Controversial Union Finance and Local War Notices
A long issue from Fairfield County notes a plan to raise $2000 through local subscriptions to fund soldiers’ bounty due to the Union cause, with committees appointed in each ward. It also details a grand ball planned for February 22 at City Hall, a town meeting on conscription support, and a pledge to publish names of those owing back bounties. Additionally, reports cover a Union County convention backing Lincoln and Johnson, a soldiers’ dinner in Rushcrook township, and various wartime notices and letters about subscribers and debts.
