The Daily Dispatch: May 28, 1863., [Electronic resource], The Northwestern expedition. (search)
information obtained. In the meantime Gen. Jones had struck the railroad at Cairo and destroyed two bridges. The tunnel, No. 18, which had some 4,000 cords of wood in the arching, was destroyed completely. We rejoined Gen. Jones near Ritchie C H, and from thence we proceeded to "Oil Town, " or "Rathbone City," in Wirt county. Since the commencement of hostilities between the two sections, Wirt county has been constantly in the hands of the enemy. The Yankee Government has had the t in some of the counties through which we passed, and my conclusion is this: A large majority of the people of Marion county are strongly Southern in their feeling; Harrison is loyal to a great degree; Barbour, some good feeling; Upshur, very unsound; Lewis, a majority sound, but a large minority very rampant in their disloyalty; Doddridge, a hot bed of fanaticism and disloyalty; Ritchie, not much, if any, better. In Monongalia and Preston there is very little Southern feeling. H. D. B.
