J. B. Jones, A Rebel War Clerk's Diary, VI. September, 1861 (search)
VI. September, 1861 Four hundred thousand troops to be raised. want of arms. Yankees offer to sell them to us. Walker resigns. Benjamin succeeds. Col. J. A. Washington killed. assigned, temporarily, to the head of the passport office. September 1 The press and congressional critics are opening their batteries on the Secretary of War, for incompetency. He is not to blame. A month ago, Capt. Lee, son of the general, and a good engineer, was sent to the coast of North Carolina to inspect the defenses. His report was well executed; and the recommendations therein attended to with all possible expedition. It is now asserted that the garrison was deficient in ammunition. This was not the case. The position was simply not tenable under the fire of the U. S. ships of war. September 2 I voluntarily hunted up Capt. Lee's report, and prepared an article for the press based on its statements. September 3 My article on the defenses of North Carolina seems

Lee moves mysteriously. the campaign a doubtful one in its material results. horrible scene near Washington. Conscription enlarged. heavy loss at Sharpsburg.-10,000 in the hospitals here. September 1 Official dispatches from Lee, announcing a signal victory, by the blessing of God, over the combined forces of the enemy. That is glory enough for a week. When Lee says signal victory, we know exactly what it means, and we breathe freely. Our generals never modify their reports of victories. They see and know the extent of what has been done before they speak of it, and they never mislead by exaggerated accounts of successes. September 2 Winchester is evacuated! The enemy fled, and left enough ordnance stores for a campaign! It was one of their principal depots. September 3 We lament the fall of Ewell-not killed, but his le

nnets and hats. Mrs. Davis and the ladies of her household are frequently seen sitting on the front porch engaged in this employment-Ostentation cannot be attributed to them, for only a few years ago the Howells were in humble condition and accustomed to work. My wife borrowed $200 of Mr. Waterhouse, depositing $20 in gold as security-worth $260-which, with the $300 from Evans on account of rent, have been carefully applied to the purchase of sundry housekeeping articles. After the 1st September we shall cease to pay $40 per month rent on furniture, but that amount for house-rent, so that in the item of rent my expenses will be less than they were the preceding year. So far, with the exception of crockery-ware and chairs, the purchases (at auction) have been at low prices, and we have been fortunate in the time selected to provide indispensable articles. I often wonder if, in the first struggle for independence, there was as much suffering and despondency among certain clas

Bragg. peril of Gen. Rosecrans. surrender of Cumberland Gap. Rosecrans fortifying Chattanooga. Mr Seward on flag-of-truce boat. Burnside evacuating East Tennessee. the trans Mississippi army.

Whiting, urging the government by every consideration, and with all the ingenuity and eloquence of language at his command, to save Wilmington by sending reinforcements thither, else it must be inevitably lost. He says it will not do to rely upon what now seems the merest stupidity of the enemy, for they already have sufficient forces and means at their command and within reach to capture the fort and city. He has but one regiment for its defense! I saw t

Mr. Foote. attack on Fort Gilmer. indiscriminate arrest of civilians. September 1 Clear, bright, and cool. The intelligence from the North indicates that Gen. McClellan will be nominated for the Presidency. Judge Campbell, Assistant Secretary of War, shakes his head, and says he is not the right man. Our people takencoln, and that their ratification meetings will inaugurate civil war. The President has called upon the Governor of Alabama for the entire militia of the State, to be mustered into the service for the defense of the States. It is dated September 1st, and will include all exempted by the Conscription Bureau as farmers. Every farm has its exempted or detailed man under bonds to supply meat, etc. I incline to the belief that Hood has met with disaster at Atlanta. If so, every able-bodi

to support it, etc.? It seems to me that this is a weak opinion. It makes the President absolute. I fear this government in future times will be denounced as a Cabal of bandits and outlaws, making and executing the most despotic decrees. This decision will look bad in history, and will do no good at present. How could the President approve such a law? The desertions from the Tredegar Battalion and other workshops-local defense-amount to between one and two hundred since the 1st of September. November 3 Cold rain; rained all night. Gen. Lee, urging that his regiments from Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Georgia, etc. etc. be recruited from their respective States, concludes a recent letter thus: I hope immediate action will be taken upon this subject, as I think our success depends much upon a speedy increase of our armies in every possible way. This dismal weather casts a deeper gloom upon the spirits of the croakers. They fear Richmond cannot be long defende
