The Daily Dispatch: January 25, 1864., [Electronic resource], Confederate States Congress. (search)
the fixed determination of our people never to lay down their arms while our soil is exposed to the hostile tread and barbarous ravages of our malignant enemies. A resolution of inquiry was submitted by Mr. Conrad in relation to a contract for beef entered into by Capt. A. B. Magruder, at Lincolnton, N. C., in December, 1862, to supply the troops under Gen. Whiting, at Wilmington, and subsequently disapproved by the Commissary General. The object of the resolution was to ascertain what loss the Government has sustained by such disapproval, and whether it was proper. The bill to conscribe free negroes and slaves as teamsters, and in other capacities, to increase the efficiency of the army was taken from the calendar for consideration. Mr. Baldwin moved to amend the 1st section so that no free negro engaged in the production of food and forage should be taken; and pending its consideration the hour for the special order arrived, and the House went into secret session.
