The Daily Dispatch: June 12, 1861., [Electronic resource], An Adventure. (search)
ring the other day, "I have sent two sons away in our volunteer army; I have sent them as to a funeral; and while this war lasts I shall remain as a mourner." But, for the wretch who can rejoice to see our whole country plunging into blood, and feel pride in the thought that the soldiers of his State shall burn and plunder and murder the people of a sister State, and that State, too, old Virginia, we have feelings of contempt and sorrow which no language can describe. If we must have war, we need not also cease to be human. If we must fight, we need not be savages. A minister in Concord, N. H., in addressing a regiment of volunteers the other day, said, "Whenever you get your eyes on a slave-holder, aim at his heart." Such a man would, of course, shoot Washington if he were alive. Into what a gulf of moral, political and religious depravity have we plunged! Does any man imagine that the institutions of freedom can long survive in the midst of such a spirit of wrong and violence?
The Daily Dispatch: June 12, 1861., [Electronic resource], Lord Lyons. (search)
Lord Lyons. --The Cincinnati Commercial, of the 6th instant, contains the following dispatch from Washington: Lord Lyons was behaving so badly a few weeks ago, that he was told if he did not amend, his Government would be requested to recall him. He hauled in his horns somewhat, but it is believed his advices to his Government are unfriendly. The Cabinet has been in session every day this week devoting much time to foreign affairs. Advices from England to the State Department, by the last arrival, are said to be ominous of trouble.
The Daily Dispatch: June 12, 1861., [Electronic resource], article 6 (search)
piscopalian: Citizen Soldier:--You go forth at your country's call, to uphold your country's honor, and preserve her institutions. Permit a friend to give you a few hints in the way of advice. Cherish a deep feeling of dependence on Almighty God, who alone can shield you in the hour of danger, and crown your mission with success. Remember the Sabbath day, and endeavor to keep it holy unto the Lord. Be sure to carry your Bible with you, and use it as a book given to men to be a lamp unto their feet, and a light unto their path. Seek to make your camp a Christian camp, where daily prayer shall be offered to God. Allow no vindictive or revengeful passion to have a place in your heart. Let your very calling remind you that there is but a step between you and death. Gen. Havelock was not the worse soldier for being a devout Christian. The great and good Washington discountenanced profane swearing in the army, both by precept and example.
