The Daily Dispatch: March 17, 1864., [Electronic resource], 50 dollars reward. (search)
The Prisons. --William Bradshaw and R. Tyson, of Stafford county, Va., were brought to this city and lodged in Castle Thunder yesterday, charged with piloting the Yankees in one of their recent raids in this State. At the Libby thirteen escaped Yankee prisoners from Danville were booked yesterday. Four others from Georgia were also deposited in that institution. Only four thousand prisoners now remain in this city, the large number here for some time back having been reduced to that figure by sending them off to Georgia, and by flag of truce North. A white man, named Thomas Emory, was arrested yesterday and locked up in the cage, charged with stealing two trunks from Mary Johnson. This is the third person who has been arrested for this offence.

l that the enemy thus far have had not a man less than thirty thousand placed hors du combat, while some put the figures as high as forty thousand. A scout who was in Fredericksburg on Sunday night reports that the enemy then had some fifteen thousand wounded in the town, and had taken every available building for hospital purposes. He also states that the enemy had then three pontoons over the Rappahannock, and were busily constructing the bridges over Potomac and Accokeell creeks, in Stafford county, and over the river at Fredericksburg. As confirmatory of the severe losses which the enemy has sustained, I will mention that Ewell buried two thousand dead Yankees in front of his line of battle at the Wilderness. This, be it remembered, was only in front of one corps, and does not include the loss in front of Longstreet and A. P. Hill. We captured an immense number of arms at the Wilderness battle-field, and the enemy left the trenches strewn with arms, clothing, and all m

r, expired at his residence, in this city, at ten o'clock yesterday morning. His illness has been long and tedious, the complaint being typhoid pneumonia. His loss, at this particular time especially, may be regarded as a public calamity. Mr. Daniel was a man of uncommonly fine genius, which appeared in everything he ever wrote from the first day he appeared before the public in print. He was a member of the old and well-known Virginia family of Daniel who have been residents of Stafford county for probably the last hundred and fifty years, and who have been noted for talent for several generations past. He came to this city from Stafford when very young, probably not more than eighteen years of age. He first became known as a contributor to the Southern Planter, an agricultural paper, owned by Mr. Peter D. Bernard.--His articles, though upon subjects upon which, it was to be presumed, he had spent very little thought, were written with so much vigor and purity of style that
