The Daily Dispatch: December 30, 1864., [Electronic resource], Our Wilmington Correspondence. (search)
t was yet at a distance, and snuffed the battle while it was yet afar off. Let every man physically able, then, hurry with his blanket to Wilmington, where arms and rations will be furnished, and let those left behind mount themselves and patrol their counties, looking after the women and children and preserving order. Your Governor will meet you at the front and will share with you the worst. Given under my hand and the great seal of the State. Done at our city of Raleigh, on the 20th day of December, 1864. By the Governor: Zebulon B. Vance. M. S. Robbins, Private Secretary. Raleigh, December 21, 1864. The Wilmington Journal of the 24th says: "A heavy report, resembling an earthquake, was heard and felt in this town about half-past 1 o'clock last night. We learn that the report was caused by one of the Yankee steamers off Fort Fisher getting aground, and being unable to get off, the enemy blew her up. The explosion shook the houses in town severely."
