Orange Court House (Virginia, United States) (search for this): article 8
go Tribune will well repay perusal, even at this late date: Battle-Field, near Cedar Run, August 10, via Washington, August 11. On Friday last an unexpected movement was made by the combined forces of Jackson, Longstreet and Ewell, upon our advance position along the Rapidan. The evident intention of the different sections of our army at Fredericksburg, Culpeper and Madison, was to move forward upon the fine turnpikes which run from each of those places and concentrate at Orange Court-House. --From this point the united forces of the grand army of Virginia were to advance upon Gordonsville, which is nine miles, distant therefrom.--Jackson foresaw the intention, and determined to prevent it. This he did by a sudden and unexpected movement across the Rapidan upon our centre column before we had time to move our forces, as it had been anticipated we should. While it was his purpose to fight, as he has always managed to do, a detached portion of our army, it was necessary fo

our army, it was necessary for him to delude forthwith the supposition that he was advancing with overwhelming numbers upon us at all points, and from all directions. This he also succeeded in doing to a considerable degree, but as soon as he had produced the impression upon the startled columns that he was about to attack them all, he rapidly concentrated his whole avail force, which he put to bear upon our centre. All day on Friday he was threatening the forces at Madison, on Thoroughfare mountain, at Culpeper, and at the same time pretended to be sending out on the flank of each of these positions a force for the purpose of surrounding and capturing them. By this means the force at Madison, believing their communication with Culpeper to be cut off, were prevented from joining the main column, and retreated to Woodville, and were thus unable to throw their weight into the scale. On the following Saturday the signal station on Thoroughfare not being threatened, a force was dr

ruiting in that neighborhood. He got his horde together — came "like a thief in the night," as a more honest soldier might, and captured the town and its defenders. What a name for such a town--Independence! Lastly, we have a case at Gallatin, Tenn., the exact counterpart of the other two. Here is the story by telegraph: "Morgan entered Gallatin at 4 o'clock A. M., after capturing the sentinels, who were asleep. Col. Boone, the Union commander, was in bed. The surrender was conditGallatin at 4 o'clock A. M., after capturing the sentinels, who were asleep. Col. Boone, the Union commander, was in bed. The surrender was conditional upon parole for officers and men alike, which was granted. Col. Boone has gone to Kentucky." And thus we lost nearly 200 prisoners. They demanded "conditions," and got them — the right of "parole!" This is a mean get off. Morgan never takes prisoners. The scamp would be bored to death with them. He would have to feed and guard them; to move slowly on account of them. This would interfere with his dashing raids, his excitements, and his horse stealings. The sleepy soldiers promis

few days since, on charge of disloyalty, and placed in prison, but were released after taking the oath of allegiance. Clarksville, Tenn., has been captured by the "rebels," as the following dispatches show: Cairo, Ill., August 21. --The rebels, nine hundred strong, under Woodward, occupied Clarksville, Tenn., on Tuesday last. The garrison, consisting of a portion of the 71st Ohio regiment, surrendered, and were paroled. It is reported that the enemy were advancing on Fort Donelson, which had been abandoned by the Union forces in charge, reported to be only 1,500 strong. The post may be considered valueless at present, as the Cumberland river has now only thirty inches of water. Nashville, Aug. 21. --Yesterday afternoon, Capt. Atkinson, the 50th Ohio, with twenty men in a stockade, at Edgefield Junction, was attacked by 1,000 guerrillas. He repulsed them three times, killing Morgan's Adjutant, seven privates, wounding eighteen, and finally, after th

On the following Saturday the signal station on Thoroughfare not being threatened, a force was drawn off from Culpeper to strengthen a detachment threatened by Jackson, between Culpeper and Fredericksburg. It was thought dangerous to advance too far toward the Rapidan, for fear of being out flanked, and so the detachments of the army of Virginia were kept apart to give Jackson an opportunity to choose his own point of attack.

with three hundred men, two cannon, and in strong entrancements at Clarksville, surrendered without resistance to the same number of guerrillas. The guerrillas were aided by rebels who had taken the oath of allegiance. A large amount of United States property was seized and 100 soldiers captured by guerrillas at Mansrow creek, near Edgefield Junction, and the bridge burned. General Nelson left Nashville for Louisville this morning. Russellville, Tenn., Aug. 21. --All th Phelps, Brigadier-General. Headq'rs Department of the Gulf, New Orleans, Aug. 5, 1862.

orth. Intelligence from the North to the 22d inst. says the Indians in Mecker county, Minnesota, exasperated at the non-reception of the money due them from the U. S. Government, attacked the whites in Action, killing several men, women, and children. They also massacred several at the Lower Agency. Miss Clarine Smith, Miss Fanny Hopkins, Miss Florida Neal, Miss Norma Smith, Miss Emeline Neal, Miss Alice Neal, and Mrs. Geo. Neal, Jr., seven ladies of Parkersburg, Va., were sent to Wheeling, a few days since, on charge of disloyalty, and placed in prison, but were released after taking the oath of allegiance.

On our way we stopped three hours in front of Donaldsonville, and shelled and burned the town — making sure destruction of all public and principal buildings. Boats went ashore from the Hartford and Cayuga; not over fifty people made their appearance in the town. Donaldsonville was the capital of theDonaldsonville was the capital of the State until 1847; its population was about 1,500. Capt. Walnwright, commander of the flagship Hartford, is dangerously ill. Brig.-Gen. Clarke has his leg amputated, and has been removed to the house of a personal sympathizer and friend. From his advanced age, the character of the wound, and the heat of the weather, his case is pronounced hopeless. A large number of our wounded in the hospitals here were wounded in the legs, showing that the rebels fired low. The correspond

his command was attacked and made aware of his capture. His friends urge that he has been harshly judged, as he only took command of the post the evening before, and went to a tavern to sleep "because his tent had not arrived." A miserable excuse this. He knew he was in the enemy's country, and should never have slept, or thought of his tent even, till he knew his camp was safe from attack. That first night of insecurity was fatal to him as a commander. Next came the capture of Independence, Mo., by Quantrell's guerrillas. We lost 500 prisoners there. But Independence was "surprised"--it "could not otherwise have been taken." Why surprised? The town stands in a prairie; the eye sweeps the horizon ten miles or more, in every direction. It was known Quantrell was recruiting in that neighborhood. He got his horde together — came "like a thief in the night," as a more honest soldier might, and captured the town and its defenders. What a name for such a town--Independence!
