The situation of affairs in Southwest Virginia was critical, however, in many respects, and called for qualities of the first order in its commander. Civil government was almost suspended by the remoteness of the country from the seat of Government, but chiefly from the fact that the military feature had almost absorbed the civil in pursuits as well as the thoughts of men.
