The Daily Dispatch: May 6, 1863., [Electronic resource], The great victory. (search)
rms, we were made to say the battle was fought on Saturday. The main fight after the heroic Jackson had gotten behind the enemy begun on Saturday. According to General Lee the enemy was on that day, under the combined attack of Jackson in the rear and Longstreet in front, driven to within one mile of Chancellorsville, probably a dning, and the enemy "was dislodged from all his positions around Chancellorsville, and driven back to wards the Rappahannock," over which he was retreating when General Lee wrote his dispatch — at what hour on Sunday the paper itself does not show. Ere this goes to press we may have further particulars of this triumph, inferior in importance to none of the very many which have crowned the arms of the Southern Confederacy. With only the brief message of Gen. Lee to inform us everybody knows the victory is great. That distinguished military leader, whose modesty is equal to his merits, and one of whose prominent traits is his conscientiousness, would n

ad will be repaired and in running order for the entire line this morning as we learn, and the Fredericksburg Road was ready for the cars yesterday morning. Not a bridge worthy the name was destroyed; the most important that was attacked was the bridge across the Chickahominy, on the Fredericksburg Road, and that was but little injured. Some culverts and cattle-stops were disarranged — nothing more. The plan of destroying the aqueduct of the canal over the Rivanna was frustrated by General Fitzhugh Lee. That would have been a serious injury, and that was avoided. So the Yankee cavalryman, with his long sword, saddle, bridle, cavorting around, has done nothing — save to get away, for which he has to thank the stars, or somebody else. Altogether, it is the most remarkable affair of the war. For deliberate, prolonged planning, elaborate equipment, and contemptible achievement; for the magnitude of its promises and the poverty of its performances, it is without parallel. It is n
The Daily Dispatch: May 6, 1863., [Electronic resource], What of the odds?--"Twenty Millions against Eight" (search)
r armies are full of foreigners. Of the prisoners of several regiments taken recently every one were Germans! But what of it? Does not the very fact that these appeals for help are made show the state of the war? With all their odds against us — with all their foreign aid, have we not defeated them in a hundred fields? Look at the last and most brilliant of our battles. The best appointed and largest army ever raised by Lincoln,--fully double as large as the Confederate army under Gen. Lee, --takes its own time, crosses where it chooses without hindrance, and takes it own battle ground. If the scene had advantages Hooker had the opportunity to possess them, and, no doubt, according to his best judgment, did so. Yet he is assailed by inferior numbers in his chosen position, routed, and driven back whence he came with immense loss! Do the Yankees desire further proof of the folly of their bold assumption that twenty millions could whip eight? Had there not been that differen
The Daily Dispatch: May 6, 1863., [Electronic resource], The battles on the Rappahannock. (search)
The battles on the Rappahannock. The most intense anxiety was manifested in our community yesterday to learn further particulars of the great battles on the Rappahannock; but owing to the interruption of communication it was impossible to ascertain anything beyond the fact that Gen. Lee had gained another victory, and the belief was that he was following up his advantages. During the day, however, telegraphic communication was re-established, and last evening the President received the following dispatch from Guinea's Station: Headquarters, 10 o'clock A. M., May 5th, 1863. To His Excellency President Davis: At the close of the battle of Chancellorsville, on Sunday, the enemy was reported advancing from Fredericksburg in our rear.--Gen. McLaws was sent back to arrest his progress, and repulsed him handsomely that afternoon. Learning that this force consisted of the corps under Gen. Sedgwick, I determined to attack it, and marched back yesterday with Gen Anderson,
