Hamburg early became a rendezvous for privateers and blockade-runners, where they received their outfit and supphes, and the necessary espionage of these vessels, their lawless owners and officers demanded sleepless vigilance.

Winfield Scott Rochelle was reared in his parents' home until his sixteenth year, when he ran away in order to enlist in the service of his country. He made his w^ay to Columbus, and on the 28th of March, 1864, joined Company C, of the Forty-sixth Ohio Volunteer Infantry, which was assigned to the Fifteenth Army Corps, commanded by General John A. Logan. With the exception of a few weeks in the hospital in Resaca and Marietta, Georgia, he was continuously with his command until the close of the war, and his loyalty and bravery were equal to that of many a veteran of twice his years. He was mustered out at Louisville, Kentucky, on the 27th of July, 1865, after having participated in the following engagements : Resaca, Dallas, Allatoona, New Hope Church, Congaree Creek, Atlanta, Griswoldville, Savannah, Cl'-irleston and Columbia.
