The Daily Dispatch: November 13, 1861., [Electronic resource], A card from Miss Joey Guggenheim--she refuses to play on Sunday . (search)
ipts was simply an idle excuse. By the statement of the machinist, the scenes could not be prepared in two weeks; and I may state here that it is not usual for artists to give into uncertain managerial hands valuable manuscripts two weeks before they can be made legitimate use of. Besides, the manager knew that the parts were not even copied out, and that I was hard at work on them myself, intending to give them into the theatre as soon as one of the three scenes should be completed by Messrs. Rogers, the scene painter, and Stackhouse, the machinist — without which it would have been a waste of time to rehearse.--Having explained that point, I come to the other so-called violation of my engagement, namely, the not playing on Sunday nights.--I can only say, it has been clearly understood by all the managers in this city that I would not engage to do so. I have steadily refused, when I knew my share of the receipts would be from a hundred and fifty to two hundred dollars every Sunday;

Deceased was a man of good family, and was well skilled in his profession. Vessels captured by the Privateer Beauregard--running the blockade. From the Washington Star, of the 30th ult., we clip the following items: The Boston Merchants' Exchange has the intelligence that the privateer Beauregard, which was captured by Capt. Rogers, of the gun-boat W. G. Anderson, on the 12th inst, had taken two prizes before falling into the hands of Capt. R. The names of the vessels are not known, but one of them, it is known, had on board $4,000 in specie, which the privateers threw overboard to prevent its being. taken by the Anderson. Four vessels, one from each of the following blockaded ports — Wilmington, Charleston, Savannah, and Jacksonville — had arrived at Nassau. This news is reported by steamer Karnak at New Yor

esburg, while, no doubt the Courier's valiant correspondent heard them from afar, in the safe retreat of a hospital or baggage waggon. In addition to these, Loudoun has three full cavalry companies in the service--Capts. Dulany, Carter, and Mead. Capt. Carter's, was the company which made the gallant charge at Manassas. In part, I believe that it was the only cavalry company which charged at all that day, until after the battle was won. Londoun has also a company of artillery, (Capt. Rogers) which did good work on the 21st of July, and a company of infantry, (the Loudoun Guards) in the 17th Va. regiment, was foremost in the fight at Bull Run on the 18th of July. I know, that in a certain section of Londoun, known as the Dutch settlement, traitors are scattered as thick as tories were in South Carolina, in the Revolution; but as South Carolina was not denounced at that time, because of her tories, neither should Loudoun be thus denounced now because of the villainous tre

y, dated "Top of Alleghany," Dec. 16th, 1861: "We have had a most desperate battle.--The enemy attacked us early in the morning of the 13th. The attack was made in two columns — on the right there were 3,000; on the left 2,200. The fight commenced at ten minutes to seven o'clock A. M., and lasted to fifteen minutes to two o'clock P. M. On the right we had 400; on the left not exceeding 700. Our boys fought like veterans. The right was defended by the 31st regiment, Hansbrough's and Rogers's battalions, reinforced by two companies of Georgians. The enemy were finally driven back by a charge On the left the defence was made by the 52d regiment, commanded by Major Ross; eight companies of the 12th Georgia, Miller's, and Anderson's batteries. "Enclosed I send you a list of the killed and wounded in the 31st. Major Boykin behaved nobly, and richly merits promotion. I have just heard that Col. Wm. L.

he 18th of July, with Jackson's brigade, as before said, as a support. Cocke's brigade, increased by seven companies of the 8th, Hunton's, three companies of the 49th, Smith's Virginia regiments, two companies of cavalry, and a battery under Rogers of four 6-pounders, occupied the line in front and rear of Bull Run, extending from the direction of Bonham's left, and guarding Island, Ball's and Lewis's Fords, to the right of Evans's demi- brigade, near the Stone Bridge, also under Gen. Cockeich was formed on the right by Bee's and Evans's commands, in the centre by four regiments of Jackson's brigade, with Imboden's four six- pounders, Walton's five guns, (two rifled,) two guns (one piece rifled) of Stanard's and two six-pounders of Rogers's batteries, the latter under Lieut. Heaton; and on the left by Gartrell's reduced ranks and Col.

oads, other portions of the line of Ball Run had not been void of action, of moment, and of influence upon the general result. While Colonel Evans and his sturdy band were holding at bay the Federal advance beyond the turnpike, the enemy made repeated demonstrations, with artillery and infantry, upon the line of Cocke's brigade, with the serious intention of forcing the position, as General Schenck admits in his report. They were driven back with severe loss by Latham's (a section) and Rogers's four six-pounders, and were so impressed with the strength of that line as to be held in check and inactive, even after it had been stripped of all its troops but one company of the 19th Virginia regiment, under Captain Duke, a meritorious officer. And it is worthy of notice that, in this encounter of our six-pounder guns, handled by our volunteer artillerists, they had worsted such a notorious adversary as the Ayres's — formerly Sherman's — battery, which quit the contest under the illus

rew out what few mounted men were available under Capt. Sterrett, of the Churchville Cavalry, to different points along the valley upon our right for the purpose of bringing as timely notice of an approach by the enemy, and I also strengthened considerably the picket guard advanced in that direction. The centre I entrusted to the 5th brigade, under command of Col. Taliaferro, composed of the 44th Virginia regiment, Col. Scott; the 23d Virginia regiment, Lieutenant Colonel Taliaferro, and Major Rogers's battalion, commanded, in his absence from sickness, by senior Captain John C. Higginbotham. This brigade was reduced in the course of the action by the detachment of one hundred men under Maj. Jones, of the 44th, to reenforce our left wing. This detachment marched in gallant style, under the enemy's fire, to the position as signed it in line. The troops on this wing which, from the character of the ground were widely disparted, fell under the general command of Colonel Rust, of the 3
