The Daily Dispatch: April 25, 1864., [Electronic resource], Additional particulars from the Plymouth fight. (search)
From Trans Mississippi. Mobile, April 23. --Western dispatches report that Banks is retreating on Natcher, and Gen. Taylor pursuing. Transports are coming out of Red river loaded with wounded. It is reported that we captured fourteen gunboats that were aground above the Red river falls. Official news has been received of the capture of a gunboat on the Yazoo river carrying eight 24 pounders. Her guns and stores were removed, and the boat burnt. [Second Dispatch.] Demopolis, April 23. --A dispatch from Canton, 22d, says: Gen. Taylor captured 7,000 prisoners, 400 negroes, and 19 pieces of artillery in Louisiana. Two hundred and twelve Federal prisoners, captured by Forrest at Fort Pillow, and by Cols. Ives and Jackson near Florence, were brought here to-day.
The Daily Dispatch: April 25, 1864., [Electronic resource], Gen. W. F. Smith alias old Baldy. (search)
Baldy. --We find the following in the Rochester (N. Y.) Democrat: The reference in the telegraphic column to Gen. W. F. Smith as "Old Badly," may not be generally understood. Being in his division, in Franklin's corps, nearly a year, we always noticed his designation as "Old Baldy" by the West Pointers, the General being bald headed. In the "History of the 33d New York Volunteers" is an account of Gen. McClellan's visit to the picket reserve, in a ravine near the Chickahominy, with Gens. Porter, Gorman, Smith and others. While there, McClellan having divested himself of his coat climbed a tall tree overlooking the plateau toward Richmond, only five miles distant. On coming down he approached Gen. Smith and remarked, "Old Baldy, we've got them!" How well we had "got them" the sequel showed. In less than 48 hours Jackson and his cohorts pounced with resist less fury upon the right of our army, and shortly after we commenced the disastrous retreat to Harrison's Landing.
