The Daily Dispatch: December 19, 1861., [Electronic resource], Twenty Dollars Reward. (search)
Waller's house is in Stafford county, less than a hundred yards from the river, and some four or five miles above. Aquia Creek. The attack was, altogether, one of the most cowardly and mean that even a Yankee could penetrate. From the Fredericksburg Recorder, of the 17th inst.,we extract the following: The only matter of striking interest that has occurred on this river since our last, has been running of the blockade by several small crafts on Sunday morning, whilst a strong wind was blowing down the river.-- Our batteries failed to do any serious damage to the small fry vessels, though it is reported that the Pensacola attempted to go down and was driven back. It is said that Braxton's battery, from this place, fired some five shots into a tug on Sunday'morning, doing it serious damage. This is reported to have occurred just below Evansport.-- Very severe firing was heard up the Potomac for some five or six hours this morning, but where or what it was we cannot say.
