The Bewitching Widow in Confederate Camp Legends
A long narrative recounts a Civil War episode at Mrs W s plantation near Holly Springs where Union officers guard defenceless women. The tale blends romance with danger as Guerrilla discipline, paroled captives, and sly pranks unfold amid muddy roads, a guarded house, and late night escapes. Captains Brin and Orton narrate their forced parole and humorous misadventures.

Widow’s Grief and a Captain’s Compliments Mark Divided Night
Fragmentary notes recount a troubled division with a widow central to the tensions. The speaker, Captain C. L. Orton, offers compliments while a reader “Miss” is deemed undeserving. The text hints at ignorance, truth, and lingering unrest after a fateful night.

Withdrawn from Charleston harbor after urging second Sumter attack
The fleet, including the monitors and frigates, remains at their anchorage with orders to withdraw to Port Royal for repairs. Admiral Dupont and all ironclad commanders concur that a second assault on Sumter is unwise given fortifications and risks. The Keokuk and Nahant crews improve. A Springfield Ohio Union meeting features Gen Carey urging use of Black troops.
