I compelled the enemy to destroy large and valuable stores at Beverly...
Halaman 41 - To my great regret, I find that enemies of the United States continue to carry on a system of hostilities prohibited by the laws of war among belligerent nations, and, of course, far more wicked and intolerable when directed against loyal citizens engaged in the defence of the common government of all. Individuals and marauding parties are pursuing a guerrilla warfare, — firing upon sentinels and pickets, burning bridges, insulting, injuring, and even killing citizens because of their Union sentiments,...

Halaman 41 - May 26th, 1861, will be strictly maintained. Your houses, families, property and all your rights will be religiously respected. We are enemies to none but armed rebels and those voluntarily giving them aid. All officers of this army will be held responsible for the most prompt and vigorous action in repressing disorder and punishing aggression by those under their command.

Halaman 41 - He reaffirmed the promises of his former proclamation, adding: " Your houses, families, property and all your rights will be religiously respected." He denounced upon guerrillas and marauders the severest penalties of military law. To the soldiers of his Army he issued an order enjoining good conduct, and inspiriting them for the work before them. " We have come here," he said,
Halaman 145 - I am very ignorant, but I can make it up by study. I know I have the energy, and I think I have the intellect.
Halaman 77 - The people now remaining iu the northwest are, to all intents and purposes, a conquered people. Their spirit is broken by tyranny where they are true to our cause, and those who are against us are the blackesthearted, most despicable villains upon the continent.
