The Daily Dispatch: January 12, 1864., [Electronic resource], Wheeler's recent expedition to Charleston, Tenn. (search)
sses in killed and wounded were comparatively small, the heaviest being in prisoners, of whom the number already mentioned, or very nearly that number, were taken in the confusion consequent upon the sudden breaking of our lines. Col. Wade, commanding 1st brigade of Kelly's division, received a flesh wound in the thigh, not of a severe nature. A few were wounded in the 9th Kentucky, and we understand a small number were also wounded in the 1st brigade. The retreat was conducted by Lieut.--Col. Griffith, both Gens. Wheeler and Kelly being forced, in order to prevent capture, to take a different road. Both rejoined the command in the retreat that night, on the road to Tunnel Hill. The following night we returned to camps, near Tunnel Hill, wearied, hungry, and exhausted, having been absent three days, during which time we had traveled upward of seventy-five miles, over roads barely possible for man or horse to pass.--The entire expedition was a failure — complete and perfect in
The Daily Dispatch: April 25, 1864., [Electronic resource], Capture of a gunboat — official Dispatch. (search)
Capture of a gunboat — official Dispatch. The following official dispatch was received at the War Department yesterday: Demopolis, Ala., April 23d. To Gen. S. Cooper: Brig. Gen. Wirt Adams, Commanding Cavalry on the Yazoo River, telegraphs me from Yazoo City, on the 22d inst., to this effect: I have the honor to report the capture of a gunboat to-day, near the city, while lying near the shore. She was attacked by a section of artillery and a detachment of sharpshooters under Col. Griffith, who drove the men from the guns and finally the crew from the boat. I removed her fine armament of eight twenty-four pounder guns and the most valuable stores, and had her burned to the water's edge. The captain and pilot are prisoners in my hands, and a number of the crew. My casualties are small. L. Polk, Lieut. General.

ave been withdrawn, a heavy force still remains in front of Petersburg, and the indications are that they have no intention of abandoning that line of operations. Their guns are yet mounted as before, except, perhaps, in some positions on the left, and their boasted mortars are still in place. Their line of battle, though somewhat withdrawn at points, is still unimpaired, and their pickets are as active as ever. The heavy rain of Monday washed a large breach in their works in the rear of Griffith's farm, (on our right,) which, up to Wednesday afternoon, they had not been able to repair. Our pickets opened a heavy fire upon that portion of the line as soon as the earth was washed away, and the Yankees gave way and fled in confusion to their main works. The sickness in Grant's army is reported to be on the increase, and hospitals have been erected at intervals on all the roads leading to City Point. After the above was written we received the press dispatch, giving an accou
