Rebellion Record: a Diary of American Events: Poetry and Incidents., Volume 2. (ed. Frank Moore), Barbarities of the enemy. (search)
Barbarities of the enemy. The following interesting statements are taken from a private letter, dated at Washington, July 24, 1861. In compliance with your request, I sit down to apprise you of the fate of our quondam companions in our adventurous and eventful foray into Dixie. * * * Some of our companions say that they were at that place on the road where Colonel Montgomery (as I see by the papers) made that famous halt of the light brigade, (Russell & Co.,) and procured tea and lodging in a near-by house. They started on their return tramp at about 12, and must have been only a little way behind us all the way — reaching here in less than half an hour after we did. Yesterday afternoon I walked out to Camp Sprague, to ascertain, if possible, the fate of my uncle, of whom I had heard such bad news on the road, and from what I could gather my worst fears were confirmed. A sergeant of his company, who, by the way, had himself received a slight gun-shot wound in t

hat 'tis distance lends enchantment to the view. In the case of Mr. Russell, special correspondent, &c., of the Times, this is indisputably uregard down into annihilation. Some people's geese are swans. Mr. Russell, just now, is the particular swan of the London Times, which wants to make the world believe that at the battle, (known as that of Russell's Run, so far as he was concerned,) he was bravest of the brave, uof his flight, it was scarcely chivalric, or even courteous, for Mr. Russell to hint a fault and hesitate dislike in the case of any other getle, and therefore not to be excused away on the plea of haste,) Mr. Russell goes out of his way to cast an arrow of unjust reproach and insigood conduct of Blenker's Germans, of the 79th, and of the 69th, Mr. Russell slyly insinuates: Captain Meagher, indeed, I am told, yielded tonuated with the prudent I am told, is unworthy of the country of Mr. Russell's birth, and, we will add, of the honorable profession of journa

e Thunderer--the London Times--in which, as was expected, Mr. Correspondent Russell figures lengthily as delineator of what he saw of that fiect, perhaps, has he given an exaggerated picture of either; but Mr. Russell has not hesitated to rest on his limited opportunities of seeinge effusions of both, let us glance at the self-complacent sketch Mr. Russell gives of himself near the field of battle. After having lunchficer from the scene of strife, that the rebels are whipped, and Mr. Russell, mounting his horse, tries to get in front of the battle. He so Then follows a detailed account of the retreat, during which Mr. Russell represents himself as the only self-possessed man visible, as alher hurried in retiring from the field. Here is what is said of Mr. Russell by Mr. G. P. Putnam, of New York, in an article in the Knickerbod after the battle. (See Doc., p. 99.) In subsequent letters Mr. Russell indulges in further strictures upon the battle, and says it was

61. Russell's flight. The scene — Virginia's hills and dales; The time — the dead of night; The characters--ten thousand men, In swift “disgraceful” flight. Confusion and disorder reign, As far as eye can see, And look! a horseman leads the van-- A valiant Ll.D. And why this rushing? why this rout? You ask of horsemen pale. “Why they but run through deadly fear, And I to reach the mail!” How many a man in this poor world, If he but tell the tale, But sees his neighbor fly through fear, Himsecf to reach th

In Mr. Russell's sixth letter to the London Times, Written somewhere in South Carolina, he says:--From all quarters have come to my ears the echoes of the same voice, * * * the chorus that rings through the State of Sumter, Pinckney, and Marion --* * * That voice says: If we could only get one of the royal race of England to rule over us, we should be content! Pray, who has been poking fun at our clever visitor, after this fashion? To soft-solder a foreigner to a moderate extent, may be get one of the royal race of England to rule over us, we should be content! Pray, who has been poking fun at our clever visitor, after this fashion? To soft-solder a foreigner to a moderate extent, may be excusable on the score of politeness; but when such broad humbugs as this are palmed off on intelligent travellers, really it is too bad. We think the chorus of the State of Sumter, Pinckney, and Marion, has been guilty of a positive discourtesy toward Mr. Russell.--Savannah Republican.
