Rebellion Record: a Diary of American Events: Poetry and Incidents., Volume 4. (ed. Frank Moore), An Editor before the Cabinet. (search)
rawn around certain passages which I recognised as being part of my letter of several weeks ago. They looked like Mr. Benton's expunged resolutions on the Senate Journal. Mr. Welles was so deeply engaged in reading a fourth copy, that he did not look up as I went in. It seems that the mailing clerks at Jamestown had neglected to furnish the Navy Department with a copy, and the Secretary was deeply absorbed in its perusal. Mr. Stanton was busy writing his recent order, thanking God and Gen. Halleck for the victory and slaughter at Pittsburgh Landing, and paid no attention to my entrance. Mr. Lincoln said: A Cabinet meeting had been called at the request of Gen. McClellan, to consider my offence in writing the letter conspicuously marked in the Democrat before us, and which had been kindly furnished several of their number by certain patriotic and high-toned gentlemen in Jamestown, N. Y. But they would have to delay a few minutes, to await the arrival of the Commodore from Yorktow

Gen. Halleck on Retaliation.--Colonel Kellogg wrote to Gen. Paine, commanding at Cairo, Ill., that the cavalry under his command had discovered that the rebels had murdered five Union men; Gen. Paine replied: Hang one of the rebel cavalry for each Union man murdered, and after this kill two for each. Continue to scout, capture, and kill. Gen. Halleck has issued a general order, strongly disapproving of Gen. Paine's order, which is very properly characterized as contrary to the rules of civilized war, and if its spirit should be adopted, the whole country would be covered with blood. Gen. Halleck also blamed the officer mentioned for furnishing the cGen. Halleck also blamed the officer mentioned for furnishing the correspondence to the press, and declared that any officer who publishes, without proper authority, information respecting the movements of the armies, even of battles won, or any official papers, will be arrested and tried by a court-martial. N. Y. World, March 4.

Oath-Taking in St. Louis.--The St. Louis papers publish long lists of the person making the oath of allegiance in compliance with Gen. Halleck's recommendation. Some of them append remarks to their signatures. The following is an instance: Truman M. Post, pastor of the First Trinitarian Congregational church of St. Louis. As a minister of the Gospel, and a trustee of a State charity, I recognise the fitness of the call on me for my oath of allegiance. Cordially and gratefully do I give in this my adhesion to my country in this hour of terrible trial, regarding it as the source of innumerable blessings to myself, and the millions of my countrymen, and fully believing the present attempt to destroy it to be a curse against both God and man, against the present and the future, against ourselves and the human race, with hardly a parallel in the history of the world.

Honor to the Second Iowa.--The following despatch from Major-Gen. Halleck, is honor enough for the Iowa Second: St. Louis, February 19, 1862. Adjutant-Gen. N. B. Baker: The Second Iowa infantry proved themselves the bravest of the brave! They had the honor of leading the column which entered Fort Donelson. H. W.

earted, and nobody wears as broad a grin as they did the day after the battle of Leesburg. Still there is a universal determination to do or die — to go down, if need be, with our harness on, warring like a brave people to the last. I passed General Wigfall on my return from dinner, and asked him if there was any news? No, said he, I don't believe we have been whipped since dinner; I expect, though, to hear of another defeat in the next five minutes. Somehow I can't help thinking of Halleck's assertion by telegraph to McClellan, that the Union flag is on the soil of Tennessee, never to be removed. This is brag, but the Yankees have up to this time stuck like leeches wherever they have effected a landing. They intrench themselves, and at the first spadeful of earth thrown up by them, our generals give right up, and say all is lost. They have attacked us repeatedly in trenches and forts, and carried the latter invariably, while we, with the exception of the St. Nicholas affai
