The Daily Dispatch: March 18, 1862., [Electronic resource], Slaughtering Weman and children. (search)
Slaughtering Weman and children.
The shalling by Burnside's fleet, without notices, of a town full of women and children, and even of boats which were bearing that helpless class from the town, is a fine illustration of the humane disposition and Christian character so vauntingly set forth by himself and his brother pirate, Commodore Goldsborough, in their late hypocritical proclamation.
It is in keeping with the whole conduct of the enemy from the beginning of the war. From St. Louis to Newbern tells the same tale of slaughtered Innocents.
None but savages carry on war in this style.
It makes the blood run cold to think of such atrocities perpetrated by people professing to be Christian and civilized — a people with whom we were lately in union, and who adopt such means to make as love and come back to their benign and sacred fellowship.
