Rebellion Record: a Diary of American Events: Documents and Narratives, Volume 6. (ed. Frank Moore), chapter 155 (search)
Doc. 145.-official correspondence between Governor Stanly and General Hill. Major-General Hill to Governor Stanly. Goldsboro, N. C., March 24, 1863. His Excellency E. Stanly, Military Governor of North-Carolina: sir: A letter from you to Major-General French has been referred to me as his successor. It was with deep mortification and pain I perceived that a son of the proud and honored house of Stanly should so far forget his noble lineage as to descend to low abuse of his own peoave committed a great crime in your part in this horrid war. You commenced with perjury, and are trying to sustain yourself with impudence and falsehood. As a State rights village politician you were simply ridiculous. Do not attempt, like the frog in the fable, to swell to the size of the ox, by parading your insolence under the name of a Major-General in the confederate States army. You will soon be, in the eyes of all sensible people, utterly contemptible. Yours, etc., Edward Stanly.
