The Daily Dispatch: June 12, 1862., [Electronic resource], Navel reconnaissance up the Chickahominy. (search)
Navel reconnaissance up the Chickahominy. [Correspondence of the New York Hars'd.] U. S. S Stepping Stones. Barrett's Ferry, May 28, 1862. The Stepping Stones and the Island Belle have arrived thus far on their return from a reconnaissance up the Chickahominy river. We forced our way up within four miles of Jones's bridge, much higher than any vessel of greater pretensions than a rowboat has ever gone before.

Yesterday afternoon, when we returned from our reconnaissance up the Appomattox, the signal was made on board the Wachesett flagship for all commanding officers of vessels to repair on board.

This has been a day of excitement, in strange contrast with the quiet and calm and music I wrote about yesterday. The intense heat suggested the propriety of preparing to dodge a substance. Riding out early to visit Gen. D. H. Maury, at Van Dorn's headquarters we were informed his whole command had gone out at daylight to meet the enemy. We halted to listen to the artillery, and for hours "the music of its roar" resounded along our lines. During part of the morning so heavy and constant was the cannonade that some said it was worse than at Shiloh; and most exhilarating music it was — so long anticipated, so long resounding in our imaginations. And now this cannon-thunder, hitherto slumbering in stern silence, had found a voice to answer the approaching foe, and had wakened to the eloquence of action. I could only wait with an officer friend until his turn came, and I could accomp

ulsion of people whom they regard as spies. The second charge is that Mr. Soule was the author of the insolent letter sent by the late Mayor to Commodore Farragut, and is the principal supporter of the rebellion in this city. Having obtained full evidence of the above charges, the General issued the following order to Colonel French, Provost Marshal, and directed him to send one of his most competent deputies to make the arrest: Headq'rs Department of the Gulf, New Orleans.
