STATEN ISLAND DURING THE REBELLION.


Being so near to the great Metropolis, it was natural that Staten Island should have keenly felt the public pulsation of the first hours of the war. We vividly recall those exciting scenes in April, 1861, when all places of public resort overflowed with eager, inquiring multitudes; when startling bulletins met the eye at every turn, and the telegraph flashed the detail to every hamlet, until at last every vestige of doubt was removed, the last feeling of hope thrust aside, and the nation awoke from its long dream of peace to the terrible realities of intestine war.

One of the first acts of hostility in which Staten Island was directly concerned, was the seizure of the schooner "S. W. LUTRELL," of this place, at Norfolk, Virginia, for violation of the inspection laws of that State, for preventing the escape of fugitive slaves.

A large Union meeting was held at Tottenville on Saturday, the 26th of January. A banner was raised, bearing upon it the motto, "THE CONSTITUTION AND THE UNION," and the most enthusiastic expressions of devotion to country were given. Cannons were fired in honor of the Union, of General SCOTT and of Major ANDERSON.

Preparations were made to meet the expected call for troops in April. Staten Island began thus early to assume a martial air. Uniformed men were common on our streets, and from every hamlet recruits were rallying in response to the call. On the 20th of the month, a number of Staten Islanders who had enlisted in the Seventy-first regiment, had gone South. A number enlisted in the Sixty-ninth, Seventy-third and other regiments then organizing. It is generally believed that the first volunteer from Staten Island was "Jerry" REARDON, who, notwithstanding his advanced age, is still in the service of the Rapid Transit Ferry Company, in the capacity of policeman.

Throughout the month of April the work of organizing the Seventy-third Regiment was carried out on the Island. It was commanded by Colonel Minthorne TOMPKINS. An independent company was organized at Stapleton, known as the Middletown Guard, which was commanded by Captain STAHL.

A mass meeting was held on the old Quarantine grounds at Tompkinsville, on Saturday, April 27, to take prompt action in raising volunteers. Addresses were delivered by Lot C. CLARK and Henry J. RAYMOND.

WILSON'S Zouaves and other organizations were encamped on the Quarantine grounds at Tompkinsville at the time. "They were marched out and drawn up in line at this meeting," said a former writer, "and much of the speaking was addressed to them."

Staten Island soon became a rendezvous for imperfect regiments, which remained here until their quotas were filled and they were ready to be mustered into the Federal service. The novelty caused at first by this state of affairs had now worn away, and everybody was looking the stern realities of war squarely in the face.

The subscriptions, in the Town of Castleton alone, up to the end of November 1861, for the families of soldiers at the front, amounted to $3,250. The number of men who had enlisted from the town was one hundred and twenty-eight. Sixty-four families were cared for.

The County Court House, at Richmond, was the scene of a memorable event on the 13th day of November. Citizens assembled to arrange for their neighbors who were on the tented field. A committee was appointed to obtain blankets, mittens, stockings and various other useful articles.

A meeting was held in DEMPSY'S Hall, Factoryville, on September 2, with a view to organizing a company, at which fifty young men signed the roll. Forty-two recruits belonging to Colonel TOMPKINS' regiment left Port Richmond on the 23d of the month, to join the command at Poolsville, Maryland. The following is the list:

Peter PERO, Lewis D. JOHNSON, John E. JOHNSON, Joseph B. JOHNSON, John J. SIMONSON, James H. MUNSON, Daniel MALLETT, Eugene DALY, Henry D. SPONG, Alexander FITZSIMONS, Edward M. SHARROTT, Jeremiah LEARY, Charles STEERS, Thomas J. CUSHING, George F. BURBANK, James H. SIMONSON, Jacob T. SELZER, Cornelius DEGRAFF, William D. MASKELL, Charles H. KING, William ECCLES, Joseph K. PLANT, Henry SHARP, Joseph B. BARNES, Joseph L. THOMPSON, James POST, Isaac LOCKMAN, James B. BURBANK, Simon V. N. DECKER, C. P. B. SLAIGHT Jr., Henry MERSEREAU, Cornelius MARTINEAU, Jacob LOCKMAN, Albert MASON, Mathius B. STEWART, James B. HALLIDAY, Albion NOBLE, John REYNOLDS, Abraham TURNER, Francis M. TARSNEY, William H. FULLAGAR, Arther HAUGHIAN, George CONNER, Thomas CONNER, Joseph SIMONSON, Henry T. PAULSON, Henry DECKER, Manuel WARRENDER, John W. TYNAN, James SIMONSON, Thomas FLANNELLY, Frigero GASSQ, and John R. GREEN.

The Governor issued an order relative to raising another quota of men and the Supervisors met in July to take action. The recruiting sections were made up of Senatorial districts. The following members of the committee were appointed for Richmond County: Colonel Nathan BARRETT, Captain Richard CHRISTOPHER, William H. VANDERBILT, John BECHTEL, William CORRY, Henry N. NORRIS and Edward BANKER.

During July, a number of Staten Islanders enlisted in the Seventy-ninth Regiment, familiarly known as the "Highlanders." A mass meeting was held at Port Richmond on August 11. Seven hundred and eighty-four men were required of Staten Island. An eloquent address was delivered by the Hon. Erastus BROOKS, after which a bounty of fifty dollars each was offered to volunteers. Enlistment's and subscriptions flowed in. Other meetings were held throughout the Island.

 Mass meetings were also held in the various towns in August for the purpose of encouraging enlistment and raising subscriptions to pay a bounty of fifty dollars to volunteers and to furnish aid for their families. There was one at Elm Park on the 16th, at which two thousand persons were present. The Supervisors were called upon to raise by taxation ten thousand dollars.

In New Brighton a similar meeting was held on the 18th, at which over three thousand dollars was subscribed. Another meeting of the people of Castleton was held on the 21st, at Factoryville.

The relief fund had already dispensed above five thousand dollars, and at this time had more than one hundred families dependent upon it. The citizens of Middletown held a meeting on the 20th, at which the Supervisors were called upon to appropriate twenty-thousand dollars.

The people of Westfield adopted a resolution to raise a company of seventy-five men. The Supervisors met on the 27th, and decided to issue bonds to the amount of twenty-thousand dollars, the proceeds of which should be used for the payment of extra bounties and relief for the families of volunteers.

A new company, mostly from Castleton, was formed with Louis SCHAFFNER as captain; Orville D. JEWETT, first lieutenant and Clarence T. BARRETT, second lieutenant. Recruiting stations were established at DEMPSEY'S Hotel, Factoryville, and at John JEWETT & Sons' white lead works in Port Richmond. An extra bounty of fifty dollars each was paid to volunteers. The company's barracks were erected at the corner of Broadway and Church street, in Port Richmond.

On August 30, a county mass meeting was held at Clifton park. Addresses were delivered by Judge Henry B. METCALFE, who presided, George William CURTIS, General BUSTEED, Hon. Erastus BROOKS, and others.

The war committee of this senatorial district met at Jamaica, on Thursday the 4th of September 1862, to aid in the organization of a regiment of volunteers, and to equalize the quotas of the several counties of the district and apportion any deficiencies in the counties among the town that compassed them. In this committee Richmond County was represented by Hon. SMITH ELY, William CORRY, Nathan BARRETT, William H. VANDERBILT, and Henry Lee NORRIS. It was resolved to recognize Colonel TOMPKINS' regiment. Recruiting stations were established in various parts of the Island.

SPINOLA's Brigade was being organized at East New York, and in September, a number of Staten Islanders enlisted in it. By the middle of the month fears of the draft subsided, as the quotas were nearly full.

The material of the Island had become greatly exhausted by the latter part of October, and Colonel TOMPKINS' regiment filled up very slowly. It was then that Inspector - General VAN VECHTEN gave the order for three of its companies to be transferred to the One Hundred and Fifty-sixth Regiment, from Ulster County, then encamped in New York. Accordingly, on the 13th and 14th of November, the companies commanded by Captains SCHAFFNER, SHELTON and VAUGHN were transferred.

This gave rise to great dissatisfaction, and much excitement prevailed, amounting almost to a riot. In the midst of the tumult one man was stabbed in the back with a bayonet. The remaining Island company of Colonel TOMPKINS' regiment became disordered and took to the woods and hills, leaving the camp at Factoryville almost deserted, being occupied by only about forty officers and men. While in this condition, on Monday morning the 17th the barracks took fire and were nearly destroyed. The Richmond County regiment, containing six hundred and fifty men, was broken up. The remaining companies were transferred to the One Hundred and Fifty-seventh. Of these, two companies, under command of Captains Mark COX and Colonel TOMPKINS was offered a position as lieutenant-colonel in the One Hundred and Fifty-eight, but declined.

The prospect of a draft again began to agitate the people. Finally the day was appointed for the drawing to take place, and Judge Henry B. METCALFE was appointed commissioner for superintending it, and Mr. William G. EADIE, or Port Richmond, examining surgeon. These officials sat daily at the Surrogate's office, in Richmond, from October 22 until the day before the draft was to take place, to hear any claims of persons liable to military duty for exemption. Especial efforts prevented the necessity of a draft. The following report was shown at the meeting of the Senatorial district committee, held at Jamaica, on the 6th of November.

HOYT, of Castleton; First Lieutenant Magnus BOUSCHER, and Second Lieutenant Edward OPENSHAW, of New Brighton. The two former served through the war, but the latter resigned in June, 1864. First Sergeant Charles WEBSTER, of Middletown, was promoted to captain and remained, being later a captain in the regular army. William SEATON, sergeant, of Castleton, was promoted to rank of captain. John J. FARRELL, of Castleton, sergeant, returned from the confederate prison at the close of the war, having been captured at Cedar Creek. John PETERSON, private, became first sergeant; Isaac FULLAGER, corporal, and Evan RILEY, of Castleton, served through the war; Michael COTTER, of Castleton, was discharged; William GILL, of Castleton, and Cornelius SULLIVAN, drummer, served through the war.

The supervisors authorized an additional loan of twenty-thousand dollars, in January 1863, for the payment of bounties and relief. One hundred and twenty-two recruits had enlisted. Eighty-eight recruits in Northfield and received fifty dollars each, and ten dollars each was paid for recruiting them. Westfield spent five thousand one hundred and forty dollars for the same purpose.

Richmond County's quota in the call of 1863 was for four hundred men. Those appointed to make the enrollment under the conscription act of that year were: For Castleton, Edward Jones; Middletown, John J. CLUTE; Northfield, Simon HAUGHWOUT, and Southfield, John JACOBSON.

A writer of the time said: "The celebrated draft riots of July, 1863, filled the Island with horrors. The public mind was in a state of high fermentation. Riot was in the air, and it would seem that men hardly knew what they did. For two years the public mind here had been almost constantly wrought up to fever heat, and now the prospect of a draft being made to fill the quota of four hundred men in this county, under the recent call, but few of whom were already enlisted, made a strain upon the public nerve which it was in a poor condition to bear with tranquility. For a moment the steady arm of patriotism seemed to falter, weakened as it had been by the drain upon it, caused by the withdrawal of hundreds from the community to the field of war.

"Sober counsels wavered, and the influence of men of means was weak, because of the obnoxious clause in the conscription act, which promised exemption to all drafter men who should pay three hundred dollars. In this weak moment the baser elements of society gathered strength, and disorder attempted to block the wheels of organized government."

In this critical moment the innocent colored population were among the first to receive the demoniacal thrusts of unchained hatred, and from day to day there were serious depredations committed on both the North and East shores.

A mass meeting was held at Clifton on Wednesday, July 15, 1863, and was in charge of Messrs. William SHAW, Dwight TOWNSEND and Mr. FELLOWS. It was largely attended by laboring men from the fortifications. The public mind was greatly excited. The Rev. Father LEWIS of St. Mary's Roman Catholic church, addressed the meeting with conciliatory language, earnestly pleading with his audience to respect the law, while he assured them that no unjust demands would be made. Dwight TOWNSEND, Robert CHRISTIE, Jr., and Mr. HULL also made addresses, after which resolutions were adopted, calling upon the Governor to, without delay, have the constitutionality of this Conscription Act tested before our State Courts.

Handbills were immediately issued by the officials of the town of Southfield, announcing that "the draft had been stopped," and this timely and thoughtful action probably averted another riot.

A serious affray occurred at Vanderbilt landing on the 20th. In the early evening, two or three soldiers were in a saloon, when one of them fired his musket at a boy. This encouraged some others who were present to such an extent, that they set upon the soldiers and beat them so badly as to leave them for dead. A train of cars came up just then, having on board a company of soldiers, who came out and commenced firing upon the crowd. They no doubt took the crowd to be a mob gathering and determined to scatter it. In doing so, their shot took effect in the body of Charles MURPHY, with such force that he died shortly after. After ten men were arrested by the soldiers and taken to camp. One or both of the soldiers who began the disturbance, died within a few days.

The Courts were subsequently kept busy settling the various suits for damages sustained by the rioters. Total amount of damages awarded, $17,207.99. Added to this was an outlay of about ten thousand dollars incurred in contesting these claims.

The Supervisors authorized the County Treasurer to raise fifty-thousand dollars, by the issue of county bonds, "to be appropriated as might be necessary in providing for those who might be drafted and were not able to pay the exemption fee of three hundred dollars, under the Conscription Act which it was expected, would be enforced in the First Senatorial district."

On the 30th of August the draft took place at Jamaica. Richmond County's enrollment numbered 2,205 and was distributed among the towns thus: Castleton, 559; Southfield, 463; Northfield, 444; Westfield, 438; Middletown, 301. From this number five hundred and ninety-four were to be drawn, which included fifty per cent, to make up for deficiency which might result from exemption.

This draft, so far as gaining men for the service was concerned, amounted to very little. A majority took advantage of the three hundred dollar clause. The five hundred and ninety-four men, called for in the quota, were accounted for as follows: Seventy-four were aliens; ten furnished substitutes; ninety-four were exempt for physical disability; one hundred and three were exempt for other causes; one hundred and sixty-two commuted, and one hundred and fifty failed to report.

President LINCOLN issue another call for troops in October 1863, which was to be filled by January 5, 1864. The quota for Richmond County was as follows: Castleton, seventy-seven; Southfield, sixty-five; Northfield, sixty-two; Westfield, sixty-two; Middletown, forty-two. The Supervisors called a mass meeting at the County Court House on December 19, "to give popular expression to the means to be adopted to meet the call." Resolutions were adopted, appealing to the Supervisors to "raise on hundred and twenty-thousand dollars, or as much of that sum as might be necessary, and to pay each volunteer, drafted man or substitute, counting in the quota, four hundred dollars, and to open a recruiting office in each town and to appoint suitable persons to attend to the same." The quota was filled early in March.

In March, 1864, came another call for troops. The Supervisors met on the 18th, and decided to "contract with some responsible party to fill the quota of one hundred men which belonged to this county to furnish." The Board published, on the following day, an advertisement, inviting parties wishing to contract for filling the quota, to present themselves with their sureties at the meeting appointed for the 22d instant. The authorities ordered a draft on April 15, unless the quota was filled by that time. The Supervisors had already offered a bounty of three hundred and fifty dollars each for recruits--"two hundred dollars of which was to be paid to the recruit and one hundred and fifty dollars to the party who should procure him." The month of April witnessed the completion of this task. In May, a new enrollment of persons liable to do military duty was ordered, and the work was commenced on the first of June. The President called for five hundred thousand men in July. Another mass meeting was held in Clifton Park on the 26th, when resolutions were adopted "placing the entire business of raising money and filling the quota in the hands of the Supervisors, and calling upon them to exercise those duties."

The committee, which had been appointed to solicit subscriptions to a loan, reported to the Supervisors on August 8, that they had secured seventy-five thousand dollars. The quota for the county, under this call, was: Middletown, 128; Southfield, 70; Westfield, 77; Castleton, 154; Northfield, 119; total 543. On the 22d of August, the Supervisors established a recruiting office at Nautilus Hall, Tompkinsville, and offered "$200 for each recruit, and $200 additional to the agent or broker procuring him, or $400 to every man liable to draft who should secure a substitute to be credited to the county. For $600 deposited with the Supervisors, by any citizen liable to draft, before September 5, they would undertake to procure a substitute for him, such substitutes to be supplied in the order in which applications and deposits were made."

One great drawback was that the prices mentioned were insufficient to procure the needed recruits, and so an advance was made until seven hundred dollars a man was paid. Later in September the quota was still one hundred and eighty short, and there was no ready money in the county treasury to meet the emergency. In this extremity the Supervisors exchanged county bonds for recruits, and the quota was filled, though a form of drafting was commenced on the 3d of October.

A memorable scene was witnessed at the County Court House on January 6, 1865, when a mass meeting was called "to provide for raising the quota under the call of December 19." The people had assembled so often under like circumstances, that the strain had become almost unbearable.

The Supervisors, however, were instructed to fill the quota, and raise the money necessary to the credit of the county, also to raise two hundred men. A draft finally took place on February 25, at which four hundred and forty-six names were drawn. The Supervisors had previously offered bounties of three hundred dollars for one year's men, four hundred dollars for two years' men, six hundred dollars for three years' men, and one hundred additional "hand money" to the person presenting the recruit.

The war was a costly incident to Staten Island. The various sums authorized to be raised on bonds of the county for the purposes of the war were as follows:

August 22, 1862, for relief of volunteer families $20,000.00
December 16, 1862 for relief of volunteer families $20,000.00
August 25, 1863 for relief of drafted men families $50,000.00
September 9, 1863 for relief of drafted men families $25,000.00
December 29, 1863, to obtain volunteers $125,000.00
February 3, 1864 to obtain volunteers $180,000.00
July 28, 1864, bounties for volunteers $250,000.00
January 28, 1865, for filling the quota $75,000.00
February 16, 1865, for filling the quota $75,000.00
February 25, 1865, for filling the quota $75,000.00

Total: $895,000.00

Forty-five regiments of infantry and two of cavalry, besides notable contingents of other organizations were located here during the war. In the Empire Brigade there were two whole companies of Staten Islanders; Sickles' Excelsior Brigade had quite a number; Corcoran's Irish Legion had a good representation; so also with the Eighty-second, the One Hundred and Thirty-third, the One Hundred and Fifty-sixth, the One Hundred and Seventy-fifth, Serrell's Engineers, the Seventy-ninth, the First Mounted Rifles, the Fourth Heavy Artillery, the Fifth, Sixth, Ninth and Fifty-third Zouaves, the Fifth and Sixth Calvary and a score of other organizations. Fully a thousand men volunteered from Staten Island. It is estimated that of this number about one hundred and eighty were killed in battle or died of disease in hospital or prison.

Besides Colonel ELLIOTT and Major HAGADORN, the Seventy-ninth Regiment had in one company the following Staten Islanders; John W. MORSE, Herman C BUECKE, Walter N. BROWN, Theodore HALL, George H. MCCREADY, William WHITE, J. J. THAXTER, A. MIRANDA, Rheinhart SNYDER, Richard WALL, James BANKER, Edward BANKER, John COWHIG, David WILTON, Benjamin WILTON, Daniel BEATTY, William B LUSH, William SIMONSON, Edward BARKER, James BREEN, Edward BRICE, Michael KIRKMAN, Robert KELLY, Patrick CARLIN, Bernard SCANLON, Thomas MCADAMS, George HOWARTH, David HOWARTH, Eugene BURKE, John JOHNSON, James COLGAN, William ROSS, John RACY, John BREEN, David SANDS, Peter TUSHINGHAM, William SMITH, J. SMITH, Richard BARRETT, Charles WILHELM, Charles PIRATYKI and Philip DALY.

Among these were remnants of Colonel Tompkins� regiment, the Horatio Seymour Light Infantry, the Defenders, Davis� Cavalry, the Blair Rifles, the Burnside Rifles, the Pratt Guard, and the Westchester Light Infantry.

General George B. McClellan attended a review of the troops at Camp Sprague, on September 8, 1863. The post contained about three thousand men at the time. About eight thousand spectators were present. General McClellan having taken his position as reviewing officer, the troops marched before him, the following regiments being in line: Eleventh New York, the Thirty-first Durvea�s Zouaves, Thiryt-fourth, Ninth, Twelfth Cavalry, Coning�s Eighteenth Light Cavalry, Twenty-first Cavalry, (dismounted), Seventeenth, Thirteenth, and a few other organizations. After the column had passed, the General delivered an address.

A riot occurred among the soldiers at Camp Sprague on the night of the 4th of November, 1863, when the barracks were set on fire. Notwithstanding the vigilance displayed, on the following night flames again appeared at about the same hour, and before assistance could reach the scene everything was destroyed. A plot was discovered, a few days later, to also burn the hospital, notwithstanding it contained a number of sick soldiers.
