The Daily Dispatch: August 5, 1861., [Electronic resource], Plain talk for the Lincolnites. (search)
alk for the Lincolnites. The New York Day Book, of the 23d ult., comments as follows upon the Battle of Manassas: After our first edition went to press yesterday, the rumors of the morning were fully confirmed. The Federal forces met an unexpected but severe and overwhelming defeat, and retreated upon their entrenchments at Washington. The causes are not fully known, but a correspondent of the Times says it was occasioned by a "masterly flank movement" of the Confederates. Jefferson Davis, it seems, assumed the command in person, and it can easily be imagined what enthusiasm this must have produced among his troops. Nearly all our artillery, a large amount of baggage, army stores, provisions, "c., have fallen into the hands of the Confederates. The Republican papers do not deny their defeat, but they profess to believe it will be a useful lesson for the future. We should hope it might be. The sorrow, the suffering, the misery entailed upon our people by this sad b

paper which has done so much to vitiate the taste, deprave the morals and degrade the character of the North, as the New York Herald. But as the Herald has waxed fat, it has waxed pompous and dictatorial, assuming high airs towards legislative and executive authorities, and has at last capped the climax by brandishing over the great powers of Europe that steel pen which it imagines a genuine thunderbolt of Jove, tipped with fatal lightnings. In the same paper in which it admonishes Jeff. Davis to "hasten and sue for mercy" at the throne of Lincoln, it devotes a furious column to the London Times and to England, declaring that after the war is over, the victorious half million will direct their attention to Canada, which they will proceed immediately to annex to Mr. Lincoln's domains, and, by way of punishing Spain for the invasion of St. Domingo, will appropriate Cuba. "Ye Gods! Upon what meat doth this our Caesar feed, that he hath grown so great?" Is this a genuine voice fr

our army. He is sent for the purpose of obtaining from you a permit for Mr. H. S. McGraw and myself to pass your times to obtain the body of Col. Cameron, who fell in the action of yesterday. My solicitude in this matter is an impulse of private character. The rigid rules established in Washington with reference to flags of truce prevent me from carrying out my wishes without proceeding as I am now doing. I believe General B. will recollect me while a resident in New Orleans; but if President Davis, Gen. Lee, Gen. Johnston, Gen. Wigfall, Colonels Miles, Keitt, or Withers, are present, they will not hesitate to vouch for me. General Bouham, and in fact nearly all your officers, know me. In addition to the gratification of performing a sacred duty. I would be highly delighted to meet in your camp many of my most valued friends. It is proper for me to add that I have not been in any manner connected with the action of the Government here, and that I am a neutral. Very respectfull

Delaware heard from. --The following is from the Lewes (Del.) correspondence of the Philadelphia Inquirer, July 26th. We now have the reason why the Federal Congress made an appropriation to arm the "loyal" citizens of Delaware: The Secessionists are very violent here just now. A number of excursionists from Dover, calling themselves the "Peace Party," came ashore yesterday, headed by Mr. Ridgely, the Secretary of State. Early in the day Ridgely cheered lustily for Jeff. Davis, Beauregard & Co., entreating others of our citizens to fall in with his crew. They remained on shore all day, Ridgely, in the meantime, becoming beastly intoxicated. The citizens met and quelled the traitors for a time, but last night, after being reinforced, they again assembled on the bank of the creek, and yelled like savages for the Confederate States.
