Mahone (search for this): article 1
His reasons for this contraction are not known with certainly. His idea of circumvallating the city, so as to include the Weldon, Southside, and Danville Railroads, has been completely exploded by the recent disastrous termination of his grand Wilson raid; but had that proved a success it would have required at least 1,250,000 men to have securely guarded a line extended to such a length. Again, the point to which he had extended his left offered such a tempting bait to the ever vigilant Mahone that it had been twice flanked, and a large number of prisoners gathered into the Confederate net, to say' nothing of the many which fell to rise no more in the battle-field. It is said, too, by persons who know the country, that in that particular section there is always a great scarcity of water, but since the present protracted drouth it has been next to impossibility to procure this article, so indispensable to the health and comfort of an army.

The War news. The Fourth of July has come and gone, and still the grand army of the Potomac is no nearer Petersburg than it was before; indeed, we are assured that on yesterday, when it was expected that Grant would have made a heavy assault and demanded a surrender of the race, he was less demonstrative than usual, and contented himself with throwing a few shell for the purpose of annoying the women and children. At one time yesterday the shelling was quite rapid, but during portion of the day everything was quiet. That some is on foot in the Yankee army is current, but what it is we are at a loss to . It is positively known that Grant has greatly contracted his once around Petersburg, having with drawn an army corps or more from his extreme left, which, until Saturday, extended to Dr. Gurley's farm, within four miles of Reams's Station, and about two miles to the east of the Petersburg and Welden road.

brutal in their instincts than the generality of Yankee soldiers, and, on the principle of giving the devil his due, we are willing to accord them credit for it. Rumors from the Valley. A report is current that our forces in the Valley of Virginia captured a few days ago a large wagon train loaded with supplies, intended for Hunter's army. Some prisoners are said to have been taken at the same time. The scenes of the captured is located near Woodstock, Shenandoah county. It is also reported that Major General John Pope, of "headquarters in the saddle"notoriety, was in Winchester a few days ago, and it was presumed to be his intention to advance up the Valley, for the purpose of completing the work left undone by Hunter. He is reported to have with him from 5,000 to 6,000 men. If this be true, we prophecy for the unfortunate Pope a worse fate even than he encountered at Manassas, where he was so unceremoniously lifted out-of the aforesaid "headquarters" by Gen. Lee.
Crook (search for this): article 1
r from Buchanan, Botetourt county, gives some particulars of the out rages perpetrated by the Yankees on their recent visit to that place. It says: "About two weeks ago we were visited by a large number of Yankees, the whole commands of Averill, Crook, Duffee, and Hunter. For foul days and nights we had no rest whatever. They stripped us of everything we had to eat, and we came very near being burnt out. All around, as far as the eye could reach, their camp fires were burning, and all the hily stole all the flour we had and carried it off. If no one but Averill had come we would have done pretty well. He was here a day or two before the others, and did not seem inclined to take advantage of our defenceless condition; but as soon as Crook, Hunter, and Duffee came the work of destruction commenced. * * * When the bridge was burnt the wind was very high and set directly up the street, so that the small houses near the bridge caught immediately; then the large lumber house of George

For foul days and nights we had no rest whatever. They stripped us of everything we had toable and gooseberry, walked into the house and deliberately stole all the flour we had and carried it off. If no one but Averill had come we would have done pretty well. He was here a day or two before the others, and did not seem inclined to take ston's, and the houses where Mr. Chandler and Dr. Scott lived. Others caught, but were put out. We are much indebted to Averill's men for the promptitude with which they assisted in extinguishing the fire and helping those who had to move." From this letter, it appears that Averill's troops are somewhat less brutal in their instincts than the generality of Yankee soldiers, and, on the principle of giving the devil his due, we are willing to accord them credit for it.
