The Daily Dispatch: April 8, 1864., [Electronic resource], Present for Gen. Robert E. Lee. (search)
Present for Gen. Robert E. Lee. --A citizen of Albemarle county, Va., who emigrated to Illinois in 1857, has just returned. He concealed within the lining of his vest a beautiful pin-cushion, presented to Gen. Lee by a young lady of Wood county, Ill. One side of this "token" was white silk, on which was a Confederate flag, bearing the motto "Conquer or Dic." The other side was blue silk, with white dais, and the word "Love" in the centre.

ch are intimately connected, were continued. A white boy, named Francis Lewis, who said he worked in the Laboratory, was charged with having a well chain and two chisels, supposed to be stolen. He had been found by the watchmen sleeping under a bench in the old market, with the chain beside him, and the chisels down his breeches leg. He was discharged. Jim, slave of Wm. Hawkins, and John Claiborne, a free negro shoemaker, were charged with stealing a box of tobacco from Christian & Lee. Jim was whipped, and Claiborne discharged. Isaac Lomax alias Lomax Smith, was ordered to be whipped for having in his possession a lot of valuable shoemaker's tools, stolen from Mr. Wm. C. Page. This man, who is a shoemaker, when arrested gave his name as Lomax Smith, which led us into the error in yesterday's issue, that the respectable free negro barber of that name was the party arrested. James Gain and John Harper, two ruffianly individuals, arrested as vagrants, were sent to

Lee has issued a General Order directing the observance of tomorrow as a day of fasting, humiliation and prayer — directing the due preparation of all the departments to anticipate the wants of the several commanders. All military duties, unless absolutely necessary, are to be suspended, and the chaplains are desired to hold divine service in their regiments and brigades. Officers and men are requested to attend. It is reported that a scouting party of the enemy appeared on the heights of Stafford, opposite Fredericksburg, yesterday. Great activity is visible in the Yankee camps.

im.--In Gates's whole army we are confident there was not a Yankee company. There certainly were no Yankees with Marion and Sumter, and they were the men who had most to do with the tories in South Carolina. Nor were there any Yankees in Green's army when he took command. That army was composed, at Guilford, of the Maryland Line, under the command of Col. O. H. Williams, part of the Virginia Line, General Huger's South Carolina regulars, a part of the North Carolina Line, the cavalry of Cols. Lee and Washington, and the militia of Virginia and North Carolina. The whole force numbered 4,500 men — a considerable army in those days — and there was not a company of Yankee soldiers among them.--The battle of King's Mountain was won by militia from North and South Carolina and Virginia. Certainly there were no Yankees there. The battle of the Cowpens was won by the Virginia and Maryland troops under command of Gen. Morgan, the Maryland Line being that day under the command of John Eage
