The Broeck not broke --A statement, which was started in Ball's Life in London, to the effect that Mr. R. Ten Broeck had retied from the turf in consequence of his severe losses in the Southern States, is not correct, as is shown in a card of Mr. Ten Broeck in another London journal.

Fighting across the Potomac. The body of R. K. Royall, a member of Captain Ball's Chesterfield Cavalry, was brought to the city yesterday for interment. His funeral takes place to-day, (see obituary.) Young Royall (who was only 22 years old) was killed Sunday last in a skirmish carried on between some of our troops on this side and a body of the enemy on the other side of the Potomac, near Leesburg. Of the number engaged we could not ascertain any particulars. He was shot through the neck, the ball passing downward into the right side.--He died immediately. He was in the battle of the 21st, and behaved gallantly. John W. Barr, of our city, a member of Shields' Howitzers, was wounded in the leg in the same engagement. No other casualties occurred on our side. Our men are of opinion that they killed some of the enemy — they could not say how many. Of course when the Northern account of this affair appears it will represent that an engagement was fought between a sma

-day by a detachment of the Nineteenth Indiana Regiment. No further tidings have been heard of Lieut. Hancock, who was reported killed; but his body not having been found, the presumption is that he was taken prisoner. A man, supposed to be a spy, was arrested to-day in the neighborhood of the Chain Bridge, and was taken to the headquarters of Gen. Smith, heavily ironed. Everything has been remarkably quiet in the neighborhood of Bailey's and Ball's Cross-Roads. The residence of Mr. Ball, to the right of Ball's Cross-Roads, is alternately occupied by our pickets and those of the Confederates--ours during the day and theirs at night. Federal accounts of affairs in Missouri. St. Louis, Sept. 11. --Dr. Franklin, Surgeon of Gen. Lyon's Brigade, arrived from Springfield to- day, and reports that all the Federal wounded remaining at that place have been retained by order of the rebel commander, and are held as hostages for the safety of the Secessionists now in the h

A fine observatory has been erected on the roof of Upton's house, from which a good view is obtained of the enemy's outposts near Falls Church. A number of the rebel cavalry was observed on Seth Perkins's Hill, northwest of Falls Church. Mount Olivet Church, situated on the road north of Ball's, has disappeared since our troops moved out. The boards were wanted for floors for the tents. An alarm but no fight. This afternoon some choppers in Gen. Morrell's Brigade, while felling some timber near our outposts, observe some of the rebels near them. The alarm was given, and a body of our troops moved out to the picket lines.--The alarm was causeless, and our troops soon returned without a battle. Arrival of the City of Washington. The screw steamer City of Washingto
The Daily Dispatch: October 24, 1861., [Electronic resource], An affecting sentence of Condemned Murderers in Georgia. (search)
An affecting sentence of Condemned Murderers in Georgia. Judge Ball's sentence of the Wilsons, for the killing of Thomas Terry, some time since, in Atlanta, Ga., has been published in the Southern Confederacy, of that place. It is an affecting and eloquent address, and will be read with interest by our readers: Prisoners at the Bar:--You have been placed at the Bar of this Court to receive the fearful sentence which the law prescribes as the penalty of that crime of which you stand convicted by the solemn verdict of your peers. Few more revolting scenes have ever been witnessed within the walls of a Court of Justice than the one now presented here. A father and a son ! standing together before the seat of a judgement to hear the doom which the violated law demands as the punishment of their unhappy deeds! I would that I could have been spared this scene, and the performance of this painful duty. I would that the evidence had shown your hands unstained by the blood o

a and the piece of artillery supporting it, from Burnt Bridge, double-quicked them to the point opposite the island, and gave the order--"The enemy is in that woods; drive them out," Ball's Cheaterfied troop was posted on the left of the woods, the howitzer in front; and the order was, if the 8th Virginia fell back, for the gun to open with shot and shell, and the cavalry to charge. The 8th went at double-quick across the open field in front, reached the left of the woods, in front of Capt Ball, and formed line of battle. The charge soon followed, and the cavalry participated in it, dismounting and fighting the enemy's advance guard on foot. The engagement soon became vigorous, is the incessant firing — more uninterrupted and violent, I think, than at Manassas — indicated. Once or twice the noise of the musketry and the cheering seemed to roll nearer, and show that our troops were wavering and falling back. But Col. Hunton assures me that such was at no time the face. "It wa

Bowie-Knives not used. --A correspondent writing from Leesburg, says bowie-knives were not used, though the cavalry, under Capt. Ball, who had dismounted and were fighting on foot, used their revolvers with considerable effect. I have heard several accounts of rencontres with the bayonet, but probably more than two or three actually took place. The Yankees ran before our boys could get within perforating distance.
