Rebellion Record: a Diary of American Events: Documents and Narratives, Volume 4. (ed. Frank Moore), chapter 22 (search)
The vessel is on the principle of a life-boat, in the respect of the waterproof deck; and it is believed that it will live in a sea where a common vessel would swamp. It is expected to attain a speed with her of eight knots an hour. There have been only one hundred working days since the date of the contract for this battery. There has been only one establishment engaged in turning out the immense armor-plate, that of Abbott & Son, of Baltimore. If any other establishment could have been employed in this, the work might have been completed even sooner. The manufactory of Abbott & Son has been wholly given up to this work. Other portions of the plating have been made by Messrs. Corning, Winslow & Co., and Holdane & Co. Still the rapidity with which it has been completed shows what the country is capable of, if its energies were aroused. It is stated that the speed with which the work has been carried on would have been utterly impossible in England. --N. Y. World, January 31.

April 7.--One private of the Seventh Maine seriously wounded; one of the Seventy-seventh seriously wounded. April 8.--One private wounded, Thirty-third New-York volunteers. April 11.--One corporal, Seventh Maine, killed, and one private wounded. The Forty-ninth regiment and a company of the Thirty-third New-York, the latter under command of Lieut.-Col. Corning, were much exposed to the fire of the enemy's rifle-pits while we lay in position. I regret to state that Lieut. Swan, company A, and Bugler Brown, company D, Seventh Maine volunteers, were captured by the enemy on the fifth inst., being separated from their command by a swamp while skirmishing. I desire to bring specially to the notice of the General the cheerfulness, obedience, and fortitude of the regiments of my brigade, lying as they did for fifty-four hours under the close

was English, when we altered our course, and banked fires. Our live-stock still gives us fresh provisions, and the abundant supply of Irish potatoes, that we received on board, at the same time, is beginning to have a very beneficial effect, upon the health of the crew—some scorbutic symptoms having previously appeared. Nov. 5th.—Weather fine, with the wind light from the eastward, and a smooth sea. At daylight, a sail was descried in the north-east, to which we immediately gave chase. Corning up with her, about nine A. M., we sent a boat on board of her. She proved to be the English brigantine, Rothsay, from Berbice, on the coast of Guiana, bound for Liverpool. Whilst we had been pursuing the Rothsay, a second sail had been reported. We now pursued this second sail, and, coming up with her, found her to be a French brigantine, called Le Pauvre Orphelin, from St. Pierre (in France) bound for Martinique. We had scarcely turned away from the Orphelin, before a third sail was ann

Your book, I find on inquiry, has been received by many Senators, who speak of it warmly. I hope that the publishers speak as well. I wish you were here, that I might have the advantage of your conversation and of your overflowing knowledge and sympathy, too. Daily and hourly I plead for firmness against concession in any form. Sunday evening I had a visit from Thurlow Weed and Seward. The former told me that he found himself alone. Nobody united with him. I rejoiced. Aspinwall and Corning are here for the same object. They urge that we cannot have a united North unless we make an effort for adjustment; to which I reply: We have the verdict of the people last November—that is enough. But these compromisers do not comprehend the glory of a principle. Perissent les colonies plutot qu'un principe That exclamation exalts a period which has many things to be deplored. The slave States are mad. They will all move. Nothing now but abject humiliation on the part of the North

the insurgents, the saving of the Union, the rescue of Southern Union people from the control of the disunionists, the recovery of the forts and the honor of the flag, were to be the grounds of armed invasion in the Southern States. （Blaine, Twenty Years, pp. 323, 353.) The House organized by electing Mr. Grow, speaker, defeating Mr. F. P. Blair, of Missouri. The war leaders were Stevens, Conkling, Washburne, Lovejoy, Morrill and Colfax. Opposed to them were English, Voorhees, Pendleton, Corning, Richardson, Cox, Vallandigham, and Crittenden. The message of President Lincoln related almost wholly to matters of the war then in progress. The two things uppermost for earnest consideration were the armies and the money necessary to conduct a vigorous war. Referring to the occupancy of Fort Sumter by the Federal garrison, he claimed this to be necessary in order to maintain visible possession and that the Confederate Government desired to reduce the fort for a similar reason.

New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Tennessee. And those in the negative were Connecticut, Illinois, Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts, Missouri, New York, North Carolina, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Virginia. It is but justice to say that Messrs Ruffin and Morehead, of North Carolina, and Messrs. Rives and Summers, of Virginia, two of. the five commissioners from each of these States, declared their dissent from the vote of their respective States. So, also, did Messrs. Bronson, Corning, Dodge, Wool, and Granger, five of the eleven New York commissioners, dissent from the vote of their State. On the other hand, Messrs. Meredith and Wilmot, two of the seven commissioners from Pennsylvania, dissented from the majority in voting in favor of the section. Thus would the Convention have terminated but for the interposition of Illinois. Immediately after the section had been negatived, the commissioners from that State made a motion to reconsider the vote, and this prevailed.

The Daily Dispatch: December 14, 1860., [Electronic resource], The Burch divorce case (search)
eresting scene in the Burch divorce case: When the court came into session, the little court-room was crowded to suffocation. Mr. Stuart (charged with seducing Mrs. B.) made his appearance before the call of the jury, and carelessly took a chair near Mrs. Burch's customary place, with his back to the stairs. The fact soon became known that he was present, and he was at once the centre of all eyes. In a few moments Mrs. Burch, accompanied, as usual, by her mother, Mrs. Turner, and Mr. Corning, came into the court-room. Every eye in the audience was fastened upon the pair. Even the counsel and the jury fixed their attention upon these two, the alleged paramour and the alleged victim. Every eye was riveted upon their faces, as if to read there some lesson, to discover there some index which should disclose the truth more clearly than oral witnesses or written deposition; some agitation of the frame, some blanching of the cheek, some slight shudder which should betray the secr

d jammed with the crowds eager to learn the result. At 7 o'clock a brief telegram was posted upon the bulletin board announcing a verdict for Mrs. Burch. The news was received with the wildest demonstrations of joy, and spread like wildfire through the streets. Rockets and fire-works were sent off from the Tremont House, and bonfires were soon blazing upon the street corners. At the news depots, huge placards were posted upon the windows, one of them bearing the following announcement: "Verdict in the Burch Case. Good for Du Page County. The Traitors Rebuked. Innocence Triumphant?" Mrs. Burch arrived at Chicago Tuesday morning from Napierville, accompanied by Gilbert C. Davidson, of Albany, Mr. Corning's partner. She was escorted to her friends, on Michigan Avenue, where she will remain for the present. On leaving Napierville, which is six miles from the Railroad Junction, she was escorted by all the prominent citizens to the cars, beside a long string of farmers' vehicles.
