f our citizens thought differently — and now we had to do so at last. He said that he would have a brigade in the field, and give the enemy the best that was in him. His remarks were received with great applause by the volunteers and citizens. Col. J. A. Campbell, J. T. Campbell, Esq., and John N. Humes, Esq., were called upon, each of whom made some remarks. Gov. Floyd left for Glade Springs, where he made a speech of about two hourslength. I was not present, I cannot report what he said, but have been informed that it was an excellent speech. It could not be otherwise. Mrs. Floyd then presented a fine flag to the "Glade Springs Rifle Company," of which Capt. Carson is commandant. This company is composed of excellent material; it has a No. 1 Captain, and good Lieutenants. Now, let me tell you that such a company, with such officers, fighting under a flag presented by such a patriotic and noble-hearted woman as Mrs. Floyd, never can be conquered. Washington.
