2291 - L. Sept. 9; ed:2/1 - The Port of Wilmington, in North Carolina,
is the only port left for blockade runners, and through it the Rebel
credit and cotton loan is maintained in Europe.
"It is therefore the duty of the Government to turn the attention of
the Navy in that direction, and when it is taken, the Rebel credit will
be forever lost in Europe." (3)

2480 - L May 16; ed: 2/1 - The terrific fighting of May 12 and the movements
of our cavalry have completed the withdrawal of Lee from Grant's front in
the direction of Danville and Lynchburg. Generals Sherman and Butler are
in positions to advance toward victory. "The retreat of Lee has undoubted-

2519 - L. Sept. 29; ed: 2/1 - Amid all the victories over which the North is
exulting, there is a constant looking forward to the prospective capture
of Richmond. At present every indication points to its speedy capture.
Sherman will no doubt send two corps of his army to Lynchburg by way of
Knoxville. This would enable the combined forces of Sherman and Sheridan,
on both sides of Richmond, to move down on the city "like an avalanche from
the mountain sides."
"Lee will make a desperate effort to avoid impending ruin in Virginia,
but it is written in the decrees of God." (13)

2520 - L. Sept. 29; ed:2/2 - Latest reports represent great agitation in
the Rebel lines in front of Grant. Lee is putting forth every effort to
check Sheridan's men as they advance toward Lynchburg, but he may find
Grant suddenly swooping down upon Danville or making some other unexpected
In OVe.
"The signs are hopeful in the North. Dismay reigns in rebeldom." (6)
