James Redpath, The Public Life of Captain John Brown, Book 1: he keepeth the sheep. (search)

ough an earnest people, looked with suspicion and distrust on the equally earnest Crusaders. Singular that the preachers of the word should only half welcome the actors of it! Both are noble, and needed, and God-commissioned; but the greatest of the Heralds, I think, was not worthy to untie the latchet of John Brown's shoes. John Brown and Anthony Burns. In the course of the partnership of Perkins and Brown, a lawsuit arose, which is thus described by a correspondent at Vernon, near Utica: During the years 1852, 1853, and 1854, Mr. Brown was one of the firm of Perkins & Brown, doing a large wool trade, buying and selling, in Ohio, New York, and Massachusetts. The sale of a large quantity of wool to parties in Troy, N. Y., brought on a lawsuit between Perkins & Brown and those parties. Mr. Brown's counsel resided in Vernon, and he was here many times during those years. He prosecuted that suit with all the vigor and pertinacity which he is said to have since displayed

J. William Jones, Christ in the camp, or religion in Lee's army, Appendix: letters from our army workers. (search)

, I am aware that this letter is a very poor and indifferent account of the religious standing of my old brigade. Maybe, however, that you can get something out of it. I baptized about two hundred while I was in the army, two years, but nearly half of them were men of other brigades than my own, and converted under the ministry of other men. The Lord bless you in your good work, Yours fraternally, J. J. D. Renfroe. From Captain M. M. Jones, united States army. city of Utica, New York, January 29, 1867. J. Wm. Jones: Dear Sir: Being a subscriber to the Richmond Religious Herald, I read your card of the 17th instant, and for some reason hardly describable am disposed to write you. I have a notion that a religious history of your Army Northern Virginia will be a highly interesting and useful book. My personal intercourse with the men (a few of them) who composed that army impressed my mind with the fact that religious interests were much better and more general

ow avail but thorough measures. Liberty or Death! This is a fair specimen of the indomitable, indefatigable spirit which was born of the attempt to put Abolitionism down by lawlessness and violence. Indeed, the Broad-Cloth mob, viewed in the light of the important consequences which followed it, was equal to a hundred anti-slavery meetings, or a dozen issues of the Liberator. It is a curious and remarkable circumstance that, on the very day of the Boston mob, there occurred one in Utica, N. Y., which was followed by somewhat similar results. An anti-slavery convention was attacked and broken up by a mob of gentlemen of property and standing in the community, under the active leadership of a member of Congress. Here there was an apparent defeat for the Abolitionists, but the consequences which followed the outrage proved it a blessing in disguise. For the cause made many gains thereby, and conspicuously among them was Gerrit Smith, ever afterward one of its most eloquent and

elphia and Baltimore to Washington. The events of this journey are graphically told by members of the regiment. Colonel Beckwith's is the most explicit, and before quoting from his diary of this and future events, a sketch of his previous army experiences is almost a necessity. At the age of fifteen he went to Albany and enlisted in the 91st N. Y. Infantry, and with them went to Florida where he was unable to endure the climate, and was discharged for disability. Returning to his home in Utica, he so recovered his health that he determined to re-enlist, and after visiting several recruiting stations decided to enter the 121st. He was made a corporal in Company B. He has entitled the story of his war experiences, Three Years with the Colors of a Fighting Regiment in the Army of the Potomac, by a Private Soldier. Passing over the very interesting account of his previous experiences I quote from his journal, beginning at the departure from Camp Schuyler. My life in camp at Camp Sc

in turn sent it to the New York papers as an item of news. The irascible secretary was offended and recalled the appointment at once. Whether Stanton and Dana met again at that time, or what passed between them in regard to the incident, has never been stated. Dana certainly had a right to regard himself as badly treated, but without wasting time to set matters right, he returned to New York, where he entered into partnership with George W. Chadwick, of that city, and Roscoe Conkling, of Utica, for the purpose of buying cotton in such parts of the Mississippi Valley as had been occupied by our armies. The strictness of the Atlantic blockade had brought about a great scarcity of cotton in England, and the state of war along the border of the cotton States had cut off the supply of our own mills. There was a great outcry, in consequence of which the government had adopted the policy of allowing the trade in this staple to be carried on through the military lines. As there had alr

e public attention, if not always of the public approval. Greeley's own energy was tireless, his editorial contributions averaging three columns a day. There was no valuable news that he was afraid to print, nothing evil in his view that he was afraid to combat. The transcendentalists of the Boston Dial, to which Emerson and Margaret Fuller contributed, had a hearing in his columns, and the doings of a Millerite convention found publication. Greeley himself reported a celebrated trial at Utica, sending in from four to nine columns a day. He aroused a warm discussion by characterizing the whole moral atmosphere of the theater as unwholesome, and refusing to urge his readers to attend dramatic performances, as we would be expected to if we were to solicit and profit by its advertising patronage. Greeley always considered the stage inimical to many of his pet reforms. He remembered a song that he heard in a theater in derision of temperance, and a ridiculing of socialism by John
