William W. Bennett, A narrative of the great revival which prevailed in the Southern armies during the late Civil War, Chapter 16: spring of 1863. (search)
Confederates made no serious demonstrations against the place. The movement was not for the purpose of capturing Suffolk, but to divert the attention of the Federals while vast stores of provisions were being removed from the lower counties of North Carolina. This accomplished, our forces withdrew for more decisive operations in other quarters. It would hardly be expected that on the lines near Suffolk much could be done in promoting the revival. But even there the work went on. Rev. W. A. Simmons, of Georgia, one of the most devoted and efficient chaplains in the army, says of the scenes he here witnessed : In the midst of all these changes and fighting, we manage to keep up our religious services.

While abstaining at this time from personal questions, Sumner in February spoke and voted against the confirmation of W. A. Simmons as collector of the port of Boston, doing so in conformity with the general opinion of the merchants and the best people. General Butler had presented the name to the President. The nominee belonged to a type of men then much in favor,—likemore effective with the set then controlling the Senate than any public man who was not a member of that body. Two years later, by a similar intervention, he obtained from the same body the rejection of R. H. Dana, Jr., as minister to England. Simmons's career in office was such that President Hayes refused to give him a second term; and his later connection with a department of the municipal administration of Boston appears in court records. The Massachusetts Legislature, by large majorit
