Custis Lee (search for this): article 1
in the morning and four in the afternoon, five determined assaults upon one point of the enemy's lines, being each time repulsed with heavy loss. The truth of the matter is, that the Yankees determined to drive us from a new line of works, which we had just constructed, running from Fort Gilmer northwardly towards the Charles City road, and last Thursday they undertook the work, and though they strove desperately, both whites and negroes, they were defeated and driven off, "leaving," as General Lee said in his official report, "many of their dead upon the field." If they had succeeded, it would have been "a brilliant and successful attack"; having failed, it is set down by the Yankees as "a reconnaissance in force, the objects of which were fully accomplished." Returned Naval men. The following is a list of the naval officers and men who arrived day before yesterday by flag of truce. They lay at City Point eleven days; and had Butler had his own way, they would not have be

Manassas gap railroad. The Yankees have left the Orange and Alexandria railroad and concentrated their force on the Manassas Gap railroad. This puts an end to any probability of their approaching Gordonsville from that direction. From Georgia. The Yankees seem to have heard the rumor that Hood had captured Dalton. This we know. Nothing further has been heard from him. We are assured, however, that he is not idle. From Missouri. In Missouri, Price is having everything his own way. The old General said, when he started on his campaign, that he went there to maintain the Confederate Government in the State, and on his own dear soil, or his bones should be there to whiten on the prairie. He is treading with a determined step. Jeff. Thompson, the wily swamp fox, is on his o

He is treading with a determined step. Jeff. Thompson, the wily swamp fox, is on his old trail. He will not forget his imprisonment at Johnson's Island and his having been placed under fire at Charleston. He has taken Sedalia. The Yankees say he paroled or shot the militia captured there. If taken Sedalia. The Yankees say he paroled or shot the militia captured there. If the militia were Missourians, Jeff. Thompson would not shoot them; but they were, doubtless, an accursed and thieving set, who have come into Missouri since the war and taken quiet and unlawful possession of the homes of true Missourians, who have either been murdered or are in the Southern army. Missouri will doubtless be redeemed; and any Yankee will rue the day he ever set foot in a Missouri homestead.
