McClellan (search for this): article 1
the mouse which it has brought forth, and has drawn conclusions more fatal to their reputation than if they had lost a hundred battles. The beautiful weather, reaching into the very heart of winter, has invited them to some on, but its allurements have proved too weak for their discretion. The convulsive attempt at Leesburg, which-resulted in more terrific destruction, in proportion to the numbers engaged, than the battle of Manassas, or almost any battle on record, could not provoke McClellan to retrieve the eclipse which had come upon his sun in the very act of amarging from the horizon. With everything in the machinery of war that any General could desire, the steam for propelling the massive mechanism was wanting, and it still lies stranded, like some huge hulk, on the shores of the Potomac. But, incentive as it is towards its enemies, it has been a huge millstone around the neck of its friends. It has eaten out the very vitals of the Treasury and bankrupted the Yankee na
July 21st (search for this): article 1
Results of the battle of Manassas. Six months ago last Tuesday the great battle of Manassas was fought. If we may regret that it was not followed up by the capture of Washington, which would have fallen into our hands without resistance, it is some consolation to reflect that the memorable Southern victory of the 21st July administered a blow to the enemy from which they have not recovered to this day. It has been productive of results such as have rarely flowed from a single great victory in the outset of a war. Who could imagine any great European power, boasting the immense resources of the North in men and munitions, which after one great defeat could not be able to take the field again in six months? It is true that the United States have since organized an immense army, numbering, they pretend, two hundred thousand in Washington, and six hundred thousand in all, thoroughly drilled and disciplined, and provided with an enormous amount and endless variety of warlike weapons

But, incentive as it is towards its enemies, it has been a huge millstone around the neck of its friends. It has eaten out the very vitals of the Treasury and bankrupted the Yankee nation. The battle of Manassas has thus demoralized the United States in both purse and honor; and, if we have patience and perseverance, will yet compel it to succumb to the manifest destiny of the establishment of Southern independence. Its effect upon the world at large has been equally great and remark

It seems that our army, under command of Major-General Crittenden, attended by Brigadier-General Zollicoffer, marched forth from its entrenchments and attacked the enemy fortified in a strong position on the other side of a stream of water. The fight seems to have been severe for some time, the enemy acknowledging seventy-five killed in a single one of his regiments. But at an evil moment General Zollicoffer was shot down, and then our forces lost all confidence, fell into disorder, and fled. It is quite plain that they relied upon General Zollicoffer in the fight, and that when he fGeneral Zollicoffer in the fight, and that when he fell, they would put no trust in his superior in command, General Crittenden, and gave up the contest.

Rouse (search for this): article 1
The Defat in Kentucky --Let it Rouse the South from its Lethargy. The defeat which we have sustained in Kentucky is a misfortune to be deplored; but which may be repaired, and, indeed, improved to our advantage. The particulars of the battle are as yet too meagre to warrant a safe conclusion as to its causes.

A few artillery, one or two competent engineer officers, and another Brigadier-General in whom the troops have confidanger resulting from this defeat is the possibility that the enemy may be able to reach the railroad at some point near Knoxville, and cut off our communications with the Mississippi Valley. The imminence of this danger is fully appreciated by the is of his advance along the route of our own discomfited army, and of his reaching the railroad in the neighborhood of Knoxville; but this danger may be very easily guarded against. Unfortunate as this defeat is at this juncture, it may result

Timberlake (search for this): article 1
Called Court. --A man named James P. Neagle was examined by Aldermen Caskie, Sanxay, Timberlake, Bray, and Anderson, sitting as a court of examination (in the Sergeant's office) in the City Hall, at 11 o'clock yesterday.

Mason, with intent to main, disable, disfigure and kill her. The court having heard the evidence were unanimously of opinion that the accused should be tried before Judge Lyons for the offence with which he stood charged. The defendant was admitted to bail in $500 for his appearance, Jas. P. Cavido becoming his surety.
