Troops for The Civil War
Raising the Troops
On February 4th the Legislature authorized the payment of $150 State bounty, which continued to be paid until the 14th of May following. Town ships were empowered at the same time to pay a bounty of $100, which was also paid until recruiting ceased in the State.
The successful operations of the United States armies having brought the war to a close by the utter overthrow of the rebel forces early in the spring of 1865, orders were at once issued to abandon all pending measures for the reinforcement of the National arms, and recruiting, as well as operations under the draft, ceased on the 14th of April.
