BALTIMORE, April 12. – A dispatch from New Orleans to the Richmond Whig dated April 5, says the enemy shelled Pass Christian yesterday, and landed 2,400 men and 12 4-pound howitzers. Our force was 2,500 men and two howitzers. We made a narrow escape.
A letter from Pattonsburg, North Carolina, to the Richmond Whig, says the Nashville was taken to sea by Lieut. Wm. C. Whittle and that she was taken to Charleston to be delivered to her new owner. The Richmond Whig contains news from Yorktown that Gen. Magruder, with his staff, was at the Lee House near Lee’s Mills on Sunday, and came near being captured or killed by Gen. Keyes. The horse of one of his staff was killed under him in his flight by a shell.
On Monday Jeff Davis addressed some wounded soldiers and said he intended to share their fate on the next battle-field, and come weal or woe, he would be with them, and whatever might betide, whether victory or defeat ensued, of one thing he assured them, the course is safe – we’ll conquer in the end.
The Richmond Whig Contains a dispatch announcing that the rebel General Gladden lost his arm in the Pittsburg battle of Sunday.
