THE BLUFFTON NEWS. BLUFFTON. OHIO
(Released by Western Newspaper Union.)
Ellsworth and His Zcuaves
THE
name of Ephraim Elmer
Ellsworth is almost forgotten
now but 80 years ago it was on the
lips of millions of Americans. As
the youthful colonel of one of the
most picturesque bodies of soldiery
the United States has ever known,
he was something of a military idol
and a national hero. So when he
was shot down by a Confederate
sympathizer in Alexandria, Va., on
May 24, 1861, ho not only became
the first officer of his rank to lose
his life in defense of the Union, but
his death did much to inflame the
North against the South in the early
days of the Civil war.
Ellsworth was born on April 23,
1837, the son of a poor tailor in the
village of Malta, N. Y. Even in
his youth he showed a fondness for
military life and while he was still
a school boy in Mechanicsville, he
organized and commanded a com
pany which bore the high-sounding
name of “The Black Plumed Rifle
men of Stillwater.” He tried to ob
tain an appointment to West Point
but failed through lack of political
influence. So he started west to seek
his fortune.
Eventually he landed in Chicago,
where he was chosen captain of a
national guard company. He outfit
ted them in zouave uniforms, re
named them the Chicago Zouave
Cadets and soon made them one of
A
the best drilled military units in the
country. After a*, exhibition tour of
the East in 18* ?. he returned to
Illinois.
In Springfield he became a stu
dent in the law’ office of Abraham
Lincoln who had recently been nom
inated for President by the Repub
lican party. Since political cam
paigning seemed more exciting than
studying, young Ellsworth plunged
i into it with the greatest enthusiasm
and so won the esteem of Lincoln
that he was invited to accompany
the President-elect to Washington.
Lincoln, when he became Presi
dent, planned to make his young
law student and ex-zouave the head
of the nation’s militia system. But
this was blocked by the “profes
sional” soldiers in the war depart
ment and Ellsworth had to content
himself with a commission as sec
ond lieutenant.
Then Fort Sumter was fired upon
and Lincoln called for 75,000 volun
teers to defend the Union. Ells
W’orth immediately resigned his
commission and hurried to New
York city to organize the men of the
New York fire department as a vol
unteer regiment. In less than two
weeks he was back in Washington as
colonel of the Eleventh New York
infantry, known as the “Fire Zou
aves,” fully equipped, drilled and
ready to take the field.
On May 24 the “Fire Zouaves”
were a part of a force ordered to
cross the Potomac and occupy parts
of Virginia. Ellsworth’s regiment
was sent to
commander
flying over a hotel, the Marshall
house. He
rushed up to the roof and tore the
flag down. As he was returning, he
was met in the hallway by J. W.
Jackson, the proprietor, who fired
a bullet through the young colonel’s
heart.
Alexandria where their
saw a Confederate flag
dashed into the hotel,
President Lincoln ordered that
Ellsworth’s body be taken to the
White House where it lay in state
in the historic East Room. Later it
was escorted down Pennsylvania
avenue by a detachment of cavalry,
followed by carriages in which rode
the President and members of his
cabinet to the railroad station. There
it was placed in a special train
which bore the young commander
to his burial place in Mechanics
ville, N. Y.
Two days later President Lincoln
wrote a long letter of condolence to
Ellsworth’s father and mother. It
is even more noteworthy than the
famous letter to Mrs. Bixby which,
it has recently been revealed, was
not written by Lincoln at all, but
by his secretary, John Hay. In it,
instead of writing about a soldier
whom he had never seen, Lincoln
was paying tribute to a man whom
he had known personally as a law
clerk in his office in Springfield and
his companion on the fateful jour
ney to Washington, and whom he
had grown to love.
Through April 10, 1943, the Com
modity Credit Corporation had made
16,047 loans on 3,854,141 bushels of
Ohio 1942 wheat.
Delayed harvest results in poor
quality hay, which is low in protein,
high in fiber, and lacking in pala
tability. The delay also reduces
second growth and causes lower seed
yields in medium red clover.
