1862 September 12 Staunton, Va.

[from the diary of Joseph Addison Waddell, civilian employee of the QuarterMaster Dept.]



Friday, Sept. 12, 1862.
The report as to the capture of Cincinnati turns out
untrue, as appears from the following taken from
the Richmond Dispatch of yesterday:

From the North



The demand for the s
urrender of Cin-
cinnati was said to
have been made on the 4th
Strange to find that
Pennsylvania is now
apprehensive of in-
vasion.
No news by the train this evening — not a rumor
to-day from any quarter.

[transcript by the Valley of the Shadow project]

MSS 38-258
