The Daily Dispatch: December 5, 1861., [Electronic resource], Mr. Russell's last letters to the London times. (search)
n frequently named in the journals as men of notoriously intemperate habitue--one being occasionally seen "drunk in the gutter." It is not wonderful, if such statements be true that the New York Times should have to say of such affairs as Edwards's Ferry, that "the retreat was made after the Bull Run pattern, with slight improvements, the men rolling, sliding, and almost turning somersaults down hill, to escape the galling fire which now assailed them from all points." I am assured that the Massachusetts regiment behaved well, but that Tammany was not quite so becomingly represented. As to the courage of the Confederates all agree. They were seen to form a line and come into action under fire with great steadiness. If their finances were as sound as their fighting, there would be immense chances on the side of the Southerners; but Mr. Memminger's scheme of cotton bonds is tumbling, an eruption or small paper covers the States, and a forced loan of ready money is in the distance.
