The Daily Dispatch: May 18, 1864., [Electronic resource], Operations around Richmond — the battle not renewed yesterday — firing at Chaffin's Bluff — another steamer destroyed in St. John's river, &c. (search)
erday by a torpedo in the St. Johns, a short distance below Jacksonville. She had two guns aboard, and was lowing a schooner. The latter escaped. It is not known how many lives were lost. This is the third steamer that has met this fate in St. Johns river in the last forty days. Samuel Jones, Maj Gen. A raiding party in Mississippi. The Adjutant General yesterday received the following official dispatch from General S. D. Lee: Demopolis, May 16, 1864. To Gen. S. Cooper. A raiding party from Vicksburg, infantry and cavalry, moved on the Central Railroad, and while Gen. Adams was fighting their main body, near Pickens Station, a cavalry force burnt Boughan's Station and several inconsiderable trestles. Captain Younger, with one hundred and fifty men of Wood's regiment, handsomely repulsed two regiments of infantry from the railroad bridge and saved it. The enemy retreated to Yazoo City. The railroad is but slightly injured. S. D. Lee, Major General.

om the battle field and distributed among the hospitals in this city and Alexandria. A large number still remain at Belle Plain and Fredericksburg, awaiting removal. Thousands still lie on the battle field. A dispatch in the Herald, dated Washington, May 15, says the railroad from Alexandria to Rappahannock Station remains undisturbed by guerillas, and is in perfect order. Trains, however, run out no further than Union Mills at present. Stanton says Sigel was last heard from at Wood stock; and says the rumor that he had broken the railroads between Lynchburg and Charlottesville is not true. [By this time they have found out it was Sigel and his Dutch that have been broken.] The Cincinnati Times says prominent among the combinations for the reduction of Richmond is the movement of Gen. Crooks from the Kanawha Valley, with a considerable force. Gen. Robinson had his thigh badly fractured, and it was thought would have to be amputated so high up as to endange

Yankee Deserters. --Deserters from the Yankee army continue to pour into our lines.--The following is a list of the last batch received, the most of whom represent that they have no heart for the war, but from the force of circumstances were compelled to enlist in the Federal service: Henry Parks, co E, 11th Connecticut regiment, 8 Wood, co F., do; James Ford, John Bizell, co A, do; and D. Zna, on board of gunboat Stepping Stonp, were forwarded from Drewry's Bluff. Robert Singleton, John Bowman, Ambroes Booker, and Edward Langley, received from Charles City. The four inst are drafted recruits and state that they had not yet been assigned to commands. Quarters were given them in Castle Thunder, where it is to be hoped they will be kept till some better evidence of their sympathies for the South will be adduced than their own assertions.

of the operations around Resaca as follows: On Sunday morning firing commenced as usual, but nothing of particular importance occurred until 1 P. M. At that time a determined charge was made by Hooker's corps, which now occupied our left-Palmer, Howard, and Schofield having been shifted towards the right to fill up the gap occasioned by Hooker's withdrawal the day before.--This charge was at first believed to be successful. The enemy were driven from a portion of their second lines, and Wood's brigade, of Butterfield a division, stormed a small fort and took a battery of four guns. The rebels, however, having massed on this part of the line very heavily the day before, our men were exposed to so deadly a fire from the luner works that they were compelled to withdraw. Part of them continued to hold the small fort and kept possession of the four rebel guns.--Notwithstanding this repulse, our line was now advanced to what had been the first rebel line of works. Thus had we held o

New Publications. We have received from Messrs. West & Johnston, No. 145 Main street, "East Lynne; or, The Earl's Daughter," an English work, by Mrs. Wood; a most popular authoress, whose "Red Court Farm" elicited great praise from the critics of her own country. The plot is very dramatic, and the writing is natural and easy, sometimes displaying considerable of that knowledge of human nature, without which a novelist is nothing. The book is gotten out in very good style. The same firm has also republished Fowlers Arithmetic — a valuable work for schools.

like for martial prowess and the unpronounceable character of those indicia by which men are accustomed to reveal their nominative case, has undertaken to furnish them with recruits from Holland, Belgium, and the rest of Europe generally, upon speculation. Of course there is no want of a British ship to bring over these interesting strangers, and it might be dangerous to trust the cargo to any other than an intensely neutral bottom. Semmes, it is true, is shipless at the present moment, but Wood is abroad, and Yankeedom has lately heard from him in a way not at all calculated to allay any fears that she may be liable to entertain. Allen's menagerie, if entrusted to a Yankee ship, might be brought to grief some fine morning, and its cargo of brutes sent to kingdom come on very short notice. But a British vessel is neutral-- perfectly neutral--extremely neutral — amazingly neutral — a perfect model of neutrality. Lord Palmerston says so. Lord John Russell says so. The Queen says so.

ar vessels of a belligerent power had the right to remain in a neutral port long enough to make necessary repairs, take in coal, and twenty-four hours afterwards. The Tallahassee needed repairs sadly; but seeing the strong feeling against him, Captain Wood, very properly, refused to beg permission to remain long enough for the purpose. Had he done so, it would have been refused, undoubtedly. Captain Wood's word was not noticed, but engineers were sent on board to see how much coal — or rather Captain Wood's word was not noticed, but engineers were sent on board to see how much coal — or rather how little — would take her to sea; and other officers sent under the guise of visitors to inspect her condition. It is understood that Lord Lyons was very peremptory in his orders to send that ship to sea at once." Truly, British neutrality, as represented by the conduct of high officials, is a queer commodity.--Possibly no man claiming to be a man, and to occupy a high position, was ever so much the tool of another as Lord Lyons, the British minister at Washington, is of William H.

r ideas to the utmost. It was this fact that weakened the peace element. The cry was immediately started that they came have to break up the Convention and re-elect Lincoln. The tide therefore soon turned against them. It was this that shelved Wood and his pocket committee, that was not elected at Syracuse, and destroyed completely their influence for good or evil. Vallandigham labored under the same difficulty, and was, with his backers from Southern Ohio, made powerless in the end. Th vote of delegations was given, and two-thirds of the Convention were put down against McClellan. But the question with these men was who they could concentrate the opposition to McClellan on. This was no easy task, for the crowd that hung around Wood were nine-tenths outsiders, and had no voice in the Convention. Governor Seymour was finally selected as the man, under the belief that he would so divide New York as to effectually kill off "Little Mac."--Then came one of the wildest systems of

t Sabbath day — a smooth sea and clear sky. Captain Wood read service on the quarter-deck to all hane Confederate Cruiser Tallahassee," replied Captain Wood. Upon hearing this the fellow was frigeing a beautiful and fast-sailing schooner, Captain Wood put a price crew upon her, under Mr. Curtis foreign-built vessel by the shape and rig. Captain Wood was never mistaken, to my knowledge, from athe quarter-deck, when service was read by Commander Wood. From Meridian to 4 P. M., thick and fogg This coal was just the kind we wanted, and Captain Wood hoped to take some on board; but the sea beir homes, and there being so many on board, Captain Wood bonded her for eight thousand dollars, and ver the side tremblingly, and walking up to Captain Wood, pulled his foretop and put his hat under his arm.
