The Daily Dispatch: August 11, 1862., [Electronic resource], From York river. (search)
From York river. Our advices from the country bordering on York river are as late as Saturday last. Up to that period a small force of the enemy continued to occupy a point in New Kent county, known as the "Brick House," but not one had visited West Point since the grand flight of the gunboats and transports immediately after McClellan "changed his base." They doubtless find more scope for their thievish propensities on the Peninsula between James and York rivers, where a direct communication with Fortress Monroe affords them greater security. Two prominent citizens of Gloucester have lately been arrested by the Confederate authorities for trading with the Yankees, though it is believed that their trans actions were prompted rather by cupidity than by any design of returning to "their allegiance under the old flag." Such men are found in every community, and it is perhaps well enough to make an example of them. Many of the people of that county, heretofore in comfortable circ

Another Manassas lethargy. It has been six weeks since the last gun was fired in the fights around Richmond that sent McClellan "skedaddling" to the shelter of his gunboats at Westover. Since then a lethargy as deep as that which pervaded the army and the country after Manassas seems gradually settling down upon us. We are, apparently, waiting for the enemy to recruit his exhausted strength, and to come forth in the cool weather that will be upon us in the next sixty days. By that time his regiments will all be filled up, and we shall be assailed by three hundred thousand additional troops. We shall at least escape the chance of attacking him before he is ready. We are giving him all the time be can desire. He can never reproach us with pressing on him when he is not prepared. What the consequences will be it is not worth while to anticipate. We saw what they were last year. It is fated, it seems, that we are never to reap the fruits of any victory, no matter how decisive
