The Daily Dispatch: November 23, 1863., [Electronic resource], The burial of Dr. Wright at Norfolk. (search)
ook place from Christ Church. Services opened after the usual Episcopal formula — organist performing a dirge, and ministers, followed by friends and family, entering the centre aisle and approaching the altar--Rev. Mr. Parkman reading the customary service. The family seated — of which some five were present, Mr. and Mrs. Talbot, the eldest daughter, and two children — the ministers passed the chancel, and Rev. Mr. Okeson, read the 15th chapter of Paul's 1st Epistle to the Corinthians. Mr. Rodman then gave out the 184th hymn at the conclusion of which he offered up a prayer touchingly relevant. Notwithstanding the violence of the storm that raged the entire day with only short intervals of abatement, the capacious edifice was thronged with about two thousand citizens of both sexes, the larger proportion being ladies. A line of carriages, about three blocks long, followed the hearse, a string of pedestrians of equal, if not greater length, following in immediate proximity. La<

ockade runner, had been captured on his way to Richmond with packages for hospitals. Affairs are very gloomy at Norfolk: The order of the Beast, requiring all per fore engaging in any business whatever the oath of allegiance to the Lincoln Government coupled with another order prohibition of the fer or sale of any property on the part of any have not taken the oath, is producing great distress. Heretofore those true to the South have refused to engage in any business, preferring to sell their household goods, piece by piece, to obtain subsistence. But now this is denied them, and it is take the bated oath or suffer hunger and starvation. It is not, therefore, surprising that many heretofore prominent citizens have yielded to stern necessity and taken the oath. Among those who have recently yielded an unwilling compliance we have heard the names of Rev. Mr. Rodman, pastor of Christ's Church; Dr. Tunstall, Dr. John B, Whitehead, Tazewell Taylor, Thos, H. Eilis, and others.

ith quite as much joy as that of Mr. Chase, and recommend him warmly to the people. In this conduct of the Democrat we see only new danger, and the greatest danger for freedom. To give up Radical positions and fall back into the camp of those lazybones who are intent to digest the spoils, exposes us to a disastrous defeat. Our State ticket, so unanimously adopted, will surely be beaten by the tactics of the Democrat. For how can that paper advocate Fremont Radicals like Fetcher and Rodman in the some columns in which it defends Abe Lincoln, or some other conservative? It is our duty to point this danger out now, since the Democrat has declared "the nomination of Fremont did not change our conviction of the impropriety of the Cleveland Convention." The Republican, on the other side, comes openly out for Lincoln, and promises him its support and re-election, if he only will chase the few radical fuss makers to the devil, and remain conservative, Kentuckian, and tyranni

the Third division and sent it around upon the other road, where he had arranged to have General Ames's division of the Twenty-fourth corps meet them and march together, to come in upon the north side of the fort, the only place at which the enemy could escape. General Cox had provided himself in advance with competent guides to conduct his column by the intricate roads leading through this part of the country; and by the middle of the afternoon he was in motion, with Cockrell's battery of Rodman's guns. --He had, as yet, made no use whatever of this battery, and the enemy had no reason to suppose that there was any artillery with the column. During the heat of the engagement, the band of the One Hundred and Fourth Ohio kept up a constant serenade of patriotic music. The rebels, determined not to be out-done, also posted a brass band upon the parapet of their work, which discoursed opposition melody. Among the more conspicuous tunes was recognized a favorite Southern air, "Who's b
