Braxton Bragg (search for this): article 2
Military change. General Braxton Bragg, hitherto commanding general, with his headquarters at Richmond, has been relieved, and goes at once to take command of an important military post in one of the more southern States.
North Carolina (North Carolina, United States) (search for this): article 3
From Wilmington. From a gentleman just from Wilmington we learn that the blockade of that port is as effective as Yankee ingenuity and an unlimited force of gunboats can make it. They have now established two lines of picket boats in the offing to give the alarm of the attempted egress of blockade- runners, and as soon as the latter make their appearance, the boats throw up rockets and burn blue lights. The Yankee arrangements for blockading the port are good, and will hold so perhaps a month longer, when they will all be swept away by the rude blasts of winter. This North Carolina coast is, in winter, the most dangerous in the world; and when winter, sets in the blockaders must stand off to sea, or they will inevitably be blown ashore and wrecked.

d, as we find by the following Washington telegram, dated the 14th: A gang of Mosby's guerrillas, in strong force, yesterday made an attack on the outer picket of the Second District of Columbia regiment, stationed at White Plains, on the Manassas railroad. The guard of eight men were captured, and the officer in command was shot in several places and abandoned to his fate. Two privates of the Sixth Pennsylvania heavy artillery were killed by guerrillas yesterday between Accotink and Burke's station. The fright he has caused among the laborers may be inferred from the following paragraph in the Washington Star: Forty-seven employees of the Quartermaster's Department were imprisoned yesterday for refusing to assist in clearing the Manassas Gap railroad of timber and buildings made use of by the guerrillas, the recent operations of the rebels along the road rendering it extremely dangerous to venture out unless provided with a formidable escort.

be still at Booneville. The Union troops garrisoning several small detached locations have been withdrawn and concentrated at Macon. In a speech which Price recently made to the people of Boonsville, he told them that if they did not now rally to his standard, it was the last time he would come into the State to "relieve" them, but that if they came promptly forward to his support, he would remain among them. Stringent orders relative to the approaching election have been issued by General Rosecrans. Rapid rise in gold. In New York, on Friday, gold jumped nine cents, and after touching two hundred and seventeen, closed at two hundred and fifteen and a half. The Herald, in its commercial column, says: The rapid advance in gold created a good deal of excitement in commercial circles yesterday, and nearly all kinds of merchandise were held considerably higher, and some kinds of domestic produce sold at a big advance. The rise in gold was attributed to several causes

hant majority. The speaker then read, much to the amusement of the audience, a batch of letters to prove that General McClellan had been retarded in his movements while in command of the army by feelings of jealousy, and that others had been placed in his position by the powers that be to his detriment. He, General McClellan, had done all in his power, said the speaker, to advance the army, but insurmountable barriers had been placed in his way to a successful prosecution of his plans. He said that two years ago he had ventured the assertion that if General McClellan should be nominated for the Presidency he would vote for him; he was glad that soon he would have an opportunity to fulfill this pledge. We are here to-night, sich a number of voices responded "No, no." But, said he, Mr. Lincoln's Administration is soon to close, and that of General McClellan will then commence; then we may look for peace, prosperity and happiness as a people.--The speaker continued at som

istrict. This does not make any change in our table, but leaves it twelve Democrats and twelve Republicans. The additional Democratic gain is nearly six hundred, making the total gain over last year's vote, sixteen thousand three hundred and forty-three. If the balance of the counties gain in the same proportion, the Democratic majority on the home vote will be between five and six thousand. A telegram from Philadelphia says: The following returns are official; First district--Randall's (Democrat) majority, 4,167. Second district--O'Neill's (Union) majority, 4,169. Third district--Myers's (Union) majority, 1,105. Fourth district--Kelley's (Union) majority, 3,279. From information received here this morning it is absolutely impossible to determine how the State has gone until the reception of official returns.--Both parties claim small majorities; but unexpected results in heavy northern Union counties render it scarcely possible to overcome the large Democratic ga

Sir: I enclose herewith an affidavit showing the employment of one hundred and ten (110) United States colored soldiers by the militaal at Dutch Gap, and put them at hard labor, and shall continue to add to their number until this practice is stopped.

Around Richmond — silence about the repulse of Thursday--retaliation by Butler. It is quite significant that the Herald has not one word in it about the bloody repulse which the Yankees sustained before Richmond on Thursday; nor do its readers know that there was a fight on that day. A letter from before Petersburg says: An important reconnaissance was made on last Tuesday night from our extreme left by two hundred and fifty men of the Thirteenth Pennsylvania cavalry, under Major McCabe. They passed the enemy's cavalry pickets without being discovered, and proceeded to Stony Creek and Rowanty stations, the latter of which places is two miles beyond the extreme right of the rebel army. The expedition successfully returned, after making considerable captures and gaining much valuable information. It was ascertained that the rebels have, on the extremity of their right wing, at Stony creek, seven thousand cavalry and infantry, strongly entrenched. Some deserters fr

The elections--Pennsylvania still in doubt. The Pennsylvania election seems to be still in doubt. A dispatch from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, on the 14th, says that returns received there secure the State to the Democrats on the home vote by about ten thousand majority. The Herald says: The election returns from Pennsylvania last night showed additional Democratic gains. The Democrats have gained a congressman in the Fifth district on the home vote by thirty-eight majority.--The Republicans have gained one in the Twelfth district, if the official vote sustains the reported majority in two counties of the district. This does not make an
