Southern Historical Society Papers, Volume 1. (ed. Reverend J. William Jones), Report of Colonel D. T. Chandler, (search)
introductory paragraphs: Richmond, Va., October 5th, 1875. * * * * * * * * I will now give the history and contents of the letter which S. produces as the sole proof of my premeditated complicity in the murder of Federal prisoners. When Richmond was evacuated in April, 1865, this letter was found among the scattered debris of General Winder's office. The first time I ever saw it published in full was in the Washington Chronicle, a well-known Republican paper, of the date of August 25, 1868. It was then and there made the basis of a savage attack upon me. Of course, everything in the letter which could be damaging to me was set forth. The latter part of it was printed in italics. I will give the letter as it appeared in the Chronicle, and beneath it I will give the version of S. I did not retain a copy, but I believe the letter as it appeared in the Chronicle is exactly the one which I did write. Here, then, are the two versions: The Chronicle version.City Poi

anged, Robert Ould replied, We will die in the last ditch before giving up the right to send slaves back to slavery. Letter of General S. A. Merideth, Ludlow's successor as Commissioner, to the editor of the Buffalo Commercial Advertiser, August 25, 1868. General Merideth in his official communication to Robert Ould, the Confederate Commissioner, on the 29th of October, 1863, said, in relation to the interruption of the exchange of prisoners: The history of this matter, as I understand it, ir to himself or to his country; and this for the purpose of weakening our military arm, and deterring our people from prosecuting the war. It was this horrid fact, that General Merideth, well informed in the matter, alluded to in the letter Aug. 25, 1868. we have cited, when he said: On the 25th of November, 1863, I offered to send immediately to City Point, twelve thousand or more Confederate prisoners, to be exchanged for Union soldiers confined in the South. This proposition was distinctl
Harper's Encyclopedia of United States History (ed. Benson Lossing), Elliott, Charles Loring, 1812-1868 (search)
Elliott, Charles Loring, 1812-1868 Painter; born in Scipio, N. Y., in December, 1812; was the son of an architect, who prepared him for that profession. He became a pupil of Trumbull, in New York, and afterwards of Quidor, a painter of fancy-pieces. Having acquired the technicalities of the art, his chief employment for a time was copying engravings in oil, and afterwards he attempted portraits. He practised portrait-painting in the interior of New York for about ten years, when he went to the city (1845), where he soon rose to the head of his profession as a portrait-painter. It is said that he painted 700 portraits, many of them of distinguished men. His likenesses were always remarkable for fidelity, and for beauty and vigor of coloring. He died in Albany, Aug. 25, 1868.
