General Hains was at or near the position he was to take, when the artillery was unmasked and everything was ready to shell the enemy.

Col. St. Leger Grenfell was a distinguished British officer who had served in the Crimean war and in India, and having tendered his services to the Confederacy, accompanied General Morgan on this expedition as inspector on his staff. He continued with his command until the close of the war and was conspicuous at all times for his dashing gallantry in leading charges and promoting efficient organization. When the war closed, he was denied terms by the Federal government and imprisoned at Dry Tortugas. In attempting to escape in a boat he was driven to sea by a storm, and never heard of. All of which is respectfully submitted. John H. Morgan, Acting Brigadier-General, C. S. Army. R. A. Alston, Asst. Adjt.-Gen. The effect of Morgan's raid was far reaching and involved much more than the mere physical results narrated so clearly in his report. It convulsed the whole Federal organization in General Buell's department from Louisville and Cincinnati to Huntsville, Ala., at which

lonel Harvey Brown, who was given command of Florida by the Federal government and ordered to make Fort Jefferson his main depot and base of operations. He sailed on the ship Atlantic, followed by the Illinois, carrying stores, and the ships Sabine, St. Louis and Crusader were also in the expedition, as well as the Powhatan under Lieut. David D. Porter, all indicating the intention of the United States to make a formidable effort to retain armed possession of its strongholds at Key West, Dry Tortugas and Santa Rosa island. The forces with Colonel Brown landed April 18th, and troops continued to arrive, it being the intention to put 3,000 men on the island. Meanwhile the government of the Confederate States was not idle. Provisional forces were called out for the defense of Pensacola harbor: 1,000 from Georgia, 1,000 from Alabama, 1,000 from Louisiana, 1,500 from Mississippi, and 500 from Florida; in all 5,000 infantry. General Bragg had an aggregate present on the last of March
The Daily Dispatch: May 18, 1863., [Electronic resource], Mr. Vallandigham--Lincoln and the North. (search)
Mr. Vallandigham--Lincoln and the North. The latest Northern news received here brings the rumor that Mr. Vallandigham has been sentenced by the drum-head court that tried him to two years imprisonment at hard labor on the Dry Tortugas, Florida. The Herald discredits the rumor on the ground that the rigid rule of secrecy prevailing in such courts as tried him would prevent its decision from gaining publicity until made public by the court itself. The same paper takes occasion to say that such a sentence would make certain Mr. V.'s election as Governor of Ohio in the fall. In the meantime there are indications of some popular excitement on account of Mr. Vallandigham's arbitrary arrest and trial — especially in New York, where a large meeting had been held on the subject. Mr. James Brooks, of the Express, made a very strong declaration in his speech to that meeting. He said, "In my judgment and belief it is not so much the intention of the Administration to subjugate the

to sending him South. In reference to the case of Vallandigham, the American says: "The true friends of the Union will learn with infinite satisfaction that the pestilent traitor — Vallandigham — so long permitted to defy and insult the Government, and all who stand by it to put down a godless rebellion, has at last a prospect of getting a modicum of his dues in being assigned to the care of his congeners in Dixie — a commutation of that sentence which should have sent him a felon to Dry Tortugas."

reated with contempt, and all the constitutional protection thrown around the citizen nullified by the military commander of the district. What will the party who have organized opposition to the Federal despotism on the ground of its arbitrary arrests and its constitutional usurpations do? It is true, the death order has not been executed to its full extent, and it is moreover true that Lincoln has commuted the already commuted sentence from one of confinement to hard labor on the Dry Tortugas, Florida, to banishment; but the penalty thus modified is no less an infringement of individual right and constitutional privilege than if Mr. Vallandigham had been hung on the gibbet or brought to the block. If the Anti-Lincoln, Anti-Abolition party are contending for principle and not for party — if for the Constitution and law, and not for the loaves and fishes, the contracts and fat jobs of the war — now is the time for them to prove it.
