The Daily Dispatch: March 13, 1862., [Electronic resource], One hundred and twenty-five Dollars reward. (search)
er of company F, Clarborn Guard, 2nd Louisiana Regiment, by the name of James Sheridan, was murdered by a member of the same company, named Willson by stabbing him in the collar-bone. He expired about five minutes after he was stabbed. The murderer was found ensconced, in about two hours afterwards, in a free woman's house in Pocahontas, about two hundred yards from the place the man was murdered, and arrested by officers Peterson and Ledbetter, and conveyed to jail. This occurrence and the news from Norfolk, has created the wildest excitement in our city. The powder mill is nearly completed, and will be in full operation in two or three weeks. The militia have been enrolled, numbering about 1,000, one-half of which, I suppose, are capable of performing active duty. Several new companies are being organized in this city for the war. T. Jay. [The foregoing letter should have reached us two days ago. We are unable to account for the delay.--Editors Dispatch.]
The Daily Dispatch: may 27, 1862., [Electronic resource], From Petersburg. (search)
groes, Bonner and Temple, were tried and convicted of an attempt to commit a rape on a white girl, some three months ago. The former was sentenced to the penitentiary for twenty years, (he ought to have been hung,) and the latter for five years. The Court will meet to-morrow, when several criminal cases will be tried, among them Mr. Kershaw, for the murder of Lavelle, near two years ago. At an election in the Petersburg City Guard, on Friday, Corporal Wiley Branch was elected Junior Second Lieutenant, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the promotion of Capt. John P. May to Major of the 12th Virginia Regiment. Corporal Cogbill was appointed Orderly Sergeant. I learned late yesterday evening that the Monitor and four gunboats were at City Point, awaiting an opportunity to send forth their marauding parties to plunder that immediate neighborhood. City Point has been evacuated, the last to leave being an old negro woman. So they have full away in that section. T. Jay.
