The Daily Dispatch: July 9, 1863., [Electronic resource], Gen. Lee's army — later from the North. (search)
Gen. Lee's army — later from the North. The only intelligence we have heard of reaching the city was from an officer of the Signal Corps stationed on the lower James, who had been fortunate enough to have an opportunity of reading Northern papers of the 6th. This officer telegraphs to the War. Department that there journals state that not one word had been heard from Gen. Meade's army since the 4th, and that they contain nothing whatever with reference to the great battles which have taken place at Gettysburg. The same officer alluded to telegraphs that the papers of the 6th speak despondingly of the situation of Gen. Banks in Louisiana.--From Vicksburg they had no later intelligence than that contained in their issues of the 4th. Among the rumors which got loose yesterday day was one to the effect that Vice President Stephens had been informed at Fortress Monroe that Lee's army was in full retreat.

per to go aboard. The officers were very much depressed, and spoke very little to the Confederates in charge of the prisoners. The only fact they stated was that Sickles had died from his wound, and that up to Saturday night Meade, the Commander in Chief of the Army of the Potomac, had not been wounded.--Sickles's right leg was amputated below the knee, but the operation was so unskillfully performed that a second amputation became necessary. During the latter operation he died. The Herald, of Saturday last, promised an extra Sunday morning, in which it expected to announce the capture of Port Hudson by Banks; the fall of Vicksburg; the Bagging of Bragg's army by Rosecrans, and the utter rout of Lee's ragged rebels by the invincible veterans of Meade. It is very likely that the extra was not issued. One of our exchanged Confederate prisoners says he heard a Federal tell a friend at Fortress Monroe that Meade had lost 40,000 men in the battles of Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.

Wednesday and Thursday. On Friday we charged his works, and took them, but were unable to hold them, and fell back towards. Hagerstown, eighteen miles from Gettysburg, and seven miles from the Potomac. There has been but little fighting since then So far the victory is on our side.

Victories in Mississippi. Osterbans defeated at the big Black — Gen Banks routed at Port Hudson. Jackson, Miss, July 7. --Gen. Loring attacked Gen. Osterhaus yesterday, near Edwards's Depot, this side of the Big Black, and after 'three hours' hard fighting drove him across the river. Our loss is reported heavy. An officer from the vicinity of Port Hudson says Gen Dick Taylor crossed the Mississippi, under cover of our guns, last Saturday. He and Gardner then attacn.

t was alleged that he was incompetent, and owed his appointment to the fact of being the President's brother-in-law. He has, nevertheless, turned out to be one of the most enterprising and successful Generals in the service. He seems to be a regular chip of the old block,--a genuine son of old Rough and Ready, inheriting all his father's energy and perseverance, and no small share of his good fortune. If the telegraph speaks the truth, the last stroke of Gen. Taylor was a master. If he has really routed Banks, and is on his way to join Johnston, he may be the means of compensating, in some degree, for the disaster of Vicksburg. Gen. Loring seems to be gathering new laurels in Mississippi. His exploit in repulsing the attack of Osterhaus is the only gleam of light that we have from the immediate vicinity of Vicksburg. We are glad to see that there is some vitality left in the army that was expected to make an effort for the relief of that unfortunate but glorious city.
