The Daily Dispatch: October 18, 1864., [Electronic resource], article 15 (search)
Governor Allen, of Louisiana, recognizing the powerful and beneficial influences of the press, has imported paper enough to keep them all going for a year and exempted all the printers from State service. The late Major-General John H. Morgan was an Alabamian. He was born in Huntsville in 1825. His parents moved to Kentucky when he was six years old. The Council of State of North Carolina, which met in Raleigh on Thursday, the 5th instant, refused to convene the General Assembly in extra session. Commander Loon Smith, who was the hero of the naval affair at Galveston, has gone to Europe, from whence it is expected he will make his appearance in a Confederate cruiser. An exchange thinks there is "trouble brewing" at the North. It's not only brewing — it's already "on draft." The Charlotte (North Carolina) Democrat states that sorghum molasses is selling there for five dollars per gallon. The hog crop in Georgia this year is very heavy. An Imp

Thirteenth Tennessee, and Kirk's cavalry — the whole force being about seven thousand men. Of course our little force, under General Vaughan, at Morristown could do little against such odds in the fight of Friday last, and was driven back with the loss of four pieces of artillery and one hundred and fifty men, including killed, wounded and missing. Colonel Rose, of the Sixty-first Tennessee, is missing, and Captain Mayo, of the Sixty-second Tennessee, also. We hear of several wounded--Captain Allen, severely; Adjutant Hawkins, of the Thirty-first, wounded in the arm, severely; Lieutenant Smith, of the same regiment, killed. The enemy are at Bull's gap; and it is not believed that they will attempt a further advance at present. The capture of Plymouth — loss of the Albemarle. The capture of Plymouth, North Carolina, by the enemy is explained by later accounts. A lack of sufficient watchfulness on the part of our troops seems to have been the prime cause of the loss of the

as Captain Bryant. Her armament consisted of eight twenty- four pound howitzers. She sunk with her bow lying on the river bank; but it is since reported that the rebels plugged up the holes in her hull and are using her as a gunboat. The rebels at Fort Herman are reported twelve thousand strong, with sixteen pieces of artillery. The transports Venus and Chaseman were captured the same day as the Undine. The pilot of the former reports that she was riddled by shell and musketry. Captain Allen and most of her crew were killed, and also fifteen soldiers who were on board. The Chaseman was struck by a shell, when she was run ashore; but at last accounts the rebels had not destroyed her. The rebels have three batteries within a mile above and below Fort Herman. Thirteen or fourteen of the crew of the Undine are reported to have been killed after the surrender. Another, dated Cairo the 5th, gives further accounts of his doings: Yesterday at daylight the gunboat Und

nd the coming of General A. J. Smith means something, but what it is not proper to state. A few days, however, will doubtless develop the plan of the contemplated campaign. Both the Cumberland and Tennessee rivers are in fine boating order, and will prove valuable auxiliaries to military operations in Tennessee and Kentucky. The gunboats Peorla and Pawpaw returned here on Sunday from a reconnaissance up the Tennessee river. The bodies of Ensign Hare, of the gunboat Undine, and Captain Allen, of the transport Venus, killed when their vessels were captured by Forrest's gunboats, were found, . The river is lined with rebel pickets from Pine bluff to Johnsonville. The rebel General Lyon, in command of that district, has orders to watch the river closely and blockade it. Transports will begin running again soon. Forrest has a pontoon across the river at Chickasaw. Deserters and scouts report Hood's army at thirty-five thousand strong; with thirty-seven pieces of a

illa parties to co-operate with it, are now left to annoy us in the Valley. It is supposed the enemy is going to Richmond, possibly to prepare for the evacuation of Petersburg and the rebel capital before Sherman cuts them off at Savannah and all along shore. The railroad is complete to the Opequan, and will soon be running to near Winchester. Later from Louisiana. An arrival at New York, from New Orleans on the 19th, gives the following Yankee news: It is said that Allen, who assumes to be rebel Governor of Louisiana, has organized at Shreveport, in that State, ten regiments of negroes, who are to be armed and equipped from the proceeds of cotton sales at Matamoras. There is a report that the rebel General Buckner has ten thousand troops at Alexandria, Louisiana, where there are said to be abundant supplies of beef and corn.--One of our New Orleans correspondents says that a gentleman has arrived in that city with permission from President Lincoln to bring

of the committee appointed by the Chamber of Commerce, he withdraws his application to that body, and suggests that if the Chamber desires to act independently of him, it can do so by sending its contributions to General Geary. The case seems to be this: The citizens of Savannah are too proud to beg, and yet will accept charity. They do not wish to starve, and we are able to buy what they want, although it will be at the sacrifice of one description of needful food for others. Perhaps Colonel Allen is somewhat "high strung" in his sentiments. It is almost time for him to get over that, and to cease to be sensitive as to what is said about his "mission." For the sake of the needy people whom he represents it would be well for him to recollect that he is not now the representative of Southern pride but of Southern want. The easiest way by which he can effect his purpose will be by a dignity which is free from tetchiness. The Weed-Opdyke suit. A New York letter, of Wednesda

He is the surgeon who volunteered to carry a hawser to the Weehawken when she was aground under the walls of Moultrie and subjected to a severe fire. The number of officers wounded is unprecedented.
