Rebellion Record: a Diary of American Events: Poetry and Incidents., Volume 7. (ed. Frank Moore), Mother, can I go? (search)
Mother, can I go? by A. H. Sands. I am writing to you, mother, knowing well what you will say, When you read with tearful fondness all I write to you to-day, Knowing well the flame of ardor on a loyal mother's part, That will kindle with each impulse, with each throbbing of your heart. I have heard my country calling for her sons that still are true; I have loved that country, mother, only next to God and you, And my soul is springing forward to resist her bitter foe: Can I go, my dearest mother? tell me, mother, can I go?

In prosperity I loved her — in her days of dark distress With your spirit in me, mother, could I love that country less? They have pierced her heart with treason, they have caused her sons to bleed, They have robbed her in her kindness, they have triumphed in her need; They have trampled on her standard, and she calls me in her woe: Ca

Shoes for the soldiers. --A large and influential meeting of citizens was held yesterday, in pursuance of the call made in the daily papers, the object being to raise money to purchase shoes for such of the soldiers of Gen. Loe's army as might be in need. Rev. J. Lansing Burrows, of the 1st Baptist Church, was chosen Charman, and A. H. Sands, Esq. Secretary of the meeting. A number of gentlemen addressed the meeting on the objects proposed to be accomplished by the movement. Several testified from their own personal observation to the destitute condition of some of the soldiers, and the necessity of aiding the Government in supplying their wants in respect to shoes and clothing. The most generous disposition was manifested by those present, and if their feelings be an index, as we are sure it is, of the popular heart, there will be no difficulty in raising any amount necessary. The gentlemen present subscribed between four and five thousand dollars on the spot, some ind

n Shater & Co., and informing them of his business, was at once shown a bill which they had paid M. Kraker, on the 30th of September, amounting to $12,300. On Thursday last Mr. Sinton informed the District Attorney of what he had learned, and was sent by him to Commissioner Watson, who issued a warrant of arrest for the accused. That afternoon Marshal Bass learned that Krakar had gone to Wilmington, N. C., to attend the cargo sales, and telegraphed the Chief of Police to arrest him. This was not done, however, and on Saturday Krakar returned to this city, when he was arrested by Marshal Myers. At 1 o'clock on Saturday the accused was arraigned before Commissioner Sands, who, after hearing the opening of the cause, adjourned the examination until to-day, and admitted the accused to bail in the sum of $24,000 for his appearance. If convicted of the offence, the punishment is imprisonment in the penitentiary for a term not exceeding five years, and fine not exceeding $5,000.

Running persons through the lines. --Before Commissioner A. H. Sands, yesterday, the cases against Dr. William Maclure, Robert Kirby, and M. Harris, charged with aiding and abetting persons to reach the Yankee lines, were again taken up. After the examination of witnesses the Commissioner failed to find any evidence convicting the two latter, whereupon Kirby was discharged from custody; but Harris, having a substitute in the service, and being, under a recent act of Congress, liable to military duty, was ordered to be taken to the enrolling officer. On account of the absence of Judge Crump, counsel for Maclure, his examination was not concluded, but was postponed till Saturday next, and the accused required to give bail to answer for three offences, said surely to be in the sum of $4,000 for the first two, and $3,000 for the third one.
