Rebellion Record: a Diary of American Events: Poetry and Incidents., Volume 7. (ed. Frank Moore), The First recruit. (search)
The First recruit. On the sixteenth of April, 1861, when the Governor of Pennsylvania, just after the Fort Sumter affair, at the instance of President Lincoln, called for three companies of militia from the counties of Mifflin, Schuylkill, and Berks, the first recruit was a Philadelphian, who telegraphed his application. He served three months with the Logan guard, of Lewistown, Mifflin county, and is now in the Armory Square Hospital, under Surgeon George H. Mitchell's medical treatment. His name is John T. Hunter, and he is now attached to the Nineteenth regiment Pennsylvania volunteers.--Philadelphia Inquirer, March 16.

Rebel letters written on Northern soil. Hanover, Pa., July 1, 1863.--The rebel cavalry left this vicinity last evening or this morning, and passed on by the way of Duke's Mill, Jefferson, and Seven Valleys. The following correspondence from rebel soldiers to their friends in Dixie was captured this morning: York, Pa., June 20, 1863. --I arrived here yesterday, about eight P. M., finding General Early with his headquarters at the Court-House. York was surrendered by the authoritiehand, fight till I die or conquer. This is my motto, actuated by pure motives and principles. York, Pa., June 29, 1863. --We are in strong force, numbering about eight thousand. There are about sixty thousand to eighty thousand rebels in Pennsylvania. We will march on Harrisburgh, I expect, to-night. About six hundred cavalrymen were at Hanover Saturday night. They destroyed the railroad for a few miles, took what horses they wanted, and then made back. I expect we will make an attack o

his horse into the engine-room of my mill, a place which must be kept as clean as a parlor; the men broke all the locks, and defiled every apartment from basement to garret. Yet all this time I have been quartering sick officers at my house, and my new hotel is thrown open to the men to sleep in free of charge. I told General Lee, continued Mr. Givin, that the South must give it up; that the North would fight it out rather than see the country broken in two, and that their invasion of Pennsylvania was a great mistake. What would you do, replied the General, if you were in our place? Here he produced copies of the Richmond papers, which complained so bitterly about the war being waged in the South, while it ought to be carried into the Free States. One of the motives to this inroad was, therefore, the pressure of public opinion brought to bear on the confederate government by means of the newspapers. The circumstance shows that uncle Jeff's throne is not so stable as has been su

The rebel press on the Gettysburgh battle. General Lee's magnificent victory at Gettysburg has, doubtless, cost us very dear, as many of us will know too well when the sad details come in. At present we have only the great and glorious result — the greatest army of the Yankee nation swept away, trampled under foot, and all but annihilated upon its owr soil — the best part of Pennsylvania laid under contribution to sustain our army, and, in some small measure, make good our heavy losses; the second city on the continent open to our armies, and already reckoning up the number of millions it must pay to ransom it from pillage and conflagration; our own city of Baltimore waiting its deliverance with a passionate but secret joy; and Washington, that foul den of thieves, expecting the righteous vengeance of heaven for the hideous crimes that have been done within its walls. In Philadelphia, how the Quakers quake this day! In Washington, how the whole brood of Lincoln and his' rascal m

The Northern invasion of Lee. What means this invasion of Lee? This Northern invasion by Lee? Can any one tell the extent of his lines? And why he cuts up such impertinent shines? And where it is going? Has any one guessed? On a frolic up North, or a raid in the West, This great rebel army of Lee? Some say that this army of Lee, This half famished army of Lee, Has invaded the North to secure the relief Of old Pennsylvania's bread, butter, and beef, And horses and blankets, and shirts, boots and shoes, And that her choice whisky they will not refuse, These tatterdemalions of Lee. Some guess that this army of Lee, This penniless army of Lee, Is destined to play us some ruinous pranks, To surprise Philadelphia, and clean out her banks And Uncle Sam's mint, and their treasures untold In “greenbacks” and nickel, and silver and gold, This vagabond army of Lee. And others will have it that Lee, Or a part of this army of Lee, Is moving North-West, and to Pittsburgh is bound, To sack it, and

of a twist, Our schemes tyrant Lincoln sits squat on; We try to dissuade those who want to enlist, But as to our fighting — we daren't resist.” “You cowardly scum!” says King Cotton, King Cotton, “You cowardly scum!” says King Cotton. King Cotton goes off with three fleas in his ear; He goes back to Jefferson Davis. Says Jeff, “How is this? What! are you again here? And could you do nothing to save us? Our great institutions are at their last kick, And all our confederacy rotten; Up in Pennsylvania I took my best trick, But Meade was at hand, and he trumped me too quick. ” We are up a tree, “says King Cotton, King Cotton, ” We are up a tree, “says King Cotton. King Cotton he took off his (sham) royal crown, He took off his robe that was gay; His palmetto sceptre he sadly laid down, And bade an adieu to his glory. “Since I must confess that my subjects are free. So well they without me have got on, I'll give up to Corn, for too plainly I see That he is the ruler the

column appeared, coming from the river. Our captures to-day amounted to some twenty rebels and two sutler's wagons. We took infantrymen belonging to Eighth Florida, Sixteenth Mississippi, Third and Sixteenth Virginia. Thus you see, Messrs. Editors, we are getting along pretty well. I forward you these particulars as an eye-witness and participator in the honor of most of the captures. The line of the enemy's march for the last two days has been in the direction of Hagerstown. The previous days they had passed through Boonsboro and some toward Frederick, but since the main body has been moving on to Hagerstown — where next, heaven knows! unless we meet and repel the invader from our soil. This is no time for fireside talk on the probabilities of this grand raid. Now is no time for delay. Let us meet them when and where they be found, and teach them once for all the lesson that Maryland and Pennsylvania have no sympathies with their ruthless invaders. Yours, as ever, C. C

egiment was an excellent brass band, and on the first evening of their arrival they enlivened the town by playing rebel airs. At last they struck up Dixie; immediately some twenty young ladies, headed by Miss McCameron and Miss Emma Wantz, joined in singing the Star-Spangled banner, which soon drowned the rebel horns. This created intense feeling, and the Union boys sent up shout after shout. Another incident, worthy of note, occurred after a portion of the rebel army had passed into Pennsylvania. Four Union prisoners, captured near Carlisle, were brought into town under guard, when the two young ladies above named stepped into the street and presented each prisoner with a bouquet, tied with red, white, and blue. In passing through Maryland the rebel army lost large numbers by desertion, the most of them being Virginians and North-Carolinians, while some few were Northern men and foreigners. When the Union cavalry entered the town several rebel soldiers came in and gave themse
