George Bancroft, History of the United States from the Discovery of the American Continent, Vol. 4, 15th edition., Chapter 18: (search)
neers of Carolina, General Amherst, early in 1761, sent a regiment and two companies of light infantry, under Lieutenant-Colonel James Grant, the same who, in 1758, had been shamefully beaten near Pittsburg. The province added to the regular forces ne, where the Cherokee fire seemed heaviest; but Middleton sent opportune relief, which secured the baggage. Happily for Grant, the Cherokees were in great need of ammunition. Of the white men, ten were killed and forty badly wounded; to save the Gadsden and Middleton, Moultrie and Marion, were trained to arms. At Pittsburg, the Virginians, as all agreed, had saved Grant from utter ruin; the Carolinians believed his return from their western country was due to provincial courage. The Scott arrogance with scorn, Middleton challenged his superior officer, and they met. The challenge was generally censured; for Grant had come to defend their frontiers; but all the province took part in the indignant excitement, and its longcherished aff

that New York was grandly illuminated to celebrate the capture of New Orleans, which feat, it was reported, had been accomplished without firing a gun. A meeting was held in Selma last week to consider the propriety of establishing a Chamber of Commerce in that city. The preliminary steps necessary for such an organization were taken. A project is on among some of the wealthy citizens of New Orleans to build a fleet of iron-clad vessels. The subscription proposed is $2,000,000. This sum, it is supposed, will put afloat ten efficient vessels. C. I. A. F. Rendricks, one of the most prominent and enterprising citizens of Russell, died at his residence in that county on Saturday, the 19th ult. The County Court of Washington, Virginia, on Monday, appropriated $5,000 for the benefit of her volunteers, which makes the county's subscription $20,000. Jas. Grant was shot in an affair with Capt. D. S. Dickinson, at Les Canpt-House, on Wednesday, . He died instantly.

Stuart. L. T. Bryan A. A. G. The Washington Republican complains that Mrs. Faulkner, wife of the late Minister to France, (now in the rebel army) is daily receiving courtesies from Federal officers at Martinsburg, and often acts the part of medium to communicate with the rebel authorities. Lincoln has indefinitely postponed the expedition to colonize free persons of color. The Times says a combined attack on Vicksburg may be looked for daily; for it will be impossible for Grant to leave the men and vessels of the Yazoo expedition where they now are. It was probably intended that all the movements were to be simultaneous. Siegel's difficulties have been adjusted, and he will probably withdraw his resignation and return to his command.

From Tennessee. Knoxville March 28 --The report of the capture of the Federal Gene all Carter's brigade by Humphrey Marshall is not confirmed. The Register has received the following dispatch: "Wartrace, March 27.--There is daily skirmishing on the Shelbyville pike. The enemy's videttes are four and a half rises from Murfreesboro', and their pickets are at Stone's river. It is believed that the enemy is moving a heavy force on our left flank, in the direction of Columbia. The object is doubtless to form a connection with Grant, and thus cause the Confederates to fall back to Bridgeport. The enemy are devastating the country, burning fences, killing stock, forcing off negroes and stealing generally. A train ran off the track between this point and Shelbyville. No lives lost."

military head in the United States on his tall shoulders.--But though his plan be ever so good, subjugation is by no means certain, for there must be a hand to execute as well as a head to design; and, even with both, the spirit of the country must be subdued before, in such a territory as ours, subjugation is possible. To General Scott, a son of Virginia, belongs the unenviable glory of every efficient movement which the Federal armies have made for the conquest of his native country. Grant, Sherman & Co., who are the prominent actors in the scene, are but the tools with which the designs of the old chieftain are carried out. They are getting great names, but are no more entitled to the honor, if they accomplish their work, than masons and carpenters to the credit of some grand architectural conception which their hands have simply embodied in stone and wood. We recognize in Wingfield Scott, of Virginia, the military master spirit of the Federal War, and are willing he shall e

The War news. The Richmond and Petersburg lines. Nothing of interest has occurred on these lines. On the north side, all is quiet. Grant's army in front of Petersburg has, for several days, been in some commotion, which is thought to indicate that he is either sending off troops to North Carolina or preparing to make another move against the Southside railroad. From North Carolina--Sherman's movements. The New York Times says that Sherman was to meet Schofield at Goldsboro' on the 21st instant, that is, last Tuesday. Though it is probable that Sherman was late in reaching the trysting place, intelligence received through the Raleigh papers goes to show that he has set out in that direction. The Raleigh Confederate of Thursday says that, on the evening and night of the 20th, Sherman moved from Bentonsville towards Goldsboro'. The distance from Bentonsville to Goldsboro' is about twenty miles. Referring to affairs after the battle of Bentonsville, the Confeder
