Robert Underwood Johnson, Clarence Clough Buell, Battles and Leaders of the Civil War. Volume 4., The Confederate cruisers. (search)
e Confederate Government early recognized that in order to attack the commerce of the United States with any hope of success it must procure cruisers abroad. For this purpose it sent several agents to Europe. The foremost of these was Captain James D. Bulloch, of the Confederate navy, who arrived in England and established himself at Liverpool in June, 1861. Having satisfied himself as to the scope and bearing of the neutrality laws, he lost no time in closing a contract with the firm of Fawcett & Preston, engine builders, of Liverpool, for a screw gun-vessel. The steamer was named the Oreto, and it was announced that she was being built for a firm at Palermo; presumably for the Italian Government. She was a duplicate of the gun-vessels of the English navy. The construction of the vessel proceeded without interruption during the fall and winter of 1861-62. The American Minister, Mr. Charles Francis Adams, twice called the attention of the Foreign Office to her suspected charact

youth and a very pleasing speaker, frank and witty, evidently a great favorite and very independent. He said once that he thought the majority should govern, which was applauded. I should say he has a future before him, though they say both families bitterly opposed the marriage . . . . I was called on late and introduced as from the United States and very warmly received; could not go on for some time. An evening meeting of Woman Suffrage in London—really good and sensible speaking—Mrs. Fawcett, Miss Beeker, and others, several members of Parliament, but no one of rank as at other meetings . . . . I was asked for the 3rd time to make or second the vote of thanks to the chairman—an inevitable English formality; and I spoke briefly. I am struck, he wrote, with the multiplicity of societies and movements here for all sorts of odd things. For instance I have just got a note from a total stranger, inviting me to the platform of a meeting of the society to resist compulsory<

d a postscript, saying that herself and her daughter were stanch Northerners. It was a surprise and grief to Sumner to see English opinion run so strongly against us. As he had expected more from this source than others, his sense of disappointment was greater than theirs; and the England of his youth was never the same England to him again. Saddest of all was the cold shoulder of scholars and philanthropists. Among those in our favor were Goldwin Smith, Thomas Hughes, Mill, Huxley, Fawcett, R. M. Miles, and F. W. Newman. R. M. Milnes wrote to C. J. MacCarty, Jan. 20, 1862: I am in a minority of two or three, the House of Commons and society being all Southern; and to George von Bunsen, Feb. 6, 1862: Parliament meets to-day, with no great prospect of change of any kind. The feeling about America is intensely Southern, and I with my Northern sympathies remain in greater isolation than ever. Lord Houghton's Life, vol. II. pp. 76, 77.

We reached her in good time, however. Found her alone, in a pleasant little dwelling. Three ladies came to tea, which was served quite in state — Stepniak Sergius Stepniak, a Russian author, then a political exile living in England. came also. July 9. To lunch with Lady Henry Somerset. Some talk with Lady H. about Mrs. Fawcett, et al.: also concerning Mrs. Martin's intended candidacy for the presidency of the United States, which, however futile in itself, we deplore as tending to throw ridicule upon the Woman's Cause. She thought that the Conservatives would give women the Parliamentary Suffrage in England on account of the great number of women who have joined the Primrose League. July 10. To the Temple Church.

Steel rifled Cannon. --We saw yesterday, near the Central railroad depot, awaiting transportation, two steel 12-pounders, rifled. The mark on each shows where they came from--"Blakely's Patent — Fawcett, Preston & Co., makers — Liverpool, 1861." These little dogs of war very recently arrived on this continen
