The Daily Dispatch: January 29, 1864., [Electronic resource], Re-enlisting for the War in General Lee's army. (search)
Three days later. We are indebted to the officers of the Exchange Bureau for a copy of the New York Herald, of Tuesday last, the 26th inst. We give a summary of the news contained: Congressional. On Monday the proceedings were monopolized by Mr. Sumner's resolution for making Senator Bayard, of Delaware, take the oath. It was passed — ayes 27, noes 11. The Committee on the Judiciary were discharged from the consideration of the resolutions of Mr. Davis, and also from the consideration of the resolution to expel Mr. Davis. Mr. Sumner presented a bill to amend the act of July, 1863 prescribing an oath of office. This was referred. In the House of Representatives, on the same day, a resolution instructing the Military Committee to report a bill providing for an increase of pay to the soldiers of the army was referred to the Committee on Military Affairs. The bill reviving the grade of lieutenant general, to be bestowed upon major generals most distinguished for cou

is not altogether free from the imputation of vanity, I should say, from the number of times he looks at the galleries while speaking, with an air of "How do you like it? --Wouldn't my opponent be better off if he hadn't said anything ?" Mr. Bayard--Mr. Bayard is about twenty years older than his colleague, a very pretty figure, rather inclined to corpulency.

His hair is quite gray, and what little there is of it is parted in the middle. Time has furrowed his face quite deeply.--He speaks with very little animation, and at times there is considerable of a whine in his utterance. He was recently re-elected to the Senate, and it now devolves upon him to take the oath, or be expelled from that body. He will take the oath, though not with much relish. Mr. Sumner.--Mr Sumner's personal appearance has been so often described that I will not make one of my poor attempts to convey to the reader an idea of how this eminent statesman and scholar looks on the floor of the Senate.

Miscellaneous In the Yankee Senate, on the 26th ult., Messrs Bayard, of Delaware, and Richardson, of Illinois, took the oath required by the resolution adopted the day previous. Subsequently, Mr. Bayard resigned his seat in the Senate. Dispatches from Chattanooga state that General Johnston's army has fMr. Bayard resigned his seat in the Senate. Dispatches from Chattanooga state that General Johnston's army has fallen back from Dalton to Kingston, forty miles south of Dalton. It is reported that John Morgan, with seven regiments of cavalry, will make a raid into Kentucky through the gaps in the eastern part of the State. It is officially ascertained that the whole number of troops enlisted for actual service since the month of October, is one hundred thousand.

to live under one Government again, though that Government has its capital at Richmond, and is administered under the Constitution adopted at Montgomery.--The idea that the Potomac and Ohio can permanently divide us seems to these good people an absolute impossibility. The peace Democracy number amongst them many men of ability and prominence. Chief Justice Taney, ex-President Pierce, Mr. Vallandigham, ex-Gov. Seymour, of Connecticut; Charles O'Connor; ex-Senator Bright, of Indiana; ex-Senator Bayard, of Delaware; ex-Senator Pugh, of Ohio; Fernando Wood, Wm. B. Reed, of Pennsylvania; W. W. Eaton of Connecticut; Robert C. Winthrop, John McKeon, of New York, and Senator Wall, of New Jersey, may be mentioned.

the presence of death — it finds food for gratification in the very honors which are paid to those whom the Yankees are pleased to extol as heroes. Is there a Southern woman so lost to propriety, so destitute of modesty, so entirely divested of that delicacy which should characterize the true lady, as to append her name to an offering so sacred as this ought to have been, upon an occasion so solemn? We trust not. When that gallant warrior — the Murat of the Confederate army, the hero, like Bayard, "without fear and without reproach,"--the great, the glorious, the dearly loved Stuart — lay in his coffin, the lid of that coffin bore the representation of a sword worked in flowers. It was evidently done by fair hands, but there was no inscription and no card attached to it. She who did it thought not of the fame she might acquire by the offering. Her thoughts were of him who lay within the narrow enclosure which formed the last resting place of the mighty dead — of his bravery, of hi

the lives of his men, fertile in resource, a profound tactician, gifted with the swift intuition which enables a commander to discern the purpose of his enemy, and the power of rapid combination, which enables him to oppose to it a prompt resistance; modest, frugal, self-denying, void of arrogance or self-assertion; trusting nothing to chance; among men, noble as the noblest in the lofty dignity of the Christian gentleman; among patriots, less self-seeking, and as pure as Washington; and among soldiers, combining the religious simplicity of Havelock with the genius of Napoleon, the heroism of Bayard and Sidney, and the untiring, never-faltering duty of Washington. "If this great soldier had at his command the forces and material against which he is called on to contend — the superiority on land and the supremacy on water — in six months the whole Federal States would be prostrated at his feet. As it is, he has made his own name, and that of the Confederacy he serves, immorta
