CcBZ-GO nd i^wnd' J£ll_ ^nwtal f^ltttn^ THE RECORD OF ANDOVER THE REBELLION. COMPILED BY SAMUEL RAYMOND. %n1babex : WARREN F. DRAPER, PRINTER, MAIN STREET. 1875. At the Annual Town Meeting in March last, it was Voted. To print the Record of the Town of Andover during the Rebellion, which has already been prepared by Samuel Raymond, and that every voter in town have a copy of the same, if desired. Voted. To appropriate the sum of One Thousand Dollars to carry the same into effect. Voted. That a Committee of three be appointed by the Chair- In accordance with this Vote, Samuel Raymond, Francis H. Johnson, and James B. Smith were appointed. PREFACE A few words seem necessary regarding tlie origin and purpose of the manuscript volume of which this is an abridgment. The records show that during the late Rebellion the Town made several ineffectual efforts to keep a Register of such of its citizen's as entered the military or naval service of the United States, and who made a part of the several quotas which the Town was called upon to furnish. It was in 1870, five years after the Rebellion had been suppressed, that the people of the Town proposed to erect, by voluntary subscriptions, a Memorial Hall, in honor of its sons who had sacrificed their lives in the war. The enter prise having been successfully inaugurated, I was chosen by my associates on the Building Committee to prepare a roll of the honored dead, to be placed under the corner-stone. The time for preparation was very brief; but, with such material as was then at hand, a list of forty-six names was furnished. Subsequent investigation proved this list to be incorrect, in that it embraced the names of six men who, at the time of their decease, were serving on tlie quotas of other towns. In preparing the rolls for the tablet, as I had both ample PREFACE. time and leisure, it was my purpose, not only to correct the former roll, but to prepare that Register which the Town had failed to make during the progress of the Rebellion, to record all action of the Town on affairs pertaining to the war, and collect any other kindred matter, whether local or otherwise, that might be of interest or use in the future, and to present the volume when completed to tlie Memorial Hall. I do not assume that this published volume is correct in every particular ; but whatever errors there may be in it are chargeable to myself or the State Records, and not to the Committee on Publication. I think, however, I may, with strict regard to truth and justice, claim that both the original and this abridged copy are far more correct than the "Record of Massachusetts Volunteers" published by the State. It is exceedingly gratifying that the manuscript volume has in all cases received the unqualified commendation of the many prominent citizens who have carefully examined its pages, and that the Town has not only granted me a very liberal gratuity, but has ordered the publication of the present volume for gratuitous distribution among its citizens. SAMUEL RAYMOND. Andover, January, 1875. TO THE CITIZENS OF ANDOVER. In the making up of the present volume we have endeavored to carry out, so far as was possible without exceeding the means at our disposal, your wishes, as ex pressed in the foregoing Votes. On an examination of the Record in its manuscript form, it appeared that to print the whole of its contents would involve producing a volume of more than four hundred pages, and an expense considerably in excess of the appropriation. We therefore ventured to omit from the published volume such documents as could be spared without materially lessening its value as a History of Andover's share in the War of the Rebellion. The material omitted belongs mainly to the following classes : Gfeneral Orders, issued from the War Departments at Washington and Boston, calling for quotas of troops, and prescribing rules and regulations for enrolment, volunteer ing, organization, equipment, etc., Laws of the State on the same subjects, and also those relating to State Aid and, Bounties. All of these papers can be found in the Archives of the several Departments. We have also omitted several speeches delivered by citizens of the Town, lists of subscriptions (being imperfect) Vlll TO THE CITIZENS OF ANDOVEK. to the Committee of Twenty-five, and a very full and inter esting Report of over thirty written pages, by Provost-Marshal Herrick, of this District, to the War Department at Wash ington, on the subjects of enrolment, drafting, substitution, recruiting, etc. Mention is made in this volume of all the military or ganizations in which the Town was represented during the war ; and, in connection with the names of tliose who served in each one, a list of its engagements and some other statistics are given. In the case of the First Mass. Heavy Artillery, — one of the companies of which was wholly com posed of soldiers from this Town, and the rolls of which contain the -names of more than one-third of all the soldiers furnished by the Town, — much more has been done. A full history of this Regiment, compiled from official sources, will he found in the Appendix. SAMUEL RAYMOND, FRANCIS H. JOHNSON, JAMES B. SMITH, Committee. Andover, Jan. 23, 1875. THE RECORD OF ANDOYEE DURING THE REBELLION. On the 18th of April, 1861, — six days after the bombard ment of Fort Sumter, and three days after the proclamation of President Lincoln calling for 75,000 Volunteers, — the active participation of Andover in the war of the Rebellion began. On that day a meeting of citizens and others was held in the Hall at Frye Village, in response to a call of only seven hours' notice. John Dove having been chosen Chairman, Joseph W. Poor stated that the particular object for which the meeting was called, was to see what could be done toward organizing a company of some sort, for the purpose of becoming familiar with military drill. Remarks were made by the Chairman, Messrs. John Smith, Peter Smith, Isaac M. Hardy, William Poor, and many others ; after which it was decided to await the action of the meeting to be held on the next Saturday evening, at the Town Hall. The call for this meeting was as follows : " CITIZENS ATTEND." " The Citizens of Andover are requested to meet at the Town Hall, on Saturday evening, April 20th, at 7 o'clock, to take into consideration the present alarming condition of l THE RECORD OF ANDOVER [1861. our country, and to devise such measures as may be deemed proper to sustain the General Government in preserving our National Union. "A Military Company is being formed in this town, and the meeting will have an opportunity to tender to this object such sympathy and material aid as the occasion may suggest and the times demand. "MANY CITIZENS." Andover, April 18th, 1861. On Saturday evening the citizens rallied in great num bers in response to the above call. William Chickering having called the meeting to order, was chosen temporary Chairman, and George Foster, Secretary. A Committee appointed for the purpose of nominating a list of officers for the permanent organization of the meeting, reported as follows : For President, — Francis Cogswell. For Vice-Presidents, — Amos Abbott, John Aiken, Marcus Morton, Jr., Samuel Merrill, Nathan W. Hazen, William Jenkins, Solomon Holt, John Dove, Oliver H. Perry, Moses Clement, Dean Holt, Nathan Frye, David Higgins. For Secretaries, — Moses Foster, Jr., George Foster, Albert Abbott. Committee 'on Resolutions, — Marcus Morton, Jr., Calvin E. Stowe, Oliver H. Perry ,William G. Means, Samuel Raymond. On taking the Chair, the President spoke as follows : " It was the custom of our forefathers to recognize the overruling Providence of Almighty God in public as well as private affairs. In times of national prosperity they were wont in their public assemblies to return thanks for mercies received, and to implore a continuance of the blessing: In times of great national adversity it was equally common to assemble themselves together to supplicate the interposition of Heaven to stay the evil, and avert the impentling ruin. 1861.] DURING THE REBELLION. 3 In imitation of such a praiseworthy custom, let us look to a Higher Power for counsel, direction, and assistance, in this great national emergency. Let us devoutly look to Him who can easily control the unruly wills of men, and cause all things, however unpropitious they may appear, to work together for good to us as a nation. I feel confident, there fore, that I am but carrying out the wishes of all present, whose hearts throb with anxiety for the future welfare of our country, in calling upon Professor Stowe to lead the devo tions of this great assembly." After the earnest and appropriate Prayer of Professor Stowe, Mr. Cogswell again addressed the meeting. The 'Committee on Resolutions then reported, through their Chairman, Judge Morton, as follows : Resolved, That the armed hostility to the United States Government, now assumed by a portion of the Southern people, is entirely without justification in anything which the National Administration has done or proposes to do. That the claim of a right to sece*ue at will is utterly subver sive of all government, and leaves the nation a prey to an archy, like that of the South American republics, at the close of every election. That the robbing of the nation by the Secessionists of its money, fortifications, arms, mints, ships, custom-houses, and other property, levying war against the Government by the raising of troops, and gathering mu nitions of every kifid, firing upon the national flag, and attempting to murder the national soldiers while in the un aggressive discharge of their duties, aud the crying out against coercion on the part of the General Government,. whenever it makes the least attempt at preparation to defend itself and its property against these open, long-continued, and insolent assaults, is absurd, malignant, and mean, beyond all parallel in civilized, history, and deserves the utter con tempt and detestation of mankind. Resolved, That the present position and action of the Secessionists is not in consequence of any grievance actually endured, or even anticipated, from the General Government, 4 THE RECORD OF ANDOVER [1861. but the meditated result of a plan, cherished for more than thirty years past, by certain restless and ambitious men at the South, -to establish a great slave empire in the fertile regions around the Gulf of Mexico. A plan with which the better part of the Southerners themselves have no sympathy. That they are kept quiet by intimidation and violence only ; and that the leaders of this rebellious movement are so well aware of the fact that they dare not, and never will, submit their own action to a fair vote of the people. ¦ Resolved, That the exigencies of the present crisis impera tively demand of all patriots and true friends of liberty and order throughout the land that, suspending for the time the discussion of minor party differences, they unite heart and- soul to sustain the Government against its lawless assailants ; and that the zeal and energy with which all parties among us are now actually pursuing this course gives the best evi dence of the sincerity of their patriotism, and affords the most encouraging indications of the final success of tlieir efforts, and of the perpetuity of the free institutions which have been so wisely established in this Western world, at the expense of so much labor and self-denial, so much treasure and blood. Resolved, That, as the present violent proceedings of the Secessionists can be successfully resisted in no other way than by an overpowering military force at the disposal of the National Government, we hereby pledge ourselves to do all in our power to raise, sustain, and encourage such a force ; and that, either by bearing arms ourselves, or by contribut ing according to our ability to support the men who do bear arms, and their families', we will take our full share in this great struggle, and fight as our fathers fought when com pelled by a like necessity. Resolved, That tlie young men of Andover who are about- -organizing themselves into a Military Company to be at the disposal of the Government, have now, and shall continue to have, our warmest sympathy and most cordial support. These resolutions were received with great applause, and 1861.] DURING THE REBELLION. 5 were subsequently unanimously adopted. The President then announced that the meeting was open for the discussion of the resolutions, and introduced to the audience Professor Stowe, who was greeted with deafening applause. He was followed by John K. Tarbox, Ex-Mayor Saunders of Law rence, Amos Abbott, J. A. Bent of Phillips Academy, Joseph W. Poor, Peter Smith, Joseph Holt, William G. Means, and others. The gallery of the hall, reserved for ladies, was completely filled. Music was furnished by the Andover Brass Band, whose stirring airs contributed not a little to the enlivenment of the occasion. This meeting voted, That a Committee of twenty-five be chosen, whose duty it shall be to devise and carry into effect such measures as they deem expedient for the support and defence of our National Government during the present rebellion. That this Committee shall organize itself by the choice of a President, two Vice-Presidents, a Secretary, and a Treasurer, and have power to fill vacancies. That this Committee be authorized to raise money by subscription to be expended as they shall deem proper for the assistance of Volunteers and the families of Volunteers, and to carry out the purposes for which they were chosen. It was also voted, That the Chair appoint a Committee of five to nominate the aforesaid Committee of twenty-five, and report at the adjourned meeting. The following gentlemen were appointed, viz.

By order, etc. OLIVER WARNER, Secretary op State, Aug. 14th, A Citizens' meeting was held in the Town Hall in the evening to consider the expediency of offering a bounty for Volunteers to fill the Andover quota of nine months' men. The meeting was organized by the choice of the following officers. President, — Francis Cogswell. Vice-Presidents, — T. N. Haskell, John L. Taylor, Samuel C. Jackson, Peter Smith, Edward Buck, Daniel Logue, James Howarth, George Foster, James S. Eaton, C. M. Cordley, William S. Jenkins, Amos Abbott, Stephen Tracy, William Poor, James Shaw, Henry G. Tyer, Asa A. Abbott, Benjamin Boynton, Henry A. Bodwell, J. Q. A. Edgell, Abraham J. Gould, James Byers, Willard Pike. Secretary, — Warren F. Draper. After the meeting had been addressed by the President, Rev. Mr. Haskell, Dr. Jackson, Rev. J. L. Taylor, Rev. Mr. Cordley, and Dr. Howarth, the following resolutions were offered by the Secretary. Whereas, The Government of the United States by an order from the War Department dated August 4th, 1862, calls for a draft from the loyal States of the Union for three hundred thousand men, to serve nine mouths in the armies of the United States, and whereas in responding to this demand of the Government many towns in this State are 1862.] DURING THE REBELLION. 29 raising their quotas by the enlistment of Volunteers with the inducement of bounties ; therefore, Resolved, That the quota of Andover under the above specified call of the Government, as it shall be appointed by the Governor of this Commonwealth be raised by the recruit ment of Volunteers ; and to the end that this plan may be successfully and speedily consummated, the citizens of this town, now assembled, respectfully request their Selectmen to offer to each Volunteer the bounty of dollars, to be , paid as soon as he shall be sworn into service. Resolved, That the Selectmen are hereby requested to open a recruiting office without delay, and to adopt such other measures as they may deem expedient for securing the quota of this town. Resolved, That we will uphold and sustain our board of Selectmen in carrying out the provision of these resolutions, and give them our support at a formal meeting of the Town , which they are requested to call at once. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be placed in the hands of the Selectmen. On a motion of John Flint the blank was filled by insert ing one hundred dollars as the bounty. The resolutions were then unanimously adopted. COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS. Headquarters, Boston, Aug. 21, 1862. General Order, No. 38. Whereas, The provisions of the Statutes of this Common wealth are defective for the purpose of carrying into effect the draft of militia under the Order of the President of the United States, bearing date August 4th, 1862. It is there fore, ordered, First, That the quota of a draft of three hundred thou sand milit/ia, to be called into the service of the United States to serve for the period of nine months, unless sooner 30 THE RECORD OF ANDOVER [1862. discharged, wliich the State of Massachusetts has been re quired to furnish, to wit: nineteen thousand and eighty men to be raised by a draft, which will be conducted in con formity with the regulations of the War Department of the United States contained in General Order No. 99 of said Department, bearing date August 9, 1862, a copy of which is published with, and as a part of, the present Order (marked A). Second, It is further Ordered, That the Assessors of the several towns and cities use all possible dispatch in complet ing and returning the new enrolment in the manner heretofore ordered, which is in no respect modified by this Order. Third, And that the Selectmen of the several towns, and Mayors and Aldermen of the several cities, immediately return to the office of the Adjutant>General a sworn statement of the names and number of their inhabitants who have heretofore been mustered into the service of the United States, whose stipulated term of service has not expired, with the Com panies and Regiments into which they have been enlisted. This return is directed in order that the draft may be equal ized as far as possible, and towns and cities which have here tofore furnished more men them their just proportion may have due allowance for the same in the draft. Fourth, Commissioners to superintend drafting in each County will be forthwith appointed, and Surgeons to deter mine claims of exemption on account of disability. These officers will receive minute instructions from the Commander- in-chief as to the mode of executing their respective duties. Fifth, Copies of the enrolment lists for each town and city will be kept in the office of the town or city clerk for inspection. The copies to be returned to the Adjutant-Gen eral will be filed with the Sheriff of the several Counties for two days previous to the commencement of drafting in any city or town. Sixth, The Commissioners and Surgeons will themselves appoint times and places for receiving and determining claims for exemption, conformably to the regulations of the 1862.] DURING THE REBELLION. 31 War Deparment, and all exemptions must be then and there, claimed and determined, and iiiot afterwards ; but all ex emptions known to the Commissioners to exist, will be allowed whether claimed or not. Seventh, After all not liable to draft have been stricken from the list in any town or city by the Commissioner, he will at once report the number remaining thereon to the Adjutant-General, who will proceed to fix the exact quota of said town or city, and order the Commissioner to make a draft for the same in the maimer prescribed in tlie regulations of the War Department. Eighth, Rendezvous and commandants of the same will be seasonably appointed. Ninth, The drafting will commence in accordance with the Order of the War Department, dated August 4, 1862, which is herewith published as a part of this Order (marked B). Tenth, The instructions relating to enrolment promul gated through the State Department are herewith republished for the information of all. Eleventh, Although every arrangement will be made as . speedily as possible to execute this draft, — and the same will be promptly and rigidly carried out in any place which fails to furnish Volunteers to the number of its quota of militia, — yet the Municipal Authorities and Citizens of Massachusetts are earnestly exhorted to furnish at once the requisite number of Volunteers in order to avoid wherever possible, and if possible everywhere, any necessity for drafting. To this end the Adjutant-General will at once publish for the information of the people an approximate estimate of the number of men due from each place, although an accurate statement cannot be made until the enrolment is completed, and the names of all not liable to draft have been stricken out. To prevent all misunderstanding, notice is given that all Companies of Volunteer Militia which do not volunteer will be disbanded before the exemptions are arranged upon the 32 THE RECORD OF ANDOVER [1862. enrolment lists ; this course is rendered necessary because otherwise the members of Volunteer Companies would be exempt from draft. The Commander-in-chief has never for a moment doubted that the patriotism of the people of Massachusetts already illustrated by so much devotedness to the cause of their country from the beginning of the present struggle, would voluntarily furnish all the support of means, and of men, which the exegencies of the service and tlieir duty may re quire. Nor does he believe it now doubtful that Volunteers for the quota required will be enlisted as rapidly as the means can be accumulated for their care, equipment, and organization. But, as from the first, it has been the purpose and duty of the State Government to obey all lawful orders emanating from the President and the Department of War, so now it is the purpose of the Governor of Massachusetts faithfully to pursue the directions he may receive in this be half. And he relies on the unshrinking courage, the loyal patriotism, and the ancient manly character of the people of Massachusetts for all the support and encouragement which may be needed in the future. By command of His Excellency, John A. Andrew, Gov ernor and Commander-in-Chief. WILLIAM SCHOULER, Adjutant-General. Aug. 25th. A Town Meeting was held in the afternoon which was largely attended. The meeting was organized by the choice of S. C. Jackson as Moderator. The following Articles were in the Warrant calling the meeting. Article 2d. — To see if the Town will pay a bounty of one hundred dollars to Volunteers for filling Andover's quota of nine months' men. Article 3d. — If the second article pass in the affirmative, to see if the Town will authorize their Treasurer to hire money to pay said bounty, if necessary. Article 4th. — To see if the Town will ratify the resolu- 1862.] DURING THE REBELLION. 33 tions passed at the Citizens' meeting of August 14th, request ing the Selectmen to open a recruiting office. Took up Article 2d, and adopted the following, proposed by Dr. Jackson. Whereas, The State of Massachusetts has been required under an Order of the President of the United States, bear ing date August 4, 1 862, to furnish her quota of a draft of (300,000) three hundred thousand militia, amounting to (19,080) nineteen thousand and eighty men, to serve for nine months, unless sooner discharged, in the service of the United States, and Whereas, The citizens of this town would cordially respond to said Order of the President by furnishing Volunteers rather than conscripts to fill up its quota of the proposed draft, and would deem it a dishonor and a stain upon their patriotism to send soldiers raised by conscription for the defence of Liberty and the Union ; and, Whereas, The said citizens desire to equalize, as far as may be, the pecuniary burdens imposed upon the people by the present war against a most wicked rebellion ; therefore, Voted, That each Volunteer to fill the quota of men to be assigned to this town under the aforesaid Order of the Presi dent for a draft of militia, shall receive from the treasury of the town the sum of one hundred dollars as a bounty, when duly accepted and sworn into the service of the United States. Took up Article 3d, and Voted, That the Treasurer be authorized to hire a sum not ex ceeding six thousand dollars, if necessary, to pay said bounty. Took up Article 4th, and, Voted, To ratify the doings of the Selectmen, in opening a recruiting office. The foregoing votes having passed unanimously, and the business of the meeting being disposed of, Mr. Benjamin F. Wardwell offered the following preamble and resolution, which was adopted, with but one negative vote. 5 34 THE RECORD OF ANDOVER [1862.

When the President made his first call for Volunteers on the 15th day of April, 1861, it does not appear that any quotas were assigned to the several munici palities. Recruiting offices were opened at any place where it was apparent a Company could be raised. During the in terval between this and the second call in July 1862, many of our citizens had left town and enlisted in other places, wherever fancy, friendship, or interest dictated ; often giving as their place of residence, on the enlistment rolls, the name of the place where they happened to enlist. It was in the interest of this second call, the call under which the fifty-two recruits were furnished from this town, that quotas were assigned and bounties paid. The quotas were computed on the basis of the very .imperfect returns made by the assessors of " men 'liable to do military duty " ; returns which for years they had been required to make annually. As a third call was about to be made, and these returns were imperfect, the Governor by Proclamation of August 8th, 1862, ordered a new enrolment ; and on the 21st issued General Order No. 38. It will be noticed by referring to the Order wliich precedes the list, that the Selectmen were required to immediately return to the Adjutant-General's office, " a sworn statement of the number and names of the inhabitants who have here tofore been mustered into the service of the United States, whose specified term of service has not expired," etc. The list returned by the Selectmen, pursuant to this Order, was again an imperfect one. But in view of the fact that it was the list accepted by the State authoritest and by the Town as true, it is given in this volume without alteration. The most material errors in it are as follows : It claims eleven men as in the 4th, 5th, and 6th Regiments. These were all three months' Regiments which on the expira- 38 THE RECORD OF ANDOVER [1862. tion of their term of service, nearly or quite a year previous, had been mustered out. Baker and Hanson had re-enlisted in the 1st Company of Sharp-Shooters, and Marland in the 2d Battery, and the name of Frorz is not found in either Regiment, Costello's name appears in the 14th where he belonged, and again in the 22d. Welch was not in the 11th ; the Regiment to which he belonged, if any, is unknown. The name of John Johnson in the 14th, probably should have been Solon Johnson. On the' other hand the names of a large number of men, whose, "specified terms of service had not expired," were omitted. Of these, some had died in the service, some had been discharged for disability ; but by far the larger number still remained in active service. A list of these omitted names will be found on a subsequent page. The other errors are perhaps unimportant, and consist principally in placing some twelve men, more or less, in Regiments to which they did not belong. It was ascertained early in August that this town's quota of nine months' men would be about twenty-three, the Town authorities without awaiting the official notification of its quota, proceeded without delay to enlist that number of men, and before the publication (October 1st) of General Order No. 52, assigning to the several cities and towns their respec tive quotas, tliere had been mustered into service the follow ing , Roll of Nine Months' Volunteers, mustered into Service in response to General Order No. 38, of August 2lst, and in anticipation of General Order No. 52, of October 1st.

Complaints having been made that cities and towns whose quotas of nine months' men were not completed were induc ing inhabitants of other places, by the payment of large bounties, to enlist to their credit, and were also claiming credit for men omitted in the returns called for by General Order No. 38, the Governor issued the following Order. COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS. Headquarters, Boston, Oct/1, 1862. General Order No. 52. Ordered, That the numbers qf the militia to be furnished by the several towns and ci,ties for nine months' service, in accordance with General Order No. 51, and in answer to the call of the President of the United States, dated August 4, 1862, be those stated opposite their respective names in the third column of figures in the Schedule herewith published. Ordered, That the Selectmen, or Mayor and Aldermen of tliose towns and cities which shall furnish, as a part of their- proportion for such nine months' service, men who are in habitants of other places, return to the office of the Adjutant- General on or before the eleventh day of October, instant, a sworn statement of the names of such men, with the places of their residence, and the Regiments iu which they shall have enlisted, together with the written consent of the Select men, or Mayor and Aldermen of tlie town or city in which they may reside. Ordered, That the Selectmen, or Mayor and Aldermen of towns and cities claiming credit towards their quotas of nine months' men, for men enlisted for three years and not named in the previous returns called for by General Order No. 38, return to the office of the Adjutant-General on or before the eleventh day of October, instant, a supplementary statement, under oath, of such additional names, and the Regiments into which they have enlisted. By order of his Excellency, John A. Andrew, Governor and Commander-in-Chief.

Headquarters, Boston, Nov. 1, 1862. General Order No. 56. Whereas, Since the promulgation of General Order No. 52, fixing the numbers of the militia to be furnished by the several towns and cities for nine months' service, in answer to the call of the President of the United States, dated Aug. 4, 1862, a portion of those towns and cities have been allowed, upon their petition, setting forth equitable reasons therefor, to have the names of men stricken from their lists of enrolled militia as exempts from draft, numbering in the aggregate (4097) four thousand and ninety-seven, by whicli means deductions have been made from the numbers to be furnished, amounting in all to (1802) eighteen hundred and two ; and Whereas, Since the promulgation of said General Order, credits have been allowed to several towns and cities for men previously in service who had been omitted from their pre vious returns, amounting in all to (1952) nineteen hundred and fifty-two, and Whereas, These two classes of allowances have diminished the number of nine months' men furnished by the Common wealth to the extent of (3754) thirty-seven hundred and fifty- four men, and a new apportionment is thereby rendered necessary to supply the deficiency, which it , is estimated will be about (2000) two thousand, after deducting the surpluses of those places which have exceeded the number required of them, and Whereas, Several other towns and cities have represented that, from their not understanding its importance or effect, 42 THE RECORD OF ANDOVER [1862. they neglected to have stricken from their rolls the names of persons entitled to be exempt from draft, thereby rendering their proportions higher than those of other places- where more attention was paid to that subject, and Whereas, Several towns and cities have represented that of the number, of men whom they have in service, a large portion are aliens, and persons not liable to draft, — which fact does not appear on their sworn returns of men in service, — and that in consequence, their relative capacity has been rated higher than it would have been if the facts had appeared on tlieir returns. Now therefore, For the purpose of a new apportionment to supply the deficiency above-mentioned, and to render the same as just and equal as possible, it is hereby Ordered, That the Drafting Commissioners, appointed by General Order No. 43, sit again to hear claims to exemption, in the manner directed by the instructions to the said Com missioners issued from the Executive Department of this Commonwealth under the date of September 5, 1862, and that they give notice of their hearings, revise the lists of enrolled militia, strike the names of exempts therefrom, and report to the Adjutant-General the number of names remain ing on lists of each city and town in their respective coun ties, in the manner directed by the said instructions. And it is further Ordered, That the Selectmen of every town, and the Mayor and Aldermen of every city who had, prior to the first day of October, 1862, returned to the Adjutant-General the names of any men enlisted in the military service of the United States who were aliens, or exempted from being drafted for any other reason not arising from their enlist ment, report to the Adjutant-General the names of all such enlisted persons so exempted, and the reasons of such exemp tion ; and it is further Ordered, That all reports and returns called for by this Order, be made to the Adjutant-General on or before the fifteenth day of November, instant, and that no report or re- 1862.] DURING THE REBELLION. 43 turn shaU be received or considered in making up such appor tionment, unless received by the Adjutant-Oeneral on or before the said fifteenth day of November, and that no revision of militia rolls, and no returns of men in service shall after wards be allowed to vary the said apportionment. Anp it is further Ordered, That each of the said Commissioners make a particular report of the cases, if any, in wliich they have reason to believe that certificates of physical disability have been improperly executed, in order that such cases may be investigated at Head-Quarters. Such certificates if found to be erroneous will not be conclusive. By order of his Excellency, John A. Andrew, Governor and Commander-in-Chief. WILLIAM SCHOULER, Adjutant-General. Nov. 22d.

Bodwell, John Cornell, and Warren F. Draper, to act in concert with the Selectmen in effecting specified measures. 44 the record of andover [1862. Nov. 29th. Mr. Draper, one of the Committee, and Mr. Asa A. Abbott, one of the Selectmen, subsequently waited upon the Governor, and presented the following petition. To his Excellency John A. Andrew, Governor of the State qf Massachusetts : The Selectmen of Andover on Tuesday last, the 25th in stant, called a meeting of the citizens at which they announced the fact that, by an Order (No. 58) from the State authorities, the Town was called upon to furnish more men to fill its quota for nine months' service ii^the United States Armies. The citizens were startled and mortified by the an nouncement of a deficiency of nearly double the number of the first call which they had fully filled, and with alacrity. As neither the Selectmen nor other citizens were able to ex plain the fact, a Committee of investigation was appointed. In the brief time which has since elapsed, the following facts have been developed. First, That the Selectmen acting under orders from the State authorities, liave made a return of the names of two hundred and twenty-two men from this town who were in the three years' military service of the United States previous to the call for the nine months' quota. Second, That they have returned the names of twenty- three men to fill the nine months' quota, being the whole number called for by the Order ofthe State under the previous apportionment. Third, That there are not less than thirty, and we believe there are nearly forty more names on the regimental rolls at the State House belonging to Andover, several of whose families have received and are receiving State Aid through the agency of the Selectmen of Andover, but whose names have not been returned to the State authorities, a list of which names, together with the Regiments and Companies in which they serve, is hereto annexed. Fourth, That adequate notice of the times and places for obtaining exemptions has not been given to the enrolled in- 1862.] during the rebellion. 45 habitants of the town since the first apportionment was filled, while the impression has prevailed that the quota of the town was filled ; and consequently few have known the importance, or have embraced the opportunity, of claiming exemptions. Fifth, That during the interval between the first and second apportionment of nine months' quotas, several cities and towns of this State, particularly those whicli had failed promptly to fill up their quotas under the first apportion ment, have employed the interval in obtaining exemptions for their citizens, in some cases paying the Surgeon's fees from the public treasury, and by other means encouraging persons to claim exemption, thereby reducing their quotas in the new apportionment, while Andover, whose quota was early filled, has not been aware of these efforts, and has not made corresponding exertions. Thus great inequality has been produced in the new apportionment, and great injustice will be done by the enforcement of a draft under it. An unequal burden will be imposed upon those towns most prompt in responding to the early calls of the Government As an illustration, we state that the. enrolled militia of Andover, aside from those in service, as appears by the returns in the office of the Commissioners, number three hundred and seventy ; of whom thirty-seven have been exempted or just one in ten, while the neighboring town of North Andover has two hundred and ninety-four enrolled, of whom seventy- six are exempted, more than one in four of their enrolment. It can be shown that, had proper returns been made by those in service from Andover, and had the efforts been made to obtain exempts here that have been made in some other towns, Andover would have to-day a surplus above all demands upon her. If it be objected that the Town of Andover in common with all the rest has had an opportunity to correct its returns, and that if its Selectmen have failed or neglected to make full returns, the responsibility rests upon the Town ; it is un fortunate, but not unjust, we reply, that the Selectmen are in this matter the appointees of the State authorities, that 46 the record of andover [1862. they have not submitted their doings to the Town. No com plete list of Andover soldiers, or list of men returned to the office of the State authorities has been accessible in the town ; consequently, the citizens have remained to a great extent, in ignorance of the doings of the Selectmen under the belief that the quota of the town was full. Justice seems to de mand that at least credit should be given to the town for tliose she had sent to the war, that her citizens should not be subjected to the mortification and cruelty of an unjust draft, after so promptly answering the calls of the Government for men, in consequence of the omission or oversight of those whom the State itself appointed to conduct these matters. We, therefore, pray your Excellency that a further oppor tunity be given to Andover to make additional returns of her men in service, and for further exemptions. ASA A. ABBOTT, one of the Selectmen. W. F. DRAPER, one ofthe Committee. Andover, Nov. 29, 1862. Dec. 1st. A Town Meeting was hold to act on the following Articles. Article 2d. — To see what action the Town will take to fill up the quota of men called for from this town, for the Military Service of the United States by General Order No. 58. Article 3d. — To act on any other business that may legally come before said meeting. Took up Article 2d, and the following report was made. By a, recent Order (No. 58) from the State, dated Nov. 22d, the town of Andover is called upon to furnish forty-two more men to fill up the quota of nineteen thousand and eighty to be sent from this State under the last call from the Government; and in case this number of forty-two is not otherwise furnished and mustered into service before the 8th of December, instant, the deficiency will be supplied by a draft, to commence on that day, at nine o'clock. On receiv- 1862.] DURING THE REBELLION. 47 ing the Order the Selectmen called a meeting of the citizens last Tuesday evening. Several questions arose at that meet ing which could not then be satisfactorily answered, and a Committee was chosen to make investigation. This Committee ascertained that the names of several An dover men, who were, and are now in service, had not been returned to the State authorities, and consequently had not been credited to the Town in making out its quota called for by the Order above mentioned. Could these names now be returned they would reduce the quota accordingly. It was found that, during the interval between the first enrolment and the second closing of the returns (Nov. 15), some towns had encouraged their citizens to obtain exemptions at the expense of the town treasury, thereby greatly reducing their quota, while Andover had made no corresponding effort to exempt its citizens. These facts were communicated to the Governor, accom panied by a petition that further opportunity might be allowed to Andover to make her returns of men in the ser vice, and for its citizens to claim exemption. A formal answer has not been received to this petition. But the Adjutant-General and the Governor submitted a report upon another case, involving the same principles which govern our own, wherein the conclusion is reached that no relief can be granted. The Town of Andover having had equal oppor tunity with all others in the State, must submit to whatever inconvenience any failure on its own part may subject it. The Committee have made efforts to ascertain how many of its citizens have entered the service, who can be made avail able toward making up the forty-two men lacking of its quota, according to General Order No. 58. It is believed that there are such men. If these are accepted there still remain men to be furnished to fill the quota from this town. Where upon, it was Voted, That a complete list of the enrolled militia of this town be entered in a book suitable for the purpose ; in which the exempts shall be designated by drawing a red line through 48 THE RECORD OF ANDOVER. [1862. their names as ordered by the State in its rolls. Also, that there shall be made a complete list of men in the service, who are counted to the Town as part of its quotas ; to which shall be added from time to time, the name of every man' who shall contribute any part of any' quota called for from this town, together with the Regiment and Company wliich he joined, the date of his being mustered into service, of his discharge, death, etc., as far as can be ascertained ; and that this book shall be kept at the Town House for inspection, at suitable times, for all citizens of the town. Voted, That a Committee acting in conjunction with the Selectmen, be chosen to prepare, and keep these lists. Voted, That a Committee of one or more persons be chosen from each school district, to aid in obtaining these names and facts, and report the same to the recording Committee ; also to aid the Selectmen in procuring enlistments to fill the quota of the town under General Order No. 58.

A Meeting of the Citizens was held iu the Town Hall in the evening for the purpose of forming a Union League. Peter Smith was chosen temporary Chairman, and John Cornell, Secretary. The meeting was addressed by Peter Smith, Rev. Mr. Colver, Amos Abbott, George Foster, A. J. Gould, and others, when the following Resolutions and Articles were adopted unanimously. Resolved, That in these solemn hours of peril to the Re public, which is menaced by a rebellion of unparalleled mag nitude and atrocity, and by the suspicious attitude of foreign nations, it is the duty of all citizens to support cordially and unswervingly the measures adopted for the maintenance of the Government, in all its departments, by those who have been chosen to administer its offices. And whereas, there are many manifestations in several of the Northern States of a defiant and factious spirit of opposition to the Administra tion, and of sympathy for the cause of the Rebels, now therefore, Resolved, That we deplore the existence of this treasonable spirit. We denounce the expression of any sympathy with the rebellion as reckless, insolent, and wanton approval of the greatest crime in history ; and holding these manifesta tions to be dangerous to the well-being of the Republic, and to the cause of civil liberty throughout the world, we unite in declaring that we will not give aid or support to any per son, circulate or encourage the publication of any book or paper, or approve of or countenance any public appeals which are employed in defending the rebellion, or any of the steps thereto, or attacking the Administration, or any of the measures it has adopted for carrying on the war, — a war brought about solely by traitors and rebels, and whicli must be continued till the final suppression of the rebellion. And be it further Resolved, That whereas it is at all times magnanimous conduct, but now especially the solemn duty of all patriots, to bear cheerfully the public burdens, to aid and encourage 54 THE RECORD OF ANDOVER [1863. the ministers of the Government in the performance of their responsible and often painful duties, and to exhibit a spirit of liberality and fraternity toward all honest and patriotic political opponents ; now therefore, we invite all good citizens to join with us in the earnest efforts, whicli we pledge our selves to make, to promote the patriotic objects set forth in these resolutions. And to that end, we constitute ourselves an Association to be called " The Andover Union League," and to be organized as follows : Article 1st. — The Organization shall consist of a Presi dent, five Vice-presidents, Treasurer, and Secretary. Article 2d. — lt shall be the object of the Association to encourage and disseminate patriotic sentiments in our social intercourse by public addresses, and by printed publications. Article 3d. — The conditions of membership shall be, un qualified loyalty to the Constitution of the United States, and unwavering support of the Federal Government in what ever efforts it may use for the suppression of the rebellion, and subscription to these Resolutions and Articles, with the annual payment of fifty cents towards defraying the expenses of the League. A Committee chosen for the purpose, reported the follow ing permanent officers. President, — Francis Cogswell. Vice-Presidents, — Samuel C. Jackson, William Jenkins, Willard Pike, George Foster, and Isaac Carruth. Secretary and Treasurer, — Samuel Raymond. A vote was passed directing the Secretary to procure the printing of the Resolutions and Articles of Association in season for the next meeting, which was to be held in the Town Hall on the next Monday evening at half-past seven o'clock. April 29th.

A Provost Marshal-General for the State, and Assistant Provost-Marshals for the several Congressional Districts were appointed at Washington to conduct the draft ; no authority was conferred upon them to accept Volunteers. A Board was also established to make an enrol ment of all males in the State between the ages of twenty and forty-five years. It hardly need be stated that the enforcement of this law was obnoxious and distasteful to the people who had so gen erously responded to all calls of their Governor for Volun teers to sustain the cause of the Union ; to this and the high rate of physical ability required of the conscript was to be attributed the failure of the draft.

Sept. 10th. The Secretary of the " Soldiers' Aid Society of Andover" made the following Report. The first public meeting of the " Soldiers' Aid Society " was held in the Town Hall June 24, 1863 ; since which ten meetings have been held. From thirty to sixty ladies have usually been present. Three hundred and sixty-seven articles have been cut out of cotton cloth, etc., bought for this purpose. And numer ous towels, handkerchiefs, caps, slippers, etc., and several- dressing-gowns have been cut and made from .material not bought, but given to the Society. Five hundred and seventeen articles have been sent to the Sanitary Commission Rooms in Boston to be forwarded to the Soldiers ; also over fifty bottles and jars of wines, jellies, pickles, etc., and a barrel of dried apples. 1863.] DURING THE REBELLION. 59 Two hundred and seventy dollars and seventy-five cents have been received in monthly subscriptions, eighty-five dol lars and forty-eight cents in donations, and one dollar, and thirty cents from other sources.

Since writing this report another closely-packed barrel, and a box of wines and jellies have been forwarded by the Com mittee to the Sanitary Committee Rooms in Boston. Oct. 29th. The President of the United States, under date of October 17th, issued a call for 300,000 Volunteers to serve for three years, or the war. The quota assigned to Massa chusetts was 15,126. By the Governor's General Order No.. 30, this Town's quota was thirty-eight. Dec. 14th. A Town Meeting was held to act on the follow- in Articles. Article 2d. — To see what sum of money the Town will appropriate co pay the necessary expenses of recruiting its quota of soldiers under the last call of the President. Article 3d. — To see if the Town will choose a Committee to aid the Selectmen in securing enlistments. • Took up Article 2d, and Voted, That the Town Treasurer be authorized to pay, if necessary, for expens.es in recruiting, a sum not exceeding fifteen dollars for new -recruits, and twenty-five dollars for veterans that shall be accepted as the quota of this town ; it being understood that the above-mentioned sums will be paid by the United States Government for said recruits.

The Annual Town Meeting was held this day. Article 16th. — To see if the Town will continue to pay State Aid to the families of Volunteers, as provided for by the Laws of this Commonwealth relating thereto. Voted, To continue State Aid to the families of Volunteer Soldiers, the same as heretofore. March 31st. Report of the Andover Soldiers' Aid Society for the six months ending March 9th, 1864. Meetings for sewing have been held regularly once a fortnight ; from twenty to thirty have usually (except in bad weather), been present; many who have not attended the meetings have taken work to be done at home. During this time the Society has received by monthly sub scriptions $327.12 ; by donations $40.95, in all 1368.07. With this money has been purchased cotton cloth and flannel for shirts, sheets, and drawers, delaine for dressing:gowns, bagging for bed-sacks, crash and yarn. The balance in the treasury on the first of March was $29.16. The Society has made and forwarded to the Sanitary Com mission for the Soldiers five hundred articles or more, besides nearly one hundred yards of bandages. In addition, there has been sent numerous second-hand articles of clothing, shirts, sacks, coats, etc. ; also several packages of cocoa, farina, corn-starch, coffee, various bottles of tamarinds, catsup, and wine, jars of jelly, pickles, etc., and seventy-three pounds of dried apples. It is a matter of regret that the uncomfortable weather and walking of the last two or three months have prevented the ladies of the Society from accomplishing nearly as much as they otherwise would have done. In closing our report we cannot but express a hope that each member, male and female, of the Society will, for the good of the Soldiers, and for the honor of Andover, feel in duty bound to increase its usefulness and success. We have been warned by the Sanitary Commission that 62 THE RECORD OF ANDOVER [1864. heavy drafts will be made on it by the opening spring cam paigns. It desires to be prepared. It can only be prepared when each Soldiers Aid Society does its best. "Andover, stir up the gift that is within you." By order of the Executive Committee.

The law referred to by General Schouler in his circular of March 31st, was but a partial allowance of the claim which Governor Andrew had been pressing for a long time upon the attention of Congress. By untiring energy and an earnest personal appeal, he was successful in carrying through Con gress the Acts of July 4th, 1864, allowing naval credits and recruiting in disloyal States. The substance of the first of these Laws is found in the following letter, a copy of which was addressed to each Commissioner. War Department, Provost Marshal-General's Office, Washington, D.C, July 7, 1864. His Excellency John A. Andrew, Governor, etc. Sir, — Section 8 of the Act approved July 4, 1864, "fur ther to regulate and provide for the enrolling and calling out of the National Forces, and for other purposes," is as follows: 1864.] DURING THE REBELLION. 63 " That all persons in the Naval service of the United States, who have entered said service during the present rebellion, who have not been credited to the quota of any town, district, ward, or State, by reason of their being in said service and not enrolled prior to Feb. 24, 1864, shall be enrolled and credited to the quotas of the town, ward, district, or State in which they respectively reside, upon satisfactory proof of their residence made to the Secretary of War." The Secretary of War hereby appoints your Excellency and Hon. John H. Clifford, a Commission to ascertain what credits the State of Massachusetts and the different sub-divis ions of the State are entitled to, under the law given above. In determining this question, the Secretary thinks it will be fair to presume that the State in which Naval enlistments have been made is entitled to the credit for those enlistments, unless it shall appear by more direct evidence that the credits belong elsewhere ; the points of law to be observed in apply ing the Act quoted will readily be perceived by the Com mission. Major F. N. Clarke, acting Assistant Provost Marshal-Gen eral for Massachusetts, will represent the United States. JAMES B. FRYE, Prov. Mar. Gen. July 21st. The Governor issued a second circular-letter requiring the municipal officers of the cities and towns to return to the Adjutant-General's office, on or before the 10th day of August, a sworn list of their residents who have entered the Naval service, as stated in the Act of Congress. Municipal officers who have already made complete, suffi cient, and correct returns of such persons in the Naval service in response to a circular of the Adjutant-General of the 31st of March last, are not required to repeat the same ; but those who wish to correct the same can do so. As Congress did not pass the Law until July 4th, and as a draft was to be made early in September, it became of much importance that the number of Naval credits due to 64 THE RECORD OF ANDOVER [1864. Massachusetts should be known and properly distributed without delay. In order to ascertain the number of men who had enlisted for the Navy in Massachusetts it was necessary to copy the rolls on board the receiving ship Ohio, at the Charlestown Navy Yard ; when this was done it showed that the total number enlisted from April 13, 1861, to Feb. 24, 1864, was twenty-two thousand three hundred and sixty. The returns made in response to the above circular, and that of March 31st, showed that the whole number claimed by cities and towns was sixteen thousand one hundred and eighty-one ; being six thousand one hundred and seventy- nine less than the number copied from the rolls of the receiving ship. The instructions given by the Commissioners to their clerks were : First, To credit only those who had joined the service subsequent to the rebellion. Second, Only those who had joined the service at some rendezvous in the State. Third, When a man was claimed by two or more cities or towns, neither city or town was to receive the credit, but the credit in dispute was to be given to the State at large. The application of these rules reduced the credits claimed by the cities and towns, on the retur,ns made by the Mayors and Selectmen, from sixteen thousand one hundred and eighty- one, to eleven thousand seven hundred and nineteen, 11,719 leaving the number credited to the State at large, and to be distributed, pro rata, to the credit of cities and towns of the State, ten thousand six hundred and forty-one, 10.641 Total number of enlistments copied from the rolls of the Ohio, 22,360 When the claim of this town for Naval enlistments was subjected to the above rules, it will be seen that Lindsey and Morse were excluded by the 2d, while Midgeley, 1864.] DURING THE REBELLION. 65 Welch, Gibbs, Hayward, Piatt, and Lovejoy, all being " claimed by two or more cities or towns," were credited to the State at large. As Smith and Abbott were commis sioned officers their names did not appear on the Com missioners' roll. In the case of Abbott, it does appear, how ever, that there was found an unclaimed man with a similar name, who was allowed to the credit of the town, as a part of its quota.

Resolved, That this Committee report at the adjournment of this meeting, three weeks from to-day. March 25th. Adjourned Town Meeting. The following opinion from the Attorney-General was submitted by the Committee. Bostox, Jan. 25, 1867. Hon. Geo. Foster, Chairman of a Committee of the Town of Andover. Dear Sir, — My opinion is asked respecting three classes of claims made upon the Town of Andover by men, or by the families of men, who served from Andover, or on the quota of Andover, during a portion of the time covered by the late rebellion. As I understand it, the claims are these : First, At Town Meetings held in Andover on the sixth of 12 90 THE RECORD OP ANDOVER [1867. May, and on the eighth of July, A.D. 1861, the Town, among other things, voted to pay the family of each Volun teer the sum of eight dollars per month, as long as such Volunteer continued in service. [This is the substance, though not the exact language, of the vote passed at the meeting in May, and ratified in July]. It is claimed that, by virtue of this vote, the town is bound in law or equity, or both, to pay this sum to such families from the sixth of August, A.D. 1861 (at which time pay ments under the vote ceased to be made), to the time when the service of each Volunteer was ended. Second, There was distributed and posted up in the town, by authority of the Selectmen, as it is said, and as I shall assume to be true, a band-bill, the material portions of which are as follows : The bounties now offered to recruits to fill up the quota of Andover, amount to $210. The Government pays in advance, .... $25 00 The Government pays at the end of the service, . 75 00 The Town pays, 100 00 Messrs. Smith and Dove, 10 00 Amounting to $210 00 [Dated] Andover, July 19th, 1862. In fact the bounty offered by the Government was to those only who served two years. Some, or all of the men, enlist ing at this time from Andover, served less than two years (having been discharged by the Government, because of the substantial cessation of hostilities), and received none, or but a portion, ofthe Government bounty. These men now claim that the Town shall make their bounty up to $210. Third, Volunteers from Andover re-enlisted in the field in the latter part of the year 1863, and in the year 1864, prior to the sixteenth of May of that year. On the sixteenth of May, 1864, the Town voted (in substance), to authorize 1867.] DURING THE REBELLION. 91 the Selectmen to expend $125 for each recruit necessary to fill the Town's quota. Before this vote was passed, many of the towns in the State had been paying the same sum to re- enlisting men. It is said that citizens of Andover, both private and official, expressed the opinion, and, perhaps, promised persons who had re-enlisted, and who afterwards re-enlisted, that Andover would do as well by such persons as other Towns did. The claim is that these persons, so re-enlisting as I have described, are now entitled to receive from the Town the bounty of $125. The hand-bill which I have alluded to, and the votes of the Town upon these subjects, have been put into my hands, in addition to the facts above stated. It is on this case, and these facts, that my opinion is asked. I may say in the outset upon the general question involved in these claims, that the power of Towns to raise and appro priate money is to be exercised only within the limits pre scribed by the Statutes of the Commonwealth. And it was long ago determined by the Supreme Court of this Common wealth in the case, Stetson vs. Kempton, 13 Mass. 272, that Towns have no authority in times of war and danger of hos tile invasion to raise money for additional wages to soldiers or for other purposes of defence. This decision, except as it has been modified by subsequent acts of legislation, is the law. As to the first class of cases. In the light of the decision which I have just referred to, the vote of the Town passed on the sixth of May, 1861, was undoubtedly illegal. The Legislature, however, on the twenty-second of May, 1861, by an Act then passed (chap. 222 of the Acts of 1861), ratified the contract made by the Town by this vote, so far as to authorize payments under it to a certain limited extent. This Act provided that the contract so made should terminate at the end of ninety days from its date, or from the date of a subsequent enlistment made under the contract. 92 THE RECORD OP ANDOVER [1867. I understand that all such contracts made by the Town of Andover expired by virtue of this Act as early as August 6th, 1861. I think the Town is not only not bound to make any pay ments under this vote for a service subsequent to August 6th, but that no such payment can legally be made. The vote of the Town on the eighth of July, 1861, passed as it was after the before-named Act of the Legislature, which (by section 3) expressly forbade such payments to Soldiers, is merely void. It enacted no contract and would authorize no payment. So I am of opinion that the first class of claims is un founded. As to the claims of the second class. In my judgment the hand-bill, even if it had been signed by the Selectmen, and even if they had authority to bind the Town, cannot be construed as a promise or agreement by the Town to pay the Government bounty. The whole effect of it is, that the Town agree to pay a certain sum ; and it con tains the statement that the Government have agreed to pay a certain sum, and Smith and Dove a certain sum. These sums, together, make up the $210, which is the amount which the hand-bill states is now offered to Andover recruits. The hand-bill contains no contract that the Town will pay the bounties offered by the Government, or by Smith and Dove, if they should fail to pay. The only ground on which it can be pretended that the Town is either equitably or legally bound, is that the hand-bill (still supposing it to have been authorized or signed by the Selectmen), does not state things truly, and that men enlisting were misled by it. The hand-bill states, in substance, that the Government will pay to recruits a bounty of $100. In fact, this bounty was payable only to those who served two years. This was not so stated in the hand-bill. If any persons were misled by this, and 1 shall assume that there were such, then the case would stand somewhat as it would if Smith and Dove had never promised to pay the sum stated in the hand-bill, 1867.] DURING THE REBELLION 93 and persons misled by such statement, and because of such statement, had enlisted. If the Selectmen, knowing that Smith and Dove had made no such promise, had falsely stated in such a hand-bill that they had so promised, and persons had been misled by this statement, and had enlisted in consequence of it, the Town would not have been in any ¦way liable. It would have been fraud on the part of the Selectmen, but the Town would not be responsible. In the actual case before us, no one will contend or pre tend that any fraud was intended. Everybody reading the hand-bill knew that whatever the Government had promised was by virtue of some Act of Congress, or by some Procla mation from the President or the War Department. No one reading the hand-bill would suppose that it stated anything but a very brief epitome of such Act or Proclamation ; and every one would suppose that for particulars, for modifica tions, for qualifications, for modes, and times, and conditions of payment, he must go to the document itself. With the views that were then entertained by the commu nity as to the duration of the war, no one issuing such a hand-bill would have supposed that the fact that the bounty was payable only in the event of two years service was of any consequence. Every one then supposed that the rebellion would last a longer time than that, and the Government itself indicated the same belief by calling for enlistments for three years. Even if there had been knowingly made by the Selectmen a false statement, with the intention to deceive, and if per sons had been deceived, as I have before said, the Town would not be responsible. How much less, then, is the Town responsible when there was no intention to deceive, and when no one could be deceived unless grossly negligent himself ? I have assumed that persons were misled by the hand-bill. It would probably be found, however, that no person enlisted without well-knowing that the Government bounty was only payable on two years' service. 94 THE RECORD OP ANDOVER [1867. I am of opinion that the Town is no way liable for, and, moreover, cannot legally pay the claims of the second class. Even if the Town should now vote to pay these claims, I think such vote would be illegal, and that the money could not lawfully be paid in virtue of it. As to the claims of the third class. The only authority which Towns have or had to pay the bounties asked for by these claimants, is derived from the Act of March 18th, 1864 (Chap. 103, 1864). That Act, Sec. 1, authorizes a Town to raise money for the purpose of procuring its quota called for under the Orders of the President, dated October 17th, 1863, and February 1st, 1864, and that the amount raised shall not exceed $125 for each person enlisted after the passage of this Act. Section 2, of the same Act, provides that all sums raised under this Act shall be assessed at the next annual assessment, which would be the assessment of 1865. Under this Act the Town might have raised sufficient money to pay $125 to each person enlisting after March 18th, 1864, and no more. The Town, however, passed no vote to raise any money or make any payment under this, Act until May 16th, 1864, and this vote authorized the ex penditure only of $125 for " each recruit necessary to fill our quota." Persons enlisting after that date, and to whom the promise was made of this sum, even by the Selectmen, are entitled to it, undoubtedly. Persons enlisting before that time, and especially persons enlisting before the Act of March 18th, 1864, can have no possible claim under any vote of the Town submitted to me. And I do not think it would be possible for the Town now to pass any vote whicli would enable it, legally, to pay this bounty to those men, if any, who enlisted between March 18th, 1864, and May 16th, 1864. The year 1865, in wliich any money raised under this Act must have been assessed, is past, and the power of the Towns to proceed under it is ended. It may be said that the terms 1867.] DURING THE REBELLION. 95 " at the next annual assessment," used in the second section, means the next annual assessment after the appropriation of such money, and that money may now be appropriated and assessed at the next annual assessment now coming. The only effect of such a construction, and a vote now passed by the Town, would be to authorize the payment of this bounty to such as enlisted between March 18th and May 16th, 1864. But, as I have said, I do not think this the correct con struction of the Act. I think the assessment intended was the assessment of 1865. This Act was designed as a temporary and war measure, and to enable the Towns to meet the then pressing exigency, and to enable Towns then to procure their quotas. I am, therefore, of opinion that the Town of Andover can not legally pay the claims of the third class. I have discussed these questions with more detail and at greater length than I intended, or than was perhaps ne cessary. But as I went on, and remembered that it was the people of the Town, and not a single individual, to whom the opinion is addressed, and who are to be satisfied and con vinced, if possible, I thought this full consideration of the questions would possibly be more acceptable than a much briefer one. Yours, truly, CHESTER I. REED. The Committee desire to say that they have endeavored to consider the Soldiers' claims with fairness and impartiality. Finding them in the aggregate to amount to about thirty thousand dollars, it seemed important to obtain a legal opin ion on these questions of the highest authority. They there fore submitted all the facts in the case to the Attorney- General of the State. His very able and elaborate opinion upon these claims will be read with interest ; and the dis- 96 THE RECORD OP ANDOVER [1867. tinguished source from whence it emanated will give it much weight and importance. All of which is respectfully submitted to the citizens of Andover. GEORGE FOSTER, EDWARD TAYLOR, ASA A. ABBOTT, BENJAMIN BOYNTON, r Committee. WILLIAM S. JENKINS, . JOHN B.
