The Daily Dispatch: June 27, 1863., [Electronic resource], article 13 (search)
The Yankee raid near Richmond.bridges burntcapture of Gen. W. H. F. Lee. The reports of the progress of the Yankee raid from the White House yesterday came into the city fact and furious, and it is remarkable to note that they were in very few cases exaggerated, except with regard to the numbers of the foe. There was no excitement, and we may safely assert that there never was a duller day here. Everybody was cool, and everybody, except those who were in militia organizations, were attending to their every day business as usual. The day has passed when Richmond can be stirred up by the news of a Yankee raid. On Thursday evening a portion of the Federal troops — about 1,200--left the White House on the road to Hanover Court-House, and upon arriving camped for the night on Colonel Wickham's farm. Thursday night, at a late hour, the rest of the troops at the White House left in the same direction, and passed Old Church about breakfast time. It is believed by some that both

nkees started in the direction of the bridge on the Fredericksburg road, but on being informed by a citizen, who was a prisoner of theirs, that we had two brigades at that point and Hanover Junction, they turned their course, and marched back in the direction of the White House, passing Hanover Court House only a few minutes before the arrival of our reinforcements. The gentleman who gave them the information with reference to our forces at the Junction, says they told him they had a cavalry force of 1,200, and a large infantry force at the White House and neighborhood, and they boasted of their intention to take Richmond last night or to-day. Whilst in Hanover they went to the residence of Col. Wickham, where they captured Gen. W. H. F. Lee, who has been there since he was wounded in the battle of Brandy Station on the 9th. They conveyed him away in the carriage of Col. W., which they stole. They also burned the line barn of Col. Wickham, and one or two other out-buildings.

Maryland as the feat of war.--her exemption Papers dispatched. A few days since, just before Lee announced his northward march, the Baltimore American, an object abolition sheet, published a two columned editorial, pointing with malignant exultation to the desolation that had visited Virginia during the war, and congratulates Maryland on having "remained loyal" to the United States, and thus secured by its protection complete immunity from the horrors of war upon her own soil. The latest advices from Maryland show that the Confederates in large force are fortifying their position, and that for a time at least that State will find that its, "great protector. "is powerless to save it. The article from the American is fresher and more appropriate to-day than the day it was published, and decidedly more interesting to the Confederate reader. We give an extract; The people of Maryland in the hurry of great events, and in the sense of almost absolute security which has been ext

oped itself. It is two-fold — to plunder and devastate, and to interrupt the communications of Gen. Lee with this city. They hope that by destroying the railroad bridges and tearing up the track then in his rear, which may induce him to weaken his army by detaching troops to restore them. If Gen. Lee be the General that his deeds seem to proclaim him, he will not be diverted from his purpose bye, therefore, what the Emperor Napoleon said with regard to situations identical with that of General Lee at this moment. The Baron Jamini, in his work upon the art of war, had censured the distant e were interrupted, he first disposed of the enemy in his front and then cleared the line. Gen. Lee is a great General, and according to the axiom of Colonel Napier, he will do as Napoleon did, fss. In general, he thought it best to leave them to the care of the inhabitants. That is what Gen. Lee has done, and we should take care that they be protected as far as possible, until he shall hav

eir crimes visited upon the Yankees we have not a doubt, as we believe in the justice of Providence. We are inclined to the opinion that the present movement of Gen. Lee will be the means of administering an instalment of the debt due to them. Of course anything that the great man who commands the Army of the Potomac does will bhout due attention. The Yankees knowing the enormity of their own offences dread a righteous judgment, and hence their terror at the bare announcement that General Lee had taken up the line of march towards their country. While he moves, the fires of our Southern homes and manufactories are illuminating our Southern skies. They may well tremble at every report of the ravages of the robbers and murderers they have sent amongst us. Yet General Lee is both deliberate and determined, and in the measures it may be in his power to take he will have in view alike a just retaliation and the safety and welfare of his army. We may confidently expect this from
