The Daily Dispatch: November 29, 1861., [Electronic resource], The Slidell and Mason outrage. (search)
took place near Buckingham on Saturday last, between the Confederates and the Federal invaders. The Federals attempted to land but were driven off. One of our men was slightly wounded by a shell. It is reported that the enemy landed on yesterday at Bennett's Point, at the mouth of Ashapoo river. Four Federal steamers shelled Otto Island, near St. Helena, on Monday, and then landed. They now hold entire possession of St. Helena Sound. A number of lights passed our bar on Monday night, and it is presumed that the Federal fleet were en route South. Perhaps they were a portion or the whole of the "twenty old whalers" referred to in the New York Herald, of the 25th inst. Savannah, Nov. 28.--The papers of this morning state that Fort Pulaski, on yesterday, threw a few shot and shell at the camp of the Federals on Tybee Island, which caused a Bull Run stampede to safer quarters on that island. There are now six Federal vessels inside of the bar, and five outside.
