The Daily Dispatch: June 15, 1861., [Electronic resource], An interesting document. (search)
cannot let this opportunity pass without writing a word to you-John has written all the news, so I shall be under the extreme necessity of writing some thing original, which I'll warrant will be interesting. To-night's paper contains news of Col. Ellsworth's death, which does not help much to digest the suppers of people here. There is a great deal of indignation manifested — they all want to start South now Also, we see by last night's papers the death of one of the Bradford boys. We hope ant does not satisfy us unless we can see something about W. L. J. Yesterday a telegram came from White River Junction, saving "we are all on fire — come and help us." We went over, and found Latham's and all other shops burned and burning. There is no business doing, and I think I shall sell out, as I am losing money. D — n the man that killed Colonel Ellsworth. I should like to chaw him. Your brother. J. B. Parker. To Reuben M Parker,Fortress Monroe Va., Co. A., W. L.

We were around on the morning of the 1st of June, by the tramping of horse through our village. A party of the Second Cavalry, as we have since learned, consisting of seventy-five men, commanded by Lieutenant Tompkins, and guided by a spy, came up through an old country road, fired, we presume, with zeal to emulate the fame won by the hero, Ellsworth, for his midnight assault upon a sleeping and unarmed house in the town of Alexandria. One of the sentinels only gave the alarm, and he forgot to fire his gun, so that the surprise was very great; a portion of the attacking party filed off to the Methodist Church, where the Warrenton Rifles, who only arrived the day before, were quartered, and were then forming, having been hastily roused from their beds. The remainder dashed on to the Episcopal Church, where they expected to find and cap

Federal outrages in Alexandria. To the Editor of the Dispatch:--Having just escaped from the vicinity of the "vandals" now occupying Alexandria, I cannot forbear giving you a few items with regard to their conduct and actions there, hoping. it will not prove uninteresting. Soon after the Federal troops took possession, Col. Wilcox, who by the death of Ellsworth was left commander of the whole forces, issued a famous proclamation, offering protection to all private property belonging to peaceful citizens, and declaring his intention only to be the "putting down of all unlawful combinations." We will see how beautifully this magnanimous proclamation was kept. No sooner were they fairly quartered on the town than the "Pet Lambs" began their lawless depredations. A party of them immediately broke into the depot, rifled trunks, boxes and everything, and stole all the money to be found. This was their first step to wards the "protection of private property!" They then proceed
