McClellan (search for this): article 1
The New Yankee raid. The rumors which were so extensively circulated through the streets on Friday and Saturday, regarding the movements of Yankee gunboats, grew out of a "raid" made by the enemy in the lower counties. Between the James and Chickahominy rivers is a narrow strip of country that has heretofore been unmolested. When McClellan's army was driven down the river he did not reach all the plantations, and embarked his men too hurriedly to destroy them. After doing, then, all the damage possible in Gloucester, Mathews, King and Queen, King William, and other counties adjoining, the Yankees turned their attention to this section, and have now sent a force to steal negroes, horses, and poultry, to burn grain, barns, and agricultural implements, and to arrest peaceable farmers who sympathize with the South. There is no doubt this is the whole object contemplated in the advance of the gunboats up the river which occurred on Thursday. The day previous two iron-clads went u

ow, and delays frequent. At every piece of woods or coppice — any shelter behind which sharpshooters could protect themselves, some dozen or more shots were fired to endeavor to dislodge any enemy that might be ambushed. About night they reached Lamb's wharf, and there halted, sending ashore the pontoon and the infantry. Immediately after landing the plundering commenced, and the true object of the expedition was established beyond a doubt. Every movement was telegraphed up the river by the signal corps, and a strict watch kept upon them. The last dispatch on Friday was to this effect: "The Yankee force that landed at Lamb's wharf have marched to Apperson's depot. --They number fourteen hundred and fifty. No cavalry or artillery." Later reports represent them plundering and stealing on all sides, the main attempts seeming to be the capture of negroes, the destruction of storehouses containing grain, and the burning of agricultural implements in order to prevent the ga

From Vicksburg and Port Houses. Progress of the siege — heavy firing at both places — gunboats Jackson, June 10. --Memphis papers, of the 6th, say that Grant is mounting heavy rifled Parrot guns. His parallels are within 350 yards of ours. The Memphis Bulletin says that Grant's sharpshooters command the rebel works. No rebel dare show his head above the paraffin. Sherman commands the right, McPherson the centre, and McClernand the left. The advanced regiments are relieved by fresh troops daily. A Northern dispatch says that Hanter's troops have sailed from Port Royal to reinforce Banks. Nothing further from Port Hudson. But little firing at Vicksburg to-day. It has been raining hard all day. Jackson's cavalry and a skirmish with the enemy at Edwards's Depot. The enemy retired. Our loss was two killed.

All eyes are turned towards Kirby Smith, on whose movements depend, perhaps, the fate of Port Hudson and Vicksburg. A private letter from Clinton, La, dated 8th inst., says that Port Hudson has been exposed to a tremendous fire from the enemy's fleet for the past ten days. The Essex and two other gunboats were so badly damaged that they withdrew from the attack. Incessant firing was heard at Vicksburg this morning. Five prisoners, captured by our cavalry yesterday at Edwards's Depot, arrived here this morning. T
