J. B. Jones, A Rebel War Clerk's Diary, III. June, 1861 (search)
advancing through Fayette County, and might intercept railroad communication between Richmond and Chattanooga — the Secretary got me to send a telegraphic dispatch to his family to repair hither without delay, for military reasons. About this time the Secretary's health gave way again, and Major Tyler had another fit of indisposition totally disqualifying him for business. Hence I have nearly all the correspondence of the department on my hands, since Col. Bledsoe has ceased to write. June 17 To-day there was a rumor in the streets that Harper's Ferry had been evacuated by Gen. Joseph E. Johnston, and, for the first time, I heard murmurs against the government. So far, perhaps, no Executive had ever such cordial and unanimous support of the people as President Davis. I knew the motive of the evacuation, and prepared a short editorial for one of the papers, suggesting good reasons for the retrograde movement; and instancing the fact that when Napoleon's capital was surrounde

to remain unnoticed two or three days, when they required instant action. June 11-12 Gen. Smith, the New York street commissioner, had been urged as commander-in-chief. June 13 Gen. Lee is satisfied with the present posture of affairs-and McClellan has no idea of attacking us now. He don't say what he means to do himself. June 14 The wounded soldiers bless the ladies, who nurse them unceasingly. June 15 What a change! No one now dreams of the loss of the capital. June 17 It is not yet ascertained what amount of ordnance stores we gained from the battle. June 18 Lee is quietly preparing to attack McClellan. The President, who was on the battle-field, is very cheerful. June 19 To-day so many applications were made to the Secretary himself for passports to the armies, and beyond the lines of the Confederate States, that, forgetting the revocation of his former order, he sent a note into the Assistant Secretary, saying he thought a passport agen

s, absolutely embarrasses, as Gen. Whiting says, the conduct of the war. Judge Dargan, of Alabama, writes that private blockaderun-ners are ruining the country-supplying the enemy with cotton, and bringing in liquors and useless gew-gaws. June 17 The city has been gladdened by the reception of this dispatch from Gen. Lee: June 15th, 1863. his Excellency, Jefferson Davis. God has again crowned the valor of our troops with success. Early's division stormed the enemy's intrenchmente force that passed through were all cavalry, under Jenkins and Imboden, and did not exceed 2500. All was quiet at Frederick up to five o'clock this evening, though the people were greatly excited and hundreds were leaving. Harrisburg, June 17th.-The aspect of affairs, so far as can be judged by the reports from the border, seems to be this: The rebel force occupy Hagerstown and such other points as leave them free to operate either against Harrisburg or Baltimore.

e was not smart, or he would flank them. Custis sprang up and thanked him for the hint, and proceeded to put it in practice. The Examiner to-day says that Col. Dahlgren, a month before his death, was in Richmond, under an assumed name, with a passport signed by Gen. Winder, to go whithersoever he would. I think this probable. At 3 P. M. the wires cease to work between here and Petersburg, and there are many rumors. But from the direction of the wind, we cannot hear any firing. June 17 Clear and pleasant. A dispatch from Beauregard states that two assaults of the enemy yesterday, at Petersburg, were repulsed with loss; and it is reported that he recovered all lost ground to-day. Yet Beauregard has an enemy in his rear as well as in his front. When the battles were fought on the south side of the river in May, it appears that one of Gen. B.'s brigadiers (Colston) stopped some battalions on the way to Richmond, in an emergency, and this has certainly given umbr
