The Daily Dispatch: August 19, 1864., [Electronic resource], article 1 (search)
of appointing a committee of five hundred representative citizens to wait upon Lincoln in behalf of an embassy to Richmond, with liberal overtures for an armistice and convention of all the States, in order to see if this dreadful war cannot be ended in a mutually satisfactory treaty of-peace. It heads another editorial, "Is War to be Eternal?" The Herald says, in its situation article, Butler is cutting a canal across Dutch Gap, a distance of about half a mile; but when constructed it will save a distance of about seven miles, and will enable the Federals to avoid the obstructions in James river.--The enemy is bringing a heavy fire to bear upon the working parties, but the work goes nobly on. Advices from Sherman's headquarters confirm the account of the flank movement to the west of Atlanta, and say his right now rests at East Point, thus cutting the rebel communication with Montgomery and West Point. Averill was promoted a Major-General after the Moorefield fight.
