The Daily Dispatch: May 7, 1863., [Electronic resource], British blockade Runners Cornered. (search)
British blockade Runners Cornered. --A late Northern paper says: Lieut. D. A. McDermut, commanding United States gunboat Cayuga, reports that on the morning of April 3d he discovered a sail in the neighborhood of the bar off Sabine Pass, Texas, standing to the southward. He gave chase with the New London and Cayuga, and the vessel, after a pursuit of four hours, was overhauled by the Cayuga. The vessel proved to be the British schooner Tampico of 70 tons. Thomas Ponison, master, and L.J. Nagle, agent for the cargo, both claiming to be British subjects. The shipping articles showed the crew, five in number, to be foreigners. The only colors found was a British ensign. The cargo consisted of 112 bales of cotton, averaging more than 500 lbs to the bale, and valued, as appears by the invoice, at $16,054.83. Her papers showed that she entered the port of Sabine in August, 1862, and at the date of the 31st January, 1863 had, inconsequence of the blockade, been unable to lea

On the 13th of March I left Quebec with the intention of coming direct to New York; but was detained in Montreal by the illness of Mrs. Atwood's little daughter until the 30th of that month. On that day we left Montreal, and the next evening arrived in New York, and on the following Friday, (Good Friday,) April 3d, and only released last Tuesday, the 12th of May. Geo. W. Williamson.

A bond a paper says that Napoleon will gain his end in having a Congress led by the very power which rejected the original proposition for such an . The British channel squadron had been ordered to make ready for sea. Garibaldi was to have a very grand reception in Southampton. The Liverpool cotton market was quiet, with unchanged rates, on the 3d of April. Breadstuffs inactive and looking downward. Provisions heavy, with a downward tendency. Consols closed in London on the 21 at 91½ . American securities closed that. The French papers publish an article from the Opinion National, of Paris, which includes official documents, and proves that the French Government is quietly conniving at the efforts of the rebel agents to have iron clad war vessels built in France for the rebel service. From recitations of the Opinion, it appears that

fensive; only differ with you as to details. I assume that the enemy will be prepared for advance before we will, and will make it to our advantage; therefore I propose, both for offensive and defensive, to assemble our troops here immediately." This was not noticed. Therefore, on the 25th, I again urged the necessity of reinforcing the Army of Tennessee, because the enemy was collecting a larger force than that of the last campaign, while ours was less than it had been then. On the 3d April, Lieutenant-Colonel A. H. Cole arrived at Dalton, to direct the procuring of artillery horses and field transportation, to enable the army to advance. On the 4th, under orders 32 of 1864, I applied to the chief of the conscript service for one thousand negro teamsters. None were received. On the 8th of April, Colonel B. S.

h, except the Custom-House; burning the Mechanics Institute building, the United Presbyterian Church, Goddin's Hall, the State Court- House, the American Hotel, the Petersburg Railroad buildings and bridge, the Danville depot and bridge, and Mayo's bridge; sweeping away that immense structure known as the Gallego Mills, leaving all this extended area scarcely a building, and in rendering hundreds of persons houseless. Such is a brief description of the ravages of the terrible fire on the 3d of April last. But the destruction did not stop here. The torch was also applied to Dibrell's warehouse, on Cary, between Twenty-first and Twenty-second streets, consuming that and the County Court-House adjacent. Several hundred buildings were thus destroyed. To add to the excitement of the scene, from early morning until long after midday the air resounded with the rapid explosions of bomb-shells, of which there were a great number in the laboratories of the Confederate Government.

a nail in the editorial room, and which was occasionally taken down and loudly blown to the world. When well winded, its tone was clear and distinct, quite agreeable to the blower and to those who head it. So well did he love the Dispatch, that the tones of the horn were sweet to his ears; and to the public, which had an equal affection for the little pet, they were like felicitous music! Now, this horn, and a Worcester's dictionary were all that was saved from the conflagration of the 3d of April; and we propose to give a gentle blast upon a much-esteemed instrument, which has been so long silent. Thus: Ho! all men — friends and readers, here and everywhere!--the Dispatch, once the general favorite, whose name rang in every valley, and was re-echoed from every hill in the land, is rapidly retrieving its old place. Its long rest has but given it added energy, and it begins its career anew with the activity and enthusiasm of a boy! Its style and character exclude it from no f

(also surgeon in the army,) testified that they identified the horse as one ridden by Isaac N. Cocke, as a courier, during the campaign below Richmond. This closed the testimony for the Commonwealth. Witnesses for the defence were then sworn. Dr. W. W. Parker, captain of a battery of artillery during the war, until he was promoted, testified that Dr. Wooldridge was a lieutenant under him, and rode a splendid cream-colored horse. He left the city with him on the morning of the 3d of April. Slept with him every night, and was with him every day until the day of the surrender. During the trying scenes of the war he conducted himself with extraordinary gallantry, and was promoted for his bravery and probity. He returned with Dr. Wooldridge to Manchester, and there they parted. His cream-colored horse was stolen at High Bridge, and afterwards he got a sorrel horse, which he rode back to Manchester, where they arrived about the 16th of April. Benjamin H.

A Historical Relic. --The famous blue bowl so often used on festive occasions by the Richmond Light. Infantry Blues is still in preservation. We saw it yesterday at "The Place," on Fourteenth street. This bowl is seventy-nine years old, will hold thirty-six gallons, and is to be filled with egg-nogg on the occasion of the reorganization of the old company, which is now in progress. It is stated that this old bowl was rescued from the conflagration on the 3d of April by an exception of the Blues.
