The Daily Dispatch: January 25, 1864., [Electronic resource], The reported capture of Gen. Vance. (search)
The reported capture of Gen. Vance. --The telegraph a few days ago reported the capture of Brig. Gen. Vance, of North Carolina, in East Tennessee. A letter from Madison co., N. C., in the Standard, says: He left Asheville, and proceeded through some of the western counties, and crossing the mountains made his way into Sevier county, Tenn. He then came upon a Yankee foraging train, which he captured, and was making his way out when he came upon a blockade in the road on Cosby's creek, which took him some ten or twelve hours to remove. In the meantime, the Yankees started in pursuit of him, and overhauled him on Cosby's creek, at the ford, where they are reported to have almost completely surrounded him, and it is feared that they have succeeded in capturing him and the larger portion of his command. These are such facts as we learned on yesterday from some who made their escape. The statements are very confused and conflicting, and we still hope that the affair is not so
