Synopsis

Excerpt from A Narrative of the Leading Incidents of the Organization of the First Popular Movement in Virginia in 1865: To Re-Establish Peaceful Relations Between the Northern and Southern States, and of the Subsequent Efforts of the "Committee of Nine," in 1869, to Secure the Restoration of Virginia to the Union

Notices were accordingly issued, inviting the people to assemble at the time and place above mentioned to give formal expression to their sentiments on the grave questions to be submitted for their consideration. These notices were widely circulated by means Of special messengers sent to all parts of the county during the week preceding the day appointed for the meeting; and on Sunday, the day before it was to be held, it naturally became the topic of con versation among the people at their homes, on the highways, and at their respective places of public worship. In this way the purpose to hold the meeting and its Objects became known to almost every man in the county, and to many in adjacent counties.

Among those who thus became acquainted with the purpose of the people of Augusta to hold the meeting on the 8th of May, and the subjects to be considered by it, was Governor William Smith. After he had been obliged to leave Richmond, before its formal evacuation, he had sought refuge in a secluded part of Rockbridge county. On learning the facts above stated, and doubtless inﬂuenced by a patriotic sense Of official duty, he rode to Staunton, a distance of twenty-five miles or more, where he arrived about noon on Sun day, 7th May. Soon after his arrival, he sent invitations to a number Of gentlemen who had been most active in getting up the mass meeting, requesting them to call on him at his hotel at 3 O'clock P. M. For conference.

Product Description

Excerpt from A Narrative of the Leading Incidents of the Organization of the First Popular Movement in Virginia in 1865: To Re-Establish Peaceful Relations Between the Northern and Southern States, and of the Subsequent Efforts of the "Committee of Nine," in 1869, to Secure the Restoration of Virginia to the Union Several years ago the Virginia Historical Society adopted a resolution, of which the following is a copy: Resolved, That the Hon. A. H. H. Stuart be requested to prepare for this Society a history of the events of 1869, which led to a restoration of this State to its place in the Union, in which he himself bore so distinguished a part. An official copy of this resolution was sent to me, to which I replied, expressing my willingness to comply with the request of the Society at as early a day as might be practicable, and at once I proceeded to collect such papers as I thought would be necessary to enable me to do so. But, unfortunately, sickness and other causes compelled me to postpone the fulfillment of my promise to a future day. Time having brought improved health and spirits, I now venture to enter on the performance of the task so long delayed. In the outset, I wish it to be distinctly understood that I do not propose to write a full history of all that occurred in connection with the "events of 1869" referred to in the resolution of the Society. I have not the material necessary for such a history. Doubtless many things were said and done by others looking to the same end, of which I had no knowledge. All that I propose to do in this paper is to give a narrative of the leading facts and incidents relating to the subject, so far as I was personally connected with or had cognizance of them, accompanied by such papers as may be necessary to verify and explain them. As I shall speak mainly of matters in which I was an actor or witness, it will readily be conceded that my statement should be made in the first person singular. About the Publisher Forgotten
