- Lot Description
The New South. Port Royal, SC: July 25, 1863. Vol. 1, No. 46. 4pp, 9.5 x 13 in. Joseph Sears, editor and proprietor.
Center section with nearly two full pages on the Charleston Expedition and the Land and Naval Attack on Fort Wagner. The latter, of course, includes a description of Strong's brigade, to which the 54th Massachusetts had been detailed, and their attack on the fort, the event portrayed in "Glory." At the bottom of page 3, in "Other Officers Killed, Wounded or Captured," Sears reports: "The following are some of the casualties among officers on the 18th; ...Col. Robert Shaw, 54th Mass., prisoner and reported killed;..." Other than Lieutenant Colonel Green of the 48th Ohio and Lieutenant Libby of General Strong's staff, both killed, most of the reports are of severely wounded officers. Many line officers also died.
The last page describes the New York Draft Riots, taking up most of the middle column. Sears begins:
The accounts published in the New York papers of the 11th, 12th and 13th inst., of the proceedings taken by the Provost Marshals to carry out the Conscription Act in that city, produced such an effervescence of public feeling that by an early hour on Monday morning it became apparent that resistance to the Draft had been an understood thing among a large number of disaffected persons, ever ready to obey the call of unprincipled leaders.
On page 1 is a description of Morgan's raid into Indiana and southwestern Ohio:
Cincinnati, July 14 - Morgan's rebel forces crossed the Big Miami, at Venice last night, and burned the bridge behind them. They passed through Burlington and Springdale, and crossed the Hamilton and Dayton Railroad at Glendale this morning, moving toward Camp Denison. It is not known how much damage the rebels have done at Glendale or to the Hamilton and Dayton Railroad. Telegraph communication is still open with Hamilton. Morgan's men are reported to be much jaded with their rapid march, and will have to rest soon. Six of Morgan's men were captured at Milford, Clermont and four more at New Boston.
Morgan's rebel forces reached Miamiville, on the Little Miami road, this morning, tore up the track and fired into the accommodation tram coming west. The train put quickly back to Lyveland [sic - Loveland].
Another report on the third page: "A Balloon was seen in the air over Fort Johnston for an hour or two yesterday, but the rebels are welcome to all the information they got."
An active week at the height of the war.
