James Redpath, The Public Life of Captain John Brown, Chapter 11: the victory over death. (search)
d pays a noble tribute to his manly qualities. He mounted the wagon with perfect calmness. It was immediately surrounded with cavalry. This military escort of the warrior of the Lord to the scene of his last earthly victory, consisted of Captain Scott's company of cavalry, one company of Major Loring's battalion of defensibles, Captain Williams's Montpelier Guard, Captain Scott's Petersburg Greys, Company D, Captain Miller, of the Virginia Volunteers, and the Young Guard, Captain Rady; theCaptain Scott's Petersburg Greys, Company D, Captain Miller, of the Virginia Volunteers, and the Young Guard, Captain Rady; the whole under the command of Colonel T. P. August, assisted by Major Loring -the cavalry at the head and rear of the column. The wagon was drawn by two white horses. From the time of leaving jail until he mounted the gallows stairs, he wore a smile upon his countenance, and his keen eye took in every detail of the scene. There was no blenching, nor the remotest approach to cowardice nor nervousness. As he was leaving jail, when asked if he thought he could endure his fate, he said, I can e

u to Nashville myself. My company always has the advance, and there'll be plenty of chances. Making a virtue of necessity, this proposition was gladly accepted, and all started on the march. By this time Wheeler had come up and taken the lead, Forrest following in the centre, and Stearns bringing up the rear. About eight miles from Franklin the whole command encamped for the night, and our hero slept under the same blanket with Captain Forrest and his lieutenant, --a Texan ranger named Scott, whose chief amusement seemed to consist in lassoing dogs while on the march, and listening to their yelping as they were pitilessly dragged along behind him. Toward midnight, one of their spies — a Northern man, named Sharp, and formerly in the plough business at Nashville-came in from the Cumberland river. Captain Forrest introduced Newcomer to him as a man after his own heart-true as steel, and as sharp as they make 'em. The two spies became intimate at once, and Sharp belied his name b

My name is Scott, general, quietly remarked the small, plain man. Confound you! What do I care, thundered Pope, in a rising passion, if your name is Scott, or Jones, or JenkinScott, or Jones, or Jenkins, or Snooks, for the matter of that? See my adjutant, I tell you, fellow! Leave my presence! I am, continued the quiet man, in his quiet way, the Assistant Secretary of War, and- What a revolution those simple words made in the general's appearance and manner! His angry, haughty, domineering air was dispelled in a moment, and a flush of confusion passed over his altered face I beg your pardon, Mr. Scott, I had no idea whom I was addressing. Pray be seated; I shall be happy to grant you an interview at any time. Possibly a very close observer might have seen a faint, half contemptuous smile on the Secretary's lips; though he said nothing,

ublic sentiment will sustain retaliatory acts and the threat of those carries a weight which the more extravagant threat only impairs. . . . If he [General Saxton] once did a dishonorable act I should forever lose my faith in him and with it in human nature, as I once heard old Samuel Hoar say of Charles G. Loring. I wonder what saucy things little Mrs. Tillie will say to Old Abe. Do you know she can imitate perfectly her husband's handwriting?--General Hunter's, President Lincoln's, General Scott's, Mr. Seward's and even the sacred Mr. Spinner's who signs the greenbacks. I have seen them. We have lost our first officer, Lieutenant Gaston, who was accidentally shot by one of his own [men] in a little reconnaissance across the river yesterday morning. . . . To-night we had funeral services here just at dusk, and it was one [of] the most impressive funerals I ever knew. . . . Just at the beginning up rode Mrs. Lander and Mr. Page, Tribune correspondent.

and years hence! How literally and admirably did he enter into the spirit of those sayings, though possessing a most sensitive temperament! They made a deep impression upon my memory, and through all the subsequent years of my life, in all cases of trial, have been of invaluable service to me. Lloyd early evinced a taste for poetry, and was fond of works of fiction and romance. He delighted in the Waverley Novels. His favorite poets at that time were Byron, Moore, Pope, Campbell, and Scott, and, over and above all these, Mrs. Hemans, whose writings he knew by heart; and when he subsequently published a paper of his own, there was scarcely an issue which did not contain one of her poems. It was natural that in such a stronghold of the Federalists as Newburyport still was (though the party had ceased to have a national existence), and with party feeling throughout the State running so high at each annual election, he should also take an interest in politics, and, imbibing the p

cent event in the history of the Tribune occurred in November, 1852, when, on the defeat of General Scott and the annihilation of the Whig party, it ceased to be a party paper, and its editor ceasedwhen it enlisted such a man as Horace Greeley as the special and head champion of a man like General Scott. But as a partisan, what other choice had he? To use his own language, he supported Scott Scott and Graham, because, 1. They can be elected, and the others can't. 2. They are openly and thoroughly for Protection to home Industry, while the others, (judged by their supporters,) lean to Free Trade. 3. Scott and Graham are backed by the general support of those who hold with us, that government may and should do much positive good. At the same time he spat upon the (Baltimr mile for traveling (by a beeline) to and from Washington. The Tribune fought gallantly for Scott, and made no wry faces at the brogue, or any other of the peculiarities of the candidate's stump
