The Daily Dispatch: August 11, 1862., [Electronic resource], Confederate prisoners at Sandusky, Ohio. (search)
Confederate prisoners at Sandusky, Ohio. A gentleman just arrived from the depot of the prisoners of war, near Sandusky, Ohio, where the Yankees hold some 1,000 of our men in captivity, reports them all in fine health and spirits, and anxious for an exchange, their determination being to embark their fortunes again in the cause of the South. It is understood that they will be sent to Vicksburg for exchange. So far as our observation has extended, the ardor of our returned soldiers has inSandusky, Ohio, where the Yankees hold some 1,000 of our men in captivity, reports them all in fine health and spirits, and anxious for an exchange, their determination being to embark their fortunes again in the cause of the South. It is understood that they will be sent to Vicksburg for exchange. So far as our observation has extended, the ardor of our returned soldiers has increased, rather than diminished, by their temporary residence among the Yankees. On the contrary, many of the prisoners who have left Richmond lately for the North, have remarked that the Lincoln Government had virtually acknowledged the independence of the South in agreeing to the cartel of exchange, and as they had only fought heretofore for the restoration of the Union, they would take their places in the ranks no more, unless under compulsion.

Gen. Morgan's division, which held Cumberland Gap for so weeks, passed through Gallepolis, on the way to the scene of active operations in Western Virginia, on the 23d October. The force has been enttrely reclothed and paid. Mush dissatisfaction has prevailed among the Rast Tennessee ans, in the division, at having been ordered away from their homes; but the officers of the different regiments succeeded in appeasing the discontent which was felt. Parson Brownlow met the brigade at Portland, Ohio, and addressed it briefly. The tug Leslie arrived in Washinton on Wednesday from the lower Potomac, bringing up Thos.Hannon, James J. Swann, Augustus Howell, J. H. Parsons, R. B. Dorsey, and F. Thornton, who were recently captured near Brittain's Bay, attempting to cross into Virginia. They are all young men, hailing from Prince George's and Charles counties, and were escaping from the draft. The St. Louis Republican learns that Col. Chipman, Chief of Gen. Curtis's Staff, who

m the field for each day's use, are not likely to starve on corn meal and green herbs. Already early garden crops are coming into Southern markets. We don't object to a fair share of starvation as a part of military necessity, but we confess to not a little-shame when we hear men taking it for granted that the North is playing a trencher game, and does by knife and fork what it cannot do with the sword! A Doubtful story. From a letter written by a Federal surgeon to a lady in Sandusky, Ohio, and which was published in the Register, of that place, we extract the following rather hard story: While we were out on this last trip I dressed the wounds of a soldier (72d Indians) who had been taken prisoner with a comrade.--After tying them both up to a tree with their hands behind them, a captain deliberately shot them both — killing the other man on the spot. After shooting the one I saw, once through the face and once through the neck, so that I cut the ball out just belo

Burnside's Military Executions. "They were both killed by the first fire, and died without a struggle. Their bodies were delivered to their friends from Kentucky by order of Gen. Burnside!" Thus read the telegram from Sandusky, Ohio, announcing the execution of T. P. McGraw and Wm. Corbin, who were sentenced to death, we believe, for endeavoring to enlist men in Kentucky for the Southern cause. They "died without a struggle," is the consoling announcement; and Gen. Burnside most graciously ordered their lifeless bodies to be"delivered to their friends! " That man, at the beginning of the war, put on the sir of the humane gentleman; but finding that not popular with the Yankees, he essays now a shorter road to favor and thrift in the Northern mind, by throwing off all hypocrisy and becoming the unrelieved and unmitigated brute. He sees how Butler has thriven in Yankee esteem — how he has firmly fixed himself on a granite base on the very rock of Plymouth, where he cannot be sha

n officer just arrived from Washington, that Gen. Hooker's headquarters are at Alexandria, and that his army has fallen back to the heights of Centreville. Washington telegrams of the 1st again made the assertion that Vicksburg had fallen. The Yankees didn't bite at it so freely. The Yankees had placed guns at Falmouth to prevent the rebels fishing in the Rappahannock. At Cairo, June 1st, 180 rebel officers and 4,200 prisoners arrived from Vicksburg. They were to be sent to Sandusky. The Yankees publish the Confederate account of the burning of Jackson, Miss., with out a blush, and rather boast over the exploit. Admiral Dupont is to be relieved by Admiral Foote. A Baltimore correspondent says Lee's army has been reduced by 40,000 men, and says "now is the time for the Administration to compel Hooker to fight Lee." Pierpont has been elected Governor of Virginia, L. C. P. Cowper, Lt.-Governor, and J. R. Bowden, Attorney General. Great alarm exist

were also captured. Col. Kendrick is a native of Tazewell county, Va., and the unworthy son of Rev. W. P.

He has two brothers in the Confederate service, one of whom belonged to the command which captured the renegade. On the 15th of May last Wm F. Corbin and T. J. McGraw, two Confederate soldiers, members of the 4th Kentucky cavalry, were shot dead at Sandusky, Ohio, by order of Gen. Burnside, for recruiting for the Confederate service in Kentucky Comment upon what the fate of Kendrick and Bonham should be is unnecessary; but the following paragraph about the fate of the two Confederates may assist the reader in coming to a correct conclusion: When Corbin and McGraw were prisoners Miss Corbin, the sister of Corbin, called upon Gen. Burnside and appealed to him to refrain from executing his order, and the General replied "that he had quit handli

Retaliation — drawing lots for death. --At the Libby prison yesterday, by order of Gen. Winder, the Captains among the Yankee prisoners, numbering 74, drew lots for two to be shot in retaliation for the shooting of Captains Wm. F. Corbin and T. J. McGraw, by Gen. Burnside, at Sandusky, Ohio, on the 15th of May inst. The prisoners were a room at 12 o'clock by Capt. Turner, the commandant of the prison, and after being formed in a hollow square around a table, were informed of the order of Gen. Winder. A slip of paper, with the name of each man written on it and carefully folded up, was then deposited in a box on the table, and Captain. Turner informed the men that they might select who they pleased to draw the names out — the first two names drawn to indicate the men to be shot. Capt. Sawyer, of the 1st N. J. cavalry, suggested that one of the chaplains be appointed. Three of the chaplains were called down from an upper room, and, Rev. Mr. Brown accepting the task, amid a si
