Louisa Court House (Virginia, United States) (search for this): article 1
sterday was the following dispatch from the correspondent of the Associated Press, which, by the cutting of the telegraph wives, had to come a very circuitous route. It will be seen that it is not later than Gen. Lee's last dispatch, and refers to the same fight alluded to in that: Battle Field, near Spotsylvania C. H.,via Louisa C. H., May 11. There was heavy cannonading all yesterday. About 12 o'clock, the enemy having got possession of the road leading to the main road to Louisa Court House, with a large force, Heth's Division was sent to drive them off, which was accomplished with but slight loss to us. Our troops drove the enemy back some three or four miles, and out of their lines of breastworks, capturing one piece of artillery, one caisson, and some one hundred and fifty prisoners. Among those wounded on our side, was Brigadier General H. H. Walker, of Virginia, whose foot has been amputated. Between 10 o'clock and nightfall the enemy made repeated as

d ten or twelve years ago, full of honors; his mother yet lives to witness with joy the service he is rendering to his country, and the proud fame he has won to be transmitted to posterity. James E B Stuart entered the Military Academy of West Point in the year 1850. Among his contemporaries at that institution were Gens Ambrose Philip, Henry Hath, George H Stuart, T H Holmes, Beverly H Robertson, and N George Evans, and Colonels Seth M Barron Alfred Cumming, and Thos S Rhett, of the Conftiett's Station, where he captured such a vast quantity of stores and gathered up the official correspondence and full dress form coat of the redoubtable John Pupe, Major General U S A. As a cavalry officer Gen. Stuart combines with his regular West Point training much of the lan of Jack Morgan and Turner Ashby. Ready for any enterprise, his military motto seems to be that of the French lender, de l'audace, encore de l'audace, toujours de l'audace. In the old Army Gen Stuart was always pop

The negro troops at Fort Powhatan, on James river, are said to be committing depredations of every character upon the citizens around that point. The raid on the Danville Railroad--depot Burned — Resistance encountered. The raiding party of Yankee cavalry, noticed in this paper yesterday as having crossed the Richmond and Petersburg Railroad the night before en route for the Danville Railroad, struck the latter road at Coalfield about 10 o'clock that night, tearing up the rails and pulling down the telegraph wire. From there they went to Powhatan Station, where they tore up the track and burnt the depot building and water tank. We learn from a telegram from Mr. Jas L Morrow, the Superintendent of the telegraph line on the road, who started on an engine yesterday morning to repair the damage to the line, that they left Powhatan for the Mattoax bridge, over the Appomattox river, 27½ miles from Richmond, and that h

Grant (who seems to be a greater liar than Pops) claims to have won a victory in every fight. On the 9th he telegraphs to Secretary Staunton: "I have advanced my lines twelve miles--Lee is retiring on Richmond." The surrender of Gen. Steele, with 9,000 prisoners and all his artillery and wagons, is published and acknowledged. Banks has been removed from command in Louisiana, and General Canby put in his place. Grant's lying telegrams to Washington had caused gold in New York to fall from 180 to 171.
