The Daily Dispatch: May 9, 1864., [Electronic resource], article 1 (search)
with the enemy now at City Point. We fear that the Sussex and Prince George people will suffer greatly from the depredations of these vandals. The Peninsula. There is no movement of importance to report on the Peninsula. The latest intelligence brought by a gentleman who yesterday morning left a point in New Kent, 22 miles from Richmond, confirms the report that there are no troops as high as that. The marauders who are in New Kent and vicinity were negro cavalry. They captured Mr. Ball, a citizen, and carried him off. They also visited Rural Shades, and destroyed the dwelling-house there. The residence of Theodore Lacy was burnt, and the dwelling of Allen Rome, in Gloucester, was also destroyed. Burning of a Railroad bridge. Stony Creek bridge, on the Petersburg and Weldon railroad, was burnt by the Yankees on Saturday night. This was done to prevent reinforcements being sent to Pickett at Petersburg, but it came too late. Death of Brig. Gen. Stafford.
