Henry Myers (search for this): article 1
Arrest of a mail Robber. --The mail carrier between Pittsylvania C. H. and Lynchburg (a distance of sixty miles) has been arrested by Deputy Marshal Henry Myers and brought to this city for trial, for very extensive depredations on the mails. The offender in a lad about fifteen years old, named George Melton, and his parents reside in Lynchburg. The great amount of money lost on his route first drew attention to his irregular proceedings — a good deal of money being sent home by soldiers on the Peninsula to their families and never coming to hand. On search being made, hundreds of letters, rifled of their contents, were found in various localities along his route. Deputy Marshal Myers secured a carpet sack full as evidence in the case, and brought them along with the prisoner to this city. It would appear from the age of the boy that the contractor was wrong in the first place in committing such a grave responsibility to his keeping. That he was wrong, the sequel shows.

tain Latham's battery sustained a loss of twenty-seven killed, and all the guns were-captured. During this period, Forts Allen and Ellis remained quiet. The fleet then approached within point blank range, when Capt. Edetin received orders from Col.

Before retiring, however, the Maryland boys blew up the magazine and destroyed the guns. Captain Mayo, who had command of Fort Ellis, also blew up his magazine and dismounted his guns, but lost one of his eyes and had a leg broken by the explosion. It is supposed that he was captured.

Our loss will not exceed 500 killed, wounded, and prisoners, while that of the enemy was acknowledged to be 1,200. The statement that the enemy commenced shelling the town while the women and children were running about frantic with fear, is confirmed. All the cotton in the place, with most of the Government stores, and several houses, including the Washington Hotel, were destroyed by fire, in pursuance of orders.

They then approached opposite Fort Thompson and opened fire from the boats, which was kept up until night. The force in this fort consisted of two companies of North Carolina troops, commanded by Captains Whitford and Herring. The loss during the day was four men wounded. On Friday morning, the 14th, the Yankees commenced the attack upon our lines at seven o'clock, and were repulsed three times successively by our infantry, with the assistance of Fort Thompson. The fight lasted till ten minutes past 10 o'clock A. M., when the enemy flanked our forces on the right, which caused a panic amongst the militias.

The battle at Newbern--Authentic particulars. We had an interview last evening with Capt. Edept, of Company "B." 1st Maryland regiment, who arrived yesterday from North, Carolina, on official business. It will be remembered that the gallant company commanded by Capt. E., after re-enlisting for the war, came to Richmond from Manassas on furlough of sixty days, about the time of the surrender of Roanoke Island, and that every man at once relinquished his furlough and proceeded to North Carolina, to aid in resisting the advance of the Federal army into the interior. They were stationed in Fort Allen during the time of the fight at Newbern, and rendered efficient service. The following particulars are furnished by Capt. Edelin, and may be relied upon: The enemy, with fifty-six gunboats, approached Newbern on Wednesday, and dropped anchor for the night some twenty miles below the town.
