Robert Lewis Dabney, Life and Commands of Lieutenand- General Thomas J. Jackson, Chapter 4: life in Lexington. (search)
would he have ever presumed on such a profane interpretation of His secret will, as to conclude that the victory of Dunbar was sufficient proof, without the teachings of scriptural principles of duty, of the righteousness of the invasion of Scotland. There was never, in Jackson's piety, a particle of that false heat which could prompt a wish to intrude into clerical functions. Every instinct of his soul approved the beauty of a regular and righteous order. His religion was of the type of Hampden, rather than of the Independent. Especially was his character unlike Cromwell's, in its freedom from cant; his correct taste abhorred it. Sincerity was his grand characteristic. With him profession always came short of the reality; he was incapable of affecting what he did not feel; and it would have been for him an impossibility to use speech with the diplomatic art of concealing, instead of expressing, his true intent. His action, like Cromwell's, was always vigorous, and at the call o

the golden fields of the future waving in peace and plenty. He beheld, and blessed God, but was not to enter in. In a discourse delivered on Lincoln on the 23d of that month, Henry Ward Beecher said: And now the martyr is moving in triumphal march, mightier than when alive. The nation rises up at every stage of his coming. Cities and states are his pall-bearers, and the cannon speaks the hours with solemn progression. Dead, dead, dead, he yet speaketh. Is Washington dead? Is Hampden dead? Is any man that was ever fit to live dead? Disenthralled of flesh, risen to the unobstructed sphere where passion never comes, he begins his illimitable work. His life is now grafted upon the infinite, and will be fruitful as no earthly life can be. Pass on, thou that hast overcome. Ye people, behold the martyr whose blood, as so many articulate words, pleads for fidelity, for law, for liberty. The funeral train reached Springfield on the 3d of May. The casket was borne to th

dation of our institutions. They should drink the waters of the fountain at the source of our colonial and early history. You, men of Boston, go to the street where the massacre occurred in 1770. There you should learn how your fathers strove for community rights. And near the same spot you should learn how proudly the delegation of Democracy came to demand the removal of the troops from Boston, and how the venerable Samuel Adams stood asserting the rights of Democracy, dauntless as Hampden, clear and eloquent as Sidney; and how they drove out the myrmidons who had trampled on the rights of the people. All over our country, these monuments, instructive to the present generation, of what our fathers did, are to be found. In the library of your association for the collection of your early history, I found a letter descriptive of the reading of the church service to his army by General Washington, during one of those winters when the army was ill-clad and without shoes, whe

When I took command, I found these examinations made by soldiers taken from the ranks to do it, so that their services were lost to the army. I sent back the soldiers and employed civilians as clerks to examine these invoices, for they were legion, and put a charge of one per cent. to pay the clerks and other necessary expenses, such as providing for sick soldiers, and spent $6,000 of the fund to buy vaccinating matter for our soldiers in rebel prisons, and matters of like kind. Norfolk, Hampden, and Yorktown were the points at which the importations and examinations were made. Again, Congress passed a law allowing the recruiting of soldiers for the loyal States in my department. The result was that a herd of recruiting agents came down there to take away all my able-bodied blacks, to be credited as soldiers to their States, leaving the women and children to be taken care of by the United States. Now, when recruiting was done in the several States, care was taken of the famil

A letter from the Maine Ninth regiment, at Fernandina, announces the desertion to the enemy of Albert W. Lunt, of Hampden. The villain gave information to the enemy which enabled them to capture a sergeant's guard, who were posted at a house a few miles distant. They took six of this detachment prisoners, and killed one, Anson Chase, of South-Sebec. A record should be kept of such villains, as they do in the British service, whereby if they are ever found or heard from in any part of the world at any time, they may be seized and sent home for punishment. Lunt had just served out a term in the Maine State Prison when he joined the regiment.--Boston Transcript, May 2.
