Gloucester Point (Virginia, United States) (search for this): article 1
Attack on Gloucester Point. Information has reached this city that a detachment of our cavalry had attacked the Abolition forces congregated at Gloucester Point at day break Sunday morning. The firing was represented to have been very heavy from the commencement of then till near 8 o'clock, when it gradually slackened. The result was not known. The Yankees had some seven hundred runaway negroes at work on the Point, and this was an additional incentive to our men to capture it. Attack on Gloucester Point.

Baylor (search for this): article 2
The African regiment bill. From information recently received from the Valley it seems that the policy of the Yankee Government for arming the negroes is about being put into execution in that section. It is stated that a negro regiment is stationed at New Creek, in Hampshire county, guarding the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. In an engagement some two weeks ago, near Kerneysville, Jefferson county, between a squad of Capt. Baylor's company and a detachment of Yankee cavalry, a free negro was killed at the head of the Yankee columns. He is represented as having taken a very active part in the fight, and being recognized by some of our men, was made an especial object for the aim of their revolvers.

Boyle (search for this): article 3
rings the information that Lincoln's emancipation proclamation has wrought a very great change in public sentiment, and that many who were heretofore decided Union men are now strong for the South. It will be remembered that some months ago gentlemen, for the privilege of taking the Yankee oath of allegiance, were charged, according to their ability to pay, from $50 up $5,000, and where they could not pay the money property to the amount levied was taken. A few weeks ago, in fright at the present state of public feeling. General Boyle issued an order that all who had taken pay should refund the money or property. The Lincoln Marshal in Bourbon county, who had taken the property of a gentleman, was called upon by the owner for its restoration. The Marshal being unable to refund, the gentleman at once had him arrested and imprisoned, and last accounts he was still in limbo. This shows that a great revolution has taken place, and that we yet have much to hope for in Kentucky.
Lincoln (search for this): article 3
Good news from Kentucky. A gentleman who came out of the heart of Kentucky, a few days ago, brings the information that Lincoln's emancipation proclamation has wrought a very great change in public sentiment, and that many who were heretofore decided Union men are now strong for the South.

Dahlgren (search for this): article 4
sioned by the appearance of two coal barges. She is now being raised. From the following description of her in Harper's Weekly, it will be seen that she will make quite an acquisition to the Confederate Navy: The Indianola, Lt-Commander Geo. Brown, is a vessel of the following dimensions: Length. 170 feet; beam 60 feet; depth of hold, 7 feet; and will draw, when ready for action, about six feet of water. She is propelled by four independent engines, two attached to the wheels and two to the propellers. She has four high pressure boilers, and with this great steaming power it is expected that she will run against the current about thirteen miles an hour. She is covered with two-inch rolled plates. She has one stationary turret, with sloping sides. She carries two 11-inch Dahlgren guns in the Turrell, and several 21-pounder guns in the broadside. She has also a powerful ram, and with her great power she will no doubt prove a very destructive vessel among the rebel craft.
Brent (search for this): article 4
The capture of the Indianola and her Reported loss. The expedition which captured the Federal Iron-clad Indianola, consisted of the Webb and Queen of the West, all commanded by Major Brent--They came up with her about five miles below New , at 9 o'clock at night. The enemy were not aware of our approach until our vessels were in about one half a mile of her, when she rounded broadside to, having a coal barge alongside to protect her. The Queen of the West put on all steam and ran into the Indianola, cutting the coal barge in two and injuring the machinery of the enemy materially, when the action on both sides became general. The Webb then butted at full speed, when the enemy, being much damaged and in a sinking condition, was run ashore on the Louisiana side. The Dr. Baley coming up just at this time, was ordered to board the enemy and as she approached, the Indianola surrendered. The officers and crew, numbering about one hundred and twenty men, were all taken prisoners. An

the West was sent up to Vicksburg to procure mechanics to repair damages. Our loss was two killed and five wounded. That of the enemy was unknown. It will be remembered that the Indianola has since been nearly destroyed by our own people, in a panic occasioned by the appearance of two coal barges. She is now being raised.
