Rebellion Record: a Diary of American Events: Poetry and Incidents., Volume 6. (ed. Frank Moore), chapter 164 (search)
A patriotic Parson.--A New-Hampshire paper publishes a letter from Lieut.-Col. Billings, Third New-Hampshire volunteers.
This officer was formerly pastor of a Unitarian church in Concord, New-Hampshire, and first entered the service as chaplain.
His former profession would seem to imply some Christian foundation of character and some of the sentiments and feelings of a gentleman.
Whether he is entitled to such a charitable construction may be judged about by the following extract from his letter:
I was authorized to order the evacuation of St. Simon's Island, Georgia, and took off ex-slaves, horses, cattle, rice, corn, etc., leaving nothing of value.
The splendid mansion once occupied by that ex-U. S. Senator and arch-rebel T. Butler King, is on this island, and we stripped it of every thing.
I write this letter on his writing-desk, which, with his piano, were presented to me on my return. --N. Y. World, Jan. 22.
