The Daily Dispatch: April 10, 1862., [Electronic resource], An explanation of the affair at Union city, Tenn. (search)
llowing explanation of the affair at Union City, Tenn.: Was at breakfast, when the enemy, with their whole force — consisting of cavalry, artillery and infantry — made their appearance. The road leading to the city was to be picketed by Col. Jackson's cavalry, which was not done. No report was made to Col. Pickett of the advance of the enemy. The first intimation he had the enemy's battery was planted within one hundred yards of his headquarters. His time was occupied in issuing passpo valued at about $6,000, and but little ammunition. The enemy destroyed the cars, quarters, and tents, and retired with great demonstrations of joy. Col. Tilghman displayed great coolness and bravery, and won the esteem of the regiment. Col. Jackson had command of the cavalry, by order of Gen. Polk. Our regiment rallied at Crockett's Station, ten miles from Union City. They were pursued by the enemy about three miles. Col. Pickett sent scouts to Cogett's, fearing the enemy might fla
t to amend an act to regulate the pay and compensation of members of Congress — providing for the monthly payment of members on the certificate of the Speaker of the House. After considerable discussion of the bill, Mr. McLean, of N. C., called the question, and the bill was passed with a slight amendment. A message was received from the President, through the hands of his Secretary, announcing that he had approved and signed the resolution passed by Congress returning thanks to Gen. Jackson, his officers and men, for gallant and meritorious conduct in the battle of Kernstown. A number of Senate bills were read by their titles, and appropriately referred. Mr. Gartrell, of Ga., asked the House to take up and consider the bill regulating the compensation and fees of Clerks of Confederate Courts and Marshals Pending the consideration of the bill, an amendment was offered by Mr. Chilton, of Ala., when, upon a vote, it was found no quorum was present. On motion, the

The magnificent railroad bridge, a hundred feet high, over the same stream, was burnt by Jackson when retreating from General Shields. A beautiful gray stallion, said by contrabands to be Colonel Ashby's, was shot yesterday near this town. The ball must of the means resorted to by the Secession leaders to dupe their followers into continued resistance. The expansive railroad bridge at Edinburg was burned by Jackson yesterday. There is only one locomotive at this end of the Manassas road, and no cars. Ashby's cavalry were reinforced to-day by two or more heavy guns, withants, mechanizes and manufacturers from any share in these frauds. At last accounts Col. Carter, in command of the Tennessee Union troops, had possession of Jackson borough, in East Tennessee, having made his advance through what is known as Baptist Gap. Capt. Milward, of Col. Mundly's cavalry battalion, was the first to ente
while seated on my shop board in that memorable year, the proclamation of President Jackson, and felt then, as I do now, that it contained the only doctrine to securhe Government. It was sustained by those master statement, Webster, Clay, and Jackson. I stand now as they stood in the first storm of State; and for this I am and best fabrication of God and men. In 1862 (the year of nullification) Jackson wrote a letter to Mr. Crawford, of Georgia. I invite our attention to it. Whaffort to break up the Government." It is now 29 years since, few differed from Jackson then, as in the preservation of the Union; none can differ now. Were impossiblngle again in the busy scenes of life, I would long since have expected to see Jackson at the seat of Government, and heard him exclaim with that extraordinary fingeina went out on the 22d of February. (What misfortune to the country that Andrew Jackson was not in the Presidential chair in place of James Buchanan, who sat still
