The Daily Dispatch: June 21, 1861., [Electronic resource], $10 reward (search)
Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.the Dispatch in South Carolina--Queries for the Postal Department. Kingston, S. C., June 18th, 1861. Your paper's popularity as well as its circulation is on the increase in this region. --Many here have friends and relatives assisting Virginia in this her second war of Independence, as well as our own, and naturally feel an intense anxiety to have the latest news from the scene of active military operations in the most expeditious manner. Many an exclamation, both loud and deep, yet not intended for ears polite, escapes from anxious expectants upon learning that the morning's mail is not the hearer of Dispatches for the subscribers of this place. The mail agents, the various postmasters along the line, and all in any way connected with the mail arrangements, by whom we are deprived of the Richmond papers, come in for a fair proportion of the indignation caused by the disappointment. We cannot learn who is to be blamed for our no

obert C. Schenck, Brigadier-General. The 71st regiment went down to Alexandria, but arrived after the battle was over. As they left, says the Washington Star, a train came down from Vienna, bringing eight killed and fourteen or fifteen wounded. Some of the killed were brought to this city by the steamer Star, which plies between 7th street wharf and Alexandria. Another account. The correspondent of the Washington Star writes: Falls Church, Fairfax county, Va., June 18th, 1861. W. D. Wallach: Dear Sir --When General Schenck reached this point yesterday, by rail, with the Ohio regiment of Col. McCook that stumbled on the disunionists' concealed battery, near Vienna, they were duly notified that between 1,000 and 1,100 South Carolina troops were stationed there. A consultation was held on the cars, and some of the officers urged that discretion was the better part of valor, while others maintained that they could whip them anyhow. It was determined to p

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch."honor to whom honor is due" Black Walnut, Halifax Co., Va., June 18, 1861. While every issue of your paper furnishes gratifying evidences of the devotion of the ladies to the cause of our Southern Independence, and their readiness to promote the comfort of our soldiers, I must in justice to the fair daughters of Black Walnut, Halifax county, claim, that while all the daughters of Virginia have done well, they have excelled. Having learned from Rev. A. M. Poindexter, just arrived from Yorktown, that the Black Walnut Dragoons were stationed there without camp equipage, or any shelter other than their India rubber blankets, they determined to go to work to supply their need. A supply of cloth was procured from your city, and a few hours' notice given, and early the next morning 50 ladies were collected and busily engaged at work. By 12 o'clock of the second day twelve large-sized and well-made tents, with two dozen camp chairs, were re

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.Gen. Garn it's column. Camp--, between Beverly and Phillippi, June 18th, 1861. I have left the name of the Camp blank, as it has not been christened. We are encamped it the foot of Laurel Hill, about half way between Beverly and Phillippi, fifteen miles from either place. General Garnett has divided his force at Beverly, one portion on the road to Buckhannon, the other regiment and Captain Shoemaker's Battery, and two companies of Cavalry, he brought to this point. They frequently meet with the enemy's scouts, and have killed two of them since I have been here--one last night and one this morning. Two more regiments will arrive to morrow, and three or four more in a very few days. I have no doubt an attack will be made by General G. as soon as his forces arrive. There are five hundred Federal troops at Phillippi. Four or five of our companies are armed with mountain rifles, and will be sure to play havoc with the enemy. A sc

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.from South Carolina. Hazlewood, S. C., June 18, 1861. In parts of North and South Carolina the British army could not remain for any length of time during the revolutionary war. They could scarcely pass any point affording concealment without losing men, and very often some who wore epaulets. An army could not well pursue one man, and to send a squad they would not venture very far from the main body, or if they did they seldom all returned, and sometimes none. Foraging parties very often returned minus some of their number. For the purpose of killing deer and other game, the citizens had previously provided themselves with good rifles, which they found very useful against, an invading foe.--The country may not afford the same means of concealment now as when it was nearly all in forest. Strangers, however, would stand a bad chance against those who were acquainted. If the citizens of Virginia so determine, an invading army wil

urdered Mr. P. Brady, in the city of Savannah, in Yamacraw. Mr. Brady saw me pass his house several times, and took me to be a runaway. He invited me into his house, saying he would give me something to eat. I went to the door, and he arrested me, saying, "You are my prisoner." I had a knife, and stabbed him in the left arm, also in his left shoulder, which killed him in ten minutes. I immediately left his house for the woods. "I killed Mr. Samuel W. Williams on or about the 18th day of June, 1861. I was persuaded to do so by a negro man, named Guy, belonging to Mr. James J. Hines. I saw Guy on Mr. Hines' place two or three times, and he persuaded me to kill Mr. Williams, and I agreed to do so. I saw Guy the same morning I killed Mr. Williams--he told me to stand in the bushes close to the bridge, and that Mr. Williams would cross the bridge. Guy then went to the field. After I had killed Mr. Williams I went to the field and saw Guy and told him I had killed Mr. Williams.
