The Prisoners Arrive

Today at Brandy Station: June 13, 1863

Two articles from the Richmond Dispatch:

--Fifty-nine Yankees, most of them wounded, captured in the fight at Brandy Station, were received at the Libby prison during the day yesterday.

--The fight at Brandy Station
The following dispatch, dated Washington, June 9th, is the only notice of the fight in Culpeper which has reached the New York papers:
A severe engagement took place this morning between our cavalry and that of the rebels, under Gen. Stuart. The locality at which it occurred was Beverly's ford, on the Rappahannock, five miles above Rappahannock Station and about the same distance below the Sulphur Springs.

An execution in Richmond

Today at Brandy Station: May 24, 1863

in the Richmond Daily Dispatch
--A negro woman named Clara Ann, slave of Mr. Blank, of Culpeper county, heretofore condemned to be hung for the murder of her mistress, who was removed to this city three weeks since for safe keeping, was executed yesterday in the interior yard of the Penitentiary, by order of the Governor. The culprit was put on the gallows at fifteen minutes past two o'clock, by Mr. Peter Phillips, Deputy Sheriff of Henrico county, and remained suspended until 3 o'clock. Rev. Mr. Sweeney offered an affecting prayer to the Throne of Grace prior thereto. But few spectators were present.

I can find no other references to this event, the story is out there somewhere, but it eludes me, for now.
