Commander in Chief Givens on Twitter at CiC@CiCSCV st Thursday, November 1 : 7:00 pm La Madeleine Restaurant 3906 Lemmon Ave near Oak Lawn, Dallas, TX *we meet in the private meeting room. All meetings are open to the public and guests are welcome. Commander’s Report Gentlemen, Howdy ya'll and the holidays are coming fast! First off we have officer nominations with Kevin Newsom & myself for the position of Commander. Stan Hudson has been re-nominated for Adjutant and Mark Brown as 2nd Lt. Commander. Our chaplain position is appointed by the Commander and will remain as Jerry Brown in that position. Voting on all offices will take place at our November meeting leaving our December meeting (at Stan's house) to be a 100% social event. We're still in the planning stages for the Lee-Jackson dinner with any suggestions for an alternate place to Arthur's being reviewed at this time. So please let your voice be heard via e-mail or attend a meeting if you have grand ideas for any of these aforementioned events. See ya'll at the next meeting. Best regards respectfully, Cdr. Paul Hamilton Lt. Commander’s report Friends of the Confederation, November will be an action-packed month for Belo Camp Dallas. Our next meeting will feature Denne Sweeney, past Commander-In-Chief of the SCV, as special guest speaker. Commander Sweeney will discuss his time as CIC of the SCV, and describe the various changes that occurred during his tenure. It's quite an honor to have a past CIC in the meeting hall, and we at Belo Camp look forward to hearing what Mr. Sweeney has to say. Everyone who would like to attend is welcome! Belo Camp will also be holding our elections at the November meeting. The election process harkens back to the days when our ancestors in the Confederate armed forces voted for their officers. It's a special honor to maintain that feature of being a Confederate soldier. We look forward to sharing the results with you. We will also be finalizing our plans for the annual Lee-Jackson dinner in January 2013, so stay tuned. Finally, I will be going to Austin on Saturday, October 27, to the Texas Supreme Court Building. While there, I will be flagging and raising awareness of the Confederate Plaque issue and the SCV. For those who don't know, the State of Texas removed the Confederate Plaques from the Supreme Court Building circa the year 2000 due to political correctness. What the State refuses to admit is that the Supreme Court complex was built by using money the State set aside for Confederate veterans. We will be there to call out the State on their hypocrisy and wake people up to what is going on here and around the South. I call on any able-bodied man or woman to meet me at the steps of the Supreme Court Building in Austin at 3:30 pm Saturday for a peaceful vigil. Raising awareness of our struggle will not happen from the couch. I call on any and all who read this to get up, get active, and join me as I work to educate the people of Texas about what is happening to our history. Feel free to contact me using the information below for further details. Deo Vindice Kevin Newsom Lt. Commander Belo Camp 49 Dallas Texas SCV 214-422-1778 [email protected] Chaplain’s Corner Moving Forward! If the aim of this world is global destruction and extermination of the human race, then it seems to be moving forward. If is the aim of this country is to become socialistic, Marxist, communistic, or despotic, then it would seem to be moving forward. If it is the aim of the South is to lose it's individual identity and proud heritage, then it would seem to be moving forward. If it is the aim of the church to become a social club and entertainment center, then it appears to be moving forward also. So perhaps progress is inevitable, but it is progress in reverse. Instead of creating a euphoria, we are contriving a madhouse. The good news is that more and more people, especially in this country, are saying, "Enough is enough, and I've had enough." People in this country are getting tired of being pushed around and they're beginning to meet, march, and speak out. The crowd in Washington wants to control the country and they know it will take time, because people don't want to be controlled. But, they are moving forward. The Sons of Confederate Veterans have an aim also. Our aim is defined in the Charge given to us in 1906 by General S.D. Lee. It may at times seem that we are losing ground, that we are being undone by the enemies of truth, that those who wish to destroy us are winning the struggle, however it is we who are moving forward. With God's help and guidance, with the strong and competent leadership we have, with dedicated members who are committed to honoring our Confederate forefathers and the Cause for which they fought, we are moving forward. But there is one kind of forward movement that is sure. The eternal purpose of God moves on. Perhaps there has never been a time so dark, dismal, and desolate, but amid all the wreckage of civilization today God's program is running on schedule. He will arrive where He is going on time and according to plan. In 2 Peter 3:7 we read, "But the heavens and earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men." Then in Revelation 21: 1, God's Word says, "And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away." Yes, God has an aim, and He has a place prepared for you and me, and all His saints. (Jn. 14:1-3) And we can be sure, His purpose will be completed. His will will be done. His promises will be fulfilled. We can be sure, God is moving forward. Bro. Len Patterson, Th.D Chaplain, Army of Trans-Mississippi Sons of Confederate Veterans A CONFEDERATE SOLDIER'S PRAYER Author Unknown, (Attributed to a battle weary C.S.A soldier near the end of the war) I asked God for strength, that I might achieve; I was made weak, that I might learn humbly to obey. I asked for health, that I might do greater things; I was given infirmity, that I might do better things. I asked for riches, that I might be happy; I was given poverty, that I might be wise. I asked for power, that I might have the praise of men; “IN ALL MY PERPLEXITIES AND I was given weakness, that I might feel the need of God. I asked for all things, that I might enjoy life; DISTRESSES, THE BIBLE HAS NEVER I was given life, that I might enjoy all things. FAILED TO GIVE ME LIGHT AND I got nothing that I asked for, but everything I hoped for. STRENGTH.” Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered. I am among all men most richly blessed. -GENERAL ROBERT E.

  • James Buchanan, Paraguay, and the Water Witch Incident of 1855 Gene Allen Smith and Larry Bartlett
    “A Most Unprovoked, Unwarrantable, and Dastardly Attack”: James Buchanan, Paraguay, and the Water Witch Incident of 1855 Gene Allen Smith and Larry Bartlett En 1853 la marine américaine a envoyé un petit vapeur pour explorer le fleuve de la Plata en Amérique du Sud. Sans diplomate à bord, le commandant de ce bâtiment s'est trouvé pris au piège dans la politique locale et internationale, ayant pour résultat final en 1855 une attaque paraguayenne contre son navire. Le Président James Buchanan, espérant désamorcer la crise sécessionnelle américaine croissante, a expédié la force navale la plus importante jamais montée par le gouvernement des États-Unis dans les années d'avant-guerre civile; il a voulu unir tous les américains contre un ennemi commun. Malheureusement, l'expédition paraguayenne a failli obtenir un tel nationalisme, et le pays a chuté rapidement vers la guerre civile, et l'épisode du Water Witch s'est trouvée passée sous silence. Quartermaster Samuel Chaney, aboard the small wooden U.S. steamer Water Witch, did not realize as the morning dawned on 1 February 1855 that he had fewer than nine hours to live. For two years, Chaney and the vessel had been exploring the Paraná River and its tributaries, making astronomical, weather, and magnetic observations while also collecting geological, zoological, botanical, and mineralogical specimens. The scientific expedition also had commercial overtones that rippled the diplomatic waters of the remote region. At approximately two o’clock that afternoon, as the Water Witch navigated the shallow, difficult channels around Caraya Island, the guns of a Paraguayan fort opened fire on the American naval vessel, mortally wounding Chaney and seriously damaging the small ship.

Copyright, J 910, BY Mrs. VIRGINIA ARMISTEAD GARBER, Richmond, Va. ; PREFACE. 1134333 RECORD of the editor's branch of the Armistead family A was begun in the summer of 1903, at the request of an elder brother, who came to Virginia for the purpose of collecting family data for his large family living in distant South- ern States. Mrs. Sallie Nelson Robins, of the Virginia Historical Society, started the ball in motion when preparing his paper to join the Virginia Sons of the American Revolution. From this, the work has grown till the editor sends "The Armistead Family'' to press, in sheer desperation at the endless chain she has started powerless to gather up the broken links that seem to spring up like dragon's teeth in her path. She feels that an explanation is due, for the biographical notes, detail descriptions, and traditions introduced in her own line; which was written when the record V^ was intended solely for her family. Therefore, she craves in- \ \ dulgence for this personal element. Dr. Lyon G. Tyler's Armistead research in the William and Mary Quarterly is the backbone of the work, the use of which has been graciously accorded the editor. She is also indebted to Mr.
