The Daily Dispatch: November 8, 1862., [Electronic resource], Strange and yet true. (search)
Gen. Echols's command. We learn that our forces under Gen. Echols, in the Kanawha Valley, have fallen back to the Falls some distance above the town of Charleston. It is stated that this move of Gen. Echols was made upon the representations of a Yankee spy, who palmed himself off for a Federal officer. He entered the camp of Gen. Echols and surrendered himself up as a prisoner, stating to the General that a large Federal force was coming up in his rear by way of Nicholas Court-House; and upon the statements of this man Gen. S. was induced to retire from his former position. It subsequently transpired that this party was a Yankee spy, and was no doubt sent for the object which he so successfully effected. He is said to have had upon his person quite a number of Confederate bills, which was discovered in time to secure his arrest, and he is now in the hands of the military.
