Rebel Attempt to Blow Up a Railroad
Train—The Capture of the Steamer
Fawn—General Palmer—An Epidemic.
at Newbern.
(Boatel Correspondence of The Press.]
_
DlEWBERifik:iff., September 16, 1864.
Everything Is in stritteitto here at present; if I may
be allowed to except the occasional arrival and de
partttre of troops. The 9th Vermont Vol. Infantry,
Ridgely'oommanding, left for home on the 12th
inst. a The regiment has re-enlisted, and goes home on
twenty days' furlough. The colonel is amen highly
respected by all his brother - of:deers; and much loved
by his men..., l Tilli other , officers are yery. .highly
spoken of, and I am assured that the entire regi
ment is One Of the finest that as ever stationed at
this "place. So much for the "Green Mountain
boys."- They never bring dishonor to their State.
Ari attempt was made on the morning of the 12th:
Inst. to blow up , the train running from this place to •
Batohelor's creek, by. placing a torpedo on the
track ; but very fortunitelysit failed—merely by ac
cident,'t hough, I imagine. An excavation was made
under the ties,•in which' the torpedo was so placed
that the weight of the train upon the ties would :
cause it to explode. - The explosion occurred direct
ly under the locomotive, taseing
. off Pine side,
being probably placed too near the end of the ties.
No serious damage was done, merely tearing up the
track, and jOstling the train considerably. The
superintendent informs me that the track Is ex
amined very closely, every morning, but this had
been so nicely arranged as to defy detection. The
enemy haVe not been near the road lately, and the
orinie' can be attached to no one but the serill-Cdre
federate citizens' living thereabout, and I am in
formed that they are numerous, and at times very
outspeken.l , •
Why it is that these persons, known to hold senti
ments in antagonism to the . Government; are al-
lowed'to peaceably remain where so many lives and
So much property aro in jeopardy, is a questiod. It
may be a good.policy to be lenient to rebels who are
not orabreaking, but under such circumstances as'
these 1 - think'it must be a mistaken one.
The late-disaster to 'the steamer Fawn reveals a
very loose state of• affairs in that direction. It has
been the custom to. send almost .
.all mails and other
valuables, with whatever paisongers there might
be, by this route, with - out any protection whatever,
even after boats had been repeatedly captured and
sunk. 'The inhabitants along the canal hare ever
been noted - for their hatred to the Federal cause, .
and to them a good share of the blame has hereto
fore been laid; yet no measures were taken to pre
vent repetitions.
The Fawn had a very large mail for the forces
and fleet in this district, with some Government
stores aridrooriey, but how much is not yet known.
The force that captured her was small, and had laid
in ambush at that place, for several days, intending
to capture her, as she went up, but being under eon•
voy of a steamer loaded with negro recruits, whom
ttey mistook for soldiers, the plan was then given

Brigadier General J. N. Palmer, lately command
lug this department, . has gone North, leaving in
command Brigadier General Edward Harland.
General Palmer has done a great and good work at
this place—a work that will leave hies in grateful
remembrance of the people long after the war shall
hive closed. The city, dirty and unkempt as it was
whin he tookcommand, has gradually assumed a'
cleanly and 'neat appearance, nuisances have been
removed, tern-down wharves have been rebuilt, the
streets have been filled up and• graded, and. the
hordes of negroes have been compelled to comport
themselves more decently: •
News from' the fleet in the Sounds reports nothing
of any interest transpiring.
• The Tacony, a - double-ender, which was lately or
dered North for's :heavier battery, has returned.
She has now on board two seleven-inott, with four
broadside nine-inch guns, a very formidable battery.

.ARRIVAL' OF REFUGEES AT NEWBERN—olielltom
THE QUARTERMASTER'S DEPARTMENT—FRO.
• TECTION OF TRIG CANAL AND RAILROAD.
Newsreels, N. C., Sept. 19, 1864.
I have been disappointed concerning the mails on
account of the closing of the canal ; Olds we have
ha &no regular communication with the North. It
is supposed that Colonel Webster, chief quarter-
So aster at Fortress Monroe, will establish a line of:
armed boats through the canal.
A large number of refugees came within our lines
yesterday under the flag of trace. They are all
Northern persons, who had been living in the inte
rior of this State before the rebellion, and did not
succeed in escaping, or rather were deluded into
the belief that there would be no war: Such is the
ease, almost without an exception, with all , of this
class of persons that I have met. They had re.
mained long enough in the - South to have imbibed
the same feeling as that of the chivalry, that the
North could not be so blind as to rush into a war
with the South, but would quietly allow them to
1' withdraw."
There were several very "intelligent persons"
among these, including two or three "Yankee
school•marms," I think; who gave me some very
lucid and interesting accounts of affairs in Dixie,'
but they are so very nearly like those which all
refugees give that I do not know that they would
be of anyinterest to your readers. The " sehoOl-'
warms" seem to have gone South, like most others
of their class, with the Intention, or rather hope,
of marrying some one of the chivalric band, but in
this were very cruelly disappointed, all - their good
looks and winsome • ways to the contrary notwith
standing; and upori the outbreaking of the war
were still more cruelly allowed - to shift for them
selves. To hear their very pitiful tales - of sorrow
and woe would melt the heart of a brick, but amid
all _I was very much struck with the idea that they
did not so much sorrow for all other things as for
the down.casting of their hopes. It is to be la
mented that our Yankee girls should have gone so
low, but from the many cases of a like kind that I
have seen, I s ax fully convinced that It is a fact.
A 'Change has lately been- made in the quarter
master's 'department at this place, by the promo
tion of Captain R. C. Webster, late chief Q. M., to
a coloneloy 'and chief Q. M. of the Department of
Virginia and North Carolina, and the assignment
of Captain 'Holden, next in rank, as Chief
Q. M. of the of North Carolina. Captain
Holden is a Very talented young man,fully competent
for the great and onerous duties of the position, and
truly Singularly beloved by all knowing him. He is
a resident of Marietta, Ohio, and was one 'of the first
that the notedly loyal college at that place gave
for the defence of tho Union. At the head of his class
there, he has over kept steadily onward in the same
course. That the Government 'could - not have
' made a better selection is apparent to all that know
him.
se2 f
The great want of money In the quartermaster's
department at this place. has produced among its
Mani! employees a great deal of suffering. A large
proportion of the black population are employed'on
Govermrient works, but have received no money
EIDER . June Ist, and as their one ration will not feed
an entire family, I learn that there has been ex
treme destitution, amounting, in some cases, alinost
to starvation. General 'Harlandhas issued an order
to the effect that the commissary department shall
sell to them, on credit, such provisions as they may
need, to 'an amount not exceeding the sum due them
from Government, upon the presentation of a cer
tificate to that effect from the chief quartermaster.
The late attacks on the trains running to Beau
fort have catisedLthe commanding general to order
that twenty-five men and a commissioned officer be
detailed as guard for each train.
The epidemic, raging here does not seem to abate
in the least. It has certainly been ascertained to
be caused by the drying up of the numerous swamp's
around the city, and a steady east wind has driven
the miasma directly upon us. I hear that the sur
geons have decided that It is a malignant remittent
fever, as a basis, but aro afraid to say that it is the
yellow lever. • Many persona well acquainted with
the latter disease inform me that it is assuredly a
n,ild form of it. •
The r at. cry is rain ! rain ! rain ! that the swamps
may he tilled ; but no rain comes.

Out—History of the Affair. ' '
• -.
(Special Cotrespondenee of The Press.)
Torono, Ohlo, Sept. 21,188#: ~
The great excitement this week is the rebel raid
from Canada. The ihmerS have been coming thick
and fast eiernince the beginning of the affair, and
they are lust now taking definite !belie., At first
it was reported that - the rebels had -- two armed
steamers on the lakes, and were Preparing to break
up our commerce as much as possible. Then it came
that two propellers and a side.wheel steamer had
been seized in some Canadian port, armed with
guns, and sent forth on a piratical expedition, - with
orders to sink, burn, and destroy, after the manner
of the Alabama. Then it was stated that the boats_
were moving towards Buffalo, with the object of
laying that city under heavy. contribution. One
after another theie stories were disproved., It is
certain that the people along the lakes were pro
digiously frightened, and ready to believe anything.
Gradually they have come to their senses, and now ,
think they are not in as great danger as they might
be. It was difficult to convince them of their safety
forty hours ago. .
It appears that about six weeks ago a gentleman
of pleasing address made his appearance at San-
dusky, and put up at -the West House. He called'
himself Cole, and said he resided in Philadelphia,
and had lately speculated largely in coal mines and'.
realized handsomely. - He had plenty of money,
both gold and treasury notes, and spent it in the
most lavish manner. He made friends with many of
the Citizens, chiefly those of the Copperhead stripe,
and was noticed to be often-with them. lie was on
`good terms with the officers of the gunboat Michi
gan, and visited that craft quite frequently. His
acquaintance became so Intimate that he frequently
dined on. board the boat, and, as often had the offi
cars of the boat dining.witlx-him. A short time ago
- a refugee from the South•recognized Mr. Cote as an
offieerlf. the rebel army. The matter was kept
perfectly quiet, and the discovery was unknown to
Cole. _He was kept Under strict suryefflance!
though not aware of it, and his intimacy with citi
zens and• ostensibly with the gunboat officers was
much the same as before. On - Sunday last the offi
cials received information that ' , the• affair was
• coming to a head, and that some important arrests
would Of , necessity be made, .. '-
On papal morning Mr. Cole sent invitations

greed by the presence of !several leading citizens of
thei place. The invitations, with a single exception,
wore promptly accepted. The one declining said
that ho did so with great reluctance, but that Cs,pt.
Carlin would not let him go unless Mr Cole made
poisoned solicitation in his behalf. Accordingly
Mi. Cole proceeded to the. Michigan, and when
faitly.on board was arrested and put in irons. I
was rumored that the engineer of the boat was In
, complicity with Mr. Cole, but it is not certain:
1 When arrested he was informed of the charge
against him, and told that he had been watched for
a long , time. He confessed to , the charge of being a .
relief officer, and said that his object.was to.capture
the Michigan and release the prisoners on John
son's bland. Both these things being accomplished,
they would sweep all commerce - from the lakes and
destroy the cities. .
He said the plan was for men from . Canada to
seize the Steamer Philo Parsons on. her way down
from Detroit, and after her the Island Queen. The
boats would reach the mouth of Sandusky Harbor
about" dusk, or a little later. At the time they
were le be at dinner at the West House,
the g nboa,t - left in charge of Inferior - officers
would! be an easy capture. The food and
winesat the dinner were to be drugged, so that
i ffi
that e ocer s would be unlit for -duty until long
t
after e affair was over. The gunboat once in the
bandepfthe conspirators, the prisoners on the Island
woulrbe liberated and transported to Canada. The
work >f destroying the commerce on the lakes would
then , e begun, and as the Michigan is the only gun

their wiz way. Having made a part , of his confes
sion, e said the Canada portion •of the programme
had übtless been fully carried ant, and that the

was instituted by Mr. G. Buckley, landlord of the,
Ran - elagh Arms Tavern; Old Ford, who stated :
"Last night, abont'eleven o'clook, I was in the bar
talking to my customers andexpressingthe extreme
gratification I felt at the capture of Midler, with
the extra evidence against , him, when.the prisoner,
who was , present in front of the bar, suddenly.r&
rtarked,' could wager a fortune, if rhad it, that
there were two men congregated in it.' A gentleman
who was present turned rouud and said, You (night

Another person remarked; am really astonished
at your saying this ; if a constable was within hear;
hag he would apprehend you.' I then called the . pri•
soner into the taproom." • •
Mir. Safford (clerk)—" Was he sober 1"
;_,Witness 7 - 4, No, he was not quite sober.''
,Prisonor—" No, you gave' me so many glasies of
brandy and water—about thirty—you made me
drunk."
Mr. Ellison- 4 ' It will be better; probably, not to
make .any statement at -present., Yon can cross
examine the witness presently.”
f [The prisoner' here apologized, and was proceed
ing to speak again to the witness, when stopped
with some difficulty by Bendall; thejailer.)
:Evidence resumed : He took my hand, burst into
tears, and sobbed out, wish to have. fifty pounds
weight taken off my shoulders.' I asked, What is
the, matter with:pout' He then said : . 4 Muller and I
were .hard up, we wanted money and money
we would have; it (the murder) was' contem
plated three days before it took place. We
went to. ,Fenchurch street, waited there until
Mr; Briggs arrived, and took. two first-olass tick
ets to •Hackniay Wick. We did not, commence
• our operations until we hid just left Bow star
station. I then struck, him twice, Muller struck him
time times. Midler opened the door and /aid hold of
his body. ' I lifted him up by his legs and threw him ,

to the Mitford Castle, wont into the parlor; and
hpard the fireman of the engine hallo out that some
person was run over on the- line. ,1 went ; to assist,

bathed his temples." Witness from this point con
tinued to the effect that; being., strongly impressed,
from the prisoner's statement and'mariner, that. hie
representations were truthful, he thought it prudent
; to acquaint those outside the room with what had

LETTER OP GENERAL ROOD.
HEADQUARTERS -ARMY OP TENNESSEE, .
September 12, 1864.
Major General W. T. Sherman, Commander Military
invision of the Mistrissipp:
Gmiznet, : I have the honor to acknowledge the
receipt of, your letter of the 9th instant, with ice en
closure, in reference to the women, children, and
others whom you have seen fit to' expel from their
homes in the city of Atlanta". ' Had you seen proper
to let the matter rest there, I would gladly have al
lowed,your letter to close this correspondence, and
without your expressing it in words, would' have
been willing to believe that while " the interest of
the United States,".in your opinion, compelled you
to an'act of barbarous cruelty, you regretted the
necessity, and would • have cropped , the I subject.
But you have' chosen to indulge in statements
which I feel compelled to notice, at least so
far as to signify, my dissent, and not allow
silence in regard to them to be construed as acqui
escenCe. I see nothing in your Communication
which indices me to modify the language of con
demnation with which' I oharacterizec your order.
It but strengthens me in the opinion that it stands
"pre-eminent in the dark history of war, for studied
and ingenious cruelty." Your original order was
stripped of all .pretence; you announced the edict
for the sole reason that it'was "to theinterest Of the
United .States." This alone you offered to us and
the civilized worldas an all-sufticient reason for
disregarding the' lanai of God and Man. You
say • that "General. -Johnston himself, very
a Hely and .properly; removed the families
all the way from Dalton - down:" It is due
to the gallant soldier . and gentleman to say,
that 'no act of his distinguished career gives the
least color to your unfounded aspersion upon his
,conduct.- He depopulated no villages, nor towns,
ncr cities, either friendly or hostile. He offered and
exchanged iriendlyAid to WV unfortunate ielloyr
citizens who desired.to flee from your fraternal em
brace. You are unfortunate in your attempt to find,
a. justification for this act of cruelty, either its the
defence of Jonesboro by Gen. Hardee, or of Atlanta
by myself. Gen. Hardee; defended his position in
front of Jonesboro at the expense of injury to the
houses an ordinary, proper, and justifiable act of
I
war.' defended Atlanta at the same risk and Cost.
If there. was any fault in either case, it was
your • own, an not , giving notice, especially is
the case of Atlanta, of your purpose to shell the
town, which is usual in war amongelvllizodnations.
No inhabitant,of either town was expelled from
his home and- fireside by either General Hardee or
myself, and, therefore, your recent order can find
no support irom the conduct of either of us. I feel
no other emotion than pain in reading that portion
of your letters which attempts to - justify your shell
ing of Atlanta without; notice, under the pretence
that I defended Atlanta upon a line so close to
town that every cannon shot, and many musket
balls from your, line of: investment, that overshot
„their mark, went' into - the habitations of women
and children. Sl.nre:de „no complaint of your firing
into Atlanta .in any way_ you thought proper. I
make none nowsbutsthere are a hundred thousand
living' witnesses that you fired into the habitations
of women and children foss weeks, firing far above
and miles beyond my line of defence. I have too
good an opinion, founded both upon observation
and .experience, of the skill, of your' artillerists to
credit the assertion that they, for several weeks,'
unintentionally fired too high for my modest field
works, and slaughtered women and children by ac
cident and avant of skilL - •
The residue of your letter is rather discursive. It
~,- , - sialassfiresathels_diestuasionscfAtatestions
which do not feel are oommitted to irair am - only
a general of one of the armies of the Confederate
States charged with military operations in the
field, under the direction of my superior officers, add
I am not called upon to' discuss with you the cause
of the present war, or the political questions
which led to or resulted from it. These grave and
important questions have been committed to far
abler hands than mine, and I shall only refer to
them so far as to repel any unjust conclusion which
might be drawn from my silence. You charge my
country with " daring and badgering you to battle."
The truth 19, we sent commissioners to you respect
fully offering a' peaceful separation, before the first
gunswas fired on either side. Yon may say we in
sulted your flag. The truth is, we fired upon it and
those who fought under it, when you - came. to oar
doors upon the mission of subjugation. Yon say we
seized upon your forts and arsenals, and made pori
soners or the garrisons sent to protect us against
negroes and Indians. The truth is, we expelled by
force of arms: insolent intruders, and took posses
sion of our own forts and arsenals, to resist your'
claim to dominion over masters, slaves, and In- -
diens, all of whom are, to thls day, with unanimity'
.unexampled in the history of the • world, warring
against your attempts to-become their maitters."
You say that we tried to force Missouri and Ken
tucky into rebellion in 'suite of themselves. The •
truth is, my Government, from the beginning
of' this struggle to this hour; ha.sjagain and again
• offered, before the whole world, to leave it to the
.unblaseds.will' of those States, and all others, to
determine for themselves whether they will cast
their destiny with your Government or ours, and
.your Government has resisted this fundamental
principle of free institutions with the bayonet, and
labors daily, by force and fraud, to fasten its hateful
tyranny upon the unfortunate freemen of these
States. You say we falsified the vote of Louisiana.
The truth is, Louisiana not only separated herself.
.from your . Government by nearly a unanimous vote_
of her people, but has vindicated the act upon every ,
battle-field, from Gettysburgto the Sabine, and has
exhibited an heroic devotion to her, decision which-
challenges the admiration and respect of Every man
capable of feeling, sympathy for the. oppressed or
admiration for heroic _ valor. ' You say that we
turned loose pirates to plunder your unarmed
ships. The truth As s when you robbed us of our
part of the navy we built' and bought a few vessels,
hoisted the flag of our country '
, and swept the seas
in defiance of your navy around the whole circum
ference of,the globe. You say we have expelled'
Union families by thousands. The truth is,
not a single family has been expelled from
the Confederate States, that lam aware of,'
but on the contrary the moderation .of our ,
Government toward traitors has been a fruit
less theme of denunciation by its enemies and many
well-meaning friends of our cause. You say my
Government, by acts of Congress, has confiscated'
i‘ all debts due Northern men for goods, sold and,
delivered." The truth is, Congress gave due and
ample time to your merchants and traders to depart"
from our shores with their ships, goods, and effects,
and only sequestered the property of our enemies
in retaliation, for their acts, declaring us traitors,
and confiscating our property wherever their power
extended, either in their country, or our own. Such
are your accusations, and such are the facts known ;
to all men to be true.
You order into exile the whole population of I
city, drive men, women, and children from their
houses'at the point of the bayonet, under the plea
that it is to the interest of your Government, and on
the claim that this is an act of " kindness to these
families of Atlanta." Butler only banished from
New Orleans the registered enemies of his Govern
ment,and acknowledged that he did it as a punish= .
merit. • You Wine a sweeping edict covering all the
inhabitants of .a city, and add insult to the injury
heaped upon the defenceless, by assuming that you
have done them a kindness. This you follow:by the
assertion that you will "make as much sacrifice for
the peace and honor of the South as the best born
Sonihron." And because I characterize what you
call kindness as being real cruelty, you presume to
sit in judgment between me and my God, and you .
decide- that my earnest prayer to the Almighty
Father to save our women and children from what
lon- call kindness is a "sacrilegious, hypocritical
appeal-"
Yon come into our country with your: army
avowedly for the purpose of subjugating free. white
men, women and children; and not only intend to
rule over them, but you make negroes your allies,
HDu ct , 711 . 6 tz anima over 1, S• 11 / ITlreir2 r:hiell
wehave raised - from barbarism to its present position,
which is the highest ever'attained by that race in
any country In all time. • I must, therefore, decline
to accept your statements in, reference to your
kindneSs toward the people of Atlanta, and your
willingness to sacrifice everything for the peace and
honor of the'Sonth, and refuse to be governed by
your decision inregard to matters between myself.
my country, and my God.
You say, "let us fight It out like men." To this
my reply is, for myself, and, I .bidieve; for all true
men—aye, and women and children---in my country,
we will fight you to death. - Better diva thousand
deaths than, to submit to live under, you or your
Government, and your negro allies.
•Having answered the points forced upon me by
your letter of the 9th September I close this cor
respondence with you, and notwithstanding your
comments upon my appeal to God in the cause of
humanity, I. again humbly and reverently invoke
His'Almighty aid in defence of justice and right.
Respectfully, your obedient servant, •
