Gettysburg (Pennsylvania, United States) (search for this): chapter 5.51
Notes and Queries. did General L. A. Armistead fight on the Federal side at First Manassas? General Abner Doubleday, in his Chancellorsville and Gettysburg (page 195), says: Armistead was shot down by the side of the gun he had taken. It is said he had fought on our side in the first battle of Bull Run, but had been seduced by Southern affiliations to join in the rebellion, and now dying in the effort to extend the area of slavery over the free States, he saw with a clearer vision that he had been engaged in an unholy cause, and said to one of our officers, who leaned over him: Tell General Hancock I have wronged him, and have wronged my country.

But the man who could grave

We have no doubt that the soldiers on the other side of the Potomac really rejoice that the South has so frequently put into places of honor the men who fought for her, as much as they detest the general custom of the North to pass by her soldiers and honor instead those who were invisible in war and are now invincible in peace.

ring the awful days of 1864, related to the writer hereof, who visited the place a year and a half ago that the horrors of the stockade had incited the people of Americus, twenty miles south of Andersonville, to pity; that they bought and contributed a few carloads of provisions and sent them to the dying men; that the rebel scoundrels refused these generous people the pleasure of relieving the suffering soldiers, and forced them to take their laden cars back to Americus unopened. Jeff Davis's rebel Surgeon-General reported to Jeff Davis's rabble in session at Richmond that the unutterable woe he found at Andersonville should be ameliorated, and that the over this ground, or she will step on Jeff Davis and the inhuman workers of iniquity who brought the cruel rebellion upon us. We respectfully ask citizens of Americus to tell if they ever carried provisions to prisoners at Andersonville which they were not allowed to distribute? And we ask Judge Ould to tell us what he know

It was on his farm that the battle of Bull Run was fought, and General Lee surrendered in his house at Appomattox, to which he had moved with his family, in order to be free from the annoyances of the war. Did the Confederate Authorities ever Refuse any Proposition to Mitigate the Sufferings of Prisoners? The Michigan Post and Tribune makes the recent speech of President Davis in New Orleans the occasion of a vile attack upon him, and among other slanders prints the following, which we only reproduce in order to brand it as false in every particular, and to ask our readers to turn again to the abundant proofs we have given that the Confederate authorities never refused a proposition looking to the amelioration of the condition of prisoners.
