War News Fifty Years Ago
(From the Richmond Dispach Feb IS 1862

Since tho salutes fred by the Fcdcrals on tho
2@d tWashingtons birthday. which they falsely
reported to he in honor of a great Nirsinian, and
on the next day. which they openly declared to
hc in celebration of the fall Of Charleston. the
sound of big guns has not been heard on the
north side of the James.
In front of Petersburg. the national salute
was fired with shOttcd shell by General Grants
artillery and under direct orders. Som" of the
shells fell in the city of Petersburg. and
fortunately very little damage was done.
On the north side OF the james River the
Fcdcrals have done considerable artillery firing
FOR the past three days. II turns out that the
most Of the cunning WAS with blank cartridges
and in celebration Of Washngtons birthday in
the first place. and in the second place, In cello
bration of the fall-pf Charleston. However. the
firing did but littl68ramagc. and promptly
replied TO by the Confederate guns.
The cunning and the cumming forth by
the Fcdcrals on the Petersburg and Richmond
lines may have been. as they claimed only in
the cunning was replied to by tho Confederate
batteries. and the enemy at least taught
That the Confcdcrates were not sleeping.
For several days there has been a great deal
Of stir within the Federal lines south of Peters
burg so much in fact. as to give rise TO the be-
lief that the Federals concentrating for
another attack on tho Confederate extreme right
General Lee is ready for any assault the enemy
Is liking for al that point
The reports still come in that General Grant
is moving a great many OF his troops from the
environs OF Petersburg and Richmond to
strengthen and advance SChohclds army to
help Sherman in his invasion OF the Carolinas
The drenehing rain of yesterday kept General
Grant and his forces rather quiet The same
may be said OF General Lee and his brave men.
General Joseph l.. Johnston was Yesterday
by order of General Lee, the comma in
charge OF all OF tho armies of the Confederate
States. placed in command OF all OF the forces
opposing the march OF sherman through the
South.

Sir--ln your article Of Yesterday regarding

saying: III the United States should decide

Alaska Is no longer Russian possession?

that Shaw is fool. but the fact that he is a n
