Southern Historical Society Papers, Volume 29. (ed. Reverend J. William Jones), How Virginia supplied Maryland with arms. (search)
How Virginia supplied Maryland with arms. John W. Garrett's advice. Wanted Virginia army to Occupy Baltimore, but General Lee refused. Major McDonald's reminiscences. Major E. H. McDonald, of Charlestown, W. Va., contributes to the sun some war history never before published, and which will prove interesting to Marylanders, particularly Baltimoreans. Major McDonald is a gentleman of high standing, and is now extensively engaged in farming and stock raising in Jefferson county. Hhe war would have been fought there. Lee's caution may have lost Maryland from the list of Confederate States, but from within her borders came many of the bravest men who followed the fortunes of the South. Her best blood stood in the forefront of most of the battles of the Army of Northern Virginia. In numbers she may not have furnished her quota, but in heroism and self-denial they were peerless among the troops that followed the colors of the South. E. H. Mcdonald. Charlestown, W. Va.

es. The newspaper (Republican and Argus), had an enormous sale, and was the delight of the Southern element, which all the more offended and exasperated the other side, and the authorities. Finally, one afternoon, as the paper was about to go to press, a detachment of soldiers, under an officer, with orders, arrested the editor and his two partners, destroyed or appropriated the newspaper property, and on that same day hurried the three prisoners, via the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, to Charlestown, Va., whence they were sent into the Confederate lines and warned not to return, under pain of being treated as spies. This outrage occurred in September, 1863, one month before Lieutenant Richardson was so terribly wounded. Editor Richardson returned to Baltimore at the close of the war and lived to a ripe old age, greatly respected, and honored with public office; indeed, was a distinguished citizen, always. Many there are who see in all this something like retributive fate. And o

by a large influence in the Northern States and was aided with money and supplies. Several citizens were killed in this dastardly outrage, as were also members of Brown's party. No negroes of the neighborhood came to his assistance, and it is a pitiable commentary that the first person killed by his men was a negro, an employe of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. Brown was promptly captured and brought to trial with several of his followers, all of whom were convicted and executed at Charlestown, Va. Prominent and principally instrumental in his capture was Lieutenant-Colonel Robert E. Lee, in command of a body of United States marines, who was assisted by Lieutenant J. E. B. Stuart. The connection with this event of these officers, afterwards so distinguished in the war between the States, is worthy of note. This action of a deluded fanatic, who paid the penalty of an infamous crime by a justly merited death, was the logical outcome of the teachings of the abolition party. It
Southern Historical Society Papers, Volume 33. (ed. Reverend J. William Jones), John Yates Beall, gallant soldier (search)
Y. Beall was captured in December, 1864, while on a raid to release Federal prisoners en route to Fort Warren. He was kept in close confinement for more than one year, and when the Confederate cause was nearing dissolution, General Dix appointed a drum-head court-martial to condemn Captain Beal to death. James T. Brady, of New York, counsel for defense, served his client faithfully; but drum-head court-martials sit to condemn, and not to do justice. Judge Daniel B. Lucas, of Charlestown, West Virginia, the late James L. McClure and Albert Ritchie, of Baltimore, were all college mates of Captain Beall, and they were untiring in their efforts to secure a fair trial for Captain Beall; but it was of no avail. Secretary Seward's edict had gone forth that Beall must hang. Mrs. John I. Sittings and Mrs. Basil B. Gordon, of Baltimore, interceded in behalf of the heroic Beall. Numbers of Congressmen signed a petition for Beall's pardon, but President Lincoln turned a deaf ear to all a

The Baltimore Exchange, of Friday, says: A messenger arrived here yesterday from the Mayor of Charlestown, Va., to Mr. Garrett, the President of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, instructed to demand guarantees from him that no troops should be permitted to pass over the main stem, and that no munitions of war should be suffered to be removed from the arsenal at Harper's Ferry. If these guarantees were not given, the messenger was authorized to state to Mr. Garrett that the bridge at Harper's Ferry would at once be blown up.
