Judith White McGuire, Diary of a southern refugee during the war, by a lady of Virginia, 1862. (search)
t to come among his nearest of kin, at the head of ruffians like the Lancers, to despoil and destroy our country! I suppose that living in Philadelphia has hardened his heart against us, for the city of Brotherly Love is certainly more fierce towards us than any other. Boston cannot compare with it. This is mortifying, because many of us had friends in Philadelphia, whom we loved and admired. We hope and believe that the Quaker clement there is at the foundation of their illwill. June 25th, 1862. I got by chance a Philadelphia paper of the 20th. Very little bragging, but an earnest appeal to their men to be united, to forget that there will be any more presidential elections, and to let squabbling among themselves alone; that the critical time is at hand, etc. June Friday, 27th, 1862. The roar of cannon and musketry has been incessant to-day; now as I sit in the yard it is terrific. I doubt not that a general engagement is going on. O God! be with us now; nerve the

d our main encampments. General G. W. Smith, after the manner of Beauregard, has taken a surgeon's certificate, and is about to retire for a season to recruit his health. General J. E. Johnston is steadily and rapidly improving. I wish he were able to take the field. Despite the critics who know military affairs by instinct, he is a good soldier, never brags of what he did do, and could at this time render most valuable service. From the President to Mrs. Davis. Richmond, Va., June 25, 1862. Skirmishing yesterday and today, but not of a character to reveal the purpose of the enemy, and designed to conceal our own. Van Dorn is at Vicksburg, and preparing to make a desperate defence. Bragg may effect something, since Halleck has divided his force, and I hope will try, but there is reason to fear that his army has been woefully demoralized. Butler, properly surnamed the beast, has added to his claim for infamous notoriety by his recent orders, and report charges him wi

troops during the afternoon, crossed the Swamp at Brackett's Ford, and reached the Charles City road with the rear of his column at 10 P. M. when the same statement was first made in 1863, General Heintzelman wrote the following letter: headquarters defenses of Washington, April 11th, 1863. General L. Thomas, Adjutant-General, U. S. A., Washington. General: I find in the New York Tribune of the 8th of April a preliminary report of the operations of the Army of the Potomac, since June 25th, 1862, made by General G. B. McClellan, ... in a paragraph commencing on the 28th Porter's Corps was also moved across the White Oak Swamp, etc., is the following: they were ordered to hold this position until dark, then to fall back across the Swamp and rejoin the rest of the Army. This order was not fully carried out, nor was the exact position I designated occupied by the different divisions concerned. I was furnished with a map marked in red with the positions we should occ

cipation of defeat, he disclaimed all responsibility for that also. I will do all that a General can do with the splendid Army I have the honor to command, he said, and if it is destroyed by overwhelming numbers, can at least die with it and share its fate. But if the result of the :action, which will probably occur to-morrow, or within a short time, is a disaster, the responsibility cannot be thrown on my shoulders; it must rest where it belongs. Dispatches to the Secretary of War, June 25, 1862, at six o'clock in the evening. To this dispatch the President replied, that the General's suggestion that he might be overwhelmed by 200,000, and his talk as to whom the responsibility would belong, pained him very much. I give you all I can, said Mr. Lincoln, and act on the presumption that you will do the best you can with what you have; while you continue, ungenerously I think, to assume that I could give you more if I would, I have omitted, and shall omit, no opportunity to send

Being compelled to depend for his supplies by wagontrains from Rolla, far up in Missouri, he did not feel warranted in making aggressive movements, and he remained at Batesville until the 24th of June, when he moved on toward the Mississippi, crossing the Big Black River on pontoon bridges, and traversing a: dreary country, among a thin and hostile population, until he reached Clarendon, on the White River, a little below the mouth of the Cache River. Curtis was joined at Jacksonport June 25, 1862. by General C. C. Washburne, with the Third Wisconsin cavalry, which had made its way down from Springfield, in Missouri, without opposition. Southward the whole army moved, across the cypress swamps and canebrakes that line the Cache, and on the 7th of July the advance (Thirty-third Illinois), under Colonel A. P. Hovey, was attacked by about fifteen hundred Texas cavalry, led by General Albert Rust. Hovey halted until Lieutenant-Colonel Wood came up, with the First Indiana cavalry and
