Southern Historical Society Papers, Volume 31. (ed. Reverend J. William Jones), Robert Edward Lee. (search)
als if you can! In a notable speech on Robert E. Lee, which he says was inspired by the action of the Virginia Legislature in declaring the purpose to present his statue to be placed in Statuary Hall, Judge Emory Speer, a distinguished and eloquent Georgian, says: Deny Lee a place by Washington! Ah, is it sure, if in the awful hour when the invading columns approached Virginia's soil, the winds of the Prophet had breathed upon the slain that they might live, caught from the wall at Mount Vernon by the reincarnated hand of the Father of his Country, the defensive blade of Washington would not have gleamed beside the sword of Lee? Repel then not, my country, the fervid love of thy sons who fought with Lee, and of the children of their loins. Their prowess thou hast seen on the hills of Santiago, on the waters of Luzon. In thy need the children of Grant have been and are brethren in arms of the kinsmen of Lee. Officers of his thou hast called to thy service in the highest places

came to be written. Dixie, the most popular song of the South during the Civil War, was written by a Northern man, Daniel Decatur Emmett, who was born at Mount Vernon, Ohio, in 1815. Young Emmett began life as a printer, but soon afterward gave up type-setting to join a band of musicians connected with a circus company. He e joined the Dan Bryant Minstrel Company. It was during this engagement that he wrote Dixie. Years afterwards, when he was an old man living in retirement at Mount Vernon, he told his story to a newspaper reporter. The story follows: Are you Dan Emmett, who wrote Dixie? asked the reporter. Well, I have heard of the felapplause, and at once passed to the street, and then to the camp. It flew over the South on wings, and is now a universal favorite. Emmett died in 1904, at Mount Vernon. The song has been changed and paraphrased many times. The most elaborate attempt of this kind was made by General Albert Pike, of Confederate fame, who tr

estown, where it was merged, on the 28th of August, with the second column, which had come from Columbia via Creelsborough and Albany. The two others, much more numerous than the preceding, united at Chitwood's on the 26th, the one having started from Somerset under the orders of Hartsuff, and the other, under the immediate direction of Burnside, having followed, after leaving Crab Orchard, the route that was the most difficult and exposed to attacks from the enemy, that which passes by Mount Vernon, London, and Williamsburg. The infantry again set out, on the 29th, on two converging lines, and reached on the ensuing day the town of Montgomery. In the mean while, the left of the army was covered by the fifth column, composed of cavalry, which moved directly to the south of Williamsburg on Walker's Gap, and, supported by a detachment from the fourth column, occupied Jacksborough on the same day. The movements of these different columns had been executed with great precision: the inf

Leaving Point Comfort, Calvert sailed into the Po- Mar. tomac; Winthrop, i. 134. and with the pinnace ascended the stream. A cross was planted on an island, and the country claimed for Christ and for England. At about fortyseven leagues above the mouth of the river, he found the village of Piscataqua, an Indian settlement nearly opposite Mount Vernon. The chieftain of the tribe would neither bid him go nor stay; he might use his own discretion. It did not seem safe for the English to plant the first settlement so high up the river; Calvert descended the stream, examining, in his barge, the creeks and estuaries nearer the Chesapeake; he entered the river which is now called St. Mary's, and which he named St. George's; and, about four leagues from its junction with the Potomac, he anchored at the Indian town of Yoacomoco.

in wedlock. The first month of union was hardly over, when, in the House of Burgesses, the speaker, obeying the resolve of the House, publicly gave him the thanks of Virginia for his services to his country; and as the young man, taken by surprise, hesitated for words, in his attempt to reply,—Sit down, interposed the speaker; your modesty is equal to your valor, and that surpasses the power of any language I possess. After these crowded weeks, Washington, no more a soldier, retired to Mount Vernon with the experience of five years of assiduous service. Yet not the quiet of rural life by the side of the Potomac, not the sweets of conjugal love, could turn his fixed mind from the love of glory; and he revealed his passion by adorning his rooms with busts of Eugene and Marlborough, of Alexander, of Caesar, of Charles the Twelfth; and of one only among living men, the king of Prussia, whose struggles he watched with painful sympathy. Thus Washington had ever before his eyes the image

eading, not for truths pregnant with independence, but for exemption from taxes imposed without consent; promoting repeal, but beating back revolution.

This unconstitutional method of taxation, observed Washington, at Mount Vernon, of the Stamp Act, is a direful attack upon the liberties of the colonies, chap. XVII.} 1765. Sept. will be a necessary incitement to industry, and for many cogent reasons will prove ineffectual. Our courts of judicature, he added, must inevitably be shut up; and if so, the merchants of Great Britain will not be among the last to wish for its repeal.
