Ransom (search for this): article 1
The recent affair at Suffolk. Additional particulars of the fight at Suffolk last Wednesday show that it was a perfect rout of the enemy. Gen. Ransom advanced on the town about 10 o'clock in the morning and chased in the negro pickets.--A regiment of negro cavalry was stationed in the town, which dismounted after the first fire and scattered in all directions. Many were killed in the streets. Several took refuge in a house in the eastern part of the place, and refusing to surrender the house was fired. One got out during the burning, discharging his musket at our men as he came out. He was instantly killed.--The three who remained were consumed in the flames.

The camps and quartermaster stores were destroyed. Several of the negroes who enlisted in Suffolk were cut down at the very doors of their form

dred thousand men; but he was beaten more shamefully than any General had been beaten before in the history of modern warfare. Gettysburg was won is spite of the President's arrangements made to the contrary, and Lee was permitted by another of the President's Generals to escape across the Potomac with the broken and dispirited remnant of an army that had expected to end the war in our Northern cities. Meade is still retained in his position by the President, though the escape of Lee in July proved his utter incompetency as a commander Pope, Burnside, Hooker, and Meade — this is the list of the President's Generals. The first three names represent a slaughter of sixty thousand men. Not one of these men gained a point that brought us any nearer to the end of the war.

The New York Herald, of the 10th, has a jeremiad over the failure of the Yankee plans It says: From the period of the removal of Gen. McClellan--beginning with Burnside's movement to Fair mouth and the disastrous battle at Fredericksburg, and ending with the disaster at Olustee, in Florida, and the recent miserable raid toward Richmond — the war on this side the country has been conducted by the President and a coterie of military advisers at Washington city. Under this direction disaster has followed disaster with such pitiless persistency, we have had so many and such terrible failures, that despite our glorious triumphs in t

In addition, Gillmore has failed at Charleston, Seymour has failed in Florida, Butler has failed on the Peninsula, and Kilpatrick has nearly brought our soldiers into contempt. After such a record as this, is it any wonder that the country has finally lost all fait in the Administration's management of the war, and has come to the conclusion that the President and his advisers are utterly, absolutely, and irreclaimably incompetent to conduct even the most inconsiderable military operation?
