North Carolina (North Carolina, United States) (search for this): chapter 5
ith regret of Mr. Sennec and his family, who were also to run the blockade this evening. Miss Sennec is much too pretty to risk a collision with a fragment of a shell; but here no one seems to think any thing of the risk of passing through the Yankee fleet, as the runners, though often fired at, are very seldom hit or captured, and their captains are becoming more and more knowing every day. I was obliged to go to the pro vost-marshal's office to get Beauregard's pass renewed there, as North Carolina is out of his district: in doing so I very nearly missed the train. I left Wilmington at 7 A. M. The weather was very hot and oppressive, and the cars dreadfully crowded all day. The luxuries of Charleston had also spoiled me for the road, as I could no longer appreciate at their proper value the hog and hominy meals which I had been so thankful for in Texas; but I found Major Norris a very agreeable and instructive companion. We changed cars again at Weldon, where I had a terrific

appeared to rejoice in this change, as they say Foote is younger, and likely to show more sport than the venerable Dupont. 15th June, 1863 (Monday). I called on General Beaure. gard to say good-by. Before parting, he told me that his official orders, both from the Government and from the Town-Council, were, that he was to allow Charleston to be laid in ashes sooner than surrender it; the Confederates being unanimous in their determination that, whatever happened, the capital of South Carolina should never have to submit to the fate of New Orleans. But General Beauregard did not at all anticipate that such an alternative was im minent. In answer to my thanks for his kindness and courtesy, he said that the more Europeans that came to the South, the more the Southerners were pleased, as seeing was the only way to remove many prejudices. He declared every thing here was open and above board, and I really believe this is the case. Most certainly the civil law is not overruled

ted for their fighting qualities; whilst the genuine Yankees and Germans (Dutch) are not much esteemed. I have been agreeably disappointed in the climate of Tennessee, which appears quite temperate to what I had expected. 4th June, 1863 (Thursday). Colonel Richmond rode with me to the outposts, in order to be present at utenant Donnelson, of General Polk's Staff, I made this journey under more agreeable auspices than the last time. The scenery was really quite beautiful. East Tennessee is said to contain many people who are more favorable to the North than to the South, and its inhabitants are now being conscripted by the Confederates; but t I put up at the Planters'-house hotel, which seemed very luxurious to me after so many hours of the cars. But the Augusta climate is evidently much hotter than Tennessee. 7th June, 1863 (Sunday). Augusta is a city of 20,000 inhabitants; but its streets being extremely wide, and its houses low, it covers a vast space. No pl

Mrs. S-- is clever and agreeable. She is a highly patriotic Southerner; but she told me that she had stuck fast to the Union until Lincoln's proclamation caltheir superfine broadcloth is never in any danger. General Longstreet is generally a particularly taciturn man; but this evening he and I had a long talk about Texas, where he had been quartered a long time. He remembered many people whom I had met quite well, and was much amused by the description of my travels through that

had never seen any before in the South; but it seems that the winters are quite severe in Northern Virginia. I was sorry to hear in the highest quarters the gloomiest forebodings with regard to theding. It is difficult to depict and impossible to exaggerate the sufferings which this part of Virginia has undergone. But the ravages of war have not been able to destroy the beauties of nature — tld me to-day that dancing and horseracing are forbidden by the Episcopal Church in this part of Virginia. 24th June, 1863 (Wednesday). Lawley being in weak health, we determined to spend anothermy horse nearly broke down, and I was forced to get off and walk. Martinsburg and this part of Virginia are supposed to be more Unionist than Southern; however, many of the women went through the forr contribution, and making Pennsylvania support the war, instead of poor, used-up, and worn-out Virginia. The corps of Generals A. P. Hill and Longstreet are now near this place, all full of confiden
Liverpool (United Kingdom) (search for this): chapter 5
he told me it was a very peculiar fact that one of the partners of Fraser & Co. being a Frenchman, was extremely anxious to engage a French vessel in the trade. Expense was no object; the ship and the cargo were forthcoming; nothing was wanted but a French captain and a French crew (to make the ship legally French); but although any amount of money was offered as an inducement, they were not to be found, and this obstacle was insurmountable. Not the slightest difficulty is experienced at Liverpool in officering and manning any number of ships for this purpose. Major Norris went to call upon Mr. Vallandigham, whom he had escorted to Wilmington as a sort of semi-prisoner some days ago. Mr. Vallandigham was in bed. He told Major Norris that he intended to run the blockade this evening for Bermuda, from whence he should find his way to the Clifton Hotel, Canada, where he intended to publish a newspaper, and agitate Ohio across the frontier. Major Norris found him much elated by th

st time since I left Havana, I really suffered from the heat. At 10 A. M., I called on General Cooper, Adjutantgeneral to the Confederate forces, and senior general in the army. He is brother-in-law to Mr. Mason, the Southern Commissioner in London. I then called upon Mr. Benjamin, the Secretary of State, who made an appointment with me to meet him at his house at 7 P. M. The public offices are handsome stone buildings, and seem to be well arranged for business. I found at least as much dcross the Potomac; and before I left headquarters this morning, I saw Longstreet's corps beginning to follow in the same direction. 23d June, 1863 (Tuesday). Lawley and I went to inspect the site of Mr. Mason's (the Southern Commissioner in London) once pretty house — a melancholy scene. It had been charmingly situated near the outskirts of the town, and by all accounts must have been a delightful little place. When Lawley saw it seven months ago, it was then only a ruin; but since that

pted by the Confederates; but they sometimes object to this operation, and, taking to the hills and woods, commence bushwhacking there. I left Chattanooga for Atlanta at 4.30 P. M. The train was much crowded with wounded and sick soldiers returning on leave to their homes. A goodishlooking woman was pointed out to me in the cive of the female sex in the ranks. When I saw her she wore a soldier's hat and coat, but had resumed her petticoats. 6th June, 1863 (Saturday). Arrived at Atlanta at 3 A. M., and took three hours sleep at the Trouthouse hotel. After breakfasting, I started again for Augusta at 7 A. M. (174 miles); but the train had not proly part of the war, they were still harder up for percussion caps. An immense number (I forget how many) of these are now made daily in the Government factory at Atlanta. I left Augusta at 7 P. M. by train for Charleston.
