The Daily Dispatch: May 19, 1863., [Electronic resource], The Yankee retreat from Jackson (search)
The Yankee retreat from Jackson The Northern news published by us yesterday morning of the retreat of the Yankees under Grant from Jackson, Mississippi, is confirmed by our own Southern telegraph this morning. They left precipitately, after doing what harm they could, and of course stealing what could be conveniently carried off.--The retreat was no doubt superinduced by the movements of Gen- Johnston on the chessboard. Grant is said to have retreated towards Vicksburg. The language of Southwestern telegraphs is mysterious generally, and we do not lay much stress upon phraseology which sometimes involves consequential suggestions, for the telegrapher does not mean anything by it. It is usually a mere blundering way of stating things. We take it that Grant has simply put off upon the speediest out to the Mississippi, which is through Raymond, whence he came, and down the Big Black river, That stream lies between Jackson and Vicksburg. If he retreats to avoid Johnston's strat

The furniture in the Capitol was badly abused, and the Governor's mansion demolished. Ladies were robbed of jewelry and money. All the stores were sacked and contents destroyed; iron safes broken open; the railroad was badly torn up for several miles, and the telegraph wires torn down. About 3000 negroes from Hin is county joined the Yankees. The country was plundered generally. Damages estimated at from five to ten millions. Much destitution and suffering prevail. The enemy evacuated Friday and Saturday, retreating hastily. No serious engagement took place. The fact of the rear guard left about two o'clock, when our cavalry pickets dashed in, killed a Federal Colonel and captured two others. The Yankees captured and paroled 200 South Carolinian and Georgians They left 200 wounded at Jackson and 900 at Raymond. Grant occupied Jackson in full force. His entire army is not more than 50,000 strong. Gen. Loring on Friday out off and captured his supply trains.
The Daily Dispatch: May 19, 1863., [Electronic resource], From Jackson, Miss. (search)
From Jackson, Miss. --The Jackson correspondent of the Mobile Register writes under date of May 7th, as follows: General Pemberton is represented to express the fullest confidence in his ability to check Grant and capture the detachments which have been sent inland in order to turn the town of Vicksburg. The only thing which gives him any uneasiness is the raids on the railroads diverging into the State of Mississippi from Corinth and Grand Junction. Jackson may be visited at y — the same is the case, relatively to their population, at Caution, Meridian, and other towns; but it would be imprudent to state how many in Jackson have shouldered their muskets. Suffice it that hardly any one is backward at the call of Gov. Petius. If the worst should come, and our troops in the field back of Vicksburg be likely to be overpowered by superior numbers, Port Hudson could not evacuated and the garrison there thrown upon Grant's flank, easily restoring the equilibrium.

From the North. the retreat of Grant confirmed — Vallandigham to be sent to Dixie. Dates from the North are as late as the 15th inst. We give a summary of the nows they contain: From two to four regiments per day are now passing through Washington on their why home, their time being out. On the 14th inst.,s are confronting the rebels, and we may expect, stirring word from Southern Kentucky in a brief period. Little that is satisfactory has been received from Gen. Grant. He met the rebels, under Gen. Bowen, at Clinton, Miss., and, after a well-fought engagement; defeated and forced them back upon Jackson; but discovering that oseph E. Johnston is expected by the rebels to reach Vicksburg in time to command in the coming battle. They believe themselves competent to hold the city against Grant, but think that, it Vicksburg falls, their hopes of a Southern Confederacy are dashed forever. From West Virginia we learn that Floyd is moving forward at the

he has resigned, and the President refused to accept. And again, that he was about to be placed at the head of the army. Great excitement was produced thereby. His resignation is contradicted, and probably the rest will be. Telegrams from Grant's army to the 8th say the advance was within 15 miles of Edward's station, 18 miles east from Vicksburg on the railroad, the army being 18 miles from Grand Gulf, encamped near the Big Black river.--They had not possession of any part of the railroad between Jackson and Vicksburg. The battle at Clinton is doubtful — the last accounts state nothing about it. Grant is receiving heavy reinforcements. A new road overland has been made from Young's Point to the river below. Part of Sherman's corps had reached Grand Gulf. The military inquiry in the case of Col. Kimball show that the first statements are substantially correct. The case of Vallandigham is said to be settled by the President disapproving the sentence of the Court,
