The Daily Dispatch: May 31, 1862., [Electronic resource], From Norfolk. (search)
From Norfolk. We have received a copy of the Norfolk Day Book, of May 19. In the editorial column we find a very fair account of the repulse of the Federal gunboat flotilla on James river, and a notice of a rumor that England and France had recognized the independence of the Southern Confederacy. From the local department or the paper we copy the following: Our city has been remarkably quiet for a week past, the streets presenting day by day much the appearance of one prolonged Sabbath. Occasional groups of citizens can be seen on the sidewalks talking of the present condition of things and speculating of the future. The most perfect order reigns throughout the entire community, and we are glad to be able to chronicle the fact that the people have respected themselves and the city too much to engage in any acts which might have gotten them in trouble, without being of any practical benefit to any one. Almost all the stores continue closed, and there is very little a

ed in that city I was compelled to witness the enormities perpetrated in obedience to the behests of those who ruled the mob. One hour in the morning, from 6 to 7, was allowed me to stand at the window grate, and at such times their whippings and head- shavings were indulged. Here I saw, from the 27th of April to the 6th of June, eighty five men whipped and their heads shaved and forty-three hung because they refused to take the oath of allegiance to the Southern Confederacy. And on the 19th of May last, one of the most beautiful and accomplished young ladies this country can beast of was stripped to the waist, thirteen lashes laid upon her back, and the right half of her head shaved, simply because she had purchased a ticket for Cairo, and was congratulating herself that she would soon be in a land of freedom. These crimes, which make the blood hurdle in our veins, "and rouse a vengeance blood alone can quell," were regarded as small matters by the Avalanche--altogether too insign

l carrier" was captured by the Yankees near Culpeper, Va., on the 16th inst. A large quantity of letters to prominent officers in the Southern service were found in the mailbag, also about ten thousand dollars in Confederate bonds. The carrier said his name was Granville W. Kelly. A bill to repeal the "Personal Liberty Law" of Wisconsin was passed by the Assembly of that State, on the 13th inst., by a vote of fifty-one ayes to twenty-five noes. The Kingston (Jamaica) Journal,, of May 19, says: "The shipping registry of Saturday last shows another arrival from the blockaded ports of the Southern States--the sloop Fair field, with a cargo of cotton, which will be offered for sale in this market. There are now in our harbor three vessels bearing the flag of the Confederate States--the Fairfield, the Water Witch, and the Jossera." Lord Lyons, accompanied by his Secretaries, arrived in New York on the 17th, and was to depart for England the next day in the steamer Persia

he dirt under the heel of power, these natural partials, not only obtain immunity for themselves, but they also succeed in putting money in their pockets.--They give welcome to the tyrant that they may safely trade with his sutlers. The existence of such people does not at all astonish us nor even that they are to be found in our midst. We were quite prepared to see men, who had abetted a mob on the 19th of April, 1861, change sides and call lustily for the blood of that same mob on the 19th of May following. We expected nothing better of them, and were not disappointed. When law and liberty are again uppermost they will, doubtless, be found navigating in an opposite direction. When that time comes, as come it will, we look to behold them, with faces innocent of shame, obtruding themselves upon the company of honest men. The natural inclination will be to hang them up to the first lamp-post, but we deprecate all such exhibitions of violence. We shall rest content to see them kic

buildings, &c., $1,577.84; repairs on real estate in Richmond, $35.26; sundries charged for transportation expenses, $6,481.82. Total, $371,809.96. The road earned in October, 1861, $104,277.63; in August, 1862, $146,160.79; in September, 1862, $118,418.93. These are the largest earnings for any months embraced in the fiscal year. As to the road way itself, it has suffered more from long-continued rains and from raids of the enemy than from the amount of tonnage transported. The track between the Junction and Gordonsville requires ballasting. The sidings at Beaver Dam, Louisa C. H., and Gordonsville, have been extended. The amount of capital stock authorized by the charter of the road is three millions four hundred thousand dollars. The bridges over Rivana river and Moore's creek need replacing by others of a heavier character. In the raid of the enemy on Jackson's River depot, 19th of May, they were piloted by W. P. Rucker, formerly a citizen of Allegheny county.

Latest from Mississippi. Mobile, May 19 --The Register & Advertiser's special reporter at Jackson, in a dispatch yesterday, says: "The Federal sent in a flag of truce this evening for the principal surgeon left in charge of the wounded. The officer in charge of the flag states that in Saturday's fight they lost six hundred men, took sixteen guns, and that our troops fell back across Big Black, destroying the bridge. They advanced eight miles north, and this morning found Johnson in line of battle." According to our advices, no artillery was lost, and the bridge was not burnt. Our force of 12,000 men fought two army corps of 24,000, sustained themselves, and fell back at night to their entrenchments. The loss was heavy, and the battle severe and indecisive. The Yankees are on the way to interrupt communication. Rumors good and bad are plenty.

Western and Northern news. Tullahoma, May 19. --All quiet in front — Louisville and Nashville papers of the 16th have been received. They contain nothing from Mississippi. The Daily Press states that large numbers of troops are leaving Memphis to reinforce Grant. A dispatch dated Louisville, 15th inst., (St. Louis,?) says that the rebel sympathizers were departing. The scene was touching from the sobbing and weeping at the separation of fathers, mothers, and daughters. Men with families were allowed to take one thousand dollars; those without families, two hundred dollars; the balance of their property to be taken by the Government. Memphis dates of the 15th state that Adjutant General Thomas had formed ten full regiments of "contrabands," and expects many more. Burnside's letter to the Circuit Court of Ohio, relative to Vallandigham, says: "If I were to find a man from the enemy distributing the speeches of their public men, tending to destroy the confide

The battle in Mississippi. Mobile, May 19 --The special reporter of the Advertiser and Register, under date of the 18th, at Jackson, furnishes the following particulars of Saturday's fight, received from the Adjutant of the 15th Mississippi regiment, from Canton last night. The battle was fought at Baker's Creek, about twenty miles west of Jackson. We whipped the enemy badly until he was reinforced from Jackson. Gen. Pemberton then fell back to Big Black bridge.--Gen. Pemberton estimates our loss at 3,000 and the enemy's three times as many. Gen Loring, on the left, was cut off, but cut his way through to Crystal Springs, twenty five miles south of Jackson. His loss is unknown Gen. Tighman was killed.
