The Daily Dispatch: August 28, 1863., [Electronic resource], Loss of a Confederate Cotton steamer. (search)
two boats that escaped with their crews arrived at Kilkenny. Major E. C. Anderson, Jr., commanding the post, kindly received them.--The whole garrison were unceasing in their efforts to make comfortable Lieut. Johnston and his crew, who had had nothing to cat from the time they abandoned the Sconce until they arrived at Kilkenny. The cargo of the Oconee was valued at $75,000 and the steamer at $50,000, all owned by the Confederate Government. The Oconee, before the war, was a first-class passenger and freight steamer, in the trade between Charleston, Savannah, and Fernandina, and was under the command of Capt. L. M. Goxetter. Upon the breaking out of the war she was sold to the Confederate Government, and her name was changed to the Savannah. She was the flag-ship of Commodore Tatnall. Subsequently her name was changed to the Oconee. A correspondent writing to this paper from Savannah says that Edwin Gill, of Richmond, the Chief Engineer of the Oconce, was killed.
