The Daily Dispatch: July 10, 1862., [Electronic resource], The armies below Richmond. (search)
utenant showed fight, and encouraged his followers until, being badly wounded himself, the whole party surrendered. "Contrabands." Documents found upon the recent battle-fields prove beyond question the complicity of the Lincoln administration in the wholesale system of negro steading that has been practised upon the people of the South. A small pocket diary before us then from a Yankee soldier who was slain in one of the battles, gives an account of daily arrivals of encamp at Aquia Creek, where they were kept waiting for transportation. On Sunday morning, the 4th of May, he notices the departure of a cargo of "contraband" women for Washington, and at 4 P. M. of the same day, he says: "Contrabands still coming in large numbers." This negro-stealing has been kept up since he first entrance of the Yankee army into Virginia, and with the immediate sanction of the Seward Government. How can honest men tolerate association with such unscrupulous robbers? Furloughs.
