The Daily Dispatch: July 19, 1861., [Electronic resource], A Yankee Editor Condemns the Outrages committed by Lincoln troops. (search)
A Yankee Editor Condemns the Outrages committed by Lincoln troops. In the editorial correspondence of the New York Times, written from Fortress Monroe, Va., on the 4th of July, by Hon, Henry J. Raymond, its editor, a description of the Fort and the surrounding camps is given. Speaking of the village which has been abandoned to the Hessians, he says: It is a very pretty country town, with a fine hotel looking out upon the river, a good military school, three or four churches, &c. On the day after his arrival at the Fortress, Gen. Butler crossed over this bridge with one of the Massachusetts regiments, on a reconnaissance, and this seems to have completed the terror which had previously almost paralyzed the town. The people burned the bridge and fled. I procured a boat, and crossed over to the "deserted village." A stout fellow rowed us across, who said his master had gone to York town, and he was not anxious to have him return. Of the 2,000 or 2,500 inhabitants of t
Inhuman treatment of an aged man. --The Petersburg Express, of Thursday, contains the following instance of inhuman treatment visited upon an old man residing in the neighborhood of Hampton, by a band of Lincoln's scoundrels: At an early hour on Sunday last, Mr. Thos. W. Lowry, who owns a large farm on the North side of Back river, was surprised to find, without reason or foreknowledge, his house surrounded by some twenty-five Lincolnites. The servants in the kitchen were prevented from coming out, or even from speaking. Mr. Lowry demanded once or twice to know the reason of this action, and on receiving no answer drew his pistol and fired upon them through the windows. The fire was immediately returned by a number of the fellows, whose balls passed in very close proximity to Mr. L.'s wife. The Hessians then rushed into the house and seized Mr. L oven before he could get all his clothes on, dragged him out in anything but a gentle manner, using harsh language towards hi
Some progress has already been made towards this consummation. Considering that it is barely two months since President Lincoln's Cabinet received its instructions from popular opinion, it must be admitted that it has not been idle Mr. Bright thought it necessary to take into his confidence. As it is certain that, in the present temper of the Northern mind, Mr. Lincoln would have found no difficulty in obtaining from the Federal Legislature any extra legal powers that he might be incli behavior; and, in fact, as we shall presently see, this obvious reflection has already suggested itself to some of President Lincoln's Generals. Judging from the general approbation which has attended the raid on the telegraphic offices there can ical offences, and that the authority of the Supreme Court of the United States is summarily set asides by order of President Lincoln. Without any sanction from Congress, and by the simple flat of he President and his General the writ of habeas cor
A good move--military telegraphy. --The Richmond correspondent of the New Orleans Delta says: While the Lincoln Administration is assiduously studying military æromantics under Prof. Lowe, and the Professor in conducing to his own amusement and preciosity by humbugging Lincoln, Seward and Scott with his ærial romances, the Confederate Government is engaged to much more practical purpose in organizing a system of military telegraphy, with the assistance of an experienced and energetic telegraphist, Mr. J. T. Colwell, late of Washington, and now Telegraphic Superintendent for Eastern Virginia and North Carolina, Mr Colwell is now having the wire made for this purpose in Richmond, and when this is flushed it is purposed to furnish a portion of it to every important division of the army, together with a field apparatus and operators to work them.--This kind of telegraph requires no posts. The wire, which is insulated, can be unwound from a sort of reel, and taken, as fast as
Uncle Sam's men. --The Newark (N. J.) Daily Mercury complains bitterly of the insolence and the thievish propensities of the United States troops. These men enter beer saloons, restaurants, stores, etc., and after ordering anything that may suit their fancy, refuse to pay the bill. Of course a row follows, and the police rush in but even the city authorities are resisted, and the United States officers excuse their men by saying that "Uncle Sam's men are boss of the police!" Just a foretaste of the military despotism Scott, Lincoln & Co. propose to inaugurate.
Union of the South. When Lincoln proclaims in his Inaugural that in all the Southern States except South Carolina there is still a majority which would hail wi that act an infallible test of its devotion to the cause of Virginia. Will Mr. Lincoln vouchsafe to inform the world whether he ever heard before of a party havingeach of its individual members, upon the dictation of a minority? Moreover, Mr. Lincoln has himself confessed to a distinguished gentleman of Louisiana, formerly a rms by Wm. H. Seward. Yet, in an Inaugural Message, prepared by these two men, Lincoln audaciously assumes that which, according to the admission of Seward and himseon, there is not a man, woman or child left in the South who does not hold Abraham Lincoln and his Government in utter detestation. The old Union party of Virginia free Government, have led the van in the support of Southern Independence. If Lincoln sends his armies to relieve the Union men of the South from their oppressors,
Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.the recent Brush at Hatteras Intel, &c. Elizabeth City, N. C., July 15. On Wednesday last one of Lincoln's war steamers, forty-four guns, supposed to be the Wabash or Minnesota, approached within two miles of the encampment of the Confederate troops at Hatteras quiet and run out her guns with a design to fire upon our troops in their camps. Before she got ready to fire, however, our battery at that place opened upon her with great spirit, and a sharp engagement ensued. The fire from our battery was so warm that the enemy had to withdraw his attention from our Unprotected encampment and opened his fire at the Fort.--Our men, though this was their first engagement, fired with such rapidity and precision that the enemy struck his flag and the firing on our side housed. The steamer was struck, it is thought, several times, but was enabled to get off. Capt. Cohcon commanded our battery, and the men under his charge behaved with grea

The vandals on North Carolina soil. --The Newbern (N. C.) Progress, of the 17th, learns from a reliable source that a private letter had been received at Beaufort, stating that a number of Lincoln's vandals landed on Roanoke Island, in that State, on Wednesday last, and that the authorities there had sent to Norfolk for assistance to oust them.
