A series of blunders and mismanagement. We have lost all the camp equipage, all the stores in fact, everything. It is the most disgraceful thing which has happened since the trouble began. We lost heavily yesterday, frightfully to-day. They say the Sixty-fourth is cut to pieces."
The Major raised piece of a shelter tent upon a pole. The line halted. An officer rode out from it, followed by two privates. Approaching the Major, he said, "Who is in command this force?" The Major replied: "I am." "Then, Sir, I demand your sword." "What is your rank, Sir!" "I am Adjutant of the Sixty-fourth Virginia."
I made several conventional remarks of admiration, to which he paid not the slightest attention. But I know a bait. "I suppose you claim him as a Morgan," said I. "Claim, is it!" grunted the little man, contemptuously. "Well, the Morgan is not a real breed, anyway," I persisted. "A sixty-fourth blood will get one registered. What does that amount to?" The little man grunted again.
Finally, having come to the sixty-fourth year of his age, and being assailed by a grievous and continuous fever, he died, leaving immortal fame for himself by reason of the works that he made, and through the pens of writers; and he was honourably buried in S. Croce.
There was no question about the former: the latter consisted in his being able to read and write a legible hand, which was a rare accomplishment in those days. He had saved a little money, and was allowed as a special favour to invest to the extent of eight sixty-fourth shares in the vessel he commanded.
"Affairs in Mexico," Sixty-fourth Cong., First Sess., Sen. Doc. No. 324. Martin, "Latin America and the War," pp. 13-15. In the foregoing chapters we have discussed the origin and the more important applications of the Monroe Doctrine. There remain, however, certain general aspects of the subject which require special consideration.
He served as a Representative to Congress from 1815 to 1818, and as a Senator from Lincoln county to the State Legislature from 1823 to 1826. In 1834, he moved to Lowndes county, Ala., where he died in October, 1847, in the sixty-fourth year of his age. He had seven children: 1. Eloise Forney married Gen. Jones Withers, of Mobile, Ala. Mariah Forney married Judge Moore, of Alabama,
My own regiment, the Sixty-first New York, behaved with the same fortitude and heroism, and showed the same perfect discipline and obedience to orders under trying circumstances for which I have before commended them, and which causes me to think of them with the deepest affection and admiration. The Sixty-fourth behaved steadily and bravely.
They had with them a great convoy of siege material and provisions, and these were next day escorted safely into the Alumbagh, where the little garrison had held their own, though frequently attacked, for six weeks. The Sixty-fourth Regiment had already done so much fighting that it was not to form part of the advance.
In 1384 he was struck with paralysis, and died in three days after the attack, at the age of sixty, though some say in his sixty-fourth year, probably, in spite of ecclesiastical censure, the most revered man of his day, as well as one of the ablest and most learned.
