The Daily Dispatch: October 10, 1863., [Electronic resource], Reported Raid. (search)
Reported Raid. --A vague report prevailed in Lynchburg Monday, to the effect that a Yankee raiding party was approaching the salt works from Cumberland Gap. If the rumor be true, the Virginian thinks the public need feel no alarm. The works are defended by a strong force, with ample reinforcements in easy reach. Besides, the place is well fortified by casemates, fieldworks, and rifle pits. It is also naturally very strong, being surmounted by a cordon of high hills and mountains, upon which commanding positions can be taken. The approaches to the salt basin are through narrow defiles and passes, where the advantages of defence are incalculable. No fears need be felt for the safety of that important point, except from an advance of the enemy in very large force.
