The Daily Dispatch: November 28, 1864., [Electronic resource], article 1 (search)
mpshire, occupied by Daniel Webster during the first years of his practice, is now an oyster saloon. The Fifty-fourth Massachusetts volunteers (negro) would not take a cent less than was given to white troops. They stood firm, and conquered, and the other day were paid off in full at white man's prices. The peace men of Delaware refuse to participate in the services of Thanksgiving Day because Governor Cannon, in his proclamation, instanced among the causes for thankfulness the "freeing of the slaves of Maryland and the prospects of a speedy declaration of universal freedom." Mrs. Joshua R. Giddings died at Jefferson, Ashtabula county, Ohio, on the 15th instant. A St. Louis paper says: "There are not less than 200,000 persons in Missouri this day who are little better than paupers, not knowing where to get food to maintain them through the winter." Professor Benjamin Silliman, Sr., of Howard University, a noted Abolition agitator, died on the 23d instant.

Lucy and Anne. General Henry Lee married twice; first, with Matilda, daughter of Philip Ludwell Lee, by whom he had a son (Henry) and a daughter (Lucy); and afterwards with Ann, daughter of Charles Carter, of Shirley, by whom he had three sons Charles Carter, Robert Edmund and Sidney Smith, and two daughters, Ann and Mildred. General Henry Lee resided at Stratford. Henry Lee, the son of the first wife, was a major in the war of 1812, and wrote the "Strictures on the Writings of Jefferson"; also, a Life of Napoleon Bonaparte. Sidney Smith Lee was a commodore in the old United States navy, and is now chief of the Bureau of Orders and Detail, Navy Department, in Richmond. He commanded at Drewry's Bluff for a long time. Robert Edmund Lee is at Petersburg — the General Lee of this day. He married Miss Custis, of Arlington, in Alexandria county, the daughter and heiress of George Washington Parke Custis, the adopted son of General Washington, who married Mrs. Custis, his

If we of the Confederacy perish, we shall neither perish alone nor unavenged. The fair plantations of the South, once the abodes of a cultivated and happy people, may gladden the eye of fanaticism with the spectacle of universal desolation; the productive industry, which supplied the commerce and manufactories of the world, may be helplessly paralyzed; hordes of negro barbarians may bask in the sun of our deserted fields, and the original possessors, the race which produced Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Marshall, Patrick Henry, and which has conducted this war of independence with a heroism that has amazed the world, may sleep in bloody graves. But better thus to sleep than to survive and behold the sad spectacle which will succeed their downfall.--Freedom to the negro will be no such freedom as death will bring to them from vassalage and degradation. Sleeping in soldiers' graves, but without a stain upon their shields, immortal in history and song, liberated forever from hum

the bidders to make a personal inspection. Napoleon, Palmerston, etc., might thus make a close examination of the property, including the animals, poke their fingers in their ribs, and make sure that there is no cheating. It would be a picturesque spectacle; and if the day were good, so as to allow of photographing, it would be a picture that every man present might hand down with pride and pleasure as an heirloom to his posterity. The eager crowd below and the colossal statues above — Jefferson, with his crotche's of independence; Mason, with his abstractions about rights; Patrick Henry, blathering "Give me Liberty, or give me Death!" and Washington, on his giant steed, towering over all, and marshalling a continent to freedom and glory! If such an estate and such stock would not sell, the world has become indifferent to "elegant property" and blooded animals. The breed of Eclipse, Sir. Henry, Boston, Red Eye and Planet ought to bring a high price in any market. The perfor

tish Government. It may have suited the policy of those demagogues who assailed his Administration to represent him as a sympathizer with British institutions and ideas, but there never was a more groundless calumny. If he reprobated the aggressions of France upon other States, and was ready to draw his sword in defence of his own country against similar wrongs, no one was more sensible of the debt of gratitude which America owed to France for her powerful aid in the Revolution, and not Jefferson himself was less influenced by English prepossessions.--Lord Brougham, in his eloquent eulogium of the character of Washington, says: "Towards England, whom he had only known as a tyrant, he never, even in the worst times of French turbulence at home, and injury to foreign States, would unbend from the attitude of distrust and defiance into which the conduct of her sovereign and his Parliament, not unsupported by her people, had forced him, and in which the war had left him.--Nor was

battles were gained by the British. They not only took the city of Charleston, but every other seaport, and almost every town in America. They marched through South Carolina, precisely as Sherman is doing now; they drove Marion and Sumter into the swamps; they marched into North Carolina, compelling our forefathers to fly to the Virginia woods, and then returned to Wilmington. They had every colony down; "gobbled up" Richmond and Petersburg; galloped through Charlottesville, and chased Jefferson to Carter's mountain. They held New York and other Northern cities; scattered the American armies like chaff, and considered the rebellion as crushed a hundred times. They had the most powerful empire of the world at their back; they had the aid of armed tories in every county; they excited the blacks to insurrection, and let loose the scalping-knife of the Indian upon the rebels.--With all our troubles, we have so far escaped the most terrible woe of the Revolution — neighbors fighting
