Charles A. Brockmeye (search for this): article 1
--Several audacious robberies have been perpetrated in Richmond within the last two days. A sick soldier was robbed yesterday of all his money, by ruffians who met him on the Dock, and another man of the same class was robbed in broad day light, yesterday near the Georgia Hospital, in the lower part of the city, by three men, who first enticed him into a vacant lot and then knocked him down and denuded him of every cent he possessed. At a quarter to ten o'clock on Thursday night, Mr. Charles A. Brockmeye was accosted by three soldiers near John W. Frayser's store, on Seventeenth street, knocked down, choked, and robbed of a valuable hunting case gold watch and chain. One of the ruffians said, "Take him!" when another seized him around the neck, another around the leg, and the third completed the operation by pulling his watch from his person, leaving only the hook that secured it to his vest. One of the men put his foot on the face of Mr. B. and the concussion made a hole in his h

One of the men put his foot on the face of Mr. B. and the concussion made a hole in his head. The noise alarmed a German woman living near by, who came to her door and raised an alarm, when the rascals walked off. Brockmeyer being prostrated from the effects of the attack, was assisted into the store of Mr. Frayser, who, after restoring him to some degree of consciousness, conveyed him home. No watchman or other guardian of the night appeared on the scene of action during the enactment of the above proceeding. Mr. B. had over $200 in notes in his pockets, but the robbers did not stop to get it. Where were the watch?

es of the enemy were withdrawn. We heard of the casualties resulting from the engagements and the above is all that we were able to learn with reference to it at the office of the Adjutant General. Late last evening we had an interview with Dr. Lumpkin, who witnessed the engagement, which was confined entirely to artillery. We sustained no loss, but several of the enemy are known to have been killed. Another fight is anticipated this morning. The news of the enemy's repulse at Drury's Bluff is represented to have had a most depressing effect at the North, and the injuries sustained by their gunboats, by their own confession, is much more serious than we had any idea of. The success of our battery on that occasion will probably prevent another attempt to reach Richmond by the river route, and if McClellan penetrates the country much further by , he will perhaps flad that there are obstructions no less formidable than those which turned the course of the Federal gunboats.

A considerable sense of relief was experienced, however, when about 9 o'clock it was ascertained that the report was without foundation, and the mill train, which had been detained till that h t, left for Staunton. We are assured by those who have favorable opportunities of obtaining information, that such is the disposition of our troops along the line of this road that he tears are felt for its safety. The train passed through safely and we learn was heard from in good time at Hanover junction. In the afternoon, a brisk engagement occurred about seven miles from Richmond, and about three miles from what is known as the head of Mechanicville turnpike. The forces engaged on our side were one regiment of infantry and two pieces of artillery, against three regiments of the enemy.

The unusual elevation of the rebel battery and the difficulty of gunboats getting the proper range, the latter were for a time unable to do execution. In the meantime the rebel battery poured an incessant fire of shot and shell upon the decks of the gunboats, and did a fearful work. The body of M. Boernan, gunner of the Galena, was carried to Fortress Monroe for interment. Seward and Welles visited Norfolk on Friday. Col. Brown, of the 20th Indiana regiment, stationed at Portsmouth, went out of town to take a ride. An hour afterwards his horse returned wounded and riderless.

The fight at Drury's Bluff.Northern account.a serious Defeat Admitted.Bursting of a Parrot gun.the Galena riddled by shot.other boats Damaged.from Norfolk and Portsmouth.Trading Propensities of the Yankees, &c. Petersburg, May 23. --Late Northern papers received here contain some interesting news. The repulse of the gunboats at Drury's Bluff had a most depressing effect in New York and Philadelphia. It was regarded as a very serious affair at Old Point, but no full account was allowed to be made public Seventeen men were killed on the Saugatuck by the explosion of a hundred pound Parrot gun.--The boat was made useless and withdrawn from the fight. The Gatena was riddled by shots from the rebel batteries Eighteen went through her decks and sides. Fourteen of the crew were killed and thirteen wounded. The killed were terribly cut and mangled — many beyond the hope of recognition. The Monitor maintained its reputation for superior strength and invulnerability. The b
