide hospital steamers for their wounded when they made the first attempt. Immediately after the battle at tTNGRACrOUS CRITICISMS. 3g5 Fort Donelson, and long before it, was known that any similar effort would be made by any other State or society, a steamer was chartered by Governor Morton to carry to our wounded the assist- ance contributed by public meetings, held at Indianapolis and other places, the day the news of the battle was received. Our aid was as early on the ground as that of the United States Commis- sion, and earlier. These statements of the History are referred to here, not as a charge of inefficiency or dilatory action to be refuted, but as a claim of undivided merit to be corrected. 2d. Of State operations at Shiloh: "It seems ungracious to criticise the work of a body of men engaged in an effort to relieve the suffering, even if their methods are not wholly in accordance with true principles, but there was one feature in the mode adopted by those who had charge of the steamers sent by the State Govern- ments of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, which was so obviously wrong in principle, and so entirely in contrast with the National and Catholic spirit which charcterized the operations of the Commis- sion, that it deserves notice. These boats were intended solely for the reception of wounded men belonging to each of these States respectively, and all others were rigidly excluded from them. * * * The indiscreet zeal which was willing to recognize State lines, even in its ministrations of mercy on the battle-field, can hardly be too strongly condemned. It was only another develop- ment of that obnoxious heresy of State sovereignty, against which the whole war was directed, and its practical injury to the national cause in creating disaffection among troops who were not recipients of its peculiar care, was scarcely less great than its violation of those sacred laws of humanity which make no distinction in the relief bestowed upon the suffering, except to seek first for those who most need succor. Against this Stateis/i spirit the Sanitary Com- mission resolutely set its face at all times," etc. (See pages 150, 151. Inhumanity and selfishness are serious charges to be preferred against a professedly benevolent organization, and the more serious when, as in this case, the fundamental principles of the organiza- tion are held to create or compel the evil. Whether there may be any connection between the political doctrine of " State sover- eignty " and the moral, or immoral, doctrine of " Stateishness," or State selfishness, it will be worth while to inquire, after inquiring whether it is "selfish " for the people of a State to prefer, in their 336 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. t^ervice to the suffering, their own relatives and friends to others, no more necessitous, who are neither. The impulse to care for onr own is innate and indispensable. Without it, there would be no strono-er bond among men than among cattle. The same impulse that makes a man labor and suffer for his own family more than he would for the families of others, that makes him fight for his own country in preference to a foreign country, that makes him a patriot instead of a cosmopolitan, directs the people of a Si ate to give a preference to the suffering of their own over those of other States. It differs only in degree, not in kind. No one will claim that it should be as strong as the family or national preference, but no one ought to claim that it should be obliterated, until the time shall come when constant association in the same duties, connec- tion in the same interests, obedience to the same laws, support of the same institutions, shall create no bond of union stronger than the common tie of humanity. That time will come with the mil- lenium, but not before. So long as there are State governments, and duties, interests and institutions, limited by State lines, so long there will be a "Stateish" as well as a national feeling. If it is selfish, it is so only as the ^'-esprit du corps'^ of an army is selfish, as the spirit that impels all men, thrown habitually together or under the same influences, to recognize a community of feeling, is selfish. St. Paul not only recognizes such a feeling as commendable, but enjoins its exercise as a duty: "If any provide not for his own, and especially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel." This is not a precept of inhumanity, but it is that upon which the action of our people was based which this author declares "can not be too strongly condemned." Indiana did no more than care for her " own," and she did not neglect to care for others when her own were provided for. If the Good Samaritan had found two wounded travelers by the road-side, equally needy, and one of them had been his friend, and the other a stranger, it is not improbable that the friend would have had the first use of the "wine and oil." But the proverbial designation of a charitable man would hardly have grown out of his case, if he had helped his friend and left the other to die. Indiana did as the Good Samaritan would have done. She "provided for her own," and then for others. Colonel Hollo way, in his dispatch to Gov- ernor Morton, from Shiloh, says : "All were supplied, after which we distributed supplies to surgeons connected with regiments from STATE SYSTEM OF RELIEF CONDEMNED. 337 other States." This, as set forth in a preceeding part of this Re- port, was the rule of the Commission. The distribution to hospi- tals where there were no Indiana soldiers, mentioned in Dr. Woods' report, (quoted in the same connection,) is a refutation of the charge. Governor Brough, of Ohio, gives his testimony to the same point, in the message already quoted : "While the first care of the agent is for the Indiana men, no Ohio soldier, in want or distress, has ever, to my knowledge, appealed to an Indiana agency without having his wants relieved. The Indiana agents have frequently divided their stores with the agents of Ohio, and we have alvv^ays tried to reciprocate the kindness." If these services created " disaffection among the troops who were not recipients" of them, and should therefore be condemned we may as well condemn every man who, finding himself unable to help all the needy he sees, helps as many as he can. The "dis- affection," however, uniformly took the shape of censure of those who should have done likewise, and did not, or left the duty to organizations that undertook more than they could perform and censured those who chose to do only what they felt they could do. As to the "rigid exclusion" of other than Indiana soldiers from In- diana hospital boats, it only need be said that when all available room is occupied, or assigned to be occupied, "rigid exclusion" of additions is pretty much a necessity. But the monopoly of means of transportation for sanitary supplies is not a necessity, and yet "the National and Catholic spirit" of the United States Sanitary Commission monopolized them. The spirit feither did not penetrate all its agents, or its Catholicity was capable of a construction anal- agous to that which in ecclesiastical matters limits it to a single church. For at Louisville, the instructions to Quartermasters placed the transportation of sanitary stores under tiie direction of the United States Commission, and our agent, Dr. Woods, says, December 20th, 1862: "This Sanitary Commission (the U. S.) is unwilling to forward any goods or sanitary stores unless they are consigned unconditionally to them." They must have a monopoly of benevolence at the expense of destroying by delay the value of the contributions of parents and friends. The historian should have waited before throwing stones till he had found whether there might not be glass exposed in his own house. 3d. In condemnation of the whole system of State relief, it is said: " If the action of the State authorities had been confined to Vol. 1—23. 338 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. efforts to improve the general administration of the service, and thus to bcneiit all alike, its influence would have been irresistible and its eflfeet most salutary. (See page 152.) Again: "If half the energy wasted by tlie Governors of the various States in the vain effort to supplant the Federal authorities, in the work they were doing so imperfectly, had been concentrated in an effort to force them to do it more thoroughly, we should not have to tell that the horrors of Shiloli and other bloody battle fields were mitigated only by the voluntary and partial efforts of humane, zealous, but irresponsible persons." (See page 153.) It may be suggested that it would have been just as well for the accuracy and credit of the History, if what it "had to tell" had been left untold. The statement makes the impression that the care of the suffering was left to accidental and irresponsible hu- manity, that is, to men with no commission or power but that of their own hearts. This is untrue. At Shiloh, and wherever wounded Indianians were to be found, there were men duly author- ized and directed by our State Commission, to "mitigate the hor- rors of the battle field." Not accidental vi.4tors impelled merely by humanity, but officers acting upon a well-settled system, with ample means and positive instructions. It is true they were re- sponsible to no law; they could not be puni;^hed, but by universal detestation, for neglect or misconduct; but they were not the acci- dental benefactors the History makes them. They were parts and representatives of a system as complete as the system of national government, and in no' sense a dis^play of mere individual benefi- cence. Whether our Governor's energy was ^^ wasted" in collecting and distributing over ^600,000 worth of stores, can be best decided by ascertaining whether that amount of hospital stores and sanitary supplies was consumed without doing anybody any good. As to " supplanting" the duties of the Government, it may be said that half as much time expended in ascerlaining what these Governors were trying to do, as has been mischievous^ly consumed in writing the sentences mis-stating and censuring their action, would have saved the historian the mortification of exhibiting his censoriousness and carelessness together. Our labor was directed, not to "supplant," but to complete, the defective labors of the Gov- ernment. There was no interference. Each laborer could do what it could, and both together were not likely to do too much. REASONS FOR MAINTAINING INDEPENDENCE. 339 Mr. R. R. Corson, the Indiana agent at Philadelphia, states the case accurately in his report of January 19th, 18;34: "It (the plan he approves) is in brief to call upon each State authority to em- power an agent in all the principal cities used as hospital depots, to discover and relieve distress of the sick and wounded that lie outside of the General Government's path of exertion. * * * The plan has fulfilled the highest expectations formed of it. It is indeed nothing more than directing into a special: channel those composite energies which our peculiar national constitution devel- opes: the General Government does its share, the separate States do their share, and between the united actions of both, the utmost good is probably done that opportunity and circumstances will admit." The Indiana Sanitary Commission did not append itself to the United States Commission. This is the secret, apparently, of the censures applied to it and similar efforts of other recusant States. The reasons why it maintained its independence are: First. The United States Commission was organized to perfect the Government provisions and regulations for the health of the army. What it did, was not to flow outside, but through, the Government's efforts, and thus to enlarge them to the exigencies of the war. This was necessarily a slow work. Our Commission was the product of a pressing necessity. Our men could not wait for overcoats in the mountains in Western Virginia till the United States Commission had perfected Government regulations, and, still harder, had converted regular army officers into practical men. They must be clothed at once. The process of supplying them created our agencies, and these ^ewinto our Commission. It had to act outside of the Government, and beginning in that way, find- ing it profitable and the Government constantly approving its work, it kept on. It interfered with nothing that anybody else wanted to do. It prohibited no service to our men that it could not render it- self. It was ready to help any other soldiers when it could. In short, it was modest, helpful, and free from jealousies. It could have been no more, and done no better, as an appendage of the National association. It did its work well, the United States San- itary Commission could do no more. Why change one good thing we were used to, for another no better, that we knew nothing about? Second. As a subordinate of the National Commission, its action as well as its agents would have been controlled by men of 340 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. whom we knew nothing. Men of whom the soldiers had never heard, who had no acquaintance with their homes or friends, who had only an ordinary olficial interest in them, would have been sent to their bed sides, would have had to bear all their little com- missions and listen to their sick longings for home, with which no sympathy of neighborhood or previous acquaintance could exist. This would have been less pleasing to the patient and less bene- ficial, too, than the presence of men whom they knew, or who knew of their parents and relatives. And it would have been less likely to impel the liberality of the people, to have strangers solicit- ing contributions, and strangers very often entrusted with their dis- tribution. Men naturally prefer to trust those whom they know. And the ^600,000 dollars contributed by Indiana for soldiers' relief is due mainly to the fact that it w'as made by Indiana men through Indiana agents for Indiana soldiers at the instigation of Indiana's Governor. This may appear very narrow, and possibly silly, to brains expanded by the contemplation of national organiza- tions, but it shows a knowledge of the springs of human nature without which success in such efforts is impossible. Third. The magnitude of the operations of the National Com- mission made a system of guards and checks, and a more compli- cated machinery, necessary, in ours none were necessary. Every man employed was known to the Commission. Our operations were, therefore, like those of an army " marching light." They could be commenced at a moment's notice anywhere, and carried on without any hindrance of " approvals " and " orders" and '" requi- . sitions," wherever an agent could carry a sackful of potatoes. It was always serviceable. The people knew it, and they did not know that the other was. In fine. The State Commission got ail the money that the United States Commission could have done ; it used it all with scrupulous fidelity for the benefit of soldiers, which is all the United States Commission could have done ; it was never out of the way when its services were needed, which is all that the other could have been ; it was always first, or among the first, on the battle field, and its services were always cordially recognized by the soldiers; and what more could the United States Commission have done ? It did not try to do so much, but what it did left nothing for the other to do in the same field, or nothing that was not four-fold made up by reciprocal service. There was nothing SUBORDINATE AGENCIES. 341 to gain by changing the State Commission to an auxiliary of the United States Commission. And there was something to lose, — the home interest, the State pride, and the liberality impelled or in- creased by them, of which, let the motive be creditable or not, the soldier received the benefits. SUBORDINATE MILITARY, AGENCIES- An account has been given of the origin of the Military Agencies of the State in the necessity of distributing the supplies called forth by the appeal of Governor Morton, in October, 1861, and a general statement of their duties made in the same connection. A full report of their services would have been impossible in that place, without swelling the sketch beyond its due proportion to the history of which it is a part. But this report would be incomplete without presenting some idea of the manner in which tlie numer- ous duties imposed were discharged. A list of the various agencies, with the name of the agent, time of appointment, place and dur- ation of sevice, is inserted in the appendix.* The subordinate agents were at first charged merely with the duty of following the armies in which our troops were embodied, and distributing among them, and the field and regimental hos- pitals, such supplies as were placed at their disposal. They were confined by no "red tape " restrictions, but, being selected for their known capacity and integrity, they were left free to follow their own discretion as to the application of their services. They were simply to do what was best for those most necessitous. But as the war progressed and permanent hospitals were established, and permanent places of rendezvous or centres of transportation were fixed, it became necessary to make agencies permanent at these points, without discontinuing those that kept the track of our ad- vancing forces. The first of these was created at Philadelphia, by the appointment of Mr. R. R. Corson, June 28th, 1862. Their duties are fully set forth in the following letter of instructions given by Governor Morton to Dr. David Hutchinson, the Agent at Nashville, Tennessee : • "Executive Departmekt of Indiana, Indianapolis, December 12, 1862. ************** " You .vlll look after the Tv^elfaro and necessities of the sick and disabled soldiers belonging to Indiana Regiment s; procure and register their names in a book to be '•'■Appendix, Doc.

You will pro- cure and furnish, from the proper officers, descriptive lists for all ■who may be with- out them, so that they may be paid, or, if proper, discharged from the service. Ex- amine the condition of the various Hospitals, or cause it to be done from time to time, and call the attention of the proper authorities to any neglect or abuse which may be discovered. In the distribution of sanitary supplies or hospital goods, you will co-operate with the Sanitary Commission in this city and the several Aid Socie- ties of the State. You will also confer frequently with Mr. William Hannaman, the General Military Agent, and make reports, as often as may be required, to him. ************** " It is intended that your office shall at all times be supplied with the fullest in- formation in regard to the location, condition and wants of the sick and wounded which it may be in your power to obtain, so that all Inquiries made by their relatives and friends may be satisfactorily answered. " Persons who may be seeking their friends in the army or in hospitals will call on you frequently for assistance in procuring furloughs, discharges, transfers, descrip- tive lists, pay, etc., and you are directed to aid them as much as possible. " Ascertain the locations of our various Regiments, and keep advised of their movements, so that proper directions may be given to persons who may be desirous of visiting them, to see relatives and friends. ******* It is intended that your authority shall be broad enough to enable you to transact any business necessary and proper to be done in aid of the suffering or distressed volunteers connected with Regiments from this State. " Consult with the Military Authorities of your Department, and co-operate with them in all cases where their interposition may be necessary. * * * " In addition to looking after the sick and wounded, you will keep yourself advi,-ed as much as possible of the condition, efficiency and wants of our Regiments, and re- port to this Department. " O. P. MoKTON, Governor of Indiana." The necessities of the soldiers, however, developed additional duties. Many returning home on furlough were without money, and had forgotten, in their eagerness to get home, to obtain Gov- ernment passes. The Agents were required to help these on their way. Many more arrived at the Agencies without clothes and in distress. They were to be relieved. As terms of service expired back pay was to be obtained. Claim Agents too often used up the arrears in needless expenses and exorbitant fees. Our Agents were required to obtain them gratuitously. Bounties were often left unpaid in the haste of pushing forward needed reinforcements to the field, or the want of means in the hands of Paymasters to j)ay them. Our Agents were directed to procure them. Pensions also became a prolific source of indispensable services. Prisoners, parolled or exchanged, always needed help, and ofted needed every- thing that sickness, nakedness and starvation could require. The SERVICES OF AGENTS. 843 Agencies were the instruments of alleviation. Through them also large relief contributions were dispatched to soldiers still in prison. Agents were also employed in collecting and forwarding to families such portions of their pay as the soldier de^^ired to send home. Of the services performed in these various ways, an idea can be best obtained by classifying them and giving examples of each class. Their Services — Distributions. — Little need be added here to the sketch given in the history of the " Sanitary Commission," of the articles, modes, or objects of distribution, or to the exposition of the rules by which this service was directed. It is sufficient to add, that the six hundred thousand dollars of cash, and stores furnished by our people were conveyed promptly and directly to the soldiers. Comparatively little was lost, injured, or mischievously delayed. The beneficence of the State reached its objects as nearly in the perfection with which it started, as human sagacity and energy could accomplish it. This was the effort in which the History of the United States Commission says, "the energies" of our Governor " were wastedP If that is a waste of energy it would not have injured the army greatly for even the United States Commission to have begun a wider "waste" of its energies in the same direction. If it was a "waste" it was because our soldiers were so unfortunately constituted, that over a half million dollars worth of sanitary sup- plies and hospital stores could be consumed by the healthy without strengthening them, or by the sick without relieving them. It would be both profitable and interesting to illustrate the services of the agents by extracts from their reports, but it would swell this volume beyond all reasonable limits. Registers^ Hospital Service, Aid to Relatives, etc. — So many du- ties connected with the care of the sick and wounded soldiers need mention, to give a just idea of the scope of the duties of agents, that it will be better to present a few extracts from reports relating what has been done in the particular cases described, than to at- tempt to pick out of each the separate services and present them in separate groups. James H. Turner, at Chattanooga, says, "records of sick and deseased soldiers were kept, and frequent reports made to your office for the information of friends, keepsakes and other property of the dying deposited with me found their way to Indianapolis. Letters were written for the sick to friends at home, and in every 344 ' ADJUTANT general's REPORT. way possible the wishes of the dying were cared for. * ♦ * The arrival of citizens looking after sick, wounded, and dead friends, save me much additional labor. I took wives to the bed- sides of dying husbands, and wept with mothers and sisters over fallen sons and brothers. I lent money to pay for embalming bodies, and gave passes furnished by Indiana to enable the mourn- ers to reach their homes. Many will bless the day when they found those little magic tickets." Mr. R. R,. Corson, of Philadelphia, writes January 19lh, 1864, in regard to the benefits of the Indiana plan of aiding the soldier : "First, the work of keeping the State accurately and frequently ap- prised of the condition and location of her every soldier in hospital in this city. » » * -pi^^ State is enabled to answer questions made by friends, to correct desertions falsely reported, and check oO discharges from the true date as no longer recipients of further State bounty money. Therefore, I make every exertion, to make my lists complete and accurate. Within six hours after the arrival of any sick or wounded man, the hospital to which he is assigned is reported to me. He is then visited, his name, company, regiment, ward and bed registered, and these details are sent to you when the number swells to a score. The sufferer once being noted, constant watch is kept upon him ; the hospitals being visited daily every change is noted, and I am able, in this way, to give a full history of ench patient during his sojourn here. * * * When articles of clothing have been needed, I have generally got them from the Sanitary Commission. Smaller articles, such as postage stamps, stationery, tobacco, car-tickets etc., I have furn- ished myself. As usually the men come from the field with from four to six months pay due them, and entirely out of funds to these men in a strange city among strangers, these little articles are most grateful, being gifts direct from their own State — an evidence that they are not forgotten. The lists kept at my headquarters are consulted by the soldiers from the dillerent hospitals, who are able to ride about, and from them the whereabouts of their comrads in distant hospitals is obtained. With car-tickets furnished by me, they are enabled to reach the most distant points in the city in a short time and enjoy a pleasant ride. Letters of inquiry from friends at a distance are frequently received. These are given im- mediate attention, and after visiting the patient in person, are an- swered with full particulars of the case." RELIEF SYSTEM PRACTICALLY APPLIED. 345 Dr. Woods at Louisville, says : " We render assistance to all as far as we can. We give precedence to the most distressing. A poor soldier is about to die at Park Barracks. We obtain for him a discharge furlough, give him transportation, and send him home to die in his family. I spent a whole day with his case alone. A poor widow came here with but one child in the world, and he is a soldier sick in the hospital. She has no dependence but him. She is robbed at the Depot of every cent she has. ]\o possible means to go home except to get her son discharged, draw his pay and go home on that. She obtains from the surgeon a certificate of disa- bility. His case is rejected by the Board of examining surgeons. For her we work." Scores of cases similar to these are reported. " I met a soldier who had lost the power of speech by sickness. He had been sent here without a pass. He knew no more what to do or where to go than a sheep. I took him to the medical director and the hospital." Colonel Ed. Shaw, at Nashville, posted up a notice from Gov- ernor Morton that "All persons visiting the hospitals to look after sick, wounded or deceased friends, should call on the regular Indiana Military Agent who will render every possible assistance," and that the office should be open night and day. The notice, he says, drew large numbers of people, whose desires created a vast amount of business. Besides, he made it his duty to notify rela- tives of the deaths in the hospital or field when it was necessary ; to take charge of the effects, ascertain the place of burial, and send home dead bodies. Colonel Ham, in regard to the duties of agents to citizens visiting soldiers, says: "There is one feature of this agency which has doubtless paid all the expense of it, that is obtaining passes for citizens. Had it not been for this hundreds of men and women would have been detained for days and even then have had to return without visiting their friends, as many had to do from other States, by not having agents at this point. Thousands of citizens who came to Louisville from other States have cause to thank Governor Morton for establishing this agency. My office has been the resort of all loyal citizens. The Pass office seldom, if ever, refuses to grant a pass on my recommendation." Instances of service of this kind to fathers, mothers and other relatives might be given by thousands. Of service to soldiers in hospitals, he says : " Much of my time 348 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. has been occupied in taking the wounded and feeble soldiers to the Medical Director's to be exannined for a discharge, and from there to the Discharge and Pay offices, and after getting their pay, in taking them to the railroad station and seeing them off for home." Writing letters and procuring descriptive lists for soldiers were im- portant and constant duties of the agents. Services Relating to the Dead. — Dr. Hanxaman, Chief Agent, says: ''Memorials of the dead are hunted up, preserved and sent to friends at home. These are obtained in various ways — from the hand of the dying man, or from his person at burial ; from the company officers, or from Government sales if not previously se- cured. Hundreds of knapsacks have been returned to this office through the military agencies and delivered to anxious friends. Many are the applications we have had to obtain, if possible, some keepsake of the patriot dead." Records of graves were preserved at ea/i'h agency. These extracts will suffice to show how multifarious were the duties of the military agents, and how impossible it would have been for any Government machinery to have supplied the want o^ the ever-ready, anxious and kindly zeal of these friends, and how vital to the soldier the service it rendered was. Besides assisting relatives and friends in the search for sick and wounded, a great deal of service was rendered in procuring means of transportation for such as were needy, or had been (as was often the case) robbed, or were upon charitable missions. Passes. — Dr. Hannaman says, in his report of December, 1864 : *' Our agents daily find soldiers who for months have been wasting away with disease, or suffering from wounds, and who have re- ceived no pay but are furloughed and discharged without the means of getting home. Such men are supplied with our Indiana military passes. Again, a wife, mother or sister seeks some dear friend who has been wounded, but is destitute of the means of reaching the desired hospital or camp. In such cases we extend the aid of the State. These passes are given to surgeons and nurses, also to san- itary agents, and occasionally to refugees. The number of passes issued to the close of 1864, to soldiers, was 3,053 ; to soldiers' wives, 509; to sanitary agents, 339; to nurses, 222; to special surgeons, 106; to military agents, 154; to refugees, 109: total, 4,542. The average cost to the State was about two dollars for each pass. Transfers. — Transfers to hospitals at home were always most COLLECTIONS OF CLAIMS, 347 eagerly desired by all the soldiers, and in serious cases it was a far surer cure than any that medical skill could devise. The agents did mach of this work. Colonel Ham, at Louisville, says, Dccs-mber 15th, 1864: "The labor and influence of your State Agent, in pro- curing and hastening through these special transfers, have enabled hundreds of soldiers to go to the hospitals of their own State, and saved a large expense to our citizens who have come here to take care of sick and wounded soldiers and could only remain at a heavy expense." This must serve as a sample of many similar reports. Colonel Frank Howe, Agent at New York, July 18th, 1862, writes thus of the order prohibiting transfers: " I am obliged to turn a deaf ear to the applications and entreaties of fathers, mothers, wives and relatives who daily come from a distance to take their dear ones home. The majority of these cases will be unfit lor duty for thirty or sixty days, while in their native air and surrounded by home comforts, they would convalesce much more rapidly than they could any where else. I am satisfied the Government does not comprehend the position of matters here." Transfers were at last greatly reduced in necessity by the im- proved character and number of permanent hospitals, and they were not so generally permitted. One influence greatly contribut- ing to this end is thus stated by Dr. Jobes, September 21, 1864: "So many furloughed soldiers are overstaying their time, that it is going to be a vast source of trouble. They are all marked as de- serters, and when the record is once made up, it is a permanent one, and although there may not be any criminal intent in any of these cases, the record evidence of it will be hard to disprove." The evil arising from this source was so great that at last General Grant was compefled to issue an order prohibiting furloughs or transfers. Collection of Claims.— The next most important service of the agencies was the gratuitous collection of back pay and bounties, and procurement of pensions. INIost of them, from their location, or other disadvantages, could not helpfully attempt this, and the greater part of it was performed by those at Indianapolis and Washington City. The amount thus collected up to November, 1866, was over three hundred thousand dollars. The agency at Indianapolis was also charged with the duty of assisling officers who had resigned or been discharged in, making settlement of their accounts, xMuch trouble and expense was saved by it to officers. 348 ADJUTANT OENERAL's REPORT. The numerous cases of extortion, fraud, and downright robbery practiced upon soldiers by real or pretended claim agents, suggested to Governor Morton this valuable means of saving to them their hardly earned and long-delayed dues. The effect was even more beneficial than could have been anticipated, and inspired the authorities of several States, — among them those of Ohio and New York, — to adopt the same policy for their soldiers. The former issued a circular urging its adoption, and the Adjutant General of New York recommended it there. Numerous letters are reported by our agents to have been received, testifying the gratitude of the meh for the benefit they had enjoyed, and relating instances of the outrages they had suffered before the agency was established, or before they had learned of its existence. Besides these more important collections of agents at Washing- ton and Indianapolis, those at other points assisted soldiers in pro- curing pay, whenever applied to. Transmission of Soldiers' Bloney. — The necessity of sending home more or less of their pay to maintain their families, made it very important to the soldiers that facilities should be afforded them for this purpose. Accordingly agents were early dispatched to follow the armies, collect all the money the soldiers wished to send home, and take effective measures to send it home.* General Stone reports, January 26th, 1862, that he collected ^7,000 of the Eighth regiment at Otterville, Missouri, and brought it with him. Thomas A. Goodwin, a collecting agent with the army on the Tennessee river, writes thus of his efforts, June 12th, 1862: "On the 2nd of June, having accumulated $125,000, I left for the State, deeming a longer delay unjust to the regiments paid." Again, July 9th. 1862, of a visit to North Alabama, he says: "I received some ^31,000, chiefly from the Ninth and Thirty-Sixth Indiana regi- ments and Cox's battery, with some gleanings from other regiments." B. F. TuTTLE, October 5th, 1862, reports the following collec- tions: Camp Nevin, ^7,000; Camp Nashville, 815,000; Camp Woodstock, 837,050; total, 859,050. These, like all other instances of the labors of our agents, are merely specimens of frequent or constant services. Later in the War, the Government, under an act of Congress, appointed "Allot- ment Commissioners," whose duties replaced those of Collecting ■^Seo Allotment Commissioner in this vulume. SPECIAL AGENCIES. 349 Agents, and that portion of the work of the Sanitary Commission was discontinued. Prisoners. — As already stated in the sketch of the history of the Commission, contributions for relief of our prisoners at Richmond were conveyed through the agencies at Washington and City Point to their destination. Governor Morton at one time pur- chased some 86,000 worth of stores for this purpose. It was suc- cessfully applied. " During the fall of 1863," says General Stone in his report of 1863 to Governor Morton, "reports reached you of the utter destitution and suffering of Indiana soldiers confined as prisoners of war in Richmond, Virginia, and on Belle Isle, near Richmond. It was stated that these suffering men could be sup- plied with clothing, blankets and other necessaries, through a cer- tain channel. Accordingly, under your direction, 1 shipped on the 24th of October, 1863, 11 boxes of clothing and one -bale of blan- kets, marked, according to directions furnished me, "Col. A. D. Streight, Richmond, Va. P'or prisoners of war. Care of Gen. S. A. Meredith, Fortress Monroe, Va." These packages contained 200 caps, 200 shirts, 200 pairs of drawers, 200 pairs of socks, 200 blouses, 700 blankets, 200 pairs of infantry trousers, 200 infantry great coats, and 200 pairs of shoes." Again, on Nevember 12th, he sent 34 boxes of clothing and shoes to the care of our agent at Washington. These were not allowed to reach our prisoners, and were returned. . But the most essential service was performed in caring for the wants of paroled and exchanged prisoners on their arrival at the depots, where their diseases, feebleness and destitution, made them the most pitiable objects that the ravages of war produced any- where. The country is so well acquainted with the condition in which our prisoners were generally restored to us, that nothing more need be said of the matter here than that our agents, as far as pos- sible, provided for them and helped them home. SPECIAL AGENCIES. The duties of agents dispatched upon special missions to our forces were in the main very much the same as those of our per- manent agents. The difference lay in the additional duty on the part of the former of following troops wherever the necessities of the war had sent them. They were expected to ascertain the con- dition and wants of the men in the field, and of the hospitals where no regular agent was placed, to distribute the stores they usually 850 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. - had in charge, and obtain others when needed, from the depots at the permanent agencies, and, in brief, to meet special necessities with the same services that were applied by regular agents to cases of constant occurrence. The account given of the operations of the JMilitary agents will cover so much of the supplLMuental labors of special agents that this report need not be swelled by ex- tracts from their reports. But there were two classes of special agents whose services deserve as conspicuous a place in any record of soldiers' relief as do the soldiers themselves. Special Surgeons. — Until 1862 there were no battles west of the mountains the casualties of which required special efforts to pro- vide for them, though agents were constantly with the men in Western Virginia, to look after Government and State supjjlles, which were constantly deficient. But from the battle at Mil Spring, January 18rh, 18G2, to the time when the Government's provision for the soldier, in field and hospital, was sufficient for his needs, there was hardly a single general engagement that did not require the services of special surgeons, nurses and means of re- lief; and they were furnished by our State, often first, always among the first, of the many beneficent agencies thmt gathered to these scenes of suffering. Additional Assistant Surgeons. — The appalling sickness which prevailed amor)g the volunteers during the winter of 1861 and spring of 1862 will be remembered. The men were unaccustomed to the hardships and privations of camp life, and but few of the many then in service had become seasoned, so as to enjoy perfect health. Thousands of enlisted men and hundreds of officers were discharged by reason of disability, and it seemed for a time as if the whole army would go to pieces, not from encounters in battle with the enemy, but from the more sweeping destroyer — disease. Neither the law nor regulations provided for medical officers suffi- cient for the wants of the troops at this period. One surgeon and one assistant surgeon only were allowed to each regiment, and the services of these were sometimes required at hospitals or on other detached duty; or, if they were sick, or resigned, the regiu)ent might be, and frequently was, left without any medical attendance whatever. Especially was the medical force inadequate during, or immediately after, a severe battle. This was strikingly ex- hibited at and after the battles of Fort Donelson and Shiloh ; and it was only through the prompt and timely activity of the authori- ADDITIONAL ASSISTANT SURGEONS. ' 351 ties of the Western States that even partial relief was afforded. So important did it appear to Governor Morton that this alarming defect should be remedied by the employment of additional medi- cal officers, even if only for temporary service, that he proposed on the 11th of April, 1862, just after Shiloh had been fought, that author- ity be given him by the Secretary of War to raise a corps of volun- teer svirgeons for field duty. Competent men of the medical pro- fession were ready to go whenever called upon, and wherever thev could relieve the suffering of the sick, wounded and dying; but the Secretary of War, after thanking the Governor for his offer, stated that so large provision had already been made for medical attend- ance in the West, he preferred to wait for a report from General Hallkck ; then, if more should be needed, he would give notice and instructions. Halleck was then besieging Beauregard at Corinth ; a terrible battle was expected, and the experience gained by the Governor in his efforts to relieve the troops on the Cumber- land and Tennessee rivers, only a short time before, convinced him that it was the duty of the Government as well as of himself to make timely and ample provision for the anticipated event. Without proper authority, relief parties could not pass to the front, or obtain transportation upon Government steamers, or travel with and secure the protection of Government troops and trains. The Governor, therefore, on the 21st of April, again telegraphed the Secretary of War, as follows : " That a great battle is impending at Corinth, is evident. Before additional sur- gical aid can reach the field from any quarter, five or six days will elapse. Mean- while the wounded must suffer immensely. So it was at Donel.^ou and Tittsburg. Indiana has at least twenty-four Regiments before the enemy. I propose to send at once to each of them hvo additional surgeons, and respectfully request authority from you to do so. I regard this as an absolute necessity." This appeal was too strong to be resisted, and the Secretary ac- cordingly gave the desired authority. The Governor at once selected the proper number of Surgeons, of good standing, and dis- patched them to the field with instructions to remain as long as their services were required. Nor did he confine himself to sending me lical aid to the Regiments in Tennessee alone, but, although the authority extended no further, he took the responsibility to send a number of additional surgeons to the Army of the Potomac and elsewhere. This action was received with great approbation by the troops, and the attention of Congress having been called to the matter an 352 • ADJUTANT GENERAL S REPORT. act was passed, (approved July 2, 1862,) which provided that in- stead of one Assistant Surgeon, as provided by a former law, each resfiiiient of volunteers in the service of the United States should have two Assistant Surgeons. The plan, however, of sending Special Surgeons to the field was not abandoned by the Governor. They were kept employed in visiting the armies, examining hos- pitals and hunting up our sick and wounded, wherever they might be, until all of our troops were mustered out of service. Steamers, — Besides expeditions dispatched after battles, when extra help and supplies were peculiarly necessary. Governor Mor- ton frequently sent aid, by steamers and otherwise, to our troops at all points where he knew of any necessity for relief. The voy- age down the Mississippi of the " City Belle," under charge of Dr. C. J. Woods, already noticed, was one of these.- During the year 1863, Dr. Han.xaman, in his report of March 2nd, 1864, says seven such missions were performed. The first w^as on the steamer " Capitola,-' starting on the 19th of February, under charge of Mr. Geokge Merritt, of Indianapolis, for our forces under General Grant, at Vicksburg. It took five hundred and forty packages of stores, twenty-five female nurses for the hospitals, and twenty-one Surgeons, under charge of Dr. Jeremiah H. Brower, of Lawrence- burg. Twenty of the nurses were left at Memphis hospitals. Twenty-five Indiana Regiments were visited and supplied. The second was the " Lady Franklin," under charge of Dr. C. J. Woods, with one thousand packages of stores, several nurses and Surgeons. The third was the " Courier," under charge of Dr. Talbott Bul- lard, and General A. Stone, with five hundred packages of stores, several nurses and Surgeons. A large number of sick and wounded men were brought back. But the expedition is said by Dr. Hanna- man to have been " most unfortunate to those engaged in it, for four Surgeons died during the trip or soon after their return, among them the ever to be lamented Dr. Bullard. He was a man of warm temperament, and when duty called him he never thought of self. His was a most valuable life to be sacrificed to this accursed rebellion." The fourth boat was the " Atlanta," in charge of Colonel W. E. French, with two hundred packages of stores and several Surgeons and nurses. It brought back one hundred and seventy- five sick and wounded from Memphis. The Jifth was the " City Belle," under charge of General Stone, with four hundred pack- ages of stores, and a liberal supply of surgical and nursing help. HOSPITAL NURSES. ' 353 This expedition reached Vicksburg on the morning of July 4th, 1863, the day the rebel stronghold was surrendered. The sixth boat was the " Sunny Side," in charge of Mr. E. J. Putnam, with one thousand packages of stores, and Dr. W. H. Wishard, as Sursreon. One hundred aiid fifty sic!i soldiers were brought back. The seuenth was the " City Belle," under charge of Dr. (J. J. Woods, with one thousand five hundred packages of stores. One hundred sick re- turned with it. The stores distributed on this expedition are de- scribed in detail in a preceding part of this report. On the 24th of November, 1863, Major James H. Turnkr was sent to Chattanooga, and he, with the help of Mr. George Merritt, Mr. Vincent Car- ter and Mr. W. J. Wallace, kept the track of Sherman's army in the advance to Atlanta, and subsequently in the celebrated " march to the sea;" assiduou-ly laboring to provide for the sick and wounded left behind and along the route. In December, 1864, in anticipation of Sherman's arrival at Savan- nah, Dr. C. J. Woods, with several assistants, was sent to New York, where he shipped a large amount of stores, by sea, to meet our men. But on his arrival he found that Sherman had moved north, and the supplies were distributed among the hospitals at Savannah, Port Royal, Hilton Head and Charleston. The re- mainder were returned to New York and there distributed on the arrival of our troops. Eight thousand dollars worth of stores were sent to the Agent at AVashington to be distributed there among our men in Sherman's army. These supplies were very opportune, as the presence of the combined armies of Grant and Sherman made the Government stores insufficient, and many men from other States were placed on short rations in consequence. After the winter of 1863 and 1864, the advance of our armies, the improvement in Government supplies, and the seasoning of the men to their arduous and perilous work, made the assistance of special agencies less necessary, and the work of the Commission subsequently was mainly done by the regular agencies. Nurses.— K most creditable exhibition of the devotion so generally displayed both by men and women during the war, was made by the ladies who volunteered as nurses. Very generally they were ladies in good circumstances, unused to the privations and labors they so readily assumed, and were prepared for their discharge only by tenderness, intelligence and patience with which Nature has so bounteously provided the sex. But they Vol. 1.— 24. 354 'ADJUTANT general's REPORT. worked with a zeal and conscientiousness that shamed all hired aid and brought to the sick and sufiering the blessings of " minis- tering angels." All that a mother, or sister or wife could be at home, they tried to be in the ho:>pitaI, and their success is attested in the warmest encomiums of surgeons wherever they served. Few of them were paid, or desired pay, and some expended their own money liberally in procuring food, and especially for delicacies which could alone be relished by the sick. Dr. Jobks, at Memphis, says: "As auxiliaries in the discharge of the duties of this office they have rendered me valuable assistance. But to the sick and wounded soldiers in the wards, thi^r services have been invaluable. Their delicate skill in the preparation of diets, their watchful atten- tion to the slightest want, their words of sympathy and encourage- ment, have made the hospital a home, and in hundreds of instances have quite lured the suffererer back from death unto life." Well may one of them say "England has a Florence Nightingale of whom she may well be proud, but we may boast of a thousand Florence Nightingales." In January, 1865, Dr. Hannaman reports that there were then in the service of the Commission about fifty female nurses. From January 6th, 1863, to March 11th, 1864, ninety-five ladies who vol- unteered as nurses are reported, and their names given, but the list does not include all, nor indeed some of these especially noticed by Dr. Hannaman in his report. More than one hundred of our wo- men became nurses in hospitals, and very many continued for months together. Two, Miss Hannah Powell and Miss Asinae Martin, of Goshen, Elkhart county, died while employed in the Memphis hospitals. Dr. Hannaman says of them: " Highly val- ued in the family and in society, they were not less loved and ap- preciated in their patient and unobtrusive usefulness among the brave men for whose service they had sacrificed so much. Lives so occupied afibrd the highest assurance of a peaceful and happy death, and they die triumphing in the faith of the Redeemer, ex- ulting and grateful that they had devoted themselves to their suf- fering countrymen. Their example of self-denial and patriotic love will be echoed in the lives of others who will tread in the same path." SOLDIERS' FAMILIES. The duty of the people, through their government, or outside of it, to provide for the families of soldiers, though less onerous, was RELIEF OF soldiers' FAMILIES. 355 not less than that of providing for the soldiers themselves. The origin of this necessity in a republican government has been set forth in the opening of this sketch of the etibrts for Soldiers' Relief. At frr-^t the universal enthusiasm for the war, and the hope of its speedy termination, produced an apparent indifference in this re- gard which was only removed when the full extent of the perils and consequent demands of the struggJe were revealed to us. Families were left to the care of relatives and neighbors, who eagerly encouraged enlistments by promises of attention, which, though often illy fulfilled, were in the main sufficient to prevent the matter from assuming any public importance. But when the term of enlistment was fixed at three years, volunteers began to see that something more than individual promises of support were necessary to justify them in leaving their families. They must make some provision themselves, and this necessity originated the policy of "bounties," which was carried to an extent in our war unknown in any age or country before, because never before was there so yast a population thrown upon public support. And it was not a population of paupers accustomed to want, but of thrifty and prosperous families, entitled at least to suffer no diminution of comfort from the sacrifice of their natural support which they had made. The volunteers, like other men, believed they could make better provision for their families than anybody else could, if they had the means, and they naturally demanded the means as a con- dition of enlistment. This does not imply that the granting of bounties was yielded to a demand for them, for they were olfered before they were demanded, but it was yielded to an imperious ne- cessity which was prevented from becoming a demand only by be- ing anticipated. The General Government offered a bounty and advanced pay ; the States in some cases offered an additional bounty, and counties, cities and associations added to both a sum larger than both together, not to induce, but to enable the volunteer to enlist. It has been often urged as a reproach to our soldiers, that they exacted a bounty as large as the year's wages of a good mechanic before they could consent to serve at all, and then ex- pected treble the pay of the best paid troops in any other country. The reproach is the utterance of ignorance. If our soldiers wanted high bounties, it was because they had a need for it that other sol- diers do not usually have. It was in effect only putting into their own hands, for economical application, provision for their families 356 ADJUTANT QKNERAL's REPORT. which would otherwise have had to be administered by public agents, wastefully sorrietimes, corruptly oftentimes, and expensively at all times. But bounties, as liberal as they were, could not feed and clothe and house a wife and children three years. Nor could liberal pay, in most cases, eke out the provision of the bounty. Both together would fall far short of the comfort to which fuinilies had always been accustomed. Additional provisions must be made. This, as earlier in the war, was often done by the care and kindness of neighbors, associations, churches; but even they could not cover the vast necessity that existed. Here, as in all else that alTected the soldiers' welfare, the watchful care of Governor Morton saw the necessity and devised the remedy, almost before it had been felt by those it was approaching. On the 14th of November, 1862, he issued an "Appeal to the People of the S'ate of Indiana."* In this address the necessities and modes of relief were so clearly stated that little was left to the people but to go to work. There was no occasion for differences of opinion about organizations, or |)ro- cesses of distribution. The experience of the Sanitary Commis- sion had settled all questions, and the people went to work at once. The clergy, so forcibly appealed to, responded with a promptitude that expressed how fully their Christian zeal was prepared to sec- ond the suggestions of their patriotism. Bishop Ames, of the Methodist E|)iscopal Church, on the 24th of November addressed the following circular letter to the clergy and laity of that church: '■'■Dear Brethren : — In view of the recent timely and humane proclamation of his Excellency, Governor O. P. Morton, calling for relief measures for the families of soldiers, I feel it incumbent upon me to earnestly recommend to you immediate co- operation in this benevolent and patriotic work. The precursors of a vigorous win- ter, and the rapid advance in the price of fuel, provisions, and all the necessaries and comforts of hfc, foreshadow destitution and suffering that only can be mitigated or prevented by the prompt and systematic action of all good citizens throughout our Commonwealth. Such action will not only relieve the wants of those in our midst who have been rendered poor by the present struggle for our national exist- ence, but will strengthen the hands and cheer the hearts of those who have gone forth to fight for our Government. I do not advise that you should act denomina- tionally, but that you should cooperate in carrying out the spirit of the proclama- tion, both with the civil government and with those, by whatsoever name they may be called, who love Him who says that all kindness to the poor and suffering is kind- ness to Himself. To this end, I would suggest that the ministers of the Methodist Episcopal Church, in connection with the clergy of all other denominations, in each county throughout the State, hold a meeting, invite the township trustees to join •Appendix, Doc. No. 140. NEIGHBORHOOD CONTRIBUTIONS. 357 them, and agree upon some organized method of relief and visitation, since tlie work to be done is a great one, and nothing but organized, intelligent and persistent effort can accomplish it. In the name of Him who eschews all promises unattended by action— who will judge men, not by what they say, but by what they do, I call your attention to these things. Yours fraternally, E. R. Ames. Other churches were in no degree behind in this effort. On tlic 1st of December, a letter, signed by all the ministers of the Gospel in Indianapolis, was sent "to the clergy, county commissioners, township trustees, and ail who were willing to engage in aiding the families of soldiers," throughout the State, enforcing the exhorta- tions and suggestions of the Governor. The feeling diffused through the people was rapidly ciystalized into action whenever it found something to gather about. "Soldiers' Aid Societies" were formed in every neighborhood, or their duties added to those of the auxiliary sanitary associations. Their agents received and filled applications, visited the needy, and sought out those whose dislike to seem to be recipients of charity, impelled them either to conceal or dissimulate their wants. Their exertions soon dispelled this il- lusion, and made the objects of their care feel that the relief given them was not a benefaction, but a payment, a debt far more oblig- atory and sacred than any resting upon legal forms and proofs. Families were taught, where the sharper instruction of want had not suggested the lesson first, that the community had assumed the duty delegated by the parent, and their claims were as inviolable upon one as the other. County Commissioners made liberal ap- propriations, and many a project of improvement, of new court houses, new bridges, better roads, was deferred to the higher neces- sity of supporting the dependants of volunteers. Fairs were held, and the proceeds distributed, either by township trustees or agents of local aid societies. The efforts for the Sanitary Com- mission were rivalled and even surpassed by these. No inconsid- erable part of the time and labor of a large portion of our people, especially of the women, were given to these objects. The num- ber of them who made duty almost an occupation, and certainly divided with it; their household cares, would be almost incredible, if it could be ascertained. The most striking feature of this outpouring of popular duty to soldiers' families, were those occasions when, by general concur- rence in the suggestion of some newspaper or prominent citizen, a day was fixed for contributions to be brought to some central depot 358 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. for distribution. It was made a neighborhood holiday. Towns- people carried their money, flour, meat, groceries, wood or clothing to the appointed place, and all but those who wanted the war to fail, seemed filled with an emulation to give as much as they could. Farmers, however, bore off the prize for the most conspicu- ous, if not liberal, displays of contributions. Those of difierent neighborhoods would collect together early in the morning, and at the appointed time drive into the country town with wagons loaded with wood, and with barrels of flour, or apples, or potatoes, heaped high on the wood, with their horses decorated with flags, sometimes carrying banners, and as the long procession of gratitude and liber- ality marched along the streets, the crowded pavements welcomed it with cheers as for the return of a victorious army. Enmlation ran wild in efforts to show the biggest loads afid make the most striking display. Some w^agons were built on purpose to carry the loads of a half dozen of ordinary size, and four or five cords of wood were not un frequently piled on by some generous and emu- lous farmers. It is very questionable if any nation can exhibit a more creditable proof of the remedies as well as the power, the will as well as the wealth of a people, to take from their govern- ment a burthen that it could not bear, but whicii rested, if not lightly, at least not painfully, upon their o-\vn willing shoulders. Of the amount thus contributed it is impossible to form a eonjrct- ure, but it must have been well along in millions of dollars. While the provision made from "bounties'' was still unex- hausted, the relief aflbrded by aid societies, counties and popular contributions was sufficient. But a bounty barely suflScient for a year, if so much could, with no sort of frugality, be made to meet the wants of two years, and popular liberality was in- voked to increased effort by Governor MoirroN, in an address of October 27th, 1863. in which, after repeating the arguments for it, in the increasing necessities of soldiers' families, he proceeded to point out more minutely the modes of operation, as follows: " An efficient working committee in each ward and township should be at once selected, with such assistants and sub-com- mittees as may be necessary, who can easily ascertain the number of families within their limits requiring aid, and estimate the quan- tity, kind and cost of all supplies needed during the winter. Con- , tributions can be taken up accordingly. In this work the town- ship trustees, and the officers of the various churches, will doubtless STATE BAKERY. 359 lend a willing hand. Especially do I desire that ministers of the gospel should present this subject to their respective congregations, and co-operate, as far as possible, in carrying out the general plan of relief." The response to this was a continuation and increase of past etlorts. Stale Bakery. — A very considerable, as well as timely, contribution was made from the 2oth of June, 1864, to the 1st of August, 1865 — a period of especial urgency for relief — the judicious management of the State Bakery by Quartermaster General Stone. The Bakery was established solely to supply the camps at Indianapolis, both of recruits and prisoners, with good fresh bread at as little expense as possible, but it proved so economical that General Stone was able to give the soldiers, in bread, the full weight of the flour furnished on their rations, and have one-third of it left. This surplus was sold for cfash, which paid many expenses outside of the bakery. But far more important than any other result was its contribution to soldiers' families. During the period stated it fur- nished sixty-three thousand five hundred and forty loaves of bread gratuitously, which, at the ordinary price, ten cents per loaf, would have cost the beneficiaries six thousand three hundred and fifty- four dollars. An account was kept of the names, residence, regi- ment and company of the soldiers whose families were thus as- sisted, and of the names of their wives and children of the daily allowance given to each family. The value of such contributions can hardly be estimated by the money it saved or cost. Further remarks concernino: the State Bakery will be found under the head of "Quartermaster General's Office," in this volume. Legislative Relief. — But in spite of all efforts the necessity still increased. In the fall of 1864, the Governor again set popular feeling at work, but it was evident that the feeling was not equal to the need. He brought the matter before the Legislature which met in January, 1865. That body passed a bill, approved March 4th, 1865, but a month before the close of the war, assessing a tax of thirty cents on each hundred dollars of property in the State, the proceeds of which should be applied to soldiers' families, in the modes and proportions set forth in the following circular from the State Auditor to the County Auditors, August 4th, 1865: !C0 ADJUTANT general's REPORT.

Each child, therefore, it none of the enumerated had "otherwise sufficient means for their comfortable support,"' would be entitled to receive 67 cents per month; each motherless child, $1 34 per month ; and each mother, wife, or widow, $2 70 per month. But owing to the fact that a laro-e number of the enumerated are not entitled to tlie benefit of the act under its terms, on account of having other means for their support, which, the Township Trustee, being the dir-bursing officer, is to determine ; and the further fact, that a majority of our soldiers have themselves returned to take care of their families, there can be no doubt but that the fund will be ample to allow each actual beneficiary the full amount contemplated by law, from the time of its passage, March 4, 1865. Under the law, the County Commissioners are authorized and required to borrow, from time to time, as may be deemed necessary, four-fifths of the amount set apart to their respective counties in the foregoing scnedule. T. B. McCarty, Auditor of State. This legislative provision, aided by the societies and popular contributions, would have been sufficient to avert any serious dis- tre?=s, but before any considerable portion of the tax was collected the end of the war restored the surviving soldiers to their homes, wiih pay, in many cases, and in all cases the opportunities and re- wards of customary labor to replace the support so long afforded as the payment of a national debt. SOLDIERS' HOME AND REST. TEMPORARY PROVISION. The efforts of the State and the people for the relief of soldiers and their families were not entirely, though mainly, confined to the channels hereinbefore set forth. Indianapolis, from its central po- sition, and character as the capital of the State, was the point of SOLDIERS HOME AND REST, 3G3 rendezvous for the greater portion of our soldiers in returning home from the field, or returning from home to the "front," and \U nu- merous railroad connections made it a centre of transportation for troops from every State in their movements from one portion of the country to another. In consequence, large numbers were fre- quently accumulated here temporarily, either awaiting onlers, or delayed by deficient transportation. They needed some place to rest and refresh themselves. But still more imperious was the ne- cessity of providing for the sick, who, in the earlier part of the war, constituted no inconsiderable portion of all arrivals. The camps of rendezvous were not immediately on the lines of travel and were generally full. The Sanitary Commission, as early as January, 1862, saw the necessity of some provision for this state of things, •and, naturally, at first attempted to meet it by obtaining quarrcrs at convenient hotels. " An agent," says Dr. Hannaman, " was placed at the depot by direction of the Commission to attend the arrival and departure of trains, and to furnish meals and lodging to all who required them." This was found sufficient for a time, but the progress of the war developed necessities so rapidly, a tem- porary "camp" was established in the vacant ground souih of the depot, where hospital tents were erected and bedding and rations furnished. This provision was again outgrown by the demands of the war and it was from the first insufficient for the sick and wounded, who constituted the most necessitous objects of the care which created it." Something more and of a more permanent char- acter, must be done. Here originated, and what, till the close of the war, was widely known as the " Soldiers' Home."^ PERMANENT PROVISION. In the latter part of June, 1862, Governor Morton, in whose interest in our soldiers every conspicuous measure of relief took its rise, resolved to establish a permanent place of rest and refreshment for soldiers passing through the city, irrespective of the States to which they belonged, and to add to it, as soon as practicable, a hospital department for the care of the sick or disabled who might wot require or could not, in their frequently crowded state, obtain admis- sionto theregularhospitals. "Accordingly," ^^ays Quartermaster Gen- eral STONK,^"in June and July, 1862, at your (ihe Governor's) in- stance, the General Government paid for the erection of a building in a grove near White River, north of the railroads. It was 150 leet 364 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. I0112: and 24 feet wide. The State sovcrnment and Sanitary Com- mission completed the work of the General Government by fitting up 100 feet of the building as a sleeping apartment and providing it with buiilvs,the bedding being furnished by the Commission. The remaining 50 feet was used as a dining hall. A kitchen, 24 feet square, was added to the main building, and all its furniture, a? well as that of the dining hall, was supplied by the State. The establishment was opened about the 1st of August, 1862. On the 8th, General Stone published a notice of the fact and so- licited contributions. Thus provision was made for the accommo- dation of about 100 men. The management was entrusted to Mr. Georgk Mrrritt, assisted by Messrs. Bacon and Hunt. The whole expense of it was borne by the Sanitary Commission, except the subsistence, which was, of course, supplied in the ration* to which the men were entitled. Contributions were made by cit- izens of vegetables, butter, eggs, fruit, books, paper and envelopes, chairs and the like, and the Postmaster at Indianapolis, Hon. A. H. Conner, donated a quantity of postage stamps, not the least im- portant contribution to men far away from home and friends. The accommodations soon proved too small for the demands upon them, and in the latter part of 1862 the General Government, through the influence of Captain Ja:mf,s A. Ekin, erected another building, 250 long by 24 feet wide, for a dining hdl, allowing the former hall to be added to the dormitory. The larger provision for dining than sleeping was owing to the fact that large numbers of men were detained but a few hours, waiting for trains, and they needed to eat but not to sleep in the " Home." The furniture and fixtures of this, like those of the other building, were supplied by the State. Three tables, extending nearly the whole length, would seat comfortably from 900 to 1,000 men. But still more accommodations were needed, especially for the sick. In 1863 the General Government added a third building, 150 feet long by 24 feet wide, which was, in a short time, con- verted into a hospital. These provisions, though far exceeding any anticipation when the "Home" was iirst projected, soon proved equally inadequate to the growing needs of the service with the less ample one at the beginning. In A|)ril and May, 1864, General Stoni:, by direction of the Governor, erected two buildings adjacent to the old ones, each 175 feet long by 28 feet wide, in which were two rows of bunks, with, as in the first building, three tiers in each. MANAGEMENT OF THE HOME, 365 The two would accommodate about 1,000 men. The cost of their erection and furniture was about $i4,000, which was paid l^y ihe State. In this its full developement of usefulness, the "Home" conld loflge about 1,800 men, and feed 8,000 every day. But even yet. General Stone says, there were occasions when one-half the men requiring accommodations could not have them. Of its benefits General Stonk's report furnishes so complete a summary that it is incorporated here: "The Soldiers' Home and Rest has been of inestimable importance to the wearied and care- worn as well as to the sick and wonnded soldier. Nor has it been of sliirht benefit to the nuujerous detachments of Government employds, detained here while in transit to various destinations in the South, sometimes over night, and sometimes for days. So also have its benefits been freely bestowed upon companies, regiments, and indeed whole army corps, whether going to the front or return- ing. These men have been comfortably lodged during their sojourn here as far as the capacity of the " Home " allowed ; and all, with- out exception, have been furnished with a plentiful supply of well- eooked and wholesome food. And not only docs the "Home" furnish the soldiers warm and palatable meals, but whenever nec- essary, W9 furnish those in transit with 'dry, or lunch rations,' con- sisting of army bread, dried beef and cheese in sufficient quantity to last them to the next depot of supplies. The " Home" has also been of especial importance to the State authorities, as affording a suitable place for bestowing the hospitality of reception dinners on our returned veteran regiments and artillery companies. Under the auspices of the patriotic ladies of this city (Indian- apolis), and by their efl:icient personal aid in the kitchen and dining-hall of the ' Home,' we have thus bestowed acknowledge- ments and welcome on behalf of the State, on about fifty regi- ments and artillery companies." Of the economy of thus provid- ing for men in transit, the General says: "The monthly state- ments on file in this department show that we have not, in any case, drawn the full amount of subsistence that the men were en- titled to as rations, except in the article of flour. The value at Government contract i)rices, of the subsistence stores thus left in the Commissary Department undrawn, from August 1st, lb62, to January 1st, 1865, amounts to ^71,310 24.* This vast saving, effected simply by care in using the rations of the men, would have made some valuable additions to the ' Home,' in both houses and •This arnouQt was reduced to 850,268 53 upon final settleiuent, when the "Home" was closed. 366 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. a supply of pure water, and rearranging the accommodations, if it could have been made available ; but, though the men or their regiments or companies could have obtained the benefit of the savings, in the 'Home' they could not, as then no organization ex- isted by which application could be made. The incidental expenses, such as payment of help, making repairs, replacing furniture and the like, amounting to -$19,642,19, were met by a sutlers' tax, the sale of kitchen offal and the savings on flour. The State was never burthened with a cent of the cost of maintaing the * Home' after the buildings were erected and furnished. The following summary of the operations of the "Home" is compiled from General Stone's official reports: . Number of meals furnished, last five monrlis of 18G2, 210,185 Number of meals furnished, in tlie jear 1863, 81 7,G56 Number of meals furnished, in the year 18G4, 1,G42,908 Number of meals furnished, in the year 18C5, 1,037,450 Number of meals furnished, first five months of 1866, 69,592 Total meals furnished in three years and ten months, 3,777,791 This shows an average per day of meals, in 186-2, 1,400 This shows an average per day of meals, in 1863, 2,240 This shows an average per day of meal-<, in 186 1, 4,498 This shows an average per day of meals, in 1865, 2,842 This shows an average per day of meals, in 1866, 463 The amount realized in cash from various sources for the benefit of tiie ''Home" was $19,642.19, all of which was duly expended ,as above stated. Besides, the sum of 838,687.80 was ex- pended by the U. S. Commissary out of the savings on flour for fresh vegetables, kraut, pickles, cheese, butter, fruits, and other ex- tras not included in government rations. For some time before the close of the war, the 'Home' was oro- vided with help by details from the Ninety-Fourth Company of the Veteran Reserve Corps, second battalion, "who," says General Stonk, "at all hours, night and day, have willingly and energeti- cally prepared and cooked meals for soldiers in transit coming in unexpectedly, weary and needing refreshments, who would otherwise have been compelled to go on their way with their hun- ger unsatisfied." LADIES' HOME. Though in no way connected with the " Soldiers' Home," the "Ladies' Home" was an off-shoot of the same watchful care to which that institution owed its existence, and should be noticed here to complete the sketch of the provision made for soldiers and their LADIES' HOME. 367 families in temporary need of aid. During the winter of 1863 and 1804, a great many women visited Indianapolis to see their rela- tions in the army, who, they had learned or supposed were de- tained there, and allowing their affection to conquer their pru- dence, they very often arrived with no money, or very little, with no acquaintances in the city, and no means of providing for them- selves while there or returning home. They were also subjected, where they had money, to the perils of robbery or extortion from the villains who infested the Capital to prey upon the army or fat- ten on its garbage. They needed help constantly, and Ivcqurntly applied for it to the State officers, or the Sanitary Commission, who gave it sometimes in money, or passes, and sometimes in pay- ment of hotel bills and other necessary expenses. But this irregu- lar and unsytematic aid, being very inadequate to the emergency, Governor Morton resolved to establish a " Home " on the same plan as that for soldiers, where soldiers' wives could be sheltered, lodged and subsisted comfortably, and saved from the rapacity of the harpies that threatened them at every turn. To this end Quartermaster General Stone and Dr. Hannaman were directed to obtain some suitable building convenient to the Union Depot, and furnish it. This they did, and in December, 1863, the " Ladies' Home" was opened in a large brick building convenient to the Union Depot, under charge of Lieutenant J. G. Greenwalt and wife, whose care and energy are justly commended by General Stone in his report of January, 1865. The following statement of the number of women and children accommodated by it will best exhibit its value : 18G 3— December 51 women, 28 chil.lien. 18G4— January 55 women, 45 children 1864— February 93 women, 67 children. 1864— March 69 women, 47 children. 1864— April ^^ women, 58 children. jgg^ jyj^y 76 women, 51 children. 1864-June 55 women, 31 children. 1864— July • 43 women, 29 children. 18G4-August 69 women, 36 children. 1864-September ^4 women, ]8 chddren. 1864-October ^^ ^«'"^°' ^^ children- 1864-November 71 women, 45 children- 1864-December 64 women, 33 chddren. Subsistence for the « Ladies' Home" was furnished through the " Soldiers' Home." 368 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. REFUGEES. Anotlier object of loyal care was the refugees from the rebel States, who, either expelied by the violence of their neiglibors, or reduced to want by the ravages of hostile armies, fled to the North for safety and subsistence. They arrived in a state of deplorable destitution, not only of means of maintaining themselves, but of information as to country and the people. They did not know where to go or what to do. They were generally left in the depot at Indianapolis witiiout direction or assistance, and left to shelter themselves as best they could in out-houses, or any accessible place till the charity of the neighbors provided them with something better. The State officers, as far as they had information, supplied the necessitous. In January, 186-5, about one thousand rations and fifty blankets had been issued for this purpose through the " Soldiers' Home." An organization of citizt-ns for their relief was formed, and a large building procured for an asylum and comfortably fur- nished. The Charitable Association took charge of it, and gave good accomodations to about fifty refugees. PERMANENT HOME FUR DISABLED SOLDIERS. The close of the war brought with it the duty of making j)ro- vision for the permanent care of disabled soldiers, not only as an act of humanity, but as a debt due to long and faithful ?^ervic?. There were thousands of these in the State, but many were not so entirely disabled that they might not to some extent provide for themselves, and many more could depend upon the care of rela- tives. But after all allowances for these, there remained many who could have no hope of the comfortable ending of an arduous life except in some permanent asylum which would be to them a home. On the loth day of May, 1865, Governor Morton published an address* to the people of the State suggesting the outline of an organization, and plan of action, for this purpose. It was proposed that a Board of Directors, composed of one from each Congressional District, should be appointed and be incorporated. It was to select an eligible place for an asylum, and rely for its means of operation upon popular contributions. On the 25th, he addressed a circularf letter to the clergy of the State, urging them to move their congre- jrations to cooperate in the work. On the same day a meeting was held at Indianapolis to carry out the Governor's suggestion. It selected Governor Mouton as President of the Board of Directors. ^Appenilix, D.ic. No. 144. ^Appendix, Uoc. No. 145. RESULTS OP THE TEMPORARY "lIOME." SG9 Jamks M. Ray as Treasurer, William Hannaman as Secre;ary, and Rev. J. Hogarth Lozier as Financial Agent. The District Directors were : First District, Philip Hornerook, of Evansville. Second District, Jessk J. Brown, of New Albany. Third District, Joseph L 'irwin, of Columbus. Fourth District, Will Cumback, of Greensburg. Fifth District, William Grose, of New Castle. Sixth District, John Cobuhn, of Indianapolis. Seventh District, John A. Matsox, of Greencastle. Eighth District, Samuel Kiiiic Patrick, of La Fayette. Ninth District, John B. Niles, of La Porte. Tenth District, Isaac Jenkinson, of Fort Wayne. Eleventh District, John U. I^ettit, of ¥/abash. The announcement of the formation of a society to establish an asylum was followed immediately by applications for admission,, or provision of some kind, from a number of d sabled soldiers. The City Council of Indianapolis gave the association the use of the City Hospital buildings. There the Home was opened on the 10th of August, 1865, under the superintendence of Dr. M. M. Wisharu. The necessity for it, says Governor Morton, in his message to the Legislature at the extra session of November, 1865, " is demon- strated by the fact that already forty-six disabled soldiers have been admitted, twenty-one of whom, after remaining some time, and re- ceiving the best care and medical treatment, have been discharged v/ith the prospect of being sufficiently restored to enable them to care for themselves, and one has died, leaving twenty-four to be cared for. Of these, seventeen are totally disabled by old age, wounds or disease." Although the Directors appealed to the people, setting forth their plan, and the probable sum necessary to carry it out, and made strenuous efibrts to obtain the means, they met with less success than they deserved. The people had been heavily burthened by the demands of the war, which the excite- ment of the times, and the unusual emulation, prevented them from feeling seriously, till the collapse following the excitement brought an intensified sense of the drain that had been made upon them. The Governor in his message expresses doubt whether it will be possible to establish an asylum by voluntary contribution. The amount received at that time was only $4,994 55, with !20,000 00 subscriptions outstanding, and so inadequate a fund as Vol. 1.— 25. 870 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. the whole would be if paid up, fully justified the Governoi's ap- prehensions. He recommended "the Legislature to take prompt measures to secure the object in view." He also stated that he had made application to the General Government to turn over to the State the military hospital at .JefTersonville for an asylum. The consent was given, but the situation of tins hospital and other objections being in the way, it was never used. A memorial was presented to the Legislature, at the same session, by the Board of Directors, a.s!dng an appropriation, and, as arguments, setting forth their inability to meet the many demands upon them, the necessity of a support to the families of disabled soldiers, suggesting the plan they thought best adapted to the emergency, and stating the probable immber of persons who would need the aid of the asylum. They estimate from reports from one- fifth of the State that the totally disabled would amount to about 828; i^artially disabled to 2,760, and the orphans of soldiers to 9,036. The plan of an asylum is staled thus : " We would procure a tract of good land suflicient to yield all necessary vegetables for the ' Home.' Upon the ground we would provide suitable habita- tions, for single men, families and orjjlians. Having convened these all in one community, we would alford them all possible facilities for contributing to their own support. This would be done chiefly by erecting work shops, where such trades could be carried on as disabled men could work at — such as making brooms, baskets, brushes, shoes &c. Here the remaining faculties of par- tially disabled men could be educated to good trades, whereby they might support themselves independently outside of the ' Home' in a few years, if they should desire it." By bringing families into the community, the Directors could educate the children, orphans or otherwise, and teach them trades. They also proposed to estab- lish a school for young men who wi^e disabled, where they could learn book-keeping, telegraphing and other branches which would enable them to obtain their own support. On the oth of January, 1866, an earnest appeal was made to the people for help, which was so far successful that the Board was ena- bled to purchase for $8,500, early in the ensuing spring, the property known as the " Knightstown Springs," a healthy and beautiful site, possessing the advantage, whatever it may be, of a medicinal spring of some celebrity, and containing fifty-four acres of very good ground. There was one large building, formerly a hotel, and several small cottages, erected for the use of invalids, resorting to soldiers' orphans' home. 371 the springs, upon the premises, which "afforded ample room," says the Superintendent, Dr. Wishard, "for one hundred patients," but m need of repairs. The asylum was established in the' new location on the 26th of April following, and it will doubtless remain there as long as the necessity for it exists. In his message of January 11th, 1867, Governor Morton says the expense of maintaining the ' Home ' until the 30rh of November, 1866, exclusive of the cost of the new site, was $17,060 84. Adding the cost of the site, the whole expenditure made in behalf of dis* abled soldiers, from August 1S65, to the last of November 1866, was $25,560 84. During that time there had been admitted 224 disabled soldiers, of whom 134 had been discharged and 14 had died. The Governor again urged the Legislature to equalize the burthen of maintaining the asylum by making it dependent upon taxation, the only mode ef making all pay alike for what all are equally bound to contribute. The Legislature adopted the Governor's sug- gestion, and on the 1st of March, 1867, made the Home for Disa- bled Soldiers one of the benevolent institutions of the State, with a provision for soldiers' orphans.* A Board of Trustees was ap- pointed, and an appropriation of $50,000 made to erect suitable buildings and provide the necessary means to maintain the inmates l)roperly. The Trustees, Captain H. B. Hill of Carthage, Chas. S. Hubbard of Knightstown and William Hannaman of Indianapolis, organized on the 27th of March, 1867, by electing William Hannaman President, Charles S. Hubbard Secretary, M. M. Wishard, M. D., Superintendent, and Henry W. McCune Steward. A fine, substantial brick building, 153 feet long by 63 feet wide, and three stories and an attic high, has been erected at a cost of about $55,000. The corner stone was laid with impressive cere- monies one the 4th of July, 1867, by the Society of the Grand Army of the Republic. The old buildings have been repaired and converted into the " Orphans' Home" contemplated by the Legislature. The Superintendent states, in his report for 1868, that since the opening of the " Home" 400 disabled soldiers had been admitted, of whom 31 had died, 221 been discharged in an improved condition, leaving 148 still in its care. Orphans' Home. The provisions of the Legislature for the Or- phans of Soldiers have been carried out as far as practicable, as already stated, by the conversion of the old building into an asy- lum for them, and providing them with adequate care and tuition — — ^ .. . • *Appendix Doc.

It was full to its utmost capacity on Thanksgiving day, November 26rh, 186S, and numerous applications were daily made for admis- sion, but refused for want of room. There were then B3 orphans in the "Home," and the number conld easily have been increased with adequate acconimodations to three hundred. CONCLUSION. This attempt, necessarily imperfect from the want of space to enable a full account to be given of many operations con- nected with the efft)rts for the relief of our soldiers and their families, will yet afford some idea of the munificence with which the people provided, and the zeal and success with which the State authorities a]iplied, the means to fill out the defective provisions of the government and to supply the vast and immense demands of a soldiery to whom war and want were unlike unknown, and upon whom privations fell with double severity. It is at once an exhibi- tion of benevolence and organizing intelligence, of a sense of pa- triotic duty and a perception of the manner in which that duty can be best discharged. The people supplied the deficiencies of their government, and showed their al)ility to make it strong, prompt and enduring enough for any exigency in which a nation can be placed. Probably even more than the prosecution of the war itself, the efforts to sustain ir, which made no appearance in the reports of generals, or the histories of battles, will justify to the world the pride of Americans in themselves and their Govern- ment. ALLOTMENT COMMISSIONER— PAY AGENCY. The sudden organization of vast armies in a country, whose peo- ple had hitherto been mainly engaged in the peaceful pursuits of agriculture and the mechanic arts, created emergencies and revealed wants unfclt in our previous limited military experience, and which were unprovided for by congressional or legislative enactments. The soldiers of the Union armies were, as a general rule, repre- sentatives of the industrial classes, who had laid aside their usual avocations in obedience to the dictates of patriotisu), leaving fami- lies, or other relatives, wh( lly or partially dependent upon their pay for support. Under these circumstances the safe and speedy transmission of money from the soldiers in the field to the depend- soldiers' allotments. 373 ents at home, was a matter of great importance, and attended with many difficulties. Army mails were tard}^, irregular and unreliable, often being placed in charge of irresponsible parties temporarily detailed for that purpose; express companies were seldom desirous of extending their operations beyond the lines of well-guarded railroads, and the exigencies of the service frequently excluded them from all roads in the vicinity of active military operations. Detailing responsible officers from the different commands to convey remittances, was impracticable, for the class of oflieers enjoying the contidence of the men to such an extent as to qualify them for e-o responsible a mission, were the ones most needed in the field, and had not this been the case, they frequently could not be spared at times when payments were made, or details could not be obtained. In some of the States, bankers and brokers engaged in the business, but their charges consumed a considerable proportion of the funds transmitted, aiid this plan soon fell into disrepute. ALLOTMENT SYSTEM. The necessity of having some convenient and safe means for the transmission of soldiers' funds, was observed by Governor Morton soon after our first three-year regiments went to the field. He ac- cordingly devised a systeui which is fully set forth in tlie following circular: Executive Department, Indianapolis, Indiana, November 20, 1861. With ,1 view to facilitate the transmission of funds by our troops in the fiehl to tlieir families, and in addition (o focilities afforded by the Government by allot, ment rolls, tlie undersigned has effected an arrangement with the Branch Bank in this city, by which funds may be conveyed from Indianapolis to any part of the State through a certain, safe and responsible channel, and without cost to the soldier. A responsible agent will be appointed by the State, wliose duty it will be to visit each regiment, in advance of payment, and to receive from each volunteer such funds as he desires to transmit. A book of blank drafts will be furnished to the com- manding oflicer of each regiment. Any volunteer desiring to send money to his family at home, will draw a draft in favor of the party to whom he desires to send the amount. At the same time he will deposit with the agent of this State, the amount he desires to send. The agent will prepare triplicate schedules of the amount received, from whom received, and to whom to be paid. One copy to be retained by the agent, one copy to be left with the Colonel of the regiment, and the third copy for the use of the bank. The money being deposited at the bank by the agent, the cashier wil ndorse each draft drawn by the volunteer. The draft will be sent by the agent to 374 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. whomsoever it may bo payable, and on indorsement by that person will be paid at any of the branches in the State. Commanding officers of regiments are requested to have this read to their regi- ments, and all officers are requested to cooperate with the undersigned, in aflbrding facilities so much needed by our troops in the field. Oliver P. Morton, Governor of Indiana. In December, 1861, Congress passed an act requiring the Presi- dent to appoint Commissioners for each State having volunteers in the service of the United Slates, whose duty it should be to visit the several Departments of the army in which volunteers from their respective States were serving, and procure from them certified al- lotments of their pay to their families or friends. On these allot- ments the several paymasters, at each regular payment of troops^ were required to give drafts payable in New York to the order of the persons designated in the allotments. This law, from which much was expected, accomplished but little towards the desired end. Its provisions, though apparently simple and easy of execution, were attended with so many embar- rassments as to be almost impracticable. In some instances where allotments had been made in due form they were entirely disre- garded by the paymasters, who asserted, in explanation of tin ir conduct, that the law required the performance of impossibilities. They soon ceased to pay any attention to the law which became, practically, a dead letter. Throughout the war every measure designed to induce the soldiers to send their money home, or 1o facilitate its transmission, met with strenuous and persistent opposition on the part of Sutlers. Their gains were promoted by the expenditure of the soldiers' money in the field, and they could not be expected to feel a very lively interest for the needy families at home. After tiie passage of the act abolishing the Sutler's lien, they became particularly fertile in expedients for diverting the largest possible amount of money from the home channel. Many of the officers were men of limited means. Receiving their pay irregularly, some tinies at intervals of many months, and being obliged to furnish their own subsistence, they not unfrequently found it necessary to resort to the Sutlers of their respective regiments for pecuniary accommodations. Through officers, thus unavoidably placed under obligations for money loaned them in extreme necessity, Sutlers were able to embarrass FIELD PAY AGENT3. 375 the enforcement of the allotment act, and in varous ways to increase their trade with the enlisted men. Realizing the imperative necessity of providing some means of remitting money from the field that would commend itself to the confidence of the soldiers, Governor Morton, early in 1862, de- cided to appoint a number of Agents, of well-known probity and correct bu>iness habits, to visit the different departments of the army, where Indiana soldiers were serving, to receive such amounts as they desired to send to their families or friends and return with the funds thus gathered to convenient localities in the State to be forwarded by express or the best available conveyance, to the per- sons for whom the same was intended. The principal Agents en- trusted with these responsible duties were Thomas A. Goodv/in, Esq., Hon. David C. Bkanham, Rev. E. B. Kilroy, General Asahel Stonb, (Commissary General,) B. F. Tuttle, Esq., Colonel John McCrea, Lawrence M. Vance, Esq., and Mr. James Hook, Agent of the Vigo County Soldiers' Aid Society. Messrs. Branham and Goodwin held conunissions from the President, under the Allot- ment act of Congress, but as said act made no provision for trans- portation or necessary expenses incurred, and as the system had never been employed among the Indiana troops, their commissions were of no practical value, except as an indorsement from the high- est authority of the Government. In addition to the onerous and responsible duties connected with the collection and remission of money, the Agents were entrusted by the Governor to look after the welfare and relieve the necessities of sick and disabled soldiers of Indiana Regiments; to assist in pro- curing furloughs and transportation in all proper cases ; to co- operate with the State Sanitary Commission and its branches, and with the various Soldiers' Aid Societies in procuring and forward- ing hospital supplies and sanitary stores; and, in all cases, so far as possible, without undue interference with the military authorities, and paying proper regard to the interests of the service, to extend the parental care of the State over all her sons in field or hospital. The Commissioners entered upon the discharge of their varied duties with zeal and fidelity, extending their labors to every depart- ment in which commands from this State were serving. Through their exertions furloughs were obtained for many who were lan- guishing in hospitals ; through their advisory suggestions and active co-operation the Sanitary Commission and auxiliary Societies were 376 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. enabled to extend the sphere of their operations. Abuses and wroiiqs wliich they could not correct were reported to the Execu- tive, and nneasures instituted by him, through the proper channels, for their immediate correction. Between the date of their appoinl- ment and the close of the year — from April 1o December, 1862 — they collected, brought home, and distributed eight hundred and ten thousand four hundred and fifty dollars. These moneys were distributed in accordance with the directions of the soldiers send- ing them, in more than fifteen thousand packages, without charge, save express charges from the Agents' re.-idences to points ot des- tination, and without the occurrence of a single case of loss or de- falcation. Four hundred and fifty-two thousand dollars, or more than half of the entire amount collected, passed through the hands of TnoMAS A. GooDwi:-.-, who devoted his time exclusively to the duties of the Agency. The system adopted saved many thousands of dollars, which would otherwise have gone to Sutlers and gam- blers. Hundreds of men, careless of necessities of distant friends, and equally regardless of their own future wants, were induced by the example of their more provident companions to remit portions of tlieir pay. The relief thus secured to the families of the care- less and improvident prevented want and suffering in many homes, and proved the most benificent feature of the Agency, But this system, though accomplishing all that was expected from it, was not free from serious objections, the principal one of which was the great risk incurred in carrying large sums of money thro.igh sections of country infested l)y guerrilla bands and those marauding hordes which generally hang upon the rear of armies in the field. Mr. Goodwin frecjuently found himself at a distance from our guarded lines of communication, with a valise filled with money, and could obtain neither guard nor transportation. In- cumbered with this sacred trust, which represented the food and clothing of thousands of needy wouumi and children, he was obliged to proceed on foot and alone through those wild and dangerous regions between the advancing army and its base. At Holly Springs he was in imminent danger of being captured by a portion of the force under Van Dorx, an unexpected movement having placed him in the immediate vicinity of the rebels. Re- turning from a trip to the army stationed near Murfreesboro with letters containing 8120.000. packed in a trunk, he lost sight (f it for several hours, through the misconduct of an unfaithful porter. TWO MILLION DOLLARS COLLECTED. 377 Persvonal risks at that time were esteemed as of little consequence among those familiar with army life, but the financial risks con- stantly incurred in the prosecution of this business were greater than common carriers assumed, and too hazardous to warrant their continuance. The numerous escapes of Mr. Goodwin, the only pay agent then operatiiig to any considerable extent, made it appa- rent that the object for which the plan was devised must be abandoned and some safer mode adopted. The Congressional allotment act fm-nished the central idea from which Mr. Goodwin, with the advice and approval of Governor Morton, elaborated a system that promised to work successfully. Instead of sending commissioners to the field to procure allotments, as contemplated in the act of Congress, each command was pro- vided wiih rolls on which each soldier could specify the amount he desired to send, and the name and residence of the person to whom it should be sent. The paymaster and pay agent, each being pro- vided v/i!h a copy of the rolls, the former could give a check on New York for the aggregate amount allotted by each coir^pany, which the latter could cash and remit in accordance with the indi- vidual alu^tments. The Congressional plan made no provision for aggregating the allotments of a company, but required paymasters to draw a separate check on New York for the allotment of each man. The first of these rolls were sent out early in 1863, and most of the regiments immediately commenced to avail themselves of the faciliiies thus offered. The system combined the important requi- sites of safety, celerity and economy, and rapidly grew in favor with the troops. Mr. Goodwin continued in charge of the office, which was established at Indianapolis, conducting its immense business with ability and integrity, from the inauguration of the allotment system till most of the Indiana troops were mustered out of the service. During the period nearly two millions of dollars were received and transmitted in about forty thousand different packages without the loss of a single package. Among the many novel institutions called into existence to meet the sudden emergencies imposed upon the loyal people of the country in the suppression of " the great rebellion," there was none which produced more beneficial results, at a comparatively trivial expense, than the Indiana Allotment Commission. 378 ADJUTANT GENERAL "S REPORT. SOLDIERS' MONUMENTS. A grateful people can Jiever be unmindful of its patriotic duty to perpetuate the memory of the brave men who have laid down their lives in defense of the National Government. This has been done in this State by the publication of the military history of each officer and soldier, living and dead, who participated in the late war; and the record, imperfect as it may be, will be an enduring monument to the sacrifices and services of those whose gallant deeds it aims to commemorate. But a record of this kind, hovy'ever complete, does not preclude the propriety of erecting in the several counties nmral monuments, of granite or marblD, which have been in all ages of the world a gratifying and beautiful means of per- j)etuating the memories of heroes and patriots who by their valor have " saved the State," as well as of dear and loved friends and relations " gone before." The people of Indiana require neither admonition nor example to excite their lasting gratitude towards oiir deceased soldiers; a just pride in the memory of their heroic deeds is already built up in the hearts of our citizens, and as opportunity offers, will find tangible and enduring expression, befitting the sentiments they en- tertain, and in k(>cping with our war record as a State, and the character of the priceless services so worthy of commemoration. A plan has been devised which seems to meet with almost uni- versal approval — the erection by the citizens of each county of a monument bearing the names of their deceased soldiers, and the names and dates of the battles in which they fell, or the places where they died. In compliance with a very general expression of public opinion, the Legislature, at the special session of 18G5, |)assed an Act* authorizing Boards of County Commissioners to receive subscriptions from individuals and make appropriations from the County Treasuries for the erection of soldiers' monuments, and to purchase or receive by donation suitable sites for the same at or near the seat of Justice of each county. This Act is founded on the assumption that the objects attained by the war are a couunon and precious heritage, and the perpetuation of the memory of those who gave up their lives in securing those objects, a common and sacred duty. Few will dispute the correctness of this principle, or object to its practical application. ^■Appeudix, Document No. C9. MONUMENT AT GREENCASTLE. 379 A few counties have already erected monuments; and in many others, measures have been adopted which bid fair to be productive of substantial results. Doubtless greater progress would have been made, in most of the counties, had they not been left, at the close of the war with heavy debts, incurred in paying bounties and reliev- ing indigent and distressed soldiers' families. Happily most of these debts are now licjuidated, and we may confidently look for speedy and appropriate action, on the part of county authorities, in providing, from the public funds, which is most equable, for the erection of suitable and enduring testimonials to the memory of their deceased soldiers. MONUMENT AT GREEN CASTLE. In 1865 an organization was effected in Putnam county under the name of "The Putnam County Soldiers' Monument Associa- tion," with Colonel Joun R. Mahan, as President, William D. All.en, as Treasurer, and David Jones, as Secretary. The object of the association was to erect a monument at the City of Green Castle, to the memory of the soldiers of Putnam county whose lives were lost in the war of the rebellion, the necessary funds to be raised by voluntary contributions. The eminent Sculptor, Thomas D. Jones, Esq., of Cincinnati, was commissioned to prepare appropriate plans and estimates, which were duly submitted and adopted. The desiirii of the monument is artistic and beautiful. The base or pedestal is of Putnam county granite, eight feet high, a portion of which is handsomely paneled, upon which the names of the deceased soldiers are inscribed ; above, on the sides of the monu- ment, are battle scenes beautifully sculptured in alto relievo after the manner of ancient has reliefs. Surmounting the pedestal, or main body of the monument, is a life-size statue, six feet in hight, representing an American Soldier, executed by Mr. Jones in mar- ble, and regarded by accomplished art-critics as the most success- ful portrayal of the "gallant volunteer" yet achieved in this coun- trv. The enure hight of the monument from the surface ot the ground to the apexes fourteen feet; total cost, ten thousand dol- lars, all of which was raised in Putnam county through the ener- getic efforts of the efficient officers and members of the associa- lion, by voluntary subscription. 880 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. MONUMENT AT N 1) f- E S V I I, 1. !■ . Tbf* momiment erected to the memory of the soldiers of iluin- ilton county, i^taiids on the highest and most conspicuous .>^pot in the cemetery at Noblesville. It consists of an octagonal slialY twenty-two and a-half feet high, each side measuring eight feet in widih, resting on a tripple base, the sections of which are eight, six and four feet square, respectively. A perched engle surmounts the shaft, and on each of the four sides, corresponding t£> the principal points of the compass and six feet from the top, is a spread eagle holdins: a scroll. On the first of tliest; scrolls is inscribed a memo- rial to tlie Hamilton county soldiers, and on the reiriaining thrr-e are the names of all field and staff oflicers who entered the service from that county. On the eight sides of the shafr and on the four sides of each of the two upp-'imost sections of the base are the names and rank of all the line oliicers and enlisted men, living antJ dead, arranged in their respective organizations, conimencing with the oldest. The national flag enfolds the top of the shaft, beauti- fully sculptured, al)ove the spread eagles. The hight of the structure is twenty-four feet; weight 35,000 pounds; material, the best marble. It was built by Messrs. Jack- son & HoLLOWAY, of Anderson, Indiana, at, a cost of five thou- sand dollars, which sum was appropriated from th(* county fund? by the Board of Commissioners under the act of I860. The monument is pronounced by connoisseurs in mural archi- teciure on'" of the most beautiful in any part of this country, cred- itable not only to the liberality and patriotism o{ the citizens of Hamilton county, but to the taste and artistic skill oi its design- ers and builders. On the 4th of July, 1868, the monument was formally and ap- propriately dedicated. A large concourse of ex-soldiers of the Union army, and many citizens, were present, including delega- tions from Indianapolis, Tipton, Kokomo, Peru and other cities and towns of central Indiana. The orator of the day was Gov- ernor Conrad Bakkr, who took for his subject " Our National Union." Refening to the monument he used the following elo- quent and beautiful language: ''It has been the custom ol' nearly all nations to dedicate temples, altars, statue* and other structures, as well as particular places, to sacred purposes. It prevailed DEDICATION OF MONUMENT AT NOBLESVILLE. 381 both among the vrorshippcrs of tlie true God and among tlic heatlicn. In the sacred scriptures wc read of the dedication of the tabernacle, of altars, of the first and secoHd temples, and even of tiie houses of private persons. The heathen nations also I'.ad dedications of templos, altars and images of their gods. The celebration of the anniversuries of great; national events may also be traced to a remote anti- quity. The Jews eveiy year celebi-ated for eight days the anniversary of the dedi- cation of tlieir temple. We meet together to-day for the double purpose of dedi- cating as sacred to the memory of heroic pati-iots, living and dead, the beautiful monument before us, erected by the patriotic liberality of Hamilton countv, and to rx;lebiate the anniversary of the dedication by our fathers of the Temple of Ameri- can Liberty and Independence. The beautiful monument in whose presence "we stand, attests the fact that the county authorities and people of Hamilton county know how to appreciate the struggle through which the nation has recently passed, and how to e.=5tim;»te the gallant sei vices of their own citizens who took so distin- guished a part in the grand strug^de. Grand in its proportions; grand in tlie per- severance, courage and tenacity with which the friends of the (jovernment main- tained their righteous cause ; grand in the liberality with which the loyal people of the country responded to the calls of the Government for men and money to save the nation's hfe; grand in the holy ])iinc!ples for which we contended; and grand beyond expression in the triumph of truth and justice, of llboity and law, as the result of the contest. " Without pretending to possess the necessary statistical information on vrhich to base a correct estimate, yet, in the absence of such accurate informaiion, I think I hazard nothing in saying that few communities having no gi-eater popu'ation. did more, or even so much, in contributing volunteer soldiers to tlie armies of the Union as your own noble county. You knew how to be liberal in contributing the flower of vour manhood to the national defense during the war, and this monument testi- fies that now, when peace has come, you know equally well how to exhibit an en- lightened liberality in j)erpetuating the noble part taken by your ov;n citizens in the contest wdiicli saved our nationality and continued us one people, having oiu; Con- stitution, one Government, and one Destiny. " I congratulate you in view of your achievements during the Avar, and I congrat_ ulate you that you have so generously perpetuated, by the erection of this noble object, what you so gloriously achieved. " This monument is Inscribed to the heroes of Hamilton county, who participated in the suppression of the great rebellion of 18G1. The-c heroes embrace twenty- two comj)any organizations, representing fourteen Indiana regiments, viz: the Sixth, Thirty-Ninth, Fifty-Seventy, Sixtieth, Sixty-Third, Seventy-Fifth, One Hundred and First, One Hundred and Seventeenth, One Hundred and Thirtieth, One Hun- dred and Thirty-Sixth, One Hundred and Forty-Seventh, One Hundred and Fifty- Fifth, and the Second and Fifth Cavalry, besides more than two hundred soldiers who v/ere citizens of this county, and who joined organizations not formed within your county. This is a recoid of which you may well be proud and which will be the admiration of your posterity long after those now living shall have passed a^vay. By this structure you not only record your admiration of the virtue, the valor and the patriotism of your own citizens who rushed to the standard of the country in the 382 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. hour of its greatest danger, but you also record your devotion to the Union for which they fought and for which many of them died." Cdlonel Ja:\ies B. Black, Major John D. Evans inid Captain Thkodore W. McCoy, also made adclresses appropriate to tlie hallowed occa.sion. The monument was presented to th(? people of Hamilton county by the sculptor, Mr. E. M. .Jackson, in the following fitting words: " We have met upon this our nation's biith day lor tlie purpose of unveil- ing and presenling to the citizens of Hamilton county this lu-autiful monu- ment. It is proper that such a presentation should take place upon such a day. Our memorits revert to the days of 1776, when our fort-fathers, in solemn council assembled, declared that the colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent. " The generations which succeeded tliem have given every evidence of the same !^pirit of patriotism which imbued their hearts, and have erected mon- ument after monument in memory of their fallen heroes. So it is with us in our day. An unnatural and cruel war has passed away. In its cau:se many have fallen, and many hearthstones are desolate; many sons, brothers and husbands have fought their lust fight, and have given Ike imperishable crown in victory "Their names and their memories are engraved as indelibly upon our hearts as they are engraved upon this stone. We need no better evidence of the spiiit of reverence fur uur brave and gallant soldier.^ than is exhibited by the generous liberality of your County Commissiotiers in the purchase and erection of this marble shaft, draped so appropriately with the banners of our country, the Stars and Stripes. Upon its summit is perchtd the American Eagle, emblem of freedom, inviting the oppressed of every land to shelter under its wide spread wing.s. ''In erecting this monument, your Commissioners simply did their duty. Those boys had the promise when tiiey left their homes ihit they would be I'emembered. How nobly has Hamilton county responded, in having en- graved not only her dead but her living heroes, who fought on many a bloody bati^e-field with Spartan zeal, that they might retrieve, in pirt, for the loss of their fellow comrades, and prove to us that a republican form of govern- ment was a success, and to the world a guarantee of universal freedom. "And, in conclusion, we now* present and commit into your hands and keejiing, through Governor Baki:r, this monument. Upon its smooth and polished tablets are engraved the names of Hamilton county's gallant de- fenders. May the names of our fallen ones ever be in our remembrance. May the hand of charity and of friendship be ever extended to the heart- stricken loved ones upon earth. May this beautiful monument ever call to our minds that love of country and that heart-felt patriotism of which every true American is a noble defender. And may the glory and renown of America prove as imperishable as this graven stone." MONUMENT AT PRINCETON, 383 H(in. James O'Brien, on behalf of the Board of Commissioners, also made a short presentation address. He said: "This monument has been erected by the citizens of Hamilton countj-, through their proper legal representatives, the Board of Commissioners, in memory of our soldiers and seamen, who, in campaign and cruise, impeiiied their lives to protect, preserve and defend our existing institutions and form of Government. In the name of the citizens, and by virtue of the authority confided in me by their proper representatives, the Board of Commissioners, I now present this monument for dedication." Colonel William Garver, on behalf of the people, spoke as follows : " Mr. O'Briex — The beautiful, appropriate and enduring memorial whicli the patriotic people of Hamilton county, through their Commissioners, have erected to the memory of the noble men who, in the hour of the nation's trial, came forward and devoted their lives to their country, is gratefully ac- cepted by the surviving soldiers as well as by the friends of the living and dead heroes. We return through you, to the Commissioners and people of Hamilton county, as well as tio the builders of the monument, our heartfelt thanks." ]Mr. John Pontious then closed the ceremonies with the follow- ing dedicatory remarks: ''The monument having been presented and acoepted, in the name of my country and in behalf of the citizens of Hamilton county, I do solemnly ded icate this monument to the memory of the brave defenders of our Union, who enlisted from Hamilton county under the glorious banner of our Re- public and imperiled their lives in defence of the principles of liberty and happiness of the people of the Union. May we ever revere and cherish their memories in our hearts and emulate their many virtues." While these exercises were going on, the ceremony of wreathing and otherwise decorating the monument was being performed, tenderly and appropriately, by a committee of ladies. • MONUMENT AT PRINCETON. The sm-viviiig members of the Fifty-eighth Regiment Indiana Volunteers, aided to a limited extent by private citizens, have erected on the court house grounds at Princeton, Gibson county, an elegant marble shaft, 30 feet high, to perpetuate the memory of their deceased companion in arms. The local committee consisted of Dr. Andrew Lewis, Joseph Devin, William Kurtz and John Kell, Esqs. The contract for build mg the monument was awarded to C. Rule & Coleman, of Cincinnati, Ohio, on the 12th of November, 1863, and on the Fourth of July, 18(35, it was completed and dedicated with appro- 384 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. priate ceremonies. The entire cost of the structure amounted to more than three thousand dollars. On the north side are crossed swords, flag andwrcatli; on the cast side, a small shield resting on branches of oak and myrtle, crossed; underneath is a large wreath encircling t!)e words — "KRKCTBD by TUE SURVIVOliS OF TllK FIFTY-KIGTH RKGIMEN T INDIANA VOLUNTEEHS, TO THE MEMOhY OF THEIR DECEASED COMltADES;" OU the south side is a knapsack supporting crossed muskets and flags, and a soldier's cap; on the west side is the coat of arms of the Slate of Indiana. On the several sides are the following incriptions: south, "Stone River;" west, "Lavergne;" north, "Mission Ridge;" east, "Chicamauga" and " Honor the Flag." The names of all the dead of the regiment are inscribed in various positions on the dif- ferent sides. At the base are four small columns. An American eagle surmounts the shaft, holding the national ensign in his beak and talons. MONUMENT TO MRS. liLIZA E. GEORGE. A beautiful monument was erected at Fort Wayne in 1866, by the idtizens of that city, to the memory of Mrs. Eliza E. Geohge, whose patriotic services in behalf of our sick and wounded soldiers will be long and gratefully remembered. 'J'he Fort Wayne Gazette gives the following description of the monument: " It is made of the tmfst white marble, and based upon solid mason work of I'me and stone, four feet deep under ground. The base is three feet four inches square and sixteen inches thick. The sir-base is thirty inches square and fourteen inches thick. The die is twenty-two inches square and and Iwonty-t'our inches high; the cop or moulding above the die, twenty inches square and seven inches thick ; and the spire five feet four inches high, tapering to the top in fine proportion, and crowned with an urn of in- cense. The total higbt of the monument above the sod is twelve feet and four inches. '■The lettering and carving are very finely done On the second or sir- base, east front, the name of Mrs. Gkoroe is cut in relief On the die is a de- sign intended to commemorate her labors among our sick and wounded sol- diers, devised, we understand, by Solomon D. Bayi>ess, Esq. It is a scene near Kenesaw Mountain, where, as many a poor soldier will remember, Mra. George was most active in her labor of love. A wounded soldier sits near the door of a hospital tent, leaning against a tree, with his cup and canteen by his side. Over the camp fire are the kettle and coffee pot. The nurse is passing from the fire with a cujj of smoking coflVe to the soldier, who extends his hand to receive it. On the spire is cut a brquet of flowers. On the south front are the following inscriptions : MONUMENT TO COLONEL WILLIAM B. CARROLL. 385 INDIANA SANITARY COMMISSION. Ladies Aid Socety of Fort Wayne, Indiana. "These inscriptions are very plain and prominent, and appropriate as these societies rendered Mrs. George invaluable aid in her mission of mercy. On the north front of the die is the following inscription : MHS. ELIZA E. GEORGE, Born at Bridgeport, Vermont, October 20, 1 808. Died at Wilvwgton, North Carolina, May 9, 18C5. "'After faithfully aiding with her friendly hands, and cheering with her Christian and motherly voice, the sick and wounded .soldiers of our army on the march, on the battle-field, and in the hospital, for over three years, the heroine fell at her post, honored and loved by all who knew her.' " MONUMENT TO COLONEL WILLIAM B. CARROLL. The citizens of Lafayette, in 1S67, erected a handsome and ap- propriate monument to the memory of Colonel William B. Car- KOLL, Tenth Regiment Indiana Volunteers, who was killed in bat- tle at Chicamanga, September 19th, 1863. The Lafayette Journal of September 3, 1867, thus desciibes the monument: " Without pomp or ceremony, the monument to the memory of Colonel W. B. Carroll was yesterday erected over his remains. It was the request of his family that no public display should be made on the occasion, so that no one was present except the workmen, and one or two friends who served with him in the army, and who have been active in getting up the monu- ment. It is located in the southeast corner of Greenwood Cemetery, upon the family burial lot, where rest the body of the late Colonel, and a child who died in 18G3. The limestone base, three feet three inches square and two feet thick, is firmly imbedded on a solid foundation a little more than two feet deep. The marble base above the limestone is two feet six inches square and ten inches thick. Upon this rests the die, two feet square and two feet six inches high, upon which are the inscriptions. Above the die comes the column, five feet six or seven inches in hight and about eighteen inches square at its base, tapered off in the usual proportions, ornamented a> its top with a beautiful Roman cap or cornice, and surmounted by an urn, which, with an acorn surmounts the whole, is about two feet high. Upon the die, facing the west, is the following inscription : COLONEL WILLIAM B. CARROLL, 10th Indiana Volunteers, Killed at the Battle of Chickamauga, Septcmhcr 19, 1863. Aged 32 years, G months and 16 days. '"Beloved husband, thou hast given thy life for thy country; we mourn thee in silence; God is just, and demanded the sacrifice.

Accordingly, the Capital building was put in condition for the reception of the remains; it was beautifully and appropriately draped and deco- rated ; funeral arches were erected in the streets and Capital grounds, a beautiful funeral car was constructed, and most of the business and private houses of the city were draped and decorated. The remains arrived on Sunday, the 30th of April, and, with the guard of honor, were received by the Governor and his staff, Justices of the Supreme Court and other State officers. Major General Joseph Hooker and staff, commanding the Department, and the military of the State under command of Major General Alvin p. Hovey, commanding the District. The remains were deposited in the rotunda of the Capital, where they lay in state, and were viewed by more than one hundred thousand persons dur- ing the day and evening. At midnight they were placed again en route for Springfield, attended by delegations from all the loyal States. 388 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. MILITARY AUDITING COMMITTEE. FIRST C0MMITTEE-18G1-2. At the special session of the Legislature, 1H6I, large appropria- tions were made for military purposes to enable the State to re- spond properly and promptly to all calls for troops, to furnish her soldiers with necessary outfits, equipage ancl arms, and to relieve the sick and wounded. It w^as expected that these transactions would be of great extent^ and, therefore, as a check upon any dis- position to extravagance or dishonesty on the part of ofFicials or claimants, as well as to insure economy in expenditures, it w.'ts deemed advisable to create an Auditing Doard to examine and audit, prior to payment by the State, all claims, vouchers and ac- counts of a military character. A law was j^assed accordingly, and approved May 31st, 1861.* It provided for the appointrru>nt of a committee, denominated " The Military Auditing Comruittee," consisting of two members of the House and one of the Senate, who were required to meet at Indianapolis monthly and examine and audit the military accounts of every description payable out of the public treasury, under the act referred to. The Hon. David C. Branham, of Jefferson, Hon. Matiikw L. Brktt, of Daviess, and Hon. Joshua H. Mkllktt, of Henry, were appointed, the two former on the part of the House, and the latter on the part of the Senate. They met at Indianapolis on the 11th of June for the transaction of business, but being notified by the Auditor of State, Hon. Albert Lange, that he considered it his right and duty to disregard the action of the Committee on the ground that the act constituting it was unconstitutional and void, and that he would, therefore, as in other cases, audit all just and duly certified military accounts and draw his warrants upon the treasury} as if the committee had not been appointed. The Audi- tor, in taking this course, was doubtless actuated by a sense of his own prerogatives, thinking, evidently, that what the committee pro- posed to do he could do as well and with less circumlocution and less hindrance to the eflbrts that were being made to place Indiana troops earliest and foremost in the field. He desired rather to facil- itate than retard the great work that had been undertaken by the State Personally, he was on the best terms with the members of the committee, but he insisted that he was the Auditor, and it was ♦AppouUix Doc.

MAJOR STEARNS FISHER. The frequent disturbances on the southern border of the State in 1861 and 1^*62 required the Indiana Legion* to be frequently- called out. No arrangement was made for paying these troops until the 11th of April, 1863, when the Governor determined to use the militia fund for that purpose, appropriated by the act of 1861 for the support of the Legion, and which could not be distributed to the several counties, as the law intended, because of certain ob- stacles growing out of incomplete legislation. On the above date the Hon. Stuarns Fisukr, of Wabash county, was appointed Pay- master. In pursuance of the Governor's instructions he visited all the counties bordering on the Ohio river for the purpose of collecting facts and making up pay rolls for services rendered in repelling rebel raids, and guarding the border from threatened rebel invasion. This duty was attended with many ditficulties; in many of the counties no record had been kept of services rendered; cou)p;mie3 had been called out in emergencies and discharged when the danger was past, and no account kept of the lime. Major Fisher, how- ever, by patient and laborious research, succeeded in making up, frotn sworn evidence and other reliable data, a very satisfactory set of rolls, and as soon as possible commenced payment, visiting all the counties in person where troops had served. The raid of Morgan soon followed, and other raids and disturb- ances frequently occurred. The liabilities of the State for pay of the Legion and Minute-men rapidly increased, and the paymaster was again required to collect evidence and make up proper rolls for payment. This was a very considerable task, but it was fully and thoroughly performed. The amount due each soldier was small, and as the Morgan Raid troops were drawn from widely remote portions of the State, the process of payment was necessarily slow. The Paymaster was required to visit at least one, and in some cases two and three places in each county that furni.-hed- men. There were over three hundred companies on duty " after Morgan," and every congressional district was represented, except the Tenth, In some cases not more than half the men would present them- selves for payment at the time and place appointed, being absent and generally in the army. Very rarely was a company paid entire. Unpaid claimants, either b y their attorneys or in person , "See " ludiaua Legion," iu this volume, p lUU, ante. PAY DEPARTMENT TRANSFERRED. 395 constantly continued to demand their dues, and Major Fishier was therefore required to keep an office open at Indianapolis, and attend in person or by clerk until near the close of his term. His accounts and vouchers were forwarded from time to time to the Treasnry Department at Washington for re-payment, and up to the 11th of April, 1866, the sum of -1^193,390 35 had been re- funded to the State, since which time further re-payment has been stopped because the appropriation, made by Congress for this pur- pose, has been exhausted. Provision, however, has been made for final settlement through a Commission appointed by the President under an act of Congress, approved March 29th, 1867. The entire disbursement made by Major Fisher, as shown by his account current, amount to the sum of $648,885 OS. On the 11th of March, 1867, in pursuance of an act of the Leg- islature,* the records and business of the Pay Department were transferred to the' Adjutant General, and that officer was required to perform the duties of Paymaster, after the ISih of June following, at which date Major Fisher was honorably discharged the service. It is due to him to say that he was an intelligent, faitliful and honest officer, and in discharging th(.> extensive and intricate duties of his position, won the respect and confidence of the people of the State. PAY DEPARTMENT TRANSFERRED. After the transfer was made to tlie Adjutant General, as above stated, a new system of vouchers was devised, and a different mode of payment established. The an)ount still standing on the rolls as unpaid was about ^30,000, the greater part of which, the separate amounts being small, will not probably be called for. Not desiring to hold in my hands any of the public funds, I suggested that pay- ments be made upon my orders, after being aj^proved by the Gov- ernor, directly by warrants drawn by the Auditor of State on the Treasury. This plan v^^^as adopted and incorporated by the Legis- lature in the act before referred to. Thus no funds are required except as claimants present themselves, and when they cease to make demands the balance of funds appropriated will remain, as it ought, in the coffers of the State and may be applied to other objects. Since 1 have been acting Paymaster, payments to the amount of $3,277 23 have been made to three hundred and ninety-eight dif- ferent claimants. *See section 23, General Appropriation Act, Laws of 18(i7. 396 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. RAILROADS, STEAMBOATS AND THE TELEGRAPH IN THE WAR. RAILROADS. The railroads of the country, during the rebellion, performed u part so important to the Government in the transportation of troops, munitions and military stores, it would seem proper that their general good management and efficient cooperation, so far as the same related to Indiana troops, should receive some acknowl- edgment in this report. It will not be denied that th?. hearty and generous spirit of pa- triotism, and the enterprising management so continuously dis- played by the railroad companies operating within our limittfi assisted materially in insuring the grand success which attended the efTorts of the State to |)romplly place her quotas in the licKJ; to furnish supplies and material of war to her troops; to look after and relieve her sick and wounded soldiers; to protect her southern border against rebel raids and to repel rebel invasions; and to meet and overcome the many critical emergencies that arose during those eventful years. While it may be truly said that our railroad corporations flourished to an un parallelled degree by the patronage of the State and General Government resulting from the war, many of them, indeed, having been enabled from their military business alone to extinguish very heavy indebtedness and to bring up their ritock from merely nominal figures to handsome quotable rates — it is but just to add that they did not receive greater profits nor amass more wealth than they were reasotiably entitled to by their energy and enterprise, their hazards and the immense capital employed. Their regular business and the private interests of communities and individuals were necessarily subjected to many interru|)tions and annoyances by the peculiar and imperative 'demands of the public service, and such interruptions doubtless often resulted in heavy pecuniary losses and sacrifices to the business public. Mili- tary transportation always took precedence; and at times, for weeks in succession, the ordinary business of the cou^itry was almost entirely neglected and deferred. The capacity of the several roads, the ability and tact of the managing officials, and the faithfulness and endurance of operating employees, were thoroughly tested in a manner that reflected the highest credit upon all concerned. RAILROADS AND THE "WAR. 397 While it is impraeticable to make special mention of the many (Hjcasions when the salvation of the country, and especially the safety of our own homes, seemed to depend upon the prompt ac- tion of the railroads, it is proper to state that their £:ood manao^e- nient was strikingly displayed in forwarding new regiments to Kentucky in August, 1862, when the rebel forces under Kirby Smith, aiming to reach and destroy Cincinnati, were met and checked at Ptichmond; and in July, 1863, when John Morgan un- dertook his famous marauding expedition north of the Ohio. Cin- cinnati was saved; and the Morgan raiders were compelled to fly from the State, almost without sleep or rest. Most of the railroad companies observed the very liberal rule of carrying soldiers dis- charged in the field or on furlough, wdien unprovided with State or (rovernment transportation, at one-half the usual rates, whenever it appeared from their papers that they had been honorably dis- charged, or vvere traveling on proper leaves of absence. To those who were sick this generous reduction was a particularly welcome and valuable favor, enabling thousands to reach their* homes where they could recruit their impaired health, as well as to return to their regiments in the field at the proper time. In a great many cases where soldiers were destitute of means to pay their fare, or even represented themselves to be destitute, they were passed free. Impositions were of frequent occurrence, but the peculiar circum- stances of the times and the disposition almost universally felt to mitigate the sufferings and relieve the destitution of every merito- rious- soldier, induced most of the companies to relax and liberally construe their otherwise inflexibly stringent rules. Requisitions were frequently made by the State authorities for special and irregular trains for the movement of troops, and to con- vey surgeons, nurses and hospital stores to the battle-field. These requisitions were always promptly met, and the services thus ren- dered were the means of accomplishing incalculable good. In the severe winter of 1862-3, the wood for the use of the camps at In- dianapolis, including the rebel prison, was nearly exhausted; the weather was such that a supply could not be brought in by teams, and the men consequently being upon put short allowance, became disaffected to such an extent that there was serious danger of a gen- eral stampede. In this condition of affairs, the officers of the Terre Haute road were applied to for relief, and they very promptly fur- 398 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. niched an abundant sujiply of fuel from their wood-yards in the country. But while as a general rule the admirable management of the railroads in the State during the war reflected the highest credit upon iheir officers, there were exceptional instances where the in- terests of the Government and the comfort of troops were greatly neglected. Delays occurred, whereby the men suH'ered much from hunger; and insufficient supply of fuel occasionally afforded ground of complaint, and cars were furnished in some instances which were unfit for the transportation of human beings. Pressure of business and unavoidable accidents doubtless contributed larcelv to these evils, but inefficiency and culpable neglect on the part of railroad officials were sometimes clearly apparent. The bad (con- duct of a few soldiers in maliciously damaging coaches, frequently caused the substitution of freight and stock cars, where better con- veyances might have been su|)plied. The soldiers were displeased at ihj * "PKOSPKCriVE ADVANTAGES. "The many benefits'and advantages which may reasmiably be expecU-d to result from the proposed plan, present themselves to consideration under a tbree-foiil aspect — in their relation to students, to colleges, and to the country at large. "There is no characteristic of our age and nation more to be deplored than the decline of that passion for athletic exercises which maintained the high physical development of our ancestral races, and contributed so largely to their pre-eminence in their native seats. This palpable symptom of physical degeneracy in our people may well arrest for a moment the attention of the statesman. It is a grave evil, for which neither the highest developments o PHYSICAL CULTURE CONSIDERED. 409 intellectual culture nor the most rapid advances in material progress can fully atone. The history of every ruling race, which from time to time has arisen among its fellows to dazzle the world by the splendor of its achievments, is the same; its rise to power and glory has been the result of pre-eminent physical endowments, and its decline has begun with the causes which have induced their deterioration. The members of our learned professions, our votaries of science, and our men of letters, are to a large extent a race of dyspeptics, whose vigor, happiness, and usefulness, have been impaired by a vicious system of education, which, during the critical period of life com- prised in collegiate years, in training the mind, has ignored the requirements of physical culture for the body. This glaring defect of our academic system has of late years excited attention, and attempts to remedy tlie evil have been made with more or less success, by the encouragement of manly sports, the introduction of gymnastic exercises, or by providing facilities for manual labor. " But there is no system of physical culture so efficient for good in this regard, as regular daily practice in martial exercises in all their wide variety. yhes-e being made obligatory as part of the college curriculum, and the means being provided for continuing them regularly, even during inclement weather, every student will be insured against the corroding influences of physical inaction, and will secure for himself the 'erect carriage — the firm, graceful, manly bearing — the expansion of chest — the harmonious action of every limb and muscle — in fine, that perfect physical development wic'out which mental vigor in its highest type can never be long maintained.' These are advantages palpable to the senses, and which can noi fail to be fully appre- ciated by all classes and conditions of men, "Besides such personal advantages of a physical character to be derived from martial triining, every graduate of a college which shall have received the military endowment will reap a rich reward in after life for his attention to its courses of instruction, in the enhanced social position and general respect, which knowledge of matters so useful and so captivating to the pop- ular imagination can not fail to insure. No people are fonder than our own of the pageantries of martial display, or more covetous even in peace of the dignity conferred by military titles— while none have a higher appreciation of military distinction actually won in the service of the country. It will be remembered by all, that at the outbreak of our recent civil war, so great was the estimate set upon military knowledge by the people, the mere fact of hav- ing seroedan enlistment in the Army, was often sufBcient, without other adequatr qualifications, to secure the command of companies, and even higher rank in our volunteer forces. " The military.instruction will exert upon the bearing and habits of students an efficient influence for good, by the inculcation of principles of delicate courtesy in social intercourse, respectful deference to authority, manliness of thought and of action, habits of punctuality and precision, and that spirit of true honor which has caused the gradutes of West Point to be everywhere regarded as the most incorruptible of public servants. These results may reasonably be expected to flow from the personal and official influence of officers of the army selected for this work, who, by their education, manners. 410 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. and position, will command the respect and win the regard of the youth who coaiH witliin its sjohere. " The nftoct of such influences upon the general discipline of colleges must be in th" highe-it degree favorable, even though military subordination be en- forced by no otaer sanctions than those of collegiate authority. The testi- mony of every college where military discipline in such modified form has been nlr<'ady tested, is the same, and affords ample warrant for confidence in its value, and in its suiBciency for the purposes to be accomplished." ■x- ^- it **-:«■******* * " Our standing army is but the nucleus of a national force, necessarily main- tained for the police duties of our frontiers, and to meet the first prelimi- nary sho-k of internal violence or of foreign aggression. Our real, solid means of i-.ational defense lie in the national milida, as our fathers believed and taugbt us, whether called by that name or by the more mo*dern designa- tion of volunteers. All plans for the continuous organization and efficient in. struction of this vast national force, have, in times past, sunk before the potent bi-eaih of ridicule justly due to universal ignorance of the arts of war among our poople. The system we have developed will remedy tfiis great evil. It will place among the educated classes, in every himlet in the land, proficients in military science and experts in martial exercises whose attain- ments w;ll command respect. It will supply, at all times and in all places, competent officers for our national militia, and will give character and dignity to any militia system which may already exist under State authority, or which may hereafter be established by the General Government. It will at the same time obviate, to some extent, the dangers v.-hich might again re- sult from continued neglect of the organization and instruction of this chief means oi national defense. * -x- * * * * "While interests so vast and benefits so varied are under review, extending in prospect to the remotest future of a nation founded upon principles which the world in ages past has never known, it seems almost petty to descend, even in argument, to considerations of mere pecuniary economy. But in this respect, as well as in every other, the system proposed will be found to maintain its chums to superior excellence. All the advantages which may flow irom it will be attained, as may be perceived without special details, at an expense to the nation comparatively insignificant, which will be more than rep lid by colleges, as a matter of mere business, in their supply of edu- cated oflicers to the regular army, without mention of the broader and more important influences of the system upon the character and efliciency of the national militia. The annual cost of the system, inclusive of our ex- isting Miliuiry Academy, will not equal that of a single regiment of cavalry, or two of infantry ; while its inauguration would warrant our .Government in dispensing with many regiments from its permanent establishment which would otherwise be essential to perfect national security. The entire cost of the systeui for a whole generation would be reimbursed by the superior economy of a single campaign in time of war, to say naught of economy of life, seeurity of honor, and assurance of success." MILITARY EDUCATION IN INDIANA. 411 Major Whittlesey concludes his interesting report as follows: "A comparison, of the system herein presented, with the complicated, ex- pensive and imperfect system of military education established in every nation of Europe, will show its vast superiority over them all— in its com- pleto adaptation to the objects in view— in the high grade and variety of at- tainments, which, through its operation, will become the proud characteristic of the officers of our armies, militia as well as rec/itlar— in its simplicity, econ- omy and perfect nationality. "It is a system which, if est:^blished, must take deep root in the affections of our people, engrafted, as it will be upon existing ami lime honored educa- tional foundations, and presenting to the whole body of our youth opportu- nities of acquisition in a tempting field of important knowledge hitherto accessible only to a select and favored few. lu the natural course of events, and without further action on the part of the National Government, it would inevitably permeate with its influences the framework of every plan of gen- eral education in the country— being the only and long-sovght key to the solu- tion of the great problem which, since the foundation of the Republic, has perplexed our statesmen — the inaugaratioyi of a comprehensive system of national defense, at once efficient, economijul, and not fravght with dangers to liberty." MILITARY EDUCATION IN INDIA N A . On the 6th of March, 1868, 1 addressed a letter to General Grant, Commander-in-Chief of the armies of the United States, to the following purjx.rt : " Having imderytood that the General Govern- ment has taiven some initiatory steps towards the introduction of a course of military instruction in t^ncfi schools and colleges iti the several States as desire it ; and feeling, in common with a large number of citizens, a deep interest in securing for some one, or more, of our higher institutions of learning whatever advantages and assistance the General Government may be able to afford in behalf of this important branch of education, 1 have the honor to request that you will communicate to me such information relating to this subject as may be consistent with the public interest." In reply, I received from Major Whittlesey, to w^hom my let- ter was referred by General Grant, the following information, un- der date of March 17 : " I have the satisfaction to state that on the 10th inst.. General Garfield, of Ohio, Chairman of the House Military Committee, reported, by unanimous consent, a bill " To establish a national system of military education," which was read twice, ordered to be printed and recommitted on his motion.

The bill contain^* five sec- tion;^ — the plan contained in my re|>ort of October 15, 1867.* " Tiie obvious utility of the measure, and its wide-spread popu- larity, will doubtless commend for the system in future, whatever national assistance may be necessary to perfect it. " The above will indicate the direction to give to any efforts you may see fit to make in aid of it — its fate depending upon ihe ac- tion of our Senators and Representatives in Congress." On the 9th of October, 1868, a special order was issued by cosn- mand of General Grant, in accordance v/ith section 26 of the act of Congress, approved July 2Sth, 1866, derailing Major General Em Long, United States Army, as Professor of Military Science, at the Indiana University, at Bloomington. General Long entered upon his duties soon afterward, though not in time to hav-c a course of military instruction adopted by the Board of Trustees for the present collegiate year. The leading features of the course, as proposed by General Long, (subject to such additions or modi- fications as the 'J'rustees may hereafter decide upon,) comprise: First — Theoretical Instruction in military science, (optional with the students, with the understanding that after they have once en- tered the military class they cannot be excused from it. except by the Faculty for good cause shown.) To those of the Juniors and Scientific Juniors, and to those Irregulars, in a corresponding state of advancement in their studies to the former, who wish it, instruc- tion will be given in Infantry tactics. To those of the Seniors, Scientific Seniors and Irregulars, in a state of advancement in their studies corresponding to the Seniors, the course proposed will in- clude the following branches: Infantry Tactics, (Upton;) Out- post Duty, (Mahan;) Military Organization and Field Fortifica- tions, (Mahan;) The Art of War, (text book not yet selected;) Military Law, (Benret,) and such parts of the Army Regulations as are most requisite to be known. Owing to the late day of General Long's assignment to duty, and the delay in getting some of the text books, it may be possible, though not probable, that the entire course of theoretical instruction cannot be completed by the 1st of July, 1869. Second — Practical out-door instruction to all students desiring it, (with the same rule as to abandoning it after commencing, as in the case of theoretical instruction,) for at least one hour per day in * Already quoted on pages Nog. 40C-7-8.

Such practical instruction as may be found necessary to enable the student to get a clear idea of military engineering and lield fortification, will also be given from time to time. General Long has the reputation of being an officer of high char- acter; thoroughly verged in military science. It is hoped that the experiment now being made at the University, of combining a sys- tem of military instruction wiih the regular collegiate course, will prove successful and receive the favorable judgment of the people of the State. With the assistance of the General Government, jH-oposed by General GARrrcLirs bill, with such additional aid as the Legislature might then be induced to give for the purpose of building barracks and quarters for the students, the University would add largely to its already renowned reputation, and rank with the first institution^ of the countrv. INDIANA ESTATE ARSENAL. HOW IT ORIGINATED. It is well known that in April, 1861, the General Government was unable to supply, without the delay required to manufacture, either arms, ammunition or clothing, sufficient for even the small army of seventy-five thousand men then called into service. The several loyal States were therefore comprellcd to equip their own troops, and many of th(Mn indeed furaiished their own arms, as did ours. The Eleventh regin)ent was first armed, the arms being those heretofore drawn on the States' distributive quota under act of Congress. The next thing was to supply it with ammunition, so that it might be fully prepared to go to the field. The Govern- ment could scarcely supply the troops raised in States east of us, which, of course, being nearest the public arsenals, were supplied first. Governor Morton attempted to overcome the difliculty, temporarily, by undertaking the fabrication of enough for the three months regiments; but it was not expected, or even thought of, that the business would be long continued. Captain Herman Sturm, who had a thorough knowledge of the business, from ex- perience and study in Europe, was engaged to conduct the opera- 414 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. tions at Indianapolis. The materials were furnished by the Qnar- teimaster General; the labor required was supplied by a detail of volunteers from the Eleventh Indiana, and on the afternoon of the 27th of April the work was begun. The facilities were a few hand- bullet moulds, the forge of a small blacksmith shop for casting, and a room adjoining for putting up the cartridges. The experiment may be said to have been successful, for, though the cost was much greater than at a later period, when the establishmL'nt was run on an extensive scale, and the materials used were bought in large quantities at wholesale rates, the ammunition was of the best qual- ity, and our troops were thus enabled to march into Western Vir- ginia with full cartridge boxes and an abundant surplus. ITS CONTINUANCE. The scarcity of ammunition in the country did not seem to di- minish, while calls for it for border defense and the use of our new regiments, made it imperatively necessary, in the judgment of the Governor, that the Arsenal should for a time be contiimed. He therefore, about the first of June, ordered tlie erection of cheap and temporary buildings, consisting of a small brick foundry, two car- tridge shops, and some other struetuies of packing, storage, &c. Safetv, economy and convenience were thereby secured to a much greater extent than could be expected in rented tenements not spe- cially adapted to the purpose. About one hundred females were at first employed in the cartridge shoi)s, their labor being cheapest and best adapted to the lighter work. In the foundry and packing shops some fifty men were employed in casting bullets, filling and packing cartridges, and other work. As the demands for ammuni- tion increased, the force was augmented, — as many as three, five and seven hundred persons, during the continuance of the Ar- senal, being employed at one time. The ammunition was in great favor with all the troops who used it, and the price at which it was furnished, being net cost to the State, was said to be from thirty to fifty per cent, less than the Government was compelled to pay to private manufacturers on contract. Notwithstanding there was no law expressly authorizing the establishment of a State Arsenal, yet, as its origin and continuance was an indispensable military necessity, the Governor felt justified in assuming the responsibility until that necessity should be met by the United States furnishing the ammunition required. A FAVORABLE REPORT. 415 Up to the month of October, 1861, when two hundred and fifty- hands were employed, no arrangement had been made with the United States in reference to the Arsenal, or the amraunition issued from it to troops. The State had thus far paid all expenses, but so great were the denjands upon the State Treasury for funds to meet military claims of various kinds, it was thought advisable to make an etlort to get the General Government to asswme the expenses of the arsenal, and thereby relieve the State from great re- sponsibility and embarrassment. The Governor made tlie propo- sition to the War Department, suggesting that the public demands would not admit of the discontinuance of the arsenal at that tinje> and, in consideration of the depleted condition of the Sta 'e Treas- ury and the extraordinary outlays that had been made in arming, clothing and equipping our large force of volunteers, it was but right and reasonable that the manufacture of amrnunition at this point should be continued at the expense of the United States. The geographical location of Indianapolis, and its close relation to the great armies operating in the West and South, made it a most favorable point from which ammunition could be supplied to the troops without the delays incident to its shipment from the East. In October, 1861, General Cameron, Secretary of War, nnd Gen- eral Thomas, Adjutant General of the Army, visited tht? arsenal and after careful investigation, and having fully learned how effec- tive it had been, and how useful it could be made, advised and re- quested the Governor to continue it, with the understanding that the ammunition already issued should be paid for by the United States, and agreeing that some arrangement should be made for compensating the State for future issues. General Thomas, in his report of this visit, asserted that "the ammunition was eqcal to that manufactured anywhere else," and suggested "that an officer of Ordnance be sent to Indianapolis to inspect the arsenal, and ascer- tain the amount expended in the manufacture of ammunition, with the view of reimbursing the State." Accordingly, in December, Captain Crispin, of the Ordnance corps, visited the arsenal. He expressed himself highly pleased with the manner in which it had been conducted, and that the ammunition was equal to any made. His report, submitted to his chief, General Ripley, was highly com- plimentary, but he was of opinion that the army in the West could be supplied without recourse to State establishments. General Ripley was emphatically opposed to the continuance of the arsenal 416 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. and reported against it, as follows: " On consideration of the sub- ject in all its branches, I do not deem it advisable to continue the j)repaiation of ammunition for small arms, or for artillery, further than may be necessary to consume the materials which have already been provided, at the arsenal at Indianapolis, for that purpose* Such additional supplies, if any, as it may be necessary to have there, can be provided by timely requisitions on this office, from Alleghany, or some other U. S. Arsenal." This was on the 30th of December, 1861, and at that very moment it was a well known fact the Govertunent Arsenals could not till one-half of the re- quisitions that were made, and large quantities, therefore, had to be purchased of private individuals at rates affording a handsome profit on cost of production, and much of it of poor quality. General Ripley belonged to the " fossiliferous period" of the old army, and beheld the innovations which' Governor Morton and other "live" State Executives were making upon ancient depart- mental usages and prerogatives in raising and iitting out troops, with astonishment and disgust. Fortunately, General Ripley's author- ity did not extend very far, but he never lost an opportunity to em- barrass and delay all business that came before him relating to the Indiana Arsenal. Despite all his ellorts the establishment was continued, and, as will be shown, was eminently successful and of immense importance to the Government in the prosecution of the War. The temporary buildings being unsuited for winter work, the Superintendent w^as cumpelled to hunt more comfortable quarters, and in the latter part of 1861 succeeded in securing a large, unoc- cupied furniture factory at low rental, and work was here contin- ued for more than a year afterward, 'i'he number of employees w'as greatly increased, and shot, shell, canister and signal lights were added to the productions of the concern. In January, 1862, Captain Sturm was ordered to Washington, to make settlement wdth the Government for the ammunition issued up to that time. After proper exam.ination of the account^ amounting to $68,701.96, it was ordered by the Secretary of War to be paid. An arrangement was then made between the Secretary of War, Ho.iL Robert Dalk Owen, Agent for the State,and Captain Sturm, that all the ammunition issued at the Arsenal in the future to the United States, should be paid for quarterly, at the rates charged MATTERS DEFINITELY SETTLED. 417 in the first account. In accordance with this understanding, an account was forwarded in April, for the first quarter of the year 1862, but, notwith>tanding the arrangement above referred to, it failed to receive the approval of General Rii'i.ey, Chief of Ord- nance. That officer decided, "that the law does not allow the es- tablishment of an United States Arsenal in this manner, nor the l)nrchase or issue of ordn;uice stores without the authority of the Chief of Ordnance." The account was, therefore, referred back lo the Secretary of War for further orders; and that officer referred the matter to the Ordnance Commission then sitting in Wash- ington. It ought to be stated just here, that General Ripley, on the 18th of October, 1861, in a letter to Governor iMokton, made the followintj decision in reference to the payment of the States' claim for ammuni- tion: "According to tlie Regulations, money can only be expended by the duly appointed agents of the Department. U^ however, you will take the trouble to direct ll)e State officer who has charge of the manufacture of small arm ammunition, at the Indiana State Arsenal, to make out his accounts for the expenditure and transmit them to this office, with a certificate that he holds the ammunition for the use of the United States, they will be paid at the Treasury.'" This indicated a favorable feeling, but when the bills were pre- sented the General could find neither "law" nor "regulation" au- ihorizing him to approve them, even for the ammunition actually issued to troops in the service of the Government. The Ordnance Commission took up the case referred to them some time in June, 186:2. Meantime, a second quarterly account had been presented and referred, for ammunition issued up to the first of that month. The Commission, after thorough scrutiny, decided* fhat the ammunition should be paid for at a rate that covered all costs and expenses of manufacture, and in accordance with this decision the amount due the State was promptly paid into the State Treasury. To definitely settle matters in future it was agreed, by and be- tween the Secretary of War and the Governor, that the manufac- ture of ammunition should be continued as before — the bills there- for to be presented and paid monthly. It was further agreed that the Government should furnish powder, lead, percussion caps and '^Appendix Report of United States Ordnaace ConimisHioD, Doc. No. 89. Vol. 1.— 28. 418 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. other supplies at current prices, the amount to be deducted from the accounts of the State on settlement. The economical management of the Arsenal, and the security of property as well as life, soon rendered it necessary to remove it outside of the city limits. Suitable buildings were erected on a convenient tract of leased ground about a mile and a half distant from the capitol, where the business was continued until the Arsenal was finally closed. General Ripley, however, continued to be much dissatisfied, and, notwithstanding the action of the Ordnance Commission and the agreement entered into by the Governor with the Secretary of War, determined that operations at the Arsenal should stop. His report, setting forth his views on this subject, and recommending that no more ammunition be received from the State or supplies furnished, was submitted to the Secretary of War on the 24th of November, 1862, and concuiTed in by that officer. This determin- ation was as unexpected as it was unjust. Relying upon the agreement that the Arsenal should be continued, new buildings had been erected, additional tools and machinery added, and the facilities for economically carrying on all the branches of the work greatly increased ; all v>'hich had been done at heavy expense, v/ithout as yet receiving any return for the outlay. At the same time every round of ammunition made was called for by troops in the field, almost as soon as it was ready for issue. The Governor made an earnest protest to the Secretary of War against the pro- posed action, and through the efforts of Mr. Owen, succeeded in getting the decision revoked. But little trouble was experienced afterward on the score of General Riplex's objections. He was soon relieved from duty in the Ordnance office, and subsequent transactions under his successor, General Ramsay, met* with but few interruptions or delays. COLONEL STURM. On the 17th of November, 1862, Captain Sturm was promoted tx) the Lieutenant Colonelcy of the Fifty-Fourth Regiment, Indiana Volunteers, with the view of being detailed for ordnance duty at Indianapolis, but this being found to be impracticable he resigned on the 28th of the following December. He was, however, contin- ued as Superintendent of the Arsenal. In addition to his other duties. Colonel Sturm acted as Chief of LEGISLATION REQUIRED. 419 Ordnance for the State, and as such officer had supervision of all issues of arms and other property belonging to the United States and placed in custody of the Governor for the use of Volunteers ; also of issues of State arms to the Indiana Legion. The manage- ment of the Arsenal, the settU'rnents and returns required for all ordnance property received and issued, and the general business of the Ordnance Ollice of the State, demanded a high order of ability great industry and inflexible integrity. Colonel Sturm displayed ih<'>e (lualilies in a remarkable degree, and his efibrts to carry out rhe plans and orders of the Governor were crowned, from the out- set, with the most complete and gratifying success. The service required at his hands was immense, ijivolving heavy resonsibility, constant vigilance and unabating labor. Many trying and dis- couraging diliiculties were encountered and overcome. Colonel Stuhm possessed untiring energy and confident perseverence; he made the prosperity of the Arsenal a matter of personal pride, and it is but justice to say that he proved himself equal, and more than ecpial, to every demand mad(i upon him during the war. I- K (i I S L A T I N R E (i U 1 11 E D . From the state of the military funds under the control of the (lovcrnor and apj)licable to the procurement of munitions of war, and the responsibility inctuTcd by him personally in conducting the business of the Arsenal, he desired to be relieved from the burden as soon as possible. He therefore submitted a special message to the General Assembly on the :20th of February, 1863, in which, after giving a history of the enterprise and a statement of the profits realized up to that time, he said: "Employment lias boon furnished to ninny persons, sometimes to the number of five hundred, and groat relief has resulted to many families, who would otherwise have been without the means of support. My instructions to Colonel Sturm were to give preference, in the employment of operatives, to those whose parents, children or relatives were in the army." Touching the continuance of the institution, he made the fol- lowing suggestions: " While the Arsenal has been of groat service to the Government and the State, and by its demand for labor has afforded relief to many persons, it has been the source of much responsibility and anxiety. The operations have been large, and had they been unfortunate, would have subjected me to much censure at the hands of the public. It is not necessary that I should longer tivke this responsibility, and I therefore refer the subject to the Legis. ature, with the suggestion, that if it be desired to continue the institution 420 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. until the buildings for the Government Arsenal shall be completed (which will be from one to two years) that legal provision and sufficient appropria- tions be made therefor." INVESTIGATIONS. The matiagcment of the Arsenal, the books and vouchers and every transaction connected with it, were made the subject of fre- quent and searching investigation by Legislative committees. The business was so large, and the interests of the State in its honest and economical administration so great, these inquiries were both reasonable and proper, and always met with the approbation of the Superintendent and the ofRcers of State. Every facility was artorded and full information given the committees to enable them to make thorough examinations. The first of these committees, composed of members of both houses, was appointed under a con- current resolution of the Legislature at the session of 1863. After careful and thorough investigation they unanimously reported that the arsenal had been safely, prudently and economically managed, and that its continuance was essential to the public service. At the same session a select committee, consisting of nine members of the House of Representatives, was appointed to make personal examination of the Arsenal and report its condition and such other facts as they deemed important for the information of the Legis- lature and the people of the State. This Committee submitted the following report,* which was unanimously concurred in: "The select committee, appointed for the purpose of making examination of the State Arsenal, and to report any facts they might deem necessary, con- nected therewith, have performed that duty, and submit the following report: '•The Committee visited the Arsenal, which is situate one and a-half miles east of the city. The buildings are mostly of a temporary character; suffi- cient, however, for the purpose, and built out of the profits of the institution, so that it pays no rent. At the time of the visit there were employed in one room about ninety females, and in another about forty, all employed in making ball cartridges and preparing caps. In another building the men were moulding bullets, preparing shells, round shot, &c. "The Committee were much gratified with the system and economy, and also the neatness and dispatch with which the business was conducted. " In reference to the operation of the Arsenal since its commencement, the Committee would refer to Captain Sturm's report, which contains a full ac- count of its past transactions and its present condition. " The Committee take pleasure in complimenting Captain Sturm upon the very satisfactory condition of his accounts, the readiness with which he has furnished us with every desired information, and the zeal and energy he haa >Hou8e Jouruul, 1863, page 743. INVESTIGATION OF ARSENAL AFFAIRS 421 shown in the enterprise, which are the chief qualities constituting a good oHicer. " It was the design of the Ccmmittee to recommend the Arsenal to be con- tinued un-ier the pationage of the State, and a bill was prepared for that pur- pose, but subsequent events* have rendered it impossible take any further steps. "Since our visit the Arsenal has been compelled to suspend operations for a time, at least, greatly to the injury of many poor persons that depend on its patronage as a means of support." A third committee \va.s appointed by the General Assetiobly (March, 1863,) to investiirate the transactions connected with and growing out of the war loan of 1861, and all expenditures, (includ- ing the management of the Arsenal,) made through several military officers of the State. The following extract from the report f of this Committee show.s the result of their labors so far as the same related to the Arsenal: "Tlie Committee spent much of its time in examining the transactions of the Arsenal. The organization of this institution was a necessity, growing Out of the circumstances under which the State was placed at the beginning of the war. Many of the first regiments were ordered to the field wholly un- provided with the necessary ammunition. None could be readily furnished by the Government, (^ur soldiery had to be sent forward without the requi- site ammunition, and run the hazard of getting it, or else it had to be pro- vided by the State. The Governor saw the urgent necessity, and promptly adopted a remedy. The nianufactui'e of the required ordnance scores was ordered, and Colonel Hekmann Sturm, who was thoroughly instructed in this brancli of business, was appointed to superintend their manufacture. That which was at first intended as a temporary expedient ripened into a perman- ent establishment. Under tlie superintendence of Colonel Sturm the Arsenal was not only enabled to supply an existing necessity, but was made a source of profit to the State. It depended for its success upon its utility and the econ- omy of its management. Subsequent to its establishment, and after Ir.rge quiintities had been sent to the field by it, an arrangement was made by which the Geoeral Government agreed to pay for the ammunition already issued by it at prices which were remunerative to the State. It was also pro- vided that the Arsenal should be continued, and that future supplies fur- nished should be paid for at the same rates. Up to the time of the investi- gation, Colonel Stcrm had manufactured and turned over to the Government about 100,000 rounds of artillery ammunition, and nearly 30,000,000 rounds of ammunition for small arms. The ammunition was thoroughly tested by competent agents of the Government, and pronounced to be of superior qual- ity. Not only did the State thus meet a demand created by the exigency of the times, but it gave constant employment to from one to five hundred per- sons at good wages, the preference always being given to those whose rela- *Tlie breakiugof a quorum for business in the House. tDocumcntary Journal, 18t>5, part 2, page 528. 422 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. lives and supporters were in the field. The Arsenal not only did not prove disastrous in a financial point of vievF, but turned out to be a source of profit. While it furni.shed stores of a superior quality, at prices below those usually paid, yet, by the judicious management of Colonel Stukm and the State au- thorities, on the 1st of May, 1 pointed him out as eminently qualified for the duty,) Agent of the State, to procure arms, equipments and munitions of war, under the act of May 1st. The following is the authority given him by the Governor's commission: "The Hon. Robert Dale Owen is hereby appointed Agent of the State of Indiana, to visit the Eastern States and Europe in order to purchase arms for the use of said State. He is to exercise his best diligence to purchase arms on the best terms, for military purposes. He is to select the best quality of approved modern arms, rifles or rifled muskets, with bayonets, and carbines. His purchases are not to extend beyond six thousand rifles and rifled muskets, and one thousand carbines. These arms are to be forwarded to this city (Indianapolis) as fast as possible, and the arms purchased in Europe are to be paid by drafts upon the State of Indiana, at the ofTice of Winslow, Lanier & Co., in the city of New York. No arms to be bought until after full inspec- tion and trial as to their fitness for service. Mr. Owen is to proceed in the execution of his mission with all diligence. Original bills and invoices signed by the parties from whom purchases are made shall be preserved and tiled with the Grovernor for his inspection and information." Mr. Owen^s Purchases. — The day that Mr. Owen received his commission he started for New York to execute the duties it imposed. From that day till he clo-sed his labors, February 6th, 1863, all the State's purchases of arms were made through him, the original limit of six thousand rifles and one thou-^and carbines being extended from time to time, by further orders from the Governor. His final report shows that he bought altogether: Vol. 1.— 29. 434 ADJUTANT GENERAL'S REP-ORT. Of Eii'^lish Enfi<,-l(l Riflos of the best quality 30,000 Of Carbines 2,731 Of Revolvers 751 Of Cavalry Sabres 797 In addition to these purchases made by the authority of the State^ Mr. OwKN also purchased for the United States, Ihe State advancing the money, ten thousand Enfield rilles, which were put into the hands of Indiana soldiers during the movement of General Kirby Smith through Kentucky to the Ohio river. Adding this we have a total of rifles purchased by him of forty thousand. The outlay for these was, in part, made directly by the General Government, and, in part, by tlie State, ultimately reimbursed by the General Government. The total of all Mr. Owen's purchases was ^752,694 75, of which the General Government furnished funds to the amount of $611,- 240 48, and the State $141,454 27. The prompt assumption of the State's liability by the General Government was due mainly to the superior character and comparative cheapness of the arms bought by Mr. Owen. The first lot of twenty thousand Enfields was bought at an average price of ^19 59 each; and the second, of ten thousand Enfields, at an average of ^17 85. Mr. Owen says, in his report, that the price of the first lot "was very consid- ei"ably lower than the average price paid by the Government for first class Enfields during the period of my purchases. The later contracts for sixteen thousand guns could, some time after they were made, undoubtely have been sold at an advance of not less that 840,000 or $50,000." Of the second lot of ten thousand, he says: "The ditference between the price paid by me for these guns, certified to be of the best quality, and that paid by the Government for ordinary Enfields at the time of transfer, was 823,3!-<8 00."' The total difference between the prices of his purchases and those pre- vailing when the arms were delivered, was abovit seventy thousand dollars. That amount was saved to the General Government, (as it ultimately paid for all Mr. Owen's purchases,) by his judicious action as Agent of Indiana. The advantage to the State of the assutnption of her purchases was very great. Mr. Owen states it thus: "In this way Indiana was enabled, without throwing her bonds into market, or incurring losses by advances made, except for a few of the first rifles she bought, to place in the hands of a considerable portion of her troops arms of a quality very superior TOTAL OF MR. OWEN's PURCHASES. 435 to the average of those which fell to the lot of other States." The Investigating Committee appointed by the Legislature at the Special Session of 1864, reported that "in their opinion Mr. Owen exhibited much foresight in making the various purchases at the time he did. His duties were discharged with commendable fidel- ity and energy, and certainly the trust could not have been confided to an abler or more faithful agent." Besides the arms, Mr. Owen purchased at various times large quantities of blankets, clothing and equipments which the General Government could not supply in time to meet the wants of our troops, but for which the State was reimbursed. These purchases are stated in his report of February 6th, 1863, as follows: Ca\alry Equipments, $ 8,905.44 Army Blankets, 50,406.93 Infontry Great Coats, 84,829.13 Total, $139,141.50 Add purchases of Arms, 752,694.75 Total of Mr. Owen's purchases, $891,836.25 Mr. Owen's charge for services and expenses in attending to this business for a year and eight months was <^3,452, or a little more than one-third of one per cent on the amount of his purchases. Any responsible New York house would have charged for the same service a com mission of at least one and a quarter per cent, or $11,140.95. Mr. Owen thus saved to the State and General Gov- ernment $7,678.95. Re-imbursemetils. — I have said that the States' purchases of arms through Mr. Owen were all re-imbursed by the General Govern- ment, but a word of explanation is necessary to give the exact result of one of the purchases. Governor Morton, in his message of January 9th, 1863, says that during the advance of the rebels under General Kirby Smith, to the Ohio river, in August and September, 1862, he " believed it his duty to purchase 10,000 su- perior arms for the use of Indiana troops." The General Govern- ment authorized the purchase, but the State had to supply the money and await repayment. To obtain the money the Governor applied to the Ocean Bank of New York, the President of which» Mr. D. R. Martin, advanced it " without requiring any security, and upon the credit of the State." The amount was $237,269.30. " There was some delay," says the Governor, " in getting the w^ar- rant through the Departments at Washington," and the interest for 436 ADJUTANT GENERAL S REPORT. that time "the ofFicers of the Treasury alledged they had no authority to pay." It was consequently paid by the State. Other Purchases. — During the " Hines Raid" in the summer of 1863, Governor Morton, then in New York, telegraphe-d to the Secretary of War, for 1,000 cavalry equipments and 1000 carbines for State troops. They were promised but not furnished. When the " Morgan Raid" occurred in July following, it was necessary to have mounted State troops to make any sort of effective pursuit of the flying guerrilla, and the Governor, finding that Messrs Kit- TREDGE & Co., of Cincinnati, had some 760 Wesson's breech-Joad- ing rifles, bought them at the same price the General Government paid for them. The whole amount was $18,811.40. These arms are still retained by the State. Besides this purchase the following were made by the State authorities : Stedman & Co., Aurora, Six iron cannon, one carriage, Damson & Marsh, Jeflersonville, Twelve gun carriages, S250 each, County of Fayette, One brass cannon and fixtures, Set of harness for same, R. J. Hart & Brother, Pistols, moulds and wrenches, W. E. Featherston, Fifty-four navy revolvers, $20.70 each,. Hall Ayres & Co., Columbus, Ohio, Two caissons, S3 20 each, Five battery wagons, $700 each, Five travelling forges, $445 each, Sixteen setts six horse artillery harness,.

Until the establishment of the United States Arsenal at Indian, apoiis, all of our regiments and batteries, as well as the militia, re ceived their armament from the Indiana Armory, attached to and under charge of the Quartermaster General. The Superintendent of the Armory was Captain Ambrose Ballweg, Deputy Quarter master General, who faithfully served in that capacity from the 16th of April, 1861, to the 1st of November, 1863. Under his di- rection the arms were repaired, kept in order, and issued. After RETURN OF STATE ARMS. 437 liis resignation -the Quartermaster General performed the duties of ordnance officer until the 14th of November, 1864, when Lieuten- ant Colonel Hermann Sturm, late Superintendent of the Indiana State Arsenal, was commissioned Chief of Ordnance with the rank of Colonel. He was actively engaged for some eight months in making up returns of United States arms issued to our troops, and in assisting Indiana officers in adjusting their ordnance accounts with the Government. The latter service was performed without charge to the officers, and greatly facilitated their settlements. Transfer of Ordnance Duties to the Adjutant General. — By the Act of the Legislature, approved December 23d, 1865, the duties of the Ordnance Department of the State were committed to the charge of the Adjutant General, and it was provided that he should discharge the same, in addition to his duties as Adjutant General, and without additional compensation. Under orders issued from this office on the 27th of June, 1865, the militia organizations of the Indiana Legion were required to return all ordnance and ordnance stores in their possession, without delay, to the end that the State might be able to settle her ordnance account with the General Government — the arms having beea furnished by the United States for the use of the militia during the late war. Colonel Sturm at once proceeded to procure returns and collect the arms, but owing to the confused and imperfect manner in which the accounts of issues in the Ordnance and Quartermaster's Departments had been kept, the work was ex- tremely difficult. Agents were dispatched to all parts of the State, and by personal effort and the assistance of officers of the Legion and the county authorities, succeeded, after much labor and ex- pense, in securing the return of only an inconsiderable portion of the arms. Colonel Sturm closed his connection with the Depart- ment on the 31st of December, 1865, and on the 30th of January, 1866, by command of Lieutenant Governor Baker, acting as Governor, I issued a stringent order, requiring all arms, accoutre- ments and military stores issued by the State to companies of the Indiana Legion, and to independent companies of militia, home guards and minute men, to be returned at once to the Quarter- master General. Under these orders there were returned during the year, 34 cannon, 41,251 muskets and rifles, 2,007 pistols, 2,015 swords; total, 45,307; together with a large quantity of equipments, all of which wer^ turned over, in pursuance of instructions from 438 STATISTICS AND DOCUMENTS. the Chief of Ordnance, U. S. A., to the United States Military Storekeeper at this post, and his receipts taken therefor. By the books of the Quartermaster General, it appealed that 660 arms of all kinds were lost, captured or destroyed, and properly accounted for by returns filed in his office, and that a large quantity of arms and ordnance stores still remained outstanding in a number of the counties, amounting in value to the sum of «S93,263.35. Under the Militia Law, it is made the duty of the Auditor of State to settle the account of each county, with reference to the issues of arms and other public property; and whenever it ajjpears, to his satisfaction, that a county has failed to return said issues, or any part thereof, on demand of the Governor, or that any arms or other issues have been damaged beyond the injury resulting from their necessary use, or that a deficiency at any time exists in the number or quantity of such arms or military stores, he is required to charge the value thereof, and the amount of such unnecessary damage, to such county; and the amount thus found due shall be assessed as a part of the county levy, and collected in such county in the same manner as ordinary taxes, and shall be paid into the State Treas- ury as a separate fund, to be applied by the Governor to the pur- chase of other arms for the State. In this matter two difficulties were presented : first, the State was apparently deficient in her re- turns to the United States several thousand stands of arms, and in case the authorities of the General Government insisted upon it, could be required to return them, or pay their value in money; in the second place, it was evident from the state of the accounts against several of the counties, that many of them were improperly charged, and others probably not charged at all. This state of af- fairs grew out of the confusion and haste which prevailed during the first three years of the war in almost every military department, and the many changes which occurred in the militia organization, requiring frequent transfers of arms from one county to another for home defense, of which the Quartermaster General's Depart- ment and Ordnance office here were not advised. Under these circumstances to have undertaken the collection of the value of the arms in the manner prescribed by tlie law, would have been unjust and productive of much trouble and complaint. Twenty counties were reported in arrears in the value of arms, etc., amounting to from one thousand to seventeen thousand dollars each, besides a large number of others in smaller amounts. The penalties pre- DELINQUENT COUNTIES RELTEVED. 439 pciibed by the law were pointed out to the county authorities, but in most cases they repHed that they were unable to trace the arms, or to make any satisfactory explanations as to why they could not be returned. Accordingly in December, 1866, with a view of effecting, if pos- sible, a settlement with the General Government, which would re- lieve the State from her responsibility, and thereby enable her to release the counties, I forwarded to the Chief of Ordnance at Washington City, complete abstracts and vouchers, made up by General Stone, Quariernsaster General, for the arms and ordiiance stores turned over to the Military Storekeeper, as before stated, to- gether with a statement of the arms captured, lost and destroyed, as shovv'n by the returns, and in view of all the facts and circum- stances, asked that the State be relieved from further liability in that behalf. The Secretary of War was also addressed on the same subject. On the 28th of December the Chief of Ordnance replied as follows: ^'It is to be presumed that all the arms and ordnance stores furnished to your State, during the war, were used and disposed of for the best, interest of the public service. If, therefore, it will be agreeable to your State authorities, this De- partment will consider the pa|5€rs transmitted in your letters of 10th and 20th inst., as closing the accountability of your State for the arms and ordnance stores issued to it as above stated." By direction of Governor Morton, I immediately accepted the forego- ing proposition, and afterwards received from the Ordnance Office, War Department, a full and complete acquittance, relieving the State from all liability as to said arms and stores, and acknowledg- ing the final settlement and closing of the account. Proceedings against the counties, under the Legion law, were at once stopped by the following orders: ExKCDTiVE Departmknt OF Tndiana, Adjotant Genkrai/s Offick, Orders: iNLUANArous, January 5, 1857.

Other Ordnance Returns. — From the commencement of the war, in April, 1861, until the 1st of July, 1863, the voluntec^r forces of the State were supplied with United States arms and ordnance stores, the same being issued through the State Ordnance Department. Although the State, in this matter, simply acted as the agent of the General Government, without, probably, incurrine any pecuniary liability, it appeared to be necessary that she should render her ac- count, and show a faithful discharge of the trust, by furnishing to the Ordnance Officer at Washington, proper abstracts and vouch- ers for all the arms and ordnance stores issued to United States Volunteers, as above stated. Instructions touching the premises were asked of General Ripley, then United States Chief of Ord- nance, but he declined to give any, and refused to receive any State returns. Upon taking charge of the Adjutant General's Office, I suggested to Colonel Sturm the propriety of making up the re- turns, being well satisfied that they would some day be required, and that without them a complete and final adjustment of the State's ordnance account could not be made. The State had her- self purchased large quantities of the arms, and had filed her ac- count for the same in the United States Treasury Department; and it appeared to me, that unless it was shown that the arms so pur- chased had been properly issued to United States troops, the Gen- eral Government would hardly be willing to pay for them. So it turned out. My suggestion to Colonel Sturm was complied with, and the returns, which were very full and complete, were duly placed in my hands. After some correspondence with the War Department on the subject, I forwarded the same by express to the United States Ordnance Office, and requested, as soon as the neces- sary examination could be made, that the State be released and the account closed. From information received since, I learn the re- turns are regarded as a final settlement of the matter. State Claim for taking- Care of United States Arms. — In the settlement of the affairs of the Indiana State Arsenal, the War Department decided and agreed that the State should be reim- bursed for any expense and outlay incurred, in taking care of, re- pairing, and issuing arms belonging to the United States, to volun- teers. These expenses, up to the time of the decision, were blended with the expenses of the Arsenal, and consequently they were not included in our general clauii against the United States for ad- vances on account of the war. By a thorough overhauling of the ARMS DUE FROM THE GOVERNMENT. 441 Arsenal vouchers, the items properly chargeable to the United States were ascertained; and, alter much dilficulty, new vouchers were procured, amounting to the sum of $23,916.68, which vouch- ers I transmitted, on the 15th of December, 1866, through the Sec- retary of War, to the United States Chief of Ordnance, for settle- ment. The claim was subsequently allowed, except $57.40, and the money paid into the State Treasury. Quota of arms due the State from the General Government. — The act of Congress approved April 23d, 1808, provides that the annual sum of two hundred thousand dollars shall be appropriated for the purpose of providing arms and military equipments for the whole body of the militia of the United States, either by purchase or man- ufacture, by and on account of the United States; and that all the arms procured in virtue of said act shall be transmitted to the several States and Territories, to each State and Territory, respect- ively, in proportion to the representation in Congress, and that such arms shall be distributed to the militia under such rules and regu- lations as the Legislature of each State may prescribe bylaw. During the Rebellion, this State made no claim, and did not draw her quota of arms under the act above quoted. As Ordnance Officer of the State, I Therefore felt it to be my duty to address to the Chief of Ordnance at Washington on the subject, and in reply was informed, under date of January 11th, 1867, that the State was, entitled to arms and equipments of such patents as were issued to United States troops, equal in value to $27,137.98. I also obtained from the Chief of Ordnance a list of the different kinds of arms and accoutrements available for issue to States, and was advised by him on the 1st of February, 1867, that the State was entitled to a further allowance of arms for the year 1867, amounting in value to the sum of 87.180.04, which, added to the previous allowance, made the total sum due $34,318.02. On the 6th of April, I made requisition on theChief of Ordnance for the following arms in satisfaction of the quota due the State: 1,479 SpringBeld Rifled Muskets, with Accoutrements, at $17 34 $25,645 86 718 Cavalry Sabres, at $6 50 4,667 00 716 Cavalry Sabre Belts, at $2 15 1,539 40 100 Non-commissioned Officers Swords and Belts, at $6 00 600 00 60 Musicians Swords and belts, at $5 50 275 00 716 Cavalry Sabre Knots, at 32 cents 229 12 716 Carbine Cartridge-boxes, at $1 30 930 80 442 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 716 Carbine Cartridge-pouches, at 60 cents 429 60 Total value S34,316 78 Leaving balance due the State 1 24 S34,318 02 The arms were duly received in good order and condition, but as the State Armory is a wooden structure and not guarded, I did not consider it a safe place for a depository of ordnance. I there- fore efFfcted an arrangenmcnt with Colonel Harris, commanding the Indianapolis Arsenal, to store all of the State's arms in the Arsenal building. They were boxed and stored accordingly. By correspondence with the Ordnance office in November, 1868, I learned that the quota of arms due the State for the year 1868, amounted in value to $7,180 24. By direction of the Governor, I made requisition, in satisfaction of the same, for four hundred and fourteem Springfield Rifle Muskets and accoutrements of the value of ^7,17« 76, leaving to the credit of the State $2 52. These were placed in store with the others at the Indianapolis ArsenaL Slate AYmamenL — The following is a complete inventory of arms now owned by the State: 2,093 Springfield Rifle Muskets. 500 Enfield Rifles. , 716 Smith & Wesson Carbines. 718 Cavalry Sabres. 100 Non- Com missioned Officers' Swords. 50 Mu.-icians' Swords, 7 Iron six-pounder Cannon. C Bronze ^ix-pounder Cannon, 1 Bronze Field-Piece — atrophy; together with the neces- sary gun carriages, accoutrements, belts, etc. The militia being wlu)lly unorganized, and the law being so worthless as to render the maintenance of an effective force under it impossible, it was determined by Governor Baker, soon after the arms had been drawn in from the Indiana Legion, that no effort ought to be made toward organizing any portion of the militia until a more stringent and efl'ective law could be enacted. Many applications were received, principally from veteran volun- teers of the late war, for arms and equipments, and a strong de- sire was manifested in various parts of the State to form com- panies, either under the law, or independent of it. The Governor, ORDNANCE RETURNS. 443 however, adhered to his original determination, and in pursuance of his orders, a circular was issued from this office on the 5th of June, 1867, the substance of which was as follows : " In consequence of the numerous requisitions that have been made, and are likely to be made, upon this Department for arms and equipments for Military Companies, I am directed to announce that it is not, at this time, deemed advisable to organize any portion of the militia of the State. " Within the past two years, experience has demonstrated that it is im- possible to maintain an effective and well disciplined militia force under ex- isting laws. During the late war, it is true, the 'Indiana Legion' rendered invaluable service in repelling rebel raids and guarding our Southern border against rebel invasion ; yet it is also true that upon the surrender of Lee, every company of the ' Legion ' abandoned its organization. The inefficiency of the militia law rendered it impossible to enforce any sort of discipline or responsibility; and to save the State from great loss, the authorities were compelled to gather in the arms and other public property. This was only partially accomplished, and at an expense almost equal to the value of the arms and stores recovered. It is estimated that there are now outstanding, scattered throughout the State, not less than 7,000 muskets, most of which will probably never be reclaimed. " An additional reason why tl>e militia can not now be effectively main- tained, is, that there is no fund provided for defraying the expenses which would necessarily be incurred. " In a number of cases it has been proposed to organize Independent Com- panies ; but as these are not recognized by the law, there is no authority whatever for issuing to them the public arms. " In view of the foregoing facts, it is believed that the public interest will be best subserved by retaining the few hundred arms now in possession of the State until such time as the Legislature, or the General Government, may provide by a new and more stringent law for the proper organization of the militia. "The arms on hand are new and in perfect order, and have recently been carefully packed and stored for safety, at considerable expense, in the United States Arsenal near this city. In case of insurrection or riot they may be re- quired, and will be at once available." Ordnance Returns. — The complicated nature of ordnance ac- counts, rendered it extremely difficult for many Indiana volunteer officers to make their settlements with the General Government. Certificates of non-indebtedness for ordnance and ordnance stores were required before they could draw their pay. Claim agents charged exorbitant fees for making up the accounts, and delays occurred in receiving certificates of non-indebtedness that caused real hardship to many officers. While Colonel Sturm was en- gaged in making up the accounts and returns for arms received and issued by the State, he was required by the Governor also to 444 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. make up the ordnance accounts of such officers as applied to him, as before noticed, and from his intimate acquintance with the forms and requirements of the United States Ordnance Office, he had but little difficulty in securing satisfactory and speedy settle- ments. Other duties claiming the attention of Colonel Sturm, the Governor, on the 29th of June, 1864, directed Mr. C. F. Rooker, Chief Clerk of the State Ordnance Office, to continue making up the ordnance and other returns of our officers, without charge. He continued to do this, the State paying his salary, office rent and furnishing blanks and stationery, until the 31st of July, 1865, when the office was discontinued and the unfinished business was placed in the hands of Colonel Sturm, by whom it was closed in a short time. Several thousand officers were thus enabled to settle their ac counts with the Government, many of which were badly compli- cated, without being subjected to heavy expen^^e and long delays. It is estimated that by this arrangement on the part of the Gov- ernor, the officers saved in fees alone not less than forty thousand dollars, while the expense to the State was trifling. QUARTERMASTER GENERAL'S OFFICE. GENERAL MORRIS. The office of Quartermaster General was created by the Consti- tution of the State, and that officer is appointed by the Governor and Commander-in-Chief. The duties pertaining to this office prior to the rebellion were nominal — the care and issuing of the few arms and accoutrements drawn by the State IVom the General Government, and collecting the same from the counties when demanded by the Governor, com- prised all the labors required. There was no particular regularity system or order observed in conducting the business, and when Governor Morton first entered upon the duties of his office he was unable to ascertain even what number of arms the State had, or where they were. As the salary of the Quartermaster General was only twenty-five dollars per annum, it is not surprising that no accounts were kept, or that the public property was allowed to become scattered and lost. The call upon the State for six regiments in April, 1861, made GENERAL VAJEN. 445 it necessary to Uioronghly reorganize the office and place it upon a "war footing." Colonel Thomas A. Morris, whose superior business qualifications and acquaintance with military affairs and usages well fitted him for the position, was appointed Quarter- master General on the 16th day of April, 1861, and at once actively engaged in arranging for clothing, equipping and quartering the troops, no supplies at that time having been provided by the United States. Mr. Ambrose Ballweg was made Deputy Quartermaster General and assigned to duty as Superintendent of the State Armory^ which position he continued faithfully to fill until the 1st of Novennber, 1863, when he resigned. Eleven days after General Morris's appointment he was called to a new field of duty, having been commissioned Brigadier General and assigned to command the Indiana three months' forces. GENERAL VAJEN. John H. Vajkn, Esq., an enterprising and successful merchant of Indianapolis, succeeded General Morris on the 29th of April. Under his administration the office soon assumed an important place among the military "institutions" of the State. Much in- convenience and difficulty was experienced in getting the depart- ment, which proved to be vast and intricate in its details and of grave responsibility, in complete and easy working order. Officers and employes were alike inexperienced and unacquainted with the usages and forms always inseparable from military business. General Vajkn brought to the discharge of his duties splendid business tact and unflagging industry, and soon had his office or- ganized as thoroughly as the pressing nature of the circumstances would allow. It must be recollected that the first six regiments were completed and in camp in less than one week, and that every- thing required by them had to be furnished without any previous preparation. The troops impatiently chafed under the least incon- venience or delay, and they were jealous too of every right and claim which they thought might belong to them as soldiers. That they became occasionally demonstrative on the subject of uniforms, blankets, tents and so on ; or that they, fresh from the comforts, ease and luxuries of home, often complained respecting the quality and quantity of their daily supplies, will not be considered extra- ordinary. So great was the demand all over the country for mili- tary goods, it could not be met. Cloth for uniforms, blankets, tents, camp equipage, and even arms and accoutrements had to be 446 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. manufactured from raw materials; in the meantime the necessities of the volunteers were supplied in the best manner possible. For- tunately the seai^on of the year was mild, pleasant and healthy; so there was no real cause for complaint, but the clamor of the soldiers and their importuning and sympathising friends was in- cessant, and worried everybody, and more especially tlie unfortu- nate wights whose duty it was to furnish the necessary toggery and supplies to make them at once — soldiers! Tlu-se clamorings are now looked upon as humors of the war; they teach, nevertheless, a useful and instructive lesson. « Gei]eral Vajen's success in procuring the required stores was considered at the time somewhat remarkable, for it was but a few days after the regiments were mustered in before they were fully uniformed and equipped. 1'he continued tender of troops by the Governor and their acceptance by the Government, called for re- doubled exertions on the part of the Quartermaster's Depart n)ent; warehouses and barracks were built, camps fitted uo, ammunition manufactured and outfits procured with a promptitude that won the applause of the people of the State, and it is not vain-glorious now to say that no ti'oops anywhere at that time were put into the field quicker, or with better arms, uniforms and equipments, than were those from Indiana, and gentlemen who have had actual ex- perience in the war will know how greatly all this depended on the energy and efficiency of the Quartermaster's Department. During General Vajen's incumbency, and while the State was exclusively required to clothe and equip her troops, twenty-two regiments of infantry, two regiments and two independent compa nies of cavalry, and three batteries of light artillery were furnished with clothing, wool and rubber blankets, tents, tools and complete camp equipage; the entire cost of which, including many extra articles not furnished by the General Government, did not exceed twenty dollars per man. In the month of August, 1861, an Assistant Quartermaster of the United States Army was stationed at Indianapolis, who, from that time, assumed the charge of clothing and equipping troops subsequently raised. This saved the advance of large sums on the part of the State, and secured the transaction of the business in the mode prescribed by regulations. The Governor and Quarter- master General, however, did not omit attention to the demands of the troops, and it was not unfrequently the case that supplies, such GENERAL NEW. 447 as blankets, over-coats, etc., were purchased by the State authoii- ties — (generally by Hon. Robert Dale Owen, State Purchasing Agent in New York.) payments being made directly to the con- tractors by the United States Quartermaster. These efforts facili- tated recruiting, and were of great benefit to Indiana soldiers, many of whom in the fall of 1861, serving in Missouri and Western Virginia, were unable to procure these indispensible articles through the regular channels, and but for the timely interposition of the State authorities would have suffered terribly in consequence. Besides, our officers and agents having acquired a full knowledge of the markets, could buy supplies cheaper than the Government Quartermasters could, and the arrangement alluded to, therefore, aside from all other advantages, was the means of saving money to the United States. On the 17th of March, 1862, General Vajen desiring to give his attention to his private affairs, tendered his resignation, but, to enable him to complete his official report, it was not accepted unti* the following May. GENE R A I, N ]■; W. John C. New, Esq., succeeded General Vajen, as Quarter- master General, his appointment dating May 30th, 1862. He con- tinued in office until the 13Lh October of the same year, when he resigned. During this time the General Government, through Captain Ekiiv, United States Quartermaster, stationed at Indian- apolis, furnished all the clothing and camp equipage for the troops organized in the State, excepting such necessary articles of camp and garrison equipage as were not provided for by the regulations of the United States, which were deemed necessary for the com- fort and convenience of the soldier, and which had hitherto been always supplied by the State. General New, therefore, purchased by contract, at public lettings, such articles as were absolutely required by the troops, consisting of tin buckets, wash-pans, coffee- boilers, cups, fry-pans, coffee-mills, etc., and issued them for the use of the various camps of volunteers. He also caused comfortable barracks to be erected for the accommodation of the troops in pro- cess of organization in the several Congressional districts — the gen- eral government not being able to furnish tents at the time. Other duties of a miscellaneous character claimed the attention of Gen- eral New, during his term, and were discharged with promptitude and good judgment. 448 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. GENERAL S T N E. Upon the resignation of General New, the Commissary General, Hon. AsAHEL Stone, was assigned to the office of Quartermaster General, his commission bearing date October 15th, 1862. Gene- ral Stone had aheady proved himself a n)Ost faithful and capable officer and his appointment to this new position, was a fitting and deserved tribute to his usefulness and efficiency. General Duties. — The demands upon the Quartermaster Gen- eral during the time General Stone served in that capacity, were of a very miscellaneous character; in fact lie came nearer being an officer of "all work" than any other connected with the State military service. An epitome of his duties can only be here given. He was required to take charge of and issue all the arms, accoutre- ments and quartermaster stores used by the Legion, and after the war was over and the Legion relused longer to maintain its organ, ization, it became his duty, under orders issued from this office, to collect together all the outstanding arms and turn them over to the United States' ordnance officer at the Indianapolis Arsenal, in satis- faction of the Government's claim against the State, for aims fur- nished the militia. Jffis report shows that he recovered and turned over 41,212 muskets. It was made his duty also to examine and certify a variety of accounts for transportation, supplies and other expenses incurred by the State for home and government service; to provide camps and barracks and keep them in repair whenever the Government officials failed to do so ; to furnish wood, straw, stoves, cooking utensils and thousands of other things, when required for the health and comfort of newly organized troops ; to superintend and manage the Post or State Bakery and furnish wholesome loaf bread in lieu of the usual flour rations provided by the Government; to furnish rations and lodgings at the "Sol- dier's Home and Rest" for furloughed so'diers and for troops from all quarters who might be temporarily delayed, or who were en route to the field; to provide temporary quarters and suitable accommodations and subsistence for the indigent wives and chil- dren and female relatives of soldiers who visited the capital to see their sick or departing husbands, fathers and friends; to supply poor suffering refugees from the South with bread and blankets; to investigate abuses and inaugurate reforms in and about the camps of rendezvous; to receive from the United States Quarter- STATE BAKERY. 440 master and issue to recruits before they were organized into com- panies such articles of clothing, camp and garrison equipage as was required for their comfort and well being;, and to look after any and every other general, special and miscellaneous wants con- nected with the service, that required prompt and faithful attention. He was a sort of military break-water; his duties were incongru- ous and manifold, oftentimes vexatious and annoying, but always discharged with scrupulous fidelity. State Bakery. — In September, 1862, after the exchange of the Fort Donelson prisoners. Governor Morton directed General Stone to take charge of the bakery Vv/hich had been erected by the State for the benefit of the prisoners at Camp Morton, while used as a prison camp. Its capacity was from six to seven thousand loaves daily, but it was soon increased to the capacity of eleven or twelve thousand loaves daily. It was subsequently still further enlarged, and from it all the camps, hospitals, the military prison, the "Soldiers' Home," "Ladies' Home" and large numbers of refugees and indigent soldiers' families were daily supplied with freshly baked bread, the Government furnishin'^g the usual " flour ration" for the number of troc ps officially reported, which being economi- cally manipulated at the bakery yielded a profit, altogether, of nearly one hundred and fifty-seven thousand dollars. To explain this — a pound of Hour when properly kneaded and baked will make considerably more than a pound of good wholesome bread. By furnishing all the bread required, the Quartermaster General was enabled to run the bakery on an extensive scale, and after paying all expenses, a handsome profit accrued which was used, as far as required, for the benefit of the troops. Stoves and other conve- niences and comforts for soldiers' quarters and hospitals, which could not be procured from the Government, were thus supplied. At the same time the bread ration was much better, subject to less waste, and in every respect much more acceptable to the soldiers than the flour ration. The following extracts from General Stone's report to the Governor, January 1st, 1865, explains how the profits accrued: " Flour is furnished, on proper requisition, by Captain Thomas Foster, the Commissary of Subsistence, and the bakery delivers to the soldier the amount of brnad thac the army regulations allow them. At the end of each month we find that we have a surplus of flour on hand. In other words, a given number of pounds of flour will furnish an equal weight of bread, and leave a surplus of, s>iy thirtv- three and a third per cent, of flour on hand. This sur- Vol. 1—30. 450 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. plus the Commissary of Subsistence purchases of me at the price fixed by the flour contract then existing between himself and the party furnishing it." The total operations of the bakery, as shown by General Stone's final report, was as follows: Total receipts from all sources in connection with the Bakery, from September 1st, 1862, to May 5th, 18G6. . . $100,124 83 Paid expenses of building ovens, sheds, repairs, pay and board of hands, wood for baking, and all other necessary expenses $41,372 77 Paid from the clear profits of the Bakery, for various arti- cles and supplies necessary for the comfort of soldiers, building and repairs of the Soldiers' Home, Barracks, etc., together with the entire expense of the Quarter- master's Department to January 1st, 1866, which other- wise would have been a charge upon the State Treasin-y. 56,108 73 Balance, cash transferred to the Quartermaster's Depart- ment, proper 2,583 33 Total Disbursements 5i;iOO,124 83 General Stonk reports, also, that further f^avingson flour accrued to tlie amount of 850,258 53, ari^ng as did all the sadng-s, from the State Bakery; but, as the money was not needed for the benefit of the soldiers, it was not drawn and that amount was, therefore, a clear saving to the Government. 13t>sides, there was distributed Ttatuitously to the poor families of soldiers and to refugees a large quantity of bread, amounting in value to $6,354. This shows a t, at once telegraphed Governor Mouton, a-king how many prisoners he could provide for. The answer was, " Three thousand." The only place in the State well suited for the accom- modation of the captives was Camp Morton, adjoining the city of Indianapolis, fitted up originally for State Fairs, and alter the breaking out of the rebellion used as a general rendezvous Cor In- diana iroops. The camp was well located, on high ground, with good drainage, a light and porous >oil, an abundance of excellent water, well shaded, with very comfortable buildings tor (juartcrs. Colonel RicuARD Owen, an experienced officer and a most humane and accomplished gentleman, was then organizing the Sixtieth Regiment, at Evansville. He was ordered by the Governor to bring his incomplete command to Indiana|)olis, for prison guard- duty, and was placed in charge of the catrip; Kidd's battery and the Fifty-Third Regiment of Volunteers, and some recruits assist- ing for a time. The United States' Quartermaster, Captain, now General Jamks A. Ekin, proceeded to erect such additional barracks as were required, and placed those already built in the best condi- tion possible for the reception of the prisoners. In the large agri- cultural and mechanical halls, bunks were arranged on the sides for sleeping and long tables were placed in the center for serving up rations. Stoves were provided and suitable bedding — clean straw and blankets — furnished to make every man as comfortable as could be expected or reasonably desired under the circumstances. The halls being insufficient to accommodate more than two thou- sand persons, other barracks were constructed out of the stock stalls adjoining the northern fence of the camp. These had been occupied by our own troops the preceding summer and fall as quarters, and were considered quite cozy and comfortable. They were remodeled for the prisoners so as to give six apartments for sleeping and one for eating purposes, the latter made by throwing two stalls into one with a table in the center, alternating along the whole northern line of the ground in the proportion of six sleeping rooms to one eating room. The usual garrison equipage. and cooking utensils with regulation rations, plenty of dry fuel, etc. — precisely the same as issued to our own troops — were fur- nished and so disposed as to be convenient for messing. These HOSPITAL ACCOxMMODATIONS. 457 preparations, of course, had to be made hurriedly, as only short notice of the arrival of the prisoners had been given, but they were improved upon afterwards, and the camp was made as comfortable and safe as circumstances would allow. On the 22nd of February and succeeding night, three thousand seven hundred had arrived and were comfortably quartered ; besides some eighty officers were separately provided for at the barracks of the Nineteenth United States Infantry in the city. About eight liundred prisoners were also quartered at Terre Haute in large ware- houses, the recruits of the Sixty-First (" Second Irish ") Regiment under Colonel Bkrnard F. Mullen, doing guard duty. A similar lot was sent to Lafayette and quartered in the same manner, tlie recruits of the Sixty-Third Regiment, under Lieutenant Colonel John S. Williams, acting as guards. These arrangements were temporary. Camp Morton not being provided with sufficient accom- modations for all the prisoners at the time. They were, .however, all sent to Indianapolis about the middle of March. Squads of pri^oners continued to be sent during the spring and summer, one thousand coming just after the baltle of Shiloh, and the camp was enlarged as the necessities demanded, and made as comforta- ble as if the occupants were recruits for our own army. On arrival, especially the Fort Donelson and Fort Henry pris- oners, many were sick irom the terrible exposure to which they had been subjected. The day after the main body came, the Surgeons of the city prescribed for more than five hundred, and the sick list for some time increased rapidly. The men. were thinly clad, unac- customed to the rigors of outdoor life in winter, and had been poorly fed. The prevailing diseases were pneumonia and diarrhea. Ample hospital arrangements were made, and everything that kind- ness or humanity could suggest was done to alleviate the distressed condition of the prisoners. The citizens of Indianapolis, as well as of Terre Haute and Lafayette, responded to the calls of the authorities and did all that was possible to be done in furnishing suitable nourishment, delicacies and attention. Many very estima- ble ladies and gentlemen volunteered their services as nurses and attendants, and prominent members of the medical profession were particularly kind and attentive. Buildings were rented outside the camp and converted into infirmaries, with every convenience and comfort lequired by the sick. Despite all these efforts, the mor- tality was frightful during the first month or two. All who died 458 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. were decently buried in p\n\n wooden coffins, in the public ceme- teries, and a record made of their names, regiments, etc., tor the iof'ormalion of relatives and friends. After the weather nioderated and grew warm a marked change took place in the general health of the prisoners and bnt few deaths occurred. The excitement consequent upon the sudden intlux of s^o hirge a number of rebels, taken in arms against their Government, was in- tense, not from a disposition to taunt or injure them, but from sim- ple curiosity;, it could not have risen to a higher pitch had a half dozen ship loads of Feejee islanders, or Chinese coolies been sud- denly discharged in our midst. T[i(> war itsellWas a novelty, and up to that time the people had never laid eyes upon a genuine fighting " Secesh." A few extracts Irom th(> Indianapolis Journal of ihe 20th of February, are here given as expressing the general sentiments of the communiiy. and the generous and even kindly and humane feelings entertained toward these prisoners. February 20, undir the head of " Our Prisoners and Ourselves," the Juurnal said : " For the sake of those who either honestly believe they were menaced with oppression by the Government, or Isave been compelled in spite of their convic- tions to join the rebel army, we ought to spare the prisoners all exhibition of triumph that would make us appear malignant in their eyes, or little in our own. We owe it to ourselves to show them that our triumph is but the real- ization of well-fixed hopes, and not the wild exultation of men unexpectedly successful and unaccountably relieved from a deadly peril. We who have al" ways believed that the rebellion could and should be put; down, owe it to the justice and strength of our cause that our enemy shall never see in unseemly rejoicing over their calamity that we have done more than we aimed to do. We have n)t. We have done only what we have 'aken months of weaiy ynep. aration to gain, and what was almost as sure to follow as any tilect in nature follows a cause. We have abundant cause for congratulation, none for bois' terous exultation over the fallen What a propei* sense of our position and cause demands, humanity doubly demands. These men, misled as many have been, were but a few months ago friends and neighbors. Let us bear a memory of the past if they do not, and add no bitterness to their hard fate by unkind taunts or unfeeling treatmeno. Let us receive ihem as the 'IVnnessee" ans received Dr. Fletcher when he was captured, with no shouts, no taunts, but in silence, and with more of pity than triumph in our acts It will do us no good to crow over them, and it will merely embitter their feelings loward us Considerate treatment will open the eyes of the deluded, and strengthen the loyalty of the loyal. It is right and manly for us, and it; is best for the cause we love, and the future we are so rapidly approaching." Again, on the 2oth of the same month, the same paper, after hav- ing noticed the arrival of some 4,800 prisoners, said: KIND TREATMENT OF THE SICK. 459 "We are pleased to note the fact that the prisoners of war were allowed to pass through the city on their way to che place of their confinement without any unbecoming manifestations being made against them by our citizen-^ No in-ult by word or deed was offered by any one, but on the other hand they were all treated civilly, if any acts of indiscretion were committed, it was on the part of those who, thoughtlessly, engaged some of the prisoners'ia argument as to the justice of slavery and the causes of the war It is well enough to disabuse their minds as to any prejudice they may have as to the objects of the war, and the intentions of our government, but this can be done without entering into needless arguments They do more harm than good, and if visitors are to be allowed to see the prisoners, it would be well enough to have the guards instructed to put a stop to all controversies of the kind which may arise between visitors and prisoners. We trust our officers will see that it is done." In regard to the .^ick, the Jminial, of the 4th of March, contained the followintj: _ "(If the sick prisoners at the military prison and hospitals of this city, the greater proportion are Mississippians. Though some of the Tennesseans'and Kentuckians are quite ill, their maladies are not so deep seated as those of the First, Fourth, and Twenty-Sixth Mississippi prisoners. These regiments were at Fort Henry, and at the time of the attack made upon it by Com- modore FooTE they retreated so rapidly that they left behind most of iheir baggage, including m.tny articles of clothing much needed for their comfort. On arriving at Fort Doneison they were (thinly clad as they were,) put at woi'v immediately upon the fortifications, and were compelled to labor upon the trenches constantly. During the siege of the Fort, they lay in the ditches and rifle pits, day and night. Such exposure would produce disease in the ranks of the most able bodied soldiers, but when incurred by men of feeble constitutions, the seeds of disease are so firmly planted that no medical skill can remove them. Of the latter class are those now in the hospitals Many are under eighteen years of age, and the larg^ majority are persons of feeble constitution. They receive the best medical treatment, and the nursinij care of teniale attendants; but in many eases, the best of attention cannot save them from the grasp of death. What punishment is in store for the leading rebels who have been the cause of thus desolating the firesides of many a Southern home? That it will be a terrible one, ive cannot doubt. Hun- dreds of h.ippv homes have been made houses cf mourning by such acts of inhumin treatinent of the soldiers of the Confederate army as that mentioned «hove Boys have been induced to enlist in the service and taken away from mothers who have become heartbroken — and died.

And I hereby command the persons composing the combinations aforesaid, to disperse, and retire peaceably to their respective abodes within twenty days from this date. Deeming that the present condition of public affairs presents an extraordinary occasion, I do hereby, in virtue of the power in me vested by the Constitution, convene both Houses of Congress. Senators and Representatives are therefore summoned to assemble at their respective chambers, at twelve o'clock noon, on Thursday, the fourth day of July next, then and there to consider and determine such measures as, in their wisdom, the public safety and interest may seem to demand.

PRESENTATION OF INDIANA BATTLE FLAGS. SOLDIEKS' CELEBRATION, JULY 4, 1866. In pursiianw of a call siarnerl by a iniiiiber of aistinguishca lurliana SoMiers, a large meeting of tin- brave Tetcrans of the war of the HebellioB, from all jiarts of the State, was hekl at liulianapolia on the 4th of July, ISOG, for the purpose of celebrating the Niuetietli Aiiuiversary of American Inde- pendence, and formerly presenting to the Governor, for perraament preservation in the State Capitol, the scarred battle-flags borne by the Indiana rieginients and Batteries during the war. The following account of the celebration and presentation ceremonies, with the eloquent and patriotic addresses made on the occasion, form an interesting chapter in the military annals of the State. [From the Indianapolis Journal.] The celebration in this city of the Ninetieth Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence of the Colonies from the Crown, proclaimed by the Continental Congress ninety years ago, in the city and spirit of brotherly love, was a splendid pageant — an indisputable evidence that in the people of Indiana the same spirit that animated the fifty-six framers of that immortal document is a life- giving principle, an hereditary transmitted quality that will go down with increased intensity to the latest posterity. Indiana yields to no State in these, now firmly, United States, in devotion to the country, and in the celebrations all over the Union day before yesterday, that made the land vocal with the sound of rejoicing, the spectacle here at the capital, was, we are confident, surpassed by that of no other State. How rapid, how grand and glorions has been the growth of this free Ilepublic. The birth of the United States scarcely ante-dates a time within the memory of men still living. The spirit which broke the shackles that bound a feeble people to the crovTn of England has peopled this broad domain with a wonderfully enterprising and patriotic p(ipulation. And as the surrender of Cornwallis and the treaty of peace were to our revolutionary fathers, the opening of a new national era, so was the close of the late rebellion the 0])ening of a new era in the more advanced life of the nation. There were those who believed that onr growth was too precocious ; that there w^as in it a weakness of fibre unfavorable to national longevity ; but the late terrible struggle for the nation's life sliowed this to be a delusion. As the birth of the nation was from oHt the throes of a struggle at great disadvantage against foreign domination, so the war against self destruction was a struggle that no government, not born and of the people, could have sncccssfully made. The first was the birth, the latter the coronation of freedom. Day before yesterday was the second celebration of our new and better freedom, and it was such a celebration as made glad the heart of every citizen. No e.xtraordinary effort had been made to call forth that magnificent out pouring— the unequivocal evidence of the i)atriotism of the Hoosier people. No general concert of actitm was had throughout the State to stimulate that immense attendance. The people came of their own accord— the people alone were present in power. THE CELEBRATION. Nature seemed to be in accord and sympathy with the common impulse, and the sun of the Fourth arose in an unclouded sky. The god of nature had allayed the dusty streets the night before by several showers of rai-i, cooling the air to a pleasant temperature. The night before the city was crowded with people, who had taken the precaution to avoid the impending jam of the fol- lowing morning. At early dawn tlje pent-up spirit began to break forth, and the streets resounded with the sound of pyrotechnics and the merry crowd. DECORATIONS. Buildings, public oflices, and private residences, by a common impulse, had been profusely deco- rated with the American Flag and other patriotic devices. To find a building without these decora- tions was a rare exception-the exceptions were confined to extremely few persons, who take no interest in onr national grandeur, and are indifterent to the returning anniversary. - ■■' =:^ =:= - The street cars were covered all over with the national bunting, as was also , especially, the most prominent public buildings, and the State House grounds and stage, where was almost a continuous cluster of "stariy flags." 174 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. THE CROWD continued to increase as morning grew into day. The resident population turned out en masse, and the sidewalks of the principal streets, and the public grounds were one irass of moving humanity. As train after train came in, delivering its load of human freight, it seemed as if the i)(i|niliitii'n of the whole State was about to be emptied into the capital. It is eKtimuted tliat not less than fifiy thousand people participated in the celebration of the day. At eight o'clock the deep mouthed cannon gave formal notice that the ceremonies of the day were about to begin, and the vast mass began to assume shape and order. THE SOLDIERS' CELEBRATIoy. It was intended that the iiroininent feature of the celebration should be a grand display of llie soldier-citizens of the .State, that noble body of men who came forward in the hour of the country's sore distress, and ofl'ered their lives that the nation might live. It has previously been announced that on this day a special invitation was extended to Indiana soldiers to come to the capital and bo the heroes of the occasion as they have proven themselves heroes in the late protracted struggle. They had been invited to come here and march once n.ore under their war-worn and tattered regi- mental banners, as the .State's chiefest pride, and formerly deliver to the custody and keeping of the State these precious relics. Wliile it is to be regretted that the industrial interests at home in this the busiest season uf the year, prevented many from attending, still tliey turned out in large force and made an imposing display. Most of the regiments were represented in the jirocession. The battle flags of the various Indiana regiments were carried to the Union Depot bj- a special committee and delivered over to their former guardians when they arrived. It had been originally intended that the procession should bo formed in three grand divisions, but the throng became so great about the depot and vicinity that it WHS found impossible to conform to this part of the programme, aud the procession was formed in one monster column under the Chief Marshalship of JIajor General R. S. Foster, assisted by Marshals General George F. McGinnis, General Fiikd. K.nkikler, and Colonel S.\muel Jl!;KniLL. Every branch of the service, infantry, cavalry, and artillery, was represented. The procession presented a grand spectucle. It called to mind vividly ihe recollections of the war and the prodi- gality of the patriotism of the people of Indiana.

An amusing feature of the procession was a largo party of troopers, dressed in quaint attire, typifying the historic " bummers" of Sherman's army, which attracted a deal of attention, and was iM-ovocativo of much merriment. They were the representatives of a class of men who " sub- sisted on the country" in Sherman's circuniambulatiou of Secessia. The Bummer may have appeared grotesque in this day's parade, the typilication may have appeared amusing, but the real- ity was every inch a soldier, and an object of terror to the natives of Georgia and South Carolina. TME MfSIC. The procession was preceded by the Crawfurdsville Silver Band, and our city bands, who made the musical feature fully uj) to the standard of the ceremonies generally. In addition to the splendid music discoursed by the bands, a choir of gentlemen and ladies, under the leadership of Professor S. W. St.anage, sang the national anthem of " America," "Star Span- gled Banner," "Flag of Our Union," etc. The column moved east on Washington street to East street, north on East street to Ohio street, west on Ohio to Pennsylvania street, south on Pennsyl- vania street to Washington street, and west on Washington street to State House Square. Ou arrival at the State Uouse Square, the flags were deposited on the Platform. The exercises at the State House Square were as follows : 1st. Music by the Crawfordsville Silver Band. •2d. Prayer by Rev. A. C. Allen, od. National Hymn — " My Country 'tis of Thee." 4th. Beading the Declaration of Independence by Captain R. A. Goodwin. 5th. Music by the Band. Cth. Presentation Address by Major General Lewis Wallace. 7tU. Govcnor Morton's Response. STATISTICS AND DOCUMENTS. 175 8tb. Mnsic by the Band. 9th. Reading the histories of the different flags. 10th. National Ode. 11 til. Music liy the Band. 12th. Bendiction. On arrival at the Capitol Grounds, it was found that the multitude had ulro.-idy preceded them. However, the Marshals caused an opening to be made, and the regimental orgaaizatioDs crowdcj around the stand. THE SPKCTACLE at this stage was grand and imposing. The whole eastern half of the ground was packed with an eager, interested multitude, with the soldiers iu front of the speaker's stand, while a large number, hopeless of getting within ear-shot of the stand, formed in groups in the western portion of the grounds. From the stand the mass of human nature seemed almost to be fused info one, dotted thickly with flags and other devices. It was a splendid audience that was addressed from that stand— an honer to the speakers. Silence at length being secured, the assemblage was called to order, when the Kev. A. C. Allen offered a fervent prayer to the Throne of Grace, imploring his guardian spirit to preside over the future of the country, and asking His blessing to rest on all. After the singing of the National Hymn, the Declaration of Independence was read, in a clear and intelligible manner, by Captain R. A.Goodwin. Major General Lew. Wallace then followed in an exceedingly able and powerful address of over an hour in length, presenting in behalf of the Indiana Regiments; these flags to the State through Governor Morton : ADDRESS OF MAJOR-GENERAL WALLACE. Governor.— The Soldiers' Association of the State have had it in mind to signalize in some espec- ial manner, the happy conclusion of the recent civil war. This they have thought to accomplish by a ceremonious return of the colors with which their respective comniJUids were entrusfeil ; and, not without a dash of poetry, they have chosen this as a proper day for the celebration. For them, therefore, and for the great body of comrades, present and absent, whom thev represent, I have the honor to give you liack their Hags, with the request that measures be taken by Die next General Assembly to preserve them imnieniorially. Sir, I shall never forget my first interview with you upon the subject of the war. It was a day or two after the fall of Sunipter. The National Government had not recovered from that fblow ; wu were not better ofi'; yuu told me that the President had called for hix regiments of volunteers from Indiana ; you asked me to accept the Adjutant Generalcy, and help you raise them, and I agreed to. It may be to our shame now, but truth requires the admission that we spoke of the matter then as one of doubt; the President hoped, yet feared; and so did we. Ah, sir, that there should li.'iv.- been a suspicion of our people! or a dread that they would fail their Government! Yet had a prophet told us then what jiroportions the war would assume ; what other quotas it would demand, what others exhaust, I much fear we would not have been stout enough to put despair aside. Now, I congratulate you upon the firmness with which you did your duty ; I congrafulate you upon hav- ing a State whose people never failed tlieir Governor. I return to you the colors of thirteen regi- ments of cavalry, twenty-six batteries, and one Inindred and fifty-six regiments of infantry. Have I not reason to congratiilate you ujion the glory acquired by our native .State during your ad- ministration — a glorj- which you iu a great part share — a glory which will live always ? Most of the flags which I return to-day are grandly historical. I would like to tell their stories separately, because it would so much enhance the renown of the brave men to whom they belonged ; that, however, is impossible ; time foibids it ; or rather it is forbidden by the number of flags f hem- selves. As the next best way to gratify curiosify concerning them, it is arranged that the sacred relics shall each be displayed before the audience, accompanied with a recital of the priucijial bat- tles in which they figured. Still, I must be permitted to indulge in a kind of a recapitulatory ref- erence to them. There may be some citizen present who does not realize how necessary his State was in the great work of suppressing the Rebellion — perhaps, some soldier, who has yet to learn what a hero he really was. When the war began, the military fame of Indiana, as you remember, was under a cloud. It was in bad repute, particularly with the Southern people. Why? It is unnecessary to say. Such was the case. I allude to it now to call attention to the fact that those sections in which our repute was worst, bear to-day the deepest marks of our armed presence. A little over five years ago, on this very spot, a gallaut Regiment was sworn to " remember Buena Vista ;" to-day it can be said with a truth, which the long array of storied flags shortly to be displayed will eloquently attest, the slander at liuena Vista has been more than remembered— it is avenged. By a chance, much grumbled at in thebegiuning by the soldiers, much complained of yet by the historian, whose narrative it sadly complicates, our regiments were more scattered than those of any other State. Indeed, it ix not saying too much that there has not been in the five years, a millitary Department without onu or more of them ; nor an Army Corps that has not borne some of them on its rolls ; nor a great bat- tle in which some of them have not honorably participated. As true lovers of our brave native State, let us rejoice at that distribution. It enabled our soldiers to serve the Union everywhere— it enabled them to convince all foemen, as well as all friends, of their courage, endurance, and patriotism— it was the means by which the name of Indiana is, or will be, written upon every bat- tle monument— through its chances, every victory, wherever or by whomsoe>l-r won, in any degree illustrative of Northern valor, is contributive to her glory. Three of our regiments took part in the first battle of the war; while another, within view of the Rio Grande, fought its verv last battle. The first regiment, under Butler, to land at the wharf at New Orleans, whs the 2l8t Indiana. The first flag over the bloody parapet at Fort M aguer, in front of Charleston, was that of the 13th Indiana. The first to show their stars from the embat- tled crest of Mission Ridge, were those of the Tilth and 8Gth Indiana. Two of our regiments helped storm Fort McAllister, down by Savannah. Another was amongst the first in the asuaultiug lin 176 ADJUTANT GENERAL S REPORT. ut Kurt Fislier.

Others uided in tho overthrow of the savages, red and rebel, at Pea Kidgo, Bio. Three from Washington, arro8S the reninsiila, within sight of Kichmond evacuated, to Harrison's Landing, followed 5Ic- Cl.llan to his fathomless fall. Five were engaged iu the salvation of Washingtou Bt Antietani. Four were with Burnsiue at Fredericksburg, where some of Kimball's lloosicrs were picked up lying nearer than all others to the pitiless embrasure.'?. Five were at Chaucellorsville where Stone- wall .J:ukson took victory out of Hooker's hand and carried it with him to his grave. .Six were almost annihilated at Gettysburg. One, an infantry regiment, marched nearly ten thousand miles; literally twice around the rebellion, fiiiliting as it went. Four were part of the besoiu with which Slieridan swept the Slienandoah Valfey. Finally, when Grant, superceding Halleck, transferred his lieadquarters to tin: Kast, and began the last grand march against Richmond, four of our regi- ments, joined soon after by another, followed him faithfully, leaving their dead all along the way — in the Wilderness, at Laurel Hill, at .<>pot tsylvania, at Po Kiver, at North .\nna Uiver, at Bethseda Church, at Cold Harbor, in front of Petersburg, down to Clover Hill — down to the tinal halt iu the war iu wliich Lee yieltlfd up the sworil of the rebellion. Sir, it is my opinion that our regiments were all efjually brave and patriotic ; that some achieved a wider distinction than others, was because their opportunities were better and more frequent. Such being my belief, 1 hope to be forgiven if I stop hero and make especial mention of the 7th, i:speied in wealth, hecame the foundation for a new and odious aristocracy, the nienihers of which were ftrougly hound topether, by their com- niunity of interest in human property. Not many years after this, i> was discovered that slavery was an element of political power, which, if properly wielded, might govern the nation, ami to that consummation it immediately aspired. As it prew in power and anihilion, it repudiated the doc- trines of the revolutionary fathers, and proclainx^d the doijnia of its divine ivri);iu and l.gitimato transmission from the patriarchs ; and declared its affiliation with political parties to be only upon the condition of their comph'te submission to its interests; and further, rejectliiK the original policy of th'j government pri>liibiting slavery In the territories, as announced in the onlinance of of ITS", it delinitely assorted as the fundamental law of the land, that the Constitution of tb*" United States, bv its own inherent power, established slavery in all the national domain, ('on;.ress and the people of the Territories to the contrary, notwithstanding. I'pon this issue it went before the people in IScO, and was signally defeated ; and immediately, as it was already preijared to do, icsovted to arms to overthrow the government. As if anticipating such a result, it had, more than thirty years before that time, engrafted upon the creed of the party with which it acted, and of which it was the annimating soul, the principle i>f the right of State secession, and upon this confidently expected to carry with it that portion of the party existing in the Northern States. State after State assumed to seeide Irom the Union, and uniting in a Confederacy, haughtily an- nounced to au astonished world that a new government was framed, having for its chief corner stone the institution of human slavery. Armies were organized. Forts, dock-yards, ships, and arsenals were seized, and at last the flag of the nation was fired upon, and thus liegan the great civil war, from which, thanks be to your un- eqnaled valor, und.r the I'rovidence of Almighty God. tlie nathni has emerged in triumph. The issues submitted to the trial of battle were of the most vital and momentous character. Not merely the perpetuation of our glorious Union, not merely the perpetuation .and rightfulness of slavery, but the existence of Republican institutions throughout the world, and, forever settling the question of men's capacity for his own government. The hopes of the monarchies and aristocra- cies everywhere, were with our enemies; but the hearts of the down-trodden uiillions throughout the world, who look to America as the asylum for the ojipie^sed, and the haven of liberty, beat high for us, and their prayers continually ascended to the throne of lieaven in our behalf. The strusgle was long and bloody, and victory for a time seemed to perch upou rebel standards, and the final result, to the faiut of heart, appeared doubtful; but at length tlu' mighty North, fully aroused to the magnitude of the conflict, gathered to thc> work, and hc^r tiaineil aimies, in- spired bv a holy cause everywhere, moved upon the enemy with a fiery but enduring valor that finds no e, Mar. 5, Mar. 13, Mar. 13, Mar. 13, Mar. 13, Mar. 13, Mar. 13, Mar. 13, Mar. 20, Mar. 20, Mar. 20, Mar. 31, July 20, Ang. 14, Aug. 15, Aug. 15, Oct. 21, '04 '04 '05 '05 '(i5 '05 '05 '05 '05 '05 '05 'On '(io '05 '05 '05 '05 '05 '(i5 '05 '05 Re(5igned October 7, '05.

CONDITION OF THE MILITIA. The Militia of Indiana is at this time unorganized. During t!ie late war about fifty thousand men known as " The Indiana Legion," were armed, ami from time to time were on active duty, under orders of the Governor, in repelling Rebel Raids and guarding the Southern border of the State, on the Ohio River, against Rebel invasion. Upon the surrender of Lee's Army, the " Legion" was disbanded, the Militia Law under which it was organized being very defective and entirely inade- quate to tlie maintenance of an etliciont and well disciplined force in a time of peace. During the war the dangers that threatcued our people and the patriotic ardor that animated them, cured many of the defects of the law for tho time being, and secured a faithful discharge of military duty . T'nder tho present law it is deemed impracticable to attempt a re-organization of the Militia. The .Vrms and munitions of the State have therefore been put iu good order, properly boxed and will be shortly stored in tho United States Arsenal at this place. All of which is respectfully submitted. By order of the Acting Governor and Commander iu Chief of the Indiana Militia. W. H. U. TERRELL, Adjutant General of Indiana.

ExEciiTivK Department of Indiana,") Adjutant General's Uekice, '- l.NDiANAi>0Lis, Dec. 2, l«6i. j To the People of Indiana : I am .lircctcd by His Exc-Ileucy, Govarnor Morton, to invite puMi.- ntti'iition to Iho accompany- in- Circular, issued by the Acting Assistant Provost Marsliul General of the State, and to urge a hearty compliance with the excellent suggestions therein made. Almost every township in the State has experienced the inequalities and errors of the EnroU- nieut under which the late Draft was made— arising, in a great measure, from a failure on the part of the people to secure a timely correction of the Enrollment Lists. The opportunity which the Act- ing Assistant Provost Marshal Generars plan afl'orda for making all just and proper correction it is hoped, will be appreciated, and immediate steps taken in every ward and township to accomplish that object. By calling public meetings and appointing committees composed of active, tliorougli -going citizens, the work may be speedily done, and move correctly, probably, than in any other way. It should be borne in mild that after the quotas are assigned to townships, alterations in the lists do not in any manner operate to reduce or change those quotas. From this, the importance of prompt action will readily be seen. f.'ounty and township officers, and others who are well acquainted in their respective wards and townships, with the aid of citizens generally, by consultation and united effort, will bo able to per- fi-ct the Enrollment so that the injustice heretofore so frequently complained of may be almost • ulirely avoided in any subsequent Draft that may be made. Their hearty, prompt, and thorough co-operation with the military aiUliorities having the Enrollment in charge, is therefore earnestly requested. W. H. II, TERRELL, Ailjutaut Goneral. OrviCE OF Acting Assistant Provost Marshal General, 1 Indianapolis, December 2d, 18U4. j ClECULAIl No. 08. The Provost Marshal General having directed a thorough revision of the Enrollment, the under- signed, the Acting Assistant Provost .Marshal General of your State, takes the opportunity, while the importance of having a correct enrollment is fresh in the minds of all, to appeal to all good citi/eus to co-operate with the officers of this Bureau in perfecting the same. With the assistance of tiie people, it is believed, tliis can soon be accomplished ; without it, it can not, however efficient bv tlie officers of the Provost Marshal General's Department may perform their part. 'There can be no doubt but what the draft will be relied on, in future, by the Government, to fill up the armies in the held ; and in order that it should operate equally upon all liable to military duty, the enrollment list should include all liable to draft, and only those. It should be understood that it is to the interest of each Sub-District (township) to have stricken from the list all names iniproperlv enrolled, because an excess of names increases the quota called (.)r from such Sub-District ; and that it is equally for the Interest of every enrolled man in a given Sub-District, to place upon the list all persons liable to do military duty— for the greater the num- ber to be drawn from, the less the chance tUafcany particular individual will be drafted. It is the personal interest of every enrolied man that the quota in which he is concerned should not be maj.e 100 large, that his own chances for draft shall not be unjustly increased. Both these objects will be attained if all parties will aid in striking out the wrong names, and putting in the right one.s^ Es- pecially in this, the interest of those drafted men who have put in substitutes liable to draft, and whoareonly exempt, by the terms of the law, until the present enrollment is exhausted in tlieir Sub-District. The law requires that quotas should be assigned in proportion to the enrollment; and the justice of this mode of determining the amount of military service due Horn every Suh- District can not be doubted, if the enrollment is made as nearly perfect as it is practicable to HI R Ic (' \t It is not deemed expedient, at this time, to appoint an Enrolling Officer for each Township but Boards of Enrollment, Deputy Provost Marshals, and Special Agents of the Provost Marsha Gen- eral's Department, are directed to devote all their time to this important subject, consistent with e more Tjressing duties. . . , ^. , ,. . t> .,„„* tvt,..-,i.»u.* The enrollment lists are at all times open to the examination of the public, at Provost Marshalb Headquarters, except when the Board is engaged with the draft ; and any person "'^f "PP/.'^r,}',!*?!^ the Board, and have the name of any one stricken from the list if he can show *» » « ««, '^^.''''5'° of the Board, that the person named should not be on the enrollment list, enrolled on account of- 2d.'

Thus, for the third time, Indiana troops and Iiulinna militia became the safeguard of the border, •the support of Ketitircky when in danger, atid a. solid bulwariv against treason from without as well as from withiu. June ai:d July were months of issue with the disloyalists. Their plans for uprising— for releasing th'i rebel prisiuiers at Camp Morton — for sei'zure ol" the arsenal and general coVlcett ^'itli rebels in ■Kentucky, Missouri andtJanada, were discovered, exposed and foiled. Two postponements of the day for action, want of conceit among leaders, and the good sense of thous.inds who, upon entering the Order, wer(^ misled hy a high-sounding creed and jdausible theories, but who could not be urged to ojien'.y defy law and inaugurate civil war, ■dislieurtened the ■leaders and peace was preserved. Besides this, there was no day, or liour, where the moans at the instant disposal of the authorities was inadequate *o crush, signullj', any outbreak, and iJiis became vndcrslnod. The timely arrival of a howitzer liattery which I i roeured from .St. Louis, and reinforcement by a Massachnse^tts regiment, ■checked the operations at Camp Morton, where previou.-ly almost daily attempts had been made to mine an avenue of escajje, and frequent efi'orts had also been made by parties outside to communicate with those ■wMliiii. The seizure of arms and ammunition, sent under the guise of "Sunday-school books," \^&s but ■oue of -the many forms resorted to for the purpose of gathering the means of offensive action. Early in August, and while matters were still nusettled, Johnson and Seiferl, then )u full commu- Bication with the " So^is of Liberty, at L. uisville, moved down the river to Henderson anil and Fifty-Six, ineraiire, iu tfic saiiii- ciiitip. Tlit'si' troops fornicd tlio last quota drawn from Indiana. I was tlius iliri'Ctly useociated in mustering, drilling and recruiting, vrith gix regiments of cav- alry, seven batteries, and an aggregate of about one hundred thousand infantry, exclusive of tlie Legion and llie Minute Men, who were cither instructed for, or called into some form of activB service under niynelf. All this labor deprived me of honorable opportunities with my own jjroper command in the tield, but brings no regrets, as I kno>* I did what vfas done, conscii'ntiously, and faithfully, and that at the time, the work was considered as important as duty in the field conliJ possibly be. Support was given to the loyal — some wiae inspired to enlist — many were instructed in a scildier's profession and duty and tlie plans of traitors were brought to naught. In the retrospect, I can only take time to say that Governor Morton's energy and devotion to Indiana rendered failure on the part of Indiana impossible ; and that to yourself, your predecessor General Noble, General Stone, General Mansfield, Colonel Schlater, Colonels Krybargor and Sturm, I particularly refer for that hearty co-operation, when labor became constant, which eaabled my work to reap its desired fruit. If this report bear a personal aspect, it will have its explanation in the fact that I became so identified with Indiana interests and Indiana prosperity, that I write as to my friends, knowing at least, tliat when great interests were at stake tliey were subserved to the best of my judgment, with my whole soul, without fear, or favor, and with the desire to do cqnal and exact justice to every man of whatever name or honest opinion. This is my reward vrhen evanescent plaudits antl popular honors are forgotten. With consideration I am, very respectfully, your obediant servant, HENRY B. CARRINGTON, Colonel 18th U. S.

Headquabtebs Disteict of Indiana, Nobthern Department, ) Indianapolis, Indiana, June 28, 18G4. ) GovEEKOK : In compliance with your request, I place in your hands a partial outline of the nature, work, and extent of a disloyal society, or order, now operating in the State of Indiana, under the name of "Sons or Libeety." I. NATURE OF THE ORDER. Ist. It is both cii'il and military. In its first relation, it declares principles of ethics and politics, for adoption and dissemination, that are hostile to the Government of the United States. In the latter relation, it assumes to organize armies for "actual service" in support of those jirincipleB, treating the United States Government as their enemy, and that of the rebellion as their/ricnrf. 2d. It is secret and oath-hound. 3d. It is despotic and absolute. The penalties of disobedience to its ofiScers are unlimited, in- cluding the death penalty itself. II. PRINCIPLES or THE ORDER. 1st. Absolute, inherent. State Sovereignty. 2d. The Union of the States as but voluntary and temporary, and revocable at the will of any Individual State, so far as concerns that State. :Jd. Denies to the General Government the power to enforce its laws, if it be the choice of a State to reject them. 4th. Recognizes the existing rebellion as legitimate, legal, and just. .0th.

This order, duriii},' 18g:3, was variously named, but popularly known as "K.C.C' (Kniohts of tiik (Joi.DKN OiRCi-E,) With whose ritual, oaths, etc., I furnished vou in the spring of 18U3. The peualtv ot disclosure was then death, ami this penalty w^as specified in ilieir obligations. During the fall of 18(i3, the order changed name and ritual, and became the "U.A K " (OrdeI! or Amuiican Knights;) the ritual, signs, passwords, &c.. of which are in my possession. At the meeting of this order, February IGth and 17th, ISC-i, the Grand Commander for the State oi Indiana communicated the purposes of the order, as well a.s tlie views of C. L.Valliiudighani claimed by the order as its Head and Supreme Commander. ' For said address, the proceedings of the Indiana Grand Council, and so much of tlie official pro- ceedings as it was deemed best to publish for the private information of the order, please see K.\.- hibit 1). hereunto annexed. This report gives the following States as organized : New York, New .lersey, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Delaware, Maryland, and Missouri. Besides the Constitutions of the "S.L." referred to, there is a formal ritual for the degrees, the same being a slight modilicatiou of the work of the "O.A.Iv.," which was abandoned only in .May last. These consist of the "V.," Vestibule of the Temple, and first, second, and third Temple Decrees, or Conclaves. The organization of the "Society of the Iliiii," or Democratic Clubs, does not involve full mem- bership in the order, for thus far, comparatively few in each Temple an; advanced to the (,'liapters or Councils of the higher degrees, but the lower and subordinate bodies, and that of the "Illini," in educational and probationary, looking to full acceptance of the general principles of the order, be- fore the advancement of the "Neophyte," to the higher degrees. As appears from the official report of February 17th, there were, then, only twelve thousaml members in this State, and a recent report from a portion of the State would hardly triple this number— that is, of initiates, though they claim for some counties lull battalions, and in a ftw cases, full regiments. Exhibits E. F. G. and 11. give the ritual of said degrees. It will be observed that the fundamental password is Calhoun, transjiosed for use thus, Nu-oh-hic. The unwritten work and lectures of this order vary in difterent States and counties, and in Tem- ples of the same county, though not in essentials. This is accounted tor from the fact that organiz- ing agents, in installing officers, could not take time to fully post and instruct thorn, and the work was imperfectly committed to memory. While the penalties of disclosure are formally declared to be such as the officers of this order shall direct, these jicnalties are specifically given in the verbal lectures and instructions. The oaths of 18(i:j specifically affixed the death penalty. The same is enjoined in the present order. Instructious to execute this penalty upon at least one supposed informer have been issued within the last two months. Injunctions to arm, and much cf the details of subordinate military features of the order, are also given in verbal lectures. Concurrent testimony from different sources confirms the above. Many of the documents you have already seen, and they are not necessary in this report. IV. OPERATIONS OF THE ORDER.

It eeonis that the main purpose is political power, by union with the South, regardless of men or measures. The Kastern and Western Council leaders differ as to means to this end ; and again, the radicals and conservatives dilfer at the West. Men like Dr. \V. A. Bowles seem indiflerriit to any presidential canvass, and to prefer an early armed rupture, and positive union of the Northwest with the South. Such men are ready and an.-cious for such an armed invasion as will give them a nucleus for open defiance of the United States. This is not speculation, but proof is ample. I have adverted to some facts already, and will a'lvise you, as 1 have the Government and Gtneral Heint.elman, as events progress. Very respectfully yours, ^^^^^^ ^ CARRINGTON.

OPERATIONS IN INDIANA IN THE SPRING AND SUMMER OF ISC:;. Goshen, Ixd., Sept. 20, 18G5. Ges. W. H. H. Terrell, AilJiUanl General Indiana. Sir: Agreeably to your request I herewith furnish you with a brief statement of my operations while on duty in Indiana in the spring and summer of 18i)3. A few weeks after the battle of Stone River I was ordered to Indianapolis by Major General Rose- crans to sui)eriiiteiHl the work of returning deserters from the Army of the Cumberland in the States of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. Under the influence of copperhead advice about on •-third of General Itosecrans' entire army was then absent, deserters. Subsequently, on the r.fh of March, lSii:{, my orders from General Roseerans were confirmed by Major General Wright, commanding the De- partment of the Ohio, and I was authorized and empowered to arrest deserters and collect strag- glers, found within the above mentioned States, belonging to cnnj of the departments or armies of the United States, and forward them to their regiments. This duty was of the highest inip'.rtanco at that critical period. The strength of the army had been so far reduced by continuous and shameful desertion— encouraged, and not uufrequently induced, by the treasonable advice and promises of protection which reached the ears of the men at the front from their former homes— and the Labor of arresting and forwarding them to their proper regiments was indeed herculean and attended with many troublesonio dimculties. The work, however, progressed so favorably tbat lu a few weeks a most salutary les.son had been taught the infamous instigators of this treasonable business ; they were made, bv the arrest of some of their leaders, to feel that their villainous mach- inations to break up the army were thoroughly understood, and would bo counteracted and pun- ished with an iron hand, while the poor deluded victims of their wiles were, in hundreds of cases, glad to be returned to their old places in the ranks, satisfied that their pretended friemis were indeed their worst enemies, and that it was Ut more pleasant to bear the hardships of honorable service in tlie field than to skulk in the rear under the doubtful protection of home-traitors and disloyal organizations. The result was that in a short time the morale of the army was greatly ele- vated and encouraged, and desertions rapidly decreased. Many deserters, however, ran oH to Can- ada, and, notwithstanding the great expense and effort that was made by CougreBS and the military authorities, the crime continued to a disgraceful e.xtent. Afti-r being engaged on this duty about one month. Major General Bnmside was placed in com- mand of the Department of the Ohio, and at his request 1 was transferred by the Secretary of War to that Department from the Department of the Cumberland. On the l.ith of April, by General Burnside'B order, I assumed command, temporarily, of the District of Indiana, relieving Brigadier General Carrington. . , „ , /> At this time the State of Indiana was in a State of quasi rcbtdlion against the General (,overn- nient, large numbers of rebel sympathizers and traitors t)eing armed and, in some instances, organ- ized and rendezvtused and apparently ready for active and mischievous service. To meet this state of things, I issued mv order "Number 9," a copy of which is appended hereto, which afterwards became so notorious throughout the loyal States. In carrying out that order I liad occasion to suppress several traitorous newspapers, and to arrest a number of rabid copperheads in various •parts of the State, and was about to deal with them as was afterwards done in the case of Milligan, Bowles, and others; but the President having revoked General Burnside's order suppressing the "Chicago Times," andn ot receiving the co-operation from the General Government and >tat" author- ities which I deemed essential in carrying out my programme, I was reluctantly compelled to relin- quish my plans. , . t As an evidence of the disloyal feeling that prevailed in the State during the time I was in com- mand, I may mention that on the liOth of May, 1803, the so-called Democracy (in reality copper- STATISTICS AND DOCUMENTS. 277 headR .au,1 truitors) iH-l.l ;i jrnind convention at Inclianap..lis.

The attendants upon the "convention" weiit home disarmed and disheartened, but fell to abusing mo without slint or mercy They did not " take" Indianapolis, and during my connection with the military administration of allairs iu the State, made no turtlKT serious attempt in that direction. About the fjth of June following, at my own request, I was relieved of the command of the District, and was succeeded by Brigadier General 0. B. Willcox. General Burnside gave me a leave of absence for thirty days, at the expiration of which I was to report to Major General Uaitsuir commanding the S.id Corps at Lexington, Ky. In tlie meantime, John Jlorgan undertook liis celebrated raid through Indiana and Ohio, and when I reached Cincinnati, on niyVay to Lexington I was immediately ordennl by General Burnside to return to Indianaptdis and assist General Willcox in repelling the raid. Arriving at Indianapolis, I was by Gmeral Willcox placed in charge of the defenses of the city. I made the best disposition possible with the force at hanil, but it soon became evident that Morgan had no strious intention of attacking the capital, but was trving to escape through Ohio. To prevent this, Brigadier General Carrington was orderi'd to jireceed with three regiments of Minute Men and a battery of artillery, by wny of Riclimoml and Hamilton, to intercept Morgan at or near Loveland, north of Cincinnati. He was ordered to iiroceed at three o'clock on the afternoon of the Kith day of July, and the trains were said to have been in readiness at that time. At nine o'clock at night, however, lie had not gone, and General Willcox thereupon suspended him from command and ordered me to proceed with the troops, which I diii, arriving at the point of destination "just in time to be too late." The few hours lost in starting from Indi- anapolis gave the rebel marauder ample time to pass the proposed point of attack without detention, and the hist opportunity oliereil to Indiana troops to intliet chastisement on the fleeing enemy was thus lost. Proceeding to Cincinnati with my command, and after staying there two days, i was ordered to return to Indianapolis, where the troops were duly mustered out and discharged This special service closed my connection with military atlairs in Indiana, and I at once proceeded to the performance of other and more active duties in the Meld.

IlKADQn.VRTERS DiSTKICT 01' INDIANA, Uf.I'AUTMENT OF TItK OlltO, 1 Indianapolis, April 1.3, IHo:). j In assuming the command of the District of Indiana, the General commanding deems it advisable and projier to issue the following order, to the end that all may be advised of tlie principles which will govern his action : I. He has no proclamations to issue nor policy to adopt. That has already been done, and in his judgment well done, by the Commanding General of this Department. He has no i)aitisan feelings or interests he intends to advance, but desires to confer, freely and fully, with the prominent men of all political parties, and invokes their hearty co-operation in all measures calculated to restore harmony and good feeling in the State. Ho neither claims any right to interfere with civil matters in the State, nor has any desire to do so. II. The Commanding General is charged with the duty of carrying into effect the provisions of General Order No. 38, recently issued by Major General Burnside. He purposes doing so. Vninis- takable evidence has reached "him that tlie provisions of this order have been, and are being, viohiteil in various parts of the State. This is unfortunately done, iu many instances, by well meaning men, who are led astray by newspapers and public speakers. These latter will, tlierefore, be held to the most rigid accountability. There is no use in trying to dry the stream while its fountains are allowed to flow. All the newspapers and public speakers that counsel or encourage resistance to the conscription act, or auy other law of Congress passed as a war measure, or that endeavor to bring the war pi>licy of the Government into disrepute, will be considered as having violated the order above alluded "to. and treated accordingly. The country will have to he saved or lost during the time that this administration remains in power, and therefore he who is factiously and actively opposed to the war policy of the ailministration is as much opposed to his government. III. The Commanding General indulges the hope that all citizens ot the State will sec the pro. priety and necessity of the observance of this order, an.l, as they regard the true interest and welfare of the State and nation, give him no occasion to take action on account of its violation.

Part of the Indiana Le-ion xvere ordered to Louisville, and Colonel Deland's First Michigan Sharp Shooters were ordered down to Indiana from Detroit, together with the Twelfth Michigan Batteiy. On tlu; ilth General Boyle reported cannon firing heard at Louisville, Kentucky. On the Sth he reported Morgan as bavin" crossed the Ohio at Brandenburg, with two steamers, which he had cactured. He was now known to be on the soil of Indiana. The Legion and Home Guards were called out by Governor Morton, and companies aiKl regiments were requested to organize to repel invasion. I immediately ordiTed all the railroad cars and locomotives to be secured, for the transportation of militia, arms, and supplies and ordered the Quartermaster, Commissary, and Ordnance Oflicers, to furnish (everything «hat might be required. There were some arms, but cartridges had to be manufactured at the State Arsenal, after Morgan was know-n to be on this side of the Ohio. The Governor and his military staff labored with the greatest energy and success to raise and equip the volunteers, while the dis- position of them was left to me, under general instructions from General Burnside. It was uncertain whether Morgan would move on New Albany and Jeffersonville, where tliero were about Si, 000, 000 worth of public property ; or seek to burn the bridges and break up the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad, by which the Government was sending troops and supplies to Rosecraiis, or carry cut the purpose he avowed, of marching on Indianapolis to release the reb(d prisoners and burn the capital, with its arsenal, and all the arms, ammunition, and other public properly stored at that point ; or, finally, m'hether he would mtve parallel to the Ohio river, plundering as ho ^vent, until compelled to recioss it. JelTersonville and New- Albany belonged to tlie District of Kentucky, and were, therefore. left to General Boyle to defend. I had sent him all my servieable troops, and "there- fore had nothing with which to meet Morgan. The citizen soldiery had to be raised, armc(l, equipped, and concentrated. Cavalry was out of the question, and raw, undrilled, infantry alone was all that could be brought into the field against a cavalry column. Such were the embarrassments which stared lis in the face; defense was our only policy. General Ilobson was pursuing Morgan with the Kentucky United States forces. He came to Brandenburg twelve hours behind him, and was there delayed b3' having to send to Louisville for steamers for crossing his command over the river, so that Morgan had eighteen hours start, and stole all the best horses in the country. The only assistance %ve could render Hobson was to hinder Morgan's marcli by obstructing his roads ■with the ax, the spade, and the bushwhacker's ritle. The most we could hope to effect for ourselves was to save our principal towns, railroad bridges, and important depots. I therefore advised the iGovernor : 1st, to send orders everywhere to scout the country, to fell timber, and to tear uji bridges in a'Svance of the raiders; and, 2i\, to order all of the militia that had arms to the line of the Ohio and Blississippi Railroad: all west of Indianapolis to concentrate at Mitchell, and all east, at Sey- fnonr. This was done, and supplies were sent to those stations, and cars accumulated, so that tlio troops might be shipped by rail to any threatened point of our railway system The chief rendezvous, however, was Indianapolis, where the volunteers came pouring in by thousands, and where they were rapidly organized and equipped as infantry. If Morgan was bold enough to march on Indi- jinapolis, therefore, he would have to pass between two considerable bodies of troops on his Hanks, with Hobson in his rear, and the main force of Indiana militia, animated with entbusiasin, gathered to defend their capital. The crossings of the Louisvil'.e and Indianapolis, and New Albany and Salem Railroads over the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad, in fact, the whole line of that road, stood guarded. General Hughes was placed in command at Mitchell, aud General Love at Seymour, while General Hascall, also reporting to me, was assigned to the immediate command of Indianapolis. Morgan marched first on Coryilon, where a detachment of home guards made a brave but inenec- tual stand, on the Olh of July. He then advanced to Salem, Colonel Cravens retreating before him. He burnt part of Salem on the morning of the 10th. He threw out detachments towards Browns- town and Orleans. Brownstown is on the direct road to Indianapolis, and was scouted and picke^etl Siy two companies of mounted home guards, under Capt. Shields. It is probable that Morgan now learned of the forces at Mitchell, Seymour and Indianapolis, and changed bis course in consequence ttiereof; for, moving square to the right, he crossed the Louisville and Indianapolis Railroad at Vienna, and rode into Lexington that night. His plans were already foiled, and the on.y qm'>ti(Mi with him now was how to get back into Dixie. The most available point tor lam to strike the Ohio was Madison, where he might hope to burn the city, and cross the river with an air ol triumph. But Col. Mullen was at Madison, with some two thousand muskets, and Morgau was appris.'d o this fact by the appearance of a body of Mullen's mounted scouts, who came "P H'C Madison road and dashej through Lexington just before break of day on the 11th, and found Morgan s men asleep in the Court House Square. , „ i xi t i- i- „.,j Morgan again changed his course, and turned north towards Vernon, where the Indianapolis and Madison Railroad crosses the Ohio aud Mississippi Railroad, and where there is a considerable bridge which it was his object to destroy. But as soon as Gen Love, at h'-y"'""'-; '"■'=.*'"\^f!'f,':'' ''|;',' Morgan was moving eastward, he dispatched Colonels \V ill.ams' and Burkham s regiments with four pieces of artillery, to Vernon by rail. I telegraphed Burkham to ho Id the place at all ha/.a.ds, and I also ordered Gen. Love to the threatened point with the balance of his command. Leaving Col. Buckham at North Vernon, Col. Williams tuok bis own regiment and on. comiu.j of Buckham's, and two pieces of artillery, to old Vernon, and posted his small Joice 6oa.. to JeJend the bridge and tlio town. 2S0^ ADJUTANT GENEUAl/S REPC/RT.

Keinforcenients were sent to Madison umi Lawrenceburg, but Slorsian again turned suddenly, and pass?d through VtHrsailles at noon, andt crossed the Ohio and Mississippi lvailro;id not far from Osgood, 'ouruing the railroail bridge over Loughery Creek. General Hughes started his command at once for Osgood as soon as he learned that Morgan liad turned, but the information came too late, and Morgan's horsemen easily evaded locomotives and infantry. General Wallace also moved up from Vernon with tile rest of the com- mand, but Morgan was already across the railroad. It was now our policy to protect the Cincinnati and Indianapolis Kail-oad, and if possible con- centrate troojis in fr(jnt of the enemy on that road. Colored SbrycKik was accordingly s-tarteti down- that road by rail with his regiment ; and Colonel Gaven, on his way to Lawrenceburg with his reg- iment at Greensburg, learning from Colonel McQ'uiston that his scouts reported the enemy advancing from the Ohio anil Mississippi Railroad to the Indianaiwlis and Cincinnati Kailroad, halted and re- ported to me by telegraph, and was ordered to SuniUMHs. He took cars for Siinmans, and disem- barked his men. The- rebels struck his pickets two miles out, just before nightfall, and there was some slight skirmishing, but the enemy sheered off arrd erosseih the railroad during the night, with- out doing any damage, beyond burning a water-tank. Other troops were hurrieil to the sjiot, but in the morning Morgan was in full tliglit across the State line, ami everything v/e had left In the way of trooiMs at Indianapolis was shipped by rail to Hamilton, under General llascall, to assist our sister State. At 4.30 A. M., on the llth, Morgan was at Williamsburg, Ohio. Sonre of tire Indiana troops sent by me to Kentucky, rendered good service in following up and nltimatfdy helping to capture the raiders, particiriarly part of Myers' batteiy and Patton's comi»uiy of cavalry. Indiana certainly deserves great credit at this crisis. None of her citizens proved false to their country, although Morgan had bragged that thousands woiihi join him. On the contrary, the citi- zens rose as one man, to oppose the iivvadi-rs. The Governor and his military staff labored with almost Buperliunian energy to organize, arm and equip, the volunteers. Nothing but our total wnnt of cavalry iirevented the capture or destruction of .Morgan's force. As it was, notwithstand- ing the thousand contradictory and alarming reports, that wi're telegraplied to Indi-ani»poli3 from- all quirters, we succeeded in bafRing Morgan at every turn, and forced lirm finally out of the State into Ohio, where certain cap-ture awaited liin>. The damage ho inflicted upon us was trifling. Our large towns, arsenals, storehouses, depots, railroad bridges, and junctions that lay at his mercy, without a musket to defend thent wh-'U he crossed the Ohio ftiver, v/ere all saved by the rapidity with which v/e raised troops and threw thenj. from point to point as he adranced or turned from one 'SSSKE.

Colon<-ls Mahan, KIse, .Jackson and Brady, reported to me with their regiments. These troops marched with me in September, iHt;:!, and served with me in the mountainous regions of Kast Tenn- essee until the l.Ot'n of January, \ifiA.

A.: General : I havo the honor to make the following report of my expedition in Ken.tu.cky, from the- I6th to the2:id day of August, A. D. 18t;4: Being at Mt. Vernon, Indiana, awaiting commands under a verbal onler from the Secretary of War, and having received reliable information that Colonels Johnson and Seipert, of the Confede- rate Army, were collecting a large force in Union and Henderson counties, irarabering from one to- ti>-o thousand, for the purpose of crossing the Ohio River and destroying the towns on the Indiana border, I wrote to Major General Hughes, of the Indiana Legion, then at Evansville. Indiana,, directing the defense of the border, stating tlu\t if sufficient force could be raised I would cross the river and attack the camps reported at and near Morgauslield, Kentucky, hoping to surprise and capture a large number of the force tliere engaged in conscription and plunder. By the aid of Ma- jor General Hughes, and by my own exertions, I had, on the morning of the 17tli day of .-Suiiust, A. 1). lac-f, at Mt.

To this was added ftve pieces of artillery belonging to the Indiana Legion. ,. , i • i i The artillery not having horses, it became necessary to press thera for the giin.s, which was done by myself in Posey county, and by General Hughes in Vanderburg county, Indiana I also de- tained five steamers-the Duuleitli, Cottage.

REPORT OF BREVET MAJOR GENERAL ALVIX P. UOVEV, U. .S. V. Headquarters District of I.vdiana, ^ September 4, 1805. j W. H. 11. Tfreell, Adjutant General Starty, were shocked and indignant. Tine, there were many who deeply sympathized witii the rebel movement, !uid justified the tiring on Snmpter — who were williug to look with a favorable eye on the rebellion, and disposed to indulge in harsh words and feelings against every movement of the E.xecutive for its suppression. This feeling was not common, at first, but soon assumed a definite form, and when the necessities of the service compelled a resort to conscription, their oumbers were aug- mented by the tioiid and the fearful. The rigidity with which the party lines had been drawn in former years, enabled the unscrupulous demagogues of the hour to make use of all the disaffected of every party, aad by the mere fact of opposing the Administration, large numbers of the Demo- cratic parly, who felt it to be their dut.v to oppose Mr. Lincoln, right or wrone:, swelled this opposi- tion. Demagogues, seizing the apparent opposition to the Administration, carried the election in ISUi, and returned a majority to the Ilouse of Representatives in this State, unfavorable to the prosecution of the war. The records of that body show a determined opposition to the Administration, and a desire to find fault with every act of the Coojmander-in-Chief of our armies. The trickery resorted to on every occasion, clearlj' shows that the majority were determined to throw every obstacle in the way of aiding the Government in prosecuting the war. On the first day of the session, January 8th. 1803, Mr. Jones, of Wayne county, offered the fol- lowing resolution : "Whereas, The suppression of the rebellion, the restoration and preservation of all the States, is the great and paramount object of all loyal citizens ; therefore, be it '•/ieso?(;e(i,That the members of this Legislature will vote for no man for office who is not in favor of a vigorous prosecution of the war, and who is not unalterably opposed to the severance of any i>t*te or States of tiie Union." STATISTICS AND DOCUMENTS. 283 Tliis rosulution was bmipcl by referring it to a Committee on Federal Relations, from Avhence like other resolutions which favored the p.osecution of the war, it was never permitted to re-an pear On the following day, a strong and bitter resolution was passed by the opposition, styliul; them- selves Democrats, condemnatory ot the action of the President and military antlioritie; i„ makinir arrests, attempting to curb the press of the North, and the suppression of the writ of Iniboas c,>rpu^ This resolution styles these acts as "Arbitrary, violent, insulting, and degrading to a degree un- known to any government on earth, except those avowedly and notoriously wicked, cniel and despotic. And yet. up to this time, I have not learned of a single arrest thai was not based "upon crime committed against the Government, and which was not justified iu the eyes of all loyal men who desired the suppression of the rebellion. j " The attemjit was also made at the same session, by these partisans, to deprive Governor Morton of his constitutional right, as Commander-in-Chief, to control the Militia of the State and confer his powers upon three officials— since proven to belong to the disloyal organizations of the "Knights of the Golden Circle" and "Sons of Liberty." Opposition throughout the State to the enforce- ment of the respective drafts found ready and willing supporters in those who raised these Repre- sentatives into power. A few extracts and statements from the resolutions of this class of public enemies, who were fighting us in the rear, will show the spirit which animated them in their nnjustitiable and treason- able course towards our Government.

Greene county, February 7, 18U3, (Andy Humphreys one of the Committee on Resolutions.) De- nounce the Emancipation Proclamation as a "palpable usurpation of E.xecutive power," and declare that " We are not in favor of furnishing the present administration another man, gun, or dollar for such a hellish crusade," (the war,) " that arbitrary arrests, if persisted in, should be I'esisted by tlie strong arm of the people." Scott county, January 2(3. Anti-war, and in favor of a State Military Board, which would have taken away the constitutional right of the Governor over the State Militia. Putnam county, February 21. Similar to the Greene county resolutions. Jackson county, February 19. Revolutionary and anti-war. Dekalb county, February 21. Revolutionary and against the war. March 18.

Warren couut.y, March 7. Anti-conscviption and anti-administration. Tenth and Eleventh Districts in convention at Fort Wayne. Resolutions arraign the administra- tion as tyrannical, and propose revolution as the last resort. At the Logansport Mass Meeting, June 13, the eighth resolution denounces arrest and trial of Vallandigham as a flagrant crime against liberty. March 21, 18(i3, the Democracy of Wayne county, Indiana, met at Cambridge City and resolved, 1st. "That the further prosecution of this war will result in the overthrow of the Constitution, in the overthrow of civil liberty, in the elevation of the black man and the degradation of the white man in the social and political status of the country." 2d. Favors an armistice and National Convention of all the States. 3d. Denounces the clergy. 4th. Denounces the Provost Marshal system as an institution unknown to the Constitution, subversive to State rights, dangerous to liberty, obnoxious to lawful resistance, in conflict with civil jurisdiction, and pregnant with demoralization to society. 5th. "That we say to the administration that, as the Lord reigns in Heaven, it cannot goon with its Provost Marshals and police officials, arresting free white men for what they conceive to oe their duty within the plain provisions of the Constitution, and maintain peace in the loyal States. Blood will flow ! They cannot and shall not forge fetters for our limbs without a struggle for the mas- tery." (Quoted almost verbatim from Hon. Dan.Voorhees' speech on the Conscript Bill, tebruary 23, 18G3.) , » , , At the State Democratic Mass Convention, May 30, 1803, many in attendance were arrested and fifteen hundred revolvers were taken on the Central and Peru trains. , , »v Allen county, August 3, States rights radical. "That, in view of these facts we declare the proposed draft for five hundred thousand (500,000) men the most damnable of all of the outrages that have been perpetrated upon the people by this administration, and we further declare that the honor, dignity and safety of the people demand that against ruin and enslavement, they must aiford to themselves that protection which usurpation and tyranny deny them. It would be grossly unjust to the people of this State, to say that the old Democratic P«'-ty. ^^ ^ mass, entertained these views, or were in fact tainted with the disloyalty expressed i°'>'^«« "So- lutions. The Democratic party, during these troublous times, had several distinct classes that 'yfrst%heJl"!l''^s in all parties, an honest class that support their leaders, believing in their '"second-A class of men who really feared the dangers and hardships of the army, and shrank, coward-like, from the perils of the hour.

A largu portion of the last nanii'd class, in tho course of time, b-canie active traitors— con3pire'd tlii'ir companies and regiments— divided the State into districts — appointed th-ir officers, including one Grand Conimand-T, Harrison U. Dodd ; one D'-puiy (Jrand Commander. Horace HeB'ren ; four Major Generals, Bowles, Millisan, Uiunphreys and Walker, an^l had made all the preparations for involving in its treasonable plan-s the ••ntire iJemocracy of the ijtate. Many of the "Sons of Liberty " had intended to create a rebellion in the State on tho Kith day of Angu.-t, 18ij4, by cnncentratin;; a. Democratic Mass Meeting al Indianapolis, seizin;; tho United .States Arsenal, lib-rnting five thonsarid (5,U((0) rebel prisoners then at Camp Morton, ami with tire and sword pressing forward to join Buckner ii\ Kentucky. Several evi'nts frustrated this plan : First — Tile rebels of Illinois and Missouri were to rise at the same time and niei't (General Price, wlio was to invade Missouri. Prici;, as is well known, was unable to make the invasion as conti-ui- plated, only reacliins; the western boundaries of that State. Second — General Buokner's forces, a part of which was composed of Colonel Seipert and Colonel .lohnson's commands, commenced conscripting men for the rebel came in ICentncky, and threaten- ing our border on the Ohio river. With the Forty Sixth and Thirty-Second Indiana Volunteers, and Militia raised in Posey and Vanderburgh counties, I drove these forces baik from the banks of the Uliio, on the Uth of August, which had a decided effect upon public feeling in Indiana. A report of this affair has already been made to the Adjutant General. Third — And probably the strongest reason, in this State, why the outbreak did not occur at that time, was the fact that the Hon. M. C. Kerr, Member of (,'ongress, Second Congressional District, and Hon. Joseph E. McDonald, and others, who were leaders of the Democracy at the time, l-arued the fact, called a meeting at Indianapolis, and prevailed upon tliose commanding the conspiracy to desist. Arms of the conspirators had been seized at Indianapolis, and others were known to have been scattered throughout the State, and placed in the hands of the disloyal. llcbtd emissaries and otticers had been sent by President Davis, to lead the rebel furcis that might be liberati d, and those who might volunteer fnim this State to join the Hag of the rebtdli(jn. With the full knowledge of tlie presence of these otticials in Indianapolis, the Chairman of the Democratic Central Committee, the editor of the Democratic organ in this State, Josepli .1. Bingham, remained silent, perniittrd tlu-ni to mature their schemes, and unmolested to depart, liepeatedly denying the existence of the secret order of tho "Sons of Liberty,"' in his paper, while he was a member, he continued denouncing the Administration, and in many and indirect ways opposing the draft, until he was arrested for conspiracy. It is but justice to him to say that, brought to the stand, he testified to the facts that ho had long been a member of the order, knew the treasonable designs of some of the membeis, the jireseuce of rebel officers in the city of Indianapolis, and that he did all in his power to prevent the contemplated outbreak on tiie liltli day of August. I mention these facts with no partisan feeling, and " more in sorrow than in anger," and I regret tliat I am compelled to name parties in tliis connection, and only do so to present a clear under- standing of my position during my command in this District. Mr. Bingham is still Chairman of the Democratic Central Committee, and chief editor of the Senlitiel. This may mean sonething or nothing, as the wise historians of tlie future may determine. In this condition, with the Government denounced and tlio laws defied, the record of tlie crimes of the conspirators is still to be enlarged by wanton murders of officers and soldiers in several parts of the State. The following, among others, may be mentioned: January 30, lSti3 — A detail of soldiers, arresting deserters, at Waverly, Morgan county, fired on by rebel sympathizers. January 1st. — Deserters rescued by an aimed force, in Noble townsliip. Jay county, Indiana. June IJ.. — Uesistance to the enrollment, by armed men, in Johnson county. June \o. — Fifty armed men attacked tho house of James Sill, enrolling officer of Marion town- ship, Putnam county, and demanded the enrollment lists. Sixty shots were fired at the house, after leaving. At the same time the enrollment books and papers were destroyed in JetJ'erson township, Putnam county. The same week the books of Cloverdale township, Putnam county, were stolen. June 15.— Tho enrolling officer of Whitestown, Boouo county, was interfered with by rioters, to prevent an enrollment. June 18. — Fletcher Freeman, enrolling officer of Sullivan county, shot dead. June 11. — Tho enrolling officer of Waterloo township, Fayette couuty, was fired on while in tin discharge of his iluties. June 10. — Hon. Frank Stevens killed, and CraycrafT wounded, near Manilla, while enrolling Walker township. Rush county. .\ short time before this, the llushiille Jacksnnicat, a Democratic paper, had advised the enrolling officers to insure their lives before commencing the enrollment. June'JO — (Jr about that time, the enrollment was resisted in Indian Creek townshij), Monroe county, and papers destroyeil. June 10. — The enrolling officer of Daviess county was notified not to enroll the county. October 3, ISijl. — Captain Eli McCarty murdered in Daviess couuty, while serving notices on drafted men. With their hands red with the blood of these innocent officers and men, their unlawful combina- tions were drilling for warlike duty in several counties in the State, and defying those who attempted to enforce the law. With secret societies numbering about forty thousand (40,000) mem- bers, meeting at midnight, plotting treason, and threatening the life of the Governor of the State, 1 was by special order from tlie War Department placed in command of this District with power to make military arrests. Great excitement prevailed. The elections for Governor and State and Federal offices were being canvassed, and buth parties expressed great fears of fraud and force being used at the polls. On ihe democratic State ticket three prominent gc'utlemen, known to belong to the "Sons of Liberty," were candidates for re-election. The conspirators were defiant and sanguine of d<^feating the Union candidates with the democratic nominees. During this exciting period I deemed it necessary, for the purpose of bringing the great criminals of this State to justice and opening tho eyes of the honest, to arrest Harrison H. Dodd, L. P Milligan, Andy Huraiihreys, Horace Heffren, James Wilson, M. D., William A. Bowles, Stephen Horsey and others, as officers of the army of conspira- tors, and Joseph J. Bingham and others as aiders and abettors of the treason. The trials of some of those arrested have become historical and need no further mention. Tlie evidence elicited, made patent, the treasonable designs of the conspirators, and the people who were opposed to the prose- STATISTICS AND DOCUMENTS. 285 cntion of the war of the rebellion, as manifested by their representatives in 1802, returned trium- phant ninjoriliee for Governor Morton and the Union candidates in 1804. Binghiiin, Wilson, Ileffren and Harrison were used as witnesses in the trials of Dodd, Bowles Milligan ano others, not only to prove the conspiracy, but to convince the public mind and wereiii consequence release,! Iroin arrest. Many more instances of outrage against the agents of the Oov- ernnient, and many additional resolves might be recited, which would clearly show the evil acts and designs of rebel sympathizers in Indiana tences are now a part of the history of the country. 'With a clear understanding of the events of the past, I have nothing to fear from the judgment of the present or the future. Knowing the people of my native State, knowing the ability of those who let the opposition to the suppres.-ion of tlie rebellion, knowing the danger and the necessities of the hour, I smote as many of the heads of tho hydra, as my saber could safely Teach, and thuuirh, as in ancient davs, they seemed for awhile to multiply, there are but lew now to be found who will willingly admit thul tliet/ sprang from the monster. 1 may have erred but have not yet been made conscious of the fact. Drafted men and others who were f<>arful of being compelled to enter tlie army under the last conscription, raised the prices of substitutes in this District in the autumn of lSii-1, and large amounts were paid, in some casea reacliing as higii as eighteen hundred (1.800) dollars. This drew to this State from t'anada anil the North hundreds of professional bounty junibers— no less than threo hundred and lilty (o5U) of wliom were arrested and imprisoned during my command. The evil of "bounty jumping" became very great. At least one thousand had received tho bounties and deserted from the draft rendezvous, then under command of Brigadier General C'ar- rington, so that I deemed it necessary to resort to the most severe measures to prevent it. Accord- ingly on the 2'M day of December, 18ii4, I caused three of the most infamous of this class, after being tried and condemned, to be shot to death. This with sending about two hundred ami sixty (Jiid) to the front in chains, had the desired effect and "bounty jumping" ceased to be a crime in this District. The peculiar condition of my command required an active secret police for this service. Wy ac- counts have been rendered and I am gratified that the amounts taken and retained from "bounty jumpers" far exceeds the expenditures, as my reports and accounts heretofore f. rwarded will show. To the members of my statt', Major .J. W. Walker, A. A. G., Captain A. C. Kemper, A. A. G., (niy former A. D. C.,) Captain John T.

G., Surgeon J. S. Bobbs, Medical Director, Captain .James W ilson, A. Q M. and Captain Joseph P. Pope, A. C. S., I am greatly indebted for their faithful and efficient services. Tlie (iovernment is greatly indebted to Brevet Colonel H. L. Burnett, Judge Advocate of tho De- partment, for his able and successful prosecution of the conspirators of this State. Praise is duo Captain J. I). Taylor, Judge Advocate of this District, for his long and successful labors in trying cases and bringing criminals to justice. Brevet Brigadier General A. A. Stevens, commanding camps Burnside and Morton, with the diffi- cult and trying position of commandant at the camp of rebel prisoners, has perfoinu-d his duty to my approval ai-.d entire satisfaction. I have repeatedly, with pride, conducted visitors to his camp, toshow his military discipline and the order and ni'atnesa that prevailed tiiroughout his barracks and prisons. An equal sliare of honor is likewise due to Colonel A. J. Warner, Seventeenth liegi- ment Veteran Reserve Corps, for the great and continued services of himself and regiment, as the police force of the District too much praise cannot be bestowed upon this command. I herewith transmit an abstract showing the numberof trials, convictions anil acquittals by Blil- itary Courts in this command, with the character of the crimes alleged against the accused.

BirLTTARV AFFAIRS AT INDIANAPOLIS— 18U4-G.-.. „ , Mauietta, Ohio, October •.'.', ISiii;. ToW. H. II. T i^nn¥.i.t, Ailjutant General State 0/ Indiana : Sie:— III roply to your communication, requesting a statement of the services of the regiment under my command, wliile stationed at Indianapolis, I have the honor to submit the followiui; brii-f summary of tlie duties performed by the ollicers ami men of the Seventeenth Itegiment Veteran Reserve Corps, wliih' doing duty in the State of Indiana : The Veteran Ueserve Corps was orgiuii/.ed by transferring to it, from hos|)itals and convalscuunlK.r ol 'Mmnnty-jumpers/- as the^- b,,nM v\wt ers were called, were collected to form a jjano- they ^ere tied together'^and forwarded under Vfom. guards Several of these gangs were tirst paraded through the streets of Indianapolis wih placards upoh their backs exposing them, as a warning to those who mipht be tempted to embark m the same undertaking. Several were tried by Onrts Martial, and three of the most .lesperatt characters, having been found guilty of repeated desertion, were cxecnted }.y being "shot to death" on the parade-ground near Camp Morton. A fo.irtJi, named Doyle, was also scnttfoced to snm-r tlu- same penalty, but his case l>eing taken to President Lincoln by a brother, his esecntion was post- poned, under the President s order, until the close of t,ie war rendered this extreme penalty unnec- essary. Ihose forwarded in gangs generally made their escape, however, after reaching the front so that, although the severe measures adopted broke up the business of inniping bounties in Indi- anapolis, still such men were never of any use to the Government. Thev helped to tinht no battle*' -they won no victories ; and the result of this experience of our Government in raising men to fight Its battles by the temptation of large bounties, must ever stand us evidence against such « scheme. Money, thus offered, did not make patriotism, while it opened the broadest avenues to peculation, fraud, and crime. Highwaymen, thieves, gamblers, and the whole fj-aternity of unscru- pulous scoundrels that seemed to thrt>ng the country towards the close of the war found the '■bounty business" easy to enter, detection difficult, and the dangers less than attended their ordi- nary avocations; while thousands who had not been schooled to crime were drawn into the same tide and borne along, almost unconscious of the magnitude of their crime. At the Solitiers' Homo, one company of the Secoiicl Battallion A'eteran EeseFvo Corps, e^inposed of men so disabled as to be unfit to War arms, was kept on duty as attendants at the hospital, or a» cooks and attendants in the kitchen and dining departments. The Soldiers' Home at Indianapolis was an institution well known throughout all tlie SSates as a place where meals were served to all troops passing through and stopping at Indianapolis, as welJ as a general depot for transient soldiers on furlough, sick, or awaiting orders. Credit is especially due to Lieutenant Colonel Gardiner, 17th Kegiment, Liectenant Simmons, Ad- jutant, Captains Craig and Middleton, Provost Marshals, and the other officers of the Tegiment, for the etliciency and discipline of the men on duty under my command. Finally, it is, perhaps, a matter worthy of record that during the period of my command at Indianapolis, no conflict or misunderstanding occurred between the civil and military authorities On the contrary, every effort of the military authorities to preserve order and bring offenders to justice were supported by the excellent Mayor and efficient police force of the city. 1 have the honor to be, very respectfully, your obedient servant, A.

Terrell, Adjvtant Genei-al Indiana, Indianapolh, Jntliana: Deae General :— Your esteemed favor of the 10th inst., has been received ; and with many thanks for your kind consideration, I shall proceed to give you, as requested, a brief account of my servi- ces in the Quartermaster's Department : On the 2lith of April, 18i;l, I was commissioned by the Governor of Pennsylvania nb Regimental Quartermaster of the 12th Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers and entered the service of the Uni- ted States in that capacity, at that date. On the 7th of August, 18G1, I was appointed by the President of the United States, Captain and Assistant Quartermaster at Pittsburg, Pa., where I also performed, at the same time, the duties of Acting Commissary of Subsistance and Recruiting Officer. Whilst on duty at Pittsburg, my dis- bursements in these several capacities amounted to S-IO.IOS.-W. On the IGth of October, ISGl, I was ordered to proceed to Indianapolis, Indiana, and took charge of the Quartermasters' Department at that place, on the 2Sth of the same month. I remained at Indianapolis on this duty until the 24th of December, 1863, and during this period— twent}--!'ix months— I disbursed and properly accounted for the sum of 57,507,770.4.). Of this amount 5:.<,80S,- 608.75, were disbursed for 28,211 horses, 5,G3i:raules, 132,G8« bushels of corn, 33,150 bushels of oats, r.,357 tons of hay, 512tons of straw, 23,058 cords of wood, and for miscellaneous supplies ; fcl,3o4,- 422.53 for transportation of troops and supplies and services in Quartermaster s Department ; and Ji2,347,730.15 for clothing, camp and garrison eriiiippage, and incidental expenses of the army. Of the above amount ^83,394.49 were received from sales at public auction of horses abandoned during the Morgan Raid in July 18G3, and taken up by me. ,,.,„.„ ,. ^ , , ^^, „ ^r-, Whilst on duty at Indianapolis I furnished transportation for 145,0,9 enlisted men and foi 9,..G2 tons of Quartermaster's, Commissary's and ordnance stores.

Terreli,, Adjutant General of Indiana. Sik:— In obedience to the request of the Governor, as expressed in your circular of Augu«t 2d I •will endeavor to report respecttully, in a brief manner, some of the more important facts observed during my connection with the Sixty-Sixth Regiment Indiana Infantry in regard to those things that inlluence the health of an army. As my Regiment, during my connection with it, of one year and a half's duration, only partici- pated in two small engagements, my opportunities for studying wounds were nut as good iit< that of many other medical oHicers, and to those I will leave the task of reporting on that subject. The few facts of which I wish to speak are those that are connected with the sanitary condition of an army ; facts not developed during this war, but strengthed by the observations and experiences of those entraged in it. The diseases that principally afflict an army in the field may be appropriately arranged into six general classes with reference to their etiology. Those tliat"result from cold, as contracted by sleeping on the ground and exposure to iuclenunt weather; those that result from errors in diet, as excessive and irregular eating, or eating badly cooked and utherwise unwholesome food; tliose that result from fatigue a:id over exertion ; those that result from infection ; tliose that result from miasmatic iiitluence, and those that are the result of injuries received in battle. Perhaps in few cases are the diseases that prevail, the result of any one of these causes acting separately. At all times these causes all exist, to a greater or less extent, and often conspire to bring on diseased action. The two tirst causes mentinoned, namely, cold and errors in diet, attracted my attention mostly, since they could be averted to a greater extent than they usually are, but for certain reasons M-hich I will I ndeavor to explain. The Ameriian citizen, the most bravo and patriotic man in the civilized world — the man most ready to abandon the peaceful pursuits of private life, to volunteer in the defense of his country, and to endure all the hardships and privations of the tented field fnr his country's good, is, nevi'r- theless, from the very character of the institutions under which he was reared, an unwilling sub- ject to military discipline. He is not insuburdinute, but submits to the strict rules of military disci- pline only from a sense of duly to his country. He guards well his individual right, aiid is extremely jealous least some tyrannical officer, under the pretense of enforcing military discipline, subjects him to unnecessary rules. The anathemas that he hurls against such an offender proves well the character that I have ascribed to him. This being true, it is often extremely difficult to convince the American soldier that the most strict attention to personal cleanliness, to the avoidance of unnecessary exposure to cold and rain when off duty, and to the prohibition of certain articles of diet and particular uiodns of cooking which experience has provt-ii highly prejudicial to the health of an army, is actually necessary to his self-preservation, and is not merely an infringement upon his individual privileges by usurping officers. Not seeing clearly tlie necessity of these things, during the first months of his soldier-lifo, ho is often unwilling to earrj out the suggestions of his medical officer, and apparently regards them as vindic'.ive attacks upon his individual rights. A want of co-operation, therefore, between the surgeon and soldier in an effort to enforce strict sanitary regulations, is one of the standing difficulties in the army of the United States. The BUigeou, baffled in his efforts to discharge his duty, through the want of the assistance of the soldier, next appeals, through the commanding officer of the regiment, to the company officers to enforce his sanitary measures. , Here another difficulty arises; in the volunteer service, during the first years of the war, officers were in many instences elected or promoted on the recommendation of the men. \V hen this was the custom, individual interest sometimes conflicted with official duty. The inferior officers to whom were entrusted the enforcement of these sanitary regulations, knowing that many of the men were violentlv opposed to them, would allow them to evade the order, rather than incur their displeasure and thereby lose their promotion. Hence, I conclude that the election of officers in an army, however much it may be in accordance with our Democratic institutions, is, nevertheless, detrimental to its health and discipline. Having secured the enfocement of sanitary measures, the most important method of contracting cold and the diseases resulting therefrom, that of sleep- ing on the crouud must be constantly guarded against. All military o.xperience has proven this a most prolific source of disease. The oil-cloth, an indispenslble article in the outfit of a soldier, is a valuable aid in case of emergency, as it will, when spread on the ground, afford niueh protection ; but it will not keep out dampness, unless some rubbish be placed between it and the ground, and must not be relied upon wholly for general use. Vol. 1.— 19. 290 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. The errors in dU^t wliirh cotitribute so much to tlio diseases of an nrniy arp of ;t two-fold chnr- acter, namely : The mode of prepanitioii and tlio mnnncr of eating the food. In regard to the mode of preparation, that practice bo stubbornly persisted in by the Western soldier, of frying meat and bread, is, of all others, tlio most reprehensible. Wo have seen the sick list rise and fall twenty or thirty per cent, in two or three days, upon the adoption or abandonment of this practice. E.xcessive eating, in the army of the United States, is a common occurrence, notwithstandiiiK the cry of " liard tack." The ration, when issued in full, and of pood quality, is more than sutli- cienl to meet the demand of the system, but as there i.s surh a monotony about the diet of an army the cravings of the appetite for a change is absolutely irresistible; and the soldier will purchase from thn pie and cake venders and from the suttler any and every edible thing offered for sale. Tins is more strictly true of convalescents whose appetites are abnormal, and it is from thi- cause that many diseases originate, and from it many relapses are brought on in diseases from which the soldier was recovering. To remove this cause — to break up this practice — is almost an impossibility. I have, in connection with this subject, long since become thoroughly convinced that pie and cake venders and suttlers are not orjly an unnecessary accompaniment to an army, but absolutely a nuisunee. They seldom have anything actually necessary to human existence; and not often any of the luxuries of life, beyond the tobacco line. If the Government would add to the ration list th;it indispensable article, tobacco, (indispensable from habit and practice, but not in fact,) and abolish tlie office of sutler, and leave the snjiply of luxuries to bo furnished by the people, as vol- untary contributions, through the Sanitary Commission, it would certainly be an improvement in the sanitary condition of the army. The Sanitary Commission — an institution called into existence during the late rebellion — will henceforth become permanent in its character, and wherever the calamity of war shall fall on a civilized nation, its ministering angels will hover around the field of carnage and smoothe the dying pillow of many a fallen hero, and to its keeping may be safely entrusted tlie duty of supplying the dainties of life to the sick and languishing soldier.

Baelow, QuarlermasUr General of Ohio, Columbus: Sir: — Your letter of the 20th ult., addressed to His Excellency, Governor Morton, askfng fcr in- formation as to the "plan adopted by the State of Indiana for the relief of her soldiers, together with the success and expense to the State Government attendant thereon," has been referred to this office. I regret that there has been so much delay in furnishing a reply to your inquiries, and can only apologize for it by saying that in the hurry of business your letter was misplaced and over- looked. Soon after the commencement of the rebellion an appropriation of one hundred thousand dollars was made by the State Legislature and placed at the disposal of the Governor as a Military Contin- gent Fund. From this fund the expenses incurred in looking after and relieving the wants and necessities of our sick and wounded soldiers were defrayed during the year IStil and part of the year 18(i2. Military Agencies were established at various important points, and placed io charge of energetic and humane business men, whose duty it was to render all possible relief to our soldiers, especially to those who wore sick or wounded, whether in transit, in the hospitals, or on the battle- STATISTICS AND DOCUMENTS. 291 tinW. Sanitary stores and hospital sui)plif3, jiurcliaseil in some cases bv tli!' Governor but more fretjufntly donated by the patriotic people of the State, were sent to these Ai;ents, and bv them carefully distributed— the rule being first to supply our own troops and then t"o relieve thos"') from other States, bpecial agents and surgeons were also sent to points where additional aid and assist- ance were required. No portion of the army where Indiana soldiers have served has been neslected and reli f agents, special surgeons and nurses have been continually employed, as the exigencies oi' the hour demanded, in visiting our troops and rendering them all the assistance that humanity and kindness could suggest. Early in 1862 the Governor established in this city an office styled the "General Indiana Military Agency," and placed the same in charge of Mr. William Hannaman, a gentleman of e.xoellent business qualifications and great kindness of heart, whose duty it was to receive and forward i^ani- tary supplies, supervise the several local Military Agencies, and generally to direct all matters relating to relief. [These duties had hitherto been performed, to a limited extent, by the State Commissary General.] A system of reports from the various agencies, and from special agents sent to hospitals and the Held, was adopted, whereby the General Agency was constantly advised of tlio condition and necessities of our sick and wounded, enabling the Governor to send forward, with great promtitude, medical aid, nurses, and supplies to meet the demand. Not only were; the sick and wounded looked after and cared for, but in many cases, particularly in Western Virginia during the severe Cheat Mountain campaign, in the Missouri campaign, at the siege of Island Num- ber Ten, &c., &c., in the winter of 1851-2, whole regiments were supplied with overcoats, shoes, rubber blankets, and other indispensable articles, through the intervention of the relief agents, tiacked up by the persistent efforts of the Executive Department at home. Immediately after the battle of Fort Donelson, in February 18()2, and subsequently whenever oc- casion required, steamers were chartered by the Governor and dispatched with stores, surgeons and nurses to gather up the sick and wounded, minister to their needs and bring them home to our own hospitals or send them to their families and friends. The great good accomplished in this way was conspicuous at Fort Donelson, Shiloh, Corinth, Nashville, Island Number Ten, Memphis, Vicks- burgh, and at other points on the Mississippi river from Cairo to New Orleans where troops have been stationed or battles fought. On several occasions steamers have been loaded entirely with sanitary stores, including vegetables for our regiments, and sent to Vicksburgh, New Orleans and other places, returning with full loads of sick and disabled men. After the disastrous battle of Richmond, Ky., in August 1862, when so many of our wounded were left within the enemies linos, an expedition, with ambulances, medical and hosiiital stores, under the charge of a corps of special surgeons and nurses, was fitted out by the Governor and sent through under a flag of truce, and succeeded in recovering and relieving a large number of sutlerers, who were brought safely and comfortably home. The whole cost of this expedition, including the supplies provided, was less than two thousand dollars. Again — last winter, when so many of our officers and soldiers were imprisoned at Libby and suf- fering, not only for clothing but for proper food, the Governor authorized the purchase of a large lot of suitable provisions in Baltimore, amonuting altogether to five or six thousand dollars, and sent the same to the prisoners under a special arrangement effected by the State Military Agent at Washington with the rebel Agent of exchange at Ilichmond. The larger portion of these supplies, together with a large amount of clothing, quartermasters' stores and tents, for the Belle Ish; prisoners, sent from our State Quartermaster General's department through the game channel,., reached our prisoners in safety and were most acceptably received. I'rom these special cases you will perceive that the general plan adopted in this State has been, in all extraordinary cases, to meet them promptly through the best means within reach at the time. The fund placed at the Governor's disposal from which these expenses could be paid was limited, much of the appropriation being required for other objects of a military nature. No additionali appropriation having been made, other means had to bo devised, to provide for demands w hich were constantly increasing. The success attending the establishment of the general military agency at Indianapolis, having demonstrated the liberality of our people, and their great desire to contribute freely in supplies and money for the benefit of our soldiers, it was deemed advisable to CHtablisli, in connection with the agency, a State Sanitary Commission. Accordingly an organization, with Mr. Hannaman as President, was effected in March 1862, through the medium of which the most grati- fying and satisfactory results have been achieved. The report of the Commission for the present year has not been published, but I have pleasure iu sending herewith a copy of the one last issued which mav be of interest to you. , , , ..,,., i „.

II. II^RliEhL, A<'J<y degrees a considerable quantity of Military Munitions belonging to the United States was accumulateil at this State Arsenal. Issues and receipts for such, as well as of ammunition fabricated there, have been made by order of the Governor, as the necessities of the public service, in his opinion, required. Thus an Arsenal has grown up under Captain Sturm's care, which has been of great service, at times, in providing ordnance sui)plies for the several large armies operating in Western Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri, and Kansas. Issues have been made upon requisitions made by Generals commanding Departments or Divisions, by ordnance oflicers at the depots in Kentucky and Tennessee, and sometimes by commanding officers of regiments and posts or companies. Reiiuisitions by the Chief of Ordnance and United States Ordnance and General Of- ficers have been, in every case, promptly complied with by Captain Sturm, without special refer- ence to the Governor, but in all other cases the Governor approved the requisitions before issues were made. In October, 1801, the Secretary of War visited the Arsenal, and having fully informed himself of tlio operations going on, verbally requesteii the Governor, (as stated to the Commission by Captain Sturm) to continue fabricating ammunition, and by bis order an account amounting to $(i8,70l 00 was paid, January 7th, lS(i2, to the Agent of the State of Indiana, for certain stated quantities of various kinds, at prices censidered reasonable by the Chief of Orilnance ; the quantities paid for having been in part issued (as above stated) and in part remaining still in the Arsenal. Captaiu Sturm submitted to the Chief of Ordnance, soon afterward, a return of all property and stores on hand at the Arsenal, belonging to the United States, up to December ;ilst, 18(11, as is required from United Stases Arsenals, but no direct charge of thir Arsenal, in the details of its opi-rations, lias been assumed by the Ordu.ince Department. As the law does not permit the establishment of a United States Arsenal in this niauuer, nor the purchase or issue of ordnance stores and snp|dies, without the authority of the Chief of Ordnance, the case was reported to the Secretary of War, in November, 18.11, and an officer sent to examine the Arsenal, and to report his viewsas to the advisa- bility of making ammunition there, instead of at the United States Arsenals. December Ilth, liieutenant Crispin, the Inspecting Olheer, reported the results of his visit, "and that, in his opinion, all the wants of the army in that region of country can be supplied by tini( ly requisitions from United States Arsenals, witho'at having recourse to State establishments. " I'bis report was communicated to the lion. Robert Dale Owen, Agent of the State of Indiana, Deceniber .'iOih, and ho was inlurmed "that it was not deemed advisable to continue the preparation of ammunition at Indianapolis, further than may be necessary to consume the materials which have been purchased for the purpose ; and that if supplies are needed by the State, f hey can be furnished from Uniteri States Arsenals." Subsequently, however, to fill requisitions for the supply of the army in the field, (reported to b(« urgently necessary for immediate use) additional materials were purchased, and on the l.jth of February, in answer to the request of (Japtain Sturm, the Chief of Ordnanco promised an immediate supply of powder and lead, and authorized the purchase of buckshot and lead. Slarch .'jth. ISii, the ('bief of Ordnance having been called upon by the Secretary of War, again reported "that the Arsenal is a State establishment," and quoted from liis letter to Hon. Robert Dale Oweu, of December J(.)th. No action, however, was taken, and operations at the Arsenal have since been continued without restriction as to the amount of materials actually on haml, the Governor proposing, with tlie concurrence of the Secretary of War, to lender monthly for " such quiintities of ammnniti.'n as may be used by the United States."

To do otherwise would be grossly treacherous, and justly f-ubject the guilty party to a traitor's doom. From the evidence introduced before said Grand Jury it would seem that the order called the Knights of the Golden Circle had their origin in some of the Southern States, and wc8 introduced into this State from Kentucky. Its [irimary object, when it originated, was to organize the friends of the institution of African slavery in the United States, for the purpose of aciiuiring more terri- tory in Slexico and the ("eiitral .\merican States, and also the acquisition of Cuba, thereby to ex- tend and foster a great slave empire, even thonsjii it sliould dye those countries in human blood. Hence the various raids made upon those countries which have called forth, from time to time, thu proclamations of our former Presidents, denouncing such attempts and threatening the exercise of the power of the Government to put them down. Wicked as these hellish schemes were, sard Grand Jury would not have troubled this Honorable Court wiih this presentment had the n)achinations of the Kniglits of the Golden Circle been conlined solely to their original designs. Finding how useful such an organization was for the i>urposes originally intended, said Grand Jury believe that it not only extends at present through every p^rt of the South, and every department of the rebi 1 army, hut during tlie last winter and spring was introduced into the State of Indiana and other iSortheru States. Since that time it has made ahuniing progress in our midst, with entirely new features attached to it, in view of the unnatural conllict now desolating our country. Not only are the loyal solrliers in th' army to he treacltcroitsly betrayed in the bloody hour of battle, by the signals bef.'re referred to, but said Grand Jnry have abundant evidence of the membership binding themselves to 1-csist the payment of Ike Federal tax and prevent CHliflments in the armies of the United States. It is a fact worthy of note, and conclusively shown, that in localities where this organization extensively prevails there has been a failure to furnish a fair proportion of volunteers. Said Grand Jury, after a thorough examination on that point, liave been unable to find any instance where a mem- ber of mid organi::alion hatl volunteered to tight for the Union under the late requisition for volunteers.

Unfortunately, the Generals commanding have no power to award merit and bravery on the field. I can, therefore, only appeal to the justice of the Governors of the States represented in this Department. To reward service in the field by prompt promotion is one of the greatest incentives to individual action, as it is a special mark of personal merit. Commanding officers of Divisions, Brigades, Regiments, and Corps, will he directed to make recommendations for filling vacancies in their respective commands, statiug the particular service and merit of the individuals recommended. These reports will be immediately forwardi d to tho Governors of States, and it is sincerely hoped that they will not be disregarded in issuing now commissions.

HaviDg received information that a rebel force, estimated to be six thousand stronir, with six pieces of artillery, had crossed the Ohio river into Harrison county, I issued a call on Thursday last, to the patriotic citizens of the State to leave their various occupations and turn out fur its defence, and, it possible, capture the insolent invaders. The evidence was abundant that the orici- iial purpose ot the rebels was lo S'-ize, plunder, and burn the Capital, but as their course would be uncertain, it was necessary to make preparations to encounter them in every direction. Within forty-eight hours from the time the call was issued, not less than sixty-live thousand men had tendered their services and were on their way to places of rendezvous, while many thousands more were preparing, but were notified to remain at home. Within three days, thirty thousand men, fully ariwed and organized, had taken the field at various points to meet the oneuiy. This wonderful uprising will exert a marked effect throughout the country, exhibiting, as it docs, in the strongest and most favorable light, the military spirit and patriotism of our people. At the first landing on our soil, the rebel advance was met and fought by the neighboring Legion, and, although our forces were few in number, and were driven back, they gave the rebels a clear foretaste of what they might expect when they penetrated the interior of the State. Within ten hours after they entered our borders, their invasion was converted into a rapid and desperate Hight. In whatever direction they turned, they were confronted hy large bodies of armed men. Wherever they approached tiie river, with the view to crossing, they found large bodies of troops prei>ared to dispute their passage. In half a dozen cases tliey were offered battle, which they invariably declined. They dodged and ran by night and by day, and finally succeeded in making their cscapo over our eastern border into Ohio. They are reported to have murdered several of our citizens in cold blood— to have plundered many of their horses, money, and goods, and to have burned and otherwise destroyed much valuable property. The injury done to the railroads was slight, and has been almost entirely repaired. They had but little time to do damage beyond the murder and plunder of surprised and defeucelesa citizens along the line of their flight. For the alacrity with which you responded to my call, and left your harvest fields, your work- shops, and offices, and took up arms to protect your State and punish the invaders, allow ni", on behalf of the State, to tender my hearty thanks. Your example will not bo lost upon the nation, and j'ou have taught the rebels a lesson which will not be forgotten. In the light of these events, it is impossible not to perceive the importance of a thorough organi- zation of the Legion. The presence of an organized force, ready to take the field at a monient'.i notice, is a standing security against invasion and depredation, and I am very anxious that, so far as it is possible, the temporary organizations of the "Minute Men" may be converted into perma- nent ones under the law, and that exertions will everywhere be made to recruit the ranks of the Legion and perfect its drill and efficiency.

LOSSES AND mPRESSMENT OF PROPERTY DURING THE MOR- GAN RAID. GENERAL CARRINGTON'S ORDER. To Sufferers by the John Morgan Raid : In view of the exigencies of the harvest and the interruption of the farming interests by the John Morgan Raid, in this vicinity, the following present disposition is made of cases submitted : I. All horses abandoned by Morgan, or Gen. Hobson, and found by citizens, will be reported to the Provost Marshal. If holders have lost horses in the raul, or by impre^'sment of the Federal for- ces, and the harvest cannot otherwise be gathered, they may be permitted to retain those found for present use, upon giving sufficient security for their good keeping and for their return, upon proof of ownership, or other direction of proper authority. , . ., t>„„„„., iir„v.i...i ,..

VIII. Claims for de.striiction of buildings, or seizure of other property, may be filed while th<- facts are fresh of recollection, under the siiecification of paragraph four, subject to such decision as to payment as is reserved in behalf of the government. IX. By proper care in description, most of the horses seized may bo recovered. Patience is needed on the part of all interested, as well as a readiness to assist each other. While exact justice may not be realized, an approximation to it will be secured by a cordial co-operation in the etfort to find true owners for stock found. X. It is especially urged that in the meantime all farmers assist each other in gathering the ripened harvest, that the disaster may bo lessened and order the sooner restored. XI. As it is known that some citizens gathered up horses abandoned by John Morgan and sold them to the U. S. Quartermaster and U. S. Soldiers, due notice is given that in every such case such persons found making reclamation for horses so furnished, or known to have made such sales, will be reported to the proper authorities for such trial as may be proper, the Southern counties of Indi- ana being at this time under martial law.

EXECVTIVE Dei-aktme.nt of IxniANA, Decembar 19th, 1803. To Brigadier GsNERAt M. 0. Meigs, Quartermaster Gcneml of the United States. Sir : It is known to the Government tliat, in the month of .July 18t;3, the rcbid General Morgan, croSKinp; the Ohio Jiiver, invaded Imliaiia with a hostile force ; that Briiradier General Willcox, a Federal oflicer, a'jting under tlie commanil of Major General Biirnside, was, at the time General iu Command of the Uisiriet of Indiana, and that at the time of the above raid, there were very few troops that had been mustered into tlie service of the United States, within the said State of Imliana. In this emergency General Willcox called upon Governor Morton for volunteers to which the Governor and the citizens at once resjionded. Within three or four days fifteen thousand were assembled at or near Indiannpolih, anil as many more in other portions of the State. As fast as these could be armed iinil equipped, General Willcox took command of them. Of all these troops he de- termined the movements and the disposition. In the course of the military operations which ensued, it became necessary to take or purchase horses and other supplies for tluse troi^ps. The olliiers by whom these supplies were taken or purcliHsed were, in a strict technical sense, not Keihral officers; they had not been regularly mustered into the service of the United States, and they had been originally appointed by State authority. Under these circumstances, the United States' Quartermaster at Indianapolis conceives that he has not, without instructions from yourself sutiiceut authority to make payment for horses or other military supplies so takeu or purchased. I respectfully submit it is in ac( ordance certainly with the spirit, and I think with the letter of the law, that such paymenis should be made, in the same manner ami under the same circiim- Btances, as if the ofhcers receiptiii:^, nomiruilly State oflicers but actually under the orders of a Brigadier General of the United States, had been mustered into the service of the General Govern- ment, subject to the control of the General Government, through one of its Generals in the field, and bound, in all things, to obey his orders, whether these related to an advance upon the invading oneuiy or to the taking or puichasiiig of such supplies as were necessary to meet the urgent demands of the service, their acts, when in themselves lawful and in accordance with military usage, were virtually the acts of the General Commanding ; since he who legally acts by another is himself, in law, the actor. If thi'se State ofTicrrs made these demands or purchases, it was only because there were not Federal oflicers t

It will be seen that Congress only provides for the payment of claims for Quartermasters' antJ Commissaries' supplies and stores actually furuic-hed to or taken by Uiiited States troops f I)am- ases, thefts, and depredations committed by either army, and captures by the enemy, are not included in the act, and there is no provision of law authorizing the payment of such claims. Indeed, it has always been the settled ])cdicy of the United States Gc)vei niuent, to decline the adjustment and payment of claims of this character. Since the Morgan Kaid, si'veral bills have intioduced into Congress providing for a change of this policy, but thi-y have all failed to pa.ss. The I,egislaturo of Ohio, iu 18ii4, authorized the appointment of a State Commission for tl>o purpose of investigating and certifying the claims of all persons who furni.-hed snppliis, i.r suffered losn or damage in that State by the Morgan liaid. The Commission wiis duly appointed, and, after due notice was given, attended in the several counties through which Morgan's command ])assed, and investigated a largo number of cases brought before them. The testimony establishing or atlecting claims was thus perpetuated, and was duly laid before the Legislature; but that body, a.* ill our own State, refused to pass any law or make any appropriation for their paynirut. After thu Legislature adjourned. Brigadier General Cowen, Adjutant General of Ohio, undertook the work of lircparing a certain class of the claims for presentation to the proper Departments at Washington, which had been authorized by Congress to audit and pay them. In his recent report, General Cowen, referring to thi.s matter, says: "The claims selected were those for supplies delivered to or taken by the Union forces under command of United States military officers. To place thtse claims in proper form to comply with the reijuirements of the War Department, further evidence than had been required by the Slate Commission was absolutely essential. To do this, much lime and labor has been required, but the claims have now been for some time in the hands of the proper officers at Washington, and it ia hoped that their payment will be commenced at an early day. " Inasmuoh as many of the claims audited and allowed b.v the State rommission were for dam- ages or losses sustained by thefts or depredations committed by troojis, ami, therel'ore, not a projjer class for payment by the Geneial Government, tli is class of claims was left untouched, and are now as they Wert iLft on the adjournment of tlu^ Commis3k)i>." General Cowen further shows, by a published list, giving the names and residences of 54S> claim- .ints. that he has certified and forwarded accounts in their favor as follows: To the Quartermaster (ieneral's Department, §ii4,ti73 U8 ; to the Commissary General's Department, .Sl,<'>*2 'M. The claims which accrued in Indiana for commissary supplies furnished United States forces, were mostly settled soon after the raid by Captain Thomas Fuster, United States .'irmy. Commissary of Subsistence, then stationed at this post, so that the majority of claims yet nnadjuslid are for horses and other quartermaster's sapplies, and should bo settled through the United Slates Quarler- General's Department, as before stated. What action ought lo be taken liy the State with regard to the claims for damages, and for prop- erty taken or destroyed by the enemy, I am unable to advise, but, in the absence of any other plan, think it not imprcjpir to suggest, in anticipation of some future action for the relief of llnse claimants, that measures be taken now, to secure and preserve the evidence upon which the validity of tieir claims may depend. If this is delayed, it will be diflicult, and in many cases impossible, to ascertain the facts necessary to establish their demands. nocuinrnt Ko. IIS.

GOVERNOR MORTON'S MESSAGE TO DIE EXTRA SESSION OF THE LEGISLATURE, AI'RIL 2.3, ISCl. (retUlcmen of the Senate and House of Ilepresentatices : You have been sumiiioncd togctliei' uniler cirouiiistaiicos of tlic most grave ami importiiiit clmrttc- ter. Our country is placed in a conilitioii hitherto univuowu in lur history, and onn which all pa- triots and lovers of liberty throughout the world had fonilly hoped would never occur, ("ivil war, that has ever been the bane of republics, ha.s been inaugurated by certain rebellious Statics which, niimindfnl of their constitutional obligations, and regarding not our common history, blood, inter- ests and institutions, are seekjug to disnu'mber the nation and overthrow the Federal Government. !"0 wisely, and as we had believeil, pr-rmanently established by our fathers. The oriuin of this most wicked reb( llion dates back more than thirty yc^ars. It is well known that ilislinguished Southern statesmen, as early as 182!), cherished the dream of a vast Southern Slaveholiiing Confederacy, comprehending the conquest of Cuba, Mexico and Central America. The (letcrniiTiation was then formed to break our Republic into pieces by any available luete.xt. The first one seized upon by South Carolina was the taritT question; and had not the nation had for its Exe(Mitive a man greatly distinguished for patriotism, courage, and decisior. of character, wide- gpreading and disastrous consequences might liavo followed. By jjrompt and energetic action the rebellion was crushed out for the time, to be revived, as subsequent events have shown, ou new pre- tenses and in aTiother form. The election of a President of the United States, through the forms of the Constitution, entertain- ing opinions obnoxious to certain States of the Confederacy is boldly publisln^d to the world as .just cause for the dissolution of the Union, and bringing on, if necessary for that purpose, all the lior- rors of a bloody revohition. It would be an insult to your intelligence to argue that the admission of this pretense as a justitication would be clearly fatal to all republican government ; that poiinhir institutions can only be sustained by submission to the will of the ])eople as expressid through the forms of the Constitution, trusting to the peaceful remedy of the ballot-bo.\ for the redress of griev- ances. And the wickedness of this pretense is greatly aggravated by the reflection that it is utterly hypocritical ; thai it was only put forwaril in furtherance of schemes cntertaiued for years and sup- ported by notoriously false assumptions of fact and logic. When we read the history of the late Democratic Convention at Charleston by the light of subse- ■riuent events, can we fail to see that the sclnnie of sect-ssion and dismembrrnienl of the re|iublic waH then completcdy formed, and that tiie disruption of that Convention was one of the steps towards it.s consummation. If confirmation of this opinion were needed, it will be found in the fact that -certain traitorous members of Blr. Bm hanans Cabinet were systematically engaged, for many • months before th(i late Presidential election, in placing the arms and defenses of the nation in a po- sition to he readily seized by the seceding States. Secessicjn was at first argued as a right springing from the Constitution itsidf, but as the move- ment gained strength, the flimsy pretext was abanilonelnnder of na- tional propi'rfy, and the forcible exi)nlsion of the agents and officers of the Ti-deral Government. From tif.' very first, and at every steji in its jirogress, it has been distinguished by acts of hostility and outrage, alike injurious to the nation and insulting to the people of the loyal States. The Si cessionists were profoundly convinced that the co-operation of the Border Slave States could not be procured without a conflict of arms between them and the Federal Government, and hence have labored assiduously to place the government in a position that o collision could not be avoided, except by the most abj'Ct submission and humiliation. The intention to force a conflict has been most apparent, and delay was sulfcred only that they might complete their i)reparations ; and when at last their preparations were complete, ami wearied by the long forbearance of the government, they inaugurated hostilities by assaulting and reducing Fort Sumter. The i)lac(^ where Fort >uniter is situated had been regularly ceded by the State of South Carolina to the Federal Government, and by an express provision of the Constitution was under the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States. It was unfinished, and held bj' a garrison of less than one hun- dred men, ami while in this condition was invested by a largo army, cutting off all ai)proach to it by sea or land. The stock of provisions was almost exhausted, and the immediate iirosi)ect was pre- sente- upon t e t' r T.^^ln ""'P' ^" "f'^epte.i. Every nmn" must take th.rd party can stand.

The events of the last ten days are pregnant with instruction and moral grandeur. They present the action of a people who nave suffered much aud waited long; who were slow to take otfense and incnduluus of tn^ason and danger, but who, when the dread appeal to arms was made and the issue could no longer be avoided with honor or safety, promptly abandoned the peaceful pursuits of life and devoted themselves to the service ot their country. I trust that the force of this lesson may not be lost upon our erring brethren of the South, and that they will at once perceive they have inaugurated a coutest from winch tliey cannot emerge with honor and profit. On the loth day of the present month the President of the United States issued his Proclamation calling upon the loyal States to furnish 7.5,000 men for the jirotection of the Government, the sup- pression of rebellion and the enforcement of the laws. Subsequently the quota to be furnished by Indiana was fixed at six regiments, of seven hundred and seventy men each. In obedience to this call I issued my Proclamation calling for volunteers, and in less than eight days more than 12,00() men have tendered their services, and the contest among companies has been earnest and exciting as to which shall secure a place within the quota. This response has been most gratifying and ex- traordinary, aud furnishes indubitable evidence of the patriotism of Indiana, and h:r entire devo- tion to the Union. Without distinction of party, comiition, or occupation, men have rallied around the national standard, and in every part of the State may be heard the sound of martial music and witnessed the mustering of companies into the field. In view of this remarkable re- sponse made to the Proclamation, on the 'JUth inst. I tendcrred to the President, for the service of the United States, six additional regiments; but telegraphic and postal communication having been cut off with Washington, no answer has been received up to this time. A camp was formed in the neighborhood of this city for the reception of the troops, and Major Wood, of the U. S. Army, has been busily engaged for several days in mustering them into the service. There are in canlp companies, being an excess of the number called for by the I'resident, ar.d in addition to that, e^very company largely exceeds, and in some instances more than doubles the number that can be finally received into the company. Some companies came by mistakes unavoidably occurring in the office of the Adjutant General, and others without marching orders. Thcj- will be retained io camp, and provided with quarters and subsistence, awaiting the action of the Legislature I can not refrain from here expressing the opinion that has been uttered by maLy who bavo visited tha •camp, that finer material for a gallant army was never assembled. 310 ADJUTANT GENEHAL's REPORT.

I Regiment th day of .\ugust, ]8(;2, he called for a second .300,000, to be raised by a draft, if enough volunteers could not be prccured. V"nder each call the quota of Indiana was ti.\ed by the War Department at 21,2.00 men, making tho 42,;")(il) men. By the 20th of September both of these calls had been lilled liy volunteers, except (!,0()0, for which number it became necessary to draft. The number of men to be drafted was a[iportioned among the townships, giving credit to each township for all the volunteers previously furnished. When the enrollment was completed it was found that six hundred and thirty-tive townsliijis had furnished the number required of them, leaving the detieiency to be supplied by the remaining three linndred and thirty-lour township.-i. Tlie quota of each township was assigned on the 20th of September, and the draft took place on the tith day of October. The privilege (jf volunieering to supijly the deficiency was continued up to the time of the draft, at which time the number required by bearing,' arms, "l vU no be compelled to do mihtar}' d«ty and as the authoriSv by which the draft v,-a«.nade vas derived BoleW from the (.c of Congress, and tfee .act,_04i of the War Department.

Siddall, Esq., a Commissioner, under whose direction and supervision the ilraft was made. Ilis diilicB were novel and difficult, but were performed with great promptness :and ability. His report is herewith subjiiitted. . SIX REGIMENTS. At the extra session of the Legislature, an act was passed authorizing the organization of six regiments of State troops, enlisting for the period of twelve months. These regiments were raised, and shortly after their orgiuEizatioa four of them were permitted to re-organize and enter the service of th? United States, for three year« or during the war ; the remaining two were siibse- <}uent!y transferred to the service of the United States, uiidei apiovisioc i,i the act authorizing such transfer to fill the requisition for tioops made by the Presiileiit of the United States, the gen- eral Government assuming all ej;penses incurred in tiieir organization and support. SUPP1>IES. During the first five months of the war there was no Feder.Tj Quartoroiaster in this State, and the geaeral Govern nj,ent funiisiied no supplies of any kind for the equipment of Indiana troops, but all necessary supplies were furnished by the State. The State has also furnished large sup,plies from time to time, since that, where they were required for the health and prompt equipment of our troops, and whore the GovernKsent iias failed or was unable to farnish t!,ei;i in time. STATE AEMS. When the war began the s,to<;k of arms on hand belonging to the Governmeut was small and generally of a very inferior qualitj. It was due to the lives and honor of the brave men who went to the field ; to tlie character of the State and the success of our cause, tliat our troops sl,o,,ld be furnislied witii the best arms that could be procured. Accordingly I sent my agents into the market from time to time, and purchased tlie best arnT* that could be obtained n|ion fair terms, and this I coutinaed to do until such time as the Federal Government requested the States to desist from the further purchase of arms, alleging that it increased tlie competition and raised the prices, and declaring that it would supply all troops, and would pay for no more arms jnirt based by the State. With the exception of a tew thotasauo, all the first class arms in the liand^ of Indiana troops were purchased by the State: but it has been a source of great trouble and morlification, that a large portion of our troops, desiiite of all efforts made, have beea supplied with arms of au inferior q«ility. In the months of August and September last, the rebel array entered Kentucky and the war was brought to our very border; the Ohio river was low, and could be forded in many places by cavalry, and even infantry, and the peace of the State was seriously threatened. In this ennrgency, I Relieved it to be my duty to purchase ten thousand superior arms for the use of Indiana troops, and I sent an agent to New York, who succeeded in puri h.ising that ,iumber of the first quality at fair prices. ?dr. D. K. Martin, President of the Ocean Bank, without requiring any sex-urity, and upon the credit of the State, advanced the money to pay for them, in all 8i:iT,-2(i9 :«l. Shortly after the purchase of the arms, the rebel force was drive,! from Kentucky, the tide of war flowe.l back from our borders, and tlie danger so seriously tlireateuiiig the State passed away. At that time, wo had in the State about eight thousand troops prenariiig for service, but who were Juuarnied, ami no arms had been provided for them at all proper to be taken to the field. I therefore put these arms iu their hands upon a special agreement of the Government, to pay tor them at once. There was a delay of a few weeks in getting the warrant through the lieparlmeuts at \\ ashington, hut the Guverimieut has now pad the principal, but not the inter<-«t: the oflicers ot the Treasury alleging the want of authority to pay the interest. ARSENAL. When our first regiments were ready to take the field, they wei* unprovided with ammunition, and as none could be readiiy procured, it became necessary to have it prepared. ,Mr. Sturm, now the Lieutenant Colonel of the 5ttb Regiment was engaged lor that purpose H'^ had studied the art in Europe, and was thoroughly instructed in all its details He succeeded well in the enter- prize from the .beginning and his ammunition was pronounced the very best in use. Thus was the Arsenal established, and as the demand for ammunition daijy incn^ased, and tlie neccssi y so far from passing away, became constantly greater as the war progressed, what was hr.n intended as a te.nporary "convenience, became a large and permanent cstab K~hment ^ J'''-"7»" .,'-'°''«' Sturm continued at the head of the establishment, managing it with great success and ability, pre- paring amn.u.itiou of every description, for artillery and small arms, not only supp ying our own .trooprwheii going to the field, but sending immense quantities to the armies in the West and 312 ADJUTANT GENERA r/s REPORT. Soiitb. Ill several oniergencies, the armies in tlio \Vesf aoil South were supplied from here, whoa they cuilUl not ijiucure it in time lioiii other Jirseiial.-i. and serioim disastiTM Iherehy avoided. Shortly after the Arsenal was fully e»tuljljslied, it waH brought to the attention of the War Depart- ment, and the ammunition having heen thoroughly tested, the Government agreed to pay for wlmt liftd already been i.ssiied, and to receive and pay for what should be prepared thereafter, at price* which were mutually satisfactory to both partie.s. These prices wern Keiierally bidow what the Government paid for ammunition, but such as it was believed would fairly indemnify the Stati- for all costs and expenses incurred on that account. Every etTort was made to conduct the operation.'* of the AiB-nal with gri-at economy, while paying a fair price to the many operatives employed. Persons have been iinployed souieliims to the number of live hundred, and profitable occupation has thus been furnished to many who otherwise wnuld have wanted the means of support. My direction to Colonel Sturm was to give the preference to those whose relatives and supporters were in the field. Up to the first day of January, 1802, there has been prepared at the Arsenal 92,0C0 rounds of artil- lery ammunition, and 21,^1.5,50(1 rounils of amniuiiition for small anus. The report of Lieutenent Colonel Sturrii, herewith submitted, will show the extent and result of the operations in the Arsenal. An exauiination of the Arsenal account will show that the State has not lost a dollar by it. Tlio prices fixed for the ammunition were intended merely to cover all costs and expenses incurred itk its preparation, but by economy and successful management, a balance will be found in favor of the State. QUARTERMASTKR AND COMMISSARY GENERAL. The first Quartersna.ster General I appointed after the beginning of the war, was General Thotoas A. Morris. He held the otiice but a. slmrt time, when he resigned, ami was succeeded by General John II. Vajen, who remained in ofhee till March 12th, lsti2, wlieu he resigned, and was succeeded by General John C. Nc^w. On the l:;th day of October, 1SU2, General New resigned, and General Asahel .^tone, the present acting (jiiartermaster General, was appoinKnl. The reports of these several officers are herewilh submitted. General Isaiah Mansur, the first Commissary General, resigned en the 20th day of May, 18C1, ami was succeeded by General Asahel Stone, who has held the otlico since. Their reports are herewith submitted. The operations in the Quartermaster and Commissary Departments have been large, involving many contracts, an- cnre (hschariies and furloughs, made it necessary to provide quarters where th.-y could r.^ceive h„lir- ing and suI.siRtence during their stay Accordin>:ly I procured the erection of a "Sol.iier-s Home '' which has been, in the main, well managed, and has been the source of relief and comfort \o thousands. While upon this sulyect, it is with great pleasure that I lay before you the rep„rt of I>r. llauna- man and Alfred Harrison, Esq., the President and Secretarr of th^ Sanitary Commission. Ihe Commission began its operations regularly on the lirst of March, 18ii2, and up to the first of .January, 18b:!, had received trom various sources, in goods and money, the sum of SDO 0!-^8 51 Punng the same peiiod they have supplied to sick and wounded Indiana soldiers SiiO.:i7n.31, in such articles as were beat suited to their wants and coudition, leaving a balance in their hands of S'2,0-12.80 in goods, and 82,7()8.4il in money. I avail myself of this opportunity to "tender, on behalf of the State, to the officers of the Com- mission, and the gentlemen associated with them, my sincere thanks for the unremitting industry and devotion with which they have labored, without reward or the hope thereof, in this great work of patriotic benevolence. The above statement only embraces those snpplies of stores and money whrch have passed through the "Jiands of the Commission, and does not include those large but irregular contributions which flov/ed through so many other channels for the relief of our sick and wour.ded soldiers. The greater part of all the stores, in whatever manner sent, have been contributed bv the noble and patriotic women of Indiana. Not only have they contributed most liberally of tlieir money, but they have labored unceasingly with their hands In preparing those articles so necessary to the comfort and recovery of tlie sick and wounded. They have their reward in the inexpressible gratitude that swells the hearts of the brave men who are the recipients of their deeds of mercy. On this subject I quote a brief extract from the report of the Oommission : "The committee desire to express, in the strongest terms, their gratitnde to the women of Indi- ana who have responded, with all the enthasiasm and generosity of their se.x, to the calls of the committee; they have in fact done the work, by their labors, their contributions, and their exanr- ple ; the committee have been merely their agents in receiving and dispensing the frnits of their unbounded liberality. The same work and labor of love is still before them, and the same spirit which has so far actuated them will, no donbt, continue to furnish occupation for the Commission so long as the occasion requires it." Immediately upon the first cst.ablishment of camps in this city, the trejitmeut of the sick was committed to the care of Drs. Kitchen and Jameson. I subsequently authorized the establishment of a Hospital here, known as the "City Hospital," under the care and direction of the same gen- tlemen. Their administration has been highly successful and satisfactory, and the Hospital is justly regarded as one of the very best in the United States. The whole number of patients treated at this hospital, from May 1, ISnl, to January 1, 18'i:!, was 5,495. Your attention is invited to the report of Drs. Kitchen and Jameson, and to the just acknowl- edgment therein made of the services of the "Sisters of Providence." WAR LOAN- By an act of the Legislature, approved May 1.3, 1801, the Governor was authorized to issNO bomls to the amount of S2, 000,(100, bearing interests at the rate of 6 per cent, per annum, payable semi- annually, and falling due 20 years after date, and Hugh McCullough, James M. Ray and John H. O'Boyle, Esqs., were appointed a Hoard of Loan Commissioners to negotiate their sale. Hugh McCullough, Esq., having failed to accept the position, I appointed Jesse J. Brov/n, Esq., to till the vacancy. The report of the operations of the board is herewith submitted, from which it will appear that the bonds were sold on terms favorfvble to the Slate, in view of the then depressed condition of the money marked, and when compared with the sale of other Western securities. Of the whole amount sold 81, 225, 5uO. 00 remains outstanding, and are a debt against the State. The remainder having been redeemed at the same price at which they were sold, adding only interest Jor She time they were outstanding. To provide for the payment of this debt, a tax was levied, the proceeds of which, it is cstimat"cd, will extinguish it iu four years. NATIONAL DIRECT TAX. By the Oth section of an Act of Congress approved August fith, 1S61, a direct annual tax of twenty milUons of dollars was levied upon the United States, and apportioned among the several states. The apportionment devolved the payment of 8901,875.33 on the State of Indiana. By the 53d section of the Act it was provided that any State might assume, assess and collect its portion of the tax and pay the same into the Treasury, and if thus paid on or before the last day &I June of the year for which it was levied, should entitle such State to a deduction ol filteen Pfr cent, of the gross amount to be paid by such State. The section further provKles that notice "/he in- tention of the State to assume and pay her portion of the tax, without the '"'''"■^"V'^ "^ '"''l *^ deral officers, must be given to the Secretary of the Treasury by the <^."yernor -^-^ P";f P^"^ officer, on or before the second Tuesday of February of each year in which t''^'. ^ax is to be paid The section also contains this proviso: That the amount of direct tax "PP"'^ '°",^f, *^^ »."y/^^''''^ shall be liable to be paid or satisfied in whole or iu part by the release of «"^'if ''''''' ''"'>;„Y amount the United States, of any liquidated and determined claim of any ^»<^h Mate, of equal aniouut against the United States : Provided, that in case of such release, ^'"^h State shal be -'l°«^d ^^^ same abatement of the amount of such tax as would be allowed in case of the pajmcnt of the same s in nionev officially signed, of which a copy is herew S14 ADJCTANT <5ENERAl\s REPORT. would pav hcT portion of the direct tax witUnut tho intervention of Federal ofllcers, and proposing to si't off iiKitlnst till! :'am(i a like sura iluc- to tli'?

It then be(-auie obvious that our accounts wouUI not be settled and adjusted by the last day of June, ISGl, so as to be " liquidated and determined " within the meaning of the Act of Congress, as before quoted, and that, after all, our set off against the tax was aliout to fail. Accordingly, I brought the matter to tho attention of our Congressional delegation, and asked them to procure, if possihb', surli legislation as would facilitate the settlement of our accounts, and if that ci>uld not be done, to procure an extension of the time io which accounts (;ould be filed Knd settlements made, so that the advantage of the set off nee9,"--l* :i'>).

Our t^o(.p^^, hitherto engaged in tlm peaceful pursuits of trade and asrritultnm, have manifested that lofty courage and high-toned chivalry of which other, have talke.l so nineh and possessed so little, and which bdongs only to the intelligent patriot, who understands well th" sacred cause iu which he draws his sword. Indiana has already made a large investment ff her best blood in the cause of this Union, and will never consent to its dismemberment, or a dishonorable peace. The bones of her sons mingle with the soil from Virginia and Missouri to Louisiana, and she will not confess that the sacrilice has been made in vain, or acknowledge that it was in an unholy cause. General nacUleman, Colonels Brown, Bass, Link, Lieutenant Colonels Hendricks, Dvchman, Keith, Grbi-r, Kirkpatrick', Crosswait, Topping and Wolf; .Majors Tanner, Gavitt, May, Arn, Al)bett and Conklin— and many others, of lower rank, but witii valor not less dislinguislied, have yielded up their lives upon the field that our country might be preserved. Thousands of our private sohli.-rs, with equal courage and patriotism, have fallen, the victims of this unnatural rebellion. They were fighting from devp convictions of duty and the love they bore their country. Their unlettered graves mark an hun- dred batile-tields, and our country can never dischai-go to their memory and th.-ir jxisterity the debt of gratitude it owes Our s-'ratiiude should be testified by tlie tender care we take of their families and deiiendent ones whom they left behind, by the education of their children, and by the honor we pay to their memory. Nor should we forget those who have perished by disease in the camp or hospital. They were detiied tlie soldier's privilege of dying in battle, but their sacrifice was none the less. To die in the field, amid the clash of contending armies and the roar of battle, fi^ihting in a holy cause, is glo- rious ; lint when death comes slowly on, in the loneliness and desolatiuu of the hospital, with no mother or sister present to soothe the passing spirit and minister as only love caw minister; with none but the rough hand of a comrade to press the clammy brow and perloriu the last offices to the dying, it it terrible. SOLDIERS' FAMILIES. Notwithstanding all that was being done by public and private benevolence, toward supporting the families of soldiers, the evidence came to me from every part of the State, that many families were destitute, and that great suffering must ensue during this winter, unless active steps were taken to raise contributions and provide for the needy. Accordingly, I issued au appenl to the people of the State, a copy of which is herewith filed, stating the necessity and calling upon all who were able to contribute of their means. 1 i:m grati- fied to be able to report, that a very generous response has been made to the appeal, that active measures have been iuitiated in many counties in the State, to relievo the necessities and provide for the comfort of the families of our soldiers who have abandoned home and all its endearments to fight the battles of our country. The clergy of the State were especially called upon to engage in the work of visitation and collecting contributions, and have, as I am informed, generally responded with zeal and energy. It is, however, manifest that all efforts will fall short of meeting the necessities of the case, and that legislative aid will be required. The circumstances by which we are surrounded are novel and extraordinary, and should be met by prompt and extraordinary measures. I therefore earnestly invite the early and favorable consideration of this subject by the Legislature. LEGION At the E.Ktra Session of the Legislature a of At the E.Ktra Session of the Legislature a Militia Law was jjassed, providing for the organization the Indiana Legion. ■ ■ j .u Although this law was defective in many respects, and should be amended, yet it provided the frame-work of an organization which has rendered most valuable service during the war. lo the oihcers nn.l men of the Indiana Legion, the State chiefly owes the immunity she has enjoyed from inv.ision, plunder and murder by the guerrilla and marauding bands which .nfested many ot the adjoining counties in Kentucky Not only so, their aid and protection has been cheerlully and successfully extended to the loyal citizens of Kentucky, when it has been called for On severa occasions they met the enemy in battle, when they ably maintained the credit of the State, and behaved with'that distinguished courage which has characterized the soldiers o Indiana tl"-';u«''- out this war.

A number of States are in rebellion against the Government, endeavoring to dissolve the Union, and establish a new Confederacy ; they liave large armies in the field, and are making war upon a grand scale. It is said by some that we can compromise, and make peace. But what is meant by compromise? Would roiiseiiting to a dissolution of the Union, disnumberment of our territory and establishment of au Indei)endent Confederacy be regarded as a compromise V If so, we can compromise. Have tlie rebels ever intimated, or held out proposals for peace on- any other terms ? If they have, I have no knowledge of it. On the contrary, they have, in every form and on everj' occasion, declared their unalterable purpose to accept only of disunion and indt-pendence. Some two weeks ago, Wm. L. Yancey, one of the most able and influential men in the rebel States, was in\ited to address the Legislature of Alabama. In the course of his speech, ho review<'d in the most scornful and cont'mptuous language, the proposals of compromise and peace, which bad come from the N.irtli, and spit upon the men who otTered them, declaring that they woulil prove as false to the South as they i ad recreant to the North. He expressed, liowever, a hope th it the South would receive great benefit from dissensions in the Korth, and upon that subjfct used the following language : " We have something to hope, however, from this division of the councils of our enemies — from their fierce party strife and jealousies. Upon this hope let us build our own unity — upon their jeal- ousies let us build our own harmony — upon these clasliings of party interests let us bind together our own patriotic energies — upon their selfishness and folly let us base a prayer to God that he would enable us to exhibit, in behalf our beloved country, a self-sacrificing wisdom, both in opinion and action, in all matters appertaining to our defense." Why then shoulil the people of the North be deluded with the idea that compromise is possible, and tlins induced to abandon their efforts to suppress the rebellion ? Why should they be divided among themselves, and weakened by the proclamation of a hope so utterly fallacious? Some there are who profess to believe that all we have to do to bring about peace and a restoration of the Union, is to lay down our arms and withdraw from the conflict. Peace, temporary and hollow, might be had upon such terms, but not a restoration of the Union. It would be a dishonorable and BhanK'ful surrender, forever tarnishing the character of the Nation, and History would write down as infamous the instruments by which it was accomplished. Others say that we should re-construct the Union, in doing which the New England States should be lelt out. But what have the New England States done that they should be left out ? It is said we are paying heavy duties on imports to sustain their manufacture, and are in that way oppressed. If so, let us repeal them. The New England States are but six, while the States of the North- west alone are nine, with the prospect of an indefinite increase. That, liowever, is not the real objection. It is that their political principles are offensive, and the men who would turn them out, desire to construct a Republic in which they can hold the power. Such a project would be criminal to the last degree, if it were not insane. The fortunes of parties are variable. The party in power to day is down to-morrow, and the victors are, in turn, overwhelmed, and so it goes fiom year to year. The scheme of constructing a Republic, taking in such States as are favorable, and turning out such as are not, presents the last stage of partisan insanity. It would be forming a Republic for the party, and not the party for the Republic. A government founded upon such ignoble purposes could not stand, and would not deserve to. In every point of view, the scheme just considered, is full of dishonor and ruin. Our Union once dissolved, and our present relations broken up, all that is traditional and sacred would be lost, and any future alliances that States might form with each other would be regarded as niefe arrange- ments of convenience, possessing no tie beyond the interests of the hour, and liable to dissolve at the first outbreak of faction. The President has issued his proclamation offering freedom to slaves held in certain of the rebel- lious States. It remains to be seen what effect this proclamation will have in suppressing the rebel- STATISTICS AND DOCUMENTS. .317 lion ; hrt whnth.T it bp elTectual or not, the purpose for which it was intended, the authority upon which it was issm-il is beynn'! qm^stion. "•■>/ upuu If the rebels do not desire the Government of the United States to interfere with their slaves let them ceiKse to empb.y them m the prosecution of the war. Thi-y should not use them to buMd Vor- tihcMtions, manas. their baggage trains, perform all the labor of the camp and march and above all to raise proviMons upon which to subsist their armies. If they employ the institution of slavery as an instrument of war, lilie other instruments of war, it is subject to destruction De- prive them of slave labor, and three-fourths of the men ronipnsinp; their armies would bo com- pelled to return home to raise food upon which to subsist themselves and families. If thev are per- mitted to retail! shive labor, they are enabled to maintain their armies in great force aiid to des- troy that force we are compelled to shed much of our best blood. Lotus not be more tender of their property, than we are of our blood. But it is said the emancipation of the slaves will lead to insurrection, and the sacrifico of inno- cent women and children. Such an event would be greatly deplored. But it is not in niv jndg- ment, a necessary result, or one likely to occur. The history of insurrections shows that tliey spring not from emancipation, but from despair. But if it were, I should say to the rebels, that if they were unwilling to incur the danglers of insurrection, and do not wish the Government to med- dle with their slaves, they must cease to employ them in the prosecution of the war. With what Iiropriety can they employ the institution of slavery as a means of our destruction, and at the same time ask us to let it alone? As well might they place their women and children in front of their rrtUks, tire over their heads at us, and then call upou us not to fire back for fear of hurting them. The madness which would inaugurate civil war in the North, and set neighbors and brolhern to cutting each others throats, becau.se the President has proclaimed freedom to slaves in States which have attempted to secede from the Union— have utterly rejected the authority of the Constitution of the United States — have formed for themselves a new Constitution— made a new flag, and to maintain these are waging an unnatural and bloody war, is beyond human comprehension. That we should fall upon and devour each other, to protect the Constitutional rights of those who declare to the world that they have forever renounced and abjured all allegiance to the Consti- tution anil Government of the United States, would he a spectacle so monstrous that no parallel could be found in history. There is but one salvation for this people, and that is the suppression of the rebellion and the res- toration of the Union ; and this can surely be accomplished if we aie but united ; and 1 jiray God that the storms of party and passion, which now obscure the heavens, may speedily pass away, and again discover us to the world a united people, hnalterably resolved to vindicate our honor, and preserve the Uniou which our fathers gave. I believe tluuj. the masses of men of all jiarties are loyal, and are united in their deternjination to maintain our Government, however much they may differ upon other points; and I do sincerely hope that men of all piirties will t'e willing to abitte much of their peculiar opinions in subordina- tion to th<^ great cause of preserving our national honor and existence. And in conclusion, allow me to express my confidence that your deliberations will be animated only by an ardent desire to foster the honor and interests of our blessed SWite, and to cherish and protect, at whatever cost, the power and the glory of the govenment of our common country.

J To the 0(:n(:ral Assembly of the State of Indiana: Owing to the immense drafts that liave been made on the Treasury of the United States, the Got- ernment has been unable to promptly pay the truops the wages to which they are entitled, io most of the soldiers, four months pay is due, and to many of them six. I am intorm.-d, liowever that enough money has recently been famished to Paymasters to pay all arrear.ages up to the tirst of November last, which will still leave due and unpaid their wages for two months ending on the first of .lannary. The failure by the Government to pay the army the money due to it at the period fixed by'law for its payment, which is every two months, operates with great hardsliip upon the wives, children, and parents who are dependent upon it for their support.

Upon tlie pay-r tlie time of their enlistment This uniler- xtiindmg was p;nticipated in hj- tlieir recruiting olheeis, the general ninstering officer stuiion-d here by the Governnient, and by the i^iaU- authorities. When the time came for must, rin- o-il tlieir regiments, they demanded their discharge, which was refused. I presented the matter to the S.-c- retary of War, who declined to act on it, on the ground that the fornla^ mnster-roll which thev hail si-nod showed that they had entered the service ."or the period of three years, and left him no dis- cretion to enterfere in their behalf. This was true ; but nevertheless, the undeistanding existed in full force, as the statement in the muster-roll was explained by the mustering officer as a merr technical neces; iiy. 1 afterwards addressed a memorial on the subject to Congress, stating all thu facts, and inTiting them to take iiction for the relief of these men, but tliey failed to doso at tlie time. I present the matter for yonr consideration, trasting that you will see fit to lay it before Congress. GALLANTRY OF INDIANA SOLDIERS. The duty of appointing officers to command our regiments is frsll of responsibility nnd pmbarrac- nient. I have commissioned many whom J did not knnw, and for whose ijtne.ss I was compelled t(» rely entirely upon the opinion of others. But it affords t>ii' great gratitii'ation to state that the In- diana officers, as a body, have been fotind equal to those of any other State; that they have, npoi> every battle field, nobly sastained the great canse, and shed lustre upon the flag iindei' Vfhich tlii-y fought. Many have been appoiiiti-d to high commands, in which they acquitted themselves wil'b the greatest honor and ability, and very many have nobly laid down their lives in battle for their country. Our private soldiers have behaved with uniform and distinguished gallantry in every ac- tion in -which they have been engaged. They form a [larl of every army in the field, and have beeu among tlie foremost in deeds of daring, while their blood has hallowed every soil. Hitherto engag- ed in the peaceful pursuits of trade and agriculture, they have manifested that lofty conrage and high-toned chivalry of which others have talked so much and possessed so little, and which b8yl vania for th» establishment of a National Cemetery upon the battle iV Id, in wliieli each St .t« having troops en- gaged shcnld have a place set aimrt for t!ie burial of its dead. As Indiana lost many gallani and cherislied sons in that gnat conflict, I took the responsibility of co-operating with Pennsylvania and other States, by tlie appointment of Colonel .John G. Steph-nsou RS Commissioner to select the place and superintend the removal thereto of onr dead. These duties he faithfully performed, and for more full iiitbrniation, you are referred to his report, herewith submitted ; and for an arcouut of ihe expenses incurred, to the financial report of Mr. Terrell. For my action in this matter, your approval is respectfully solicited. CARE OF SOLDIERS' FAMILIES. I invite your immediate attention to the necessity of making an appropriation for the relief nnd support of' the families of our soldiers. It is too well understood to rerjuire argument or statement, that the monthly pay w hich thev receive, especially after deducting that jmrt which their own wantH in the field iibsol'titi ly require tli'em to expend, is wholly insufficient for the support of their families at this period of high prices. The duty resting upon the p. opie of the State to provide support and prevent suffering and destitution iu these casts, is also too char for argument, ana needs only to W: stated to command general assent. If the relief be furnished in the manner propo.sed, the burden will fall upon all the people of the State according to their several capacities to iK-ar it and will bo so li-rht as to be scarcely felt, and will. I am sure, be cheeifully borne. It is an hour of great trial to the Nation, and solemn duties are devolved upon the people, whether at home or in the held. Our soldiers aro performing their duties gloriously, and to the admiration of the world. Let the peo- ple at home do theirs, and all will be well INDIANA STATE SANITARY COMMISSION. 1 have thought proper to lay before you the report of Dr. Hannaman, ^'resident, and Alfred Ilar- rison, Treasurer, of the Indiana State Sanitary Commission.

DAMAGES BY THE MORGAN RAID. Tn tho month of July, ISOS. the Stato was invaded by the rebel General John Morgan, and the forces under his command. In response to a call which I issued for military forces for the puipose of capturing and punishing this robber horde, our people flew to arms in numbers and with an alacrity before uuknown iu the history of the war. In a few short hours the invasion was con- SlATl-STlCS AND DOCUMEM^.

Duiinp th.ir brief presence h. the htate however they .nfiicte.! much ay for what had alreadj' been issued, and to receive and pay for what should be prepared thereafter, at 'piices which were satisfactory to both parties. The^o -{jriceB were generally below what the Gov- vrnraent paid for ammunition, but such as, it was believed, would fairly indemnify the State for all •costs and expciises incurred on that account. The operations of the Arsenal Were suspended during the session of the late Legislature, and its ■condition and results fully reported to that body. No legi-slaiive action having been taki-n in regard to it. and the necessity for its cotitinued operation still existing iu full force, I proposed to the Auditor and Tretisurer of State that they should co-op"rate with me in carrying it forward. This they declined tx) do, on the grouml that it was not authorized by law. Afterwards 1 determined to take the respor.sibility of continuing it, provided the Legislative Auditing Committee Would ex- amine and audit till items of expenditure that might be incurred on that account. To this the Committee agreed, upon condition that one of their number should be selected to be present at the Arsenal at all times, for the daily examiuation of its expenditures and inspection of it.- operationa. With th-s arrangement I was well satisfied, and the Committee selected Hon. Samuel 11. Buskirk Tor that duty. He continued in the performance of the duty thus assigned him with ahilily and industry until the final winding up of the Arsenal, at which time the Committee made a full report •of its operations, which is herewith submitted. It will be found from an examimition of this re- port, and the detailed accounts of the Arsenal from the time of its starting, that it yielded a net fash profit to the State of sevi>nty-one thousand three hundred and eighty dollars and one cent, (S71,.'iHO.OI), besides leaving on hand for future use, if necessary, all the tools and apparatus stored away in the fiuartermaster's D<'partment, valued at four thousand and two dollars and l.-rty-four «ents. All sums at any time drawn from the State Treasury, on account of the Arsenal, have been returned, ati'd the profits only have remained in my hands, which I have charged against myself in the general account, and have used in defraying the expenses of the State fiovernment. It was no •part of the original plan that profits should result to the State from its operations, and they havo ■sprung sidely from the economical and skillful management, for which Colonel Sturm is entitled to the chief credit. Its original establishment and continuance were strictly a military necessity, and vhether ab'-olutely covered by the law or not, have been of great beiieln to the State und the Oov- •ernment. It entailed upon me great rospoiiBibility and anxiety, from which I gladly escaped at the earliest moment. ^ , .^ ,j, ^ ,j MILITARY EXPENDITURES.

It has, hovrever, been disbursed exclusively in the name and for tln» benetit of the State, in the payment of necessary military expenses, for which the State sliould havn made ample appropriations. I have advanced to the Paymaster of the State forces, at different times, the sum of one hundred and sevent/-ono thousand .?ix hundred and sixty-one dollars anrf eighty-eight cents, of which the greater portion, however, has been reimbnrsed to mo hy the Gen- eral Government, upon my filing in the proper Department the receipted pay-rolls of the Indiana Legion, for services rendered in the war. For a detailed account of the expenditures of the military fund, the Legislature is referred to tlie financial report of Hon. W. II. H. Terrell, Financial Secre- tary, which is herewith snbmitted, and to the vouchers on tile in this Department. All of these exiienditures were laid before the Auditing Committee, appointed by the late Legislature, for exam' ination, and received their ai)proval. As will be shown by the report, I liad on hand on the 1st day of January, IHIir), of the military fund, the sum of one hundred and fifteen thousand fonr hundred and eighty-seven dollars and twenty-eight cents, and the question is no^ presented as to the proper method of settlement with the Government for this fund. One of two ways may be adopted. t'imt, by returning to the GovernmeDt tlie balance of the fund unexpended, and by settling with it for the amount expended, ujion vouchers of expenditures, after the same shall have been approved by the Legislature; and this vrould bo in accordance with the theory wpon which the money wan firiginally advanced by the President. Second, by paying into the State Treasury the onexponded part of the fund, and treating the whole as an advance to the State, to be accounted for by her in her general settlement with tlio (Jovernment fcr advances made This latter jilan is, in my judp- nieiit, more consonant with justice and the honor of the State, the money having been expended fi>y purjioaes for which the State was bouorably and patriotically bound to make provision, FINANCIAL STATEMENT.

Tho act contem- plates the levy and collection of a three iiiill tax on all taxable property and a poll tax of one dol- lar on each taxable poll for each of tho years 1.SI15 and ISIiG. I respectfully suggest that under existing circumstances it will neither be necessary nor proper that these taxes should be levied or collected for the year IS^iO, believing that the levy for IH'J.t, if properly disbursed, will be sufficient to furnish all the relief that the altired condition of tho country demands. SOLDIER'S AND SEAMEN'S HOME. I earnestly invito your attentiou to tho necessity for tlie speedy establishment of an Institution in which Indiana soldiers and seamen, disabled by wounds or disease contracted in tbo servico of tbe United States, shall bo cared for and maintained during tho continuance of the di-iabilities under which they are laboring. Justice, humanity, and the honor of the State, forbid that these brave men should be pi^rmitled to suffi- for the cinnforts of life, or be compelled to receive from tbe public such assistance as is accorded to ordinary paupers. On tlie ir)th day of May last, for the purpose of enlisting the sympathies of tho people in the es- tablishment of such an Institution, I issued an address, of which a copy is herewith respectfully submitted. In pursuance of the invitation contained in this addr(tss, two successive meetings were ht'ld at Indianapolis, for the purpose of effecting a temporary organization of a Home for disabled Indiana soldiers and seamen, and to inaugurate a system for the collection of voluntary contribu- tions -iuflicient to place it ultimately on a permanent foundation. At the second of these meetings, held on tbo 24tb day of May last, a temporary organization was effected, the basis of which will be seen by reference to a copy of the proceedings of said meeting herewith respectfully submitted. Soon after, applications for relief on the part of disabled soldiers were presented to the ofHcera of tbe Association, and the Common Council of the City of Indianapolis generously tendered tho gra- tuitous use of the City Hospital buildings to tho managers of tbe Association for a temporary Home, which ofl'er was accepted, with the distinct understanding that its acceptance should not, iu any de^'ree, influence the ultimate locatio:i of the Institution, should the eoort to place it on a per- manent basis be successful. TIk' temporary Home was opened on the seventh day of .\u?nst last, and the absolute necessity for such an Institution is demonstrated by tbe fact that already forty-six disabled soldiers have been admitted into the Instittition, tnenty-ono of whom, after remaininR Foiuo time and receiving tbo best care and medical treatment, have been discharg(:d with the pros- pect of being sufficiently restored to enable them to take care for themselves, and one has died, leav- ing twenty-four still to be cared for. Of the twccty-four still in the Institution, seventeen are totally disabled, either by old age, disease, or wounds received iu battle. The funds received by the Treasurer of tlio Hon.e fmni voluntary contributions, amount in the aggret,ate to l?t,".ii)4.f)5, in addition to which there are unpaid subscriptions, the estimated amount of which will increase this to over S2(l,000 It is to be feared that the Instit\ition cannot be placed upon a p'Tmanent foundation by voluntary contributions, and in view of this, 1 submit tho intire subject to the General Assembly, and respectfully, but earnestly ncommend Ih.il prompt nieasurtis be taken to secure the objectin view, feeling assured that it will commend it.self to your judgment and sympathies. The IJ. S. General Hospital, at Jeffersonville, is one of tho most complete establishments of tho kind in the country, and is well adapted to the purposes of a Soldier's Home. I have written to the Secretary of War and Surgeon General for information, as to whether tho Government would be willing to turn over this Hospital to the State of Indiana, to be used in tbe establishment of such an Instit\ition, should the State desire it. The answer when received will be communicated to the General Assembly. 5= * :> * « * ti if if if MOKGAN RAID. I again respectfully invito tlie attention of the General Assembly to tho damages occasioned to some of our citizens, by tbo invasion of the State by John Morgan, in \SiV.\. I have sei^n no cause for changing the views expressed on this subject in my regular message delivered at the commence- ment of your last session, and therefore repeat the recommendation therein made. -« iCc 4c -4: ],'( ::* j:c ::t * * INDIANA TROOPS. The part Indiana has taken in tho war for the suppression of the rebellion, is a matter upon which the citizc'us of the State may justly pride themselves. In tho number of troops furnished, and in tho antount of voluntary contributions rendered, Indiana, in proportion to her population and wealth, stands equal to any of her sister States. It is also a subject of gratitude and thankfulness that, whilst the number of troops furnished by Indi- ana alone iu this great contest would have done credit to a first class nation, measured by tbe stand- ard of previous wars, not a single regiment, battery, or battalion from this State has brought re- proach upon the national Rag, and no disaster of the war can be traced to any want of fidelity, courage, or efliciency on the part of any Indiana oflicer. Theenilurauce, heroism, intelligence, and skill of the officers and soldiers sent forth by Indiana to do battle for the Union, have shed u lustre on our beloved State of which any people might just- STATISTICS AND DOCUMENTS. 325 The total luiiiiberot troops furiiislipd bv tho Stat-P (•,<■■ ..n »..,...,, „r ■ • ., Union, .xc-.,.cls two hundre'l thon. and m,^ l.ch th. ^re''t -r o tinn Tn'.Z l'"- ""f "'''?'''' °^ ""' and in addition to this not l..s th,in fiftv t " "a,V S ,ft ^, , m,?. ^^v^ . ■"•in? for throe .v..nr8: into act^ivoservico to repel rebel raids ^!^^t^o^'Z^ulT^^'^:'Z::i::rV^::^ X^^ ^ulbl'cat'iolf '" "" "*""' "■'""■' "' "^'^ ^"J"'""' «<"-"'.

Since the adjournment of the Legislature the civil war which had desolated our country 1ms ter- minated in the complete triumph of the Government and the suppression of the rebellio The evacuation of liichmond, and the capitulation of Lee's army, were rapidly followed by the surren- der of every other rebel army in the field, and irregular guerrilla warfaiv almost enUrelv passed uway in a tew weeks. The suppression of the rebellion and the subjugation ot armed rrOiels seems to be complete, while every rebel State has confessed to the irretrievable destruction of the institu- tion ot slavery. Ihe people ot the .South have been beaten and overpowered in the tield ; they have wholly lost tneir property m slaves; much of their couutrv has been overr"n and made ib^scihit- by the march and ravage of great armies; poverty and wretchedness have been brought home to large classes who before bad lived in wealth and lu.vury ; large numbers of their population have perished in the conflict, and there is prevailing among them great exasperation and bitterness which time alone can assuage. The great majority, however, appear to regard the verdict of the war as irreversible and to promptly accept the situation as one they cannot modify or put aside. But while the heresy of State sovereignty has been extirpated, and the questions involved in the conflict settled by the arbi- trament of arms, it is yet of the greatest importance to the nation that these ()uestions"be adjudi- cated and determined by the highest judicial tribunal, which might most appropriately be done in the trial, for high treason and other atrocious crimes, of the chief instigator and head of this most wicked and bloody rebellion. It should be definitively established as a principle in our Con-titu- tion, both by judicial decision and example of punishment, that rebellion is treason, that iretsoii is a crime which may not be committed with impunity; and that there is but one sovereignty, which resides in the collective and undivided people of the United States. The work of reorganizing tlie Governments of the rebel States, and bringing tliein again into practical relations with the Government and people of the United Stales, is now u))oii the country, and demands for its successful performance the greatest wisdom, patience, and forbearance. But while it is important that the work of reorganization shall not be unnecessarily delayed, ii it is more important that it shall proceed upon sound principles, which will furnish guarantees fir the future integrity and peace of the Republic. The principal discussions which ;irise on this sub- ject pertain to the future status of tlje negro in the Southern States. By some it is urged that con- ferring suffrage upon him shall be made a condition of reorganization, or in other words that the States lately in rebellion shall not be permitted to resume their practical relations with the Govern- ment, except upon the terras of first conferring the rights of sufl'rage upon their freedmen. .\s to the manner in which this measure shall be accomplished, the friends of it differ. Some are in fa- vor of persistently excluding the members of Congress from the Southern States, until negro suf- frage liHS been incorporated into their several State Constitutions. Others assume that the States lately in rebellion are no longer members of the Union, but have forfeited and lost their character as States, and are in fact held as conquered provinces, and, like unorganized territories which may have been acquired by the Government, are under the complete control and jurisdiction of (-'ongress, which may c ilcmHiiiU iiml noccs- sitii'S of capital ami labor, and the uiiavdidablp cnmiiiuiijty of inten-st, will, in process of time, I cannot donbt, force a reciprocity of ri.^lits and privilcgis. 'I'ho institution of slavery was co closely intertwined about the foundation of society in the Southern States that when il was destroyed, society wuh uprooted and brolcn to pieces. The process of its reeonstrnclion is but be(;inninK, but it is very certain that the new structure will differ, in most essential particulars, from the old. Free labor, free speech, and free schools, will come into it as new and powerful ele- ments of change and progress, and large emigration from the Northern States and from Europe, bringing commerce, manufactures and improved agriculture, will exert a moilifying and benuhciiil influence, the etlect of which can hardly be overestimated. Another amendment, not only conducive to the interests of the freedmen, but demanded by the rights and interests of the white jieople of the North, should be made, changing the basis of rej.re- seutation in Congress ajid the apportionment of political power stniong the several Stati'S. Tlie present provision in the (.Constitution of the United States concerning this, reads as bdlows: " Uepresentativi's and direct tuxes shall b • apportioned among the several States, which may be included within this Union, by adding to the number of free persons, including those tliat may he bound to service for a term of years, and excluding Indians not taxed, ihree-Ji/ihit of all other per- sons," the pliras<^ three-lifths of all other persons was a periphrastic description of the slave ]>o- pulation, and gave representation for three-lifths of their number. By the abolition of slavery this population is added to th(! " number of Iree persons,'" and thus iucruuoes the basis of repre- sentation by the addition of two-fifths. The inequality producewer in the government, to confer political lights ni)on every class of persons, without regard to color or nationality, as rapidly as might be ileemed consistent with their true, interests. By the census of ISliO, the fifteen slave Stiites were allowed eighty -four members of Congress, because of the r ^. INDIANA SANITARY COMxAIISSION.

The report of the State Quartermaster, General Stoiic, sliows that (41,212) forty-oue thousand two- hundred and twelve guns liave been returned to the proper United States ordnance officers at this ]ioint, and (,'i.'JU) tivu^linndred and thirty gnus lost and destroyed in the service have Ijeen accouuteil for by proper atlidav.itt', makittg a total of (4l,74'i) forty-one thousand sciven hundred and forty-two- Runs accouiLted for to the General (.iovernment, aud t!i.i.t all the artililery, caissons ai4ay for military service in rejii-lling rebel raids tvad guarding against invasion.

COLONEJj WILLIAM H. SCHLATBR. Colonel William II. Srhlater has acted as my Military Secretary, except during the time that he was in the field, from the beginning of the war. His ability for the correct awl rapid dispatch of business as a Secretary, is without a snporior, ant) his accurate recollection, of names, dates, aud. minute circumstances connected witii the organizatiou of the army, rendered his services most valuable. Our relations have been most agreeable, and it afVords me pleasuiie to make this public ackjiowlcdgment. MILITARY AGENCIES. The military agencies :n this city and in Washingtoa for the iM'osecutioiv iind collection, free of charge, of iKuinties, back pay and pensions, due to soldiers and s(>ldieis' widows and ori>lians, havH- been keyt in operation, and have transacted a large amount of busiu'^ss and rendered great service to those who are pourly able to pay for it. The report of William llannai!i;in. Esq-, gives a full statement of the transactions of the two agencies, and contains matt'-r and suggestions of much interest and importance, in my opinion the ag.encie9 ought to l>e maintained and their sphere of usefulaess enlarged by appropriate legislation. * =;•. i.i * ■■:■■ * i-- a *- 'Jt-- SOLDIERS' AND SEAMEN'S HOME. When tlie war ended and our armies wei-e mustered out of the service, ajid hospitals broken up,. there were many gallant soldiers who were disabled by wounds and diseases contracted iu the service fi'om making their own living, and taking care of themselves. Many of th-ni were without homes and without friends, who must either pass into the common poor htmaes of the country as paupers, be subsisteil by private charity, or proviiled for by the State. The supiiort furnished by- private charity would be precariou--; and uucertaiu., and justice, humanity, and the honor of the State forbade that these men should suffer for the comforts of life, or fiud that th(.' p<-or-house and the siiciety of paiipc rs should be the end and rewaril of their camyaigns, in which they had sacri - ficed their hialth and capacity to provide for themselves. The State had called them to the field, and they had nobly responded by abaudoaing their cvjeupations, leaving behind them family, friends, the comforts and pleasures of life, and entered the army to fight for a cause iu which they had no greater interest than those w.lio remained at home ^o pursue their av-ocations and lire (jitietly and safi.dy with their families aud friends. It was notr charity, it was not benevolence, on the- part of the people or the State to make liberal' and generous provision for these men, but it was a duty than which none could be higher or more sacred. .-Vccordingly, to meet immediate demands for relief, aud to inaugurate a measure impera- tively demanded by humanity and the strongest obligations, on the ITith day of May, 18u5, I issued an address for the purpose of enlisting the sympathies of the people in establishing a Soldiers-' and Seamen's Home, and in pursuance of the invitation coataiued in it, two- suLOcesslv-o meetiags werw STATISTICS AND DOCtBIENTS. 329 betd at IndianapoliH for the purpose of off,.cting a temporary organization oi- a Homo for I>iHablt>(J Indiana So .lions uml Seamen, and to institute a s.ystem lor the collection of voluntary coutribu.ions.

'Ihe t.^mporary Home was opened in the city hospital building at I-ndianapohs on the 27th day of Augiwt, l.Siio, and up to the ;i(lth day of Not. inlvr, ISiii;, tl,r nuin- 4>er of men admitted was '22-i. Of this number 134 have ll*een discharged, fourteen have died includes the salaries of officers. If we add to the above sum tlie (mst of p«rchase,''it will m»li purchased : "Tho fivrm consists of fifty-four (54) acres of excellent land, thirty-fivo (35) of which are under (cultivation — the balance a beautiful grove of forest timber. Tho liuildiDgs are large and commo- dious, afliirding ample room for about one hundrt^d patients. They were, however, ni-uch dilapidated and out uf repair, but have been repaired until they are now very comfortable. !?oine additions, have also been iiuuie in the way of hospital buildings, which arc of great adfantagc in tho tre»tnient of the sick and wounded " As lingering wounds, disease and old ago do their work, the number of men to be cared for must Jargely increase for .some years, and the question is presented, in what manner th-e institution shall' be maintained ? Thus far it has been built up and supported by private contribution, resulting from the labor of a few men, but it cannot be kept in oi>eration longer in this way. The obligation to support our disabled vet(^rans rests equally upon all, while the number of persons who give by private cunlribu- tions is small, and they are already tired and demand that the burden shall be made to fall upon all the people according to their capacity to pay. That this demand is just and patriotic, I will not further argue, aud earnestly recommend tlfat committees be appointed to inv.'stigate and examiiio into the character of the institutian, and upon tlieir report, if satisfactory, it be adopted by tho State, and appropriations made tO' carry it on for tho ne:ct two years. The National Government has made arraingenienJs for th« establishment and maintenance of Soldiers' and Seamen's Homes in several of the States, and it is quite possible tliat these institution* when established will have capacity to receive aod accommodate all, including disa'aled soldiers anit seamen of Indiana. When this comes to pass, it will not be necessary to continue oar lionw, as such, longer, and the- ane property v/hoite it is located can doubtless be turr>ed to some other humane P'Urpose. Hut iintif that occurs, it is, in my judgment, the duty of the State to adopt tho Home and make appropria- tions fo4- its support. It would not be just ts pass from> this subject without stating the fact that the general manago- jnent iiDd supervision of the Soldiers' Home, since its first organi/,atioi>, bus beea under tho cure- and direction of William Hannaman, Esq.; his heart has been in his work, aud he has given to it unremitti-iig attentioji, and much of its succesa has resulted from his labor. THE SOLDIER'S ORPHAN. The soldier's orphan has not been provided for. yrom a return- made by Cor,i>ty AmUtors, to IV circular addressed to them by Mr. Hannaman, it is estimated that there are in the State two thousami and seventy'orphans, whoso fathers have perished in tho army, and a numbiT of whom are- now in the county poor houses. Their natural protestors and guardians, by whose labor they were to be supi;orted and educated, have died in the service of their country. Many of these orphans are l<-ft in destitute and helpless circuiastances, without relatives or friends who are r.»bleor willinp to give them training or education. Are they not the wards of the State ? Is it not the duty of tho State, dictated alike by justice, humai>il'y, and the sacrifice made by their dea^ fathers, to step for- ward, as far as possible, take the father's place in giving these orphans proteation and a sufticient education to fit them for useful and hoHorable members of society? Can the proposition bo strengthened by argument? Does not the bare statement of it carry conviction to the mind and loucli the heart of every patriotic man ? The way and manner in which this can be accomplished. is a proper su-bjeot for legislative research and discovery. But it has been, suggestorl that if the General Government shall finally pBOvide far our disabled soldiers and seiimen, that tho beautilnl property near Knightstoi.vn might bo converted into a " Seldiers' Orphaas' Home.

The people of tlio Nortli have not Ijpen animated by a spirit of resentment and revenge in their ■dealings with the South sisce the conclusion of the rebellion. Ob the contrary, they have earnest- ly hoped thiU the people of the South would kindly and sincerely accept the situation, and eo-ope- cate with them in tfcu settlement of our national difficulties upou » permacent basis ; and had the Soutliern people met them in this spirit, adjusted their constitutions and laws to the new order of things— rendered justice and given equal protection to all her citizens, coofiscatiou, disfranchiso- .nient, and punishmeot, would scarcely have been demanded. When, upon .the surrender of Lee's army, General Grant gave absolution to the Confederate officers and soldiers, upou the sole condi- tion of not again bearing arms against the Uepublic, the nation acquiesced in his conduct almost ivithout a murmur : and when all the rebel forces laid down their arms, aad the war was at au end, the misfortunes of the South, the fallen and prostrate condition of the people, inspired in the Nortli feelings amounting almost to compassion and forgiveness. At the time, the South declared full submissiou, asked for lenicQt terms, but claimeii no rights, and dictated no conditions. Bat since then, the temper of her people seems to have undergone a radical change. They have passed from submission to defiance, aod the mercy which was extended to them has been requited in tiloody persecutions opon the Union men and n-egro population in their midst. Their course lias had its natural and inevitable effect upon the public mind of the North, which is rapidly jmssing from mercy aad forgiveness to the stern demands of justice, and the exaction of the penalties for treason. The logic of events against which the arguments of the statesman weigh not, moulds tlie public mind, and sweeps it on rapidly froea confusion to c r b" me But the necessity for loyal Republican State Governments that shall protect men of all races Classes and opinions, and shall render allegiance and support to the Government of tho United states, must override every other consideration of prejudice or policy. If It be found necessary not to accept the present State Governments in the South, and to exer- cise the great power which has hitherto Iain dormant in the Constitution, the people of the South ■niU have the consolation of kuowing that it is their own act and deed. By the unrestrained slaughters of Memphis and New Orleans ; by the unpunished murder of loval men ; by the perse- cution and exile of those who adhered to the Union ; by the contemptuous rejection of the generous terms that were offered, they are ftist proving that the extraordinary powers of the Constitution niust be summoned to cure the evils under which the land is laboring. Let them take warning, and speedily reform their ways before they have driven the nation to a point where theory, passion and prejudice must all give way to the stern necessity of establishing new governments that will protect all men in equal enjoyment of life, liberty and property. But come what will, the Nation will live, and its unity and power be established. Throughout the late conflict, we decerned the hand of God leading the Nation through blood, to a purer morality and clearer perception of the rights of men, and cannot doubt that in Uis own time, and by Uis chosen means, He will conduct it safely through this sea of troubles to a fraternal peace, unstained by oppression, unbroken by rebellion, and crowned with the choicest blessings ever vouch- safed to any people.

Indianapolis, April 10, ISill. Uooniucnt No. 121. GOVERNOR'S PROCLAMATION, OCT. 2, 18G]- CALL FOR ADDITIONAL VOLUNTEERS— TO TUE PEOPLE OF INDIANA. In the progress of events, this wicked and unnatural rebellion, having for its object the overthrow of our Government, and the subversion of our instituti(jns, has extended into our neighboring State of Kentucky : On several occasions within the last few niontlis, the jieople of Kentucky, by overwhelming majorities, have declared their loyalty to the Union, and their determination to ad"- here to the Constitution. There is, however, within her borders a desperate and factious miiiorilv, who are determined, at all hazards, to plunge the State into revolvtiou and all the horrors of civil war. To this end they have inaugurated a reign of terror, and throwing off all restraints of law, pro- claim a war of destructioii and desolation against the lives and property of all loyal and Union-lov- iag citizens. In this atrocious attempt to coerce a loyal States into rebellion, they are aided by large bodies of armed man from Tennessee and other seceding States. These rebel troops have entered the State from the southeast through the Cumberland Gap; also from the southwest, occupving Columbus and other points, but chiefly from the direction of Nashville, toward Louisville, seizing and holding the Nashville & Louisville Railroad, up to within forty miles of Louisvilli-. A glance at the map will show the immense importaneo of their position, and the advantages they have gained. From their camps south of Louisville, they can communicate by railroad with every seceding State but two: and can thus transport to their aid, in a few hours, men and munitions of war, from every part of the South. It is the determination of the invaders and conspirators, to subjugate the loyal people of Kentucky, and seize for plunder and vengeance the wealthy and populous cities on the border of Ohio and Indiana. It should require no argument or appeal now, to arouse the people of Indiana to imt forth all their strength. When our State was in her infancy, the brave men of Kentucky came to the rescue of our jieople from the scalping ktiife of the savage, and their blood is mingled wi"th our soil on many a field. .\iid shall we not stand by Kentucky now, in this her hour of peril ? Not to do so, were base ingratitude and criminal folly. We can best defend Indiana by repelling the invader from Kentucky, and carrying the war thence to the hearts of the rebellious States. Indiana has already done as well as any other loyal State, and better than manv. Her troops are to be found in every camp from the Potomac to the Missouri, and wherever the'ir valor has been put to the test, they have been found equal to the occasion. But because other States have not done their whole duty, it would be worse than madness for us to refuse to do even more than ours- to crush out this rebellion and bring about the speedy restoration of the Union and peace with all its blessings. We have done much, but wo can do more, and the sooner it is done the quicker the STATISTICS AND DOCUMENTS. 333 found mtbe faot that the nvh.- h:,, reachea our own borders, and that if the «K.rp7and i sol" ice of of trai'torV l^'-''-"I>tly met and punished, our own soil is not secure from pollution by an army 1, therefore call upon all men capable of bearing arms, and who can leave their homes to cast aside their ordinary pursuits, and enroll themselves in the ranks of the army. Let the farm'er leave his plow the niercliant his .tore, the mechanic his workshop, the banker his eychauKe, and the pro fessional man !"« oltice, and devote themselves to their country, and by enrolling themselves eiUu-r in the service of the General Uovernment or under the military law of the State, be prepared to defiMid their country and their homes. Every man in the State capable of bearing arms should bo in the service of the General Government or the State. Let personal ease and private interests subm. to the overruling necessities of the hour, and let us show to the world by the sacrifices we are willing to make in peison and property, that we are worthy of our sires, and deserve to retain the inheritance they have bequeathed to us. Upon those who remain at home, 1 would urge the solemn duty of making provision for the fam- ilies of those who have or may hereafter enter the army. The soldier in the field should have tho sweet assurance that his wife and children, and all who are dependent upon his labor for a living will be provided with sufficient food and clothing. Such an assurance would nerve his arm in the hour of battle and enable him to bear with cheerfulness the hardships and privations of a soldier's life. It would be a lasting di.sgrace to our people if the family of any soldier should want for bread or raiment while our country is full to overflowing with all the necessaries of life. In a time like this, we should give freely of our snbsistance for the relief of those whose husbands, fathers and brothers are periling their lives in battle. I therefore earnestly recommend that every town, township and neighborhood take efficient and fystematic steits for the accomplishment of this purpose. 0. P. MORTON, Governor of Indiana.

The Government of tho United States has called upon Indiana for five additional regiments of infantry, to complete tho crushing out of the present rebellion. The nf'cessity for this call need not be stated; it is suBicient to say that it e.xists, and as patriotic and loyal citizens, it only re- mains for us to meet it. Indiana has done nobly hitherto in furnishing her brave and heroic sons to defend and maintain the Constitution and Union of our fathers ; they have rallied around their country's standard, "Many as the sands, one as the sea," and their gallant deeds in the field is the theme of praise on every tongue. Let this call, which I'trust is the last I shall have to make during this war, be responded to with the same zeal and alacrity as former ones have been. The published orders of the Adjutant General give specific directions for recruiting and mode of organization. It is proper to state that in the five regiments called for are included the l.'th and 10th regiments now re-organizing. Given under my hand, at Indianapolis, this 24th day of .Inne, A. D. 1802.

To the People 0/ Indiana : The large number of troops required to garrison and hold tho great extent of territory which hag been wrested from the possession of the rebels by the many and distinguished victories that have attended the Union arms, enabb-s the rebels to greatly outnumber our forces novv in the vicinity of Richmond. The greater part of the rebel army has been concen rated at Kiehmond--their last 6tronehold-for a final and desperate struggle; and the army of the Un.on-whi e lighting with a gallantry hardly equaled, and never surpassed, in the annals of warfare-has, by overwh. Immg numbers, been compelled to a short and temporary retreat. 834 ADJUTANT GENERAL S REPORT, The I'resident, in tln' cXTcisi- of the powers vested in liim !>>• tlie Constitutiuii and Laws of tlif> United Stiites, lias oullerl fur ;!(»(), U(K) men, n. force deemed entirely adequate to the cruHliiug out of the rebellion and the restoration of peaee and the Union of the States. Again 1 call n]mn the loyal and patriotic men of Indiana to conn? forward and supjdy tlie (juota duB from onr State. Ip to this hour, Indiana occupies a moat exalted position connected with the war. Ilcr troops have been in almost every battli'. and have behaved with uniform and distin- guished gallantry. Never before has the State held bo proud a place in the opinion of the world, and it should be the prayer and ett'ort of every loyal citizen that she may not now falter, and that nothing may herea'tir occur tu detract from her well-earned honors." Kut while we are jnstlv proud of the high rank to which Indiana Jims attained, we should never forget that our allegiance aud highest duty are due to the Nation, of which Indiana is but a part; that in Htrnggling lor onr National Ciovei nnient, we are contending for our National existence, honor, and all that is dear to freemen, and that in this struggle we must succeed, at ichalei:er cost; that it is the duty of every State to furni.-ih, promptly, her full proportion of the military force called for by the ['resident, and that in doing aa, .-ilie has no right tii dictate the terms of his military policy or prescribe conditions precedent upon which such force shall be fnjiiished. To do so, would be" to recognize the odious doctrine of State Kights, as it has been taught by rebel politicians for many years, and which is but another name for secession an. I the cause of all our woe. I therofoie call upon every man, whatever may be his rank and condition in life, to put aside his business and come to the rescue of his country. Upon every man, individually, let me urge the solemn truth, that whatever may be his condition or business, he has no duty or business half so important to himself and family as the sl>eedy and idTectual suppression of the rebcdlion. Those who from age and inlirmity cannot enter the army, can do mncli to stimulate others: and I want every man to feel especially called upon to exert himself, and by public and i>rivate exhor- tation, aud by every legitimati^ inthience, to encourage the imnieiliate lilling up ot tho new regi- ments. And to the women of Indiana, whoso hearts are so full of lovo of country, and who, by their labors and contributions, have done so much to relieve the sick and wounded !-oldiers, let me especially app'al. Emulate the virtues of the Roman matron— urgi' your sons, husbands, and brotlKtrs to the li.dii. Your influence is all-pervading and poweiful. And to the maiden let mo say, beware of that lover who, full of health aud vigor, lingers at home in inglorious ease when his country calls him to arms.

(From the Indianapolis Journal, June 27, 18G4.) Frequent inquiry has been made of us by correspondents in the army, as well as by citizens at home, respecting the term of service for which recruits would be held who volunteered in old regi- ments with the understanding that they were to serve only for and during the "unexpired term" of their ri'speclive regiments. We have repeatedly stated in our columns that the military authorities at Washington had r fused to recognize enlistments (into old three years regiments) for a less period than the full t<'rm of three years. It is true that recruiting officers in their zeal to fill ui> the ranks of their companies, made representations to recruits that ttu'y would be held only for tli<- balance of the term of service of the particular regiment or battery for which they were recruited, but these representations, as we have been informed from official sources, were unauthorized. However this may be, it is very certain Ihut a large number of recruits were obtained unpervisod, and we think, ,?nder the circun/stan e uVouI fbi L ^ud fai^ 7r rei-mit the expoetatioiis of the soUiiers to be realized We k ,mv t),.t r 1., \ Government to had the interest of our troops at heart!°:a7t"vic"'prere,^W^; "n ^tU-rT t.

Fourtli. From the general reading, though perhaps not critical, of several orders issued by the War Department, jiroviding for and regulating recruiting for old regiments, apparently proceeding on the hypothesis that the recruiting was for regimental and not for the genera-! service, and tliat Ihe recruits would be held only for the unexpired term of the regiments, and would be mustered out along with them. But from whatever causes the understanding may have arises, or however erroneous it may have been, it is absolutely certain that it e.xisted, and so full was it that in the month of October, 1802, many of the men who had been drafted in Indiana for the period of nine montlis, volunteered into old r(!gimenta for the unexpired term, with the understanding that they should be held no longer; and I most respectfully submit that good faith requires that it should be strictly carried out. Nor was this understanding, as I am .idvised, confined to ladlana, but prevailed extensively in ■other States. It is undoubtedly true that the rolls which the men signed described an enlistment for tliree years or during the war. but this was explained, as I learn, as the necessary technical form of the enlistment, and did not disturb the conviction in their minds that they would be held only for the unexpired term of the regiment. The question has been presented to the War Department, and by it decided, that from the form of tho enlistments, the men would be held for three years from the date of enlistment, and without regard to the expiration of the term of the regiments into which they volunteered. Although it may not be in the power of the War Department to grant the relief sought for, yet it is undoubtedly v/ithiii tho power of Congress, and 1 respectfully but earnestly call their attention to it As alike 'demanded by justice, good faith, and sound policy. 0.

That the Secretary of War had approved and presented the memorial of Governor Morton to Congress— asking for the discharge of recruits enlisted with the understanding that they were to wrve only during the unexpired term of their regiments— with the recommendation that a law be passed authorizing the discharge of said recruits. 2. That owing to a press of business no action was had in the matter by Congress. 3. That th-e Secretary of War, in the absence of action by Congress, has decided that he had no power or authority to order the discharge of recruits enlisted under the supposition that they were to serve only for the unexpired term, the rolls showing that they were enlisted for the term of three ^''l was further informed that all Indiana troops would be mustered out as fast as the interests of the public service Nvould admit. ^^ ^^ ^ TERREI.L, Adjutant General Indiana.

On the 14th day of Spptember, 18G3, a Bettlcment was effected between the War Department and the State of Indiur.ii, for the ii amber of men furnished by the State, of which the following is a copy : Wab Department, Provost Marshal Oenf.ral's Okkice, ) Washington, D. C, SepteinbcT 14, 180;j. j His ExcKLLENCy, Oliver P. Morton, Governor Stale of Indiana, Indianapolix, Indiana: 8iit — I have the honor to inform yon that the State of Indiana stands credited upon the books of till- Adjutant General of the Army with an excess of US, 501 overall calls for troops, in 1801, 1802 and liSi.;!, up to the 4th day of June. The quota of the State for the present draft is 20,83.3. The excess of troops heretofore furnished by it, over the quota, is 1,GIJ8. There will, therefore, be no draft in Indiana und'/r the present call for troops, and the number of 1,G(>8 will stand to its credit in the future demands of the General Government. I am, Sir, very respectfully, your obedient servant, t JAMES B. FRY, Provost Marshal General. On the 10th day of October, 18fi3, the President of the United States issued a proclamation calling for 300,000 volunteers. On the 2l8t day of October. 1SG.'5, I received a di'patch from the Secretarj of War, assigning the quota of Indiana, under this call, at 18,997 men. This quota was apportioned among the various counties of the State upon the basis of the settlement made between the State and the War Department, in Septembt^r, taking into account the number of enlistments made between the date of the settlement, and the apportionment of the quota, as far as they could ba ascertained. On the 1st day of February, 1864, the President issued another call for 200,000 additional men. Adopting the ratio under the call of October, 18G3, the quota of Indiana under this call would be 12,U05 men, which, added to the quota under the call of October, would be in the aggregate 31,(i(i'J men. Immediately after the last call was made. Adjutant General Noble visited Washington, by my direction, to effect a settlement between the State and War Department, if possible, and ascer- tain the number of men already furnished, and the number that was still required from the State. The War Department was not prepared to make the settlement or give the required information, and General Noble returned without accomplishing his mission. General Love returned (rem Washington last week, whither he had gone on the same business. He brought with him the adjustment which will be found hereafter in the letter addressed to Colonel Baker, but as it was not oflicially furnished, and was subject to revision, no publication was made. Yesterday Colonel Uaker, the Assistant Provost Marshal General, received from Colonel James B. Fry, Provost Mar- shal General, the following communication : War Department, Provost Marshal General's Office, ^ Washington, D. C, March 10, 1864. ) Colonel Conkad Barer, A. A. Provost Marthal General, Indianapolis, Ind.: Sir — The quota of Indiana to fill the call of lhi> President for 500,000 men is as follows : The credit to the State for all men enlisted up to January 31, except veteran re-enlistments, is as follows : First Congressional District 384;t Second 2'J40 Third 3242 Fourth 2(i4!> Fifth 3021 Sixth 404,'i Seventh 3o31 Eighth .3701 Ninth 4529 Tenth 4248 Eleventh 4102 First Congressional District 31.34 Second 2.398 Third 2045 Fourth 2101 Fifth 2404 Sixth 3300 Seventh 2881 Eighth 3019 Ninth 3095 Tenth 3478 Eleventh 3340 The surplus of these credits over quotas and credits for all men enlisted from February 1st to April Ist, will be carried to the credit of the districts and sub-districts, on future calls. • I um, Sir, very respectfully, your obedient servant, JAMES B. FRY, Provost Marshal General. From this it will be seen that Indiana, on the first day of February last, had furnished her quota under all calls, and had an excess of 7,330 men, not including re-enlisted veterans. To this excess is to bo added the number of men mustered into the old and new regiments since the first of Feb- ruary, and the number supposed to be enlisted not mustered In, and the number of re-enlisted veterans, in all estimated at 17,000 men, making the total excess about 24,000 men, which number will probably be largely increased by the tjrst of April next. The settlement made in September was not satisfactory, as I believed that full credit had not been given for recruits which had joined the army in the field, and that the original basis itself wag incorrect. But I had no data, nor did it exist in the war Department, upon which to correct it. In the present adjustment, it will be perceived that the September settlemeut is entirely ignored. On the first day of March, Coloael Baker received from the Provost Marshal General the following dispatch : STATISTICS AND DOCUMENTS. 339 ColOKEL CONRAO B.KF.H, A. A. P. M.

FRY, P. M. General. The third section of the act approved February 24, 1864, is in these words, to-wit : "Sec. ,X And be it further enac/ed, That if the quotas shall not be filled within the time desi"- nated by the President, the Provost Marshal of the DiKtrict within which any ward of a citv town township, precinct, or election district, or county where the same is not divided into wards towns" townships, precincts, or election districts, which is deficient in its quota, is situated, shal'l, under the direction of the Provost Marshal General, make a draft for the number deficient therefrom but all volunteers who may enlist after the draft shall have been ordered, and before it shall be actuallv made, shall be deducted from the number ordered to be drafted in such ward, town township pi-ecinct, or election district, or county. And if the quota of any district shall not be filled by the draft made in accordance with the provisions of this act, and the act to which it is an amendment further drafts shall be made, and like proceedings had, until the quota of such district shall be tilled." According to the construction given to this section by Colonel Fry, a draft would be made in every ward of a city, or township in a county, that may not have furnished its quota, although the State, in the aggregate, may have furnished its quota and more. Whether this construction will be adhered to and acted upon by the Government, I am unable to say. The Adjutant General is preparing fer publication as rapidly as possible a statement of the num- ber of men furnished by each county from the beginning of the war, including the proper credits fur the re-enlisted veterans. The veterans are re-enlisted in the field, and the locality to which they are to be credited is determined by themselves at the time of re-enlistment, and put down upon rolls. The statement cannot, therefore, be completed until these rolls shall have been received. When we consider the great number of troops that have been furnished by the State for the prosecution of the war, the promptness with which they have responded to the calls of the Govern- ment, and the great and uniform gallantry they have displayed ujion so many bloody fields wc may well bo proud of the record which Indiana has made. Since writing the above, Colonel Baker has received the following dispatch : Wasuington, March 15, ISIA. Colonel Conbad Baker, A. A. P. M. General: The President of the United States has made a call for two hundred thousand (200,000) men ii) addition to the call of February 1, 1804, for five hundred thousand. The quota will bo two-fiftli« (2-5ths) of the quota of five hundred thousand, subject to additions for deficiencies and deduction for excesses on that quota. As soon as practicable you will be informed of the number requir>'.l from each District of your State. Notify the Governor immediately. [Signed] JAMES B. FRY, Provost Marshal General. Under this new call, the quota of Indiana, according to the ratio adopted under the call in Octo- ber last, will be 12,6()5, but according to the assignment in the letter addressed to Colonel Baker, above quoted, will be 13,008 men. The excess furnished by the State over former calls is almost double the quota under the last, yet it is not unlikely that, under the operation of the section quoted from the act of February 24, 1804, as construed by the Provost Marshal General, the draft may fall upon a number of counties that have failed to do their part. As before stated, the liabilities and credits of each county will be given as soon as the necessary data can be procured in the Adjutant General's office, and when that has been done, the quota of each county can be approximately dis- tributed among the several townships or wards in cities. ^ 0.

HONORARY MUSTER-IN OF OFFICERS. ExKCUTivF. Department Adjutant Genehal's Indianapolis, M CIRCDLAR. To Commanding Officers of Indiana Regiment! and Batteries : Your attention is respectfull}' calloil to tlip accompanyinp; communication from Ilia Excellency, Governor Morton, to the Secretary of War, in relation to tlie muster-in of officers in the volunteer Bcrvice from this State, who hold commissions for higher grades, hut who cannot be niUHtered in upon the same, under the existing regulatious of the service, because their commands are below the minimum. Under the rules of promotion adopted by the Governor, January 1, 18G2, all officers of merit, belonging to Indiana organizations, are entilled to promotion in "regular line," ui)on the recommendation of their superior ofhcers, without reference to whether they can be mustered into the higher grades to which they may be promoted, or not. And now that tlie rebellion is practi- cally ended, and our organizations are about to be honorably mustered out, it is but simjile justice that the services of those wlio have shouldered the responsibilities and disdiarged the duties per- taining to the positions to which they would liave been entitled — bnt for the reduction of their com- mands by the casualties of war — should be recognized by the Government by allowing them to bo mustered in upon the commissions issued to them for said liigher grades. It is confidently believed that the Secretary of War will take favorable action upon the Gover- nor's recommendation; and, in view of such action, it is desired that every vacaucy in field, staff, and line offices be filled by promotion, under and in accordance with the rules of promotion hereto- fore issued from this office. I have the honor, therefore, to request that you will at once make and fornsard to this office recommendations accordingly. Commissions will be issued and transmitted without delay. By ordei of Governor Mouton. W. H. H. TERRELL, Adjutant General of Indiana. Executive Depahtment, Indiana, 1 Indianapolis, 3Iay 22, ISBo. J Hon. E. M. Stanton, Sfcrclarrj of War, Washington, D. C. : Sir: — In view of the muster-out of a large number of volunteer officers, with their commands, under recent orders, I beg to submit for your consideration the following: That all field, staff, and line oHicers, now in service and about to be mustered out, who have been promoted and commissioned to higher grades in their respective regiments and companies, but who have not been mustered into said grades by reason of their commands being below the minimum strength, be so mustered in as of the date of their muster-out. In this State it has been the practice to promote and commission all officers of merit to fill vacan- cies in their regiments and companies, as a mark of distinction and respect, whether they could be mustered in or not. They have assumed all the responsibilities and discharged all the duties con- nected with the positions to which they have been commissioned ; and while their muster-in, as proposed, would not increase their pay, or in any manner affect the Government, it would be regarded by the officers interested as a valued comjdiment, a mark of approbation, anil a recogni- tion, on the part of the Government, of their faithful services in saving and restoring the country. I therefore respectfully and earnestly suggest that an order authorizing such nuLsters be issued at once. Very sincerelj- and truly, O. P. MORTON, Governor of Indiana. Docnmcnt Jio. 130. SOLDIERS' DISCHARGES. Executive Department or Indiana, \ Adjutant Genf.bal's Office, Indianapolis, August 7th, 18(iO. j To Discharged Indiana Soldiert : Mumerous inquiries having been made at this office in relation to the sale of soldiers' discharge papers, the following information and suggestions are published for the benefit of whom it may concern : The only object any one can have in purchasing soldiers' discharges is to defraud or speculate off of the soldiers who may bo foolish enough to sell their papers. It is believed that Congress, probably at its next session, will pass a law giving to the soldiers at least one hundred and sixty acres of land, and it may be that an additional bounty in cash will be granted to veterans and those who received none of the large local bounties paid to new recruits under the call of last year. Speculators nnderstand very well that no soldier can receive his land warrant, or any bounty that may be allowed by Congress, unless he can produce an honorable discharge. They therefore are BOW endeavoring to buy up these papers for a mere song, with a view of selling them back to the STATISTICS AND DOCUMENTS. 341 ^Un^:"^^:^: •"■ '" ^'"^ ""''"' "' ^""^ ^^ »'"■ '»- - P--^.

EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT OF INDIANA, ) Adji'tant Geneual's Office, '- Indianapoli.'i, Indiana, June r>, 18tJ7. j In consequence of the numerous requisitions that liave been made, and are likely to be made, np- on this Department for arms and equipments for military companies, I am directed to announce ihat it is not, at tliis time, deemed advisable to organize any portion of the militia of the State. Within tlie past two years, experience has demonstrated "that it is impossible to maintain an ef- fective and well disciplined militia force under existing hiws. During the late war, it is true, thi> •'Indiana Legion" rendered invaluable service in repelling rebel raids and guarding our Southern border against rebel invasion, yet it is also true that upon the surrender of Lee, every comjiany of the "Legion" abandoned its organization. The inefficiency of the militia law rendered it impossi- ble to enforce any sort of discipline or responsibility; and to save the State from great loss, the authorities were compelled to gather in the arms and other public property. This was only partial- ly accomplished, and at an expense almost equal to the value of the arras and stores recovered. It is estimated that there are now outstanding, scattered throughout the State, not less than 7,1)00 muskets, most of which will probably never be reclaimed An additional reason why the militia can not now be effectively maintained, is, that there is no fund provided for defraying the expenses which would necessarily be incurred. In a number of cases, it has been proposed to organize independent companies ; but as those are not recognized by the law, there is no authority whatever for issuing to them the public arms. In view of the foregoing facts, it is believed that the public interest will be best subserved by re- taining the few hundred arms now in possession of the State until such time us the Legislature, or the General Government, may provide by a new and more f^tringent law for the proper organization of the militia. The arms on hand are new and in perfect order, and have recently been carefully packed and stored for safety, at considerable expense, in the United States Arsenal near this city. In case of insurrection or riot, they may be required, and will be at ouce available. By oruee of Govf.unok Bakeb. W. II. II. TERRELL, Adjutant General of Indiana. Document No. 132.

An act of Cougriss, passnd July 31, 18G1, reads as follows: "AN ACT TO DEFINE AND PUNISH CEKTAIN CONSPIRACIES. "Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Uepresentalioes of the United States of America in Congress atnemhled. That if two or moro persons, within any State or Territory of the United States, Khali conspire together to overthrow, or to put down, or to destroy by force, the Government of the United States, or to levy war against the United States, or to oppose liy force the authority of the Government of the United States, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States; or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States against the will or contrary to the authority of the United States; or by any force, oi- intimidation, or threat, to prevent any person from accepting or holding any otlice, or trust, or place of confidence under the United States; each and every perr^on so offending shall be guilty of a high crime, and upon conviction thereof in any District or Circuit Court of the United States, having jurisdiction thereof, or District or Supremo Court of any Territory of the United States, having jurisdiction thereof, shall be punished by a fine, not less than five hundred dollars, and not more than five thou- sand dollars; or by imprisonment with or without hard labor, as the court shall determine, for a period not less than six months nor greater than six years, or by both such fine and imprisonment." Any combination, agreement, or understanding forcibly to prevent, hinder or delay the execution of any law of the United States, is by this law made a penal ofl'euse, although such combination, agreement, or understanding had not been carried into execution, and clearly covers the cases ot disloyal societies, which are known to exist in several parts of the State. The 2tth and 'ioth sections of the Conscription Act, approved March .3, ISfi:), read as follows : "Skc. 21. And he it furlht-r enacted. That every person not subject to the rules and articles of war, who shall procure or entice, or attempt to procure or entice, a soldier in the siTvice of the Uniti'd States to desert; or who shall harbor, conceal, or give employment to a deserter, or carry him away, or aid in carrying him away, knowing him to be such ; or who shall purchase from any sohliei his arms, equipments, ammunition, uniform, clothing, or any part thereof; and any captain or commanding otticer of any ship or vessel, or any superintendent or conductor of any railroad, or any other public conveyance, carrying away any such soldier as one of his crew or otherwise, knowing him to have deserted, or shall refuse to deliver him up to the orders of his commanding officer, shall, upon legal conviction, be fined, at the discretion of any court having cognizance of llio same, in any sum not exceeding five hundred dollars, and he shall be imprisoned not exceeding two years, nor less than six months. "Sec. if). And be it further enacted, That if any person shall resist any draft of men enrolled under this act into the service of the United States, or shall co\inscl or aid any ])erson to resist any such draft ; or shall assault or obstruct any officer in making such draft, or in the performance of an.v service in relation thereto; or shall counsel any person to assault or obstruct any such oR1(-er, or shall counsel any drafted man not to appear at the place of rendezvous, or willfully ersons in rebellion with arms or amniuni- liou, or provisions, or any other articles for their aid or comfort, or by sbipping, sending, or carrying to such enemies, or rebels, or their agents, any arms, ammunition, or provisions, or other articles for their aid or comfort, or by carrying on a traitorous correspondence with them, or shall form or be in any wixe concerned informing any combination, or plot, or cotuspiracy , for betraying thix State or the United States, or the armed forces of either, into the hands or power of any foreign enemy, or of any organized or pretended Government, engaged in re.tisting the laws or antliorily of the Goueinmentnf the United iVa^f.? o/ America, or shall give or send any intelligence to any such enemies or pretended Govern- STATISTICS AND DOCUMENTS. 343 inent, or their forces, for that purpose, every person so offeuding shall, upon conviction thereof bo imprisoned in the State Prison tor a term not I«s than two, n«rmore' than twenty o," years ami oe fined a sum not exceedinji ten thousand dollars." Jtars, anu Thissection is very broad in its character, and 'comprehends all orRaiiizations havinc for their The offenses defined and punished in the statutes I have quoted, are below the grade of treason and the guilt of the aocused party may be established by one creditable witness, or by circumstan- tial evidence, as in ordinary criminal prosecutions. It will be my purpose iu the future, as in the past, to do my whole duty to the Government of the United States and the people of Indiana. In the administration of the law, and the perform- ance of official duties, I recognize no parties. All who obey the laws, keep the peace, and difcharge their duties as citizens, are alike entitled to and will receive protection in person and property. The alarm which gome are attcmptin"- to create of the improper interference of the military authorities, may bo dismissed as without foun- dation. The right of the people peaceably to assemble and petition for a redress of grievances, and speak and publish tlieir opinions touching the policy of the Government, or the conduct of the' war, must be respected, and the enjoyment of it protected. But there is a wide difference between the legiti- mate exercises of this right and that unbridled license of speecli whicli seeks, by the assertion of the most atrocious falsehoods, to exasperate the people to madness and drive them into a position of neutrality between their Government and the rebels, if not into the very arms of the rebellion combine them in dangerous societies, provoke them to resist the laws, and tlius contribute directly to weaken our own Government and strengthen the cause of the enemy. The criticism of one who is friendly to the Government, and who is anxious that it shall succeed and be preserved, and who points out its errors in order that they may be corrected, is wholly dif- ferent from that denunciation which seeks to bring the Government into contempt and render it odious to the people, thereby withdrawing from it that natural support so necessary to its lifi' when Btrug,gling in battle with a powerful enemy. The one can never be mistaken for theother. It must be borne in mind that the exercise of the plainest rights and privileges may b- greatly modified by surrounding circumstances ; that what may be proper or innocent and harmless at one time, may be dangerous and criminal at another. To advocate the right of secession and rebellion, or the dissolution of our Government, might be harmless enough in time of profound peace, but when the country is engaged iu a desperate civil war, which is consuming the best blood and treasure of the Nation, and the misfortune of arms might, within a few days, bring the enemy upon the soil of our State, will it be contended that the privilege of free speech gives the right to advocate the rebellion, resistance to our own Government, or the abandonment of it to its enemies? That which is idle talk in time of peace, may become "aid and comfort to the enemy," and punishable by the laws of the land when that enemy is at our doors. Let nie exhort the people to moderation and submission to the laws, and laying aside their re- sentments and prejudices, to take counsel only of their duties and tlie dringers which threaten the Nation ; and while I assure them that protection shall be exteu'led to life, liberty, and property, and that equal and exact justice shall be administered to all, I would impress thim with the fact, that if needs be, the whole power of the State and Nation will be invoked to execute the laws, pre- • serve the public peace, and bring offenders to punishment.

In times of public prril like the present, and in view of what are believed to be well founded apprehensions of attempts on the part of those in authority to interfere by military pnwer with the freedom of elections, patriotism and prudence alike demand that the constitutional right of the people to keep and bear arms as a necessary means af defense to a free State, should not be violated- nor abandoned ; and it in the right and duty of all good citizens to co-operate ia oih'H lawful organ- isations for the protection of the freedom of elections and for the preservatkin of peace and consti- tutional order and the rights of the people within the State ; as well as for its defense against in- vasion, and we especially recommemi to the people ia all their counties, townships, and electioI^ precincts thorougli organization for these ends.

Bv order of the Committee, J. J. BIKGUAM, Chairman." The fecond clause declares that, in view of what are believed to be well-founded apprehensions- of attempts by those in authority to interfere with the freedom of elections, recommends a thorough military organization of people in all the counties, towns and election precincts, and advices all to exercise their constitutional right in keeping and bearing arms. The assumption that there is a well founded apprehension that those in authority in this Statfr will interfere by military power with the freedom of elections is absolutely and wickedly false. There is not one fact upon which such an apprehension can bo based ; not a circumstance can be referred to in the i)oliti(al or military liistory of the State during the existence of this war, justify- ing or suggesting the charge. It is true that this charge has been made before, but always without an element of truth, for the simple juirposo of exciting and goading the people into illegal, disloyal and dangerous organizations, and demonstrations against Federal ind State authority. So far as my administration ia concerned, I can safely defy the authors of this document to point, to a single act giving color to this wicked and infamous charge, or to- show a single instance in which I have failed to exercise the Executive jxiwer for the protectioa of persons and property, and social and civil rights, without regard to parties or politics. While serving as the Governor of In- diana, I have endeavored to act for the whole people and uot for a party, and shall so continue, re- gardless of all assaults or aspersions ; at the same time I shall not hesitate to vindicate legitimate authority, no difference under what pretence or by what method it may be assailed. So far as the approaching elections are concerned, they shall, to the e.Ktent of the power vested in me, be open, and free, and every legitimate voter be protected in the unrestrained and delibt^rate exercise of the .

This is my purpose, nor has there ever been any reason to doubt it, and I can- not, under the pretence that I am about to vioJate my duty,, tolerate tliie formation of any danger- ous or illegal military organizations, the true purpose of which is to resist the State and Federal autffority, overawe the people, control the elections, and thus accomplish the xt-ry thing against which it is hypocritically pretended they are to guard It is true that phrases about " open lawful- organizations," "defence against invasion," '»« be.-n done to the State and every part thmof correction of error, and see that full justice io eiven_at the Executive l>erartTnei»t, this IGth day of August, A.

Recent developments clearly show that a secret armed association exists ia tliis Stat* formed for She purpose of aiding the rebellion against the Uaited. States. The primary object of this dangerous association is to break down the power of the present ad- ministration in the prosecution of the war, and aid the rebellion by force, fraud and violence For this purpose large numbers of rebels from the armies of the South, uiwier the uamo and giiise of Refugees, have been sent to this State to co-operate with this treasonable association. Arms and ammunition, to a large amount, have been secretly imported, and placecfin the hands of these baneo ; and unless their designs are speedily checked, ruin and the "desolation tliat follows in the footsteps of war " will soon spread throughout the State In the counties of Martin, Orange, Craw- ford, Marshal and other localities, they have concentrated by hundreds, defied the laws, fired upon and killed enrolling officers, and woundeo law-abiding citizens, and robbed them of their property, with the avowed determination of aiding the rebellion. This cannot continue without civil war la our midst. I, therefore, earnestly appeal to all the good people of the State to aid me in suppressing tliese- unholy combinations against their peaee and future happiness. To do this, the association abov* aamed must be at once disbanded, and their priDcij>al leaders brought to justice. Kebels must bo- closely watched, and wherever they attempt to iuterfero with the rights of the pcopl*, speedily punished. Any further temporizing would be cruelty to the people of the State. The military au- thorities, under my command, will not attempt to interfere with the freedom of the eb'Ctive fran- ihise, in the coming elections, but it is their duty to aid the civil authorities in maintaining the purity of the ballot box and enforcing the laws. If any attempt is made by the secret armed foes of the country to control the elections by force, the offenders will be arrested and sent to those Jleadq^uarters, for trial. ALVIN P.

By order of the Secretary of War. r. n. WATSON, Assistant Secretary. A Corps of Abmy Surgeons.— Experience has proved that two Surgeons allowed to each regiment arc insufliiicnt to give that care and attention to the wounded that is necessary after a great battle has been fought. With a view to remedy this defect so far as Indiana troops are concerned, Gover- nor Morton will to-day commence maklTig appointments for a corps of Army Surgeons, w>'o will immediately i>roceed to the Field of Shiloh and report fur ac'dve duty. Two additional As.^istaiit Surgeons will be appointed for each regiment, and as Indiana has now twenty-four regiments in that vicinity the number of Surgeons to be oppidnted will be forty-eight. It is thought four Surgeons to a regiment will be ample to dress the wounds on the field, should another tight occur, and also care for those of our sick and wounded in the regimental and post hos- pitals. This action on the part of Governor Morton will meet with the heartj' approval of the humane everywhere, and we trust that the Executives of other States will follow bis example.— /n- dianapclis Journal, April 11, 1862. [Note.— The action of Governor Morton in sending additional Surgeons to the field, was received with great approbation by the Army, and the attention of Congress having been called to it, an act was passed, (approved July 2, 1802) which provided : That instead of " one Assistant Surgeon," as provided by the second section of the act of July 22, 1861, each regiment of volunteers in the service of the United States shall have two Assistant Surgeons.— W.

To the Senators and Representatives in the Congress of tlie United States : The undersigned respectfully represents that, from an intimate knowledge of the condition, wants and necessities of a large portion of the men composing the army of the United States, he is fully impressed with the belief that the pay of private soldiers should be increased, so as to make it bear a proper proportion to the increased cost of all the necessaries of life. The present pay of a private is thirteen dollars per month, or one hundred and fifty-six dollars a year. From this sum, a con- siderable portion must be deducted for the purchase of articles not furnished by the regulations, but which the soldier deems necessary to his health or comfort. Should the balance be remitted to his family in instalments as it is paid him, it will fall far short of furnishing a support. To the monthly pay a bounty of one hundred dollars is to be added. To the old regiments this is not to be paid until the final discharge, or upon the death of the soldier. To the new regiments twenty-five dollars of the amount were paid in advance, the balance remaining unpaid until final discharge or death. As the final payment of the bounty depends upon the good conduct of the soldier, and is subject to contingencies, it can hardly be considered as a means, or source of credit, for the current support of a family. It must be remembered that a large proportion of the soldiers composing the volunteer armies of the United States are men of family, upon whose labor wives, children, and parents, are dependent for support. Should not their labor be so paid for as to make it sutEcient fairly to yield that support it would do if they were at iionie and enguged in private pursuits ? They did not enter the army to make money, and do not desire to do so, but they do ask that they shall recieve such a compensation as will support in decency and comfort, the dependent ones they leave behind. The price of labor throughout the Northern States has greatly advanced since the commencement of the war, and it is submitted that, aside from all questions of family support, and as a matter of simple justice, the compensation to our soldiers should be increased. Their labor is, of all other, the hardest, to whicli should be added the great danger of death from battle, hardship, and disease. Men tell our recruiting officers every day — they would go into the army, but the pay allowed by the Government is insufficient for the support of their families, and they dare not leave them to the precarious charities of the public. The following statement of prices at Indianapolis, Indiana, will show the relative cost of various leading articles on the Cth of August, 1S61, when tiie present rate of pay was established, and the 27th day of November, 1862: Articles.

'.""'."'!.'."'.'.'.'."l 00 From the above statement it will be seen that the cost of articles of prime necessity in clothinK and furnishing a family has been increased one hundred and twenty per cent., while provisions and .groceries have increased in price not less than sixty per cent. It will be entirely safe to say that the cost of living, lu the most economical style, throughout the Northern States, has increased at least seventy-five per cent, within the last fifteen months, and prices are still auvancin" Thus eight dollars per month in August, ISiil, would have been a better compensation, and goire! farther in maintaining a family, than thirteen dollars per month in November, IHiii. Soldiers are paid in treasury notes at par, and as these notes have depreciated thirt\ per cent , as shown by the price of gold, their pay, from this fact alone, is substantially reduced to nine dollars per month. It may be urged in objection to the measure proposed that it will greatly increase the expendi- tures of the Government and add to the public debt. lu my judgment, it would prove to be sound economy. It would increase the efhciency of the army, prevent desertions, encourage vohiuteering, and perhaps avoid the necessity of another draft to fill up the old and depleted regiments. Deser- tion is becoming frequent, and threatens the demoralization and destruction of the army unless it be promptly arrested. The most potent cause of desertion is the condition of the soldier's family at home. He recieves letters from his wife, children, or parents, anncmncing that they are destitute of food, fuel, clothing, or are about to be turned out of doors for non-payment of rent, and that their neighbors are failing to provide for them, as they are able, and ought to do. He becomes mad- dened and desperate, and finding a furlough impossible, desertion is frequently the result. Whatever contributes to the speedy termination of the war, is economy on a large scale. Our hopes for peace and a restored country are founded upon the success of our armies, and it is believed that nothing would add to the efficiency and success of our arms so much as doing justice to the soldiers by increasing their pay. 1 beg to ask your early and serious consideration of this subject.

To the Patriotic Women of Indiana : When the President issued his first call to the loyal States for help, the Government was unpro- vided with most, if not all, the articles necessary to the comfort and health of soldiers in the camp and the field. The women of Indiana were appealed to, and they supplied the deficiency in our State with a generous alacrity that entitles them to the gratitude of the nation. The approach of winter makes' it necessary to appeal to them again. Our volunteers, already sutTering from expos- ure, against which they are very inadequately protected, will soon bo compelled to endure the utmost severity of winter and multiplied dangers of disease. The Government is doing all that can be done for them, but when all is done they must lack many of the comforts which men in ordinary pursuits enjov, and which soldiers need above all others. Many articles of clothing that, to men with houses o"ver their heads and warm fires always near, are hardly more than a luxury, to men with no protection but a tent, no bed but the ground, and whose duty must be performed under the unabated vigor of the winter, are absolutely necessaries. They may save many lives that will surely be lost without them. These the patriotic women of Indiana, it is hoped, will supply. An additional blanket to every man in our army will preserve hundreds to the country and to their families. Two or three pairs of good strong socks will be invaluable to men who must often march all day in snow, and without them must lie down with cold and benumbea feet on the frozen ground. Good woolen gloves or mittens will protect their hands in marching, and in handling their arms, and, while adding greatly to their comfort, will materially iticrease their elh.iency Woolen drawers and shirts, too, area necessity to men exposed to such ^"'^'^^/tuQes of weather as soldiers. All these articles the Indiana soldiers ought to have now, and must »if?'^«,^'"f ^^^^,!'« .°> if we would protect them from exposure and disease, that may be averted ^y^^"\l'ZlUau^'^i tion.

J To the Donors of Clothing for the Indiana Troops : The sympathies of the people of our Siato having become warmly enlisted in bdialf of our troops in the field, and donations for their use rapidly coming in. the Quartermaster General finds it necessary to adopt this method of answering numerous inquiries, verbally and by letter, a.s lo the manner in which such articles should be prepared for transporting to this Department. The following hints and directions are therefore submitted : Donations should mainly consist of blankets, socks, gloves or mittens, woolen shirts, and m-ck comforts ; heavier articles of clothing are furnished by Government, in sufficient quantities. Hos- pital supplies, and especially delicacies, are not solicited; both, because of the dilliculty of trans- porting them safely, and because, as a full supply is not to be expected, a limited one, it is believed, will not on the whole, promote the comfort or contentment of the soldiers. The Government fur- nishes all necessaries belonging to the Hospital Department, with abundant liberality. Packages should be put up in compact bundles, (unless the quantity is sufficient to fill a largf box,) directed to the Quartermaster General, with the contents marked outside, and the name of the donor. Also, when there is a preference of that kind, state the name of the soldier or company for whom the donation is intended. AVhen no such direction is given, the Quartermaster General will make the distribution according to his best judgment. Let all marking and writing, especially of names, be plain and legible. Deliver packages to the nearest Express or Freight Office ; geuerallj' no charge will be made for transportation to this point. A careful record will be kept in this Department, of all goods received and from whom, and immediately on their arrival, receipts for the same will be sent to the donors by mail. Whenever a sufficient quality accumulates, they will bo sent in charge of a trusty messenger to their proper destination, who will superintend their distribution in person. On tliis account, donors are urgently advised to avuil themselves of the agency of this Department in conveying their gifts to the proper objects, inasmuch as the camps are constantly changing their locations, and are frequently aside from the main lines of travel. Delay and loss of small packages, sent separately, are thus almost certain to happen, while by the course hitherto pursued by this Department which is the one above indicated, no goods forwarded to our soldiers from it have yet been lost or unneces- sarily delayed. Finally, it is earnestly to be hop*d that the rapid approach of tho cold season, will admonish Mie benevolent of our State to use all possible expedition in forwarding to this Department the benefac- tions they design to make.

ExECVTIVE DF.rARTMENT, ) -r ,. u * .1 ■ .• , , Imlianapolis, Ind., Nov. 14, l}sii2 f Indiana has at tins time nearly one hundred thousand of her sons in the field, enduring the hard- .hip3 and Pnvations incident to the life of soldiers. Tliey have gone forth at the call of their coun- try to defend with then lives the Constitution and Government under which we live. Thousands of these brave and patriotic men have left behind them families, with temporary provisions onlv for their support. In many cases these families, during the approaching wiiit.-r,"wi!l be in need of tlio ordinary comforts and necessaries of life, and destitute of the means of procuring them Many of them are too spirited to ask for assistance; others, unless some system is adopted for their relief will not know where to apply. The soldier's pay is often long delayed, his own necessities renuiro a portion of it, and the remainder is frequently greatly delayed in being transmitted to his familv It requires no argument to prove that, even if he sends all his money home, one hundred and tiftv- six dollars a year is a very scanty support for a family, especially at this season of high prices in many places business of all kinds is so much prostrated that those who can and are willing to labor are unable to tind employment. Everything bears a high price and everything is cash. The truth of what has been stated must be apparent to every one, audit remains with the patri- otic and liberal citizens of the State to apply the proper remedy. It is their solemn duty to bpo that the needy are cared for ; that, while the soldier is braving the perils of the battle-field, his wife and children and all who are dependent on him are made comfortable at home; and especiallv that his children are provided with books and afforded opportunity to attend school. This is not charity —but a sacred obligation, which should be met promptly, and willingly, and the recipients should be made to feel that they are not objects of charity, and that what they rtceivo is but the partial discharge of a debt of the most binding character. It may bo urged by many that they have already given largely and sacrificed heavily for these benevolent objects, and hence that they ought to be excused from further drafts. It may be asked, in reply, what are these sacrifices compared with the sacrifices of families who have given their nat- ural supporters and protectors to the cause of their country? What is the sacritice of the man living comfortably at home, even though he give half his income, to that of the man who has left his family and home and gone to the field ? The land is full of wealth, the harvest has been bountiful, and there can be no reasonable excuse for allowing the needy to suffer in a country like this. I would therefore respectfully and earnestly request, that in every township, in every town, and in every ward of the several cities in the State, some systematic plan, by means of regularly organ- ized committees or auxiliary Aid Societies, be at once adopted for relief. To Ministers of the Gospel I would say : No nobler work than this can engage the time you ma.v have at your disposal Much can be done by appeals from the pulpit and by jiersoual efforts with thociiinciit Xo.

TO THE DEMOCRACY OF INDIANA, Ilaviupc a deep interest in the future glory and welfare of our country, and bellevfng tliat we oc - rupy a position in which we can see the etfects of the political strupgles at V>nie upon the hopes and fears of the rebels, we deem it to be our duty to speak to you openly and iilaialy in' regard to tlse sanie. The rebels of the South ars leaufng cm the Northern Democracy for support, and it is unquestion- ably true that unjustifiable opposition to the Administration is "giving aid and comfort to the en- emy." While it is the duty of patriots to oppose tlw usurpation of power, it is alike their duty tc/ avoid captious criticisms, that might create the very evils which they attempt to avoid. The name of Democrat, associated with all that is bright and glorious in the history of the past, is being sullied and disgraced by demagogues, who are appealiog to the lowest prejudices and passion-* of our people. We have nothing to expect from the l^outh, and nothing to hope, without their con- ijuest. They are now using their money freely, to subsidize the press and politicians of the Xortli^ ;uid with what cfi'ect, the toue of some of our journals, and the speeches of some of their leader.*, to plainly and painfully testify. We sei-, with deep solicitude and regret, that there is an undercurrent in Indiana tending toward a coalition of the Northwest with the South agaiust the Eastern States. Be not deciived. Pause, for the love you bear to your country, and reflect. This movement is only a rebel scheme in disguise, tliat would involve you, alike with themselves, in the crime of rebellion, and bring to yonr owi> Iicartlistones the desolation of a French llevolution. Separation on either side, with peace in the future, is impossible, and we are compelled by self-interest, by every principle of honor, and every impulse of manhood, to bring this unholy contest to a successful termination. What I admit that we are whipped? That twenty-three millions of Northern men are une(iftl to' nine millions of the South? Shame on the State that would entertain so disgraceful a propusition '- Shame upon the Democrat who wonld submit to it, and raise his cowardly voice and claim that he was an Indianiau ! He, and such dastards, with their offspring, are fit " mud silis" upon which should be built the lordly structure of their Southern aristocracy ! And with whom would this unholy alliance he formed ? With men who have forgotten their fathers, their oaths, their coun- try and their God ; with guerrillas, cotton-burners ; with those who force every male inhabitant of the South capable of bearing arms into the field, though starving wives and liabes are left behind T 3Ien who persecute and hang, or drive from their lines, every man, woman and child who will no! fall down and worship the Southern god. And yet free-born men of our State will sympathize with such tryauts, and dare even to dream of coalition ! Indiana's proud and loyal legions number at least seventy thousand effective men in the field, and, as with one great heart, we know they woultJ repudiate all uuholy combinations tending to the dismemberment of our Government. In this dark hour of our country's trial, there is but one road to success and peace, and that is to he lis firnilij united for our Govermneiit as the rehch are against it. Small differences of opinion amount to iDlhing in this grand struggle for a mition's existence. Do not place even one straw in lln- way, and remember that every word you speak to encouage the South, nerves the arm and strikes thf» l,!ow which is aimed at the heart's blood of our brothers and kindred.

The business of t&is ofSce, and property belonging to it, has been, and will roHtinae to be, im- mense, and the records, fnr years to come, will be of the greatest valne. Independent of the State Militia, Indiana has furnished (not including volunteers raised under the present call of the Presi- Jeut) over 105, UOO soldiers for the defense of the Union. All the records appertaining to tiiis large force, properly belonging to the Adjutant General's Office, as well as of recrnits, drafted men, and substitutes, sent to old reginaents and batteries — discharges, musters-out, etc. Every vacancy, whether occurring by resignation, dismissal, death, discharge, or expiration - lish, has U-en very nearly ci'mpleted, only one volume yet remaining to be is'^ued. Thin report, show- ing the military record of each man sent by India'ia to assist in crushing the great rebellion, is one of the most valuable and interesting of all the ]>ublications ever undertaken by the State. It is no! an ephemeral production, but will increase in interest and value until long nt'UT all those of whose services it tells shall have passed away, and the thanks of this and the coming generations will always be due to the last General Assembly for having this great work comjileted before it has become too late. The Adjutant General recommends the publication of a supi)lementary volnnae, to contain such additions and corrections as later information will enable him to make. From the incomplete con- dition of the records of the office, ther^ are over twenty-two thousand men uuaccounti'd dr. (Jen- eral Terrell is using vigorous exertions to have these deficii'iicies suppli<-d, and it is believed that, by making copies of the Indiana rolls and records at the War Department, and the continm-d use i.f means already employed, that the history of every Indiana soldier can l>t< rendered full and eoni- ]dete. Tho volume should also contain a regi^.ter of all the men who lost their lives during the con- llict, with more (extended histories of sucii men, giving place, date and cause of death, and i)lace of burial. .\ list of deserters and draft sneaks could also be inserted, and the record of all cowards and recreants who disgraced the Stale be thus periietuated. This recommendation strikes us very favorably, and we respectfully recommend that the contract with the State Printer be extended to embrace an additional volume, and the Adjutant General be directed to pri'paro it as suggested in his communication. So great and valuable a work should l>e rendered as complete as possible. The Adjutant General also s\iggests the publication of the rolls of the Indiana Legion. Uhilu hi.s statement of the propriety of tliis publication is exceedingly forcible, we are not able to concur in the recommendation. Besides, the records of the Legion are comph-te, and the volume in question could be prepared at some future time, when the necessary expenditures of the State Gov- ernment are not so heavy. We are also compelled to report unfavorably upon the suggestion for publishing the tirst volume in the German language, and for a similar reason to that stated in the preceding case. We cannot leave this subject without mentioning the ability and industry with which this War Record of Indiana has been prepared. Few men have any adequate conception of the labor involved in such a work. The thanks of the State arc due General Terrell for the masterly manner in which the work has been issued. The State will always feel proud of this history, and her gratitude be ever due the Legislature which ordered it, and the Adjutant General who prepared it. BUSINESS OV THE ADJUTANT GENERAL'S OFFICE. Tho business transacted through this office is varied and extensive. No other department of tlip State Government has such a ui\iltiplicity of duties to perform, nor duties of greater value and importance to the people of the State at this time. The nature and extent of tho duties has been so succintly and compactly stated in the communication of the Adjutant General that v^e deem it unnecessary to speak of them here, further than to refer to the communication (pages IS, t) and 10,) and endorse the correctness of the statements, and approve all the propositions there presented. We desire to state, however, our great satisfaction at tho simplicity and neatness with whicli the valuable records of the ofTice havo been arranged. The rolls and records are so distributed that any rewarded with very considerable success. A very great deal of labor in the office in the way of making up the records, as \v(dl as in keeping up the current correspondence, issuing certificates, transcripts, and furnishing other informatioi> of importance tosoldieis and their representatives, yet remains to be done, and with the e.xtra duties relating to the adjustment of our war claims with tho United States (referred to hereafter,) will re(iuire the office to be kept open, with about the same force as at present employed, for tho next two years. In leaving this hrandi of t)ie subject, we liave only to mention that the work required of the Adjutant General's office has been promptly, faithfully and efficiently p<'rforn»ed, and its alVairs administered with economy, ability, and entire success. INDIANA WAR CLAIMS. In addition to his proper duties, the settlement of the claims of tho State against the genera! Government for expenses incurreil on account of the war, has also been entrusted to the Adjutant General. In regard to the j)eculiar fitness of General Terrell to prosecute this important work, it i» only necessary to say that he lias been connected with the E.xeciitive Department of the State from the beginning of the war, and has an intimate i)6rsonal knowledge of all its transactions ami mode of doing business. He administered the Finance D<'partnient through nearly the entirt period of its existence, and he has a knowleilge concerning these claims possessed by no other man. The importance of this business to tho State is very little umlerstood. The amount of the claims unad- justed is S2,17'>,S01 ;i5. Of these, however, accounts amounting to Sl,7r)<;,7i).T 12 have been examined by the Treasury Dei>artment, and suspensions made to the amount of S1,:SS1,2()0 41. These suspen- sions grow out of the informality or insufficiency of the vouchers; and it will at once be seen the importance to the State of having a man to supply the deficiencies of the vouchers and superin- tend the adjustment of the accounts who is familiar with tho business, and has complete and iuti- STATISTICS AND DOCUMENTS. 359 mate knowledge of Hie wliole subject. Genenil Terrell states that he will need two experienced clerks to complete this settlement, and it is probable that it will be necessary to in, ur considerable additional expense in procuring the evidence, and sifrnatnres to complete the deticieut vouchers In our recommendation for appropriation for the Adjutant General's office, this expense ia included. INDI.\NA LEGION ACCOUNT. In addition to the claims above mentioned, there are others on acconnt of expenditures hv the State in equipping and subsisting the Iijdiana Legion, amounting to over half a million of doilars which It is believed the Government can be induced to pay. General Terrell proposes to take thii matter in charge also, and we feel confident that it will be vigorously ami efficiently prosecuted. ORDNANCE MATTERS. By direction of the last General Assembly the duties of the Ordnance Department of the State were committed to the charge of the Adjutant General. How eflicicntly and skillfully those duties have been discharged his communication bears ample testimony. .\ complete settlement has been eftected with the general Government, by which the State has been released from oil accounta- bility on account of ordnance. The settlement made upon such favorable terms, was a saving to the State of §'.«,'J(13 35, which amount would otherwise have had to be assessed upon the counties in arrearage, some of them being deficient to the amount of ten to fifteen thousand ilollars. In addition to this a claim of the State amounting to S2:i,'JUl US, for taking care of United States arini*, has been made up and filed with the proper department, and will no doubt be allowed without much delay. The Adjutant General has also taken steps to procure from the Government the quota of arras due the State for the pa-)t seven years under the law of 1SU8. Throughout all this busi- ness General Terrell has shown great foresight and wisdom, and we take pleasure in bearing this testimony to the value and importance of his labors. EXPENSES AND APPROPRIATIONS. The affairs of the Adjutant General's office have been economically administered, and all the expenditures have been judicious and reasonable. For the proper prosecution of the work of the office proper, the settlement of claims already referred to, and the necessary expenditures for sta- tionery and other incidentals, we recommend an appropriation of five thousand dollars for the year 18f)7, and the same amount for 18G8.

A WESTERN jCONSPIRACY IN AID OF THE SOUTHERN REBELLION. War Department, Bpreau of Military Justice. ) W'asiiington, D. C, October 8, 1804.) Hon, E. M. Stanton, Secretary of War : Sir: Having been instructed by you to prepare a detailed report upon the mass of testimony furnished me from difTerent sources in regard to the Secret Ansociationx and Cotispiracies aijainst the Government formed, principally in the Western States, by traitors aud disloyal persons, I have now the honor to submit as follows: STATISTICS AND DOCUMENTS. 3G1 Puring more than a year past it has Ijeon generally known to onr militarv authorities that a a secret treasonable organization, affiliated with the Southern Itehellion and chieny militarv in itn character, has been rapidly extending itself throughout the West. A variety of agencies, wliieh will be specified herein, have been employed, and successfully, to ascertain its nature and extent as well as Its aims audits results; and, as this investigation has led to the arrest in several States of » number of its prominent members as dangerousenemies to their countrv, it has b-eu ileem.-d iiroper to set forth in full the acts and purposes of this organization, and tlius to make known to the country at large its intensely treasonable and revolutionary spirit. The subject will be presented under the following heads : I. Its origin, history, names, &c. II, Its organization and officers. Til. Its extent and numbers. IV. Its armed force. V. Its ritual, oaths, and interior forma. VI. Its written principles. VII. Its specific purposes and operations. VIII. The witnesses and their testimony. I.— ITS ORIGIN, HISTORY, XAMES, &c. This secret association first developed itself in the West in the yearlSfi'i, about the period of the first conscription ol troops, which it aimed to obstruct and resist. Originally known in certain lo- calities as the "Mutual Protection Society," the "Oircle of Honor," or the '•("irclo" or "Knights of the Mighty Host," but more widely as the "Knights of the Golilen Circle," it it was simply an inspiration of the rebellion, being little other than an extension among the dis- loyal and disaffected at the North of the association of the latter name, which had existed for some years at the South, and from which it derived all the chief features of its organization. During the summer and fall of 18B3, the Order, both at the North and South, underwent some modifications as well as a change of name. In consequence of a partial exposure which had been made of the signs and secret forms of the " Knights of the Golden Circle," Sterling Price had in- stituted as its successor in Missouri a secret political association, which he called the "Coipsde Belgi()iie," or "Southern League;" his principal coadjutor being Charles L. Hunt, of St. Louis, then Belgian Consul at that city, but whose exequatur vr as subsequently revoked liy the President on account of his disloyal practices. The special object of the Corps de Belgique appears to have been to unite the rebel sympathizers of Missouri, with a view to their taking up arms and joining Price upon his proposed grand invasion of that State, and to theii recruiting for his army in the interim. Bleanwhile, also, there had been instituted at the North, in the autumn of 18G3, by sundry dis- loyal persons, prominent among whom were Valhindigham and P. C. Wright, of New York, a secret order, intended to be general throughout the country, and aiming at an extended intliience and power, and at more positivo results than its predecessor and which was termed, and has since been widely known as the 0. A. K., or "Order vf American Knights." The opinion is expressed by Colonel Sanderson, Provost Marshal Genfral of the Department of Missouri, in his official report upon the progress of the order, that it was founded by Vallandigham during his banishment, and upon consultation at Richmond with Davis and other prominent trai- tors. It is, indeed, the boast of the order in Indiana and elsewhere, that its " ritual " came direct from Davis himself; and Mary Ann Pitman, formerly attached to the command of the rebel tor- rest, and a most intelligent witness, whose testimony will hereafter be referred to, states positively that Davis is a member of the order. , ,,^ j -n i • 11 Upon the institution of the principal organization, it is represented that the Corps dc Belgique was modified by Price, and became a Southern section of the 0. A. K., and that the new name was generally adopted for the order, both at the North and South. The secret signs and character of the order having become known to our military authorities, further modifications in the ritual and forms were introduced, and its name was hnally clianged to that of the 0. S. L., or " Order of the Sons of Liberty," or the " Knights of the Order of the Sons of Liberty." These later changes are represented to have been first instituted, and the new ritua compiled, in the State of Indiana, in May last, but the new name was at once g-^-'era y adopted throughout the West, though in some localities the association is still better known as the Order of the American Knights." , , , . x- t t„ „«• Tii:r.^iQ it ho.

Those officers also ;ire elected anim- iilly by " rcpreseiitatiVHs " from the County Teni[>leH, each Temple being entitled to two represen- tatives, anil one additional for each thousand members. This body of representatives is alio in- Tested with certain I'pislative (unctions. 3. The Hareiit Temple is the cjrganizaf ion of the order for a county, each temple being formally instituted bv authority of the Supreme (,'ouncil, or of the Grand Councilor Grand Commander of the State. Uy the same autliority, or by that of the officers of the Parent Temple, branch or sub- ordinate temples may be established for townships in the county. But the strenKth and siKnificance of this orRanization lie in its military character. The secret constitution of the Supreme Council provides that the Supreme Commander " ihnll he commantler- in-chief of nil inililarii forces belonijing to the order in the various Statef when called into actual ser- vice ;" anil further, that the Grand Comni:inders " shall he commanders-in-chief of the militarii forces of their respeclire States. Subordinate to tlie Grand Commander in the State are the " Major Gene- rals," each of whom commands his sei)arate district and army. In Indiana the 'Slajor Generals are four in number. Inlllinfiis, where the organization of the ilrderis considered most perfect, the members in each Congressional I'iHtrict composes a " fcrijaf/e," which is commanded by a " Vriija- dier General." The members of each county constitute a "regiment," with a "colonel" in com- mand, and those of each township form a " comjtany." A somewhat similar system i)revails in In- diana, where also each company is divided into " sqnads," each with its chief — an arrangement in- tended to facilitate the /juerrilla mode of warfare in case of a general outbreak or local disorder. The " McClfllan Minute Guard," as appears from a circular issued by the Chief .Secretary in New York in Manh last, is organized upon a military basis similar to that of the order proper. It is comjjosed of companies, one foretell election district, ten of which constitute a "brigade," with a " brigadier general " at its head. The wliole is placed under the authority of a "comman- der-in-chief." A strict obedience on the part of members to the orders of their superiors is en- joined. The first " Supreme Commander " of the order was V. C. Wright, of Xew York, editor of tlie New York Kejrs, who was in May last placed in arrest and confined in Fort Lafayette. His succes- sor in office was Vallandigham, who was elected at the annual meeting of the Supreme Council in February last. Robert Holloway, of Illinois, is represented to have acted as Lieutenant General, or Dejinty Supreme Commander, during the absence of Vallandigham from the country. The Se- cretary of State chosen at the last election was Dr. Massey, of Ohio. In Missouri, the principal officers were Chas. L. Hunt, grand commander, Charles E. Dunn, de- puty grand commander, and Green B. Smith, grand secretary. Since the arrest of these three per- sons (all of whom made confessions, which will be presently alluded to), James A. Barrett has, as it is understood, officiated as grand commander. He is stated to occupy also the position of chief of staff to the Supreme Commander. The Grand Commander in Indiana, H. H. Dodd, has just been tried at Indianapolis by a military commission for "conspiracy against the Government," " violation of the laws of war," and other charges. The Deputy Grand Commander in that State is Horace Heffren, and the Grand Secretary, W . M. Harrison. The Major Generals are \V. A. Bowles, John C. Walker, L. P. Milligan, and An- drew Humphreys. Among the other leading members of the order in that State are Dr. Athon, State secretary, and Joseph Kistine State auditor. The Grand Commander in Illinois is Judd, of Lewistown ; and B. B. Piper, of Springfield, who is entitled " Grand Missionary " of the State, and designated also as a member of Yallandig- hara's staff, is one of the most active members, having been busily engaged throughout the summer in establishing temples and initiating members. In Kentucky, Judge Bullitt, of the Court of Appeals, is grand commander, and, with Dr. U. K. Kalf'us and \V. R. Thomas, jailor in Louisville, two other of the most prominent members, have been arrested and confined by the military authorities. In New York, Dr. 11. F. Stevens, the chief secretary of the McClellan Minute Guard, is the most active ostensible representative of the secret order. The greater part of the cliief and subordinate officers of the order, and its branches, as well as the principal members thereof, are known to the Government, and where not already arrested, may regard, themselves as under a constant military survellianco. So complete has been the exposure of this secret league, that however frequently the conspirators may change its name, forms, passwords and signals, its true purposes and operations cannot longer be concealed from the military author- ities. It is to be remarked that tlio Supreme Council of the order, which annually meets on Febriiary 22, convened this year at New York City, and a special meeting was then appointed to be held at Chicago on July I, or just prior to the day then fi.\ed for the convention of the Democratic party. This convention liaving been postponed to August 29, the special meeting of the Supreme Connril was also postponed to August 27, at the same place, and was duly convened accordingly. It will In- remembered that a leading member of the convention, in the course of a speech made before that body, alluded approvingly to the session of the Sons of Liberty at Chicago at the same time, as that of an organization in harmony with the sentiment and projects of the convention. It may be observed, in conclusion, that one not fully acquainted with the true character and intention of the order might well suppose that, in designating its officers by high military titles, and in imitating in its organization that established in our armies, it was designed merely to render itself more popular and attractive with the masses, and to invest its chiefs wich a certain sham dignity ; but when it is understood that the order comprises within itself a large army of well armed men, constantly drilled and exercised as soldiers, and that this army is hidd ready at any time for such forcible resistance to our military authorities, and such active co-operation with the public enemy as it may bo called upon to engage in by its commanders, it will bo perceived that the titles of the latter are not assumed for a mere purpose of display, but that they are the chiefs of an actual and formidable force of conspirators against the life of the Government, and that their mili- tary system is, as it has been remarked by Colonel Sanderson, "the grand lever used by the rebel Government for its army operations." III.— ITS EXTENT AND NUMBERS. The "Temples" or "Lodges" of the order are numerously scattered through the States of Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Missouri and Kentucky. They are also officially reported as established, to a less extent, in Michigan and the other Western States, as well as in New York, and aloo in Pennsylva- Dia, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware and Tennessee. STATISTICS AND DOCTTMENTS. 3G,3 Podd, the Grand Commander of Indiana, in an address to the members in that State of Fcbrnarj last, claims that at the next annual meetins of the Supreme Cuunril (in February ISiif) ) cyorv State in ihe Union will be represented, and adds : "This is the first and only tru- nati-.nal'or-ani'- zation the Democratic and Conservative men of the country bavo ever attempted." \ proWsion made in the constitution of the Council for a representation from the Territories shows, indeed thai the widest extension of the order is contemplated. ' In the States first mentioned the order is most strongly centered at the foUowinR places, wliere are situated its principal "Temples." In Indiana, at Indianapolis and Vinceniie.s ; in Illinois, at Chicago, Springfield and Quincy, (a large proportion of the lodges in and about the latter placo having been founded by the notorious guerrilla chief, Jackman); in Ohio, at Cincinnuti, Dayton, and in Hamilton county, (which is proudly termed by members "The South Carolina of the North"); in iMissonii, at St. Louis ; in Kentucky, at Louisville ; and in Michigan, at Dinroit, (whence com- munication was freely had, by the leaders of the order, with Vallandigham during his baiiishnniit, either by letters addressed to him through two prominent citizens and members of ihn order, or by personal interviews at Windsor, C. W.) It is to be added that the regular places of meeting, as well as the principal rendezvous and haunts of the members in these and less important places, are generally well known to the Government. The actual numbers of the or 1,000,000; but Vallandigham, in his speech last summer at Dayton, Ohio, i)laced it at .'lOO.OOO, which is probably much nearer the true total. The number of its members in the several States has been differently estimated in the reports and statements of its officers. Thus, the force of the order iu Ii'diana is stated to bo from 7.'i,000 to 125,000; in Illinois, from 100,000 to 140,IXX) : in Ohio, from 80,000 to 108,000; in Kentucky, from 40,000 to 70,000; in Missouri, from 20,000 to 40,000 ; and in Michigan and New York about 20,000 each. Its representation in the other States above mentioned does not specifically appear from the testimony ; but, allowing for every exaggeration in the figures reported, they may be deemed to present a tolerably faithful view of what, at least, is regarded by the order as its true force in the States designated. It is to be noted that the order, or its counterpart, is probably much more -widely extended at the South even than at the North, and that a large proportion of the officers of the rebel army are reji- resented by most reliable witnesses to be members. In Kentucky and Missouri the order has not hesitated to admit as members, not only officers of that army, but also a considerable number of guerrillas, a class who might bo supposed to appreciate most readily its aims and purposes. It is fully shown that as lately as in July last several of these ruffians were initiated into the first degree by Dr. Kalfus, in Kentucky. IV.— ITS ARMED FOBCE. A review of the testimony in regard to the armed force of the order will materially aid in deter- nining its real strength and numbers. .,, u local I lies 1 1 Ijas uueu ituoulJieiJ iuvjuin;u 1, 11 1*1, vt»^/*j ii,<^ujk/<.« u,i^«,« ^^^^^ „ .. , certain arms and a specified quantity of ammunition. , , ~. ■ In March last, the entire armed force of the order, capable of being mobilized for effective service, was represented to be a40,000 men. The details, however, upon which this statement was based are imperfectly set forth in the testimony, and it is not known how far this number may be exagge- rated. It is abundantly shown, however, that the order, by means of a tax levied upon its mem- bers, has accumulated considerable funds for the purchase of arms and ammunition an'i "'at •"eso have been procured in large quantities for its use. The witness Clayton, on the trial of Dodd, esti- mated that two-thirds of the order are furnished with arms. , G. B.

Such resistance is not revolution, but is solely the assertion of right — the exercise of iill the noble attiibutes which impart honor ami clii^nity to manhood." To till! same efiect, though in a milder tone, is the plattorm of the order in Indiana, put forth by the Grand Council at their meeting in February last, which declares that " the right to alter or tibolisk their Government whenc^ver it fails to secure the blessings of liberty, is one of the inalien- able rights of the people that can never be surrendered." Such, then, are the principles which the new member swears to observe and abide by in his obliga- tion, set forth in the ritual, wliere he says ; " 1 do solemnly promise that will I evi^r cherish in my le art of hearts the sublime creed of the E. K. (Excellent i'inights), and will, so fai as in me lies, illustrate the same in my iiiterc urse with men, and will defend the principles thereof if need be, with my life, whensoever assailed, in my own country liret of all. I do further solemnly declare that 1 will never take up arms in behalf of any goverument which does not acknowledge the solo .-tuthority or power to be the will of the governed." In the same connection may be quoted the following extracts from the ritual, as illustrating the Itrinciple of the right of revolution, and resistance to constituted authority, iusisted upon by the order : " Our swords shall be unsheathed whenever the great principles which we aim to inculcate and have sworn to maintain and defend are assailed." Again: " 1 do solemnly promise, that wluMiever the principles which our order inculcates shall lie assailed in my own State or country, I will v» were issued in their cases by disloyal judges, and a considerable number were discharged thereon. In one instance, in Indiana, where an officer in charge of a deserter properly refused to obey thi! writ, lifter it had been suspended in such cases by the President, his attachment for contempt was ordered by the Chief .lustice of the State, who declared the " streets of Indianapolis might run with blood, but that he would enforce his authority against the President's order." On another occasion certain United States officers, who had made the arrest of deserters in Illinois, were themsitlves arrested for kidnapping, and held to trial by a disloyal judge, who at the same time discharged the desertvrti, though acknowledging them to be such. Soldi(!rs, upon deserting, were assured of immunity from punishment, and protection on the part of the order, and were instructed to bring away with them their arms, and, if mounted, their horses. Details sent to arrest them by the military authorities were in several cases forcibly resisted, and, where not unusually strong in numbers, were driven back by large bodies of men, subsequently generally ascertained to be members of the order. Where arrests were effected, onr troops were"openly attacked and fired upon, on their return. Instances of such attacks occurring in Morgan and liush dunties, Indiana, are especially noticed by General Carrington. In the case of the outbreak in Morgan county, J. J. Bingham, editor of the Indianapolis Senlincl. a member or friend of the order, sought to forward to the disloyal newspapers of the West false and inflimmatory teleuraphic dispatches in regard to the affair, to the effect that cavalry had been sent to arrest nil the Democrats in the county, that they had committed gross outrages, and that .several citizens had bien shot ; and adding: "Ten thousand soldiers can not hold the men arrested this night. Civil war ami bloodshed are inevitable." The assertions in the dispatch were enlin-ly false, :uid may serve to illustrate the fact heretofore noted, that a studious misrepresentation in regard to the acts of the Government and its officers is a part of the prescribed duty of members ot the order. It is to be a.bled that seven of the party in Morgan county who made the attack upon our troops were convicted of their otTensc by a State court. Upon their trial it was proved that the party was com- posed of members of the K. G. C. j • • t.. i: One of the most pointed instances of protection furnished to deserters occurred in a case in Indi- ana where seventeen d.serters entrenched themselves in a log cabin with a oitch and palisade and were furnished with provisions and sustained in their defense against onr military authorities lor a considerable period by the order or itb friends. •2.

(.'ommiiitico^irt;/ irilh and Giving InteUigencr lolke Enemy. — Smith, Grand Socretiirv of tho order in Missouri, says, in his conlVsKinn : " Kelx'l spies, mail-carriers, and emissaries, have hi-en carofiilly protected i)y thisonler ever since I havcbeen a nieml)er." It is sliowii in the testimony to liecu.stoni- ary in the rebel service to eniijlciy members df the order as spies, nnder tlie gui«e ot soldiers t'urnislied with furloughs to visit their homes vvitliiu our lines. On eominfc witliiu the territory oceiipieil \>\ our forces, they are harbored and sup[died witli information by the order. Anotiier cla.s8 of spied claim to be deserters from the enemy, and ot once seek an opportunity to take the oath of allegiance, which, however, thonfrh voluntarily taken, they claim to be administered while they are under a species of duress, and therefore, not to bo binding. Upon ewearing allegiance to the ficiveriimeiit. the pretended deserter engages, with the assistance of tho order, in collecting contraband goods, or procuring intelligence to be conveyed to the enemy, or in someotlicr treasonable enterprisi'. In lu!" official report of .lune liith last. Colonel Saudersou remarks: "This department is tilled with rebel spies, all of whom belong to the order." In Missouri, regular mail communication was for a long period maintained through the agency of tho order from 8t. Louis to Price's army, by means of which jirivate letters us well as otlicial despatches between him and tin; Grand Comniiinder of Missouri were regularly transmitted. The mail-carriers started from a pnitit on tlo; racific railroad, near Kirkwood Station, about fourteen miles from St. Louis, and traveling only by night, proceeded (to (juoto from Colonel Sanderson's report) to " Matto.x Mills, on the Marumee river, thence past Mineral Point to Webster, thence to a point fifteen miles below Van Kuren, where they crossed the Black river, ami thence to the rebel lines." It is probably also by this lonte that the secret conespoiidence, stated by the witness Pitman to iiave been constantly kejit up bitween Price and Vallandigham, the lieads ot the order at the North and South, respectively, was successfully maintained. A similar communication has been continuously held with the enemy from Louisville, Kentucky. A considerable number of women in that State, many of them in high position in rebel society, ami some of them outwardly profi-ssing to be loyal, were discovered to have bef n actively engaged in receiving and forwarding mails, with the assistance of the order and as its instruments. Two of the most notorious and successful of these, Mrs. Woods and Miss Cassell, have been uppreheudcU and imprisonrised of all raids to be made by tho forces of the fo' nier, and were able to hold themselves prepared to render aid and comfort to the raiders. To show how efncient for tliis purpose was the system thu? establi.sli^d, it is to be added that our military authorities have, in a number of cases, been informed, through members of the order, employed in the interest of the Government, of impending raids, and important army movements of the rebels, not only days, but Bometimes weeks sooner than the same intelligence could have reached them through the ordinary channels. Ou the other hand, the system of espionage kept up by the order, for the purpose of obtaining information of the movements of our own forces, etc., to be imparted to the enemy, seems to have been as perfect as it was secret. The tj'rand Secretary of the order in illissouri states, in his confes- sion: " One of the special objects of tliis order was to place members in steamboats, ft-rryboHts, telegraph offices, express office*, department headquarters, provost Marshal's office, and, in fact, in every position where they could do valuable service ;'" and he proceeds to specify certain members, who, at the date of hia confession (August 2d last,) were employed at the e.xpress and telegraph offices in St. Louis. 5. Aiding the Enem;/ by Recniilinq for Them or Assisting Them to Itecruit icilhin our Lines. — Thi.t iias also been extensively carried on by members of the order, particularlv in Kentucky and Mis- souri. It is etitimaied that two thousand men were sent South from Louisville alone, during a few weeks in April and May, l)artii.ular steamer — the Graham — was selected as the safest convenience. 0. Furnishing the lielels tcith Arms, Ammnnition, <{-c. — In this, too, the order, and especially its female members and allies, has been sedulously engaged. The rebel women of Louisville and Ken- tucky are represented as having rendered tlie most valuable aid to the Stuitheru army, by transport- ing very large (juantities of percussion caps, powder, etc., concealed upon their person.*, to some convenient locality near the lines, whence they could bo readily conveyed to those for wliom they were intended. It is estimated that at Louisville, up to May 1, last, the sum of S17,IIOO had been invested by the order in ammunition and arms to be forwarded principally in this manner to the rebels. In .St. Louis, several firms, who are well known to the Government, the principal of which is Beauvais & Co., have been engaged in supplying arms and ammunition to members of the order, to be conveyed to their Southern allies. Mary Ann Pitman, a reliable witness, and a member of the O. A. K., who will hereafter be specially alluded to, states in her testimony that she visited Bi;auvais Sc Co. three times, and procured from them ou each occasion about eighty dollar's worth of caps, besides a number of pistids and cartridges, which she carried in person to Forrest's command, besides a much larger (juantity of similar articles which she caused to be forwarded by other agents. The guerrillas in Missouri also nceived arms from St. Loiiis, and one Douglas, oue of tin' most active conspirators of the 0. A. K. in Missouri, and a special emissary of Price, was arrested whil" in the act of transporting a box of forty revolvers by railroad to a guerrilla camp in tho interior of the State. Medical stores in large quantities were also, by the aid of the order, furnished to tho STATISTICS AND DOCUMENTS. 369 enemy ; and a surgeon in Louisville is mentioned as liaving " made STo.OOO by smnggling mcdlcinps" through the lines of our army. Supplies were in some cases convoyed to the enemy through tho medium of professed loyalists, wlio. having received permits for" that purpose from the I'nitcd States military authorities, would forward their goods, as if for ordinary purposes of trade, to a certain point near the rebel lines, where, by the connivance of the owners, the enemy would be enabled to seize them. 7. Co-operating villi (he Enemy in Raids and Invasions. — While it is clear that the order has given aid, both directly and indirectly, to the forces of the rebels, and to guerrilla bands, when engaged in making incursions into the border States, yet because, on the one hand, of tlie constant restraint upon its action exercised by our military authotities, and, on the other hand, of tlie general success of our armies in the field over those of the enemy, their allies at the North has never thus far been able to carry out their grand plan of a general armed rising of the order, and its co-operation on an extended scale with the Southern forces. This plan has been two-fold, and consisted — first, of u rising of the order in Missouri, aided by a strong detachment from Illinois, and a co-oparation with a rebel army under Price; second, of a similar rising in Indiana, Ohio, and Kentucky, and a co- operation with a force under Breckinridge, Buckner, Morgan, or some other rebel commander, who was to invade the latter State. In this case the order was first to cut the railroad and telegraph ■wires, in order that intelligence of the movement might not be sent abroad and the transportation of federal troops might be delayed, and then to seize upon the arsenals at Indianapolis, Columbus, Springfield, Louisville, and Frankfort, and, furnishing such of their number as were without arms, to kill or make prisoners of department, district, and post commanders, release the rebi 1 jirisoners at Rock Island, and at Camps Morton, Douglas, and Chase, and thereupon join the Southern army at Louisville or some other point in Kentucky, which State was to be permanently occupied by tho combined force. At the period of the movement it was also proposed that an attack should be made upon Chicago by means of steam-tugs monnted with cannon. A similar course was to be taken in Missouri, and was to result in the permanent occupation of the State. This plan has long occupied the minds of members of the order, and has been continually dis- cussed by them in their lodges. A rising somewhat of the character described was intended to have taken place in the spring of this year, simultaneously with an expected advance of the army of Leo upon Washington ; but the plans of the enemy having been anticipated by the movements of our our generals, the rising of the conspirators was necessarily postponed. Again, a general movement of the Southern forces was anticipated to take place about July 4, and with this the order was to co- operate. A speech to be made by Vallandigham at the Cbichigo Convention, was, it is said, to be the signal for the rising ; but the postponement of the convention, as well as the failure o> the rebel armies to engage in the anticipated movement, again operated to disturb the schemes ot the order. During the summer, however, the grand plan of action above set forth has been more than ever discussed throughout the order, and its success most confidently predicted, while at the same time an extensive organization and preparation for carrying their con.spiracy into effect have Deen actively going on. But, up to this time, notwithstanding the late raids of the enemy m KeutucKy, ies e 8 which had been shipped for the use of the order in their intended outbreak.

In Missouri, also, similar outracis committed upon tho properly of loyal citi- zens are attributable, in a great dej^ree, to the secret Order. In this conui^ctioii, the outlireak of tlio miner.-i in the coal districts of eastern Pennsylvania, in tho autumn of last year, may bL> appropriately referri^l to. It was fully shown in thi- testimony adduced upon the trials of these insurgents, who were guilty of the destruction i>\' property anil numerous acts of violence, as well as murder, that tliey were geni:rally members of a secret "treas- onable association, similar in all respects to the ICf/.C, at the meetings of which they had been in- cited to the commission of the crimes for which they were tried and convicted. 10. Aifsassinalion and Murder. — Alter what has been disclosed ill regard to this infamous league of traitors and runian:>, it will not be a matter of surprise to learu that the cold-blooded aBsassination of Union citizens and soldiers has lieen included in their devlish scheme of operations. Green B. Smith states in his confession that "The secret assassination of United States officers, soldiers, and Government employes, has been discussed in the councils of the order and recommended." It Is also shown in the course of tho testimony that at a largo meeting of the Order, in St. Louis, in May or June last, it was proposed to form a secret police of members of the Ord^r, for the purpose of patroling the streets of that city at night and killing every detective and soldier that could be readily disposed of; that this proposition was coolly considered, and finally rejected — not because of its fiendish character, (no voice being raised against its criminality,) — but because only it was deemed premature. At Louisville, in June last, a similar scheme; was discussed among the Order for tho waylaying and butchering of negro soldiers in tho streets at night ; and in the same month, a party of its members, in that city, was actually organized for the purpose of throwing off the track of the Kashville llailroad a train of colored troops and seizing the opportunity to take the lives of as many as possible. Again, in July, tho assassination of an obnoxious Provost Marshal, by betraying him into thr hands of cuerrillas, was designed by members in the interior of Ken- tucky. Further at a meeting of the Grand Council of Indiana, at Indianapolis, on .lune 14th last, the murder of one Coffin, a Government detective, who, as it w.is supposed, had betrayed the Order, was deliberately discussed and fully determined upon. This fact is stated by Stidger in his report to Oenoral Carrington, of Juno ITth last, and is more fully set forth in his testimonj- upon the trial of Dodd. IIo deposes that at the meeting in question, Dodd himself volunteered to go to Hamilton, Ohio, where Cotiln was expected to be found, and there ''dispose of the latter." lie adds that prior to tho meeting, he himself conveyed from Judge Bullitt, at Louisville, to Bowles and Iiodd, at In- dianapolis, special instructions to have Coffin "put out of the way" — '•murdered" — "at all hazards." The opinion is .xpressed by ('(douel Sanderson, under date of Jnnu l'2th last, that "tho recent liumeroufl cold-blooded assassinations of military officers and unconditional Union men throughout the Military District of North Jlissouri, especially along the western border," is to be ascribed to the agency of the Order. The witness. Pitman, represents that it is "a part of the obligation or understanding of tbe Order" to kill officers and soldiers "whewcer it can be done by stealth, as well as loyal citizens, when considered important or inttueutial persons"; and she adds that, while at Mem- phis, during the past summer, she knew that men on piquet were secretly killed by members of the Order approaching them in disguise. In this connection may be re-called the wholesale assassination of Union soldiers by members of the Order and their confederates, at Charleston, Illinois, in March last, in regard to which — as a startling episode of tho rebellion — a full report was addressed from this office to tho President, under date of July 2Gth last. Tliis concerted inurderou.s assault upon a scattered body of men — mostly unarmed — apparently designed f r tho mere purpose of destroying as manj' lives of Union soldiers as possible — is a forcible illustration of tho utter malignity and depravity which characterize tlie members of this Order in their zeal to commend themselves as faithful allies to their fellow-con- spirators at the South. 11. Estab!ishmi-nl of a Xurtlncentern Confedci-acy. — In concluding this review of some of the princi- pal specilic purposes of the Ord^r, it remains only to remark upon a further design of many of its leading members, the accomplishment of which they are represeuted as having deeply at heart. Hating Now Kugland, aud jealous of her intluenco and resources, and claiming that the interests of the West and South— naturally connected as they are through the Mississippi Valley — are identical, and actuated further by au intensely revolutionary spirit, as well as an unbridled aud unjirinciple-d ambition, these men have made the establishment of a Western or Northwestern Confederacy, in alliance with the South, the grand aim aud end of all their plotting and conspiring. It is with this steadily in pro.ip-ct that they are constantly seeking to produce discontent, disorganization, and civil disorder at the North. With this view, they gloat over every reverse of the armies of the Union, and desire that the rebellion shall be protracted until the resources of the Government shall be exhausted, its strength paralyzed, its currency hopelessly depreciated, and confidence every- where destroyed. Then, from the anarchy which — under their sch"me — is to ensue, the new Con- federacy is to arise, which is either to unite itself with that of the South, or to form therewith a close and permanent alliance. I'utile and cxtravageut as this schem-.' may appear, it is yet the set- tled purpose of many leading spirits of tho secret conspiracy, aud is their favorite subject of thought and discussion. Not only is this sclieme deliberated upon in the lodges of the onler, but it is openly proclaimed. Members of the Indiana Legislature, even, have publicly announced it, and avowed that they will take their own State out of the Union, aud recognize tho independence of the South. A citiz"n, captured by a guerilla band in Kentucky, last summer, ri'cords the fact that tho estad- lishment of a uew confederacy as the deliberate purpose of the Western people was boastfully as- serted by these outlaws, who also assured their prisoner that in the event of such establishment there would be a greater rebellion than ever ! " Lastly, it is claimed that the new confederacy is already organized; that it has a " provisional government," officers, departments, bureaus, &c., in secret operation. No comment is necessary to be made upon this treason, not now contemplated for the first time In our history. Suggested by the present rebellion, it is the logical consequence of the ardent and utter sympathy therewith which is the life and inspiration of the secret order. VIII.— THE WITNESSES AND TUEIK TESTIMONY. The facts detailed in tho present report have been derived from a great variety of dissimilar sources, but all the witnesses, however different their situations, concur so pointedly in their testi- mony, that the evidence which has been furnished of the facts must be regarded as of tho most re- liable character. The principal witnesses may be classiflcd as follows : STATISTICS AND DOCUMENTS. 371 1. Shrewd, intelligent meu, employed a3 detectives, and with a peculiar talent for their callin,<», ■who have gradually gained the confidence of leading members of the order, and in some cases liavn been admitted to its temples and been initiated into one or more of the degrees. — The most remark- able of these is Stidger, formerly a private soldier in our army, wlio, by the use of an uncommon address, though at great personal risk, succeeded in establishing siicli intimate r<>lation» with Bowles, Bullitt, Dodd, and other leaders of the order in Indiana and Kentucky, as to be appointed - iu lue pieseucB ui i.uc „tt„r and wide-suroad nrofl gacy, personal anil political, which we cannot but be amazed at the utter dna wine spreau [mi.. „ •'''„„.,„„,, :„ »),,.„ ofier rastin" these movements against the Government disclose.

So fiercely intolerant and imperious was the temper engendered by slavery th»t when the Southern people, after having controlled the National councils for half a century^ 'wer« th^!? at an election, the.r eaders turned upon the Government with the insolent fury wUh whLh they would have drawn their revolvers on a rebellious slave in one of their negro quaTers and they have continued since to prosecute their warfare amid all the barbarisms and ati^ocities natm- ally and necessarily inspired by the infernal institution in whose interests they are sacrificins anil; themselves and their country Slany of these conspirators, as is well know-n were Ved clothed and educated a the expense of the Nation, and were loaded with its honors at the very moment they 8 ruck a its life with the horrible criminality of a son stabbing the boson of his ownTo^her while impressing kisses on his cheeks. The leaders of the traitors in the loyal States who s^ com pletely fraternize with these conspirators, and whose machinations are now unmasked it U as clearTv the duty of the Administration to prosecute and punish, as it is its duty to subjugate the rebes who are openly in arms against the Government. In the performance of this d, tTit is entjued ll expect, and will doubtless receive, the zealous co-operation of true men everywhere who ?d crush ing the truculent foe ambushed in the haunts of this secret Order, should rival in eoir^ge'and faith, fulness the armies which are so nobly sustaining our flag on the battle fields of "he South Respectfully submitted, J.
