The Daily Dispatch: June 8, 1861., [Electronic resource], article 9 (search)
Pick off the officers. --Thus far the Abolition mercenaries have been most unfortunate in their loss of Colonels Vosburgh, Ellsworth and Kelley have gone on their several errands of immortality, and we hope more will speedily follow. Let our sharpshooters pay their especial regard to these epauletted gentry. Pick off the officers, and you disorganize and paralyze the men. The discipline of such a rabble is only maintained by their superiors, and these once out of the way, the contest will be with a tumultuous mob.

back of their short-cropped heads. Just now, as may be expected after eight days of travel, they look painfully , but after they have indulged themselves as their ordinary ablutions, they will make a show that will wake up several ideas to the effect that the South are able to produce the ne plus ultra of genuine fighting stock, in whose knowledge of the English language no such word as "fail" has ever made an intrusion. Their great desire is to meet the "pet lambs" of the late Colonel Ellsworth,-in-which we trust they will be speedily accommodated. If they do, they will walk through the New York rowdies like a whirlwind. Their principal fare, since leaving Pensacola, has been crackers, cheese, and whiskey, and they are in sad want of more substantial aliment. They also want knapsacks and shoes, which will doubtless be supplied to them before their departure for camp. Many of them strolled through the streets during the afternoon and attracted general attention, but th

The Zouaves of New Orleans. A friend remarks to us that he thinks if the daguerreotypes of the French Zouave regiment now in this city could be taken and sent to Gen. Butler, he would immediately evacuate his present quarters. Heaven help his Vermonters or Ellsworth's so-called Zouaves when these fierce-faced and genuine sons of Mars come after them! The New York firemen will find a conflagration the like of which they never witnessed in their combustible city, and which they have no machinery for putting out.

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.

pleased, I am sure, to have it appear in some paper that will bring it to the notice of the people of the State, and I send it to you. L. S. 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

Thos. Young, a member in good standing of the Church. It appears that Mr. Young, previous to the commencement of the service, with several other persons, was standing in front of the Church, and when one of the party said something about the arrival of a privateer in N. York, and at the same time denouncing the officers and crew of the vessel as pirates, Young insisted that they were not pirates, but men engaged in a lawful rebellion for their rights.--At the same time he remarked that Col. Ellsworth was a thief, having stolen a man's property, and he was served right in being shot. This created an intense excitement, and Young was ordered to leave, which he did, the crowd following after him, until he took refuge in a private house. The mob insisted that he should be brought out, which was finally done, Young being in charge of a number of policemen, who took him to a station house where he remained until Monday morning, when he underwent an examination before Mayor Henry.

m sorry I cannot give you any more news, as all the companies are ordered out, and I am included in the ranks of one of them. Important from Springfield--Mr Lincoln to be escorted to the Capital by the Illinois Zouaves. [From the Albany Evening Journal.] The President elect will be escorted to Washington by the Springfield (ill.) Zouaves, in spite of threats coming from any source. This company is composed of young men who have for some months past been under the instruction of Col. Ellsworth, and in drill they are said to be fully equal to the genuine original Zouaves. A correspondent writing to the Davenport (Iowa) Gazette, says: "This company intends to do escort duty to the President elect on the 4th of March next, accompanying him to Washington, and returning by Philadelphia, New York, Albany, etc. They number over sixty, and are in a perfect state of drill, having already taken several prizes, and surprised the famous Chicago boys in their efficiency. They are com

A good name. --The name of Jackson seems to be gaining an enviable distinction in the present war. First, James W. Jackson, of Alexandria, Va., slew Col. Ellsworth for interfering with a flag, private property, when he knew his own death would follow. Second, Gov. Jackson, of Missouri, has taken a bold, patriotic stand for the South, against heavy odds. Third, Mrs. Jackson, of Tazewell, Drove Andy Johnson, the traitor, from her hotel, assuring him that money could not purchase her provisions for such an ingrate Hurrah for the Jacksons!--Fayetteville Ob.
