The Daily Dispatch: May 7, 1864., [Electronic resource], The grand movement on Richmond. (search)
we learn that a Yankee gunboat run foul of one of the torpedo sentinels in the James river yesterday morning and was blown to atoms. He says there "is hardly a piece left as big as a row-boat." The explosion occurred at Deep Bottem, near Aikin's Landing, about 12 miles below the city, and not a soul on board escaped the disaster. The movements on the Peninsula. The Yankee force which has been at West Point for a week broke up their camp on Thursday, and when last heard from were marching in the direction of Old Church, in Hanover county. They number about 4,000. It is said that Gen. Butler is with this force, though from other sources we hear that he is with Baldy Smith on the other side of the river. They have advanced up to the bridge which crosses the Chickahominy river. In King William county, the force named burned the dwellings of Col. Hill and Mr. Sanford, and ravished a negro woman, besides committing other outrages of a similar fiendish character.
