Sivu 1 - Pent in this fortress of the North, Think'st thou we will not sally forth, To spoil the spoiler as we may, And from the robber rend the prey ? Ay, by my soul ! — While on yon plain The Saxon rears one shock of grain, While of ten thousand herds there strays But one along yon river's maze, — The Gael, of plain and river heir, Shall with strong hand redeem his share. Where live the mountain Chiefs who hold That plundering Lowland field and fold Is aught but retribution true? Seek other cause 'gainst...
Sivu 61 - However much we may feel disposed to consider a matter prescribed by the constitution ill-advised or useless — however much we may be inclined to doubt the propriety of inserting into the organic, fundamental law of the state requisites of forms with regard to procedure and practice in the courts — the answer is, the people themselves, the source of all power and authority in a republican government, have spoken it, and with regard to their ipse dixit, when contained in the constitution, which...

Sivu 23 - They conducted themselves in an extremely boisterous manner while at the house, appropriating whatever they desired, as if they had killed a robber chieftain and had a right to appropriate his effects. They left me nothing, not even my clothing and pocket change. They stole my saddle, sixshooter, and other things of less note. I cannot say what was taken from the house. Helm talked in a braggadocio style to Dr. Downs...
Sivu 42 - After preparing his pipe, he dismounted from his horse and took a match, and was squatting down with one knee on the ground, and engaged in striking a match on the bottom of the boot of the other leg, when William Sutton shot him. William Sutton was sitting on his horse at the time, and I saw him as he suddenly raised his gun, and pointing it downward in the direction of William Kelly fired it off. William Kelly in his doubled up position instantly sank to the ground.
Sivu 13 - This officer was a fine specimen of physical manhood, being over six feet high, with blue eyes, light hair, full, flowing beard, and well educated. His literary intelligence was above the medium order, and he was for a long time a contributor to the columns of Bonner's New York Ledger, His articles were chiefly stories of the war, in which he figured conspicuously as a Union spy and scout.
Sivu 41 - Delilah Kelly, the mother of the prisoners, and who was in the buggy with me, ' I will go no further with you after the child ; I think, from the looks and actions of the men, that they are after doing something wrong, and I mean to see them if they do it. So I will get out here and go up on the hill...
Sivu 41 - Soon we came to an untraveled and out-of-the-way trail, that led through the black-jacks and brush timber into the country back of William Day's house. At the turning off of this trail, my husband, Henry Kelly, turned his horse on the main road that led by William Day's house, which was the main traveled road, and an open way for buggies, wagons, etc., and Mr. White said to him (Henry Kelly), ' We are not going that way ; we are going this way,' pointing in the direction of the trail.
