Rebellion Record: a Diary of American Events: Poetry and Incidents., Volume 1. (ed. Frank Moore), chapter 168 (search)
April 21.--A rumor having reached Virginia to the effect that Lieut.-Gen. Scott was about to resign his commission as General-in-Chief of the United States Army, Judge Robinson, an old personal friend and classmate of his, came to Washington, from Richmond, to offer him a commission as Commander-in-Chief of the forces of the Confederate States. On learning the purport of Judge R.'s errand, Gen. Scott interrupted him with a declaration that if he went any further in making such a proposition to him, he (Judge R.) would not be permitted to get back to Richmond; adding, that having sworn to support the Constitution of the United States, he realized all the honorable obligations of that oath, and should of course observe them.--N. Y. Times, April 25.
