The Daily Dispatch: August 28, 1861., [Electronic resource], One hundred and Fifty Dollars reward. (search)
Confederates would come down on them. It would be such fun to have them chased from under our very noses. All this is, as you may imagine, very uncomfortable, as the roads are full of soldiers, and some of them are very impertinent; and in town it is no better. Ladies are never seen on the streets now. I can only say how long! how long! Report says they have mined the fort, and I know they are throwing up embankments in the road by Vaucluse — I suppose, of course, we know all about this however. I would give everything to be away from these horrible wretches. The only friends I have seen were three of our men who came in with a flag of truce-- Lieutenant Edmonson, and privates Meek and McChesney. Several saw them before, but when I met them in the road, and thought they were prisoners, it almost broke my heart. The officers at the seminary where they were staying were kind enough to allow us to send them refreshments, an opportunity which I assure you we availed ourselves of.
