The Daily Dispatch: May 24, 1861., [Electronic resource], King William Co., May 20, 1861. (search)
King William Co., May 20, 1861. King William votes about 600. Four hundred names are on her muster-roll. Of the latter, one company is in the field, under the command of W. R. Aylett. Another company (Cavalry) under B. B. Douglas, will soon be ready; and still another, of artillery, is organizing. The "Silver Grays," 65 in number, under the command of a popular veteran, H. Littlepage, have offered as a Home Guard. Their heads present a shining mark, but they march as sprightly as boys. When I first saw them drill, I supposed the company made up of widowers. I would respectfully suggest that our supply of medicine and food throughout the country be used judiciously and economically, so as to insure plenty. Let us raise corn, wheat, potatoes, hay and forage crops to the extent of our ability, to be prepared for a long war. Our duty as patriots require us to be active, and to remember that a country is more injured by neglect than by actual destruction of property.
