The Daily Dispatch: June 20, 1864., [Electronic resource], Tumble in flour. (search)
A significant fact. --A large proportion of the Yankee prisoners captured by Gen Pickett, near Port Walthall, on Friday, were sixty and ninety-day recruits. This is an important fact, insomuch as it proves that Grant's army has been greatly depleted by the withdrawal of those of his veteran regiments whose term of service has expired, and he is now compelled to throw in the field inexperienced recruits, who were originally enlisted to guard the prisons and fortifications at the North.
