November 19, 1861 – Opinions of the Press of Col. Singletary’s Late Expedition

The Charlotte Bulletin of the 11th in copying our remarks made some days ago headed “Render Unto Caezar,” &c., makes the remark which follow :

Col. Singletary.—We truly regret to learn that the brave, humane and dashing officer, whose name heads this notice, has been arrested by order of Gen. Hill, for having gone on an expedition without orders, but which has resulted in a way a thousand times more important than would have been the recapture of Hatteras, the Federal soldiers there, and the total destruction of the fort.
