Judith White McGuire, Diary of a southern refugee during the war, by a lady of Virginia, 1863. (search)
tten to Colonel Northrup, Commissary-General, to ask an appointment as clerk in his department. So many of the young men have been ordered to the field, that this office has been open to ladies. My cousin, Colonel F. G. Ruffin, of the same office, has interested himself for me. They require us to say that we are really in want of the office-rather a work of supererogation, I should say, as no lady would bind herself to keep accounts for six hours per day without a dire necessity. November 13th, 1863. My appointment to a clerkship in the Commissary Department has been received, with a salary of $125 per month. The rooms are not ready for us to begin our duties, and Colonel R. has just called to tell me one of the requirements. As our duties are those of accountants, we are to go through a formal examination in arithmetic. If we do not, as the University boys say, pass, we are considered incompetent, and of course are dropped from the list of appointees. This requirement may

No useless slaughter, you see, though there was plenty of room for a blunder, as you would have known had you seen the lines of breastworks the fellows had; but we took part of them and scared them out of the rest. Headquarters Army of Potomac November 13, 1863 Here we continue to dwell in our pine wood, in grave content, consuming herds of cattle and car-loads of bread with much regularity.

Appendix. [no. 1. see page 585.] Washington, Nov. 13, 1863. to Major-General Butler: There is an urgent necessity to provide in your department a suitable depot for rebel prisoners of war, without any delay. I beg to recall the subject to your attention and ask you to take immediate measures to establish a depot at such point as you may deem suitable in your department, and inform me how soon you will be ready to receive prisoners of war, and in what numbers. Edwin M. Stanton, Secretary of War. Washington, Nov. 16, 1863. to Major-General Butler: Your report in regard to place for confinement of rebel prisoners has been received, and on consultation with the general-in-chief, it is believed to be inexpedient to select either Sewall's Front or Hatteras for the present. Therefore, all action in the matter is suspended. Edwin M. Stanton, Secretary of War. [no. 2. see page 586.] headquarters Department of Virginia and North Carolina, Fortress Monroe, Nov. 18, 1863.
