I.1KUT. ltKKS AH A SOMllKIU
As stated ubove Lieut, lloes was a member
et the Jacksen ltllles as long age as 1831,
wheu he was only 18 years old. The com
pany at that tlme and ler many years ultor ulter
wards was commanded by Capt. llambrlght,
and wuh Justly regarded us ene of the best
equipped, best drilled and meat rlllclent
veluuteer companies In the state. When the
native American riots breke out in Philadel
phia lu May mi, the Jacksen Hilles were
called out and did geed sorvlce In suppress
ing the Insurrection ; and when Ihu riots
were rouewod In the July following, the
Utiles again responded te the call of the gov
ernor and went te l'hlladelphlaata moment's

When the Mexican war breke out In isitt,
the Jacksen ltllles were among the earllest
te eiler their servlces te the government; but
tbere were he many mero volunteers ellerlng
than could possibly be accented that their
services wero declined. Tills was a sero
blew te the ltllles ; they felt that they had
net been lalrly treated ; that less deserving
companies than their own had been accepted
and finally tlie company disbanded.

In the summer ei 1858 the Kllles were re

times, but alvvas at night. The Joreus w he
