well, it may seem unnecessary and unjust to designate any by name, but I cannot close without calling your attention to the gallant conduct and valuable assistance rendered me that day by Major J. Brumback, and Captain J. M. Stuart, company A, who, after the first engagement, acted as one of my field-officers. Among the officers who were in the several engagements, and who displayed great personal courage, I desire to mention Captains Thomas, Darety, and Wylie; Lieutenants Peters, Thrapp, Strayer and Geomans. Lieutenant A. G. Tuther, Adjutant, although captured early in the day, displayed great gallantry, and rendered valuable assistance during the time he was engaged. Captain Taylor's company at the commencement of the last engagement were deployed as skirmishers, and he deserves great credit for the gallant and skilful manner in which he handled his men. I am, Governor, very respectfully, Your obedient servant, W. L. Mcmillen, Colonel Commanding. His Excellency David Tod

There's another little band, that will make the rebels stand, And gallant Captain Wilson is a-training, And when they draw a bead on Jeffy's gallant steed, They will send him to the happy land of Canaan. Chorus — Ho, ho, ho, fal-de-ral-de-da, etc. Faulhaber's got some boys, that will make a noise, When their bullets on the rebels go to raining, And if they don't look out, oh! he will rub them out, And send them to the happy land of Canaan. Chorus — Ho, ho, ho, fal-de-ral-de-da, etc. Captain Strayer's boys are some, and can whip them ten to one, And will make secession go to waning, And they will cut a swell, and will send them all to----, Or into the happy land of Canaan. Chorus — Ho, ho, ho, fal-de-ral-de-da, etc. Captain Kilkenny's a whale, when he gets under sail, And his boys have no reason for complaining, For he's got them under drill, the secessionists to kill, And send them to the happy land of Canaan. Chorus — Ho, ho, ho, fal-de-ral-de-da, etc. Captain Hardy, he comes
The Daily Dispatch: January 3, 1861., [Electronic resource], Four Negroes drowned. (search)
Four Negroes drowned. --On Wednesday last (the day after Christmas) four free negroes were drowned in the Shenandoah river, in Rockingham county, Va., a few miles below Port Republic. They were in a boat, trying to cross the river. One fell out, whereupon the other three ran to the same end of the boat to render him assistance, which caused that end of the boat to sink, and all three were then thrown into the water, and as they could not swim, all were drowned. They were all found the next day, and were buried upon the farm of Mr. Strayer. It is believed that they were under the influence of liquor, as a bottle was found in the pocket of one. They also had a deck of cards and some counterfeit money about them.
