barricade. A car loaded with sand attempted to pass, but was seized by the rioters, who backed it up to the barricade, and emptied the sand on the pile of stones and anchors. A large number of negroes were working on the wharves at the time. These were ordered to quit work, which they did with alacrity, and were directed by the rioters to assist them on the barricade. They complied and, as Colonel J. Thomas Scharf, in his Chronicles of Baltimore relates, worked away with a will for Massa Jeff Davis and de Souf. At this stage of the proceedings Mayor Brown, who had hurried from Camden Station, arrived on the scene. What followed is best given in Mayor Brown's own words: On arriving at the head of Smith's wharf, he says in his official report, I found that anchors had been piled on the track to obstruct it, and Sergeant McComas and a few policemen, who were with him, were not allowed by the mob to remove the obstructions. I at once ordered the anchors to be removed, and m

Squib, picture and poem filled Randolph's letters, as brilliant flashes did his conversation.

Rebellion Record: a Diary of American Events: Poetry and Incidents., Volume 7. (ed. Frank Moore), The Propositions for an Armistice. (search)
Tuesday evening last, I said that propositions for an armistice or peace had been submitted to the President on the twelfth December last, which, had they been accepted, would have terminated this war by the first of April, upon a basis satisfactory to the people North and South. In referring to this statement, you ask: Who made these propositions for an armistice or peace, the adoption of which Mr. Wood pretends to believe would have settled the matter by All-Fools' day? Were they made by Davis and his fellow-rebels? If so, how does Mr. Wood know any thing about them? Has he been in secret correspondence with the enemy? Or were they made by some of the anti-war men here? If so, who authorized them? And what are the terms of the propositions from which Mr. Wood hopes so much? If they are honorable to the nation; if they are such as patriotic Americans ought to favor, why not make them public at once? To which I say in reply, that the statement referred to was made by me delib

Some think that abandoning Lee, The Cotton State Legions of Lee, Care little for Richmond — that Davis & Co. Have packed up their traps and are ready to go To some safer refuge down South--that, in fine, In Georgia they next will establish their shrine, And leave old Virginia to Lee. But it is our impression that Lee, And this wonderful army of Lesfortunes out West, As he thinks, by this triumph of Lee. But this Northern invasion of Lee, With the loss of this army of Lee, To Richmond so strongly invites us that way, That we are expecting the tidings some day That Dix has gone in, and that Davis has saddled His steed, and has over the river skedaddled To hunt up the army of Lee. And we think in these movements of Lee, With this hide and seek army of Lee, The occasion has come when his game may be foiled, And we hope that his schemes wil<

King Cotton goes off with two fleas in his ear, He goes to those sons of----their mothers, The copperhead reptiles, who bother us here, Vallandigham, Wood, and the others; “Once more, my brave fellows, be true to your kind, And stay the war-storm that comes hot on! Bewilder our foe with your fire from behind, And go it for Davis and slavery blind! Come give us a lift,” says King Cotton, King Cotton, “Come give us a lift,” says King Cotton. The copperheads said: “To our kind we are true, We lie and we hiss as we used to, But the people have found they can do without you, And sad are the straits we're reduced to.

sible interest in this revolution. . . . Why not hang every Dutchman captured? We will hereafter hang, or shoot, or imprison for life all white men taken in command of negroes, and enslave the negroes themselves. This is not too harsh. No human being will assert the contrary. Why, then, should we not hang a Dutchman, who deserves infinitely less of our sympathy than Sambo? The live masses of beer, krout, tobacco, and rotten cheese, which, on two legs and four, on foot and mounted, go prowling through the South, should be used to manure the sandy plains and barren hill-sides of Alabama, Tennessee, and Georgia. . . . Whenever a Dutch regiment adorns the limbs of a Southern forest, daring cavalry raids into the South shall cease. . . . President Davis need not be specially consulted, and if an accident of this sort should occur to a plundering band like that captured by Forrest, we are not inclined to believe that our President would be greatly disgruntled.--Knexville Register.

I take command of you as a soldier, who will not fear to lead where any brave man can follow — I am no street soavrnger--no General Lovell. (Cheers.) If any soldier in this command is aggrieved, or shall feel himself aggrieved by any act of his superior officer, he must have no hesitation in applying to me personally for redress. The doors of my headquarters shall never be closed against the poorest and humblest soldier in my command. Come to me, if you suffer wrong, as fear
