The Daily Dispatch: February 23, 1865., [Electronic resource], Correction of a Yankee story. (search)
sent nothing more daring and wicked than some of Mosby's late exploits. He occasionally, however, meets his match, a satisfactory instance of which is, happily, just at hand. Captain N. D'Evereux Badger, Acting Assistant Adjutant-General of Powell's cavalry division, left General Torbert's headquarters, near Cedar creek, on the morning of the 2d instant, to go to Winchester, accompanied by only two orderlies. A large train, heavily guarded, had left but an hour before, and the Captain, becaptured our scouts, instead of foully murdering them, contrary to every dictate of humanity and law of civilization. To boast of such a deed is but another exhibition of yankee brutality, worthy of fiends, and deserving alike the vengeance of God and man. The Sixth Virginia cavalry will remember the cowardly assassin, Captain N. D'Evereux Badger, Acting Assistant Adjutant-General of Powell's cavalry division. Their "brothers' blood crieth from the ground," and will not be unheard. Scout.
