New Bridge (Pennsylvania, United States) (search for this): article 1
dge across the Chickahominy was covered with hewn logs so as to admit the passage of horses over it. Upon crossing he destroyed the bridges, marched up to Mechanicville, and then struck into the range of hills formerly occupied by McClellan as a camping ground.--Their train of wagons was about a mile long. Thursday night they camped about seven miles below the city, and yesterday they reached Bottom's bridge, which they burnt. Before reaching this bridge they drove in our pickets at New bridge, and burnt that. They then continued on their way down towards the river. The prisoners of this party, of whom thirty-one were brought in yesterday, represent that it was a picked command, intended for the capture of the city, and seem at a loss to account for the failure to assault the works. It is more than probable that Sheridan has gone to the river to cross over and join Butler, as the road he has taken will bring him to the river in the vicinity of City Point. List of
South River (Virginia, United States) (search for this): article 1
re absorbed with the Atlantic telegraph and other exciting matters of the "piping times of peace," Col Sumner encountered a force of three hundred braves of the Cheyenne tribe strongly posted upon Solomon's Fork of the Kansas river, and, after a sharp struggle, put them to flight in great disorder. In this combat Lieut. Stuart was severely wounded. At the outbreak of the present war, Lieut Stuart lost no time in resigning his commission and offering his sword to the cause of his native South. It is unnecessary to refer to his exploits since that time. They have been most effectively laid before the public in a brilliant series by our daily journalists. With his rapid rise from a Colonelcy to the command of a brigade, and soon after to the rank of a Major General of cavalry, our readers are familiar. Perhaps the most striking and successful of all his expeditions were the Pamunkey raid through McClellan's lines, in which but one man, the gallant and lamented Captain Latane, w
Cassel (Hesse, Germany) (search for this): article 6
Elector of Hesse Cassel, who, happening to be in want of a confidential agent for various open and secret purposes, appointed the shrewd looking Mayor Anselm to the post. The Serene Elector being compelled soon after to fly his country, Mayor Anselm took charge of his cash, amounting to several millions of florins. With the instinct of his race, Anselm did not forget to put the money out on good interest, so that before Napoleon had gone to Elba, and the illustrious Elector had returned to Cassel, the capital had more than doubled. The ruler of Hesse-Cassel thought it almost a marvel to get his money safely returned from the Jew lane of Frankfort, and at the Congress of Vienna was never tired of singing the praise of his Hebrew agent to all the princes of Europe. The dwellers under the sign of the Red Shield laughed in their sleeves, keeping carefully to themselves the great fact that the Electoral two millions of florins had brought them four millions of their own.

Georgia (Georgia, United States) (search for this): article 5
remarkable matters came to light. Mr. Briggs, though the actor in the conspiracy against Hilton was not much to blame, it would seem. He was made to believe by Chalker that Mr. Hilton was actually engaged in shipping machinery to the South, and thus his repugnance to the proceeding was somewhat abated. After the departure of the rebel agents Mr. Chalker became still more intimate with Mr. Briggs, and took him to his house in Hoboken, and kept him; and when Mr. Brigg's family came on from Georgia, also took them there. Mr. Briggs was desirous of going to General Dix and stating the circumstances in reference to Mr. Hilton, but as he was under Chalker's roof, enjoying his hospitality, he concluded not to trouble himself about it. When he was arrested his mouth was opened and he told the whole story. Chalker's consternation at the arrest was very great, and he was judicious enough to ask Briggs "for God's sake to swear that this check from Hilton was borrowed money." When Chalker wa
Louisiana (Louisiana, United States) (search for this): article 1
At late hour last night advices from the North--contained in the New York Herald of Monday, the 10th inst.--were received in this city. 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.
Maryland (Maryland, United States) (search for this): article 1
The African on the sea — his Agency in this war. A late paragraph from Northern papers announces that some thirty vessels of war of the Federal navy are waiting for crews, and that in order to supply them Mr. Secretary Welles has determined to place negroes aboard of them as common sailors. One thousand blacks, enlisted in Maryland for the army, have been disbanded, prior to placing them on board of some of these vessels. It is well understood that the African has very much disappointed the Yankee in the army. He does well as a brutal guard over Confederate prisoners — shooting one occasionally; he does better as a plunderer and general ruffian amongst an overrun Southern population, submitted to his mercy. But in the deadly conflict, on the battle field, he is a failure. He has never stood up well to be shot at. The Yankees have tried to force him into fight, as well as screen themselves from what they would rather avoid — the impetuous attack of Confederate soldiers —
Maryland (Maryland, United States) (search for this): article 2
The alternative presented to the South. The Rev. Mr. Hall, in a lecture lately delivered in this city on the "Historical Significance of the present Revolution," related the following incident in the life of Daniel Webster, which has never before appeared in print: In 1850, Mr. Webster, in the course of a conversation with some gentlemen of Maryland, remarked "A terrible crisis is at hand. The mass of the Northern people have been educated in anti-slavery doctrines, and are thoroughly abolitionist in sentiment. They will demand of the South that their doctrine of abolitionism be accepted by them. I urge you, gentlemen of the South, to go among your people and beg them to accede to this demand on the part of the North. They are resolved on it, and unless the South yield, the country is ruined." The reply was, that when the demand was made, the sword would be drawn and the issue decided with that. If there be a single man in the whole Confederacy who still believes
North Carolina (North Carolina, United States) (search for this): article 1
Between 10 o'clock and nightfall the enemy made repeated assaults upon Field's Division, but were handsomely repulsed in every instance by our line of skirmishers, Field's line of battle never finding it necessary to engage them. Field's loss was very trifling. Very near dark the enemy made a most vigorous and determined assault upon Rodes's line of battle, driving Daniel's and Dole's lines of battle from their breastworks, and capturing six pieces of our artillery. Johnston's North Carolina, Walker's Stonewall, Va, and Gordon's Georgia Brigade, however, quickly came to their assistance, driving the enemy back, and recapturing our lost guns. The enemy's loss is said to be very heavy, especially in Field's and Rodes's front — The enemy are certainly fighting with great nerve and desperation. The Yankee Major General Sedgwick is certainly killed, and it is reported that Warren and Stevens are killed. On other parts of the line yesterday there was nothing but hea
