The Daily Dispatch: may 23, 1862., [Electronic resource], General Bull Nelson and his sick Regiment. (search)
rmed, once wrote a letter to a distinguished Southern officer, expressing his desire to take service in the Southern army; and but for the tempting bait held out to him by Lincolndom, would now be defending, instead of at tacking, Richmond. However, we would not exchange his services in his present capacity for any he could have rendered as a Confederate officer. He could have added little to a military galaxy composed of such stars of the first magnitude — such genuine stars, not mere glittering humbugs — as Johnston, Beauregard, Magruder, Smith, and a score of other old comrades of McClellan, who are proving themselves every day his masters in the art of war. In his present position he is involving the Washington Government in a load of debt which bids fair to cripple it for the next century, and every day is adding millions to the load.

[Second Dispatch] Mobile May 21. --A special dispatch to the Advertiser, from Corinth, last night, says: There was general picket skirmishing on our right and left lines. On the left, the enemy threw a number of shells without damage. On our right, several casualties occurred. Among the killed is Capt. Richards, of the 31st Mississippi. The enemy suffered much. A general engagement is expected to-morrow. Our whole army marched out this evening. Our troops are in high spirits and confident of victory. The weather is fine and pleasant. General Halleck sent two hundred Confederate prisoners having the small-pox to Fort Pillow, in exchange for Federal prisoners sent from here. General Villepelgue refused to receive them. General Beauregard sent a letter to Halleck to-day, charging him with bad faith and inhumanity. Halleck replied, denying knowledge of the fact that the man had the small-pox.
