THE FENIAN RAIDS Ridgeway on 20d of June. 1866---Kingston Mil J fi Left Here For Corwall oa the 3rd of June Friday June 2nd will mark the Fenians, an Irish society which had planned to seize Canada on St. Pat- rick's day, then attack England and give the Irishmen their independence from British "domination." Volun- teers were called from all over the sparse population of Canada to repel the invasion. The records state that on the Sth of March, 1866, the 14th Battalion wag-called on duty, the signal being three guns fired from the fort, The signal was given about two o'clock in the morning. In a short time the whole battalion was on parade at the drill shed, orders were read to the men, and they were dismissed to par- ade again at 9 a.m., when guards and piquets were told off, and marched to their different sfations. Guards were posted at all the banks and public buildings, and piquets patrolled the streets, especially Ontario street, at all hours, both day and night. Boats were not allowed to land or leave the wharves without orders. However the 17th of March did not bring the threatened inva- sion and although the battalion was dismissed from service on the 31st March, the men voluntarily kept up guard and piquet duty for some time after. The men of companies were allowed to keep their arms and uni- forms at their homes .or lodging places, as the drill shed, just erected, was thought an unsafe place in which to keep arms, 14th Leaves Kingston On Saturday morning, June 2nd, the alarm again sounded, and the! battalion paraded at the drill shed, but as orders from headquarters had not arrived, it was dismissed, to par- ade again at 7 pm. The men were instructed to be ready at a moment's notice. The Storrington Rifle com- panies, under command of Capts. Hugh "pring and Herchimer Hamil- ton, were marched into Kingston, and attached to the 14th for service. At the evening parade, orders were | issued by Lieut.-Col. Paton for the | battalion to parade at the drill shed | the following day at 2 p.m. for the purpose of attending divine service at St. George's church. Shortly af-| ter the service had commenced, an | orderly walked up the aisle to the commandant's pew, and handed him | dinner, after which they were warch- ed to the drill shed and dismissed. Lieut.-Col. Hunter a Veteran Lieut.-Col, George Hunter, who was in the rebellion as a color-ser- goat, hag some very interesting reminiscences to recount. He was sent away to Cornwall along with the Storrington regiment one Sun- day evening In the beginning of June. They were loaded into freight cars and when they arrived in Corn- wall four companies were put in the freight shed to spend the night. Was raining very hard outside and the men were glad to get under shelter. Two companies of the Stor- rington regiment were billeted in the | print shop near the jail and sentries were posted around the jail to guard the Fenian spies who were incarcer- | ated in it, The sanie night the men arrived, an outpost line was drawn up along the river banks and the piquets could see some of the Fen- fans who were at Malone, N.Y., some distance from Cornwall. The other two companies were put in the rail- road: station to sleep for the night. For the first three nights the men were on tenter-hooks waiting for something to happen and for the en- emy to attack After three days patient waiting the Fenians were re- called and their fare was paid back to their homes. Brothers Separated Colonel Hunter told many amusing experiences to the Whig represent- ative who interviewed him. He said that although the rain was dowh in buckets throughout the time that they were on guard they much to cheer them up; In Colonel Hunter's company there were four brothers by name of Jackson who had joined the regiment in Inverary. They wera very much attached to one another and were hopeful that they might not be separated How ever, an order came that the 0.C the company should choose a piquet to guard the locks The eldest of the brothers was chosen and the col- onel says that it was pathetic to. see the parting of the brothers for they feared that they might not again. der came that another piquet be or- ganized and in of the brothers, Nelson, was chosen. There was another fond farewell, which was also pathetic to view. The other two brothers hopefully prayed that they might not be sep- arated, when lo and behold another It] had | meet | Soon afterwards another or-| this piquet another | a large official envelope, which he at| order came that the first piquet was He made a signal to the chaplain, ! other order came and John Nelson, who at once pronounced the benedic- | who lives in Deseronto, was separated once tore open and read the contents. | to be doubled and soon after an-| tion. After the battalion formed up out-| side, the official order from| head-| quarters was read to the men, which was to proceed at once, by Grand Trunk Railway, to Cornwall. Al! though it was Sunday, the men could not supress their feelings and gave a hearty cheer, They were dis- missed with orders to be at the drill shed at four o'clock with great coats rolled and a day's cooked rations in their haversacks. As the clock struck four the whole battalion, with the Storrington Rifles, was on par- ade. The instruments of the band were placed in the store department, and the bandsmen put in the ranks of the companies to which they belong- ed. It was nearly seven o'clock when the battalion left the drill shed, headed by the Royal Canadian Rifles band to Johnson street, where it boarded the train for Cornwall. The citizens were out, enmasse, to see the volunteers away. ' At Cornwall the 14th was brifaded with her majesty's 25th King's Own rderers, 30th and 47th regiments foot. Three companies of the 14th, | » 1, 2, and 3 were told off as a! flying column, and were quartered at the railway station. train of cars were kept ready to move in any dii<ction required.' Happily the war cloud dissolved, and on June 21st the note came for home. The 14th battalion was played to the cars by the pipers' band of the 25th regi- ment. On arrival of the battalion in Kingston it was welcomed home by the mayor and council," then headed by the Royal Canadian Rifles band, marched to the Cy Hall, where the men were entertained by the ladies of the city to a sumptuous ! they An engine and". also. Fond farewells had been the order of the day and night and none | of the brothers expected to see each | It was the fate of war other again, however that they were to be re- united a short time afterwards when were roundly roasted by their fellows for so many farewells. Colonel Hunter tells an amusing ex perience of how he got his wife. After the men had been at Corn- wall fof" some time the ladies of Kingstog, began to make good things for the boys to eat. The colonel's mother sent him a fine big loaf of home-made bread which was very tasty. The colonel held the loaf up before him in the 'room and he sald: "Boys, 1 going to marry the girl that made that loal." 'Colonel Hunter never carried out his word to the very letter, however, but kept very nearly. to his promise. for he mar- ried the lady's daughter, Miss Sarah Edwards.' The colonel also mention- ed another interesting parcel that was sent to him. The parcel con- tained a' Bible, a bottle of whiskey and a package of cards, a rather re markable mixture to send tg a man William McCammon, Veteran William cCammon, the market clerk and tpobor master, was also at Cornwall In 1866. He went away with the 14th P.W.O.R. as a Staff- Sergt. under Capt. James Minnes, Sr. He was in St. George's cathedral-enl) Sunday afternoon June 3rd at church parade when the order came for the men to prepare to go to Cornwall the same night. His experiences were largely the same as Col. Hun- ter's and he gives some extra rem- inisceénces which are very interesting. The first night that they got to ~ AHURSI Cornwall the rain was pouring down and the furrows in the fields were full of water. The men were sent to the station where they were given straw to lie on. This was very un satisfactory as the straw became very wet from the leakages in the roof and the next morning they were a very motley crew of men. They were given army biscuits to eat and without exception they were the hardest morsel that they had put in thelr mouths for a long time. To get a mouthful of the biscuit they had to be broken between two pieces of stone as they were so hard. With all the disagreeable work that had to be done, the soldiers enjoyed the outing, and they spent many happy 'hours recalling old tales and adven- {tures that they had in those stirring days when Canada was emerging from her hour of darkness to take her place as a growing country among the nations of the world, Among those who took part in the trip to Cornwall, and who are still living in the city, are George Watson, { 242 University avenue: William | | Saunders, 101 Chatham street; | George Young, 198 Colborne street {and William Crallen.
