The Daily Dispatch: February 11, 1861., [Electronic resource], article 1 (search)
e recruiting raid armies to take Washington, and I am actually assured that General Scott has alleged as a reason for raising a standing army around the Capitol, tha made the pretext for raising menacing forces. This is base in motive, for General Scott can hardly be affrighted at a single poor civilian, who never set a squadroter distress from sickness in his family, and from the dangers which he fears Gen. Scott is rushing the nation into. Fear is not the motive of this slander — it is we pretext is needed to concentrate the army to establish a military despotism. Scott is but a martinet and commissary, but his vanity, in his old age, stands up likf the Constitution, and not to those who have broken them; and who will fight Gen. Scott himself to defend them both. I have opposed secession and advocated fighting inauguration of Lincoln. If anything could make me join a raid, it would be Gen. Scott's demonstration at Washington. See slip as to your idea of a Cotton Bank

named Oliver Crossmore, who seemed to be master of ceremonies. One negro clambered up the chimney, and would, perhaps, have been suffocated had he not been discovered.--Various evidences of the lottery business were observed, and some taken possession of. The entire party were taken to the second station-house. Crossmore, who is charged with selling tickets and chances in a lottery, and associating with slaves in an unlawful assembly, was afterwards admitted to bail in $500, for his appearance before the Mayor this morning. The negroes arrested are: Reuben Pleasant, free; Henry, Tom and Edgar, slaves of Jas. A. Scott; Henry, slave of Geo. Timberlake; George, slave of John Freeland; Henly, slave of T. B. Grundy; Preston, slave of Jas. Pleasants; Clem, slave of Wm. H. Haxall; Phabious, slave of Edward Rawlings; Lewis, slave of L. Brander; Caleb, free; and William, slave of John Priddy. Part of these colored speculators were punished and discharged; the others were held for Court.
