He remained there four years, engaged actively in politics, and was a member of the Territorial Legislature. In 1859 he returned to New York and engaged as bookkeeper and business manager of the New York Dispatch.

Mr. Abbe was an old fireman, having entered the Volunteer Department when a young man as a member of Hose Company No. 20. For nine years he acted with ability as member, officer. Secretary of the Board of Engineers and foreman. Mr. Abbe was a soldier in the Civil War, a volunteer in Company G, 71st Regiment, New York, and was badly wounded at the battle of Bull Run.
