Jubal Early Recalls His Role in the Burning of Chambersburg – TranscriptLynchburg VA June 1st 1882Dear SirIn reply to your enquiries I have to inform you that the Town of Chambersburg was burned on the same day in which the demand on it was made by McCausland and refused – It was ascertained That a force of the enemy’s cavalry was approaching, and there was no time for delay – Moreover the refusal was peremptory, and there was no reason for delay, unless the demand was a mere idle threat –As to the other enquiry – I had no knowledge of what amount of money there might be in Chambersburg – I knew that it was a town of some Twelve Thousand inhabitants – The Town of Fredrick in Maryland, which was a much smaller town than Chambersburg, had in June very promptly responded to my demand on it for $200.000 – Some of the inhabitants, who were friendly to us, expressed a regret that I had not put my demand at $500,000. There was one or more National Banks at Chambersburg, and the Town ought to have been able to raise the sum I demanded − I soon heard that the refusal was based on inability to pay such a sum, and there was no offer to pay any sum. The value of the houses destroyed & h…[?], with their contents, was fully $100,000 in gold, and at the time I made the demand the price of gold in greenbacks had very nearly reached $3.00, and was going up rapidly. Hence it was that I required the $500,000 in greenbacks, if the gold was not paid. To provide against any further depreciation of the paper money.I would have been fully justified by the laws of retaliation in war, in burning the town, without giving the inhabitants the opportunity of redeeming in.Very Respectfully YoursJ A EarlyEdward W.

Burning of Chambersburg

A letter to the Philadelphia Inquirer dated at Chambersburg on Monday, August 1 says:

The Rebels approach to this place was first heard of about 4 o’clock Saturday morning, when a small force, numbering about sixty five men, under command of Lieutenant H.S. McLain, United States Army, with one piece of artillery, took a position on New England Hill, a short distance above the town, and commenced firing grape and canister into their ranks. This battery kept the enemy in check for two hours while the merchants and business men at once commenced packing up their goods, so that before the arrival of the invaders the most valuable portion of the merchandise had been removed. The little band under Lieutenant McLain harassed the invaders and fought them until they were nearly surrounded.

The battery was withdrawn, and at 6 o’clock the raiders came into town in scattering squads, under that ferocious and unrelenting freebooter, McCausland. Formal possession of the town was taken, and Gen. McCausland made his headquarters in the Franklin house. After this he made a proclamation to the citizens, demanding one hundred thousand dollars in gold, or five hundred thousand dollars in greenbacks.— He threatened to burn the town if the money was not obtained This demand, of course, was not complied with. The Rebel General was evidently aware that the money could not be raised; and he was sure of it affording a pretext to execute the premeditated plan for destroying Chambersburg.

McCausland then allowed his men to scatter in squads over the town, to plunder and ravage the people, and put the torch to whatever buildings they thought proper to burn. Their first move was for the taverns in the town, and here they drank to excess and then visited private residences, and demanded of the occupants certain sums of money, threatening to lay their dwellings in ashes. Some of the citizens saved their residences by complying with their terms: others gave them to understand that they would suffer death rather than give them money. A guard of a half a dozen men had been detailed by the Rebel General to visit the resident of Col. Alexander K McClure, situated about a mile and a half out of town. They did not know the direct locality of Mr. McClure’s residence, and while proceeding on their errand they stopped at the house of Mr. Wm. Eyster, and that gentleman being at home, they inquired of him where the property was located.

Having received a reply, they visited the splendid residence, ordered Mrs. McClure, who was very sick at the time, out of the house, stole everything that was of value, and burned the house. They next proceeded to the barn, which was well filled with wheat, and this structure shared the same fate. They were not aware that Mr. McClure had several other building and barns in the immediate neighborhood, or they would surely have been destroyed. Mrs. McClure, although sick, was obliged to walk nearly eleven miles. The Colonel had left the place before the Rebels entered, and had gone to Harrisburg. His loss will not fall short of £50,000.

The Government Commissary store house, the Court House, three printing offices, one belonging to the German Reformed Church, where the German Reformed Messenger and a German paper were printed; the office of the Franklin Repository, and the office of the Valley Spirit; all hotels, grocery stores, and the principal portion of the town was, a few hours after they commenced their hellish work, one mass of ruins. In all, there have been about two hundred and fifty buildings destroyed. At the time of the fire, a strong breeze was prevailing and the flames spread in every direction.

It was really heart rending to see the women, almost frantic, running to and fro, begging the miserable wretches to cease the work of destruction. Children were running in every direction seeking for their parents, while the women were crying and hunting for their children who could not be found. Families were rushing from their homes, without anything that they could call their own; except the clothing they had upon their backs, to seek security in the desolated fields around the town. The appeals of the old and helpless were heard above the noise of the conflagration, and this only served to elicit the scorn and derision of the freebooters, who came for the infamous purpose of laying this once beautiful town in ruins. – Philadelphia Inquirer, August 1, 1864.whilbr.org 4 October 2003 Web. 10 December 2014.

Halleck – order stating “a crow would have to carry its own provender” on July 14, 1864: OFFICIAL RECORDS: Series 1, vol. 40, Part 3 (Richmond, Petersburg); Chapter LII. CORRESPONDENCE, ETC. – UNION. If the enemy has left Maryland, as I suppose he has, he should have upon his heels veterans, militiamen, men on horseback, and everything that can be got to follow to eat out Virginia clear and clean as far as they go, so that crows flying over it for the balance of this season will have to carry their provender with them. –ebooks.library.cornell.edu 11 May 2000 Web. 10 December 2014.p. 223.

5. On July 14, 1864, Grant wired Army Chief of Staff Henry Halleck in Washington that a force should be assembled in the valley “to eat out Virginia clear and clean … so that crows flying over it for the balance of the season will have to carry their provender with them.” To accomplish that purpose, Grant recommended to the War Department the consolidation of four military departments into a single army, staffing it with 32,000 seasoned troops: the formidable Army of the Shenandoah. Now it needed a capable commander.

As soon as General Averell’s command arrives at Martinsburg, he will proceed to Winchester and attack the enemy at that place if his force is considered sufficient..By order of Major-General Hunter: [CHAS.

7. FREDERICK, July 15, 1864. (Via Monocacy. Received 8 a. in.) Hon. E. M. STANTON, Secretary of War: Captain Martindale, First New York Cavalry, of General Hunters army, here on reconnaissance with sixty men, left Martinsburg Wednesday 11 a. m. General Crook had arrived at Cherry Run with his division. General Hunter was then at Cumberland, marching this way. He was without doubt at Martinsburg Thursday evening. Captain Martindale says the men are wearied and foot sore; the cavalry much exhausted. I think your dispatches will get to General Hunter as soon as 6 o’clock this a.m., if Lieutenant Wyckoff gets along safely. If I can telegraph from Harpers Ferry I will send forward the cipher dispatch, following it myself. No enemy in this part of the State. When Captain Martindale left Martinsburg a force of 1,000 rebel cavalry were guarding a train of wagons, cattle, and plunder of all kinds, then at Winchester. He was too weak to feel or attack them.

8. CAMDEN STATION, Baltimore, July 18, 1864. (Received 8.30 pm.)

Hon. E. M. STANTON: I have just received the following report from our engineer at Harpers Ferry:

“I called to see General Hunter this morning and asked him to send a force upon the line of our road between Harpers Ferry and Opequon, to enable us to relay the track and get road open. He replied: ‘Will send a force in a day or two.’ He also stated that he had burned Andrew Hunters residence at Charlestown, and had given orders to burn Faulkner’s house at Martinsburg, and that it is his intention if he finds guerrillas at Charlestown to burn that town; and as Clarke County only polled two votes against the ordinance of secession, he will burn every house in the county.”

If this course is pursued I apprehend such retaliation will follow as will largely add to the losses and sufferings of our border. . . – John W.

2. Between 300 and 400 dwellings were burned, leaving at least 2, 500 persons without a home or a hearth. In value, three-fourths of the town were destroyed. The scene of desolation must be seen to be appreciated. Crumbling walls, stacks of chimneys and smoking embers, are all that remain of once elegant and happy homes. As to the scene itself, it beggars description. My own residence being on the outskirts, and feeling it the call of duty to be with my family, I could only look on from without. The day was sultry and calm, not a breath stirring:, and each column of smoke rose black, straight and single, first one, and then another, and another, and another, until the columns blended and commingled; and then one vast and lurid column of smoke and flame rose perpendicular to the sky, and spread out into a vast crown, like a cloud of sackcloth hanging over the doomed city; whilst the roar and the surging, the crackling and the crash of falling timbers and walls broke upon the still air with a fearful dissonance, and the screams and sounds of agony of burning animals, hogs and cows and horses, made the welkin horrid with the sounds of woe. It was a scene to be witnessed and heard once in a life-time.”

Slowly the men of Averill rode up the ruined street.And warm were the cobble stones beneath their tir’d horses’ feet;High o’er their heads and banners, upward iu eddying whirls,Above the blacken’d buildings the smothering smoke-cloud curls.‘To their right and left lay ruins, the marks of rebel rage,‘Twas a scene of desolation, a blot on history’s page.Homeless were maid and mother, and houseless were son and sire.No sheltering roof to shield them, surrounded all by fire;And most harmonious music to those so helpless madeWere the sounds of Union trappings, the clatter of the blade.Loudly they greeted the troopers with joyful shout and cheer,But silently sat the soldiers, amid the scene so drear;Warm were the stones beneath their steeds, and warm their welcome, too,And warm with a thirst for vengeance each soldier’s heart then grew.– pp. 386-389

Berkeley County, West Virginia Biography of Mary Boyd FAULKNERMary Boyd FAULKNER was the daughter of General Elisha Boyd, who purchased the location of “Boydville” from General Adam Stephen, the founder of Martinsburg, and moved his family into it in August 1812. At the death of General Boyd in 1844, that property, with a large farm adjoining it, was willed to his daughter, Mary Boyd, who married Charles James Faulkner.There is an interesting story about how, in July 1864, during the Civil War when Charles Faulkner was being held prisoner of State of the United States Government, and both her sons, Charles and Boyd Faulkner, were serving in the Confederate Army, Mary was the sole protector of her home when Union troops came to “Boydville” with orders to “burn Boydville to the ground.” General Hunter, who then commanded the Federal forces in the Valley of Virginia, ordered Captain Martindale of a New York Cavalry Company to proceed to burn the home of his uncle, Andrew Hunter of Charles Town, the home of A.R. Boteler of Shepherdstown, and “Boydville,” the home of Charles James Faulkner. After the burning of the two former places, refusing to allow anything except the personal clothing of the inhabitants to be removed, early in the morning, General Averill, who was then in command of the forces at Martinsburg, notified Mrs. Faulkner that Captain Martindale, with a squad of cavalrymen, was on his way to carry out the orders of General Hunter and that all articles that were absolutely essential to their comfort should be removed from the house. Nothing was done, however, by Mrs. Faulkner in accumulating their articles and about 9 o’clock, after two hours of suspense, Mrs. Pierce, who was on the front porch, noticed a body of cavalrymen riding up the lawn drive from the street. When this body reached the point of 50 yards from the house it was halted and two of the men dismounted, one of them Captain Martindale. When he reached the porch he asked whether she was Mrs. Faulkner and was informed that it was not, but her daughter. He replied, “I want to see Mrs. Faulkner.” The Captain was then shown into the drawing room and when Mrs. Faulkner appeared, Captain Martindale remarked, “This is a fine old place.”

Mrs. Faulkner replied, “Do you want to see me, Sir?” He said, “I have called to inform you, Madam, that I have orders from General Hunter to burn ‘Boydville’ to the ground.” Mrs. Faulkner replied, “Will you let me see your orders?” “No, Madam, my order is a sealed one.” “Perhaps you will, however, let me see it,” Mrs. Faulkner said. The Captain then took the order from his pocket and read: “You are ordered to burn the property of Charles J. Faulkner to the ground and everything in it.” “Give me one hour’s notice,” Mrs. Faulkner replied. “This is not the property of Mr. Faulkner and neither you nor General Hunter will dare to put a torch to this house. It was given to me by my father, General Boyd, who was an officer in the War of 1812.” At this moment, two of Mrs. Faulkner’s nephews, Judge Edmond Pendleton and Dr. E. Boyd Pendleton, walked into the room and had an interview with Captain Martindale. Both of these gentlemen were Union men. When the contents of the order of Captain Martindale became known in the town, great sympathy was expressed by the people of Martinsburg and an indignation meeting was held to protest against the execution of the order. Through the influence of General Averill, the matter was suspended for a short time and with the assistance of Mrs. Faulkner’s nephews and others, a telegram was sent by the kindness of General Averill to Hagerstown, by courier, addressed to General Cullum, Chief of General Halleck’s staff, and an old friend of the family, requesting him to lay the subject before President Lincoln, with the request that the order of General Hunter be countermanded.

Suspense of the family during the intervening between the sending of the message and the reply to it was exceedingly painful. About the hour when, under the orders of Captain Martindale, the torch was to be applied, all were anxiously watching the entrance to the lawn for the return or the courier with a reply which would save the home or lay it in ashes. When the soldiers had commenced their preparations to burn the building, the anxious eyes that were watching the entrance to the lawn saw a man riding rapidly towards the house holding in his hand an envelope. On reaching the pavement that led down to the driveway, he dismounted and came rapidly to the porch and presented Mrs. Faulkner with an envelope addressed to Captain Martindale, which she turned over to him and, when opened, contained the following message from the President: “The property of Charles J. Faulkner is exempt from the order of General David S. Hunter for the burning of the residences of prominent citizens of the Shenandoah Valley in retaliation for the burning of the Governor Bradford’s house in Maryland by the Confederate forces. Signed Abraham Lincoln.”

Captain Martindale raised his cap in salutation and walking down to where he had left his men, gave orders which put them in their saddles and in a moment he and his men were clattering down the avenue to the street.

The carved mantels and doorways of Boydville were brought from England. When the house was first built, the grass plots on each side of the brick pavement in front were surrounded by a high fence of old English brick — later these were taken down and replaced by hedges of boxwood which were killed by the zero weather of the severe winter of 1914. A high brick wall also enclosed the grounds in front of the entrance on the street. The garden walls, 6 feet in height, were standing in 1928, in a perfect condition as originally built in 1812.

Many distinguished guests were entertained at Boydville, among them: Henry Clay, who held in his arms and blessed the owner, former Senator Charles J. Faulkner, when he was just 5 months old; Mr. Bancroft, the historian; two vice presidents of the U.S., Adlai E. Stevenson of Illinois and Charles W. Fairbanks of Indiana; Sir Louis Davies, Sir Wilfred Laurier, and Sir Richard Cartwright, representatives of Great Britain when the Anglo-American Commission, of which Senator Faulkner was a member, met; Hon. John W. Foster, former Secretary of State; Hon Nelson Dingley, Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee of the House of Representatives; and T. DeWitt Talmage.

Mary Boyd Faulkner died in 1894 and was buried beside her husband, Charles James Faulkner, in the private burial grounds adjoining Norborn Cemetery.
