Southern Historical Society Papers, Volume 21. (ed. Reverend J. William Jones), Memorial address (search)
battle of Manassas was fought, less than a month later, our soldiers moved forward in the confidence that Southern pluck would again prevail over a foe that had shown so little dash and confidence in this encounter. There was on the Federal side at least one stout leader, who displayed the spirit of a hero. When Major Theodore Winthrop fell within fifteen feet of our line, bravely leading a regiment in the charge, even a generous foe felt that he was worthy to bear the name of the two Winthrops by whose courage and judgment Americans had first gained a foothold in this country. Committed everything to God. To know D. H. Hill as the soldier of iron nerve, who rode unmoved in showers of shot and shell, or rebuked in scathing terms a laggard or deserter, was to understand nothing of his true nature.

We have not yet heard what honors the city of Lowell and Commonwealth of Massachusetts propose to bestow upon General Butler. He is a native son of Massachusetts, and a glory to the State. He has cast all the renown of her Websters and Winthrops completely in the shade. He is the best embodiment of Massachusetts character that the war has yet produced. He only needs a slight varnish of Puritanism to make him perfect. We grieve to say that "General Butler does not add to his other virtues that of being a hypocrite. The brethren ought to take him in hand, and induce him to become a member of the Massachusetts Young Men's Christian Association. With this single exception, Butler is an honor to his native State.--He has made his own fortune and unmade the fortunes of a good many other people. What higher recommendation could man present to New England admiration and respect. Lowell ought to present him the freedom of the city in a gold box. He has had the freedom of the So
