The Daily Dispatch: December 10, 1863., [Electronic resource], The battle of Payne's Farm. (search)
The battle of Payne's Farm. The recent engagement on the Rapidan has been designated the battle of "Payne's Farm. " The battle reflects much credit upon the skill of Major-General Edward Johnson and the gallantry of the officers and men of his division. The division is composed of the Stonewall Brigade, under Brigadier-General J. A. Walker, and Stuart's, J. M. Jones's, and Stafford's brigades, with four pieces of Anderson's artillery. These were the only troops engaged in the battle on our side. Opposed to them were Major General French's corps (the 3d) and one division of the 5th corps. The enemy was in position and opened the attack before our forces knew of their presence. Their object, as has since been ascertained, was to make a sudden attack from their concealed position upon our flank, disperse the troops, and capture our wagon train. They not only failed of their object, but were driven from the field with considerable slaughter. Their loss was certainly double that

e husband is in the Confederate army, ran the blockades sometime since. She is a spy of the worst character, and ought not to be tolerated in the North. Her mother in law is a Mrs. --. She also expected to go to Philadelphia. Com. Hollins will soon leave here to go to Nassau or St. Thomas, to sail for England, where he expects to take command of a war steamer. --Ewell has taken the place of Stonewall Jackson, although he has but one leg. Report says Lee will soon make a forward movement. Stuart expects to make a raid from Orange into Pennsylvania. It is a truth, the rebel soldiers live on rats, and anything else they can get. Corn and wheat, green, and from the field, are common articles of diet. If the Northern army cannot vanquish such a miserable set of starved and naked wretches, then may the Yankee nation become a by-word with all nations on earth! In the North treason stalks forth in the broad daylight! Here everything is subservient to the cause, and one word of remo

The Legislature. The Senate was in session but a short time on Saturday. A resolution of inquiry was adopted as to whether the Superintendent of the Salt Works had transcended the powers given him so far as relates to impressments, and whether any legislation is necessary to compel him to carry out in good faith the contracts and liabilities entered into and assumed by Stuart, Buchanan & Co., as to the property which was transferred by them to the State. A bill for the relief of Wm. E. C. Douglas, late Steward of the Lunatic Asylum at Williamsburg, was passed. Adjourned. In the House bills were reported for the relief of the personal representatives of A. B. Urquhart, Jos. E. Gillett, and Madison J. Davis; authorizing the payment of a sum of money to Henry Exall, of Richmond, for drawings, plans, and specifications of the armory; and, providing for the impressment of slaves for hospital purposes.

ginia in Washington, in place of Bowden, and that he has written a letter in response, stating that he is unwilling to accept the honor intended to be conferred upon him, hoping that the time is not far distant when he can stand as a connecting link between the North and South. The letter is said to be brief, but eloquent. Heavy laden wagons were crossing the Mississippi at St. Louis on the ice on the 15th January. The Herald, of the 15th, has a dispatch from Culpeper, saying that Stuart, with 5,000 men, had arrived at Leesburg, and would either out the Orange Railroad a Bull Run, or the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad at Point of Rocks. Lincoln has been mentioned for re-election by the Republicans in the Legislatures of Indiana, Illinois, New Hampshire, and Pennsylvania. A brigade from the Army of the Potomac has been sent to Johnson's Island. The Richmond correspondent of the London Times says if the rebel Congress, which, it must be confessed has hitherto shown

Pollard's second year of the War. --The "Second Year of the War," by E. A. Pollard, of this city, is announced as published in the North in splendid style, bound in cloth, and with portraits on steel of Vice-President Stephens and Gens. Longstreet, Hill, Stuart, and Johnston. The publisher says:"The first edition of 5,000 copies has been entirely taken up in advance." The book seems to have been a great prize for the literary places of Yankeedom, as no less than three different publishers have brought out separate editions of the work in the North, and advertise it, in competition, by the column in the New York papers.

ase, whereby said furnaces could not be worked up to their full boiling capacity, and were in fact often "blown out" entirely for the want of a supply of salt water. The committee are clearly of opinion that there is a legal liability resting on Stuart, Buchanan & Co. to make good to the State the loss resulting from this failure on their part to comply with their contract. The tenor of the evidence estimates the loss from this source at from fifteen thousand to twenty thousand bushels of salt report then proceeds with the following recommendations: That the State shall immediately impress the six furnaces known as the "Charles Scott & Co's works," and shall, prior to the 8th day of June next, impress nine of the ten furnaces of Stuart, Buchanan & Co., now leased by the State; also the "Preston" well, and so much salt water from the King and Finley wells as shall be ample to supply the said fifteen furnaces. Likewise, that the superintendent have authority, under the supervisi

ed. As soon as the enemy crossed the Rivanna river the artillery, supported by some furloughed and dismounted men, under command of Major R. F. Mason, O. M., of Fitz Lee's division, opened on the advancing column. This seemed entirely unexpected, some of the Yankees exclaiming, "By--, the Secesh have been reinforced; let's go back," which they did at a double quick; nor did they halt to camp until they reached their infantry support at Madison Court-House. Our correspondent says: Gen. Stuart on Monday moved upon the enemy's near towards Stanardsville, and charged them as they were retreating on Tuesday morning near Wolf on; but owing to the disparity of his numbers, when compared with those of the enemy, he was forced to give back, and the enemy were enabled to make good their retreat. As your readers know, Gen. Lee had been absent from this army for nearly a week when he returned on Tuesday. I think, during his absence, not anticipating a move, the command was not for
