Robert E. Lee (search for this): article 1
From the Seat of War. We are yet without any authentic particulars of the great battle at Manassas on Saturday. There a nothing really reliable to be added to the dispatch of Gen. Lee to the President which appeared yesterday. That our forces have obtained a signal triumph over the combined armies of the enemy, there is no room to doubt; but how far this decisive victory has been followed up, was not known up to the hour of going to press last night. Reports, as usual, were abundant and favorable, and if we were to credit one-half that were in circulation last evening, we might reasonably conclude that our army is now in a position to demand the surrender of Washington. In the present condition of affairs, however, these statements are to be received with great allowance. Passengers by the train yesterday afternoon state that it was currently reported at Gordonsville, that the Federal Generals Pope and McDowell had been slightly and banks mortally wounded at Manassas, an

at it was currently reported at Gordonsville, that the Federal Generals Pope and McDowell had been slightly and banks mortally wounded at Manassas, and that Sigel, the Dutch General who figured so conspicuously in the Missouri campaign, had been killed. These reports may be correct, but there is no official information upon which to base them. It was further rumored that we had captured some seven thousand prisoners, all of whom were paroled on the field of battle, and that the corps of Gen. Jackson had advanced as far as Fairfax Court-House. We of course have no means of ascertaining the reliability of these reports, and only give them as we have obtained them. without asking that they be received with the most implicit confidence. Passengers also asserted, with apparent sincerity, that the Yankees had fired the Long Bridge at Washington and blown up the aqueduct at Georgetown; but, as far as or inquiries extended, there was no sufficient grounds upon which to rest these assertio

ens who arrived in this city yesterday, and who have been appointed by the town authorities to acquaint our Government of the fact. Before leaving, they destroyed everything in the way of stores, and set fire to the bridges over the Rappahannock. These were much injured by the explosions which took place during the night, as the fire reached the powder which had been arranged for their destruction.

ith a loss of four or five nightly. A few nights since fourteen horses came in with empty saddles. The enemy have about 15,000 troops at Newport News who came to that point about a week ago. There are two iron-clad steamers at Old Point, besides the Monitor, differing from that vessel in construction; also, six or eight mortar boats. Our informant has seen a letter from one of the crew of a mortar boat, which stated that the fleet was designed for an attack on Drury's Bluff. Between Hampton and Old Point immense wood on sheds had been constructed for hospital purposes covering some 20 acres of ground. These were filled with sick and wounded, numbering thousands. The Minnesota was lying at the old naval anchorage, near Norfolk, with steam up night and day, and her pumps working. It is said she is too leaky to venture to sea from the effects of her encounter with the Virginia last spring. On Thursday week the enrollment of the citizens of Norfolk and Portsmouth commenced
N. York (search for this): article 3
From Norfolk. A gentleman who arrived in this city from Norfolk yesterday, which place he left on Thursday of last week, has given us some account of the condition of affairs there. The Federal force in the city consisted of one company of the 19th Wisconsin regiment for guard duty. Another company of the same regiment was performing line service in Portsmouth. Some three hundred of the 99th N. York regiment were stationed at the Fair Grounds, and abut one hundred at the entrenched camp, 2½ miles from the city. One cavalry company is stationed at Ferry Point, and two cavalry companies are performing picket duty between Portsmouth and Suffolk. There were between 4,000 and 5,000 troops at Suffolk. The enemy's pickets were driven in every night, with a loss of four or five nightly. A few nights since fourteen horses came in with empty saddles.

The Minnesota was lying at the old naval anchorage, near Norfolk, with steam up night and day, and her pumps working. It is said she is too leaky to venture to sea from the effects of her encounter with the Virginia last spring. On Thursday week the enrollment of the citizens of Norfolk and Portsmouth commenced, preparatory to the draft of the Lincoln Government; but Gen. Vicle, the Military Governor, distrusting the citizens, had visited Washington and secured a discontinuance of the enrollment. Gen. V. publicly declares that he does not recognize any one as a gentleman who has voluntarily taken the oath. Business was completely prostrate, no one being allowed to engage in any pursuit who has not taken the eath. There was a rumor on Wednesday and Thursday that the enemy were preparing to evacuate Norfolk. An order had been issued to the sutlers not to in
