Lt.-Colonel Arthur J. Fremantle, Three Months in the Southern States, May, 1863. (search)
full Yankee uniform, but was treated with civility by all the Confederate soldiers. I had a long talk with him; he seemed a sensible man, and did not attempt to deny the universal enthusiasm and determination of the Southerners. He told me that General Grant had been very nearly killed at the taking of Jackson. He thought the war would probably terminate by a blow — up in the North. Notwithstanding the exasperation with which every South. I had to change cars at West Point and at Atlanta. At the latter place I was crammed into a desperately crowded train for Chattanooga. This country, Georgia, is much more inhabited and cultivated than Alabama. I travelled again all night. 28th may, 1863 (Thursday). I arrived at Chattanooga (Tennessee) at 4.30 A. M., and fell in with Captain Brown again; his negro recognized me, and immediately rushed up to shake hands. After breakfasting at Chattanooga, I started again at 7.30, by train, for Shelbyville, General Bragg's headqu

An immense number (I forget how many) of these are now made daily in the Government factory at Atlanta. I left Augusta at 7 P. M. by train for Charleston. My car was much crowded with Yankee prisoners. 8th June, 1863 (Monday). I arrived at Charleston at

the opinion of the Confederates that they can keep their armies recruited up to their present strength for several years; and, if the worst comes to the worst, they can always fall back upon their negroes as the last resort; but I do not think they contemplate such a necessity as likely to arise for a considerable time. With respect to the supply of arms, cannon, powder, and military stores, the Confederates are under no alarm whatever. Augusta furnishes more than sufficient gunpowder; Atlanta, copper caps, &c. The Tredegar works at Richmond, and other foundries, cast more cannon than is wanted; and the Federal generals have always hitherto proved themselves the most indefatigable purveyors of artillery to the Confederate Government, for even in those actions which they claim as drawn battles or as victories, such as Corinth, Murfreesborough, and Gettysburg, they have never failed to make over cannon to the Southerners without exacting any in return.
