The Daily Dispatch: July 16, 1864., [Electronic resource], article 1 (search)
that Washington was in the hands of the Confederates. If it be true that such a statement was made, it is entitled to no credit, for deserters are not usually to be relied upon. The latest news we have is from the Washington Chronicle of the 13th inst., which will be found in this morning's paper. We learn, in addition, that General Lew Wallace, who was defeated by the Confederates at Monocracy Bridge and fled from the field in confusion, has been relieved of his command and superseded by General Ord. A gentleman from the Northern Neck of Virginia reports that Forts Lincoln and Stephens, which constitute a portion of the defences of Washington, were carried by the Confederates on the 13th. We are not prepared to vouch for the accuracy of this statement, though we see no reason for doubting it. We have it from the best authority that Grant has moved two corps and a large quantity of artillery from the front of Petersburg, and sent them to aid in the defence of Washington.
