To enumerate the other officers and privates would take up more space than you could spare, though not more than they deserve; for they are all as brave and glorious a set of fellows as ever breathed Virginia air. I cannot perform a more acceptable service to the country readers of the Dispatch, particularly those who live in good old Mecklenburg, than to jot down my observations as to that very scarce article — salt.
