The Daily Dispatch: August 20, 1861., [Electronic resource], The death of Lord Herbert. (search)
Detention of Lord Lyons' dispatches. --The following, from the St. Louis Bulletin of the 10th, explains a dispatch published a few days since: We have been permitted to make the following extracts from a letter received in this city a few days since. We regard it as entirely reliable: Washington, Aug. 3.--Among the on dits circulated in this city is one of much importance, as showing the wisdom of our premier in conducting foreign negotiations. It appears that the day of the battle of Manassas was that fixed for the sailing of the Cunard steamer. The news at first received was so much in favor of the Federals that certain prominent Northern men raised $1,500 to pay the expenses of detaining the boat till Monday, and telegraphed the arrangement to this city. When the tide of battle turned, and it became evident that "Forward to Richmond" meant "Back to the Potomac," an imperative message was sent by the authorities here to send the steamer off immediately. She

her at Richmond. Grant has established a garrison of about 3,000 men at Natchez. Wirt Adams's scouts bring intelligence that Banks attacked Dick Taylor at Donaldsonville on the 23d ult, and was defeated, with a loss of 6,000, including 4,000 prisoners; and that Taylor's and Magruder's forces have since united on the Teche river, which, if true, will enable Taylor to place in position the seige guns captured at Thibodaux, and blockade the river below. [Second Despatch] Morton, Aug. 3 --The latest advices from the Mississippi river represent the river as swarming with gunboats and transports above Vicksburg. Eight gunboats and ten transports were counted between Vicksburg and Natchez last Friday. This does not prevent communication with the trans Mississippi Department. Accounts from that side are cheering, but contraband. The enemy have placed a garrison of 2,500 men at New Carthage. Logan is watching their movements, the enemy will hear from him soon.
The Daily Dispatch: August 12, 1863., [Electronic resource], Department of the West. (search)
Department of the West. --We learn from a very recent correspondence, (Morton Miss, August 3,) of the Atlanta Appeal, that some important changes have been made in the department of the West. Gen. Johnston, in compliance with a long-standing request on his part, has been released from the charge of affairs in East Tennessee. Bragg is now in full command there, while Johnston devotes himself to Mississippi, Alabama, East Louisiana and West Tennessee. The arrangement heretofore existing was very cumbersome.--Generals Bragg, Maury and Pemberton had special charge of the departments to which they were assigned, while Johnston had nominally, or more properly, advisory charge of all. It was his mission to take special command in any of the departments when peculiar danger threatened. The correspondent adds: Probably no two Generals have precisely the same ideas as to the proper disposition of armies for offensive and defensive war. Without venturing into particulars which migh
The Daily Dispatch: August 4, 1864., [Electronic resource], article 1 (search)
From Petersburg. Petersburg, August 3. --Yesterday and to-day there was an unusual quiet along our lines. There was no shelling and scarcely any picked firing. Nearly all of the force that Grant sent to the north side of James river has returned to our front. It is supposed that Grant is busy sapping and mining at other points. Deserters who entered our lines yesterday say there is great dissatisfaction and complaint in the Yankee army over the results of Saturday.
