The Daily Dispatch: May 6, 1864., [Electronic resource], The impending battle on the Rapidan — the enemy on the Peninsula — Iron Clads and transports in James river — troops landed at Bermuda Hundreds, &c. (search)
e. A deserter, who reached the city yesterday evening from the Yankee army on the Peninsula, states that it is generally under stood among the troops that Richmond is to be attacked by a combined movement of several different columns and a fleet of gunboats and turreted monitors. Official information was received yesterday afternoon of the advance up James river of thirty four gunboats, monitors and trans ports. At last accounts they had reached Bermuda Hundreds, on the south side of James river, just above the mouth of the Appomattox, and were landing at that point in considerable force. Bermuda Hundreds is in Chesterfield county, and is 55 miles from Richmond by water and about 40 miles by land. Additional intelligence from an official source has reached us that they are also landing at Berkeley, on the north side of lames river, in Charles City county. It was apprehended last night that the Bermuda troops might make a raid on the Richmond and Petersburg Railroad.
