The Daily Dispatch: April 12, 1861., [Electronic resource], The great race at New Orleans — defeat of Planet. (search)
The great race at New Orleans — defeat of Planet. The New Orleans papers of Sunday give the particulars of the four mile race over the Metaire course, Saturday, on which it is stated $300,000 changed hands. The entries were Doswell's Planet, Foley's Lightning. and Kenner's Panic. The storm Friday had reduced the track to a terribly mucky condition, and destroyed the possibility of quick time. The betting was chiefly between the friends of Planet and Lightning, though the fact that Panic h omnibus and the railroad cars, were in lively demand, and soon all the avenues to the track were covered with them. The race of the day was four mile heats for the Club Purse of $1,500. The entries were Kenner's Panic, Doswell's Planet, and Foley's Lightning. The pool betting the previous evening placed them in the above order, out of $26,905 pooled Panic having $11,160, Planet $8,580, and Lightning $7,165. But it should be borne in mind that this placing was predicated upon the state of

ng bill to the Secretary, and he is puzzled whether to pay it or not. Two additional Ohio regiments go immediately into Kentucky, making eleven contributed from this State. Gentlemen just from Lexington, Ky., state that there are from two to three hundred Secessionists ravaging the country in and about Knox, Clay, and Laurel counties, in that State, and give the opinion that the Union men there should be protected. The four months service enterprise works like a charm, and Colonel Foley expects to complete his regiment upon that plan in a very short time. A month's pay will be allowed in advance, and recruits will not be sent out of the State. Green Clay Smith, Esq., member of the Kentucky Legislature, has been authorized to raise recruits for Col. Jas. S. Jackson's First Regiment of Kentucky Cavalry, now encamped at Owensboro. It has been determined to connect a battery of six guns with each Ohio Brigade organized for the war. In addition to the guns in serv

er had judiciously chosen Rocky Gap — a point a few miles this side of Mercer Court-House — for the main body of his cavalry regiment, and had placed the remainder under Lieut-Col. Henry Fitzhugh, at the latter place. Thus matters stood when Captain Foley, a trusty scout, commanding a small partisan force, and a brave and noble fellow, brought intelligence to Lt.-Col. Fitzbugh that the enemy was advancing in large force. Lt. Col. Fitzhugh communicated this information to Col. Jennifer, and inadmirable loop-holes; from these they maintained the fight vigorously.--Lieut.-Col. Fitzhugh attempted to storm the house, but though our men made heroic efforts, it was found to be impracticable. It was in one of these charges that the brave Capt. Foley fell mortally wounded. The now impregnable position of the enemy rendering a farther attack unavailing, and the main body of the Yankees rapidly approaching to the relief of their advance guard, our little force had no option but to withdraw.

Wheat's battalion. --This famous body of soldiers, now with Jackson in Maryland, was represented in the battles of Saturday and Sunday by two gallant volunteers, Capt. R. A. Harris and Lieut. Foley, who were here on the sick list. Captain Harris, of company A, Wheat's battalion, rallied some of our brave troops to the charge, dashing fearlessly into the enemy's entrenchments and putting them to flight in quick time. This sort of conducts is in striking contrast to the about- town policy of some others on furlough during the hour of danger. Wheat's battalion was at Manassas, where its Major was dangerously wounded, and performed prodigies of valor on that memorable occasion. Major Wheat, a Virginian, formerly General in the Mexican army, and with Garibaldi in Naples, has, singularly enough, never been promoted, though others of far less military skill and renown have been visited by many honors.

redos and parties to the Government--"the powers that be," and the laws of the land. Suppose there is resistance to an enforcement of the conscript law, and bloody collision occurs, and civil war is inaugurated in our midst, what citizen's property, life or home would be secure? It says men cry "peace, peace." when there is no peace short of subjugating this rebellion. It calls upon the President to execute the conscript law, and threatens impeachment for failure to extinguish the rebellion, and calls on the people to frown down all attempts to create riots and insurrections. The Jacobin teachings of Vallandigham & Co. will not be much longer tolerated by the Administration. No peace conventions, no concessions should be granted to the rebels. A single great Union victory now will bring the rebellion into dust. [The Herald is evidently alarmed at the prospect of "insurrection" at home.] General Foley intends to reduce Puckle, and proposals to march upon the capital.

A British Monument to "Stone. Wall" Jackson. We see in the English papers that the distinguished gentlemen who head the movement for expressing in a suitable form the admiration in that country for the memory of "Stone wall" Jackson, have nearly completed their plans. A statue in marble, of heroic size, 7 feet in height, by Foley, is to be presented to the native State of Jackson, Virginia, to be placed in the Capitol at Richmond. The statue will rest on a pedestal of granite designed by the same artist, and on one side it is proposed to inscribe that this is a testimony of England's admiration for a truly noble character on the other side Gen. Lee's order of the day, informing the army of its sad loss. It is estimated that the statue, without the pedestal, will cost £500 more. In all, £1,500. The sum is to be raised by subscriptions. The committee which has this matter in hand consists at present of the following names: Sir James Fergusson, M P, Mr. A Beresford Hope, Sir

deputed to make a new Constitution for Louisiana were hammering away at their work. They are authorized to do it by "ten thousand," the number prescribed by Lincoln. Among them are a few lawyers, who manage the whole affair, and shape the new instrument as best pleases them.--It is disgusting to read the official reports of their debates. The question was on an article in reference to the negroes: Mr. Montamat--I move to amend by adding, "No negro shall be permitted to vote. " Mr. Foley--That has been decided upon in the report of the Committee on the Legislative Department. Mr. Stauffer--It is out of order on that account. President — The chair decides that inasmuch as that question was finally passed upon in connection with the report of the Committee on the Legislative Department, it is out of order. Mr. Montamat--I appeal. Mr. Henderson--Under the report adopted, only free white male citizens can be voters, and that is strong enough. Mr. Monte
