ow-citizens shall not be continued in the army-register, or placed upon the regimental colors of the United States. A resolution of censure was immediately passed by the General Court of this State, declaring that such legislation meets the unqualified condemnation of the people of this Commonwealth. No man honored more than Mr. Sumner the bravery of the loyal troops; but, as soon as the contest ended, no man more than he desired a speedy restoration of harmony and peace: as early as May, 1862, he had introduced a similar resolution. He therefore was deeply aggrieved at the ill-advised censure of the State he represented. In this letter to his friend James Redpath, he declares his anxiety for strength to sustain his resolution:-- Washington, 25th Dec., 1872. My dear Redpath,--I wish you a merry Christmas! I regret much that I cannot take advantage of your invitation; but I am under medical treatment, with the doctor at my house twice a day, the last time to inject und
Frank Preston Stearns, Cambridge Sketches, The colored regiments. (search)
The colored regiments. The first colored regiment in the Civil War was organized by General Hunter at Beaufort, S. C., in May, 1862, without permission from the Government; and some said, perhaps unjustly, that he was removed from his command on that account. It was reorganized by General Saxton the following August, and accepted by the Secretary of War a short time afterwards. Rev. T. W. Higginson, who had led the attack on Boston Court House in the attempt to rescue Anthony Burns, was commissioned as its Colonel. In August also George L. Stearns, being aware that Senator Sumner was preparing a speech to be delivered at the Republican State convention, went to his house on Hancock Street and urged that he should advocate in it the general enlistment of colored troops; but Sumner said decisively, No, I do not consider it advisable to agitate that question until the Proclamation of Emancipation has become a fact. Then we will take another step in advance. At a town meeting

squad of cavalry came with a special written order from Major Peyton to take his two horses, which they did. This was too much for human nature; and Morford, perceiving that no faith could be placed in the assurances of those in command, determined to be revenged upon them and their cause. His house again became a secret rendezvous for Unionists; and by trusty agents he managed to send regular and valuable information to General Buell-then in command in Tennessee. At length, however, in May, 1862, he was betrayed by one in whom he had placed confidence, and arrested upon the charge of sending information to General Crittenden, at Battle Creek. He indignantly denied the charge, and declared that he could easily prove himself innocent if released for that purpose. After three days confinement, this was assented to; and Morford, knowing full well that he could not do what he had promised, made a hasty retreat and fled to the mountains, whence, some days afterward, he emerged, and we

ception it was awful, yet a relying trust in God gave him perfect confidence and peace. One of his fellow-officers remarked that the earnestness and sincerity of his ejaculatory prayers upon the battle-field convinced him that the soul of Colonel Coleman was always fixed upon the one sure hope and source of strength. We were drawn up in line of battle, says Captain Kirkpatrick, on the eastern bank of the Chickahominy, with the advancing enemy in front, on a Sabbath morning in April or May, 1862. Captain Coleman approached where I was lying, took from my hands the Bible I had been reading and turning to the Eighty-fourth Psalm read it and commented upon its beautiful verses. I can now recall the earnest, longing tones in which he repeated, How amiable are Thy tabernacles, O Lord of Hosts! My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the Lord; my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God! He drew a parallel between David's condition when he composed that psalm an

w of it; and the attendance in our company was always good. And it shall never be forgotten how grandly impressive were those meetings in the open air; a bayonet stuck in the ground for our candlestick, and speakers and hearers seated on the ground or on sticks of wood, while deep attention was generally given to the word of God and the supplications to the throne of grace. We often spent the evenings in singing hymns, until the taps gave notice to be quiet. About this time (April and May, 1862) we were constantly on the move, so that we had but very few opportunities for holding religious services, even on Sabbath. When possible, General Jackson always insisted on the chaplains taking advantage of the Sabbaths, even when we were near the enemy and were likely to be attackedas on several occasions—so anxious was he for the spiritual condition of his men. I remember several times when our service was disturbed by shells flying over us and breaking up our meeting. In one of our a

reached Newtown, distant twelve miles, at between six and seven A. M. Steuart, with his cavalry, starting from Cedarville at daylight, would have moved over his ten miles by six or seven o'clock, and the refugees would have returned to Strasburg, twelve miles, in about three and a half or four hours, or by eleven o'clock A. M. We may now proceed with our main column. As soon as ordered, the movement was instantaneous. It was eleven o'clock in the morning. Quint (Boston Traveller, May, 1862).

The two brigades of infantry were in the order of march indicated: Colonel Donelly in front, myself in rear, and General Hatch with his cavalry as rear-guard,--instructed then, but too late, to do what Banks says in his report he had ordered to be done at three A. M. Our course was directly for Winchester; the distance was eighteen miles. Fortunately for us, the day was cool and misty. We had cleared the town and reached Cedar
