Rapidan (Virginia, United States) (search for this): article 7
April. A short reference t the series of battles which then occurred may not be out of place just here. One the 28th of April, Hooker threw one corps of his army across the Rappahannock, at Bernard's, just below Fredericksburg, whilst with the rest, having broken up camp, he marched rapidly to Kelly's Ford, a point twenty-two miles above Fredericksburg, on the Rappahannock. At this point the crossed the Rappahannock, and thence marched his forces to Germanna and Elley's fords, on the Rapidan river, across which he succeeded in crossing almost unobstructedly (for we had only cavalry vidette at these fords) by Thursday, the last day of April.--Hooker then turned the head of his column down the river towards Fredericksburg. In front of the Chancellorsville He use, Anderson's division, then of Longstreet' corps, which had been guarding the United States Ford, first took up a line of battle on Thursday evening; but finding themselves confronting a very largely superior force, were com

e. At the same time a balloon ascended near the Lacey house, on the Stafford side, to observe our movements. Gen. Early seeing the Yankees abandon their lines on his front, and supposing they meet to reach Chancellorsville to aid Hooker, at once ordered his men to move, and started to join Gen. Lee. The Yankees were then enabled, by means of their balling, to discover the force with which we were defending the line at Fredericksburg. As soon as they observed our move from the heights of Stafford, with their balloon, they began to countermarch, again threw down their pontoons, and reoccupied their old position about dark of Saturday evening, at the Bernard house, just below Fredericksburg.During Saturday night they also crossed opposite to the town, and, for the first time during this move, occupied it. The "dawn's early light" of Sunday, May 3d, found Hooker half whipped and his army considerably demoralized at Chancellorsville. Whilst at Fredericksburg, Early was lying int h

ning. He at once assumed command and ordered an advance, himself leading it and moving along. The the skirmishers.--The enemy, who had upon us during the night of Thursday, began to give back gradually during the day of Friday before the determined advance of our men. At night of Friday, May 1st,McLaws's and Audemon's divisions, of Longstreet's corps, were confronting the enemy is front of Chancellorsville, (Pickett's and Hood's divisions, of Longstreet's corps, had not then returned from Suffolk.) On Friday night, after a consultation, it was determined to attack the enemy on his right flank and endeavor to turn it. For this purpose Gen. Jackson took with him three divisions of his corps, consisting of A. P. Hill's right division, now embraced in Wilcox's division and a part of Heth's division; Trimbles' old division, now commanded by Gen. Edward Johnson, and D. H. Hill's old division, now as then commanded by Rodes, be (H.) having received his promotion from Jackson on the field f

this move, occupied it. The "dawn's early light" of Sunday, May 3d, found Hooker half whipped and his army considerably demoralized at Chancellorsville. Whilst at Fredericksburg, Early was lying int he trenches confronting Sedgwick's corps, and awaiting his onward move. Soon after day the enemy opened with their artillery from their positions both at Fredericksburg and at the Bernard House. This they kept up until about nine o'clock, when, having massed their troops in front of Marye's Heights, they buried their columns against the stone-wall — the first time unsuccessfully; for Barksdale, the gallant Mississippian, with his band of heroes, met the shock of battle and nobly buried it back. The enemy pause and resort to artifice. A flag of truce is exhibited, and in an evil moment the gallant Colonel (Griffin, of the 18th Miss,) received it.--They enemy thus discover that instead of holding the Stonewall with a line of battle, Barksdale's men are so stretched out that they a

Walton (search for this): article 8
Allegheny College. To the Editor of the Dispatch: I learn from Rev. Mr. Walton, the Agent, that this institution continues to receive liberal contributions from our citizens generally. This is as it should be. Allegheny College, though originally projected by a particular denomination and under its special care, (as, indeed, is the case with all literary institutions not belonging to the State or to some order,) is organized on the most catholic foundation, and affords equal facilities to those of all denominations who repair to its halls. Students for the ministry of every church are here educated free of tuition, and the sons of ministers of every persuasion are charged-half price. The new feature adopted by this institution, by which special and generous arrangements are proposed to be offered to maimed soldiers, and to the sons of those who have died for their country, must meet with universal favor. The condition of our currency now affords to benevolent men an
