The Daily Dispatch: June 3, 1863., [Electronic resource], Disloyalty in England Outrages on the United States. (search)
ted that he and Mr. Adams will be quite able to avoid further complications with the British Government. The war feeling, quite rampant here a week ago, has blown over, and a good Federal victory would still further turn the tide in our favor else-where in England, if not in Liverpool. To day the merchants of Liverpool, with but few exceptions, are hearty sympathizers with Jeff. Davis and his navy of pirates. In no other place in England is this feeling so openly expressed. Tresholm, Frazer & Co., No. 10 Welford Place, are notoriously a rebel firm. Yet they know how to make a good thing out of their Confederate friends, for when the Confederate loan was at a premium, a few weeks ago, they prudently sold out their bonds, making as nice a speculation as ever gladdened the heart of a Wall street broker. James Spence is also a Confederate agent. Thomas Bold is a shipper of Liverpool whose name loyal Americans should learn. He it was who built the Virginia as a Confederate p

A few Jersey Princess. --The Camden Democrat says the fashionable world of Paris is moved by the rumor of an approaching marriage of the Princess Anna Murat with the young Duke de Monarchy, a scion of one of the noblest houses of France. This Princess Murat was born in Bordentown, N. J., and is the niece of "stuttering Bill Frazer," of pugilistic notoriety. Her mother was a splendid woman both in mind and body.

satisfied that it must be correct — in fact, it is given the fullest credit here. The Yankees state (Burnside's forces) that they are going to evacuate for the present, but will come back in a few weeks and occupy. East Tennessee permanently. Burnside's forces commenced their retrograde movement on the lines about Limestone yesterday (Tuesday) morning, previous to which there was some pretty heavy skirmishing. We have news from Cumberland Gap to the effect that our forces there, under Gen. Frazer, to the number of 1,500, surrendered without firing a gun. They were composed of the 64th Virginia, Col. Slemp; a Florida and a Georgia regiment. The surrender of the Gap is strongly condemned here, as it is generally thought that 1,500 men could have held it against 15,000 or 20,000, at least until reinforcements could have arrived. The enemy at last accounts had only advanced their pickets five miles this side of the Gap. As the mail train is about to leave I must close. Will write

About 3 o'clock, Tuesday evening, Col. De Cosey demanded the unconditional surrender of Gen. Frazer and command. Gen. Frazer replied under flag of truce, asking of De Cosey the number of forceGen. Frazer replied under flag of truce, asking of De Cosey the number of forces to which he was ordered to surrender. De Cosey replied near 12 o'clock at night, refusing to give the number of forces under his command, stating that it was from motives entirely disconnected with the attack upon the gap that he did so. Gen. Frazer then refused to surrender, and it was understood that the fight would open at 12 o'clock on Monday. I will state in this connection, that on Tue 12 o'clock on Wednesday, the 9th, when all was in anxious expectation for the fight to open, Gen. Frazer received from Burnside, under flag of truce, a demand for, the unconditional surrender of himself and command. Very soon after its reception, one of Gen. Frazer's aid-de-camps came in great haste down the mountain and ordered me to take down my battle flag and hoist a white flag instead the

of the fortune which he had acquired on coming of age, and he decided on devoting himself to literature as a profession. Whatever may be the delinquencies of the London Times, one great quality cannot be denied to its management. Its columns are always open to the articles of young writers whose contributions exhibit evidences of talent. In article, literary, and political efforts for that paper. Thackeray's pen found for a time profitable employment. He then became a contributor to Frazer's Magazine, for which he wrote stories and a little of almost everything. Under the pseudonym of Michael Angela Tatmarsh he produced successively "Our Wives" "The Yellow Plush Papers," "The Paris Sketchbook," "Rebecca and Rowena," "A Journey from Corehill to Cairo," "The Irish Sketchbook." "The second Funeral of Napoleon." "The Ch the Brum," &c. None of these attained any great popularity, nor did their author take any real hold of the public favor until the establishment of Punch. Here his

Thackerey. --Two mots of Thackerey, not before in print, appear in a resent number of Frazer: Being told that an acquaintance of his who was notorious for his love of beer, had sailed for India he said: "He was a good follow. Take him for half and half we shall not look upon his like again." On his introduction to one of the Harpers in New York, Thackeray had joked with him on the American contempt for copyright, and when he went into the drawing room he took a little girl, when he found playing there, onto his knee, and gazing at her with feigned wonder, said in solemn tones: "And this is a pirate's daughter!"

ommons on the 27th of May, Mr. Halyburton asked the noble lord at the head of the government whether he had received any intelligence confirming the rumored defeat of the Federate by Gen Lee. Lord Palmerston--The latest intelligence that I have seen in the papers to-day, was up to, I think, the 18th. At that time no fresh action had taken place between the armies. They were looking at each other. I have not seen the more recent accounts to which the honorable member refers. Sir W Frazer asked whether the Admiralty had any additional intelligence. Lord C Pagel — No. Encouraging from the Thunderer [From the London Times, May, 28.] The actual capture of Richmond, even if that triumph should crown Grant's desperate enterprise, will not bring the North a step nearer to the restoration of the Union or the conquest of the South. The saying of President Davis, that the war could be prolonged for twenty years, even in the State of Virginia, after Richmond had fallen, w

olicy, and while he need take no regret to himself from that account, he has certainly, in not a few instances, exhibited a want of financial skill and forecast quite unfortunate for one occupying so important a position. Nevertheless, Mr. Memminger is a man of strict integrity and spotless private character, while no man is more devoted to the South and the State of which he is a citizen than he. His successor, Mr. Trenholm, from the same State and city, is a member of the firm of Frazer, Trenholm & Col., one of the largest, (probably the very largest,) wealthiest, and most successful commercial houses in the Southern Confederacy. He comes before us with a high character for talent and sagacity, and the great success with which the affairs of his house have been conducted seems to warrant the favorable impressions of the public. It has been objected, that he is no politician and has never been connected with any party. So far from this fact being an objection, we are disp

The prisons. --Five Yankees, captured by our forces on Monday near Frazer's river, were brought to this city yesterday and committed to the Libby. With this exception, not a solitary incident of interest occurred at the Confederate and State prisons.
