Beelington, July 9.--Our troops took possession of the hill this morning, where skirmishing has been going on for two days past.

of which the mass of flame has been pouring since Saturday afternoon, and which are therefore almost white with heat. Tremendous clouds of steam are thrown off here as the jets of the hose fall upon the brick work. Unfortunately, however, this side of the warehouse is as much out of the perpendicular as the front, and is still certain to become so as the mass of brick work contracts in cooling; so that, even when the fire is entirely extinguished, the imminent danger will prevent the spot being used as a base of operations for penetrating further towards the centre, where the great vaults still boil and flame unchecked. Adjoining the cellar which has thus been partially extinguished is another, stored entirely with lard and bacon. This has never been on fire, though to judge from the hot jets of steam that have been issuing from the loopholes since Sunday, the contents must have been as effectually overdone as if the flames had actually found their way in--London Times, July 9.
The Daily Dispatch: July 31, 1861., [Electronic resource], Letter from Texas. (search)
Letter from Texas. The following letter, addressed to the editors of the Dispatch, and dated Houston, Texas, July 9th, will be perused with interest: A kind Providence has smiled upon Texas this season, in common with all the Confederate States, and granted a bountiful and liberal yield of the products of the field. Our wheat and corn crops are unprecedentedly good. Texas will have an immense surplus of these necessaries of life this year. A series of unfavorable seasons has stinted her resources in this respect, and has hindered emigration from flowing in as largely or rapidly as the attractions she possesses in soil, climate, and health, justify. We have less land than usual planted in cotton, as it was considered prudent to cultivate a larger area in corn and wheat this season than usual; we may need them. The number of bales of cotton shipped last year from our ports exceeded 250,000 bales, and we estimate 200,000 more from the northeastern portion of the State

for want of harness. On the 28th he informed the General of the strength of the enemy, and of his own force; that he would not, on his own responsibility, attack without artillery, but would do so cheerfully and promptly, if he would give him an explicit order to that effect. No order was gives. On the 20th he received the harness for his single battery of six smooth bore guns, and on the 30th gave the order to cross. On the 2d of July he crossed, met the enemy, and whipped them. On July 9 a council was held, at which all the commanders of divisions and brigades and chiefs of staff, were present. Col. Stone, the junior line officer, spoke twice and decidedly against an advance, advocating a direct movement to Shepherdstown and Charlestown.--All who spoke opposed an advance, and all voted against one. On the same day he informed the General-in-Chief of the condition of affairs in the valley, and proposed that he should go to Charlestown and occupy Harper's Ferry, and asked to

denounce Abolitionists as enemies of the country. If such resolutions (resolutions, we mean, equally treasonable) had been passed in a Democratic meeting or convention, their promulgators would have been sent to Fort Warren; but as the authors in this instance are only Abolitionist patriots, they are not interfered with, and Republican editors dare not denounce them, lest their party should lose votes!--Providence (R. I.) Post. Shall we have a conscription.[from the New York Express, July 9.] "To Arms!" "To Arms!" "To Arms!" is, today, the almost unbroken cry of the city journals. "McClellan must have reinforcements, " says one, "not two or three months hence, but now." Another: "If the men are not forthcoming within a given space of time, we must have a conscription; " a third urges public meetings, in town and country, to stir up the people, and to hurry up enlistments. This is no wolf cry. There is reason in it. There is occasion for it. The emergency is, indeed, pres
The Daily Dispatch: July 29, 1862., [Electronic resource], Arrivals from Kentucky. (search)
Arrivals from Kentucky. Two ladies--one of them the wife of Judge Moore, of the Confederate Congress, and the other the wife of Mr. Southall, of the Purcell battery--arrived in this city on Sunday afternoon by the Central train. They left their homes in Mt. Sterling, Ky., on the 9th of July, and traveled alone from that point to Richmond. Their route was through Pitsburg and Harrisburg, Pa., to Baltimore, where they remained for nearly two weeks. Whilst there they made several ineffectual efforts to obtain passports for Staunton, which were positively refused them by Gen. Wool. Finding that it was impossible to obtain Federal permission to reach the Confederate lines, they determined to visit Winchester, in the hope that its early evacuation by the enemy, or recapture by our forces, would enable them to reach their point of destination, without the necessity of again applying for passes to the agents of the Lincoln tyranny. Winchester being within the lines of the enemy, they
The Daily Dispatch: July 30, 1862., [Electronic resource], Literary successes in the South. (search)
th. --The successes of a number of new books in the South, brought out under the auspices of Messrs, West, & Johnston, of this city, appear to have firmly established the literary independence of the South. This firm has published more books during the wag than were probably ever before published in the South, They have now in press the famous prophets novel of Judge Tucker--The Partisan Leader--a work in which its distinguished author sketched the coming shadows of the present war with a prescience and fidelity almost marvelous. The recent litaterical work brought out by these publishers-- The First Year of the War.--has reached a demand which already calls for a second edition; two thou sand copies of this book having been sold on the first week of its publication. The success of this work is without parallel in the former life nary history of the South, and we trust is the harbinger of golden days to the authors and writers of our own country.--Richmond Examiner, July 9th.

rough that town on their way to Richmond, and that more were on their way. The Doctor's window overlooked the railroad depot, giving him a good opportunity of ascertaining what was going on. These troops came from James Island, South Carolina, and Easton, Georgia. Among other facts, the Doctor ascertained that there were 11,000 troops at Charlottesville awaiting transportation to Richmond; that 30,000 conscripts had been raised in each of the States of Tennessee and Georgia since the 9th of July, and a proportional number in other extreme Southern States--He heard the Adjutant of Col. Godwin, who commands the post at Salisbury, and who had just come from Richmond, state that the Adjutant of Gen. Hill told him that the rebels had 170,000 troops engaged in the battles of the seven days. He was accompanied by Dr. Stone, who was taken prisoner at Bull Run, and who corroborates the statement so far as relates to the movement of troops. On their way up to Richmond they passed long

Prison Items. --Col. Thos. J. Jordan, of the 9th Pennsylvania cavalry, who was detained from going North on the last flag of truce because charges had been preferred against him by the citizens of Sparta, Tenn., that he allowed his men to commit the most unheard of atrocities on the citizens of that place, was yesterday removed from the Libby prison and put in Castle Thunder, in company with four Yankees belonging to the 1st Maryland cavalry, who are charged with committing a willful murder on an unarmed citizen of the Valley of Virginia. Colonel Jordan was captured at Tompkinsville, Ky., on the 9th of July. Yesterday seventeen deserters were received into the Castle from the South, sent thither by Major Mallett. Among the other inhabitants there is Capt. Arnold Harris, a Yankee. The cage was empty last night, the city police having made no arrests.
