The Daily Dispatch: May 22, 1863., [Electronic resource], article 3 (search)
Let the bitter, scorching, consuming wrath of this long-suffering land visit relentless justice upon the cruel cowards, murderers, and thieves who wage this savage war of tyranny and subjugation. Patience is exhausted and forbearance is not appreciated; sharp, fierce, decisive, real war should now begin. A wise cruelty may "show" the Yankees some things they have not seen before. The late battle have left us this also to show — that our artillery is equal or superior to the Yankees. Stuart, succeeding Jackson, fought our guns at shorter range, I hear, than ever before, and hence the terrible execution. I have mentioned the batteries at Chancellorsville and on our extreme right, their accuracy, precision, and effect. On Lee's and Howison's hills, two Georgia batteries, of Cabell's artillery battalion, Capt. Frazier's and Capt. Carleton's, deserve especial mention, and did fearful work among the foe. Handled with surpassing skill and unrivalled courage, checking and mowing dow

t will produce in Ohio and elsewhere. Hooker's command. The Herald's correspondent, writing from headquarters 11th army corps, says: Col. Jones, of the 154th New York, wounded and taken prisoner, arrived here this morning. He makes the following statements: Jackson was wounded on Saturday evening by men of Col. Buschbeck's command. He desired to lead his men into action the next day; but Gen. Lee insisted upon relieving him from his command. The command was given to Gen. Stuart, who was execrated by the men for the recklessness with which he led them against artillery. Gen. Lee first heard of our retrograde movement when everything was safety across the river. An Alabama Colonel told Col. Jones that Lee was much chagrined when he heard of our safe retreat, and that he was expecting the arrival of Long street's forces. Col. Jones overheard Gen. Lee, in conversation with one of his staff officers, pay a high compliment to the ability of Gen. Hooker. T

e from six to eight thousand strong, with gram's headquarters at Monticello, the northern part of the county. All going on well. Washington, May 27 --Midnight.--The latest official intelligence from Vicksburg is up to 4 o'clock on Sunday morning, when all was represented as going on well. Some of Mosby's guerillas fired on one of our pickets last night and killed one man. [How could he have killed more] From this the Secesh here have magnified an immense raid led by Lee and Stuart. It is thought that the repeated rebel boasts of an invasion of the North are intended to cover some movement being made or to occur, to make us keep a large force along the border and in Washington unemployed. The riot at Harrisburg, it seems, was some quarrel between a negro and some soldiers about payment for lager beer. The negro bitterly cursed the party, struck one, in the face, and had them arrested. They were released, got reinforcements, and the establishment. An exasp

now going on, is a slander to our species, a disgrace to the civilization of the country. I need not tell you all I have seen — all I have heard. You can imagine the appearance of a town after a regular, old fashioned sack of the darker ages. And yet these fellows will swear against the evidence of your senses that no private property has suffered — no person outraged. It is idle for any one to say our soldiers — our army — are as thievish and as brutal as the Yankees. Impossible! When Stuart visited Pennsylvania his troops doffed their hats to Yankee farmers, and asked permission to enter their premises for a glass of water! O! mockery of war! Shall we be ever respected or feared, so long as we treat our enemies as Christians? Better give up all — better turn our swords into plough shares than to make war so chivalrously, so magnanimously. Better think like Turks and fight like Indians, than to make a mockery of Christianity. Why be trammelled by dead laws? Why not figh

n the opposing forces, complicated with the strength of the fortress and Grant's tactics in the approaching great battle. The rebels cannot afford to lose Vicksburg; but if they succeed there, by concentrating the victorious army at Chattancoga it will be an easy matter to clear out Tennessee. Johnston was only prevented from dealing Rosecrans a heavy blow by Grant's landing at Port Gibson and attacking Vicksburg in the rear. Lee, with heavy reinforcements, is about to move into Pennsylvania, and Stuart, with 15,000 cavalry, is behind the Rappahannock. What is their destination? But Hooker, whose army is twice as large as General Lee's, must first be whipped. One cool, sagacious head at Richmond, seems to direct all the movements on the Southern chess board of the war. What kind of a head, and what head, makes the counter moves at Washington? The war Democrats are chiming in with the peace men. Gold in New York rose to 145, closing at 144⅞. Exchange 157½ to 158.

pened by the enemy, who made the attack a little after daylight in the morning. When they first opened their batteries they were in rear of the headquarters of Gen. Stuart, which they shelled furiously. As a matter of course the camp was thrown into some confusion; but, under the lead of gallant and efficient officers the men ralg up anything approximating an accurate report of the battle. After our troops rallied, a charge was made by our cavalry upon the Yankee battery in rear of Gen. Stuart's headquarters, and they succeeded in capturing and bringing off three of the six pieces the enemy had engaged.--For some time the cavalry fighting between the A.

s: Our losses from the 23d to this date, in killed, wounded and missing, are nearly one thousand, including, I deeply regret to say, some of the ablest officers of the corps. The fight at Brandy Station — position of Affairs at Fredericksburg. The following dispatch, dated Washington, June 9th, is the only notice of the fight in Culpeper which has reached the New York papers: A severe engagement took place this morning between our cavalry and that of the rebels, under Gen. Stuart. The locality at which it occurred was Beverly's ford, on the Rappahannock, five miles above Rappahannock Station and about the same distance below the Sulphur Springs. A dispatch from below Fredericksburg, dated the 7th, estimates the number of Confederates there at 30,000. The dispatch adds: Although the crossing of the Rappahannock at this point was for the third time effected on Friday evening, our forces have advanced no further than the open plain behind the rifle-pits f

y a mile from the river when it came upon General Jenes's whole brigade, who had just shaken themselves out of sleep and were in time to receive us. The fight commenced and continued from 5 A. M. to 3 P. M., by which time the entire force of Stuart, consisting, according to papers found in the camps, of twelve thousand cavalry and sixteen pieces of artillery, had been engaged and driven back three miles on the right and five miles on the left, with heavy loss. Our forces succeeded in fhe most part, however.--Both sides were repeatedly driven back in the course of the battle, though we succeeded in driving the rebels — Fitzhugh Lee's and Wade Hampton's divisions of cavalry, with artillery, all commanded by Major General J. E. B Stuart — back to a point about five miles southwest of where their-pickets were first encountered, where Pleasanton found the enemy so heavily reinforced with infantry and artillery as to make it prudent to return to this side of the river.
