The Daily Dispatch: April 17, 1863., [Electronic resource], Yankee Account of the Siege of Washington, N. C. (search)
s back of the shore and fort are alive with cavalry and infantry — a story which is corroborated by the assertions of contraband who have come off to us in "dugouts." General Prince has arrived here, but brings no additional men or means. Oh for a few more gunboats and a few regiments of the infantry and a few of the transports which have been gouged out of this department by mulishness and the blundering stupidity of the Washington, D. C., "men of brain." If Washington and Newbern fell now we may thank the War Department and the General-in-Chief, and General Hunter for it, and no one else. The steamer Spaulding from Morehead City, N. C., arrived at Fortress Monroe on the 12th instant. No communication had been received at Newbern from Gen. Foster since Wednesday night. Women and children are leaving Newbern. Seven thousand Federal troops attempted to reach Washington from Newbern, but were driven back by the rebels on Wednesday eight miles, with a loss of about 50 men.
