The Daily Dispatch: February 20, 1862., [Electronic resource], To the soldiers from South Carolina in the army of the Potomac. (search)
The enemy in Edenton bay. Col. Wm. J. Clark, of the 24th Regiment North Carolina State Troops, writes us that on the night of the 18th instant he received intelligence, by a courier from Winton, on Chowan river, that five of the enemy's ves were in Edenton bay, but that they were making no attempt to land. From the same source, we have a contradiction of the report that an attempt had been made to burn Weldon bridge. Colonel Clarke says the bridge is carefully and completely guarded. It will be recollected that we did not state that an attempt was made to burn the bridge. Our information was derived from a Government agent on the railroad between Petersburg and Weldon, who distinctly declared that he saw the evidences of the attempt to cut the girders of the bridge, and that the train was detained full fifteen minutes in order is make the necessary and proper examinations before proceeding to cross it.
