From the
Richmond
Dispatch,
8/26/1861
, p. 2
Among the wounded
prisoners now at the
General
Hospital
, north corner of
2d street
, are Captain Shillington and Sergeant McKenzie, of the 79th
Regiment, (Highlanders,) whose Colonel (Cameron) was killed in the battle of 21st
July; R. M. Shurteff, the sketcher for Frank Leslie’s Illustrated News, who
was wounded near Hampton and taken prisoner at the time Rawlings was killed by a
scouting party of our soldiers; Captain Jenkings, of the Naval Brigade, taken
prisoner near Fortress Monroe; and Lieut. Hamblin, of the Scott Life Guard. The
latter, who is a tall, likely-looking fellow, and withal very intelligent, is a
son of the late well-known actor and manager, Thomas S. Hamblin, who has been
seen with acceptance on a different stage
by most of our older citizens than the one on which his son lately appeared.
