R. D. Sanxay (search for this): article 1
Man killed by a sentinel. --An inquest was held yesterday by Coroner R. D. Sanxay, near Camp Lee, over the body of George Mylor, a private in the Whittington Light Artillery, stationed near the above camp, who was shot by private Stewart, of Captain Maule's company, City Battalion, on Monday night, at an early hour, while he (Stewart) was guard at the wood depot, on the Fredericksburg Railroad, nearly opposite the Old Fair Grounds. The testimony elicited the following facts: On Monday night the deceased had left camp without permission, and visited the city for a spree, in company with a comrade. In returning, he first stopped in the shop of a shoemaker named Ratcliffe, on Broad street, and asked for whiskey; but getting none, he slyly took possession of a pair of shoes, and, with his companion, left. Upon arriving at the depot, he went up to the sentinel and attempted to take his gun from him, but without success. The sentinel then warned him to let him alone and pass

ng none, he slyly took possession of a pair of shoes, and, with his companion, left. Upon arriving at the depot, he went up to the sentinel and attempted to take his gun from him, but without success. The sentinel then warned him to let him alone and pass on, but the fellow made a second attempt, but again failing, he withdrew a few steps and seemed to be drawing a pistol, when the sentinel lifted his gun and fired, the bullet taking effect in his right shoulder and killing him almost instantly. His companion, who was standing near, fled precipitately. A Lieutenant of the Whittington Artillery testified that the deceased was a most desperate character — the dread of the men. It was believed, also, that he was a Yankee deserter. He has a family in Cincinnati, Ohio. The shoes stolen from Ratcliffe were found on his feet. The jury returned a verdict that the deceased came to his death by a gun-shot wound, at the hands of Stewart, a sentinel, in the discharge of his duty.

Operations on the Mississippi river. Port Hudson, Dec. 14. --On the afternoon of the 12th inst, the Yankee gunboat Essex and a wooden boat, name unknown, anchored out of range of the lower battery. Capt. McLane's company of cavalry crossed the river in the night, and hired a negro to hail the Essex. The hall was promptly answered, and a small boat was sent ashore, when the cavalry fired, killing and wounding two of the Abolitionists. Last night, Capt. Boone, with his company of light artillery, crossed the river, took a position opposite the wooden boat, and at dawn opened a brisk fire on her, which was answered by her and the Essex. The engagement lasted two hours, when the wooden boat retired behind the Essex for protection, and both proceed I down the river.--The enemy fired in all one hundred and ten shots. Capt. Boone fired twenty-five, twenty of which took effect; some passing through the enemy's boat. The enemy's loss is not known. We had one private slightly

Burnside "Changing his Base." Burnside is imitating McClellan. He has already "changed his base" --that is to say, he has made a precipitate retreat. Our victory of Saturday must have been a tremendous one? It seems to have sickened him thoroughly. He has changed his base. The Yankee can change his base, but he cannot change his base nature. What now becomes of the comparison made by the correspondent of the New York Times, and republished by us yesterday morning? We were told to depend upon it that "the rebel leaders are sensible of all the weakness as well as of all the strength of their position at Fredericksburg, and you may in a little time expect to learn that they have taken advantage of the opportunity before the operations of Gen. Burnside are fully developed to retreat ere retreat is rendered perilous or impossible." It seems, however, that the retreating has been done, not by the rebels, but by the Yankees.

Burnside has had his Resting, and he has withdrawn. Will he try to have his Wagram still? We shall see. The great probability is that he has gone down to his gunboats, and that he will try to make his way across the country-from Port Royal. If so, he will have a lively time of it this winter, crossing rivers and wading morasses, with a powerful army in front of him. We hope he has resolved upon that operation. We wish to see that army utterly destroyed, and the road to destruction lies clear before it. Let them "push along, keep moving," say we with all our heart.
