Rebellion Record: a Diary of American Events: Poetry and Incidents., Volume 7. (ed. Frank Moore), What was found in a prayer-book. (search)
What was found in a prayer-book.
The following was found written on the fly-sheet of a prayerbook in one of the churches in Louisville:
Hurrah for John Morgan!
The Marion of the South, following his footsteps as much so as the Apostles followed the footsteps of Christ.
There shall be a Southern Confederacy, so saith the Apostle Paul.
See third verse, chapter fourth, Acts of the Apostles.
Hurrah for Jeff Davis!
and the Southern Confederacy!----the Lincoln hordes and Hessians; polluting the homes and lands of Southern men!
Hurrah for Stonewall Jackson, the Deliverer of the Southern Soil, to our Southern Brethren.

Burnside.
The Louisville Journal gives the following judgment up against the flood of abuse poured out upon him:
Burnside looks and acts like a great man; and the manner in which he has managed the affairs of this department shows him to be a statesman as well as a General.
The more we see of Burnside the more we like him. He has done much for Kentucky. His Order No. 38 has worked like a charm, and has given peace, quiet, and security to many portions of the State which have been invested by rebel sympathizers and marauders.
Previous to its publication, many parts of the State were invested by Morgan's men and other rebels, whose presence brought fear and terror, but since the enforcement there are none to be found within our lines, except a few desperate characters, who come and go secretly, to act the spy-and those are caught whenever found and executed.

Some of his men proceeded out west of the town to burn the bridges and water-tank on the railroad.
On the way out they captured a couple of persons living in the country, one of whom was a Quaker.
The Quaker strongly objected to being made a prisoner.
Secesh wanted to know if he was not strongly opposed to the South.
Thee is right, said the Quaker, I am.
Well, did you vote for Lincoln?
Thee is right; I did vote for Abraham.
Well, what are you?
Thee may naturally suppose that I am a Union man. Cannot thee let me go to my home?
Yes, yes; go and take care of the old woman, said secesh.
The other prisoner was taken along with them, but not relishing the summary manner in which the Quaker was disposed of, said: What do you let him go for?
He is a black Abolitionist.
Now, look here, I voted for Breckinridge, and have always been opposed to the war. I am opposed to f
