Varina Davis, Jefferson Davis: Ex-President of the Confederate States of America, A Memoir by his Wife, Volume 2, chapter 81 (search)
f my life for the Constitution and the liberties it was formed to secure, remains as ardent in age as it was in youth. The Methodist Church South has been to me the object of admiration and grateful affection, because of its fidelity to principle despite the pressure of wealth and power, by the good of its underpaid ministers, who have gone along the highways to penetrate unfrequented regions, and there preach the gospel to the poor. Often has my memory recalled the prophetic vision of Bishop Marvin. Will it be fulfilled by introducing politics into the organization of the Church he nobly illustrated? Fanaticism looks through a reversed telescope, minimizing everything save its special object. What though one should point a prohibitionist to the civilizing, harmonizing, peace-securing, comfort-giving effects of commerce among the nations? If he thought it interfered with his peculiar ism, would he not probably answer by irrelevant catchwords? The time was when sumptuary law

ent. Tt was evident, even at that early day, that the South had the sympathy of nearly all Europe — particularly of England and France. When Captain Wilkes first took me into his confidence, and told me what he purposed to do, I earnestly James M. Mason, Confederate commissioner to great Britain. From a photograph. reminded him of the great risk of a war with these two Governments supported as they were by powerful navies; and when we reached Key West I suggested that he consult with Judge Marvin, one of the ablest maritime lawyers. I soon saw, however, that he had mad e up his mind to intercept and capture the Trent as well as to take possession of the commissioners, and I therefore ceased to discuss the affair. As the next in rank to Captain Wilkes, I claimed the right to board the mail-packet. Captain Wilkes fully expected that I would tender my services for this delicate duty, and rather left to me the plan of carrying out his instructions. Following is the text of Capta

to some point on the road and station them as a reserve. Accordingly I took them back across the bridge where the slough crossed the road, and stationed them in line of battle at the side of the road, in a position to command it. About this time a sharp fire was opened up in the woods along our whole line of skirmishers with the enemy, who appeared to be in force, with infantry. Major Foster, who was then stationed near the barn in the open field with a small reserve of Company M, Captain Marvin, sent down and ordered my command forward into the open field, and stationed it to the right and front of his reserve, on the high ground, and within 20 or 25 rods of the upper edge of the woods, with a small detachment of Company E on another rise of ground at the farther end of the field. We remained in that position without any command to forward or retreat, until a small party of infantry (which had come up from a working party in General McCook's division, and deployed in the woods

e enemy--one an officer — are known to have been killed, and not less than thirty were wounded in the different skirmishes. The names of the killed and wounded, so far as ascertained, are as follows: Private George Bradley, Co. G, Ninth New-York cavalry, killed; Lieut. John T. Rutherford, Co. L, Ninth New-York cavalry, wounded in left shoulder; private John Phillips, Co. A, Ninth New-York cavalry, left arm, slightly ; private John L. Brewster, Co.

Pitcher, First Michigan cavalry; Sergt.-Major Smith, of Ninth New-York; Corp. Batten, of the Second Pennsylvania cavalry; private Gatten, Ninth New-York cavalry, and several others, were captured, but succeeded in making their escape. When Corporal Pitcher was captured, his horse and every thing, of course, were taken away from him. When h

oth those offices with laborious fidelity and to my entire satisfaction. To my Chief Surgeon, Thomas D. Wooten, to Surgeon William M. McPheeters, and to Assistant Field Purveyor R. M. Slaughter, my constant thanks and commendation are due for the sedulous manner in which they have at all times devoted themselves to the sick and wounded, but never more humanely or more conspicuously than upon this occasion. These gentlemen tell me that they owe their grateful acknowledgments to the Reverend Mr. Marvin for the very important services which he rendered at their hospitals, not only offering the consolation of his holy office to the dying, but ministering assiduously to the wants of the wounded. Major John Tyler, C. S. A., acting, for want of an appropriate command, as volunteer Aid-de-Camp, remained by my side in view of special contingencies, which might fittingly task his valuable accomplishments. Mr. Charles T.

s safe, in which the plates are dovetailed together, and angle-irons are tenoned into the corners to make them mutually sustaining. Fire-proof safe with water-jacket. Fig. 4531 is a safe having hollow walls connected with the city main. Marvin's burglarproof safe (a b, Fig. 4532) is of globular form, having no salient points to facilitate the action of a tool for opening it. It is made of chromeiron, whose extreme hardness renders it impervious to the drill, and the door, which is conis shown at c. The fire-proofing material is a composition of calcined plaster of Paris and alum, which, on being heated, gives up its water of crystallization; this is converted into steam, which prevents access of fire to the interior.

, the 6th, arrived from its bloody march through Baltimore. He afterwards rose to be major of the 10th Mass. Infantry, and died after the amputation of an arm, which was rendered necessary by wounds received at Spotsylvania. See his memoir in Marvin's Worcester in the War, p. 489. It is a curious illustration of the condition of discipline in the early part of the war that this officer's appointment as major from outside the regiment (Aug. 12, 1862) led to the resignation and dismissal of nihimself and was shot and killed when half-way across. Dr. Haven of the same regiment and Dr. Hayward of the 20th decided, as the former wrote afterwards, to remain and be taken, and get off what men we could. See memoirs of Grout and Haven in Marvin's Worcester in the War, pp. 456, 468. Capt. Moses W. Gatchell (15th Mass.) was also killed.

Rev. Dr. Adams' Ideal of a Merchant. These were usually in the Town Hall, but on this occasion American Hall was used. A comment was, The hall was well lighted, warmed and very convenient. The Ladies' Fair and Levee, on December 30, 1856, (same evening as the lecture) in the Town Hall, drew together, a highly respectable company. The Methodist ladies were raising money to buy an organ for their church, (beside Gravelly brook then). The Universalist minister (Maxham), and the Orthodox (Marvin), were present and spoke encouraging words. And be it noticed, the levee was opened by singing of hymns and prayer. Their minister was Rev. E. S. Best. Hon. J. M. Usher was there (of course he was) and in his remarks, for he was always ready with a speech, he alluded to the Best Methodists. Mr. Usher's wit seems to have been lost on the Journal man, as he alludes to Mr. Bess several times, and reports Mr. Usher as saying, they have a good organ at one end and soon will have another at the
