F. W. Lander (search for this): chapter 8
Gen. Lander, a short time before his death, was requested to furnish materials for his biography, to be published in the forthcoming work entitled: The Officers of the Union Army and Navy, their Lives and Portraits. In replying, he wrote the following characteristic letter: headquarters camp Kelly, January 24, 1862. dear Sirs: I do not know any event of my life that in public opinion would be worth noting. I have no time to write history, though I am obliged for the kindness which prompt dear Sirs: I do not know any event of my life that in public opinion would be worth noting. I have no time to write history, though I am obliged for the kindness which prompted you to ask me to do so. My public services have been greatly over-estimated, and if you could know the very poor opinion I entertain of myself and others now charged with the holy mission of preserving this republic, you would never ask it. I and, most respectfully yours, F. W. Lander, Brigadier-General U. S. V.
Burnside (search for this): chapter 9
Worthy of record.--A letter from an officer who was with Burnside's expedition at the battle of Camden, says: I met Col. Robie of Binghamton during the battle, with his cap stuck on the back part of his head, looking the happiest man I ever saw. I remember meeting him as he was leading the centre of the regiment over a heavy ditch, with sword drawn, and hearing him speak to and encourage the boys on. Just then a tremendous volley was poured into the rebel nest. That's it! A good one! he cried. They returned a perfect shower of grape and canister, tearing through and over us. Col. Robie's countenance was beaming, and turning to the men, he called out: Come on, my children, I'll die with you! Press on, my boys! Now is the time to show yourselves! And as a rifled shell goes singing by his head, he cries in his joy: Ye gods! isn't this a handsome fight!

Samuel Phillips (search for this): chapter 10
Samuel Phillips day, American correspondent of the London Herald, writes to that paper as follows Having found universal profanity at the North, and piety at the South, he adds: One officer informed me that, in giving orders for the first volley, which took such tremendous effect, he addressed his men thus: The Lord have mercy on their souls! but fire.
Jesus Christ (search for this): chapter 11
ur cruel adversaries; convince them of the unrighteousness of their cause; and if they still persist in their sanguinary purposes, oh! let the voice of thine own unerring justice, sounding in their hearts, constrain them to drop their weapons of war from their unnerved hands in the day of battle. Be thou present, 0 God of wisdom; and direct the councils of this honorable assembly! enable them to settle things on the best and surest foundation, that the scene of blood may be speedily closed; that order, harmony, and peace may be effectually restored, and truth and justice, religion and piety prevail and flourish among thy people. Preserve the health of their bodies and the vigor of their minds; shower down upon them and the millions they here represent such temporal blessings as thou seest expedient for them in this world, and crown them with everlasting glory in the world to come. All this we ask in the name and through the merits of Jesus Christ, thy Son and our Saviour. Amen!
March 13th (search for this): chapter 12
A letter from New-Orleans to the Mobile Register of March thirteenth, says that the Southern Commissioners are greatly dispirited at the reception which M. Thouvenel gave Mr. Slidell. But as Mr. Yancey observed in his speech, Slavery has made such a wall of partition between the South and Europe, that all hopes of a prompt recognition by England and France must be for the present abandoned. As to their want of cotton, I am of the opinion expressed by Mr. Semmes, of Louisiana, in the confederate Congress, and I have long since abandoned the idea that cotton is king. We have tested the power of King Cotton and found him to be wanting. We must now abandon all dependence on foreign intervention, and trust only our sword and the justice of our cause.--Mobile Register, March 18.
