Flag ship "Malvern," Beaufort N.C. Sept 30, 1864. The following extracts from late Wilmington and Fayetteville, N.C. newspapers, referring to the recent loss of blockade runners captured or destroyed by the blockaders off the post of Wilmington, and to the present stringency of the blockade of that port, are published for the satisfaction of the officers and men engaged on this arduous duty. A list of the fifty (50) sea steamers captured or destroyed in violating the blockade of Wilmington since Aug, 1st 1863, S.P. Lee Acting Rear-Admiral, Commanding North Atlantic Blockading Squadron. From "The Daily Journal," Wilmington, N.C., Tuesday Sept 20, 1864. Editorials. It may be something of short of petit treason for us to say no, but still we will say it - that we are not so sure that the "TALLAHASSEE" expedition will play a large dividend. She certainly kicked up a fuss, but we doubt very much whether she weakened the military resources of the Yankee government to any appreciable extent. It is pretty certain that she has turned an unpleasant amount of attention upon this port, and may be the cause of bringing down upon us the main part of the Yankee Navy. The blockade will be doubly strict, that is certain. The Prize Streamer "Lillian." This prize steamer now at the Navy Yard in Philadelphia, is a new and sharp built Clyde propeller of 475 tons burthen, and has been libeled and appraised. The Navy Department has been informed of her appraised value, which was $140.000, and was accepted. She is admirably adapted for cruising, and will doubtless secure many a prize. So says the Philadelphia Enquirer. How many such have left Confederate ports? From "The Daily Journal," Wilmington, N.C., Tuesday Sept. 27, 1864. Editorials The mobile tribune of a late ays says: - There is not a word of news from below. The fleet is inactive and we hear nothing of the movement of the troops. Farragut as we judge from the Yankee papers had gone to another station. It is believed that he has been ordered to try his prowess at Wilmington. Possibly. There is a thundering blockade off here now; that's pretty certain, whether the man with the queer name has got anything to do it with it or not. All credit is mainly to the real or supposed presence of the "TALLAHASSEE" and sundry other mysterious sea monsters. The Yankee papers even report the FLORIDA as among the vessels that have come into this port. Loss of the "Lynx." Last night the fine blockade running steamer "LYNX" belonging to Jno. Frazer & Co * and commanded by Captain Reid, crossed New Inlet Bar and put to sea bound to Bermuda, with a cargo consisting mainly of over six hundred (600) bales of Cotton, one half on govenment account. She had also $50.000 in gold on freight for government. She had some few passengers. Just after she got she was pursued by the blockading squadron by which she was completely hemmed in. She was struck eight times six at or below the water line, Finding the ship in a sinking condition the Captain beached her five or six miles above Fort Fisher. The crew and passengers escaped with a portion of their effects, and the vessel was burned to prevent "it from failing into the hands of the enemy. The gold belonging to government was saved. The enemy got so close as to fire a volley of musketry at the "LYNX," by which one of the crew was wounded. <ul> <li> Frazer, Trenholm & Co - Trenholm now Rebel Secretary of Treasury. </li> </ul> From "The Carolinian," Fayetteville, N.C., Sept. 17, 1864. Editorial, The loss of "ADVANCE" is a pretty severe blow to our State. She had done noble service for our North Carolina Soldiers and has paid herself twenty times. There are more Clyde built steamers, and North Carolina has money to her credit in Europe. We believe that the State owned but third of the "ADVANCE."

Louisville Clay Co. Ill. Sept 29th 1864 Hon. Richard Yates, My Dear Sir. In receiving letters from strangers you often find, no doubt, that they were written by old friends - none the less warm and cordial, though you never heard of them. I am at present laboring for the Union cause in a humble way, because circumstances do not allow me to serve in a more conspicuous manner. In fact I am now editing a union county paper. I also take the stump at such places as I can reach, and shall not attempt anything else till Lincoln and our state ticket <hr /> are elected. I write this pricipally to add my voice to a thousand others in behalf of a soldiers' vote. Do, please, Governor, use all your influence to have the soldiers home on furlough. It is not enough to carry the state - we ought to - we must carry these Egyptian counties, and with half the soldiers' votes can do it. Without if it will be hardly safe for a Union man to live here. I have been here only some three months, and made my first stump speech when Atlanta fell. Next morning a delegation waited on me with peremptory orders to change my course if I <hr /> intended to remain in this community. I talked to them like a Dutch uncle", and they went away. When their passion cooled I think there was no further danger. I assure you, Governor, there is very great need of dispelling the darkness here. We have the votes of the 48 98th regs which were in part, made up here. the 98th gives 26 for McClellan, and only 9 for Richardson. The other Reg. is declared to be a perfect unit for the Union ticket For heaven's sake, have them come home. Yours with Great Respect Y. W. Hutchenson A. M. <hr /> T. W. Hutchinson A. M.

Camp Ford Tyler Texas Sep 28 1864 Dear Governor I hope you will pardon the liberty I take in addressing you. Indeed I feel assured you will do so as you take into consideration the circumstances under which I write. You are doubtless aware of the conditions of our Regt that we are prisoners of war for at least the greater portion of it and that we have been prisoners nearly six months. But you are not aware - I venture to say of our condition as prisoners nor shall I attempt to describe it to you. You may imagine the very worst possible condition of prisoners in our own country and yet not appreciate our situation here. And to say truth we feel somewhat grived - we are at a loss to know why we are allowed to remain here longer. we seem to be overlooked. We are willing to allow this charitable construction upon it. But when we know that although prisoners as we are <hr /> we [illegible] we have not disgraced ourselves our State nor the Govt.- that we were not stragglers nor disobeying orders-but that we were taken fighting "hand to hand" (as it were-in a body-we cannot but feel aggrieved especially as other prisoners (from other states) captured long since ourselves and in such numbers and under such circumstances as not to be able (we think) to render our Govt more service (at least, than we could if exchanged - still every "Illinoisian" is "passed" and others taken out and exchanged as I have before stated. There are now here about 500 - 77th Ills 130th & Mercantile Batty prisoners from our state - & have claims for exchange upon the [grounds?] of priority being the oldest prisoners (Soldiers) here.

In our Regt none have died of disease & only one from any cause. One "Private" Killed by a sentry - the 77th have lost two men by disease - & this when the mortality of the whole number of prisoners here is about 1 & 1/3 per cent per month-I am also happy to tell you that although some clad in the garb of the U.S. soldiers have proved themselves unworthy the uniform the wear & have shown themselves traitors by taking an oath of allegiance to the Rebel Govt. Others cringe & fawn about the Rebel officers to secure a little better fare or some little favor - But how proud I am to tell to you that not one Illinoisian has been so base- With my best wishes for your prosperity I have the honor to be your Obet Sevt Wm Prescott Capt 130th Ills <hr /> Prescott Capt Wm 130th Ills Vols Camp Ford Tyler Texas Sep 28/64 He suggests to the Gov the condition of his Regt.
