The Daily Dispatch: August 28, 1861., [Electronic resource], Crinoline. (search)
nevitable. Aware that my advice, as well as my motives, may be liable to misconstruction, I would still most respectfully recommend to my friends the propriety of abstaining from all further opposition or resistance to the Confederate authorities, or the action of our own State; and should this be done, although I have no authority to speak for them, I am satisfied that no military power will be exerted among us, except such as may be indispensably necessary to retain military possession of East Tennessee. And to those of our citizens who have gone beyond the limits of the State, either though fear or the purpose of arming themselves to resist a course of action which is disavowed in Gen. Polk's letter, I think I can safely say, without arrogance, that from the course which was adopted-towards me, they would risk nothing by returning to the State and submitting to a result which they have in vain endeavored to prevent. Thos. A. R. Nelson. Knoxville Tenn., 17th Aug., 1861.
The Daily Dispatch: August 28, 1861., [Electronic resource], Arrest of a Federal officer. (search)
Navy-Yard and other fortifications, went to the house of a lady relative of his in this city and persuaded her negroes to run off, collected some money here for a relative in Washington City, D. C., and started on the Petersburg train for Richmond. A telegraphic dispatch, I understand, was sent from here informing on him to the authorities in Richmond, who had him arrested on getting out of the cars.--I am told that he was several days in this city, and that he crossed the Potomac in company with Southern ladies and gentlemen, who did not suspect him of being a spy, knowing as they did that he was a Virginian by birth. He informed them, I am told, that he had resigned from the Federal Navy, and was coming to Norfolk to report himself to Commodore French Forest, now in charge of our Navy-Yard. This strikes me as the coolest piece of daring impudence I ever heard of. The arrest was effected in Knoxville, Tennessee, by officers acting under the authority of General Zollicoffer.
