videttes, dead, and suspended by ropes from trees on the roadside. We understand that Gen.

Barbarities of the enemy. The following interesting statements are taken from a private letter, dated at Washington, July 24, 1861. In compliance with your request, I sit down to apprise you of the fate of our quondam companions in our adventurous and eventful foray into Dixie. * * * Some of our companions say that they were at that place on the road where Colonel Montgomery (as I see by the papers) made that famous halt of the light brigade, (Russell & Co.,) and procured tea and lodging in a near-by house. They started on their return tramp at about 12, and must have been only a little way behind us all the way — reaching here in less than half an hour after we did. Yesterday afternoon I walked out to Camp Sprague, to ascertain, if possible, the fate of my uncle, of whom I had heard such bad news on the road, and from what I could gather my worst fears were confirmed. A sergeant of his company, who, by the way, had himself received a slight gun-shot wound in th

Reception of the News from Manassas — how the troops regard Gen. Patterson. Harper's Ferry, Wednesday, July 24, 1861. The army under Gen. Patterson came to camp in this place on Sunday, A. M. The men are now impatient, and well-nigh demoralized. The news of the battle near Washington came to camp last night, and the effect was most disheartening. The result of that disaster is attributed to our division of the army. At Charlestown we were within four miles of Johnston, as he passed. News of his movement to join Beauregard at the Junction was carried to Gen. Patterson, but he took no notice of it, and allowed the transferment. All sorts of things are said of him. He passed along the lines yesterday, and heard the opinion of the troops. They assaulted him with all sorts of epithets. Go home, you old coward, Duck him, Hang him, Throw him into the river, He's an old secessionist, Shoot him --these and other shouts fell on his ear. He stopped in front of the Rhode Island
Rebellion Record: a Diary of American Events: Poetry and Incidents., Volume 2. (ed. Frank Moore), Blenker's brigade — the reserve. (search)
Blenker's brigade — the reserve. Washington, Tuesday, July 23, 1861. At the late battle in the valley along Bull Run, I was present, and in all the accounts given of the part taken by different divisions, brigades, and regiments, I have not yet seen in print any detailed statement in reference to the important duty assigned to, and so well performed by, the brigade under command of Gen. Louis Blenker, late colonel of the New York German Rifles. Gen. Blenker's command was appointed as the reserve, and consisted of four regiments — the German Rifles, Garibaldians, and two other German regiments — in all, something less than four thousand men. They were selected for this post of honor on account of the large experience of both officers and men in the battle-fields of Europe, it being well-known that the leading officers, and very many of the private soldiers, had already been in five, ten, or twenty battles upon the continent, and the most experienced and trustworthy of all o<

behavior of our troops, successfully engaged for hours before and up to the time of his arrival — the first flying portion only of which he saw, and among whom he was himself (on testimony presently to be quoted) soon found in hasty retreat to Washington. The editor of the Times, also, has doubtless based his bitterly sarcastic criticism upon the battle and the conduct of the volunteers, upon the same unfair, slender means of judging either, furnished by his purveyor. Without adverting to ts to save Uncle Sam's property, of eloquent reproofs to craven officers, and ingenious comfortings to anxious pickets; but it is in strange contrast with another sketch by another artist, of this same devoted hero, as he appeared on the road to Washington. Could a sudden fear of being caught and supplied with an unseasonable suit of tar and feathers, promised him by Southern journals for his strictures upon the Southern people, have caused the change in his aspect which the following sketch rep

Sprague to show us the way, And “How many miles to the Junction?” The Rhode Island boys cheered us on out of sight, After giving the following injunction: “Just keep up your courage — you'll get there tonight, For 'tis only nine miles to the Junction.” They gave us hot coffee, a grasp of the hand, Which cheered and refreshed our exhaustion, We reached in six hours the long-promised land, For 'twas “only nine miles to the Junction.” chorus.--Only nine miles, &c. And now as we meet them on Washington's streets, They always do hail us with unction, And still the old cry some one surely repeats, “'Twas only nine miles to the Junction.” Three cheers for the warm-hearted Rhode Island boys, May each one be true to his function, And whene'er we meet, let us each other greet With “Only nine miles to the Junction.” chorus.--Only nine miles, &c. Nine cheers for the flag under which we will fight, If the traitors should dare to assail it; One cheer for each mile we made on that n

33. Alarum. Men of America, Up from your slumbers! Dash the thick mist away, Each soul that cumbers! Freedom is yet alive! Wake, in her name to strive; Swarm from each busy hive Resistless numbers. Were we not freemen born-- Hero-descended? When shall the hiss of scorn, Our fame have ended? The soil of Washington Traitors should harbor none! Though all our rivers run With crimson blended. Our realm is half a world; Ocean to ocean! Shall our flag now be furled 'Mid war's commotion? No! let our Chief's command, Over broad lake and land, Rouse every freeman's hand, Each heart's devotion? Up! up for Liberty! The battle rages Of our land's history Blood stains the pages. Death may be welcome now; Though cold the laurel'd brow, Men to its fame shall bow All through the ages. From caitiff fear or flight, Good Lord, deliver! By truce with traitor might, Give us peace, never! Rather go down to dust, As in the end we must, Placing in God our trust, Freemen for ever! --Vanity Fair.

the hut of the slave-- Whose stars in the face of no foe e'er waxed pale, And whose stripes are for those that the stars dare assail-- Whose folds every year broader and broader have grown, Till they shadow both arctic and tropical zone, From the Sierra Nevada to Florida's shore, And, like Oliver Twist, are still asking for more. That banner whose infantile bunting can boast, To have witnessed the Union's great charter engrossed, Which at Boston saw Freedom's stout struggle begun, And from Washington welcomed its victory won-- For our fathers in rebel defiance it spread, But to us it waves brotherly greeting instead; And Concord and Peace, not Bellona and Mars, Now support England's Jack and the States' Stripes and Stars. Can it be there are parricide hands that would tear This Star-Spangled Banner, so broad and so fair? And if there be hands would such sacrilege try, Is the bunting too weak the attempt to defy? Alas! while its woof Freedom wove in her loom, She paused in her work, an

And with Thine holy arm of might, Protect Thy children through the fight! Give us the victory, Lord, we pray! Conquerors we, in battle fray! Conquerors in all strife with sin, That life's conflicts we may win! chorus.--Hark! the paean of our band! God! our Fathers! and our Land! Freedom! Union! Peace! and Love! Watchwords in the world above. Sainted martyrs brave of old, Sainted heroes, sad behold Madly the foe — an erring band, Madly the foe, with impious hand! Invade the shrine, where sacred rest The blood-earned trophies of the blest! By our Washington's great name, By our country's glorious fame! For our Constitution just! For our God! in whom we trust. chorus.--Ring the paean of our band, God! our Fathers, and our Land! Freedom! Union! Peace! and Love! Watchwords in the heaven above! New York, June 5, 1861.
