WASHINGTON DIARY

ernment wears a sad face which
augurs something.
Friday, July 4, 1862.
Beautiful day. No demonstrations
save the firing of salute,
There is a report that Gen. Nc
Clellan has been defeated with the
loss of $4,000 men. Driven from
Richmond by Lee and Jackson
Long lines Of wagons have been
coming in steadily, filled with
wounded men and driven by contra
bands. The dust is terrific and bad
for the poor i'll soldiers.
Sunday, July 6. 1862.
This bids fair to be another very
warm day.
The papers do not seem so SAN
guine as to the raising OF the addi-
tional troops for Gen. Mcclellan.
Thursday, July 10, 1862.
The Federal Government has con-
sented to an exchange of prisoners.
1t comes too late for poor Bob
Crawford. I went to the prison and
was allowed to see him, but he was
too i'll to recognize me.
Capt Wilkes, with a fotilla OF
boats, has been sent to the James
River.
Gen. Burnside is now at Fortress
Monroe-destinati the Peninsular.
Sunday, July 13, 1862.
I do not believe it could be any
warmer in the tropics than it is
today.
Bob Crawford died from his
wounds last evening-poor boy, he
was so young. Mr.. Pickney read the
burial service for him and every ar
rangement was made to take his
body to Fredericksburg on the 6
o'clock Aqua Creek boat, but the
captain doubted the genuineness of
the passport and refused to permit
the body to go on board. After re-
turning, and with great difficulty,
the funeral party succeeded in leav-
ing in the cars, but how distressing
and narrowing for the family and
friends of the poor boy.
1t is reported today that Gen
Morgan is marching on Louisville.
Monday, July IA, 1862.
Another warm day.
There is great activity today
amongst the orderlies and wagons
and immense droves of horses and
mules passing constantly.
We were frightened last evening
by tremendous fire on the corner
of H and Twentieth streets. 1t
started in the Government store
houses and was eXtinguished with
great difficulty.
This evening I was so interested
in reading The Life of Napoleon"
that sat up quite late and was

CHAPTER XIV.
Thursday, June 10, 1862.

A very warm day.
Anne returned from Washington
today Gen. Reno has been ordered
away and we have been endeavoring
to rerent our house, but it is almost
impossible on account of the uncer-
tainty of affairs. We will probably
return to Washington and occupy
| the house ourSelves-a most un-
pleasant prospect to me.
Anne Carmichael here today from
Fredericksburg, she brought the
gratifying news that Vic is we'll,
great favorite and still faithfully
nursing the wounded. She also told
me that Chandler was in the hos
pital in Fredericksburg, severely
wounded Poor, poor boy-and my
poor little Vic is nursing him. Is
she in love with him? I wonder.
Friday. June 27, 1862.
Washington, D. c.
Lovely day.
We arrived here safely. Tom
Green and Anne met us at the sta
ton in his carriage We drove
through crowds Of soldiers and every
church that we passed was con-
verted into a hospital.
Our own home seemed delightful
to me. The garden though neglected
is a wilderness of roses and filled
my soul with pleasure.
I found letter here from my dear
boy, dated Balwin, Miss. June 3,
1862. He was with Gen. Van Dorm
and was we'll and comfortable, which
was cheering news for me.
Sunday, June 80, 1862.
A thunderstorm last night and
drums announcing the arrival OF
more troops. Another big battle
reported just outside of Richmond.
Tuesday, July l, 1862.
Very warm.
Wounded pouring in.
1t is said that the houses of Eli
Southerners will be confiscated for
quarters for the wounded.
Last night we had reinforcements
going to the Peninsular and troops
racing about all night.
Every one belonging to the Gov

1t may be disastrous to the South
however, inasmuch as railroad ia
cilities are interrupted.
Sunday, July 20, 1862.
Still delightfully."- cool.
The neWsboys are now calling
Defeat of the rebels at Charlottes-
ville!" Can this be true?
Monday, July 21, 1862.
Warmer today.
Anne had pathetically cheerful
letter from Marshall Crawford. He
was wounded in the battle before
Richmond and since then has been
in the prison at Fort Delaware.
Anne Immediately went to see
Gen. WadsWorth to ask permission
to visit Marshall to secure medical
attention for him; also asked II he
could be released from jail on ac-
count of his wounds. Both requests
were refused.
Mr.. Barton of Fredericksburg is a
prisoner in the old Capitol here. He
is destined as a hostage for some
Union men who are in prison in
Richmond.
The Penny Post of today brought
Evening star., 1941-11-25

startled to hear our door bell ring
about II o'clock. My first thought
was "a dispatch"-was greatly re-
lieved when our little black maid
Elvira, ushered in a handsome young
Federal officer in a captains uni
form.
He said with a pleasant smile
Dear madam, hope thai you will
forgive me for intruding upon you
at such a late hour, but I feel sure
that you will when I tell you that
I am the bearer of a letter for you
from your charming daughter in
Fredericksburg" I suppose that ]
beamed for he Immediately sat down
We had a glass of sherry together
and most interesting talk, but he
declined to tell me his name with
many apologies, saying it might
cause trouble for others, no doubt
he risked a court martial himself.
I may be wrong but I have an
idea that when Vic nursed this
charming young officer he promptly
fell in love with her.
Wednesday, July 16, 1862.
Beautiful morning, but promises
to be another warm day.
Col Brooke of the Federal Army
called today. Strongly advised us
to leave the city, said 1t was not
safe for women alone, especially
Southerners. I should leave with
great reluctance, as war news is
authentic and reaches me quicker
than elsewhere.
The Star of last evening said that
Van Dorm had recaptured Baton
Rouge-LindSay must have been in
the engagement as he was with Gen
Van Dorm when I last heard
1t was said that fourteen thousand
men were taken prisoners, also mill
tary stores and wagons of supplies
captured
Rumored that battle is expected
at Warrenton some time today.
Friday, July 1S. 1862.
Rained last night, still raining.
A letter from Cousin Maria Clark.
Her brother is prisoner at the Rip
Raps. She is desperately unhappy
about him. Wished me to see the
Secretary Of War, but my influence,
which was always one of friendship,
is thing of the past.
Gen. Pope has taken Gordons-
vile!
Saturday, July 19, 1862.
Delightfully."- cool after the rain
yesterday.
Newsboys are calling The capture
of Gordonsville by Gen. Pope-a
Great Victory" A deserted village

me a letter from my dear Vic. Poor
Chandler died last Thursday eve
ming. I feel as If I had lost a SON
and Vic-who knows?
Saturday, July rs, 1862.
Pleasant day.
At 4 o'clock this afternoon Mr.
Barton came to see me. He had
been released from prison on parole
and will go with Mrs. Bruno, his
daughter, to Baltimore. He gave us
graphic and terrible accounts of the
conditions in the prison.
Tom Greene came to tell us that
Evening star., 1941-11-25

Gen. Jackson is on the move with
10000 men.
When that young man moves let
the world beware!
Tuesday, July 20, 1862.
Cool morning.
The papers report that Gen. Price
has taken st. Louis, and that Gen.
Mcclellan has advanced two miles
from his former position. I call
that rather slow. When Gen. Jack
son advances he covers more ground.
