February 23, 1863, The New York Herald
Owing, no doubt, to the severe snow storm which raged yesterday, our news from the Army of the Potomac and from the West did not reach us. It is probable, however, that no movements have taken place in either direction. From Fortress Monroe we learn that the flag of Truce boat which arrived there on the 20th instant, brought down between two and three hundred Union prisoners who had been exchanged. The Richmond Enquirer of the 20th instant tells of an advance of the Union army in Middle Tennessee, but its reports are so vague as not to be worth much credit. The Texas journals complain of the invasion of the border counties of that State by Mexican banditti, some of the fighting under the United States flag.
