Jefferson Davis, The Rise and Fall of the Confederate Government, Chapter 54: (search)
messenger to General Wilson's presence. We had met at West Point when he was a cadet, and I a commissioner sent by the Congress to inquire into the affairs of the Academy. After some conversation in regard to former times and our common acquaintance, he referred to the proclamation offering a reward for my capture. Taking it for granted that any significant remark of mine would be reported to his government, and fearing that I might never have another opportunity to give my opinion to A. Johnston, I told him there was one man in the United States who knew that proclamation to be false. He remarked that my expression indicated a particular person. I answered that I did, and the person was the one who signed it, for he at least knew that I preferred Lincoln to himself. Some other conversation then occurred in regard to the route on which we were to be carried. Having several small children, one of them an infant, I expressed a preference for the easier route by water, supposing

not, it is the President, and not the Generals, upon whom the responsibility of action or non-action rests. We don't believe that any service in the world has more accomplished military men than are at the head of the Southern armies. Gen. A. Johnston, of Kentucky, Gen. Johnston, Commander in Chief of the Army of the Potomac, Gen. Beauregard, Gen. Smith, Gen. Lee, Gen. Magruder, --we know not where to stop,--form a host of military worthies that would adorn any service in any age. We concGen. Johnston, Commander in Chief of the Army of the Potomac, Gen. Beauregard, Gen. Smith, Gen. Lee, Gen. Magruder, --we know not where to stop,--form a host of military worthies that would adorn any service in any age. We conceive that they have every motive to accomplish everything within their power which can operate upon the most unsparing of their critics, and probably understand their business as well. And this is equally true of the President. Undoubtedly, if any one individual in this Government has more interest than any other in the success of our arms, it is the Chief Magistrate. We do not hold with the Lincolnites that the King can do no wrong, but we cannot resist the conclusion that our Executive, in

Gen. McClellan shortly concludes to pay them a visit there in force; designing to keep what troops they have at that point sick there, until another forward movement of McClellan may threaten them, as his latest movement compelled the evacuation of Falls Church and Vienna. Leesburg Evacuated by the enemy. As we go to press to-day accounts reach the Star office of the evacuation of Leesburg by the enemy. Some days since we took occasion to explain that such a step on Beauregard and Johnston's part would sooner or later become a military necessity, in view of Gen. McClellan's evident preparation for a general advance. With McC.'s advance located at Lewinsville and Minor's hill, Leesburg was clearly untenable by the enemy. A telegram from Gen. Stone's headquarters reached here last night, saying that our scouts had reported the enemy packing up in Leesburg at 4½ P. M. yesterday. Another received this forenoon conveys information that citizens from between the two arm
