Rebellion Record: a Diary of American Events: Poetry and Incidents., Volume 7. (ed. Frank Moore), A letter from President Lincoln. (search)
A letter from President Lincoln. At the commencement of the rebellion Melancthon Smith was postmaster of the town of Rockford, Illinois, and his wife was acting as deputy-postmaster. Feeling it his duty to participate in the struggle, Mr. Smith raised a regiment, of which he was appointed Colonel, and entered service under General Grant, leaving Mrs. Smith to attend to the duties of the post-office. Colonel Smith distinguished himself on several occasions, and at the recent storming of the first redoubt at Vicksburgh, led the forlorn hope, and was shot through the head and killed. Application was then made for the appointment as postmaster of a gentleman who, under ordinary circumstances, would have been a proper person to fill the office. Counter applications to retain the widow were also sent in. The matter was brought before the President; he indorsed the application for the widow, and afterward sent a letter to the Postmaster-General, of which the following is a copy: Exe

waited The justice of the Lord. Soon, brighter than the morning fire, His stately steps are seen-- Chariots, blazing with his ire, Amongst the clouds careen! Now! Grant girds on his armor, And leads his legions forth-- For in the fray that comes to-day Jehovah's with the North! And he bids his trusty captains, That at the signal ped in line, Move gaily o'er the field, As if they know the haughty foe Is sure to fly or yield. And, rebels, now look to your works, See that your aim be true, For Grant commands those loyal bands, And this is no review. Full fierce the mighty struggle swells; Death roars from every gun, While through a flood of human blood The rify, That he did bide, all by our side, On Chattanooga's day! Let holy tears bedew the graves Of those who fell in fight; Let marble stones, above their bones, Salute the morning light; Let history write in golden books; Let bards with song enshrine; Let women chant the name of Grant, And the glory of the Line! West-Chester, Pa.

ommanders are those that a soldier will mention, Who's studied his books with delight and attention? Why, Gustavus, and Fred'rick, Charles, Blucher, and Saxe, And the like, who trod ably in Hannibal's tracks, 'Mong our own, Greene, “Mad Anthony,” Schuyler, and Lamb, And Montgomery, dead near the field of Montcalm-- That field where Wolfe died, all content as victorious-- Leaving names that are watchwords-whole nation's themes glorious. Well! who most in this war showed a spirit like theirs? Grant and Farragut truly have done their full shares; But the two, who at outset, the foremost will show Were Phil Kearny in coffin; alive, “Fighting Joe.” Do you know why true soldiers will talk “Fighting Joe,” Because he's a game-cock will fight well as crow, And like Taylor no responsibility shirk If the country would win though he lost by the work. “As well hang for a sheep as a lamb,” so he said, When the orders to back out from Richmond were read; And at Look-Out, when counted all
