Drewry's Bluff (Virginia, United States) (search for this): article 2
--Occasional firing has been heard to-day in rear of Westover, Charles City county. The train of wagons at Berkeley has greatly increased since yesterday. It extends for miles, and is distinctly seen from Prince George shore. Some estimate the number at over one thousand. Several fugitives from McClellan's army were arrested on this side of the river to day. Five have just been brought in and lodged in the Petersburg jail. Others were arrested near Bermuda Hundreds, and taken to Drewry's Bluff. All of them say that McClellan is badly worsted. The enemy abandoned Curlos's Neck, Tuesday night, leaving twenty pieces cannon, several hundred boxes of fixed and other ammunition, and a vast amount of commissary and other stores. Persons living in the vicinity represent the army as sadly discomfited, broken down, and exhausted.--Many of the Yankees were buried at Shirley, and several of the wounded were left there. The gun boats are still hovering about Berkeley, and shell

"Chester, July 3, 1862. "Mr. E. W. Orr, just from the Hundreds, reports no gunboats above City Point; all having gone to Westover. The Yankee troops have all passed down the same direction. They left a great many wounded and sick at Shirley, besides a large lot of stores, &c. A great many of the Federals were driven from Shirley by the Confederate troops, and escaped over into Eppes's Island. Heavy firing was heard down the river this morning." Eppes's Island is opposite CityShirley by the Confederate troops, and escaped over into Eppes's Island. Heavy firing was heard down the river this morning." Eppes's Island is opposite City Point, and separated from the main land (Shirley) by a marsh, which is overflowed at high tide. It must have been a difficult task for the retreating Yankees to reach the Island under the circumstances, and we shall not be surprised to hear that many of them published in the attempt. Among the prevalent rumors yesterday evening was one that 7,000 of the enemy had been captured below Curl's Neck, but we were unable to trace it to any authentic source. Persons coming from the last battle

Russia (Russia) (search for this): article 3
The idea is strengthened by the tenor of several editorials of leading journals of Paris and London; the former, (very probably with Government assent,) urging intervention, and the latter favoring it earnestly, but advising, for prudential considerations, that France lead in the matter. The leading one of these prudential considerations being the alleged greater popularity of the Emperor and France with the United States than Her Majesty's Government. The Times suggests that the Czar of Russia united with the Emperor in the offer of mediation. The Times shows that England will back the Emperor in whatever he may do. It says: "All that we can now say has already been said by our politicians and by the press. The speeches of two or three Cabinet Ministers, and the too well known opinions of almost every man of note in either House, are equivalent to anything that the French Emperor can disclose to the Americans by a formal offer of mediation." We adverted a day or two since t

Hamer as aide-de-camp, and was brevetted Captain for gallant conduct in several conflicts at Monterey, in March, 1847, he was appointed Assistant Adjutant General, with the rank of Captain. At the National Bridge he distinguished himself, and was brevetted Major; and at Chapellepec, he again attracted attention by his gallant and meritorious conduct, and was brevetted Lieutenant-Colonel. At the close of the war with Mexico he withdrew from the service, and soon afterward emigrated to California. The outbreak of the rebellion found him there, and he was one of the first of the old West Pointers who offered his services to the Government. He was one of the first batch of Brigadier-Generals of volunteers appointed by President Lincoln on 17th May, 1861; and was, on his arrival, placed in command of a brigade of the army of the Potomac, and subsequently of a division. From July, 1861. to February, 1862. he was stationed in Southern Maryland, on the north shore of the Potomac, his

fully prepared for a dash upon the Yankees whenever opportunity offers. The wounded. A train arrived at the York River depot about 12 o'clock Wednesday night, bringing a considerable number of our wounded; among them Lieut. Col. Kane of Georgia, who had a leg shattered by a ball. They were all removed to the hospitals and private residences as early as practicable yesterday. morning. The body of Col. Mears, of the 3d North Carolina regiment, who was shot through the head on Tuesday, n of a torpedo. An incident occurred on Tuesday, some eight miles below Richmond, south of the railroad, which proves that the enemy did not neglect to leave behind them some of the means of annoyance, and even danger, to our men. A party of Georgia soldiers were resting near a well, into which a good many muskets had been thrown. One of the number arose to walk a short distance, when an explosion took place immediately under his feet. The poor fellow was severely burnt, but some gentleme

He is a son of Governor Nathaniel Pope, of Virginia, who went to Kentucky before the birth of John, and, after living in Kentucky a few years removed to Illinois John, the son, entered the West Point Academy in 1838.

On the 1st of July, 1862 he took the actual rank of Captain in the corps of Topographical Engineers, and on the 17th of May, 1861, was made a Brigadier-General of volunteers. His brilliant movement in Central Mississippi tended as much as anything to restores place to that State, and his brilliant of New led to the evaluati
Maine (Maine, United States) (search for this): article 8
have no direct authority for saying that the White House will soon cease to be the point of the particular interest which it at present has, as the base of the army of the Potomac, yet I am left to infer as much from a variety of reasons. The breaking up of the hospitals there, by sending away the large number of patients in the vicinity, may not be proof in itself of su intention, though such fact, taken in connection with others, might go to strengthen such a supposition. To day the State of Maine arrived, with between 300 and 400 invalids, but few of them wounded, to be followed by 1,200 or 1,500 more. This may be simply a measure of reform, resulting from a new regime, while it may be that it may be something more. Prudent men, especially since the recent rains, have felt that the White House was a position too much exposed to be the depot of so much property as the Confederates would be able to destroy by a successful attack. A general removal from White House to West Po

Fight between Maryland and Massachusetts Yankees. We have been furnished with an extract of a letter written in Beaufort county, N. C. near Newbern, and dated June 29, 1862, which contains a piece of information which we deem highly important. We give below the extract as furnished us, and think its statements may be relied upon: "I have just heard from Barrington's. A fight occurred in Newbern, in which Massachusetts and Maryland soldiers became involved. A regiment of each became upon: "I have just heard from Barrington's. A fight occurred in Newbern, in which Massachusetts and Maryland soldiers became involved. A regiment of each became engaged; 300 of the New England men were said to have been killed and 150 of the Marylanders. The disturbance arose about the negroes within the lines there. The Massachusetts men proposed to send a lot of them to Cabe for sale. It was opposed by the Marylanders. Since hearing the above, Mr, F. P. Letham confirms the report."
