Publisher OCT iO mi 1861—1921. SIXTY YEARS AFTER SUMTER. 'ONE COUNTRY, ONE LANGUAGE AND ONE FLAG.' (Ritual of the Grand Army of the Republic^ as established by the National Encampment^ Indianapolis^ Indiana^ September 2J, jg20.) THE AMERICAN CREED. By WILLIAM TYLER PAGE. BELIEVE in the United States of America as a Govern- ment of the people, by the people, for the people ; whose jnst powers are derived from the consent of the governed ; a de- mocracy in a republic ; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states ; a perfect Union, one and inseparable ; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes. I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it, to support its Constitution, to obey its laws, to respect its flag and to defend it against all enemies.

Glad robins sinoing in the bouglis, Low ninrnuiv of the bees, A hill-side burving groand closed round With wilding apple-trees: The snowy flowers drift sotth' down Upon the quiet graves, And in tlie south wind over one, A small flag gently waves. Those floating colois make for me That grassy mound a shrine. What though the o^ie who sleeps beneath Knew nauglit of me or mine? Yet that brave life, quenched long ago, Seems of my own a part : For he who dies for freedom, lives In every freeman's heart. Harper s Bazar, May 2S, iS(p OUE SOLDIERS AND SAILORS. "To New Hampshire men the whole nation is a sepulchre, tor their blood lias watered tlie soil of everj- state but their own, and their dust is moulderiuo- by every i>'reat river and in every mountain pass from Maine to Georjiia— fiom the Charles to the Kio Grande and the Red Biver of the North. They died before Wai-ren at Bun- ker Hill, before Washington at Yorktown, under the eye of Jackson at New Orleans; they were thrown in their hammock-shroud from the ])loody deckof PaulJones, and Law]-euce, and Decatur, and Farragut : they mai-ched witli .Slierman, they charged with Sheridan, they conquered with Thomas, tliey fought it out on his own line with Gi-ant. But no soldier of my native state ever fell on liis own soil, or was l)uried in his dear native earth, unless the restless oceau cast his body on its narrow sea coast, or the love and care of parent, or brother, or child, restored to their sorrow aud pride the corpse that had fallen a thousand miles from liome." Hon. F. B. Sanborn, of Concord, Mass.., in the A£assac/ius('tts Legislature, March 14, iSSg.

"We gave in our paper last Aveek a short obituary of this venerable citizen, who dietl in this city on the 2r,th of December [18.")()], in his !)lst year. Mr. Fishley possessed to the last years of his life, most of his faculties to a re- markable degree. For many years he has on public occasions appeared con- spicuously in the processions, in a cocked- hat which almost vied in years with the wearer. He was born on the 17th day of June, 17G0. At the age of seventeen he en- tered the continental army under Cen. Poor and Col. Dearborn, in the course of the three years of his service he was at the battle of Monmouth [June 28, 1778], (in which action General Washing- ton commanded the American and Str Henry Clinton the British forces^ at the execution of Major Andre [October 2, 1780], and in the various positions the army occupied at that time. As an in- stance of revolutionary service, he related that just seventy-three years ago last Tuesday [December ol, 1777], he marched with his companions in arms, several miles, in the vicinity of Valley Forge, without shoes or stockings. After leaving the land service, he em- barked in a privateer on the ocean — was captured, and held as a prisoner at Hali- fax. His after life was spent mostly in trad- ing — for many years he had command of a coaster between Portsmouth and Bos- ton — and when by the just provision of a grateful country pensions w^ere granted to the soldiers of the Kevolution, he be- came a recipient of that bounty, and was enabled thereby to descend in comfort to the grave. In political feelings he was strongly Whig — so much so that when President Polk visited Portsmouth a few years since, he said he declined at first shaking hands with liim, because he had no po- litical sympathies with him. In 1840, when the great gathering of the Whigs of Xew Ham]ishire was made at Con- cord, a company of about .30(i citizens went from Portsmouth. As an emblem of Commerce, a miniature ship was rigged, and was drawn from our wharves to tlie political capital of the State. The commander of this vessel, which will be long remembered, Avas Capt. Fishley. In 184;! he celebrated his birthday, the 17th of June, in the great meeting on Bunker Hill [held to celebrate the com- pletion of the monument erected in com- memoration of the battle fought there sixty-eight years before]. He was among those few Kevolutionary sohliers who were companions on that occasion. Incorporated in his very existence was the spirit of ■7 years. Mustered out June 21, istir)."

In July, lsG2, he was promoted to Lieu- tenant Colonel ; in March, ISO."), he was brevetted Colonel, and in April, 18()."), Brig- adier General, for meritorious service. "With characteristic modesty, however, he preferred the lesser title of Colonel, for it was in that rank that he did actual service. After the rebellion he served for two years on the staft' of (iov. Fenton, of New York, and in that capacity was stationed at Washington in charge of the adjust- ment of the war accounts between that state and the general government. In all this long and responsible service his pa- triotism and his integrity won the recgo- nition of his superiors, and no accusa- tion of personal interest or profit was •ever laid at his doors. At the conclusion of this duty he went to Brooklyn, N.

He was (rovernor of Xew Hampshire from June is.">;i to June isci, including the first months of the AVar of the Rebellion." t^tone. "The death of Ex-Governor Ichabod Goodwin occurred at his residence on Is- lington street, on the evening of July 4th []SS2], at S.4.". o'clock, and vpas not whol- ly unexpected, as he had l)een confined to his bed and in a precarious condition for several weeks past. Ex-(iovernor Goodwin was born in North Berwick, ;Me., October 17'.»4, and was the eldest son ol Samuel Goodwin. At the age of fourteen he entered the counting room of Samuel Lord, Esq., merchant, of this city, and in 1S17 went to sea as supercargo of ship Elizabeth AVilson, in the employment of J. P. and Samuel Lord. Not many months after he sailed as master and supercargo of one of the ships of this firm and became inter- ested with them in the vessels he com- manded. In 1S.H2 he engaged in an exteu sive mercantile business in connection witli Samuel E. Cones, Esq., in this city, and never thereafter went to sea. He repiesented this city in the New Hampshire Legislature in is;5,s,48,44,.")0, .")4, and ''>>'>, and was a member of the Constitutional Convention in ls,")() and !s7(i. He was first President of tlie East- ern Kailroad Company in New Hampshire, and held the office for twenty years. In 1S47 he was elected President of the Port- land, Saco and Portsmouth Kailroad Com- pany, which oflicc he held for a long term of years, until 1S71, we think. He was also first President of the Portsmouth Steam Factory, in whose success he al- ways manifested the liveliest interest. In is,j7 the degree of master of arts was conferred on him by Dartmouth col- lege. In March 1851) Mr. Goodwin was elected ( iovernor of New Hampshire, and was re- elected in isco, his terra of office extending to June r)th, isc.i, covering the breaking- out of the rel)ellion and the raising of the first tw o regiments of volunteer infantry from this State. This was a most trying period in the history of New Hampshire, and nobly and pntriotically did the (tov- ei'nor meet the emergency. The people everywhere had confidence in his wis- dom and financial skill, and wlien he is- sued a call for men and money for the war, they responded promptly. There Then being no funds in the treasury aside from what was required to meet the or- dinary expenses of the state, and the crisis demanding that the quota of men called for by the President, from New Hampshire, should be raised and made ready for the field without delay, he per- sonally appealed to the banking institu- tions and private individuals of the State for assistance, and they promptly placed at liis disposal six hundred and eighty thousand dollars. To call an extra sesion of the Legisla- ture would involve not only delay but ex- pense, and (xovernor Goodwin, with the advice of his council, assumed the entire responsibility as commander-in-chief of the militia to act without special legisla- tive authority. The result of his work became, as we all know, a vital part of our State's history. On the assembling of the Legislature in June, (iov. (ioodwin plainly and concisely stated the position he assumed and the motives which act- uated him. The JiCgislature at once en- dorsed all his acts by unanimously pass- ing the enabling act, relieving the Gov- ernor of his heavy responsiblity. His administration of State allairs for two years met with almost universal approv- al, and he left the oftice with the highest respect of all parties. Because of an earnest desire to retire from the active duties of life, ex Governor (xoodwin had been gradually withdrawing from official positions, but at the time of his death he was President of the follow- ing organizations : — Eirst National Bank, Piscataqna Savings Bank, Portsmouth C^as Company. Portsmouth Bridge Com- pany, and Portsmouth Howard Benevo- lent Society, which oflices he held with ability. As a member of the I>egislature and of the Constitutional Convention he took a leading part on committees and in debate. His speeches were never made for show : he spoke only when there seemed to be occasion for it, and then always U> the point, and \\ as listened to with great re- spect and attention, for his conservatism and practical wisdom in all matters of public policy were well-known. In 1827 he married Sarah Parker Pice, daughter of AVilliam l!ice, Esq., a wealthy merchant in this city, by whom he had seven children ; his wife, one son and two daughters surviving him. His last appearance before the public was on the evening of Memorial day. May oU, 1882, in Music Hall, at which (as in all the years since that day was set apart for remembering the dead heroes of the late war) the ex-Governor presided, and as usual gave an address full of patriotic sentiment. His remarks on that occasion were particularly choice and delivered with unusual force. Without neglecting any private duty, he yielded to frequent calls upon his time and services for the public weal, and in everything promotive of the prosperity of his country, state and city, he ever manifested an earnest interest, and every good work found in him an earnest friend I and helper. He was charitable, but his charities i were not bestowed 'to be seen of men." -9 Very many in this city who have been the recipients of his bounty will miss and mourn a t.yrapathetic friend indeed. In theological opinion he was a Unitarian of the highest type of the Channing ^ school, and was a devoted member of the 1 Stone church in this city. Ills social life was consistent with the faith he profess- ed, and alike in official or unofficial po- sitions, his influence was hoilpful to pub- lic and private morality. Truly a good man has gone and 'his works follow him." What more fitting time for a noble heart- ed patriot to breathe his last than on the evening of the anniversary of his nation's birthday !

He died in Ports- mouth, January 18, 1S37. When Lafayette visited Portsmouth, Wednesday, Septem])er 1, 1S24, and was given a public reception in Franklin Hall, at least thirty soldiers of the Revolution, who had served under him, and many of whom had come from a great distance for the purpose of seeing him, were presents Among those who pressed forward to shake hands with the illustrious visitor was Thomas Harvey. While retaining the General's hand the veteran asked him if he remembered who carried him ort" the field severely wounded at the battle of l^>randywine? "I do,'" instantly replied the General — "It was a New Hampshire soldier named Thomas Harvey, who rendered me that gallant service." "^es," said the soldier, "Itwas Thomas Harvey, and — with a military salute — I am the man." The General recognized his friend of the battle-field, and manifested great pleasure at meeting him again after the lapse of so many eventful years, and greeted him with a cordiality and a 33 warmth of mannei- hisjhly gratifying to the patriot soldier. A newspaper of the time says : "Our old friend Thomas Hai'vey found it difli- cult to restrain himself; the sight of I^afayette recalled all the scenes of the Hevolution and well nigh overcame him." Harvey Avas always very patriotic and could ill brook a Tory, as was a citizen of Portsmouth, whose hired man he was for a time. The story is told, that one morning' he was with him at the old Spring Market, with his basket, when Governor Langdon came in with his hired man and basket. Mr. Harvey's employer said to him — "Why can I not have my shoes shine like Governor Langdon's?" The reply was — "Because he is a gentleman!" — "And am I not a gentle- man?"— The answer was — "Xo I" — with a capital N so forcibly given, that a sympathizing citizen, standing near, put half a dollar in Harvey's hand. In his later years Harvey was not over- burdened with this world's goods, and was bent nearly double, but he received a small pension, and was always hapoy and contented, and quick witted also, as the following incident will show. The Benevolent Society of the then town of Portsmouth had a committee ap- pointed to visit the poor one hard win- ter to ascertain tlieir wants. Among others Mr. Harvey was visited, and the gentleman apologized for his visit, by saying — "Vou look very com- fortable here, I am a sort of a spy go- ing around" — Harvey interrupted him ex- citedly by saying, — "I don't like spies, we hung one (Andre) in the Army, and a handsome man he was too 1 A good deal better looking than you are I" Haselton, Geo.

"On the 28th of September, 17!I7, died Dr. Hall Jackson, after a short illness, in the fifty-eighth year of his age. In vis- iting some patients, his sulkey was over- set, whereby several ribs were fractured, and a fever ensued, .which terminated his life. Dr. Jackson was born in this town [See above], and received the'flrst rudi- ments of his education in the public schools here. He studied the theory of phj'sic and surgery, under the direction of his father, Doctor Clement Jackson. After completing his studies here, he went to London, and attended lectures in the public hospitals there, to perfect him- self in surgery. Upon his return to this country, he opened an apothecary's shop, but his practice as a physician soon be- came so extensive, that he was obliged to relinquish in a great measure, his bus- iness as a druggist, and attend almost entirely to his profession. As a physician, he was skilful; as a surgeon, eminent. No operation of im- portance was performed for many miles round, without consulting him, and sel- dom without his aid. He had great ex- perience in the small-pox ; and many hospitals, which were established for in- oculating with that discrder, were com- mitted to his care, and he was remarka- bly successful in conducting his patients safely through the disease. In the ob- stetric art he obtained high reputation, and was frequently applied to for advice and assistance in difficult cases, by per- sons who did not generally employ him. He frequently performed the operation of couching, and always with sitccess. Harvard College conferred on him the degree of Doctor of ^Medicine [17'.>;5] : and he was elected an honorary member of j the Massachusets Medical Society. He was Grand Master of the Free and Ac- cepted Masons in New Hampshire, at the ; time of his decease. His sprightly talents, lively imagination, and social habits, rendered him an agreeable companion ; facetious and pleasant in conversation, his friends enjoyed in his company 'the feast of reason," with the flow of wit; and the several societies of which he was a member, found their entertainment greatly heightened by his presence."

Jackson died at his resi- dence in Boston on the lOih April [18!I0], after a brief illness, at the age of 7."> years and months. He was a native of Ports- mouth and was the son of John H. Jack- son, who died before his birth while nobly fighting in the second war with Great Britain. His grandfather was a soldier in the Revolution, so that the gal- lant colonel inherited the martial spirit that early in life led him to join the militia and afterward made him the hero of two wars. He was commissioned April !), 1S47, as First Lieutenant iuthelith U. 8. Infantry, for service in the war with 3Iexico. Au- gust 2(ith of the same year he was brevet- ted Captain for gallantry in the battles of Contreras and Churubusco, and commis- sioned as Captain the following December. At the battle of ( 'hapultepec his bravery drew forth honorable mention from his superior officers, and there is no doubt that had the war lasted much longer he would have attained to very high rank. At this battle one of those fortunate occurrences of which we read so often, but which really occur so seldom, hap- pened to the Colonel. While gallantly leading his company in the magnificent charge which resulted in the capture of this hitherto regarded impregnable fort- ress, he felt himself struck full in the chest by a bullet, but as he found no wound, paid but slight attention to the circumstance until the battle was over, when upon investigation he found that his life had been saved by a pocket bible, the gift of his sister, which was pierced nearly through by a Mexican ballet. The Colonel was mustered out of the service with his regiment in August, 1848, went to California with the pioneers in 1S4'J, where he remained four years, re- turning east in 18.j;3, when he was ap- pointed an inspector in the Boston Custom House. He continued to serve in this position until the breaking out of the Rebellion, when he was offered and ac- cepted the commission of Lieutenant- Colonel of the ord N. H. Volunteers. The resignation of Col. Fellows promoted him to the command of the regiment June 27, 1802, and he led his men in all 3S their engagements until the storming of Jervig, Edward— 10th N- H. I ort A\ agner, where he received a severe ' wound, which incapacitated him from active duty and undoubtedly shortened his life. He was honorably discharged from the service, Feb. 24, 1804. In lS(i7 he was re-appointed to a lucrative and most important position in the Boston Custom House, and held the place until his decease. The following is an extract from a let- ter of Dec. ;). 1SS>,», from Col. John H. Jackson, dated Custom House, Boston, Mass. : 'My father's family came early to New York from Holland.

To those who knew him, his services, his suft'erings and his worth will ever render his memory dear. All who partake of the blessings secured by the enterprise and valor of our revolutionary heroes, cannot but feel an interest in the events of his life. At the commencement of the war of the Revolution, lie entered as a volunteer in one of the first regiments in Massa- chusetts, for the term of one year. At the expiration of that engagement, he entered on board a private armed ves- sel — was captured, carried to England and kept in close confinement at the Mill Prison for two years and a quarter, being encouraged with no other prospect than a .still protracted confinement, or a termi- nation of it by being hanged as a rebel. Thence he was sent to France in a car- tel, where on the 20th April, 1779, he en- tered on board the 'Bon Homme Richard,' under the celebrated John Paul Jones, and was with him in some of the most desperate enterprises, in which that com- mander was engaged. From that vessel he was put on board a prize and ordered for France. He was again captured and carried into Hull in the north of England, transported to Spithead, put on board the 'Unicorn' frigate and compelled to do duty until at the imminent hazard of his life he escaped in the Island of Jamaica. Thence he re- turned to America a little before the close of the war. After the peace of '83 he engaged in the merchant service and continued a repu- table shipmaster until near the commence- ment of the late war [1812-1.")], when he was appointed by governmeut to the command of a Revenue Cutter and con- tinued in the same to the close of the war. After that period, until his death, he was employed as Inspector of the Customs at this port. In all his various services, Capt. Kennard sustained the character of an honest man and a good citizen."

John Langdon was one of the most zealous and worthy patriots of the time, at work in season and out of sea- son, with mind, hands and means, in the cause of lil)erty. He was born in Ports- mouth, in 17-K) [See above], and was the son of John, and grandson of Tol)ias Langdon. He served an apprenticeship as a merchant in the couniing-roora of the Hon. Daniel Ringe [Rindge], but pre- ferring a sea-faring life, he went out as supercargo of one of Ringe's [Rindge"s] vessels and subsequently as master or captain. He continued in this business until the Revolution, and had amassed a handsome fortune for the time. The British cruisers stopping entirely his shipping and mercantile operations, and early espousing the patriot cause, he had inclination, le.-^iare and means to largely subserve the cause of inde- pendence. He was one of the leaders In taking Fort William and Mary [now Fort Con- stitution], at Newcastle, in December, 177-1, was a Delegate to the general con- gress in 177.")-r., raised an independent company of light infantry, wiih rank of Colonel, in June of the latter year, was judge of the court of common pleas in 177(;, speaker of the House of Represen- tatives in 177(;-7, in which last position, during a session of three days, to devise ways and means to check the haughty Burgoyne, he rose at his desk and made the noble, generous, apt and effective speech of the Revolution : — 'Gentlemen, I have three thousand dollars in hard money, thirty hogsheads of Tobago rum, worth as much, I can pledge my plate for as much more ; these are at the ser- vice of the State. With this money we can raise and provision troops, our friend John Stark will lead them. If we check Burgoyne, the State can repay me, and if we do not, the money will be of no use to me.' Raising the funds and Stark on his "way to Bennington, Langdon summoned his own company of infantry and fol- lowed to Bennington and Saratoga. Bur- goyne defeated, he returned home only to labor in the good cause, and early in 177S, as agent of Congress, built the Raleigh frigate. In this year, also, he mounted Lis company of infantry, equipped them as cavalry, and marched to the defense of Rhode Island. In 1771I he was President of the New Hampshire Convention, in 17so Commis- sioner of the United States, and in 1783 Delegate to the Congress of the same. In 1784-."), he was a member of the New Hampshire Senate, and in this last year was President of the State, elected as successor of Meshech Weare. In 1788 he was a mtmljer of the Convention that formed the C^onstitution of t^e I'nited States, was Speaker of the New Hampshire House of Representatives in June of the same year, and was again elected President of the State. In November of the same year [1788], he was elected to the United Stat' s Sen- ate, an 1 had the honor of being elected the first President /rt> tem. of that body, and in 17'.t4, he was reelected for another term.

He was elected a delegate to the (jontinental Con- gress in 177."), but resigned in Jime, 177<;, to become navy agent. In 1777, while he was speaker of the the New Hampshire assembly, when means were wanted to support a regiment, Langdon gave all his money, pledged his plate, and subscribed the proceeds of seventy hogsheads of tobacco [See above] for the purpose of equipping the brigade witli Avhich Gen. John Stark subsequent- ly defeated the Hessians at Bennington. Langdon participated in this battle, and 42 was in command of a volunteer company at Saratojia, and in Rhode Island. In 177',) he Avas Continental agent in New Hampshire, and president of the State convention. He Avas again a delegate to Congress in I7S;t, was repeatedly a member of the Legislature and its speaker, and in 1787 a delegate to the convention that framed the constitution of the United States. In March, 17s,s, he became Governor of New Hampshire, and in 17s;;i he was elected U. S. Senator, holding office till ISO], and was chosen president of the Senate in order that the electoral votes for President of the United States might be countfd [He thus officially announced the election of (Jt-orge Washington as the first President of the United States.] A president of the Senate had therefore a legal existence before there was either a president or a vice-president of the United States. He was a Republican in politics and acted with Jetterson, who, on assuming office in isui, ottered him the post of Secretary of the Navy, which he declined. From ISii.') till l.sl2, with the exception of two years, he was Governor of New Hampshire, and in ].si2 the IJepublican Congressional caucus off'ered him the nomination for the oflice of Vice-Presi- dent of the United States, which he de- clined on the score of age and infirmities, passing the remainder of his life in re- tirement."

"Piei'se Long (the father of Col. Pierse Long of Revolutionary memory) was born in Limerick, Ireland, about the com- mencement of the eighteenth ceutury, and served an apprenticeship with one who did business with America; aud by him was sent out with goods, the manufac- ture of Ireland, to this town, in the year 1730." Hero he settled, married, and had three children ; one son, and two daugh- ters ; the latter died unmarried. "Pierse Long, the simior, died in 1740." "Pierse Long, Jr. (afterwards Col. Long), was born in I73i>. He received instruction in the elements of education from the celebrated teacher, Samuel Hale. At the age of fourteen, Pierse was apprenticed as a clerk to Robert Tiail [Traill], an emigrant from Scot- land, and a distinguished merchant of Portsmouth. At the close of his appren- ticeship, Pierse Lon» was established in business by Mr. Trail [Traill],, as a shipping merchant, which he continued to prosecute with success until the war of the Revolution. In this* Mr. Long took an early and de- cided part, and in 1775 was chosen one of the delegates to the first provincial Con- gress, convened at Exeter. In this office he continued for some time, acting also about this period as one of the Commit- tee of Safety for Portsmouth, and was en- gaged with Langdon, Pickering, Drown, and about forty other citizens, in surpris- ing aud capturing the fort at the mouth of Portsmouth harbor. Pierse I ong continued to fill difi"erent offices under the then province and town until May, 177(), when the provincial Leg- islature appointed him to the command of the First Xew Hampshire regiment. . . . This regiment continued in the serviceof the Province until July 15, 177('.. when, it being determined by the general government to receive into tlie service no more provincial troops, it was disbanded, but immediately reenlisted into the Con- tinental service, under Pierse Long as Colonel and commander. This regiment continued to be stationed at the forts around Portsmouth harbor (a company in Portsmouth being sta- tioned near the Old South) until October [November 23], 177(1, when it received orders to march to the Canada border, near Lake Champlaiu [to reinforce the army at Ticonderoga, and marched for I that post in February following]. 44 It reached there safely in about twenty clays; and reporting for duty to Gen. St. Clair, Col. Long was assigned to the command of Fort Independence, across the Lake, with his OAvn and Col. Carle- ton's regiments ; and at the same time was made Brigadier (ieneral, by brevet. The lake being closed with ice during the latter part of the fall, the winter and part of the spring, nothing of note occurred until about the middle of June, 1777, when the English flotilla of many guns advancing by v\ater, to be joined l)y Gen. Burgoyne, with ten thousand English, Canadians, Tories, and Indians, by land, it was determined by Gen. Ht. Clair, in a council of otiicers, to abandon his position with his small army of three thousand men, and retreat with the American flotilla up through Lake George, towards Fort Edward. Col. Long was entrusttd with the com- mand of the flotilla, consisting of one schooner of sixteen guns, one of ten, and several smaller crafts, with orders to blow up the vessels to prevent their fall- ing into the hands of the enemy, — which was acconiplislud after they had disem- barked his own and Col. Carleton's regi- ment at Skenesborough. Leaving Skenesborough, the troops proceeded on towards Saratoga, and the next day (July G) Col. Long and his command was overtaken by the British ninth legiment, under the command of Col. Hayes. An action ensued, in which the British were beaten, aud retreating left the held in the possession of the Americans. At about this time, the period for which the troops had enlisted having expired, they all asked aud rtceived their dis- charge, otticers as well as men, except- ing Edward Evans, chaplain; Noah Emery, paymaster ; and Lieut, or Col. [Lieutenant] Meshach Bell, and ( ol. Long's servant, James MuUen. These, with Col. Long, continued on to Saratoga, and there volunteered their services to the commander-in-chief [Gen- eral Gates], and assisted in the capture of (ieneral Burgoyne and his army [who surrendered October ic, 1777]. Col. Long being ill, arrivtd in Ports- mouth, Dec. (! [1777] ; and continued con- fined to his house fur six months, with the disorder usual to camps ; nor did he entirely recover till a year had expired. As soon as he had sutliciently recovered his health he resumed his mercantile pur- suits, but at the same time suttered from attacks of the gout, and sometimes could not move without the aid of crutches. In 17S4 he was appointed by the State of New Hampshire a delegate to the old Congress, which post he filled through three or four successive years till 17S(> [1784-5 (;]. From the year 178G to 17M» [1788-1)— N. H. Manual.] he was elected State Senator or Councillor, and in 17ms was delegate to the Convention to adopt the present Constitution [of the United States], and gave his inflnence and vote for its reception by Ncav Hampshire. When Washington Avas chosen Bi-esi- dent, he appointed Col. Long Collector of the Customs at Portsmouth ; but before he had taken possession of his office, he Avas found dead in his bed. He retired in apparent health, but died without any previous warning, of (as it was supposed) gout in the stomach, at the early age of fifty, .\pril ;!, 17s'.i. His remains are in- terred m the lot in the Proprie.ors" bulg- ing ground, belonging to his son, at the western end of the granite monuments [monument]. Col.

John McClintnck was the son of the Kev. l^r. Samuel McClintock of Green- land, X. II , who was Chaplain in the army of the lievoliition, and was at the battle of Banker Hill. The patriotic clergyman may l^e seen represented in the engraving of the battle, in his ministerial bands, near the spot where Gen. Warren lies wounded [See below]." "John McClint ck, who was born on the 2t^th of August, 17, 1770.] He was in the New Hampshire line at the" battles before the capture of Burgoyne 47 on the 19th of September and the 7lh of October [1777]. After the capture, his regiment was ordered South. . . . He was then (altliough he had not readied I'l years of aae) raised to the rank of Major of the line, over all the older Cap- tains. As he was therefore i-egarded with jealousy by those lower than liim self in rank, he resigned his commission and returned lioiiie. He was induced to take tlie command of a company of ma- rines which went out in a sliip-of-war, the 'llileigh," and soon after perislied 1n an engagement. Another son of Dr. .McClintock was an ottieer at the battle of Trenton and there slain ; and a third was lost at sea, serving as a Midshipman, and afterwards as a Lieutenant, in a ship-of- war." Kev, Mr. iNEcClintock "was loved and esteemed by liis parish, and in the latter part of his life received the Diploma of Doctor of Divinity from Princeton Col- lege where he was educated." "History informs "S that during the battle of Bunker Hill" Kev. Samuel ^Ic- Cliutock "knelt on the field, with hands upraised, and grey head uncovered ; and, while the bullets whistled around him, prayed for the success of the compatriots, and the deliverance of his country. This rare incident prompted the fol- lowing beautiful ode from the pen of INIrs. Lydia H. Sigouruey." THE PRAYER ox BUNKER HILL.

At th?! battles of Fred- ericksburg, Suffolk, at Bermuda Hundred, the ten days light at Coal [Cold] Harbor, at the capture of Battery 5 in front of Petersburg, and many other engagements, the tall and conspicuous form of Charles ^y. Randall, could be seen at the right of the company ; and yet there were more jewels to be added to his crown of honor, for in the famous charge and capture of Fort Harrison on Sept 29. lS(i4, comrade Pandall bore his part of that terrible battle. On the day following the capture of the fort, and while the regiment was ly- ing behind shallow breastworks com- posed of two logs, from which the rebels had been repulsed by our scanty forces in three successive charges, he was struck by a bullet, which entered the body just back of, and below the risht arm, making a very bad wound, which was pronounced mortal. Notwithstand- ing his injury his courage never failed him, and he remarked to his comrade. First Sergeant B. F. Winn, that he wisht d for one more shot before leaving the field, he succeeded in loading and firing his rifle, and then made his way to the rear as best he could. His wound was probed for the bullet, but without success, and his condition was pronounc- ed hopeless.

Our comrade was a constant sufl'erer from the ettects of the rebel bullet which he carried for twenty-three years, and yet his spirit remained unbroken till the last, and when his brave soul left the poor shrunken body, encumbered with rebel lead, there passed away as brave a soldier as ever wore the blue.

H. "Late Henry L. Richai'ds. — It pains us to say that this noble hearted man is no more. At the commencement of the re- bellion he offered his services in defence of his country. Though possessing ster- ling ability, he sought no high position, but only that in which he was confident of being most useful. When* requested to take a commission, his reply was, 'No — I had rather be a good soldier than a poor officer.' When the company of Sharpshooters was forming at Concord, he went on foot to that place from Portsmouth, was ex- amined, accepted, and he returned home in the same way, to fit up for his depart- ure. After an absence with the army of fourteen months, in which time he was exposed in several engagements, he came home wounded in November [isi;2] last. As soon as his health would permit he again joined the army, on the Rappahan- nock, and on the 2d of July [1863], at the battle of Gettysburg, was severely wounded in his knee by a minnie ball. After remaining on the ground all night, he was taken up and carried to the hospi- tal, where amputation was performed, while under the influence of. chloroform, from the effects of which he did not revive. His age was 38 [39]. His remains will probably reach here in a; few days, and the performance of the last sad rites will SI bring feelings of lieartfelt sorrow to our whole community. And now, and in all future time, as those who knew him well pass under the shade which is just beginning to be made by the long range of trees in Auburn street, they will be reminded of the one who selected and with his OAvn hand placed them there to cheer the passage to the cemetery — and the name of the noble Richards will be as green in their memory as the leaves which every returning spring will renew." Portsmouth JournaJ, July i8, i86j. Soon after the death of Henry L. Rich- ards, the name of Auburn street was changed to Richards' avenue, in memory of him. -Ridge, Charles-2nd N. H.

She was command- ed by Captain Thompson, the officer who appears as sixth on the list, and sailed in company with the 'Alfred,' 2i, Captain Hinman. These two ships went to sea, short of men, bound to France, where military stores were in waiting to be transported to America. The 'Raleigh' and 'Alfred' had a good run oft' the coast, and they made several prizes of little value during the first few days of their passage. On the 2d of September they overtook and captured a snow, called the 'Xancy,' which had been left by the outward bound Windward Island fleet the previous day. xVscertain- iug from his prisoners .the position of the West Iiidiamen, Captain Thompson made sail in chase. The fleet was under the charge of the 'Camel', 'Druid,' 'AVea- sel,' and'Grasshopper,' the first of which is said to have had an armament of twelve pounders. Th3 following day, or September ;5d, 1777, the 'Raleigh' made the convoy from her mast-heads, and by sunset was near enough to ascertain that there were sixty sail, as well as the posi- tions of the men-of-war. Captain Thompson had got the signals of the fleet from his prize, and he now signalled the •Alfred,' as if belonging to the convoy. After dark he spoke his consort, and di- rected her commander to keep near him, it being his intention to run in among the enemy, and to lay the commodore aboard. At this time, the two American ships were to windward, but nearly astern. In the course of the night the wind shifted to the northward, and the convoy hauled by the wind, bringing the Ameri- can ships to leeward. At daylight the wind had freshened, and it became nec- essary to carry more sail than the 'Al- fred' (a tender-sided ship) could bear. Here occurred one of those instances of the unfortunate consequences which must always follow the employment of vessels of unequal qualities in the same squadron, or the employment of officers not trained in the same high school. The 'Alfred' would not bear her canvas, and while the 'Raleigh' fetched handsomely into the fleet, under double-reefed topsails, the former fell to leeward more than a league. Captain Thompson did not dare to short- en sail, lest his character might be sus- pected, and despairing of being supported by the 'Alfred.' he stood boldly in among the British ships alone, and hove-to his ship in order to permit the merchant- men astern to draw more ahead of him. Wh( n his plan was laid. Captain Thomp- son flUed away, and stood directly through the convoy, luffing up towards the vessel of war that was most to wind- ward. In doing this he spoke several of the merchantmeu, giving them orders how to steer, as if belonging him self to the fleet, and repeating all the commodore's signals. Up to this moment the 'Raleigh' appears to have escaped detection, nor had she any signs of preparation about her, as her guns were housed, and her ports lowered. Havina: obtained a weatherly position, the 'Raleigh' now ran along-side of the vessel-of-war, and when within pistol- shot, she hauled up her courses, run out her guns, set her ensign, and commanded the enemy to strike. So completely was this vessel taken by surprise, that the order threw her into grt at confusion, and even her sails got aback. The 'Raleigh' seized this favorable moment to pour in a broadside, which was feebly returned. The ent-'my were soon driven from their guns, and the 'Raleigh' fired tvvelve broadsides into the English ship in twenty minutes, scarcely receiving a shot in re- turn. A heavy swell rendered the aim uncertain, but it was evident that the British vessel suflered severely, and this the more so, as she was of inferior force. A squall had come on, and at first it shut in the two ships engaged. Wh-n it cleared away, the convoy was seen steer- ing in all directions, in the utmost con- fusion, but the vessels of war, with sev- eral heavy Avellarmed West Indiamen, tacked and hauled up for the 'Raleigh,' ; leaving no doubt of their intentions to j engage. The frigate lay by her adver- sary until the other vessels were so near, that it became absolutely necessary to quit her, and then she I'an to leeward and 1 joined the 'Alfred.' Here she shortened sail, and waited for the enemy to come down, but it being dark, the British com- modore tacked and hauled in among his convoy again. The 'Raleigh' and 'Alfred' kept near this fleet for several days, but no provocation could induce the vessels I of war to come out of it, and it was final- ly abandoned. The ship engaged by the 'Raleigh,' proved to be the 'Druid,' 20, Captain Car- teret. She was much cut up, and the I official report of her commander made her loss six killed and twenty-six wound- ; ed. Of the latter, five died soon after the action, and among the wounded was her commander. The 'Druid' was unable to pursue the voyage, and returned to England. In this affair. Captain Tliompson dis- covered a proper spirit, for he misht easily have cut out of the fleet half a dozen merchantmen, but he appears to have acted on the principle that vessels of war should flrst seek vessels of war. The 'Raleish' had three men killed and wounded in the engagement, but other- wise sustained little injury." Coopi'fs Xnvnl History.

"Whipple, William, signer of the Dec- laration of Independencd, born in Kit- tery, Maine, 1-1 January, 1730; died in Portsmouth, X. H , 28 November, 1785. His father, William, a native of Ipswich, Mass., was bred as a malster, but, re- moving to Kittery, engaged in a seafaring- life for several years. The son was edu- cated at a public school in his native town, and afterward became a sailor, having command of a vessel before he was twenty-one years of age. He en- gaged in the European, West India, and African trade, and brought large numbers of negro slaves to this country, but after- ward, during the IJev^olution, liberated those that belonged to him. In 17.3!) he abandoned the sea entirely and entered into business in Portsmouth with his brother Joseph, which connection lasted till about two years previous to the Rev- olution. At an early period of the contest be- tween the colonies and Great Britain he took a decided part in favor of the for- mer. He was elected a delegate from New Hampshire to the Continental Congress in 177.''», taking his seat in May, was re- elected, 28 January, 1776, took his seat on 2!i February following, and signed the Declaration of Independence in July. He was re-elected to Congress in 1778, and declined to be chosen again, but was a member of the state assembly in 1780-4. He was commissioned a Brigadier Gen- eral in 1777, commanded a brigade of Xew Hampshire troops at the battles of Saratoga and Stillwater, and, after the surrender of Burgoyne, signed the articles of capitulation with Col. James AVilkin- son on behalf of General Horatio Gates. General Wliipple was afterward selected as one of the officers under whose charge the British troops were conducted to their place of encampment on Winter Hill, near Boston. In 1778, he partici- pated in General Sullivan's expedition to Rhode Island, and he resigned his military appointment, 20 June, 1782. In 1780 he was appointed a commissioner of the board of admiralty, Avhich post he de- clined. He was state superintendent of finances in 17S2-1, appointed jud^e of the supreme court 20 June, 17S2, and justice of the peace and quorum throughout the s ate in December. 17S4 and acted in this capacity till his death." i Appletoiis Cyclopedia of America >i Biog- raphy.

Four hundred thousand of the brave Have made our ransomed soil their grave. For me and you I Good friend, for me and you ! In many a fevered swamp. By many a black bayou. In many a cold and frozen camp The weary sentinel ceased his tramp, And died for me and you I From Western plain to ocean tide Are stretched the graves of those who died For me and you ! Good friend, for me and you ! On many a bloody plain Their ready swords they drew. And poured their life-blood, like the rain, A home — a heritage to gain, To gain for me and you I Our brothers mustered by our side ; They marched, and fought, and bravely died. For me and you ! Good friend, for me and vou ! Up many a fortress wall They charged — those boys in blue — 'Mid surging smoke, and volleyed ball The bravest were the first to fall ! To fall for me and you ! These noble men — the nation's pride — Four hundred thousand men have died. For me and you I Good friend, for me and you ! In treason's prison-hold Their martyr spirits grew To stature like the saints of old ; While, amid agonies untold. They starved for me and you I The good, the patient, and the tried. Four hundred thousand men ha\c died. For me and you ! Good friend, for me and \o\x ! A debt we ne'er can pay To them is justly due ; And to the nation's latest day Our children's children still shall say, "They died for me and you I" Four hundred thousand of the brave Made this our ransomed soil their grave.

For me and you I Good friend, for me and ^ou ! In many a fevered swamp, By many a black bayou, In many a cold and frozen camp The weary sentinel ceased his tramp, And died for me and you ! From Western plain to ocean tide Are stretched the graves of those who died For me and you ! Good friend, for me and you ! On many a bloody plain Their ready swords they drew, And poured their life-blood, like the rain. A home — a heritage to gain. To gain for me and you ! Our brothers mustered by our side ; They marched, and fought, and bravely died, For me and you ! Good friend, for me and vou ! In treason's prison-hold Their martyr spirits grew To stature like the saints of old ; While, amid agonies untold. They starved for me and you ! The good, the patient, and the tried, Four hundred thousand men have died. For me and you ! Good friend, for me and you ! A debt we ne'er can pay To them is justly due; And to the nation's latest day Our children's children still shall say, "They died for me and you !" Four hundred thousand of the brave Made this our ransomed soil their grave. For me and you ! Good friend, for me and you ! — From the Round Table. 13 GEORGE WASHINGTON STORER, Rear Admiral, U. S. Navy. 1789-1864 It is related in Brewster's "Rambles about Portsmouth," ist series, pages 254 and 266, that during Washington's visit to Portsmouth in 1789, he called Tuesday forenoon, 3rd November, on Mrs. Tobias Lear, the mother of his private secretary, Col. Tobias Lear, then living near the east end of Hunking street, and "in the south- west parlor he was introduced to and cordially greeted every member of the family — the venerable mother, her children, and her grandchildren." With the other grandchildren a babe was presented, son of Samuel Storer, a dry goods merchant of Portsmouth, then residing in the same house, "who had been christened 'George Washington'. The President places his hand gently upon the in- fant's head, and expresses the wish that he may 'be a better man than the one whose name he bears' ". As the name of this child— Rear Admiral George Washington Storer, U. S. Navv— is proudly borne by Storer Post, it is particularly worthy of remembrance that he is one of the very few men of whom it could be said "that they have thus been under the hand and received the personal blessing of our country's father." j Navy Department, 1 Washington, D.

"Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle- field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting- place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate — we cannot consecrate — we cannot hallow — this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us — that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion — that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain — that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom — and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth." {Appletoii'a Cyclopedia of Amoicaii Biography.^ OUR SOLDIERS AND SAILORS. "To New Hampshire men the whole nation is a sepulchre, for their blood has watered the soil of every state but their own, and their dust is mouldering by every great river and in every mountain pass from Maine to Georgia — from the Charles to the Rio Grande and the Red River of the North. They died before Warren at Bunker Hill, before Washington at Yorktown, under the eye of Jackson at New Orleans; they were thrown in their hammock-shroud from the bloody deck of Paul Jones, and Lawrence, and Decatur, and Farragut ; they marched with Sherman, they charged with Sheridan, they conquered with Thomas, they fought it out on his own line with Grant. But no soldier of my native state ever fell on his own soil, or was buried in his dear native earth, unless the restless ocean cast his body on its narrow sea coast, or the love and care of parent, or brother, or child, restored to their sorrow and pride the corpse that had fallen a thousand miles from home." {Hon.

He was pensioned as "Jacob Walden, Mariner, Ship Ranger". (Pension List. Act of March iS, 181S, Re- port Secretary of War, Washington, 1820.) THE "RANGER." The Continental ship "Ranger," first called the "Hampshire," but named the "Ranger" by Congress June 14, 1777, when Captain John Paul Jones was appointed to the command, was built by Captain Tobias Lear of Portsmouth (Grandfather of Rear Admiral George W. Storer, U. S. Navy), at the Continental Shipyard, Langdon's (now 44 Badger's) Island, in the Piscataqua river, opposite Portsmouth, N. H., in 1777; Col. John Langdon, Continental Agent.

First Lieutenant Simpson took command of the "Ranger" by authority of the American Commissioners in France, and August 21 she sailed for America, arriving in the Piscataqua, Oct. 16, 1778. She afterwards made several cruises on the coast ; continuing under the com- mand of Captain Simpson, until captured. The "Ranger" was taken by the British at the surrender of Charle.«iton, S.

Paul Jones ; a Merchant : a Representative, Senator and Councillor of this State ; as Naval Officer ; Member of this Church, and in his other relations, he sustained the character of a Patriot and an upright Man." {^Tablet, St. John'' a C/tiirr//. Portsmouth.') '•Died. In this town, on Tuesday last [June 22, 1830], Hon. Elijah Hall, aged 87. Capt. Hall was Lieutenant in the Navy iu the Revolutionary War, sailed under John Paul Jones in the 'Ranger'; was many years Counsellor from this district; and for several years prior to his death was Naval Officer of the District of Portsmouth. "He was, iu private life, an estimable citizen, a fair merchant, a tender parent, and an honest man." {;' Portsmouth JoHDial" JiDie 26, iSjo.) "Lieut. Elijah Hall was born Dec. 9, 1742, at Raynham, Mass., son of Phillip and Huldah (Leonard) Hall ; he went to Portsmouth, N. H., when young, was a ship builder and merchant, married Elizabeth, daughter of Col. James Stoodley, of Ports- mouth. He remained on the 'Ranger' until she was destroyed [taken by the British], was captured and paroled, but not exchanged until the end of the war. Was commis- sioned Naval Officer, Jan. 28, 1818, of the port here [Portsmouth, N. H.] and held it until his death, which occurred June 22, 1830, at Portsmouth." {'^Rcmi'ck", page 214. ) Lieut. Hall returned to America in the "Ranger", occupying the post of First Lieutenant under Captain Simpson, and continued in that position until the ship was captured. In 1829 Lieut. Hall wrote : — "I served my Country faithfully during the whole Revolutionary War, and part of the time with the gallant Paul Jones as his First Lieutenant, and was in several desperate battles; I commanded a Marine Battery during the siege of Charleston [S. C] and there lost the sight of my left eye by the bursting of a shell, and have never asked my Country for a pension. During the last War [1812-1815] I lost my only three sons in battle [Leonard, James and Ashton S. Hall], all of whom were officers, while defending their Country's flag ; the youngest [Ashton S. Hall, Midshipman, U. S. Nav}] was in the 'Wasp', Capt. Blakely, in the action and capture of the 'Reindeer', and for his gallantry Congress voted him a sword." {Extracts from an unpublished letter zvritten by Lieut. Elijah Hall iu i82g.) 46 Mr. John H. Sherburne, author of "Sherburne's Life of Paul Jones," Washington, 1825, and New York, 185 1, in which a good notice of Lieut. EHjah Hall appeared (re- printed from the 1825 edition in "The Graves We Decorate," 1S93, pages 73-74), was his son-in-law. An interesting account of the cruise of the "Ranger" under John Paul Jones was printed in the "N. E. H. G. Register," Vol. XXIX, pages 13 and 170. Hon. Elijah Hall long resided and died in the house Nos. 36 and 38 old numbers, Daniel Street, Portsmouth. SAMUEL HOLBROOK. "Deaths. In this town [Portsmouth, N. H., September 15. 1S36], Mr. Samuel Holbrook, aged 76 L79]> a Soldier of the Revolution. Mr. H. took up arms in defence of his country, at the first roll of the drum. He was with Washington at Cambridge during the operations of the American Army against the British in Boston. He left the Army soon after and enrolled himself with the gallant John Paul Jones- He was stationed with three others in the main-top of the Bonne Homme Richard ['Bon Homme Richard'] during the severe action with the Scrapis-, and was the only one ot the four who escaped from that tremendous struggle." {Ne7v Hampshire (iazette, September 30, jSjb.) The name of Samuel Holbrook does not appear on the "Roll of the Officers, Sea- men, Marines, and Volunteers, who served on board the 'Bon Homme Richard', com- manded by Commodore John Paul Jones, in her cruize made in 1779", printed in "Sherburne's Life of John Paul Jones", ist Edition, Washington, 1825, and 2nd Edit- ion, New York, 1851 ; in the list printed in "Buell's Paul Jones", New York, 1900, Vol. II; nor in that printed in "The Logs of the Serapis-Alliance-Ariel", Naval His- tory Society's Publications, Vol. I, New York. 191 1 ;— but does appear on the "Roll of the Ranger" and "Roster of the Ranger" printed above ;— and it therefore seems evident that the notice in the "New Hampshire Gazette", stating that he served on the "Bon Homme Richard", is incorrect. He was pensioned as "Samuel Holbrook, Sea- man. Ship Ranger" (Pension List, 1S20. ) Thomas Simpson, of Portsmouth, N. H., First Lieutenant of the "Ranger", un- der Paul Jones, succeeded him in command of that vessel at Brest, France, July 27, 1778, and remained in command until her capture at Charleston, S. C, May 1780. He afterwards commanded the privateer ship "Alexander" of Portsmouth. After the war "he was master of the ship 'Ceres', and died on the homeward passage from Mar- tinico, West Indies, Feb. 18, 1784". He was "buried at Portsmouth, N. H., March 16, 1784", hut there is no stone in any Portsmouth cemetery to mark the spot. (See Notes and Qiieries, "Boston Transcript", Feb. 25 and May 24, 1905.)

To those who knew him, his services, his sufferings and his worth will ever render his memory dear. All who partake of the blessings secured by the enterprise and valor of our Revolutionary heroes, cannot but feel an interest in the events of his life. At the commencement of the war of the Revolution, he entered as a volunteer in one of the first regiments in Massachusetts, for the term of one year. At the expiration of that engagement, he entered on board a private armed vessel — was captured, carried to England and kept in close confinement at the Mill Prison for two years and a quarter, being encouraged with no other prospect than a still pro- tracted confinement, or a termination of it by being hanged as a rebel. Thence he was sent to France in a cartel, where on the 20th April, [779, he en- tered on board the 'Bon Homme Richard,' under the celebrated John Paul Jones, and was with him in some of the most desperate enterprises, in which that Commander was engaged. From that vessel he was put on board a prize and ordered for France. He was again captured and carried into Hull in the north of England, transported to Spithead, put on board the 'Unicorn' frigate and compelled to do duty until at the imminent hazard of his life he escaped in the Island of Jamaica. Thence he returned to America a little before the close of the war. After the peace of '83 he engaged in the merchant service and continued a repu- table shipmaster until near the commencement of the late war [1812-15], when he was appointed by government to the command of a Revenue Cutter and continued in the same to the close of the war. After that period, until his death, he was employed as Inspector of the Customs at this port. In all his various services, Capt. Kennard sustained the character of an honest man and a good citizen."

C, from November 21, 1862, to December 5, 1862. On the muster rolls of General Hospital, Fairfax Seminary, Virginia, for November and December, 1862, January and February, and March and April, 1863, she is reported present, attached to hospital November 22, 1862, as a female nurse. The roll for May and June, 1863, reports her discharged May 19, 1863. The muster roll of Finley Gen- eral Hospital, District of Columbia, for March and April, 1865, reports M. A.

The muster roll of Hare- wood General Hospital, District of Columbia, dated June 30, 1865, reports her present, attached to hospital June y, 1865, as a female nurse." (Records Adjutant GeneraVs. Office, U. S. Army, Washittgton, D. C.) Mary Appleton Foster was born in Portsmouth, N. H., Februar\' 26, 1829, and was baptized by Dr. Nathan Parker, of the South (Unitarian) Church. Portsmouth, May 17, 1829, She was the daughter of John Welsh Foster. 1789-1852, and Mary (Appleton) Fos- ter; and sister of Joseph Hiller Foster, 1825-18S5, and of Miss Sarah Haven Foster, 1S27-1900, author of the "Portsmouth Guide Book," and of the poem, "Not Long Ago," printed on pages 73-74. — all well known citizens of Portsmouth. "John Welsh Foster (James, Nathan, Joseph, Jacob, Reginald)," — a descendant of Reginald Foster who came from England to Ipswich, Mass., in 1638 ; and a son of James Foster, born Ipswich, Mass., December 18, 1747, married Elizabeth Hiller, and died, a resident of Boston, Mass., in 1793 — was "born June 6, 1789, married August 31, 1824, in Portsmouth, N. H., Mary Appleton, born in 1789 [1799], in Boston, daugh- ter of Dr. Nathaniel Walker Appleton (Nathaniel, Nathaniel, John, John, Samuel) and Sarah, daughter of William Greenleaf, of Boston (as stated in the "Genealogy of the Appleton Family ;" W. S. Appleton, Boston, 1874, page 22.) "Mrs. Foster's great grandfather was Rev. Dr. Nathaniel Appleton, of Cambridge, in honor of whom the Appleton Chapel at Harvard University was named, and Dr. Appleton's grandfather was President John Rogers of Harvard." "John Welsh Foster, after his father's death, in 1793, lived for nine years with his uncle, Joseph Hiller, then Collector of the port of Salem. He settled in Portsmouth, N. H., in 1812, and in 1819 was chosen Deacon of the Unitarian Church ; he held that position, and was one of the Superintendents of the Sunday School as long as he lived. 67 "A memorial of John W. Foster, edited by Andrew P. Peabody, D. D., pastor of the church, was published in Portsmouth, in 1852. He died January 10, 1852, in Portsmouth. [Mrs. Foster died in November, 1879, in Portsmouth, age 80.]" (Pierce's ^^ Foster Genealogy" Chicago, i8gg, page 30J.) Miss Mary A. Foster was Treasurer of the "Ladies' Soldiers' Aid Society," of Portsmouth, in the summer of 1S62 ; and in November of that year volunteered as an Army Nurse. She was attached to Epiphany General Hospital, Washington, D. C, November 21, 1862 ; and to the General Hospital, Fairfax Seminary, Virginia, November 22, 1862, to May 19, 1863 ; the Finley General Hospital, District of Columbia, in April 1865 ; and the Harewood General Hospital, District of Columbia, in June 1865 ; as shown by the Hospital Muster Rolls. A sketch of Miss Mary A. Foster's experience as an Army Nurse, written by her when about eighty years of age, for a Club in which she was interested, gives further particulars of her service. Her niece. Miss Margaret Foster, of San Rafael, California, has her War Diary. Miss Foster left Portsmouth, Sept. 5, 1862, for Washington ; and staying there with some friends, at first joined a hospital established in a church on "H" street, passing the days there only. After a short time she fell ill, and was obliged to leave for two or three weeks ; and not long after, that hospital was closed. On recovery, she sought and obtained an appointment as an Army Nurse from Miss Dorothea L. Dix, and was sent to the Fairfax Seminary General Hospital, in Vir- ginia, some six miles bevond Alexandria. This was in November 1862. When hot weather came in the spring of 1863, all the patients who could travel were sent North, and part of the hospital being closed. Miss Foster went home for a iev: months, to recuperate. In October of that same year, 1863, Miss Foster accepted an invitation to go to St. Louis and work under the Western Sanitary Commission. After a trip to Nashville, Tenn., without result, she was sent down the river to New Orleans, La., to help take charge of the "Soldier's Home" there. Preferring service as an Army Nurse, she soon sought and obtained a position in the Hospital of the Thirteenth Army Corps, es- tablished in a huge cotton press. "Here began some months of the hardest, but yet the most satisfactory work which I ever did," — she says. In March 1S64, most of the patients in that hospital were sent North, and the re- mainder were transferred to the "Marine Hospital," a large permanent institution, whither Miss Foster followed them ; and in June of that year, this hospital having be- come less crowded, and feeling pretty well worn out, she came North to New York, on a transport, being nearly wrecked in a severe gale oft Charleston, S. C, and pass- ing safely through a serious railroad accident between New York and Portsmouth. Her third, and last experience as an Army Nurse, came in the spring of 1865, when Miss Dix sent a request for Miss Foster to report to her for duty in Washington ; but the very day she started came the glad news of the fall of Richmond. After a few weeks at the Finley and the Harewood General Hospitals, Washing- ton, both were closed, one after the other ; and the war happily ended. Miss Foster joyfully returned home. 68 Miss Mary A. Foster was one of the founders of the Portsmouth Public Library, and had a great deal to do with its beginning,. In 1871, Rev. James l)e Normandie, minister of the Unitarian Church, together with Miss Foster and others, established a Young People's Union, in three rooms at the corner of Congress and Vaughan streets, Portsmouth, where young people might resort in the evening. They collected about a thousand volumes, which, when the Union ceased to exist in 1874, were stored in the basement of the Unitarian Chapel. In 18S0, Miss Foster conceived the idea of loaning these books to the people of the city. Mr. Robert E. Rich (a veteran of the War for the preservation of the Union, who lost his right leg at the battle of Antietam — Record, "Harmony Grove Cemetery" — afterwards long Librarian of the Portsmouth Public Library,) catalogued them, and Miss Foster and other ladies arranged and covered them. They secured a little room in the Custom House for temporary use, and on January ist, 1881, the Public Library began the issue of books. After several changes of location the Library was finally established in its present building, formerly the "Portsmouth Academy," in 1896. "Word was received this morning [November 19, 1913] of the death at San Rafael, California, yesterday of Miss Mary A. Foster. Until ten j'ears ago Miss Foster was all her life a resident of Portsmouth [excepting during her Army service], and she and her sister Sarah were well known and highly honored here. She represented the best type of New England character. Her zeal for the highest things in life, moral, intellectual and religious, never flagged, and she could always be counted upon for loyal service to her friends, her church and her town. She will be remembered here with respect and affection." (Rev. Alfred Gooding., i)i ''The Portsmouth Titnes" November ig, igi3') Miss Mary A. Foster died at San Rafael, California, November 18, 1913, age 84, and is interred in Proprietors' Cemetery, North of Pond, Portsmouth. She is the only one of the Portsmouth Army Nurses who was born, resided most of her life, and is buried in Portsmouth. 69 MISS MARY LEWIS ISRAEL. ARMY NURSE.

BY SARAH HAVEN FOSTER. Not long ago A darker cloud our Country's sky o'ercast Than whirling stormrifts in November's blast ; When Winter, stealing through sad autumn's gate, Found deeper cold on hearths made desolate Than all his snow. It is not long Since timid Spring, on her first southern breath, Brought news of terror and a scent of death ; Since Summer met no answer to her smiles, And the drum's clangor in her leafy aisles Hushed the birds' song. Have we forgot The ranks that answered freedom's warning bell. Braved the death tempest and the prison hell. With sturdy hearts hurled back the impending doom, But when the trump of Victory called them home, Responded not ? Not all forget ! The struggling widow keeps with tears the day That turned her staff to dust, her hope to clay ; The shadow on the mother's brow that fell When her brave darhng kissed his last farewell Is brooding yet. 74 Some yet can tell Of hours of anguish, worse than sudden doom, That left them helpless in a helpless home, Crippled or broken from the cruel strife, Fettered forever in the race of life By painful spell. Oh ! hearts at ease ! Your ease was bought at price of others' pain ; Another's loss your ransom and your gain ; Your homes secure with flowers of joy are strown. But other homes grew dark to bless your own ; Remember these ! With open hand Pay back the debt where not, alas ! too late ; Bid Comfort seek the hearths left desolate ; Save those who saved you from misfortune's blast, And prove our Country, mindful of the past, A grateful land !

Chaplain Massachusetts Senate, and Edward W. Kinsley Post, G. A. R., Boston. Why do I love our flag? Ask why Flowers love the sunshine. Or, ask why The needle turns with eager eye Toward the great stars in northern sky. I love Old Glory, for it waved Where loyal hearts the Union saved. I love it, since it shelters me And all most dear, from sea to sea. I love it, for it bravely flies In freedom's cause, 'neath foreign skies, I love it for, its blessed cheer. Its starry hopes and scorn of fear ; For good achieved and good to be To us and to humanity. It is the people's banner bright, Forever guiding toward the light ; Foe of the tyrant, friend of right, God give it leadership and might !

IST^, REORGANIZED JUNE 2"7. 18"78. 28—104 ORGANIZATION— FIRST CHARTER. "On the 6th day of November, 1867, Major A. S. Cushman, Commander of the Department of Massachusetts, G. A. R., after consultation with the Senior Vice-Com- mander-in-Chief, and subject to the approval of the Commander-in-Chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, signed a charter authorizing the establishing of Storer Post, No. I, at Portsmouth, in the Provisional Department of New Hampshire, with George E. Sides, Reuben Kimball, Jr., Edwin A. Tilton, Daniel J. Vaughan, Charles L. Tidd, Frank E. Goodwin, C. Dwight Hanscom, Matthew T. Betton, John S. McDonald, and William J. Morrison, as charter members. This action was approved." (Address of Marcus M. ColHs, Past Commander, Department of New Hampshire, G. A. R., and Member of Storer Post, at the celebration of the 25th anniversary of the organization of the Grand Army of the Republic, by Storer Post, April 6, 1891.) Storer Post was organized by Major Cushman in Rechabite Hall, No. 38 Market Street, Portsmouth, on Friday evening, November 8th, 1867. Matthew T. Betton, Captain Co. K, 13th New Hampshire Volunteers, also Commanding 8ist New York Volunteers, was elected the first Commander; with George E. Sides and Charles L. Tidd, Senior and Junior Vice-Commanders; Edwin A. Tilton, Adjutant; and Reuben Kimball, Jr., Quartermaster. On November i6th, at the request of Major Cushman, the Post nominated and submitted to him a list of officers for a Provisional Department, with Captain Matthew T. Betton as Provisional Commander, and Edwin A. Tilton, as Adjutant General. These nominations were approved, and the Provisional Department was thus duly organized, and began the work of establishing the Grand Army of the Republic on a permanent basis in New Hampshire. An historical sketch of the formation of Storer Post and the Provisional Depart- ment of New Hampshire, G. A. R., prepared by Edwin A. Tilton, of Portsmouth, a charter member, first Adjutant of Storer Post, and Adjutant General of the Provis- ional Department of New Hampshire, was printed in the "Journal of the First to Thirteenth Encampments, Department of New Hampshire, G. A. R.," Concord, N. H., 1889. A more detailed account was given by him in an address at the celebration of the 25th anniversary of the organization of Storer Post, November 14, 1892, which was printed in the "Daily Evening Post" of Portsmouth, November 16, 1892. The ten original charter members of Storer Post were all living on the 25th anni- versary in 1892, but only three, Daniel J. Vaughan, C. Dwight Hanscom, and Matthew T. Betton, were then members of the Post. Three of the ten original charter members, C. Dwight Hanscom, John S. Mc- Donald, and William J. Morrison, were living on the semi-centennial anniversary in 1917, and the first two were members of the Post. All died before January i, 1921. Storer Post was so named in honor of Rear Admiral George Washington Storer, U. S. Navy, 1789 — 1864, of Portsmouth, N. H., at the suggestion of Edwin A. Tilton, one of the charter members, and the "Father" of Storer Post, who first wrote to the Department Commander of Massachusetts, G. A. R., requested him to grant the char- ter, and arranged for his visit to Portsmouth to muster the charter members and orga- nize the Post. 29—105 The Semi-Centennial of the organization of Storer Post was celebrated at a special meeting of the Post at Grand Army Hall, Daniel Street, Portsmouth, November 23, 1917. Articles by Joseph Foster, member of Storer Post, covering the history of the Post for fifty years, were printed in the "Portsmouth Times" of November 8 and 24, 1917. Two pamphlets relating to the patriotic work of the Post, compiled by him, were printed in 1890 and 1891, viz.— "The Presentation of Flags, by Storer Post, G. A. R., to the Schools of Ports- mouth, N, H., October 9th, 1890. Portsmouth, N. H., 1890." "The Presentation of Portraits of General William Whipple, Signer of the Dec- laration of Independence, and of David Glasgow Farragut, Admiral United States Navy, by Storer Post, G. A. R., to the City of Portsmouth, N. H., for the Whipple and Farragut Schools, November 20, 1891. Portsmouth, N. H., 1891." These Schools were so named by the City at the request of the Post. Storer Post's beautiful "Memorial Record Book for the Personal War Sketches of Comrades," presented to the Post on its twenty-fifth anniversary, celebrated November 14., 1892, in memory of Col. Pierse Long, Revolutionary War, of Portsmouth (Pro- prietors' Cemetery — North of Pond), by his granddaughter, Mrs. Henry H. Ladd (Mercy Elizabeth Long), of Portsmouth, is now at the Public Library, Portsmouth. See Printed Records, 1893 ^^^ '91 7- CHARTER MEMBERS— FIRST CHARTER. Organized November 8, 1867.

Mrs. Thomas Aston Harris presented a beautiful American flag to the Camp at its meeting held February 26, 1917. Many members of Storer Post, and Storer Relief Corps, were guests on the occasion. Meshach H. Bell, Commander of Storer Post, who July 2, 1890, as Commander, had mustered Captain Harris into Storer Post, in making the presentation for Mrs. Harris, outlined the good service of Captain Harris in the Navy, and described particularly the brilliant capture of a Confederate battery at Hill's Point, Virginia, April 19, 1863, when he, commanding the U. S. Steamer "Stepping Stones," with an Army detachment of Co. G, loth N. H. Infantry, a Ports- mouth Company, and other troops, beached his vessel under this battery, — which, while patrolling the Nansemond River, he had often passed peacefully, — when the troops quickly captured it in an unexpected assault. Several Comrades of Storer Post who took part in the capture were at the pre' sentation. Percy A. Mouiton is Commander of the Camp for 192 1. 46—122 WOMAN'S RELIEF CORPS.

Addresses, Portsmouth Plains, August ro, 19 19. [IN PART.] "We never cease to get inspiration from Abraham Lincoln. Today there comes to us with imperative propriety his inspired words delivered on the battlefield of Gettysburg after that miraculous engagement. What we say here is of passing mo- ment, but what these men did, their deeds, preserved civilization itself, and can never perish from the memory of man; nay, even more, they shall increase in importance as time shall give us clearer vision of present-day history. "A part of these boys actually sleep under the sacred soil of France, some in other places, but in our hallowed memory of them, in a vague but inspiring way we shall feel, as we pass this spot, that it belongs to them, and that here is the immortal shrine bearing their stars of gold and their names of love, and that here their spirits lie or dwell, here their valor shines and here their influence shall radiate forever, as an inspiration to the future lads who follow with the same old flag. "We have a trust, we who live and follow on in the procession of the living, to keep these historic 'Plains' neat, clean and attractive, as becomes the place where our boys are to be remembered. "God bless these fallen boys, maj' we never forget them. May we never forget the sacrifice, nor the cost of the thing which they saved. May our love for the flag be greater because they died for it. May we hate the mob more and stand by the gov- ernment firmer. May we not allow another war to come to make other graves like these because we are narrow or bigoted, because we are forgetful and careless, remem- bering that these boys went to war feeling that wars were to be ended by their sacri- fices. "May they rest in peace, and the flag for which they died forever wave, o'er the land of the free and the home of the brave." ( Hon. John H. Bartlett, Governor of New Hampshire. ) "As Mayor of the city I accept and receive this monument on behalf of all our citizens. I assure that this city which has so much of history and brave deeds to its credit will never forget these, our latest and newest heroes. "We will always keep their memory green, and we will also keep this marker in its place and in repair, and this beautiful park in good condition out of respect to their memory. "The sacrifice of these twenty-four boys shall never be forgotten in Portsmouth, and their heroic deeds will be our pride forever." (Hon. Albert His lop, Mayor of Portsmouth.) 51—127 HONOR ROLL. (U.

JOHN G. WHITTIER. Our thought of thee is glad with hope, Dear country of our love and prayers ; ' Thy way is down no fatal slope, But up to freer sun and airs. Tried as by furnace fires, and yet By God's grace only stronger made; In future tasks before thee set Thou Shalt not lack the old time aid. The fathers sleep, but men remain As true and wise and brave as they ; Why count the loss without the gain? The best is that we have to-day. No lack was in thy primal stock. No weakling founders builded here ; There were the men of Plymouth Rock, The Puritan and Cavalier; And they whose firm endurance gained The freedom of the souls of men, AVhose hands unstained in peace maintained The swordless commonwealth of Penn. And time shall be the power of all To do the work that duty bids; And make the people's Council Hall As lasting as the Pyramids. Thy lesson all the world shall learn. The nations at thy feet shall sit; Earth's farthest mountain tops shall burn With watchflres from thine own uplit. Great, without seeking to be great By fraud or conquest— rich in gold : But richer in the large estate Of virtue which thy children hold. With peace that comes of purity, And strength to simple justice due, So owns our loyal dream of thee, God of our fathers ! make it true. Oh, land of lands ! to thee we give Our love, our trust, our service free : For thee thy sons shall nobly live. And at thy need shall die for thee. {The Critic, New York, 23 August, 1S90.)

H. { Portsmouth, N. H., Oct. 6, 1890. ) Comrade :— Storer Post will present the Flags to the Schools of this City, on Thurs- day, Oct. 9th. You are hereby notified to appear at G. A. R. Hall, on above date, at 8 o'clock, a. m., SHARP, in full uniform. The Post will leave the Hall at 8..30. It is earnestly requested that you make a special eflfort to attend, and thus emphasize by your presence, that the patriotic fire of '61 and '65 has not abated, and that you are in ac- cord with this noble object lesson in patriot- ism to the schools of our City. Should the weather be unfavorable on that day, a signal will be sounded by the FIRE ALARM at 6.45 as follows :— Five blows of one minute intervals. If fair Friday, same signal, same hour, in- dicating exei'cises will take place on that day. Yours in F. C. & L. M. H. Bell, C. H. Besselievre, Commander. Adjutant. {Times, 7 October, 1890.) miT K EXERCISES. O say, can you see, by the dawn's early light What so proudly we hailed ai the twilight's last gleaming ? Whose broad stripes and bright stars Through the perilous fight O'er the ramparts we watched Were so gallantly streaming. While the rocket's red glare. The bombs bursting in air Gave proof through the night That our Flag was still there. The Star Spangled Banner, O long may it wave O'er the land of the free And the home of the brave. TO THE coming generations should be constantly brought a full realization of the sacrifices of the men of 61-65 in behalf of the free institutions of America. That community thrives best wherein public opinion is stirring and constant in past events as well as in the current happenings which compel a hearing. His- tory grows old, but it should never be- come stale, and that which concerned the state, decades or centuries ago, is as much a part of present history as effect is a relative of cause. The men of '61 were sons of the patriots of '76, and the pages of New Hampshire's history, made mem- orable by Langdon, Whipple, Stark, Sul- livan and an innumerable host of heroes, were again illumined by the deeds of men who gather to-day under the folds of the starry banner, victorious for the right on a hundred bloody fields. From this year of grace to the Conti- nental congress of '76 is a far cry ; but on occasions like this of to-day Time comes back, and space is abridged. One lives in the past for a moment, and memory brings back tender pai'tings, cheered with hope, yet tempered with missiving, the latter, alas ! too often realized ; brings back the weary march, the hurried bivou- ac, the crack of the rifle or the rush of shell, and one by one, in obedience to an involuntary roll-call, former comrades pass in review with a silent — "Here !" — until the dreamer awakens to a realiza- tion that the companion in tent and field is "present" only in memory, but is, per- haps, happily accounted for, and his rest- ing place shrouded with the blossoms of each recurring May. But living men are here today, some of whom bear the ineflaceable marks of the bloody strife of a quarter century ago; some who stood with Farragut and dared the danger the old hero courted and de- spised ; men who marched through Georgia with Sherman ; who fought at Vicksburg with Grant ; at Chancellorsville and Look- out Mountain with Hooker; who stood with Burnside at bloody Fredericksburg, with Little Mac at Antietam ; who had sailed through a deluge of fire at New Or- leans and Mobile ; men who followed Sheridan up the Shenandoah valley ; who came at last through Five Forks and the Petersburg trenches to victory and a restored nation, at Richmond. The presence of these men on this oc- casion is a living lesson to the youth of today. The lesson of the Flag is mani- fest in the person of the men who saved it; could anything be more impressive? They have come back from the brink of the grave to tell the world that where floats the Stars and Stripes, liberty and equal rights are man's birthright, which none shall dare assail. As the flag passes from hand to hand, with an added blessing as it goes, its final custodian should receive it with a vow of allegiance so heartfelt that he may ex- perience an honest joy wherever its broad field greets his eye, and attune his heart and train his hand to sing its glory and maintain its honor in whatever station in' life he may be called. Under the Flag, as a student, he will im- bibe the virtues of loyalty and fidelity ; and steadfast to those virtues as a citizen in after life, under the same Flag his man- hood will make good the promise of his youth. The lass of today will be the matron of tomorrow, and she will tell to the patriots of a future generation how the stars and stripes floated over the com- mon schools wherein her youth was passed, and where she learned the duty of love to country, and of sacritice to main- tain its integrity ; and they shall rise and call her blessed. Moved by a patriotic impulse, a few weeks ago, the members of Storer Post voted to donate to the several schools of this city, a handsome national color, to be displayed daily when weather permits. Having secured the adoption by the city of the names, "Whipple" and" Farragut," for the new schoolhouses, the programme which has been carried out today, was carefully arranged, and the formal inves- titure, so anxiously anticipated, has now become a fact accomplished. THE PRESENTATIONS. The morning dawned delightfully ; ev- erybody was up and stirring at an early hour, breakfast was swallowed with little ceremony, judging from the numbers on the street, and when at 8.30 the line was formed on the Square, Storer Post was greeted by an assemblage respectable in character and in point of size. The High School As announced in the official programme, the Post proceeded directly to the High school, halted and faced the side entrance on Chapel street, the speakers and custo- dians of the different flags at the front and centre. The pupils filed out and took position in rear of the Post, in charge of George D. Whittier, teacher of music in the public schools. At the entrance stood the Rev. Alfred Gooding, Principal Upton and his corps of assistants. At the com- mand : ATTENTION ! Commander M.H. Bell ordered the drum corps to play, to which Bandmaster Kay responded with The Star Spangled Ban- ner. This being concluded, Comd'r Bell addressed Rev. Mr. Gooding in the fol- lowing pithy and expressive words : ADDRESS OF COMD'K M, H, BELL. Rev. Sir : — It is my privilege as the representative of Storer Post, Grand Army of the Republic, to present you, and through you to the scholars of the High School, this beautiful emblem of our country. May the flag as it waves daily over their heads, spreading its gentle influence so lovingly around, fill the heart of each scholar with the warmest patriotism and love of country and the flag, that through life it shall be ever present in their thoughts. For liberty and union, one and insepara- ble, now and forever, we fought, and hun- dreds of thousands of our comrades died; and that they may not have died in vain, the Grand Army of the Republic seeks that our starry flag may everywhere through the great republic, teach the coming gen- erations that all men are equal before the law and that this union must and shall be preserved. See to it, scholars of the High school, if another crisis comes, that you too declare by word and deed if need be. that this government of the people , for the people, and by the people, shall not perish from the earth. Mr. Gooding received the color and turning it over to Comrade Charles F. Goodwin of the Post, and John F. Tracy of the High school, lesponded in sub- stance as follows : REA'. MR. GOODING'S ADDRESS. Mr. Commander : In behalf of the may- or ot the city of Portsmouth, who is una- voidably absent, I thank you and your comrades of Storer Post for this beauti- ful flag, the emblem of Liberty, the pride of a reunited and happy country. This custom is a most excellent one, generally observed throughout the country; and it is a source of great satisfaction to know that we in Portsmouth are not slow in im- itating it. It is, as it should be, to the pupils of the schools, a perpetual remind- er of the higher privileges we enjoy, high- er than those attained by any nation on the globe. It teaches us to cherish the lofty spirit of patriotism and self-sacrifice you and your comrades displayed in the country's hour of need, and to emulate the deeds of their fathers in upholding the sacred trusts transmitted through succeeding generations. Again I thank you, and in behalf of the city I accept this beautiful flag, the gift of Storer Post. As the flag was unfurled from the tow- ering stafl", the pupils sang "Ameiica;" but not a cheer was heard, the ritual of the Grand Army making no provision therefor. At the close of the singing Commander Bell gave the order : ATTENTION ! SALUTE THE FLAG ! And where a thousand throats should have made Heaven's blue vault ring with patriotic cheers, fifty hands went to the rims of fifty hats instead ; and the flag was saluted. That ritual needs revising. The march was then resumed and upon arriving at The Farragut School The line was formed as before, and in an eloquent address, made doubly so by the speaker's service with Farragut on the Brooklyn before the war and as aid to the Admiral on the flagship Hartford at the memorable tight in Mobile Bay, and in command of the gunboat Selma in the same action. Capt. Arthur R. Yates, U. S. N., said :— CAPT. YATES' ADDRESS. Mr. Seymour, Gentlemen of the city government, teachers and pupils : The diity that has devolved upon me of presenting the flag of our country to this school is one exceedingly gratifying, not only that in its performance I am carry- ing out the highly patriotic purposes of the G. A. R. ; but that in connection with our beloved Flag,, the opportunity is of- fered of mentioning one after whom this school is named, who did so much to make that Flag wave victoriously at the close of a rebellion greater than had ever been waged. The purpose of presenting the national Flag to the public schools of dur country has been stated today, and often on similar occasions throughout the land ; but I p annot feel wholly satisfied unless I call your attention, and especially that of the pupils, to the fact that it can scarcely be too frequently repeated, that the G. A. R. knows from personal experi- ence Low cheering, how ennobling, how conducive to the performance of heroic deeds, was the sight of the starry Flag in conflicts where the results were doubtful. It was a soul stirring hope of victory, for it was an assurance as long as it waved that the result was yet in the hands of those battling beneath its folds. From time immemorial the National Flag has been the ralljing point, and the sentiment attached to it has undoubtedly become hereditary. This sentiment should be one of the holiest and purest that occu- pies the human breast. Is the Flag not emblematic of the institutions of our country ? Does it not call country, home, and all the endearing ties that accompany these words to the mind, making the heart quicken its beat with patriotic im- pulses ? No matter whether we approve or do not, of all the acts done by the govern- ment of our country ; it is, nevertheless, "our country, right or wrong," and the Flag representing all it is, should be more precious to us than our lives, and should be kept unsullied by any act that would bring to the cheek of a patriot the suspi- cion of a blush. To have our country al- ways right, and consequently the Flag in the proud position of universal respect it holds today, let each and all of us resolve to do what within us lies to this pur- pose. This can be done only by making our politics like our I'eligion, a matter of conscience, and when we exercise the right of a citizen, let each of us do it as if the welfare of the country rested upon his shoulders alone. Most truly and sin- cerely do I believe that Admiral David Glasgow Farragut, after whom this school is named and to whom I have alluded, al- ways acted as if he felt this responsibili- ty. By our acts are we judged, and no life in our country's history is more studded with evidences of honest and pure inten- tions than that of the grand old Admiral. He was what a leader should be — brave but modest; bold without recklessness; full of resources ; honest as day ; true as steel ; pure in his personal character, and as as a result of these qualities, possessed of that magnetism that caused his subor- dinates to be loyally attached to him, and to love as well as respect him. This dear old town of ours will be al- ways mentioned in history in connection with his name, for at this navy yard he died on the 14th of August, 1870. and in the vault at St. John's church his re- mains were laid until at a later date they were removed to New York, the state of his adoption. Time will not permit me to say more than a few words of this grand old hero, whose love for the Flag was unbounded. The comrade who hoists the Flag this hour upon your schoolhouse, as well as the one who addresses you, has the honor of having served under him. To Comrade Tibbetts is the honor of carrying in his pert'on today, evidences of his devotion to the Flag, and weighty re- miniscences of one of the most memorable actions of the Admiral, in the shape of pieces of shells received during the pas- sage of Forts Jackson and Philip. The successful passage of these forts earned for the admiral the affectionate soubri- quet of "old Salamander." The Admiral's calm self possessed man- ner in battle, the confidence all felt in his ability, inspired all about him with a touch of his own determination to leave nothing undone to assure success. His plans of battle were like himself, plain and sti-aightforward, easily compre- hended, and as a consequence successful. The Admiral, my young friends, did not have the advantages you possess of acquir- ing an education. He was appointed a midshipman in the Navy in 1810, and hav- ing been born in 1801, at Campbell's sta- tion near Knoxville, Tenn., was conse- quently but nine years old. At the early age of thirteen he was in command of one of the Essex's prizes, taken during the eventful cruise of that vessel in the Pa- cific, under Commodore David Porter. He was but 14 when slightly wounded on that vessel, in her action with the Phoebe and Cherub. He received the commen- dation of his commander, who regretted the young sailor was not old enough for promotion. Think for a moment of the deeds of this stripling at about your age. Oue who, instead of having all the aids and encouragemf^nt to study that this pro- gressive age and a generous country affoi'd you, acquired his knowledge under great difficulties. That he was a man of varied information, able to converse in some three or four European languages, is an evidence of his refinement as well as of his industry and ability, and truly the promise of the youth was realized in an honorable manhood. Such was the man after whom your school is named. Such the man who loved most devotedly the Flag that is to rty over your schoolhouse. On comins; to your daily tasks may the sight of the Flag create in you a desire to emulate in his good qualities, in his desire for knowl- edge, the man who has shed so much hon- or upon our starry banner; and let me ask you to remember, as showing the def- erence and respect in which the Flag is held by those whose special duiy it is to show it in foreign lands, who are most familiar with it, from having it, I may say, almost hourly in their view, that on board every U. S. man-of-war, whenever the Flag is hoisted to or lowered from the peak, every face is turned towards it. and every head is uncovered. This, not from blind idolatry or maudliu sentiment, but as a tribute of respect to our country and her emblem, the symbol of progress •ind freedom Into your hands, my young friends, as representatives of the coming aeneration, does the G. A. K. commit this Flag, trust- ing that you will in your turn transmit it teethe next generation with added honor, and may the deeds that will make it so, be not necessarily those of bloody war, but of honorable peace, in the advance- ment of civilizaiion, and the hastening of that day when the w<->rld will be wiser, and international questions will not be set- tled by might, but by right. The speaker was loudly applauded, and at the conclusion was presented with a fine bouquet by the principal of the school. Miss Fierce, in behalf of i little tive-year old pupil, Josie Kane. The musical pro- gramme was here repeated, during which Comrade John F. Tibbetts, who was se- verely wounded at the passage of Forts Jackson and St. Philip, below New Orleans on the 24th of April, 1862, while serving on the U. S. S. Katahdin— accompanied by Perley Spinney, a pupil of the school, proceeded to the roof of the builcing and raised "Old Glory," which at this time re- ceived the homage of the assembled throats. Mr. Ira C. Seymour, of the Board of Instruction, delivered the following pointed and stirring addrtss of accept- ance : MR. SEYMOUR'S ADDRESS. Gentlemen : I have been selected to thank you in behalf of this school and its friends for this gift. In the selection of the "ensi-^n" of the nation as a present to the youth of our city, you have again manifested your fidelity to your country , and will place this flag so prominently before these scholars, that it will become a source of study with theui, and in study- ing to ascertain its origin and the purpose it is used for as a "national emblem," they will learn to honor, reverence, and love it, and so strongly will it become en- twined around their hearts that as the years of manhood come upon them, they will be as ready to defend it (if need be) as you were. And as the love and respect for the flag becomes a part of their na- ture, so the union of the states and the form of government will be a part of their very lives to them. In looking upon its stars and stripes we are remind- ed of what we owe to you and your com- rades. We have today the best gov- ernment on earth, and one in which all law abiding citizens are free. And under this Flag no citizen need to bend the knee to any one except his Creator. Again 1 thank you heartily for your estimable gift, and the interest you thereby mani- fest in the pupils of our schools. The march was again resumed, and a 'halt was made at The Whipple School on State street, and on the spacious grounds on the eastern side, the Post faced the side entrance and behind the veterans were deployed the pupils of the school. Within the arch over the en- trance stood Depart. S. V. Com. George E. Hodgdoii who gracefully delivered the flag in the following impressive words : ADDRESS OF GEO. E. HODGDON. Reverend Sir : — Upon the standard of the United States is written in invisible letters the story of the immensre sacrifices endured to establish the Union, to protect its honor when assailed by foreign powers, and to preserve its ex- istence in the most desperate of conflicts, which cannot be too deeply impressed upon the minds of the Americf^n youth, for upon them devolves the future destinies of this great country, and the cost of such a leg- acy is the true measure of its value. With a propriety that is most com- mendable, although an innovation upon the customs of the past, our municipal au- thorities have designated the two commo- dious structures recently completed for public instruction, by the names of illus- trious patriots of different eras. One has been named in honor of Farragut— the first of Araerican Admirals — over which we have witnessed the unfurling of the colors of the Union ; the other, under the walls of which we now stand, is a me- morial to one of Portsmouth's most emi- nent citizens, a distinguished general in the armies of the Revolution, whose auto- graph is fixed to tlie imaiortal document which gave birth to this republic. To crown the spacious edifice with the national emblems is our duiy of today ; and for this purpose I have been selected by my comrades of the Grand Army, in their behalf, to present to you, sir, as a representative of the educational interests of this city, the flag of the United States which is henceforth to float over Whipple School. The Rev. Henry E. Hovey of the Board of Instruction accepted the trust in behalf of the city, in characteristic phrase, graph- ically picturing the future of the veteran. Here are his words : KEV. MR. HOVEY'8 ADDRESS. Gentlemen of the Storer Post of the Grand Army of the Republic, ladies and gentlemen : As a member of the Board of Instruc- tion, and of the sub-committee in especial charge of this school, it gives me a great deal of pleasure to accet)t at your hands this beautiful symbol of our country's freedom, to be cherished and preserved, and constantly displayed from the top- most point of this building. I cannot but think that such events as these, which are occurring at this time in many parts of the country, hold and will continue to hold a very real place in the history of our land, and that some day the fact will be widely recognized. That for instance, there will be on the walls of our national capitol at Washington, side by side with the paintii.gs of the Discov- ery of America, of the Landing of the Puritans, of the Declaration of Independ- ence, four equal paintings depicting the history of the volunteer soldier who fought for the integrity of the United States in the great civil war. The rirst of these four paintings will represent him a young man leaving home in 1861. There will be seen the familiar homestead of our American manhood, and before it will be grouped the father, the moiher, the sisters and brothers of the family. And the young man will be bidding them farewell amid his father's blessings and his mother's tears. Tlien the next paint- ing will represent the volunteer in the midst of battle. There will be the long line of the blue and the gray facing each other in deadly conflict. There will be plunging horses and heavy cannon and glit- tering swords, and there will be smoke and fire and blood. And then the third painting represents h'm coming home at the end of the war. The city dressed in flags, the streets crowded with acclaiming and enthusiastic spectators ; the hats thrown in the air, the bells pouring out their loudest clang- or, and all that indescribable scene of confusion and joy and exultation in vic- tory, which so many of us remember as school children then, when the boys in blue eame home for good from Washing- ton. Well! then, thi'se three paintings of the life of a volunteer of the great civil war would not tell all the story, there would need to be another yet. And the fourth painting would depict the voluntt^er handing the flag of the country to the next generation to keep and respect and defend ! A quarter of a century has gone by, and he is now no longer a young man. With plenty of life and vigor in him jet, he still begins to feel that in the c
