Wright (search for this): article 5
a short time since, as having been taken up by General Longstreet's orders, and now being in our possession, has, in the last week, been seized by the Yankees and carried, I suppose, to Suffolk. Steps were taken, whilst our army was investing that place, which would have secured to us that much needed article, had not circumstances rendered it necessary for General Longstreet to withdraw his forces sooner than he probably anticipated. On Friday, the 22d inst., the Hampton Legion, with Wright's and one section of Webb's battery, were ordered below here to meet several gunboats, which were reported advancing up the river. Upon reaching Smith's ferry, information was brought them that two had landed at Murfreesboro', stolen and destroyed 10,000 pounds of Government bacon, captured one barrel of brandy, and all hands got drunk and gone down the river rejoining over their spirited achievement. It is currently reported here, and generally believed, that the enemy are evacuating

William Willis (search for this): article 2
The Annual Meeting of the Young Men's Christian Association, just held, was one of marked interest and harmony. The President, William Willis, Jr., presented his annual report, showing that though adverse influences had existed in our midst during the past year, still the course of the association had been onward; and the additions to the membership had exceeded that of any previous year. A "roll of honor' was called, paying a just tribute to those members whose lives had been given upy and from the various divisions of the army, testify to the estimation in which this hospital is held by the soldiers and their friends. The percentage of deaths has been among the smallest of any of the hospitals in the city. The following persons were elected as officers of the Association for the ensuing year: President, Wm. Willis, Jr., Corresponding Secretary, Jas. Gordon; Recording Secretary, J. D. K. Sleight; Treasurer, S. B. Smith; Register, J. E. Burress; Librarian Asa. Snyder.

Mr. Hunt, it seems, had his attention attracted to the sale, when the accused took a stand by his side, and folding his arms, gently lifted Mr. His book from a side pocket. Fortunately for the public, Mr. Thos Clemmitt had his eye on the thief, and seeing the robbery immediately seized the thief, recovered the book and contents, and with the of Mr. Hunt and Mr. Stagg, conveyed him to the lock-up for examination before the Mayor.

ers who take a pride in seeing how well he can do his part. I do not think he is to blame, nor any of the officers or men. It is a thing which has been done before, and will be done again, and the wonder to me is that it has not been performed more frequently by both sides. A trusty guide--one who understands the position of the pickets and the camps to be attacked — a thousand brave men, under a brave officer, and the successful surprise of an outpost camp, is not a hard job, nor are the officers who are surprised necessarily culpable. However, to say the least of it, the expedition was a bold one, and very well executed. It seems of late that the Yankees and ourselves are exchanging modes of fighting — they fighting now as we formerly did, and we as they formerly did. Gens Wheeler and Morgan must look well to their laurels, else they may be taken from them by Maj. Gen. Stanley, Chief of Cavalry of Rosecrans's army — he, I understand, commanding the expedition that attacked
