50 - HISTORY OF ASHTABULA COUNTY, OHIO. ham and Dr. Coleman reached Fort Stephenson, having been four days without anything to eat, and under extreme fatigue and excitement. Hayes had encountered the Indians, who were numerous in the vicinity of Fort Meigs. Shifting his course, be came across another company, which be avoided, and deeming it a hopeless effort again to meet his companions, struck for Fort Stephenson, which he reached in two days. After their return dispatches were received showing the cause of this danger. The British general, Proctor, with two thousand men, had commenced bombarding Fort Meigs, and the Indians had been let loose upon the surrounding country, to aid, by means of plunder, burning, and massacre, in subduing the fort and prosecuting the war. The following letter from Titus hayes, of Wayne, best explains the nature of the service in the northwestern army during the War of 1812: "Lower SANDUSKY, May 17, 1812. " I have been with the army since the 22d of August last ; have been home in March, on furlough ; expect a discharge soon. My health has been good since I have been with the army. Ere this reaches you, you will no doubt have an official account of the siege of Fort Meigs, situate at the rapids of the Miami of the lake. This affair has coot the British more than the surrender of General Hull's army and our western posts have benefitted them. The Indians are disheartened, and call them cowards. Our loss in killed at the fort and at the different sallies, is about eighty men ; the number of wounded I do not know, but probably is very considerable. Major Stoddard, of the artillery, has died of his wounds. I have been in company with a captain of the Ohio troops, who was sent by General Harrison as a guide to the Kentuckians to storm the batteries opposite our fort, on the opposite side of the river. From him I have the particulars of that engagement. Our loss, notwithstanding they succeeded in carrying the batteries and spiking the cannon, is very great ; but few got safe into our fort. This disaster is imputed to disobedience of General Harrison's orders and the want of discipline in the troops. About four hundred and fifty of the unfortunate captives lately landed at Huron. Both officers and soldiers had been stripped of their clothing and were in a most destitute situation ; many of them without shirts, and scarcely a hat or a shoe among them. The captain above mentioned was severely wounded and taken prisoner, but escaped the gauntlet of the savages by the friendly treatment of the British regulars. The savages killed—says my informant—ninety-nine of our men after they surrendered. Two British soldiers were killed and several wounded in attempting to stop the inhuman butchery. Since the battle of Tippecanoe, in 1811, the number of our savage foes has increased nearly tenfold. It will now require a formidable army to contend with them, but it is to be hoped that the communication between the British and their savage allies will soon be cut off, which will of course stop the progress of these ferocious creatures. " Your most affectionate brother, " TITUS HAYES. To NOAH AND STATIRA MERRICK, "Wilbraham, Mass." Our thanks are due E. A. Wright, Esq., of Rook Creek, for roll of Captain James Stone's company, and for the following incidents of the War of 1812: At the battle of River Raisin, General Winchester entered into the engagement contrary to General Harrison's orders, not waiting for reinforcements ; consequently, there was great slaughter. General Harrison called for volunteers to go and get permission from the British to bury the dead. Robert Lamont, of this county, stepping from the ranks, said he would carry the flag of truce if necessary. The flag was put over the door of the cabin where he was to remain during the night. The Indians broke open the door, and shot him. Guy Humphrey, of this county, was on guard at the mouth of Cuyahoga river, when in the dim light he saw, as he supposed, a canoe, containing an Indian, approaching. Watching it closely, he thought it prudent to hail him. " Who comes there?" was shouted to the supposed enemy. No response being given he fired his musket, but that producing no effect, he reloaded and fired again. By this time all was commotion in camp, and preparations were made for an attack. Colonel King sent out a squad of men to reconnoitre, who found the cause of alarm to be a large black log that was washed ashore by the dead Awe]] of the lake. Humphrey was duly commended for his prompt discharge of duty and for his courage as a soldier. David Wright, first sergeant under Captain James Stone, was at a barn-raising, when a messenger rode up, inquiring if the captain of the militia company was present. The reply was, " No, but the lieutenant is." The messenger said, " I am General Wadsworth's aid, and have orders to call out the militia en masse, General Hull having surrendered to General Brock, who has threatened with his twenty-five hundred regulars and a horde of Indians to sweep the shore of Lake Erie from Detroit to Buffalo. I give you orders to call out the Second Company, Second Battalion, Third Regiment, Fourth Brigade, to report at Cleveland forthwith, to repel the enemy." Lieutenant Atkins, turning to Sergeant Wright, said, " You are commanded to notify our company to meet at your home at ten o'clock to-morrow morning, armed and equipped for active service." Leaving for home immediately, he mounted his horse and notified every man before he slept, it being nearly sundown when he started, having to go over the townships of Morgan and Rome to execute his orders. The next morning, which was that of Sunday, the old men were early at work making cartridges with bullets,—something that many of the men had never before seen. A barrel of powder, with lead, had previously been obtained from Pittsburgh. At about noon the boots were mended, the old flint-lock muskets were put in order, the farewells wore spoken, and the line of march was taken for the seat of action. The first night the men encamped under the broad heavens, for they were without tents, without cooking utensils, with food only that each man carried in his pocket from home. At Austinburg they were joined by another company. The second night they encamped at Painesville, and on the next night marched into Cleveland to the sound of fife and drum. In the war for the Union during the great Rebellion, Ashtabula was prompt, patriotic, and decisive. Her citizens were in the first fire upon the Confederates at Philippi, and at the surrender at Appomattox. They were with Fremont in Missouri, with Benito in the Shenandoah valley, and with Rosecrans in Western Virginia. They fought with Hooker at Lookout Mountain, with Grant at Vicksburg, and marched with Sherman through Georgia and the Carolinas. Their blood stained the way from the Potomac to the James, from the Ohio to the Tennessee, from the Missouri to the Arkansas. At Kernstown, Port Republic, Cedar Mountain, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, and Antietam ; at Resaca, Kenesaw, and Chickamauga ; before Atlanta; Stone River, Shiloh, Perryville; Pea Ridge, Murfreesboro', and Malvern Hill ; Cloyd Mountain, Cedar Creek, and Five Forks; Spottsylvania, North Anna, and Petersburg, wherever a glorious record was made, there Ashtabula had brave men, who bore aloft her colors through the gloom of defeat as well as in the flush of victory. They trailed not in disgrace, but were borne forward by earnest and determined men. Northway, Luce, Kee, Stanhope, Spaulding, Manchester, Paulis, and Grant paid the penalty demanded of gallant officers who lead where brave men dare to follow. Ashtabula's dead lie in almost every battlefield strewn with the sons of the Republic, who died that it might live and be indeed the " land of the free." They suffered in the trench and in the hospital ; they starved in the prison-pen at Andersonville, at Libby, Belle Isle, and Salisbury ; they fell in the skirmish, on the picket-line, and in the charge, amid the roar of cannon and the rattle of musketry. Whatever sacrifice was demanded by the bloody Moloch of war, Ashtabula had a victim who was offered to the insatiable monster. Many are sleeping in unknown graves, where no family devotion can find them out, and where the Almighty only can cover them year by year with his grasses, and plant above them in the spring-time His beautiful flowers. They are "Home at last. * * * * * * * Tents on the Infinite Shore, Flag. In the azuline sky, Sails on the sea once more, To-day in the heaven on high, All under arms once more !" About the time the Geneva Artillery wan ordered to the frontier of the State the " wave of excitement" broke upon this county. The President's proclamation calling for seventy-five thousand men was Tnode public in this county on Monday evening, April 15, 1861. The people at once responded by a general movement for raising men. Captain Darius Cadwell, then holding a commission as brigadier-general in the old militia organization, repaired to Columbus to ascertain the best method of proceeding, when he found the quota of the State probably filled; yet he received assurance of the acceptance of some companies into regiments then organizing. At a meeting at the court-house in Jefferson, April 20, General Cadwell and Hon. Abel Krum, then a representative in the general assembly of Ohio frona this county. made statements of the condition of affairs, there being the plainest indication that more men would be wanted as rapidly as they could be enlisted. This was the first meeting worthy of note in the county called for the purpose of procuring three-months' volunteers for the war. It was presided over by Judge N. L. Chaffee, Rev. T. G. Lamb and Gillett Fowler acting as vice-presidents, and J. D. Ensign as secretary. At the dose of the meeting a call was made for volunteers, when sixty names were enrolled, Hon. B. F. Wade heading the list. This company organized and made choice of the following officers: Captain, Henry L. Hervey ; First Lieutenant, D. S. Wade ; Second Lieutenant, E. E. Ward. After attending the meeting previously mentioned, lion. Abel Krum visited Cherry Valley, Wayne, and Andover, announcing at the churches on Sunday the demand of the country for men, and calling for volunteers. The resuit of this labor was the enlistment of a large number of HISTORY OF ASHTABULA COUNTY, OHIO - 51 men in that section of the county, and shortly after a company was formed at West Andover, composed of ninety-four men, with E. D. Chapman, of Andover, as captain. John B. Rice, of Andover, first lieutenant, and Rollin L. Jones, of Wayne, as second lieutenant. A company was also organized at Kingsville, April 27, 1861, seventy-seven names being enrolled, and officered as follows: Samuel Hayward captain, W. Stevens first lieutenant, and L. G. Bannister second lieutenant. Five full companies of good men were ready to march from this county (not including the Geneva Artillery, already in the field) at the earliest hour that they could be received and equipped, amounting in the aggregate to four hundred and thirty-threemen. Of these companies but two could be accepted, as the quota of the State had been filled. The companies accepted were organized at Ashtabula and Rock Creek, and served in the Nineteenth Ohio Infantry, while the remainder disbanded. THE WOMEN'S WORK. It would be ungallant to pass by the heroic women of Ashtabula without paying them a tribute of praise and gratitude for their labors of love and mercy during the terrible years of 1861-65. Aid societies sprang up all over the county, wherein noble and self-sacrificing women banded together and prepared comforts for the well, dainties for the sick, and necessaries for the wounded. Fair hands were busy throughout the whole dreadful struggle. Early and late, in season and out of season, these angels of mercy toiled and gathered and forwarded to the soldiers at the front every comfort in their power to bestow. Too much praise cannot be given to the women of the north for their efforts to cheer and sustain the armies of the nation. It was the remark of gallant General Joseph Hooker that, during the Crimean war, England furnished but one Florence Nightingale, while here one was to be found in every northern household. On the same roll containing the name of the English heroine we are pleased to place the names of Misses Elizabeth A. Tuttle, Rebecca P. Dean, Laretta H. Cutler, and Ellen Udell, who shared in the dangers of war as nurses in army hospitals in the south. The following history of the regiments and batteries in which one organized company or more was incorporated we have compiled from Whitelaw Reid's "Ohio in the War." We are also underr great obligations to the editors of the Ashtabula Sentinel for the use of valuable files of their paper, containing extensive correspondence from soldiers in the field and their "Soldiers' Record of Ashtabula County." Also to Major H. J. Covell, Captain L. C. Reeve, and A. W. Stiles, of Rome, Captain M. B. Gray. of Cleveland, Herbert H. Tourgee, of Ida, Iowa, and others of the soldiers of Ashtabula. NINETEENTH OHIO INFANTRY (THREE MONTHS). This regiment numbered about one thousand men, and was mustered into the service at Camp Jackson, Columbus, the last week in May, 1861. Companies D and I were from Ashtabula County, the former under command of Captain R. W. Crane, and the latter of Captain W. B. Hoyt. These companies were ordered to rendezvous at Ashtabula, and await further orders. They remained at Ashtabula about three weeks, when they were removed to Camp Taylor, at Cleveland, and moved to the field via Columbus and Zanesville. After the organization of the regiment they went into the West Virginia campaign under General McClellan. The Confederate army, under General Robert S. Garnett, was concentrating in northwest Virginia, with a view to a junction with General H. A. Wise on the Kanawha. After the skirmish at Philippi, General Garnett took a position at Laurel Hill, where he fortified. General McClellan planned a flank movement that was successful in getting Garnett into a proper shape for an attack to be made by General Rosecrans' brigade, composed of the Eighth, Tenth, and Thirteenth Indiana, and Nineteenth Ohio Regiments. At Rich Mountain General Garnett had posted Colonel Pegram with a strong force. It was decided to attack this position first, and Colonel Rosecrans was sent to make a detour of eight or nine miles through the mountains to gain the turnpike in Pegram's rear. This much was successfully accomplished, but dispatches sent from McClellan to Rosecrans were captured, and the plan discovered. The Confederates were prepared for the attack, made on the 11th of July, and fought with great obstinacy. The position of the Nineteenth in this battle was a most trying one, but the men stood their first fire like veterans. The following is from the report of General Rosecrans: " The Nineteenth Ohio distinguished itself for the cool and handsome manner in which it held its post against a flank attack, and for the manner in which it came into line and delivered its fire near the close of the action." The Nineteenth was not mustered out of the service until September, 1861, on account of delays at the War Department. TWENTY-THIRD OHIO INFANTRY. At the commencement of the war, Grotius R. Giddings, son of lion. J. R. Giddings, was acting as vice-consul at Quebec, but as soon as the call for volunteers was made he resigned his post, returned home, and recruited a company, with a view of joining the infantry service as riflemen. The company was accepted, and received marching orders on the let of June, 1861, and on the 4th arrived at Camp Chase, and united with this regiment. Before leaving Jefferson it was presented with a splendid silk banner, in front of the court-house, by Miss Adeliza Hawley, who addressed the company on behalf' of the ladies who had prepared it. On the arrival of the company at Camp Chase, it was organized as Company B into the Twenty-third Regiment, which was officered as follows: colonel, William S. Rosecrans; lieutenant-colonel, Stanley Matthews; major, Rutherford B. Hayes. The position of these officers has been quite different since those days,—in fact, too well known to need repetition. Under command of Colonel E. P. Scammon, the Twenty-third went into active service in West Virginia, meeting with the new and exciting events common to inexperienced soldiers, which were almost forgotten amid the sterner and sad realities of active warfare. The regiment participated in the battles of Carnifax Ferry, Virginia, September 10, 1861 ; Giles Court-House, May 10, 1862; and had the honor of opening the battle of South Mountain, September 14, 1862, where it lost thirty-throe men killed and eighty wounded, among the latter being Rutherford B. Hayes, now President of the United States. As an incident of this battle it is said that the Twelfth and Twenty-third Ohio and Twelfth and Twenty-third North Carolina - Companies B on each side—were directly engaged with each other. The Twenty-third, under command of Lieutenant-Colonel Hayes, was in the advance on thathousehold.s ordered at an early hour to advance up the mountain and attack the enemy. From behind stone walls the enemy poured a destructive fire into the Federal ranks at very short range. The command of the Twenty-third fell upon Major Comley after Lieutenant-Colonel Hayes was wounded, the latter again making his appearance on the field, with his wound half-dressed, and fought, against the remonstrances of the whole command, until carried off. Near the close of the day at Antietam a charge was made by the division to which the Twenty-third belonged, and waextensiveto a large force of the enemy posted in a corn-field in rear of the left. Its colors were shot down, and at the same time a feint was made in its front. The colors were planted on a new line at right angles with its former front, and the regiment formed a line in the new direction, and opened fire upon the enemy, who retired. The division withdrew, but no order reached the Twenty-third, and it remained on the field until the division commander returned and ordered it to the rear. The Twenty-third assisted in heading off Morgan's command at Buffington's Island, and then returned to Charlestown, West Virginia, and afterwards joined General Crook's forces for a raid on the Virginia and Tennessee railroad. May 9, 1864, the Twenty-third fought at Cloyd Mountain. The enemy occupied the first crest of the mountain, defended by artillery and rudely-constructed breastworks. The hill was steep, thickly wooded, and difficult of ascent, and skirted by a stream of water two or three feet deep. At the word of command the regiment advanced across the stream to the foot of the mountain, under a heavy fire of musketry and artillery, without returning the fire of the enemy. A furious assault was made upon the enemy's works, carrying them, with two pieces of artillery. The struggle at the guns was of the fiercest description. The Confederate artillerymen attempted to reload their pieces when the Federal line was not more than tee paces distant. The Twenty-third was with Hunter in the attack on Lynchburg, and in numerous skirmishes and battles in the Shenandoah valley. At Winchester, July 24, 1864, it lost one hundred and fifty-three men. At the battle of Opequan, September 19, Hayes' brigade had the extreme right of the infantry. Moving forward under fire, the brigade came upon a deep slough, forty or fifty yards wide, and nearly waist-deep, with soft mud at the bottom, overgrown with a thick bed of moss. It seemed impossible to get through it, and the whole line was staggered for a moment. Jut then Colonel Hayes plunged in with his horse, and under a shower of bullets and shells he rode, waded, and dragged his way through,—the first man over. The Twenty-third was ordered by the right flank over the slough. At the same place men were suffocated and drowned; still the regiment plunged through, reformed, charged forward again, driving the enemy. The division commander was wounded, leaving Colonel Hayes in command. He was everywhere, exposing himself as usual ; men were falling all around him, but he rode, through it all as though he had a charmed life. No reinforcements as promised; something must be done to stop the fire that is cutting the force so terribly. Selecting some Saxony rifles in the Twenty-third, pieces of seventy-one calibre, with a range of .twelve hundred yards, Lieutenant McBride waslstdered forward with them to kill the enemy's artillery horses, in plain sight. At the first shot a horse drops, immediately another is killed, and a panic seems to seize the artillerymen, and they commence limbering up. The infantry take the alarm, and a few commence running front the intrenchments, and the cavalry, which had been hovering upon the flanks, swept down upon the enemy, capturing them by 52 - HISTORY OF ASHTABULA COUNTY, OHIO. regiments, and the battle was at an end. The Twenty-third fought at North Mountain, September 20, 1864, and at Cedar Creek, October 19, - a day that is a household word over a whole nation. The Twenty-third was mustered out on the 26th day of July, 1865, at Cumberland, Maryland, and was paid and disbanded at Camp Taylor, Cleveland, Ohio. TWENTY-NINTH OHIO INFANTRY. Soon after the disaster at Bull Run, a little knot of citizens were gathered together in front of the post-office at Jefferson, waiting for details of the battle, when the Hon. J. R. Giddings, who was then at home from Canada, came up and entered into the subject of conversation, which of course was the late battle, its effect, and the prospect before us. He said, " We must raise a regiment in this county, and I am ready to do anything and all in my power to promote it. We can raise the men beyond doubt, and they ought to be ready for the field in sixty days. This reverse is necessary to excite no to action, and now is the time for us to move." Ile immediately procured an order from the War Department for the enlistment and organization of a regiment from the northeast part of the State. The orders provided for this regiment designated it as the Twenty-ninth, and Jefferson as the place of rendezvous, the camp to be known as Camp Giddings. This camp was located on the grounds of the County Agricultural society. The first company of the Twenty-ninth was organized on the 11th of August, 1861, and went into camp on Monday, August 19. By the 1st of December the regiment was fully organized, with Lewis P. Buckley, colonel ; Thomas Clark, lieutenant-colonel ; and John S. Clemmer, major. While in camp a splendid stand of colors was presented to the Twenty-ninth by the ladies of this and adjoining counties, on which occasion Hon. J. R. Giddings addressed the members of the regiment as follows: " Officers and soldiers : The ladies have prepared a splendid national and regimental stand of colors, and have imposed on me the pleasant duty of presenting them to the regiment. In all past ages civilized nations have gone forth to war under their own banner, on which was inscribed some device, figure, or emblem peculiar to such nation. Thus each tribe among the Israelites had their particular banner. The early Christians fought under the crass ; the Romans under the golden eagle; the Mohammedans under the crescent. The founders of our government selected for their colors a groundwork of blue, representing immutable justice and unlimited power. on which the stars represented light, twinkling in the vaulted heavens, while in mid ether the bird of Jove is floating, a fitting representation of the ease and power with which liberty and civilization are gliding over the earth, while the stars, with the stripes of red and white, represent the vital principles and purity of our institutions." (Addressing Colonel Buckley.) " To you, sir, as commanding, I present these beautiful standards, for the use and benefit of the regiment. On behalf of the fair donors I confide these national and regimental standards to the care of yourself, your gallant officers, and men. Wherever you go, let them be borne aloft and respected as the emblem of universal freedom to all who seek your protection. Preserve them unstained. Bear in mind that you go forth to fight the battles of the human race for all coming time. Remember the cause in which you are engaged. Your own heroic deeds shall he enshrined in our memories, recorded in our history, admired by coming generations, and approved by a holy and just God !" Colonel Buckley replied, "I receive this stand of colors in behalf of the Twenty-ninth Regiment. I return, through you, to the noble and patriotic ladies of Ashtabula and Summit counties, our grateful thanks, and whenever and wherever it is unfurled to the breeze, and we look upon its stars and stripes, may we then remember the generous donors and the vow we this day make! This flag, the flag of our country, which has been our pride and our boast, and which is respected by all civilized nations,-this flag, thank God, shall yet wave triumphantly wherever it has been struck down I Companions, when we look upon this beautiful flag, may it inspire us to redouble our energies to do our duty to our beloved country ; and if God, in his providence, permits us to return to home and kindred, may this flag come back with us to bear witness that the Twenty-ninth Ohio Volunteers were in the thickest of the fight I" On Christmas morning, December, 1861, the Twenty-ninth left Camp Giddings, via Ashtabula, for Camp Chase, remaining at the latter camp until January 17, 1862, when it was ordered to Virginia, in consequence of the Confederate advance, under Jackson, upon Romney. At Patterson's creek, Virginia, the regiment was assigned to the division of General Lander, and to the brigade of Colonel E. B. Tyler, of the Seventh Ohio. After the death of General Landor, General James Shields assumed command of the division, and the march commenced towards Winchester. The enemy were met on the 23d of March, at Kernstown. Here the Twenty-ninth fought its first battle, losing three killed and ten wounded, and afterwards following in the pursuit of Jackson as far as Strasburg. It marched with its division to Falmouth, where General McDowell's army was reviewed by President Lincoln. After a long march, the Twenty-ninth again met the enemy at Port Republic, June 9, 1862, where a severe battle was fought, in which it lost fourteen killed and thirty-six wounded, with over one hundred missing. Captain Horatio Luce fell in this battle. August 9, 1862, the Twenty-ninth fought at Cedar Mountain, Virginia, losing six men killed and fifty-two wounded. The Twenty-ninth next met the enemy at Chancellorsville, May 1, 1863, fighting through the three terrible days following, and was pasted near the Chancellor House, in the rear of a line of rude earthworks, where solid shot plnwed the ground near its position. The enemy had gained a part of the works to the right, where an assault was made upon them, in which the Twenty-ninth was closely engaged. At this battle the Twenty-ninth lost seventy-two killed and wounded. At Gettysburg, July 1, 2, and 3, the Twenty-ninth was next engaged, losing thirty-seven killed and wounded. It was ordered to reheve the One Hundred and Thirty-seventh New York Infantry in the works, which had nearly expended its ammunition. In passing over a slight elevation, swept by the musketry of the enemy, the principal loss was sustained. From Gettysburg the Twenty-ninth marched with the army southward, and early on the morning of the 31st of July crossed the Rappahannock river at Kelly's ford, in the face of the enemy. August 16 the Twenty-ninth, with the Ohio regiments of its brigade, started for New York city, to aid in enforcing order during the draft. Returning to Virginia, it was soon sent with Hooker's army to Tennessee, and engaged in the battle of Lookout Mountain, November 24, 1863. December 22 it was re-mustered into the service as a veteran organization, and furloughed for thirty days. Returning to the field, it fought at Dug Gap, Georgia, May 8, 1864, losing over one hundred men in killed and wounded. This was a strong pass in the Chatooga range; its sides are steep, covered with forests and rocks, rising eight hundred feet above Mill creek. Along the top, facing westward, rise palisades, impossible to scale. In addition to the natural strength of the position were breastworks, occupied by the enemy. The Twenty-ninth came within range of a destructive fire from the enemy in this stronghold. Sixty rounds of ammunition were soon exhausted, but by emptying the cartridge-boxes of the dead a desultory fire was kept up until near dark, when the command was given to retire. At this battle Colonel Fitch, Lieutenant-Colonel Hayes, and Adjutant Stover were wounded, and Lieutenant Grant killed. In this terrible assault twenty-one were killed and eighty-four wounded. May 15, at Resaca, the Twenty-ninth had three men wounded. At New Hope Church, Georgia, May 25, the regiment fought at night until darkness ended the contest. Here it was under fire until June 1. June 15, at Pine Hill, the Twenty-ninth was engaged in an assault upon the enemy's earthworks, and its loss was severe. The next morning it could stack but seventy muskets. It fought at Peach-Tree Creek and engaged in the siege of Atlanta, marched with Sherman down to the sea, participated in the siege and capture of Savannah, and in the marches through the Carolinas. The Twenty-ninth participated in the great review at Washington, May 24, and soon afterwards was sent to Louisville, Kentucky, where it was mustered out July 13, 1865. July 22 it was disbanded at Cleveland, Ohio. The rolls of the Twenty-ninth Ohio Infantry bear the names of fifteen hundred and thirty-two men, of wholes five hundred and forty were killed, wounded, or missing. FIFTIETH OHIO INFANTRY. This regiment was recruited from the State at large, Captain Oscar C. Pratt's company being principally from Ashtabula County. The Fiftieth was early sent to the front, and first met the enemy at Perryville, Kentucky, October 8, 1862, where it lost three officers and one hundred and sixty-two men killed and wounded. From February, 1863, until September, 1863, the regiment was engaged in building fortifications and in constructing trestles on various rivers in Kentucky, and in December of the same year was ordered to Knoxville, Tennessee. In the severe winter weather the men dragged the artillery and wagons over the mountains by hand, slept on the frozen ground, in rain and Snow, without shelter, and partially subsisted on parched corn. In the Atlanta campaign of 1864 the Fiftieth was in the Third Brigade, Second Division, Twenty-third Corps, and was in line of battle almost constantly. It participated in the actions at Pumpkinvine Creek, Dallas, New Hope Church, Lost Mountain, Pine Mountain, Kenesaw Mountain, Culp House, Nicojack Creek, Chattahoochie River, Howard House, Atlanta, and Jonesboro'. The Fiftieth was in the pursuit of Hood's army, and marched to the Coosa river, in Alabama. At Spring Hill, Tennessee, the enemy had formed a line across the road near that place. The Fiftieth on the left and the remainder of the brigade upon the right drove the Confederates from their position, and formed a junction with the Fourth Corps, which had held Spring Hill against the attack of Cheatham's Corps. At the battle of Franklin, Tennessee, November 30, 1864, the Fiftieth was placed upon the right of the Columbia pike. In this it received and repelled eleven successive charges. It went into battle with two hundred and twenty-five men, and came out with one hundred and twelve. It 53 - HISTORY OF ASHTABULA COUNTY, OHIO. fell back with the army to Nashville, and participated in the battles at that place, December 15 and 16, 1864, and followed the defeated enemy to Columbia, Tennessee. The Fiftieth was consolidated with the Ninety-ninth Ohio Infantry. The consolidated regiment constituted the Fiftieth. At the time of the consolidation the Fiftieth numbered only about one hundred men. In August, 1862, it contained an aggregate of nice hundred and sixty-four men. The Fiftieth moved to Clifton, Tennessee, and thence via Cincinnati and Washington to Fort Fisher, North Carolina. June 26, 1865, it was mustered out at Salisbury, North Carolina, and July 17, 1865, it was paid and disbanded at Camp Dennison, Ohio. SIXTIETH OHIO INFANTRY. Early in the year 1864 about twenty-five young men of Austinburg and vicinity enlisted with Lieutenant Charles E. Austin, and were attached to the Sixtieth Ohio Infantry, under command of Lieutenant-Colonel J. N. McElroy. Upon the completion of six companies it was sent to the field, reporting to General Burnside, at Alexandria, Virginia, and was assigned to the Second Brigade, Third Division, Ninth Army Corps. The Sixtieth joined the Army of the Potomac on the Rapidan, and took part in the battles of the Wilderness, Spottsylvania, North Anna, Tolopotomy, Bethesda Church, Cold Harbor, Siege of Petersburg, and in the actions about Richmond. On the 9th of May, 1864, the battalion led the advance of a column of two divisions of the Ninth Army Corps in the attack at Mary's Bridge, Ny river, and was specially distinguished in orders by the general commanding for the gallantry with which it crossed the stream and carried the positions of the enemy. The muster-rolls in the office of the adjutant-general of Ohio show the casualties in this battalion to be five hundred and five, with but seventeen missing. Two-thirds of those who enlisted with Lieutenant Austin were killed, died of hardship and disease, or were wounded. The entire loss from disease and on the battle-field in Company C was forty men, showing the most terrible mortality of any Ohio company in the service during the same short period of time. The Sixtieth was mustered out of the service July 25, 1865. ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTH OHIO INFANTRY. This regiment composed of citizens of Ashtabula, Lake, Geauga, Trumbull, and Mahoning counties. Companies G and K and a part of Company I were from Ashtabula County. The regiment was mustered into service on the 20th and 21st of August, 1862, at Camp Taylor, near Cleveland, Ohio. The last company was mustered in at ten o'clock on the morning of August 21, and in one hour the regiment, one thousand and thirteen strong, was on the march, being the first regiment to leave the State under the President's call for troops of August 4, 1862. Having been armed and equipped, the regiment left for Lexington, Kentucky, where it was assigned to the brigade commanded by Colonel Charles Anderson. General Kirby Smith, in command of the Confederate army, was advancing from Cumberland Gap, and the regiment had every prospect of an immediate engagement. On the 30th of August the regiment advanced towards Richmond, Kentucky, for the purpose of reinforcing General Nelson, but the battle had been fought and lost, and hasty preparations were made for departure to Louisville. Colonel Hall, of the One Hundred and Fifth, was in command of the rear-guard. The weather was intensely warm, and there had been a drought in the country marched over. The column was pushed forward in great haste, and many fell from sunstroke, apparently dead. The regiment faithfully performed its duty as rear-guard, and acted as a support to a section of artillery totally unprovided with ammunition. At Louisville, the regiment was assigned to Brigadier-General Terrill's brigade, of Brigadier-General Jackson's division. Leaving Louisville, the regiment marched to Perryville, where it was engaged in the battle of October 8, 1862. On the afternoon of that day the battle commenced at the point where the One Hundred and Fifth was stationed. The regiment moved rapidly forward and formed at the base of a ridge, where it awaited orders. The One Hundred and Twenty-third Illinois Regiment and Parsons' Battery had been assigned a position to the front and left, where they became engaged, and the One Hundred and Fifth was ordered to their support. The regiment passed to the rear of the battery, for the purpose of forming on its left. Before reaching its position it received a volley from a Confederate regiment, and at once halted and opened fire. Another Confederate regiment rose out of the tall grass that completely concealed it and fired another volley. Parsons' Battery had been posted without any support near it, and within fifty yards of the concealed line of Confederate infantry. Most of the guns had been silenced, many of its men killed and wounded, and half of its horses shot down. At the first volley from the One Hundred and Fifth the Confederate lines, three or four deep, moved forward, firing as they advanced, and swept the ridge where the regiment and battery stood. The Confederate batteries were posted in rear of their infantry, which did terrible execution. General Terrill ordered Major Perkins, of the One Hundred and Fifth, to have the men fix bayonets sad try to save the battery. Fresh troops of the enemy sprang up and the line faltered, wavered, and fell back to its former position. The enemy succeeded in taking the battery, and the contending lines were almost within pistol-shot of each other. The guns of the battery were turned upon the Federal lines, but the men were unwilling to retreat. At length General Terrill, seeing that further resistance was hopeless, gave the order to fall back. They reformed in the rear of a battery, supporting it until night closed the contest. The regiment went into battle eight hundred strong, losing forty-two men killed and two hundred and twelve wounded. On the 20th of March,1863, the One Hundred and Fifth was engaged with General John Morgan's command at Milton, Tennessee, where the chieftain received a severe chastisement. It participated in the Tullahoma campaign, and followed in pursuit of Bragg's army southward, crossing the Tennessee river and Lookout mountain, and next engaged the enemy at Chickamauga, September 19 and 20, 1863. On Sunday, September 20, a gap was made in the lines, caused by the withdrawal of General Wood's division, which the enemy took advantage of. General Brannan's troops were outflanked, and fell back in confusion. General Reynolds, seeing that his flank would be exposed, ordered Major Perkins to change front with his regiment, and charge the Confederates as they advanced. At a word the regiment started forward, with deafening cheers, upon the enemy. The first line of the enemy was thrown back upon the second, upon reaching which, the regiment opened upon it in gallant style. Major Perkins soon saw that his left flank was exposed, and he was obhged to withdraw. The onset of the enemy was checked, and time given General Reynolds to secure his flanks and prevent disaster to the army. At this battle the One Hundred and Fifth lost seventy-five men in killed, wounded, and taken prisoners. At Chattanooga the One Hundred and Fifth was assigned to the Second Brigade, Third Division, Fourteenth Army Corps. It participated in the battle of Mission Ridge, Tennessee, November 25, 1863, in the Atlanta campaign, in the pursuit of Hood to Gaylesville, Alabama, and in the march down to the sea, and in the marches through the Carolinas. The regiment was mustered out at Washington, June 3, 1865, and disbanded at Cleveland, Ohio. Of the one thousand and thirteen men who left Cleveland in 1862 only four hundred and twenty-seven were mustered out in 1865. ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FIFTH OHIO INFANTRY. This regiment was mustered into service October 6, 1862, with eight full companies, and was mainly recruited from the Reserve. Companies B and K were partially recruited in Ashtabula County. The regiment went to the front immediately alter its organization, and entered upon a campaign of as hard service as fell to the lot of any regiment in the army. The One Hundred and Twenty-fifth was in the advance at the occupation of Franklin, Tennessee, and aided in defeating the enemy in the second and third contests for the possession of the place. The One Hundred and Twenty-fifth fought with distinguished gallantry at Chickamauga, September 20, and at Mission Ridge, November 25, 1863. It soon joined in a march to Knoxville, to aid in the relief of General Burnside's forces. December 17, 1863, it fought at Dandridge with a heavy force of the enemy's cavalry. In an assault upon Rocky Face Ridge the loss of the regiment was heavy in killed and wounded. May 14, 1864, it fought at Resaca. At Kenesaw Mountain, June 27, the One Hundred and Twenty-fifth was engaged in a terrific assault upon the Confederate works, when it lost heavily. It had advanced to the abatis, and a few of the men had penetrated it, when the column in support wavered. General Harker, the division commander, fell mortally wounded; the column gave way, and fell back steadily. After the fall of Atlanta the One Hundred and Twenty-fifth was one of the regiments sent back against Hood. In the battle of Franklin it won high honor. It was one of the first to reach the works at the onset. The Federal line had been broken in the centre, and two batteries of four guns each had been captured. At this moment Colonel Opdyke, of the One Hundred and Twenty-fifth, commanding the remaining brigade of Wagner's division, which had been held in reserve inside the works, led his men on, recovered the lost batteries, and captured four hundred prisoners. The gap was closed, but the enemy was not disheartened : four distinct attacks were made, and each time was hurled back with heavy loss. It is sufficient to say that after the battle was over General Thomas rode up and said, " Colonel Opdyke, your brigade saved the day at Franklin, and saved Nashville." The One Hundred and Twenty-fifth was on the skirmish line at the battle of Nashville, and advanced with the line upon the enemy's works. It joined in the pursuit of Hood's army to Huntsville, Alabama. In June, 1865, it moved to New Orleans, and thence to Texas, and was there mustered out of service on the 25th of September. October 17, 1865, it was disbanded at Camp Chase, Ohio. ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-SEVENTH OHIO INFANTRY. This regiment was organized at Cleveland, Ohio, during the month of October, 1864, for one year's service. Two companies of this regiment were from Ashtabula County. It proceeded to Nashville, Tennessee, under orders to report to Gen- 54 - HISTORY OF ASHTA13ULA. COUNTY, OHIO. eral Thomas. The day after its arrival at Nashville it was ordered to Tullahoma, and constituted a part of its garrison, under command of General Milroy. It occupied the town until the Confederate army under General Hood advanced northward, when the garrison at Tullahoma was ordered to Murfreesboro', where the One Hundred and Seventy-seventh arrived after a severe march of three days. December 5 the Confederateskirmishingefore Murfreesboro', and skirmishing occurred almost every day until Hood's defeat at Nashville. December 7 a portion of Milroy's command, including the One Hundred and Seventy-seventh, made a reconnoissance for the purpose of learning the strength of the enemy, who were found in considerable force, strongly posted behind a hastily-constructed work of logs and dirt. Milroy's command oack,lted the works, drove the enemy back, and captured two pieces of artillery and over two hundred prisoners. A few days later, while on a foraging expedition, the One Hundred and Seventy-seventh was in a skirmish, in which it lost eleven men wounded, two of them mortally. After Hood was driven from Tennessee, the One Hundred and Seventy-seventh was ordered to Clifton, and joined the Twenty-third Army Corps. In January, 1865, the Twenty-third Corps was ordered to North Carolina, via the Tennessee and Ohio rivers to Cincinnati, where it took the cars for Washington. The One Hundred and Seventy-seventh embarked at Annapolis, and, after a stormy passage, arrived at Fort Fisher, February 7. The regiment was engaged in two attacks upon the enemy's works, from Cape Fear river to the coast, and afterwards crossed the river and partcompelledn the flank movement which compelled the enemy to evacuate Fort Anderson. The One Hundred and Seventy-seventh was next engaged at Twin Creek, where it took one stand of colors and many prisoners. It remained at Wilmington for a short time, and then joined General Cox at Kinston, and proceeded to Goldsboro', where it joined Sherman's army. After the surrender of Johnson's army, the One Hundred and Seventy-seventh was sent to Greensboro'. Its muster-out rolls were prepared, and it proceeded to Cleveland, Ohio, where it was paid and discharged July 7, 1865. FIRST REGIMENT OHIO LIGHT ARTILLERY. Under the Ohio militia law of 1860, an organization was formed called the First Regiment of Light Artillery, and consisted of six companies, having one gun to each company, under command of Colonel James Barnett. This organization was ready, if necessary, to take the field. Five days after the fall of Sumter thCOLUMBUSing telegram was received : "Columbus, April 20, 1861. " COLONEL JAMES BARNETT, Cleveland, Ohio: " Report your six pieces, caissons and full battery, including the Geneva company, at Columbus, forthwith. Monday, if possible. You can hire horses for the guns here, or at your point of service. Bring bermes and everything else. Twenty men to each gun. You retain colonel's rank. By order. "H. B. CARRINGTON, Adjutant-General." The command reported at Columbus on Monday night, April 22, and was immediately sent forward to Marietta, and the guns placed an anticipation cover the place from an anticipated attack from the opposite shore of Virginia. In July, 1861, this regiment was ordered to Columbus, Ohio, where it was paid and disbanded. Under orders from the War Department, this regiment, with twelve light batteries, was mustered into the service of the United States for three years, to date from Sept. 3, 1861, and, as each battery was filled and equipped, it was sent to the field. The record of the long and faithful service of the First Ohio Light Artillery occupies many pages in Ohio's history, and nothing surpasses the fame of Cotter's, Standart's, Kenny's, Edgerton's, Huntingdon's, Hyman's, and Heckman’s batteries. Company F (three mounths).—The first men sent to the field from Ashtabula County were those who composed the Geneva Artillery, under command of Captain Dennis Kenney, Jr. This company had been organized two years before the war began, as a part of the militia of Ohio. They had drilled regularly, were well equipped, and furnished with one of the brass pieces that were then the admiration of the whole State. Being militia, they were regarded as State troops, and in that capacity, in April, 1861, they were ordered to report to Marietta, to protect the frontier at that point. This company was organized into the command of Colonel James Barnett. While the company was at Marietta, an order was received late at night from General McClellan directing two companies of artillery to proceed to Parkersburg, Virginia, and join the column of Colonel Stcedman. Precedence was given by seniority of companies, and two companies from another part of the State were ordered to prepare for active service. Company meetings were held, and it was decided that the organizations were for the defense of the State, and the companies ordered into danger declined to entertain the propositions, and returned the order with objections to Colonel Barnett. General McClellan telegraphed again more urgently for the prompt movement of the artillery against the Confederates then concentrating near Grafton and Philippi. Colonel Barnett concluded to try " special order” again upon a company with " rural" antecedents in connection with one of the most splendid " make up" from the city, and in twelve hours after receiving the order Companies D and F were fifteen miles away. The company left Camp Putnam May 30, by steamboat, for Parkersburg, and the next morning took the train for Grafton, moving slowly for fear of accidents. Arriving at Clarksburg, the companies were ordered to clear their pieces for action. The guns were on a flat car in front of the engine, shorted, and ready to repel any attack that might be made. From Webster the command, uniting with the Fourteenth Ohio and Seventh Indiana Regiments, were ordered to march across the country and capture a Confederate camp at Philippi. The march commenced at eleven o'clock at night, continuing for twelve miles in a drenching rain, through an enemy's country, and at daybreak on the morning of the 3d of ,June, 1861, the attack was commenced upon the enemy, which was returned by them for a few moments, when they turned and fled. Thus was opened the campaign in Western Virginia. This artillery company remained in the service for three mouths, and on the 28th day of July, 1861, at Columbus, it was mustered into the service of the United States, and on the same day mustered out and disbanded. The attack upon the Confederate camp at Philippi wassbettedy this company, and the first abetted gun, after the attack at Fort Sumter, fired in the war was the old brass piece from Geneva, Ashtabula County. Battery C was organized by Captain Dennis Kenney, Jr. It was mustered into the three years' service at Camp Dennison, Ohio, September 9, 1861, with one hundred and sixty men. The battery was with the very first troops that creased into Kentucky, where it was organized into a division, composed of Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana troops, under command of General George H. Thomas, at Camp Dick Robinson. It joined an expedition under General Albin Schoepf, for the purpose of relieving East Tennessee, and performed effective service at the battle of Mill Spring, Kentucky. It came up with Thomas' division too late to engage in the battle of Shiloh, but performed hard service in the advance on Corinth. October 13, 1863, Battery C was placed in the Fourteenth Corps. At Rolling Fork, Kentucky, December 31., 1862, in an engagement with Morgan's men, it lost Lieutenant Henry W. Paulus. At Chickamauga it fought all day Saturday and Sunday, September 19 and 20, under the immediate direction of General Thomas. On at least two occasions of that most memorable and important battle the battery received verbal compliments from that officer. With Thomas it was in the last struggle of Sunday evening, which resulted in sending the enemy back into that terrible valley of death, where lay not leas than thirty thousand dead and wounded American soldiers. In this action it lost thirteen men killed and wounded, thirty horses, and one gun, dismounted. After the battle of Mission Ridge the battery re-enlisted, and was furloughed for thirty days. At the organization of the army for the Atlanta campaign the battery was assigned to General Hooker's Twentieth Corps. Captain Gary was assigned to duty as chief of artillery of General Butterfield's Third Division. The command of the battery then devolved upon Lieutenant Stevens, a fine artillery officer from Geneva. The battery participated in the battles of Resaca, Casaville, New Hope Church, Peach-Tree Creek, and Siege of Atlanta. In the summer's campaign the battery lost twenty men in killed and woanded, and in the campaigns through the Carolinas it fought at Averysville and Bentonville. It was the fortune of this battery to have lost but one gun,—seldom ever to have been engaged in a retreat. It was always with the active troops in the field, and had the honor of being the only Ohio battery that completed the entire march from the Ohio river to the Potomac. It marched through Richmond to Washington, participated in the great review, and was disbanded June 15, 1865, at Cleveland, Ohio. SECOND OHIO INDEPENDENT BATTERY. This battery was organized by Captain Thomas J. Carlin, of Conneaut, and was mustered into the service at Camp Chase, Ohio, on the 6th of August, 1861, and left that camp on the 15th of the same month, under orders to report to Major-General Fremont, at St. Louis, Missouri. On the 8th it was dispatched by rail for the relief of Colonel Mulligan, at Lexington, Missouri, but disembarked at Jefferson City. Colonel Mulligan having surrendered, it received orders to march to Springfield, but halted at Tipton,Fremont'swas reviewed with. General Fremont's forces by Secretary of War Cameron and Adjutant-General Lorenzo Thomas. Springfield was reached on the 1st of November, but Price's army had fled, and the campaign ended fur the winter. The battery remained at Rolla until the 24th of February, 1862, when it marched against Price's Confederate army, and was engaged in the battle of Pea Ridge, on the 6th and 7th of March, where it was closely engaged, and lost one man killed and twelve wounded. The HISTORY OF ASHTABULA COUNTY, OHIO - 55 battery lost one caisson, but in turn captured one from the enemy, and though closely pressed drew from off the field all of its pieces in safety. The battery marched with General Curtis' command through Arkansas to Helena, on the Mississippi river, where it lay until January 23, 1863, when it accompanied an expedition to Duvall's Bluff. The battery was taken by transports to the mouth of the Yazoo river, where it joined Grant's army in the rear of Vicksburg. It took part in the battles of Black River Bridge, Raymond, and Champion Hills, and was on duty until the surrender of Vicksburg, when it was ordered to report to General Banks at New Orleans, and accompanied the disastrous expedition up Red river. February 23, 1864, the battery re-enlisted, and was reorganized. It was then ordered to Ship Island, Mississippi, to guard Confederate prisoners, and remained there on that duty until July, 1865, when it was ordered to Columbus, Ohio. In the ranks of the Second Battery were two hundred and nineteen men, of whom forty-two were killed in battle or died from disease. It was mustered out July 21, 1865, after near four years' service. FOURTEENTH OHIO INDEPENDENT BATTERY. This battery was mustered into the service at Cleveland, Ohio, September 20, 1861, by Lieutenant J. W. P. Neil, Eighteenth United States Infantry. It was mainly recruited in the counties of Ashtabula, Trumbull, Lake, and Geauga, under authority from the Secretary of War, empowering Hon. B. F. Wade and lion. John Hutchins to raise a regiment of cavalry and a battery of artillery. In its ranks were two hundred and forty-nine men and ten commissioned officers. The battery reported for service at Camp Dennison, on the 1st of January, 1862, and on the 5th of February left that camp, destined for Kansas. It was ordered by General HaBeck to remain in Si Louis for orders, and on the 13th of February left for the theatre of war in Tennessee. At Paducah it was attached to the command of General Hurlbut. On the 7th of March it embarked with the army up the Tennessee river, and disembarked at Pittsburg Landing, and was transferred to General McClernand's division. On the 9th of April, 1862, the battery participated in the battle of Pittsburg Landing, losing four men killed and twenty-six wounded, also fifty horses killed and wounded, and all their guns were left on the field, but were recovered on the following day without damage. The battery participated in the advance on Corinth, and also performed garrison duty at Jackson, Tennessee, until June 2, 1863, and afterwards remained in camp at Lynnville, Tennessee, until March, 1864. The battery participated in the battle of Resaca, Georgia, where it expended three hundred and forty-two rounds of ammunition, without casualties on its side. At Dallas, Georgia, it was engaged in shelling the enemy's works from the 28th until the 30th day of May, and took an active part in repelling the attack of the enemy upon the Federal lines on the evening of the 28th. On the evening of the 19th of May the battery took a position before Kenesaw mountain, and was constantly under fire from that date to the 2d of July, losing two men wounded. On the 3d of July it participated in the engagement of Ruff's 'Mills. A section of the battery wss detached with General Stoneman's Cavalry, where it performed good service, silencing the enemy's batteries on two occasions at river crossings. At the siege of Atlanta the battery was located within thirteen hundred yards of the enemy's heavy guns, behind casemated works. Eight men of the battery were wounded, two horses killed, and four wounded during these twenty-eight days of almost continuous firing. The battery marched northward with the army in pursuit of the Confederate General Hood, and reached Gaylesville, Alabama, on the 21st of October, where orders were received to report at Nashville, Tennessee, where it was assigned to the Seventh Cavalry Division. A new supply of horses and harness was drawn, and the battery was constituted horse artillery. It participated in the battle of Nashville, December 15, 1864, and in the pursuit of Hood's demorahzed army. From Eastport, Mississippi, the battery was sent to New Orleans, and from thence to Mobile, Alabama, landing near Spanish Fort, and occupying a position upon the left of the Federal line. The battery was assigned to the Second Brigade of the Cavalry Division of Mississippi, and marched to Greenville and Montgomery, Alabama. The battery remained at Columbus, Mississippi, until the 27th of July, when it was nrdered to Cairo, Illinois, to be mustered out, and from thence it was sent to Camp Dennison, where it was discharged August 17, 1865. SECOND REGIMENT OHIO HEAVY ARTILLERY. In 1863 it became necessary to recruit a class of troops whose duty it should be to fortify, garrison, and hold many important forte and strongholds that had been captured from the enemy. For this purpose the Second Ohio Heavy Artillery, consisting of twenty-four hundred men, rank and file, was then authorized. Company M, commanded by Captain William H. H. Crowell, and other companies of the regiment were largely recruited from Ashtabula County. Company M was mustered into service September 9, 1863, at Covington Barracks, and on the 18th of the same month it moved to Fort Willich, Mumfordsville, Kentucky. January 10, 1864, it was transferred to Fort Taylor, at Camp Nelson, Kentucky, 14 where it remained on duty until May 26, 1864. From Camp Sedgwick, at Cleveland, Tennessee, it participated with the rest of the regiment in various expeditions, and was engaged in a skirmish at Strawberry Plains, where the Union forces were in a critical position. February 1, 1865, it was at Athens, Tennessee. It was there mustered out of the service, August 23, 1865, and on the 29th of the same month was paid and disbanded at Camp Chase, Ohio. SECOND OHIO CAVALRY. This regiment was recruited and organized in the summer and autumn of 1861, at Camp Wade, near Cleveland, Ohio. It was the first cavalry regiment raised in the northern part of the State, drew into its ranks men of intelligence, culture, and capacity, and represented every trade and profession. In January, 1862, the Second Cavalry proceeded by rail to Platte City, Missouri, reported to General David Hunter, and was quartered in the town. In February, the Second marched through the border counties of Missouri to Fort Scott, Kansas. On the 22d of February a scouting-party of one hundred and twenty men of the Second Cavalry were attacked in the streets of Independence, Missouri, by an equal force of the enemy under the command of the famous Quantrill. As the results of the Second's first fight, Quantrill was routed in fifteen minutes, losing fourteen men. The Second lost one man killed and three wounded. The Second Cavalry moved with the army into the Indian Territory in June. At Baxter Springs three regiments of loyal Indians, mounted on ponies and armed with squirrel rifles, joined the command. During the summer one hundred and fifty men were detailed from the Second Cavalry to man, temporarily, a light battery, and six months later the detail was made a transfer by order of the War Department, and constituted the Twenty-fifth Ohio Battery. In September, the Second, with the battery mentioned, marched with the army of General Blunt into Missouri and Arkansas, sharing in the campaign which ended in the victory of Prairie Grove, Arkansas, December 2, 1862. In the autumn campaign the Second fought at Carthage and Newtonia, Missouri, camped on the battle-field of Pea Ridge, and fought at Cow Hill, Wolf Creek, and White River. Captain August V. Kautz, Sixth United States Cavalry, was appointed colonel of the Second, and soon after it was transferred to Camp Chase, Ohio, to remount and refit for the field. In February, 1863, the original twelve companies were consolidated into eight, and a battalion of four companies of the Eighth Ohio Cavalry was added to the Second. In April the Second moved into Kentucky. In May and June the Second fought twice at Steubenville, twice at Monticello, and once at Columbia, Kentucky. The Second joined in the pursuit of John Morgan, following the great raider twelve hundred miles, through three States, and shared in the capture at Buffington's Island. The work of the Second in East Tennessee was active and honorable, where skirmishes occurred too numerous to record. During the siege of Knoxville, the Second operated on the enemy's flank, and joined in the pursuit of Longstreet's army. On the 2d of December, 1862, it fought Longstreet's cavalry, at Morristown, and on the 4th of the same month the Second lost forty men killed and wounded at Russellville. On the 6th it was at the front five hours at the battle of Beam Station. The Second re-enlisted in January, 1864, and was furloughed for thirty days. It was ordered to Annapolis, Maryland, and moved out of camp May 1, eight hundred strong, crossing the Long Bridge into Virginia. The Second was transferred from the Ninth Army Corps to Sheridan's Cavalry Corps. Its duties following were arduous, and its losses severe. From the Army of the Potomac the Second marched to the Shenandoah Valley. Several companies of the Second, acting as a rear-guard, fought an hour in dense darkness in the streets of Winchester. The Second Ohio Cavalry, with the aid of the Third New Jersey Cavalry, captured an entire regiment of Confederate infantry near Winchester, special mention being made by the Secretary of War of the gallantry of these two regiments. On the 19th of October the Second fought at Cedar Creek, being in the saddle from daybreak until nine o'clock P.M. It occupied the centre on the Valley pike, while the infantry formed in the rear of the cavalry, was present on the pike when Sheridan came to the front on his immortal ride, assisted to raise the shout of welcome, and joined in the charges that decided the victory. On the 27th of February, 1865, the Second started with Sheridan on the last raid of the war, sharing in the capture of Early's army at Waynesboro', March 2. In this action the Second captured five pieces of artillery with caissons. For this it received the thanks of General Custer upon the field. The Second joined the Army of the Potomac with Sheridan's cavalry, at Petersburg, entering the campaign that closed the war. From the 27th of March to the surrender of Lee the Second captured and turned over to the provost-marshal eighteen pieces of artillery. Soon after the grand review at Washington, the Second was ordered to Si Louis, Missouri, and from thence to Springfield. The order for muster-out was soon received, when the Second proceeded to Camp Chase, Ohio, and on the 11th of September, 1865, was paid and disbanded. 56 - HISTORY OF ASHTABULA COUNTY, OHIO. The following is the closing paragraph of the sketch of the Second Ohio Cavalry, in Whitelaw Reid's " Ohio in the War" : " The Second fought under the following general officers: Buell, Wright, Hunter, Denver, Sturgis, Blunt, Salomon, Curtis, Schofield, Burnside, Carter, Sheridan, Gillmore, Shackelford, Foster, Kautz, Sedgwick, Wilson, McIntosh, Torbert, Custer, Meade, and Grant. Its horses have drank from, and its troopers have bathed in, the waters of the Arkansas, Kaw, Osage, Cygnes, Missouri, Mississippi, Ohio, Scioto, Miami, Cumberland, Tennessee, Holston, Potomac, Shenandoah, Rappahannock, Rapidan, Bull Run, Mattapony, Pamunky, Chickahominy, James, Appomattox, Blackwater, Nottaway, and Chesapeake. It has campaigned through thirteen States and the Indian Territory. It has traveled, as a regiment, on foot, horseback, by railroad and steamboat, on land, river, bay, and ocean. It has marched an aggregate distance of twenty-seven thousand miles ; has fought in ninety-seven (97) battles and engagements. It has served in five different armies,-the Army of the Frontiers, of the Missouri, of the Potomac, of the Ohio, and of the Shenandoah,-forming a continuous line of armies from the headwaters of the Arkansas to the mouth of the James, and its dead, sleeping where they fell, form a vidette-line half across the continent, a chain of prostrate sentinels two thousand miles long. Even in their graves, may not their patriot dead still guard the glory and the integrity of the Republic for which they fell ?" SIXTH OHIO CAVALRY. In September, 1861, Amander Bingham, of Orwell, received orders to raise a company of cavalry. The company was organized with the purpose of joining the Third Ohio Cavalry, then forming at Monroeville, Ohio. Another regiment of cavalry was ordered to be recruited on the Reserve about this time, and the company decided to go into the Sixth Regiment, to be organized at Warren, Trumbull county. In January, 1862, the Sixth Regiment moved from Camp Hutchins to Camp Dennison, and from thence to Camp Chase, to assist in guarding Confederate prisoners. On the 13th of May, 1862, it was sent to Wheeling, Virginia, where it was equipped for the field, and ordered to join General Fremont at Franklin, but instead joined him at Strasburg, in his pursuit of Jackson down the Shenandoah valley. At Strasburg the Sixth had its first fight, when seven men were wounded. It skirmished with the Second and Sixth Virginia Cavalry, forming the Confederate rear-guard, under General Turner Ashby. June 7, 1862, the Sixth was engaged, losing a number in killed and wounded. The Sixth was under fire fourteen days in contesting the passage of the Rapidan river, and in doing good service at the second battle of Bull Run. In March, 1863, it fought at Kelley's Ford, where fifteen men were killed and wounded. At the battle of Aldie, Virginia, June 17, General Kilpatrick ordered Colonel Steadman to charge, with one squadron, a Confederate column. Captain Northway, of Company A, was ordered to make the charge, which he did, only seven men returning unharmed out of thirty engaged, nearly every one being wounded in a hand-to-hand conflict. At the battles of Middleburg, Upperville, and Gettysburg the Sixth Cavalry acted well its part. September 1, Major Cryer, with a patrol of fifty men, were ambushed by about two hundred dismounted Confederate cavalry, and, after sharp fighting, only seven men reached camp unharmed. At the battle of Bristoe Station, Captain Leeman, with one squadron, was ordered to charge through the enemy's lines, and report to the rear-guard that the enemy had obtained possession of the road, a feat which he successfully accomplished. He returned the next day, having reached the command by taking another road. The Sixth spent the winter of 1863-64 at Warrenton, Virginia, in picketing the right and rear of the Federal army, and in protecting it from raids from the notorious Mosby. Hardly a day passed without an encounter of some kind, and many were the midnight marches made to surprise Mosby in his camp. The Sixth re-enlisted in January, 1864, and was recruited in the spring nearly again to its maximum number. The Sixth accompanied Sheridan in his attempt on Richmond. It was rear-guard the first day out, and as such received several charges from Stuart's chosen regiments, all of which were repulsed. It fought, May 11, at Yellow Tavern, where General Stuart fell, and May 12 it fought a severe battle inside the defenses of Richmond. May 28 it fought at Owen Church, where Captain Northway and thirteen men were killed and thirty-five wounded. At Cold Harbor and Trevilian Station the Sixth lost heavily, and as Gregg's division was driven from the field at Trevilian, it was ordered to form the rearguard, in which duty it performed excellent service. Crossing the James river with Grant's army, the Sixth pushed around to the left of the Federal line to Reams' Station, for the purpose of reinforcing General Wilson, who was being defeated. The Sixth was in the cavalry battle of Malvern Hill ; at Hatcher's Run, October 27, 1864, and again, February 3, 1865 ; and at Cold Harbor, May 31, 1864 ; at Dinwiddie Court-house, Five Forks, Weldon Railroad, Sailor's Creek, and Farmville. At the battle of Appomattox Court-House the Sixth had the honor of opening the engagement, having marched during the night to a position across the only road left for the retreat of the Confederate army. Soon after daylight on that memorable morning an attack was made upon the Federal line, which had been fortified by a rail breastwork, and after a spirited resistance the regiment fell back, only to show to the pursuing army our strong lines of infantry who had come up during the early morning. The attack ended, a white flag was flying in the Confederate front, and the work was accomplished. The next day the Sixth was detailed to escort General Grant from Appomattox to Burkesville. When Johnson's surrender was announced the Sixth was sent to Petersburg, and soon after sent in detachments to different counties comprising the " Sub-District of the Appomattox." In August, the Sixth was ordered to Cleveland, Ohio, where it was mustered out of service. SEVENTH KANSAS CAVALRY. In August, 1861, John Brown, Jr., of this county, obtained authority to recruit and transport a company of riflemen to Kansas. The men of his company were recruited chiefly among the hunters of western Pennsylvania, from Ashtabula County, and from northwestern Michigan. November 12, 1861, at Leavenworth, Kansas, they were mustered into service as Company K, Seventh Kansas Cavalry, commanded by Colonel Jennison. Their first services were fighting bushwhackers in western Missouri, along the borders of Kansas, and the Indian Territory. In May, 1862, the Seventh was ordered south, and commenced the summer's campaign after the battle of Corinth. While stationed at Rienzi, Mississippi, the men suffered severely from the effects of the climate, and many died in hospitals. The Seventh campaigned in Mississippi, Alabama, and Tennessee until September, 1864, when it was sent to Missouri, and engaged in the memorable " Price's raid," following the enemy nearly twice across that State. The Seventh performed effective service fighting guerrillas in Missouri and Arkansas, and in August, 1865, was ordered to the plains to fight Indians. At Fort Kearney the Seventh was ordered to Fort Leavenworth for muster-out, and was disbanded September 29, 1865. The Seventh fought at Iuka, Mississippi, in August, 1862 ; second battle of Corinth, Mississippi, October, 1862 ; Water Valley and Coffeeville, in December, 1862; Grenada and Tupelo, Mississippi ; Buzzard Roost and Tuscumbia, Alabama; and many cavalry skirmishes. ELEVENTH NEW YORK INDEPENDENT BATTERY. On the 17th of September, 1861, Robert C. Warmington, of Ashtabula, received a commission from an old friend, General G. A. Scroggs, of Buffalo, New York, authorizing him to recruit a battery of artillery, and nine days later he left Ashtabula with a company of about eighty men. At Albany, January 6, 1862, the command of Captain Warmington was consolidated with Captain Von Puttkammer's command, with the designation of Eleventh New York Independent Battery. It garrisoned Fort Ellsworth, at Alexandria, Virginia, until August 24, 1862, when it marched to Manassas Junction, by order of General McClellan. While encamped at the Junction, four guns of this battery, without proper support, were attacked at about eleven o'clock at night by Jackson's forces. Five rounds each per gun of grape and canister were fired from the guns engaged. Twenty-nine men and the four guns were captured. The following morning the balance of the battery, with two guns, with the assistance of a New York regiment, held Jackson's forces in check long enough to enable the trains to escape to Alexandria. The battery was engaged in the actions at Fredericksburg, Virginia, December 13, 1862 ; Chancellorsville, Virginia; May 2 and 3, 1863 ; Gettysburg, Pa., July 3, 1863; Mine Run, Virginia, November 26, 1863; North Anna River, Virginia, May 23 to 26, 1864; Tolopotomy Creek, Virginia, May 28 to 31, 1864 ; Cold Harbor, Virginia, June 3 to 12, 1864 ; Petersburg, Virginia, June 16 to 19, 1864; Jerusalem Plank-Road, Virginia, June 23 and 24, 1864; and second battle at Deep Bottom, Virginia, August 14, 1864. Nine Ashtabula County soldiers who enlisted in this battery were killed in action or died in the service. THE SQUIRREL HUNTERS. During the autumn of 1862, the Confederate General Kirby Smith advanced upon Cincinnati with a large army. Governor Tod issued a proclamation calling upon all who would furnish themselves with rations and arms to turn out, organize under their own officers, and rendezvous at Cincinnati, transportation over the railroads to be provided by the government. Three hundred and sixty-six citizens of Ashtabula County responded to the call of the governor. These men, of course, saw no fighting, but their work was cheerfully performed because they thought their services were needed. Governor Tod caused lithograph discharges to be forwarded to those whose names could be obtained. These discharges may be found in many homes in the county, where they are properly prized. To G. F. Lewis, Esq., of Cleveland, Ohio, we are indebted for rolls of the companies of Captains Joshua Fobes, Jedediah Burnham, John R. Reed, John and Jacob Bartholomew, War of 1812. The roster of Ashtabula's soldiers during the War of the Rebellion was compiled from the muster-rolls in the office of Adjutant-General Meilly, at Columbus, and from files of the Ashtabula Sentinel.

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN WADE.* In West Springfield, Massachusetts, there is a region abounding in beautiful but rugged hills, whose slopes in the early days were devoted to the pasturage of herds and flocks ; and from that circumstance it was called " Feeding Hills Parish." Hero the subject of this sketch was born. He commenced with the century, October 27, 1800. The present generation have but a faint conception of the condition of the country and the hardships endured by that people in those times. His father, James Wade, had been a soldier of the Revolution, and the events of that period had deprived him of the means of supporting a large family and giving them more than the ordinary education afforded by the common schools. Work was the rule ; schools were few and beyond the reach of many ; children were compelled to share the privations and toil of their seniors. Frank, for so he was then and through all his earlier years familiarly called, lost no opportunity of making himself acquainted with all the books that came with his reach. Hence, when he arrived at maturity ho had aoquired a fund of historical and general information far superior to many who had enjoyed all the advantages of a higher classical education. In the fall of 1821, James Wade and his family removed to Andover, in the county of Ashtabula, Ohio. Here Frank was for two years employed in clearing land and with the ordinary work of a farm during the summer, and in the winter as a teacher of common schools. In the fall of 1823 he assisted in driving a drove of cattle over the mountains to Philadelphia; and from there he went to Massachusetts, performing the whole distance on foot. His brother James was then a practicing physician near Albany, in the State of New York. Here Frank commenced the study of medicine, but becoming dissatisfied with that profession he abandoned it, and in the fall of 1825 returned to Andover. It was during hisltay in the State of New York at this time that, being without funds and finding no other employment for which money could be obtained, he labored for a time, with spade and wheelbarrow, upon the Erie canal, which was then in process of construction. Many years later, Mr. Seward, speaking in the United States senate and alluding to this incident, said, " From whence came the labor that performed that work ? I know but one American citizen who worked with spade and wheelbarrow upon those works. Doubtless there are many others, but I know but one, and he, I am glad to say, is a member on this floor,—Mr. Wade, of Ohio, and one of the most talented members." His younger brother, Edward, who has since for many years ably represented the Cuyahoga district in congress, was at that time a student in the law-office of the Hon. Elisha Whittlesey, at Canfield, Ohio. Frank was induced to join his brother in that office, and at the end of two years was admitted to the bar, at Jefferson, Ashtabula County, Ohio. Ilere he commenced the practice of his profession, and soon acquired the reputation of an acute special pleader and a successful advocate. Joshua R. Giddings was then a leading lawyer, having the largest practice of any attorney in the county. In 1831, Mr. Wade entered into partnership with that gentleman, and they continued together in a large and successful practice in Ashtabula and the adjoining counties until 1838, when Mr. Giddings was elected to congress. In the fall of 1835, Mr. Wade was elected prosecuting attorney for the county of Ashtabula. This was his first public position, and from that time forward his talents, fidelity, and energy assured him the confidence of the public. In the fall of the year 1837 the Whig convention nominated him, and he was elected a member of the Ohio State senate. This nomination was made in his absence and without his knowledge or desire. Up to this time the subject of southern slavery, as an element of political and party contention, had scarcely been agitated. Legislation both State and national had all favored the institution, and there existed in Ohio a miserable set of black laws which was the product of the prevailing sentiment of the country. But at the same time the better feelings of human nature could not bo wholly suppressed. There were some in the south who saw and felt the injustice of the institution and favored emancipation ; and arrangements had been made by which a settlement of blacks was formed at a place called Red Oak, on the free side of the Ohio river, where those who desired could bring their slaves and emancipate them. This settlement created a feeling of jealousy on both sides of the line. The conservative spirits of the north feared *By C. S. Simonds. they might be overrun by the blacks, and the slave-holders were alarmed by any movement which had a tendency to weaken or relax the rigor of the slave system or to ameliorate the condition of the slaves. Fugitives from slavery were frequently escaping across the line, and were either harbored in Ohio, or were aided in their flight to Canada. Thus it happened that, not content with the state of things then existing, in 1838 the legislature of Kentucky sent two commissioners, Messrs. Morehead and Price,—the one a Whig and the other a Democrat,—to persuade the legislature of Ohio to pass still more rigorous and effective laws for the return of fugitive slaves. This measure was proposed in the Ohio sejeate, and Mr. Wade and only four others arrayed themselves in opposition to its passage. These five senators, of course, could do nothing but obstruct and delay the passage of the measure. But this was so boldly and adroitly done that the commissioners sought an interview with Mr. Wade, in hopes to mitigate his opposition to their scheme. That meeting was amusing and characteristic. They came with an injured and deprecating air, as though appealing to the better feelings of his nature. They told him of the patriarchal character of the institution, and how slaves were treated by their masters as their own children, and showed the cruelty of sundering such ties of tenderness, and consequently the necessity of more stringent laws to prevent the evil. Mr. Wade did not see the character of the institution in that light, and in response to Mr. Morehead, the Whig commissioner, he said, " You want us to pass a law to prevent your children from running away. In other words, you want to make us all negro-catchers. Gentlemen, do you engage in this business of negro-catching, yourselves ? I see you do not. If I were master in Ohio, and found you in this negro-hunting business, I would put you in irons." Price, the Democratic commissioner, cried out, " By heavens l More- head, he has got us; it is certainly not the most honorable business." So ended the memorable interview. The resistance to the passage of the bill was protracted two days and one entire night, and a part of another. The following extract from a speech made by Mr. Wade on that occasion may be interesting to those who remember the excitement that followed upon the passage of those fugitive slave laws: "Though I stand here at two o'clock at night, and after a protracted session since yesterday at nine o'clock in the morning, and though I speak to ears that are deaf and to hearts impervious to a sense of right and justice and liberty, still I will be heard ; and although, from the timid and servile policy that has been manifested by the majority on this floor, I have no hope of arresting the progress of this measure, which shall ere long stamp its supporters with deeper infamy and degradation than did the famous alien and sedition laws.' The champions of this measure, like the heroes of old, before taking up the gauntlet in its defense, have thought proper to preface their remarks with a history of their own birth, habits, and education ; and, as I suspected, it appears that they were theme:elves born or descended from parents who were born in the murky atmosphere of slavery. Were I to follow their example and speak of so unimportant a subject as myself, I would say that I was born in a land where the accursed system of slavery was unknown ; where the councils of the State were swayed by the great principles of equality ; where right and justice were deemed the greatest expediency. My infancy was rocked in the cradle of universal liberty, and my parents were of the Revolution. The earliest lesson I was taught was to respect the rights of others and to defend my own ; to resist oppression to the death ; neither do nor suffer wrong ; to do unto others as I would they should do unto me ; and, though my venerated instructors have long since passed away, the Godlike principles they taught can never die ; and when they shall cease to influence my conduct, may my right hand forget its cunning and my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth !" The five senators made a gallant but ineffectual resistance. The measure was carried, and slavery triumphed for the time. But the event stamped Mr. Wade as a man of mark, and one of the most fearless and formidable opponents of the slave-power. It brought him into immediate and signal notice, and men came to him from the Red Oak settlement bearing a petition, numerously signed, for a charter establishing an academy to educate the freedmen at that place. On the presentation of the petition a storm broke forth. " Do you know that these are niggers ?" And resolutions were offera4 to expel him from the senate, so violent - 67 - 68 - HISTORY OF ASHTABULA COUNTY, OHIO. were the feelings against him for presenting a petition signed by colored men. But while a member of the senate of Ohio he performed noble work in other respects. He was a member of the judiciary committee, and exerted a controlling influence in abolishing imprisonment for debt in Ohio, and also for the passage of a law exempting certain property from execution. The legislature was then beset by applications for aid to various public and private enterprises to promote internal improvements in the State, which resulted in what were afterwards known as the " Plunder laws." These he opposed, and thereby incurred violent opposition from members of his own party. In the fall of 1839 he was renominated by the Whig party in the district, in their regular convention. There was a Whig majority in the district of four thousand, but so strong was the pro-slavery feeling in the district, and especially in his own county of Ashtabula, that he was beaten, and a Democrat elected in his place. But during the ensuing two years there was a marvelous change wrought in the feelings of the people. During the presidential canvass of 1840 he was prominent in the advocacy of General Harrison for President, and his voice was heard from almost every platform in northern Ohio ; and when the Whig district convention met in 1841 he was again nominated as a candidate for the Ohio senate by acclamation. The subject of slavery had been discussed, the views of Mr. Wade had become popular in the district, and his election was then triumphant. In the winter of 1841 and 1842 he resigned the office, but was again elected in the fall of 1842. And during his service in the senate he had the satisfaction of seeing the Kentucky black laws erased from the statute-book of the State. He then declined further service, and devoted himself to the practice of his profession. In the spring of 1837 he entered into partnership in the practice of law with Rufus P. Ranney, who had previously been a student in his office. The business of that firm was very large, requiring their attendance upon all the courts in several counties in the northeast corner of the State. This partnership continued until Mr. Wade was elected to a judicial position. In 1841 he was married to Miss Caroline Rosekrans, of Middletown, in the State of Connecticut. By her ho has two sons, both of whom performed service for the country in the war of the Rebellion. James F., the oldest son, still remains in the cavalry service, where he now holds the commission of major, and has had several brevets for meritorious services. In February, 1847, Mr. Wade was elected by the legislature of the State presiding judge of the third judicial circuit, embracing the counties of Ashtabula, Trumbull, Mahoning, Portage, and Summit. He entered immediately upon the duties of the office, which he continued to hold until March, 1851, when he was elected to the senate of the United States. The circuit was large, and the dockets of the several courts were very much encumbered with business when he went upon the bench, but his high legal attainments and application to business enabled him to dispatch the business of the courts with great facility, and he soon became as popular on the bench as he had previously been at the bar. The intelligence of his election to the United States senate was brought to him in the court-room, while presiding in court at Akron, in Summit county. The papers in the northeastern portion of the State had urged his election to that position ; but still the news of his election came to him wholly unexpected, and like every other official position which he had held it was unsolicited on his part. He did not feel at liberty or disposed to decline the high honor, and assumed its duties and responsibilities, and continued to hold the position for eighteen years, during the most interesting period of the history of the country. He entered the senate just after the notable compromise measures of 1851. The terrible storm in which those measures had been adopted had been allayed, but not spent. The compact imposed eternal silence upon the north on the subject of slavery in the councils of the nation. It also laid upon the north the ungracious burden of returning fugitive slaves. Parties were preparing for the presidential contest. The Whigs had become demoralized by the death of President Taylor, and the trouble and perplexity arising from the administration of President Fillmore. Both of the great national parties gave in their adhesion to the measures of the compromise, and adopted the same plank of eternal silence on the subject of slavery. But there was no silence! The first day that Mr. Wade took his seat in the American senate, Mr. Foote, of Mississippi, introduced a series of resolutions to confirm what had already been done by congress on the subject of slavery, and upon these resolutions frequent speeches were made during that session. The canvass of 1852 resulted in the election of Franklin Pierce to the presidency, and with him a Democratic congress. Mr. Douglas, chairman of the committee on Territories, reported in favor of the organization of Kansas and Nebraska, leaving the report} silent on the subject of slavery. Upon this a fiery debate sprung up; speeches were made by southern men of the most inflammable character, claiming that the old Missouri Compromise of 1821 should be abrogated. The report was recommitted and amended, containing the proposed abrogation of that old national treaty. After the nomination of General Taylor for the presidency in 1848, a large majority of the Whig party on the Western Reserve revolted and refused to vote for the nominee for the reason that he was a slave-holder, and uniting with the Democrats who were disaffected with the nomination of General Cass by their party, under the name of Free Democrats, supported Martin Van Buren for the presidency. Van Buren, when in the presidential chair, had shown himself most subservient to the slave power. Mr. Wade had confidence in General Taylor for uprightness, and believed he could be relied upon for integrity and impartiality, and he therefore zealously supported the slave-holder in preference to the northern man with southern principles, although he was thereby placed in a minority among his own friends and associates. The death of General Taylor elevated Mr. Fillmore to the presidency. Mr. Wade, though sadly disappointed in the course pursued by President Fillmore, still adhered to the Whig party. He agreed with that party upon the subject of a protective tariff, river and harbor improvements, and other kindred measures, and many of the southern Whigs had proposed to hold generous and moderate sentiments on the subject of slavery, and he hoped that the old Whig party might be instrumental in bringing back the government to the purposes of its founders. He therefore, in 1852, supported the nomination of General Scott, and vigorously urged his election before the people. In March, 1854, during the agitation of the proposed repeal of the Missouri Compromise, he made a speech in the senate clearly defining his opposition to the measure, and fully demonstrating that the repeal of that act would be fraught with more evil to the country and more danger to its peace than had ever occurred to disturb the harmony of the different sections. He learned from the discussions upon the question that it was to be carried by a combination of the southern Whigs and those who, for the occasion, assumed the name of " National Democrats." At this union for such a purpose his heart sickened, and he gave utterance to his feelings in a speech delivered in the senate on the night of the final passage of the measure. The New York Tribune of that date appropriately called it the " new declaration of independence." In the course of that speech he severed his connection with the Whig party, and bade farewell to his former Whig friends of the south. A short extract from that speech may not be inappropriate. He said, " Mr. President, I do not intend to debate this subject. The humiliation of the north is complete and overwhelming. No southern enemy of the north can wish her deeper degradation. God knows, I feel it keenly enough, and I do not wish to prolong the melancholy spectacle. I have all my life belonged to the great national Whig party, and never yet have I failed, with all the ability I possessed, to support its regular nominations, come from what portion of the Union they might ; and much oftener has it been my lot to battle for a southern than for a northern nominee for the presidency, and when such candidate was assailed by those who were jealous of slave-holders, and our people did not like to yield the government to such hands, how often have I encountered the violent prejudices with no little hazard to myself. How triumphantly would I appeal on such occasions to southern honor, to the magnanimity of soul which I believed actuated southern gentlemen. Alas ! If God will pardon me for what I have done, I will promise to sin no more in that direction. We certainly cannot have any further connection with Whigs of the south. They have rendered such connection impossible. An impassable gulf separates us. The southern wing of the old Whig party have joined their fortunes with what is called the National Democracy,' and I wish you joy in your new connection. Tomorrow, I believe, there is to be an eclipse of the sun, and I think it is meet and proper that the sun in the heavens and the glory of this republic should go into obscurity and darkness together. Let the bill then pass; it is a proper occasion for so dark and damning a deed." No words could do justice to the feelings of the man, or the occasion which called them forth. From that time he knew no Whig party. He joined in the organization of the Republican party, and devoted himself. earnestly to the advocacy and support of the principles and measures of that party in congress and before the people from Maine to the Mississippi. In congress the issue was now clearly defined. The south declared the institution of slavery to be holy, and insisted that it should be extended and made coextensive with the bounds of the republic; while the north declared the institution to be inhuman and a relic of barbarism, and insisted that it should be limited to the territory it then occupied. A southern senator had declared that he would call the roll of his slaves at the foot of Bunker Hill monument, and that threat had met with defiance from northern men. The repeal of the Missouri Compromise was the torch that lighted the pile. It raised the tempest that culminated in the Rebellion. There were but few men from the north in the senate who had the courage to speak out boldly on that HISTORY OF ASHTABULA COUNTY, OHIO - 69 question, but Mr. Wade was conspicuous among that number. Events followed of a startling character. The old land-mark of peace was obliterated.. Then came the border ruffians, asking for the admission of Kansas as a slave State. Douglas, Broderick, and a few other Democrats became alarmed, and a sense of common danger drove them to take counsel with some of the most extreme radicals. Of all men in the senate, Mr. Wade was most feared, trusted, and respected by his political opponents. He was a plain, blunt man, like Marc Antony, and spoke right on. He had none of the graces of oratory ; what he said was clear, simple, and direct. In a single sentence he would sometimes annihilate an opponent. An instance of this occurred in the debate on the Kansas-Nebraska question, when Mr. Badger, of North Carolina, appealed to the senate. in a sentimental way. " What!" said he, "will you not allow me to take my old mammy with me to Kansas ; she on whose breast my infancy was cradied ; who watched over my childhood and takes pride in my manhood ?" " Yes," said Mr. Wade, " we will permit you to take your old mammy to Kansas, but we will prohibit pin, by law, from selling her after you get her there." Mr. Badger was extinguished. That argument admitted of no reply. Badger was afterwards heard to say that Wade was the only man he could never get even with. In the same debate, a New Hampshire senator was making a speech subservient to the ideas of southern gentlemen. Mr. Wade was listening attentively to him, when he suddenly turned and said he would like to put a question to the senator from Ohio. " Would he recognize his obligations and perform his duty in executing the fugitive slave law?" Mr. Wade rose, and, in language more emphatic than reverent or parliamentary, responded, " No, sir ; I'd see 'em damned first." And he immediately returned the question, but before the New Hampshire senator had completed his argumentative reply, Mr. Wade turned to the Kentucky senators and put the same question to them. The response came quickly, "No, sir ; there is no occasion for it so long as we have men like the honorable senator from New Hampshire to do it for us." Nothing could have been more humiliating to the New Hampshire senator. During those years the greatest excitement prevailed in congress, as well as the country, and scenes of violence were rife on every hand. The code of honor was prevalent at the south, while at the north it was condemned by public sentiment. The result was that the conduct of many southern men became overbearing and insolent. Challenges could be given with impunity, as it was known that no challenge could be accepted by a northern man without incurring social and political ostracism among his own people. At this time a few men in congress, among whom were Wade, Chandler,...Broderick, Douglas, and Cameron, of the senate, and Burlingame, Potter, and others of the house, agreed that they would submit to no further insolence, and that they would accept the first challenge given by any southern member of congress. That if assailed in words they would resent the insult in words, and if challenged they would fight. In the session of 1856, Mr. Sumner spoke in the senate on the " barbarism of slavery." The next day he was stricken down in the senate chamber by Preston S. Brooks, of South Carolina. Senator Toombs, of Georgia, declared that he witnessed the assault, and declared his approbation of the deed. He said, " It was nothing more than the senator from Massachusetts richly deserved ; he had played the part of a dog, and he merited the treatment of a dog." Mr. Wade, in response to Toombs, said, " Those are the sentiments of a coward and an assassin." A duel was expected as the result, and Mr. Wade made his arrangements accordingly. Colonel James Watson Webb, who before that time had some experience in dueling, volunteered to act on his behalf. Inquiries were made whether a challenge would be accepted ; but no challenge came, and on the morning of the fourth day Toombs approached Wade cheerfully, and said, " What is the use of a man's making a damned fool of himself?" " There isn't much," replied Wade, " but some men can't help it." So ended the expected duel, to the chagrin of many of the southern members. Some little time afterwards there was renewed excitement in the chamber. The Democrats were resorting to all manner of dilatory movements, when Senator Toombs arose and launched out into a most violent denunciation of the north and northern men, and especially northern members of congress. He was just in the height of his declamation, when Mr. Wade arose, and demanded to know if he was included in the invective? Mr. Toombs was suddenly brought to his senses, and replied, " No ; he excepted the senator from Ohio," and then went off into a glowing panegyric of Mr. Wade. Another instance of Mr. Wade's vindication of justice, and of his bold and decided character, came out in a passage which occurred between the Hon. John M. Clayton and himself during the existence of the American or Know-Nothing party, the purposes of which Mr. Clayton reviewed in an elaborate speech in the senate. Senator Wade was deeply interested in the passage of the " Homestead bill," and upon this bill he stood side by side with Senator Dodge, a Democratic senator from Iowa. He brought all his influence to bear upon the success of the measure, and had delivered a powerful argument in favor of the bill, setting forth the advantages to the country, the pioneer, and the emigrant. Mr. Clayton followed, commenting upon the speech in a frank but friendly spirit, to which Mr. Wade took no exceptions. The speeches were supposed to be printed in the Congressional Globe as they had been delivered in the senate. Mr. Wade took no pains to revise or prepare his speeches for publication, but trusted that work entirely to the reporter, and had not looked to see that those speeches were correctly reported. A. few days afterwards, Mr. Dodge came to him and asked him if he had seen Senator Clayton's reply to his speech on the Homestead bill, as printed in the Globe, saying, " You ought to take notice of it, as he has ascribed sentiments to you which I am sure you never held, and has put language into your mouth which you never uttered." On looking into the Globe the representations were found to be true, and Mr. Wade lost no time in calling to it the attention of the senate and the public. He was willing to suppose that the senator from Delaware had, through mistake or inadvertence, attributed to him opinions and expressions which would be offensive to his constituents and the country. He had satisfied himself that the reporter of the senate had faithfully transcribed his language, and he could not account for the course the senator from Delaware had pursued. Mr. Clayton interrupted with the remark, accompanied by a malicious glance, " When the senator gets through I will give my version of the matter." Mr. Wade concluded by saying, " It is therefore a mistake or something worse." Mr. Clayton followed in a lofty, justifying strain, in which he bore down severely on Mr. Wade, and took his seat, leaving the impression on every mind that he had made no mistake, and that his review of the speech of the senator from Ohio was exactly right. Then Mr. Wade, rising to his feet, and with a deliberate manner, and .looking Clayton full in the face, declared, " You, sir, sneaked into your office and wrote what you knew to be false." This was the signal for the intervention of the presiding officer, and the matter was at once dropped in the chamber, but of course it was anticipated that Mr. Clayton, as a southern man, would not let the matter rest. That evening Senator Pratt, of Maryland, acting as the friend of Mr. Clayton, called on Mr. Wade at his lodgings to inquire on behalf of the senator from Delaware if Mr. Wade was a fighting man,—if he reoognized the code? Free from the restraint of parliamentary rules and the decorum of the senate, Mr. Wade replied, " Go tell the scoundrel if he is tired of life and wants to know my views of dueling, he can find out by sending the communication in the usual form." Senator Pratt remonstrated upon the severity of this reply, and tried to have him soften it. " I do not desire to have you act in the matter," said Mr. Wade, " but if you tell him anything you will give him my answer unmodified." The following morning they met, and Senator Wade was first to speak. " Well, senator, what next ?" " Nothing, nothing at all," said Senator Pratt; " he is a damned old coward." There was no further intercourse between Messrs. Clayton and Wade for the remainder of the senatorial term. When within a few days of its dose, and Mr. Clayton was to retire to private life, he one day came to Senator Wade, his eyes filled with tears, and his voice trembling with emotion, and said, " Senator, that affair which has so long interrupted our friendship, has cost me more trouble of mind than almost any other of my life. I feel that I have done you injustice, and that I ought to rectify it here in the senate, before I leave it forever. I will do so in any manner you may suggest." And the brave heart, so quick to vindicate wounded honor, melted immediately with kindness. " No," said he: " Mr. Clayton, it would have gratified me in the day of it; but it has long gone by, the circumstance is forgotten ; to revive it now will only open to the public an old wound which they think nothing of. It will be, up-hill business to do it now. Let it rest in oblivion where we have consigned it." They grasped hands. Such was the magnanimity which covered the fault of a fellow-man. These qualities of mind and heart made him respected even by his most violent political opponents in the senate far more than many a northern doughface, whose subserviency they both employed and despised. After these occurrences they were really better friends than if he had truckled to their dictation, or failed to show that be would brook no insolence and hold no malice. In truth, it became quite customary for gentlemen from the south to pay him public compliments, and the matter went so far that one day when Senator Mason had been saying some very nice things of him, he, with some pleasantry, repelled the praise, responding to the senator from Virginia, " Sir, if you do not stop saying these things of me it will ruin me at home." It became quite common with some of the southern members of congress to affect great independence of northern markets and manufactures by wearing what they called home-made clothing. In this matter Senator Mason, of Virginia, was quite conspicuous. He appeared one day in the senate chamber clad from top to Me in a genuine suit of Virginia gray. Wade accosted him. " Well, senator, you are well dressed to-day," at the same time closely inspecting his dress. "Yes," said Mason, "I mean to do justice by the south, and by my own State in particular. We will show that we are not dependent upon the north for a shred of anything." Wade, looking full of 70 - HISTORY OF ASHTABULA COUNTY, OHIO. mischief, stepped up closer, and, taking hold of a button on Mason's coat, said, "Of course you will do that. In what part of the south did you obtain these buttons?" They were, in fact, made in Connecticut, and Mason's face fell as he growled out, " Nobody but a damned Yankee would have found that out." Senator Evans, of South Carolina, a very bigoted and precise man, once came into the senate ohamber, and, taking his seat, lifted up a copy of the Anti-Slavery Standard, which some one had placed there in his absence, and then, turning to Mr. Wade, who was standing by, observed, " Who could have put thid vile thing upon my desk ?" " Why," said Wade, "it is a most excellent family paper." " Ugh !" said Evans, "I would no sooner touch it than I would touch a toad." At this Wade laughed heartily, and left the old gentleman in his tribulation. On another occasion, at the very close of the session, Mr. Evans was in trouble about some bill, of no general importance, but in which the a number of his constituents were inter- ested. He had been trying all w ter to get it passed ; but a few hours of the session remained, and his anxiety was intensified. It was late at night ; Senator Foote, of Vermont, was nodding in the chair. The senate had been in continuous session for two days and nights. Probably not a quorum was present or could have been found. Some were absent, some in the ante-rooms, eating or sleeping ; only a few who could get the floor were attending to business. In his distress he came across the chamber to Mr. Wade, on the radical aide of the hall, a thing he seldom did, and which was almost as offensive to him as the innocent paper he had found on his desk, and said, " Here, sir, I have been all winter trying to get a bill through in which some five hundred of my old neighbors are interested, and the time is rapidly passing. What can I do?" " My friend," said the senator, " jump right up now, interrupt the proceedings, call up your bill ; now is the very time. I will help you." Evans went back to his seat and commenced fumbling about for a copy of his bill, somewhat dazed at the sudden suggestion of his counselor, when Wade was on his feet and called out, " Mr. President, the senator from South Carolina, Mr. Evans, has a bill of a private nature which has been pending for a long time ; he is anxious it should pass. I move the rules be suspended for that purpose. It will take but a moment." No one objected ; Mr. Evans was recognized almost before he was aware of it. His bill was passed, much to his delight. " I declare," said he, " nobody but a Yankee would have gone to work in that way." This was the southern fashion in those days ; they spoke of all northern people as Yankees. Snob promptness of action and readiness in expedients were always characteristic of him, at the bar as well as in legislative halls. Captain M. H. Simonds commanded a company in Colonel Ball's regiment of cavalry in the Mexican war. He died in the service, leaving three horses and a full outfit for the campaign. The major of the regiment, as his duty required, took possession of the property and converted it to cash. The major also died in the service, never having accounted for the property, and leaving his estate insolvent. The mother of Captain Simonds, who was a widow, applied to the departments at Washington for compensation, but the claim was rejected on the ground that the loss arose from the failure of the major to discharge his duty in accounting for the property, and the government does not hold itself responsible for the failure of its agents. The equity of the case seemed so strong that she appealed to congress for relief, and the application was placed in the hands of Senator Wade. The bill passed the senate promptly, but the committee on pensions, to which the bill was referred in the house of representatives, rejected the claim for the same reason urged against it by the departments. At the next session of congress the bill was again passed through the senate, went to the house, and was again referred to the committee on pensions, and the committee reported against the claim as before. Mr. Wade labored with the chairman of the committee, and urged the equity of the claim, but he was deaf to all entreaties, and assured Mr. Wade that he should not permit the bill to pass, under any circumstances, as he should regard its passage as a dangerous precedent. Some few days after, Mr. Wade went into the house of representatives and 'found the house engaged in passing private bills, and he observed that the chairman of the committee on pensions was absent. He went to the seat of Mr. Morgan, of New York, and told him the nature and merits of the claim and the difficulties attending its passage. Mr. Morgan ex-.pressed his desire to aid him, but feared that nothing could be done ; that it could not be carried over an adverse report of the committee. " Why," said Mr. Wade, " don't you see that they are now taking up the reports of committees and passing the bills without objection ?" " Yes," said Morgan, " but in those cases the reports are all in favor of the claims, and in this case the report, you see, is against the claim." " But," said Wade, " you can move to take up the report and put the bill on its passage without mentioning the fact that the report is adverse." Morgan consented to try the experiment. The motion prevailed, and the bill passed without objection. Thus an equitable claim triumphed over technical objections. In September, 1860, Senator Broderick, of California, fell in a duel. Mr. Wade held that gentleman in high estimation, and regarded him as one of the most reliable men in the senate on the subject of northern rights, which were then imperiled. And the circumstances regarding his death were such that Mr. Wade regarded him as a martyr to the cause of freedom. The following expression of his estimate of the character of Senator Broderick, as made in the senate, is quoted here because of the striking similarity of character between the fallen senator, as described by Mr. Wade, and his distinguished eulogist : " Mr. President, though not of the same political party, I cannot suffer this occasion to pass without expressing my deep sense of the noble qualities and manly character of David C. Broderick. It was my good fortune to become well acquainted with him soon after he took his seat in this body. He was unassuming in manner, but frank, outspoken, and sincere, despising all intrigue and indirection. He was possessed of an excellent understanding and a fine capacity for business. His love of justice was remarkable. Having once determined and settled in his own mind what was right, he was as immovable as the hills. Neither the threats or blandishments of power nor personal peril could move him from his purpose. Being of the people, their rights, interests, and their advancement was the polar star of his action. For these he was at all times ready to labor, and, if need be, to die. In short, he was the very soul of honor, without fear and without reproach. The lees of such a man, Mr. President, is indeed a public calamity." Buchanan's administration had been as weak and imbecile as it was possible to be, and events were culminating rapidly. The Republican party had been forced into existence by the very necessity of the time. The presidential canvass of 1860 had resulted in the election of Mr. Lincoin, and the time intervening between November and the ensuing March, when he was to be inaugurated, was used by southern members of congress to promote the project of secession, and to plunge the country into civil war. It was a period of the utmost uncertainty and anxiety, when men's hearts failed them for fear, and when many who had been resolute on the slavery question were trembling, vacillating, and ready to give everything to the demands of the south. Mr. Wade was one of the few men who never flinched. He looked the question squarely in the face, and acted in that great emergency with a cooiness and deliberation which now seem surprising. He was one of the famous joint committee of thirteen to take into consideration the last peace resolutions ever offered in congress for the conciliation of the two sections,—the resolutions presented by Mr. Crittenden, of Kentucky. His associates on that committee from the senate were Messrs. Davis, Mason, Toombs, and Benjamin. In the consultations of this committee every inducement brought to bear on Mr. Wade to make him swerve one hair's breadth from the line of his convictions proved utterly futile. He told Mr. Davis, who was the acknowledged leader of the southern men in congress, that he was convinced that while the south professed to desire peace, that she meant war ; that the resolutions, however well designed by their author, were only a delusion and a snare; that the north would not accept them, and even if she did, it would not satisfy the augmenting demands of the south. " Well," said Jefferson Davis, " if war comes it will not be on our section on which it will spend its force." He had good reason for saying this, for the opposition journals of the north were teeming with declarations that if the black Republicans adopted any measures of coercion to prevent secession they would first have to encounter opposition at home, and to walk over the dead bodies of countless Democrats, who would not, in such a crisis, abandon the cause of their southern brethren. But the reply of Mr. Wade showed how well be understood the situation, how clearly he saw the real heart of his countrymen through the mist and darkness of that perilous hour. "I know," said he, "what the city of New York has done ; I know the resolutions which have just been passed by two hundred thousand Democrats in Ohio, and I know what has been done in Indiana; and let them carry out the doctrine and purpose of their resolutions who can. But the first gun that is fired will secure emancipation, and the Democrats will desert you. They are now leading you into a trap, and, like the devil, they will leave you there to get out the best way you can." The consultations of the committee failed ; the counsels of the great peace convention, held at Washington about the same time, failed. Everything faired which even looked towards peace. The tide of alienation was sweeping all before it. The Republican members of congress, giving themselves up to the drifting current of events, sat silent while the torrent of speech-making was flowing from southern lips. At length Mr. Wade got the floor for the ensuing Monday; meantime Mr. Douglas came to him and said, " I want to make a speech. It shall be strong anti-slavery. There is no use talking longer for peace. I will make the speech on Monday if you will yield me the floor." To this Mr. Wade assented, and Douglas kept his mind until Sunday night, and then gave up his purpose. It was just as well. Mr. Wade occupied the floor on that signal Monday. He did not speak very long, but long enough to exhibit the real situation. His words were blunt and plain. He closed by saying, " You have made yourselves believe that you can whip the north. If, however, you should make a little mistake here, you will be in hell !" He afterwards remarked that Stephens, HISTORY OF ASHTABULA COUNTY, OHIO - 71 of Georgia, had told them the same thing. That speech had a vast influence. From that timo forward there was little talk of peace. The southern States, led on by South Carolina, began to take measures and pass ordinances of secession. The southern members of congress began to make farewell speeches, and to vacate their seats in the capitol. The 4th of March arrived. Mr. Lincoin was inaugurated in a scene of the greatest excitement and apprehension ; and old President Buchanan was relieved, at once and forever, of the burden of a position where he had been sitting for the last three months of his term crying and wringing his hands and sobbing out his broken and incoherent and despairing conversations with his visitors,' I have been the last President of the United States." Fort Sumter was attacked on the 12th of April, 1861. Congress had done its work and gone. The new congress was summoned to meet on the 4th of July of the same year. Senator Wade was early recognized as one of the few spirits who had the nerve to meet the great emergency. He was the chairman of the joint committee on the conduct of the war, and held this position during the whole of that bloody struggle which followed. He was up early and late ; he did an immense amount of business, visiting the different sections of the country and the armies in the field, and making reports, from time to time, on the progress of the strife, the subjects of which now fill eight large volumes, containing some of the most thrilling passages in the history of the war. It was towards the close of Mr. Lincoin's first term that the brilliant success in the southwest, which re-opened Louisiana to the Federal jurisdiction, induced him to propose a line of policy for the restoration of the recusant States that would have left the whole subject of emancipation in a very precarious condition. Senator Wade, who was then chairman of the committee on Territories in the senate, and Henry Winter Davis, who was chairman of the committee on Territories in the house of representatives, were the only men who stood up openly opposed to this policy. The subject came up just at the close of the session, which gave them no opportunity to present the question fairly before congress. They therefore prepared a powerful manifesto against the proposal of the President, signed it, and sent it to the New York Tribune for publication. Tried and pronounced against slavery, in all its forms, as were the conductors of that paper, they refused to publish the document; but it was issued in the form of a circular, and effectually did the work : the scheme was abandoned. This was done, not out of opposition to Mr. Lincoln, but because they saw more clearly than he seemed to see, the pernicious tendency of his policy ; they stood by him notwithstanding. He was chosen for a second term, and at last the ful struggle was ended. In his rejoicing over the result, Mr. Lincoln was about again to yield to the weakness of excessive kindness. He actually went down to Richmond, after its occupation by our troops, and gave a private order to General Heintzleman, then in command in that city, to convene the old Confederate Virginia State legislature, and to clothe them with all the authority they possessed as a legislative body before the act of secession. Then it was that Senator Wade again remonstrated and brought down upon himself much ignorant and ill-timed censure of the press. But the result showed him to be right in this, as he was in his joint action with Mr. Davis before. A commission of military men was formed to examine the action of the officer in charge at Richmond. When asked upon what authority he had convoked the rebel legislature, he quietly drew forth an order in the handwriting of Abraham Lincoln, bearing a foot-note which read, " Show this to no one but Judge John A. Campbell," who was still in Richmond, having been a member of the rebel cabinet. But in the midst of these rapid and marvelous events President Lincoln was shot down. The nation and the world were shocked by the murderous deed. The whole order of things was changed by the elevation of Andrew Johnson to the presidential chair. Johnson proved false to the Republican party and to the interests of the nation. Mr. Wade was now regarded as the head of the Republican party in the senate. He was made president pro tern. of the senate, and became vice-president in fact. The impeachment trial of Johnson followed, and he was acquitted by one vote. Had that trial resulted differently, Mr. Wade would have succeeded Johnson in the presidential chair. In 1869, Mr. Wade retired from the senate, and up to the time of his death remained much in private life, occasionally, however, engaged in professional affairs, which required his attendance at Washington during most of the sessions of congress. When, however, the excitement arose on the Saint Domingo question, President Grant appointed him chairman of the commission to visit Saint Domingo. The expedition was successfully accomplished, and a report was made which sustained the views of the President anu his action in relation thereto. In 1875, Mr. Wade participated in the State canvass, and several public speeches were made by him in behalf of the Republican party and General Hayes, its candidate for governor. He was a delegate from the Seventeenth congressional district of Ohio in the Republican convention in 1876, and was very influential in procuring the nomination of General Hayes as the candidate for the presidency. 18 He was also one of the presidential electors for the State at large, that cast the vote of Ohio for General Hayes for President, and was selected to convey the electoral votes to Washington. He took a deep interest in the affairs of the nation, and was prompt in expressing his disapprobation of the policy adopted by President Hayes, regarding his course as unjust to the Republicans of the south and as endangering the perpetuity of the Republican party, which Mr. Wade regarded as essential to good government and the protection of the rights of the citizens. In the summer of 1861, when the call of the President was issued for seventy-five thousand men, in pursuance of a proclamation by the governor of Ohio the citizens of Jefferson came together and were addressed by Mr. Wade. A call was made for volunteers, and Mr. Wade's name appeared first upon the roll. The requisite number for a company was immediately obtained, and the company was organized and their services tendered to the governor. But the result showed that seven companies in Ashtabula County had organized at the same time, and the governor could receive only two of that number. The Jefferson company was not one of those selected. Through life Mr. Wade was abstemious in his habits, alike in eating and drinking, and he possessed a strong and vigorous constitution, which rendered him capable of great endurance, and this, with his indomitable perseverance and untiring industry, always enabled him to discharge with promptness whatever duties devolved upon him. Hence he never seemed to be pressed with business, but possessed much of apparent leisure. He was plain and unassuming in manners, whatever position he held, whether at the bar, on the bench, or presiding over the senate of the nation. He was zealous and earnest in the advocacy of measures, and sometimes sarcastic in language, but he impressed all who heard him with his sincerity, and he rarely created an enemy. He was prudent and economical in his personal expenses, but liberal in his charities, and the sufferer never went empty-handed from his door when be had the power to relieve. Integrity of purpose and a keen sense of honor were conspicuous traits in his character. The writer of this sketch on one occasion went into his law-office and found him alone and apparently moody and in ill temper ; at length he broke out: " I never have felt so humiliated in my life as by an incident that has just occurred. I cannot restrain myself from speaking of it, and still I should feel disgraced in the opinion of all honest men were it made public." He referred to a citizen of intelligence and good standing in the community, saying, " That man has just left my office, and while here he referred to a suit which I am prosecuting against him, indirectly offering me a consideration if I would not press the suit against him. My first impression," said Wade, " was to kick him out of the office ; but on reflection, on second thought, I was so humiliated by the proposition that it seemed to me that I had been guilty of some wrong myself. I asked him what I had ever done, or what he had ever seen or heard of me that led him to suppose it was safe to offer me a bribe to induce treachery to my client." Mr. Wade said it was the first time he had ever been approached by any man with such an intimation, and he hoped his character for integrity stood high enough so that it might never be repeated. It probably never occurred again. And his friends have the satisfaction of knowing that through his long career of public and private duties no man ever impeached his integrity or made a charge of pecuniary wrong against him. Since the foregoing sketch was prepared for publication Mr. Wade has passed away. The following announcement of his death in the Cleveland Herald, of March 4, 1878, we append, as a just tribute to his memory. OBITUARY. EX-SENATOR BENJAMIN F. WADE. The Hon. Benjamin Franklin Wade, formerly United States senator from Ohio, died at his home in Jefferson, Ashtabula County, March 2, after an illness of more than four weeks, which he bore with characteristic fortitude. The news of the death of Mr. Wade, at the ripe age of seventy-eight years, has long been anticipated by the public. His vigorous constitution gave way slowly to disease, and death came only after a long and painful struggle. Mr. Wade has for a quarter of a century been a prominent figure in the politics of Ohio, and Is among the last of the anti-slavery pioneers. Elected to the senate by the Whig party in Ohio, in 1851; after serving two terms in the senate of this State, and as judge of his district, he was twice re-elected, and for eighteen years held a conspicuous position in the councils of the nation. His fame as a statesman will rest upon his long, earnest, and devoted adherenee to the principles of the anti-slavery party in America. It was during his term of service in the senate that the slavery excitement culminated in civil war, and the north and south met in bloody conflict to decide the Issue by an appeal to arms. From his entrance into the senate be was known as an Abolitionist, and one year after taking hie seat voted in favor of the repeal of the fugitive slave law. On all questions calculated to extend or benefit slavery he was always found bravely and fearlessly in the opposition, and his speeches against the repeal of the Missouri Compromise, the Locompton constitution for Kansas, the purchasing of. Cuba, are all fresh in the memory of our people. A genuine friend of the laboring man, he advocated for years the passage of the Homestead bill, and had charge of the measure when it passed the senate. As chairman of the joint committee on the conduct of the war, he urged the most vigorous action on the part of our armies, favored confiscation of the property of leading rebels, and the 72 - HISTORY OF ASHTABULA COUNTY, OHIO. emancipation of their slaves. He was prominent in compelling the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia, and in 1862 reported a bill abolishing slavery in all the Territories of the Union, or in any that might bo acquired. His connection with the impeachment of President Johnson is well known, and his narrow escape from becoming President familiar to all our readers. When Mr. Wade entered the senate he was unknown to nearly all its members. Plain in person and speech, with homespun manners and provincial dress, holding principles abhorrent to nearly all his colleagues, he met with a cold reception, and for a time was almost personally ignored. He was placed on no committee, and the majority of the senate took small pains to disguise how little sympathy they felt for him or his principles. But Mr. Wade was naturally a bold, fearless, courageous man, and the efforts to silence his voice and discourage his speech were early met by him with open defiance, and senators soon found he not only PM determined to be heard, but had the will and the pluck to assert his rights fearlessly and with manly vigor. He sought no personal quarrel, nor avoided one by any sacrifice of principle. It was soon discovered that the plain, unassuming man from Ohio was equal to any emergency, and would prove an ugly customer if forced into a merely personal conflict. Hence he gained the genuine respect of his opponents, and finally their warm friendship and regard. Mr. Wade, during the years of his publio life, was eminently trusted and beloved by the people. They liked his rugged manner, plain, straightforward, homely speech. They knew he was earnest, honest, sincere. His fearless utterances upon the question of human liberty found a ready response in their hearts, and his stirring eloquence upon the stump aroused their enthusiasm and stimulated their real. Few men could portray the evils of slavery with more effective skill, and his denunciation of the "hellish traffic" in human beings found ready response in the heart of his hearers. The life of Mr. Wade has been one eminently useful to his country. From the humblest position, with scanty education, and from the home of poverty, relying upon his own common sense, shrewdness, and practical nature, ho rose steadily in the affection and confidence of the people, until he became the acting vice-president of the United States. Mr. Wade was the most earnest and sincere of men in his convictions, and even under the influence of strong emotion had full command of suitable and expressive words, and the power to move his hearers in strains of true and genuine eloquence. His manners were open and frank, his speech at all times free and unreserved, and the absolute sincerity of the man was stamped in every line of his countenance. Photo. by M. A. Loomis. Jellorson, O. JOSHUA R. GIDDINGS.* Turn back the years to 1806, and imagine the state of the American world of that period. Telegraphs, railroads, and steamboats,—steam itself, were not. The west was an undreamed-of empire, the east a possibility. The population of the United States was but six millions. Ancient Boston dwindles to a town of twenty-five thousand, and New York shrinks to sixty-five thousand. If one should journey west, he would find less than six thousand in the old town of Albany, Buffalo a straggling village of a thousand, while the huts and cabins of Cleveland held less than a hundred souls ; Cincinnati would have twelve or fifteen hundred; and there were the old towns of Marietta and Chillicothe, in the infant State of Ohio, four years old. Her whole population did not number fifty thousand, scattered in rude cabins through her interminable forests, which sheltered many fragments of Indian tribes, and hid the scenes of savage ambuscades, battle forays and fields, destined * By Hon. A. G. Riddle. to be renewed within her borders. All animals known to her natural history, save the buffalo, inhabited her woods in undiminished numbers. The river whose name she bore ran in solitude along her southern border, and the lake, a lonely waste of waters, was the boundary of her unpeopled northern wilderness. With her nine outline counties, she was herself but a giant outline, whose fortune was yet to be fashioned. The Federal capital, six years old, was an unseemly scattered village, unconscious that within the span of a single life it was to be the scene of interminable war between the darkness of old oppression and the light of new aspiration, the chronic barbarity of centuries and the long-repressed throbbings of freedom. The element of slavery which had enmeshed itself in the fibre of the organic law of the nation was an ever-active principle, insidiously extending and pervading, corrupting the sources of thought and springs of action, moulding the policy, and inspiring the national law, till the unconscious republic awoke, to mark with little concern the wide departure already taken from the principles on which it had been founded. It awoke, bound and helpless, seemingly without the will, almost without a wish to return to them. The land was yet to be filled with many millions, new States were to be born, great cities to spring up, ere this conflict should set its armed hosts in battle array. The men of these armies were yet to be born, and in that final struggle the thought, the intelligence that should mould and marshal the minds and opinions of the free States, and so conduct them to the inevitable contest, were yet to have birth, take form, be worked out, diffused, accepted, and acted upon. The men who were to do this great work were already in childhood, and unconsciously receiving the tuition, taking the bent that should fit them for their mission. Men of the old heroic mould they must be. Men capable of sacrificing all, enduring all, daring all. Clear to see, strong to feel, inflexible in justice, relentless in hatred, changeless in love, narrow and bigoted it may be for the right, never wearying, never despairing. Men of power, of resources, masters of themselves, greatly practical, who could wield themselves as hammers, as claymores, as rapiers. A man fitted to this work must be one born and practiced to partisan warfare, who could assault a fortification single-handed, withstand a thousand in the field alone, or with his single arm defend a pass against an army. One who on the approach of success could see himself superseded by the soldiers of his own training, see Om wear and bear the crown and fruits of victory. Such men must be of the people, knowing them, and what will move them. From the levels of life, knowing all around, above, and below them. The woods of the infant Ohio, with the wild Indians and beasts in them, its virgin soil, fresh life, and rude experiences, were to be the nursery, the training-ground, of one of the foremost of these exceptional men. The 16th of June, 1806, was noted for a total eclipse of the sun. Darkness came down on an emigrant team of four oxen slowly moving a wagon in which were a middle-aged woman, a fresh young girl—a bride, whose young husband drove the cattle and guided the movement, aided by a youth, and attended by a lad of ten. Just across the Ohio and Pennsylvania line were they when the darkness came down, and they were obliged to camp in the woods. They journeyed, all the way from Canandaigua, for weeks on the road ; from Buffalo, much of the way on the lake-beach, beaten hard by the waves. Six days more to the point of rest and toil. One night's camp in the forest, caused by the breaking of the wagon, and they were kept awake by the howling of the near wolves, the most melancholy and plaintive sound of all the wilds. At night-fall of the 21st they crossed a stream called by the natives Pymatuning; on the thither bank they found a deserted wigwam, where they passed the night, not far from the famous Omic's town. The next day they made their way across the woods to where the centre of Wayne now is, in Ashtabula County, where they found a new rude cabin, without hearth, chimney, or window, surrounded by a small clearing, prepared by the father and eldest son, who went on the preceding winter. The man was Joshua Giddings, and these were his wife, children, and son-in-law. The lad was Joshua Reed Giddings, just arrived to finish his growth and complete his education. The Giddingses came over from England in 1635, and settled in Gloucester, Massachusetts. The boy's great-grandfather removed to Lynn, Connecticut, about 1725, and there his father was born. In 1753 the family changed ita residence to Hartland, in the same State ; thence, in 1773, his father, having acquired a family, removed to Bradford county, Pennsylvania. The mother was Elizabeth Pease, descended from John Pease, who settled on Martha's Vineyard in 1635. Nomadic were the Giddingses, as if gathering here and there material and elements to furnish forth the remarkable man who was to crown their line. Joshua R. was the youngest of his father's family, and was born at Tioga Point, Bradford county, Pennsylvania, October 6, 1795, two years after the birth of the first fugitive slave act. Six weeks after his advent his parents removed to Canandaigua, a new but fertile region. Here they remained till the migration to Ohio. In the HISTORY OF ASHTABULA. COUNTY, OHIO - 73 winter preceding, the elder Joshua, accompanied by his oldest sou, made his way into the woods, built a cabin, cleared a space of ground, planted a garden and small corn-field, where they were joined by the rest of the family, as stated. It was at the beginning of the colonization of the Western Reserve by New England. So much of Massachusetts and Connecticut transplanted and translated into the freer expanse of the west. Vigor, hardihood, courage, and enterprise were needed to carry the emigrants so far into the wilderness. An exercise of the same qualities, with endurance, industry, frugality, and hopefuiness, were necessary to their maintenance in their forest homes. Their lives were elementary. They took everything at first hand. When their small supply of food and clothing was exhausted they must go to the earth, the forest; streams, and Indians, to the wild fruits of the plum bottoms. They carried with them the frugality, industry, religious faith, love of law and liberty, the hope and wish of bettering their condition, with the habits of thought, intelligence, and deep strong lines of character, of their dear " down country" home, relieved of the constraints of the older society and the oppressions of poverty. They planted themselves and native institutions in a more fertile soil, a more genial climate, a perfectly free atmosphere, with the glow and warm life of young communities, under conditions that called into constant exercise the warmest social elements, and permitted the rapid development of individual traits, where men are strong and women fruitful. The first years were a struggle for existence ; the first social condition that of absolute democracy,—the best for the formation of character. From what young Joshua grew to be we may fancy what he was at ten,—a tall, raw, rather shapeless boy, with a pleasant face, frolicsome gray eyes, and abundant light, curly hair, that grew dark, fairish till the sun tanned him. He had alas-tend the English alphabet in Canandaigua. He has a plenty of growing and filling out to do, and the rudiments of a great many things to master. He had doubtless acquired some elements of pioneer life, and rapidly gained the knowledge and habits of wood-craft. The faithful, patient oxen were unyoked and turned into the woods with a bell on the neck of " Bright," and it was his duty to bring them up at night-fall, and he soon became familiar with all the forest haunts, and could conduct his mother and sister to the nearest neighbors, two miles and a half away, and made the acquaintance of most of the wild animals of the forest, including Omic and his Massasauga red folk, at their town on Indian Pymatuning. When the corn ripened a cavity was hollowed in the top of a large hard wood stump with fire, and a heavy pestle attached to a spring-pole hung over it, and in this "camp mortar" he did the family grinding. He was soon furnished with an axe, and, broad-shouldered and long-armed, he became an export axeman, one of the most thoughtful of all employments. Next came the shot-gun and rifle, old flint-locks. That first autumn we know that the pioneers sowed wheat on the corn-land, and were busy felling the trees during the winter ; that they constructed a chimney of sticks and clay mortar, and a atone hearth, and lit up the one-roomed cabin with bright wood-fires and hickory-bark torches ; that the boys climbed up a ladder and slept in the loft, and put their clothes under the bed to keep them from being covered with snow. We know that they heard the wolves howl every night, and that many deer came about their small clearing, and that the young men became hunters ; that they had a supply of venison, many wild turkeys, and occasionally a bit of delicious bear-meat from their own guns or from Omic's hunters ; that in the spring they made sap-troughs with their axes, tapped the maples, and made sugar ; that they cleared a good deal of land that season and raised potatoes and flax ; that somebody became a benefactor and set up a saw-mill not far away ; that a cow was purchased that summer, a log barn built with a thrashing-floor, and hand-flails were made, and a hand-fan to winnow the new wheat, which it took three days to carry to a mill ; that new settlers came, new cabins were built, and more woods cut away. Roads were opened and bridges built, more cows were driven in, and sheep made their appearance, hand-cards for wool and hatchels for flax, wheels and looms, and finally somebody set up a fulling-mill. We know that the elder Giddings was a God-fearing Presbyterian, and the first Sabbath-worship was held at his cabin during the first summer ; that a school was established the second winter, and that the new community in the woods began to assume the forms and practice the usages of civil and social life. Young Giddings grew up, passing through all the vicissitudes of frontier life. Seeing the sun rise and set amid the trees till his own hands had helped to clear them away. Eating venison and bear-meat, wearing a tow frock and pants in the summer, and butternut-colored flannel, faced and seated with deerskin, in the winter, with his feet in Indian moccasins. Chopping, logging, and clearing Ind, gathering ashes and boiling black salts, making maple-sugar, going to mill, hunting stray cattle on the bottom lands, breaking steers, turning grindstone, and saying the New England Catechism. Became a hunter expert with the rifle. Spent days and nights in the woods. A fisherman, and knew all the streams, with excursions to the lake. Went to meeting and Sunday-school. Docile, and of a joyous temperament, an athlete, trained in pioneer life, where muscle and agility are at a premium, the swiftest footman, and the masterful wrestler of all the strapping youths of the range, he grew broad in the shoulders, deep in the chest, straight of limb, strong of loin, erect, carrying his massive head with the pose of a man, his motions and manners fashioned in the free, bold atmosphere of the west ; dreaming his boy dreams and thinking his boy thoughts. Hearing stories of adventure in forest, of hunting and Indian warfare. Legends of down-east life and catching echoes of the great world beyond the woods. Came the War of 1812. Suddenly to the dwellers in the woods ; a frightened whisper borne on the wind ; and later the terrible names of Proctor, and Tecumth4 on the Maumee, and marching eastward. Hull surrendered Detroit and the whole of Michigan in August, and there was a call for soldiers. Though but sixteen, young Giddings took his place in the ranks of Colonel Hayes' regiment, which was hurried on to the Huron, encamping near the present town of Milan. From this point, Major Frasier, with one hundred and thirty men, was pushed forward to a little stockade, afterwards known as Fort Stephenson, and famous for its defense by Croghan. Of this band was our young soldier, which was soon weakened by sickness. On the 28th of September came word that Indians were plundering the abandoned farms on the " Peninsula," and sixty-four men, under Captain Cotton, volunteered at night-fall to meet them. Young Giddings, on coming off guard, found them marching at drum-beat up and down for recruits, and took his place with them. They made the advance by water that night, fought two sharp battles the next day, lost twelve men and their boats. The Indians were more numerous and might have cut them off, but were too roughly handied. Their hardships were very great on the return. Their old friend Omic, to whom they had always been kind, must have led the enemy, as his scalping-knife was found in the body of one of their slain, advertising his presence and prowess. Colonel Hayes' regiment was not needed for long service, and after five months the young soldier returned home. It is curious that, although several men were killed in this affair on the Peninsula, no account of it is to be found in any history of the war. Though his term of service was short, it was very useful in many ways to young Giddings. His strength, vigor, and endurance on the march, good conduct in camp, his courage and coolness in battle, were themes of praise through the regiment, and laid the foundation for the love and confidence of the people within his personal influence. The restraints and discipline of even five months' service were a useful lesson to him. Though the young soldier returned, the war-cloud darkened the woods that sheltered his home. In the early autumn General Harrison assumed command of the northwestern army, yet to be created. In the latter part of January, 1813, Winchester was surprised, captured, and his army massacred at the river Raisin. In February, Perry was constructing his fleet at Erie, and Harrison compelled Proctor and Teeuvaltd to raise the siege of Fort Meigs early in the following May. They made another invasion of the Ohio the following summer, and were beaten off at Fort Stephenson in August. Then came the famous sea-fight of Perry, followed by the flight, pursuit, and capture of Proctor's army and the death of Tecumtha. Though the tide of war rolled backward and forward across the border below Lake Erie, flight and terror were forever banished from the homes and dreams of maids and matrons in the cabins of the Western Reserve. The elder Joshua had invested his all in lands, the title to which failed ; the party of whom he purchased was insolvent, and he was reduced to poverty, from which he never recovered. He changed his place of habitation and began anew, and the youngest son was remitted to his old tussle with the trees and beasts of the forest. A writer in the New York Tribune said of' him that he suffered and accomplished more between his tenth and twentieth years than any other young man on the frontier. There were no schools, no time or opportunity for education. Few books, no newspapers, or magazines. It is said that all the days spent by him in school in any place of public instruction were but a few weeks. Nevertheless, among his sagacious neighbors, he acquired the reputation of a scholar. He early manifested that avidity and eagerness for knowledge, that longing for books, which amounts to biblionnuia. Every book that he could hear of, within long distances of his father's cabin,—and his information was extensive in this respect,—that he could borrow, and none were refused him, every pamphlet, newspaper, or scrap of print that his hands could reach, he made his own. History, travels, biography, the Bible, poetry, tales,—all, he made their life-blood his. Every crevice of time, every moment snatched from toil or needed sleep, by the hickory torch, the sugar-camp fire, at his hunter's camp, was devoted to reading and study. No volume was too soiled or worn, no author was so dull that he did not find them of interest. Stupidity, which is said to be too much for the gods, yielded to his assaults when in print. It was before the improvements in schoolbooks with new methods. Ho came into possession of a Lindley Murray, and mastered English. Rev. Harvey Coe helped him into mathematics, and he helped 74 - HISTORY OF ASHTABULA COUNTY, OHIO. himself forward. At nineteen he was solicited to teach school. He undertook it. His was a mind to profit more than those of his scholars by his efforts to instruct them, even when most successful in that. This season of teaching was his own best time of pupilage. This self-communing mind and soul, nursed in forest solitude, reared in familiar intercourse with nature, fertile in expedients, trained by intercourse with people who showed him all their native qualities without restraint and thus helped to mature, early became familiar with the whisperings of young ambition, and dreamed of position and influence among his fellows. Such success attended his efforts that he was enabled to undertake the study of law at twenty-three, which he did in the office of the late Elisha Whittlesey, at Canfield, Ohio, from which so many distinguished lawyers graduated, and who was himself worthy of a memoir. One would like to know what books he read at that day. Plowden, Fearno, Bacon's Abridgement, Powel's works, Buller'a Nisi Priue were d_oubtless among them. Whatever they were, one knows he mastered them. He was eminently fitted by nature for the study of the common law, and at the end of the two years' reading he was an inchoate lawyer. He was admitted to the bar in 1821, and commenced practice at the small town of Jefferson, the shire town of Ashtabula County. Less numerous in proportion to the whole number of people, the lawyers of that time occupied a higher positidn in popular estimation than at the present, not so much by reason of any individual superiority or greater learning. In this last respect they were probably not the equals of the same class of to-day. Nor is this the place to discuss the causes of the difference in the consideration accorded to the lawyers of the two periods. It is doubtless due to the causes which have wrought general changes in the tone and spirit of social life in this country in the past fifty years. No calling among a free people so well fits a man for leadership of his fellows as the bar, to which is mainly due the preponderance of the men of that profession in public life ; and usually there is nothing so fatal to continuous success at the bar as any considerable withdrawal from it for political employment or a position on the bench. With us, eminence as a lawyer is not attainable without fair ability as an advocate. Fortunately, most men, American born, can acquire reasonable fluency in speech. No people, ancient or modern, surpass us in this respect. Among the endowments essential to the qualification of an advocate is the capacity to see and feel intensely one and his side of a case,—the reverse of the judicial. It is probable that a country practice, on the whole, presents a better school for the formation of that many-sidedness so necessary to a popular leader than that of a large city. He deals with a wider range of cases, sees and mingles with a greater variety of men. In cities there occurs among lawyers that usual division of labor which tends to specialties, so fatal to the production of fitness for leadership. A residence in a small town has its disadvantages, hardly in existence at the time of which I write, in the west. While a man can much easier acquire a reputation in a village, he soon reaches the limit of what it can do for him in this respect. It is only a great city that can make his name widely renowned. In 1821, the period of Mr. Giddings' appearance in the courts, the region of his practice was still sparsely populated, the courts sat in log structures, the cases few and fees small. There was this compensation : nothing was then so attractive to the people as a lawsuit, and no point could equal in interest the county-seat during court week, and no men were so famous as the ready, fluent lawyers. The court of common pleas had a wide jurisdiction, composed of four members elected by the legislature, a presiding judge, usually the most eminent lawyer of the circuit, and three associates, laymen, of the county where it sat. The circuit was composed of five or six counties, in which this court was held three times each year. The supreme court was composed of four judges, which was also a circuit court with a jury, and sat in each county once each year. It early began to reserve cases to be heard by the four judges in bane,—the origin of the fixed sessions of that court. In the early of his student days Mr. Giddings was married to Laura Waters. All marriages of the young were pure love-matches then. Imprudent for any other but this, any man is safe with such a girl as Laura Waters. A Yankee girl, who cared for herself since fourteen, who kept school, and earned a flock of sheep, a sale of which purchased the beginning of the young lawyer's library,— " orthodox law sheep." Pretty, piquant, witty, devoted, full of resources, the happy mother of several children, whose care mainly devolved on her in the absence of the lawyer and congressman. What a delicious picture of family home life, sketched by the hand of the youngest of that favored band,* lies under my eye, tempting me to linger and transcribe I What neighbors! what friends ! so loved and blessed the parents were. And when the husband passed suddenly away, spite of the love of the surviving children, the wife pined, drooped, and died within a few months. *Mrs. G. W. Julian. With the first collection of the Ohio statutes, known as " the sheepskin code," and such other books as he could command, such clients and eases as came, the young lawyer procured a horse and portmanteau, joined his few professional brethren, and started with the presiding judge on the common pleas circuit through mud and forest, legal lance in rest, stopping at log taverns, and settling grave cases in log temples of justice. Those were the days of free manners, free lives, and practical jokes ; though the Grand River presbytery expressed their disapprobation of gathering sap on Sunday. The commanding figure,—six feet two in moccasins,—massive head, laughing gray eyes, and frank manners of the young lawyer, with a reputation of great physical strength, agility, and courage, made him a favorite with the primitive people, who flocked from all parts of the country and crowded the court-rooms to hear and see the lawyers, and to treasure up and repeat their sayings, and tell absurd stories of them to their lees fortunate neighbors at home. Those were not the days of long trials nor of great speeches. Court began at eight sad. and sat till ten P.M. The young lawyer soon became noted for the thoroughness with which he studied his case itself, the tact with which he brought out his evidence, and shrewdness in dealing with the witnesses on the other side. Bland and wary, an inflexible will, a passionate earnestness, lay, seemingly passive, under a suavity of manner not easily disturbed. With his industry, application, and power of physical and mental endurance, he rapidly grew —for good lawyers grow rather than are made—to be an accomplished lawyer of his day, and his name was mentioned at points out of his circuit with admiration and respect. His strength was in the care and thoroughness of his preparation, his tact and skill in conducting the trial of his case so that the final argument was really a summing up, a condensed statement, of the points already brought out, in a forcible and happy arrangement. His knowledge of the law in the range of the eases of his time was thorough, his method of presentation to the court clear and logical. He had some difficulties to overcome in his addresses to juries, but became a persuasive, ingenious advocate, knowing exactly the quality and calibre of his men and the reasons and motives that would control them. At times, under the pressure of important interests, in the stir and heat of powerful emotions, he exhibited some of the best qualities of the advocate. He early secured and retained the respect and confidence of the judges before whom he appeared, and came to be intrusted with a large number of cases, some of which had a Iong-oont ued celebrity. There was the famous malpractice case of Williams vs. Hawley. A poor woman, thrown from a horse, broke the bones of her leg just above the ankle. Dr. Hawley, the leading physician of that region, in reducing it, removed a section of the smaller bone. Giddings, quite young then, brought the suit. All the doctors were against him. He won a verdict. The defendant appealed to the supreme court, where he had a second trial. This resulted as before. The court set aside the verdict, and changed the venue to Trumbull county. The case was prepared anew. The famous surgeons of New York and Philadelphia gave depositions. The plaintiff's counsel spent months and hundreds of dollars of his own money. The celebrated John C. Wright was secured from Cincinnati for the defense. The case was tried for the third time, with a third verdict—heavy, for that day—for the plaintiff, none of which, as was said, went to compensate or reimburse her counsel. This case made his name known throughout the State. ' Then there was the case of Ohio vs. Barns, for murder, tried in Geauga county. A beautiful girl, a young thing only fifteen, was met in the Kirtland woods, outraged, and murdered,—one of those tragic things that cling to the hearts of folk, and live forever in legend. Barns was a peddler, and his wagon was seen standing in the vicinage at the time when it must have occurred. Mr. Giddings conducted the defense. The able prosecutor was aided by Sherlock J. Andrews, one of the best advocates of the west. Barns was acquitted through the remarkable efforts of his leading counsel. This must have been in 1831, and the survivors still believe Barns was guilty. This mystery, like that of the Sarah Cornell case, was never cleared, but facts came to light long after tending to show that Barns was innocent,—a confession by a convict in the penitentiary. There is a story that Giddings' first thought of the law was to recover the farm lost by his father at the centre of Wayne, where the first cabin was built. However this was, he certainly brought a suit on the ground of adverse possession mainly, which he maintained for years, but ultimately failed in. Such was the consideration in which Mr. Giddings was held that, at the end of ten years after he came to the bar, few cases of importance within the region of his practice arose in which he was not engaged. In 1831 he formed a partnership with Benj. F. Wade, then a rapidly rising man. The firm soon commanded one side of every case in their immediate neighborhood, and both were often called away to the trial of important cases at points remote. This was at the subsidence of traveling the circuit. Most of the counties had a resident bar of able lawyers, and the business of Giddings and Wade was confined to Ashtabula, Trumbull, and Geauga. In 1826 Mr. Giddings was elected to the house of representatives of the Ohio
