The Daily Dispatch: September 21, 1861., [Electronic resource], A Miscalculation. (search)
olnite fleets on the seacoasts of the Confederate States, and Commander Rowan, one of the Lincolnite heroes of Hatteras, talks about ten regiments having been recalled from Virginia for the defence of North Carolina. This is a flat untruth says the Wilmington Journal. There are more Confederate troops in Virginia to-day than before the Hatteras affair. Some few regiments that were getting ready for Virginia may have been detained for a time at home, or rather on the coast of their own State, but regiments are forming so rapidly that the quota of North Carolina troops on the frontier will be larger on the first of October than on the first of September. Because a few scattered and exposed "bankers" are at the mercy of a Yankee force equal in number to all the men, women and children on Hatteras Island, Mr. Rowan need not flatter himself that Lincolnism has any hold in North Carolina. His hopes, like his fort and Hawkins, sworn in men, will be based on the most shifting of sands.
