The Daily Dispatch: July 16, 1861., [Electronic resource], Escape from jail. (search)
Jackson Guard. --We call attention to the advertisement of this company in to-day's paper. As we have had occasion to observe before, it is named after the patriot Jackson who was butchered by the Hessians at Alexandria. There are 68 names on the roll, but the company wants at least 50 more, which number should easily be obtained we think. The officers of this company are first-rate fellows, and men enlisting need not want leaders with more disposition to see that they are properly cared for. The Guard is officered as follows: Captain, H. B. Dickinson; 1st Lieutenant, E. A. Miller; 2d Lieutenant, Geo. Hart. They rendezvous under the St. Charles Hotel. Uniforms free.

Recruits Wanted. --Several of the military companies now forming want recruits. We would suggest to young men, that it is more to their credit to volunteer than to be drafted. The Jackson Guard, which left for Lewisburg last Tuesday, and who are, no doubt, now with the forces under Gov. Wise, have a recruiting office at their late headquarters, St. Charles Hotel. The Captain wishes to increase the number of his men to the full complement allowed by law, 104. Applicants for admission will, therefore, be received for a short time. This company, it will be remembered, is named after the martyred Jackson, of Alexandria.--The officers are admirably adapted for their respective posts. Volunteers will meet with good treatment under them. They are Hiram B. Dickinson, (an old Blue,) Captain; E. A. Miller, 1st Lieutenant; George Hart, 2d Lieutenant; William Fisher, 3d Lieutenant. The State needs men. Remember that.

killed one and arrested the other, when, just beyond, a fire was opened upon them from a meadow, where the Federals were concealed in the tall grass. The Page boys jumped the fence, charged, and drove them to a large brick house. From the doors, window, and cupola, a deadly fire was directed at our brave fellows, and nobly did these boys (for juniors they were in such conflicts) exhibit the metal of which this regiment is composed. Two of Capt. Jordan's Rangers, Lieutenant Booton and private Miller, fell at this charge. Fifteen or more of the enemy were killed, and perhaps many more wounded. The enemy's position and overwhelming numbers, sheltered in houses, and large reinforcements coming up, outnumbering us, perhaps twenty to one, caused our detachment to withdraw, saddened at heart at the loss of there two brave comrades, whose bodies we had to leave with the inhospitable savages that held them, and who actually refused to expect a flag of truce sent to inter them.
