The Daily Dispatch: February 6, 1864., [Electronic resource], The reconnaissance to Newbern. (search)
From the Southwest. Mobile, Feb. 4. --A special dispatch to the Evening News, dated Okolona, says: No signs of the enemy in Northern Mississippi, or in West Tennessee, except at Memphis and Charleston. The Yankee programme is an advance from Vicksburg into Central Alabama, necessitating, as they suppose, the abandonment of Mobile. Our forces occupy Corinth and Jackson. Neither have been destroyed, but everything has been carried off, including stock, farming implements, and household furniture. Many families must go to Memphis or suffer the destruction of everything. The Yankee cavalry, in strong force, crossed the Big Black yesterday, or the day before, and were met by Jackson's cavalry. A lively fight took place. Perhaps this is the commencement of the general advance of the enemy.
