HAHPKk's FEKKY Saturday Nov J. 1901
Professor Lowe made balloon reconnaissance
thi. afternoon from Bolivar Nights. Rebel cavalry
were discovered in some force short distance this
side Of Charlesiown, and three sections Of battery
stationed 20 as to command the turnpike which
passes through the town.
The Rebels display Themselves quite freely, with
the evident design of provoking an attack from our
forces on Bolivar Nights hoping to draw them with
in tho reach Of their masked batteries They had
evidently not reckoned on the balloon, and the plan
won't work
The canuouading at Union could be heard quite
plainly on Bolivar Hight.
The correspondent Of Tie baltimore american
was arrested, or at least ordered to be arrested in
consequence OF the publication of contraband newf
in that paper on Monday AMI Tuesday last, and wae
also notified that repetition Of the oenss would be
followed Wy the exclusion OF their correspondents
from the line. The War Department did not pafs
the reports in question al they werenot teleGarbcd
and n portion Of tue same Information sent to The
Heraa was suppressed BY the Government. censor
at Washington.
