The Daily Dispatch: April 17, 1862., [Electronic resource], Bitter attack on Gen. McClellan. (search)
he Tennessee, and Donelson, on the Cumberland, their brave assailants wallowing to their armpits in the mire, send the echo back to Albemarle. Mitchell, catching the inspiration, buffets sleet and storm, and by forced marches seizes Bowling Green, while Siegel falls suddenly upon Springfield, Curtis chases Price quite down into Arkansas, our gunboats penetrate beyond Pulaski and threaten Savannah, and Gen. Buller hurries off his regiments and transports to the Gulf for an attack, via Ship Island, upon New Orleans! Does this mounting in hot hastes, this gleaming of bayonets and bursting of shells all around from Pickens to Springfield, disturb the equanimity or jostle the self-control of the Major-General Commanding? Not a bit of it. Like Message, of whom Napoleon said, "His head is never so cool as when a thousand cannon are thundering in his ears," our Field-Marshal possesses his soul in peace, and directs the telegraphic censer to reiterate the chronic fact, "All is quiet alo

at the public may understand the plan of the Federal attack upon New Orleans, we copy from a Baltimore American, published in March last, the following: Commodore David D. Porter's mortar fleet, with the Harriet Lane as the flagship, left Ship Island on the 14th inst., and was to be followed in a few days by Commodore Farrgut's fleet of also pro-of-war and gunboats. Their destination was understood to be the Southwest Pass from which they were to open fire on Forts Jackson and Philip, whi whole fleet directly under their guns, and by repeated broadside of grape and shrapnel, endeavor to drive the gunners from their position. We may, therefore, expect exciting news from New Orleans in a few days. The troops still remain at Ship Island, and were in good health and spirits. They were being perfected in drill, and becoming most efficient troops. Gen. Butter had not arrived when the Constitution left, but they passed him going in with reinforcements. Affairs year C

essels are short both of provisions and ammunition. The city is remarkably orderly, but the excitement is intense, and the feeling of humiliation deep. Further than this, everything is the same as when the vessels first appeared. All are awaiting the shelling of the city, if the Yankees dare do so. [second Dispatch.] Mobile,April 28.--The forts on Lake Pontchartrain were all evacuated on the 25th, in haste, with considerable loss of supplies, and the dismounting, but not the destroying, of the guns. At Fort Pike all the buildings were burned, including the telegraph office. The operator has gone to the limits of the city to open an office if possible. All the gunboats on the lake have been burnt by our own people. The Mobile boats Whitman and Brown, and another, name unknown, with several others, are removing the troops, stores, and ordnance to Manachock, after which, we fear they also will be burnt. The Yankee fleet off Ship Island is returning to that station.

on to a last feeble struggle. The Philadelphia Inquirer, of the 28th inst., says: Dispatches received yesterday from Gens Wool and McDowell convey the important and exhilerating information that the city of New Orleans has fallen into the possession of the Union troops, and is once more under the dominion of the United States Government. The information, though emanating from rebel sources, and without detail, can doubtless be relied upon. Our latest authentic advices from Ship Island, (April 26,) inform us that Gen. Butler was at that time busily employed preparing his forces for an advance on New Orleans. As usual with such large expeditions, some mistakes had been made in regard to supplies, which were being rectified with all possible alacrity. The force under Gen. Butler was about 15,000 strong. He was also accompanied by the mortar fleet, under command of Commander David D. Porter, U. S. N., comprising thirty vessels and 2,000 men. One by one are the c

Tweed, of Cincinnati, and E. W. Fox came as passengers. Fox in the new postmaster. In the column we find that the schooner Pathway cleared for Boston, and that the U. S. Propeller from Pensacola, transport ship Tamerlane, (with troops,) from Ship Island, and bark Daniel Webster, from Ship Island, had arrived. The ship Havelock, from Boston, bark Harris Lane, from Bordeaux, and United States steamer Constitution, were below, coming up. The following items will also be found interesting: Ship Island, had arrived. The ship Havelock, from Boston, bark Harris Lane, from Bordeaux, and United States steamer Constitution, were below, coming up. The following items will also be found interesting: Hon. Pierre Soule, former U. S. Senate, and Provost Marshal of the city, had been arrested on a high political charge, and would probably be sent North. The organ of Butler was exulting over the prospect of Halleck getting Beauregard hemmed in so that there would be no chance for him to escape, and then lating his army. The originally about the currency was a great obstacle to trade, but the papers report the gradual arrival of provisions. The True Delta reports that H. M. S

uffer death for being concerned in the robbery of Mr. Weisshar's house, in Toulouse street, (already mentioned,) and as being of a gang that, under prefence of authority from Gen. Butler to search for arms, had committed numerous other robberies, were hanged this morning inside the Parish Prison. Roy and Clary were hanged together, and afterwards Crage and Newton. The condemned prisoner, who assumed the name of Theodore Leib a native of this city, on account of his youth and other circumstances, had his sentence committed to imprisonment on Ship Island at hard labor during the pleasure of the President of the United States. A large number of United States officers and a few citizens witnessed the execution of these men. Outside, all the morning, there was a large assemblage of people, and, as usual, many of them women, who, though they could not witness the awful scene, stood in a dense mass under the broiling sun, apparently, like Micawber, waiting for something to turn up.

wn this, too, without rebuke, in the Louisiana Club, which claims to be composed of chivalric gentlemen: It is, therefore, ordered that, for this desecration of the dead, he be confined at hard labor for two years on the fortifications at Ship Island, and than he be allowed no verbal or written communication to or with any one except through these headquarters. By order of Major-General Butter. R. S. Davis, Capt. and A. A. A. Special Order No. 151: Fidel Keller has been fkee soldier, whereas, in truth and fact, they were the bones purchased some weeks before of a Mexican Consul, to whom they were pledged by a medical student: It is therefore ordered, that for this desecration of the dead he be confined at Ship Island for two years at hard labor, and that he be allowed to communicate with no person on the island except Mrs. Phillips, who has been sent there for a like offence. Any written message many be sent to him through these headquarters. Upo

slowly and gracefully as she had ever done in the old days when she presided in her salon at Washington. Frequently she would raise her glass to one eye and scan the objects around the office. A notice on the door especially attracted her attention, and afforded her particular amusement. It reads thus, "There is no difference between a he and she adder, in their venom." After she had been removed from the office she sent back a request that she might be exiled instead of being sent to Ship Island. Mrs. Phillips is a rather fine looking woman, and was dressed very neatly in white throughout. The funeral, which took place on Saturday evening, resulted in a scene so shocking that it is difficult to believe that it occurred in the nineteenth century, among a people who profess to be not only civilized, but Christianized. As the cortege moved through the streets, women, in the garb of ladies, flaunted secession badges, and mocked and jeered at the poor dead body of a brave boy, w

1862 Special Order No. 179,--John H. Larne, being by his own confession a vagrant, a person without visible means of support, and one who gets his living by playing cards, is committed to the Parish. Prison till further orders. Anna Larue, his wife, having been found in the public streets, wearing a Confederate flag upon her person, in order to incite to riot, which act has already resulted in a breach of the peace and danger to the life of a soldier of the United States, is sent to Ship Island till further orders. She is to be kept separate and apart from the other women confined there. By order of Maj. Gen. Butler R. S. Davis, Captain and A. A. A. G. I understand that Provost Marshal French has issued the most stringent orders to the police, that they must find the man who attempted to murder the national soldier. Fortunately, the person occupying the store into which the scoundrel ran was, beyond question, innocent of any complicity with the affair, or his bui

the precious metal will soon find its level, the market being glutted, and the supply being in excess of the wants of commerce. The New York Herald Miscellaneous. Gen. Lewis Partridge, of Norwich, Vt., was arrested a few days since by United States Marshal Baldwin, on the charge of treason, and taken to Windsor, where the United States Circuit Court sits next week. Hon. John J. Crittenden is in New York. Mrs. Phillips and Judge Andrews, of New Orleans, who were sent to Ship Island by Gen. Butler, have been released. At Harardsville, Ct., on the 22d instant, a powder mill exploded, killing 8 men and Miss Ceha Smith, who was struck by a flying timber. The New Orleans Delta suggests to Gen. Butler that the females who "flaunt secession badges in the faces of the defenders of New Orleans," be sent to cotton factory at the Baton Rouge penitentiary. Ex-Gov. Wm. D.
