The Daily Dispatch: July 23, 1861., [Electronic resource], Arrest. (search)
A gallant officer gone. --Captain D'Laguel, who was killed at Rich Mountain while standing so gallantly at his guns, was the same gentleman formerly holding the position of Lieutenant at the Fayetteville (N. C) Arsenal, under the United States Government. He was evidently a brave, high toned gentleman, and a trusson of the South.

Col. John Program. --The stand made by this gallant officer at Rich Mountain, with 300 of his comrades, against Lincoln's hordes of vandal Yankees and Virginia tories, has been compared to that made by Leonidas and his brave followers against Xerxes and his Persian hordes at the pass of Thermopolæ. The Raleigh Register, edited by John WeSyme, says: "Heroic conduct is what might have been expected from John Program. Being a native of Petersburg, we have known him from infancy, and enjoyed a close intimacy with his late lamented father, Gen. James W. Program, Better and more chivalric blood than that of John Program never coursed through the veins of any man. Col. P's military education was effected at West Point, where he graduated with the first honors. Since then he has traveled in Europe, where he had the finest opportunities of studying military affairs on the largest scale. We earnestly hope that his captivity — which was purely accidental — will be of short duratio

t it is worth: We have before us a letter from one of a business firm in this city, written at Beverly on the 16th. The writer has been following the troops, and mentions several items of particular interest in this locality. He was at Rich Mountain after the battle, and saw the wounded and suffering soldiers left there by the rebels. It was a sickening sight to see the surgeons amputating the limbs of the wounded. They took off the legs of two soldiers while I was there. Some wer L. Jackson, of Parkershurg, in the Rebel army, was killed at Cheat Mountain Pass. A gentleman who arrived yesterday from Beverly states that a young lawyer from Morgantown, named Lowry Wilson, was among the killed of the Rebel forces at Rich Mountain. He had a Colonel's commission from John Letcher, but at the time of his death he was acting as a Captain or Lieutenant. The Secession officers who recently retreated from Laurel Hill and vicinity were exceedingly honest and liberal wit

A number of our men, who were taken prisoners under Col. Pegram, at Rich Mountain, and parolee, arrived in this city, by the Central cars from Staunton, on yesterday evening.
The Daily Dispatch: July 27, 1861., [Electronic resource], Republican falsehoods. (search)
our attention to the tissue of lies which occur in an article copied into this paper yesterday morning from a Baltimore paper, and by that paper taken from that infamous sheet, the Wheeling Intelligencer. The article relates to the fight at Rich Mountain and succeeding events. We notices some of its falsehoods. It states that "Ex-Lieut. Gov. Wm. L. Jackson" "was killed at Cheat Mountain Pass."--Col. Jackson is safe with his regiment at Monterey. It states that Col. Lowry Wilson, of Morgantown, was killed at Rich Mountain Col. Wilson is now in this city. A statement made by the Black Republican editor, which our informant considers especially unjust and outrageous, is that Col. Heck had declared after his arrest that "six weeks ago he felt that he was on the wrong side." Our informant knows Col. II. well, and utterly discredits the statement. He believes him to be true and loyal to Virginia, and is confident that he never could have been induced to make such a confessi

sixteen miles, which place we came within three miles of, when we found that a very formidable blockade had been erected, which we could not pass, and, therefore, had to march back on the route we had previously come, to a road that led to the Northeast, towards St. George, in Tucker county, which we entered early in the morning. [Here I would state, in the way of parenthesis, that it was the object of General G. to form a connection with Colonels Pegram and Heck, who were stationed at Rich Mountain, and move on Cheat Mountain, via Huttonsville; but the enemy, it seems, cut us off, and got between the two commands, and had our small force almost completely surrounded.] Thus, you will see, our command, composed of four companies of cavalry, Captain Shoemaker's Danville Artillery, Colonel William B. Tallaferro's 231 Regiment, Colonel Jackson's Regiment, Colonel Fulkerson's 37th Regiment, and the Georgia Regiment, Colonel Ramsey, and a small Battalion under Colonel Hansborough, all und

the battle, the enemy crossed the river, and are now encamped and strongly entrenched at the mouth of Pocatalico; another attack is expected. They also menace us from Sissonville, where they are in possession to the number of four of five hundred, and from Walton on the Erk, supposed in an equal number. Sad reports, clouding the sunshine of our victory, reach us from Gen. Garnett. The correspondents of the Cincinnati papers up to the 16th represent a terrible Confederate defeat at Rich Mountain, the death of General Garnett, and surrender of Col. Pegram with 600 men. We await calmly the truth of the matter. L. A private letter from a member of the Richmond Blues, after detailing the circumstances of the fight on the 17th, goes on to say: Last night (17th,) at 10 o'clock we started for the enemy's camp to take them by surprise, they having from 3,000 to 4,000 men and we 1,000; but when we arrived they had slipped off to the other side of the Kanawha River and fortifi

r they are to-be found.--In Missouri, the column of Gen. McCulloch are advancing upon a retiring enemy, and the movement will continue until that able General and veteran soldier presents himself before the city of St. Louis. In Western Virginia, Gen. Wise's retrograde movement will be only temporary. He will soon be reinforced, and will be able to force the enemy eventually across the Ohio river. In Randolph county, Gen. Loring, with a strong column, will re-appear at Laurel Hill and Rich Mountain, and push the enemy back to Grafton, to Whoeling, and into Pennsylvania or Ohio. Patterson will be superseded in Jefferson county, and that column of the enemy despairing of forcing their way through Winchester, will probably go to Washington, to aid in protecting the Capital from capture. Everywhere will the movements of our armies be aggressive, and the enemy are to learn that the valor of our troops is as irresistible in assault as when standing for attack, sustained by their pot

-Three of the Southern volunteers recently arrived here died yesterday. Their names are given below. Dulce et decorum est propatria mori, yet the loss of so many "good men and true" is not the least evil that human wickedness in high places has brought on our fatherland. George H. Snoddy, a member of the 20th Regiment Virginia Volunteers, died in this city yesterday, at the house of Mr. Edward Wilson. Deceased was a native of Buckingham county, aged about 40 years. His death was caused by exposure at Rich Mountain.--The body was sent up the canal by the packet last evening, to be interred in the family burying ground. Died, also, yesterday, at the Hospital on Church Hill, of wounds received in the recent battle, Wm. R. Howell, a native of Gates county, N. C., a soldier in the 8th Regiment of N. C. State troops. Died, also, yesterday, at the St. Charles Hotel, T. J. Thompson, of the 13th Regiment of Mississippi Volunteers, of wounds received in the late engagement.
