The Daily Dispatch: November 14, 1862., [Electronic resource], From Northern Virginia. (search)
From Northern Virginia. We have nothing from the army which we are Exposed to regard as entirely reliable. There were a number of reports in circulation yesterday, but how well founded they may be we are unable to decide. One report says that Gen. Jackson had a fight with the enemy at Snicker's Gap on Monday, in which he defeated them, and occupied that point. If this be true, an important position has been gained and which may being about a general engagement much sooner than has been anticipated. With the exception of one, this is the lowest gap in the Mas Ridge Mountains on the Virginia side of the Potomac and is about 29 miles above Harper's Ferry. The turnpike read from Winchester to Leesburg, and on to Alexandros, passes through this gap. It was stated some days ago in the northern papers that it had been occupied by the enemy.

Old Fuss is, indeed, the most unfortunate of men in his paper wars, however he may have succeeded in wars of another description. His admirers claim for him that, like Marlborough, he never drew his sword but to conquer. His detractors assert that he never took up his pen but to be vanquished — It makes but little difference who his secretary may be, whether General Jackson or Secretary Marcy, whether Jeff.
