The Daily Dispatch: June 25, 1862., [Electronic resource], Capture by the enemy. (search)
Capture by the enemy. --Before daylight on Friday, the 20th inst., two Yankee barges, containing about thirty men, went up the Santee river to the steam pounding mill and captured the schooner Louisa and crew; with a cargo of 147 bales of cotton, the steamtug Treaty, (a small propeller boat used for towing on the Santee river,) and two lighters belonging to the mill, partly loaded with rough rice. There was one negro man in the steamtug. They then took their prizes out to the blockading captured the schooner Louisa and crew; with a cargo of 147 bales of cotton, the steamtug Treaty, (a small propeller boat used for towing on the Santee river,) and two lighters belonging to the mill, partly loaded with rough rice. There was one negro man in the steamtug. They then took their prizes out to the blockading fleet, leaving the steam mill unharmed. The Captain of the Louisa escaped by being at the residence of Mr. Tilton, about six hundred yards from the mill.--Charleston Courier.

on had been evacuated by our troops. This report, we have reason to believe, is premature, though that the exigency of the situation in South Carolina may, at some future time, demand its evacuation, is among the possibilities. A report, believed to be authentic, reached here Saturday night that the enemy's infantry had succeeded in crossing the Edis to river above Branchville, and had struck the Columbia branch railroad eight miles south of Orangeburg — a point twenty miles above Branchville. If this be true, our troops have already abandoned Branchville and fallen back to Columbia, or, at least, behind the Santee river. The Santee will form a very strong and easily-defended line, having a swampy margin and its passage being very difficult.--Columbia is situated on the right bank of this river, about one hundred and twenty miles from its mouth. From Columbia, the Santee flows in a southeast direction, and empties into the Atlantic some fifty-odd miles north of Charleston.

and on the road to Columbia. During our retreat there has been continual skirmishing with the enemy, but no general engagement. It was said here yesterday that Beauregard intended to make an attack; but we think, from present indications, it is more likely he will fall back beyond the Santee and defend the line of that river. He is said to have an adequate force for either an offensive or defensive policy, whichever he may find it expedient to adopt. Columbia is on the right bank of the Santee, about fifty miles west of north of Orangeburg. Important to deserters and other Delinquents. We would call attention to General Orders Nos. 2 and 3, issued by General Lee from the Headquarters of the Armies of the Confederate States, and addressed to soldiers absent without leave from the field, or who have left their commands to join others in which they find service more agreeable. By Order No. 2, a general amnesty is granted to all who, being improperly absent from their comma

es of Charleston shows that we have taken over four hundred and fifty pieces of ordnance, being more than double what I first reported. The lot includes eight and ten-inch columbiads, a great many thirty-two and forty two pounder rifles, some seven-inch Brook's rifles and many pieces of foreign make. We also captured eight locomotives and a great number of passenger and platform cars, all in good condition. Deserters report that the last of Hardee's army was to have crossed the Santee river yesterday, bound for Charlotte, North Caaolina, and it was feared that Sherman had already intercepted their march. It is reported on similar authority that the last of Hood's army, twelve thousand strong, passed through Augusta last Sunday, the 10th, on the way to Beauregard. Georgetown has been evacuated by the enemy, and is now in our possession. Deserters are coming in constantly.--We have over four hundred already. Q. A. Gillmore,Major-General commanding. The Heral
