The Civil War Draft of 1863

Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania

This is excerpted from a book on Schuylkill County in the Civil War, printed in the year 1865.

In July, 1863, President Lincoln issued a proclamation ordering a draft for five hundred thousand men to fill up the armies of the Union. The draft for the Tenth District, composed of Schuylkill and Lebanon counties, commenced in Pottsville on Wednesday, Sep. 23, 1863. The drawing was done by a blind man named William DOUBERT, of Schuylkill Haven, Schuylkill County. The drafting-box was on a table on a platform, placed in full view of spectators, adjoining the Provost Marshal's office. The committee of citizens invited to be present, were Samuel HUNTZINGER, William F. MORTIMER, Robert F. WEAVER, Hon. Strange L. PALMER, Hon. Solomon FOSTER, J. Franklin HARRIS, Oliver IBERSON, Daniel H. LEIB, and Jacob KOHLER.

The draft was made in the following manner: The Deputy Marshall, John M. MARK, of Lebanon County, turned the wheel and the blind man drew the names out. The latter passed them over to the Commissioner, John H. KINPORTZ, of Lebanon who read the names, the clerk at the same time entering them in a book. The drawing took place in the order of sub-districts laid down and the number of names drawn for Schuylkill County was 3,334.

Immediately upon the return of the three months' volunteers, Col. James NAGLE, Col. Henry L. CAKE, Col Benjamin C. CHRIST and Col. George C. WYNKOOP, of Schuylkill County, received authority to raise regiments "for three years, of the war." Recruiting became active, and during the months of August, September and October, 1861, the drum and fife of recruiting officers were seldom idle in our streets, while their rendezvous were almost as numerous as our stores. In addition to the volunteer officers, several officers of the regular army were here, and did quite a brisk business. We hazard nothing in saying that in the space of three months, over three thousand men were recruited in this County.

Col. NAGLE's Regiment, the Forty-Eighth, P.V., was encamped at Harrisburg, while being organized, and was composed entirely of Schuylkill County companies.

Col. CAKE's Regiment, the Ninety-Sixth, P.V., also composed of Schuylkill County companies, was encamped at Pottsville, until November.

Col. CHRIST and Col. WYNKOOP encamped their Regiments, the Fiftieth, P.V. and Seventh Pennsylvania Cavalry, at Harrisburg. These Regiments were only partially made up of companies from this County.

Single companies and individuals from the County, were scattered through other Regiments of the State.

On Monday, September 2nd, 1861, the Citizens' Cornet Band, numbering twenty-five members, left Pottsville for Harrisburg, to join Col. NAGLE's Regiment.
