The Daily Dispatch: May 15, 1862., [Electronic resource], For hire. (search)
enemy's boats reached the city, but in the blunders, or treachery, or lack of zeal in the cause, which induced the fall of the forts and kept unworked the other means to block the advance to the face of the city. But it is almost with tears that I allude to the subject at all. I have no heart to dwell on the painful subject. I think, however, that you may rest assured that the present calm of the population is not of despair.--Sixty days the city may be cursed by this foe, but I think not longer, unless disaster follow disaster as for the past months, and no hope shall be left of sweeping the enemy, except Yellow Jack, whose presence hundreds of the true citizens invoke morning, noon and night. Anything than the presence of the enemy — anything but to feel that the citizens are watched, have no use of their tongues, and may be at any moment scourged or imprisoned, or their property destroyed. It is a most painful position to any one with a spark of true manhood in his bosom.
