This entry come from the Memphis Daily Appeal, October 27, 1861
. . . .many of the predictions made by Nostradamus . . . have been completely verified, they are generally discredited in our times. But in the Prophecies of Vatcinations, of that great man, vol. 2d (edition of 1609) we find the following:
"About that time (1861) a great quarrel and contest will arise in a country beyond the seas (America). Many poor devils will be hung, and many poor wretches killed . . .. The war will not cease for four years, at which none should be astonished or surprised, for there will be no want of hatred and obstinacy in it. At the end of that time, prostrate and almost ruined, the people will embrace each other in great joy and love."
The period of four years . . . comprise the exact term of Lincoln's administration. At the close, a new era, it seems, will commence of harmony and peace. Well, if we are to go through this fiery ordeal we must make up our minds to bear up manfully through the conflict, and acquit ourselves like men. . . .
